the nih has said a vaccine could be ready by next september. there is a lot of money to go for that. there is also a lot of money toward mosquito control, trying to help state and local governments put their teams out there to try to make the likelihood of people getting infected from this disease lower by actually getting rid of the number of mosquitoes in those areas. it's a conflict hated effort that requires a lot of money. there's also fund -- complicated effort that requires a lot of money. there is also funding for research. this is a disease people don't know a lot about. the federal government doesn't know a lot about it already. the outreach and research components are very important. reports on faris research issues for the hell. -- on reports on legislative issues for the hill. thank you for joining us. on the next washington journal, homicide rates are on the rise. and joseph lawler looks at the puerto rico debt relief introduced in the house this week. washington journalist live at 7:00 a.m. eastern on c-span. >> this sunday night

good work that has been done by the department of health and human services by the cdc and in -- and nih, we have a plan over the next several months to begin developing a vaccine and continually improve our diagnostic tests. we are also working with all of the states so they are properly prepared if we start seeing an outbreak in the continental united states during the summer when obviously mosquitoes are more active. what we are also trying to do is develop new tools for vector control. meaning, how do we kill mosquitoes and reduce their populations, particularly this kind of mosquito. that is a tricky business. we have been using insecticides for a long time that have become less and less effective. this strain of mosquitoes has become resistant to the insecticide that we have. the methods we use are not as effective as they used to be. we are investing time, research, and logistical support to local communities to start improving our ability to control mosquitoes. puerto rico and to some of the territories, and spending time working with the states that they can be better prepared.

the congressional investigators say the nfl stripped the nih of $16 million from the grant because theyove of one prominent brain expert on the study. robert stern. he openly criticized the league in the past over handling of the issue. they wanted their own brain injury to oversee the project instead. the nfl denies trying to influence the government study. >>> nba conference finals in toronto. raptors rejecting the cavs. third quarter, kevin love gets smacked and saying no, no, no. it is not easy winning in toronto. raptors kay game four, 105-99. series tied at 2-2. game five tomorrow in cleveland. the western conference finals tip-off at 9:00. the warriors are down 2-1 to the okc thunder. >>> if you didn't know, how you know. east sports are here to stay. the e-league kicks off. teams from around the world will use precision, timing, strategy and lightning quick hand/eye coordination in a game called counter strike. they are going for the prize of $1.2 million. this is a time lapse video of the arena where the players compete. i was there yesterday. at turner studios in atlanta. it w

to get a full briefing from secretary burwell, cdc and director friedman as well as tony fauci from nih about the zika situation and i want to give the american people a quick update on where we are. as has been explained repeatedly but i want to emphasize, zika is not like ebola. this is not a human to human transmission with one exception to talk about. it's primarily transmitted through mosquitoes. any particular type of mosquito. but what we do know is that if you contract the zika, even if you don't appear to have any symptoms, it is possible for zika to cause significant birthday facts, including microcephaly, we are those gold casing is -- ahead of the if it is significantly smaller. we think there may be other neurological disorders the art because of the consequence of zika, and we don't know all of the potential effects. we do know that they are serious. right now we seem is little over 500 cases of the zika in the continental united states, and all appeared to be travel related, not mosquito transmitted. meaning somebody from the u.s. went down to an area that has zika, got a

legislation out of the energy and commerce committee and former congressman henry waxman admitted the nih bill on the floor to make clear that profiting from the sale of baby body parts was a crime. folks, these two democrat leaders took the oath and so seriously that they may profiting from the sale of fetal tissue punishable by a 10 year felony. they understood that unborn children do indeed have constitutional rights. there's been a lot of heated debate about the horrible videos that came out last year, at today's hearing will present business documents invoices, marketing brochures and management documents that reveal that one for-profit procurement business and several abortion clinics may have violated the intent of the statute. and the blacks than prohibition passed overwhelmingly by a democrat controlled house. we've invited former u.s. attorneys and others to help us understand is conduct in light of the existing statute. we look forward to working through this material in a thoughtful way, and asked my colleagues on the other side to join in a productive discussion about the sta

we need more platforms, and the international paint space station we work through the nih. the human immune system. we don't understand understand it. it goes through changes when you go into the those parts. we have learned a lot over the 30 or 40 years humans have been fine. we just finish the first ever genomics. scott kelly on orbit and mark back here, identical, identical twins. we will get more knowledge from the twin study then people ever thought was imaginable. we have the ability to do this as a nation but we have to respond and provide the demand. we have to put more platforms out there. if you want to be a pharmaceutical a pharmaceutical developer put a platform in space where you can send those pharmaceuticals. astronauts are horrible when you start micro processing and materials processing because we have to exercise and every time we get on a treadmill, bicycle or something, you don't know abut the vehicle starts to shake. that just drives the material processors at berserk. kids now you're berserk. kids now you're taking it from being in space and you have a

