Yesterday, pbs presented thei concert from the west lawn of the capitol. It is an american tradition honoring military service and sacrifice of all of the countries men and women in uniform. Really nice. All right. Lets get back to home here, man, rough weekend. Especially in kensington after someone shot hain killed two siblings. This is just after 9 00 a. M. Yesterday morning, the bodies of the 54 yearold florence tina and her 49 yearold brother were found inside row home that they shared on east clear field street, police say they were both shot in the head no arrests have been made and weapons recovered. The investigation ongoing. For second weekend in a row philadelphia Fire Fighters battling deadly fires, early yesterday Morning House fire claiming the lives of a nine yearold and a seven yearold, and their five twoyear old grandmother. Along north sixth street right where it intersects next to west berk. Fire fighters made a Daring Rescue attempt and carried a nine yearold girl out of the burning building, she later died at hahnemann hospital. Two other bodies were found on the third floor of the home. All right. It was fleet week up in new york and a navy seal member has died after his parachute did not open properly, during this demonstration over hudson river. This is video of, well, now we are showing you video of the hudson river but is there video of the piece of the parachute falling to the ground. Navy seal cut himself loose and splashed in the water. It happened in jersey city across the river from new york city. Man who died was a member of the elite Navy Parachute Team called the leap frogs. Authorities have not yet identified him and right now police are investigating why that par should malfunctioned. After President Trumps First Official trip overseas, there he is, the footage right there. That i was talking about earlier. Thinks part of the parachute someone took video falling to the ground there. He cut himself loose, you know, hoping to cut himself loose at the last possible second where wow survive, falling in the hudson river but the impact was just too much and then parachute float ed in to jersey city. Horrible. President trump is back, a crucial alley, might be losing faith in the partnership with the United States. Im talking about germane Angela Merkel shared word that reverb rated around the world. Listen to what she had to say. She said her country could no longer completely depend on the United States as a reliable partner, we have come to this. It comes after a tense meeting with President Trump, and the group of seven, the g7 summit in italy, the president refused to pledge support for the paris climate accord, he says he will decide next week, he is not sure about climate change, that is what he says. Other six nation as greed on the deal that aims to slow climate change. Well, james comey will get his say, the former fbi director is expect to testify on capitol hill sometime this week, maybe as early as tomorrow. The exact date has not been set but as doug luzader reports from washington anticipation is running high. Oh, yeah. Reporter this may be he said, he said, we know that President Trump and his now former fbi director james come y did have private meetings, even dinner together at the white house and as come before the Senate Intelligence committee to say what he knows. We need to have director comey testify in full, open session before the u. S. Senate so we can ask hard questions, i mean this whole russia thing there are a number of things we failed to get right in the way we analyzed them. Reporter critical question did trump ask comey to drop investigation into possible collusion between the Trump Campaign and kremlin. President says no, but if it happened, did comey refusal lead to his firing . Recent fox news poll says a clear majority of the registered voters 60 percent think that president got rid of comey because the investigation was harming him and comey may have an edge on public perception. 45 percent of voters have, confidence, in the president , verse 79 percent for fbi. On the other hand there was this exchange with comey on may third when asked about the potential interference. Is the attorney general or senior officials at department of justice opposes a specific investigation, can they, halt that fbi investigation . Yes. Has it happened. Not in my experience. It would be a big deal, to tell the fbi to stop doing something that, without a appropriate purpose. Reporter bigger issue for comey may involve his predecessor at fbi robert muhler now special counsel investigating the russia issue it looks like comey will speak to him before he talks to congress. In washington, doug luzader, fox news. All right, doug. 7 14. Congressional democrats are demanding to hear from Top White House advisor Jared Kushner about his dealings with the key russian diplomate Washington Post is report ago this before President Trump took office, kushner made a proposal to a russian am was dor to set up a secret Communications Channel between Transition Team and kremlin. Lawyers for kushner says he is willing to talk to investigators and has always been willing. Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. Today would have been president kennedys 100 birthday. U. S. Postal service will celebrate his life, legacy by dedicating a new jfk postage stamp in massachusetts. In a ceremony this afternoon wreath laying is also planned to honor the 35th president of the United States at his grave site at Arlington National cemetery. He would have been 100. Wow.
