carefully in ohio and indiana. that front will fall apart, but, some that cloud cover will spill into the region, we will bel partly to mostly sunny and we will remain dry. got a little fog morning particularly along some of theas rivers, including the potomac, keep that in mind, as you go up, 76 daytime high in washington, 78 in gaithersburg, and manassas, 75 for daytime high, moving to the 80s, details on that? few.jus let's get the traffic with steve hershorn. >> reporter: we're going start with look at sente of thet accident on the ramp from southbound i-97, and anne arundel county to go west on route no, two tractor trailers, blocking the ramp to the fuel spill, the ramp is still blocked, 97 is open, but you're going to find delays heading down from ben field southbound i-97. we head over to virginia,vi northbound, and up toward

springfield, where two left lanes are closed inner loop northbound on north 95 in virginia. we head over to the beltway near new hampshire avenue, very heavy, now traffic on the right, outer loop heading westbound to georgia avenue, and silver spring, still very slow, pretty good, the wilson bridge, bothbr sidesid looking pretty good. on the beltway at brarc bafn avh you can see the back of an of accident that was at saint barnabas road that was moved over to the shoulder. that's a look at the fox on time traffic. on the eve of the first government shutdown in 17 years, congress is on hold.ld. the senate not due to return until 2:00 this afternoon, and senate democrats have crowd to reject a temporary spending bill measure passed by the republican-led house yesterday. that bill would keep washington running but delays the affordable care act obama care

for one year. had those lawmakers have one dao to reach an agreement, or all non-isn'nonessential workers col without pay. some the businesses impacted, smicket sonnian smithe national zoo. a small number of head start programs would shutdown right away as their grants run out tomorrow. and the assistance program, wic will shutdown, though school plans and meals would continue as normal. congress is back at whatba seems to be a starting pointinpo with no compromise to fund the government for reform obama care. let's go to melanie with wi

reports. >> reporter: some of: lawmakers are starting to comeo to their house offices earlyeay this morning. it's going to be a regular dayr and then they will wait and see whams in thwhat happens in the a one of the things that happened at the senate yesterday another tactic, another option was for senators to agree to defund or get rid of a medical device taxt on things like pacemakers andsnd wheel chairs, this is something that a lot of senators don't like and like to revisit, so there's perhaps some hope in thn house of representatives that tt there would be enough senators who dislike that tax that they might agree to trade that off for funding the government.t. as we heard yesterday, it doesn't look like many of thehe senate torsors of the leadershie willing to trade on anything.hi. what are your feelings on this.s

you voted 40 times to repealrepl obama care rules, and so far nothing, why continue to go at this? >> we see the problem with the affordable care act. i hear daily the co constituent, the issues they are having, i ha think we should continue to have the debate, i think we should continue to fund the government, we have an obligation, i heardhd loud and clear that they want the government to continue to be open, and continue to have a a debate on the affordable care act. i believe we have an obligation to keep the government operating, i don't want to see a shutdown.shut hopefully continue governmente operations as we continue to debate the affordable care act. >> so far the senate and theset white house have been unwilling to negotiate on any changes, no attachments, no riders, nothing, clean continuing resolution. that is it. how far do you go with this, and does that put you in a positionn

of perhaps bucking the house republican leadership?hip? >> well, i think there will be a debate amongst republicans on what is our next step. i warrant people to understand what i'm hearing from my district and that is make sure that we don't shutdown the government.gov leaders will have discussions ve on where we go, make sure that come midnight or a minute or two before, we get the job of theof nation done. >> how do you see the day goingo here. it looks like it's unclickl unl senate is going to pass anything but a clean pr. >> i support they will take the bill, and do something with it, and send to us. us. bit end of the day the house can act affirmatively as well as thl senate to make sure we avoid a shutdown. what i'm hoping is that those conversations take place, deerc, wherderchwheredefinewhere we ca.

