We are anticipating messy morning tomorrow, coming up in the seven day forecast, but right now, lets check traffic. If there is any up. Fortunately an accident to tell but in collingdale, chester pike at mcdade boulevard. And we do have an injury with that one. So avoid that area if you can. Taking a look at i95, at girard avenue. Quite a bit more volume. Upper dublin, susquehanna road. We have report of debris on the road, right, there at Crystal Valley drive. So that indeed is going to slow you down again this morning. Guys . Sue, weve had a tragedy overnight. Weve had a deadly fire. We know 50 year old man has lost his life. Broke out in the fishtown section of the city. This one was fast, steve keeley on the scene in fishtown this morning, steve . Reporter 2016, bad year for philadelphia fire death, too, because this makes number 21, after last years historic alltime low, of just 12 People Killed by fires in 2015. And doesnt even look like any fire happened here in this threestory apartment building, right at the corner every busy frankford avenue and thompson street, where it meet another street. But you can see, light on in that third floor bedroom with the bin dough open just to air it out some. Thats where the man was when killed. Here is video of the scene few hours earlier, put under control, almost instantly at 3 37. Smoke alarms blaring. Still, not enough warning to wake that man up, and get him out of there safely. Two firefighters, who rushed in that door, where you see, as we come back to live picture, tenants returning right now, and through that doorway, there is a spiral staircase in the rear hall, and these firefighters ran up there with such might. Got into that place, that locked door, so much with so much vigor that they hurt themselves dealing with all of that, and the smoke. So, they had to be taken to the hospital just to get checked out and theyll be okay, were told. So another fatal fire her in the month of december too. Always high point for fires, because of all of the Christmas Decorations, the candles and things like that, we dont know if any Christmas Decorations played a part in this. So the investigation is still resuming right now. But again at the scene every another fatal fire. Lets hope this is the last one for 2016 and maybe 2017 can get back to setting all time record lower than 12. How about a big zero maybe for 2017 whether it comes to this. We certainly hope so. You mention, great point to point out once again, that the firefighters do such an amazing job trying to get to these individuals. But sometimes the fires just too fast. Steve, thank you. 705 67 89 want to talk about this developing story. We took to you aurora colorado yesterday, down to fort worth texas, seeing so many of the melees, teens with Nothing Better to go going on social media, basically saying hey lets go to the mall, cause some problems. People are behaving badly, and does appear there was Common Thread to all every these cases, especially an incident in our area, dave clinic kinchen, figured out there police quick on this one, was snap chat. Explain . Reporter yes, snap chat quick posts on line, telling people where to be, and generally what time to be there. Apparently the philadelphia mills mall was that place. And last night around 6 45, was that time. Police will be out keeping an extra ion some things, after the last couple of night. This happening not once but twice here last night, 200 young people, 200 showing up by septa bus mostly according to police. But investigators say the cops were already on the scene ready for them to turn away most of the kids, between 14 and 16, but 30 to 40 of them did get inside the complex of course formerly known as Franklin Mills mall. Police say three were arrested for disorderly conduct, one after he is dollars after allegedly trying to punch an officer. Number of teens initially showing up last night, double that of the night before. Our cameras actually caught the ends of it, breaking up outside, with number of boys on bikes, swerving in and out of traffic. And as we said, much of this starting on line with social media chatter, snap chat. We spoke with witnesses, too. Just seen the cops flying from everywhere. And we saw the flash mob, tried to get in through jc penny but they lock the mall down, so had to go in through forever 21 to get to the mall. Most guys, girls, phones being thrown, i seen them running through security. Security ended up seeing whether they were trying to keep them out of the mall, they just ran. There is also the possibility as we see with these things that as police look at the video that you just saw, and individual thats on social media, that other people could be identified and arrested later. Thats something thats typically happened in cases like. This police also sending up a warning to parent, they say, because a lot of kids are on school break, between christmas and new years, keep an eye on what your kids are doing specially when it gets dark, as will. Back to up, karen, thomas. Thank you so much. We appreciate it. Developing story right now. This morning, that we are following, there has been shooting at the bar and all start wad game of pool. There was big fight over t they decided it the way they would set thal fight if he lounge 62 bar and grill, was with a gun. This was just before midnight. There is the scene, the 6200 block of woodland avenue. We know a man in his 30s was struck in the torso. Hes being treated over at presbyterian hospital. They do think that he will survive. Police say they even had video of the fight that started by the pool table, camera inside, that captured the shooting. Also we know man is dead after crash in philadelphia. Police say the victim was driving when he was shot in the head. So you can see he crashed into another car, this is 500 block every walnut