i think we're on a, we had this planned for 7:17. they have moved it to 7:17 a.m. eastern time and we are on a slight hold now and i'm looking at count down clock in front of me around three minutes and 40 since to launch time. we are in the slight hold there. there had been a slight issue they reported with the second stage rocket the propeller that will pre will pelorian at 3600 miles in above altitude in that second more of an oval orbit, one of two orbits around the earth that or rice an will do during this test flight today. we are in the slight hold here but they have fairly large window for this launch this morning, guys at two hours and 39 minutes. so, they are not concern, they are not having any weather issues, at this point this morning. the sunnies up here. the nice breeze and cloud cover and they are not reporting any weather issues

with orion at this point. they are optimistic. they have got this large window which to launch this craft. it is a test flight this morning. once they get launch it is four and a half hours. orion will orbit the earth two times a lot of things they want to test here. they want to test that heat shield of or rice an when it comes back in the atmosphere. it is 16 and a half feet wide, largest heat shield they have ever tested this comes in at 20,000 miles per hour, generating 4,000 degrees fahrenheit of heat. a lot of heat. they want to make sure once they decide to put a astronauts in this capsule it will be safe. they want to test navigation systems, computer hardware, software, they want to test the series of parachutes that will slow this capsule down, allowing it to drop into the ocean and then they want to test retrieval system of pulling this capsule into the boat and make sure that all this works. a all this done in four and a half hours. a short test flight but a lot

to get done and certainly a big deal in the long range picture for nasa as this is spacecraft they hope to eventually take humanness to deep space particularly targeting mars sometime around 2030, 2535, that is a long way away, a lot of steps between now and then but today is a key part of that step and it looks like, i'm looking a little bit here because they have this new count down clock not as easy to see, little will more high tech, in the quite as easety see but we are still holding at three minutes and 43 seconds until launch but again, ukee and nicole they have a large launch window at two hours and 39 minutes. they are still hold agent this point and we will sianni listening to see what they report as to why they are still holding. it could be still this vessel in that eastern range off the coast they are trying to get out of the way for this launch guys. >> craig, we heard from a producer it could be a wind issue as well, can you tell that? can you feel that as well.

>> reporter: there is a a breeze. i don't know if you are hearing anything on weather issues. but we're confirm that right now it is a wind issue, so there is a slight weather issues as they are waiting on this launch here holding at three minutes and 43 seconds. quite a mood around kennedy space center. thousands of people line up along the causeway and jetties, and it is a crowd not seen here since the the last space shuttle launch in 2011. so a big, big, component here as this energy returns to the kennedy space center. they are going back to that apollo energy this that, you know, been more than 40 years since nasa has looked to taking humans into deep space. it was a apollo 17 mission in 1972 because all of the space shuttle missions have been in that lower earth orbit. now they are talking about taking humans out of low earth

and deeper in to space. they are going back to that apollo kind of attitude and taking people into keep space. people talking about. that i asked scientist about that saying you guys over hyping this launch. they said no, we're back in the apollo mode and back in the energy. even though it is years away to get to mars they are still raising the, you know, the public's awareness of what they are doing and they are sparking that energy into science and space exploration and this younger generation. a a lot of things going on there. >> you can tell craig is excited. >> we appreciate the insight. thanks, craig reporting from cape canaveral live. >> thanks, craig. 7:19. let the get to katie. >> we will start off guys with a local view here for you here up at the poconos where unis is popping over the horizon. beautiful colors, anytime you

city hall where two events collided, justin? >> reporter: good morning, yes. it was a day of demonstrations yesterday beginning over at 30th street station where protesters gathered for a silent protest, they then made their way here through city hall for demonstrations we have seen throughout the morning. lets go right to the video now. this all happened in the city hall courtyard where ceremonies gathered for that tree lighting, protesters came side by side, they were caroling, protesters were chant nothing justice no peace in process of two grand jury decisions one from missouri in the mike brown case and second yesterday from new york city in the eric garner case. grand jurors there decide that had no charges should be brought against the police office shore put garner in the choke hold. garner did die as a result of that. of course in missouri over the summer officer darren wilson opened fire on unarmed teen mike brown. brown later died of his injuries here. in protest of both of those

actions and decisions protester staged a die in at the 30th street station. lying on the ground for four minutes and making their way through center city and city hall and that is where party was going on here and they were not happy to see them, take a listen. >> who could do something like. that they are only ruining it for rest of the neighborhood and rest of the people who want their children to see something like this. >> travesty of justice what happened and we will have to take to the streets to make a change. >> reporter: protesters also tried to get on to the i-76 on ramp, they were stopped there, however, despite that, the police say protests were largely peaceful and organizers have promised that more events are planned. we are live at city a hall this morning i'm just continue finch for "eyewitness news" at cw philly. >> justin, thank you. as they just heard, grand jury declines to bring charges against a new york city police officer in the choke hold death of eric garner. that decision sparked protests

in new york and all across the country. >> no justice, in peace. tone of the protest was similar to those over the ferguson case. demonstrators accused nypd of racism. garner was black, officer daniel pantleo was white. the incident was captured on amateur video back in july. pant leo and other officers were trying to arrest garner for selling lose cigarettes on staten island. pantleo used choke hold restraint on garner there he died one hour later. his death was later ruled a homicide the officer expressed his condolences over incident but his widow says his apology has little impact on the family. >> he should be here celebrating christmas, thanksgiving, and everything else with his children and his grandchildren and he cannot? why? because a cop did wrong. somebody that get paid to do right did wrong and he is not held accountable for it.

