All of us here in fill bidding final farewell to a fallen hero, fire fighter lieutenant Matt Latourneau. He who his life trying to save other lives from, people, in a burning building. Family, friends, First Responders, even those who never met him lined up to pay their respects last night, you can see, very long line, and this morning, Fire Fighters from across the country they will gather in center city for a final tribute. In fact they are already gathering, jenny joyce is live at cathedral basilica of saints peter and paul where services will be at 11 00 this morning but also a viewing at 9 00 but lets begin with steve keeley over the engine 43 we know where that is at 21st and market. That is where procession will start, steve. They were supposed to start gathering right now, but as you can see the firehouse is empty not because they are meeting at a procession but because they are going on call after call after call after we got here nonstop work since we arrived at 3 00, in the just that dock fire at dave and busters, now another call in west philadelphia. That was their first call today since we have been here so no rest for bravest right here. The only thing we can mention here is we are at a firehouse that has been close to a lot of death and destruction in this town. This is same block where that house collapsed two doors away and i can see where the meridian plaza used to be from here right across the city hall, fire in 1991 in february in the winter again, that killed three philadelphia Fire Fighters. As a kiddy remember death of eight philadelphia Fire Fighters at gulf refinery fire my odd ol in this business walt hunter reminded me of the philadelphia bulletin editorial commemorating death of those Fire Fighters at that gulf refinery fire in 1975. It said this, a fire fighter is a hero day they take the job, after that, everything they do is in the line of duty Matt Latourneau would say right on with that. Isnt that the truth, great quote. Very well said. In a couple hours as we mentioned people will make their way to the cathedral basilica of saints peter and paul. They should be showing up there very soon. And jenny joyce is already there, ready for when they will be coming. Good morning, jenny. Good morning mike and alex. It will be culmination of the week long series of events, and actions to honor the life of lieutenant matthew latourneau for last couple days the city of philadelphia has been lit up in red to honor this philadelphia hero. Just like yesterday we expect to see hundreds if not thousands of people show up for a second viewing for the lieutenant followed by an 11 00 a. M. Funeral mass. Ahead of the mass we will hear from philadelphias mayor jim kenney, fire commissioner tiehl and luke latourneau, matthews brother. Mass begins at 11 00 a. M. And is also opened to the public. There are several family members, involved in the mass, nieces, nephews, cousins, lieutenant latourneaus mother , sister, two brothers will serve as pallbearers. As we have reported all week matthew is a springfield Delaware County native very involved in his community and Cardinal Ohara graduate today , High School Choir will be there to honor their alumni who lived a full life of service, mike and alex. My gosh, it will be emotional, that is for sure, jenny. Speaking of engine 43 i am sure they are fire company that respond todd this what we are going to right now. This is a live shot from dave and busters. We all know that place very well. Apparently a fire broke out in the dock, that goes on both side and behind dave and busters. Delaware avenue, columbus boulevard, whichever way you want to call it, very close to callowhill street you know where dave and busters is. It started about, oh, about an hour ago, we have it under control about 40 minutes, be in got hurt, it looks like it is all out. 6 07. President ial profanity harsh reaction from both side after President Trump described haiti and some african nations as s hole countries. Umhmm. Plus race against the clock, rescue workers hoping to find survivors still in the mess left behind by those deadly mud slide. It i they will take a left turn when that Police Vehicle moves they will move in front and that is where jenny joyce camera is. We have got this covered, from above, and if sky fox can get up we will use that too but it is raining, ceiling is low, but we certainly have cameras all over for you. Okay. You do have the shot, of jenny . Okay, just popped up. So, there they are the fire trucks already lining up. Lining up for viewing that will take place at 9 00 but procession will be from firehouse 43 over to the basilica that starts at 8 15. That will go from 21st and market, down market to 18th take the left and then go over to the cathedral. They should be there by 8 30. I would think so. We kind of miss Brian Dawkins especially when it comes to pumping up the