good morning. the birds will return to the practice field in about 90 minutes from now, but before that head coach doug peeredson spoke to reports. he said the team will prepare like they have a game this weekend. >> obviously we're on a much bigger stage now playing for the super bowl. but the journey's the same, the ride's the same, it's just -- >> pederson also said next week won't be a vacation for the players. he'll keep the intensity going. and philadelphia city council is giving the team its official congratulations. randy gyllenhaal is live for us in city hall. randy, what do you have? >>reporter: a packed political agenda here for the first meeting of the year. they'll do resolutions trying to bring amazon to philadelphia, also one about the new philly school board. but first things first, nothing more important than the birds. the city council will officially honor the philadelphia eagles for their upcoming trip to the super bowl. let's take a live look right now

inside the city hall chambers where this is going to get going in a second. the council will put forward this honorary the eagles. and honoring sports broadcaster ray dill len ger. he tells nbc 10 this city more excited than any time he can remember. >> it's going to keep building and the people think it can't get bigger than it have trust me, it will. because philadelphia's been waiting for this for a very long time. and they've been to two other super bowls, but this one's different because this one is so unexpected. in '80 there was a team that had been to the playoffs before and you kind of saw it coming. the andy reed team had been to championship games before but couldn't quite get over the hump. but this one, i don't know anybody, really the most optimistic fan that when the season started thought this team could be in a super bowl but here they are. >> reporter: and let's go back into the chambers now. >> it's a wondrous thing that

allows us all to stand a little taller and closer together. the irish philosopher francis hutchison once said that action is best which procures the greatest happiness for the greatest numbers. he said that centuries ago but he might have said it sunday night hanging from the top of a traffic light right out there on broad street. ways still new to the newspaper business in 1974 when was a reporter for the philadelphia bulletin i covered the fly ieer stanley cup parade. >> reporter: we're still waiting on the city council to give their official pro clam medication honoring the eagles team. for now we're live in city hall. randy gyllenhaal. >> still a little disconcerting to see people in city hall wearing those dog masks even though we've seen them around. don't be surprised to see more midnight green in the stands.

it seems eagles fans are more eager and willing to travel to the game compared to patriots fans. stub hub released new ticket sale numbers yesterday and sales in pennsylvania are 13% higher than those from massachusetts. the cheapest ticket available now is about $3,000. that's down by a couple grand compared to two days ago. and the ellen show is giving away tickets to the super bowl. all you have to do is write to ellen and tell her why you're the eagles's biggest fan. you can find a link to the contest on nbc10.com and catch the ellen show every day at 3:00 right here on nbc 10. and the only place to watch the eagles taking on the pats, super bowl lii is right here on nbc 10. and as your official eagles's station, remember we have exclusive access to the birds that you're just not going to find anywhere else. count on nbc 10 for coverage up to and during and after the game on february 4th. trial is getting under way

this morning for the isis inspired shooter charged with opening fire on the philadelphia police officer. edward archer say skiesed of shooting officer hartnett in january of 2016. the officer was hit several times but he still managed to open his car door and returned fire. authorities say archer pledged allegiance to the islamic state after the shooting, but the fbi said was not part of a terror cell. and police are looking for the gun bhoon shot a pizza deliveryman in philadelphia's brewery town last night. he was returning to his car on north hollywood street when two men approached him and whun a gun. he got into his car and took off and herd gunshots. the bullet hit him in the hand. he drove back to the pizza shop and whn police arrived they took him to the hospital. a man is in the hospital with a bullet wound this morning after philadelphia police say a gunman fired six shots outside a wendy's on a busy center city street. the shooting happened after 8:30 last night on chestnut street. victim ran a few blocks before he flagged down an officer

outside an apple store on walnut. no one else was hurt and the 24-year-old victim was hit in the wrist. he's expected to be okay. police are looking for the shooter. in district of columbielawa was hit in milled ton. this happened just after she was released from that same hospital at around 1:00 this morning. she was taken back inside for treatment. we're working to find out how she's doing and what type of car hit her. >> announcer: now your nbc 10 first alert weather. well, bundle up, it's very cold outside this morning but at least got some sunshine out there. here's a look outside at center city philadelphia in the air mark build, little windy up there too you see those flags flopping. let's check in with meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz. hey, glenn. we've got quite a different looking sky from yesterday, nice and blue through the but it sure

has cooled down over the last couple of days. remember on tuesday we were 62 degrees. wednesday morning it felt like 39. that was quite a drop. and this morning at 7:00 a.m. felt like 18. just two days that kind of change. right now it's 33 despite that sunshine and still in the 20s in blue bell, perkasie, kotsdsville 28 degrees. poconos 28 degrees. still feels like 19 in pottstown, 23 in philadelphia, 20 degrees in reading. as we go through the day today, it's mostly just holding in the 30s with at least a little wind, the wind may diminish some later today. it's going to feel like it it's in the 20s again by 6:00 and the

