it is a great morning from old city philadelphia. it is saturday, november 22nd, i'm karen hepp. >> and i'm lauren johnson. >> growing tensionness ferguson missouri and here at ohm. >> and also a federal judge makes a ruling on sports betting in new jersey. >> we want to begin with your weather. caitlin, it's chilly out there. >> very cold morning, you guys. and we're seeing record lows in some spots, mainly up north in allentown where they started the day off at 16 degrees. we're looking ahead to the philadelphia marathon. that's tomorrow morning. luckily not going to be as cold. we're starting off as 38 degrees at 7:00 a.m. that's the beginning of the race time. that's still cold but it won't

but as cold as it is this morning. so outside right now, we're going to see a lot of sunshine through the morning hours, maybe a few clouds later on. you can see it's moving through ohio so it's not too far away, that pink indicating mixed precipitation, it's not just rain, something frozen, by the time it reaches us, warm air will get ahead of it, so it's really not until sunday night. temperatures maybe not so good. 20 in allentown, it's 28 in philadelphia, and 25 in dover, delaware. so we are starting off very chilled. a lot of sunshine will boost temperatures into the 40s. even though this is not close to normal, 45 degrees will be the temperature later on today. we'll have your seven day ahead. >> thank you. let's look at our headlines right now. philadelphia police are on high alert awaiting the results of a grand jury probe of a shooting of a teenager in ferguson,

missouri. philadelphia police are investigating an overnight stabbing. this happened about 2:20 this morning outside as rite aid store in kensington. we don't have the condition of the victim. >> a home invasion happened on the 6600 block of church lane in upper darby. police tell us this same home was targeted back in april. >> our cover story this morning, these allegations of sexual assault against comedian and philly native bill cosby. he has been denying allegations that he drugged and sexually assaulted a growing number of women and he has never been tried or convicted. now public perception is taking its toll. >> can i ask you, with the the

persona people know about bill cosby should people think any different. >> there is no comment about that. and i'll tell you why. i think you were told, i don't want to compromise your integrity, but we don't -- i don't talk about it. >> everybody else has been talking about this one. howard writes in, i'm all for innocent until proven guilty but if bill cosby is thinking no response is going to get it done, no mistaken. also where there's smoke there's fire. too many voices at this point to ignore. we want to bring in two of our experts to talk about this. an attorney and a crisis management expert. so jeff, we're going to start with you. good morning to both of you.

>> good morning. >> so jeff, this comment says the more bill cosby denies talking about these accusations the more guilty he looks, how should he be handling this. >> the first thing he shouldn't have done is go on television and agree to do interviews. they're for new shows, but how doesn't his handlers or his attorneys know once you're sitting down for an interview, all questions unless they agree beforehand but they usually don't do that, not to ask him certain questions. those are on the table. you're on the record. i don't agree that he should have done those interviews to begin with. especially since you have all these allegations, new allegations and old allegations coming back to surface. >> at this point everyone thinks you've got to say something. you don't think he should be saying something. >> now he's saying something by saying nothing. his attorney has been out there

denying. now you're backtracking. i think initially there should have been a statement certainly if that's the truth, categorically denying any of this and niping it in the bud. it's almost like drip, drip, drip. even sitting down for an interview with the associated press and the camera is supposedly off and he's saying you're not going to use that, are you. they've handled it so poorly from a public relations perspective, at this point someone has to come out and say all of these none, i categorically deny, it's very firm, it doesn't seem like they're being as firm as they need to be. >> we also want to take a look at the legal perspective. i think it's false. why not. they've had time to report it and have justice served. so let's start with the legal

perspective. is there a statute of limitations on these claims? >> he's beyond the statute of limitations of all these claims. so he can't be prosecuted from a criminal standpoint. and even from a civil standpoint, it's beyond the statute of limitations. i agree with jeff with regard to the interviews, but i think bill cosby is kind of damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. if he does on and he denies the charges he's going to be cross-examined by the interviewer about the denial. because to date there's been 15 women that have corroborated these incidents. he would have a hard time and would look bad in an interview but equally he looks just as bad because he has said nothing. if you're accused of something you haven't done, you deny it. that's the normal reaction. and that's what he hasn't done, so i think he has a problem both ways. >> thank you both for your opinions and insight. of course we always have the

court of public opinion so let us know what you think about this case and use that hashtag #fox29weekend. >> it's race time, the philadelphia marathon celebrating its 21st year this weekend. >> reporter: it's cold but it is electric out hear. let's listen to some sounds from the starting line. [ horn blowing ] >> reporter: thousand registered runners. the opening bell of this weekend. organizers tell us it's a great way for everybody to get involved if you're not a serious runner but you still want to lace up your sneakers. everyone out here has their story. their only reason for wanting to run this morning.

i talked to wendy ross, her husband unplugged from chemo this morning so he could be out here and run this time. he's a sports medicine doctor, he's got a team 100 strong supporting him and their logo, a semi-colon. >> he was diagnosed with colon cancer. he's running it on chemo today. he's amazing. >> he sounds amazing. >> he helps other people at work reach their potential. >> reporter: and back here live now runners crossing the finish line here. you can see volunteers out here waiting to great them. this is just a taste of tomorrow's marathon. that is going to be 30,000 strong just in runners alone tomorrow. so a lot of excitement going on

out here this morning. we are live along the ben franklin parkway. swot williams is stopping by with his winter outlook. and he is talking about snow. a recent interview left so many people downright

last night on one person tide, four others were taken to the hospital. no word on the cause of that crash. sports betting is off in new jersey. a federal judge late last night lawmakers cannot lift the ban on sports betting. the ncaa sued the garden state over its plan to allow betting in casinos. new jersey is expected to appeal. >> we are so lucky to have a stuff of wonderful junior reporters. a huge announcement after pope francis says he's going to be coming to our city for the world meeting of families, lauren sat down with the archbishop.

