Yeah, very tough words for metro officials today from congress. But members of Congress Also had strong warnings for the man in charge of the federal agency thas metro. Im tired of the double speak. Members of congress tried to get answers from the federal Transit Administration on whether its the private agency to oversee metros safety and if so, why they havent made changes in order to prevent accidents like the falls church derailment. We have derailment and injuries happening on a regular basis while you already, as you have just testified, have the authority to fix it, and youre not ficking it. Before we get you to act in the appropriate manner . Congressman mark meadows grew frustrated with the answers from the executive director of the fta. The problem here is that the culture overcomes the rule book. So youre going to blame it on mr. Jackson and all his Union Employees . Is that what youre saying . Im going to get to the bottom of it here. If the model was following its standards, the incident should notve the systematic fault of all the people involved in that process. So youre involved. Its partly your fault. After several minutes of this exchange, he acknowledged his agency was partially responsible for the breakdowns in safety. Gerry connolly addressed his frustration with the fta as well, but over a different issue. They tell me that you dont cooperate with them. In fact, they seek information told its proprietary.

Tonight, outside experts weig in and point to a chilling motive. As the cremated remains of fidel castro continue to process from havana to where we are in Santiago De Cuba, we look at right now, Santiago De Cuba is preparing to receive the remains of fidel second largest city because its there from which fidel castro launched his 1959 revolution. Its also there that his ashes will be interred this weekend. David culver made the Cross Country drive and joins us live to tell us about it. David. Hey, there, wendy. This is also known as cubas second capitol, Santiago De Cuba. Theyre getting ready for another tribute tomorrow night up, theyre playing and testing video, showing different images of fidel castro. They had Elian Gonzalez playing on the big screen here. This as thousands in this area, an area known as castros hometown, are preparing to send him off. Many of cubas city square named revolution square, after fidel castro took over in 1959. Tonight, santiagos square is being public memorial, and the city castro felt connected to. For him, he felt that he belonged to the city, and the city thinks that fidel belongs to them also. Cuban filmmaker carlos rodriguez, born and raised in the eastern part of cuba, says fidel impacted a certain generation. For my mother and grandmother, Fidel Castros revolution meant their whole life. They dedicated their whole life this may explain the packed streets lining cubas central highway as castros remains passed by. Some will remember the revolution sobbing, didnt matter they waited hours for a few minutes. It was worth it, this woman telling me. While young people also participated, this one Holding Tight to cubas flag, carlos tells me theyre enjoying recent changes under fidels brother raul. Life is quite different than remains will be interred. David, im curious, we have seen so much poverty in the country. Do the people in his hometown feel like they have benefitted from the revolution . Thats a question i did put to one of the locals here. You see a lot of the emotion, so you wonder what kind of connection theyre feeling. A lot of them tell me that initially, they feel immediately after the revolution for some, their conditions got better. But they say as years went they feel like now, again, theyre pushing for the change. Theyre hoping what they have seen in the past few years under raul will continue and expand more, and thats something at this point theyre just hoping for, cautiously optimistic is how its best put. A long time. Thank you, david. And david will be in cuba throughout the weekend covering the processional carrying castros ashes, also covering his funeral. You can cover the events and the details about a mothers strange kidnapping in calf. She was released and found alive on thanksgiving day. Her name is sherri papini.

He talked about the abduction to abc news. She was bound. She had a chain around her wai. She had a bag over her head. Her left hand was in the vehicle chained to something. I suspect based on the types of injuries that sherri incurred, the beatings, the broken nose, the cut hair, especially the chains and the branding, indicate that it was most likely one of these sex trafficking groups. The private investigator who was hired by sherris family said drug cartels and human running when she disappeared. She said she was abducted by two women who spoke spanish and kept their faces covered. Back to president ial politics and the Heated Exchange between strategists for the clinton and Trump Campaigns.

We moved forward and sent a letter to the Laurel Police department letting them know actions we would not be prosecuting this officer. The man survived the shooting and was charged with burglary. His attorney said this was not a police justified shooting. Mr. Curbeam was unarmed, shot in the back, and not posing a threat the officer when he was shot down.

For years, shaun and his neighbors have lived on this waterfront property in southern Prince Georges County. This is broad creek. And down at the end of the creek is where the pumping station is. Were talking about hundreds of tankers of raw sewage going into the river. In early 2000, it became clear that when there is a hard rain, the sewer system tied to the broad creek basin overflows. 31 million gallons with an m gallons of raw sewage dumped into the creek since 2006. That sewage goes into broad creek and we keep saying broad creek. It goes directly into potomac river. Gary is wsscs chief engineer. Water there is safe. No reason to not swim in it when theres not an overflow. Would you swim in it . If there wasnt an overflow, i would swim in it. I wouldnt drink it. Wssc is well aware of the issue.

The rain gets into the sewers. Liquid coming down the pipe. The sewage is a liquid coming down the pipe. Theres not enough for both.

