Unless he can come up with serious cash thats where he will be staying. A judge doubled victor bennetts bail to 2 million at a hearing this morning. We counted at least 20 Camden CountyPolice Officers on hand for todays hearing. Among them was officer prince reed, seen here leaving the courtroom. Police say bennett shot reed last wednesday night on kenwood avenue while the officer was working undercover. Officer reed took a bullet fragment in the arm. Authorities captured bennett after a chase in collingswood. Prosecutors want to make sure this man stays locked up. With regard to whether or not the defendant is a flight risk i dont think theres any question that hes a flight risk in this case. He was already fleeing the streets of collingswood with a loaded hand gun on a Holiday Weekend on friday afternoon in broad daylight. Hes clearly a danger to the community. Even though officer reed was wounded he searched for the suspect before heading to the hospital for treatment. We are now learning what offices fbi agents raided last week at allentown city hall. Doug shimell is live at city hall. What did you uncover . Reporter allentown has become a modern day boom town with tens of millions of dollars of new Development Money flowing into the city and the feds are apparently on some sort of money trail that appears to be centered right here at city hall. The fbi simultaneously went to different departments inside allentown city hall last week. They didnt ask questions of anybody. They told people what to do. They told some employees to leave their work areas while they were searching their desks and that kind of thing. Reporter solicitor susan wild says the feds spent their time going through the Mayors Office as well as the offices of the managing director and city controller. I can surmise from the areas that they looked at that they are looking at the citys contracting process, how we give contracts to vendors and that kind of thing.

I dont think that the fbi wastes its time investigating a mayor of pennsylvanias Third Largest city unless they are very serious about something.

But a wider view shows the area of low pressure off to the west. Thats creating all the thunderstorm activity off to our west and south. Locally, we have been on the drier side of this. I think this evening we should at least start to see a few more thunderstorms flare up through the area. I dont think everybody will see this. Right now, temperatures are in about the mid 80s and it is humid outside. Making it feel a little hotter. For this evening by 6 00 p. M. Still the chance of a thunderstorm low 80s. By 8 00 still the chance for a stray thunderstorm. Chances in the upper 70s. By 10 00, it will get muggy. It stays humid overnight and we could see locally dense fog developing. Mostly patchy fog.

A dry town in Camden County may soon allow craft breweries. Collingswood announced an ordinance that could be approved as soon as august. Microbreweries wouldnt need liquor licenses. Some restaurants are concerned the breweries would eventually be allowed to serve food which would then give them an advantage. Happening right now. President obama at the pentagon to speak after receiving an update on the isis terror threat. Lets listen in now. Isil is opportunistic and it is nimble. In many places in syria and iraq including urban areas, its dug in among innocent situatecivilian populations. It will take time to root them out. It must be the job of local forces on the ground with training and air support from our coalition. As with any military effort there will be periods of progress but there are also going to be some setbacks as we have seen with isils gains in ramadi and iraq and central and southern syria. But today its also important for us to recognize the progress thats been made. Our coalitions now hit isil with more than 5,000 air strikes. We have taken out thousands of fighting positions, tanks, vehicles, bomb factories and training camps. We have eliminated thousands of fighters, including senior isil commanders. Over the past year we have seen that when we have an effective partner on the ground isil can be pushed back. In iraq isil lost at the mosul dam. Isil lost at mt. Sinjar. Isil has lost repeatedly across at tikrit. All together they have lost more than a quarter of the Populated Areas it had seized in iraq. In syria, isil lost at kobani. It recently endured losses across Northern Syria including a key city. Denying isil a vital supply route to roqqa, its base of operations in syria. These are reminders that their strategic weaknesses are real. Isil is surrounded by countries and communities committed to its destruction. It has no air force. Our coalition owns the skies. Isils backed by no nation. It relies on fear sometimes executing its own disillusioned fighters. Its unrestrained brutality often alien alienates those under its rule creating new enemies. In short their losses in iraq and syria prove that isil can and will be defeated. Indeed, we are intensifying our efforts against isil based in syria. Our air strikes will continue to target the oil and gas facilities that fund so much of their operations. We are going after the isil leadership and infrastructure in syria. The heart of isil that pumps funds and propaganda to people around the world. Partnering with other countries, sharing more information, strengthening laws and Border Security allows us to work to stem the flow of foreign fighters to syria as well as iraq. And to stem obviously the flow of those fighters back into our own countries. This continues to be a challenge and working together all nations are going to need to do more but we are starting to see some progress. We are going to continue to crack down on isils illicit finance around the world. By the way, if Congress Really wants to help in this effort they can confirm our nominee for treasure undersecretary to lead this effort. This is a vital position to our Counter Terrorism efforts. Nobody suggests he is not qualified. He is highly qualified. Unfortunately, his nomination has been languishing up on the hill and we need the senate to confirm him as soon as possible. Meanwhile, we continue to ramp up our training and support of local forces that are fighting isil on the ground. As ive said before this aspect of our strategy was moving too slowly but the fall of ramadi has galvanized the Iraqi Government so with the additional steps i ordered last month we are speeding up training of isil forces including volunteers from sunni tribes in anbar province. More sunni volunteers are coming forward. Some are already being trained and they can be a new force against isil. We continue to accelerate the delivery of critical equipment including antitank weapons to Iraqi Security forces. Including the peshmerga and tribal fighters. I made it clear to my team that we will do more to train and equip the moderate opposition in syria. Now, all this said our strategy recognizes that no amount of military force will end the terror that is isil unless its matched by a broader effort. Political and economic. That addresses the underlying conditions that have allowed isil to gain traction. They have filled a void and we have to make sure that as we push them out, that void is filled. So as iraqi cities and towns are liberated from isil we are working with iraq and the United Nations to help communities rebuild the Security Services and governance that they need that we continue to support the efforts of the Prime Minister to forge an inclusive, effective Iraqi Government that unites all the people of iraq shia sunni, kurds and all minority communities. In syria, the only way the civil war will end and in a way so that the Syrian People can unite against isil is an inclusive political transition to a new government without bashar al assad. A government that serves all syrians. I discussed this with our Gulf Cooperation Council partners at camp david and during my recent call with president putin. I made it clear the United States will continue to work for such a transition. A glimmer of good news is i think an increasing recognition on the part of all the players in the region that given the extraordinary threat that isil poses, it is important for us to Work Together as opposed to at crosspurposes to make sure that an inclusive Syrian Government exists. While the focus of our discussions today was on iraq and syria, isil obviously also poses a great threat beyond the region. In recent weeks we have seen deadly attacks in tunisia, kuwait and egypts sinai peninsula. We see a growing isil presence in libya and attempts to establish footholds across north africa, the middle east the caucuses and southeast asia. We have seen attacks in ottawa sydney, france and copenhagen. I call on the International Community to unite against this scourge of violent extremism. In this fight, the United States continues to lead. When necessary to prevent attacks against our nation we will take direct action against terrorists. We will continue to also partner with nations from afghanistan and nigeria to build up their security forces. We will work day and night with allies and partners to disrupt terrorist networks and thwart attacks and to smother nascent isil cells that may be trying to develop in other parts of the world. This also includes remaining vigilant in protecting against attacks here in the homeland. Now, i think its important for us to recognize the threat of violent extremism is not restricted to any one community. Here in the United States we have seen all kinds of homegrown terrorism and tragically recent history reminds us how even a single individual motivated by a hateful ideology with a
