scooter? will it be windy enough to fly my kite? >> it will definitely be windy enough to fly your kite. it certainly will be windy, it will be nice as we go through the rest of the weekend, especially tomorrow easter sunday will be beautiful. outside right now the rain from yesterday overnight is clearing out, even those clouds starting to diminish, giving way to sunshine outside. the cold front swept through overnight. it's pushing the rain out but it's also bringing the wind and some cold air behind it. most of the rain out of here but some sprinkles back towards harrisburg otherwise we're looking at sun. temperatures in the 30s to the 40s to the 50s. it was mild and even pretty muggy last night. we're not going to rise much from where we are right now. that cooler air will keep coming through. with it the winds.

these are sustained wind speeds. we expect this wind to continue all day long. not diminishing until later tonight. so today the good news is the rain is out, it's not nearly as gloomy as yesterday. gusts over 40 miles an hour at times throughout the whole afternoon. tonight the winds diminish, we clear out, 39 the low temperature. that's the set-up for a beautiful easter sunday. we'll have your full holiday forecast ahead. >> in the news this morning, right now out of philadelphia, police are searching for a driver involved in a deadly hit-and-run accident. in fishtown. police say there was a man crossing the street when he was struck by a white ford escape. the man was not in the crosswalk, the driver sped away.

if you have any information, please call police immediately. flames ripped through a port richmond building overnight. the fire was contained to a vacant minimarket. the tenants living in the apartments above the store were evacuated. the good news, nobody was hurt. >> happening today in the news, friends and family members will say their final farewell to a delaware county police officer killed inside his home. >> sabina is outside the church with the latest there. sabina? >> reporter: bill and karen, the viewing will begin in just a few hours for officer hudson here at st. joseph's church. uniformed officers and patrol cars will escort his casket to

the church. officer hudson was a part-time officer in darby borrough. his ex-girlfriend has been charged in his death. >> this guy was an exceptional person. he was born to be a police officer. day he was born, it was in his blood. he had a natural reaction for it. >> and back out here, the chief saying that the support from the community in the aftermath of officer hudson's death has been just tremendous. again, the viewing beginning at 10:30 here at st. joseph's church with the burials to follow shortly thereafter. >> dozens of family, friends and community members gathered at a

candle light vigil last night. white died while in police custody on tuesday. authorities say he went into respiratory distress in the incident in which he was cuffed and restrained. officers were responding to a call of a disorderly person when they took him into custody. vigil goers allege the arrest was violent and call for officers to face charges. >> justice needs to be served. >> we're trying to find closure. i hope his family finds closure. i know everybody is hurting. >> the prosecutor's office is investigating an official cause of death so far has not been released. >> it's making headlines all across this country and unfolding right here in our own backyard. an accused home grown terrorist.

this all comes after a two-year investigation. investigators say she goes by the name of young lioness and is accused of wanting to join with and fight with and martyr herself on back of isis. she applied for a u.s. passport back in february and last month she had purchased a plane ticket to head to spain. they also allege she researched buses from barcelona, the common routes to syria. >> you trying to join an organization that is terroristic, you don't know who you're putting in jeopardy. >> investigators say she communicated with an isis fighter who asked her if she wanted to be part of martyrdom. she said that would be amazing.

a girl could only wish. so many people are talking about this. we've gotten hundreds of comments on our facebook page. another one down, probably a million more. you never know where they are planning this stuff. these people are corrupt. this is not part of islam. islam does not teach killing innocent people. we are going to be speaking with a professor to discuss isis and our war on terror. please weigh in, use our #fox29weekend. >> over the next week, jewish people will refrain from eating bread in commemoration of the unleavened bread they ate as they rushed out of egypt. >> the pilot's mental state now

sparking a debate on depression. could this tragedy have been prevented? plus how he spends his days changing young lives with a simple smile. the story that will touch your

>> would you look at this? this was a lunar eclipse that was the shortest blood moon. it was just early this morning. in case you didn't get a chance to see it live, here it is. it began just after 6:00 eastern time this morning. when the moon entered the earth's shadow. let's get over to caitlin roth. >> the third time in a two-year time span that we'll see that blood moon cast that creepy glow. yes, i am reading from google.com right now. i didn't know that myself. each month though, the full moon has a name. so the blood moon was early this morning. well we saw the showers move out overnight and we're looking at improving weather as we go through the rest of the weekend forecast. a lot of you traveling, a lot of you have things with the kids. what can i expect over the

holiday weekend? the forecast dictates a good portion of my day. i totally understand and we are looking at good weather. today is windy but tomorrow the winds diminish, temperatures will be warmer and with the sunshine the temperature will get up to 62 degrees. really dreary weather yesterday, and muggy overnight. temperatures will fall as we go through the rest of the day. 51 in philadelphia right now, 54 in dover and it's a big shore weekend for a lot of people traveling there for the holiday. we've got the winds gusting over 40 miles per hour at times so that's going to make it a little difficult. otherwise the wind helps dry us out. sunshine for the day. easter sunday again 62, sunny and beautiful. monday looks really nice we

should hit 70 degrees, and tuesday the showers role back in. we could be stuck in this pardon of clouds and showers for a few days that will keep temperatures cooler back into the 50s but as the rain ends on friday there, we'll see temperatures jump back into the 60s. we'll keep you updated as we go through the rest of the morning. >> let's take a look at some of your headlines this morning. pope francis is condemning the deadly attack by islamic militants in kenya this week. it killed 147 people. he is praying for a change of heart among its perpetrators. the white house says the attack will not stop the president from visiting kenya in july. and for the very first time, the u.s. and iran along with other world powers have agreed

