Good day to you. In the u. S. State of texas an accident involving a hot air balloon appears to have taken 16 lives. Federal Authorities Say there are no survivors. If investigators confirm those deaths, it will be the worst hot air balloon disaster in United States history. The balloon went down on saturday in caldwell county. That is between austin, texas, and san antonio. Our ed lavandera tells us what may have been a major factor in that crash. Reporter it appears that investigators will be taking a very close look oo at the role that power lines in the area where this hot air balloon went down might have played in this tragedy. Two sources tell us, one a Law Enforcement force, another a county official, believe the hot air balloon collided with the power lines. It essentially killed the 16 people believed to be on board that hot air balloon. The exact cause is not clear. Its not clear what caused the hot air balloon to perhaps collide into these power lines, what exactly was going on on board when all of this happened. So that is something that investigators as they begin arriving on the scene and piecing together will be taking a very close look at. It could be some time before the National Transportation safety board, which is the Government Agency here in the United States that examines these types of accidents, it usually takes them weeks if not months to come out with an official ruling to what caused the accident. A witness on the ground described what she saw as that hot air balloon went down to the ground. I dont think any of them realized what was going on. We heard popping sounds and i didnt look in time to see the balloon go down, but the way it went up, i dont think any of them even had any idea what was going on. Reporter one other interesting note, a debate thats been going on between the National Transportation safety board and the federal aviation board here, the ntsb several years ago was calling for more regulation governing these hot air balloon companies. The faa pushed back. Its not clear if the regulations might have made a difference in texas. It is interesting to note that the debate about the regulations and the companies and how theyre controlled and governed has been a topic of debate here in the United States. Ed lavandera, cnn, dallas, texas. Americas choice 2016. Donald trump being slammed for his remarks against a father of a fallen muslim u. S. Soldier who spoke at the Democratic National convention. Izia cann gave a powerful speech. He denounced the candidate for proposing a ban on muslims after his own son died defending the United States. Kahn said trump had no idea of what sacrifice means. Have you ever been to Arlington Cemetery . Go look at the graves of brave patriots who died defending United States of america. Youll see all faiths, genders, and ethnicities. You have sacrificed nothing and no one saying that trump had sacrificed nothing and no one. Trump responding to the searing criticism saying id like to hear his wife Say Something suggesting she might not be allowed. He defended himself to abc news with the sacrifices hes made. How would you answer that . What sacrifices have you made . Ive worked very, very hard. Ive created tens of thousands of jobs. Those are sacrifices . Sure. I think theyre sacrifices. I think when i can employ thousands and thousands of people, take care of so many of them with their education. I was responsible for getting the vietnam veteran memorial built in Downtown Manhattan. I have raised millions of dollars in helping the vets. Trump also released this statement and i read, quote, while i feel deeply for the loss of the son, mr. Khan who has never met me has no right to stand in front of millions of people and claim i have never read the constitution and say many other inaccurate things. Trumps criticism has sparked widespread defense of the khan family. Former u. S. President called khans wife a gold star mother and democratic president ial candidate Hillary Clinton also slammed Donald Trumps remarks saying the republican has, quote, something missing. Donald trump is not a normal president ial candidate. Somebody who attacks everybody has something missing. He attacked the distinguished father of a soldier who sacrificed himself for his unit, captain khan. Hes attacked immigrants and women. Hes attacked people with disabilities. Its a long list, my friends. Speaking to the Washington Post khan said trumps statements are typical of a person with no soul. A live interview at 9 00 a. M. Eastern time, 2 00 p. M.

