launched this miss hill at about 3 a.m. their time. that's roughly one in the afternoon here in d.c. preliminary information shows that this missile went about 6206 miles through the air, traveled for nearly up to an hour before it finally went down into the sea of japan. now, tonight the north american air space command says at no point did this missile pose any threat to north . however it's important to point out this launch comes nearly a week after the trump administration placed north korea on a list of state sponsors of ter rims. back at the white house tonight president trump dequlairg that this situation will be taken care of, he says. however, the president did not detail how. thank you very much. as you probably have heard and some of you have reported, a missile was launched a little while ago from north korea. i will only tell you that you will take care of it. we have general mattis in the room with us and

long discussion on it. it is a situation that we will handle. of course the overriding concern is here is that with each new missile launch north korea gets closer to what its possible goal may be and that is placing a nuclear war head on top of a missile that could possibly reach the us or its allies. this launch tonight marks a break of nearly two months. the last korean missile test was on september 15. >> it was mentioned president trump was on capital hill this afternoon to meet with republican leaders about the gop 's \tax\tacks reform plan. earlier in the day the president attacked disems on twitter so their leadership backed out of plans to meet with him as well. besides tax reform congress must also pass a deal to keep the government going or we could see another government shutdown. i would absolutely blame the democrats. if it happens it's going to be over illegals pouring into the country, crime

border wall, which everybody wants. i got elected partially because of a border wall. you look at military, we want strong funding for the military. they don't. so many things. you probably have heard and some of you have reported a missile was launched -- >> the president says both sides are far apart right now fupping for the federal government runs out december 8. another bill must be passed to avert a shutdown. the latest on the power struggle inside the consumer financial protection bureau. nick mulvaney sent out an e-mail to staffers said ignore any e-mails or instructions they get from lee english. lee evening lirn r establish has filed a suit against the trump administration . democrats say the president's decision to tap his budget chief as interim descrekor violates the law. this afternoon a protest outside the agent sism the con up ser financial protection bureau is not any agency. this is an

agency that the grass roots activists of america fought for, that the people of america demanded and that we will fight to protect every step of the way . massachusetts senator elizabeth warren joined in the protest today. she was one of the official backers to create the cfpb after the financial meltdown nearly a decade ago. donald trump and the congressional republicans want to make this all about politics but this isn't about politics, this is about what is fair. this agency has forced the biggest banks in this country to return more than 12 billion-dollar directly to people they cheated. by the way , the federal judge deciding who should be in charge happens to be a recent appointee of president trump. maryland lawmakers are trying to address metro bus and rail safety and to explore new ways to increase ridership by introducing a bill today. it is co-sponsored by anthony brown and jamb jamie raskin. it would

ability to flexion its with. it also hopes to increase ridership by offering flat fairs and fee transfers between bus and rail services. and it will create tbo safety task forces responsible for monitoring safety programs and training of metro employees. meanwhile a new metro policy will go into effect in january that may cause you some frustration if you ride metro and you don't carry any cash. one local leader is calling it a bad idea. another says the policy could save them some big money. it all has to do with your smart trip card. matt ackland live in tenly town to tell us more about this. >>reporter: hi, sarah, at this stand you can believe leave the metro station with a small negative balance on your card. basically you come the next time and you refill the card. metro is now doing away with that because they say they're losing money. but the one problem that's got so many frustrated is that there's only one way, cash,

station. it can happen to us all, your smart trip card runs out of cash. daily metro rider d.c. council member charles allen is included. i'm not walk ing around with a pocket of quarters to figure out how to get past the turn stievment allen isn't so upset about paying before you leave the station. he thinks it's ridiculous that metro will offer a cash only. it doesn't make any sense and it's going to lead to rider frustration and bad interactions for riders and for of that. heres he the issue starting in january you won't be able to leave the system with a negative balance. that's what these are for. this one in the courthouse in virginia it's been turned off. if you come around here to this machine in service, the problem here is if you didn't bring cash with you to work, well, there's no credit card machine here at all, so you're out of luck. but metro board chairman jack evans supports the

explained the cash only option is because metro doesn't have the ability to move a credit card machine from outside the gates inside. there's two reasons. we'd have to completely rewire it to bring a machine like that into that area and secondly there's not enough room. metro estimates it has lost $25 million in the past 17 years because of the negative balance policy. but some riders say before you change that policy, improve the way riders can pay. so what happens if you get off a train, you've just got no cash, a loft us don't carry cash. what do you do? once this policy is in place, what you're going to have to do is go to the station manager, ask the station manager to let you out to the machines that have credit card readers. then you've got to come back in, ask the station manager to let you come back in then you've got to take your card and swipe out. all of this because according to jack

they can't move these machines inside to make it more comfortable convenient. he says es. there's not enough room . he says it's too expensive one thing they did point out today, they're working on technology. possibly in the future you can use your phone, apple pay and other apps like that to actually pay your bill, but that's still a long ways away. live in tenly town tonight. legal trouble for metro. the arch dioceses of washington is now suing the transit agency after metro re jected their ad promoting a new initiative. why metro says it violates their guidelines. it was quite forceful. telling me to relax. i think then i started to like get a little bit confused. more bombshell allegations against harvey weinstein. a british actress accuses of him sex trafficking. the reason she says she stayed quietor

