If you believe that your working mother, wife, sister, or daughter deserves equal pay, join us after the speech, balloons and confetti rained down on the crowd inside the Wells Fargo Center. Delegates and their guests heard from mrs. Clinton inside the Wells Fargo Center in south philadelphia last night. Now the general public gets a chance to see her and her running mate, tim kaine, as they hold a rally in north philadelphia. Nbc 10s andrea clinethomas is inside that hall where people have already packed the seats, right, aundrea . Reporter exactly. People continue to file in. When we arrived, the line spanned about two blocks past the center. Theres a very diverse crowd in here. Not just ethnically, but crowds are bringing their kids to witness this event. You may remember, it was supposed to take place outside with the historic backdrop of independence hall. It had to be moved to temple because of the threat of bad weather. Now, Hillary Clinton and tim kaine are hoping to capitalize on the buzz they created during the Democratic Convention. Today, their bus tour will go through the state, and then theyre off to ohio. This event is supposed to begin at noon. Were going to stay here and bring you all of the highlights. For now, reporting live at Temple University, aundrea clinethomas, nbc 10 news. Lets check in now with first alert traffic reporter, jessica boyington, to see how the rally is affecting roads in that area. Jessica, what are you seeing there and throughout our Coverage Area . Especially, katy, because a lot of these changes, moving to Temple University, because of weather, its a little bit of a surprise. There might be some popup closures as well there arent even listed. For right now, were paying attention, of course, to tmpl university. Broad street between cecil b. Moore and west diamond streets, that general area beginning at noon, especially, although people are starting to make their way there. Thats when well really start to see some of the problems. Theres also areas of banned parking. The 1,800 and 1,91900 block of north 15th street. 1800 block of north broad street, and the 1400 block of West Montgomery avenue have banned parking. You dont want to park in those spots and get your car towed. Back to 95. Now, earlier this morning, we had a really vicious drive on 95. We were dealing with flooding, several different accidents from the rain. Now were pretty much back to normal, but were slow, because we do have some rolling work crews up ahead southbound and now this drive time is inching its way up there at 19 minutes now. Adding on about seven minutes or so to your drive. Also paying attention to the Philadelphia International airport right now, were at 30minute delays for departing flights out of philadelphia. If youre heading to chicago, were up to 80minute delays due to weather. Katy . Thanks for that update. Clinton has struggled in this election and in elections past with showing a personal side. Shes often depicted as cold and untrustworthy. Her daughter addressed those criticisms headon last night. My earliest memory is my mom picking me up after i had fallen down, giving me a big hug, and reading me good night moon. From that moment to this one, every single memory i have of my mom is that regardless of what was happening in her life, she was always, always there for me. Chelsea said her mother was not only concerned for her wellbeing, but the opportunities for all children. While her daughter was on stage introducing her, clinton watched the speech from a back room at the Wells Fargo Center. She tweeted this picture with the caption so proud. President bill clinton also tweeted that watching chelsea speak was one of the greatest moments of his life. After senator clintons speech, the president gave his approval on twitter. He said, shes tested, shes ready, she never quits. Thats why hillary should be our next president. Then he joked the job comes along with the potus twitter handle. Clinton also used her speech to bash opponent donald trump. She imagine him in the oval Office Facing a real crisis. A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons. After clintons speech, donald trump immediately took to twitter. He tweeted, no one has worse judgment than Hillary Clinton. Corruption and devastation follows her wherever she goes. Protesters remained outside the Wells Fargo Center after the convention wrapped up late last night. The demonstrations were peaceful overall. Bernie sanders supporters say they are still angry about the Dnc Wikileaks scandal that seemed to prove the Convention Committee worked to hurt the Sanders Campaign while helping clinton. At least three arrests were made last night while our cameras were outside the Wells Fargo Center. We are expecting an update from Philadelphia Police today on the total number of arrests for the week. Happening now as we take a live look outside, it has already been a busy day at the Philadelphia International airport. Thousands of conventiongoers are leaving town and have been waiting in long lines. That all started since early this morning. For more on the