>> reporter: it's finally official, pope francis confirmed he will be visiting philadelphia. so i spoke with the archbishop about how a papal presence has tightened the scale of events. >> reporter: on monday pope francis confirmed he will travel to the city of brotherly love for the 2015 world meeting of families. mayor nutter called it the largest event in the city's modern history, and the archbishop agreed. >> it really doubles, triples the energy about the hope that he was coming. >> reporter: officials anticipate the number of participants to grow each day and exceed 2 million by the pope's arrival on saturday september 26th. the archbishop says he doesn't expect the event to alleviate the financial trouble of the

diocese but revitalize the spirit of the church. thankful for the local and cooperate donations, he says philadelphia is stepping up to the plate and the global conference will improve the community. >> it will put philadelphia on the map again and we hope will be a platform for the next 50 years that we're going to live out of this moment. >> reporter: and with the u.s. drifrs rates at 50%, the. >> it's important for us to stranten paem's awareness of what marriage means, what the commitment means. >> reporter: registration is now open on the event's website but make sure you tune in on all the continuous coverage for everything you need to know. >> back here in chilly philly, it's time for interactive weather and a live look at old city. it's kick off to marathon weekend.

caitlin, someone has a question for you. >> i'm colleen for midtown, wondering what the weather is going to be like for sunday for the marathon. >> you will be running in chilly weather although not as cold as this morning. we appreciate the video. remember, if you want to ask me what you want to know for your forecast, just post it on facebook or twitter, hashtag #fox29weekend. it will be dry, but 7:00 a.m. temperature as the right begins as a very chilly 38 degrees. luckily we'll see some warming by 9:00 a.m., 44 degrees and by 11:00 a.m., 50 degrees. that's the warmest we've been in a while. high temperatures should make it into the 50s. so a warming trend is going to begin even though it doesn't feel like it outside now. the rest of us mainly in the

20s. 28 in philadelphia, 21 in millville, 25 in dover. so despite this cold morning, we'll make it up to the mid 40s today. here comes that warming trend. tomorrow, 54 and some sunshine. the rain looks to hold off until at least until after dark, probably closer to overnight. that is a warm front which will push through by monday. it will be windy and that helps it warm up, especially this time of year. right on the heels of that mild start the workweek, we'll start to cool down. wednesday, a cold travel day and we are watching the chance for some rain, maybe snow along the storm system that would be wednesday, wednesday night. still up for grabs at this point. by thanksgiving itself we dry out, 48 degrees it looks nice but cold as we head into black friday. >> thanks caitlin. he's been cited all around

philadelphia. but who is this so-called philly jesus. and hear his story. >> this is our own aaron who sits next to us in our studios. he is going to be running the half marathon tomorrow. also we have my favorite dish for thanksgiving, what's your favorite thanksgiving meal? a caregiver, who takes care of her mom, she won a big award for mercy life. what are you thankful for? tell us your favorite thanksgiving traditions. use the hashtag #fox29weekend.

a man with a baby stealing. the ups dropping off a box containing toys. then you see a man with a baby in his arms, he looks at the box for a bit and snatches it and takes it off. the issue in this video that really foinds me is the fact that this bum has a small child has his cover. probably a year old. in his arms. while he's stealing this package. people have to remember, we're at a time of year where these delivery services are continually dropping packages off. so you've got to make sure that either somebody is home andor the package is delivered to where so

louie reunited with his mom. >> i think we have a picture of the actual moment. oh, there's the reunion right there with louie the dog. the two are finally together. he was in a car when it was stolen from a home depot in october. investigators found the car totalled and louie was gone. someone knew he was missing and found him right around 6th and thompson in north philadelphia. after all that, he's in great shape. >> that's incredible. >> it's incredible. it's been cold. >> i know. >> maybe he was with somebody. there's more questions on this story, to be continued like where was he, who had him, did they turn him in. how did they find out. the good news is we all know he's back. >> come up, the president,

immigration and his plan. is it your idea of a solution? we ask you. and one of our new contributors. >> after the break. guess what he's going to do. let it rip, it's our new segment. >> also fox 29 jukebox playing some more of your songs. send us your request some more of your songs. send us your request #fox29weekend. deciding between buying food and health care