to a framework to limit tehran's nuclear program. it includes mandates for iran to reduce its centrifuges and it must agree to inspections that verify compliance. in change the un will begin lifting some of those harsh combhik sanction. >> iran wouldn't be at the negotiation table unless they thought they could get something and unless they needed something. so keeping the pressure on is a way to make sure they change their behavior. >> the president said this morning he expects a vigorous debate on this one and he has promised they willfully brief congress on the substance of the iran deal in the weeks to come. >> in this morning's cover story, a philadelphia woman is in federal custody. investigators say she was making plans to join isis. she tried to travel overseas making various posts on twitter

aligning herself with terrorists. when thomas bought a tickets to spain, that's when officials made a move and raided her north philadelphia home. joining us now to talk about her arrest and the war on terror, professor lustig. stop wasting our time. it's one thing to disagree what your country is doing but to go against secrets to help and aid people in this country that's just treason. this is nothing new. you would be very surprised at home hits the police department gets for terrorist alerts. starting with that second comment, is there more of a focus on this? are there more threats are we just living in a different information age so we hear more about it? >> we are living in a different

kind of circumstance. the initial idea after 9/11 was we were going to be attacked by sleeper cells in the united states, real dedicated terrorists activated by organizations abroad who spend their lives thinking about how to hurt the united states for political reasons. those people exist and studies of them show that they're perfectly normal psychologically. what we see now is a different kind of thing. those people are looking for loaded guns. some are air planes, some are bombs. what we now have is through social media and the internet, those groups able to find in the united states and europe loaded guns. that is people who are so disturbed and upset that they can find through social media a dramatic way to express their internal tensions and they are what's called a lone wolf terrorism threat and much more difficult in some respects and probably more prevalent.

>> and you wrote a book on this. now with social media, there are people who make threats, there are people who will make comments. where's the line between someone who is upset and someone who is going to act on it? >> we have legal lines for that. ty think our law enforcement is able to track as best they can and to move when action is taken as it endangers the united states as it did in this case apparently. i think the key thing here is to lower the number of people who are available for these kinds of messages, and that means strengthening a mental health system that has really abandoned thousands, if not tens of thousands of americans to find their way in a world where they feel furious, paranoid, anxious and disturbed and use social media and use these vivid images of heroism and struggle to find that way to express that internal fury. i think this is a wake-up call

for our mental health system as much as it is the security system. >> when you talk about the mental health side, how far does the country -- how far should the country go in prosecuting someone like kiona here in philadelphia. >> i think it has to be a case-by-case situation. people have to be evaluated whether she is psychologically fit to stand trial. i think we see in a lot of cases, the jihad jane case and others, that people who are put in prison or people who have been going through disturbed times in their lives, suddenly transformed themselves into a kind of fanatic that is available for this type of a mission, quote unquote, sponsor from abroad, but this is really taking advantage of a gun that's already loaded, not of a person who's turned into a dedicated terrorist. >> we appreciate you spending some time with us. this is the third person in just a few days. so obviously this story is not

going away. we'll continue to keep you informed. thank you. and folks, we want to hear from you. we want to know what you think your comments on this issue, it's all over social media. you can leave us facebook comments, you can tweet. just use the #fox29weekend. >> 8:20 is the time. we want to get your opinion on this one. very popular comedian turns to social media when officers pull him over. why one of the tweets is causing controversy. also, does a local mother who gets a pardon from governor christie this week, she's speaking out. what she has to say about that controversial arrest. good morning to you, thank you for send thanking one. and another really cute dog. this is a reward for saving -- after fire out there. keep your comments coming, your

questions and your pictures. we also have good music requests. what are we listening to? >> this one is "one less problem without you." it's actually called "problem." make sure use the hashtag it's actually called "problem." make sure use the hashtag #fox29weekend. sometimes, caring for your neighbors means going the extra mile. when our patient, susan, mentioned her dad couldn't make it in to pearle vision to get his eyes checked...

we went to him. and we realized, if he had trouble getting new glasses... he probably wasn't the only one. to us, eye care is about living dr. pearles legacy. building a trusting relationship with the person behind the eyes. this is genuine eye care, right in your neighborhood. this is pearle vision. now, more and more americans are discovering that shredding galbani mozzarella yourself inspires moments that are simply better. mmm, galbani (sfx: kiss). italy's favorite cheese brand.

my hair hurts.. this is what it can be like to have shingles. a painful, blistering, rash. if you had chickenpox, the shingles virus is already inside you. 1 in 3 people will get shingles in their lifetime. well i had to go to the eye doctor last week and i have to go back today. the doctor's worried its so close to her eye. talk to your doctor or pharmacist about your risk.

>> crime is a community problem. he's drunk. he's behind the wheel of a vehicle which weighs several thousand pounds. in this particular case community members came together.

three individuals take what i consider to be a dangerous individual. they were able to hold him until police came and arrested him. these members are to be applauded. >> still ahead on fox 29 weekend, terrifying new details describe what passengers endured just seconds before a deadly plane crash. the pilot's mental state now sparking a debate on depression. could this tragedy have been prevented. >> and we want to share with you our newest fox 29 weekend viewer. how cute, just born this weekend. congratulations. what a kiss on your baby. so show your baby pictures. the kids games got cancelled with the rain, let us know what your event is that's happening

today. so many easter egg hunts. what are we listening to now? >> i personally love how much karen starts to glow when the pictures come in so keep them coming. this one "sugar" by maroon 5. keep watching, keep sending them and we'll be right back. ♪ ♪

welcome back. it's the bottom of the hour now, 8:29. in your headlines. sara brady has died. she became a powerful force in politics after her husband was badly wounded protecting president reagan during an assassination attempt. brady helped to oversee legislation that put restrictions on gun purchases. she was 73 years old. also a philadelphia woman who faced 12 years in jail for taking her legally licensed gun across the bridge into new jersey has been granted a pardon by governor christie. >> new jersey doesn't recognize pennsylvania's permits so without christie's intervention, she told me the challenges she was facing for being labeled as a felon.

