Northbound on the freeway, heavy from the black horse pike into 295. Everything is wet. Now, again, Mother Nature kind of gives free little car wash, yucky white stuff is zero all gone from your carp, roads are wet, north and west of the city though still slushy. Delays on the following Regional Rail lines this morning, equipment problems on the market frankford line, three separate accidents on the bypass, right near the Chester County airport, and right here, this area, north and west of the city, even though the rain is melting some of the snow, it is still icy. So, weve had about a dozen accidents in areas north and west of the city. So dont let Mother Nature fool you. It is still wet. But it could be slippery from that melting snow. Just under half hour inbound, on the schuylkill expressway. Mike and alex back over to you. Well, thank you, bob. 7 04. Donald trump will hold his first News Conference as president elect today. And were learning that top intelligence officials met with him and president obama last week. And informed them that return a had compromising information about trump, really inform them of a report that they had this information. Well, donald trump immediately took to twitter pushing back against the explosive unverified report, posting fake news, the total political witch hunt. It is important as we go to you that public list report in its entirety, allegations are unverified. There are somer ores in this report. Reporter thats right. This is apparently preached by private entity doing political research. This is an identified former British Intelligence offers here came up with this. But apparently according to these many reports out there this is something that Us Intelligence officials thinks comes from credible source. It doesnt mean theyre verified everything in it, some of these allegation it is theyre true would certainly be embarrass to go donald trump, and potentially blackmail material. There was also some information unearthed about hillary clinton, and according to the Washington Post anyway one of the things that the Us Intelligence officials trying to do is present this case that russian intelligence officials kind of had dirt on both clinton and clinton and decided to release just the clinton material because they were favoring trump in the election. Did that affect the outcome of course we just dont know. But nevertheless, this is going to be a big topic for this Trump Press Conference today. Isnt it specially because theyre saying, officials are saying, they brief president obama and president elect donald trump. Then Kelly Ann Conway saying no he doesnt know about this and he wasnt briefed . Yes, curious to hear her last night on late night with set myers says that. Because by all indications he was briefed about this. Now whether he was aware that far or not, it is not entirely clear. Trump himself is not saying he wasnt aware of it but he is saying this is fake news as far as buzz feed is concerned. Certainly has raised some eyebrows, among journalists the fact that buzz bye would put the actual report, the actual classified report, out there, but nevertheless, if any of this is true, it is a big, big deal. Suddenly this press conference that we out thought would focus on trump business ties will really focus on Something Else entirely. What were some of the things alleged . Sexual in nature . Yes. And i guess well just leave it there. Yes, about a three page, three page document. And, yes, i mean, if it is true, it is certainly embarrassing. Embarrassing. But we dont know at this point if it is true. But nevertheless it is an explosive document. And this isnt anything new, right, doug . This has been circling around for little bit . Well, theyre saying that these reports have been circulating around washington for awhile. I had never seen them before. And certainly they never reached the light of day as far as main stream media is concerned. But, it is out there now. And the way this is described in the Washington Post anyway, this is provided to trump as courtesy, hey, listen, fyi, this stuff is out there. Thought you should know about it. Yes, okay. That makes this press conference even more interesting coming up in four hours, thank you, doug. And it is interesting because other Media Outlets are not posting the actual report. Theyre just reference g in general summary. But on buzz feed, when i looked at it, it was about 35 pages. And it has everything. Some of the stuff highlighted and everything else. And they say they did that because it is not is her Philadelphia International airport, they admitted they havent independently allegations but want the American People to decide whether they want to believe some of the allegations in it. Okay. Some buzz feed . Buzz feed, yes. President obama bids farewell last night in chicago after eight years as commander in chief with about an hour long speech. If something needs fixing, then lays up your shoes and do some organizing. If soar area disappointed by youre elected official, grab a grab a clipboard, run for officer yourself. President obama highlighted and defended his administration legacy warned of divided nation. Also choked back tears at times. And it was toward the end of his speech right, lauren, he was talking about his wife and his children. Absolutely, around 8 45, to be exact. So eight years ago, the crux of the campaign was chained. Eight years later, as the president says his final goodbyes to the nation, some that far change happens. But he acknowledges there should be so much more. He says, all of us have a part to play. A heros welcome as president barack obama returned to the place where his political career started. Tonight it is my turn to say thanks. In his farewell speech, the president touted some of his accomplishments over the past eight years. From reversing the great recession, to shutting down irans Weapons Program. If i told that you we would win Marriage Equality, and secure for another 20 million of our fellow citizens. While fighting his achievements, mr. Obama warm when it comes to racial al economic equality americas democracy still faces serious threats. Were not where we need to be. All every just more work to do. If every economic issue is framed as hard working white middle class and un deserving minority, then workers of all shades are going to be left fighting for scraps while the wealthy would drawer further into their private conclave. Even tender moments as he shed a tear while honoring the first laid. I past 25 years you have not only been my wife, and mother of my children, you have been my best friend. Before returning to private life, the president offering a final message about the importance of public service. If something needs fixing, then lays up your shoes and do some organizing. If youre disappointed by youre elected official, grab a clipboard, run for office yourself. Show up. Dive in. He basically challenged all of us to be the change we want to see in the worlds. Tell vice the speech lasted shy after hour. After mr. Obamas successor, he made only a passing reference to his incoming president. One key figure, who was not there, was his other daughter. People kept putting out on twitter where is sasha . Malea is there. Where is sasha. She is the youngest daughter, 15 years old. So it was trending at one point, trying to figure it out. I mean, we saw everyone up there. We even saw the bidens, waving, saying goodbye to the American People. But the white house says that sasha was at home studying for an exam this morning. And now, interesting conversation, do you think, i mean, pretty big moment in her fathers life, american history, do you think she should have been there . Maybe could the exam have wait in the remember First Lady Michelle Obama her goal was to make this as very normal life, as normal as possible for her chin while they were in the white house maybe this is part of it, hey you have an exam, do you have stay home. Whether it comes to this president , you cant win either way. Thats true. She should stay home and be good example for other 15 year old, study for this test, not be special, fly to chicago because she had a test. Other people will say no, it is a big moment in history. It is a good history lesson. Should have brought the other kid along. True. Okay. Lets mover along.

