>> happy monday toy guys from the electoral college vote to the trump transition. first breaking news overseas. >> in my opinion were dead and dozens injured in a market in berlin. this appears to be deliberate attack. tom only is live outside the german embassy tom. >> jim, shawn, we spent far too much time standing over these embassys in washington d.c. on the heels of what appears to be another terrorist attack tonight that's the way it is investigated in germany here at the german embassy a little over an hour ago let

shoulder and the flag of germany was lower todd half staff in these past indications like in france and paris and like that attack in african these embassies have been a focal point and gathering point for people in the united states that comes to the facility and express condolences and we're expecting that will be the case as well here tonight in d.c.. let us show you video we're getting into the newsroom from the scene in girl any. and the truck rammed into a crowded market in central berlin. tonight it killed at least nine people and 50 more seriously injured and frankly some crushed under the weight of a truck we're klerping for reports how it turned out as plows into high speed into a crowded

officially right now police in berlin are investigating this as deliberate attack and not yet categorically termed this as ter risetic attack. from the white house we're learning that's how u.s. officials are terping this there was a statement out for the national security advisor this evening from the whis house saying u.s. condemns in strongest terms what appears to be a terrorist attack at this christmas market in berlin. keep in mind these truck attacks have become a recent hallmark of especially isis related lone wolf attacks. back on basdille day in paris and france and city of nice a sea side resort packed with french citizens that area was attacked and 80 people were killed in a truck attack on bastille day. and certainly this is another concern ago

and you will learn over the next several hours german officials try to piece together exactly what happened tonight. and in berlin in this crowded christmas market. for now liver at the german embassy north west d.c. tom fitzgerald "fox5 local news". >> members of the electoral college cast their votes for president today. pretty mundane event that happens and instead full of trauma as ants eye trump forces tried one last time to deny the white house. >> this is what we're talking about tonight at 6:30 we have tweets coming in now use #tweet teet and he electoral college met to make it official. >> joining us via skype thank you jason for joining sfwlus thank you for having me. >> we know now it's official donald trump got the official votes needed to win election. let's

joining us now the trauma that played out today this is not about donald trump but about hillary clinton. >> there was lights push that democrats wanted faceless electors in states trump won to castaway votes and switch to hillary clinton to avoid getting those 270 electoral votes it backfired and there were no electors supposed to be voting for hill hem and casting her off and voting for other candidates instead. colin powell is interesting choice and he has three faceless electors to choose him. and people like john kasich and ron fall texas. >> there was a push as always from hollywood. we had a number of celebrities come out and try to encouragep electors not to vote for trump or did the right thing this rings on deaf ears. what influence do

>> that's right when you look at how electors are the candidate that wins the state is free reign of where le lec tores would win. why would someone chosen by trump's people then go and not vote for him in the electoral college. >> didn't make much stops pin nopz elector ral college. >> we know there were 37 that would need too change to not win this. in the end explain to viewer he would have won anyway this is a act of futility right? >> exactly. right. if trump ended up below 70 he welcome toreal votes house republicans still have a clear majority in the house of representatives. so there was no stopping this even if he got below 20 electoral votes and he entered up in the house. >> four years, one month and about 15 days ago donald trump tweeted electoral

disaster for democracy do you think tonight his mind maybe changed a little bit. >> i would assume so. that was changely the septemberment that a lot of republicans were having on that 2012 election night when it seemed for a very, very brief moment that mitt romney would lose electoral college and win popular vote and in the end that did not end up happening theres with a an hour or two republicans felt that way. >> interesting. jason russel contributing editor for the washington examiner. thanks for joining us on the. >> of monthing on. ronica cleary getting the pulse of the people on this one. >> she's at station four a vawpt on the water front in southwest. ronica, i know you're talking to people to find out what they think about the electoral college? >> hey, shawn, jim, yes we are out here getting pulse of the people. we're checking in. do you not -- not just what do you think of the electoral college there's a lot of talk of replacing the popular vote. what's your name. >> kevin bliss. >> what do you think should be replaced

