in the early hours of the pope's arrival here to philadelphia, there will be a lot of focus and attention on saint peter and paul behind me, the mother church if you will. coming up in the next hour,

this bill, shame on us. >> planned parenthood has come under attack for videos that surfaced over the summer. leaders were discussing the sale and ice of fetal tissue from late term and partial birth abortion, coming up, we will have more from the debate, including what new jersey governor chris christie had to say. . hang today, the superintendent of camden public schools will hear from parents

serving. so if you want to eat light and not give up rich flavor, do what we do...make it progresso. yeah, pretty amazing week out here. a lot of sunshine, warm. humidity is down. not a whole lot of wind. that's creating the only problem for the air quality alert for the area during the day today. 66 degrees in philadelphia. 50s, you can see in many of the suburbs. of course, it's going to warm up very quickly as we go through the rest of the day. we got dry air all across the region. nothing more than high thin clouds. the one area we will be watching over the next several days is way down through the south. any moisture from that might take five, six days to get up here. but that's what we are focusing on, because as we go through the rest of the week into saturday, you really don't see anything in the way of precipitationings anywhere close by. so it really is an amazing forecast that we have here. for the rest of the day, we see a lot of sunshine, high temperature well above average, still not very humid. then for the rest of the seven-day period, it's starting off again on the warm side, low humidity. so that's still pretty nice. even on saturday, it's fairly warm, sunday we start cooling down a bit. some clouds come in. a slight shower sunday night. temperatures next week come in much colder and below average. construction typically is the issue out there right now. >> let's check 95 see what's happening there. jessica. >> i said it already. we have ongoing construction on i-95, tracy, this morning, which we are watching actively right now. it's approaching the blue route on the northbound side of 95. so you can see, we do have lane restrictions there. traffic moving along nicely, right by the scene. so right now we are not dealing a lot in terms of traffic and volume, so for right now, it's something to watch out for. also, watch out for lane restrictions on the 42 freeway in new jersey on the southbound side heading towards philadelphia right now which is definitely at least a good. once rush hour gets under way later on in the morning. right around 355, three right-hand lanes closed. 6r7b89s it's 4:41. honoring some american heroes. >> we

kinds of chicken soups... but just one kind of chicken. it's white breast meat chicken every time. because white breast meat chicken releases its flavor into the broth and absorbs more flavor from it. and in vineland, it's all about flavor so if you're not going to make your own chicken soup tonight, do what we do...make it progresso. about a quarter to 5:00. president obama is meeting with the
