the 27 story structure has been burning for nearly nine hours now. although not as badly as before. the fire commissioner says a number of people have died and at least 50 others are being treated at five london area hospitals. now, this is what the inferno looked like early this morning when it began to engulf the entire highrise. witnesses say they saw a number of people trapped in the flames and given how long it has been burning, there are fears the building may collapse. firefighters have not indicated any possible cause. we will that continue to monitor this developing story in london and bring you updates throughout the morning. >> ♪ >> new this morning, man who was riding a bike in north philadelphia is in critical condition now after being shot. the shooting happened around 10:30 last night along the 2600 block of north 17th street. police say the victim was on his bike when the bullets came. he was then able to run a short distance away after being shot twice. investigators rushed him to the hospital.

"action news" reporter jeanette reyes has been following the deliberation and joins us live at the montgomery county courthouse. good morning, jeanette. >> reporter: good morning, matt. the jury should be arriving here within the next several hours to begin the 17th hour of deliberation but, you know, yesterday ended the same way it began with the jury asking a lot of questions and they seemed to be focusing in on bill cosby's decade old deposition testimony. tensions rose inside at the montgomery county courthouse any time parties were summoned. each time the jury had a question. >> what's the feeling in the room? >> it's calm. >> reporter: a total of four times the seemingly wary bill

cosby was led into courtroom a the jurors needed context from the 2005 deposition testimony. in it he admitted giving then mentee andrea constand a benadryl pill. the judge reread two different parts of the statement and most recently testimony from the detective who took constand's initial report. cosby's spokesperson took the opportunity to turn to the court of public opinion. he read aloud a statement from the woman who claims to be constand's former roommate. she says 44-year-old constand planned on lying about the 79-year-old sexually assaulting her to get money out of him. the judge called it hearsay inadmissible in court. >> there was a lot of false information from miss constand and the jurors have come back three, four times -- i think a total of three times asking questions so that's good. >> you do not try your case on the courtroom steps.

>> reporter: and cosby's attorneys say this is good news that the jury is asking questions or hoping that means that they'll find him not guilty but even if he is found not guilty his legal troubles are far from over. cosby is facing civil lawsuits from 10 women from around the country, three of them are for sexual battery. he denies any wrongdoing. if he's found guilty in this case, though, he does that possibly face the rest of his life behind bars. reporting live at the montgomery county courthouse in norristown, jeanette reyes channel6 "action news." matt. >> thanks, jeanette. the husband of new jersey radio host april kauffman who's murder five years ago remains unsolved is under arrest. police took dr. james kauffman into custody yesterday morning after a stand off with police and fbi agents. prosecutors say he pulled out a gun while being served with one of two search warrants. they add the warrants are not connected to his wife's 2012 murder. >> it is now 5:07 and sky6 is taking a live look here at old glory because today is flag
