Tens of thousands of passionate fans packing this stadium, the pressure of a thursday night Football Game and why that could be a relief for this ravens team coming up. But first president obama addressing the nation tonight, the promise, destroy the terror group isis. Good evening. Im derek mcginty. Im debra alfarone. His plan includes airstrikes, but the president promises no combat troops like in iraq or afghanistan. Wusa9s jim osman joins us live from the sat center where he monitored the president s speech and the publics reaction to it. Reporter president obama takes to the air waves to address our current threat. President obama said he first consulted with allies abroad and congress at home before coming up with his isis strategy, a group the president refers to as isil. America will announce a Broad Coalition to roll back this terrorist threat. Our objective is clear. We will degrade and ultimately destroy isil through a comprehend sieve and sustained counterterrorism stat comprehensive and sustained counterterrorism strategy. Reporter it will include airstrikes. This is my core principle of my presidency. If you threaten america, you will find no safe haven. Reporter it was also aimed at lawmakers to help foot the bill without mentioning exactly what the bill may be or any timeline for the campaign against isis. Tonight i again to give us additional authorities and resources to train and equip these fighters. Reporter about 10 minutes into his speech the president called on american can do and resolve to bolster our latest mission against isis terrorists. Abroad American Leadership is the 1 constant. Reporter ending his 15 minutes remarks in a ranging speech that touched on everything from isis to the American Economy mr. Obama vowed on the American Military effort. Speaker john boehner said, the president tonight recanted his earlier dismissals of isils capabilities and rightly acknowledged the grave and growing threat posed by the spreading global epidemic of radicalized islam. He has finally begun to make the case the nation has needed him to make for quite some time. We also surveyed twitter to see reaction from other republicans on the hill and it was very similar to speaker boehner. Reporting live in the sat center jimmous plan, wusa9. Jim osman, wusa9. You may have noticed the president refers to isil. Theres a reason. Isis stands for Islamic State in iraq and syria because the groups territory straddles the border between those two countries. Isil stands for Islamic State of iraq and the levant which is a historic name given to the entire region east of the mediterranean. Its to emphasize the groups goal to expand its influence beyond the borders of syria and iraq. Turning to weather, we are under a yellow alert for tomorrow. Thats not good news for players and fans headed to M T Bank Stadium. Not to mention journalists. Chief meteorologist topper shutt joins us. Could those storms really impact us tomorrow at the game . Youll like this computer model. This has storms moving out in time for the kickoff. Futurecast 6 a. M. , temperatures 72 downtown and 60s in the burbs with partly sunny skies. By lunchtime, 1 00 still okay. Temps rebound quickly, 86 downtown, 84 gaithersburg and leesburg. By 4 00 here comes a line of showers and storms. See all the bright colors down to the south on the east side of 95. We do have a light range of showers and thunderstorms from d. C. Up to baltimore at 4 00. I think you tailgaters will get wet no matter which computer model you look at, but this particular model takes most of the storms across i95 by 5 00 and by 6 00 all the way across the bay. They will linger and become rather intense, if not severe, cross Southern Maryland and the northern neck. Well come back and show you another model that paints a very different story. D. C. Police arrested a driver they say ran into an officer while they were trying to arrest the man. It happened this afternoon at 31st street and south dakota avenue in northeast. The man put his vehicle into reverse, slammed into the officer and tried to zoom away. Police fired 1 round at him and arrested him a short distance away. Both the officer and the suspect have nonlife threatening injuries. Breaking news from the nfl following the ray rice incident. The league now says it will conduct an independent investigation. According to nfl. Com fbi director robert mueller, iii will handle the case with the giants and steelers owners overseeing it. The final report will be made public. Tonight the league also said it will look into this Associated Press report that a Law Enforcement official sent the ray rice video to the nfl three months ago. The a. P. Says it listened to the an nfl phone number on it with a female saying, youre right. Its terrible. That voicemail dated april 9th. Today Roger Goodell sent a letter to the nfl owners hoping to clarify the actions that he and the other top officials took leading up to mondays video release. Goodell said he didnt see the video until it became public monday. Second, League Officials requested the video multiple times from several new jersey agencies. However, they did not ask that Atlantic City casino directly for the video. Finally