this 3457b right here, alan henning, as many as others who have not met him is calling for the release of him. one year after the terror of kenya's westgate mall attack, we look back on how that country is coping. and later, tens of thousands around the world are rallying today to fight climate change. we'll meet one of those people and find out why he's inspired

to join the march. hello once again. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. you're watching cnn's special coverage. i'm natalie allen in atlanta. a week after isis fighters threatened to kill british aid worker alan henning, his wife and even thousands of imam's are sending a message. his wife says alan is a peaceful, selfless man who left his family and his job as a taxi driver in the u.k. to drive in a convoy in syria with his muslim colleagues and friends to help those most in need. when he was taken he was driving an ambulance full of food and water to be handed out to anyone in need. his purpose for being there was no more and no less. this was an act of sheer compassion. i cannot see how it could assist any cause to see a man like alan die. they have released a video calling for henning's immediate

release. >> alan henning is an aide worker, a humanitarian, a man who left behind his family to help the syrian people. his desire was simple, to do whatever he could do to help the people suffering under the cruel regime of bashar al assad. i say this to you so that you know this man is innocent. muslim and muslim alike, reliable, trustworthy individuals who will testify to this man's goodness and intentions in traveling to syria. >> cnn's karl penhall is joining us live from london. you've been working on this. you have more details about alan and his abduction. it's heartwarming to see so many people coming out trying to get isis to spare him. the question is, will it work? >> well, that is the big question, will it work. is isis actually listening to the message? that hasn't happened with isis

so far. the plight of henning is galvanizing the british community. he was the only nonmuslim on this convoy. the muslims that were on this convoy believe that they have a bond of trust so that they must bring him back and also because he was just a regular working class man. let's take a look and get to know him a little bit better. >> i've spoken to the family. >> is this the first time you've been away from them? >> yeah. it is hard. >> reporter: taxi driver alan henning on a mercy mission to syria. that was christmas day. >> you got some presents from other members of the convoy, didn't you? >> oh, yeah. exactly. i got a nice t-shirt, some aftershave and some chocolates and some biscuits. >> oh. >> they're all great lads. >> the father of two, henning, was the only nonmuslim on the

british aide convoy. the doctor and her family drove with him. >> he really wanted to make sure that he was counted as somebody that got out and did something, not just made a donation and sat in the comfort of their own home. >> members of the convey affection nately named him gadget. >> uncle gadget as my children called him, he traveled with us on several convoys, he has a love for all things that are technical. and he really was -- is the guy that fixes everything. >> here we go, five is through. we're behind it. >> the con "voi was taking ambulances to help syrians caught up in the war. henning donated his before being murdered by the syrian regime the week before. >> to save one means to say the

whole of man kind. it was a quote that alan was hoping to put on the side of the ambulance. >> reporter: at the turkey/syria border henning volunteered to cross over into the battle zone with a ten person advance party. they recorded their cautious progress greeting refugees as they went. moments after that was taken dr. shamila received a desperate call. >> we received a phone call about half an hour later. it was very distressed, distraught individual on the other end of the phone to say that gadget had been taken after armed gunmen had come in, masked armed gunmen had come in with the description of the group that were holding him and they had come in and they questioned everybody. they had asked everybody for their passports and their phones

and they had given the passports and phones back but they singled out gadget and they took him. this was something that we thought was just a temporary measure, that they were just going to -- with him being a nonmuslim and being visibly english, that they would just question him further and then they would let him go. >> but as isis and rebel factions clashed, this didn't happen. >> they just dropped a bomb not far away from us. as you can see, it's very, very close to us. >> the convoy's team fled back to the border. back in henning's hard scrabble hometown of england, well wishers have tied yellow ribbons to lamp posts and street signs. none of his workers at the mini