Like a little puppy the awardwinning geico app. Download it today. Welcome back to cnn newsroom. This just in here to the newsroom. Were following a situation in austin, texas. Police say that there is an active shooter situation that is happening at this hour in the citys downtown area. There are reports of multiple people wounded. One person dead. A female in her 30s. Authorities are urging people to stay away from downtown austin. To repeat that if youre watching this broadcast, stay away from downtown austin. We will bring you the very latest information as we get word from investigators here on cnn. Moving on to russia. It says it will open four additional humanitarian corridors outside of aleppo. Moscow says 169 people have used this existing corridor to leave the city under siege. Many say they dont trust syrian officials to protect them if they leave. The opposition says the Syrian Government is using the corridors as a military strategy to empty that city. Cnn is live following that story. Ian lee joining us from beirut, lebanon. Ian, great to have you with us. There are talks of more humanitarian corridors. What will that look like . Reporter well, that would mean a total of seven humanitarian corridors, george, coming out of aleppo for civilians to leave. Any fighter who wants to be granted amnesty according to the Syrian Government, they have a threemonth window to lay down their arms and surrender to the Syrian Government. As you said, 169 civilians have left as well as 69 fighters. Russia also saying that they will have 14 tons of humanitarian cargo waiting there to assist them. While we cant verify the status of these corridors and how many people are leaving i say this because sources inside aleppo contradict this. They say the humanitarian corridors sent havent been open. You have two conflicting narratives although we have seen on syrian state media people supposedly leaving from aleppo. The situation there, this humanitarian situation, how bad is it inside aleppo at this point . Reporter george, it grows more dire by the day talking to the sources inside the city. First they say that you just cant get any food. You go to the market, theres not any root vegetables or really any products there to buy and there also isnt any gasoline. One source says that ran out about five days ago. What makes this so crucial, too, is ambulances dont have any fuel to ferry people to hospita hospitals. Also hearing of shortages of supplies. There is a fear also, these hospitals run on generators. The diesel fuel that runs those generators is also critically low. During the best of times it was difficult to get supplies into the city, but now since its completely besieged, they say those supplies are dwindling and they are not getting anything new. The u. N. Has called for a 48 hour ceasefire so they can get humanitarian assistance inside the city, as well as people who want to leave, get them out, although we havent heard any word on that. Ian lee following the story live in beirut. Thank you for your reporting. Well stay in touch with you. A live look now at southern poland. This is where the pope is holding mass in celebration of world youth day. This will wrap up his fiveday visit there in poland largely centered around the International Gathering of young catholics which happens every couple of years. Delia gallagher live from krakow. What would you say has been the highlight of this trip . Reporter well, george, this has been a fiveday visit packed with events. The pope as the pope does on all of his trips and one of the highlights i think certainly has to be the popes message. Its been a message that despite evil, despite the fear of terrorism there is good in man and, in fact, it is precisely in times of difficulty, times of conflict that that good is called out of us. That was exemplified when he was in the concentration camp and he met with 25 polish folks. It was exemplified by the fact that 1. 6 Million People in the world scraped together their money, put on their backpacks and chose to come here to poland to pray with the pope, celebrate the simple acts of kindness. Hes told us lets see if the greening out is good or even great acts of world corridor. So certainly that message has been the main one and the one that these kids are going home with, george. The thing that just really struck me and i spoke with you about this as well the other day, but just that image of the pope walking through the gate at auschwitz. Just a very sobering image with all of the things happening around the world. How was that received . Reporter well, george, it was an interesting choice on the pope to go to the former german concentration camp and pray. Prayer for the pope being even more important than rebuking sitting on an accident in an abt of humility in the face of one of the great evils of our history. And that was something that he specifically said he wanted to do to place himself there in silence. Theres a new gesture. There are moments when silence is the most appropriate response. Afterwards, george, he did speak about the cruelty that occurred in auschwitz. He said it continues today in torture and in war but he said it wont have the last word. Theres a beautiful prayer vigil that they wont have the last word. A rousing kind of speech from pope francis for, as i say, 1. 6 million kids the organizers are telling us to come here to poland. George . Thank you so much for the reporting. Live for us. Thank you. Church services will be held across france sunday for the First Time Since a terror attack on a Catholic Church tuesday. Lets go live to alexandra field who joins us live in paris to tell us about the situation. Alexandra, muslims, Muslim Leaders are all encouraged to attend the mass. How significant is that . Reporter george, this is a tremendously significant moment and morning in france. This has been the country thats been the repeated target of terror attacks back to january of 2015 when you saw the rash of attacks happen. An 86yearold priest was killed in the name of isis. While you have investigators who are working to understand the people who are carrying out the attacks, Government Security is trying to beef up security, what youre seeing on the ground is an effort from people in religious roles. To make a demonstration of unity. We have seen in france this past week since the death of the pretekt police. Its to show the world the solidarity, brotherhood. You have the call from muslims to go to catholic masses to join in the religious Services Together and, conversely, youve also heard from catholic leaders who have said they will welcome muslim worshippers here. At notre dame it is an iconic cathedral in this country. Leaders from both countries are hoping the masses will turn out, they will share in a service this morning and will help to strengthen ties between the two communities as the country continues