we're in biblical times with the hurricanes, the earthquakes. what more could happen? you hate to ask, right? >> you're afraid to ask. >> exactly. >> because what the next day might bring. nonetheless our players with the people in mexico city as well. >> president trump will hold meetings with more world leaders the un in new york. now this comes a few hours after his first address to the un general assembly left a little room for interpretation. now the president threatened to obliterate north korea if the nation does not stop its advocacy -- it's provocative behavior critics called the speech dark. supporters say it was a moment of truth telling. the president referred to north korean leader kim jong-un by relatively new nickname. > rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself. the united states has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself for its allies, well will have no choice but to

north korea. >> he was right to do that. but then ewings the term roc rocketmanmade it sound like our relations with north korea is a video game. this is very serious business. >> the president went well beyond north korea as well and took aim at iran criticizing the iran deal and that country's relationship with terrorist groups like hezbollah. back here at home, now dc has lot of nicknames. but new one might be speed trap city. d.c. council member wants to know or council wants to know if the city is ripping off drivers when it comes to speed cameras and now that council member is asking the department of transportation to investigate whether or not some of the cameras are justified. bob barnard is live in northwest now with more on the growing concerns. bob? >> reporter: yeah. hey maureen, there are 22 cameras in the district that generate each a million dollars or more and the one that mary cheh has been hearing from most people about is this one here. it's along k street jus

here at 22 and street. this camera alone last year generated nearly $12 million. the number one camera is on i-295. as you mentioned mary cheh has written to ddot saying some of these hidden like you see it behind the pillar here. there's not enough warning. the speed limits are too slow. she's got a lot of concerns. joining us is martin dee car o thank you for coming out here. is there any thought that d. to or council will do anything to reduce the impact of these cameras, lessen their numbers, do anything about it? >> district transportation officials have not responded to mary cheh's letter yet. but the city has given every indication they're going in the opposite direction they want to expand the speed cam ran red light camera program. earlier this year, ddot argued in favor of higher fines especially for the so-called super speeder who's go at least 26 miles an hour over the limit. that fine is currently $300. d. to wanted to increase it to a thousand dollars. that proposal was killed but

direct. we should note studies have shown that red light and speed cameras, speed cameras are effective at slowing down drivers and saving lives. >> reporter: mary cheh says her constituents call this a speed trap. >> right. >> reporter: some people think they're money makers others will argue, no, they save lives. >> you say there's a bigger picture here. maybe something else can be done. >> look at the design of the road. it tells the driver to go fast, right no access for pedestrians divided lanes. >> reporter: straight away. >> that's right. the city has taken this goal of called vision zero. eliminating traffic deaths by the year 2024 and a big as spec of that program to redesign streets so you reduce speeding to begin with. you indicate to the driver to slow down naturally. so if we have here in the district streets that are inducing so much speeding, maybe that as spec of the vision zero program the street redesign is what real needs to speed up. >> reporter: all right. martin, thank you. there are some streets in the city where you'll be coming along and they've manufactured a little circle in the middle there to make you go around it

i guess it's all about saving lives, martin, thanks for joining us. guys, we'll send it back in to you. >> all right. speed trap city. they're so sneaky witness. it's so maddening to me. i know you have to weigh the whole safety aspect with -- it's a money grab much that's all i'm saying. >> it doesn't necessarily has to be mutually exclusive. it could make money but also safe lives at the same time. >> yeah. >> you know what i'm saying. >> $12 million from one camera. >> exactly. how many of us here have gotten a ticket at that camera. >> i got it when it first went up. it slowed me down. >> now you know. >> see. >> it's working. >> it works. case in point. >> they got money and i'm slowing down. >> it slows you to 25 on k street. you could bike faster than that. >> i'm not paying for it. >> still more questions than answers after a deadly fire in bethesda. we'll actually have the latest from the investigation there and why neighbors are demanding answers. that story coming up. >> first though bringing boston strong to the big screen, and taking it even stronger. jake gyllenhaal plays real live marathon