cab company nor any of the neighbors down his street are talking. all are hoping. now with isis threatening to execute henning there's a sense time is short. >> really difficult. i'm just dreading. we know that the deadline is coming up. we know that we've got, you know, a very small -- you know, time is running out. >> but nobody is giving up. >> i have a message for isis. in islam i would implore you and beg of you, please spare the life of this innocent man. he is not part of your struggle. he is not to blame for the actions of western government that you fight. >> reporter: i ask her how we should think of henning in his hour of need. >> just that smile and his concern and care for everyone

around him. i mean, he has an open heart. >> reporter: talking to friends of alan henning and also people who are related to some of the other hostages that have now been murdered by isis, interest's a growing sense that the british and u.s. governments have not been doing enough to get these hostages release the. over the week end 50 turkish nags fwlals handed over by isis and returned to turkey. a sign that some other governments are managing to talk to isis and cut some kind of deal. natalie. >> yes, we know isis holds a couple dozen other hostages as well. we certainly hope they all somehow can be returned home safely, including gadget. karl penhaul live for us. thank you. the u.n.'s refugee agency says as karl was referencing, an

estimated 60,000 syrian kurds were fleeing. isis has captured dozens of villages in northern syria in the last couple of days. turkey did open its border to refugees after livid yes showed how they were suffering. many show they were planning an assault on the kurd hitch town of kabani. in egypt, two people are dead in a blast. according to state media, it happened at a police checkpoint in the central part of the capital city. the victims, the report says, were a major general and a police con script. >> the white house is dealing with the aftermath of a second security incident just one day after someone got into the white house. the secret service says a driver failed to stop at the entrance saturday. the man eventually got out of

his car, they was then going to be charged with illegal entry. >> he's tried to enter the house from another gate. >> authorities say the man who bent it and made it into the building was armed. earlier it was said he was. he was carrying a knife with him when he got into the white house. many in washington, of course, questioning the secret service's response. cnn law enforcement analyst tom fuentes explains why they acted the way they did. >> certainly the white house people could have shot him dead long before he got to the door and used their judgment that it didn't look like an attack, it looked like a deranged person. so i think that the other concern would be if they start shooting at a running subject like that, the bullets would be

going, you know, into the tourists that are out on the sidewalk surrounding the white house. i think they used the right judgment, the right amount of restraint. >> the intruder is set to appear before a u.s. magistrate on monday. we'll have the latest on the search in the u.s. for a man suspected of murdering a state trooper when we come back. that search taking place in pennsylvania. also ahead, the terror attack that changed kenya. the first anniversary of the horrific westgate mall terrorist activity. we'll look back one year on in a moment. and whitens with 3x the stain lifting ingredient... ...for a smile that dazzles. only from crest 3d white.

political gridlock is apparently over in afghanistan. the presidential candidates have signed a unity agreement -- government agreement a short time ago. ghani will be named president in the deal which was reached saturday night. no word yesterday on what abdullah's role will be. the final results are expected to be announced later sunday. each man had accused the other of election fraud. we'll talk about the deal and what it means. how does afghanistan move forward, joining me by phone from kabul is a wall street journal reporter. thank you for joining us.

they signed this in the past hour. ghani will be the president. somehow abdullah abdullah will be involved. >> reporter: abdullah is supposed to become the chief executive, similar to a prime minister. the deal calls for constitutional reform. the other part of the agreement is that they will share among their teams the composition of the government. the key ministries and the key solution will be split. how will all of this work out is the big question because three months of squabbling to get to this point, it's anybody's guess how well they will govern

together. >> exactly. you wonder what are the chances for them and what are the challenges? certainly there are many security being one of them. what are the challenges that they need to address as they try to move forward with this new system of government? >> well, first of all, there's a challenge. how do you bond insurgents? obviously they'll have to come together. on the other hand there is another probably more dangerous development because the international community, the billions and billions of aid money that's flowing here are shrinking so they will have to find a way of jointly dealing with this, planning foreign commitment and trying to put the

