> the key remaining suspect in the brussels terror attacks has now been arrested. reports say the amad was captured alive yesterday in a terror sweep after months on the run. he's 31 years old and he was the last suspect wanted in connection with the terrorist attacks that happened back in november. officials say it is likely thatç a i beanie is also the man in the hat, the mysterious figure shown in surveillance footage leaving the scene of last on months brussels airport bombing. brenda del cot oh was decontained at a house in mexico. she faces murder charges of a killing of a dentist in texas. investigators say she was jealous because the doctor, kendra hatcher was dating her ex-boyfriend. pope francis calling on priest around the world to be less
7:16 am
compassionate and less judgmental. the new message comes from long awaited new guideline on family life in a document titled the joy of love. the more than 250-page document is the culmination of two sinning sinning ons or gatherings where they gather for challenges around the home including divorce, sex outside of marriage and compassion in the. a possible pathway for the divorced april remarried catholics to receive wholly communion. it is important to note the document makes no changes to church doctrine. teaches religious studies at villanova university joins us this morning. good morning. >> good morning. > after explaining what this new document actually says is that it doesn't change doctrine. will this have any impact on the church or is it a lot of words and no actions.
7:17 am
>> i think it will have a significant impact on the church. i think while you're right there is not a change in church doctrine here. pope francis is continuing one of the things that he's done since the beginning of his pap as i which is to signal a change to his pastorly roach. this is the year of mercy and i think this is the leading edge of how he wants to bring that mercy to family. what i compared it to is when the federal government recognizes that there is rules in place but they basically tell you, listen, make your own decisions, we won't step in. is that kind of what he's doing to allow priests in individual parishes and what have you to make some of their own decisions? >> i think he is inviting priests and couples, priests and individuals to enter into a conversation that will allow them to discern really, to figure out what the particulars of their particular situation are. it really is an attention to
7:18 am
individual people, individual couples in the difficulties and complexities of their life. he really sort of is saying, he says in one place in the document we're not reel to replace conscious. we're here to form conscious. is it a slippery slope because the response so far has been conservatists are a little bit unhappy with him because he's opened those doors. some in the lgbt and those individuals are a little unhappy because he didn't go far enough. did he create a situation where both sides are now a little bit unhappy with it? >> i think that pope francis certainly has done nothing here that he didn't do before in terms of leaving a certain amount of, i guess, you might call it what looks like wiggle room, that kind of pastor discretion that he offered that i just spoke of to a certain kind of conservative sounds like too loose. i think you're right to say
7:19 am
that. this document was never going to have a fundamental change in church doctrine with respect to t gay and lesbian relationships. so he offered -- he said people need to be treated with dignity and respect. we immediate to have deep compassion for these situations, but he wasn't going to change church doctrine for lgtb folks. he is i a howing for the conversation and that is a step in the right direction. thank you, professor whose we appreciate your time. >> thank you. > let's take a look at the weather because we have a lot of happening. some of you are already letting us know that there is some snow falling. i don't see it in the picture of the pocono mountains dave warren. a the look of the reports will be in the western suburbs. this is just the initial stage of this event, we'll call it. not a lot of snow expected p, but it could cause a little slippery roads right here right in the middle of the davol there's a the lot going on
7:20 am
today. we had this weather question sent in. hi, dave, i'm in fish town. we're getting getting ready rain to snow and the snow is heaviest. that middle of the day there, between about 11 1 # and 1 we've had heavy snow that could actually over come the fact that we have the sun angle which is higher at this time of year which could melt the snow on the road. it could be a little slippery for a brief period of time today. here's where the ultimate doppler has the rain and snow now moving into the the western suburbs. we are getting some reports of some light snow in lancaster county moving into chester
7:21 am
county. the bands of heavier rain will work its way up and swing around the area. look at how it changes direction. as the it moves north it actually starts to bring in some colder air so we can get the rain mixing with snow. here it is, the time between 11, 12 and say about 2:00 that i is where we could get the snow to accumulate on the roadways. the peak of the snow heaviest between 11 and 2 rain changes to snow and maybe even some thunder out there. this will leave some snow amounts. i'll mr. at the accumulations and the seven day forecast coming up later. > thank you, dave. medical marijuana could be prescribed to things like cancer and glaucoma, but some lawmakers would like to add another ailment to the list. coming up, what changes to new jersey's medical marijuana laws that could result in a lot more women beagle jill forth
7:22 am
prescription. when it comes to the fight between privacy and national security. there's an app that could end up causing some big problems for the fbi. the comments making their way in. carla says looking forward to the info containment today. working on your taxes, not so much. they don't love that. this one is from michael. i guess there's no need for the spring hat in the weekend forecast. such a cute picture. happy birthday to my awesome love, al. happy birthday al. cheers. there's the lottery numbers. hope you have them. we'll be right back.

