more. the report says that several stations have problems. "washington post" article says the same problem that caused last month's fatal crash is widespread and many portions of track on four of the systems' five lines are failing to detect trains. a gross exaggeration of he facts say metro's top man. >> we are safe to operate and the reports you have are not true. >> reporter: the president of the union that represents metro's train operators agrees the system is safe but disagrees though big picture. >> he's not looking at the whole picture. i think something else is going on out there and because of information that we have received we know this is not an isolated incident. and i'd like for them to look in to it and let us all know

what is going on completely. >> reporter: many people who use metro have the same concerns. >> take the metro much. >> every day. >> how do you feel when you see a story like this? >> scary enthrall as individual citizens we have responsibility. >> one key piece of information that may clear up how accurate the story is the ntsb preliminary report on last month's fatal accident but there is no time line when that report will be released. armando trull for 9 news now and wusa9.com. president obama will look to the american people tonight for support in his bid to reform the nation's health care system. tens of millions of americans don't have health insurance and the president will speak about that at his primetime news conference. he wants congress to pass legislation by august that he but is facing tough opposition from democrats and republicans an ma many lawmakers feel they need more time and others feel

much as i would have to lay people off. >> reporter: $75 million will come by way of extra medicaid money from the feds. prince georges county council has approved a ten-day furlough plan for all county workers. they were included in the budget to close a $113 million budget gap. the plan was approved with amendments requiring a minimum of three furlough stays in -- days in first three quarters they will revisit the issue quarterly to see the full ten days are necessary. a private funeral for walter cronkite is planned for tomorrow in new york. plans are in the works for a memorial at the lincoln center. cronkite's last appearance was as a commentator. they worked on a weekly series and they are here with us now. thank you very much for being with us. when was walter cronkite's last

appearance on the show? what's the time frame we were talking about. >> about a year and a half ago now. he was the winner of -- winner of, december of 2008. >> your reaction to this passing of a legend in the business. >> it is definitely the passing of a legend. we have known it was coming. i'm friends with chip con cite, his son. we have been in contact an we knew it was a matter of days but it is a great loss and he was one of a kind. won't be another. >> absolutely. except for one cnn appearance, walter cronkite pretty much stayed off of our screens, our broadcast screens. what barometerred him to say yes when you asked him to be part of it? >> we had done an interview with him. an so he had really gotten to understand what our mission and the programming was and he was enthusiastic about that, as someone who retired earlier in

essence than he wanted to he liked the concept of the channel and the opportunity to shed his reporter's objectivity and really speak for five to seven minutes in an editor really about any issue that was important to him was very appealing. >> reporter: what was the subject of the first commentary. >> environment. >> what else did you have planned for him? >> we actually started the last piece we recorded was the first of three parts on the iraq war, and unfortunately he had gone off to vienna and had a fall and was injured and after that just never really had the energy or ability to continue with the series so we were never able to air the first piece on iraq. the first piece rltv has that

on the website and you can see it on www.rltv. >> he liked the mission of retirement television. did he ever talk about, as you say he retired at 65 where we could have enjoyed seeing and listening to him even longer. did he ever talk about leaving because i read when he was asked about his retirement he said the network was losing a lot. they were losing basically history. and what did he tell you about leaving? >> he never really looked at it as having left the business. just moved on from cbs and that platform. he was active after that. involved in a good number of documentaries. one that is produced as an emmy- award winning documentary and focused on his passions such as space. >> reporter: was he worried about where the news business

was going, infotainment rather than news mr. he spoke to that in one of the pieces we recorded. it was a real concern to him that people were tending to put their emotions and opinions in to the news. and it wasn't as impartial as he thought it should be and he felt the race to make the deadlines and be the first is so stiff that people don't do their home work and go forward with a story and apologize later. >> did they talk about the media using facebook or twitter in a responsible way. >> he did an editorial piece for the huffington post. so he embraced the internet. thank you very much. we have lost a great in our business.