to struggle and grapple and reel from this recent spate of attacks, george. What a show of solidarity that will be there right into the heart of the city there at notre dame. What more can you also tell us about the investigation into the alleged terror plot that was uncovered that was targeting brussels . Reporter right. This is a problem that countries across europe are confronting right now. We know that brussels has been the target of an attack. Back in march the belgian authorities had been doing these ongoing Counter Terrorism opportunities actually since the area that was operating outside of brussels. Just over the weekend weve had continued Counter Terrorism efforts. Authorities said they raided eight different homes. No explosives were recovered, no weapons were arrested, initially they took two of the brothers on bail. Another man who is still being heard, it is not clear what this man is suspected of having plotted. At this point Authorities Say theres no suggestion that whatever plans were in the works were connected in any way to the attacks a the the airport or the metro station that happened back in october. Alexandra, no flavor. Thanks for voting for us. Authorities are concerned about four newly reported cases of the zika virus in that state, a popular holiday destination for many people. They are, rather, the first known cases of local transmission of the virus in the United States. Health officials think the four people were infected by mosquito advice. It originated in a one square mile area. New mothers in brazil are dealing with an unexpected consequence of the zika virus. They are beingion ioshunned. Arwa damon has this report for us. Reporter every day maria louisa plays her little princess, this song of gods love hes sure and every day she cries. Translator i get sad because of everything that has happened. Im not sad because of her. Im happy with her. Shes winterful. Reporter her husband left her a month after the baby was born with microcephaly. One relative even asked why she didnt abort. Her older sister, too young to really understand, sometimes calls her crazy. Translator my sister is not mad, shes a normal child like you. Reporter largely abandoned, the sister can support groups like this together. In the up Person Center the mothers of the socalled zika babies lean on each other. Translator when i had my child and knew she had microcephaly, i was like everybody mother. I thought i was the only one who was going through this. Reporter rosies daughter turned 9 months and like most days its going from one appointment to another. This bogs these mothers into an extended family. She feels her isolation most in public under the piercing stairs of strangers. People keep looking, whispering, look, that girl with the little head. She is constantly arguing back that her baby isnt diseased. Shes special. Most have experienced that same stigma. Their love for their little ones is unwavering, but they can only hope and pray that society evolves to accept their children not reject them. Arwa damon, brazil. Arwa, thank you. For the first time a team made up of refugees will compete for olympic glory. How theyll arrive in Rio De Janeiro ahead of the games. Welcome back to our viewers here in the United States and around the world, you are watching cnn newsroom. It is good to have you with us. Im George Howell. With the headlines we are following at this hour, in austin, texas, police say there is no longer an active situation unfolding in that citys downtown area. We do understand there are reports of multiple people wounded from the shooting. One person dead, a female in her 30s. Again, this is not an active situation. Earlier police were saying to avoid downtown austin, texas. Keep in mind that might be a good idea but investigators are on scene and both scenes are secure this according to austin police. Well bring you the very latest as we learn more on cnn. Also in the u. S. State of texas a hot air balloon is believed to have crashed carrying 16 people killing them saturday according to federal and local authorities. Two sources tell cnn that that balloon may have hit power lines and caught fire before coming down near austin, texas. Donald trumps criticism have caused outrage. Trump responded to the searing criticism by saying, id like to hear his wife Say Something, suggesting that she wasnt allowed to there on stage. Turkish officials have released 758 soldiers. They were detained after a failed military coupe. 231 soldiers are detained and 450 were detained earlier. A rally is going to take place in cologne. There was a recent coupe attempt that happened in the country. Theyre expected to hold Counter Terrorism. Fred, wheres the message . Reporter theyre trying to show their support for turkish president erdogan. This demonstration is set to be one thats very long. If you look at the stage thats set up behind me, george, the message is yes to democracy, no to the couturier. They want to show their owe s support not just for having supported the coupe but for some of the measures that were taking place and purges which have received international criticism. The Turkish Community here, a lot of them feel that turkey isnt getting the support that they expect from the germans. The determine Man Government feels they should be less critical. In part this is simply a show of support for the turkish government for erdogan, but this is in some ways a criticism not just of germany but the European Union and nato. Turnings are saying they would have expected more support. One of the things we always need to point out is that erdogan and the turkish government have massive support here in germany. Theres about 300 people who have shown up. About 60 of those by recent polls, all three tie the support for erdogan. Theyll bring the support on the streets to have a massive demonstration which will take the better part of the day. German authorities are concerned about safety and security. Theres a big Police Presence going on here as well, george. Talk about that, fred. You say authorities are concerned. Can you explain to the viewers around the world why they have those concerns. Reporter well, the reason is basically that erdogan, like at home. Is quite a controversial support here. You have a lot of counter demonstrations. One of the things about could he loan is is it has a sizeable turkish population and there have been issues between these two groups in the past. Its not clear whether the kurds are going to come out. There are four other counter demonstrations going on here as well. One of them by a right wing group that his older brother protested from the beginning. Then theres some lesser groups as well. There ace a big Police Presence. 8 water trucks. Authorities are not going to allow us to get down. Fred, thank you for your reporting. Well stay in touch as you continue to monitor those demonstrations.