lane, mt. Airy. Investigators say got called out to the scene because the car Ford Expedition was turned over. When they look inside that is when they found the victim, 33 year old man, he had been shot once in the right temple. The other car they struck, witnesses, there one professor, saw a woman jump out of the car and run away, and throw a right jacket over the edge after bridge. So it is not clear if she was the shooter or if the man shot himself. He was a great man. A great uncle. A great brother. And he cared about people. He was the only man that i let call me princess. And im very upset with the news, the manner in the way he got his life taken away. And i hope to god that the police find the hearn who did this immediately. So they are still looking for the woman who took offer. But they did finds that white jacket that she threw over the edge. And theyre trying to see maybe there is some Surveillance Video that can help them with their investigation. 7 09. We are all remembering legendary actress, carry fisher. Fisher famous for her iconic role as Princess Leia died in los angeles yesterday at the age of 60. movie clip . Just couple every days ago we got words she suffered cardiac emergency on international flight. She was coming home from england. Of course her top film critics, not only star wars, but so many other memorable fill that many were looking back on this morning. She was also an amazing screen writer and author. She spoke publicly about her struggles with bipolar disorders and with drug abuse. So many members of her star wars family are paying tribute on twitter. This picture from peter, known for role obviously as chew back, a saying there are no words for this lost. Carry was the brightest light in every room that she enters. I will miss her dearly. Then this one from anthony daniels. I thought i had got what i wanted under the tree. I didnt. In spite of so many prayers and thoughts, im very, very sad. And this one from san all l jackson, light in the gal a, i dimmed, may the force be with her, rip. An apparently sin a bun hat gotten itself into hot water with fishers death. They tweeted something. Sin a buns on the side of the head they thought it was funny but one of those not the time, not the place, not the way. According to a lot of people on twitter. Snow is the tweet that they put out saying, quote, rest in peace Carrie Fisher, youll always have the best buns in the galaxy. Then they needed to back pedal that after lots of criticism. Our deleted between was generally meant as a tribute but wu zero we shouldnt have posted it. We are truly sorry. Clock 11. Obama administration scrambling to defends its roll in the Un Resolution condemning israel. Secretary every state, john kerry; about to deliver whats being called a major address this morning, on the mideast Peace Process . Right out to bill said for explain the lateness one, because so many fast moving element as there are every day in this time and change every administration. Good morning, doug. Good morning, we dont know exactly what john carry will say about this today. But the Obama Administration has run into a lot of criticism from its israel refuse to go block this un measure pretty critical of israeli settlement. Meantime, carry is left having to kind of address this. With president obama continuing his vacation in hawaii, it is to up his secretary of state, john carry, to explain exactly what role the the the administration played in last weeks controversial United Nations vote, to condemn israeli settlements in the west bang and east jerusalem. Department denying the us orchestrate philadelphia. We reject the notion that the United States was the driving force behind this resolution. That just not is true. Not the driving force perhaps, but did the us play some role . The Israeli Government not minutes willing words here, already tens relations between the us and israel became more frayed. We know deep collusion between the Obama Administration, the palestinians, to push this United Nations Security Council resolution forward. That is deeply deeply disappointing because historically america has protected israel, at this very, very bias, body. All of this as president elect, donald trump, has ramped up his criticism of the United Nations. As you see, the israelis try to collect this evidence, theyll show to trump to prove to that obama both produced and provoked this resolution, this is going to be ongoing story, as we have, one president at a time, but it is a story that trump will relish being involved in. Well see what secretary carry has to say later today about this. This really does underscore that frosty relationship between president obama, and israeli prime minister, netanyahu. Back to you guys. Certainly more to come on this one, dooling, thank youment always good to see you. It is 7 13. So yesterday, lot of us had our eyeballs glued to the tv screen watching the big bowl game. Temple going bowling helping to finish one of their best seasons ever with a victory. Didnt happen. We were hoping. Yes. Down in annapolis taking on wake forest in the military bowl. Late night for me. I couldnt. I couldnt go to bed. 7 00. Pushing it. They had a good game though. First half kind of struggling little bit. But, you know, the second, hopeful, theyll get this done, up until the very end. But, as karen machined sean, as you know, didnt happen. But this bass incredible. This was a special honor. Because temple decided to honor our servicemen and women by wearing this special helmet. You see right there. It has the temple t, then the strikes, in red, white and blue. Also, they had the interim coach of course. On the side lines for the owls, maybe that made a big difference aftermath mat rule left for baylor following the big win, so exciting, just horrible you dont have the regular coach. New