dnc departures and any delays youll find, nbc 10s Pamela Osborne join us live from inside the airport. How are things moving now, pam . Reporter well, katy, everythings running pretty smoothly right now. There are a handful of delays because of the weather, but take a look, you can see the line is moving through very quickly at this point in time. We want to show you some video, because today is a huge travel delay for delegates and dnc attendees who are heading back home. Youve got them plus youve got your regular passengers flying out on a friday. We heard the longest lines were this morning around 4 30. We havent seen any long wait times since weve been here. One of the ways tsa agents have been speeding things up is by using k9s. The dogs theyre using are specially trained to sniff out explosives. Theyve been doing their own precheck of passengers and their belongings during peak times. Thats giving passengers the ability to hop in expedited lanes, so things moving a little bit quicker. We caught up with one passenger who was here for the dnc, she wasnt a delegate, but she was here with planned parenthood, trying to spread the word. She said her flight was delayed for about 40 minutes, but still, this trip was absolutely worth it. An amazing crowd, especially for an organization like ours. We signed up over 2,000 new members. We signed up almost 100 people who are willing to be volunteers. North, south, east, and west, all over the country. So you can see right now, as quickly as people are walking up to the tsa line, its just as quick as theyre getting through those security checkpoints this morning. Tsa is advising people to allow yourself plenty of extra time, about two hours, they say, before your flight, you should be here. You should expect it to take a little bit of extra time to get checked in. And of course, get through those lines, and before you get to the airport, make sure you check your flight to see if its on time. Reporting live this morning at philly international, im Pamela Osborne, nbc 10 news. Katy . Pamela, thanks for that. Our coverage of the dnc and Hillary Clintons nomination continues throughout the day.

Nbc 10 first alert meteorologist bill henley is here with a look at the forecast for today and the weekend. Its a little cooler outside. Yeah, not bad.

Still looking at 70s for the Lehigh Valley and the suburbs. 79 degrees in delaware and south jersey is at 80 degrees. We will warm into the middle 80s this afternoon, but thats as warm as it gets today. Well not see the 90s for a change. The heat wave has finally broken. 77 in andorra. Parkside is 79. Northeast philadelphia airport, bustleman, 81 degrees and already 80 in society hill. Sunshine will be nice and bright, just a few clouds around, those showers are now offshore.

And for the Lehigh Valley, sunshine and 85 in allentown. New jersey, the showers are out of the picture. Up to the middle 80s for hamilton township. Atlantic city warms to 83 degrees this afternoon. You wont hit the 90s today. You wont see a repeat of the showers for wilmington. 84 later today. Thats today. Sevenday forecast at the bottom of the screen shows theres wet weather returning for the weekend. The futurecast to show you when to expect showers and thunderstorms when i come back later this half hour. Katy . All right, bill, well see you then. We are following breaking news about the zika virus in the u. S. The discovery that raises new concerns about how the virus can be transmitted. Thats coming up. Plus, the sound of silence. A somber pope francis visit at the site of so much atrocity and horror during world war ii. Well have the words the pontiff put on paper to address his feelings today. Whenthe state made aers, commitment to us. I knew that i wasnt going to make a fortune. But i would have a secure pension plan when i retired. Each and every one of us made that contribution from every paycheck we ever earned. Theyve been negligent in their responsibility over the years of not funding this pension the way it should have been funded. They have made a promise, theyve made a commitment, and they need to stick to it. We are following breaking news from florida, where that states governor says they have likely seen the first case of zika transmitted by mosquitos on the u. S. Mainland. Governor rick scott said one woman and three men in the miami ft. Lauderdale area likely contracted the virus through mosquito bites. More than 1,600 zika infections have been reported in the u. S. , but the four patients in florida would be the first not linked to travel outside the mainland. Meanwhile, the red cross is not accepting blood donations from two florida counties because of concerns over the zika virus. The fda now wants the blood supply tested to make sure its not contaminated. Aggressive Mosquito Control efforts are now underway throughout southern florida. Well, changing gears now. A 10yearold girl from our area is one of two innocent bystanders whos in the hospital this morning after they were shot. Family members of that young girl ran to north rosewood street in north philadelphia, but were