Reporter the Health Practitioners at this county clinic had time and vaccine for 200 inoculations and demand was high because of the continuing prevalence of flu. Ive seen a lot of people in my school that have been sick. Some of them are missing a week. Its kind of tough. Reporter some people are at this county cling because they couldnt find flue clinic because they couldnt find flu vaccine at their local clinic or pharmacy. I went to giants, cvs locally and couldnt find it. We did find flu vaccine at this safeway far, but this giant pharmacy was running very low by lunchtime and this cvs has had no flu vaccine for a week. An independent pharmacy in northwest d. C. Is also completely out of flu vaccine, but everything is hit and miss. For example, the cvs pharmacy in the belleview neighborhood of Fairfax County is out of flu vaccine, but the minuteclinic within that cvs pharmacy does have flu vaccine. So if youre looking for a flu shot, youll have to do some telephone research. John henrehan, fox 5 news.

Testimony in the misconduct trial of Anne Arundel County executive john leopold got underway today with a member of his office staff describing what she viewed as illegal activity, officers on the protection detail taking part in the activity. Fox 5s paul wagner has the story. Reporter in his opening start to the judge the state prosecutor said john leopold abused statement to the judge the state prosecutor said john leopold abused and misused the public trust saying leopold is accountable for his conduct, misgrievous use of county employees for his own personal gain, but the defense attorney had a different take telling the judge Dennis Sweeney four of the five charges against his client do not violate the law under the states criminal statutes and told the judge the charges defied logic because leopolds behavior was the worst kept secret in the world. As testimony got underway, the states first witness was patricia medlin, john leopolds scheduler. Well over an hour medlin repeatedly said she was nervous as the defense objected dozens of times to the questions she was asked. When medlin was allowed to answer, she told the court she was afraid to say no to john leopold. She was an at will employee and knew saying no to the man would be viewed as being disloyal. So medlin said she erected Campaign Signs for the county executive and emptied his catheter bag numerous times after leopold had bag surgery and said he couldnt do it himself. Medlin said she stood up to leopold at 1 time telling the county executive that using officers from his executive protection detail to check on Campaign Signs was illegal. Medlin also told the court she knew leopold had two officers stay with him when he was hospitalized on two different occasions for the sole purpose of keeping his lover from running into his livein girl friend. The state then called former po shanahan to the stand who told the Court Political activity by any member of the executive protection detail is forbidden. Two other witnesses, lieutenant Katherine Goodwin seen on the left, and former Anne Arundel County executive janet owens on the right, both told the court any kind of political activity on the executive protection detail was not allowed with owens adding she never asked any officer to help her put up Campaign Signs or help her politically in any way. John leopold is facing four counts of misconduct in office as well as one other charge. Hes also facing a Sexual Harassment lawsuit filed by several women, some of them who used to work for the county executive and at least one of those women was attending the trial today listening to testimony.

Alicia keys, brad paisley, chris cornell, jennifer fox, marc anthony will perform at the commander in chiefs ball. John lend, smokey robinson, and usher will be at the other ball. This will be your 16th consecutive nomination. You always have the best seat in the house in the very front. Youve done of inauguration since harry truman in 1949. Correct. Not dating you, but how did you get started . In 1949 i was going to an announcing school. I wanted to be a sports announcer and so the trumans was the first inaugural parade to be on television. So they needed announcers. So they came in the broadcast and i was one of those selected and the next thing i know i in griffiths stadium as the stadium announcer and that is traditional to have the president of the United States throw out the first ball. So my responsibility as the Public Relations and the announcer is to welcome the president , introduce him to some of the players, walk him around. So were buddies for about 10 minutes. Isnt that great. Then i introduce him and i thought that was the end of that. I was wrong. In november of 1956, that same baseball season, but the season is now over i get a call from the white house and she says are you charlie bratman and i said yes, maam. I thought i was in trouble. I bet. Finally she says well, you must have made an impression on president eisenhower because he wants you to introduce him again and i said where and when . She says well, the where would be pennsylvania avenue in washington d. C. The when is january 20th, 1957. My goodness. I said wait a minute. Im a native washingtonian. Thats the president ial inaugural parade and she says yes, sir. Youll be the president s announcer. My goodness. You described your job as