wind really dies down tonight. so there is no real difference between the actual air temperature and the feels-like temperature. but we're going to be seeing some real significant changes coming, warming and also some wet weather over the weekend. we'll get into those details in a few minutes. philadelphia police say they have recovered the hammer and a kitchen knife a man allegedly used to kill his mother in an east falls apartment. they say they found 49-year-old tammy blunt inside her apartment. the motive for the killing remains unclear, but investigators say the suspect malachi white has mental health issues and was off his medication. >> most people you know your neighbors, you're welcomed, you're happy, but i wouldn't expect anything like to to come out of here. >> sources tell nbc 10 the son had been living with his mother's body for days and confess when'd police came knocking on his door. and this afternoon law

enforcement officers from around the country are expected to attend the memorial service in hershey for the u.s. marshal shot and killed for serving a warrant at a harrisberg home last week. they say he gunman opened fire and killing deputy u.s. marshal christopher hill. gunman kevin sterges also died in the shootout with police. investigators say sterges had two active warrants in philadelphia. time now for a check on the roads with nbc 10 katy. what are you seeing out there? >> for this time you wouldn't expect to see a lot but unfortunately we have a lot going on. especially on this expressway going into and leaving the city in the say live look, 76 right at city avenue or if you're take the roosevelt boulevard north. this is traffic heading out of the city and it's just crawling. it's going westbound and there's a crash right around this area, right around the juncture from

the roosevelt boulevard route 1. that's why have you that delay. then to the far left of your screen you see that the eastbound traffic is crawling as well. that's something else. we have a lot going on. so the eastbound traffic is because there's a roaming maintenance crew in the eastbound lanes heading towards the city and that's adding a ton of drive time to what's typically 18, 20 minutes to go from the pennsylvania turnpike east into the city. it's about a 45-minute drive right now. going to i-95 there's a disabled vehicle at the allegheny avenue that's causing delays on northbound 95. let's shift gears and move into delaware. wanted to get a look at your drive times around wilmington. 95 northbound between 295 and 95 that's about an 11 minute drive, nine minutes in the opposite direction. back to you. happening today, a vote that could finalize a change. septemb septa board is expected to

approve a route are for the line extension in the area. the change is an alternative one to the one they originally considered. it is planned to spur off the north town high speed line with spops stops at henderson road and the king upresha business park. >> you can learn more about plans to encourage the future use of electric vehicles. they will hold that event tonight at 6:00 on jfk boulevard. a task force has been studying twies promote the use of electric vehicles as part of a broader energy-saving transportation strategy. coming up, facing her abuser. >> i almost passed out. i had the worst headache for hours. >> she talks about the moment she spoke to former team usa dr. larry nasser in court and her strength and determination to keep moving forward.

and the i'm rose mayor connors, live outside of the north philadelphia nonprofit responsibility for community artwork like this. coming up why the organizers will have 35,000 reasons to smile later on this hour. well, it's cold now but another warm-up is on the way and so is some rain. i'll let you know what to expect for the weekend as we continue that roller coaster weather pattern.

president trump is in

switsserland for the world economic forum. this morning the president met with israeli prime minister netanyahu where they must receive aid money from the u.s. hallie jackson has more on what the president will be doing during the forum. >> reporter: this alpine town is a particularly interesting place for this president to visit, not just because he's the first sitting u.s. president to come to this economic submit in nearly 20 years, but because donald trump ran on that platform of pop pewism and dab bos is filled with the blobl elite. what is he doing here? the guy who sees himself as the deal maker and chief is trying to do exactly that, working on the remembering are the national security, those are the big focuses here. the president later on today is having dinner with some european-based businesses trying to convince them to invest more in the united states. he also has some critical one on one meetings with world leaders. even though president trump is

here in switzerland, he still cannot escape headlines about russia back home as the special counsel's russia investigation continues to intensify. right before getting on air force one to head here to dav vos, he told reports that he wants to cooperate with robert mueller and he would be willing to sit for an in-person interview with the special counsel. his lawyers say that could happen sometime in the next two to three weeks but you're seeing a little bit of a walkback from the in-house lawyer. they were saying he was rushing to get to davos and he has a willingness to testify, but the lawyer tells nbc no terms have been negotiated just yet. back to you. three people are dead and 13 seriously hurt after a train went off the tracks overseas. the derailment happened on the outskirts of milan. high tallian firefighters have released footage of them pulling pass swrers from the twisted metal. the commuter train was approaching the station when it

went off the rails. milan police questioned the train driver and investigators say first clues point to either collapse of the tracks or a problem with a track switch. people in southern california were up early this morning after an earthquake rattles homes. magnitude 4.0 quake shook the area about 70 miles southwest of los angeles. there are no reports of any injuries or any major damage. >> announcer: now your nbc 10 first alert weather. well, we're back to winter. the flag's blowing that way, that means colder air moving in generally, especially this time of the year. so it's going to stay chilly through friday. you can make some plans for outdoor activity and travel for the weekend. and then mild and rainy on sunday. there's not going to be any kind of snow this weekend. it's 33 degrees with bright sunshine in philadelphia now. we've got some places still in

the 20s like in lehigh and berks counties. and even there it's going to warm up. you can see the camera shaking a little bit. 39 for the high today, then 44 tomorrow, at least mid-50s saturday and sunday with average highs still around 40 degrees. take a look at some of those colder neighborhoods, berks, lehigh, north hampton counties. leonardsville at 26, americastown 27, ma kunggy 28, longa port, look at that. 26 degrees with bright sunshine at 11:00 a.m. that's cold. and nazareth at 28 degrees right now. and we have wind on top of that. we've got sustained winds of 15 to 20 miles per hour out of the northwest, just the way those flags are blowing, and so it feels like it's 18 in perkasie,

