jersey? >> i wish it was unique. this is emblematic of the crisis across the country. it is not every city but a lot of cities. is you have a city where you have a largely minority population. and you saw a lot of steep job losses there. and then you saw all of these foreclosures and now on top of that, you have massive gang violence. gang violence that's so bad in this town, the police said we shouldn't shoot on one of those streets. the question is in places like this, did the gang violence come first or the foreclosures? but one in ten home. one in ten home is in foreclosure. the people i talked to on the streets say they feel trapped. even if they're current on their mortgage, they're paying their tax, taking care of their property, they can't get out if they want to. that's a problem for the whole community. >>> the government has gone to banks and said we want to you refinance mortgages. help people so they can stay in their homes. at the same time they're telling the bangs to clean up the balance sheets and they want them financially stable. the banks are saying fine, dump these properties. fannie mae.

southern ohio, northern jersey, here's a tighter shot of what's happening in pennsylvania, some pretty good storms rolling through allentown. right now you're looking at new york city from brooklyn. you can see the clouds, the haze, the mess, and new york city, you are going to have unsettled weather really not only all day saturday but well into the rest of the weekend so really not a great day to hit the beach. not a great weekend if you're in the hamptons. mean whooi, look at this very, very warm weather. and the only triple-digit heat i p@n see is in south texas in >> over to you, bianna. >> all right, jackie. thank you. >>> well, dan, we always know there is a celebration when we're here together on the weekend show. there's also a big celebration this morning in london. the traditional trooping of the color, a display of british regimental might that doubles as a celebration of the queen's 85th birthday. taking part here is -- >> that is not a fascinating. >> that is not a fascinator. his wife is also part of the festivities and jeffrey kofman is there this morning. good morning to you, jeffrey. >> reporter: and good morning to you, bianna. in fact, take a lo

"what does the word pastoral mean?" the first line in the second verse says, "pastoral scene of the ga