coach isnt in. You have interim coach you know, but temple got out early, awesome, so great. Had the early lead, early touchdown, still ex soothing, then all wake forest for the rest of the first half taking it to 31 to ten into the break. But they got inspired in the lockerroom. Came out strong until the thirds, we had, bamm, but still trying to came up short on one of the passes right, there i think i missed up the highlight. General thing, we ended up losing, didnt come one enough. We tried hard. We lost in the military bowl. Bye we are still champions in the heart, had great season. Just keeping that eyes focused, getting that balks connecting the ball, just didnt happen. I know you said bill way going to watch the game. He is a temple alum, my husband s so i call myself an owl by marriage. Not too happen which those results yesterday. But it still was fun. Now as we say happy new year, and we will, this weekend, here is a little preview of the forecast. 35 degrees, right around midnight, new years eve, now the sun wont be shining. It will be dark. 49 degrees still in the new years day High Temperature, as you are watching the mummers parade. So it would be a little bit better. High pressure in control right now. But cold high pressure. And the 64 degrees we had yesterday, not going to happen today. It will be chillier, at least dry, see plenty of sunshine, next system out to the west. This is cold front with much colder air behind it. So, friday, we end up being the colds he is day of the week. With the mix of precipitation, were expecting tomorrow morning, there is a Winter Weather advisory in the pocono mountains, theyll get all snow, and it will probably be about two, 4 inches, you see it moving in, snow to the north, rain to the south. And inbetween, that pink area, is a wintery mix, probably freezing rain, or sleet most that far will stay north every us throughout the six, 7 00, 8 00 hours in the morning, bus years hours on the roadway, but for the changeover to rain, that continues through about lunchtime. 2 00, 3 00 in the afternoon most of precipitation is out of here. Sunshine again friday. That will be a really chilled sunshine, because of the windchills that will probably be in the 20s, for the day. But tomorrow morning, got to be careful. Watch the temperatures, stay with us tomorrow morning, we will get you through all of it, two to 4 inches of snow in the mountains, inch or so in the Lehigh Valley. Before the changeover to rain. We could see brief mix every rain or snow in philadelphia before the change over, will probably happen around 6 00 a. M. Again mostly rain in south jersey and delaware. Now back to this morning, 37 degrees. 29 degrees mount pocono. 27 degrees in millville. A lot colder than it was yesterday. These are your wind chills, so feels like 30 in philadelphia, right now, and 19 in the mountains. So chillier day, but appropriately so for december. 43 degrees today. Fortyfour with that mess tomorrow morning. And 39 degrees and windchills in the 20s, on friday. It does get a little bit better on saturday, but still cold. High of 43 for new years eve. Little better new years day, it looks like the shower chance is now on monday and tuesday of next weeks. Thats your seven day forecast, time to check traffic. We havent seen much this morning, but we do have an accident to tell you about in upper merion, it is on forge springs lane, valley forge road, route 23, so avoid that area if you can. Another accident, in collingdale. Chester pike at mcdade boulevard. Delaware county. With a injury there. The septa broad street line, Southbound Service is operating with residual delays, due to earlier equipment problem at all of the stations. So, slower service on the broad street line this morning. Guys . Thank you there, sue. How about this . Forget the grinch who stole christmas, we have some video of people around this country, thieves, stealing christmas. I know we always say it is a bowl move, but take a look at this right here. Really is bold. Up in new york on christmas eve. You see the guys, they smash the glass there. This is at the dennis basso boutique, un err east side, very expensive place, that carries furs, some of the chinchilla, sable furs, valued at over 100 grand. So they broke the glass, went inside, think there are about three of them. Went straight for the furs, grabbed as many as they corks then ran out. It looks like to me maybe two of those were women. So i dont know if they were behind it or who was, hopefully they catch this. From california, video captures a guy, got his back pack right, there going under the tree. He is picky. Looks like hes rummaging after someones christmas tree, two days before christmas, trying to pick out the presents he want, home near los angeles, bag he brought from under his jacket right there, getting specific items. And police want to get this guy off the streets. Thats why they shared this video. Because they are hoping to catch him. Amazon echo, youve seen the commercial, alexis whats the weather going to be like, and then she answers, well, apparently there is was very popular. High tech device, very popular over the holiday season, a lot of people have them. Now prosecutors, theyre issuing a warrant for one mans amazon echo, and theyre connecting him to a murder case, well explain that one. Also a little boy, and hes battling a very big disease. He has cancer. He gets an amazing surprise . His hospital room. See which nfl start is star is that paying him a visit. Well show you more after the break. Judge shawnee mountain. Two, 3 inches possibly more by friday . Thursday overnight,. Let it snow. Let it snow. Let it snow. Clock 23, good to have you with us. Experts say we had pretty good holiday season, in fact, one of the best shopping seasons, especially for amazon. People were buying up the amazon