Now probably about an hour and a half ago. And just moments ago, septa told us that they did obtain a court order which prevents picketers from effecting the Regional Rails so they cannot interrupt service by blocking the entrances to prevent workers from coming to work and operating those trains as they did for most of today in the meantime were told those cancellations that were put in place earlier because picketers were blocking Regional Rail entrances they are starting to subside, but still a few trains are not operating. So youll want to go to our website fox 29 for complete list of trains that are still not operating, but again we just found out moments ago from septa that they have obtained a court order which prevents those picketers from affecting the Regional Rail service. No contract agreement tonight means a nightmare for local commuter. Traffic has been a messes as you know. Students have missed classes. A lot of folks couldnt get to work. Our dave kinchen is live at Jefferson Station in center city. All those septa drivers who operate Regional Rail are not on strike. Commuters are having a lot of trouble tonight. Dave. Reporter they really are a lot of people we spoke with say they were bracin bracing for fre weekend on to where we are now. But they say they were pretty shocked when they saw the lines we want to show you right now near the platform area of Jefferson Station. We should point out that authorities actually kicked us out from that area. We got a little bit of video but we had to move back up to ground level here but a lot of the people we talked to in these massive lines be in one they say theyve havent seen lines like that before. Number two, they were a bit confused. They were wondering if some of the trains were canceled. They were trying to get answers but many we talked to they were just taking it in stride. It is what it is. You have to just deal with it. Hope septa does their part and make sure all the trains are running. Were just going to stand here and wait patiently and were talking to everyone having a good time chitchatting. Reporter how System Impact your commute, what you have to do today. Usually we would have probably been almost homely by now. Well just drive tomorrow. Reporter okay. It will be easier. I dont have a problem with it. Youre not in a hurry . Not at all. I was a nine month baby and i was i was not premature. Do you feel for the people who are in hurry. I really do. No joke. Reporter you have to have a sense of humor about these kinds of thing. Again a lot of people saying theyre taking it all in stride. Septa is asking a lot of people to look at other ways of getting around town including uber and lift live. Theyre cashing in on this no doubt as well. So by the way just it takes time. Thats the big thing here. Ba, to you. Unfortunately too much time for some people. Thank you very much, dave kinchen. Meanwhile the ppa says its giving people an extra hour to get to their meters and also easing up on other restrictions as commuters deal with this strike. Which is good news because its been a headache for a lot of people. Fox 29s bob kelly back here now to tell us more about this mess. Bob .

Fox 29s Dave Schratwieser joins us live from the drpa headquarters. Dave . Reporter iain a couple of weeing a eagles fans were talking about josh huff and his 98yard kick off return for a touchdown. Now theyre talking about something much different. It was a car stop here on the walt whitman bridge early this morning around 11 00 oclock on his way home from practice what were told back to new jersey. Stopped by police here. Charged with Motor Vehicle violations. They found pot an gun in the c car. This afternoon he appeared in Gloucester City municipal court. He drove away from the courthouse in a white cadillac with family members about two hours ago. Did not have a comment. He was released on 25,000 bail. We spoke to his attorney fortunato perry, jr. , about what the defense could be here. Yeah, its very disappointing set of circumstances. Hes been doing well in his career. Were still reviewing the allegations at this point, um, we havent had a chance to look at the entire set of circumstances having to do with the stop and the arrest. So well be working on that now. Hopefully we can, you know, sort this thing out and move forward. Reporter now, he has been charged with possession of less than 50 grams of marijuana. Possession of a gun without a license. He has a license to carry a weapon in texas but that is not good in new jersey. We have also learned tonight that 9millimeter handgun was found in the compartment of his chevy truck a black chevy truck and the magazine for that gun was also found in the truck. We were told six hollow point bullets were found in that magazine. He was also charged with driving under the influence the eagles so far have said theyre gathering more information. No word from the delaware River Port Authority police or the Prosecutors Office at this hour. Well have much more tonight at the 10 00 oclock news and at 11 00. Iain. Dave, thank you. Developing now, both sides in bill cosbys Sexual Assault trail at a Montgomery County courtroom today for pre trail wrangling. Here cosby leaving court just before five could tonight. His lawyers are fighting to keep evidence out of the trial. Evidence could land cosby behind bars for a long time. Our bruce gordon has been on the cosby Sexual Assault case from the beginning live in norristo norristown. Bruce . Reporter lucy, in fact both sides in this high high profile criminal case are asking the judge Steven Oneill for big ruling in their favor for prosecutors its testimony they want included at trial. For the defense, its testimony they want excluded. Prosecutors at this multi day hearing will ask the court to allow so called prior bad acts testimony against bill cosby. They want 13 cosby accusers unexpected to this case to be allowed to testify at trial the entertainer used drugs and alcohol to render them impaired. Unable to reject his sexual advances. Noted womens advocate and Attorney Gloria Allred represents a number of cosby accusers. She says prosecutors could use the testimony to establish whats called a common scheme. He knew that they were not able to consent to any kind of sexual act that they would be inn cass at any timed unable to consent. Report roar coos bee is charged with drugging and sexually assaulting a former Temple UniversityAthletic Department employee Andrea Constand at his cheltenham thanks 2004. Then diss trek attorney bruce castor has said he considered the criminal case weak and so promised he would not charge cosby hoping justice could be served through a civil suit. Shortly thereafter, couldnt stand did indeed sue cosby and his deposition in that case produced statements that could hurt his cause. That deposition was key to the decision by the current da kevin steele to charge cosby. Now the defense wants that deposition excluded from this chris nam trial. With lead defense attorney brian mc nonna gel claiming castors promise has been broken. Said mcmonagle to the judge when you have someones word it should be enough. Reporter you may recall the judge in this case has already rejected a defense quest that the entire case be thrown out because of that socalled broken promise. This, of course, is a much more narrow issue. The case goes forward but the defense wants it to go forward without prosecutors being able to use the potentially incriminating statements from that deposition. Again, it will be a big ruling when it comes down, iain. All right. Bruce it will. Thank you. Election day week away and drum what happened in you our area today slamming obama care.