20 million americans did not properly secure their trees to their vehicles or perhaps it was too big to be on the vehicle. so just remember to properly secure it. this can cause apparently up to $1,500 worth of damage and be a hazard to other drivers if that tree goes flying from your car like a missile. christmas are best tied on top of a vehicle with a roof rack with the tree trunk pointing towards the front. drivers can face hefty fines even jail time if a tree falls off the vehicle in virginia fines can be up to $2,500 or 12-month jail station and in d.c., fines can range up to $500. i guess it depends on the damage. that's why i like bringing mine up from storage. >> saul small business saturday and cyber monday and

on the steps of the supreme court. let's take a look at the details of the case. it all starts with paul summers. he was an employee at digital realty trust acknowledge he felt that he witnessed wrongdoing in the company's recordkeeping and decided to report it internally rather than going to the sec. that fact that he reported this issue internally and not to the sec that is the crux of the case . now, many might ask the question about dod frank. dod frank and the consumer protection act, they explicitly protect whistleblowers who go to the sec from being fired. the issue at hand is whether or not it also protects those who choose to sound the alarm internally. now, this case will affect every ation pect of whistleblowers in the private sector. interestingly enough, the obamaed administration addressed this issue and expanded protections for federal

one example in particular, it go es to glenn schwartz, a civilian whistleblower at the may have i's fleet readiness center east. he reported what he believed to be unsafe handling of jet full back in 2015. two years later he was fired and he believes that it was because he was a whistle l blower. the navy is agently now under investigation for his firing and schwartz has been reinstated to his position until the investigation is complete. now that all being said schwartz ' attorney sherri canon she believes that no matter what protections are in place, whether it's federal -- for a federal employee or in the private sector, if you are a whistle blower you are putting your job at risk. take a listen . you're always putting your job at risk no matter what and you're also putting your money and your family's lives, their livelihood in jeopardy. i xiamora legals into what

sea seeing day with the sexual harassment issues. people are very reluctant to race issues out of fear. there are laws in place to protect these people but they're of little solace if you don't feel you're backed up by your management. the attorney there drawing comparisons that you may have been thinking about to so. sexual harassment claims anal gas stations that we have seen come to late and the fears that those women may have felt before bringing attention to it. weigh in, let us know what you think about this and even if the laws are in place do you feel that your job is really protected. you know where to find me on facebook and twitter and i love to hear from you. reporting live at the supreme court, ronica cleary, fox5 local news. thank you, ronica. when it comes to working in corporate america how can a whistleblower protect themselves at the

? attorney nick could he berries here to break down what rights employees and how a whistleblower can protect themselves from retaliation. explain how i guess important it is that whistleblowers feel that they are protected and the types of things they can really help bring light to. >> absolutely. just think of a whistleblower, we're always talk ing about draining the swamp , illegal, unlawful activities that are going on in place in terms of the government , in workplaces and so these whistleblowers are really tools to drain the swamp. they're methods and people that say i'm seeing something that i really think in a reasonable way is not right and so i want to be a voice to protect the under dog . and of course the biggest concern is that person is how do i protect myself? how do i make sure i don't lose my job in the

whistleblower needs to know? what rights do they have? >> you do have a right to speak out and talk about something that you reasonably believe is illegal without your job security being threatened. that being said there's always a risk when you're doing something against people of authority, institution ts and companies that they will use your security , your job position as a threat for you to be quiet. so it's ultimately a personal quhois as to whether you you want to go on the line because value system is that i'm seeing something wrong and i'm going to have more faith than fear and go forward and report. so what are some of the tips? i know we have -- if we could put them up on the screen here just something that whistleblowers need to know. the first is know what conduct is protected. >> really quickie not all report ing is protected. so you have to have a reasonable belief that it's illegal. so you can't

make -- they want to make you wear blew to work today. you can't report that just because you don't like it. it has to have some illegal galt component ing to? are you reporting internally or externally, various laws, whether they're federal or state or internal will flesh that out for you. no your statue of limitations, too just like my mother says, don't miss a beat. don't sleep on your rights basically. do a little research, see if you have 30 days or 180 days, find the law. find the statute of limitations and make sure you move forward with aance s of urgency. >> okay. also keep a paper trail. that's the big thing, right? >> absolutely, taking notes. in the law when you take contemporaneous notes those are more reliable versus you waiting three, six months or years and saying, hey, let me jog my memory about

taking notes, those can be used as evidence, but also knowing in your take it whether you can tape record unilateral conversations, maryland you can't. but in other states you can. so those are other ways that you can recount the illegal or suspected unlawful behavior. another thick thing, don't give your employer an excuse to fire you you. this is so important, sarah, because the main thing is you you want to be an employee in good standing. you want to be a person of credibility so you can't, you know, be late for work all the time. and then say , owe, my employer is doing something and reporting it wrong . if they have a reason to fire you other than your report ing their illegal deeds for your misconduct or your bad performance they are lawfully allow to do that. >> absolutely. >> you got to be on your toes. >> absolutely. >> don't do that because you for go your claim to say you were retaliated against if you quit. i do say that sometimes

employee can make it a bit unbearable if you have reported internally. that being said try to hang on, do your best job possible and then you don't have as high of a burden to not only prove that they were wrong but that you you were in the right. nick covert thank you so much for coming in and shedding light on these legal issues, so important for whistleblowers out there. >> thank you for having me. air b and bf finally sold one of the biggest hassle of traveling with friends. it's supposed to make group trips much easier. we'll break that down to you. kate middleton reacts to the big news . what she has to say about her brother-in-law's new bride. can i make a prediction. >> dil i dil i. >> there's nothing not to like that's for sure. we've got a beautiful day. obviously we had a beautiful day today a lovely evening ahead and a do over for wednesday. what is the rest of this week looking like
