a beautiful friday around here. if you can make a long weekend and got today off you scored big. weather-wise. couple of how clouds off to the south. that's it. clear skies though with dry air. lighter winds. that's allowing. thes to cool into the lower 40s in frederick at 42. winchester 41. martinsburg 42. even manassas and la plata in the mid 40s. but today these high temperatures bottle them up and keep them around. temperatures in the mid 70s. 6:00 a.m. monika samtani a good looking friday weather-wise. thank goodness we have that going for us because we've had very busy morning from the traffic and we've set up this map for you telling you about the water main break for a good hour or so in rosslyn. and i got my phone in my hand because i've been texting with metro pio, public information officer dan and he tells me within the last 60 seconds actually an update. it sound like streets are starting to reopen now. north moore street just reopened. and fort meyer drive is

expected to reopen shortly. it was in and around this area around metro rosslyn metro station remains open. you may find some street closure, around the metro which means you will have to walk to a different entrance but again things are beginning to improve. the break for the last hour or so was affecting roads in rosslyn. we of course are keeping you posted and i'm texting with dan to keep you posted on the situation. outside live in rosslyn and again things look pretty good here at lee highway and lynn street. i'm going to step out and show you a live picture out in bowie and this is from our sky 9. this accident happened overnight. three cars very serious accident. on route 197 at route 50. work continues here you want to use route 3 as the alternate route. again route 197 north of route 50 serious overnight accident with investigation and clean-up continuing. coming up in my next report, an update once again at 6:11. back to you guys.

thank you. today the g-8 economic summit gets underway at camp david, maryland. >> it is indeed. protestors are expected by the thousands and they're being sent to baker park in frederick. that's where delia goncalves is live this morning. checking on how they're moving in. good morning delia. >> reporter: good morning mike. you know police are sure hoping that the protestors will stay here at baker park because this is the only area where they're permitted to rally in town. and as you think see now that the sun has come out that's a fairly large park and police are hoping there will be plenty of room here for the thousands of protestors who are expected to be here in town. the g-8 summit is being held 20 miles away and the two parks closest to camp david have been closed to the public. the neighboring towns are bracing themselves for huge crowds and police are getting extra help from eight different police agencies throughout maryland including some from some of the local universities.

but getting to this day has not been easy. >> most cities that get notified about an event lightning this get two years planning time. we've had actually eight weeks. it's really, really been a hard assignment. a tough assignment. this is unlike anything we've ever seen in frederick county. >> it is a lot of protestors down here. and you know you just don't know who's who. >> we do have plywood in case we get a broken window. >> reporter: well, listen to that that's from some business owners who are actually bracing themselves for potential violence from some of these protestors. however, there's no indication that there will be any outbreaks of violence or any riots of any kind but they are bracing themselves for the worst. some trash cans have been chained down because some fear they could be potential weapons if things get out of hand. but some say it's probably a good thing that the summit is coming to the area. how the summit could be good

for the economic condition here in town. mike, back to you. >> that's right delia. some of them hoping to make a lot of sales. okay, now, the g-8 summit obviously this is something that happens on a regular basis. jessica doyle joins us now to tell us what's actually going to happen at camp david this weekend. >> what we're looking at is really the mini version of camp david every single year. we have a lot of international leaders gathering and countries meeting there include canada, france, germany, italy, japan, russia, the uk of course the united states is hosting. also representatives of the european commission. all of the long-term development projects, those are off the table for this one. short-term problems are the focus like how to solve the immediate problem of the european financial crisis. >> when they all get together there's somebody new at the table this time. >> we have the new president of france. his name is francois hollande. talk about the circumstances --

>> totally different right? because he's a socialist. >> they're basically like hi, nice to meet you. we need you to abandon your campaign promises. that got you elected. g-8 leaders are expected to pressure hollande to reconsider the austerity measures he ran for in france. maybe some arm twisting with holland and angela merkel. he is prostimulus, prospending, government spending money. not a lot of it to go around right now but that's what he wants to do. she's actually calling the shots on austerity measures to get the debt crisis under control. really two different sides. >> we have a new french president and it's ann election year in the united states. is anybody going to commit to major changes? >> i would say expectations are very low mike. the white house doesn't have a lot of fresh money to throw at the problem. europe has a lot of problems here. but at least the discussions are starting yet again. they're starting from ground

