panhandle of west virginia. that one shower in the panhandle passing north of winchester, maybe near hagerstown and frederick over the next hour or so. still may be leaping over some of the puddles from yesterday's rain. occasional sprinkles midmorning to early afternoon. temperatures holding steady in the upper 50s to near 60 degrees, a blustery wind. rain chances hour by hour through the day and the next ten days in just a few minutes. >>> the "today" show coming up next for you on nbc 4. >> 15 minutes away from the start of that, schenley jones craig melvin joining us live from new york. >>> coming up on a saturday morning on "today" we have breaking news about a massive hacking attack targeting the front runner of the french presidential campaign that's rattling that nation this morning. the breach a reminder of our own election comes just hours ahead of theirs. we will take you there live. >>> also this morning we will take a look at the investigation into our own presidential campaign with new revelations

also coming up this hour, we will hear from the coal mining community in west virginia, who say they are already seeing a revival, thanks to president donald trump. locks are back. they are up for auction. more on that on the way. first, our top story live from paris. outgoing french president francois hollande gave his final speech today in a ceremony to mark the end of slavery. he was standing there alongside the newly elected incoming president, emmanuel macron. here is more from president hollande and what he had to say. crime canis terrible we make a population and a new simulation -- a new civilization emerged. it gave rise to new forms of art and culture that are rich and diverse. abject racism, a form of universalism was born, a phenomenon a poet once called the -- genie: james andre is at the luxembourg tartans in paris or talk us through the importance of the ceremony marking the end of slavery. s: it is an important ceremony, created in 2006, and it was after a vote was held for a law in parliament making france a country that recognizes the crimes it had committed. it is

and then into west virginia and the panhandle of maryland as well. this is futurecast. this model is a little bit more of the excited version of the model versus some of the model that are a little less excited. this shows it already by 4, 5:00, we've got some scattered thunderstorms popping up. these of which are ahead of the main batch of thunderstorms. this will be around the i-81 corridor at 4, 5, 6:00. then we go later into the evening. this is 7:00, this is the main wave of thunderstorms with that straight line wind threat and that isolated hail and tornado threat coming into the immediate metro area. i was saying earlier, even this morning i put it out on twitter, 6 p.m. is about the east thunderstorms around. it looks like for most of us it will be 7, 8, 9:00 when you're hopefully already home that we've got these thunderstorms moving through. so futurecast, the last line of showers dying thunderstorms, it's pushing through around midnight tonight. by tomorrow morning, you're out of the picture and we've got a better afternoon tomorrow. thund

in places like the 6th district where i live, pennsylvania, west virginia and kentucky. and had the clean power plan not been stopped you're talking about thousands of more jobs and higher skyrocketing utility rates. so i think you're going to see coal jobs stabilize and then begin to trickle back up. >> former new york -- >> i don't know how long it takes. >> former new york city mayor bloomberg in "washington post," the fact is putting coal miners back to work is no more possible than from a business standpoint than telegraph operators back to work taking morse code or eastman kodak employees back for film rolls. politicians who ignore the market realities and make promises to coal communities they can't keep are engaging in something worse than a con, telling the communities in effect, the best hope they have and the children have is trapped in a dying industry that will poison them. >> well, that is clearly an ideological point of view. he's ignoring the fact you read off of that chart a few minutes ago that still a third of america's power is provided by the coal in

i've got an idea -- let's flee through west virginia. and why? to save the army. we cannot let this army be destroyed. and look how far we are from our supply line. only one rag -- only one wagon train made it to hunter. that's how much the guerrilla presence was. he's not wrong. they literally ran out of ammunition. they are waiting, taking the time, doing things like burning down large parts of lexington and so forth, so the supply trance can keep up with them. we think about the union army being all-powerful and equipped, but by this time, they are the ones in enemy territory. hunter, to his credit, says he is saving the army to fight again another day rather than the captured by an army that they think is much larger. you can see lynchburg is even more important because lynchburg has a canal and a railroad. this railroad runs all the way down into tennessee and is a major supply line for lee. grant says if we can just get lynchburg for one day, that's all he needed, if we could break a for that long. one of the union generals said that would not happen. they w

our friends from back home, the miners from virginia and from west virginia, and from indiana, and from ohio, and from all around this country who if you remember my colleague joe manchin was there, that hot day this summer when it was 100 degrees outside and all of these retired miners, many in their 70's, 80's, some in their 90's were here on one of the hottest days of the year under extraordinarily difficult conditions, and they stayed and sat in the sun and in the heat because they said we're here for our brothers and sisters. and they said we know you're here for us, too. and our leader was joe manchin. he lived this every single day, every single conversation that we had. we were in it together and we told our miners, we will never stop till we get this done and we have the permanent health care fix done. and it was a wonderful team to work with, but there's no question that the captain of our team was a fellow from west virginia. to my colleague joe manchin, we're so proud of you and so proud of you for keeping us moving forward. thank you, mr. president. a senator: plop? the pre
