we had police activity on the southbound off ramp to ridge avenue but that just cleared out. just like the crash on 433, both lanes are reopen there and slow speeds out of king of prussia, and a broken down truck northbound at 38, the right lane is out of commission. lets grab the ipad and do the commuter report. elsewhere a crash reported on high street in burlington close to 11 and. watch out for that one as well. we'll check it again in the next half hour. >> thank you. still ahead reports of a chemical weapons attack in syria killing people and children. the latest from the white house in the desperate effort to save lives. and the fight to confirm supreme court nominee, neil gorsuch heats up. and smiles to the classroom in an unusual place.

this attack is being called one of the worst in syria's six year civil war. a suspected chemical strike in the northern provence left dozens of people dead including children, the images are hard to look at. the administration is putting the fault of this attack on the obama administration. calling them heinous and cannot be ignored by the civilized world but calls it a consequence of the past administration's weakness and president obama did nothing after establishing a red line in 2012 after syria's use

of chemical weapons. >> the facts are confirmed that assad is testing president trump and he is testing our new secretary of state tillerson. and we can't do nothing. we'll have to have an appropriate response. >> the trump administration has said in the past it's up to the people of syria to pick what he calls a leader, this afternoon it's unclear who carried out the air strikes, this afternoon rex tillerson said that russia and iran bear great moral responsibility for the deaths and russia denied their planes had any involvement. >> tushing to the terror attack that happened in russia, we now know that a 22-year-old suicide bomber was behind the deadly blast. no group has claimed responsibility for the subway attack that killed 13 people and another 49 victims are in the hospital. some of them in grave condition.

forensic experts found the suspect's dna on a deactivated bomb in a second location. there is a growing memorial at the site. and an intense fight at the u.s. supreme court is in washington today. democrats and republicans in a better debate over president trump's nominee for the supreme court, neil gorsuch. republican leader, mitch mcconnell is poised to change long standing senate rules to get around that. each side is casting blame on the other for the high stakes partisan stalemate. and the trump administration down plays revelations that russia interfered with the last year's election and the real story is that former -- susan rice may have revealed known associates picked up by surveillance.