economy in a shape. >> which is a very difficult task. >> we wish them well. the people of afghanistan deserve to see success in the area of governing. now to the story that we're following and a grim one year anniversary. a ceremony will take place later today in kenya to honor those killed in the westgate shopping center attack that erupted one year ago. 67 people were killed when militants from the somali based group al shabaab stormed the shopping center at around mid kay. westgate remains closed and still bears signs as you see of the horrific damage it suffered during the three-day siege. business, tourism have been affected. those that survive are still coming to terms with this. >> translator: the attack has affected our businesses and many

of us lost our jobs. we have learned how to avoid going to places where attacks could occur and many of us are just happy that we are still alive. >> we've heard a lot from the people that survived and they are carrying the scars and the fears. you were in london and we were all trying to figure out what was going on. we had no idea the horror inside the mall, that it would last as long as it did. and there are still so many unanswered questions and wounds that haven't healed because the investigation has been for the most part messed up. >> reporter: absolutely, natalie. there really is no sense that justice has been served. for a lot of the families of victims this isn't about seeing someone standing in the dark claiming responsibility, it is more about the government claiming responsibility.

accountability for the lapses. it was only on september 3rd that a parliamentary committee recommended -- september 3rd of this year that a parliamentary committee finally recommended that there needs to be a government commission could look into it and they could learn from this. a lot of our friends and colleagues and team in kenya, our producer is kenyan. she was one of the first on the scene. for a lot of them, this is about trying to come to terms, not only with the pain and loss. both are trying to come to terms in that. to this day people think twice before going to certain places. people think twice before they go to parts of nairobi. that can only be resolved when the government seems to be doing

their job. >> we know the united states killed the leader of al shabaab in a drone strike. the white house believed that would have a positive impact on this group's organization. that is yet to be seen. we know that also african union troops have been fighting al shabaab trying to push them back. what do we know about that fighting? >> the hope is with the death of shabani thwill be able to be co to terms. in somalia they want an opportunity for the african union to take advantage of the disarray post the death and push through they're quite close to

the death of al shabaab. but, again, that can only really results in dividend and the border region if the kenyan house can come to order. it's going to be very difficult for al shabaab to contain. there is a worry that the al shabaab fighters will flee across the border. that issue is radicalization. al shabaab, not just in somalia, there is a nation's home grown terror organization has links to al shabaab. how you dismantle that really will depend on what the government has learned from westgate. if you still haven't seen a commission of inquiry looking into government actions, then it's worrying basically, natalie, very worrying. >> and all the while westgate sits there like a tom that people have to pass by and see

every day. thank you so much. up next here, tropical storm fung-wong is causing havoc across asia. we'll let you know where it is now, where it's headed next and when it's just going to ease up. look at the flooding it's leaving behind. chocolate is my other favorite... oh yeah, and frosted! what's your most favorite of all? hmm...the kind i have with you. me too. righabreva can heal itcold sore, in as few as two and a half days when used at the first sign. without it, the virus spreads from cell to cell. abreva penetrates deep, and starts to work immediately to block the virus and protect healthy cells. you could heal your cold sore fast, as fast as two and a half days when used at the first sign. learn more at abreva.com mara: don't tough it out, knock it out fast.

ink from chase. so you can. and we're new to the pacific northwest. the rain, the mud -- babam! it's there. the outside comes in. it's kinda nasty so you start the towel-mop shuffle. where are you sun?! [ doorbell rings ] oh, wow, it's a swiffer wetjet. this puts my towel mopping to shame. whoa! ewww. sunshine is overrated, now we can get messy. [ laughs ]

okay. look at this. this is what tropical storm fung-wong is doing to parts of asia leaving a trail of destruction. this was the scene saturday in taiwan where authorities were on the scene of a bridge that collapsed from all the rain. the system battered parts of the philippines friday leaving at least seven dead, 200,000 evacuated. they're in temporary shelters. the hearty folks of taiwan are driving through the flood waters. >> it's interesting you noticed that because, yeah, that's one of the things in some parts of asia, natalie, people die from things falling on them in these tropical cyclones as opposed to the flooding here because they're outside. we tell people to remain indoors, but sometimes the warnings are not heeded there. unfortunately, yeah, the death toll continues to climb in the philippines from fung-wong and now it's over taiwan. rainfall tallies are unbelievable. we can squeeze out moisture.

