7:04 am
expression. people are still coming to pay their respects and to read the notes of condolences. of course it's impossible to verify the truth of the claims in it, but we do know that it has come from al qaeda's official media arm. in it one of the leaders of ail die in peninsula said his organization chose the magazine as the charge for the attack and plan and paid for it. new video shows once again the cold determination of the kouachi brothers as they come face-to-face with a police car during their getaway after the killings. they opened up on the police who retreat and the kouachis brazenly drive away. security forces are now reviewing their operations over the three days of shootings and hostage takings, both at the printing plant outside paris and

happening around the world, around france. there's a reference on the tape of looking at the leaders who came together. they said look the suffering is not over. it might be in washington or new york but there are overt threats here. all the intelligence services and law enforcement agencies across the country have to raise their guard. they have to be more aggressive. they'll push buttons that will make people uncomfortable to figure out where the next threat will come from. >> thanks very much. they honored three officers killed in the terror attacks. >> something this big and this horrific and international is symbolic and also meaningful. >> deputy police chief michael downing is from nypd. police from europe came to new

8:15 am
pain? >> well, you know at one point you don't want people to suffer but in general we're giving a lot of narcotics. i think what this report from the government showed is that there aren't a lot of standard path ways. they don't tell you how much to give, when to go up a dose, down a dose, doctors are doing it without a lot of training. narcotics as we all know have a lot of side effects. 17,000 deaths a few years ago from narcotics and over 100,000 admissions. so while they can help pain in a short run, there aren't real study showing they weren't past three or six months. the studies haven't been done so we're kind of flying blind in the medical world. >> that's what would be disserving doctor, r. agus that you're tagging all this medication and spending all this money. what do you do? >> there's the first mainstream movie talking about somebody with chronic pain and that's

american question. in other cultures people cry more openly. in america it's very personal. >> people always cry. >> that's true. not in a therapy session -- even in a therapy session, you're allowed to cry here. what i think it says is what are you crying about when you tell someone, you know i cried here, you know with my girlfriend, it tells you who's close to you and it also tells you how often they cry. you know it's been like six months since i cried. >> it's really an interesting exercise. the other thing is they talk about what they admire in them that that's great way to do things. also at the end of the piece, they say partners should look into each other's eyes without speaking for four minutes. >> that's a long time. >> have you done it? >> i have done it because it's an exercise that you have to do when you become a certified sex therapist actually. >> what are we looking for when

8:53 am
norah said we're getting a surprise. >> that's fo in a race, it's about getting to the finish line. in life, it's how you get there that matters most. like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. my doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. so he talked to me about xarelto®. >>xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesn't require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. for a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. not this time. while i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didn't have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. >>don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or
8:54 am
any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. ask your doctor about xarelto® today.

good morning i'm erika von tiehl. we have an update on our breaking news right now, police chase in collindale delaware county. that chase ended at chester pike and cherry street a little after 7:00 this morning. pursuit started when officers tried to pull over a suspect and that driver sped away. suspect hit at least one car and tried to run over, tried to runaway rather once the the chase ended. that suspect is in custody. police say they found a gun in his car. this is just in bensalem police say this man is one of two burglary suspects who led them on a car chase overnight. the authorities arrested 28 year-old alfonso payton of philadelphia. they say he and another suspect crashed their car in the ditch on state road and
8:56 am
tennis avenue and then ran away. the the the second suspect is still on the run this morning. lets check with katie right now and see how our forecast is going. we have a lot to talk about. >> absolutely, mainly down toward shore points southern new jersey and delaware where we are finding the problems here this morning in terms of the weather impacting any travel plans that you do have. when we start off by taking you out to mobile three right now garden state parkway is still looking slick. know has begun to stick here. but that is not the just golden state parkway it is basically anywhere around those cher point that this storm has had an impact. even they you can see is there i back edge to it, brunt of the moisture has since moved out to sea. i really don't think philadelphia will to have worry about any precipitation this time around. damage has been done here. once we total it all up we are looking at a coat to go an inch, maybe locally little bit more than that across southern
8:57 am
tear of our area. so if you are traveling perhaps, on, northeast extension or any of those northern highways, in worries, just cloud out there. that is something that we have got going for us here. further south that is rule of thumb where we will find precipitation. 23 degrees at the airport. thirty-one ac. thirty-two wildwood. any between those points where we say mobile three travel you are close enough to freezing that may be slick. keep that in mind out and about this morning. temperatures in philadelphia really aren't going to get a chance to go past freezing mark but as we said it doesn't look like it will have a chance to reach us here in the city. by tomorrow high pressure has taken back the lead we are in the the clear and will maryland rate up on the thermometer and we will flirt with 50 by sunday although the trade off there is there may be a new coastal storm developing at that point but if it that is mild it will likely just be a a rain producer. we will keep an eye on that, vittoria. >> good morning, everyone. as we keep an eye on the roads as katie was talking about traveling in the new jersey on
8:58 am
the new jersey turnpike as well as the area surrounding shore points you do want to be mindful of those slick spots and snow but we are not seeing too much volume. if i can give you a bright spot that is all i can give i you. take it easy. take it ease the schuylkill expressway west bun a septa bus accident at belmont avenue off ramp. traveling on the schuylkill westbound you will fine delays approaching montgomery drive, out the through to just about the stretch of 476 and even some volume approaching vine street expressway. you will have eastbound volume as well. over to the 42 freeway north bound side starting to lighten up but around 295, still anticipate delays. the also anticipate close another of chester pike between hook road and macdade boulevard. also police activity at chester pike and cherry streets as erika was talking about a few minutes ago. a as we look at our travel times rush hour mass transit may be your best bet but i-95 schuylkill and 422 all slow erika. >> that is "eyewitness news" for now talk philly coming up
