i'm jessica dean. >> and i'm nicole brewer. yukee washington has the night off. in newark, delaware a female victim was approached by a suspect while walking to her apartment. he pulled a handgun and forced her to that apartment where someone answered the door and the suspect ran. detectives believe the same suspect is responsible for two other attacks last month. one of those happened at the top of the hill apartments, the other at the arundel apartments. in both of those cases, the women were sexually assaulted and forced to withdraw cash from atms. also tonight. >> we don't put our hands on children, we don't do any of this. >> reporter: shocking video shows a day care worker pushing a young child down the steps and tonight we're hearing from the woman who uncovered that abuse. surveillance cameras were installed at the delaware county

day care just minutes before that incident happened now a teacher is under arrest. parents were stunned to hear the news. natasha? >> reporter: top care of the future day care center behind me had just installed eight new surveillance cameras just before this happened and for some parents it wasn't a moment too soon. >> it still hurts me to see in a video when i saw it air i'm just like wow. it still hurts. >> reporter: it's an unmistakable image. >> she was really shaken up. and i'm just like i'm here. >> reporter: she was watching the newly installed cameras at the child care of the future day care center friday evening when she says she witnessed the day care center worker violently pull down a flight of stairs. >> i went and confronted her at the bottom of the stairs. you can see me on camera, what are you doing, we don't do this

to children. >> reporter: that particular camera had just been installed minutes before the incident. the disturbing surveillance video has led to her firing. >> i think it's every parent's nightmare. i would make sure if i was sending my child that it was videoed exactly the way it is here now. >> reporter: we were allowed inside to get a glimpse of the stairwell and the impact the frightening fall must have had on a fragile 4-year-old. >> she was a little scared of the steps. >> reporter: parents were notified of the incidents, many still shocked and rocked to their core. >> she would come and hold him and comfort him. it was, i don't know.

it was a bit disheartening. >> reporter: well, the 4-year-old little girl suffered a minor knee injury. meantime 52-year-old sara gable had worked here at this day care center only for the past year or so but reportedly had a 25 year history of being in the day care business. she's now facing several charges including simple assault as well as dangerously endangering the welfare of a child. na ta sha brown. >> a 4 alarm fire rips through a fitness and physical therapy center in philly sending two employees to the hospital with minor injuries. crews are still on the scene making sure a fire is out. it took about two hours to get it under control. no word on what caused that fire. police say a group of teens are involved in a robbery spree

targeting victims' cell phones as they leave septa stations. they attacked a 22-year-old man and stole his phone. two days later, two blocks away another phone was taken. so far a 15-year-old has been arrested, but police are looking for others. >> it's still an active investigation. they're still looking into his accomplice and south detectives is actively investigating. >> police believe at least three other people are involved. anyone with information is asked to contact police. >> pennsylvania center pat toomey visited cbs3 today to answer your questions. since president trump took office many viewers have wanted us to sit down with the senator. he discussed his thoughts on the new administration and why he has not scheduled a face-to-face town hall meeting. >> since we're in washington usually five days a week, most

weeks out of the month, there's not that many opportunities, but one thing that i have done, i've continued to do, i think i've done 48 telephone town halls which is actually a terrific venue. >> so how did people who reached out during our social media conversation feel about the senator's response? david spunt tracked down two of our participants. were they satisfied with the answers they got? >> woren them, philadelphia resident wrote the question you just heard the senator answer about the town hall. she says his answer forces constituents to ultimately have more questions. >> i'm sure we'll do one at some point. >> reporter: speaking exclusively at cbs3 on monday, senator pat toomey said he would consider an in-person town hall in philadelphia. the woman who submitted that question tells eyewitness news the time is now. >> i thought it was a little evasive. there are a lot of people that would like to have a meeting. >> reporter: she says she's

pressed for a town hall for months with no luck. she watched for his response on camera. >> we've had over 20,000 people, either on the phone or listening to the audio stream. >> reporter: the senator offered no official commitment to an in-person town hall for this part of the state. >> it's his job to be present and to be accounted for and in terms of why it's important, we're his constituents. he serves us. he's there to hear us and to respect us. and to respond to us. >> reporter: toomey talked about education, russia and the affordable care act. montgomery county resident asked senator toomey about repealing the aca. she's beaten cancer but counties on the aca because of her preexisting condition. >> if we vote tomorrow on the appeal, the actual implementation, the actual effective date will be two or three years down the road. we're not going to pull the rug

out for anyone. >> reporter: she's worried about two or three years down the road. >> i know he's trying to play it safe so i understand what he's doing, but he didn't make me feel any better or any safer and i'm sure there are a lot of people that probably felt the same way. >> reporter: senator toomey ended by saying his two biggest concerns while he's in office get the economy moving again and focus on our security here and security around the world. >> thank you to all of you who submitted questions. if you missed any of that conversation with senator toomey this afternoon, you can watch it in its entirety on our website cbsphilly.com. some protesters greeted the senator when he arrived at the cbs3 studios. about 20 protesters from the group tuesdays with toomey turned out today. they believe he has been avoiding face-to-face meetings. we're told he did meet with

representatives from the group earlier today and in the statement the senator said the conversation was constructive. tonight house republicans announced their plan for repealing and replacing the affordable care act also known as obama care. the legislation would provide tax credits for people purchasing their own health insurance, it would protect people with preexisting conditions. it also repeals the penalties on people who remain uninsured and on large employers who don't offer coverage. president trump signs a new travel ban designed to keep out terrorists that's different in several ways from the one signed in january. the new ban applies to six countries, libya, sudan, somalia and syria. it removes iraq which was in the previous ban. it imposes a 90-day ban on visas. >> we cannot risk the prospect

