on the installation side which we coordinate with cal fire and the navy we have annual exercise and we hit that every springtime prior to the fire season. i think what's also, it's important to remember that although it was stressed, the military members are members of the community as well so let's not forget that as far as active duty. although we're transient in nature, sometimes we're in deployment, many of us are home owners and we live in that community. we are part of that community as well. just like the guard, we have an interest in protecting our friends and neighbors. sustainment is, it's important to us and we'll maintain it especially on the region side. we're able to have these long-standing relationships while the operating force side goes forward and supports the on-going efforts, we are able to stay back here and sustain those relationships. >> just to follow on that, the navy squadrons that provide fire fighting capability are a combination of active and reserve components. one benefit of reserve components is more longevity is pilots in the squadrons. you may have pe

and that that navy would be charged with maintaining the freedom of those sea lanes. we had, of course, to be concerned as to whether there would be a challenge for that. we observed that the rise and shine has more energy needs for more energy than they can produce themselves, and to maintain the economic growth which they believe is essential. we observed that the south china sea is a potential source of energy supplies for china and that there is a contention among the nations in that region as to where the ownership and rights of access are to the south china sea. and this is conceivable that china might seek to reestablish its claim there by military coercion and that could lead them into a confrontation with the united states' desire to maintain free access. the best way of avoiding that military conflict is what we should see because the military conflict with china would be catastrophic for both nations, indeed for the whole region. so, we want to avoid that. i believe the best way of avoiding that is by maintaining a -- continuing to maintain a strong naval pr

the army and navy have their bar fights. i did not see this as being a game, or a community. supporting each other, this may have been in a negative way. i did not have a stable household. many of them do not of their fathers are, where their father is dead. in their return, the block i gave up -- this is who i looked up to. he had a notorious reputation. there was the violence and in return, we had the pros and cons for that. a lot of people would mess with me because of who my father was -- to my brother was. they became my enemies. it was not a choice. this is just how was. let's go get him. and it comes to the place, you get tired of running. i did not see this as being wrong. what people defined as a gang, that must be a gang member right there. i have tattoos on my arm and neck and hand, and none of them are getting associated. they all tell personal story in my life. somebody would say that this is a gang member. there would be the artistic side. i think that this comes to a place where there has to be a level of understanding. they have the school system and the polit

and its 38 stores, will become part of gap's portfolio of brands, which include banana republic and old navy. does this latest acquisition make sense for gap? erika miller reports. >> reporter: at first it may seem strange that gap bought a chain selling designer clothing for women. until you realize that one of major reasons gap is struggling is lack of a fashion edge. remember the '90s? gap was a megabrand, defining fashion with its khakis, denim, tees and button down shirts. but as the millennium turned, so did gap's u.s. sales. the retailer has steadily lost ground to rivals like h&m and zara. >> the fast fashion retailers have really markedly changed the face of fashion as we know it. kids, teens, adults no longer want to wear an identifiable uniform. you are not going to see as many logo-driven items any more. >> reporter: in the past year, gap has made some bold changes, shaking up its management team, and putting more emphasis on fashion. that's where intermix comes in. the chain sells designer labels like jimmy choo, mulberry, yves saint laurent, fendi, and rag and bone. analyst oli

fire powered down a section of the track between the anacostia and navy yard stations. two packed trains came to a stop inside the tunnel. passengers say metro failed at keeping them updated on the situation. >> people couldn't breathe, that was the main thing. they were trying to open the doors. main thing for me, no safety measures were given, no information was given to help people in panic situations. they couldn't breathe. we couldn't breathe. >> metro officers were tied up trying to get people out of tunnel who ditched the trains. that meant a lack of help directing passengers on to shuttle buses outside the navy yard station. >>> a metro bus is now out of commission after becoming the scene of a stabbing. a rider stabbed a man twice in the chest. the attacker jumped off the bus as it approached 11th and h streets. rescuers took the victim to the hospital. we're told he should be okay. police do not know if the attacker knew the victim or if the stabbing was random. >>> we are learning new information overnight from that chain-reaction beltway crash. an arm of a p

, the cno, jonathan greener, and the entire navy leadership team e remain steadfastly committed to getting in front of this problem b and eliminating sexual assault from our ranks. for our part, the jag corps is actively engaged in training, prevention efforts, victim response and accountability initiatives. again, thank you for this opportunity, and i look forward to your questions. >> thank you, admiral. general chipman? >> thank you. chairman, members of the commission, on behalf of army secretary john mcewen, chief of staff, general ray odierno, thank you for the opportunity. sexual assault, as you know, is not just a military problem, it's a nationwide problem. one of the most difficult crimes to prosecute anywhere, sexual assault effects every sector of our society. the army, it destroys unit cohesion and morale and can devastate the lives of victims. it undercuts the trust that is so critical to mission accomplishment. leadership is the key to change, but accountability in our ranks remains critical in creating a command climate in which victims feel

and public safety. it's just a great addition to the already exciting opportunity to see the navy and our armed forces at work. some of you may be wondering exactly why am i here, what's a ranger doing up here during fleet week. i'll try to explain that a little bit. this is our 40th anniversary of having a national park in san francisco. so, those strikev lands at the golden gate hills right behind that helicopter there are now part of the golden gate national parks. and that happened 40 years ago when the army decided that those lands were no longer necessary for national defense. so, that strategic entrance to this harbor was the last land that our troops and sailors and marines and soldiers would see if they departed for the pacific theater in world war ii and korea and vietnam, and also the first thing they would see upon returning back to the bay area. so, between the presidio and the head lands, we now have wonderful park lands that have been converted. we call it converting from post to park. repurposing those lands from national defense to environmental defense. and i believe it is probably the

"i was unaware you suffered from any lingering injuries. i am truly sorry for the incident and even sorrier

that left two trains stopped for hours between the anacostia and navy yard stations. some people got off and tried to walk. eventually the trains made it to the stations but you can see the chaos as people tried to board shuttle buses. metro says that this incident points to the system problems that need to be improved. >>> we have new information coming into the news4 newsroom about the chain reaction crash on the beltway. the fire department released this picture of 30-year-old lieutenant ryan emmons. he was seriously injured in that crash. doctors say he is improving this morning after they reattached his arm. police say a fire truck was trying to make a u-turn on the beltway when a tractor trailer rear ended it. a jeep was also involved in that crash. the driver and passenger in the jeep and driver of the tractor trailer remain in the hospital this morning. no word on their conditions. three firefighters were treated and released. >>> we have some breaking news. we are following two breaking news stories. shooting outside of a courthouse in kaufmann county, texas.