echo. In fact, producer ryan you have one, right . Do you love it . The weather tells me my commute, has all of the details. Live such a sad life. No, it is true, we love you, ryan. Apparently, i mean, a lot of people have the amazon, and it is alexa, probably wont even respond to me. Police are now using the amazon echo to solve a murder mystery. So our detective, Lauren Simonetti joining us from the fox business network. Hello. So, yes, start with the sales. Amazon had a really good year . It seems people dont care at all that when you talk about a smart device, a home connected device, that youre also giving up good deal of your privacy. Because echo speaker sales and the echo dot, these were what customers wanted the most. Amazon over the holidays shipped more than 1 billion ever year for them. They dont even keep enough echos in stock. They saw nine times the volume from last year. But there is concern now that the echo, it listens to your voice, answers your commands, and it also records. Everything that you say. The walls have ears. Right . And thats the issue, right . Prosecutors arkansas, trying to solve a murder mystery, asked alexa a question, and it started recordingment wanted know if he was talking about the murder . Police received warrant in arkansas to get those record frost amazon. Because they can help them finds out more about this case, where a man is accused of drowning a friend in his hot tub last year, so crazy story, and technology could play key part in the fact of the case. So, the question is why is the echo continuing to record things . Amazon stores that data, they use it to perfect their voice recognition, artificial intelligence. Thats the reason. But now amazon, like apple, so many of these similar cases, terrorism cases with respect to apple specially. How do you protect privacy for your customer . And also, help authorities when necessary . Well, i think amazon put out statement they said they waited until they get a warrant in the case, not going to just hand it over just because you ask. You do need to go through the whole process and make sure to get a warrant. Of course. If you dont commit murders then it probably isnt a problem . And dont ask al axe about it, how do you drown someone in a hot tub . Terrible case. See first if they get that warrant to get all of the information from amazon see if amazon will hand it over. Also a warning, probably change your behavior by all of your smart devices, my husband hooks everything up to the internet. Always yelling, stop, i feel like someone is spying on me, i dont need everything hooked up to my phone. But thats what people are doing. Maybe hubby is listening to you this morning. Detective lauren, thank you. He is definitely not. Good to see you. Thank you, lauren, we appreciate. Does this change anything, ryan, back to our producer . Are you going to be little cautious . No, doesnt change anything. I dont do anything that i dont want alexa to know b also, i just dont think i dont know how long this records after. If im if i Say Something to al innings a, tell me on my phone what i just said, so i assume wag it says. If i can her a question it gives me the text to my phone. So i dont think it records after. That will i dont know, i am not worried. Whats the most intimate thing you asked alex election a . Thats not safe for tv. I knew it. I knew it. Thanks, i think a lot with technology so afraid in the beginning with ezpass, they know where we r if youre naught out there doing nefarious activities. Caught with the laptops, web cam spying, who is listen . More to come on that one, see you, how amazon responds to that, because theyll get it. 7 28. Buzzer beaters, hail marry he is, a n and unlikely champions, some of the mother from the world of sport this year. Guess what . We will look back. Specially villanova national title. What were some of your favorites . What do you think should be on that list of the best sports moment . See the fox29goodday. Movie clip . She was so feisty, and funny, and just would speak power in the movies and in relief, an icon, actress Carrie Fisher has died at the age of 60. We are remembering her as Princess Leia, and so much more. We will look back. Also ahead this morning, holidays nearly through. Why not consider giving your wall the eight break . Sounds good. Financial checklist helping to you save big in 2017. Great to have you with us. Morning. You got off the egg. Thomas makes fun every me, doing the whole six hours, mike and alex are off, time to gross him out. Looks like a foot, sue . Hard boiled egg smell. Ya, they may be good. But yum. How about chocolate cannedy . Wouldnt we much prefer that . We know it is healthier. But anyway. Temperatures are in the 30s, 40s, and bus stop buddy more bundled up than he was yesterday. Because it is a lot colder. These are your temperatures, 37 degrees, in the city. 29 degrees in mount pocono. 40 degrees in dover, delaware. These temperatures are as much as 20, 30 degrees colder than yesterday at this time. So, change your outerwear. It is abut full sunrise. We are starting to see the sun peak through the clouds. 37 degrees, but feels like 30 out there, no precipitation, no rain, no snow. Lots of sunshine today. High of around 43, 44 degrees, very seasonable High Temperature, four seems to be the number, sunset 4 44. Play that number maybe today. Thats your wednesday planner. Lets get to traffic on this wednesday morning. Starting off with a look at this accident, happened in newtown township, newtown street road, 252, and goshen road, there is an injury involved there. Thats in the Newtown Square area. So avoid that if you can. An accident in upper merion, at forge springs lane valley forge road. And the septa broad street line, Southbound Service on the broad street line, operating with residual delays, and thats because of earlier equipment problems at all stations this morning. Thomas and karen . 