Dramatic lightfilled spaces that keep in line with the b and c terminals at reagan. All the amenities, the space and openness. Were feg to provide in the new concourse, its going to enhance the passengers experience. While this is a brandnew space, remember, this isnt exactly an expansion. Its a serious upgrade. For the 6,000 daily passengers who now have to board commuter planes in the elements. This puts a roof over their heads and gives the planes dedicated slots. The thing that drove us to do this was the fact that in the last three years we have seen a tremendous growth of this airport over 25 of passengers. Jackpoter, head of the airports authority, said now is the time to make the situation better. We have to make sure we accommodate people who travel in this airport in a comfort environment. Another huge change, t will be built between the metro station and the departures and arrivals area. 150,000 new square feet of space.

Investigators say thats when a man jumped out and stabbed a Police Officer before he was shot and killed. As the capitol here in the United States, we are no stranger, of course, to threats against our city, and joining us now with how police here may respond to s former Capitol Police chief kim dine. Thank you for joining us. A couple of questions. First, did it actually even though the Police Officer at the parliament, the Security Guard was killed, did in some ways the Security Work there in that regard . In that he did the fence did stop him . I do not know all the facts, but i have to believe given the left of security they have, that it obviously played some role. Could have been much worse. How does their security sort of coincide with ours here . What are the similarities . Well, there are some similarities. Theres a huge use of technology there. And we have been improving that in the United States, as you know. Vastly over the last ten years. So thats probably the most similar, i think. Kim, lets talk about technology from the terrorist standpoint or the attacker stand ppt point. Low technology. Vehicles and a knife used. Some pe terms of finding out whats going on for law enforcement. Because those are everyday items in everyones hands. Absolutely. When i was here last time, we talked about the inauguration and the facthat thats really the big day, the olympics for the Capitol Police because it only happens every four years. Then the other major events are like the super bowl because they happen every year. Every single day, the departments that engage in the security type policing have to be vigilant every single day, every mbt of every day. Those are the challenges because any type of technology might be used. Might be very basic and crude or very complex, but theres not a day that goes by that the departments cant be on basically high alert. When you have people on a bridge because we live in open societies, you know, cars can run people over. We see that, thats going to happen. But will the security at parliament because they did now look and see if they did something wrong here . Every agency goes through after action analysis after the fact to see what could be done differently or better and this is obviously a tragedy. Our hearts go out to them and to that department and the women and men of that agency. But traffic patterns, packages, vehicles, all of those are relevant in this kind of event. Kim dine, thank you so much for coming in and sharing your perspective and insights. Thanks for having me. Good to see you. And offduty Police Officer encounters an issue that put his life at risk, as he sat in his car in his own driveway. The quick action by a friend thats the reason hes now sharing his story.

Com all right, dougs in the house. Boy, is it whipping out there. The wind is the big factor here. Without the wind, today would really be nice out there. Cool, we have plenty of sunshine. H. Sunshine without the wind, feels pretty good. As soon as the wind blows upwards of 20 to 30 Miles Per Hour, makes it feel so much colder. Look at that shot there. A really nice shot. You can start to see things starting to bloom as you make your way through the next few days. Well see a lot more of that. 48 degrees, the current temperature. Rather breezy at 7 00, temperatures dropping to 36 by 11 00. A cold night tonight. The coldest in about a week here. Yes, were going to get below freezing just about everywhere across our region. 45, leesburg currently. 49 in culpepper. Only 43 in hagerstown. With the wind, winds gusting over 25 Miles Per Hour. Even 30 Miles Per Hour in some spots. Those windchills are in the low 30s to the north. Around 40 in the city, but again, if you notice through the buildings or getting out oficide your car, it makes it feel colder. Make sure you wear the coat tonight. Tonight is probably the last night you need it, maybe tomorrow morning because well have a cold start there. Then you might be able to put we need the rain. This is the Drought Monitor as of today. Severe drought for parts of maryland, down through parts of Northern Virginia. Moderate drought for the i95 corridor. We need to see rain, but its just not coming. We need 6 to 9 inches of rain, and over the next ten days, we have a half to an inch and a half. Not a lot of rain, so we continue to stay very dry. You cant get any rain with a satellite and rad arlike this, completely clear across the region. Look at the flow today out of the north, out of canada. You see the lake effect snows that were making their way into parts of pennsylvania. Look at the jet stream, way up into canada, way down into the southern portions o
