you will love what i have got to tell you about especially for saturday. at least initially storm scan is quiet. we have had a few speckles of the hint of snow flakes coming in all lake enhanced no organized system whatsoever. high pressure will be our running theme for next couple of days and certainly for today as well. we will expect more sun then anything. twenty-six is your current temperature reported from long wood gardens, lower 30's in bensalem and hainesport and that is giving you a pulse what you are finding around as a whole right new. don't expect too much movement on the thermometer today, very likely we will get you in the upper 30's but there will be at least some sunshine. you'll need heavy winter coat for one thing but you'll also want your sunglasses ready to go. i want to walk you through area headlines as well. brighter day but chilly, and then that warming trend comes up, specifically for weekend but as we had allude todd earlier next week a new storm may be bluing and we will have more on that as the morning progresses. but we sent our friends meisha down to the circus or maybe

ran away too, meisha, i'm's not the sure. my hope is you will climb a trapeze during the morning at some point. >> trust me, katie, i have had my eye on it so that may be. but we will have more on juggling in a bit. but first lets switch our focus to the roadways. we are looking live outside the schuylkill at vine. headlights moving in the eastbound direction. looking okay. what we are seeing is our normal warm up for the morning so to speak. we're looking okay on the the schuylkill. we necessity it will get busy further in the five and 6:00 he clock. let's focus on a more serious accident this is a car fire on route 55 near little mill road in new jersey. one left lane is now opened, all lanes are blocked for a period of time, only the left lane is getting by, this is involving entrapment and you can still use route 47, another accident there i will talk to you about in a moment. one southbound lanes in this area is block, right now by police. right through will be sled

"eyewitness news" reporter jan carabao is responding to how it responds to apple. this could effect all of us. >> this has to do with encryption, in the cell phones and computers, encryption keeps all that personal information safe but it can be used by terrorist to hide

their activity. now a judge's ruling could allow fbi to break through that security shield for the first time in search of evidence. apple promises to fight, complying the company says could put private information of millions around the world at risk. the war on terror, and the right to privacy have now collided, retired fbi agents jj kl a thever is a former supervisor of technical operations in the philadelphia office. he necessary how encryption how protects your privacy on line and on phones can protect terrorist. >> encryption is one of the strongest tools that bad guys have to communicate in ways that cannot be detect. >> reporter: following the san bernardino attack a federal judge has ruled that the fbi can access encrypted information on the phone of said farouk, one of the two killers who gunned down 14 people at a holiday party, before being killed in a shoot-out with police. >> that is what the government needs to further the

investigation to get evidence that they need to prevent future attacks. >> reporter: but immediately following the judge's ruling apple's ceo tim cook vowed to fight, calling the order, chilling. providing the fbi with software to defeat encryption would be like creating a master key, he says, one that could be used over and over again, not just in the san bernardino case but on anyone of the millions of iphones around the world, rob devideo is an associate professor of criminology and justice studies at drexel university. >> the concern is ripple effect, right. this is just a slippery slope. today it is a a request coming for the national security, terrorist investigation, tomorrow it is a request for a child porn investigation. >> reporter: here's the big problem for the fbi, investigators can't just open this phone by trying random pass code until they hit the on the right one. phone has an enabled security feature that is like a self-destruct option after ten

incorrect pass word attempts that would render it unreadable. that is why fbi asked for this order to circumvent that. >> it is pretty handy for you and me, who cannot hack in but apple is trying to block this. what is their next step. >> apple promises to file an appeal that will happen next week and they can take this all the way to the supreme court. >> thanks, jan. 5:37. in your business news this morning, rearranging the chairs in your office, and a hot streak for the market? when is last time you said that? money watch's jill wagner joins us from the new york stock exchange with more, good morning. >> reporter: not this year, good morning. investors make it four in a row? u.s. stock markets staged their first three day rally of the year. the dow jones 257 points, on wednesday, so that means it has now cut its losses for the year by half. nasdaq climbed 98. major recall of toyota this time auto maker is recalling a million rav4 because seat
