developments surrounding the republican retreat in philadelphia. this is a live look at the

streets of center city right near city hall where pro efforts are making their voices heard. nbc10's randy gyllenhaal tells us it's been a peaceful protest, people are speaking out on women's issues, on the affordable care act. again, we continue to see this throughout the arf. we will be following these protesters throughout the day here on nbc10. at 11:15, another live picture from joint base andrews. where president trump will board air force one and take off for philadelphia. he was actually supposed to land in philly at philly international around 11:25. we know he's running behind schedule. but once he arrives there, he will speak to the republican retreat at the loews hotel and as we see, helicopters landing, marine one. we've already told you that vice president pence is already on the ground in philadelphia. he tweeted out a picture with he and his wife this morning boarding marine two for the first time saying first trip on marine two. and now we're seeing president

trump take marine one and arrive to board what is now air force one officially. a lot of firsts today. his first trip to a city. his first trip on marine one, his first trip on air force one. >> absolutely. we know when he does touchdown in philadelphia, it's going to be a pause. nothing will depart from philly international. this is standard operating procedure. a big day in philadelphia. we also know when he arrives in philadelphia, there will not be a delegation to greet him. that's not necessarily unusual given his tight schedule and the fact he is running about 45 minutes late. >> almost, yeah. it could be even longer than that right now. we do have nbc10's pamela osborn on the ground at philly international waiting for when he arrives there. we've shown you live pictures of the protesters that will greet the president and his entourage when they get to the loews hotel in center city.

>> certainly a familiar setting for president trump. the republican national convention was head here over the summertime. he campaigned heavily in the philadelphia region leading up to the election and, of course, he is a graduate of the university of pennsylvania. so philadelphia to some extent a familiar place for him and, of course, we know he will be speaking to republicans during lunch today. they have a lot planned, a lot to talk about. their strategies to advance their agenda. talking about tax reform, building the wall that has had so much attention just in the last 24 hours. how to pay for can the wall between the u.s. and mexico. also repealing obamacare and what is next. how do you repeal it and replace it. that's some of the concerns that the protesters have been speaking about. you saw protesters there in randy gyllenhaal's live picture from around city hall. about 3,000 protesters estimated will get a better count on that as we see the group grow there. >> in addition to speaking to

republican leaders in philadelphia of course, president trump will be meeting with theresa may. her greeting comes as the uk prepares to pull out u to leave the eu and strengthen their ties with allies like the u.s. there be a very important meeting for the president and prime minister. right meeting today and meeting again tomorrow at the white house. as this day began, the speaker of the house paul ryan and mitch mcconnell said they're very much on the same page with the white house and really want to have strategy sessions and figure out how they can all work together and advance the agenda. it's interesting how lauren may characterized the retreat yesterday. she said when you're at work or school to focus on an agenda, collaborative effort to bring people together which is very much what this retreat is all

about. it's also interesting coming to philadelphia, the first

president of the united states and visiting philadelphia. we have live pictures of all of it. this is a live picture of the president getting out. hopefully getting off. there you see getting off marine one. he will be boarding now air force one on his way to philadelphia. he was actually originally this morning when we saw the schedule supposed to land in philly around 11:25 it, 11:30. he's behind schedule with that. this, of course, will be a very brief trip in terms of the flight from joint base andrewss to philly international. he's going to land and immediately get in the motorcade. that is ready at philadelphia international. we've seen a delegation greet president, spend time on the tarmac. that's not going to happen. he will head toward the loews hotel in center city.

>> and if you will plan top travel, there he is, stepping off marine one. first trip on marine one and first trip on now air force one. saluting the military officials, greeting military officials accompanying him and walk him to air force one. >> on a plane that does not bear his name though it says the president of the united states. a very quick trip. he is supposed to original timetable we had was address the gop leaders around noon. that will be much later. but then leave philadelphia early this afternoon. not very long on the ground here. but enough to lead and speak to the leaders, try to get everyone continued on the same page. >> you said it. 11:25 was the original time he was supposed to land in philly. of course, that's going to be bumped back. he was supposed to get back on air force one at around 2:10

this afternoon to head to washington. we expect that will probably move closer to the 3:00 hour. not a very long flight. again, we have live cameras at philly international so we'll know exactly when he touches down. then there will be some traffic concerns if you're in the area. so we'll keep you posted on all of that, what gets shutdown during the motorcade and especially in center city. we have the motorcade, security for the president and vice president and the protesters. so we'll keep you posted on all of that on air and our nbc10 app. >> we're leaving that live picture from joint base andrews and will pick it up at philly international once air force one arrives here in philadelphia. good news is that it's a little bit cloudy out there but no problems with the weather in terms of the flight coming in. >> now, your nbc10 first alert weather? >> conditions are clearing from west 0 east. no showers right now. pa suburbs averaging in the 50s with mostly cloudy skies. lehigh valley, 5 1 your average.

let's look at your neighborhood in the lehigh valley. those temperatures are impressive. certainly above normal. cooks town 51 degrees. allentown 52, bath currently at 58 degrees. the pa suburbs seeing mild conditions for today. 53 for sad buryville, west bradford township 51 is, st. david's 46, elroy currently at 50 degrees. upper 40s along with newtown. so mild conditions right now all due to a southerly flow. the wind profile is calm i'd say for the exception of the lehigh valley. northwesterlies at 20 miles per hour allentown 23 miles per hour. we have strengthening winds as the day progresses but milder for villaraigosa, atlantic city, wildwood, dover air force base, philadelphia and belmar seeing milder winds. they will pick up as the day progresses. expect a breezier afternoon and certainly a breezy evening in

congress will pay for the initial construction of the wall. until mexico can pay the u.s. back. mexico's president fired back in an address to his country saying that mexico will not pay for the wall. the president is referring to his meetings scheduled next tuesday with mex koes's president. that tweet comes a day after he signed an action to jump start construction of the long promised wall. the president yesterday also signed orders to strip federal funding from so-called sanctuary sfepz we've been talking about that like philadelphia wildoes not cooperate fully with enforcement of federal immigration laws. philadelphia says, it won't won't give up its status as a sanctuary city. the mayor says it's up to congress. >> mr. trump responded to a piece written by army intelligence officer chelsea manning. he tweeted ungrateful traitor. chelsea manning never should have been released from prison. is now calling president obama a