the opportunity she deserves? is it finally witnessing all the artistic wonders of the natural world? whatever your definition of success is, helping you pursue it, is ours. t-i-a-a. it doesn't matter what's going on, that song will always start the day right, always make you smile as we take a look a at allentown. welcome back to good day. let's take a look at some of this morning's top stories, pennsylvania governor tomorrow womb is urging not to, the law
7:30 am
would be unconscious substitution alan would be give restricted laws in the nation. it would prohibit abortions after 20 weeks. governor wolf said he would veto the measure if it does make it to his desk. bald eagle, good news back in the wilted. tri-state bird rescue and research release the bird after helping nurse it back to good health. this is the third bald eagle found in that condition. environmental control is still trying to figure out what killed five bald eagles in that county. an amazing opportunity for a delaware teen. 17 year old brittany gear has been named an ambassador for children's miracle hospital to represent her state.é-ambassadoe country to highlight the work of children's hospital. she was caused with a disorder a causes abnormalities throughout
7:31 am
her facial bones. despite her challenges she mentors other children with similar health conditions. wait until you see how weekend wendy is dressed for this event happening in camden, new jersey today. it is the camden come a con. i think we're going to call her super wendy. it's going to be a great time. these come a con conventions are always are. it's happening from 8 in the morning until 6 in the evening. is the super hero gash enough. >> enough to get through the snow in the middle of the day. there's camden all clear, but we are starting to see some radar activity not quite reaching the ground yet. it is in parts of lancaster county and certainly down south where it is rain, but it is right along 95 and to the northwest. that is the concern. really the timing looks between
7:32 am
11 and 2 when it is heaviest. that's when it can coat everything, even treated roadways. despite it happening in the middle of the day. winter weather advisories in effect because of that reason. the heaviest by around noon. it could actually start as rain and then change the snow as the intensity increases. so to this band right here between 11 and 2 where we'll start to see that accumulate. temperatures are at or above freezing in am areas. dropped blow freezing in allentown. we'll watch this closely. that could help eliminate the amount we get on surfaces. the first time mother who refused to be vaccinating for the whoop cuff and show has a heart breaking message to share with new parents. in an emotional message posted to facebook, consider met after toll said if she could turn back time she would protect herself and get the vaccination during the 28th week of pregnancy.