. welcome back, taking a look at some more of your headlines. buffalo, poor buffalo. they continue to dig out. now there could be yet more problems. a warmup is expected here and there, and that could lead to some major flooding in that area. several travel bans and road closures are in effect right now. >> is it cold enough for you this week? a lot of people were thinking of snow and winter. it was certainly cold enough to snow this week, and we have been thinking a lot about the winter. i'm joined by chief meteorologist scott williams. >> you issued your winter weather forecast earlier this week on fox 29 news at 10:00. i think a lot of people are saying is it going to be like

last winter? >> i don't think it's going to be as bad as last winter. you don't need to panic. but let's talk about what we saw last year. 68 inches of snowfall, making it the second snowiest winter on record for philadelphia. caitlin, just 10 inches below the all-time snowiest winter season. >> so we're coming off the heels of such a bad winter. we might not think it's going to be that bad. what are some factors you take into consideration. >> let's talk about the factors that we're looking at this year. of course the polar vortex, elnino, jet stream paernts and will the systems be nuisance or blockbuster. last year the buzz phrase, polar vortex. >> what does that even mean? do we know what a polar vortex is? >> it's really nothing new. it's something that's always been there. a cold air circulation that's locked up around the north pole and typically you can get a jet

stream pattern that will bring some of that colder air from the polar vortex down from canada, down into the lower 48, and cause us to have well below average temperatures for the winter season. >> and we've already had a taste of that this week. >> we really have. and it looks like the polar vortex is going to be coming back and that could impact how much snow we see. >> and what are we thinking about snow? it looks like we'll have to consider the weak el nino pattern we have to be setting up. in the pacific we have warmer waters and that will lead to a subtropical jet stream. with the weak el nino, we're likely to see more nor'easters setting up and that could bring us more significant can't snow as we move toward the middle and latter part of the upcoming winter. >> what time of year do you expect to see any of these nor'easters? >> i think most of the snowfall will arrive toward january and

february, but we will see maybe a few more flakes before this month is out. and december will likely bring a few nuisance systems. but most of the heavy snowfall we're talking plowable snow will likely occur as we move toward january. that's when i expect the first snow. as we move toward february, that will likely be our snowiest month. two major nor'easters, each differing at least 6 to 10 inches of snowfall. >> last winter we saw 68 inches of snowfall. the good news, i don't expect us to see that much snow. we're talking anywhere from 29 to 33 inches of snow, that's still above the average of 21 inches. but a little best than half of that 68 inches of snow. and last year you know it was

just the. >> nonstop. >> i think we'll see fewer systems but the systems we see in the way of blockbuster. >> that you for the recap. 29 to 33 inches of snow around there for philadelphia, still staying cold and we'll see most of that snow come for after the new year. we'll still have your local forecast coming up next. lauren? >> okay. so we're starting a new weekly segment here, it's called "let it rip." every saturday we're going to break down three big news stores, you react and our guests will let it rip. joining us solomon jones, we're going to start with immigration. the president addressed the nation on thursday. 5 million people possibly protected under his idea. let's go to social media really quickly. immigration action is another way of saying you want to flood the u.s. with third-world,

non-white peasants to help establish a new people. richard writes emotionally overcome by the humane lincoln--esque action. all of us come from somewhere else. all right let it rip. >> first of all, it's not about bringing in or flooding the country with non-white peasants, it's about flooding the country with their tax money. these people are undocumented immigrants who to this point many of them have not been paying taxes. we want to enable them to pay into the system. we want to enable them to benefit anyone. we want to enable them to actually climb and be americans. i don't think there's anything wrong with that. on the question of us all coming from someplace else. that's not necessarily true. my mother-in-law is native american, and so there are people who were here before all of us. and certainly we want to be fair

to everyone who's here. we're all here together now, so we have to figure out a way to make it work and i think that's what president obama has done. >> switching gears. willow and jade smith. >> growing up in hollywood, having two famous parents, having people who are into some cosmic stuff around them has made them just a little bit different. you know. it's a far cry from will smith saying in west philadelphia born and raised. if you brought these kids to west philly, people would be looking at them like they're crazy. >> twitter had fun with this one. after that interview, will smith should send them to live with their aunty and uncle would make a great sitcom. >> i think some of the things they were saying, i think they

have been exposed to some things. i think they are officely very intelligent young people, and they're trying to find their way just like all of us are trying to find their way. but in having them sitting there by themselves kind of saying this stuff, it really sounds bizarre. for instance they said when you think of an apple, you think of the opposite of an apple. it's a tool for understanding mathematics and things with two separate realities. what? i don't understand what you're talking about and i don't think most people do. so it's very shocking to hear them talk about things like the spirit within and things like the melancholyness of the ocean. >> open your minds people, stop hating. we're going to switch gears. another big story of the week,

phillies first basement recently settled a lawsuit. our viewers had this to say. once such an awesome player, doesn't even love the game he plays anymore. and johnny writes money really came between ryan howard and his twin brother. this is sad. >> i don't think we can say he doesn't love the game anymore. we don't know that. what i can say is that he had a $125 million contract and then he said i'm going to let my family handle my fan. now, i love my family to death, i love my brother and my mother and father. none of them are accountants or agents. i'm not letting them handle my finances. it means i need somebody professional to handle my finances and somebody who really understands how to look out for my best interests. it's just the smart thing to do. >> thank you for joining us. we appreciate you.