95 kilometer per hour winds. it's not the most potent storm we've seen, but it's the rain. the rain will be getting taiwan. taipei still hasn't seen the heaviest of the rain. rainfall tallies, 140 millimeters. now we're getting into the ridiculous tallies. i've seen a couple of meters. 500 to 700 millimeters with a lot of rainfall. that will put you between 20 and 30 inches of rain that has already fallen. we're still raining on top of the region with the east wind coming in. there's the rainfall in the philippines, 200 to 500 millimeters that's fallen there. then the storm now is going to head out to the north. of course, the southern tip of taiwan has been getting hit. now taipei. once the storm heads to the north and you get into the west it will push the moisture on in.

then headed to china. we have a triple threat, philippines, taiwan, china. three areas getting hit with rainfall. it's one of those alerts, the typhoon loses the strength when it passes over land as it did over the philippines but the moisture is the big story. that's not going to be tapped out. we are going to continue to see very heavy rain, i think, even in the next 48 to 72 hours across portions of eastern china. specifically how much? well, as much as 150 millimeters of rainfall in wenzhou in the next 48 hours. then things will begin to let up in taiwan. a lot of rainfall here as you can see on our map. that is going to be a while before you get the waters to recede. it's being impacted in the philippines and taiwan as well. >> look at all of the rain. >> this model has predicted

upwards of a meter in some areas and we're getting close to that s so, indeed, dangerous stuff. tens of thousands of kurds are fleeing into turkey from syria. they're trying to escape isis with everything they can carry on their backs. we'll have a live report on the latest situation there coming up here. also, still looking for a self proclaimed survivalist. we'll have more on the search ahead here. also, you're looking at live pictures from albania. pope francis. he has gun saying public mass. we'll have more on his historic visit and his special message to this mainly muslim country. stay with us.

i'm natalie allen. you're watching cnn. here's the latest on our top stories. the wife of british aide worker alan henning sent a message to his isis captors pleading for her husband's release. barbara henning says her husband is a selfless man just trying to help people in need in syria. he was captured by isis militants there in december of last year. in another security incident at the white house, authorities arrested a driver who failed to stop at the entrance to the complex on saturday. he was charged with unlawful entry. on friday a man with a knife made it inside the white house after jumping the fence. pope francis message in albania where we are seeing livid yes now of the start of his mass. he wants everyone to try to get

along and he's taking that message today. this is his first message to the people and he's bringing a message of co-existence, albania being mostly muslim. as isis makes gains across syria and iraq, tens of thousands of people have been forced to flee. the un hcr now says an estimated 70,000 syrian kurds have crossed into turkey. this is just a sprinkling of them. a total of 70,000 just like this trying to escape the wrath of isis. for more on the growing refugee crisis, cnn's anna coran joins us live from irbil curd disstand region. it's just unbelievable the numbers, anna. the good news is that turkey has opened its border to them. >> reporter: yeah. about time, too.

