Up next, a live report from havana where pope francis is spending his final day before he flies here to dc. Plus, topper tracking the weather for the pontiffs visit. When pope francis comes to town, one of the controversial topics hell have to discuss is Climate Change. The pope has called Climate Change a global problem with grave implications. He says countries need to cut Greenhouse Gases and people need to live simpler lives. When someone like the pope says this is important and youve got to take notice, most people will listen and perhaps understand a bit more if its something they should also be taking note of. A recent poll shows 45 of americans do not believe that people cause Climate Change and theres even been some backlash against the pope on this subject. Republican congressman paul gosser of arizona plans to boycott the popes address to congress. He said its ridiculous to promote what he calls questionable science as catholic truth.

Chris martinez is traveling with the pope. How have the people responded to the people there . Are they in the streets because they want to be . Are they excited to be there . Are they in the streets because fidel castro ordered them in to the streets . Right. Thats something weve seen before in other papal visits, for example, when Pope Benedict came to visit the island. We heard a lot of people at that point werent so excited. Very different story this time around. They are truly excited and enthusiastic about seeing this man and hearing what he has to say for a number of reasons including hes from latin america, he speaks their language. They feel they can really connect with this man. Also its no secret to them that pope francis has played a crucial pivotal role in helping to normalize relations between cuba and the u. S. Again. Theyve been very interested to see what he might have to say during his time here. Theyre also going to be closely watch ing as he heads to washington and the United States. We know everything there is pretty tightly controlled in cuba. There were reports that a couple people tried to give the pope something the other day and the guards were quick to wrestle those people to the ground. Can you see the accessibility the pope requires with the climate in the country . In that particular instance, thats a great example. People saw that happen. They saw people come toward the pope, wanting to give him fliers, and they were taken away. Because as you mentioned the information is so tightly controlled, we havent heard much about exactly what happened to those people, if they were charged with something. Beyond that though, the people have told us that they feel as though they have some accessibility to him. When you consider that weve had had two masses here in two days and the estimate is weve had over 300,000 people between those two masses, they feel as though they are getting access at least to hear what he has to say and that of course is very important. Another big deal for them here in cuba is theyve had wifi hotspots set up here. About 35 or so that were set up in july, the vatican setting some up as well during pope francis trip here. Theres been at least for a limited time a flow in and out of information. Particularly for the younger cubans, thats something thats greatly appreciated and theyre seizing on that while they can.

Its going to be very nice on wednesday and thursday. The clouds are going to hang tough tomorrow. I think well see maybe the sunset tomorrow. Lets start with a live look outside. Dreary day but weve had several weeks of dry weather. Actually kind of nice. 65. Winds out of the north northeast at 12. Temps are going to be at the 60s. Not looking at anything heavy. But bundle up. Temps are not going to go up any. On and off showers throughout the whole game. Heres the 1st alert doppler over the last hour. You can see kind of an increase in some of the yellows showing up. Everything pushing off from the southwest off to the north and east at about 16. Well zoom back in. Heaviest activity south of leesburg. Down toward hay market and over toward manassas as well. And in town, north of old town, theres pretty good showers and rain going on around 395, east of Tysons Corner and up toward silver spring. Maybe a little slow going tonight. No doubt about that going home. Weve got more rain around college park, the stadium, Howard University has little patches of moderate shower activity on top. Everything is moving again off to the north and east. Well zoom in a little bit toward nats park. Still some moderate showers and more showers back to the south. These showers toward Reagan National begin to move north eastward in to the nats ballpark. Its going to be a cold wet game. Bus stop temperatures 56 to 68. Kind of a cool start. Primary clouds tomorrow. Not so much shower activity. Trying to hint at showers lingering tomorrow morning. Ill readdress that tonight at 11 00. Mostly cloudy on tuesday. If were lucky well see the sunset. Looks pleasant for the pope. Temperatures around 80 with sunshine returning. Heres the futurecast. Still showers across the metro area. Upper 50s to low 60s downtown. By morning, by about 6 00, still light showers possibly with temperatures in the 50s. 56 in gaithersburg. 53 in manassas and those showers give way to clouds as we go through the midmorning temperatures in the 60s headed for about 75 on tuesday. Solid clouds through the morning no doubt about that. 72. And still mostly cloudy at 1 p. M. Wednesday, nice for the pope. Sunshine and 80. Upper 70s on thursday and still nice. After that we kind of go downhill. Upper 70s friday, saturday, sunday, near 80 on monday. Showers possible all those days.

Perhaps it burgundy and gold fans finally got to wake up today with a smile on their face as the team enjoys its first victory monday. That usually means a day off but not this week because they have a quick turnaround, after dumping st. Louis and improved to 11, skins are prepping for the giants thursday night. Frank hanrahan is out at redskins park with the latest on a team that people all of the sudden are feeling pretty good about. Everybody is saying wait a second, redskins pretty decent, ask when theyre running the football like they did against st. Louis on the ground over 100 yards rushing for matt jones, and that is the main ingredient for this Redskins Team moving forward. Kirk cousins was very effective throwing the football. Didnt have any bad turnovers but coach gruden knows for this team to be successful including thursday night against the new york football giants up in jersey, theyre going to have to be continuing to be successful running that football. Its never going to be easy but we have to stick to it. It does a couple things. Obviously it runs clock. Our linemen love it. It takes a little bit of pressure off the quarterback which is very, very important. Its been good for us. Its been a good recipe for us so far. And a couple notes to pass on out here at the park. David amerson was second round pick in 2014. The cornerback was released outright by the redskins. Hes no longer on the team to make room for Chris Culliver returning from suspension. Well have to watch out for riley. Linebacker hurt his calf. According to coach gruden he is daytoday. Hes probably going to be questionable for the giants game thursday. Thats the latest out here from a dreary redskins park. Smiles all around as the skins are 11. Amerson didnt play a snap yesterday, now been released. Just when we thought we caught a break from the quarterback drama, a new report out today by Bleacher Report says there is tension in the locker room. They dont speak and arent in the same room together. A continuation of a pattern that griffin doesnt get along with others in the building. Of course rg3 quick to twitter to try to quiet the rumors, saying when the hate dont work, they start telling lies. I guess celebrating that your team won with your teammates is isolating yourself. Finally tonight, check out this cool little trick play. They get the kickoff. Huddle up. Somebody has the ball. Nobody knows who has the ball. Opponents are so confused, runs it back for a touchdown. Cool little trick play there by some High Schoolers with imagination. Joe theismann, kirk cousins. If he can get up to that level. Youre like what does topper know . Thats what youre saying. Its two games. Lets see how it goes. Thats it for us. Cbs evening news is next. I agree. Stick with weather weather.