>> thank you. >> of course you can head to social media and let it rip yourself. us use the hashtag #fox29weekend. >> this happens all the time. people give you advice even though you do not want it. we've got tips what you should do next time that happens. >> and people are still on social media. my favorite thanksgiving meal is spaghetti. >> leon says i'm thankful for my family, my wife and god. >> i truly have the best support system ever. >> and then we have a video, check out cathy. >> all i could say is fly eagles, fly. let's go eagles. love the show! good show. see ya. go eagles. >> cathy, we love you. that's right, go eagles!

we have breaking news coming in right now. there has been a strong earthquake that has struck central japan. no immediate reports of injuries or damage, but this is an alert

just coming in and we're showing you a map right now in nagano. of course the olympics were held there a number of years ago. we'll keep our eye on that and more on the story throughout the next hour and a half. >> you know this better than caitlin and i. being a parent seems to open you up to a lot of unsolicited advice about how to raise your kids. and sometimes it can be hard to handle the criticism. >> so this psychologist offered some advice to moms. she said the next time someone dishes out advice you don't want, thank you, i appreciate your concern. and then move on. and if you can't stop dwelling on their harsh words, walk away, take a deep zen breath and remind yourself what makes you a good mom. >> i think this is true for any

situation. >> absolutely. >> like you just explained lauren a minute ago, when you say somebody is going to ask you do something. >> when someone is asking you to do something outrages, after the news tonight could you go to the airport at midnight because some eagles plane is coming in. >> how do you handle a situation in a classy way when people are saying things that are annoying and rude. >> by felicia. >> this person has been sighted all around philadelphia, even got arrested making a name for himself. why he says police targeted him in all places love, pa.

your news now. this is my favorite story of the day for so many reasons. some are calling it a charlie

brown christmas in the city of reading. the tree that was officially lit up for the holidays, the 50 foot seemed to be lacking limbs and was filled with a lot of holes. last week made getting their original tree possible this was a last minute replacement. i don't know if we ever saw the tree. there it is. >> look at that! >> oh. >> this morning we've got a story in philadelphia that is gaining international exposure. there's a man who goes by the name of philly jesus who was arrested in love park and charged with disorderly conduct, but who is this guy who dresses like jesus, preaches the gospel and takes pictures? his twitter profile says my name is philly jesus. i portray the role of jesus and

sharing the gospel with all. chasing bill anderson spent the day with him. >> what i spit in the booth is the simple truth that god died for me and he died for you. he stood in your place on judgment day and with his sweet blood washes sins away. >> thank you for joining us. good morning. >> absolutely. it's always a pleasure. >> so apparently also the guy raps in addition to being philly jesus. what was your day like? >> you know he's a really good guy. philly jesus is mike grant. he's a 28-year-old guy who got into a lot of trouble, had drug issues, was a part of a rap group, got hit by a car. his life pretty much hit rock bottom and he said while incarcerated he found religion. that rock bottom changed him into the person who walked

around dressed as philly jees. >> getting the message out, what are people's reaction to him? >> it's really interesting. because initially when you hear about him, you hear about the guy wondering around, everyone's first question is is he crazy. people come up to him, people want to shake hands and take pictures with him. he would jump on kids' skateboards. so it really works for him. because he uses the fact that people approach him as a springboard to actually have legitimate discussions about religion. so i think he's getting to more people than he ever would if he just asked to talk to them. >> the bbc did a story on philly jesus, it was trending in great britain. some of the tweets include this one, my new friend is blowing up. seems like getting arrested has turned into a small blessing. and another from kuth bert, the key to the city and a statue

right next to frank rizzo. he just increased the city's tourism tenfold. >> i don't know if i would go quite that far, but i do think he's doing some things. and if you think about it, he had a run-in with the police this time. but since he's been philly jesus and turned his life around, if you go to his instagram page, you see pictures with police officers, you actually see pictures with mayor nutter. this person has been wondering around spreading the message. when i was walking around with him, he told me that he's a different kind of, i don't know that i'll call him a street preacher or what have you, because he'll go to the worst places, bars, strip clubs, violent places and talks to people and a lot of times the message isn't getting there. >> let's go back to the incident where he got arrested. there was an eyes skating rink just open. why did he get arrested? >> that's a great question.

the police say that he was soliciting tips. that was their official statement. they asked him to leave love park. he said that he was not going to leave love park because there was no reason that he had to leave and they arrested him for disorderly conduct. essentially he resisted leaving love park. i spent a couple of minutes with his attorney as well, and he feels like the police overstepped maybe having a bad day, he wasn't doing anything illegal, even if he was soliciting tips, that's not illegal in philly. >> very interesting. it's brought up a lot of discussion. we always like that you get is to the bottom, you dhek it out, show us the people. thank you so much, bill. >> absolutely. i'm always watching. >> have a great rest of the weekend. what do you think about this philly jesus thing? let us know. >> you know thanksgiving less than a week away, but what will you be serving with your turkey?

we're talking thanksgiving beer pairings tomorrow morning on #fox29weekend starting at 8:00. >> i'm also getting so many of your favorite thanksgiving dishes. keep them coming, telling us what makes your thanksgiving so special when you're spending time with family. also, we're playing your song this morning. this one. ♪ ♪