>> i was talking to a cabdriver and asked him, he is one who has to go and buy health insurance. he is hopeful. he wants to buy health insuranc and wants it to be affordable. he says why not wait and let itt get started.t why not wait as your counterpart tim kaine suggested and make th changes once we know what needs to be changed, i think there's >> i this there's so much uncertainty, and there's so man people who can't get their questions answers ho how much oa stipulaten are they going to receive, to me it's not ready for prime time. with that much uncertainty, then best thing to do is take a step back and make sure we have this right. i don't want to go out there and put something in place that is not going to work. it would be the same as get on board a merit rider, we are not

sure if this is going to work and see if it flies. we owe it to folks to make sure that we look at this, and understand what is going tog happen with it, and make suresue that by any means that we have a system that is going to work for individuals. i think there's different wayses to do that? there's a lot of different thoughts and ideas of how to pu the power back in the mandz of f the patient and the provider, pi not sure in the bureaucraciy, that we have, many, many problems. >> went to go.to i want to ask you directly, if f it comes point to tonight, it's midnight, and you have a choice of voting on clean pr even ifpr it's a temporary one, approximate are you going to you vote for that? >> we will see what comes to us it's hard to prognosticate. i want to continue government operations. i think there's an opportunity to do that as well as continue to work on the things that the american people want us to continue to work on. >> we will see you ternin tony d

allison, it could be a latea night here. maryland congressman chris van hollen is going to be with us to give us a look at the grchmengovernment shutdown. we are talking about federal workers, it would be felt. felt >> a workforce that is battered by a three year wage raisee freeze, and dequestion sequestr. and we are here, we are happy you are with us today. >> thank you, allison, we are ar happy to be here. >> we will talk with representative van hollen, butbt by watching our colleagues, report, so much uncertainty inur the next 17 hours or so. what is your feeling? >> my first feeling, it because 48 million people don't have't healthcare and tomorrow morning

we will have the option of buying health insurance, and the final decision is to lock federal employees out of their jobs, i'm standing in total amazement that would be the the decision that the members thehat house of representatives wouldud be making today. >> do you view what is being said by the variousous representatives and senators ass political posturing? >> yes, it clearly is political postering. people want to feel secure when they get on airplanes, they want the screening that tsa provides, people want the borders, this country to be safe, and theyth want food to be inspected and federal healthcare and veterans benefits. >> what has the union been doin to talk to members or brace members or have their voices heard. >> we clearly have been doing ao great deal of interaction withan our on membership.ou we are preparing to do rallies,

and picts and things of that nature. i have a nationwide telethon meeting scheduled with almost a quarter of a million members of age to discuss the impact, andic also to discuss the fact, that we want them to ring the telephones off on capitol hill.t we want them to ring the phonese off at the white house.e whit we do not want president obamadt to go back on his promise that we will not be the barrin barga chip, that the federal employee will receive a cost of living adjustment, no cuts to their retirement, and no cuts to social security and no more sequestration, furloughs and job loss. >> i think i know the answer tor this question. do you feel that federal employees are bearing the brunt, because they have suffered the furloughs, they have had the three year wage freeze, ete, et cetera, et cetera.

>> federal employees have contributed over $122 billion t the federal deficit that they have given in pay freezes, increased retirementrement contributions things of that nature. ness yes. they are feeling the brunt end of it, but most of the americane public is receiving the end off it. they are not receiving theivingt services that people want ande expect to receive from thehe federal government.nment. >> how impactful is this? you know we throw words around like furlough days, and we're talking about the governmentnmet shutdown. we don't do it lightly, oftly, course, neither tony nor myself work for the federal government. put us in the mind of somebody who is making ends meet. i have to be honest, there's some who say, federal workers they get all the benefits, they, are fat cats, they're living li fine. say whatgoing to difference does it make, you know that is out there. >> most the employees, that we represent, make average salary of 35 to $40,000 a year.0,000 let's be real over that.

that is not a great deal of money. they are struggling to make endn meet. had their pay frozen for three years, they have been furloughed six days this year. they have lost a week and a day of pay, they are already behind on their bills, they are janitors in government buildtions, they are nursing assistants in military hospitalp right now caring for wounded. sure we represent higher gradedd employee, but if you wouldd average it out, most of them are making between 35 and $40,000 a0 year, and now to put them out of work or require them to go too work, but yet not pay them on pay day. >> i said, is that even legal to do that? >> we do not believe that is legal. we believe that you have to authorized a budget for the federal government and withoutwo the authorization of a government we do not believe any money to expanded essential or nonessential. >> would you advice your nebz t