zero but they're starting and the white house of course can be a mediator between america merkel and hollande. harry thomas jr. has about one more month before he has to report to prison. our bruce johnson reports thomas will serve his time in the federal prison camp in montgomery, alabama. and thomas must report there by june 20th. he resigned from office and then pleaded guilty to corruption charges. he admitted to stealing $350,000 in city money meant for youth programs. there is a way to make someone else take the blame if you get a red light or speed camera ticket in the district. but maybe not for long. a d.c. council committee wants to get rid of the blame game. right now the someone else was using your car and got caught, you can provide the city with their name and address. shifting the liability. city leaders say it's too often

used to delay the collection process and it needs to end. it wasn't me. >> yeah. 6:06. we have a commuter alert a heads-up for metro this weekend. changes and it will affect how quickly you can get places, at 10:00 tonight there will be in service on the orange line between east falls church and west fall church in virginia. and it is going to last through sunday night. now shuttle buss will get you around this closure but add 20 minutes to your travel time to get there on time. now to the green line trains are going to be singing tracking between greenbelt and prince george's county plaza. only add 10 to 15 minutes to get through that. and because of the work the yellow line trains will terminate at mount vernon square. single tracking on the red line, expect delays between takoma and forest glenn. tack on 20 minutes for that situation. watch out for extra people on two wheels today. if you're driving to work. it is annual bike to workday.

you're encouraged to ditch the car and last year one-third of the people was bike commuters. there will be dozens of pit stops set up to grab a drink and even win some prizes. howard says we couldn't ask for better weather to ride or bike to work today. your weather first is coming up next. >> and in five minutes back live to joint based andrews. a preview of this weekend's huge joint service open house and air show. we'll be right back. >> but first we remember the queen of disco. donna summer died yesterday after a fight against lung cancer. she was 63. the boston native won five grammy's for her songs during the disco era. her hits and this one "last dance." she performed this song in 2009 at the nobel peace prize concert in honor of president obama. the president issued a statement yesterday calling her a legend saying her voice was unforgettable. ♪

identified as black. 35.3% identified as white. and that's the highest percentage sense the 1960s. the census reports -- reports 40,000 black residents have left the district over the last 12 years. d.c. police are investigating a burglary at the georgetown home of supreme court justice steven breyer. they will only say it was a break-in that happened two weeks ago. a spoke man says no court related documents were taken in this. his housekeeper discovered the burglary. in early february, breyer and his wife and a guest were also robbed at their vacation home in the caribbean. jess? thank you mike. i am watching your money and also watching the facebook ipo this morning. shares will trade on the nasdaq for the first time today. they are expected to pop. but not everybody is convinced that facebook is changing the world as we know it. joining us now to talk facebook is marketing expert georgetown professor and author of the new

book "like economics" that's a long business card. the truth and debates often times lies in the middle. on one side this is the fort of social change in the world today. on the other side we have the new poll that came out this week that shows that half of americans think that nook is a fad. -- facebook is a fad. where do you stand on this debate? >> facebook is a utility for us, it's a thing we turn on in the morning and whether you're a social media convert or just somebody who logs on to facebook to see friends and families' photos it's something we've gotten use toed. it's a lot more than a fad. >> so it is part of our every day lives. and you know, there's been a lot of hype and enthusiasm about this ipo. you ask a really good question in your marketing blog. why should we care about this thing? why do we care? what's the answer? >> i think all of us have a personal relationship with facebook in some way. either we've actively chosen not to go on it in which case at least we have this

relationship and we've made that choice or we use its all the time. but we have some skin in the fame and the idea is because of that we care. >> you look at it like a public utility. tell us about that view. >> it's sort of become that because hey first of all it's free. and second of all, we sort of expected it to always be there. and you know a lot of ways it connects us with people who we don't really have any other connection to. i mean i guarantee you a lot of people out there have facebook friends that they don't have their phone numbers. they don't have their e-mail address. only them on facebook. it's sort of the only way to connect with certain people. >> facebook is going through the transition now from the start up culture to the public big company. how's that going to change the company? terms of what users can expect? >> i think there's a lot of discussion about how facebook monotizing. are they going to charge me? i think facebook has been really good in the past about being patient with what they do. i mean they roll out changes

but they take their time doing it and eventually people say this is great. i love it. there is nothing to panic about today. i think some changes might come up but i think that charging people to use facebook is pretty low on the list of things that we should expect. >> well we're going to have to leave it there with that good piece of news. not be charged for facebook use anytime soon. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> we're going to be back shortly with more traffic and weather. keep it here.
