>> that makes me a party to it. if i'm a party to it, then i'm a partaker in that sin and i don't want to be a partaker in that sin. >> her interview is coming up with scott pelley right after this newscast. pope francis at the garden. it's a one night only appearance and definitely a packed house. you are looking live at new york's madison square garden where the pope has just arrived to celebrate holy mass, 20,000 people there. >> they always do it big in new york. the pontiff made his way to the arena by way of central park traveling in his popemobile waving to thousands upon thousands of cheering new yorkers. the crowd at central park was so large it overwhelmed security. that's not good. earlier this afternoon pope francis visited with children at a catholic school in east harlem and he gave them some homework. translator: it is a simple request but very important. please don't forget to pray for me so that i can share with many people the joy of jesus. >> earlier today the pope addressed the united nations general assembly, then took part in a multi-religious service at new york's ground zero, the national september 11th memorial. kenneth craig joins us now live from new york and, kevin, 20,000 people inside madison square garden for tonight's mass, but it's those numbers trying to get into central park that were just voluminous. how are police handling the crowd? >> reporter: at this point they seem to be handling them very well. everything has gone according to plan. you have to remember that new york city police along with the secret service along with a number of different agencies have really spent weeks, if not months, preparing for this time in new york city. they have planned this down to the minute and as i said, everything really appears to have gone according to plan, 80,000 people in central park, 20,000 people in madison square garden right now. they have a lot on their hands. >> this mass tonight, how long is it supposed to last and are there some quintessential new york things that will be in the mass that gives it some new york flavor? >> reporter: well, what's really special about this mass and as i said 20,000 people will be in there, there's a lot of things and moments that came from the people and that's what francis really would want. the chair that he's sitting in, that wooden chair is made by immigrant day laborers, something that's very important to him. the people who are in that mass come from the parishes all around this area. they divided up those tickets among all of the different parishes. it depends on how big the church and parish was and that's how they distributed those tickets. so this is a very local, very special event tonight. >> special for those day laborers, too. we saw some of them getting a chance to meet the pope earlier, too. kenneth, enjoy the visit there in new york and good luck with all of the crowds. when you're not in front of the tv this weekend, you can keep track of the pope in philadelphia, his next leg of the trip, on our wusa9 app. coming up the national zoo's new panda cub gets a name. >> yes. also ahead are there any changes in store for the burgundy and gold after in so ugly loss to the new york giants?

>> yeah. i mean they should have believed me from the first point. there's dna evidence against him. there's three other girls with very similar stories about what happened to them and if you don't believe that, you're delusional. >> gardner was sentenced to 20 years in prison. coming up the first ladies of the u.s. and china reveal the name of the national zoo's new baby panda. >> but up next growing questions for hillary clinton as new tonight new questions are dogging democrat hillary clinton's campaign for president. it's all about those work- related e-mails she exchanged while secretary of state. clinton is on record saying she's handed over all of those e-mails, but the obama administration says it's discovered a chain of e-mails she failed to turn over, messages exchanged with former general david petraeus. officials say the e-mails deal with personnel matters and contain no classified material. throw in shade and slinging mud, republicans donald trump and marco rubio during a radio interview, rubio called trump touchy and insecure at a summit of conservative voters in new york. then trump called rubio a clown and baby. the audience booed. the trump/rubio back and forth has been heating up as rubio climbs in the polls. the republicans have held two presidential debate ahead of the iowa caucuses. the democrats have yet to hold one. their first debate is scheduled october 13th and some in the party including former maryland governor and current presidential candidate martin o'malley have accused democratic leaders of committing political malpractice. >> not a single member of the dnc was ever asked if they thought it was a good idea that we have only one debate in iowa, only one in new hampshire and that it be scheduled the saturday before christmas when as few people will watch it as possible. this was a cruddy way to run a party and i've said that very clearly. now it's up to party leaders to do something about it. >> thus far no traction in the polls for o'malley. catch the full interview on sunday at 8:30 right after our morning newscast. precious treasure, that's the naming of the new panda cub bei bei. >> bei bei, you know, like a bei bei. the first ladies of the united states and china revealed the name at the national zoo this morning and into sue was there for all the -- and surae chinn there was for all the excitement. >> i think it's a great name. i might name my kid that someday. >> i think it's cute. >> reporter: first lady michelle obama and the first lady of china revealed the baby panda cub's name at the national zoo this morning, bei bei. the cub weighs under 3-pound and is growing every day. he's -- 3 pounds and is growing every day. he's usually snuggling with his mom. the most of name was submitted by panda keepers -- the chosen name was submitted by panda keepers at a zoo in china. it means peaceful and calm. >> it's definitely cute it's attributed to bei bei. i think it's a cute little duo. >> reporter: bao bao and bei bei, two of the most complimentary names you could find in china. in fact, the chinese people often mix the two together for terms of endearment or something they hold precious like their own children. >> i've been waiting a long time to see them. word don't even start to explain. >> reporter: it's his first time seeing them and he approves of the name. >> pretty cute. >> reporter: at the national zoo surae chinn. >> bye, mr. panda. >> reporter: wusa9. >> you'll have to wait a few more months before you can see bei bei in person. he's expected to be on display early next year. always watching always tracking, wusa9's first alert weather, d.c.'s most accurate. >> we need a nickname for you. >> we have one. >> do we not?