great to have you with us. a banker heads to captiol hill to advise on the state of the economy. and millions enjoy a celestial event they may never see again. we'll be right back. b@

ben bernanke heads to the senate panel for a day of questioning on the economy. he told members of the house yesterday we. >> reporter: in the early

recovery stage and interest memes will be low for tiso cranizitd edic for failing to prevent the financial crisis. the number overmeek can immigrants who crossed the border dropped sharply last year to the lowest level in a decade. the census data points to the economic downturn to rising unemployment and the data shows undocumented workers, who are already in this u.s. are opting to stay and that the economy will improve. the longest solar eclipse in the 21st century put asia in to near darkness after dawn. many watched the once in a lifetime phenomena. in india a woman died after a stampede of people watching. and others closed their shutter an stayed inside due to superstition. dr. stone is a world renowned forensic scientist and discovery channel host and he is out with the new book "the

anatomy of evil." welcome to our show. >> thank you. >> you have a 22-level graduation of evil to define a range of serial killers. tell us about that scale. >> it is actually for murderers including serial killers. i began to work on that when i was called to be an expert witness in a murder case and i wanted to give the jury some idea of where a particular crime consisted of a man killing his wife and children sits in the grand scheme of violent crime and figured i would anchor it, it, it wassent justified homicide and the everyone is jealousy murder that everyone can understand but even though they are not supposed to do it. over end of

the scale and i made segments is number 22, where there was not only serial sexual homicide or at least homicide but particularly prolong and diabolical torture. to me that seemed as bad as it could get and that was the end point of the scale. >> we had the sniper shootings. where would that fall on your graduation of evil? where would they fall. >> 15 or 16. probably 15 is where i have other spree killers and 16 i use for multiple vicious acts including rape or murder. a little more in the way of violation and dig grow grace of the dame. this as i understand was just shooting from a distance so presumably we hold painless deaths of the victim so all within a couple week period.

and that is called a spree. different from mass murder but a bunch at once and different from serial killing. >> let's talk about serial killers. when we think of serial killers we think of ted bundy. what makes them different from everybody else? >> they are different because thermoty vatted to commit rape periodically. they seem, many of them, not all of them but many of them unable to form intimate relations with men and women and instead they stalk and rape and then kill their victims. sometimes they go to great lengths to dispose of the body in such of a way they won't be discovered so they can then be free to do the next. so that they are mass murderers. there is a sexual motif

sometimes because of a again netting or environmental factors interwoven so they are different in that way. >> you have picked out characteristics that are common with some of these, such as killing cats. what are some other things. >> well, killing cats, being and setting fires. that's famous killing animals, setting fires, prolonged bed wetting but many have been abused by, physically or verbally by parents or caretakers and then a small number, the prime factor seems to be a serious head injury that damage the front lobe in such a way as to damage their ability to feel compassion for people. >> fascinating research, doctor. we wish you luck with the book the agnatmy of evil. thank you for coming in to talk to us. >> now over to kim who has the latest weather update. >> thank you. here's our time lapse tower

cumberland. the moisture to the west and that's where it will be busy today. around here in and out of clouds. a little instable may breed a thunderstorm later, 87. 86 today. scattered thunderstorms tomorrow and kicking off the week. still a chance of a thunderstorm, partly cloudy and 87. let's get a closer look at this rain from pretty much nashville to kentucky central kentucky. cincinnati will be a wet flight there and soon to be knoxville, tennessee. around here we are in between the system in lane and the one across the ohio river valley. in here we will call it partly cloudy, and a slight chance of showers or storms and as the warm front moves north it will allow warmer air compared to yesterday. this means highs of 87 this afternoon. 82 new york city. 89 that raleigh. lows in the murky lower 70s. i will tell you the next seven days. here we go. tomorrow scattered

thunderstorms are likely 86. heading to the weekend we will crank it up a few degrees. 87 on friday. a partly sunny hot day on saturday, 92 and sunday looks like scattered storms and highs in the upper 80s. that's a check on the next seven. over to andrea. >> thank you, kim. when the courts say no cameras bill hency comes to the rescue. he's one of the most renown courtroom artists in the country and now he is out with a new book, all rise, courts, crimes and courtroom art. welcome. >> we are usually on the outside waiting for all the parties to come out for the cameras but you are inside, basically a real witness to history. does it feel like that when you are sitting in there. >> at times it does and that is what compelled me to do this and i'm used to being behind the cameras and producers. i put my drawings up to be seen. so this is a change for me to actually be out pushing my book, but it is something i

felt was important to write. >> reporter: why? >> well, just all the cases i have been to. it really struck me that i have been sort of a witness to history and at the same time i wanted my drawings to be seen for more than three to five seconds. so this really was an ideal situation. >> reporter: how long have you been doing this now? >> 27 years. >> 27 year and you put all of those photographs in one book. >> well, no. >> how did you decide which will go in and which will have to be left there? >> i picked what was historical, what, you know, caught the attention of the people in general but with media coverage. >> this definitely caught the world's attention. i never saw so many cameras and satellite trucks outside of a courtroom. was the lorena bobbitt trial. >> i tried to be broad in what i selected. it was getting to the edge of somewhat tabloid in coverage and you are right it brought