. this hour on fox 29 weekend, preparing for unrest in ferguson. a city and a nation on edge as a grand jury is weighing whether to indict an officer over the shooting death of an unarmed teenager. what you are saying and how our area is preparing. plus a story that blew up on our facebook page. a hunter torn aport over her pick picture with a bear. get ready to get social. we want to hear from you. good morning, from old city

philadelphia at our studios at fourth and market. >> it's saturday, november 22nd. chilly outside. i'm lauren johnson. >> and i'm karen hepp. >> can we recover from the horrible loss in green bay? of course we can. and we will. >> and it's just about time to start your holiday shopping, making your list. do you need help with gift ideas? we've got you covered with this year's hottest gifts. >> it should be getting warmer today. we've already got some openings up there. blue mountain said they were going to be open on some of the runs for this weekend. >> why not? it's certainly been cold enough to make the snow. look at that. that's snow right now being made up there. the poconos are open for business. if you love the ski season, we're off to an early but great start. that being said, there's been some record low temperatures across the area. here's your forecast if you want

to head up to the slopes, we are starting off the day in the 20s. by noon, 32 degrees, 35 and mostly sunny by 3:00 p.m. some clouds start to increase later on. maybe tonight seeing some flurries in there. 33 degrees, so it is cold. but again, here we go with the ski season. ultimate doppler right now, clear skies here. our next system moving in, you see a lot of pink, that's a mix of precipitation. luckily by the time this front reaches us, it should be all rain. future cast showing a few more clouds increased this afternoon, otherwise a very nice looking day. it should be dry, save for maybe a dry shower or flurry in the poconos. the rain does not arrive until late monday at 3:00 a.m. rain moving in along a frarm front. it clears out by sometime mid morning monday. we could have some rain to start the morning commute but it doesn't look like last monday. temperatures in the 20s now.

33 in millville and 36 in wildwood. for the rest of us we've jumped into the 30s. we should hit 45 for a high temperature today. sun and clouds and into tonight, 36 degrees and mostly cloudy. shouldn't be as harsh as it was this morning. and we'll have your full seven-day forecast coming up ahead. >> i do want to get back to this breaking news to keep you up to date on the latest right now. we know a strong earthquake has hit central japan. there have been no immediate reports of injuries or damage, no tsunami warnings have been issued. a 6.8 that has hit areas of nagano city. it happened 10:08 local time over there. some of the bullet train service has been suspended. so that is the very latest on that breaking news situation right now. send it right over to lauren.

>> in this hour's cover story, the entire country waiting for the decision whether or not to indict darren wilson for the shooting death of michael brown. we want to welcome to the show, a former police officer and a community activist and founder of the ferguson national response network. this is going to be a very sensitive issue no matter what happens or what the grand jury decides. social media comments moving along the bottom of your screen right now. one viewer tweets, not for shoplifting and you know it. if not educate yourself about the facts. >> we want to feel that justice is soefd and we are protected from darren wilson. do you think the grand jury should indict the officer? >> if they have the proper facts to indict the officer, then i would agree with it. if they have the proper facts to do so. however, if it's not there, the

evidence doesn't indicate that he was at fault, then they should remedy a decision that's in his favor. >> leslie, your comments? >> i would certainly agree with that. i add i think that the facts as they are -- have been presented to the public, and certainly the information we have would lead me personally to conclude that i hope for an indictment. >> let's get your reactions to this comment. this tweet states, stop making excuses for the criminal and teach your children to not break the law instead of blaming an officer who enforces the law. >> my reaction would be, we talked about breaking the law, that does not conclude with loss of life. so i don't buy into this idea of all crime is warranted by an extra judicial killing. >> and joe, do you want to add to that? >> i do.

first of all, i somewhat agree with that comment, but there is a comment with the children that are raised by good parents is they don't learn the justice system. it is not taught in elementary, it's not taught in middle or high school. it's not taught until they make a decision to go to college and learn how the judicial process works. so part of that is society's fault. >> and sometimes it's taught in real life and we have unfortunate situations that come as a result of that, right? >> that's correct. but to what degree? i teach my kids to do right and live right, but if one of them should steal a car, i didn't teach them not to do that, it just wasn't part of my element raising my children. >> there are several protests planned across the country. there are flyers going around. this one is planned at 4:00 p.m. the day after the verdict. is this going too far? >> i'm not quite sure that it's

going to far if it's peaceful. i'm not sure what their intent is. but if there's threats of an arcy or threats against police officers, then it is going to far. if they're peaceful demonstrations and they're organized, they'll have police services that will help them execute what they're trying to do. if they're intending to hurt police officers, then by all means, police officers have to act accordingly. >> what do you have to say, leslie? >> i definitely agree that the protests that are planned are intended to be peaceful and for citizens to be able to exercise their first amendment rights. and their right to assemble. there's never been a call for violence against police. there's been no violence against police in ferguson over the last 104 days. so that fear is not justified. the only individuals that have been harmed during this period were the protesters themselves. >> joe, leslie, thank you both