>> i feel as though i could start over now. >> i've been following this case and she shared with me it was nearly impossible to get a job with a felony gun possession on her record. she hopes that the pardon will allow her to get back to work but hesitates to go into new jersey. there's more she wants you to know about her story and she will join us here tomorrow. >> how about this, the revel finally sold. a judge is now objecting the sail of the atlantic -- sale of the atlantic city resort. it cost $2.4 billion to build when it opened in april 2012 now selling at a 96% discount.

the phils playing the first home game of the season. spring training game of course. the test for the new security system. starting this year, come monday, fans have to go through metal detectors. this is a new rule for all of the major league baseball stadiums as a result of the boston marathon bombings. you can see the fans right there getting into the ballpark quickly. the crowd was lighter so the real test is going to be against the sox on monday. >> they work great. they are fast technology. they're much more efficient than a pat-down, less intrusive. we're still learning but hopefully we'll get to a point where we are experts on this. >> they're saying this is going to take less time. here's the deal. fans take out your phones, your cameras, your keys out of your pockets and don't bring in any bags bigger than 16 by 16 by 8

inches. >> measure all that before you go in. >> here's another rule. homeowner day is rainy, disgusting, cold and wet. let's find out if that's going to be the case? >> it always is. it's just the rule. >> let's listen to our question. what do you want to know? >> it's raining but i hope the weather clears up because i want to do something and don't want to be stuck in the house. >> i don't want you to be stuck in the house either. the good news it is clearing out. we've got sunshine but it is windy an the winds are going to howl all day long. so you lose one for another here. outside right now, ultimate doppler showing the showers from yesterday pushing off. clouds are clearing rather quickly and we should have a decent amount of sunshine today. your fox futurecast for today, it's not necessarily what you see but it's what you feel with

the wind. we've got the winds, the air keeps coming in and it keeps getting cooler. the sun is out, daytime highs try to rise. we're going to see temperatures stuck where they are all day. clear skies as we head into tonight. if you're out and about on this saturday evening, no problems outside. 37 in allentown, 51 in philadelphia, 54 in dover. we'll probably only rise a degree or two from where we are now. winds are sustained out of the northwest about 20, 25 miles per hour. we've got a lot of races out there this morning. you're going to be running not just into winds, but gusts up to 40 miles an hour. we've got clouds giving way to sun, windy and cool, tonight we clear out, 39 for the low temperature. easter sunday itself looks beautiful. so the winds just calm down as

we head towards tomorrow. we've got a lot of sunshine and even some warmer temperatures expected. morning services is chilly but we rise into the 60 by the afternoon. temperatures still in the 50s by evening. >> at 8:34, we have some new details about that deadly germanwings plane crash. we now know the copilot sped up the descent before crashing. that plane went into the side of the mountain killing everybody on board. a lot of people are still wondering how is this guy allowed on the flight deck. here's what we know so far. he appears to have locked the captain out of the cockpit. antidepressants were found in his home and investigators say he may have been suffering from mental health problems. let's look at twitter. it wasn't andreas lubitz who

flew the plane into the mountain. it was his disease. everyones talking about how he had depression. he is a mass murder. do not malign those with mental illness for his benefit. so it was deliberate. they knew this pilot had been seeing doctors for depression. so why was he allowed to fly and to kill those people. so let's join us this morning and talk about this right now. we have a therapist, good morning to you dr. wilson. >> good morning. >> this is such a difficult one because we want to be sensitive to people who have depression, but certainly we don't necessarily want them in the cockpits of our airplanes. what do you make of this situation? >> this situation is uncommon for someone to fly a plane into a mountain with 150 people on board, but the common illness of mental illness is not out of the realm of possibility when we

think about what we deal with every day. we're just talking to the professor downstairs in the green room and one of the things i said to him was that mental illness looks like you and i. they're the people that are next to you on the elevator with you or sometimes at the dinner table. mental illness is real, and quite frankly, we're not doing enough. if i were to rate how we're doing with mental illness, i would say this country and other countries have a big fat f. we have to pay more attention. >> clearly he was getting treatment. how can we make sure that people who are troubled, not in positions where they can bring harm to so many people.

>> this is something that the public needs to know as well, there's a duty to warn and a duty to protect. so if at any time this young man stated to the mental health professionals that he wanted to harm himself or that he was thinking about harming other people, than the authorities should have been notified. like i said, all bets are off in terms of confidentiality when someone says they're a threat to themselves or they're a threat to someone else. now, just -- it's important to understand that that doesn't mean that someone that comes to a mental health professional and has depression needs to be worried that their koftionality is going to be breached. the reality is many of us have mild depression, event-oriented depression, someone dies, you have a job loss. most people go through that at some point in their lives. but it's not the kind of depression that will send you into a downward spiral and make you want to kill yourself or

hundreds of people. those are major red flags that need to be attended to by the authorities taking over to protect others but to protect him. we're not doing a good enough job with that. >> in this country they have a policy, obviously that pilots must self-report but it's not so punitive where they lose their entire career if they get treatment but they're trying to be more aware about the problems with mental illness and they could eventually after treatment fly once again. so it's not something where you would not want to do it because it would ruin your career and ability to earn. >> what we think about it from this perspective. if you had a physical illness and you needed to take a leave of absence to get the proper care, that would not then prevent you from going back on your job. that would not prevent you from earning a living. and we're all connected mind body and spirit. so we need to change the conversation to recognize that as human beings we are going to be bound to experience not only

physical illness but sometimes mental illness. but it is real. what has happened in the past is we shied away from the conversation and then the conversation does not move to the places where putting dollars to places where people would get the support and care they need. people shouldn't lose their jobs over it, but we also shouldn't put other people in jeopardy because people are mentally ill or need to have treatment. >> one of the take-aways i learned this morning, in this country there would have been that obligation of the professional to report that mental state of the pilot. dr. wilson, thank you. use our hashtag #fox29weekend. >> she didn't expect to deliver her baby on the side of the highway, but she had no choice. why this mom is now saying thanks a lot, obama. and a bucks county man is changing young lives with just a