before striking puerto rico maria tore of path of destruction up the carribbean islands killing at least nine people. so for the very latest let's go ahead and check in with tucker. this is quite a storm, tuck. >> sure is, holly. let's first check in with saint joy u.s. virgin islands a lot of people locally interested in what's happening there. and reports about 10-inches of rain and hurricane gusts over night. we haven't had a lot of contact with virgin islands since the storm moved through. we'll have to wait and see together. at last look they had hurricane force winds overnight and they didn't -- the good news they didn't get the brunt of what unfortunately puerto rico is getting with the eye wall and eye wall structure moving across the island as we speak. all right. just to back it up for little bit. we had landfall at 6:15 this morning with maria. winds at landfall 155 miles per hour. that's very top end of category four hurricane. we've lost that eye wall structure in the last couple of frames here last couple of ho hours. as land area and

us in areas in puerto rico tearing at the storm the good news the storm is losing intensity winds now 145 miles per hour. the bad news is, not only are we dealing with very very windy conditions in fact winds reportedly about 120 miles per hour gusts in san juan in the past hour. we're dealing with very heavy rain and the potential again montanans areas we can be dealing with serious flooding i was just looking in addition to extreme wind warnings they've got flash flood warnings for most of puerto rico doing an enduring flooding conditions across the island. there's bigger look you can see the eye wall and the eye structure falling apart. it should re-emerge back over very warm waters and kind of reintensify here east of the bahamas over the next couple of days. but we'll have to see exactly how bad the damage is in puerto rico. all right. just want to show you look, i'd say 90% of the -- 80 to 90% of the island dealing with hurricane force wind conditions that's the wind field, and that's over 75 miles per hour. likely to be pretty extensive damage

interesting, pure tow ricoh has not seen storm of this magnitude in quite sometime. go back to hugo in ' '89. that kind of brush the island and then get back into the late 1920s, early 1930s last time a direct landfall of a major hurricane you can see the wind feel will lift out. pressure up a little bit. winds 145 miles per hour. we'll get it out of here have to watch it long thyme term for its eventual path the thinking it will emerge here off the southeast coast by early next week and wire hoping it stays tout sea at least one or two of the models trying to get it close to the eastern see bore by the middle and end of next week. okay. quickly 73 here in washington. we're in for nice day. we got to get the sun back out here. doing little bit of cloud cover and once we get that out of here we should be in for nice afternoon with daytime highs well into the 80s and look at the sunshine. next seven days it is not going to feel like fall. even though that starts on friday. and a gorgeous weekend but very warm weekend highs in the mid to upper 80s saturdaynd

we'll give you undate on maria at 10:00 o'clock. we should have new update by then. back to you steve. >> thanks for keeping us poeed that. our next guest a major league hall of famer one of the greatest all times certainly a philadelphia legend. the legendary mike schmidt phillies third baseman, 12 time all star, three time nlmvp award winner and number 16 on the list of all-time homerun hitters. the stats do not lie. as pro athlete he spent his fair share of time in the sun. in 2013, he got a curve ball he didn't expect. stage three melanoma. it's been a long battle with skin cancer for for mike schmidt. the slugger encouraging people to have a cancer game plan themselves. number 20 joining us live courtesy merck to talk about his personal journey the game plan if we're lucky baseball too. mike, great to see you. how you doing this morning? >> hey, steve. good morning. thaks for having me on. it's important subject for me right now and i appreciate

opportunity to communicate. >> what was it look for you, mike, after everything -- you have to feel invincible on the baseball field aside from a few over time. you're one much those players to be able to stick it out for that long and later in life off the field you get hit by this curve ball. >> yeah. it sure was. sometimes we athletes think it's never going to happen to us. we tend to think of terms of being invisible. i found out that i wasn't four years ago almost to the day late august last week in august in 2013 i got that call from my doctor that said a mole on my back look suspicious end biopsied said you have stage three melanoma. what a, you know, golly, an dark time in my live started at that point. a journey that i hoped that i'd never have to face, and this great company merck has a website now that i've teamed