goodell says its his understanding the criminal proceedings are still considered an open matter which means under state law investigators still wouldnt be legally allowed to release the video. Amid all this controversy the commissioner spent the afternoon at wake forest high in north carolina. Goodell said hes focused on the future and making sure the nfl is doing right thing. When we make a mistake, were honest about it and open about it and say were going to work to do better. We were a few weeks ago when we improved our policies in this area. We have more work to do. Were going to keep listening, learning and making sure were doing the right thing for all our fans. Today the National Organization for women called on goodell to resign saying the nfl lost its way and it doesnt have a ray rice problem but a violence against women problem. Today the ravens top leaders said theyre in the same boat as goodell. They didnt see the video until monday. The owner, Team President and general manager sat down with the Baltimore Sun and admitted they failed in handling the situation, vowed to be more diligent in investigating legal matters going forward. They called the elevator video embarrassing, sad and disgusting and gave differing accounts of whether rices story matched the video. Gm Ozzie Newsome said, had ray had given a story to John Harbaugh and i and what we saw on the video was what ray said. Ray didnt lie to me. Team president dick cass admitted, theres a big difference between reading a report that said he knocked her unconscious or being told that someone had slapped someone and that she had hit her head. That is 1 version of the facts. Thats what we understood to be the case. When you see the video, it just looks very different than what we understood the facts to be. Owner Steve Bisciotti said he hopes rice gets another shot in the nfl, but it wont be with the ravens. A bit earlier we took the trip up the road to baltimores M T Bank Stadium as the cbs crew was trying to put it together for tomorrows kickoff of thursday night football. The question of the hour, however, can the ravens focus on whooping the hated steelers with all the distraction of the ray rice saga so prevalent. I put that to Deion Sanders and anchor james brown. Reporter how do you as a player put aside any distractions . Its your job. You get paid to do it. This is your job. This is what youre being compensated really well to do. Theres an awful lot of pressure on the ravens to win. This is as close to a must win situation for them. As for the show tomorrow, think super bowl on wheels, if you will, 30 cameras, massive equipment plus technicians to run it all and it all has to move in and back out within a few days and then they do the whole thing oh again somewhere else, should be over again somewhere else, should be a great show. Turning to other news, Montgomery County police have charged a clarkbsurg mother with child neglect. Even as they search for the woman and her two young children. 27yearold Catherine Hoggle vanished days ago with 3year old sarah hoggle and her 2year old brother jacob. Today a tip led police to search along a path near riffleford road, nothing turned up. Police have meanwhile confirmed two sightings of Catherine Hoggle in germantown, one sunday near a harristeeter on darnestown road and early yesterday morning near the germantown common shopping area. Relatives are hoping mother and children will be found alive and well. Just wonderful little adorable kids and we know that catherine loves them very much, too and would never want to see anything happen to them or to her. We just keep on praying. Police ask anyone with any information about Catherine Hoggle or her children, please call 911. You can help us spread the word of that missing mom and kids by going to any of our social media pages or www. Wusa9. Com. We have a Photo Gallery there of hoggle and her children, so take a second to share that with your friends so we can help bring them home. You might wonder why you arent hearing about an amber alert. In maryland a child has to be abducted meaning illegally taken away by force or deception for an amber alert to be issued. Since Catherine Hoggle is the mother and as such, a legal guardian of her two children, that amber alert doesnt apply. The fight against ebola just collected 50 million bucks, the bill and Melinda Gates foundation donating the cash to be used to buy supplies, develop vaccines and therapies and better diagnostic tools. Last week the United Nations says it would take 600 million to fight the outbreak which is now the largest on record. As our mola lenghi explains, tonight more help is on the way to west africa thanks to a group based here in d. C. Reporter as doctors, nurses and other medical staff try to fight and contain the spread of ebola in west africa, the irony here is that the ones treating the disease are among the most infected. Groups across the u. S. Including here at home are sending help. It cannot be contained fast enough, the ebola virus sweeping across west africa infecting nearly 4,000 people and killing 2,200 more while taking a particularly high toll on healthcare workers. Here at home these boxes