7 33. Man died in fishtown, happened about 3 00 at frank forwards and girard. Firefighters had flames out in just about a half hour. Two firefighters did suffer minor injuries. And developing overnight, man was shot at a bar, cops say the reason, a pool game. They had a fight. This happened at the lounge 62 bar and grill just before midnight. And they call it lounge 62 because right there on the 6200 block of woodland avenue. We know a man, the victim, in his 30s, hit in the torso. He is in Critical Condition. But they do think hell live. Police say they have a camera inside that captured the whole shooting. Weve been showing you the video, this is Disturbing Trends thats sweeping the nationment teens showing up at malls looking to start a fire. Shear one. Wait, wait, wait. Chaos there. This one was taken at jersey gardens in elizabeth monday night. Pen team with hurt, including two pregnant women, and two children, as they try to escape that violence, basically, it started as a small fight and someone said, well, i think someone has a weapon, then someone else heard gunshots. Wasnt the case. No one had a weapon, still everyone trying to get out of the mall. Weve had so many of these. Here is the scene in texas, we had about 150 teenagers, all show up at food court at a mall. This is in fort worth. Several of them were taken into custody. They had to close the mall early. Some of them are facing even felony charges. Right here in philadelphia, up to 200 teens causing pandemonium for shoppers and workers at Philadelphia International airport mills mall. Police in our area say there is a Common Thread among all of these attacks across the country. And it has to do with social media. Lets get out to dave kinchen, dave, a week, a loft kids, teenagers are bored, they dont have anything to do. We saw big problem with flash mobs before in our area. Whats going on snow. Yes, actually what police said, due to, in part, a lot of these kids, not having much to do. But also, social media, in particular, snap chat, and post that led teens here to the philadelphia mills outlets, and theyve been having trouble over the last couple of nights, 200 people last night, 200 young people, mostly between 14 and 16, arriving here, by septa bus, police were ready, they turned most of them away. But 30 to 40 did get inside the complex. And cause problems, this area, known as formerly known as the Franklin Mills mall. Police say there were three arrested for disorderly conduct, one arrested for allegedly trying to punch a cop. The number of teens initially, showing up last night, double that of the night before. Our cameras even catching it ending when we saw several boys on bikes swerving in and out of traffic. So, even some of the spilling out on to the roadways, and much of the starting with snap chat as we said before we talked to witnesses, too. When i was leaving, they were all up here at the bus stop waiting for the bus. So was it just kind of kids stuff . Teenagers. Getting out of control . I heard, when i was in the mall, the kids talking there was bunch of fights, probably five i heard about. When they got in the food court area, thats when they began acting disorderly. This yes running around. Jumping on tables, chairs, yelling, and screaming, and just caring on, and acting disorders errly. Social media really exacerbating all of this, when we see a lot of these things that have happened, and at least ten other areas, ten other reports, as we had talked about, of similar melees at malls. We can tell you here at philadelphia at the Philadelphia Mills Police say that theyre not only going to keep extra ion things, but they want parents to actually talk to their kids, and make sure that they know where their kids, are specially, when night falls. Back to you. We have parent, have to stay on our kids, know where they are, because if you leave kids alone for too long, theyll just make poor choices, bumm decision. Look at the social media, even if your child doesnt like t see what theyre doing on twitter, instagram. What else is out there . All it takes is a moment, right in the you take a little time out. Makes big difference. So young boy battling cancer, gets amazing surprise in his hospital bed. We are going to tell you which nfl star paid him a visit. Well, there you go. Breaks your heart. Timing now 742 67 89 speaking of sports. Certainly, some of the top moments, 2016. This right here, chris jenkins, buzzer beater. To get villanova the national championship. Well, how does this stack up to the other big plays . Well look back at the top year in sports. Checking traffic at 7 45, we really dont have a lot. Yeah, thats one good thing about the week, between christmas and new years, schools off. A lot of people take off this week. This is the schuylkill at city y avenue. On another wednesday morning, it sure would be back up. But not today. So get out there and just take a drive. Route 42 freeway, also running smoothly, in new jersey, as we see the sun start to come up behind the trees there. Un for the lip, we have an accident to tell but in newtown, township, in delaware county. Newtown street road, thats 252, and goshen road. And an injury involved in that crash, and in collingdale, chester pike at mcdade boulevard, also, an accident with a injury there. So, take your time, out there this morning. On those smooth running roadways. Lets see what the forecast is, well let you know in 15 seconds. This is for tomorrow morning. Winter weather advisory, for the pocono county, pocono mountain counties every carbon and monroe. We expect wet Winter Weather, 5 00 a. M. To 4 00 p. M. Great for the ski resort. For us mostly rain event. When it starts between, say, 6 00 and 7 00 could see some mix withing freezing rain or snow. And