journey over the four years. and i'm very proud of what we have on the website. your cancer game plan.com. and i look forward to helping people. >> well, mike i know you're being modest like many cancer patients out there you dealt with multiple surgeries. you dealt with radiation. you dealt with chemotherapy. i have to say mike you look great now. how are you now? >> i'm wonderful right now. my last scans -- my next set of scans are coming up in a couple of weeks. the last scans indicated that in all areas of my body where i had cancer now i don't have it. >> that's such great news. we have the information up right now. actually the website for your cancer game plan.com. but before we talk a little baseball, mike, what in a nutshell can you tell people to make sure that they get checked out because like so many times people tend to find out that they have cancer too late. >> yeah, that's for sure. in my case, i'm a perfect example a guy who

relationship with a dermatologist who i see probably ten to 12 times a year of course i may be a little different than the normal person, but i would advise anyone out there listening, watching right now, to find a dermatologist and go to them as often as you can. i think some people ought to see a dermatologist especially people that spend time in the sun at least three to four times a year. early detection is major when it comes to melanoma. other advice i would give, if you're facing this kind of a diagnosis, and this kind of a journey, is rely on the great medical team and speak with them, communicate with them, believe in them, talk to them, ask them questions about what might be in front of you. >> in my case again, which is also do you meaned on this website, family, friends and face faith were so key to me. i'll start with faith. faced that dark side all the time hey, you can die from cancer

and faith in that area. i leaned on my family, of co course, my wife is an angel. if it wasn't for her over the last four years i don't think i'd be here right now. she kept me positive, and friends, family, faith, doctors, that's all part of what i had over this team. that was basically my team, and i would -- i think everybody that goes to the website your caps sergei plan.com can see all this and gain from that information. >> so very very important. two quick baseball questions for you, mike. one, my co anchors and myself were just having this conversation with the homerun record being set last night for major league baseball. you hit over 500 yourself. you're kind of an expert here. better hitting or worse pitching in 2017 than it used to be? what's the reason for so many homeruns? >> sounds like both to me. there's some big young stars in the game right now including a young man reece hoskins in philly. he setting records every time he plays the game every time he hits a homerun he sets a new record. ta a

days out of prison as each attempts to reconnect with their loved ones and establish their independence but before next week's premier we're sitting down with someone who knows all too well about prison live. the show's producer and former prisoner himself chaka sangor. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> topic near and dear to your heart. why is it so important we see these images of men and women coming out and what they're truly facing? >> well, we live in country where we have over 2 million people incarcerated. families are really impacted by this in a real way and what we wanted to illustrate was that any time somebody is incar incarcerated not only are they incarcerated but their families are incarcerated as well we want to be able to show people how difficult it is for possible to transition back to society and try to navigate life after being gone away for so long. >> what do you mean their families are incarcerated as well. >> their families suffer from their incarceration. the ability to reconnect in real time. to try to parent. to be a support for those and women inside. it locks them up in cycle of helpss

out of prison and reconnecting. would you say you were successful in it? are you maybe a study how to do it successfully? >> yes, i was incarcerated for 19 years, and so when i came out, the world was a very different place and it was very difficult even though he was fortunate to have the skill sets to actually re-emerge in society, and so in my experience, i do think there are some key things that i was able to do but some key support systems that were in place which is really one of the things that you'll see with our docu series. >> the support which i keep hearing you say that's so crucial. you follow these men and women it's a 90 day journey for them. why 90 days? is there something about that three-month time frame? >> it's the most intense. it's the part of the process that people sometimes think is the end all, be all when it comes to getting out. but it's such a crucial part because it's at that point you have to really reconnect with your family, try to find employment, try to find housing, and try to deal with some of the

adjustments to just being free and making choices and like in that clip which is i think the most powerful, you know, here you have this man who is come home after 20 years and he's really just, you know, struggling with making decisions because he hasn't had to make that many decisions in two decades and i think it's really important for society to see that. >> is there a common thread in all of the people that you documented? >> there is a common thread. the common thread is really about family and support and communal support. you can really see how that helps them navigate through some of the dulty's they face whether it's employment, whether it's housing or whether it's just really reconnecting with their children and their families and their loved ones and so when you see what really works, which is having a real support system, taking some of those barriers out of place to employment you can see how people can get out and stay out but you also get a chance to see how so many people end up going back. >> what do you want people to take away from this film? >> what i want -- >> this dock key series i should say. >> what i want people to take
