The folks who take metro. Todays major delays stem from track problems in Medical Center and woodly park ask it backed up the entire red line and big crowds started forming at the start of the morning rush. All of this is happening as metros top leaders were on their way to face lawmakers on capitol hill. Transportation reporter adam tuss is live at one of todays trouble spots in bethesda. Adam . Reporter thats right, pat. We asked the general manager why this started along the red line and he said basically it was a water issue. Of course, we have documented the water issues here at the Medical Center station and how every time it rains the water just goes into the station. Crews have cleared out of here right now. There are some maintenance personnel still lingering around here, but we are told that the single tracking is now gone. Nevertheless, it was an ugly morning commute for a lot of people frustrated by what they were finding as they were trying to make their ways to work. Delays of 45 hour in some stretches. We talked to the general manager on capitol hill about it this morning. Every time it rains for an extended period of time, are you worried and crossing your fingers . In that area, as you know, in that part of the system, its a 25plusyear recognized issue and you have to build a tunnel within a tunnel to stop that from happening there, and it does mean we have to do much more stronger maintenance there which means that we have to impact customers during the service if we dont have the timing out there. Maintenance teams are putting an extra focus along the red line, but the general manager says they werent able to get to this particular section and make meaningful repairs and some of the lawmakers on capitol hill guys, said that they flatout avoided the red line today and one of them, 17 miles to get to the Metro Hearing today. Adam, what about the rape along the red line last month. We understand the general manager talked about that today, too. Reporter right. We had a lot of questions about that today, pat, and what he basically said was that when that arrest was made and when that incident happened last month that the arrest was made so quick, within hours after that metro didnt really feel like they needed to publicize it. There was no threat to the public and they could just go and put it out as part of their crime statistics. We gave the general manager a bunch of and metro now says whenever there is a Violent Crime onboard theyre going to report it the same day. So a change of policy and another reverse decision that the general manager has made rather quickly. All right. Adam tuss, thank you.

Its a whole new venue of transmission which is quite difficult to contain. Dr. Anthony fauci of the National Institutes of health earlier today discussing some of the Biggest Challenges in stopping the zika virus and that is controlling the mosquitos that spread the disease. He made a panel on ways to manage the risk here in the u. S. Nbcs Kerry Sanders is working on this story for nightly news and joins us live from miami. Terry, how can the u. S. Respond to the Health Threat if they cant even stop fighting over funding . Well there, is a real fight over funding and dr. Fauci said it was not a request for 1. 9 billion from the president , but that it was needed and so what borrowing money from other funds like the ebola fund and using it for this, but at some point the piper will ask to be paid and theyll need the money. Consumer reports has come out with research with what we can do as consumers when were worried about the mosquitos that carry the virus and theyre saying sprays are more effective than using the lotions and we should use the labels and look for a couple of things and maybe it has deet which has shown to be effective to a chemical ingredient that is also effective and orange of oil eucalyptus which is effective. One of the things they looked at was for pregnant mothers who were concerned about using the chemicals when theyre pregnant and maybe that would affect their pregnancies and the studies suggest and so do the medical authorities that the chemical allowed to be used are indeed not harmful to a mother those natural items, some of the Natural Repellents that are sold are not effective. If you are a woman, pregnant, using a natural repellent you should look very closely to make sure yours is on the list thats proven effective. Kerry, dr. Fauci, did he talk about whether he thinks the u. S. Is doing enough . Theres been a lot of debate. Some people think were too late responding and that were not responding well enough. What did he say about that . I think probably the most compelling thing that he had to say was that its possible that there may be a vaccine that comes out of trial maybe by the end of 2016, 2017 and then he said maybe 2018. The real challenge that he talked about is every community has its own Mosquito Control and of course, a mosquito doesnt between one government and the other. So in some parts of the country, you have a city that has a tremendous amount of effective Mosquito Control and the town just next door does not, and of course, the fear is that while we have not seen zika in mosquitos in the United States, weve seen it in people who have traveled primarily from south america and puerto rico and the fear is that the mosquito bites somebody who is carrying zika and theyre unaware that they have it and then it gets into the mosquito population and that mosquito goes on and bites and draws blood from the woman who is pregnant.

In that statement constand said she was dizzy, blurryeyed and started to panic after cy pills and some wine before the alleged assault. The point of this is that it was intoxicating to her, and that she was unable to consent. Thats the crime. Cosby has told investigators the pills were benadryl that he offered to constand to help her relax and that the encounter of consensual. His attorney at times screaming in the courtroom labeled the hearing a complete denial of cosbys rights.