We are staying on top of the so many at a strike that hit our area. Midnight buses, trollies and subway workers walked off the job and for people who use Public Transportation or those on the roads it has created a commuter nightmare. Bob even though Regional Rail operating not operating too smoothly. Far from it iain. All Regional Rail lines running with 60 minute delays right now crowded platforms in center city. But lets talk about our game plan for tomorrow. You definitely want to have a contingency plan. I think the flex hours are going to be huge. If you can avoid traveling through that morning rush hour maybe get the boss to let you come in around 9 30, quarter to 10 00, thats going to avoid that gridlock. The second day of the strikes are always traditionally worse than the first day. And check with your employers about the employee schultz. The city has shuttle buses for its employees that ran the exact route of the market frankford and broad street subway for free all you had to s show your id. Iain and lucy back over to you.

After a contentious election season, to say the leave, were now a week away from election day. Republican nominee donald trump made stops in the king of prussia and valley forge area today where he seized on the obama care price hikes.

Its one of the single most Important Reasons why we must win on november 8th. Trump will hold a special session of congress to repeal the law. That would be difficult without democratic support. And in his speech today he failed to offer any specifics about how he would change the law. Hillary clintons position on health care is to build on the Affordable Care act. Meanwhile the democratic nominee honed in on the swing state of florida. She told a crowd in dade city theres no question that she is the most qualified candidate. I have spent my career fighting for children and families. Yes i have served in the United States senate.