un hcr, natalie, saying as you say 70,000 refugees have crossed in the past few days. they do see that that number is only going to grow. isis militants in northern syria are taking over more than 16 kurdish villages. they were fighting around the country of povani and the surrounding villages. this fighting is still ongoing between the kurdish militias and isis militants. they say they're not going to retreat otherwise it will be a short massacre. that is what they are calling this. certainly the kurdish president in iraq has described things unfolding as a catastrophe. he says that there's ethnic cleansing ongoing, that is

occurring and is barbaric. isis moving through these villages and obviously the locals just fleeing for their lives knowing what awaits them if they stay there. so you mentioned turkey opening its borders on friday. there were satellite trucks and tv trucks on the border capturing the wave of refugees heading towards the border that finally there was enough pressure for them to finally open the borders. mind you, in saying that, turkey has accepted over 8 o,000 sirian refugees since the civil war began in syria. that's more than 3 million syrian refugees have fled the country trying to seek safety. this is a humanitarian crisis that is unfolding. if the airstrikes do begin which

people are calling for the united states to conduct those airstrik airstrikes, they worry that there will be more people taking shelter and safety outside of the country, natalie. >> right. anyone's guess when those serious airstrikes will begin when the french begin their airstrikes? we'll wait and see what the next western response is to isis and certainly the people left in cobani, everyone hoping for their safety. they have to be terrified. anna coran live in irbile, iraq. thank you. >> cnn's fareed zakaria asked a former u.s. president, bill clinton, about the american strategy to try to wipe out isis and whether it will succeed. here's his response. >> i've got to ask you about isis. i saw you on the daley show saying you thought we had to

respond to the brutal executions of americans. i want to press you, isn't that what iesz sis wants? wouldn't the purpose of the execution -- to bait us? >> no. there's a difference and for example using targeted drones and airstrikes as we did against al qaeda effectively for years to try to take down their leadership and infrastructure and let them know they can't just decapitate people for the cheap thrill of the global media response and horrify people and get away with it and getting bogged down in the time of war they would like us to get bogged down in that would cost us a lot of lives and a lot of treasurer -- in1e6d bli lead to greater civilian categories which is why i think the president's strategy has a chance of succeeding, because the iraqi government is more inclusive that be it has been

since the fall of saddam hussein. and that seems to be awakening the leaders of the sunni tiebs that are fighting. we know the kurds and peshmerga are willing to fight. if we can help them and support them, i think the larger fight against isis can continue as it should, as a local struggle, for the freedom and liberty of the people. >> you can watch more of that interview with former u.s. president bill clinton on "fareed zakaria gps" sunday at 10:00 eastern in the united states and for our international viewers, you can see it at 7:00 p.m. in hong kong. sierra leone is on the final day of a three-day national lockout to help curb the spread of ebola. some 30,000 volunteers are going door to door. that's what it's come to, to

educate people on the lockdown. all health workers in sierra leone say the quarantine will help clear up this information. >> before they say this shouldn't have to continue. the ebola is real. ebola kills and therefore you take all, i mean, protective measures, you know, from the minister of health. we have to accept that and make sure we believe. the ebola is spreading because of denial. >> hopefully some of this information will help stop that denial, help people take precautions because since this outbreak began, more than 2600 have died. 5,000 reported case joos in

nigeria, an attack of the boko haram group has left dozens dead. boko haram killed individuals in nigeria. the militants were dressed in police or military un forms and fired rocket propelled grenades. as we mentioned, pope francis beginning his visit to albania and his mass has just started. coming up, we'll have more about his message to this mostly muslim country. also, demonstrators for the environment have a message for the world's government. the battle against climate change. we'll take that message to the streets of major cities, including new york today. more after this. like cheerios can help lower cholesterol. thank you!

some say town shipts why settling in as they were outside the make shift shelter at the volunteer fire country. they brought in more food in case their stay went on longer. >> the salvation army has been here. the red cross dropped off things. local businesses. wells fargo has given us a donation of $2,000 for all of our expenses. the local businesses have been phenomenal. >> the chief received news that the shelter in place order was lifted and people staying at the shelter could slowly return to their homes but they were only allowed out with a police escort. >> members of the volunteer fooir department say overtime the fire house will become less of a shelter, more of a command post for state police. troopers have started working inside the garages. >> reporter: the chief expects residents to return to their homes throughout the night as troopers reopen roads where they

