Reporter the 78yearold pope had a hectic and tiring schedule. Hes just very sorry he cant greet every single bishop per n personally. Reporter it is clear this hope has a heart for children. One special needs child consistecount resist running to hug the pope outside the Vatican Embassy and so many young people got to embrace the holy father. He means love and mercy.

The barricades are up, fences are up, these guys behind me will be burning the midnight oil making sure they are ready for the popes visit tomorrow. Its expected to happen at 11 15 in this morning. Live in northwest, darcy spencer, news4. Music and pageantry and about 25,000 people looking on, pope francis performed the first ever canonization of a saint on u. S. Soil. The pope cannonized father Junipero Serra at the shrine of the immaculate conception. He said serra embodied the spread of catholicism. This latinos revere serra because of him playing the role of bringing religion to america and many say he forced conversion. The day after the mass, the pope met with native americans from california to talk about their concerns. Hes known as the pope of the people. That includes people he cant see.

One thing the pope will not address in front of Congress Tomorrow is this u. S. Embargo against cuba but the vatican deletion did discuss it with Vice President joe biden. The joint session of congress will convene at 10 00 tomorrow. At least one House Republican is boycotting the address and others have called on the pope not to speak about Climate Change and lawmakers told to limit their handshakes and side conversations with the pope as he enters the chamber. Nbc4 will host a special viewing of the popes address at congress. If you want to avoid the National Mall crowd we will have a jumbotron set up at dupont circle. That event is free and open to the public. Might be easier than bracing the crowds. The popes next stop is new york city. Hundreds of people have tickets to see the pope and some of the landmarks look different. A portion of central park is surrounded by a fence 8 feet high and he arrives around 5 00.

Sophie says her parents and others deserve reform because it will benefit the children of immigrants like her parents and the children are the hope of the future. Buried in all this news about the pope we learned the data breach at the office of Personnel Management is a lot bigger than the government first reported. Opm said the hackers have the fingerprints of 5. 5 million workers a huge leap from the initial estimate of a million. They believe it was part of an espionage operation run out of china and virginia mark warner is calling for lifetime Identity Theft protection for all the affected employees.

Officers pursued him across the creek and issuing commands to drop the crowbar. Reporter investigators say he raised it again this time closer to the officers and this time they fired. Reporter whats your reaction from it happening close to your house . Nervewracking. Reporter theyre trying to figure out why he was there and she doesnt know him. They will question him at the hospital. We cant address him to find out if he has ties to this area. Reporter shomari stone, news4. Tens of thousands of people hang on this forecast for tomorrow. Hard to top todays. Lets do it anyway. If you like today, you get a carbon copy tomorrow. It will be another cool morning and just like today it will warm rapidly. Current temperature 67 degrees, winds out of the north at 6 miles an hour. Take a look at the numbers around the rest of the area, 54 in frederick and 55 in gaithersburg. Its another cool night. Shut off the ac and open up this wind windows. Its that time of year. Tonight is the first night of fall. This is ground clouds here. Should have taken that off of here and there is a chance of rain to the south and high clouds streaming overhead right now. Look to the south, you can see moisture getting developed here and northeasterly wind continues to make its way from the atlantic. That system will try to move up here. Today, we have beautiful area of High Pressure and all that sunshine today. That area of High Pressure shifts a little to the north. Then we watch this area of low pressure move up, the storm providing rain to the carolinas. They could see 3, 4, 5 inches of rain. We do need to see some but if it came in here it would come in during the weekend. The question is how far north does this system get and how strong is it . Storm team 4 will be tracking this the next couple of days. I am leaning on the drier side of this. I dont think we will see a lot of rain. Towards richmond and Virginia Beach and cape hatteras, thi thinking of one last weekend down there, could be a very wet time to the south. Tomorrow, none of it. Another gorgeous day. 80 in d. C. 78 in manassas and 78 in winchester. Everybody in the 70s tomorrow. If you are heading to the capitol, in the mall, expecting close to 30,000 people as the pope will be there. 7 00 a. M. , 64 degrees, 72 by 9 00 a. M. And warming rapidly by 9 00 he comes out to greet everyone at 11 00, 75 degrees. Mild and great day. On the mall, a cool start but nice. Lunch for the adults and recess for the children. Looking good there, warm sunshine and the evening looking good. We have recess, too, dont we . Sure. 74 degrees on friday, saturday and sunday a 30 to 40 of shower activity but not all day rain. Were interested to see how close that system comes because we could see a line of clouds. Could be a little bit of dreary day moving through. Not looking too bad. Monday and tuesday, high temperatures upper 70s to low 80s. Something for everyone. Coming up, this game meant a lot to both teams. Tensions rise between nats and os. The centers for medicare and Medicaid Services recently asked patients to rate the quality of over 3,500 hospitals. Fewer than 10 received 5 stars. Among them was Cancer Treatment centers of america in philadelphia. Cancercenter. Com eastern. What can i make for you . How about one of our reuben sandwiches . Choose from tender corned beef or oven roasted turkey breast, topped with sauerkraut, melty swiss cheese and thousand island dressing. Enjoy one while theyre here subway. Eat fresh. When your ace is on the mound, it can be hard to pull him. It was tough for the manager. Nights like tonight im reminded of a quote from outfielder jayson werth. Werth said managing is a thankless job. They wont be sending the sk skipper Matt Williams a thank you club tonight. They blew another late lead. Nats down 21. Wilson ramos at the dish facing chris tillman. Good piece of hitting here. Michael a. Taylor being wave home from first on his horse. A relay throw, not in time. He is in. The game is tied at 2. Nats later go ahead on a sacked fly. Top of the seventh, Matt Scherzer having a pretty good night, gets jimmie brady strikeout looking. 98 miles an hour heat there. Scherzer had 12 ks tonight. His manager may have kept him in too long. 122nd pitch of the evening is knocked out of the park. Scherzer not happy about that, gives up four runs tonight. Machados 30th long ball of the year. Up 43. At the dish, some drama. Jonathan papelbon, that pitch is high and tight. Manny does not like it. Papelbon immediately tossed from the game. Players from both sides come out. Umpires did keep control. Nats lose this 43. Bryce harper after the game says he expects to be drilled tomorrow as payback. Stay tuned for that. Sports fans and people everywhere saddened by the loss of yogi berra. The great passed away at the age of 90, an allstar and 10 times series champed. He also managed yankees and mets and also known for famous yogiisms like it aint over until its over and my favorite, the future aint what it used to be. Redskins have a lot to build pon, solid defense and strong running game will be the formula for this team this season. If kirk cousins continues to make a few plays here and there they should be just fine. Lets not overlook the giants. Despite their record, new york has a good football team. They wont just lay down because theyre 02. If anything they feel their backs are against the wall and a do or die mindset in the locker room. We have to match their intensity. The giants could easily be 20, we know that and they know that and these games usually come to the final two minutes and every week you get a serious challenge and thursday night will be no different. Redskinsgiants tomorr we see pope francis zigzag around the district in a humble fiat. The district is crediting the holy father with helping close a few deals. One woman was on the fence about the fiat until now. She called me up this morning and said, hey, i think ive reconsidered my purchase of the fiat 500 r. I think id like to get one. Whats jeep going to think . When hes in the jeep mobile also a product of fiat chrysler. We love this. This Catholic School held their own little papal parade today. His own starring role with intimidating security guys. The group included preschool to eighth grade. 4yearold maxi milliano hernandez played the pope.
