brakes headed south from braddic road. all lanes are open across thehe 14th street bridge.bri the earlier problem there now gone. gone. coming in from montville comingg out towards the split, a minor fender bender toward 38 but but that's cleared.lered. no trouble spots to report right now on booth loops, trafficrafic slowly at 2:0 2,heading overer towards the split.lit traffic light delays northeastot to northwest.rthw no trouble spots to report right now for those traveling down don south at the wilson bridge.bri that's a check of your on time traffic.traf once again here's thatre's h disturbing video from new yorkfk city. it shined an unwanted spotlightt on many of the country'sunry's motorcycle clubs.clbs. a president of a local ridingrig club who says there are many may members who are law-abiding butb

there are some of them you seeue doing wheelies and tricks on the highway and race their bikes at terrifying speeds. s so how much of a problem is it t for local police and what are a they doing to make the roadsods safer for all travelers.avelers. joining us now is commander ofmf the traffic endorse.endose. section of prince george'sgeo county police.coun thank you for coming in, sir. s. let me ask you this, first of, f all, of you first saw the videoo which has made the rounds.ounds. millions of people have seen itn now. what were your thoughts?hots? obviously that's an extremeextee incident there but was itwas it something you could relate to in terms of how motorcycle ridersri and drivers of others vehicleshs area the road? rod? >> not really.reay. obviously that's disturbing.urb. it would probably beablybe inappropriate for me to commentt on what is obviously an ongoing investigation.inve while that is in fact aat is ina disturbing video, it's nots t something that i've seen in in prince george's county.ou >> tell me what you have seen in prince george's county. are there problems or basicallyy

do things go pretty smoothly?moy >> there's always going to be problems. we have a large problem withwth bikers on certain days of the ot week, they race, they set upt up races to see if they can get ge interest one point to theto he another, say from d.c. to to annapolis in a set period of pef time. time. on route 50, we experiencexpce problems on route 220 but20 but generally there's one or twowo riders going fast. something on that scale, i havee not seen that.at. >> popping wheelies, racing from d.c. to annapolis, i assumeassue that's against the law.nst the . >> yes, clearly against the lawh there are some problems withwith motorcycles that are unique toto motorcycles.mots one of the things you don't wanw to go is engage on a motorcyclee on a high-speed pursuit but ut

there's also the danger to thehe rider. even though he may be violatingg the law, if he outrides hiss s skills and we hurt him or heorhe hurts himself, it's going to bee the police who caused this accident, not so much the rider. >> one of the things we've heard about, our last guest talkedalkd about some of the younger riders riding what are called prop prop rockets. summer small vehicles, very, ve, very fast. have you seen an increase in the use of those types of vehiclesvs and are those the type of of vehicles that tend to be moree involved in the criminalcrinal activity even. e or they are significantly more.m they are the faster bikes.biks. the younger people tend to leann towards them. them. most of the older riders, myself included, ride cruisers or harleys, that sort of things,th, japanese bikes, the crotchroch rockets as they are described,e, are definitely faster.f there's a booster capable ofle o over 200 miles an hour.r. most people don't realize how hw

fast they are and a lot of times drivers have a problem with depth perception, determiningtei how fast that bike is coming atg them and they turn in front ofro the bike, but that happens withh both the cruisers and the japanese sport bikes.. >> i would imagine that your yor police vehicles can't keep upt p with some of those bikes.bikes. >> wouldn't try, wouldn't try. r >> obviously there's going to b some occasions where you may ma have to, there's another crime involved.involve but as far as being able tole to pursue a vehicle that can go 200 miles an hour. hour. >> you wouldn't want to do it anyway. anyw >> obviously there's some soe practical things you're saying,a there are reasons why you can'tt or wouldn't do that, is there te any fear that you're almostalmt giving license to some drivers.r >> the bikers who are going togo run from us are going to run from us.

we have operation that's we runn road runner.run the officers that were supposedd to come today for my motorcyclee unit are in court today for aaya case we have with road runner.r. we do not pursue them with cruisers. we use a helicopter.iter. it's one when we don't have the helicopter available generallyie we don't do road run because wee don't pursue the bike. bi we set up dozens of cruisers inn different locations and let thee helicopter pursue.er pursue. >> we're about out of time herer if a motorcycle driver feels fel like he's being intimidated or harassedded by someone drivingrn an s.u.v. or another vehicle ore if a driver of a standard four-wheel vehicle feels this t they are being intimidated by a motorcycle driver or a group off motorcycle drivers, what shouldd people do?o? >> i think we believe the drivei in the incident in new york, hek did the right thing. thi

he had his wife call 911. 911. most of the time when these ths bikes are like that, they wantnt to stick together in a pack, pac slow down, let them pass.a they are generally notnerally interested in fighting with you. they want to stick together andd don't want to be split up and ad let them go. o. the same for a motorcyclemotorce obviously, that vehicle ishic is larger than you. y. you've got to get out of theut e way. i'm not going it fight with ann s.u.v., i ride a police motorcycle.motorcycle ant to thank the thery much. mu. representative from the road divas for coming out to talk ta about this issue.s thank you. 8:26. 8:26. you got the bike out there,e don't you. 8:26. we'll be back with more in just a moment. what can you score at t.j.maxx?

and everything is shut down, but some things just keep on moving, right. this is big news coming out ofu the defense world.world it really is, alison and thee stark difference to the stories, the inability for washington too operate across either side ofid the aisle and then the abilityb of the u.s. military to pull off this precision strike, two of o them, one in libya, delta forcee operators capturing thisthis terrorist tied to the 1998 bombings in kenya and tanzania. the embassy currently planningpa additional attacks on americanna assets, so he's now in u.s. u.s. custody on a u.s. navy ship being interrogated. secondly navy s.e.a.l.es pulling off a ride against al-shabab,-s, the one responsible for the kenyan terror attack in the mall in the last couple weeks. we

still in the 70s and that's thas all a result of a strong coldrol front that's moving through. thr on the backside of that cold thd front a lot of cooler air that's kicking in.kicking that's going to eventually reach us as that front passes through. let's take a look at radar.k at. we'll show you where thatow yout frontal system is right now.t w. along the line of it, it's, ' firing up some storms as well as some heavy rainfall and that's ' going going to move its wayitswy towards us.toards us. can we get radar up here for mee the storms with that system aree going to start to continue tocoo move their way to the east andad we could see some of this becoming severe for us befores it's said and done because webec have a very warm, humid air masa in place.in place. yesterday in about 15 minutes it produced about a thousandh lightning strikes in illinois s it's a very powerful system andd some of those storms wems we mentioned for us could reallyrey fire up in the severe level levl category by this afternoon. back to our weather maps.aps. as we take a look at the systemm through the course of the day, a the jet stream well to theohe north.h. ahead of it the warmer air is in

the rest was fat, nerves andan internal organs of the chicken.k >> what does that even mean? me? >> the second has 40% meet, thee rest was fat, cartilage ande ad pieces of bone. b >> i think i'd rather those than the blood vessel nuggets. nugge. >> the sample size of twoo nuggets is too small. no kidding.kiding. to generalize the entireentire category of food.gory of ood. >> but if it's in two of them, t what are the odds it's in 2000? >> that means they bought some nuggets, discarded all by two.to that's ridiculous.dicous. >> wouldn't what you found int i one nugget be the same you foini in all the nuggets? ngets? think about it in way, there are all these nuggets, you pick outt just two and both of these youeo pick out have these weird ingredients so therefore i thinn it's pretty powerful.ower >> seems to me you need a bigger
