>> reporter: hey, good morning to all of you. you know i think this is one of those situations where we're going to have to wait and see how it plays out. we do know that metro is anticipating and bracing for a shortage of workers come friday into the weekend and that's because they say they have received an unusual amount of sick calls for this friday, and they're not revealing or they're not saying exactly how many employees have called out for this friday but that number obviously significant and high enough that they are sort of, you know, shoveling folks around and maneuvering the schedules around to make sure that they have plenty of people working and they can minimize the service disruption. but, you know, we talked to the union and they told us this statement here. if you have received any information from management regarding employees calling in sick on friday it is not about contract negotiations or a right to strike. wmata policy requires that employees provide a 72 hour advance notice in anticipation of being sick.

their superior they may be sick on friday, they are only adhering to wmat's own policy. right now metro and the union they're locked in very contentious and contract dispute and so that is why we reached out to the union for statement. but you know metro has not gotten back to us yet but certainly this is something that we at fox5 are paying close attention to to see how think plays out but also it's passengers we talked to plenty who take both bus and rail that they are concerned, you know, it's already tough times with metro, and now you have this to deal with, and so they are saying that while they're hoping for the best, that they are also preparing for another way to get around come friday noon the weekend. that's the latest. back to you guys in the studio. >> we have to watch and see how this plays out. annie yu thank you for that. >> 9:09 is the time right now. it's been one year since beyonce' told her ladies to get in formation. well now she's mar marking the anniversary by paying it forward that could mean a live changing opportunities for local student

melanie alnwick is live in northwest with more on the story. mel? >> reporter: good morning, guys. a lot of people do this when they travel because they really want to experience what it's like to live in a particular city rather than just staying in hotel they want to be able to come and go as they please and let's be clear. this is not just about airbnb. it's about every single booking kind of short-term rentals talking about vrbo, flip key, trip adviser, but airbnb has been spearheading the efforts against this bill. they have accused of this bill sponsor councilman mcduffie of working in the interest of the hotel industry. meanwhile council member mcduffie says airbnb and its hosts are taking away affordable housing from dc residents. home sharing sites like abnb help property owners rent out room or their entire home for short-term stays. airbnb says there were 6,000 lists in dc last year

$59 million year in rental income, even more in local spending and tax revenues but there are concerns that some property owners are basically running unregulated hotels buying up apartment buildings and renting them out short term rather than renning out affordable housing apartments. now mcduffie's bill would require a new short-term rental business license as well as health and safety inspections. it would restrict it willings to only one per property owner and that must be the property owner's primary residence. it would cap rentals at 15 days per year when the property owner is not present but no limit on home sharing when the owner is there. critics say mcduffie's bill inch fringes on property rights. >> i'm always looking for residential solutions to protect the interests of the district of columbia residents. i think this bill does that and if there are tweaks to make i'm top making those tweak at the end of the day steve it will be important to make sure we're allowing an environment in district of columbia to provide housing of people of a i

and all backgrounds. >> reporter: airbnb certainly has been pushing back hard on this. they say they've done their own studies there's no correlation between airbnb rentals and affordable ho housing in the district. they open to some kind of regulation as for the homeowners who participate in this, many of them say they need this kind of income to be able to support the kind of mortgages that they have to take on in order to live in the city. so there real sal balance here that needs to be struck. we know that airbnb is bringing several. their host and host families here to city council headquarters ahead of the hearing this morning. that hearing begins at 10:00 and we certainly do expect it to be quite interesting. back to you guys. >> indeed it will be melanie alnwick, thank you for that. what do you think about this? it's a controversial topic. tweet us at #gooddaydc. weigh in on what you think about airbnb. >> i'm surprised mr. fiscal has hasn't gone this route good i know. >> i'm nervous about staying in so

it's almost like when you pay taxes on a house you have to live there so much for it to be considered your primary residence. if you want to ren it out you basically is to have it as a some place where you actually live as opposed to just buying up a bunch of, you know, properties and then saying i'm going to profit all of this by renting them all out. i think that's what the city and the councilman was afraid of. people will take housing right now that is available for people and make it, you know, individuals will jack the prices up. >> they have a leg up. they got the cash. buying up these homes if you're looking for a house in d.c. and short of a millionaire any more you can't live in d.c. >> right. >> heck, you can't live in maryland or virginia for that matter. >> which also does beg the question, if a person making a moderate income or low income can't really get into the house, isn't this america. shouldn't we be able to do what we want with our property? so definitely see both sides of the issue. for sure. >> let us know what you think as mo said. >> the hearing gets under way at 10:00 o'clock this morning. >> we'll be watching. 9:18. coming up lateroo