>> good morning, i'm dr. mike. by the year 2030, there will be a dramatic increase in the number of antibiotics given to livestock. why? to keep them healthy and let them grow and be more productive. the problem is bacteria resistant to antibiotics. this is a problem and we need to

address. it. with the ever-increasing popularity of electronic cigarettes, women need to know if you're pregnant or if there are young people around, nicotine cigarettes can be dangerous to developing brains. nicotine can have negative effects on memory and other parts of the brain. don't do it. in a new study, researchers have found that if you take a nap during the day for about 30 or 40 minutes, you can actually improve your memory and performance at work fivefold. tell your boss at work dr. mike said it's okay to take a nap. i'm dr. mike. said it's okay to take a nap. i'm dr. mike. have a great weekend.

others. now, americans everywhere are discovering that... spoon after spoon... dish after dish... time, after time, after time again... deliciously creamy galbani ricotta inspires meals, and moments, that are simply better. mmm, galbani (sfx: kiss). italy's favorite cheese brand. now, america's number one ricotta.

>> hello. >> what's going on there, karen? everyone has seen me walking around the studio with this, this is periscope. people who are following us live can see what's going on through twitter. >> it's a new app, do i have to download the app? >> you don't. if you follow us on twitter, when we tweet it out, you'll see it in our tag. you can click on it and go

behind the scenes. >> the great one at the zoo, it is the rabbit one. >> in its wake, clearing skies but also the wind and the cooler temperatures. fox future cast shows a lot of sunshine as we move through the rest of the afternoon. clear skies into tonight. easter sunday looks beautiful especially into the morning

hours. slightly concerned for a shower late in the day. there's still potential late in the evening, otherwise the day looks good and that would be easter sunday. seven-day forecast, windy and cool for today. 54, we lose some wind. this going to be a good one this year, 70 degrees mostly cloudy skies. the rain should end by friday. >> you had me at 70. a baby boy made his unexpected arrival during barack obama's motorcade through louisville on thursday. the president was making his way through the city causing a bottleneck. meantime a pregnant woman was going into labor right at that moment. luckily a nurse was also stuck in traffic and got out to help. >> i have never delivered a baby

on my own and i've never delivered a baby in the middle of an interstate. the mom, she could have hemorrhaged, the baby could have had a cord or a shoulder or any number of complications could have happened. >> emergency crews got to the scene 12 minutes later and thankfulfully mother and baby are doing well. >> this morning we're taking new focus. we're going to bucks county. where there's one man touching so many lives. our photo journalist shows us he wouldn't have it any other way. >> reporter: most people in america are engrossed in the madness of march, 86-year-old al fonz o. >> you guys got next game. >> reporter: opening the gym on saturdays for willing players for over 30 years.

>> are you kidding me? >> we just make sure we keep ourselves calm and cool. >> teaches manners. he's been a real role model for all of us. >> reporter: former players even bring back their own kids just to meet him for the first time. >> you come here one time and he'll know your name. >> reporter: that's why the principal made him the official morning greeter here at the school. >> the first person i see in this morning has this big smile and have a great day means the world to them. for some of them it might be the only smile they get all day. good morning everybody! >> i just have a feeling for everybody. i'm the kind of a guy who's good to have around because i'm always positive.

love you. >> reporter: for 45 minutes mr. durant shakes hands and tells each kid he loves them. >> they need to know somebody has your back no matter what. >> reporter: even a crowded sixth grade lunchroom is no match. who else would get a reception like this. >> i lost my wife four months ago, and the great part about my nancy is the fact that we were married over 60 years. and just the best thing that ever happened to me in my life. >> reporter: mr. durant came to work each day after, supported with, you guessed it, lots and lots of hugs. >> what more can i say?

if you can have that in your corner and have people love you, it's remarkable at my age that i walk around happy. thank you so much for being so sweet. >> reporter: just before the kids left on spring break, they made him this card. telling him how much he means to them. >> every time they give me one i cry. i think my biggest thing is when i found out that these kids like me, it got even better. >> reporter: sometimes in life it's the small things that have the greatest impact. who knew that smiling could be so contagious. >> i'm an old bugger and you still

>> this is the trend. >> this was all about mike for mayor. >> today on the anniversary of this very program, good day philadelphia, i'm announcing, seriously, my candidacy for mayor of philadelphia. >> over 15 years ago, my career brought me to the great city of philadelphia. in those years, this city has become so much more than a career move. it has become my home. >> it really was a great ad, mike. >> i want to thank my speech writer who put that together. >> how about some endorsements

that i got from pretty big names. >> i mean, it's you know, mike for mayor, i can support that. >> i'll be his chairman of the democratic party. i'll support an endorsement for you for mayor of the city of philadelphia. >> the people who live here have become my family. every morning as i watch the sun rise i see the potential of the people in our city. >> there were so many tweets. it was unbelievable. it seemed like everyone was reaching out to lend their