then a changeover to rain as temperatures rise. Messy morning rad less what type of precipitation you get. And if you go further north of philadelphia, it stays a little dicey, little longer, see the line further, getting later into the morning, later afternoon. By the time the change over is complete, everything is out of there. So really our escaping a much bigger winter event than we could have had, had temperatures been lower tomorrow morning. But be prepared to leave a little earlier to get where you are going in the morning on thursday. Then, to bundle up, whole lot on friday. Wind chills right now, are in the 20s, but we are going to get into 43 degrees. High temperature today, messy weather tomorrow. We told but that. Blustery day friday. High of only 39. Feeling a lot colder than that. Saturday, still cold, but not as cold, and not as windy, so it should be dry for your new years eve celebration, if you are going to go outside and celebrate there. And then, of course, the mummers parade. Always like it when it is a rather when it is not too cold. Looks like the High Temperature sunday will be about 49 degrees. Thomas, karen . I think well go to the parade, sue, sounds good. 7 48. Temple football may get run at history yesterday going for win number 11, something that hasnt been done in school history. But of course, to do it, it would need monster second half comeback against wake forest, did you watch it . Temple trailed 31ten at half time. Yes, temple came up real strong after talk in the lockerroom. Quarterback gets it over there on the short pass. He runs, goes all the way, 58 yards, for the touchdown. So then, temple is only down 17 to 31. So the owls trailing. When we go to the fourth quarter, by eight. Looks like oh, it is close, we can do it, facing whats fourth and three situation right there. So while looks to go on oh, man, not same page of the receiver, hanging the head, some man tears, great, great season. Does not take away. Lose the military bowl. The celebrations for wake forest, they are so happen. I good to have the man tears every now and then. They had amazing season, though. Should be very, very proud. The coach, the coach left, amazing championship, coach left e getting new coach in the interim. Will be back better than ever next year. 7 49. Lets talk about villanova. They were Success Story of last year most certainly. Defending national champ, villanova wildcats. Now ranked 12, they have ranked 12 and zero, number one in the country. Tonight this is when the real test will begin. So the wildcats open biggies conference play tonight. Versus depaul at the pavilion. Depaul sevensix on the year.

Start new year off, right . Yes. Now, starting the day off colder than were you yesterday. Remember, yesterday, was already in the 50s . Weve got seven out of ten, but we have warmer coat on bus stop buddy today. Because it is about ten, 20 degrees colder than it was at this time on tuesday. But it is also National Chocolate candy day. So maybe one little bonnbonn to celebrate. We have 29 degrees in mount pocono. Forty in philadelphia. Thirtythree in wilmington, 30 degrees in millville. Definitely, colder, look, 15, 16, 28 degrees colder in millville than it was 24 hours ago. Still, have some clouds, stubborn clouds hanging around, but specking sunshine, 40 degrees in philadelphia right now, but feels like 35, no precipitation, until tomorrow. So today, expect sunshine. Seasonable high of about 43, 44 degrees, there is your weather for wednesday, more coming up including your new years eve forecast. Meantime, checking traffic this morning. To see if there is any in this holiday week, and plenty of cars out there. But theyre all getting where they need to go at the posted speed. Blue route at baltimore pike. Looking fine there, i95 delco, near highland avenue. Still construction logan township, route 130, both directions between 44 and 32 it, we have one lane blocked there, and remember, all this week, is disney on ice, follow your heart, and they have shows, several shows a day, every day, through january 2nd. So that could slow you down in that south Philadelphia Wells Fargo Center area. Well, at any time, as karen well no, sir. Fun show. Worth a watch. If you have kids of that age, that would like that. All right, it is 8 03. Sad to learn about this one, sue and i were just talking, hoping that Carrie Fisher would be able to pull through, after a Health Incident that happened over the weekends. As many of you know by now actress Carrie Fisher of course famous for her iconic roll as Princess Leia died in los angeles. Fisher went onto become a screen writer and great author. Spoke publicly about her struck billions bipolar disorder and drug abuse. Fisher also has a huge philly connection. Her dad, singer eddie fisher, hailed from south philly, her mom was actress debbie reynolds. Well, tina fay made big comment about all of this when she just, one of the of celebrities paying tribute to fisher, saying carry Carrie Fisher meant a lot to me. Like many women my age, Princess Leia occupies about 60 of my brain at any given time. But carry asarone he is writing and her razor sharp writ were an even greater gift. I feel so proud to have met her. Im very sad thee is gone. Remember she made appearance on 30 rock, season two, who can forget season three when the famous buns, trying get out of jury duty. Excuse me. Imperial gord, how long do these arson trials typically last . Couple weeks probably. You can drop the voice. This used to get my out of jury duty in chicago all the time. This aint chicago, honey. Look at these people. Oh, thats so good. You know, tina fay, obviously, huge talent. She grew up in upper darby. Being a woman of the same age, one of those things you looked at Princess Leia, one of those trailblazers, a woman, princess. And tina fay as she mentioned she had such a honesty about her, even with her writing, and her comedic delivery, that she took so many pages from her play book if you will. She was princess but princess that took action, she could go out there, take on the whole galaxy, and deepened dollars defended it. Wasnt the damn sell in distress, it was that powerful woman who, you know, as you mention, taking on the universe. So so many young women looked up to her. She definitely paid the paved the path. I like the pictures, make you have some of them in your house, people sharing with their daughters that dressed up as Princess Leia, maybe you did, as well over the years. We can show them off on tv. The time coming up 8 06. We have some bad behavior to tell you about. Some local malls, and malls all across the count rip, where bored teens are take to go social media.