more trouble also for justin beiber maybe not directly justin beiber but the company that he keeps. >> well, yes. you guys if you've been following the saga it's been going on for years now. the egging case with justin beiber where he and one of his bodyguards were throwing eggs at a neighbor's house. when he lived out in cal la bass tis. the case was settled criminally justin paid the couple that lived next door $80,000 to repair the damage to their home. they are now filing a civil suit and even that has been going on for a long time but they've now upped the anti because they're saying that this was a hate crime. the reason they're saying that is because in their new lawsuit they say that justin yelled something at them as he was throwing eggs where he said, what are you going to do about it, jew boy? the problem they've admitted in earlier deposition that justin didn't say those things. it was

but they're now, you know, trying to get more -- look if it is a hate crime, what that does for them it means they can get more damages in the civil lawsuit. so like i said they've upped the anti. we'll see if this plays out, but it's a little strange that they've already admitted justin didn't say it were you now they're trying to say he did say it. >> going back to the well an extra time. >> would that be because the criminal as spec of the case was already settled then, would these new revelations if it is deemed to be a hate crime would that open up another criminal investigation or limited to civil damages. >> for the civil damages much the criminal case is over and done with. he did not only paid the less if you toy contusion but did community service. all of that's done for him and, you know, like i said, i don't see how they can reopen it because couple has admitted justin didn't say it. it's really odd but this couple the schwartzs who any of lex door, they have been at this and will not let

they say that -- i mean aside from the damage to their home they say it damaged their reputation and business in the community. so they could get some damages but we'll see how it plays out. it seems like it's never going to end. >> charles, they got him to move out. he no longer is their neighbor? >> they did get that. i guess they got that. you think they would be happy with that. he's no longer there. you don't have to deal with him and his parties and his friends, but no. they want some more. >> all right. charles, thank you so much. and just reminder you can catch tmz weekdays at 3:00 and 7:00 right here on fox5. >> very casm maureen, back over to you. >> thanks guys. 9:45 is the time. coming up next how to host dinner party if your guests have food allergies or specific food preferences. erin is in the kitchen learning what you should avoid to make sure everyone enjoys the meal. ♪ ♪♪

emotional but important. >> yes. >> what is the take away? what do you hope the young people who are watching this forget bout parents but the young people watching this take away from this program? >> first of all i wish i -- the book i read in middle school but the show is so insightful because i think it will make kids more aware of how little thing can affect someone's life. you never know what's going on in someone else's life, and it will make kids more self aware. >> joy, there are scenes of rape and the suicide. how do you present this in way that has an impact, doesn't freak people out, and does tell the story that is important, i mean that's why the former vice-president is here today to talk about sexual assault on campus. this program takes place in high school. but you have middle schoolers watching this. >> well, one of the things, um, we really encourage parents and kids to watch the show together. we created documentary after show called beyond the reasons where a lot of our mental health experts speak about how we shape the

address these issues so unfringingly. but the truth is, um, our creator brian yorkie and all of us felt that if we're not on honest and authentic about whatt then we're not helping the conversation. so if we don't address, um, you know, rape is so prevalent, one in five women and one in 16 men are sexually assaulted. if we can't show that in a way that makes people understand that it's real, that it happens, and that they are not alone that they can turn to their mother or their father like jessica davis does in the show and say, daddy, something happened to me, that is what we are trying to do by making this show is lifting the stigma by creating a conversation and those conv

uncomfortable. >> thank you joy gorman. alisha last thing the suicide notion my daughter says it won't make you commit suicide if you watch this but you realize the impact that that has. is that a take away for you that it can affect a school, your family, an entire community if you take that drastic step to temporary issues? >> yeah. the show really shows how painful and permanent it is. so i think since we're not romanticizing suicide, it will make kids understand that that should not be the final option. that there is a tomorrow, a next year, and you should reach out to anyone a crisis text line, your parents, a loved one. >> alisha, joy, thank you so very much guys. >> thank you we're here at george mason university. where the former vice-president joe biden will be talking about sexual assault on campus and making it aware to the young people who are out there in the auditorium right now. guys? >> important topic. >> um-hmm. >> thank you, bob. all right. 10:11 is the time. the legenda