for your perspective on this issue. >> thank you. thank you leslie. >> thanks, so much. thanks, joe. >> and it's a weighty issue. of course, everybody has an upon. you can head over to our social media sites and use our hashtag #fox29weekend. >> and new this morning, an investigation into an overnight stabbing, this happened about 2:30 this morning outside of this rite aid in kensington. we don't know the condition of the victim at this hour or if they have any suspects. >> in delaware county, police are investigating a home invasion there. the same home was targeted back in april. >> it's a huge weekend. we have so many people in town for all of the big runs, the big marathon tomorrow and something happening today. >> runners got a taste of the big race. sabina, you staying warm out

there? >> reporter: take a look right now. we've still got a few runners crossing the finish line for the 8k. let's show some video from the finish line. mayor nutter high-fiving runners as they cross that line. 2,000 runners here this morning, hundreds of spectators. tomorrow there's going to be 30,000 runners and 60,000 spectators. earlier this morning we told you about dr. michael ros. he literally unplugged from chemo to run this race for the sixth time. a really amazing story and we caught up with him when it was all over. >> what was it like crossing that finish line? >> that was fantastic. i've never slowed down before a finish line to make sure i was

with all my friends, but that was great. >> i love it, make sure it's happy and sunny and people are having a good time and gearing up for a big day tomorrow. >> and that was jennifer, she actually ran the marathon last year. she couldn't this year, but she still wanted to be part of the week. back to you. >> a social experiment, a case of what appears to be domestic violence caught on camera. people seemingly doing nothing about it. we want to know what would you do. use the hashtag #fox29weekend to sound off. plus, got your holiday shochg list done? we'll tell you some of the hottest gifts of 2013. -- 2014. >> hello, i'm bruce gordon.

first on monday morning came the announcement that pope francis will visit philadelphia next september as part of the world meeting of families. on the final day of that event, sunday the 27th, the pontiff is celebrate mass in front of more than a million worshippers. just hours after that. >> philadelphia is a big city with big events. >> trying to land 2016 democratic national convention. philadelphia is among a handful of final lists for the big party which will mean lots of atejs and lots of visitors. the price tag, 45 million bucks, the cost of hosting the dnc, more than twice that. my take? i think they're right.

the 2000 republican convention in philly was widely praised by just about everyone, other than the protesters whose treatment by police led to major lawsuits. our annual fourth of july celebration has become a huge attraction, and major concerts from made in america to benefits like live aid have gone out without a hitch. philly has suffered an inferiority complex. on major events, we can hold our own against any world capital. if only we could get the little stuff right. i would sure hate to see the pope mobile disappear into one of our

mccoy. if this team is the real deal, it's going to be on shady's shoulders, not mark sanchez's arms. >> what's up with desean jackson? he's basically saying look, don't take offense to this? >> it's always good to catch up with our neighbor down to the south. he fired up an instagram which his coach had to respond to on tuesday which is just amazing when you think about it. you can't do epic stuff with basic people. but isn't that what chip kelly said about desean jackson? >> it's a mess down there in washington. so we're complaining about last week's lost, but their quarterbacks are fighting down there, desean is fighting with everybody. desean tweets and instagrams with the best of them. >> do you think it was not towards anyone specifically and who knows it was about. >> no, that was towards robert griffin iii because his

quarterback came out and said things, even peyton manning needs his players around him to play well for him to succeed. this is the world we live in with some of these guys. you don't talk to somebody, you tweet it out. >> i like it, the passive aggressive part about social media. >> and then there's a baseball player who's all smiles. >> this is giancarlo stanton who just inked a contract. the richest in baseball history. do you think he had a good time that night in that picture. >> 325 million can buy you that bottle. i believe that bottle was $10,000 and he didn't buy it. that blonde next to him is like a professional promotor, one of the stories i read, she bought that big bottle. >> she got a little something in return, i'm sure. >> oh, wow.

for anyone to stop recognizing any other holidays. you have a diverse community, you have to do things to acknowledge that community is diverse. >> some of the viewers agreed with bill. >> thank you fox for acknowledging the issue. thank you bill for reporting the actual facts. sandy, i just don't understand why every holiday can't be celebrated. thousands of others disagree. here we go again. changing our holidays because it offends someone. >> does any other country change their traditions the way this country does? many others just missed the point. if you don't like our traditions, go home. if you want equality, then go back to your own country. hey terry, isn't the united states considered the land of equality? we would ask you to think about that. up next, angry viewers take mike jerrick to task. mike and the good day gang having a little fun before the

eagles-packers game last week. yes, that's a steamroller smashing keys on the faces of packers' pictures. some viewers did not like it. >> with all the people

a new study finds that powerful women are prone to depression. are you guys surprised by that?

according to researchers at the american social logical association, women with authority have these higher signs of depression. so the study's author says it may stem from women citing gender roles. when they're assertive they're judged negativetively and afraid of being unfeminine which then can contribute to chronic stress. >> and sometimes people have a choice word for powerful, assertive women. >> a negative stigma. >> it does. >> we want to get something done and they say men are confident, but women are -- rhymes with witch. >> exactly. i don't think we needed a study. >> you've just got to own it and decide i'm not going to be depressed. >> you've got to do it two times as hard to be as good as a man.