being the eyes and ears of the president for the event. Why do you say that . Well, what happens is the president is rather low just as we are right here, street level, and im high. Im like three stories up. He sees whats right in the middle. He doesnt know who is coming, who is going and so the eyes and ears, im high, i got binoculars and so i see hes approaching and basically as the announcer ladies and gentlemen approaching the president ial reviewing stand, the United States marine corps band meanwhile they are right there. He knows when to stand, when to salute, when to put the hand over the heart and it was kind of funny because im casual, informal on the microphone and then when the white house representative says you are the eyes and ears of the president , i said i wish you hadnt told me. Oh, my gosh, the pressure and pressure. Do you have a favorite inauguration moment or favorite inauguration youve announced for . Well, what happened, i think that the personality of the president has an extension into the parade. Yeah. Ronald reagan brought in half of hollywood here and to me thats show biz and it really was exciting and so i consider his parade normally takes two, 2 1 2 hours, his was over four hours. In the cold. It was cold, oh. If anybody goes out there, dress for the weather, not the parade. Indeed. Ive got to ask this. Any plans to stop . We dont want you to, but got to ask. I think when im 120 ill think about retirement. So weve got your help for quite a while. I hope. So. Its an honor and pleasure. We cannot wait to hear you again monday.

I have met every other president except obama at this point and one of the women who is the director of the parade basically said i will take care of that personally. Youve got to.

Talking weather. You heard mr. Bratman talk about inauguration. What you got for us . Isnt he in the enclosed structure . Yeah. But he says it still gets cold out there which you guys can attest you. You were there four years ago freezing your you know what off. Thats the coldest ive ever been was four years ago tomorrow. That high that day was 30. We didnt have a lot of sunshine and a little breeze. It should be a little warmer. After five hours 30, it feels like minus 30. Ill be here in the warm studio. Let me make sure my microphone is on. Can you hear me now . Maybe you didnt want to hear that because its going to be cold around here. Look, enjoy this weekend. It will be breezy. The conditions will be gusty winds and temperatures in the mid to upper 40s. Thats going to be a whole lot warmer than what its going to be next week because the leading edge of arctic air starts coming in probably late sunday night, early monday morning and then its going to drain through next week. So it will be a lot colder out there in the coming days. 32 in town. Its been cold enough this evening, 30 gaithersburg and dulles 30 degrees right now, culpeper 28. You can see out in the suburbs with clear skies and the winds have lightened up. That will be the trend tonight, much colder temperatures in the suburbs. 40 the high today in d. C. Probably didnt feel that way with the wind blowing most of the day, but that was the official high of the super cold for International Falls, 12 degrees official high. Super cold for International Falls 12 degrees there and there is warm air coming all the way up into the Tennessee Valley and ohio valley, cincinnati 40. We tap into some of this. Tomorrow will be in the mid to upper 40s, looks like well pretty much be there sunday as well and the cold air from canada will make a big push moving into the latter portion of the weekend and by monday it starts coming on in just in time for the inauguration, right . Clear skies now, snow to the north of us and look how clear it is pack into the central plains, a back into the central plains, a few clouds back to the midwest and great lake states. We may have one or two clouds. Otherwise i think the wind will be up around 10 to 20 miles per hour. Well have gusts 20 to 25 at times tomorrow. So even though temperatures will be mid to upper 40s its going to feel much colder. Pretty much the same sunday as well. This front will start moving through sunday. Well still get into the 40s and have good amounts of sunshine on sunday and the leading edge of the arctic air sunday will still be well north of us, but this will start coming in and kind of pushing its way through monday. Maybe you saw the inauguration great for monday. There may be some snow showers inauguration weather for monday. There may be some snow showers. Well probably see a few monday afternoon and evening. Tonights low in the city 28, colder in the suburbs where some places may get to the lower 20s, winds south 10 to 15 miles per hour. If youre up and out early tomorrow morning, bundle up. It will be cold even with the sunshine. The temperature tomorrow will start off about 30 degrees at 8 a. M. , 43 at noon. Well have gusty winds. It will be breezy even late day, temperatures tomorrow for highs mid to upper 40s around the area, perhaps a little cooler sunday, but still good amounts of sunshine. I think again the headlines for the weekend will be above normal, but breezy. So it will make it feel on the cool side. 38 officially with some snow showers on Inauguration Day and much, much colder. Tuesday maybe gets up to 30 degrees, but it will be breezy. So it