are being packed tight, taped up and sent out filled with 276 hazmat suits for healthcare workers in liberia to use when working with patients. These suits are desperately needed over there. In fact, theyre on back order from many manufacturers around the world. We were lucky to find these 276 that we have. Reporter pci global acquired the suits. The Organization Works to prevent disease and promote Community Health and nutrition across the globe. They arent alone in their donations to west africa. The u. S. And english governments pledged millions of dollars, deployed military personnel, built isolation units and field hospitals. America donated five ambulances to the sierra leone government also ravaged with ebola. Our government decided its an emergency. Its not a peace or conflict situation, but its something very important to donate to. Reporter a minnesota nonprofit is sending 100 tons of supplies from meals and iv units to disinfectants and oxygen units. Another nonprofit in colorado is sending facemasks and infection kits. From coast to coast the u. S. Is answering the call. The tough nature of this disease is just the fact there isnt any notable therapy other than good supportive care. Reporter this week the World Health Organization warned that thousands and thousands of new infections are expected in liberia in the coming weeks. Researchers around the world are working to develop new drugs to fight ebola including a scientist at Howard University. But andrea roane tells us his research didnt start out with ebola in mind. We tried to benefit without this model. Reporter for discoveries he made in his laboratory at Howard University the professor sergey nehigh is called the accidental ebola researcher. I was laughing. Lot of the things are accidental that happen in science. Reporter the ukrainian born scientist came to Howard Universitys campus 14 years ago as an hiv researcher. His focus was on why patients with Sickle Cell Disease even after numerous blood transfusions appear to be immune or resistant to hiv aids compared to the general population. And we started to develop inhibitors for hiv. Reporter the doctor says while the ebola and hiv viruses are not the same, the way they reproduce in the cells are. I have a study for 10 years that might be items that perhaps we can use the same articles for ebola virus. Reporter time to develop a different way to attack ebola is critical. A new study shows the virus rapidly mutating which could make it more transmissible or reduce the efficacy of drugs in the pipeline. This couldnt be a vaccine because a vaccine is specifically target for one type of ebola. Reporter after publishing his latest research in the journal of biological chemistry the National Institutes of Health Awarded the doctor and his team 2 million added to the grants theyve already received from the department of defense. So this money will be used to see what happens when we put this molecule into blood or into animals, see if its stable or unstable. Reporter the doctor is hopeful his team can develop compounds ready for safety testing in animals about in a year and human Clinical Trials in another two to three years. Dr. Nehigh says his project is especially important to him as many of his colleagues have family and friends in africa directly impacted by the ebola virus. If anyone knows what ray rice is going through, its this fellow, later in sports Michael Vicks advice to the now jobless running back. And plan on getting the new iphone 6 . How about getting it for free . After the break the company this is a different kind of airline. One that invented lowfares so everyone could fly. One that decides where to go next by putting your needs first. And knows people are its most powerful fuel. Some say we do things differently. We say, why would we do things any other way . Without a heart, its just a machine. Tonight a consumer alert for all those millions of you who use g mail. Today 5 million g mail addresses and passwords turned up on a russian bitcoin forum. The list appears to be a collection of passwords exposed in earlier hacks, but google says its servers werent breached and says theres no telling if this list is authentic or not. Its urging users to create better, stronger passwords. Verizon is offering customers a free iphone 6 when they go on sale later this month. There is a catch. Customers must turn in their old iphone and sign up for a new two Year Contract and then they receive a gift card for 200 bucks which they can use to buy the new iphone priced at 199. They get a buck back. Suppose you dont have an old iphone to trade in. Youre out of luck. Well be out of luck tomorrow . Tell you what. Well be fairly lucky during the game. I kind of feel sorry for the tailgaters. Thats probably the worst part of the forecast. And the journalists if youre going there. The a least one journalist anyway at least one journalist anyway. High temperature 83, not too bad outside, partly cloudy skies, 75, dew point 60, certainly comfortable, wind south at about 7. Yellow alert thursday for afternoon showers and storms. Tomorrow morning is fine. Kids at the bus stop will be dry and fine, 66 to 78, might want to pack them with a