We know we are dealing with the the oppressive heat and humidity. Today is day seven. Weather by numbers on the scale of one to ten it will be a seven. Stay hydrated, stay safe, hazy center city skies line, lot the current temperature of 78. But it already feels like 80 degrees. By this afternoon it will feel like triple ding its. Ninetyfive center city. Ninety down the shore. Ninetythree in Lehigh Valley. Pop up showers and thunderstorms some of which could be strong to severe later in the afternoon and evening. Coming up we will have time of that lust when to expect a break from this heat, bob. 7 03 as we get rolling on a tuesday, delays southbound lanes have route one an overturned tractor trailer in lawrence, new jersey. It is on the ramp from route one to go south on i95, double accidents on 295, at the moment, one at florence columbus, another one further south at mount holly, willingboro and a accident north on 309, at susquehanna off to the shoulder causing a delay for anyone exiting the turnpike and heading north on 309. Heres a live look at i95 right here inner girard in the work zone extra heavy southbound jammed up from cottman all the waste into downtown that earlier accident in center city off to the shoulder, it put 40 minutes on the clock there cottman into center city. She served as pennsylvanias top Law Enforcement official and thousand Kathleen Kane, well, guilt on all charges. Now that she has been quick will she step down as state attorney general . Who will replace her. Steve, how does this work, explain. She could stay on until sentencing. Reporter yeah, under the state constitution they allow you not to resign after a convictions for fell any until the day you are sentenced. She made no comment. She left out of the back door but she soon could go in the front gate of the state penitentiary. Look at the situation that we have here and it seemed that we had somebody who felt that she was above the law and that is not the case because in one is a above the law. The verdict, convictions on all counts was a crushing blow and i will not say otherwise but we have in the lost our resolve. We will tip this litigation. We will continue this fight because we believe that our client has been wrongfully accused this misconduct. Reporter that lawyer was asked if she will resign she said that will be sorted out in the coming days. Now look the governor and everybody else wanted her to resign when she was indicted last year. She said i will in the resign, that would say im guilty and im not guilty. She still thinks shes not guilty, sheila peel this. She may lincoln until today shes sentenced and they may push that back beyond 90 days that the judge said it will happen in. My goodness. 7 06. A new report about Seth Williams accusing our Philadelphia District attorney of not disclosing more than 160,000 worth of gifts. It is information that was left out of the a mandatory financial statement. The Philadelphia Inquirer and daily news reports those gifts range from personal to professional, the gifts were accepted between the years 2010 and 2015. Seth williams Attorney Says he thought that some of these gift did not need to be disclosed because they came from close friends. Penalties for failing to report cans a high as 1,000 under city ethics rules. We have two papers and two it looks like they are backward and im not on camera anyway. Eventually i will be. We have kane on the inquirer are and daily news we have Seth Williams and this guy, jeff cole those both stories. I was, New York Times reporting this as well, for Kathleen Kane. Kane story is a National Story good for sure. This is highest prosecutor, the highest law maker in the commonwealth of pennsylvania. Shes now a quick felon. She will come under tremendous pressure now to resign. I know reporting is that she isnt forced to, governor has called for it. Would i listen for bob casey, the democratic senator from this state to call for her resign, that will be a major step. Remember where this all comes from, all right. Frank fina she believes is as a prosecutor, she believes he gives inquirer a story that she wouldnt go after democrats in philadelphia caught on tape taking gifts. She believes that fina is guy that leaked that story to the inquirer. She wants to go after him. Where does this end up . With her convictions of lying to a grand jury in her efforts to release information to soil him. It seems so petty. Not only does it seem petty, it is. There is in question about it. And now look. Now she has been quick, there is in question of this. This is a tremendous down fall. Were you surprised by how fast it happened. Reporter they did not put up a witness, and she didnt take the stan. In the fattah trial where federal government had a tremendous case against him they offered up character witnesses. That didnt happen here. It became a vice. I thought injury would i go home last night. 5 00 oclock they go home. When they stayed until the night and got themselves dinner you know there was a problem. Our ken rottweiler, our legal analyst, he texted me and said he thinks that she might actually go to prison for like 18 months or so are you hearing that. I have not heard that. Shes heavily exposed when you lie to the grand jury here. First time offender, sometimes you are able to walk away, accelerated rehabilitation, this is the sitting attorney general. Certainly shes exposed. You are kevin steel the ka in Montgomery County who brought this case. She doesnt even have a law license. She does not have a license. What will she do. It was stripped from her. Shes holding the title. She can do it. She says i can run office, administrative thing. The bruce castor, the former d. A. , he wanted to be attorney general. That is right. Got beat by corbett in the primary. He in essence will be the defacto attorney general and he will talk about it this afternoon at 1 00. Kathleen kane will come under tremendous pressure to get the heck out. What is this story. This is williams apparently forgotting he got a 45,000 roof from a new jersey building which is reporting. He reports this, you know, in a new form to is the state and city officials yesterday. This is what 160, 165,000 in gifts he had had reported. Remember here there had been reports that the federal government is looking at this. That the federal government is looking at this. So, williams yesterday at the end of the day, it is reported and apparently he puts this report in, he does not talk yet. I happened to know him, and we will chase him hard to see if he would speak to that. These are all personal close friend. Some of them, others were not close friend. There is a richard hoy, who is an attorney i know, very active in the traffic court, certainly the claims new will be made that these are folks will be, who were seeking favors, that is why they did this, that could be the allegation. We will hear what williams has to say and that is significant as well. Remember this is the District Attorney in the city of philadelphia who is reporting gifts. Attorney general, District Attorney. They dont like each other no more. That is right. She comes for him, right. Yes. He says you will in the prosecute the democrats in the city of philadelphia, then i will, and he does largely and they are at lagger head. Ironically they are on the front page of separate papers. From a Good Government perspective, this is not good for the commonwealth of pennsylvania in anyway. Bad morning here. Im sure you will be on this all day, jeff cole. We will look forward to more on this. Thank you. 7 11. Did you hear this Hillary Clinton will come back to philadelphia, over in West Philadelphia. A lot of folks here. Were important to her.

I have centimeters an it felt very high to me but to within of your guys it is not as high. It is very individual. Are you people. Feel good, people. Everybody has deficiencies. No you are fine. Any strength whatsoever thaw saw. We have to look at the read out and we have not seen that just yet. With your own eyes i have to say, strength and conditioning coach, you see nothing there.

You get your read out and your work out goes to your phone, individual work out. When you look at athletes like the gymnastic teams, their muscle they are head to toe solid, those are things you will go to an elite level so you can necessity where you can get better.

Yes. Last night. After four years of training he is down in the blocks, ready, right. Shoot off the gun and shoots twice. Somebody did something wrong. If you screw up in a false start you are out. Parentally people say you had two but they recently change that. Now you only have one and you are done. Lets take a look at it. Lets just take a look. An obvious false start one false start and you are out. We have been relatively false start free but you can tell knew that he committed the biggest mistake of his career. He is out of the Olympic Games. Keep it going because he will rip off his number. I just want to cry. My god. Work so hard for something. Oh, hand he will get up and he will just be so upset. He is ripping off. After all these years of training. To have your family and country watching. You have to feel for him. What do they do they try to get a jump on everybody else. He went too early. He knew when it happened. You were confused. Instead of charged with his first false start with the second disqualifying runner they are out after the first time. I cant imagine. They say biggest mistake. They are not saying. You might say well he can get back again. He has to start all over. He will be back in four years. I necessity. Yes. Scott, seriously. I feel for him.
