Protesters, filling the streets of philadelphia, rallying against president Donald Trumps policies during his speech, to g. O. P. Leaders. Protest lasted long after President Trump left philadelphia, last one ending around 10 00 p. M. And they are in the over just yet. We are ready for another day of g. O. P. Retreats and protesters. Lets go out to jenny joyce, on this past several days now, good morning to you, jenny. Reporter good morning, thomas and alex.

Immigration, health care, womens right, several hot button issues have people voicing their concerns and frustration was chants, signs, people who werent protesting were also frustrated with all of the traffic. Some people told our Chris Oconnell last night that they had a hard time getting home, getting to work, getting around the city because of clogged city streets but the protesters, these actions are necessary, some people talked to us about the messages that they hoped to send to the president and other elected official hossa tended the g. O. P. Retreat. He hasnt done anything to heel or to bring people together. He wants, to continue his campaign of hate and divisive ness. Going against obama care. It helps people. Reporter yesterday, in the middle of the protest we did hear that wawa at broad and walnut was forced to close because angry people caused damage inside the store. Employees were left to clean it up. That was obviously a low point in the the night but Overall Police seemed satisfied, chief inspector joe sullivan says there were zero arrests, thomas and alex. Always encouraging when you hear in arrests, people have the right to protest, they have a right to bear their emotion bus in a peaceful manner. President trump is upsetting many people in philadelphia with his comments about crime rising in our city during his speech trump said murder rate in philadelphia was going up but statistics show the opposite is true. Here in philadelphia the murder rate has been steady, i mean just terribly increasing. Wow. City leaders quick liz yum pink to the defense of philadelphia, to set the record straight. Steve keeley live at police headquarters, this morning breaking down facts and figures, steve. Reporter at one time this city had over 500 murders, that was in the 70s and 80s. Now we have had less than half that. We had a 45 year low a couple years ago. Mayor kenney is like what the heck is this guy talking about while we showed a lot of people our video from yesterday, very impressive show, by the Philadelphia Police department another perfect game by them. I dont want to say that because we have one more day but how many cities in this country, can have a lot of protesters, thousands and not have one singal rest is this no complaints against the Philadelphia Police. How cool is that . This is a consistent thing. They would be the award winner if they gave such an award because you saw what happened in washington. Whole lot different then what happened here . So the mayor was pointing out these guys, and girls, ladies and men from the Philadelphia Police department out there, keeping order, protecting trumps life, while he is inside, quote denigrating them he was talking about how bad crime rate is here. We were wondering what he could be talking about. We have talk to recent numbers and long term numbers. Recently maybe he is talking about this month january, 27 murders, already, just 17 in the first few taste of january last year. So maybe just talking about the last few weeks. If he was talking about last decade look at how far we have come down 391 murders ten years ago and 277 last year. And, mayor kenney also pointed out hey, until that number is zero we will not be zero but Philadelphia Police department , every day, working to get crime rate low, and this police tenth has got a Community Policing model that other cities in this country are following, so he is just plane wrong when he says phillys crime is out of control and mayor kenney called it fake facts, thomas and alex, you will be familiar with that term as we combine alternative facts phrase with his fake news phrase and that is when mayor kenney did a combined it and said this is headache facts. Wonder if that is a new term then people will use. He went off script, he was supposed to say, stable, as far as crime stats tics. Reporter it is almost like he got lost and started adlib bing and sometimes that is when he gets lost in the weeds some people think. President trump will have his first meeting with the foreign leader at the white house. He will meet with teresa may, british prime minister. She spoke at the g. O. P.

Last night, kind of kept you up a bit, sue. True, wind are still with us today, keeping things chilly out there but who cares , it is National Chocolate cake day. Bus stop buddy celebrate ago this and win of the flyers, over toronto last night, chills are in the 30s, that means wind chills, of course, and you can see evidence of the cold air, moving this, with the lake effect they band if you see flurry or two north or west of the city dont be surprised.

Reporter it is final day, alex and thomas, we are expecting a protest at 30th street station, later this morning as g. O. P. Lawmakers, depart from the loews hotel from center city and make their way back to washington. Lets take a look at the scene there yesterday through late last night thousands of people parked packed Market Street to send message toss lawmakers related to immigration, health care, womens rights and other hot button issues that have have already come up in executive order, or congressional conversations just one week into, trumps presidency. People who did not participate in the protest tell us they were frustrated because it was hard to navigate the crowds, but spending hours in the street they believe was worth it because they believe these issues on the table will have a direct impact on their familys futures. Climate change. I dont want them to deny it. I dont want them to break up all of those progress we have made. We cannot roll the clock back to a place where people have to worry about preexisting conditions for cancer, other common diseases, and where we are forced to go in high risk pools because of Health Conditions that we have in control over. I think it is a disaster how they close the city down, cost the city so much money on police force, first of all to protest the president is in there already, that they all would have voted, at the time, maybe their vote would have counted. Reporter people feeling frustrated on both sides, but despite, thousands who packed Market Street for yesterdays protest of the president s visit, police tell thaws there were zero arrests, they were certainly satisfied with these situations from yesterday, alex and thomas.

Also on the show last night President Trump addressed use of torture and water boarding. Interrogation tactics natalie Trump Administration says it will not use. Torture is realtor tour. Water boarding is, im sure it is this is pleasant but water boarding was just short of torture. You know, all of a sudden they made it story. Heres the story, look.

Life was fairly normal for scott and his wife tiffany but that change april 6th 2005 when a suicide car bomber blew himself up just 30 meters in front of striker vehicle.

It is amaze to go read your story and all you have overcome. Can you take us back to that moment. It was another day in iraq. We were regularly attacked by the insurgents, and then i found myself in front of the suspicious vehicle, so last thing i remember was seeing a man, raise his hand in the air and, you know, after he slowed ded my world went black.

High wife sorting, my family, friend, i quickly realized that denying god is darkest lazy had ever gone and i knew where light was. Asking for forgiveness and for giving the man who blue himself up enabled me to begin recovery and begin the long recovery. We have had very tough days.