team. Lets go back in time a bit and this is what he would be doing tomorrow night. Come nation. Great job, whatever. Lets dominate. Well yeah. Play so hard is not coming out of your nose. Eagles fans and people in the know is there a Brian Dawkins on our team now who would do that speech. Who would take his role. Is it malcolm . Fletcher . Im not sure. Jaylen. Jaylen mills. Lets find out get on twit ter and answer that for me the game tomorrow 4 30 at the linc. We want weather to be a big factor because falcons are used to playing indoor, we get to throw elements and maybe make it harder to win. A little bit of rain, freezing rain. The eagles practice outside at the linc to get used to the elements yesterday. They are expecting some wind, and certainly colder then it was yesterday when they were practicing. So heres the deal, front page of the daily news or back page of the daily news because our president took the front page, there is an insert, a whole section and it says just take a deep breath. You have to trust in nick. We will get nick foles on the phone. I can only imagine what he is feeling. A little bit of pressure. We will get him on the phone and we will conference in a number of people, look at all of the people we have lined up , President Trump will call in, andy read, meryl reese, joel embiid if we can get him we are having trouble getting nim london hopefully that will happen and not sure about the president either after what happened yesterday but we will try to get these calls made have you seen images of southern california, three days in the mud slide, of southern california, more than 40 people are still, missing now. Officials have confirmed that the death toll still stands at 17. Look at this video of the mud coming down the car. Somebody riding in it like a tobagon in the burbank, california area in the heart of the los angeles. Other two people in the car man and his girl friend, i mean what can you do you have to ride it out. Officials say no one was hurt and car was not damaged which really is good news because we have seen some video, and pictures of cars that have been smashed up, from the mud damage, that is hollywood hills. But this neighborhood was under a mandatory evacuation and this just show why. Yes. Once you get caught in there is nothing to do. I have seen cars like that before but i never seen anybody trying to drivein it. Steering all the way down. That water had been little deeper, no control at all. Yeah. Luckily in one was hurt there. Look at our temperatures as we get started today 61 in philadelphia. Fiftyfive mount pocono. Wildwood. Fiftythree in wilmington. Well above normal high for january, of course, it is just not staying that way. You can see what will happen, freezing rain and snow behind the rain, this is where the cold front is right now kind of, cutting through indiana there but we dont expect any of that wintry precipitation, i think by the time rain end we will dry out and just get cold tomorrow and im talking very, very cold, you see rain coming in heavier in someplace s, mostly west of philadelphia right now, we have a Winter Weather advisory for berks county, lehigh, northampton, carbon, monroe when this thing end tomorrow morning it will get icy. That is only place we will expect that wintry precipitation, not here. 62 degrees today. Temperatures falling through 40s, 30s, 20s by end of the game tomorrow and then high of only 28 on sunday, but by monday the holiday it is only 30 degrees, at lee we will have sunshine but get used to those cold temperatures, chance of some snow, tuesday into wednesday, more on that, after we get through weekend, bob kelly. Got to get through a rough morning rush hour, it will be one of those bad hair days dont wear your good shoes, everything wet, live look at schuylkill expressway right here near king of prussia rain drops on the camera lens what your windshield will look like problems on the market frankford line they started off with manpower issues couple sick calls i guess and then power issues where we are between allegheny and berks station, they had to take out third power rail and they are single tracking and so everybody has to board. Thirty minute delays out of the gate on the market frankford line, some Regional Rail line running with delays, overturned tractor trailer, route 70 at route 72, the 4 mile circle and not that far away another one route 206 and route 70 both on the circles expect delays down at philly international, last night, they lost the ability to process credit card payments for everybody leaving parking lot you could only get out if you are able to pay cash. Who has that anymore. Exactly. Talk about hot mess. I am hoping things go okay this morning. Do you want to use broad street subway on sunday because get this we have eagles game at 4 35. Yes. Concert at 7 00, sold out across the street. The killers. So, 