>> take a look at this, this is a minivan plowing through a group of protesters in st. louis, missouri. police say it is unclear if the incident was intentional or if protesters jumped in front of that moving vehicle. the driver was taken into custody while they sorted all of those details out. a at least two people suffered minor injuries but thankfully no one was seer seriously hurt. >> lets see how it will feel outside. >> it will still feel cold but we are seeing a much brighter day. i think just by comparison it will be so much nicer for you. you'll walk outside the door and say hhh, a wreath of fresh air. you want have to have your heavy coat when i but look at this view, still beautiful. granted, at 32 degrees it will be cold one outside at kutztown middle school. beautiful sunrise for almost everybody and we will have a few more clouds here and there as the kay goes on but that is it. you can expect some nice dry storm scan three view all day and all night and most of tomorrow for that matter. but, you can hear tonight my

voice something down the road here, our next disturbance does move in as early as tomorrow night and that will bring our next round of rain, but here we will stand, today just a few degrees shy of seasonal with more sunshine. it is not terrible. it looks g35 degrees up in the poconos at best though, so you can expect to need sunglasses and heavier coat up that way as well, but a light enough wind that what you see is actually what you get on the thermometer on a day like this. vittoria. >> sunglasses is a good point, as this shot behind me really indicates why you will need those shades. traveling the on the schuylkill expressway you'll net is sun glare toward the top right of your screen but what is also important to note on 76 as i will step out of the way so you can really see it. eastbound schuylkill is ramp to 202 northbound, closed all morning because of an overturn tractor trail their is carrying a load of newspapers. they have a lot of clean up to do. owe with that closure if you are trying to maneuver in this a area or get to king of prussia or get to that mall area best thing you can do to is continue east and get off

at gulph mills, and then you can access 202 at that point. it will take maneuvering but is there an option for you. good news for 309. earlier vehicle fire has been extinguished with you they have reopened one of the lanes here. you are still slow on the northbound side of 309 at susquehanna whiz is the the scene of this incident but at least you do have some movement. lets talk about the 42 freeway quickly. traveling north bound on the 42, big tie up tying trying to head out the earlier w still expect delays on 95, schuylkill and lit ol the vine, ukee. we are learning that crews have recovered a body from the cristina river in delaware. it is believed to be that of 25 year-old emmanuel gateling. he disappeared tuesday night after the barge he was on capsized near the port of wilmington. two other men went over board and were quickly rescued. philadelphia police need your peb's help to catch suspects in the beating caught on surveillance video. it happen november 15th on

intensity but what that could do is trigger some much colder air southward and that may bring us some very cold air, down the road. so it is something that we're watching but you always see triggers and triggering mechanism in the atmosphere and that could be the next one. no guarantee. it is something we are watching. storm scan three is quiet the just some clouds and eyewitness weather three day forecast is on the chilly side but seasonal. tomorrow more clouds then anything. by tomorrow night on rain may start to move in on the radar here but saturday is most wet day of the next few with a high of 52. victoria. well, we are going to start you with you a look an how it actually is if you are travel in new jersey, of course we only show you exactly how it is. we have mobile three live showing thaw 55 northbound is not moving at all. and the reason why it is not moving is because we are traveling 55 northbound approaching 42 interchange which is where mobile three

live is right now, earlier accident on the westbound side of the walt whitman bridge. it was really at the base of the bridge. that accident caused a major problem on 42 which was a backup which affect north bound side of 55. so shout out to everybody in mobil three live right new because we are doing our duty sitting there in traffic. as we continue we will move now you to the ben franklin bridge, also in the great because we are sitting in some traffic. if you are traveling into new jersey into pennsylvania, using ben, give yourself more time you will need it. those folks traveling on the 42 and like you know what we won't get on the walt take the bend been and that is what happens on top of rush hour traffic. we have sun glare out there we are happy to see sun as katie was mentioning but sun glare can affect your commute. traveling on the schuylkill, we have rush hour delays on 76 within your western suburbs around center city, same thing traveling on i-95 in downtown philadelphia but what we are looking at here is 76 eastbound at north bound 202 ramp where we are still dealing with the closure of this ramp as a result of the

overturn tractor trailer that spilled a load of newspapers on the roadway, so with this close another out there we will need to do some a maneuvering, nicole. >> thank you. philadelphia little league champions are being rewarded for working hard on the field and in the classroom. mayor michael nutter presented travel grants to several football teams and cheer leading squads heading to florida where they will be competing for national championships next month. by the way, they will pay for air farce, lodging and meals, ukee. well, sixth's void matching the nba record for losses to open a season winning their first of the year in minute so the a second half action for you and sixers are on the run. young fellow kj mcdaniel in position for the slam. nicely done. sixers with the lead on the t wolves and mcw, michael carter williams, just missed a triple double, 20 points, nine rebound and one of his assist was a very nice feed to the big fellow right there nerlens noel. sixers win their first of the season 85-77.

lets build on this one. they are now one and 17. you don't see too many wins. here's another thing you don't see, sixers and timber wolves tipped it off and sixers get toward the wrong basket. they were lined up in the wrong place. that will not work. once officials realized it they were 16 seconds in the game. they just ignored that, got a do over, started the game all over. that is how you have to do it sometime. sixers win. allen iverson showing some love for his former organization, after the big win. he tweeted congrats home is, keep fighting and stay strong. sixers for life. sixers get for whip number two in oklahoma city in south philadelphia. to the struggling flyers playing a tough anaheim ducks team and wayne simmonds second goal of the game, ties it at four, with 2.6 seconds left. the game stayed that way through a shoot-out when flyers lose this 15 to four. fly guys lost nine straight shoot-outs six straight games.