>> probably but it serve as i purpose. >> it's interesting to see people debate it. thank you so much. that pizza look good. >> who is your name. >> laru graves. >> replace the electoral college with popular vote. >> should have been replaced a long time ago. it's an instrument that goes back to any south to count slaves we're long past that era. as president said it's antiquated instrument. >> do you ever worry as a residents of d.c. would the vote not matter. they talk about emphasis on popular states like california, populous states. do you think that would hurt you or do you think you would be the same in a place like d.c. >> i think first of all america needs to understand

it in the first place to mack a decision about whether we should maintain this flawed instrument. >> thank you so much for those thoughtful comments. we have a couple more people back here and what is your name. >> my name is hel. >> replace or keep electoral college. >> i'm of two mind about it i think popular vote matters however the minute you do it that way i i you have population accidenters hat lt that over represent certain people and lesser populations centers that then get under respected while in total through the electoral college they're well represented and i think they'll have to make sure it's very balanced and that all americans get represented well. >> one last one what do you think. keep or replace the electoral college. >> replace it. weren't we taught in school this is dem oingcy and majority wins? >> we were taught that. and then when you really get into nuts and bolts smoomz you scratch head isn't that right sdl that's exactly right. >> what is your name. >> jeff. >> thank you so m

>> and there you have it we've talked about electoral college versus popular vote. for sometime helen brought up a good point you're going to vok focus on popular states. they focus on swing states. ultimately it doesn't sound like either system is perfect but we always like to hear from you. do you think we should keep electoral college and replace with popular vote use tweet fweet we're sending it back to you. >> thank you very much, ronica. i want to point out with we talk about this something that's interesting i know a lot of young people millennials who did not necessarily agree with the way the election went and they thought my vote did not matter because maybe they voted for hillary clinton or bernie sanders and in the end it didn't matter but the popular vote won and electoral vote deposit. it would be interesting to see as we progress some young folks get into office and what happened? >> that said you look at margins here itemp calling it biggest landslide in histor

over 00 hillary clinton had almost million more popular votes that's how it works. >> let's talk to sue now. we're talking popular things his talk about the forecast over the next few days. it warms a little bit, lit bill. >> sure did. it's a good thing. slipping and sliding we did over the weekend. tonight will be the coldest night of the next 7 the way things are looking now. gradual warming trend as we go through this week. but look at this shawn, jim, we're thinking temperatures drop into the teens tonight to 5 degrees and redskins game cold dropping to upper 20s and not very windy and that will help. tomorrow morning is cold start at, lots of sunshine. 28, and noon hour we should get up to with plenty of sunshine and by 4:00 that temperature 41. so very cold for kids tomorrow morning at the bus stop and nice warm-up is on the way. and now i want to you see again high temperatures tomorrow upper 30s to low 40s.

this will be last cool day because check out the 7 day forecast as we do the run-up to christmas eve and christmas day we're going to be seeing things get warmer as early as wednesday. 50. by thursday, 53. shower is possible and it's very small chance. i deposit even feel good enough to put it on there. frontal boundry comes through. it is possible it could squeeze out moisture just not a lot. what it does is drop temperature friday to 48. a couple showers possible late and maybe linger to christmas day which will be 53 and we are on warming trend and monday is a dry day. in fact warmen than 61. hope you like what you see. unfortunately it won't be a whit

are looking now. jim, shawn. >> sorry for those guys that don't like snow. i don't like it but you know. >> there you have it. >> "washington post" makes it easier to fact check donald trump twitter account. >> also find out how president obama made history today. 5@630 is back

jim danced on tv did you see that. >> i love it. >> that's what happensp in the holidays. >> wait until the whine starts flowing ten minutes here. >> let's tack a bit about president obama making history today. pardons 78 people and shortened sentences of 15

convicted of federal crimes this is most individual number of clemenceys by a single president he has been granting at a rapid fire pace and she's short eping rather than pardons he pardons 148 people during presidency and he's shortened sentences of nearly 100 others including 395 serving life sentences. >> a lot of those were drug case where's people were convicted in the days of crack and there was a sgrepcy between those convicted of crack issues and those convicted of cocaine. >> and this is when people pay attention to the last couple days of presidency whom are getting those pardons. little little obviously got in trouble back in the day. we'll see what happens over the next few weeks. >> we'll be watching. >> "washington post" has new tactic to fact check president-elect tweets. >> they created a fact checker

are and click on one of donald trump's tweets fact checker adds information about the subject of the tweet. now sometimes it points out factual errors and other times adds more information for context and post says it's still work in progress and that it will take a little time for extension to update because president-elect tweets and so much. that makes this a nass natureing exercise in journalism people say it's the post and bias this is heart of journalism taking things president says in venue in president used before and at least putting it against flip assessment. >> it's having that is the way we is been seen lately not literally but the way donald trump seems to communicate with all us he has not hld a press dmvrps 130 some odd days you you this is the way he communicates. >> that's not a bad thing considering the fact this is the free world with direct line interacts

bit we'll see how to works out. >> saturday night live took an aim at donald trump and hillary clinton. >> and look at details work going in through the new wax figures of the president-elect when we come back.
