congresswoman maxine waters at the podium right now. donald trump appears to be urging russia to hack u.s. government e-mails. he seemed to issue the challenge it in florida today. to find the 30,000 e-mails missing from hillary clinton's private e-mail server. the clinton campaign says trump is actively encouraging espionage. >> russia, if you're listening, i hope you're able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. by the way, they hacked, they probably have her 33,000 e-mails. i hope they do. they probably have her 33,000 e-mails that she lost, and deleted. because you'd see some beauties there. >> clinton's campaign responded saying, quote, this has to be the first time that a major presidential candidate has actively encouraged a a foreign power to conduct espionage against his political opponent.

the white house basically taking over the dnc tonight. president barack obama will be the final speaker of the evening. he'll be preceded by vice president joe biden, and tim kaine will address the delegates as well, as will former congresswoman gabrielle giffords and her husband. charles ramsey also set to speak here. we begin with the call for unity here at the democratic national convention. nbc 10's deanna durante is on that story with a look at what is standing in the way of bringing this party together. what are the two sides saying this afternoon, deanna? >> reporter: you have some saying the party is united and some saying they've not only walked off the convention floor, but they don't plan on returning. >> i can't. i just can't. >> reporter: west virginia delegate katherine said she would rather join protesters in south philly than return to the convention. despite call from bernie sanders to rally around hillary clinton,

the party is not unified. >> we are not going back to the convention. we cannot witness the fall of democracy any longer. >> reporter: another west virginia delegate said she's frustrated, her party thinks her vote doesn't matter. >> no party unity. the polls have shown this for the past four months. that we are not voting for hillary. we will not vote for hillary. >> reporter: sanders supporters say now is the time to unite because there is no alternative for them. >> if you trust bernie, and people say they trust him, they still trust him, then they should trust him now when he says for the benefit of the movement people should be supporting hillary clinton. >> reporter: but for some not even a trump presidency is enough for them to listen to members. >> i think the strength in diversity. there's still plenty of time between now and november for folks to evaluate candidates and

hopefully have a good strong consensus. >> reporter: the final buses are being boarded right here in king of prussia, taking the delegates down to south philadelphia. some have written up signs and billboards or poster boards to show on the convention floor to, again, support the candidate that wasn't nominated. reporting live in king of prussia, deanna durante, nbc 10 news. >> ahead of tonight's speech here at the dnc, president obama sat down for an exclusive interview with savannah guthrie on the "today" show, and he shared some advice for fellow democrats on this november election. >> you stay worried until all those votes are cast and counted, because one of the dangers in an election like this is that people don't take the challenge seriously. they stay home. and we end up getting the

unexpected. >> encouraging people to get out there and vote. as we mentioned, vice president biden will also speak here tonight. biden ruled out a run for the white house this year after the death of his son, beau. in a few hours he will step to the stage and make the case for hillary clinton. our coverage continues now with nbc 10's tim furlong, with a look at what we can expect from delaware's famous son. >> i feel a lot of optimism for where this party is going. >> reporter: when sarah mcbride takes the stage thursday, the delaware native will become the first openly transgender person to speak at a convention. >> we have the same hopes and same dreams of everyone else. we just wanted to be treated with dignity and fairness. >> i don't have anything personally against donald trump. >> on the morning joe, calling out donald trump. >> the truth is, donald trump knows nothing about foreign policy. nor should he based upon his

background. but the thing that bothers me is, i don't see any attempt for him to go out and get people who really know on the republican side. >> let me be clear about that. there's no such thing as retirement or farewell for joe biden. >> reporter: he said he was with joe biden last night and said he isn't talking about retirement or slowing down. he thinks we will see more of biden around delaware, but that won't mean he isn't still fighting. >> he's excited about his next chapter in service. he'll be making a huge difference in addressing one of the biggest health challenges, but also continue to speech out on the issue and be a resource. >> reporter: with all the divisiveness we've seen at the dnc this week, you have to just wonder if maybe joe biden isn't sitting there at home thinking himself that he wishes he had run for president. tim furlong, nbc 10 news. >> and this morning, vice presidential candidate tim kaine did a walk-through at the wells fargo center. he toured the stage where he

will address the democratic national convention later tonight. outside the wells fargo center, the heat wave just rolls on. another 90-degree day out there. let's check in with sheena parveen. sheena, when will this end? >> you know, jim, it's not goin to end until we have the rain to help cool us off. and we will. tomorrow we have showers in the forecast, even friday and into the weekend. if you look at the seven-day at the bottom of your screen, you'll be able to see when we finally break out of the 90s. 92 in philadelphia. mount holly 89. dover coming in at 88 degrees. now look at what it actually feels like in dover when you factor in the humidity. much higher humidity, feeling like 100 degrees in dover. feels like 93 in philadelphia. feels like 96 in wilmington. feels like 96 in vineland. yes, the humidity out there today, still making it feel a lot hotter, especially the farther south you go. now we're still in the heat wave. we've been in it since last friday. we expect to be in it until