told by police to just immediately go to the hospital. Authorities say the 10yearold girl was walking with her grandmother when she was shot in the arm. She does need surgery, but is expected to be okay. The two gunmen, they ran away. Neighbors say this was not the first shooting this week, but the third. Three times in one week, thats a bit out of the norm. Once a week, every other week is okay. But three times . Something hots going down. And in the citys germantown section, police say a young father was driving with his 4yearold daughter when he was caught in the cross fire of two gunmen. The dad is listed in critical condition. His daughter was taken to the hospital just to be checked out. There have been no arrested in that shooting either. A San Diego Police officer was killed and a second officer injured after a traffic stop. Sources tell nbc news that it appeared the shooting is gang related and there is no indication at this stage of the investigation that the officers were specifically targeted, as they were in recent incidents in dallas and baton rouge. Still, the source of stress of the investigation is in its very preliminary stages. Pope francis, this morning, visited the site of one of the worst atrocities in history. The pontiff today toured auschwitz, the former nazi german death camp. Its the place where adolf hitler forces killed more than 1 million people, most of them jews. He is the Third Straight pope to visit the site. Francis prayed in the dark underground prison cell of a catholic saint, who sacrificed his own life during the war to save another man. He visited in silence, but left a message in the memorial guest book. Lord have pity on your people. Lord forgive so much cruelty. Pope francis also met with several auschwitz survivors. One by one, the pope stopped, shook their hands, and bent over to kiss the elderly survivors on both cheeks. He also placed a large white candle at the death wall, where prisoners were executed. 11 17. Weve seen a real turnaround in the weather this morning. We started off with some heavy downpours the from philadelphia to the south, but now, the rain is out of the picture. We still have clouds blowing through the area. Were getting enough sunshine to see the temperatures warm up nicely. So if youre heading out right now, we are drying out, and you wont need your umbrella today. Sunglasses, youll definitely need that today, but you wont have to deal with the high heat weve seen lately, either. The 90s finally take a break and its going to be an extended break from the high heat. But the mugginess remains. A muggy evening awaits as the temperatures will be climbing into the middle 80s, but its going to feel a bit hotter than that. 80 right now in philadelphia and wilmington. Upper 70s in coatesville. 79 now in allentown. Drying out in trenton, mt. Holly, and vineland, 80 degrees. These temperatures, warm, but cooler than yesterday, in fact, 10 degrees cooler than the same time yesterday. Trenton, down by 9 for mt. Holly. Vineland, philadelphia, down by 6 in allentown and wilmington. 8 degrees cooler, 10 degrees cooler in dover. It feels a lot more comfortable, even though the humidity is still going to be high and make it feel like its up to 90 degrees. The heat index, the feelslike temperature will be at 90 degrees, as we go into the afternoon, and even into the evening hours, early evening hours, then it finally starts to cool down. Were dropping down into the 70s overnight tonight. And it will be dry for the day today. Showers and thunderstorms out of the picture, 8 30 this evening. Just a few scattered clouds around. As we go into tomorrow, though, after a dry morning, clouds will be building. Thats noontime or just after noon on saturday. Watch the showers and potential for some thunderstorms popping up during the day on saturday. And if that doesnt look like its going to be the end of the rainfall over the weekend. So enjoy the break while its here. A nice break from any wet weather today. Clouds and some sunshine, 86 degrees this afternoon. Clouds are back tomorrow, with a good chance well see showers and thunderstorms developing in the afternoon and into the evening and on sunday, more clouds and a good chance youll see rain in the morning and into the afternoon hours. The chance of thunderstorms, thatll help keep things cooler, 84 degrees High Temperature on sunday. Then, just in time for the workweek, its sunshine returning to the area. 82 degrees after a morning low of 71 degrees, and it stays cooler on tuesday. There is a chance of some lateday showers on tuesday. Theyre out of the picture for wednesday. Wednesday afternoon, 83 degrees. Both humidity stays low on wednesday, but the temperatures start climbing on thursday. And by friday and saturday of next week, theyre back into the 90s. A chance of storms on saturday, and then were clearing out and cooling down a little bit on sunday. So, this weekend, a good chance youre going to need the umbrella, but less likely next weekend, as well be drying out, at least for sunday. Katy . Where well need the sunscreen next week. No doubt.

