Start of the Democratic Convention is dealing with the major controversy over that email scandal that had had chair woman Debbie Wasserman schultz. These are dnc emails from Party Leaders who seemingly conspired to promote the Clinton Campaign at the expense of the senator Bernie Sanders. Sanders himself has long accused the party of favoring Hillary Clinton despite democrats claiming they were neutral during the primary season. Nearly 20,000 emails suggest dnc officials work matters in clintons favor. They included suggestions that his campaign was a complete mess, one exchange is between two staffers penned by dn doctor Communications Director , louise miranda, at the time, questioning sanders religion writing in part for kentucky and West Virginia can we get someone to ask his beliefs, does he believe in god . He stated on saying he has a jewish heritage. I think i ready is an atheist. This could make several point different with my Southern Baptist peeps between jew and atheist. Sand hours has claimed for wasserman shut to step down has said he was disappointed by wikileaks revelation but not shock. I told you a long time ago that the dnc was not running a fair operation. That they were supporting secretary clinton. So, what i suggested to be true six months ago turns out, in fact, to be true. Now dnc chair woman Debbie Wasserman schultz will not preside over the convention. She plans to step down when it is all over. Congress woman martha fudge has been task todd preside over the dnc. Shes former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus and considered to be a rising star in the house. As far as todays events go the theme is united together putting families first. Todays theme will focus on the future of American Families front and center, and how were stronger together when we build an economy that works for everyone, not just for those at the top and when everyone has a chance to live up to their god given potential.

That steve, first of all has the rain passed. Reporter im more on weather patrol then any protest patrol. It is pouring out here. There is a septa bus and in the head lights you can see downpour coming. At least straight down right now and straight up over the Convention Center. Still lots of lightening and crackling of thunder. So only thing that is lit up is lighting up is the wind because the rain was blowing under this arch where we safe ly are but you can see how heavy rain is in center city right outside Convention Center and still a good lightening show right above. Lauren was talk about hearing. That i was over at Wells Fargo Center, chris on friday and there are anchors on scaffolding, with the sky line in the background early in the morning because city is all lit up. I have to wonder how fast they scrambled down from two or three stories up, in the middle of the parking lot on the south end of the wells fargo. Here at 11th and arch police are on stand by. They had protection too. They have Dunkin Donuts where you see officers inside getting coffee getting dried off and some outside here at hilton garden inn. More officers over here. So fortunately we are under this arch at 11th street keep dry. No protest that is we know of right now. You can see Convention Center that is barricades out there that is not the anything you want to be standing around when you see lightening coming around you, chris. That scaffolding is probably most dangerous spot. Lauren is lucky shes in sky box inside but those poor guys and girls outside on scaffolding had to fast scramble this morning. I cant imagine because you mentioned fast scramble, this storm moved fast and furious, and it is crazy. Now we have more rape at fourth and market again. All right, steve, please stay dry, safe and there is i look at the radar. We will keep an eye on. That.

We have our share of excitement this morning with severe then are storms and our warning, as we speak, just lifted, so the severe nature of these thunderstorms has been lifted, but it is still a lot of lightening, heavy downpours, high wind, and this is just criteria for severe, has not been met but it doesnt mean you will in the get flash flooding, some high wind and maybe even some hail, and most of the focus for the most extreme of this has shifted to new jersey, parts of the Burlington County, florence, lumberton and medford with very heavy downpours right now. We will move down to south harrison, avis mills and heading down the parkway hammington, new jersey, heavy rain there abe shamong as well and we will see how much of that holds together for the new jersey shore.