Im here participating in the olympics and i participate with my brother about that. Striving to be together one day. Brazilian officials have worked to make the game supreme and sober.

An athlete is in the water and an accident has occurred. A helicopter is dispatched and life guards on jet skis are going to offer this session. They say there are 1,000 life guards on the ready. The games, we have about 100 people and 37 boats. Reporter from the air the pilot says below booking for people in death. The first days of the drill a person is drowning and needs to be air lifted. Two life guards drop from the helicopter near the victim. A net is dropped and the book is stayed in the debate. We dont go to there. First responders say the first thing they want to do is make sure the patient is breathing and the heart is stabilized. For part two of this drill, a person is drowning. A life guard jumps into the water and pulls them up and onto the rescue board on back of the jet ski. Just like olympians train for the games. These firefighters train to save lives. Rosa. Thank you.

Reporter acknowledging Hillary Clintons convention speech, all of them said clinton came off softer. I mute it human niezed her.

Why is she still avoiding and lying about so many issues .

Shes had ample opportunity to present that to us. Thats holding me back. This voter did like hear about clintons mother struggled as time for time. Taught her to be a fighter. Hoip youre still not ready for her. Clintons attempt to have unit at this and folks. So you dont believe her . No. Reporter so didnt her laundry list of experience.

I really wanted her to admit her wrongdoings and she would have had my vote.

Randi kaye, cnn, tampa, florida. Nida may be a Tropical Storm. Tropical storm strength over the philippines. Next week it will threaten hong kong as a typhoon. Carrie joins us at the weather center. Yes, we have a few days to go. This is kind of the cone of where we anticipate it will be going. The computer models have been pretty spot on with this particular system as it goes across the northern portions of the philippines which needs slow know fall. Monday evening into tuesday morning. Were looking at it increasing in intensity, a little better organized and perhaps as a minimal strength tie foot. Maybe it will stay at Tropical Storm strength, maybe it will move on either side of hong kong but right now for the seven or eight Million People who reside there in the very congested coastal area, its better to be prepared and think ahead as we go towards the beginning of the work week and what you might do should this escalate into typhoon intensity. Supporting winds of 100 right now its increased rather dramatically happen. It really has increased rather substantially over the last 24 hours. Northwest fairly quickly about 24 kilometers per hour. Looking a little more impressive even in the last few images of the inherent satellite imagery. The rainfall totals weve seen across the philippines, rather dramatic. Neither was just kind of languishing across the philippines, weve seen 2 and 3al map. Severe flooding. Take a look at this, there were cars floating down the street. This one in what was essentially canal. There was quite a bit of damage. No reports of injuries but plenty of high water rescues as you can imagine about four inches of rain. Some are saying about six. Between 100 and 150 millimeters of rainfall. This doesnt have anything to do with a fire. The family got out safely. Firefighters went to the rescue, this poor cat was resuscitated by the firefighter. This has gone viral on twitter as you can imagine. George. Karen, thank you so much.