to not go to work. >> no, circumstances we will sir members to follow the instructions that their supervisors give them. if they are adviced to return to work, they should report to work, we will take on the battles concerning their pay, we will always advice them, do what thinker supervisors instructvirs them to do. >> we appreciate you coming in today. >> thank you very much. >> all right, t it's 7:14 now. our coverage of the shutdown how is down continues. does he think a deal is really possible today. >> and she was acquitted of murder but now her case is back in court. could amanda knox end up back behind bars? the latest on retrial back overseas. a win for the redskins. it wasn't pretty, but they got it done. what finally clicked for the the

let's do some traffic with steve hershorn. steve good morning.odmo we will start off with ath a couple of things. powder mill road had a report of a vehicle fire north of the beltway, and north and east of there, there was an accident int laurel near the intersection ofc 1 everyone i1 everyone in197 an we will head over that incident. i everyon97, anne anne arundel , ramp is still closed. ashton parkway is getting busy, a lot of people avoiding the delays on i97 which begins near bentfield boulevard.nt we headfi over to virginia righi now where we had the accident oc the inner loop northbound, on 495 near dispa gallows road prey heavy off of springfield. on to live shots, here we are in

beverly route 50, stop and go in a few stretches, watch out for t bit of a delay headed into town. sunshine blocking there, heavier now after saint barnabas road to get to the wilson bridge. 395 to seminary road. not too bad right now and at the 14 street bridge, heavier butut moving at speed, accident and incident free. that's a look at the fox 5 on fo time traffic. our coverage of the shutdown standoff continues now. earlier this hour we heard from republican representative ro ro whitman from virginia. now we are hearing from anotherr side of the aisle. >> representative vis van hol ho lan ohandvanhollen, thank you co for joining us. >> i read the article that you penned for the huffington post.o where you refer to the

republican's attack on the affordable care act, as hypocrite al.h i was wondering, i didn't know much about this.is. >> antonio, a lot of people dope not know this. the republican budget that passed the house of representatives, relies on bigon parts of obama care in order onn to come into balance.ba so here they are riding around the country saying defund obama care, get rid of obama care, but in the budget in which almostmo every republican voted for, they have big components of obama care. they keep the medicare savings. you remember it was going to be the end of medicare. it was a scare tactic.are in fact, they kept the savingsh in their budget. they complain about the obamaob care tax revenue, but in their budget they have the exact same level of revenue as is generated by at fordable car the affordab.

if you were to repeal obama care, thinker budget would not be -- their budget would not be in the balance that they claim it is. it is hypocritical, where they h say we are going to get rid of obama care and on the other para present a budget that relies heavily on obama care. there's another piece, the ryan-republican plan for medicare is designed very much like obama care. they want to take people who are in medicare and put them into a medicare exchange program.ex if youch are wasn't millions of uninsured people that is going to benefit from the affordable care act. the affordable care act is a big step up. but if you are on medicare and n you had guaranteed coverage, ite would not be a step up to go go into an exchange with a premium support or a voucher. the great irony here is that the republicans are proposing an an obama care plan for people whowh already have medicare, but

denying affordable healthcare te the millions who have no coverage.rage. >> let me follow this quickly. does that lead you to believe that in fact, what we are ar hearing from the republicans right now is indeed grand standing and of the phrase you u used earlier political posturing? >> there's no doubt they are political posturing. what they got right now is a far, right extreme faction ofe the republican party running thr show in washington. speaker boehner has lost control of the house, senator ted cruz, who is the guy reading green eggs and ham late into the night the other night is unking are the show. he is effectively the speaker oe the house, speaker cruz, and as a result speaker boehner is not allowing a vote on a simple bill to keep the govern. funded. and the tragedy of this is todao if the speaker of the house were to allow us to vote on that bill, all 435 members it would

pass, and the government wouldre stay open. this isn't the people's house, it's a democracy. in the senate harry reid votedded up or down on the proposal, it lost, but he held h the vote. so why doesn't speaker boehnerbo hold a vote. he can vote against it if he he wants to shutdown the government, but let's have a vote. >> we talked about political posturing, how big of a factor rothe constituents. we hear a lot, my constituents say we don't want this. th political posturing one hand, but saving their base, folks who voted them in office. how if this is the case, how is this miseducation not been corrected from lawmakers? >> well, look, there's been aben whole lot of misinformation putn out thereabout the affordable care act.ca ire mean, there's been scare mon goring, you remember the death

