security, what do you think needs to happen in charlottesville tonight? terms of security, to prevent more violence? >> temperatures obviously very high. obviously a lot going on, a lot of attention surrounding it, so i think police are obviously caught in the middle of this. the governor declared a state of emergency, so, you know, right away, calling in, you know, more officials to help on the grounds. so, you know, my guess is they're probably try to cord off the area, probably trying to clear the space they had done before. probably a lot of people watching to make sure there aren't any other incidents, like the car attack that we saw earlier today, assuming that's what it is, i mean, that's an isis-like attack if this is what it is about. so these are the type of things you have to be aware of. >> i haven't heard any talk of possibly a curfew, that would be something that comes to minds, just trying to make sure the situation is under control there during the night? >> i think the fact declared state of emergency, that's obviously also going to bring in other federal help, like the department of homelands security, like the fbi, department of justice, so i think

discussion between federal officials and state and local off initials terms of want to go declare a curfew in the charlottesville area, how they would potentially proceed with that if, in fact, they think they need one. >> how quickly could that happen? how fast could those officials get to charlottesville? >> i mean, there are field offices actually pretty close in that area, whenever it comes to the bureau, some other things like that, so probably are officials already on the ground, atf, others that are looking at these things, so the conversations i'm sure have been underway for several hours. just matter of pulling the trigger, probably the feds want to go work with the state. >> the what are your thoughts on sort of allowing this to go on as long as it did, when you look at the way people are dressed, just on both sides, with the helmets, almost seems like there was an expectation of violence here? >> well, yes. i think there is, there is something there, and i think the idea of the fact they actually had this protest to begin with, certainly everybody has right to protest, but given the fact that temperatures are very shot, that there are so many people on the grounds that i would have liked to see what the thought process was in te

proceed, what the areas were, if you remember some of our political conventions last year, very specific areas where protests were allowed to take place at both the rnc, d in. y. char slots ville maybe doesn't have as much practice, obviously big national attention, big organizations well funded in these protests, i think that's part of this, too. >> of course. thank you so much for joining us, james north on, with the play action group, yes. other other big story tonight, the weather here in our area. the national weather service confirms tornado hit near the community of broad run, fauquier county yesterday evening, the tornado packed winds up to 75 miles per hour, knocked down trees, power lines, caused some minor damage, fortunately, no one was hurt. well this is the first tornado it hit north virginia this summer two, twisters hit the eastern shore of maryland over the past several weeks. >> real had i some wild weather around our area recently. and we will take a live look

protesters were doing neither of that, since there is now state of emergency in effect and the ultimate result of that, so sadly, was helicopter crashed. none of this is absolutely confirmed at this point. there were believed to be two state police officers on board that helicopter. there are some pictures floating around the twitter sphere right now, look like it ended up in a ball of flames in the woods t would be hard to imagine that either every those two police officers would have possibly survived, but let's hope for the best. meanwhile, as you mentioned, this actually all got to motion a few weeks ago, with a person named jason kessler. he runs a blog. he wanted to hold a rag i tonight called unite the right in charlottesville, demonstrating against removal of a confederate statue of general robert e lee. that had been ongoing in charlottesville for quite some time. now, counter protesters obviously got word of that through the internet. and they planned a counter protest called

charlottesville. and they showed up here late last night, it all seemed to erupt earlier today, that is obviously why we are en route right now to charlottesville. that's why all of this mayhem appears to be taking place, as you mentioned, also, car ramming into a crowd, more than 20 injured, and so sadly we're finding out at least one person has died as a result of that. guys? >> just so sad to hear that. and i take it that you are going to continue on your way to charlottesville, joel? >> reporter: yes, we are headed there right from here, hopefully we continue to bring you live reports. >> thank you, we will be checking back in with you. >> stay safe tonight. >> we want to get to some video now of the helicopter crash that joel was mentioning. again, this is not in the district, this is just outside of charlottesville, and near the bird wood golf course. >> see that smoke, billowing up, through the trees there. we've been trying to get more information about what exactly happened, and the condition of the two people believed to be on board of that