70,000 fans will be leaving, their mood will determine whether they will be leaving nicely or disorderly. Very true. 15,000 fans coming in. Saturday, tomorrow, south philadelphia. Now i would think there are a lot of eagles fans like their rock music, nice little day, wouldnt it, go to the game, you see a victory and get to the killers concert. Providing you can still get tickets. Sold out. Please. Well, you could get tickets for us regular people. You can get tickets to anything. Can we show the cover of the daily news first, trump why dough we want folks from those s hole countries looking at for number two is the way editors at, our editors at daily news say looking at our number two. New York Daily News has a big poop emoji. No apologies from the white house following what some are calling a racist statement made by President Trump. I dont think he knew the rest of us were going to learn about this. It was in a closed meeting. But several people have confirmed it, and people are reacting, thomas. How would you not expect this to come out. Bipartisan meeting, white house this morning certainly in the backing down over President Trump facing Harsh Criticism for those reported word and expletives during a meeting on immigration in the oval office. Washington powe reporting that a president asked a group of bipartisan lawmakers why do we want these people from blank hole countries coming here. President trump was reportedly referring to haiti and several nationness africa and central america. According to the post the president then said they should bring in more immigrants from nations like norway. Paul rowland with the Haitian Coalition of philadelphia says President Trumps comments are really a slap in the face for all americans. Absolute discuss and to see a man in such a high position with so little understanding of social dynamics. Hard workers, proud and we are proud to be american from haitian origin. So at this point this is more than just sources say here the white house not denying any of this, President Trump made those comments, and in a statement white house said certain washington politicians choose to fight for Foreign Countries but President Trump will always fight for the American People, of course, Congressional Democrats are reacting by accusing the president of racism, some republicans also voicing their disapproval saying it is okay to fight for American People without insulting an entire nation. Or continent. Yeah. More on that Different Countries same problem for sixers. Why dont we just travel 6,000. Maybe they were jet lagged. They had a 22point lead in the first half, that could be jet lag this got tired and celtics came back. Celtics live in london wouldnt they be jet lagged. We need an excuse. It didnt owned well. Jolly good, oh, jolly bad, with dunkin deals, get a 2 medium latte from 2 to 6 pm. Looks like its latte oclock. Time for a rich, creamy afternoon pickmeup with a 2 medium latte from 2 to 6 pm.

Country crock has always been made with the goodness of plants. It has real, simple ingredients. And the same Country Fresh taste you love. Welcome to crock country. Good morning im sean bell just a day away from the playoff game, eagles, falcons and some people are still sort of missing carson wentz right now but coach Doug Pederson says the team has got to move past that. The train is still kind of moving. Even though we are sick to our stomachs these guys are not with us, you know, out there on the field, the train is still moving and the sooner we get over that, you know, and get on to the next order of business, the weather we will become. Another eagles note they will play the jaguars, in london, next year, kind of hate these games you never know what you will get from each team. Match up will be considered an away game for both squad. So that is a good thing. Yesterday, sixers played celtics in london and it didnt go too well they were up by 22 at one point, in this game but of course they blew the lead, who it in the second half, philadelphia native Marcus Morris hitting a three, sixers lose 114103 that is sports in a minute im sean bell. It will be in the 60s again to i day. It will also rain. That is okay. It makes a difference. I know. We will take it, sue. By game time tomorrow it will be about 30. Wow. Ouch. Crazy weather. We have seen heavy rain moving through the city, Delaware County and lots of other place s, how long will this last, how far will temperature fall after the rain end. We have all those answers coming up and steve you said it earlier, appropriate for the events of today. Reporter it seems like always, it pores at one of these funerals for first responder, again, remember the delaware state trooper just a few months ago and as you see bagpipers showing up having to battle win, rain and just the we just moved in about four months ago, but the living rooms pretty blank.