of ma level length actors using our immigration system to take american lives. >> it suspends the entire u.s. refugees for 120 days but it no longer singles out syrian refugees for an indefinite ban. >> the white house calls for president trump's claims that president obama ordered the illegal wiretapping during the presidential election. president trump himself made that allegation on twitter this weekend. cbs news has learned the director of the fbi james comey denies the claims and calls on the department of justice to publicly refute the accusation. democrats say this is being used to take the focus off the connections between the trump campaign and russia. pennsylvania senate democrats say they are in contact with the fbi and state attorney general's office after a cyber attack shut down their computer system. on friday we told you about that attack that's left lawmakers and

staff in the caucus unable to access their computer network or data citing the investigation democrats aren't saying what if any ransom was demanded. former penn state assistant football coach jerry sandusky has been moved to a new prison. he was transferred to a medium security facility outside of pittsburgh. prison officials wouldn't say why he was moved, but they say it's not uncommon for that to happen without explanation. nurses and technical staff at delaware county memorial hospital are on day two of a workers' strike and it may continue for another three days. chopper 3 was over in the hospital in drexel hill this afternoon. workers planned to be off the job for only two days but the company says staffing agencies require a 5-day deposit for temporary replacement. the nfl draft comes to

hundreds of marines are accused of using a private facebook group to share pictures of their female colleagues. the photos drew thousands of comments, some of them lewd in

nature. the alleged conduct undermines their core values and erodes trust and degrades the individual. facebook has removed the group from its site. >> changing at airport security lines. the tsa have created a standardized procedure. the change comes after a report found major security lapses around the country but some travelers say the pat-downs go too far. >> reporter: at times air travel can be a hassle. >> the tsa checkpoint having to take off your shoes, your belt. >> you have to take everything which is understandable, but it can get backed up. >> you have to have a lot of patience these days. >> reporter: most passengers agree it's all for the greater good but not everyone is on board with a newly launch more comprehensive procedure. >> i understand we want to be safe and make sure that we're safe, but also they need to realize what they're doing.

because there could be inappropriate touching. >> reporter: tsa will use a more rigorous pat-down procedure instead of allowing employees to choose. as in the past it will be performed by an agent of the same gender and could include sensitive areas such as the breast, groin and buttocks. >> we have three daughters and a wife and the thought of them being patted down is not very comforting to me. >> reporter: the change follows parts of the report. >> i'm sorry but i would rather be safe. >> i don't see no harm in it. >> safety over comfort. >> that is a trade-off for the safety, but there are some boundaries as far as just basic human rights. and places that you shouldn't be touched and things of that nature. >> if you are selected to receive a pat-down or opt into the procedure, you do have the right to request a private or a public area for that screening. you may also have a witness

present. >> there's new information tonight about the death of actor bill paxton. his death certificate states he died of a stroke 11 days after surgery to replace a heart valve. initially it was reported pax ton died surgery. >> an oklahoma girl has become the youngest contestant to qualify for the national spelling bee. she's only five years old and she earned that spot by beating more than 50 other kids at a regional bee. edith won the contest by correctly spelling jnana. do you even know what that means? the word means knowledge acquired through meditation in the hindu tradition. >> wow!

well-done. >> we've got some amazing weather on the way and not really in a good way. it's just going to be every day you step outside it's going to be a completely different kind of day out there. a little bit of everything and what we may have is a little bit of snow which is something we weren't expecting to see much more of, but we may as we head into the weekend. still a lot of uncertainty with both of our systems if you remember back last week in our march forecast we talked about this period, march 10th-15th and it looks like there's one threat possibly on march 10, one on the 12th perhaps and possibly another but possibly rain as we head towards the 14th. let's take a look at what's happening right now. quiet conditions outside in the city. nothing going on right now but some spots will have a bit of a wet morning commute not all of us. you can see our system moving in. this is rain associated with a

warm front that's lifting through much of the northeast here tonight. you can see most of the showers are missing the city and certain suburbs to the north. it's generally light for now, possibly a few patches of freezing rain up in the highest elevations of the poconos. most of that missing to the north as temperatures are mild enough to keep the freezing rain away. but the rain will move in overnight, some light drizzle and scattered showers. we also have this strong cold front, a kind of large system, the same cold front associated with that warm front, here it comes moving through portions of missouri. we've had tornadoes in effect. we have had reports of neighborhoods damaged by tornadoes here this evening so a dangerous situation under way there. locally we've got a southeast wind temperatures are in the low 40s across our map and across our area as well. as we head into tomorrow morning, you can see most of the rain misses philadelphia to the

north and west. so it's a wet morning commute. that then really kind of lifts off to the north we may pick up a few stray showers in the city. a few breaks of sunshine and that same cold front comes through with a line of showers and possible thunderstorms very early wednesday morning. so what to expect? warm front arrives tomorrow, we're 10-15 degrees above affirming, with fog and drizzle with some scattered showers. temperatures surge to more than 15 degrees above average in spots. looking ahead we've got two systems to talk about. friday morning a weak clipper system moves through, could bring the chance for some rain mixing with snow early friday morning, still unclear about the actual position of that low. sunday looks like a more potent storm potential. as of right now it looks like the best chance will be the southern parts of our area but it will bring the chance of accumulating snow and it will be cold enough to do so on sunday.

that's a day we have to keep our eye on. it's way too soon to make any judgment about what kind of snow will fall and who will get it. i've got my eye on it, suffice it to say we go from the mid 60s to the 30s from thunderstorms to snow. another wacky weather week. >> all over the place. she can't make up her mind, that mother nature. >> lesley is up next with sports. >> we expect eagles to be active. we have an update on who they could be after. the sixers taking on the bucks.