Our dave kinchen, he is at philadelphia mills mall with the details on this latest one. Good morning, dave. Reporter good morning to you, thomas, karen. It was night two of brawling here, with the a with a lot of juveniles,ly say between the ages of 14 and 16. And they were going at it pretty good after seeing a post on snap chat. So after whats happened over the last couple of night, police say they are stepping things up here. Last night 200 young people arriving, mostly by septa bus, to the philadelphia mills mall. Police were ready, though, turning most of them away, about 30 to 40 of them did get inside the complex anyway, formerly known as Franklin Mills as we now know. Police say three teens were arrested for disorderly conduct, one arrested for allegedly trying to punch an officer. The number of teens initially showing up last night doubled that of the night before of about 100. Our cameras were even catching the end of it all, when several boys were riding around on their bikes, they were swerving in and out of traffic, so taking a lot of the dangerous activity even out on to the parking lot and roadway. We can tell you we spoke with witness. We seen cop flying from everywhere, flash mob, try to get in through j. C. Penney but they lock the mall down. So we had to go through forever 21 just to get into the mall. Multiple fights, guys, girls, guys and girls, zones being thrown, i seen them running through security. Security ends up seeing when they try to get them out of the mall, they just ran. Police say they believe part of this in addition to the snap chat connection is just teens not having much to do since their on break from school between christmas and new years. So they are asking parents to keep an eye on their kids, especially after dark, because thats when a lot of this rowdiness tends to happen. Specially what weve seen in the last kim of nights.

Karen, i heard it in the first hour today. Okay . Bell mounted. Every time you say amazing it will go ding and have counter at the bottom of the screen. Nothing wrong with that, karen. Thats good. High five up top. Reporter how amazing these headsets . Not for music, it is so the deafening roar of these monster trucks, you can watch it, and not have an ear ache afterward, or, these are also available for jenn frederick live shots, for that screach, fingers on nail board voice of hers. So of course shes off. Im doing this segmentment tomorrow ill be interviewing all of the stars of the new fox january series. Thats a joke. All right, with us now, the star of the show here. Look at this. You got back stage access to everything. Look, your name is not on here. Whats going on . That picture, that picture doesnt do you justice there. No. All right. More handsome. Hes local. What coincidence, see these tires here . The same tires on the amish buggies that we see. You had to go there, didnt you . Yes. So here is the 29 year old kid. How did you get into this . I went to my first monster jam show when i was like, i dont know, two, three years old, at the philadelphia spectrum. And i guess like a loft kids that come here this weekend, just in awe. They are huge watch can you not like about monster jam trucks . You dont just work here. You actually own these trucks . Nope. I actually own stinker and the master every disasters, thats running here this weekend, that my buddy paul is driving. Thats our new truck, the team, that we have both of these trucks, so were super excited to be here. Did you build these from scratch or buy them already done . We built them for the most part. We have the frames, chassis built, then we buy all of the extra component, bolt everything together, make it all happen. What are these things worth . The new truck over there, weaver about 150,000 invested into it. Just to get it here. All right, well we see these on tv. We have video. Well show them for everybody that doesnt know what we are talking about, probably do, jared be my guest. Man behind the camera, the man who does voices, all right, lets lower that natural sounds people back there. All right . If we can. Because it sounds like sounds bite. For the people at home that dont remember these commercials, through the voice that theyll notice. Monster jam. Jared will put that guy out of business. What did you think of that . Phenominal. Announcer here this weekend. Awesome. Hell be on tv eventually. So what i was going to say, now that we saw them on video, you never see these driving down 95 to get to here, because you came from another place to get to trenton here where we are now. How do you transport these babies . Well, we actually have to put small tires on them to get them inside after tractortrailer, which we have tractortrailer up in the parking lot. Both of our trucks fit in it. So what we have here now is buddy our crew chief, has one of the big tires off the truck already. So, every time we get to a show, we will have little tires on it, so they come out of trailer, get into the building, then start