7:33 am
she thought she was bullet proof. her daughter got the disease and now has been in the office for three week. every hour i got to stay her, watch her going blue, give her oxygen, watch her cry, watch her having a hard time eating. she's my only child and my first. if i could turn back time, i would have protected myself. > let's talk about this. we have pedestrian doctor judy lar kin here. what's your first reaction when you hear this story. >> it's sad. it's sad that she made a choice that was ultimately a poor choice and she's now dealing with consequences of that. you know, everybody makes mistakes and i think she's recognizes that. i think she's very cure age just to come to a platform where she can share her story and hopefully influence people in
7:34 am
making a lot of better choice. there is so much information and confusion when it comes to the whole vaccine issue. betsy says my daughter still got the whoop cuff even though the vaccine. vaccine are not 100 percent and they kill millions around the world. there is no vaccine for scar lot fever. i'm sorry her daughter got scarlett fever you but a vaccine wouldn't have prevented that. they provide immunity, but it way not be perfect immunity. sometimes you can still get a disease even though you've been vaccinated. the disease may be milder. and i think the risk of not being vaccinated is still a huge risk. this comment from crystal how am of you actually read the ingredients in some of the vaccine, some i totally agree on for safety and health reasons, but some of the new ones they come out with have crazy harmful things in em this. i'm always surprised at people
7:35 am
that we as physicians and as providers are injecting their children with bad things. i think again it's a lack of information and yeah, when you read an ingredient list on anything there are sometimes words that you don't understand and chemicals that you don't understand, but vaccine are studies over and over and over and there's constantly reassessment and reevaluation and those ingredients that might be in the vaccine as a preservative are also being looked at over and over. so again our intent is never to cause harm. our intent is to take care of our patience and make sure that we give them the best care imaginable. vaccine protect most of us most of the time and that's the goal for the large population because this diseases so am of you forget are horrible. the dioceses are horrible and i think people don't remember them and a lot of the newer -- not new, on of these vaccine have been around 30 years now, but new in the sense that when i was a resident we saw kids die of
7:36 am
some of these dioceses and as a physician i have the huge respect for the diseases that we're trying to protect people from having because i did see the consequences, once you see those, you remember that of and you never forget it. if i never have to see somebody die from a vaccine prevented illness ever again that would be wonderful. > thanks for coming in. women who suffer from menstrual cramps could soon find some relief. a bill that is bee proposed for which a dr. could prescribe medical marijuana. actress whoop i goldberg is launching a line of medical marijuana products designed for women. under new jersey law doctors can only prescribe marijuana for certain conditions such as terminal cancer and multiple sclerosis. a woman takes a hidden camera

listen. the story we've been talking about all morning, a woman decided to tape record her story and was shocked some of the things her surgeon and others in the operating room said about her while she was sedated. ethyl easter says the disrupt tone about her meeting about a hernia operation was what led h her to tape her surgery. shes what able to hide the recording under her hair. he made disparaging remarks about her body. one staff member told the anesthesiologist. it was meet precious meet priest was i was a this black woman. the spokes woman for the hospital declined comments. the hospital said it used this opportunity to remind the or staff and physicians to be mindful of their comments at all times. is that enough to have any legal
8:14 am
rights when we're undergoing surgery? attorney heater hanson joining us to break it down as she always down. we've now heard this story, got some interesting opinions on it. the woman is upset. but does she have any legal resource. >> what are her damages? she's upset, that's really a stretch to say month you now deserve money for being upset. she did some things that in some states are illegal. in pennsylvania you can't tape someone unless you have their consent. in my mind she should not bring something that is not sterile. she could be endangering someone. the relationship between a dr. and patient is a special one. no one wants that when they're in the operating room. doctors and nurses are human beings and sometimes they say things that they should not say, but some of us say when we are having a bad day.
8:15 am
i saturday there and listeninged to the recording, if i heard that when my mother or someone was in surgery i would have lost my mind,. is it appropriate, no, do you want that type of energy surrounding you when you're under anesthesia, absolutely not. that said you can't be sneaking things into the operating room. in addition, and one of the interesting things is she apparently was very challenging for the doctor preoperatively. that doesn't mean that you're allowed to speak that way at the patient. at the same time patience should be aware that doctors are human beings and challenging patience actually lead them to make more misdiagnoses. if you're a patient you want to be the most pleasant patient you can be and if you're a dr. remember that the person who is there that you are operating on is a human being with brothers, sisters, sons who would be very upset if you heard them speaking about that way. she discovered on the recording is that they may have ignored
8:16 am
one of the things that she said she was allergic to and given her medication that they should have been aware of. she said they were ignored because they were too busy having fun at her expense. you have to have some physical damage. if she were to sustain a rash. if she were to get sick because she took the medication, then arguably she would have a case. just because someone wrong you -- no harm, no foul is what it comes down to. finally, you touched on this, people who are thinking about doing in this pennsylvania, no. event in the operating room, not only are you endanger yourself when you bring something that is not sterile in. you're endangering anyone else. if she brought that device into the recovery room, there's other patience there. now you're violating their privacy. it's a dangerous thing to do. i would not be doing it.