support. >> remember vote for mike. we'll

>> it's now 9:00. lots of things going on and we're going to continue to track what's turned out to be a nice day. >> we do want to talk about a lot of stories that have been developing overnight. there was a person killed simply crossing the street. it happened in fishtown. we're going to bring you the latest developments on that one. >> and there was a father who has a unique way of disciplining his son. didn't put him on punishment,

didn't use more severe discipline, but he's still getting a lot of discussion on social media. >> it is a beautiful saturday. many of you have plans out there. let's take a live look over at the zoo where we have the rabbit run. >> we have a lot of races out there and we do have egg hunts, easter activities on this saturday morning. one of our viewers wanting to know about the west chester railroad easter bunny express train. that's today. i'm going to defer to karen hepp. >> they take the train, the easter bunny joins them. it runs various times throughout the day and a similar event in

bucks county as well. >> we're thankful that the weather has cleared out. we don't have the showers from yesterday. they're long gone, temperatures in west chester starting in the 50s and falling. snow in new england and upstate new york. so unfortunate for them. ultimate doppler zooming in across philadelphia, just some clouds and we'll eventually see all sunshine. it's mild now, but we're just going to see temperatures stay where they are if not fall as that cool air comes through. winds are sustained at 20 to 30 miles per hour already. we were last hour at 40, now 32 mile an hour wind gusts. the sunshine is great, but it

will be blustery all afternoon. your 7 day forecast, windy and cool. tomorrow sunny and nice, 62. how about 70 on monday. it looks beautiful for opening day. showers roll in mid week. >> new in the news this morning, right now philadelphia police are searching for the driver involved in a deadly hit-and-run accident late last night. it happened around 11:00. police say a man was crossing the street when a white forward escape hit -- ford escape hit him. they're looking for who may have been involved in this accident. >> it is 9:02, something that is happening today. right now there are so many people that are getting ready, friends, family members, gathering to say good-bye to a delaware county police officer. sabina, what's going on out there? >> reporter: bill and karen,

unending love, amazing grace. you can already see dozens of his fellow officers as well as fellow firefighters where he was a volunteer firefighter here at st. joseph's church. this is a sad day for darby and for delaware county. officer hudson only 26, four years on the force. shot and killed in his home while off duty a week ago. police have since charged his live-in girlfriend with murder. the darby chief described hudson as being born to be a police officer and he couldn't say enough about officer hudson's character. >> he had a natural connection with people. no matter who you were. he was a very kind, caring person. >> reporter: and a procession

behalf of isis. one of our guests in the last half hour he touched on how this exposes a bigger problem in the u.s. >> i think the key thing is to lower the number of people who are available for these kinds of messages. and that means strengthening a mental health system that has really abandoned thousands if not tens of thousands of americans. >> investigators say thomas communicated with a fighter who asked if she wanted to be part of a martyrdom. she responded that would be amazing. a girl can only wish. president obama says he will brief congress in the weeks to come on the substance of the iran nuclear deal. for the first time the u.s. and iranian governments have agreed to a framework to limit tehran's nuclear programming. broad specifics of this deal includes for iran to reduce its

centrifuges and to agree to inspections. in exchange our country and many others would begin the lifting of economic sanctions. >> it's a sure sign of spring. it's baseball at citizens bank park. we want to know what are your predictions. what are you expecting from the team this year? >> and also, would you write on your child's -- this is a punishment that has millions of people talking. >> we respond to your comments and complaints right here on the air. first up on the hot seat is our good friend, mr. chris murphy. how are you? >> good, jeff. what's up. >> you were reporting live from a local bistro.

what has come in is the bread and the bread is from the bakery. did you see what chris just did? did chris murphy just pick up a roll with his unwashed hand and put it back in the box. gross! oh, chris you didn't. >> i did. i'm embarrassed. i didn't know i did it, but i did it. >> please tell me that you're not a double dunker too. >> no. never. >> you would never double dunk? >> no. >> i'm standing here now with the dean of this city's traffic reporting. did i just see chris murphy double dunking? >> you did. >> we do have a complaint about you, my friend. >> me? >> well, it's not bad. generally on good day philadelphia, we see you like this. nice shirt and tie, a little more casual. but one day you decided to go crazy.

joanne noticed. she e-mailed us. i just want to know how come bob kelly had a coat on today. was it something special this day? like him just in a shirt and tie. so what was going on today? >> well, joanne, just a shirt and a tie? actually, no. i got jelly on my shirt that day. i had to put the jacket on. >> i'm standing here with sean bell, he's our new weekend sports caster. i was told to stay away from fox unfiltered. who told you that, eskin? today in your news i saw an anchor man i have never seen

before. please keep him in. >> i look forward to cover the phillies sports team. >> i'm not sure that's what she was talking about, my friend. you're a local guy from new jersey. >> that's right. >> i understand you went to a school somebody has heard about. >> penn state, that's right. we are penn state. >> have you met eskin? >> of course. >> how is that going? good luck with that. >> we want to hear your comments. so e-mail us, text us. we're happy to take on your so e-mail us, text us. we're happy to take on your views next week.

everyone wants to be the cadbury bunny because only he brings delicious cadbury creme eggs. while others may keep trying, nobunny knows easter better than cadbury.

welcome back. happy easter. thank you for sharing that. we love the bunny ears. so cute. >> let's take a look at your interactive weather. people are getting out there, they want to get out and enjoy

themselves. you can see in the poconos a beautiful day. it looks like to go hiking. but first we've got a question. >> hi. we're wondering what to wear. >> if you have a request, send it to us through twitter, #fox29weekend. and the weather does look like it will be a lot nicer today. already, the rain is gone, we've got the sunshine but the winds are howling. it will all settle down by tomorrow. we've got a beautiful easter forecast for you. mostly sunny skies. a little bit warmer tomorrow. i think with the wind and temperatures in the 50s, it's going to feel pretty cool all day long. this is thank to a storm system that brought the showers yesterday. it's moving out, cold enough for snow in new england and upstate new york. they're going to have a white easter there.

