It just made me really question society to be honest, i mean, i was like okay i guess people dont understand people dont care. Reporter family now says that anger has turned into sadness for the person who obviously needs a lesson on tolerance. Perhaps they should take a page from garrett who inspiring others with the foundation formed in his name which is helping other families cope with this fatal disease.

Well all over the World Leaders holding their breath wondering whats going to happen next aspired President Trump makes the historic and controversial decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. He said the u. S. Would move its embassy from telaviv to the holy city. Now the white house is facing some worldwide blow back and there are new concerns about the future of peace in the middle east. The move goes against decades of u. S. Foreign policy despite dire warnings from around the world, its president insists it was time for a new approach and there are now concerns about safety for americans worldwide. Embassies in europe and the middle east sent out warns to cities abroad. President trump says todays decision was not meant to cause outrage but just the opposite. This decision is not intended in any way to reflect a departure from our strong commitment to facilitate a lasting peace agreement. Protesters erupted in gaza as palestinians responded to the president s decision. Some militants groups are calling for a day of rage. Palestinian leaders say the move is a step back diplomatically and that the us is now no longer a sponsor to the peace process. Many in our area closely watching the president as announcement for supporters of the move it touched off a happy celebration more than 20 years in the making. Our bruce gordon has the story from rhawnhurst. I am also directing reporter at the klein life usenior center in rhawnhurst thy gathered around the television to see history in the making.

Where are you . Reporter by the time of yissies birth u. S. Government was already talking about officially recognizing jerusalem as israels capital. Israels most important government offices there are, the nations president and Prime Minister have their official residences in jerusalem. But palestinians have long staked their own hitter are you tour cal claim to the city. Especially the eastern sector. They are horrified that President Trump has given official to the israeli argume argument. Any position of the kind is absolutely unacceptable. Reporter the mood at the life life center was one of jubilation on this day everyone here notice the president s announcement in pro vac can tiff in region where a single word or gesture can ignite violence. We may see saber rivalry or something catastrophic happening to this country. As for the woman her husband sent her text message reading yissie is officially born in israel. She thinks of her now grown son and reflects on mr. Trumps huge gmble. Im glad to see hes using his power to try to promote peace. Reporter certainly there a. I spoke to number of people who support the palestinian position that they too have claim on the city. But in every case especially for those with family leg or near jerusalem there was fear of a appearing on camera to denounce the president s decision that fear was Even Stronger among muslims.

Chris cringle has a different jingle in bucks county. These pictures show santa with tattoos that say naughty on one arm and nice on the other. As you can see, he likes to turn christmas on its head for the kids but many parents are divided. He holds some of the kids upside down. Gets a little goofy with them. That might be a little rough on some of the kids. I dont know that i necessarily would appreciate it. Naughty and nice tattoos, yeah. Lets be lets be kid friendly. Reporter its why the new Company Managing santas operation at the ax forward valley mall in langhorne told him to knock off the reindeer games, putting the fun on ice.

He wants that special connection with everyones kids. Reporter meantime the professional photographer who work with santa away from the mall on other projects that have nothing to do with the mall, well she says theyll still take pictures in the non traditional farm mat. Back to you. All right, dave, thanks. Right now, the men at the center of a pennsylvania story that went viral are talking to fox 29. Did a state rep go too far when he kind of scolded a fellow lawmaker we first brought you this story last night on fox 29 news at 10 00. A question of inappropriate touching or was eight bigtime over reaction . Take look. Theres a better way to do this, guys we dont have to proceed on this one. I hear ya. I understand theres some hard feelings with penn representative bradford,. Yeah. Look. Im heterosexual. I have a a wife. I love my wife. I dont like men as you might. Stop touching me all the time. [ laughter ] keep your hands to yourself. Like if you want to touch somebody you have people on your side of the aisle that might like it, i dont. That was representative Darrell Metcalf respond to go as you saw being touched by representative Matt Bradford. So many people are arguing was it all a joke or homophobic didnt Bradford Cross a line by touching metcalf in the first place . Hank flynn went after both lawmakers today. Reporter its hank im at the state house in harrisburg where Darrell Metcalf a representative from Butler County was touched on the forearm yesterday. He immediately went into a tyrant about who is gay and who is not. My take is, thats little bit weird. Publicly i told him stop touching me. I talk to him privately. Stop touching me. Rem tiff Darrell Metcalf does not like being touched by representative Matt Bradford even lightly on the forearm metcalf made that and a few other things clear in Committee Meeting on tuesday. Im a heterosexual. I have a wife. I love my wife. I dont like men as you might. But dont stop touching me all the time. If metcalf doesnt want to be touched thats his business. I asked him why the first thing that came to mind was sexual preference and liking or not liking men. I was how was that sort of like where it wound up going when you chose to make sure we had public attention on the issue of him touching me. I just would have said, stop touching me whats that got to do with gay or whatever . What did it have to do with gay. Im heterosexual. I dont want other men touching me as hes been touch mowing. If he wants to touch another man, im not the man to be touching. Matt bradford co chairs the State Government committee with metcalf. He was blown away he says that a simple gesture could elicit such a hot response. But then he says, metcalf is unpredictable. Obviously were in close quarters. Were the two chair men. We work together. Obviously im inevitably a philadelphia guy i use my handsome sure i have. Im sure he may have even said, yeah, door veal peculiar duck. You do the history you realize darrell has history of blowing up and making some crazy comments and doing some extreme things at hes hearings. Reporter brian sims sits on the committee and hurts the rant. He questions metcalfs chairmanship on any committee. There are women who chair on that committee see his sexism every day. Hes in the rank and file member. This is the person that controls the committee that oversees these things that we now know he is aggressively wrong about. Sims calls metcalf moral crass broken and democrats are calling on mike turzi to pull his champion shim. With turzi running for governor well see what happens. If you dont want to be touched you immediately riff on who is gay to prove that point, youre probably revealing more about yourself than you realize. Im hank and thats my take. Now this is just creepy. Watch that guy. Looks around. Then cops say stairs right into a womans bathroom until she caught him. And he ran. Recognize that logo . Well, there are some big changes for Wal Mart Stores. Theyre no longer called Wal Mart StoresDelaware County principal sudden regular zig nation left parents with all kinds of questions and all the school board will say is, its due to an inappropriate action.

Earning 126 grand a year and had taught math before becoming an administrator. In meeting with fox 29 the superintendent of schools said only that the district expected high standards for employee behavior. Parents seemed unhappy to see a tv crew wednesday. One woman was brought to tears while others were left with concerns. It was obviously alluding that it was something abrupt, um, so it leaves all of us questioning of course. Reporter peterkin coached in three sports. The attorney for the School District also would not comment but the district is moving on. The former assistant principal here is now the acting principle.

You mentioned the winds. The winds have just now started to pick up and thats going to be concern for the firefighters as they try to keep the situation under control in the canyon around bell air. We spent most of the day on a canyon road where there were at least six homes that were either destroyed or damaged. Heavily damaged by this fire. So the fire had record up the canyon. A natural chimney one of the firefighters told me and then affected one house after the other. Two houses we noticed burned absolutely to the ground.

Reporter through therapy and time, she began to turn her life around. Took a job at the princeton ywca wrote articles, became one of the silence brokers even before this level of exposure. I really wanted to look into work that made a difference. Making my experience kind of means something and change other people lives.

Maybe rape culture is changed and people change their minds or treat survivors differently or that it makes a difference. Amanda is one of those people who wanted to make a difference. Her voice need to do be heard so that other people can learn from her experiences. It was painful but she did it for goodness sake. Im Bill Anderson. Order stuff online for the holidays.