Im just happy hes safety point. The bus driver has been fired and charged with endangering the welfare after child. Police say he also had marijuana on him at the time. Bads news all the way around there. Dylann roof sentenced to death yesterday for killing nine worshippers at the Charleston South Carolina church in a racially motivated attack. Hes the first person to face execution, for a federal hate crime. I was surprised by that, ken rotweiler, first person for hate crime. Absolute i. Last federal excuse was in 2003. So it has been a while. But lets talk about this dylann roof for a minute. Because listen to what he d i mean, we all kind of know the story. But this hit me last night when i was talking taking a look at this, he entered the Mother Emanuel Church and sat with the Bible Study Group for 40 minutes, actually looked at them, like converse with them, then took out his gun, shot all nine of them, a total of 75 times, he reloaded seven times, stood over them, put bullets in them. He showed no remorse yesterday at the hearing. No apology. No explanation. No excuse. Represented himself in. Represented himself. Put his lawyers on the side, lawyers, you are not going to be doing this procedure, im going to be doing t the prosecutor argue for the Death Penalty for over two hours, dylann roof got up and talk for five minutes, totally incoherent, made no apology, no remorse. Didnt he say i feel like he had to do it. Yep, he said i feel like i had to do it. The jury out for three hours. Were you surprised by that . No. Seems like three hours . No. All of the evidence the fact he admitted to it, had a man fist tow . You think thats long . Is that long. No. If they come back in 15 minute, they would have said it was too short. Three hours sounds about the right amount of time. No question of his guilt. And the fact he had no remorse and everything else, crazy. The lawyer he had by the way one of the most distinguished Death Penalty lawyers in the country. And he basically sat didnt use him . No. Made him sit on his hand and said you cant speak at all. Matter of fact, remember that woman down south who her children went into the lake, fleet children died . Yes. He represented, that lawyer represented her. And what happened with her is when her Death Penalty phase, she basically sprawled herself on the table and cried and was remorseful, it all kind of hit her that she killed her children. Is that susan smith. I think it was. That affect a jury had they see that amount of remorse, when they will say okay you go to prison for the rest of your life, no bar old. Which is more of a penalty that un ex including somebody. My view. There will be appeals it, will go on for years and years and years. You wont hear about dylann roof being put to death for probably a decade. Wow. Hasnt he said though hes casino every indicated he wanted to die. All of his statements indicate did he want to die. There is automatic appeals this these, too, not like he has to appeal. Law requires this automatic appeals, automatic review of the proceeding. The fact he did rep summer heff sever doug the penalty face, a big one for appeal. Whats the big line . Represent yourself you have a fool for a client. I got that one. Good im still awake. Thank you, ken. 7 17. Heres sue. Back again. Weve got a look see the brief unscripted appearance. All right, tomorrow, the record high for philadelphia, has been standing for 127 years. And it doesnt look particular will be broken. Because it is 72 degrees. But these are some record highs for tomorrows date, january 12th. That have a chance of being tide or broken. Atlantic city, wilmington, at 63, allentown, at 60, and reading 61, snows records have already been standing for quite a long time, over 100 years, in some cases. We will see what happens tomorrow. In the meantime warmfront one moved off the coast. Getting ready for number two, that moves in tonight. After we get to around 50 degrees today, which is rather pleasant, compared to the way it was over the weekends, and on monday, so the rain rolls in after sunset tonight. Rains on and off throughout the night. Few downpours at times. But it is gone by about 3 00 or 4 00 in the morning, then chance to get to up that 63 degrees in philadelphia. Maybe blake a few records in some places, so today say upper 40s, maybe 50. Lower 60s tomorrow. Then we cool off on friday with a cold front. Then it gets little unsettled at least to start the weekends with a possibility of some snow in the morning on saturday. We have to see what happens with that storm. But it, does look at this point like it will dry out for the rest of the holiday weekends and be seasonable, bob kelly, reasonable for january, 40, 42. Good, not bad. Good morning, everybody, got accident here. This of the northbound lanes of blue route. Right when you come out of the midcounty toll plaza. This fellow here, looks like a van on the opposite side of the concrete barrier. Wife got blue skies in Chester County, black ice everywhere, this is shot of the 30 bypass, bumper to bumper to bumper, all because of three separate accidents, all near the Chester County airport. So dont let Mother Nature fool you on the overnight, yes, we did get some rain. The driveways wet. But the grounds temperature hasnt made it to the air temperature. So were still iced over with black ice and a lot of the counties, like near pottstown, mog ers mill road shutdown, it is actually a development, not letting the moms and dads out with their car. They are letting the school buses in, in order to pick the kids up but not allowing any vehicles to pass by the accident scene. One example of the rough go were having here this morning.
