President obama is trying to sell his nuclear deal with iran to the american people. Edward lawrence tells us this is a tough sell here at home. President obama defends a Nuclear Agreement with iran saying preventing them from getting a nuclear bomb remains priority number one. Either the issue of iran obtaining a Nuclear Weapon is resolved diplomatically through negotiation or its resolved through force. Hes also selling the deal to lawmakers by saying the inspections in iranian mines will be enough. If were counting the amount of uranium thats being mind and suddenly somes missing on the back end they got some explaining to do. While the iranian negotiator turned home to a heros welcome, its a more difficult sell at home. Joe biden lobbies democrats on capitol hill. How realistic is it as we expect iran cheats. Thats a big part of what i want to get to the bottom of. Current sanctions are working, and shares the same concerns about iran as leaders of saudi arabia and other u. S. Allies in the middle east. They were given both the relief of the sanctions, keeping their infrastructure and allowing it to expand within a few years. Without a deal we risk even more war in the middle east. And other countries in the region would feel compelled to pursue their own nuclear programs. The president thinks the deal is it vital for piece. Congress will have 60 days to look over the deal and approve it or not. In washington Edward Lawrence nbc news. When it comes to the Iran Nuclear Deal president obama is lying to the American Public according to governor chris christie. The president is lying to win support for the deal. By talking about the deal yesterday, inspectors would have 24 7 access to Irans Nuclear facilities. Under the new agreement, if iran refuses access to a suspicious site an Arbitration Panel will decide whether they have to submit to an inspection. If you like your doctor you can keep him. If you like your Insurance Plan you can keep it that turned out to be a lie. And i will tell you that when he said yesterday that inspections will happen in iran any time anywhere, the agreement itself undercuts the president s position. Christie said if the president likes the deal then go sell it, dont lie about it. Speaking of the president ial race, Hillary Clinton holds a sizable lead over the democratic field, however, that leap isnt as big as it was a few months ago. Clinton leads Bernie Sanders 5117 . Martin omalley and jim webb garnered 1 support, it showed Lincoln Chaffey with no support. Vice President Joe Biden has not announced his intentions for 2016 but recent reports suggest he is it leaning toward a president ial run. In that same poll 13 of voters 11 they would choose him. Most of that support is from clinton backers. Thousands of Philadelphia School children with no access to the internet at home are getting connected.

The goal to bring high Speed Internet to more middle and lower income families. We call it the homework gap, its really children not being able to do their homework at night. They have to find other places like the library. The white house says it will help 200,000 students get on the internet at home. Ask and you shall receive, its in the bible. Parishioners are hoping thats the case for them. The Notre Dame Alumni Association is appealing to leaders in rome to keep their church open.

Video and pictures of todays storms and flooding from nbc10 viewers have been pouring into our newsroom. Lets take a look at some of them right now. Check out this neighborhood. Wow look at that picture, this is in atlantic county. This is how parts of absecon gzy a earlier today. Its an entire street flooded as you can tell from sidewalk all the way to the other sidewalk. Heres another, joseph fair weather sent us this picture right here these shots you can almost make out his feet. Water, his knees are right here by the way. Heres another one for joseph. This car trying to get through these waters. You can see only the tops of the tires are visible. And then lets check this out. Theres some video i want to show you right here. Mickey sanchez sent us this club. This is vineland Cumberland County right here. The rain is teaming down the street filling up and not stopping drivers from getting around right there. If you want to send in your pictures, dont forget to do so through the nbc10 news app or nbc10. Com. You might see yours on tv. Glenn, were still looking ahead to more rain, but not as bad. Absolutely. And the other thing i want to say after seeing those pictures is dont drive through that stuff. If the waters up to the tops of your tires, it is dangerous. And its also dangerous for the car, you can get flooded very easily. Turn around dont drown. Thats the slogan. Now, we do have some showers on the radar now. Not as threatening as it was this morning, youre going to get pretty wet over the next couple hours. In the poconos, Lehigh Valley not so much the unusual flow is from the northeast to the southwest. Weve got a low Pressure Center off the east coast, thats why things are moving the way they are this afternoon. And we have a few heavier showers, this one in upper makefield bucks county you can see the precipitation rates about 6 10 of an inch an hour. A little over half inch per hour, a quarter of the intensity of what we saw this morning in atlantic city. A quarter. Thats the heaviest shower on the map. Even though theres some heavy showers, nothing like this morning. Now, lets track it see where its going to go. New town at 5 20 lower southampton at 5 36 bensalem at 5 43. Then the one in montgomery county. To philadelphia around 6 00 remember we did the same tracking about 15 minutes ago, and that timed out to philadelphia right around 6 00 as well. Now, we have a few of them in Delaware County. Heavy shower in springfield, that goes into claymont in delaware at 5 38. These again are moving toward the southsouthwest. The other thing thats happened in the last hour is that theyre getting a little smaller and more scattered. Thats good news, thats a trend. This one near middletown going to somewhere in a at 5 35 and harley at 6 05. As long as these things hold together. They are weakening. Now, at the shore, where they got the heaviest rain. They got four inches of rain in two hours, theres more rain coming down through Long Beach Island. Its not nearly as heavy. This is not the kind of rain that would cause flooding. This is less than a quarter inch per hour. Again, it was two inches per hour this morning. Thats a fraction of what it was this morning. So as we go through the evening we still expect a few showers around. Theyre really going to be dying out over the next few hours, and then the temperature starts to drop down into the 60s later this evening, and 50s by tomorrow morning. North and west. Kind of refreshing out there, and very low humidity during the day tomorrow. A lot of sunshine see very few clouds during the day. Were in the 70s and into the mid80s, the sea breeze at the shore keeping temperatures down into the mid70s. Speaking of the shore over the weekend, now, were talking about a heat wave in philadelphia and other inland areas. Its not going to be a heat wave at the shore. Were going to get to escape the heat, 82 degrees, looks pretty nice. The ocean temperature still well above average and sunday is going to be another day escaping the heat. You can also escape the heat by going to the pocono mountains. Some thunderstorms are likely on saturday. A little more sunshine coming on sunday. For the rest of the night we still have the showers to contend with. Theyre getting smaller, perhaps a little weaker thats a good trend as we go into the evening hours. Its going to get dryer and dryer as we go through the night. And less humid and cooler down to 57 Degrees North and west. Then for tomorrow just a spectacular day. Nothing like today. Sunny, much less humid, high temperatures in the low 80s, the 7day forecast another great day coming on friday and then the temperature jumps, and the humidity jumps and we get into a heat wave territory over the weekend. Best chance of showers and storms is on saturday and then especially on monday which could be the hottest day of all. Glenn, thank you very much. Most people are afraid of sharks. I would say so. Some massachusetts beach goers worked to save one, they worked together. This video shows people throwing water on a 7 foot long great white shark monday. It had beached itself on cape cod, the efforts likely saved the shark until rescuers could tow it back to the ocean. Crews had to attach a line to a fin and pull it into open water.