poncho. Theyll have showers coming home at 3 00 or 4 00. It will be wet at the ravens game for the tailgaters. I think thats a given. Time frame 3 p. M. To 8 p. M. For d. C. And north. That includes baltimore. I think its going to be 8 p. M. To maybe midnight south of town down toward Southern Maryland. Thats the bulls eye for the most intense storms and also for the longest duration of storms. That includes charles county, st. Marys, Calvert County and the northern neck. This is the north american computer model, 11 30 tomorrow morning no real problems in the immediate metro area, but by 1 00 some showers get pretty close toward frederick and hagerstown. By 4 00 we see showers rolling through the d. C. Metro area. So you tailgaters will probably have some showers. The good news is everything is shades of green, which is light. That much is good. By 6 00 showers are just almost south of M T Bank Stadium, very close. We are really trying to get some fine detail right now. By 8 00 again just very close to the stadium. I think youll be in pretty good shape bycatchoff. Youll be wet if youre tail by kickoff. Youll be wet if youre tailgating. By 12 00 heading home actually youll see some stars, clearing skies in baltimore and some clearing skies in d. C. West of town, but showers and thunderstorms could linger into Southern Maryland. I think this model may be a little show. The model we showed you earlier may be fast, so well cut it in half and say wet for tailgating, dry for the game. Overnight partly cloudy to mostly cloudy, temperatures 66 to 72 downtown. Your day planner, 75 at 9 00, partly sunny, 11 00 81 and by 1 00 86. Now the next three days weve got your yellow alert tomorrow with showers and storms, pretty nice finish to the week, maybe some clouds early friday, but then 78. That might be warm, really nice for high school football. Then saturday some showers, 75, good news, nothing heavy saturday, bad news, it may be on and off all day. That could be our next yellow alert. The next seven days, so it could be wet for the terps. Theyre in town hosting the mountaineers and then for the burgundy and gold fine, maybe early showers sunday, but fine during the game, 78, upper 70s, almost 80 monday and nats return next week, nice, in the 70s tuesday, wednesday. Not bad. Man, this ray rice story is just bubbling and broiling. Every day we think weve heard the last of it. Oh, no. Every hour it seems like something new. You were talking about the latest news, but have we seen the last of ray rice on the football field or will he be given a chance to redeem himself .

Now wusa9 game on sports with Kristen Berset brought to you by xfinity. Investigators hash out whether or not the nfl received a copy of the video from inside the elevator the night the ray rice incident occurred. The debate continues as to whether or not rices career is over or whether hell be given a Second Chance sometime down the road. One guy who knows all about that is michael vick who went to prison for operating a dogfighting ring. Then came back to play for the eagles and now the new york jets. Vick says he had doubts he would ever play again but hopes that hand is extended at some point to ray rice. Obviously theres going to be some doubt there and you just got to keep the faith, you know. Lean on the people who have always been there for you and the people who are there to help you and i think that will get you through. Hopefully that will work for ray. As the ravens gear up for tomorrow nights thursday night showdown against the pittsburgh steelers, the Washington Redskins continue their prep for sundays matchup against jacksonville, the redskins looking for their first win, hoping it comes at their home opener. With all the criticism surrounding the ability of this team, sundays game has already become a must win for a variety of reasons. I feel like it is just for us in this locker room. I think just to kind of quiet some noise around here in term of all the negative stuff we got to win some games to take that negative attention off of us. 02 it sucks. You cant do it. You cant put your team in that type of hole and i think especially when you are coming off a year like we had last year. On the baseball diamond Stephen Strasburg trying to better his luck against the atlanta braves. Theyve gotten the best of him all season and today was really no different. Strasburg allowed three runs and seven hits in six innings. The braves take this one 62 avoiding the sweep. Meanwhile the Baltimore Orioles did complete the sweep of the Boston Red Sox today. The birds raced out to an 80 lead and didnt look back. Their magic number to clinch the al east is at eight. D. C. United in new jersey taking on their rival the red bulls, 90th minute 00, not anymore. Lloyd sam beats bill hamid, red and black lose 10. Wow. With so much going on with the raines you forget there is actually ravens you forget there is actually a game tomorrow. This is a rivalry game. They hate the steelers. They dont want to go 02 either. Only 12 of teams that go 0 2 make the playoffs. Look at you with the numbers. Wow, the doctor. The mathematician. Not really. Somebody told me that. I just remembered it. He googled it.