give them a call. >> and police want you to take a good look at this man. he's wanted for robbing a business on connecticut avenue in northwest on august 3rd. surveillance video shows the man walking into the business, and talking with a salesperson. at some point, the man pulled out a knife, demanded money. again, police want to hear from you, if you recognize him. a suspected kill here is on the fbi's ten most wanted list is now in custody arrest arrested in virginia, police arrested walter gomez in woodbridge yesterday. he had been on the run from authorities for nearly four years. he's a suspect in the murder of julio matut. that murder took place in maine field, new jersey in 2013. investigators say gomez and another man, members after new jersey gang, commit dollars that murder. the second suspect was caught, and later found guilty. we will continue to bring you more on the situation in charlottesville, again, the governor in virginia has declared a state of emergency after the rallies had turned violent. it was actually declared an unlawful right to assembly,

then there was this violence, a car slamming into some of the people gathered we know one person has died, several others hurt, as many as 26 other people, is what we're hearing at this point, we are awaiting a press conference from virginia state police, police from charlottesville, as well. >> getting ready for that press conference, we will be back with the latest next. why do the best things in life create so much mess! more nights in... more gooey cheesy dishes. more pie plates... more bake sales... so many goodtimes... so many dirty dishes. tackle them all with finish® quantum. even on the toughest messes finish® gives you a unbeatable clean. and now get 25% more loads

the situation. the president has urged china to pressure north korea to halt its nuclear weapons program. china is peung yang's biggest economic partner but it alone cannot get north korea to ends it nuclear ambitions. to the russia investigation, the new york times is reporting special council robert mueller plans tonight view former and current trump administration officials as part of his ongoing investigation, that's expected to include former white house chief of staff, france priebus, mueller reportedly asking for records including detail of specific meetings, with administration, and campaign officials. some of what he's request something related to president trump's firing of former fbi director james comey. >> we want to turn back now to the breaking news that we've been following, in charlottesville, virginia, press conference about to begin we are told thereto bring us to up speed on what's been happening. >> today was a very sad day for our great commonwealth, in the city of charlottesville. we know now three

great commonwealth. shame on you. you pretends that you're patriots but you are anything but a patriots. you want to talk about patriots, talk about thomas jefferson and george washington who brought our country together. you think about the patriots today, the young men and women, who are wearing the clot of our country. somewhere around the globe, they're putting their life in danger. they're patriots. you are not. you came here today to hurt people. and you did hurt people. but my message is clear, we are stronger than you. you have made our commonwealth stronger. you will not succeed. there is no place for you here. there is no place for you in america. we work here today to bring people together

folks. i remind you all that we are a nation of immigrants. unless you're native american, the first ships that came to jamestown, virginia in 1607, and since that time, many people have come to our great country to unite us. our diversity, that mosaic tile of immigrants is what makes us so special. and we will not let anybody come here and destroy it. so please go home and never come back. take your hatred, and take your bigotry. there is no place. and if i could gave you a piece of advice, use your time and energy to help people. come with me to a homeless shelter. come with me to help a veteran find a job or place to live. that's what we need help on, to bring people together. i spoke to the president this afternoon and we had a conversation and i

president that there has got to be a movement in this country to bring people together. the hatred and rhetoric that has gone on and has intensified over the last couple of months is dividing this great nation. we need to work together. i told the president that twice. be willing to work with you if you can work together to bring people together. but stop the hate speech. stop the rhetoric in this country. we've got to bring people together. but we are a great commonwealth. and we are a great nation. and we are even stronger today because of those actions of those people who came with their bigotry and hatred. i now would like tonight deuce the mayor of the city of charlottesville, michael singer. >> thank you, governor. this is one of the worlds' truely great cities. we've been the home of a lot of h

democracy. we've over come mccarthyism, segregation, and we're going to overcome this. this tight of hate tress, bigotry that's that has come to us, that has marched down with torches, the lawn at one of the founders of democracy, it is brought hereby outsiders, and it is brought hereby people who belong in the trash heep of history with these ideas. they'll be in the trash heep of history this day will not define us. we will define this day by the story that we continue to tell tomorrow and the tomorrow after that, the week after that and the year after that. there is a very sad and regretable courseness in our politics that we've all seen too much of today. our opponents have become our enemies. debate has become intimidation watch dem okras is he about here, we know this because we are the birth place of

democracy, about progress, about working together, about at the end of the day if you disagree with somebody, you don't try to take them down. you agree to move forward. these folks do not want that. they do not agree with the rules of democracy, and they are on the losing side of history. the work of rebuilding, of healing, is just beginning today. tomorrow will come and we will emerge, i can promise you, stronger than ever. with that i also want to thank the state government. i want to thank governor mcauliffe, secretary moran for all of their help, my colleagues on the counsel are all here today, thank the charlotte police department, their law enforcement partners from around the state, protecting their residents, visitors, the university of virginia, our hearts break for the casualties, the injuries that have suffered today and our prayers are going out right now. please, sends your prayers to these folks and their families and their loved ones. thank you very much. with that i'm going to turn it over to our city manager, maurice jones, i believe. thank you