this is a pretty disturbing statistic. did you know one in four women experience domestic abuse by a spouse or a boyfriend and now a question for you, if you witness that, would you step in to help? a swedish group found most people would actually ignore it. their org sationz conducted a social experiment. they set up a hidden camera inside an elevator. out of 53 people who rode the elevator, only one woman spoke up. we posted this story on our

facebook page. we got lots of comments. we're going to start with your reaction with just a few of them. speak up, people. please, as a survivor myself, don't stand there. we need a voice. i guess you would agree with her? >> i certainly would, lauren. and i think intervention can look like a lot of different things, whether it's speaking up in the moment or ensuring that you're safe and notifying the authorities. but i think the larger issue is just that statistic. one in four women in this country experience violence at the hands of an intimate partner. one in three women worldwide will experience violence in their lifetime. this is a conversation we need to be having and we need to be having it often in a lot of different forms. >> we also hear law enforcement say if we hear something say something about a crime in this community and it applies in this situation as well. >> absolutely. seeing saying and saying something at that moment, and

also taking our shocked reactions to this video and translating that into the conversations we're having in our homes, in our schools, in our community of the and also the things we're asking our lawmakers to do. here one things we work on is a bill called the international violence against women act, and in terms of saying something, everyone watching this segment right now can call up their lawmakers and say this issue is of concern to me and i urge you to support this piece of legislation. >> in a situation like this, you don't know if that person might have a gun or a weapon that could hurt you. this is a very hard situation, very dangerous. the best help you can do is call the police. that's a valid point, right? >> that's a very valid point. i think every context is different. there is no cookie cutter response to witnesses domestic violence. i think the point i would want to emphasize is most of this type of violence doesn't occur in the light of day. it occurs behind closed door.

women need to feel safe and secure coming forward saying hey, i need help. >> ask lots of questions. lisa writes, my pocketbook weighs about 50 pounds he would have known what was all in it too had i been in that elevator. >> let's just take this opportunity to start having these conversations, tell our lawmakers we need more actions on these issues. >> thank you for joining us. >> thank you. and let us know what you would do if you were in that situation. make sure you use that hashtag #fox29weekend. >> now to a story that went viral on our facebook page. a famous hunter receiving angry back lash over the picture she posted to her facebook page. thousands of people wrote on her

facebook page, many supporting her but others tearing her apart. if you want to hunt for a need of food, that's one thing. posing and smiling in photos is simply psychotic. what's wrong with taking a picture and being proud of your accomplishment. so joining us by skype from russia to address this story right now, eva shocky. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. yeah, the photo, so it was honestly it was no different than any other hunt that i go on throughout the year. i did nothing different than the photo. i always post it on social media, facebook, instagram, twitter. and this particular photo was my bear, i went to north carolina with my dad and we were filming for our tv show, and the only difference was this got picked up by main stream media because i posted one specific comment, i get thousands of them, but i

choose one but i thought it was ridiculous. they told me i should shoot my dog instead of the bear so i posted that and it got picked up by fox news and it expired from there. >> well, here's an interesting thing. you mention all those comments. you had thousands of comments, we got thousands of comments when we posted it. i want you to address this one. it comes from kara and she got 427 likes on this one. game wardens told my sons during their hurnter safety and responsibility course. two things you shouldn't do, post pictures of your kill on social media and drive around with your kill exposed on your media. why? because if you want people to respect your love of hunting, you need to respect others' love of animals, it's a 2-way street. do you think by posting it on social media you would make a different decision the next time? >> no. i wouldn't. the thing about social media, my facebook page, i mean, i don't know what i have now, 680,000

fans on social media on facebook. and they're there because it's a hunting page. the people on my page, it's not really my problem because the page is for hunting. it's to be proud of what we do as hunt erts. the thing about being as hunters we know what we're doing is right. things we're doing for wild life management and all of that, those things are good. i don't post it on my page as shock value. like look at me, i want people to talk about me. that's totally not it. if i didn't have one negative comment i would be happy but obviously that would be happy but hunting is obviously a controversial thing. but on social media that's my page to share with people my stories. if people want to come on and look at photos and they hate hunting, that's what's going to happen. but i would never not post it. >> thi post pictures of my pets.

they are proud and i am proud. she is a supporter as well. what do you think of that comment? >> you know, that's what it's about. hunting is a passion, i would say. it's a hobby, a passion, depending how much you do it, for me it's a passion, it's what i love. i've turned it into my career. thankfulfully i had a dad who opened up doors for me to do it. i absolutely love it. what's the difference? hunting to me in my mind is a good thing. so what's the difference between hunting and posting pictures and if someone does something else they think is good and posting pictures of their hobby. there's no difference. it's a great thing and why not share it with everybody. >> what are you doing in russia? >> my fiance is a professional

hockey player so we live in russia and i commute back to america for work. >> certainly your supporters and your critics as well. we appreciate your time. >> no problem. thank you for having me. >> we appreciate it. what do you think about this? give your opinion, use our hashtag #fox29weekend. >> we had a technical glitch just a few moments ago. we fixed it so we're going to bring you fox unfiltered take 2. >> it's time for fox unfiltered where we respond to your comments and complaints right here on the air. first up, a controversial segment we aired on fox 29 weekend last saturday. a muslim group in maryland asks a school district there to acknowledge their religious holiday of eid. they wanted a religious day off like they do for christmas and yom kippur. but instead of granting that, the district decides to