Thank you for watching cnn. The worlds news leader. City under siege. Syrian Government Forces encircle aleppo while a number of civilians cue up to flee that city. Remembering a man of peace. A priest is killed by terrorists last week. And the tragedy of the zika virus now expands. We will bring you the story of mothers who have been abandoned by friends, by family as they attempt to raise babies affected by this virus. From cnn World Headquarters here in atlanta. Welcome to our viewers here and around the world, welcome. Im George Howell. Cnn newsroom starts right now. Welcome. In aleppo, syria, russians say 169 civilians have used new humanitarian corridors to leave a city under government siege. Many others say they dont trust syrian officials to trust them if they leave. The opposition says theyre using the corridors as a military strategy to empty the city. Cnn is following the story with ian lee. Ian, talk about the humanitarian corridors. There are talks for more. What will that look like . Reporter george, there have been three set up already. Four more will make seven. These are humanitarian corridors for civilians and fighters who want to lay down their arms and be given amnesty. Russian state media reporting that 169 civilians have already left, 69 fighters according to them have laid down their weapons. They have released a video showing people leaving this area. Although we cant independently verify this account, and i say that because talking to sources inside the city of aleppo, they say they have been to these humanitarian corridors. They say they havent been open. From what it appears like, there was no evidence that they had been open so you do have these two conflicting narratives. Russia also saying that people who do leave the city, they have 14 tons of humanitarian supplies waiting for them. Things that aleppo desperately needs. Ian, just how bad is that humanitarian situation inside aleppo right now . Sources are telling us, george, that when you go to a market, theres no food there. Theres no fruits, no vegetables, nothing to buy. Theres also no gas. That is crucial because not only can people drive around but ambulances cant drive around either. A doctor telling us they have no medical supplies or medical supplies are running low. Medicine is running low. Onetime use items are being sterilized and being used over and over again. Diesel fuel to run the generators at the hospital are running dangerously low. At normal times before the siege began it was difficult to get the supplies in. Now its completely impossible. So the u. N. Has said that they would like to see a 48 hour ceasefire from the fighting from both sides so that they can get this humanitarian assistance inside the city, also get people out if they want to get out. So far we havent heard any word from either side about that cease fire. Ian lee live for us. Thanks for the reporting. Well stay in touch with you. A 33yearold is suspected of planning a terror attack and participating in a terrorist organization. His brother was released without charges. They were arrested after house searches on friday. Church services will be held across france on sunday for the First Time Since a terror attack on a Catholic Church. Two men murdered an elderly priest by slashing his throat. Isis is behind this attack calling it, quote, cowardly assassination. Both terror suspects were shot dead by police. Following the story, cnns alexandra field joins us live from the french capitol. Muslim leaders are being encouraged to attend catholic mass. Talk to us about the significance of that there with the back drop of notre dame behind you. Reporter right. Thats happening all over the country, george. Its happening at notre dame cathedral, certainly one of the most significant, one of the most well known, one of the most recognizable cathedrals here in france. It is being transformed into a regular symbol of unity. Parisian catholics would come here on a sunday morning. Its visited by long lines and big crowds of tourists who want to take in some of the symbolism. This morning catholic leaders and Muslim Leaders are coming together and they are encouraging them to turn up here together as well. It is a show of solidarity, unity. Its in line with unity marches youre seeing happen in france this week. Not just a response to that attack in normandy where an 86yearold priest was killed but also a response to this steady stream of attacks that this country has been subject to since january of 2015. So you do have these religious groups trying to protect a different issue and leading people in a different direction. As they struggle to make sense of what has bloggplagued this cy and city in recent months. Alexandra, id like to ask you about this recent terror attack that was targeted in brussels . Reporter we know that eight different locations were searched. Two brothers were initially taken into custody and he has decided to release one brother and charge the other with ties to a terrorist organization. We also dont know where exactly the attack or whatever is being planned was meant to take place just somewhere in belgium, but authorities have been very closely trying to watch and trying to find people who could be connected to Terror Networks throughout belgium and specifically in brussels. Thats the result, of course, of the vicious and deadly attacks which unfolded in the city of brussels back in march when an airport was attacked and a metro station. They even perceived that attack, of course. We note that they accelerated after the attacks in paris where authorities were able to drive the back of my brussels came off. Operations in that country continue with the france president , hollande. Just this week even in germany youve got chancellor Angela Merkel saying she plans to boost security and Counter Terrorism efforts there as they are trying to recover. Alexandra field, thank you for being with us and thank you for the reporting. Americas choice 2016. Donald trump now being slammed for his remarks against the father of a fallen muslim u. S.