our show prep. So then it is pretty big task to get the tires mounted on to the truck, and get all of the lug nuts tight. I thought you called triple a to change these tires . Buddy not with triple a then . I thought were you my local triple a guy. Look at this, he has in his hand, Remote Control that goes to the jack. And he lowers it. And look at. That will he got it right on there. And candice, how much time do we have for budd toy put those lug nuts on . Oh, buddy, she said 45 seconds. You can do that even faster than that. By the way, more lug nuts, than you have in your normal car. That sounds like were in a pep boys now, doesnt it . The sounds as soon as go into pep boys, even buying an air freshner, thats the counts sounds you here. If youre little kid, it is cool, you like the smell of tires and you like that sounds. If youre a kid, you can come here, friday morning, pit party it is called, right . Absolutely, pit party is two hours before the show. You can come down on to the floor, get all access to, you know, take pictures right beside our truck, take pictures with with us,. Thats a separate ticket than the show ticket . Absolutely worth t you dont realize how big the trucks are until you actually, you know, are standing down here on the floor right next to them. The tires themselves are five and a half foot tall. Bigger be there like a family car. The publicity stage, keeps running away, we will get you on tv anyway. They actually generally think this is cool. Because they didnt know they were going to be on tv. They go you really have to come here to see, experience it, i said im really not into this. They said you would be if you showed up as a show. Thats what you felt . I was in awe, i loved it. My parent said i loved it. I remember growing up through school, thats all i wanted to do. So i just kept my head to the grinds stone and made it happen. These are base in the lancaster, too, your hometown, and on the road 20 weeks a year, and take these back to lancaster . On the road 20 to 25 weeks a year, based out of lancaster pennsylvania, the shop, everything out of there. Excited to be in trenton. Trenton, new jersey, this building where i get my first monster jam show back in 2014. And i actually walked away what wheel i competition win that weekend. Hopefully we can keep it going this year. All right, so what truck are we going to show in the next hour . What are we going to ride . The one shaped like a dog. Monster put over there, Kevin Crocker will be here moving it around, showing you guys what we are all about. Karen, how amazing is that . Karen, i think your three boys would like to see this show tonight, tomorrow or flyer. Since you guys are working early, ill suggest friday matinee show at 1 00. Thats right after the show. Gives you time to get to trenton. Thee shows sell out. They are amazing. Steve so you know, jenn fred would actually get in one of the trucks. Is that going to happen . Are they going to let you drive it . They wont let me drive it because i would drive it on 95, just for fun. I would ride over, stop traffic, i wouldnt stop. We will probably be in the truck. Well get in the truck. Toyed sign a waiver and wave my life away in case im killed out here. I wanted ride under an truck but they wouldnt let me do that because sometimes i just want to sit under a truck on days like this. You know what, steve . Youre amazing. Yes. Thank you. I heard her say it. I heard her say it in the 4 00 hour steve. She lost that bet long time ago. Oh, you giles. Thank you. Who couldnt love a face like this . Isnt that adorable . Theyre hatchables, apparently some parent dont love these little creatures. They say there is something wrong with the toy. And theyre writing about it, they want a company response. But theyre not getting answers. What is it . Well show you coming up. So these are hatchables. What are you doing . Yes. I have an egg. It is empty. Apparently supposed to rub, rub, rub, and this thing is supposed to peck itself through the shell and hatch. Some parent say it is not all cracked up to be. A lot of people maybe not patient or maybe that theyre hatch recall, which is the hottest toy for christmas. Supposed to be doing this, flight. Loving it, hugging it, will make little noises and sounds. So, some parent think this is a dud. Because it takes too long to hatch. And some say even after they loved it and corrected and hugged all over it, it didnt hatch. So, the company that makes these toys, now responding, saying, sometimes products dont perform as expected. But theyre committed to resolving all of the issues. Apparently some of these moms are complaining on twitter. So, ive been calling for two days it, keeps telling me to call back later. Halfability is a dud and store wont take it back. Another tweet here this one is from vicky. She says, spin master, dead as a dough. Over two hours on hold. Hatchimals fail. Maybe spend the two days rubbing the egg it might hatch. It seems in those situations they tried. And the toy isnt working so then youre so upset because you want your child to have this experience, then they dont. A lot of people wait in lines at the tarring tote get them. Directions take an hour or two to hatch . But maybe theyre not hatching. At what point do you give up . At what point do you say four hours, five hours . It is a birth. You have to be patient. Oh. Well, well look more in depth investigation into the hatchimals controversy. Hatchimals2017. Well get on t celebrity crushes. With the passing of Carrie Fisher, so all right breakingment some people had a crush, you know, they saw this powerful woman on screen, who had such a presence. And they fell in love. Then like her voice, like her, as a girly like her, i likes luke sky walker and like her, too, she is awesome. So who was your celebrity crush . Im going to reveal that.