future cast, the clouds continue to move out, as you wake up tomorrow morning, a lot of sunshine. chance of a shower late in the day north. otherwise we look pretty good. outside right now, 48 in allentown, 51 in philadelphia. it was muggy and mild overnight in its wake we'll see temperatures steady or falling later today as the cooler air comes in. 54, windy and cool today for saturday. sunny and very nice for sunday. this is probably the best opening day we've had in years. really nice afternoon. showers roll back in tuesday. and 65 degrees here on friday. we'll see some improvement as the rain ends by the end of the week. >> thank you, caitlin. dozens of family members and friends gather for a vigil for

white who died in police custody on tuesday. he went into respiratory distress during the incident. officers were responding to a call of a disorderly person when they took white into custody. vigil goers allege the arrest was violent and call for officers to face charges. an official cause of death has not yet been released. a lawyer for 34-year-old erica confirms she is going to be spending 30 days behind bars and also two months on house arrest and will remain on probation for three years. authorities say she sent a teenager explicit photos and text messages. the district fired her shortly after that arrest. >> and this morning, a father who's taking some heat on social media, he said he had no idea

how people would respond to the punishment that he doeld out to his son. the north carolina man and camden native said he wasn't happy about his son's report card. so he decided to teach him a lesson. he came up with a different form of discipline. he took a marker and wrote my grades matter over his son's brand new white air jordan sneakers as a constant reminder that school comes first. this blew up on social media. patricia wrote this father showed how much he loves and cares about his child. he didn't put him down. he gave him a positive message to strive towards. i think he's a good dad for handling it this way. emphasize on good. but sharon's got a different take. so let's humiliate him instead of talking to him and working with him after school at night and working with the school to get to the source of the bad grade issue. so joining us by skype this morning to talk about it, the

father and son. good morning. thanks for joining us. so dad, starting with you first. you heard some of the feedback. why the smeekers? why discipline him that way? >> we tried other ways. grounding, taking things away. i needed something -- he's too big for the corporal punishment. we tried to do a more modern way and a more effective way of getting my point across. we need something that would resonate every day. when you go to school with these shoes on, your outfit is so fresh and this is -- it takes a village to raise a child. so now when i'm not there, my message is still resonating through the village. you can't talk in science class, your grades matter. hey, did you get your grades up. so now the conversation is not about the aesthetics of his

outfit, it is about my grades matter. it's a continuous message that doesn't stop. >> so junior, your dad said it's about the village, it's about other people talking to you and reminding you. what was the feedback from your friends, how did it affect snu. >> a lot of people this is just -- one kid told me that -- >> so then on some level what your dad was saying actually worked? it did have an impact. >> yes, sir. >> dad some of the criticism that we got, here's another one we got on facebook, you wasted all that money on sneakers and then ruined them. so who's really losing here. did you punish yourself as much as you punished your son. >> wait a minute, oh, my god. the sneaker it still works. it still protects him from water. oh, my god.

the sneaker still keeps him acorn and lego and rock free. they still work. if he stubbed his toe or steps on a rock or something. oh, my god. the shoe no longer works because i put a marker on it. >> thank you for spending time with us this morning. >> tell us what you think. social media continues to respond to this. good parenting, a good form of discipline or too far? tweet us, use the hashtag #fox29weekend. >> and it is 9:19. speaking of our kids. we wants you to weigh in on this one. researchers are taking a closer look at adhd and how children are being treated. what they've discovered coming up in health news. >> you can't be possibly tired of hearing this music. >> thank you for sharing that cute little baby with us. and we've also got some other wonderful kid pictures on this

holiday weekend. happy easter. we love those cute faces. are those twins? we love your dog as well. we need some help with this one. lost dog. >> it's time to get up to stretch, to continue to watch fox 29 weekend and to send us your song requests like this one. keep them coming, keep the baby pictures. keep karen smiling and keep watching fox 29 weekend. ♪ ♪ ♪

>> comments starting to come in about the interview with sneaker dad. the father is trying to teach his son if you don't get your grades up, this is the consequences. look at what william has to say. sneaker dad is cool dad. my grades matter so it sounds like people are supportive. >> play ball. are you ready for a season with the fighting phils? good morning, mark. >> good morning. how are you doing? >> nice to have you with us this

morning. what are your predictions this year? >> i wish i could be a little bit more positive, but not very good. probably about a 65, maybe a 70-win season for the fighting phils. >> what do you think about injuries? they looked pretty good last night. >> how about ben revere, walk-off home run. that's good to see. ryan howard has to stay healthy. make sure he's more of a guy who's playing in 130 games this year. but injury wise right out of the gate you have cliff lee with injury problems, so that's a huge worry, and he's going to be starting off on the disabled list. when it comes to jirg the phils,

there are no strangers to that. >> how about some of the new guys on the team? >> you look at a guy like brian who just started out with the phils, he's bounced around from the astros, from the marlins, he was let go, had three home runs in this past spring training so he could be a nice little surprise for the phils. most likely a left fielder if ben revere doesn't start out in left field he'll probably be the right fielder. >> home opener? >> i'd like to see cole hamills go sore less and increase the odds of him being traded to boston later in the season. >> to that end, who do you see being traded this season?