before pulling it funds willing when the nih forwarded those attempts. the nfl pulled its 16 million dollar contribution to the study because they were dis pleased with the doctors select today head that investigation. next up, lbj, labron james offered to pay the fine his teammate dante jones for hitting raptor center, in the groin, during saturday's game. just 08 dollars, while that amount is small, jones apparently appreciative of the sentiment calling james a quote great guy. sick kids at new zealand hospital are getting a a special treat from kiwi air brush artist benjamin lloyd uses his air brushes to create epic custom tattoos to brighten kit. >> that is awesome. i love that. >> see why that's trending. coming up on fox fuse morning, maryland preparing to start it click it or ticket campaign, with allowed bang. >> and ready or not, summer is almost here. well, unofficially at least. oh, that looks good. as we head to break, live look across the dc region. do you see it? that is the sun. what? old friend where have you been in we've missed you. tim

there were no women studies in the nih from studies, no women. it is all based on men.here were no child health insurance programs available at the federal level. you could go on and on. no family medical leave. those are all to be incredibly important areas that had been neglected until you had that cohort of women realizing we know how important this is, let's act on it. >> we didn't talk about this earlier but these days it is the presidential race because it is the hardest glass ceiling to break and it's interesting there's less than 5% of the ceos are women and i guess only six governors come as it's a 12% of the governors ended up 18% are mayors 17 or 18%. so that is particularly for a reason. earlier on we were talking about the senate. .. >> >> you have to want to be tough but also be likable and that is not easy. and to go across the viewer threshold so it is also hard for hillary to embody this the last few weeks so how would you show passion? and all people hillary -- are here are screaming. and people cringe. and just like bernie sanders two's yelled give me

that's why the schools are on lock dourn a lockdown and the nih is on lockdown status as well. >> we don't know if he knows any of these people who he has shot today, if in fact it is the same gentleman who shot his estranged wife yesterday. don't mean to call him a gentleman that's accused of these crimes. same man that may have shot all of these people. rod, stand by. we'll continue to follow this breaking story that's happening for you today out of maryland. >>> meantime, we'll also try to get in some politics because a lot is going on. president obama addressing reporters at the white house a short time ago in the wake of disappointing new job numbers. that's going to show that the u.s. is hiring at a seven-month low. president once again calling on congress to take action by closing tax loopholes and raising the minimum wage. but he opened the floor to questions, the topic kept turning to donald trump. . president encouraging the american public to examine the presumptive nominee's record, adding that running for president "is not a reality show." >>> leland vitter reporting liv

they would all set those funds with cuts to the nih and moving more money over from the existing ebola >> seth: moving money away from ebola. poor ebola, used to be the hot new thing, now it's being pushed to the side by zika. [ light laughter ] basically ebola is the bieber to zika's one direction. or of course as the kids call it 1-z. [ light laughter ] so republicans have essentially paralyzed the government. they can't even perform basic constitutional functions to respond to public health emergencies. and maybe the worst is republican obstruction has become completely normalized, no one even questions it anymore. the only time congress ever gets covered on cable news is when it involves donald trump meeting with house speaker paul ryan. not only did cable devote wall-to-wall coverage to the meeting, they thought we cared what the buildings and cars looked like. >> just hours away, the highly donald trump and house speaker paul ryan. >> all eyes on that building, the rnc headquarters on capitol hill right there. >> there's the suv brigade pulling out from capitol hill moments ago.

so we are have to get moving, what the nih and cdc is doing is to take the funds from the universal fluget the thing rolling, but we have to reimburse those pots of money depleted and we have to have to be able to the sustain the work to finish the job. so bottom line is that congress needs to get me a bill. it needs to get me a bill that has sufficient funds to do the job. they should not be going off on recess before this is done. and certainly, this has to get done over the course of the next several weeks in order for us to be able to provide con fidence o the american people that we are handling this piece of business. if i am a young family right nwu or somebody who is thinking of starting a young family, this is a piece of insurance that i want to purchase. that is true for most americans. so, and understand that this is not something that where we can build a wall to prevent. mosquitos don't go through customs, and to the extent that we are not handling this thing on the front end, we will have bigger problems on the back end. so, for those of you who are listening, tell your me
