Foreigner. But he also pleased republicans when he expressed his concern of the state of the traditional family. Headed by a man and woman in marriage. From the relations are being called into question. On the basis of marriage and the family. I can only agree with the importance and above all the richness and the beauty of family life. [ applause ] after his speech, he went out on balcony, the capital balcony and waived to thousands that gathered on the lawn and the mall beyond and rather than having lunch with washingtons powerful, he spent the lunch hour with a group of washingtons homeless. Now lets go live to the wall street heldport. On marine one usually used by president obama. There is fiat one, with the papal flag and we now think that the pope has gotten into the car for the drive up to st. Patricks cathedral on fifth avenue, typically at this hour at the end of rush hour in manhattan that could take a long time but they cleared the grid for the pope and the drive should not take very long indeed. He will be leading evening prayers at historic st. Patricks cathedral. The focus is on new york city and that is where we join action news reporter, sara bloomquist. Sara st. Patricks cathedral and the unites nations tomorrow, an itinerary bee fitting a pope. That is right jim, a packed itinerary, one that requires unprecedented security measures here in manhattan. The pope is on his way to Saint Patrick cathedral. He will take part in an open motorcade. Earlier today we made our way around and got a taste of what is to come for philadelphia in terms of heavy security presence. Sanitation trucks blocked streets and miles of concrete barriers are in place and Manhole Covers are sealed and multiple agencies are monitoring activities all part of the largest security operation in new york city. All the streets are blocked off and security is at its highest pretty much. Not only is the pope in town, this is the 70 and anniversary of the u. N. General assembly that the pope will address tomorrow. Heads of state from 270 countries are expected to attend and 83 busy manhattan blocks will shut down, one advantage the events are happening in controlled settings. All the events here in new york, are ticketed eventses so we can screen everybody. That is a big help to us. Even with so much security life went on in new york, in the areas closest to st. Patricks where the pope will pray this evening, pedestrians could walk fairly close to the cathedral. That surprised these new jersey ladies not in town for the pope but for kelly and michael. We were able to walk maybe a half a block from saint pats, but other than that normal walking in the city. There was great excitement as new yorks faithful welcomed the pontiff. I am enjoying seeing the leader of my religion. Reporter now terrorism Officials Say there is no specific threat to the pope, however there is concern about the efforts and intentions from isis to the italian mafia, there are layers and layers of security seen and unseen and the nypd says its ready. Im sara bloomquist, channel 6 action news. Thank you sara. Philadelphia leaders gave an update today on the world meeting of families, mayor Michael Nutter says that so far so good. 18,000 delegates are enjoying the Catholic Fellowship and sights ahead of the visit. We return to the ben franklin parkway and the great stage serving as an alter and an entertainment venue, but for either one officials are in the final stages of preparing an immense operation, and live on scene today is david henry. Reporter we are outside of the cathedral basilica where the pope will give mass on sunday. These are over across 18th street and this is where the Security Check points will be and action news learned that Homeland Security is tracking the theft of a half dozen propane tanks in ben salem. They say its probably not a threat to the pope but one of 100 detail they have to take care of. Its scary too, but you no what . They are doing their job. Heavily armed police and federal agents are everywhere in center city. They are using this parking garage across from the cathedral for a staging area, this is intimidating for someone but others find areassuring. Police and federal agents are doing their best to head off danger. At 10 00 tonight the eight foot security fences will close the perimeter on the parkway and only residents and Business Owners will be allowed inside. Starting at 6 00 tomorrow morning they have to go through metal detectors and these concrete barriers will go into place forming the traffic zone. I have never seen anything like this before, you just dont know. How much is enough . I think this is plenty. Too much for many. But this unprecedenced shut down of a large part of the city is necessary in our post 9 11 world. Mark is a former high ranking secret service agent. Philadelphia is caution here and it may be inconvenience for some but considering the consequences they are making the right decisions. Those that are coming to see the pope, they feel they are safe. God is not going to let anything happen to us, he is here. And its a once in a lifetime opportunity for people. I think we need to not be afraid. Isnt that what the pope says, be not afraid.

We are stage left and the other is stage right, we broadcast from there earlier today. Pope francis is already inspiring friendship and love and good deeds, we stumbled upon and witnessed a special act of kindness today. Hector gonzales and his group made the journey from denver, colorado, where they live. But they were not able to get event tickets but then the random act of kindness in philadelphia. There you go, you can fight over them, but maybe some has more to give you. Barbara brown is the good samaritan, she is attending from boston. I was called upon to do it. How do you feel about the fact that you got tickets for the papal mass and the festival of families. I feel blessed we had no tickets and now we have four. They came so far and the pope has such a message for immigrants and its clear they were not born in the United States be the pope speaks spanish and so do they, i think they will get so much out of it. We are from guatemala and my friend here is from mexico. Welcome to philadelphia, we are happy to have you. Thank you, thank you. I suspect there will be many other Beautiful Moments like that in philadelphia this weekend, some on camera and some off camera. And we hope that after the popes visit his message will be a lasting one. I suspect you are right. Thank you nydia. A unique ceremony tack place in wallingford.

We have tremendous confidence in ryan if demarco cant go, well see how he is on saturday to make a determination keiko alonso ruled out because of knee sprain and jets could be out with star darrel revis and the eagles allowed a league low. And look out sam bradford. Obviously they have done a great job taking the ball away their first two games, its on all of our minds, i have to make smart decisions when i throw the football but then the ball carriers, they catch it, they have to do a great job knowing those guys are coming to pull it out. Referees have a tough thankless job, they either blow the call or get in the way but one team should be thanking the ref after a heads up play. Watch the ref, off the refs head over the uprights.

Needless to stay we are especially interested in this weekends accuweather forecast, how about a preview, its going to be cloudy and cooler and its a close call, stormtracker 6 live double scan showing you there is no rain out there today, in fact little in the form of clouds. There is high, thin wispy day and the first day of fall. Temperatures across the board, a very comfortable evening and philadelphia 77 and wilmington 77 and millville 75 and sea isle city, a sea breeze with winds from the northeast at 71 degrees, satellite 6 along with action radar showing High Pressure up to the north and that is what brought us a good amount of sunshine, however there is low pressure lurking to the south and that saw high, thin clouds our way and that low pressure could throw a Monkey Wrench into our weekend, we could see more in the way of high, thin clouds from the High Pressure, still a nice day at 4 00, 77 in philadelphia and temperatures no longer in the 80s, and its seasonably cool, as we head into saturday, looking nice for the papal speech for the festival of families along the parkway, temperatures in the mid70s, with breaks of sunshine. The question is on sunday, the High Pressure how high is it up to the north, if the High Pressure stays in control and well have a dry day and that low pressure stays to the south of our region, however if that High Pressure nudges farther to the east, that would allow low pressure to move to the north, giving it a 50 50 chance of light rain reaching philadelphia, however i do want to show you the latest computer models, the euro that is typically more reliable shows a dry day on friday, and the nam earlier today shows light rain, the earlier model. If this continues and the gfo goes lower well have a dry day on sunday but right now calling for a 50 chance ill keep you posted.
