they're going to be really good. i think we'll be fine. i think as long as we play hard, stay together as a team we'll be fine. >> well, the last team standing. sixers the only team left in the nba that has yet to win a game but nerlens noel back tonight maybe providing a spark of lightning against the thunder. the flyers not fairing much better these days. back to the drawing board for them. rick and monica, breaking news. >> thank you jamie. we have president obama's reaction to the violence in paris france. let's listen in tonight. >> outrageous attempt to terrorize innocent civilians. this is an attack not just on paris, it's an attack not just on the people of france but this is an attack on all of humanity and the universal values that we share. we stand prepared and ready to provide whatever assistance that the government and the people of france need to

respond. france is our oldest ally. we want to be very clear that we stand together with them in the fight against terrorism and extremism. paris itself represents the timeless values of human progress. those who think that they can terrorize the people of france or the values that they stand for are wrong. the american people draw strength from the french people's commitment to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. we are reminded in this time of tragedy that the bonds of liberte' and either in the are not only values that the french people care so deeply about but they are values that we share. and those values are going to endure far beyond any act of

terrorism or the hateful vision of those who perpetrated the crimes this evening. we're going to do whatever it takes to work with the french people and with nations around the world to bring these terrorists to justice and to go after any terrorist networks that go after our people. we don't yet know all the details of what has happened. we have been in contact with french officials to communicate our deepest condolences to the families of those who have been killed, to offer our prayers and thoughts to those who have been wounded. we have offered our full support to them. the situation is still unfolding. i have chosen not to call the president at this time because my expectation is that he is very busy at the moment. i actually by coincidence was

talking to him earlier today in preparation for the g20 meeting. but i am confident that i'll be in direct communications with him in the next few days and we'll be coordinating in anyways that they think are helpful in the investigation of what's happened. this is a heartbreaking situation and obviously those of us here in the united states know what it's like. we've gone through these kinds of episodes ourselves and whenever these kinds of attacks happen, we've always been able to count on the french people to stand with us. they have been an extraordinary counter terrorism partner and we intend to be there with them in that same fashion. i'm sure that in the days ahead we'll learn more about exactly what happened and my teams will make sure that we are in communication with the press to provide you accurate information. i don't want to speculate at

this point in terms of who was responsible for this. it appears there may still be live activity and dangers that are taking place as we speak. so, until we know from french officials that the situation is under control and we have more information about it i don't want to speculate. okay. thank you very much. >> you've been listening to president obama talk about what he called the awful heartbreaking situation perpetrated. 35 people are dead at least hundreds being held captive and many more injured. >> he called it an outrageous attempt to terrorize innocent people in paris. of course that situation still unfolding. we'll bring you more information as it comes from paris france. we'll take a quick break, be right back with more news. stay with us.

confirm that we have those winds today by the action cam which was down in vice president in southern new jersey there on a field and you can see that wind energy going to work whipping that wind mill around this afternoon. as we take a look at philadelphia, the winds of change today. today's temperature was 59 degrees which is still 2 degrees above normal but that 59 came close to the morning hours and then we kind of steadied off from that temperature throughout the day and then falling in the afternoon in some spots and there's that gust to 40 miles an hour at philadelphia international airport. 50 allentown, reading as well as lancaster. 52 in wilmington. 52 right now at atlantic city. we've got that westerly wind but these numbers will quickly tumble overnight tonight as another cold front passes through butter it passes through dry. no clouds, no showers with it. all that is up towards the u.s.-canadian border at the present time but it's going to shift the wind more out of the west-northwesterly direction

on saturday. so, for tonight it's mostly clear. those wind chills dropping to near freezing by tomorrow morning with air temperatures between 37 and 42 degrees. and the winds tonight between 10 and 20 miles an hour. then tomorrow the winds kick back up once that sunrises. you get to mix the atmosphere a little bit so it pulls down some of those stronger winds with that low in eastern canada and high pressure coming in from the south and west so it's kind of a play between these two pressure centers to funnel that wind to gusts near 30 miles an hour but still a lot of sun but a chilly high of 51 with wind chills in the afternoon only in the 40's butter then the wind relaxes as high pressure comes in, it eases the atmosphere. 59 degrees. much milder and wall to wall sunshine here which is a good thing because we've got the dolphins in town against the eagles, mostly sunny, 57 for your kickoff temperature by the fourth quarter. our temperature at 56 degrees with west-southwesterly winds between six and 12 miles an hour. the exclusive accuweather

7-day forecast 51 windy chilly tomorrow. again wind chills staying in the 40's in the afternoon, even high temperatures north and west of town only in the 40's. and then better the second half of the weekend meaning it's going to feel warmer but just as bright as saturday and then how about this? we're back 65 degrees on monday. again, with an abundant amount of sunshine, a few clouds coming in on tuesday, still mild at 64 degrees. and then a blends of clouds and sun wednesday, even warmer up to 67 and we stay in there upper 60's on thursday with another frontal boundary coming through and this has the potential of bringing at least some heavy rain at some point at the end of next week but it stays mild even behind that front on friday with a lot of clouds maybe a few lingering showers with a temperature of 64 degrees. so, we really haven't talked much about wind chill around here so just bundle up tomorrow morning and once that wind relaxes the second half of the weekend going to feel pretty good.

>> and the heavy rain could bring down a lot of our leaves late in the game. >> and the wind whipping it around too. >> for live storm tracker6 radar and the latest from our team of meteorologists. and right now jim gardner and the "action news" team are standing by with these stories next and more at 6:00 chaos in paris. there have been multiple attacks around the city. reports of dozens dead and wounded and more than a hundred others still being held hostage. breaking details ahead. >> for the entire "action news" team i'm rick williams.