>> thank you, mr. mayor. hate came to our town today in a way that we had feared, but we have never really let let ourselves imagine what. i want to start today by thanking the virginia state police, and our law enforcement officers, and all of the first responders are here in charlottesville today to protect our community. the charles lots ville police department and our state partners, the virginia state police, were on the scene in our community very early this morning, anticipating large crowds, our law enforcement was on hand before 10:00 this morning, actually began around 6:00 this morning. and, unfortunately, as we went through this day, we have folks who came here to cause mayhem, and chaos, and mischief. and it resulted in three fatalities here in the city of

charlottesville. in the days and the weeks to come, our city will have many conversations, and city hall, and community centers, and our houses of worship, over our fences, and at our dinner tables. i would ask that in addition to sharing our grief, and looking back at this difficult an extrordinary summer, that we look forward. i would ask that we would consider the question of who we are as a city, and who we wish to be. i would ask that we each seek opportunities to seek people who share our home here in charlottesville, but who are outside of our circles. i would ask that we work to build meaningful relationships, and foster strong connections. city hall will be working with the community to rebuild our structures, and repair damages. and we will also work to provide opportunities for our community to come together to mourn, connect, and move forward. but city hall cannot build the bonds between neighbors or

create new friendships. i'm calling on each one of our residents, not only here in the city of charlottesville, but in the charlottesville area, to come together, and take all of this into our hearts, and our daily lives today. and to begin healing, as a community. if we all come together, we cannot fall apart. we will be with you, and we will be beside you, as together we right the next chapter in charlottesville's history. thank you. >> thank you, mr. jones. chief al thomas, charlottesville police department. good evening. the premeditated violence that our community experienced today was completely unacceptable, the situation escalated rapidly into violence, and we had no choice but to deploy additional personnel, virginia state police, the virginia

guard, to help disperse the crowd and move people safely through the streets. none of the injuries sustained today were due to engagement with law enforce: as of late this afternoon, there have been at least 35 people treated for injuries by city personnel. fourteen people have been treated for injuries resulting from individual engagements, non-pedestrian were treated for injuries in a three-vehicle crash at the intersection of fourth street and water street here in downtown charlottesville. their injuries range from life threatening to minor. the crash also claimed the life after 32 year old female pedestrian at the intersection as she was crossing the street. we are still in the process of notified her next of kin. so we will not be releasing her information until that takes place. as a courtesy to the family. the suspect's vehicle that left the scene of the crash was located moments later, and the male driver is in

with charges pending. we are currently treating this as a criminal homicide investigation. also want to extend my appreciation to the many individuals who witnessed a crash for helping us by providing statements, photos, and video evidence. again, the crash remains under investigation. so where do we go from here? for right now, we're encouraging people to return home. please let our city of charlottesville, our home, start to recover from this. what the world saw today, is not the place charlottesville is. we love our city. let us heal. this is not our story. outsiders do not tell our story. we will tell our own story. as is common place, we will be reviewing the events of the day over the next weeks and months. we are committed to providing our residents with a strong, safe

in partners in our community. thank you. >> they were killed after -- >> we just heard that press conference, confirmation that three people have died in charlottesville. what's not clear, though, is where these people died. it wasn't clear if this was during that car crash, or they were including two people who died aboard that helicopter, that crash, while responding to the scene. >> charlottesville police chief there saying 32 year old female crossing the street hit by a vehicle was among the dead. we heard there were 21st responders killed in the helicopter crash, possibly the other two deaths there. and then 35 people injured, all at the hands of protesters, counter protesters, and the violence that sprung up today. also, worth noting is the governor's strong wording that he

supremecist, go home, you are not patriots. >> we are stronger than you. and calling out white supremecist and nazis by name and telling them you are not welcome in charlottesville. you are not welcome in virginia. >> in contract to some of the are president has been taking he gave remarks today condemning the violence and saying that we need unity, but did he not use those terms, white supremecist, nazis, so the governor very quick to come out with that strong language and use that again today. again, we will be continuing to follow this, just horrific situation, down there. and have more for when you we come back.