Live look at reading. It feels more seasonal today. Over the next few days though we can actually see a big old warmup. Lets head over to kathy orr tracking that forecast now. Hello, kathy. Well, good afternoon, lucy. Hello, everyone. Yes, were looking at the air part right now where we do have a movely cloudy sky but skies will gradually clear during the overnight hours its 58 the high today 60 but the key ingredient to this forecast is the wind. You watch the wind and you can pretty much forecast yourself. Southerly wind at 9 miles an hour means gradually we will get warmer and temperatures will not fall off all that much tonight because of the clouds and because of that southerly wind. So you have 46 in the poconos. But look at lancaster. 54. Reading 55. To the west some warmth is building. Afternoon highs in western new york and western pa very mild. Cleveland still 76. Pittsburgh at 74 and clarksburg, West Virginia at 72. This is the warmth in the southwest thats going to be moving our way. High pressure builds off the coast and allows what we call a return flow on the back side of this and that means southwesterly wind ahead of this cold front we will see temperatures surge to near record warmth by thursday. The front moves through with cooler and drier air behind it and temperatures will be at least 20 degrees cooler behind it but still november promises to be a fairly mild month. That is the new outlook. So overnight 49. In the city. 42 in the suburbs. Movely conclude dee and cool. Gradually clearing during the day tomorrow becoming mostly sunny the high 75. Which is unseasonably warm for this time of year considering the average high is about 62. Here are the numbers to beat by thursday. Were talking about 80. The record in philadelphia. Reading 79. Atlantic city 81. Trenton 80. Allentown in wilmington upper 70s for records these numbers will be challenged and some of them may be broken. Of course, we have to go back to standard time this sunday. Remember early sunday morning 2am turn that clock back one hour to 1 00 a. M. Of course, we gain an hour sleep but the sun will set an hour early. The days getting shorter. On your exclusive seven day forecast from the weather authority, storms late on thursday. Not expecting anything severe. But they could be gusty storms. Friday cooler, 56. Saturday 60. 50ss for sunday, monday and tuesday. Feeling more like fall and good football weather sean bell. Kathy with all of that josh huff news you would think the eagles would go out and get another wide receiver. Ill tell was they did or did not do during the trade deadline plus the sixers trade for another big man and more drast drastic. See who they got rid of to make that deal happen. Thats comin coming up next in. She ate like a pig. Trump has said and done. You can do anything. I moved on her like a [bleep]. Trumps just so disgusting and degrading. It just seems like hes invaded our lives. And hes the republican nominee for president. And republican Brian Fitzpatrick supported trump. Look, we just cant vote for fitzpatrick or trump. House majority pac is responsible for the content of this advertising. Off the field issues for eagles are really starting to pile up as reported earlier by Dave Schratwieser. Josh huff was arrested for marijuana and gun possession while speeding huff also admitted to being under the influence while driving. This happened right after he left the eagles facility today. He was caught on the walt whitman bridge on the jersey side. Huff was just named nfc special teams player of the week after eagles beat the vikings had a 9yard td return. Eagles released a statement basically saying theyre aware of the situation and that theyre gathering more information. From what we know, this is a first time huff has had any legal issues, any legal problems and the gun that he had in the car was not loaded. This is about the fifth off the field problem the eagles have to deal with over the past year. Agholor was exonerated. Lane johnson suspension. Two Nigel Bradham cases and now this. Expect the eagles to come down on this one really hard to send message. Eagles wide receive court looking thin but the eagles decided not to make any moves during the trade deadline. Theyre staying packed. I dont think that was a good idea. But the eagles little gun shy on making deals. The sixers were not at all today. They traded jeremy grant to the Oklahoma City thunder for player an conditional pick. Hes one of those guys really got better over the off season. Averaged eight points, four boards, two rebound. He could really block somebody down i dont know why you trade for another big win and a first late round pick all youre going to get. Catch the world series tonight right her on fox. Indians trying to close it out at home and win they are first world series since 1948. The cubs looking to stretch this thing to seven games and head back to chicago. That game is tonight at 8 00 oclock. So a lot going on. Umhmm. Sixers pointless move i think. They wont get anything better from jeremy grant with that conditional pick. Josh huff the team has to send is message. Five things in your short off season since dug immediate zen has been here. Have to have some discipline there. You have to be smart. Only five things in just about five months. Isnt right. Something has to happen. Iain think that is regarding the world series what will happen well go game seven. I think what this guy think. Guy seven. 2am for us tomorrow. Speaking of that join to us night after the world series. Game six. You may feel like you spend hours and hours going through your facebook feed. Is that a bad thing. My job. How spending time on the social media site may actually help you live longer. Thank my bosses for a longer life. I dont believe that at all. [ laughter ] i dont either. That does it for us here at 6 6 00. Well you right back here at 10 no. After the world series. Whenever that is. 1am. Whenever that is. 1am. I hope not. I served under president bush and obama. I fought the taliban. I was asked to form a Global Coalition to counter isil. When someone makes the comment that they know more about the Islamic State or isil than do the generals, it implies a complete ignorance of the reality. But i believe secretary clinton really understands the threat that the Islamic State poses to the United States and to the american people. And i believe she understands how to wield American Power to ultimately defeat this threat and to keep us safe. Im Hillary Clinton and i approve this message. This is an individual who mocked a disabled reporter. I dont know what i said, ahh. Who attributed a reporters questions to her menstrual cycle. Trump blood coming out of her. Wherever. He is not a person who is equipped in temperament, judgment or character to lead our troops. Donald trump has created a toxic atmosphere pitting one group against another. Hes a mexican. Claiming a person cant do the job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment. Priorities usa action is responsible for the content of this advertising.