will never feel like that. Wednesday and thursday well be hovering around freezing for high temperatures. Thanks, gary. Its been a huge week in washington from inauguration preps to the gun control debate. We sat down with Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace to talk about the big topics hes covering this week including david plouff, Senior Advisor to president obama. Well talk about the president s agenda for the second term and part of that obviously is gun control. Generally speaking, i think the word, the feel you get is this president will be much more combative during his second term, much more confrontational than he was over the last four years. Hes come to the conclusion, right or wrong, that he cant make deals with republicans. So hes going to play an outside game, try to build up support among voters and get them to pressure their representatives to see it his way. So it will be very interesting to see on gun control, on the debt, on Immigration Reform whether thats the way to get action. Talk about gun control, another guest youll have this week is senator roy blunt who i heard talking about his reaction to president obamas gun control speech saying he really didnt think the president was doing a lot to compromise and that he thought that the legislation proposed to have a little bite to it. Hes going to be on with you. What are you talking about with him . Again, the whole second term agenda, but a lot of that will be gun control. The general feeling i think up on capitol hill, maureen, is getting the assault weapons ban will be tough. It will be a little easier to get some kind of limit on the size of these big magazines that can hold 30 or 100 rounds of ammunition. The thing thats getting overwhelming support in the polls, 90 , is the idea of a universal background check, that every sale of a gun whether its from the registered federal dealer, whether its at a gun show or a private sale that, there has to be some kind of background check to see whether somebody has a criminal background, a Mental Health problem. I think that has a pretty good chance in some form of getting through. There seems to be almost universal support. Youre also talking about the debt ceiling, threemonth extension on that. The Interesting Development is that House Republicans had a retreat in williamsburg and just came out with word they want to extend the debt ceiling for about two, three months because they dont they want to have a battle over spending with the president but not over the possibility of default. They know that would tank the economy. It would rile up the financial marks. I think theyll kick that down markets. I think theyll kick that down the road and have a fight over sequestration. One way or another theyll have a logger head with the president when it comes to cuts and dramatic spending. Your power play of the week . Reverend ruiz leon, the church of the president. Ive lived in washington 30 plus years and never been inside the church, driven past it plenty. Beautiful place. President s have gone there since 1816. President obama will go there for his preinaugural Worship Service monday. Speaking of inauguration, big plans for ask you . Are you attending any balls . Thank god, no. Im way too old for that. The inaugural ball has the best name and the worst reality of anything i know in washington, but i will cover the inaugural ceremony. Im very excited about that. As will we. Well see you this sunday. Coming up next talk about a lucky find, how much money do you think this 12pound gold nugget is worth . The answer after the break. And now thats my take with wttg Vice President and general manager duffy dyer. It took a while but im finally over the redskins loss to the seahawks. Its been almost two weeks since that devastating loss. Im amazed how many people are still talking about the redskins. All the talk isnt about their 106 season or east division title. Its about the knee, the right knee of rg3, the knee that couldnt make it out of its first pro season without being extensively damaged, the knee that played one play too many, the knee that we will continue to talk about and lose sleep over until rg3 takes his first big hit upon his return to the field. So how did we get here . Growing number of fans believe the redskins did not properly manage their star player allowing the player, a 22year old rookie to, make decisions that are typically the responsibility of the teams coaches, namely head coach mike shanahan. Theres a lot of head shaking in the region over this. Why risk the health of the teams most electrifying player when they have an able backup in kirk cousins . Why allow your star player who was obviously performing way below his normal high level to continue to drag his right leg through the painted dirt at fedex field . If the redskins want to rack up more Division Titles and drive deeper into the playoffs in their years to company, their player Management Strategy should be rethought. Responsibility for making playing decisions needs to be put back in the hands of the coaches with guidance from team doctors no matter how insistent, stubborn or intimidating the player might be. Rg3 in the last quarter of his rookie season did not give the redskins the best chance for victory. Rg3 may have thought so, but what he thought shouldnt have let me know what you think. Go to www.
