The news that thousands more officers will soon have them sounds good to some people we talked to. Protects the troopers and the civilians and we will avoid misunderstandings.

To decision 2016 and donald trump making headlines again today but not for something he said. His attorneys words created this firestorm. Nbc 10s keith jones is joining us now to explain this latest controversy. Reporter trumps Attorney Michael Cohen says he tried to defend trump against decadesold allegations of rape. Cohen reportedly told the daily beast quote, youre talking about the frontrunner for the gop president ial candidate as well as private individual who never raped anybody and of course, understand that by the very definition you cant rape your spouse, end quote. The comments went viral overnight. They came in response to resurfaced allegations that trump raped his wife ivana in 1989. He denied those accusations in the past. Ivana trump released a statement, quote, the story is totally without merit. Donald and i are the best of friends and together have raised three children that we love and are very proud of. I have nothing but fondness for donald and wish him the best of luck in his campaign. Incidentally, i think he would make an incredible president , end quote. Cohen then released a statement saying quote, as an attorney husband and father there are many injustices that offend me but nothing more than charges of rape or racism. They hit me at my core. Rarely am i surprised by the press but the gall of this particular reporter to make such a reprehensible and false allegation against mr. Trump truly stunned me in my moment of shock and anger i made an inarticulate comment which i do not believe and which i apologize for entirely. So Trumps Campaign said overnight in regards to that rape accusation quote, this is an event that was widely reported in the past. It is old news and it never happened. Jim, back to you. Donald trump one of 16 candidates vying for the republican nomination for president. The first debate will include only the top ten based on nationwide polls. That list will be announced a week from today. The debate is august 6. The Democratic NationalCommittee Says all five of its partys main president ial candidates will address dnc members next month at their summer meeting in minneapolis. Now to the issue of education. Universal prek in philadelphia was approved on the ballot in may. It was a Signature Campaign issue for democratic mayoral winner jim kenney. But pennsylvania ranks 30th in terms of access for 4 year olds and there was a meeting today to change that. Philadelphias home to almost 100,000 children under the age of 5. Yet statistics show only one in four has access to quality public preschool. These members of the universal prek commission met today to change that. We are finally beginning to realize a childs life from zero to 5, what happens in it particularly for low income children, can really be a determinant. Everyone from the president in his state of the Union Address to the governor in his annual budget are calling for universal prek. The issue is how to pay for it. Today there was a presentation on funding and where that funding would come from. We know what it takes in terms of the cost of care and where there are gaps in terms of government subsidies, then its a question about where do we make up that difference. Obrien runs several preschool programs and says its a real challenge. The Revenue Streams from the public sources, from child care subsidies at the state level and even some of the federal sources lags behind what it really costs to deliver quality. No matter the cost its far less expensive than juvenile justice, incarceration or welfare dependency all of which are alleviated when children get off to a good start in life. To get at the funding problem, senator bob casey proposed an amendment which would provide more than 30 billion in federal and state funding nationwide for income qualifying children. Jim . Now to the question of closing schools in montgomery county. Parents and district leaders will discuss the fate of an Elementary School there. The superintendent recommended closing audubon elementary. The school board will meet at the Districts High School in eagleville at 7 00. Closing audubon would mean the remaining four Elementary Schools would need to absorb more than 400 students. School Officials Say enrollment has been declining and the District Needs to redraw attendance zones. High School Students preparing for college could soon have fewer tests to stress about. Several topnotch schools are dropping mandatory standardized test scores as requirements for the admissions process. The National Center for fair and open testing says more than 800 schools including Bryn Mawr College do not use the s. A. T. Or a. C. T. Scores. Experts say the schools are starting to favor a more holistic application review process. Get ready. We are at the beginning of another heat wave and this one could last for several days.

Thinks this is not widespread tomorrow. Thursday, as a front approaches is when things will change. Take a look at this. As we go into thursday morning, the computer model is showing isolated showers and then by afternoon, we are getting into the mid 90s and some heavier showers and thunderstorms. The other thing we have to look for is the potential for a little fog tomorrow morning. Tonight, just the isolated showers around early, then the patchy fog late. 74 for the low in philadelphia. Muggy night. Even hotter tomorrow and still humid. Mid 90s for the high and sheena showed you how hot its going to feel. By thursday it may start to feel like closer to 100.