oh boy. looking for adventure this summer? holy smokes. oh man, that's pretty intense. look no further than chevrolet. this is a fast car. i feel like i left my soul back there. wow. this has power! what a nice car. go for thrilling drives and deals today at the chevy summer drive. now through august 14th, get 20% below msrp on all chevy malibu lt models. that's over fifty-three hundred dollars

on many sides, has been going on for a long time in our country, not donald trump, not barack obama back, it has been going on for long, long time. it is no place in america ... >> as you heard there, president trump denounced today's violent protests in charlottesville, but there was some criticism over the language that he used or perhaps did not use in his statements. >> for closer look we are turning to political strategist, thank you so much for joining us, tough day today. this is really just some horrific news we've been dealing with out of charlottesville, at least one person killed, and attacked there. all of this over the removal of a confederate statue, led to these rallies, protests, people coming into town there, the virginia governor used some pretty strong language, talking about white supremecist, nazis, you're not patriots, get out of our state, get out of our town.

president's response today? >> i thought it was absolutely lackluster. >> i thought it was lackluster, i think it was, frankly, demeaning of the offers, and i think the deafening silence, before he even made a statement, is also incredibly telling. this is the man who campaigned in part on arguing the president barack obama wasn't born in this country. this is a man who has dog whistled his way to the white house. and if you think about who his base; many of the people marching, many of the people saying hillary clinton trump, the people who voted for him. >> common. the president's statement is so clear watch do you want him to do, use on scene language? his statement as clear as anything. look, the tragedy here is that the psychos, the nazis, all of these people will take this and use it like al quaida in a recruiting video, what i mate this. not to politicize this, the guy who dropped the ball is the governor. he knew where this was coming. there was a hearing yesterday. >> jack, jack, no, come on. >> the governor should have had the national guard there in position. the guard's job was to prevent

or anybody hurting the nazis. >> i thought people -- >> them too, them too. >> how about we hold accountable -- >> interesting, prominent republicans have come out on twitter, marco rubio saying the president should call this what it is, terror attack. >> chairman, chuck lastly, said the same thing, jeb bush said the same thing. >> colorado senator. >> absolutely. >> we have a right to freedom of speech. we have a right to protect ourselves, we do not have right to violence, just unnecessary. >> well said. >> i don't oppose ramp up the rhetoric, i support rubio, terror attack, but trump's statement wasn't as strong, it is very clear, when we start criticizing trump because he doesn't choose the highest level -- >> we need to think about why piece people feel em bold ends to take to the streets in 2017. >> you want to get into deeper discussion. >> why these people think that donald trump is their president, and why they were chanting his name today? this campaign that was so vicious, and so ugly. >> sure, you're blaming trump for today, for

are you blaming trump? >> let me finish the statement and then you can responds. i'm blaming this president's rhetoric, this ugly, disgusting rhetoric coming from this president, absolutely contributed to the em bold ends, people thinking it is except tonight do this in 2017. >> you're seeing the problem, i tell you one guy i thought of today and that's barack obama. he had an opportunity to move us -- >> you literally in the green room you would try to find a way to blame barack obama, now you're about to do it. >> look, we need to move to post racial society. obama had a right to do that. the black-white conflict, white-black conflict, all of that is silly olds, needs to be pushed into the past. >> i'm sorry, i'm sore. >> i we need a leaders to move us -- >> you say that to african-americans every day are affected by disproportion at, tell that to families that are dealing with structural ricinism this country, racism still affecting how black americans -- >> very difficult to argue. >> for you to say on this couch we need to put behind the black and white differ snide. >> we do. >> coming from such an incredible place of privilege,

from. >> barack obama ranas unite err not divider, so did george bush, none of them succeed in the uniting the country. >> going back to the words, the words that are used, and i thought about barack obama in president trump's criticism of him, for not using the words radical, islamic terror, and how that was a big part of the rhetoric that we heard, you know, several years ago, and now, we've switched, and he's receiving criticism for -- >> it is a bit of apples and orange story, most foreign policy pro, in part, we didn't need our allies in the middle east, a lot of those alice including saudi arabia and others, i think bit after different conversation, foreign policy versus name wag the kkk is, which is -- >> on the ones hand, zero you spends a year blaming trump for always using the highest level most harsh rhetoric, now saying well he didn't. why isn't he using even more harsh rhetoric. >> which is it?