eliminate the term "religious" from all holidays on their schedule. the kids still get christmas off, but it don't be for religious reasons. >> the muslim group didn't ask for anyone to stop recognizing holidays. if you have a diverse community, you have to do things to acknowledge that community is diverse. >> some of our viewers agreed with bill. >> thank you fox for acknowledging the issue. thank you bill for reporting the actual facts. sandy. i just don't understand why every holiday can't be celebrated. but thousands of others disagree. here we go again. changing our holidays because it offends someone. does any other country change their traditions the way this country does. many others just missed the point. if you don't like our traditions, go home. if you want equality, then go back to your own country. hey terry, isn't the united states considered the land of equality? we would ask you to think about that. up next, angry viewers take

mike jerrick to task. mike and the good day gang having a little fun before the eagles-packers game last week. yes, that's a steam roller smashing cheese. with all the people going hungry i find it irresponsible for fox to destroy food just to show support for the eagles. wasting cheese? best to donate to a food bonk. we hear you, hunger is a serious issue in our area. that's why we made it clear that the block of cheese we used was expired. it was not edible. as for us having some fun with the green bay cheese heads, kevin wrote these gimmicks are useless. just play football. >> we thought it was pretty fun. dare i say, pretty gouda? too bad the eagles got creamed.

see what i did there? i'm standing here with the wonderful sue serio, and in the 14 years i have worked together, i have never, ever heard anybody clan about you. >> never, ever. >> yeah? >> until now. >> one day last week, you gave out a very generous grade when it came to rating the day. >> you give today a 10. >> a 10. they didn't like that, really, sue. i had to scrape frost all of my windshield this morning. how do you explain yourself? >> well, okay. it was a little chilly in the morning. but it is november after all, and the high that day ended up being 63 degrees when we should have been in the 50s, so that's a 10 to me. >> and that's it for this week's fox unfiltered. come on, take us on, so many ways to reach us. send us an e-mail, facebook, twitter. we would

welcome back everyone. so sue serio, she has been inducted into the broadcast pioneers of philadelphia hall of fame. >> yeah, sue! >> there she is with mike jerrick giving her a kiss. we had a camera there last night. more than 20 local broadcasting legends were inducted. there sue is about to accept her

award. she had a great speech, obviously not her first time speaking in public. it was very funny, humbling, very cute. i was lucky enough to be there to support sue and all of her family was there, too. it was really just a wonderful event. this one is her family members. there's her sister beverly, her mom came up from baltimore. and that's her brother and sister-in-law right behind her there. there's mike giving her the kiss and our whole fox 29 family tried to be there. >> so modest. i was like congratulations, and she was like oh, i don't deserve this. >> she didn't even tell anyone. >> that's sue. she's so humble. but it was lovely to see her get

that award. >> it means so much to her. >> it's so nice. >> we love to share. >> she was very worried she was going to cry. >> all right. so it is just about the time to start your holiday shopping. sue is on top of things. she comes up with the best things. if you need some gift ideas, we've got some of the hottest gifts of the year coming up. >> but time for another music request. emotions by mariah carey. ♪ ♪

temperatures in the mid 40s in the afternoon with partly cloudy skies. high pressure in control, a lot of sun right now. we'll see some clouds increase this afternoon. ahead of our next system spreading a mix of precipitation into western pennsylvania. we don't see rain until sunday night. it's warm out there now, mainly in the 20s. we started off at 15 degrees in allentown this morning. let's jump ahead to the eagles forecast for tomorrow. a warming trend will occur. temperatures will be in the mid 50s during the game. it looks pretty nice. your seven-day forecast, 45 day, there we are jumping up into the mid 50s. the weekend looks dry, it's the rain coming in sunday night into monday. the temperatures fall off. we are watching closely wednesday. it could be a tricky travel day with the potential for a system off the coast that could bring rain, maybe some snow.

start looking at getting one right away because they may not be there when you're getting closer to the holidays. >> you might have to take a picture and print it out and wrap it up for some people. another gift, get me cards against humanity for christmas and i will love you forever. what's that? >> this is a really hot game right now. it's a card game, it's not for the light of heart, it's not for kids and it's not to play with people you don't know too well. it can be raunchy. they try to pick their answers from a group of cards. i can't give you too many details on that. you'll have to find out yourself. you will have to have the best time. >> finally maintained writes, my mom wants a fit bit for

christmas. she can't figure out how her iphone works. can you tell us what that is? >> fit bits are great. you can just clip them on to your basically your shirt or your pants and hook it up with an app on your phone and it will track all of your movements throughout the day, count calories and you can work it with the app as well so you can plug in what you've eaten and other exercises you've done. so it's a good way to watch what you're doing during the day, count those calories and if you're trying to lose weight it makes it easier to keep tabs on what you're doing. >> any last minute things you want to add? >> well, i think x box 1 is really great. they have a deal going on right now. if you're looking for a video game console, that's the one to get. and if you really don't know to get anyone, there's a coal robot out called the mip robot, it