That waste will head right for the broad creek pump station. If National Harbor were to come in today from scratch, even though they only want to do more at 100,000 gallons which is not enough for a development of that size. For the past five years, wssc has been installing larger water pipes that will increase the capacity and stop the overflow. That was supposed to be done by 2012. Then it was pushed back to 2017. Now that wont happen until late 20192020. Wssc says its been slowed down by the permitting process. But mgm and its additional approved before the prohibition on development.

Thank you, doug. Coming up in sports, he played through the pain on thanksgiving, now washington is going to be without jordan reed on sunday. We found out how the team plans to replace his production out in arizona. But first, heres lester holt with a look at whats ahead on nbc nightly news. Chris and wendy, ahead for us, dramatic developments in the courtroom where a jury is deliberating the fate of a South CarolinaPolice Officer facing charges for shooting a suspect in the bag. A former nfl player dead. The shooter now free and questions swirling. The heartbreaking story reminding parents of a common but overlooked household danger, when we stronger is rebuilding a newborns heart. And restoring a fathers faith. Stronger is being a typical kid. Despite a rare disorder. Stronger is seeking answers and not giving up until you find them. Because we dont just want kids to grow up. With the caps, wizards, and redskins coming off losses, chris is with us from the studios. Any of the teams going to be really hard for the wizards. Well get to them in a minute. The redskins are going to have to get the job done without an important player. Jordan reed will not play this sunday against the cardinals. This will be the third game this season the redskins touchdown target will miss. Now, take a look at reed during practice this week. He looks perfectly fine, raising his right arm to catch the football. The problem is his left shoulder. See it . He cant raise that one. The stays on this left side. He needs a week off because of redskins plan without jordan reed. Get another good weekend of treatment. Got to keep him back here, get a good weekend of treatment, and hopefully get him back for next week. Were going to keep the standard concepts, the plays we have that we like, but we expect vernon or derrick to be able to do them. We might have less of a certain package. Maybe the three tight end sets or Something Like that, but well still carry about everything that we have, just team, 71 on the season. Problem is, their first loss came on tuesday night. Shooting was a major issue against pitt. 34 from the floor wont lead to many victories, and mark turgeon has a bigger issue with his team, the amount of threepointers they took, a total of 36. Double the amount as the winner panthers. We talked to our team about getting good shots. And we probably shot a few more than we needed to the other night because we were 20 count for six points instead of three points, but they dont. So the key is that were getting good shaudz. Were getting a lot of open looks. Thats what matters. Were missing some around the rim, too. So you keep talking about execution, keep talking about taking good shots. But we have to offensive rebound better. If were going to miss 58 of our shots, we better rebound, you know, 30 of those to 35 of those. All right, so game night for washington has not won in san antonio since 1999. Wizards have actually only beaten the spurs twice since 2006. Wizards also looking to rebound from a tough overtime loss to the thunder on wednesday night. Its an 8 30 tipoff. Bradley beal attempts to explain why san antonio is so hard to stop. You cant be surprised by anything. You cant be surprised by guys hitting threes, shooting threes, or guys making the plays theyre theyre like a robot machine, like you just plug in numbers, or you plug in other players and theyre going to produce the same way. So we have to be able to come in ready to go, starters, and whoever comes off the bench to give us great minutes. We have to do whatever it takes to win. We have enough of these moral victories. Those dangerous robot machines. The nationals have a new player, catcher derek morris was traded to washington from san diego for draft pick by the nats but was sent to oakland in 2011 in a dealio gonzalez. Tiger woods told his caddie, lets keep the card clean. Mission accomplished. Fired a 7 under 55 in the hero world challenge in the bahamas to move into contention. Just a reminder, wizards with a late start tonight down in texas. They hit the court at 8 30. Broadcast on csn tonight, and ill see you back here for a full recap at 11 00. Back to you. Thanks, chris. Nice to see tiger out there. It is good to see him doing better. Trying to get wins and comebacks tonight. Thats our theme. Good man. Thanks. Cold weekend . Yeah, but well be fine. We got sun. Advertised, 51. We get sunshine tomorrow, a little wind. Thats about it. Tomorrow afternoon, 52. Just bundle up, especially when the sun is not shining. When we have the sunshine, its okay. And its the weekend. Early december. Nightly news is up next. Well seeou back here at cmon in, pop pop happy birthday i survived a heart attack. Im doing all i can to keep from having another one. And im taking brilinta. For people whove been hospitalized for a heart attack. I take brilinta with a baby aspirin. No more than one hundred milligrams as it affects how well it works. Brilinta helps keep my platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. Brilinta reduced the chance it worked better than plavix. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. Deadlocked. Trumps controversial calls. Late word on the president elects phone conversations with foreign leaders, raising eyebrows around the world. Hidden danger. One child nearly every month, killed by one of the top hazards so many people have inside their homes. A family sounding the alarm, hoping to save even one life. And the dancing principal. Our friday inspiring america report. A School Administrator who moves to her own beat. Nightly news begins