out all kinds of people, even people selling t-shirt on the steps of the courthouse. it was pretty wild. this is michael vick. >> that is michael vick. that was an incredible case to watch that shift from someone who who had such stature and such respect and not this particular sketch but one in the book of him as he entered the courtroom in prison stripe an i was struck by the superman tattoo on his right hand. and just to see that contrast. >> what's that differentiates you from the rest of us because you look for little things. maybe the hand movement or eyes or whatever to focus in on and make your pictures come alive. >> i look for those details. that's sort of my job, number one is provide the visual to tell the story but also as a journalist i started this as an artist and i have been trained

by journalists i have worked with and learned to, you know, look for those details and tell that story. >> exactly. there's also a section in the boand e thesbars and these may not be some of the most celebrated trials or heavily covered but some of the most interesting images. we see the woman in the short fur coat and the man on the lower left of the screen his pants are around his ankles. >> was a startling development. a lot of these are serious cases but bizarre things happen in court an you have to be ready for that an the defendant was asked to drop his pants in front of the jury but we were all struck at what was to come and the strategy by the defense attorney was the tattoos must have been visible by the victim and they hadn't identified them but the visual was startling. >> we have less than 30 seconds. are you on tour by the boom or in the courtroom as well. >> i'm at the national

historical society on july 29th for the official book launch and i hope people come to that and courtroom art.com is the site. >> we have a link on that. but you are not working in a courtroom. >> the benita jacks case has been going on and i have been covering some of that. but one day to the next i never know. that's the way it works. >> we put a link to that courtroom art.com on our website at wusa9.com. you can see more of bill hency's wonderful drawings. that is court crime and courtroom art. all rise. and thank you. >> thank you. an effort to ease traffic on a heavily traveled local corridor comes under the scrutiny of environmentalists and governor kaine is trying to make sure drunk driving d violaters can not escape prosecution. we'll be right back. carol!

welcome back. a live look at 270 at 118. plan to widen 270 is causing an outcry among environmentalists. the proposal calls for 30 miles of widening along with a new transit line but they say it would encourage sprawl and cause more traffic jams. virginia governor called a legislative session to respond to a supreme court ruling. as we told you often monday, some virginia prosecutors are choosing not to pursue cases against drunk driving or drug suspects because the high court ruled defendants have the right to question lab technicians as part of the right to confront their accuser. that's in direct conflict with virginia law. the session will be august

next time and show them. >> i get a little bummed out at first and then move on. >> just remember, you have an instrument so powerful you might move mountains. you hold on to that all the time. >> tell us about the two shows on jammin' java i understand they are opposites. >> the 7:00 show is seated an doing kind of what, playing acoustic guitar and telling more stories behind the songs and 10:00 show will bring out the full band and it is a totally different more rock 'n' roll type of experience. >> exactly the and full band is. >> the trance. >> for people who got tickets and i understand it was a sellout almost as soon as the box office opened you are putting a dent in world hunger. >> i went to the dc central kitchen a couple of months ago and started up a relationship with them and so they will be a the show and it is a nice combination to do something bigger than just a show.

>> reporter: if someone is just tuning in and they go shane hines, what does he play. you describe yourself as an indy rocker. what does that mean? >> you know, i'm not sure. just doing everything on our own. we are doing what we want. we don't have any label support or anything like that. we just make it happen. >> well, i have to say on one of the labels you even had fans help you to pay for the cd. >> absolutely. we did teen trance.com and asked fans to help us pay for the next record and raise $34,000. it is amazing. so humbling. >> and tv for you is the new radio. i understand the real world -- >> tv is much more open to independent artists. radio play lists are much smaller. so they are just willing to listen to you a little more than radio is. >> all right. you will not find a singer, song writer or group of musicians in the area.

>> put one on the grill, please. and just as you said, tell everybody at home why we want the fat in the burger. >> because it will do two things, prevent it from sticking on the grill, which is key and give you more of a mouth feel. and obviously you don't want too much fat because there are flames charring your burger. >> you salted it. >> salt it because it is a pretty thick patty but bare in mind when it is cooking the juice is washing off the fat, as well. so you want to season it. >> got it. >> now, to me i would think the cheese is key for your cheeseburger but you are saying it is up to the individual. >> some people like more of a sharp bite. >> this looks like a sharp cheese. >> it is. cheddar. >> from wisconsin. >> wisconsin.