panels that were going to be created. they said it was going to be the government takeover of healthcare. independent analysis, like politic fact, they said it's ths lie of the year, the notion that it's a government takeover. these are exchanges where private insurance companies areo going to be offering healthhealh insurance for people to purchase. and of course, people forget that millions of americans righi now are benefiting from affordable care act.able there's a lot of kids who have preexisting conditions, pediatric cancer, diabetes,, asthma, who would have been denied affordable coverage, would have been denied coverage, who are now getting coverage. there's seniors with high prescription drug cost who are getting help with their medicare prescriptions. they don't fall in the so-called bill, millions of americans are benefit, and tomorrow on october first, exchanges will begin to open where millions more will be

have affordable care, and not b denied the conk. i don'i -- the coverage. i don't know what the folks constituents are saying, they are listening to a very loud group of people, but a small a group of people. as a result you are seeing the government come to a stand still. the approximate american people shouldn't become the victims of the civil war. >> do you think that our government will shutdown at midnight. >> it's all up to speak boehner. if he refuses to allow a bill to keep the government going, then there will be a shutdown. it's all in his hands. >> representative chris van hollen thank you. >> our coverage of the shutdown showdown continues online at myfoxdc.com, we continue to post

updates our facebook and twitter pages. fox 5 news continues at 7:27.

voted to defund or delay the affordable care act, and i think there be a debate today amongst republicans on what is our nextt step. i want to make sure that people understand what i'm hearing from high district and that is that we make sure tha that we don't shutdown the government down. >> speaker boehner is not allowing a vote on a simple bil to keep the government funded. the tragedy, today if the the speaker of the house were to allow us to vote on that bill, our 435 members, it would pass. >> we did see a bit of a bipartisanship over the weekend the house voted unanimously to n make sure that the members ofs f the smile tare woul military woe get paid in case of a shutdown. it's possible that we could see a bill come up that would be a short-term extension, maybe a week or so to keep going with the government funded and allow for a few more negotiations, bu so far we're not hearing any word of negotiations at this

that. >> the frustration is in lastst year, they had the best offense, and this year the offense overall has looked pretty inept. >> what do you think about the play calling by can han can a ht seems vanilla for me. m >> they had the red scirntionz n they start the games it's ait's script. it doesn't seem to be working. >> the game was more balanced, it wasn't as savvy, and before al got injured, he was featured a lot more. >> it's tough to criticize. they watch all the film, they are calling plays for a reason. and monday morning to criticize them, but you know, there was a lot more balance and that wasth key for them -- offense, andoffe that was key for them. and alex, if he is out for the

dallas game in two weeks, thats, could be huge. huge >> one thing you have seen, tony, is it doesn't seem it's all rgiii's legs, it doesn't seem the runs are as effect not just in washington butbu throughout the league.hr the league is caught uoup on thn and that was some of the flash last year and the sizzle in the redskins offense on.dskins >> i think you are right. >> a later by is nice, becausebs you can rest up and get healthye again. i like the by here, because the can regroup, they come off of a win and i think we will learn a lot about this team when they play dallas when they come back. >> i agree. >> and remember, they did sweep dallas last year. they can beat this team. and rgiii had an electrifying el performance in dallas on thanksgiving. he likes going to texas to play. >> and they beat them. alfred morris had 200 yards rushing that way, so they couldh

do it that way. >> dallas isn't the oakland raiders, it's a great receiver, this des brian, they got other weapons, romo is having a pretty good year. we got to look at the opponent, the raiders are a bad team. it's nice to get first win, butt keep it in perspective. >> sports junkies, good to talkt to you again. we will talk to you again this week. >> thank you, guys. >> my pleasure, 106.7 the fan. the sports junkies. the major leagues, the gnat skip he were managed his final game in arizona on sunday.na on as for the nats last game theth season, top of the 6 tied at one, teef lombardozzi comes first. and as the bottom of the 8th, tied at two, aj pollock. >> pollock. >> pollock, thank you, with grounder off pitcher brian matthews allowing the
