♪ what did we learn on the show tonight, craig? ♪ you know he does that thing with george hamiltonsters? craig: have you learn anything in scotland since you have been here? geoff: quite a bit. i've picked up a bunch of interesting phrases. craig: ok. try me. geoff: like your bum's out the window. craig: that means your bottom or derriere is out of the window. it means you are mistaken. geoff: oh, i see. craig: so if a scottish person says your

bum's at the window, it means you're mistaken. geoff: it might help if they just say you're mistaken. craig: they say that too. sometimes they will act out the mistakenness by putting their actual bottoms out of the window. geoff: when they do that, you know you made a mistake. craig: or maybe not. still got it. captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org--

judge has ordered the charges tossed out because of an alleged misconduct by prince william county commonwealth attorney. in court yesterday special prosecutor said after reading every word of the case he believes the federal judge got it wrong. >> judge jackson's order in our opinion is the correct order and we believe that when everything is flushed out that it should remain. >> reporter: in manassas, peggy fox, 9news. >> the murder for hire conviction and death sentences were thrown out, but prosecutors are hoping to retry him. a plea bargain is expected tomorrow in the case of the former corrections officer accused of ignoring a dying inmate. ronnie white was that inmate accused of killing a police officer dying behind bars. his death was ruled a homicide. corrections officers insist white killed himself. class, recess, homework, all now a part of the healing process for the kids from connecticut's sandy hook elementary. today those students were back

trading and collecting with the other predators. >> reporter: women are increasingly the abusers, like this one dubbed jane doe. she and this man allegedly arrested a young teenage girl and distributed photos of the abuse. the woman has distinctive tattoos. >> and we are talking about the sexual abuse, the rape, the molestation of the young children that have no way of speaking up for themselves. tonight the nation has a new congress that faces a lot of the same old issues. the 113th congress has now been sworn in. we caught up with virginia's new junior senator democrat tim cain, a former governor who now has to use his legislative skills. >> i kind of described it to myself as a governor and an executive job and an expertise job. i focus on a couple of passions

making the streets and the committees, the armed services, the passions of mine as well. i'm going to dig in to try to make a difference in those areas. >> reporter: but first, they will need to deal with issues that will be left over from the last term that include a super storm sandy relief bill. and a big measure to limit the nation's debt ceiling. by the way today they were reelected as speaker of the house, despite their own party that grew out of the fight. critics call them a megomaniac. now you might think that the anti-tax crew saider -- crusader would be lying low. but bruce leshan reports that they are keeping anything, but quiet. >> no, i'm disappointed that we were not able to continue all

the 2001 to 2003 tax cuts. >> reporter: the days are filled with the media interviews and he is putting his best spin. on the first republican vote to raise taxes in 22 years. >> they were scheduled to go higher if congress had not acted. they were scheduled to go higher than everybody. >> reporter: they have all signed their pledge, never to raise tax rates on anyone as he insists the new year's day vote, they did not break that promise. >> on december 31 they would have broken that pledge. about that, i think we'll send the next two years focused on, you know, the obama white house in the fight on spending. >> so you think that you're going to win the next route?

>> yeah on spending. >> reporter: it is one, two, three. the budget and then the debt ceiling. all grounds that play to the gop. >> when the president says that he will not negotiate over the debt ceiling that this is money that congress has already spent. pay your bills. is the gop really willing to shoot america's credit rating in the end? >> well is he willing to damage our credit rating to keep spending money that he doesn't have? >> it is a fight that has been going on since the presidency. and they plan to keep fighting. >> one democrat wrote in the newspaper today that when they voted to raise taxes, it rendered their anti-tax pledge. new tonight at 11:00, a maryland woman vacationing in

restaurants. >> yes. and all right we will talk about the temperatures here tomorrow morning. and a little bit below average. but remember that the average highs in the lower 40s. nothing too cold. it will be clear, 30 by 7:00 and then @ to 36 by 9:00. much more sunshine tomorrow, but we need to add the winds and the windchills. we'll take a look ahead for yo

problem again. at the restaurant here in articlington boulevard. when i asked to speak to their licensed food sanitation manager. the way stress said he wouldn't be in for a couple of hours. we said we would wait and wait and wait and enough time for them to facebook that we were waiting. and then tweet that we were waiting. then the worker is licensed. >> your employee told me that there is no food safety duties? >> reporter: they just shot that time down, the problem is that you were not here when the health department came either. so you have a history of not being here? >> he told us he was on his way. that they also cited the restaurant for dirty slicers, mixers, cutting boards, and ice

bins. >> i've been waiting nearly an hour for you. >> reporter: he acted like there was not a health department closure. >> you're not aware of that? >> he asked us to wait for the owner as we did. >> that's why i'm asking. we want to see if it is clean. in china town, they cited new big wong on 8th street northwest. for mice droppings and 12 other violations including contamination control, dirty food, food in unsafe temperatures and the dirty fish tanks in the dining room and kitchen. >> i was surprised because the food theys so good. >> reporter: he doesn't want to talk to us as he will not allow us inside the kitchen to see if they cleaned up. unaware of the recent views and another closure two years ago