>> if cliff lee can prove healthy a little bit later in the year, most likely he would be able to get out there and be traded but i think that's the biggest if. ryan howard, he could be moved to the trade deadline. but most likely, come that trade deadline, july 31st, cole hamills will no longer be a member of the philadelphia phillies. >> thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> absolutely. have a good one. >> enjoy the rest of your weekend. and what are your predictions? let us know. use our hashtag #fox29weekend. >> a federal judge cracked down on a facebook scheme. and the music will start. if you're sitting there enjoying your morning coffee.

beautiful picture. ready for easter. heck yes. so, so cute. and we have a lot of other easter bunnies. thank you for sending that one in. and i love your bat girl. keep your pictures coming. >> those are great. >> we're going to come back in just a moment, find out exactly what's going on with the weather. taking a look outside right now. center city. looks like a nice day to get out and enjoy. and we'll tell you exactly what's going on but first we've got a question. >> hey i'd like to know how the weather is going to be today. >> gradually improving, luckily. we saw the rain from yesterday moving out, now we've got the sunshine but the winds are increasing. it's already very gusty. and we love your weather questions in any format. remember to send them to us #fox29weekend.

cold enough to produce some snow in upstate new york and new england. so a white easter for some towards our north. it's chilly now but we'll have a beautiful easter holiday. temperatures in the 40s and 50s. it was mild, muggy all day yesterday but we'll see that muggy air clear out. temperatures are in the 50s now, we'll probably stay right there if not fall into the afternoon with the colder air coming through. and that wind is delivering the colder air. sustained wind speeds 20 to 30 miles per hour outside right now. 43 mourn wind gusts, 32 at the airport in philadelphia. it's the same way all across the area. so expect the wind with us all afternoon. your fox cast for today, we've got the sunshine, so improvements. windy and cool, 54 degrees the high temperature today. tonight the winds diminish, we'll clear out. tomorrow easter sunday, it's going to be a beautiful one this year. just a lot of sunshine, not nearly as windy as today and it

does look a little bit milder. we'll rice to 62 by the mid afternoon. that's a look at your holiday forecast. your 7-day forecast still ahead. >> taking a look at your headlines at 9:32, another blow for pennsylvania's attorney general's newly hired chief of staff blake rutherford just up and quit. >> in an e-mail he wrote to staff on friday it was his last day he was joining the staff of a city law firm. also friday the philadelphia inquirer called on kane to step down. it's dif kilt to see how she can continue to serve. >> other news at 9:32, chelsea manning is now on twitter. you may remember the imprisoned

transgender army private joined the social media network just yesterday, serving 35 years in military prison for leaking classified documents to wikileaks. she tweeted this out, tweeting from prison requires a lot of effort and using a voice phone to dictate. how many people do you have that follow you on twitter? >> about 12,000. >> i have about 15. >> guess how many, in one day, that chelsea manning has? 31,000 followers. >> that says bad things. facebook and its founder are being forced by a federal judge to release documents regarding any communication they had with the man who claims they lent zuckerberg money back in 2003. that man is on trial for

allegedly falsifying documents to show that zuker berk promised him part of the company. he cut off his electronic ankle bracelet and he and his wife or children have been seen since. >> the cdc has published its first national study how adhd is being treated in our children. this is a study that looks at dietary supplements, behavioral therapy and medications and they're trying to see how these are being used to treat adhd in children from the ages of 4 up to 17. data from 2009 and 2010 was used just before the american academy guidelines were released. those guidelines recommend only behavior therapy not medicines and later on a combination for older children. doctors hope it's going to bring information and opportunities for behavior therapy to children. >> failed expectations during

this easter holiday season are through the roof. with food sales expected to top $5 billion. grocery stores can expect to see the most traffic. food items aren't the only big sellers. clothes, candy and greeting cards also benefit discount department and even specialty stores this time of year. the shopping continues. >> i'm a grown man and my mom still makes me an easter basket. and i just admitted it publicly. >> you must tweet pictures. >> we all know how powerful social media is. there's a very popular comedian, i find this so interesting. why is this a controversy on

twitter? >> chris rock was stopped several times by police and he started taking pictures when it happened. and some people saying taking those pictures is actually taunting the police and it goes too far. we'll talk about it coming up. >> also, take a look outside right now. our cameras jumping all over the place. we do have huge gusts of wind. caitlin is going to give us more of that. >> classic. "if i can't have you." listen to this one, relax, chill, maybe dance around your house and keep watching fox 29 weekend. ♪ ♪ >> did you ever get the feeling that your bills are the size of

wyoming but your checkbook is the size of rhode island? it's called a short-term financial jam. there's two types of loans that i want you to avoid. the first of these loans is a payday loan. you're borrowing against your next paycheck. next you have a car title loan. you're using the car as collateral for the loan. you've got to be careful because these loans are putting new carpet in your house while it's on fire. in fact, according to a recent study, interest rates can be as high as 300 %. in the case of a car title loan, you miss a payment, you're walking to work. not good. so here's a few tips to help you get through a short-term cash crunch. first, pump up the emergency savings. whatever it takes. throw some money into that emergency fund. next, call your bank and see if they'll put an overdraft on your checking account. you will pay interest, but i

guarantee it will be a lot less than the other types of loans. check out www.consumerfinance o www.consumerfinance.com. the goal is to make sure you don't get caught on the spiral of short-term debt. we're trying to put you on a circle of prosperity. i'm cashing out.

>> your kids are going to sports practices but what is up with the personal trainers, the diet itions, we were talking about it today at the salon and you say there's no need for the extra, extra stuff and we need to tell moms to relax. >> and at the end of the day it's little league and you have to let them play to the best of their ability. >> make them go to practice but it's a little over the top.

