say we didn't. well, you can see, there is plenty of snow up to the north of us. luckily that's not happening around here. so it is a day where we can see improvement. there we go. we've zoomed in. and we'll look at the live picture of 44 degrees, and -- >> i'm stand over here. >> somebody was messing with this computer yesterday. forty-two in wilmington, 36 in allentown, the only place where

in the winds. closure of the vine street expressway, still in place here, the vine street expressway closed between the schuylkill and broad street. now, within that closure at the intersection of broad and vine the traffic lights are out. right there in front of rome and catholic high school. hopefully the work crews will get there and hit that reset button before the height of the rush hour. otherwise, speedometers loot being good, probably little slower than normal this morning, expect possible weather delays down at philadelphia international airport. maybe for the first flights out, rain, always, leaves us with delays. slippery platforms, not because of snow and ice, but because of the rain for the regional rails, be careful board next to the buses and trolleys. but so far so good. we're out of the gate with no delays on mass transit. thomas, karen, back to you you. >> is it too late to hit the reset button? >> not yet. >> time now 4:04. here we go, after eight years of

america's dom okay rasi still faces serious threats. >> we're not where we need to be. all of just more work to do. if every economic issue is framed as a struggle between a hard-working white middle

personal and financial information against him. >> mr. trump and president obama were presented with that information during last week's intelligence briefing. the information was compiled by a former western intelligence operative hired to do research. first on trump, by republican opponent, then by democrats. it is not been subs stance ate dollars, james cole i apparently aware of it when he a zero announced he was re-opening the vehicles into hillary clinton's emails ahead of the election. >> and, donald trump taking to twitter, responding saying, fake news. a total political witch hunt. >> senator jeff sessions is going to have another day before a senate committee. he was in the hot seat for more than eight hours on tuesday. his first days of the confirmation hearing for attorney general covered a wide range of topics, as you can imagine. allegations of racism have dogged him ever since his failed bid to become a federal judge back in 1986. he denied those claims again yesterday. and said he would recuse himself from future investigation g of hillary clinton's emails or the clinton foundation. >> i did not harbor the anonymous at this, the ideas, i was accused of. i did not. with regard to secretary clinton, and some of the comments i made, i do believe that that could place myself objectivity in question. >> democratic senator cory booker of course from our area new jersey is said to break with senate history and testify against sessions today. this would be the first time the sitting senator has testified against another sitting senator, nominated for a cabinet position. >> time now 4:10. a man is in the hospital this morning after police say the person he attempted to rob fought back and started shooting. let's get out to steve keeley live at einstein medical center this morning. what went down here, steve? >> reporter: seeing one of these incidents, every week, our competition will use that old cliche phrase turn the tables, we'll actually write something instead, but here we go again. look at our video. north fifth street. this is a business corridor. we've covered armed holds up hears before. here we go again. a 19 year old with a gun trying to hold somebody up and picking the wrong target. that target has a gun as well only this person has a gun and a permit to carry it. usually when you have got a gun and a permit, you take target practice. you know how to carry it. you know how to fire it. better aim and quicker draw. that was the case here. and somehow this 19 year old armed holdup man survived and is stable, we're told, despite being shot six times around 11:30 last night, his holdup days will be over, at least for the time being, as he'll likely go from a hospital bed to bed in a prison cell. karen, thomas? >> reporter: thank you, steve. also, right now, police are investigating a drive by shooting this happened in frankford, victims say it happened on the 5100 block of penn street. you can see the crime scene tape. two victims walked into the emergency room and reported that they had been shot. they said a gray car had driven up to them and opened fire on their vehicle, one of the victims was shot in the hand. >> in hunting park, investigators called out to the scene after car slammed into a pole. it happened about 12:30 this morning, on the boulevard. you can see the gray car has some pretty serious damage right there. no one, though, seriously hurt. >> developing story this morning. there is a warning for parents of the pediatric office in ocean county about 900 children received potentially compromised vaccines. it happened at southern ocean pediatrics, and family medicine. this is manahawken. authorities say the vaccines were stored improperly. now the discovery was made during a compliance visit to the office over the summer. children treated at that center between november 2014 through july of 2016 may need to be re vaccinated. >> all right, it is 4:12. coming up on good day, there is a video that's left a lot of people discussed. why the store owner there thinks the family used a little child to commit a crime. hey, bob? >> hey, everybody, good morning, it is 4:12. we'll hit the gas and go for a ride. vine expressway still closed until 5:00 this morning. but let's go outside, because you're going to get a free car wash as we look live downtown philly, the ben franklin parkway, everything is wet, sue has the forecast, and we will grab a cup of coffee and meet you back here in about two and a half. >> starting out with a look at the radar. rain pretty heavy in the overnight hours. now it is in the process of moving off shore. this is system number one. there is another one rolling in tonight. we will tell you about it in a second. there is some rain hanging on around the jersey shore in atlantic county, cape may counties this morning, as well as ocean county. that's not as heavy. that is on its way out. so where is it raining right snow? around dennis township, around little egg harbor, little part of the atlantic city expressway. that's what we've got going on for right now. let's look into our future. looks like we will be between 45 and 50 degrees, for high temperature today. you can see, from the satellite picture, there is going to be some clouds around this morning. so we get enough sunshine. we could make it to 50 degrees. then warmfront number two comes in tonight. it will probably be after sunset again. this time, it looks like all of our temperatures will be warming up. but everybody just gets rain instead of dicey conditions when this event started last night. so, will rain in the overnight hours. we'll get rid of it before rush hour tomorrow morning. that's convenient, isn't it? and then tomorrow watch the temperature, it gets to up between 60 to 62 degrees. it is a one-day special. but we'll enjoy t because temperatures will fall on friday, after a cold front comes through. right now, it is 44 degrees in philadelphia, it is a degree below freezing in mount pocono. we have 37 degrees in reading. 44 degrees in dover. 48 degrees atlantic city. average hi, 40 degrees. will we ever get above average? yes, we did yesterday, with high of 42. and what a difference it was from the 23 degrees of the day before. so, looking ahead to the seven day forecast, we will have 48, maybe 50 degrees today. sixty tomorrow. temperatures will be dropping, the winds really pick up on friday. saturday, very if-ee day with the possibility of some snow in the morning. a chilly high during the day of only 30 degrees. and then up into the 40's for the rest of the holiday weekends. bob kelly? >> sue, good morning, everybody, 4:17 on this wednesday hump day. little hump to get over today. obviously no snow. no black ice. but rain. so mother nature's way of taking the hose and squirting down the sidewalk here this morning. here is a live look at i95 right near philadelphia international airport. sue mentioned rain is on the way out. waking up and walking out the front door everything is wet. all of the slush that was on your front step, driveway, the sidewalk, has slowly melted away leaving behind a big old puddle. the puddles are on the roadway. that's where we'll get hit with and wipers may be used intermittently throughout the morning rush hour. but your car is nice and clean. all of the white grit that had accumulated over the last couple of days is gone. here's a live look downtown philly. first of all the vine street expressway still closed between broad street and the schuylkill and the traffic lights are out within that detour at broad and vine. so if you are coming into philadelphia, until about 5:00 this morning, again, the vine street expressway closed, jump off at 30th, south street, or at spring garden. otherwise, speedometer readings not bad at all. probably going to see some slower than normal speeds up until say 6:00 or 7:00 until the roads start to dry out from the early morning rain. accident all the way up here in pennsburg, at six and main, just off the pennsylvania turnpike. and a new traffic pattern coming our way later on today. state road right at the