The next stop for the democratic president ial nominee, Temple University. A live look right now, where clinton and her running mate, tim kaine, will attend a postnomination rally. Last night, clinton capped off a fourday Democratic Party convention with a plea for National Unity and tolerance. And it was quite the scene at the Wells Fargo Center last night. Hillary clinton pledged to unit a divided country, and she cast herself as a tested, steady hand in troubled times. Clinton was also trying to unify her party and last night she reminded sanders supporters that she is feeling the bern. Ive heard you. Your cause is our cause. Clinton was not only looking to charge up the democratic base, but shes also trying to win over republicans. Americans dont say i, alone, can fix it.

The rally actually has started, but were still 30 minutes away from Hillary Clinton. And tim kaine speaking here. More than a thousand people are here. I talked to some of the voters who say they were proud of how the Democratic Convention went. Some said theyre tired after watching all of those speeches late into the night, but theyre still very excited about seeing Hillary Clinton and tim kaine in person. The candidates are trying to ride the momentum of that convention at this, their first stop on the bus tour. And its fitting that they spend more time here. After all, pennsylvania is a battleground state and some of the latest polls have clinton and trump headtohead. So later today, the bus tour will make stops in hatsfield and harrisburg. Then it heads to ohio. Again, it will be about 30 minutes before Hillary Clinton and tim kaine take the stage. Were going to stay here and bring you all the highlights, both on air and online. Reporting live from Temple University, aundrea clinethomas, nbc 10 news. It wasnt just Hillary Clintons night to make history at the dnc. Sarah mcbride from wilmington made her mark in history by being the first openly transgender person to address a major partys convention. But i believe that tomorrow can be different. Tomorrow we can be respected and protected. Especially if Hillary Clinton is our president. And thats why im proud to stand here and say that im with her. Mcbride was the first transgender intern at the white house. She also was close with the bidens, working on beau bidens campaign. The national gay and Lesbian Chamber of commerce hosted a celebration at the Comcast Center in Center City Yesterday night. Democratic house leader nancy pelosi was one of the special guests in attendance. Also last night, the mother of a Philadelphia Police officer who was killed in the line of duty addressed the convention. She was added to the schedule, after the philadelphia fraternal order of Police Publicly criticized the dnc for only inviting family members of those killed by officers. Officer moses walker was in plain clothes, walking home from his shift when he was shot and killed during a holdup in 2012. Last night, his mother described finding christmas presents that he had wrapped and left. It was in august, but moses, he always thought ahead. He brought gifts to relatives, for single parents, for strangers down on their luck. Moses served as a member of the Philadelphia Police force for 19 years. John mcnesby, president of the fraternal order of police, praised conventiongoers for making the change and adding family members of fallen officers to the speaking lineup. Another powerful and emotional speech we had heard at the Convention Last night came from the parents of a Muslim American soldier, who was killed while fighting in iraq. His father told the crowd how his son sacrificed his life to save the lives of other soldiers, and then reminded them that donald trump would not have wanted his immigrant son in this country. He was referring to the ban on muslims that trump has proposed. Donald trump, youre asking americans to trust you with their future. Let me ask you, have you even read the United States constitution . Chan urged those watching him not to take this election lightly and asked him to honor his sons sacrifice by voting for Hillary Clinton. Its 11 33 now. And philadelphia had prepared for the Democratic National convention for more than a year, prepping the Wells Fargo Center alone took almost two months. And now the big cleanup is underway. Nbc 10s matt delucia shows us what you did not see when Network Cameras turned off. Reporter after four days of speeches and performances, down come the balloons. Oh, my god, its like new years and christmas and your birthday and everything all in one. Reporter a sea of airfilled rubber, fun to toss, kick, or what do you think of the balloons . I love them reporter but when the crowds leave, a mess is left behind. Signs, confetti, its a celebratory ghost town, until these men show up. This is like the job to have right now. You know . The only thing youve got to do is pop, pop, pop, pop. Armed with a specially designed 2016 pin, thats all brian here needs. What i said, a fun pin to bust all these balloons. Reporter by the second hour, the tiny pins gave way to large popping sticks, with some help from the audience. Whatever i can do. If i could take that whole sea of balloons home with me, i would do it. Im cleaning up, you know, saving some of the reporter got some souvenirs . Exactly. Im going to try to look for one of those hillary poles with, but every one i see is stepped on or relatively trampled. Reporter the rest ends up in the trash while some believe they have taken home a piece of history. Youre doing your part . Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. Usa reporter in south philadelphia, matt delucia, nbc 10 news. Thank you, matt. Philadelphia mayor jim kenney paid tribute to mrs. Clinton by recreating an iconic picture. Kenny posted a photo of himself on twitter wearing sunglasses and using a krmcell phone. Along with the picture, he wrote, thanks for accepting the responsibility of our worlds future and keeping the promise of equality. The picture mimics the nowfamous picture of senator clinton wearing sunglasses as she looked at her mobile device. The picture led to texts from hillary meme, but later took on new meaning after controversy swirled over her use of a private email challenger. Trumps Campaign Slammed clintons speech last night, calling it an insulting collection of collie shays and recycled rhetoric. The statement on Trumps Campaign Facebook Page this morning says clintons stance on immigration will take jobs, resources and benefits from the most vulnerable citizens of the United States and give them to citizens of other countries. His running mate, governor mike pence campaigned this morning in his home state of indiana. He spoke to a gathering of bikers in indianapolis. He then joined in a ride to raise money for the Indiana National guard family relief fun fund. Now your nbc 10 first alert weather. Its 11 37. A live look right now at frawley stadium, home of the wilmington blue rocks, where there will be a double header tonight because of yesterdays rain. So you can expect sunshine and warmer weather later today. But the weekend is a different story. And with more details on that, lets bring in first alert meteorologist bill henley. Hey, bill. Yeah, it will be nice to be able to hit the pause button. Weve got sunshine at the shore and temperatures that have climbed into the 70s and very low 80s. 80 now in woodbine and cape may courthouse, ocean city is 78. And 77 degrees in atlantic city. The weekend will be warm, but we will see the return of clouds and showers and thunderstorms. Its not going to be an allday rainfall or allday storms on saturday, but they will be moving in, a mostly cloudy day for philadelphia. 85 degrees. Middle 80s for the pennsylvania suburbs. The Lehigh Valley, into the low 80s. The jersey shore, this is where youre more likely to see some sunshine in delaware, too, on saturday, but by sunday, those clouds are taking over at the shore. Delaware beaches, 85 degrees in the afternoon, with some sunshine and still the possibility of showers and thunderstorms. And if youre heading up to the pocono raceway, its going to be a busy weekend, saturday morning, some sunshine, 78 degrees, but clouds build in the afternoon.

Its 66 degrees, into the 70s with a chance of showers in the afternoon. Ill show you when well finally get some sunny days that arent too hot with a tenday forecast, when im back in just a few minutes. Katy . All right, we like that. Thanks, bill. Authorities in michigan just charged six more state employees in the flint, michigan, water crisis. Lead pipes corroded and caused lead to leak into flints drinking water. The trouble happened when the city switched the citys water supply from detroit to water from the flint river, which did not contain Corrosion Control chemicals. Last month, the prosecutor announced that civil suits and criminal charges would be brought against those who contributed to the problem. The countdown to rio continues. We are now just one week away from the start of the games on august 5th in brazil. And nbc 10 is the only place where you can see all of the action. More athletes arrived yesterday from russia, indonesia, and hungary. Supporters of the russian team gathered at the airport to welcome the athletes and officials. The russian team is smaller than planned, because many were banned over a doping scandal. Leading up to the games, many athletes expressed concerns about the zika outbreak in brazil, but the World Health Organization director general says today that the risk of zika infection has been found to be both low and manageable. The mosquitoborn illness can lead to severe birth defects. Starting this monday, youll have to prepay to ride septas Regional Rail in center city during the evening rush hour. Conductors will not accept money on the trains at temple, jefferson, suburban, 30th street or University City stations. At those stops, youll have to buy a ticket or pass before boarding the train and those fares will be collected prior to your boarding. The hope is this temporary change eases congestion and crowding at center stations. In new jersey, a computer glitch led to delays yesterday at the states Motor Vehicle commission. Our sister station, news 4 new york, reports the lines stretched out the door at one office in burton county and customers had a fourhour wait. The glitch happened around noon and was fixed about an hour later. Now, a similar problem happened on tuesday. The Philadelphia Eagle that is making magic for the country to see.