. let's take a look at some of your comments that are coming in, because some of you are responding to the story of the dad writing on the sneakers. i think he sounds like a great father. kudos to him. the people on here who are bashing him. you're morons.

that's one opinion. excellent parenting, that's his vote on that one. i've got other people out there. if i don't hear one more thing about these sneakers, i'm ascream. let it go. overkill. we like all your opinions. >> we will keep the conversation going. a lot of topics for us to focus on. but first we want to find out what the weather is going to be like when you get out and about. taking a look right down the street from us. caitlin, going to be a good enough day to get out and explore a little bit? >> not too bad. we've still got the clouds hanging over the city. but sunshine is expected through the rest of today. the rain is gone but the winds will be howling all day. windy and cooler today. just jumping straight to easter sunday. this is the best day we'll have in the next few days. a lot of sunshine, 62 degrees. a beautiful, beautiful afternoon. it won't be as windy. so 54, sunny windy and cool

today. monday may be better. the clouds are increasing throughout the day but it's still mild. 70 degrees the high temperature. showers roll in by tuesday and we've got these april showers lasting almost all week long. clouds and showers keeping us cool wednesday and thursday, temperatures in the 50s, 65 with the rain ending there on friday. bill? >> a popular comedian turns to social media after cops pull him over not once, not twice, but three times in seven weeks. the first incident happened on february 13th. chris rock tweeted this picture that you can see just got pulled over by the cops. wish me luck. then 14 days later, rock posted this picture for his twitter followers to see. he said i'm not even driving. stopped by the cops again. the latest incident happened earlier this week. the caption on this picture, stopped by the cops again, wish me luck. we don't know why he was pulled over or if he ever got a ticket,

but his police stop selfie are stirring up controversy. i sold my $90,000 mercedes and bought three priuses because i got tired of being pulled over by the police. joining us now, solomon joins. >> good morning, how are you. >> i'm good. >> what do you think, man? is this a situation where chris rock is taunting the police? is he going to far on is he just telling the truth. >> i think he's just telling the truth. the whole thing is documented. university of kansas is a study on black male drivers under 25, more than twice is likely to be stopped by police for investigatory stops. that's steps when they basically have a little bit of suspicion. they want to see if they can search your car. you haven't necessarily done

anything wrong. more than twice as likely as their white counterparts to be stopped. and once stopped, they're three times as likely to be searched. i think chris rock is putting a face to what we already know colloquially as driving while black. >> why not? and yes, people are aware of this, both you and i are aware of this, but why not take the opportunity to do something to tell people how you should act, to talk about the treatment and not just seemingly make a joke about it on social media. >> i don't think it's a joke. i think it is him putting a face to this thing. i talked with the inquirer on my show this morning, she said she wouldn't be surprise if he did something to really illuminate it. because we know chris rock has done those types of things in the past. he did a thing called how not to get your [ bleep ] kicked by the police a little while ago. it was tongue in cheek but there was a lot of truth to it. i think if he does this as a

comedy routine, it can bring attention to it that you and i might not be able to. >> the comments come in. this comment says that's what everybody should do every time you're stopped. take a selfie and post it. so there's no thought at all that he's getting pulled over because he's driving like an idiot. it has to be because he's black, right? get a grip. what do you think about that? as we pointed out, we don't know why he was pulled over. it is possible that three times in seven weeks he's driving like a nut. >> that's possible, but it's not possible -- probable. the average american driver has a 10% chance of being stopped in the course of a year. he's been stopped three times in seven weeks. we don't know the outcome of these steps but we do know this. one time when he was stopped he wasn't even driving. so was he driving like an idiot when he wasn't even driving? i don't think so. i think he's bringing light to something that we all know about

as black people. >> the other side of that is he wasn't even driving so it wasn't him who got pulled over. can he make that an issue of himself we don't even know who was behind the wheel. >> it's not about chris rock. i think it's about a systemic pattern. and everybody wants to say it's everything except race. and maybe it is. but what else could it be if black drivers are this much more likely to be stopped than white drivers, especially if they are young, black men. if you look at chris rock, you don't know how old he is. you know he's driving this nice car. so you stop him to investigate this car. but you wouldn't do that to a white male the same age. so i think that it is a systemic problem. i think that race is a factor, although not the only factor. and i think that chris rock is bringing light to it. >> we all know it's an issue and we appreciate you joining us to have this conversation.

the conversation continues on social media. >> i'm glen gross of fat jack's barbecue and this is your fox 5 food bite. everybody is tired of the cold weather. barbecue and grilling season is coming up. we're going to get ready for that. we're going to start with fire roasted corn and black bean salad. take some corn and throw it on the grill. get a nice even tone to the corn. so here's our beautifully grilled fire roasted corn. hold your corn upright, take a knife. and just cut the kernels off. very simple. you're going to get all that corn flavor to add to what we

need. you want about four cups of corn. this is a fresh jalepeno pepper. make sure you wear gloves and you don't want any seeds in it and don't touch any parts of your body. eyes, nose, mouth. very simple. take the stem, rip it off, take a little plastic spoon and core the seeds and get the seeds out of there. core the middle. now we're going to take this jalepeno and finely dice it. you only want a little so it's not too spacey -- spicy. we're going to grab some fresh cilantro and chop it up. i do stems and all. that smells really good.

so now we're going to make our salad. three to four cups of fire roasted corn, put it in your bowl, grab the diced jalepenos, throw them in. grab the cilantro, about a cup of tomatoes, diced. red onion, by the way this is a pretty colorful salad. we're going to add about a cup of black beans and drain them first. we're going to add about 3/4 cup of celery. we're going to add about half cup of green peppers and about a third of a cup of sliced scallions. if you want a little salt, you can add more salt, if you want more cumin or more spice, take it hotter.

i'm going to add about a half tablespoon of garlic, sugar, a pinch of cayenne pepper, about a tablespoon of chili powder, adobo, cumin. last but not least, a little bit of olive oil. you want to add about a half a cup, if you find it's a little too dry, don't be afraid to