group then gets into a huddle. well, you are seeing the cars they stole. but here is the surveillance video once again, they get into the huddle. them the adult passes the car to one of the children

you can see, they're all orchestrated on it. they totally worked in unicent to do this. >> reporter: this is not your average little toy car here. the owner says the car is worth between 700 $1,500.

that's a 1040. of course we all have to file our taxes, wait until the last minute? >> we do. the very last minute. >> usually because you owe. but if you're owed a refunds from uncle sam, could you get it later than expected. >> and that's because the irs is saying that they're delaying tax refunds for more than 40 million families. this will affect families who claim the earned income tax credit, and the additional child tax credit. a new federal law requires the irs to delay the refunds in an effort to fight fraud. the irs commissioner says the agency is sensitive to the fact that many taxpayers need their refunds to pay our bills and settle debts. the agencies will start releasing the funds in february, february 15th, they say. >> never a fun time. time now 4:49. one of the biggest debates in philadelphia continues to be the price after sweetened beverage. city's new expanded pre k program paid for by the controversial new soda tax, what it is all about. >> as our bruce gordon went over to talk to the mayor. the mayor said he doesn't care what the critics have to say. >> you like rain? >> after more than a week out of the public eye, mayor kenney visited with pre k student at the children's playhouse in south philly. where 30 children, ages three-five, are newly added to the program. part of first step in the city-wide pre k expansion. with the gold of giving an additional 6500 youngsters, a head start on their education. phl pre k is paid for by the city's new penny and a half per ounce tax on sugary drinks. and the mayor was quick to dismiss my reference to critics of the tax. >> you will have cranky people who complain, and it will subside, and we will move on. >> but just a few blocks from the playhouse, at the j and lydell i and mini market, owner shows me the receipt from his last soda purchase. >> i can't make -- >> you can't make a living doing this?

>> because of the tax, yes. i do not, do not, pay for it at all. >> but kenny insists the investment in early education is worth the price, and the folks like our friends at the register, the mayor sounds un sympathetic. >> your life doesn't depend on soda. so it is not like an elixir of life that you need to drink every day or you die. so if you don't want to buy it, don't buy it. if you want to buy it, go buy it. but i think in the end the overall majority of people understand that harrisburg and washington are not providing funds for education. and we need to provide funds for education or these children will languish in poverty. >> mayor kenney also took a shot at some retailers who he says are gouging consumers, and then blaming city hall in the new tax. here are three standard beverage sizes. 16-ounce drink, should cost about a quarter more, 24 cents in new tax. the tax on this 20-ounce drink should rise by 30 cents. and, this 2-liter bottle, well it is about 67 ounces, that means the new tax equals a dollar. if your prices have risen well beyond this for these size beverages, maybe it is time you have a talk with your grocer. i'm bruce gordon, "fox 29 news". >> a lot of numbers to go through. bruce, time 4:52. here we go. step-by-step. always kinds of chuckle when somebody falls. not a good thing. meek mills loses it, all caught on camera. why the philadelphia rapper may soon become a meme. >> 4:55, ever think about rocking out on stage?