I just thought it was a story that needed to be told. Well, so many people know about his death, that he had a heart condition, and that he ultimately he was taking medication, stopped taking medication, and that ultimately lead to his collapse and death on the court. A very public scene. So, tell me, why are people still interested 26 years after this happened . He was such a prominent, respectful figure in philadelphia. And people still recognize him to this day. They had hank gathers Basketball League on 25th and dime at the gathers center every sunday to honor him.

Friday evening, this evening, nice and dry. A bit muggy outside. And tomorrow morning, well be watching for some showers. The first of them showing up at the shore. Thats 1 00 in the afternoon. And then moving inland. And this is where we can see them intensify. Some storms are possible even into the late evening hours on saturday. And even more likely well get some wet weather for sunday. So there are some changes ahead for the weekend, after we enjoy sunshine today, 86 degrees in philadelphia this afternoon. And 80s again tomorrow after morning low temperatures in the low 70s. The clouds increasing for tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening, the best chance of seeing some showers and some thunderstorms in the area, not an allday rainfall for saturday, but we could see steadier rain in store for us on sunday. 84, the High Temperature, after another morning in the lower 70s. A chance of some thunderstorms on sunday. Then we finally start drying out, so skies break for some sunshine on monday. 82 degrees. The High Temperature, monday afternoon.

As we told you yesterday, veteran eagles long snapper, jon dorenbos magical run on nbcs americas got talent, well, it continues. Jon dorenbos dorenbos advanced to the semifinals wednesday night after wowing the judges and the audience with his incredible magic tricks. Dorenbos had been excused from reporting to eagles Training Camp earlier in the week, so he could compete on the show. But he is back with the birds, at least for now. Jon dorenbos joins us from the nova care complex in south philadelphia to tell us more about this Pretty Amazing run. Jon, thanks so much for joining us. Thanks for having me. Well, eagles fans, for years, have known about this magic talent, but now youre getting some national exposure. So whats that like . Its totally rock star. So, you know, football and magic has been something in my life thats balanced my life for years and years. So ive been super fortunate to play in the nfl and for this wonderful city and this great team for 11 years, and now kind of to take it over to the theater and to kind of share a different side of me and a Different Energy about me and a different love that i have, i mean, its a total dream come true. Im loving it. Have you gotten to know the judges a bit . Asides from predicting what theyre going to draw on those pieces of paper, in terms of their personality, what are they like . You know, we dont have any interaction with them. The show does a great job of keeping it totally biassed and they generally want the judges to have no clue what youre doing and for them to be surprised to get authentic reactions. So my personal experiences with them are the same as everybody at home. Theyve all been super cool and obviously, im happy with the responses and, you know, sometimes even if you get a negative response, i think you just take it, you harness it, and you learn from it, knowing that these people know the entertainment business, they know what works and doesnt work. And its up to us to make our acts better. Well, philly is certainly cheering you on. It seems like you have a lot of support from your teammates. Any advice from your teammates or coaches . You know what, they like it, and its cool. Because in pro sports, we work hard and we push ourselves, not just for ourselves, but to be there for our teammates. And its a family atmosphere. And you want to do well for your teammates, and to be a true pro, you want the respect of your teammates. And so when all the guys got around and they showed the team meeting and everyone kind of came together and supported it, it was, honestly, it was a really cool feeling. It was kind of emotional for me and kind of just stepped back and really appreciated really appreciated that. Yeah, must make you feel good. Youre heading back to california next week. What is the next step . Its actually it will be a few weeks. Theres a few more episodes in this round, and then ill go back and nbcs been absolutely wonderful working with my schedule and the show and it will be minimal days missed. I think one day, you know, is a day off anyway. So to have the support of this organization and this city, awesome. And the teammates, its just dude, its rock star. Thats what it is. It is totally rock star. Ideally, we would have loved to have you in the studio to show us your tricks firsthand, but obviously the eagles take priority. So hopefully youll come back in the next few months or next few weeks after youve reached the pinnacle and show us some tricks. Dude, i would love it. And as long as i have an open invitation, i will be there anytime. All right. Jon. Well, great to meet you and hope to see a lot more of you on americas got talent. Hey, thank you. Love you guys.
