diabetes, you know it can be a struggle to keep your a1c down. so imagine ... what if there was a new class of medicine that works differently to lower blood sugar? imagine loving your numbers. introducing once-daily invokana®. it's the first of a new kind of prescription medicine that's used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. invokana® is a once-daily pill that works around the clock to help lower a1c. here's how: the kidneys allow sugar to be absorbed back into the body. invokana® reduces the amount of sugar allowed back in ... and sends some sugar out through the process of urination. and while it's not for weight loss, it may help you lose some weight. invokana® can cause important side effects, including dehydration, which may cause some people to have loss of body water and salt. this may also cause you to feel dizzy, faint, lightheaded, or weak especially when you stand up. other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, changes in urination, high potassium in the blood, or increases in cholesterol. do not take invokana® if you have severe kidney problems or are on dialysis or if allergic to invokana® or its ingredients. symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing. if you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking invokana® and call your doctor right away or go to the nearest hospital. tell your doctor about any medical conditions, medications you are taking, and if you have kidney or liver problems. using invokana® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase risk of low blood sugar. it's time. lower your blood sugar with invokana®. imagine loving your numbers. ask your doctor

he is one of the best actors, when i saw inn glorious bastards i was so afraid of him. >> i was mesmerized. he cans transform into his character. he is opposite of bus stop buddy, cheerful and cute he is and very excited, for him because this is indeed the last day before winter break, 40's our temperatures out there but clouds and showers around as well. kind of drippy, drab, dreary, on this day before christmas eve. a five out of ten. we have a milder temperatures but we have messy weather around. split is showing up on ultimate doppler radar and even if you get the break from the rain it is coming back. you can see it moving from the southwest as well. here in the philadelphia area we're in the little break and areas to the south across the river in gloucester county that will head our way, so it looks like visibility is getting worse at philly international. 48 degrees, and 50 is our high with clouds, and rain and areas of fog on and off throughout the day. so what you got now is what you will have have, for the rest of this tuesday. get used to it. we will tell you when the sun returns, it may be your christmas gift coming up, bob. good morning, everybody. on a tuesday, we are dealing with delays now 7:31. we will take a live look, and heading in to philadelphia, we are dealing with, fog and wet roadways. take a lot at fog here in the background we would typically be able to see girard point double decker bridge. this is i-95 in the stadium area, link to my back here, to give you an idea. here's the 30 bypass socked in with fog leaving downingtown, heading in toward king have of prussia. here we go sue just showed us a live shot at the airport philly international. it says weather delays of one hour and 50 minutes, on arrivals and, of course that will turn in and departure delays as well. if you have a flight scheduled out of philadelphia you may want to check with the airline before we head down to the airport, chris and alex, back to you. >> man who shot two new york city police officers posted threats on social media, before the shooting that showed, hatred for police, on instagram ismaaiyl brinsley wrote quote i'm putting wings on pigs today, they take, one of ours, let's take two of their. >> his account has been suspended as police investigate this. this brings up an important question can you you face criminal charges for what you write on social media. lets get to fox 29 legal analyst ken rottweiler. we tell people be careful what you put in social media but now it has a new meaning. >> if it is a true threat you can be arrested. there is a man in james, alanis here in federal prison in pennsylvania. he was arrested for making threats to his wife on facebook. they arrested him. sentenced to four years in jail. his case is now before the supreme court of the united states, on this issue of whether threats are actionable from the criminal standpoint he is from the red airing use. >> right. >> in this case chief justice john roberts say how is what anthony did on facebook any different from what rapper and eminem writes in his lyrics threatening specific people with death. >> right. they say it is then artistic expression but they are getting away from this. this will set a standard from what you can say on the internet. fit is a true threat. if it is a true threat and person you threaten is reasonably threatened by that that is test that so far courts have applied in making decision whether you can be criminally prosecuted. what she's basically making an argument before the supreme court it noise the what the reese nal person would think it is whether i intended to be a threat. it is a ridiculous standard. subjective standoff. you have to get in the mine of the person who makes the threat this will be decided by supreme court and it will come down in like june. when it comes down it will set standard for everything that goes on the internet. >> it is a amazing, sometimes when you see things in social media tweeting about, facebook status, i mean to go through and you cannot tell, it is all about wording, and you are reading, how do you know fit is actually a true threat. and take it a step further, whether it is verbal or in writing by way of of being on line, how is the the law, protecting person who makes the the threat at this point and reciprocal of that how do you prosecute words, where does the law fall on verbal. >> they will make a distinction here. i think they will say there is in distinction if you say verbally face to face or if you say it on the internet fit is a true threat and if reasonable person would believe they are threaten that will be criminally prosecuted. my question is, there was protesters and they were chanting what do we want bed cops what do we want it now. >> throughout the streets of new york city. >> is that protect streets or could those people shut down because those are threatening words. >> isn't the difference that is just a mass statement in general verse making a specific threat begins a specific person. >> that is very good. you should go to law school. >> very good, chris. >> i could get paid better. >> it does make a difference whether it is specific to a person or just generally to a group. but police could say by what they were saying by what that crowd were saying we were threaten. now what happened is two police officers have been shot. there was in reason to be threaten. i think supreme court could make a ruling shut down speech such as that threatening speech. >> even with the suspect involve with the nypd officers that shooting fact that he posted stuff in social media and he said someone else, posted some things and they sent officers over to investigate to question him. when it comes to a judge signing off a warrant to go in someone's house is that enough to seeing something on instagram. >> as we go by first amendment was created, thomas jefferson and james madison never intended to protect speech where one person threatened another. that was not purpose of the first amendment. so now supreme court has taken a look at these cases. social media is a new animal, new way of communicating between people. supreme court will come down on the side of this is not protect speech if you threatened somebody whether it be in person or internet you will be criminally prosecuted. >> interesting. >> we will talk later. >> merry christmas to both of you guys. >> merry christmas. >> happy holidays. foot pant triness our area grateful for everybody giving spirit this holiday. >> they say it is just in the enough. how you can help give more people a happy i saw a commercial that said you can save $500 by switching to progressive. that was me, mom. [ laugh ] i thought you said, "that was me, mom." [ laughter ] that is right, a blue look over philadelphia international the airport, look at that, fog, rain. >> when elvis sang this song. >> there is delays also at the airport, what are the delays. >> one hour and 50 minutes. >> wow. >> basically two hours. >> 150 minutes between three and a half hours. >> at the airport. >> organizations throughout the country are working to provide toys and food for those in need for christmas. >> but local volunteers are reminding us that giving, must continue throughout the year to meet all of the demand. karen, so what is causing the the shortage. >> more people in need really guys. charities say governmental budget cuts combined with job loss and other economic factors are increasing their demand. we visited montgomery county oic and the society and hundreds of families will have a happy christmas because of the toys and meals donated through their programs, this year but meeting goals is toughen with more volunteers and donations and the hardest part really is meeting those needs all year round. >> food that you see here right now is food that will get us through winter and into the spring. >> this isn't enough. >> well, it is not enough. >> if you can give, remember the society says they have about 600 private donors but serving 1500 families, today will be a big day for both charities. they are trying to get the those prearrange donations out to the registered families ahead of christmas. come to mize fox fill.com and click on the as seen ot v tab to find out how to contribute to the charities. >> obviously a great cause. >> hopefully inspiring people to give then. a story gaining national attention now but for some have of our viewers they are starting to see this in our area do you notice any strange about this picture? what shoppers are so upset about. quincy is enjoying a spa day with a surprising guest, santa. >> i have santa with me, we are here, are you okay, getting your mustache trimmed. >> i always stop in here to have it done, these boys are good. >> man, south philadelphia santa coming back. yes, here's another look at fantasy christmas, the christmas card, it looks like this but we