tomorrow. expecting the 90s again tomorrow. that would make it a seven-day heat wave. the heat is continuing. as we go into tomorrow, some showers and storms will help to cool us off later in the day. we have a first alert for tomorrow. for delaware, new jersey, philadelphia, the pennsylvania suburbs. now, this is going to go from tomorrow night until friday night. it's because we have strong thunderstorms in the forecast. and also the threat of flash flooding. because we do expect very heavy rain. locally we had some heavy showers and storms in parts of south jersey closer to the shore. as we go into tomorrow night, through friday night, we have a flash flood watch for much of the area. again, this is because of the possibility of flooding with heavy rains. we'll talk more about this and i'll show you the timing of it coming up. bernie sanders spent much of the morning thanking delegates. he spoke to representatives from vermont, new hampshire, maine and rhode island and told the crowd that together they struck a nerve with voters, and that's what democracy is about. he says he's trying to shift his

movement to encourage people to run for office, and fight for the issues he championed during his campaign. right now, nbc 10's lauren mayk is joining us from the floor. the pennsylvania supporter of bernie sanders. >> reporter: jim, this convention, this campaign has been using all kinds of people to try to get the message across to vote for hillary clinton. trying to convince bernie sanders supporters to come on board. we saw alicia keys, sarah silverman, celebrities up on stage. but the mayor of brad dock, pennsylvania, he ran for senate. he is a bernie supporter and now he's trying to convince other supporters to get on board with hillary clinton. >> you just can't emphasize enough how important it is that as a democrat, as a progressive, as a thoughtful parent, that you would want to support a candidate like secretary clinton. >> as you're trying to convince other fellow sanders supporters, how are they responding to you?

>> i think, well, when i'm able to, like i always -- if i see somebody wearing a third party button, i come up and introduce myself where they recognize me. i say, look, i know what it feels like to be the most progressive voice in a race and come up short. i've embraced my former opponent. i couldn't be more proud to now endorse secretary clinton. >> reporter: i asked him, jim, whether he thought that the bernie sanders supporters who perhaps don't vote for hillary clinton could make the difference in the election. he said that is what keeps him up at night. jim? >> a big impact. lauren mayk, thank you. much more from the dnc. you're about to meet local college students getting a experience of a lifetime as they get to live history this week right here at the dnc. that's ahead at 5:15. but right now we send it back to rosemary connors in the studio. >> nbc 10 has extensive coverage of the dnc all week long.

earlier today, though, along the shore, near sea isle city, heavy thunderstorms combined with high tide, created quite a bit of localized flooding. but right now we're pretty much in the clear. what we're watching for tomorrow is all this moisture back off to our west. scattered showers right around the middle of the country, especially down to the gulf coast states. tomorrow that will organize a little better and start to move through. our severe storm threat for tomorrow is mostly going to lie south of philadelphia, for parts of delaware, and new jersey. mostly south jersey. that's where we expect some of the most damaging storms potential, highest potential for that. that includes damaging winds, near 60 miles an hour, heavy rain leading to flash flooding, possible hail and lightning. that's tomorrow's forecast. here's a look at future weather. tonight we stay dry. and now we're looking at tomorrow. we'll see an increase in shower and thunderstorm activity, possibly around lunchtime. now we're looking at 12:30. scattered showers and storms developing. that's going to continue through the afternoon and even into late tomorrow night, 11:00 p.m.

we're not done just yet. we could already have some more pockets of heavy rain and thunderstorms moving through. and now we're looking at friday morning, starting off your friday. we do expect areas of heavy rain and thunderstorms. that's why we're going to be in the flash flood watch. then we go into your weekend. a little bit of a dry period here and there. the thunderstorm chances do come back for your saturday. even for your sunday. next three days, the rain chances, thunderstorm chances stay in. tomorrow, mid-90s. friday and saturday, though, mid-80s. 92 pennsylvania suburbs tomorrow. friday, saturday, mid-80s. lehigh valley breaking into the 80s over the weekend. new jersey, along the shore and delaware, we'll keep the rain chances in over the next few days. well, it was certainly a walk to remember. coming up next, eight hikers are plucked from a very perilous situation after picking the wrong place to explore the great outdoors. two officers going above and

areas in delaware feel around 100 degrees. now, the heat wave so far this month has been up to three now. this one that we're in currently lasting seven days, if we're in the 90s again tomorrow, which we do expect. so half of the month of july, about 15 days we are in the 90s. so it has been very hot this month. we do have a first alert out for tomorrow for delaware, new jersey, philadelphia and the pennsylvania suburbs. this is going to go from tomorrow night through friday night. now, the heat wave is eventually going to break. it will start with showers and storms moving in and the threat for some flash flooding across the area. coming up, we'll talk more about this, and the timing of the storms. but tomorrow you'll definitely want your umbrella. >> thanks for the advice, sheena. back inside the wells fargo center. day three of the convention. monique braxton said the clinton campaign hopes the democrats will heed the call. >> i have a particular sense of

that we see in this country. such a big problem that we need to fix in order to tackle the bigger issues. and then probably minority rights, women's rights. >> reporter: as the delegates look to november, they believe tonight's keynote speeches by president obama, and vice president biden, will unite the party. >> we heard too much negativity in cleveland about where we are as a country. we should be far more optimistic as michelle obama said, we still live in the greatest country on earth. i think president obama has unique perch upon which to preach that message. the dnc, including a look at how philly has to offer. that's ahead after 5:55. right now we toss it back to denise nakano in the studio. >> it's rosemary here. our live broadcast from the wells fargo center continues this afternoon. and this evening. we will also bring you a nightly