searched. residents say they still won't sleep well but at least they'll be home. >> it's tough. it's rough, yeah. they just want to go home. >> people are allowed back into and out of their homes but authorities are still telling them to be extremely cautious, lock doors and windows and stay out of the woods as the search continues but, still, this is a step back to normalcy for folks who live here. stacy lang, news watch 16, monroe county. certainly letting you know when and if he is caught. a huge wild fire in northern california is unfortunately only getting bigger. firefighters spent saturday trying to clear out dry areas to try to deprive the king fire of its fuel. according to officials the wild fire has now subsumed just under 82,000 acres and it's only 10% contained. 37-year-old man has been arrested and accused of starting

the fire deliberately. this king fire, as we said, has grown so much recently. ivan cabrera is following developments. as you know, california is bone dry. my sister lives 60 miles from that fire and you can see all the smoke. >> sacramento? >> she's in sacramento, yeah. they had some rain earlier. yeah, what the firefighters are trying to do is prevent the fire out there. as natalie mentioned, the bone dry conditions. we'll get to the drought here in a second. here are the latest stats of what's going on here as far as the burnout. we're up to 82,000 with 12,000 residences at risk. obviously these numbers are going to continue to go up if we don't get more containment. yesterday we were at 10, today we're at 10, the day before we were at 5.

weather conditions have not helped all that much. let's go back to 2013 which is where we were here as far as the drought ended in california. nobody with an exceptional drought. that's the worst category. 90% drought. by the time we get into the fall and winter months, now we're getting more serious here with extreme conditions starting to blossom and getting to the exceptional drought. by june, no rain, no rain, no rain so we continue to get these areas now that have just gotten out of control. now what happens is because it's so dry, it's going to take a couple of seasons of at least normal rainfall to get things under control. we have had some rainfall across the region. there is lightning. that's not good. sacramento has thunderstorm activity here. we'll get in closer and show you some of the showers that have been moving through the area. in fact, right over the fires are moderate showers rolling through the overnight. if anything, at least that will provide us with a little bit

more humidity. the system is not sticking around. by 48 hours, there it is. we're back into the dry conditions that california is, well, at this point very familiar with. forecasts go for temperatures in the mid to upper 70s. we'll stay mostly clear by monday. through the afternoon when you get the clear conditions, you'll get those winds that begin to pick up anywhere from 20 in some of the ridges to as much as 25, 30 miles an hour. of course, that has been the issue. for the rest of the united states we'll take you east to the severe weather molg through the midwest. we have a low off the mid-atlantic. the rain is pushing from new york into boston. here's where the severe weather was yesterday. numerous reports coming in from hail and also mostly from wind reports out of the thunderstorms. behind this front it is turning dry and cool and that front pushing all the way down south into the southeast. it will be atlanta's first front with noticeably dryer

conditions, comfortable humidity into next week. new york 68, good stuff. >> all right. well, we talk about tough weather extremes. it's time to talk about climate change. thank you, ivan. across the world climate change protesters want to make sure this is a sunday to remember. organizers in new york say they expect more than 150,000 people to march as part of the global rally for the environment. thousands are already marching in melbourne demanding action from the australian government. look at that. which just abolished -- they abolished the carbon tax created by the previous administration to try to clean the air. in brazil, rio de janeiro iconic christ the redeemer statute was draped in light calling for a message for action against climate change. all of this was said to highlight the summit on climate that gets underway in new york. one person who will be

attending today's rally in new york is fisherman brent smith. he says what's happening to the planet is one of the biggest crises he's seen humanity face. he's been directly faced by it and wants to make sure the situation improves. here's his story. >> there's a sound an empty oyster makes. there it is. in the earth, climate change, growing food is more difficult. what we're seeing on the farm is more invasive species. we're seeing sea we hads coming in for example and blanketing our oyster beds. specifically for me it seems like more of my oysters are dying. so we were thinking it was going to be a slow lobster foil which would get worse and worse and none of us would notice until our kids faced the crisis 100 years for now. for my farm specifically,