Reporter emotions were running high. Chanting, shut it down. Many in this crowd were out for blood. The pain of seeing young boys brutalized in detention cells cuts just as deep on the other side of the country. Putting them in small rooms with no Running Water for 24 hours a day in the middle of the Northern Territory and getting beat and stripped and tortured is certainly not the answer to any human being in this country. We should be ashamed and we all need to stand together whether you are aboriginal or not. Reporter these rallies one of several being held. The organizers want the governments to feel the full force.

Rescue workers are being told to go. Some streets are starting to cave in due to water. U. S. Weather officials described the scene as extremely dangerous. Well continue to monitor that, of course. From those scenes in baltimore, this looks pretty bad. It is terrible. This is really a developing story, although the people in maryland really knew all about this when the rain came down. It came down so swiftly it was shocking. Were starting to see some really very impressive pictures coming out of central maryland into baltimore, also to new jersey. These are just a few of the images. Primarily it was Baltimore City and probably even more extensive damage now coming out of elicott city. They declared a flood emergency. Now estimates are about four inches, 100 millimeters of rainfall. Could have been six inches, 150 millimeters of rainfall fell over a very short period of time and the because we have this essentially concrete and asphalt, it cant absorb into the grouped. It has been devastating across the region. We dont have any reports of any fatalities, nor reports of injuries. People have been out of their homes it has been such a desperate flood situation. The other possible storm is nida. We dont have confirmation on how that is pronounced. It is going to move into the northwest. Increasing in intensity, 120 kilometer winds now. It is expected to make a little shift more towards the west so a city of 7 or 8 Million People, hong kong, by about monday going into tuesday it looks like at least according to the computer models, that this could be at typhoon intensity and making landfall within this region. Why . Well, because as its moving across the philippines it has really been the monumental rain maker. Some areas reporting 2, 300 millimeters over the last couple of days but were looking at such substantial flooding. Its not really so much the wind although that is problematic but the rain produces the mud and the landslides. It pushes out into the upper waters. Probably regains some strength because of the interaction with land. It gets torn apart a little bit. Very impressive looking on the satellite imagery here over the last 12 hours or so. Moves over the open waters and becomes better organized. When it becomes better organized its going to increase in intensity. We think for this region across southeastern china, specifically in the vicinity of hong kong, be prepared. Now is the time. Since it looks like this is going to be the target zone. Either way, heavy surf, were watching. Back to you, george. Karen, people in hong kong, obviously they need to Pay Attention to the storms path. Id like to ask you about the situation in baltimore again. People are being told to stay put at this point, right, until officials tell us you need to move on, find other areas. Absolutely. You showed those images of the cars just streaming down the street after a certain amount of precipitation, cars will literally float. Some of these roads were like rivers. I dont know if we can put that video back up again, but very impressive. This happening just outside the nations capitol. This is in Baltimore City, ellicott city. Thats where ive seen the worst damage done to buildings, cars are reportedly safe. Wow. Thanks so much. Following weather on different parts of the world. A lot happening. Thank you.

Im George Howell. Known as soccer here in the United States, football is becoming much more popular in this country and the new York City Football Club is making a name for itself. On friday the team defeated the Colorado Rapids 51. Its only their Second Season in Major League Soccer, but theyre backed by a lot of cash and some big names. Our nick parker explains. There on the return run though legendary spanish striker David Villard taking care of business, the new York City Football Club. Built from scratch, the team only actually entered Major League Soccer last season and ambitions are high. There is a ton of money there and youre talking about an Ownership Group that is more than willing to spend. You have three designated players making over 17 million in aggregate. The new york team made a great move. Their name is city football group. On their roster are players from manchester city. The influence from city is clear from the pale blue kit, the attack in playing style, the hope is that synergy in branding will translate into success in the mls at a time when u. S. Consumer access to the English Premier League is growing. I believe its a complement. Im firmly a believer in this. As they grow up they are going to want to consume more and more soccer all the time any way they can. Right now there still isnt enough access to professional soccer. Reporter Building Support in the city is key for the new team. This event with star players and new yorks mayor, they announce a partnership to build 50 football pitches for children for new fields. It can get better. Reporter the latest tv rights is worth 19 million a year, triple what it was two years ago but still a long way short of the multi billion dollar price tag. The cross is turned in by frank lampard. Reporter big name signings will always get eye balls, but whats needed are home grown talent and more wages. Its certainly a long term play. The team is said to be in the redbud focused on building a profitable future. Nick parker, cnn, new york. Nick, thank you. Party time for one giant panda who turned 4 on saturday.