17 in coatesville, 23 in philadelphia, a big 5 in mount poconos. this is the coldest day, tonight is going to be the coldest night with those northwest winds. the winds are going to die down tonight, it's going to be practically calm by tomorrow morning. but we're going to be seeing the temperatures drop into the 20s. then as we go into later tomorrow, tomorrow night, the southerly winds start, the warm irrelevant air starts coming up, and we have that real nice day on saturday. but coming in from the west, we've got a cold front and by sunday morning there could be some widespread rain. we're not talking about heavy rain or thunderstorms like we saw with this last front, and it does look like it's going to last for several hours but generally be offshore by monday morning. so as we go through the day today and tomorrow we've got lots of sunshine tomorrow

chestnut hill 45, swanksville 42, alantown 40, vorhees 45, long port 41, dover at 45 degrees. and over the weekend, it's looking amazing. we've got a lot of sunshine on saturday, no rain at all. and sunday the rain chance is extremely high. so you have a pretty easy pick for going outdoors and not getting rained on. . . >> all right. up next, no monkey business here. two monkeys making headlines because of what they could mean for the future. the scientific success that's refreshing with no debate.

flu emergency is causing the hospital to pitch tents outside in order to treat more patients.

we got a view of their campus this morning. large tents are being used for overflow patients and the case rss surging. they say in the past few days they've seen a sharp increase including 15 deaths. the hospital says they consider each patient on a case by case basesy. >> we will see influenza-like illness out here but we're looking at everybody arriving. if they have a complaint or illness that we don't expect is going to need admission to the hospital we're going to try to see them out here. >> we asked when people should head to the emergency room for treatment. well, the hospital says you need that extra help when you can't either drink well, if you have a fever that can't be treated with over the counter medicine, or if you have another condition like asthma or diabetes. a major scientific barrier has been broken. scientists have successfully cloned two healthy monkeys. it's an achievement that could open the door to copying humans. the science academy in china pulled it off.

it's the first time scientists have had success cloning primates. researchers say the clones could be used for research and testing. this is our time and we're hungry for a super bowl victory the. eagles will take to the field today to prepare for the biggest game of their lives. up next we'll hear from head coach doug pederson about their plan for success. >> and i'm rosemary connors lye at a north philadelphia nonprofit profit. i have to be a little quiet because in minutes from now we're going present the organization here with a big surprise. those details for our champion in action coming up next.

it's fun to remember the nfc championship game from this past sunday, but for the eagles these images are already in their rear view mirror.

today they return to the practice field to prepare for their meeting with the patriots. and about an hour from now the eagles will begin their first super bowl practice. before his team took the field, however, coach doug pederson took questions from reports and talked about facing a patriot squad that's won five super bowls in the last 16 years. >> obviously it's a credit to what the patriots have done in their careers and their history and, you know, everybody's trying to win championships like that. but we just got to focus on today. >> and pederson says like the eagles the patriots are a resilient group and he says the proof, you have to look no further than new england's comeback win against the jaguars. right now it's unclear if the eagles will have to account for one of the patriots best weapons rob gronkowski, the tightened took a nasty shot on sunday and must pass concussion protocol tests in order to get back on

the field exexperts are saying will likely happen in time for the super bowl in a week and a half. today's the first metering of the year for philadelphia city council and members are taking the opportunity to honor the eagles. nbc 10 randy gyllenhaal is live at city hall in center city. randy, tell us how council is cheering on the birds. >> reporter: well, it's a packed agenda today they're talking amazon, philly public schools, but first things first, the talk of this city is the birds and today's city council honored the philadelphia eagles with their coming super bowl birth. let's show you inside city hall chambers. just a few minutes ago we spotted some council members and staff wearing those now famous under dog masks from inside the council chambers. they're also honoring a philly sports icon, ray ditten ger who is considered an eggles expert. he spoke to the crowd here at city hall talking about eagles fans and their die hard devotion to this team. >> after seeing what we saw

sunday at lincoln financial field, and later in the streets of our fair city, i defy to you say what we're witnessing with the eagles is just a game. clearly it's much more than that. if all you see are numbers on a scoreboard, then you're miss in the point. what's the true es sents sense and beauty of sports? that's its ability to lit us up and bring us together. >> reporter: well spoke pent by the way, the city is already organizing a number of events before and during the super bowl, including a big super bowl watch party. i just got this info, it's organized by council woman cindy bass. it's at the rec center in german town. it kicks off 3:00 p.m. super bowl sunday. live at city hall, randy gyllenhaal nbc 10 news. >> all right. thank you. well, you know eagles fans are everywhere. we've been asking you to show us your eagle spirit and we've gont some impressive submissions,