climate change is here and now. this is not 100-year problem in the future. my farm was destroyed twice by hurricanes. hurricane irene and hurricane sandy came through. storm surges buried my entire crop. 80% dead. most of my gear washed out to sea. the flip side of climate change is that because i was destroyed i had to adapt. so, this is our oyster company, 3-d vertical farm. there's not much to see, which is a good thing, so it's all under water so low aesthetic impact. think of this as an underwater garden. the white buoys are the hurricane proof anchor systems and we have who are don't tall long lines. the kelp, scallops and muscles

are all floating vertically downward. we've done the estimates that a 30 acre farm could produce 1 to $1.5 million revenue through all its various revenue streams. this has the potential to be a major game changer as we can have climate change, but a blue/green economy. fisher men like me can be on the water running our own small businesses. people's relationship to climate change is just changing so, so fast. they want the oceans as the front edge of the climate change story. i think it was the canaries and the coal mines. >> so right now working on the boat, on the farm with my harvest. in a couple of days going to be

all right. you're seeing live pictures now from albania. people lining the streets and people gathered to hear the pope's mass and his message to this mostly muslim country.

he is bringing a message of co-existence to the people gathered there. he's in the capital. cnn's vatican analyst delia gallagher has a closer look at the pope's message for us and this one-day trip. she joins us now live from our rome bureau as we continue to look at the pictures of the crowd there, delia. let's talk about this important message he's bringing to this country and why albania is his first trip to a european country outside of italy. >> reporter: natalie, it's interesting the pope is saying mass in mother theresa square in the capital. it's called mother theresa square because she's one of the famous daughters of albania. we tend to think of her as indian because she spent so much time in india but she is born and came from albania. let me give you right away a couple of things which the pope has said to the albanian people this morning. he said he was praising the country for the peaceful

co-existence and collaboration that exists amongst followers of different relations. albania is a majority muslim country. 56% of albanians are muslim. 15% catholics and some 6% orthodox. they are all working together in the government for the good of their country. it is something which the pope wanted to highlight. he also said especially in these times where authentic religious spirit is being perverted and where religious differences are being distorted instrumentalized by extremist groups. let no one, the pope said, consider themselves to be the armor of god while planning and carrying out acts of violence and oppression. so a very strong message for terrorist groups by the pope today in albania. one of the reasons we said he wanted to go was to emphasize peaceful could existence amongst religions, not just in albania obviously. it's a message for the world.

another reason pope francis is in albania is because albania suffered years of communist oppression. it was an atheist state where churches and mosques were outlawed and many priests and religions were killed. on the main street of tirana there are poster size pictures of those martyrs and the pope wants to honor the memory of those people and encourage people in the rebirth for the last 25 years. they had the dictatorship right up until 1991. so in its rebirth of religious freedom, christianity. that's another reason why the pope chose albania. it is the first european country that the pope is visiting and an interesting choice that he's not going first to brittain or to france or to germany. and i think another part of the reason for that is the pope kind of general theme of reaching out to people on the fringes, of

remembering the less powerful, the less rich and so on. and this is one of the reasons why he's chosen albania. natalie? >> and as he speaks to the crowd there, we know there have been some certain issues about security of the pope because of a comment made about a visiting iraqi there in rome, but no special precautions were taken for his security there in albania and that's the way he wanted it. what can you tell us about that? >> reporter: security has been a big question. obviously it's been a question all over the world in the last few months, and it has also come to rome in the last week with some conflicting reports in the italian press about possible security threats. but the vatican is saying there is no concrete security threat and the pope will go on business as usual, both here at the vatican and in albania. natalie? >> all right. we hope he has a very successful and safe trip there. thank you, delia gallagher for

us live in rome. that concludes our special coverage. i'm natalie allen. "new day" is next for the united states. for everyone else, your top for everyone else, your top stories. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com