on christmas day, we will have the sun coming out in the afternoon but it will be a very blustery day and for friday which we will start first day of kwanzaa, 53 degrees and some sunshine. so for today, the rain a a arrives, last night, still with us this morning, on and off, very drippy, really not any heavy rain, we're saving that for tomorrow, which will be a very difficult travel day for that reason but you can see in the central part of pennsylvania temperatures are low enough it is icy so we don't have that to deal with in our area, right now, and, visibility is not great. it gets worse every time we check philadelphia international. 1.7-mile. mile an a half in mount pocono and same in lancaster, so with all this rain and moisture in the air, even with some breezes, it is still foggy but temperatures are well above average, 48 degrees in philadelphia, 48 in dover, this is why it is rain and only rain that we are dealing work 12 miles an hour wind, it is not helping with the fog at all, and next seven days we will be taking a bit of the roller coaster ride, really plumetting, towards monday and we will check in, and, seven day forecast already ran through, friday it looks like saturday and sunday will be okay. mix of clouds both days and then temperatures really plunge on monday, and flurry is possible, in the morning, we will see what happens with that but mild temperatures all the way through the weekend, bob. >> sue, good morning, we are dealing with wet roads and fog on this probably what is, last day of school for the kids. you can see them crossing the

here's a live look at schuylkill expressway right here near south street and here's a live look at i-95, right here near philly international airport. poor visibility giving airline pilots tough run

class of medicine that works differently to lower blood sugar? imagine loving your numbers. introducing once-daily invokana®. it's the first of a new kind of prescription medicine that's used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. invokana® is a once-daily pill that works around the clock to help lower a1c. here's how: the kidneys allow sugar to be absorbed back into the body. invokana® reduces the amount of sugar allowed back in ... and sends some sugar out through the process of urination. and while it's not for weight loss, it may help you lose some weight. invokana® can cause important side effects, including dehydration, which may cause some people to have loss of body water and salt. this may also cause you to feel dizzy, faint, lightheaded, or weak especially when you stand up. other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, changes in urination, high potassium in the blood, or increases in cholesterol. do not take invokana® if you have severe kidney problems or are on dialysis or if allergic to invokana® or its ingredients. symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing. if you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking invokana® and call your doctor right away or go to the nearest hospital. tell your doctor about any medical conditions, medications you are taking, and if you have kidney or liver problems. using invokana® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase risk of low blood sugar. it's
