THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
[08:00:17] KRISTIE LU STOUT, HOST: I'm Kristie Lu Stout in Hong Kong. And welcome to News Stream.
Russia responds: a day after one of its war planes was shot down by Turkey, Russia plans to deploy anti-aircraft missiles to Syria.
Protests break out in Chicago after a video is released showing a police officer shooting a black teenager.
And Pope Francis is set to arrive in Kenya, kicking off a three- country visit to Africa.
It appears the Kremlin is making good on its promise that there are consequences for Turkey's downing of a Russian war plane. Russia defense
ministry plans to deploy anti-aircraft missiles to Syria near its air base on the Mediterranean coast.
Moscow also threatens to cancel major joint projects with Turkey. Now, the back and forth over the shooting down of the plane continued in
Turkey where the president levied fresh accusation of deceit against Moscow, but at the same time also spoke of easing tensions.

RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN, PRESIDENT OF TURKEY (through translator): We do not have any intention to escalate this matter. All we are caring for is
defending our security and law and rights of our brothers.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
LU STOUT: Now, we have received word about the fate of the second Russian pilot who was on board that bomber. A Syrian media report Russian
and Syrian special forces went in and rescued him.
Our senior international correspondent Matthew Chance is following all of this from Moscow. He joins us live. And Matthew, Russia is indeed
ramping up its response to the incident yesterday while succeeding in the rescue of one of its pilots. what's the latest?
MATTHEW CHANCE, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Yeah, that's right. It's been confirmed that the pilot, in fact the navigator, which is the
other person sitting in the cockpit of the airplane has been brought safely back to Russian air base at Latakia, according to Russian officials after a
12-hour special forces operation involving both Syrian and Russian military.
Also as part of the operation, there are images of this couple of Russian helicopters scouring the countryside trying to look for the pilots
early on shortly after they were shot down.
Rebels then brought those helicopters under fire. One of them was forced to land in a forced landing and one person on board, a Russian
infantryman, a marine was killed apparently. So, that's the second person that was killed in this plane downing incident in the search for the
survivors. But the good news is the navigator is now back in safe custody. He's going to be awarded Russia's highest medal of bravery, the Hero of
Russia medal, along with a couple of others who took part in this incident.
And of course there's a good deal of satisfaction and relief that he's now back in safe hands, but still a lot of anger about the fact that this
plane was shot down in the first place, Kristie.
LU STOUT: And Russia has warned of serious consequences to Turkey as a result of this downed warplane. And it is delivering on that threat both
economically and militarily. How so?
CHANCE: Yeah, that's right. I mean, there's a lot of public anger as well, we have to say, directed towards Turkey because of this. I mean,
within the past few hours the Turkish embassy here in Moscow has been the subject of quite a large protest. IT was pelted with eggs and rocks and
windows were broken. The police had to hold back the crowd as they chanted sort of murderers at the Turkish
diplomats inside.
But, yes, it's been followed by some official rebukes as well. Obviously, diplomatically, Sergey Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister
saying that Russia is not going to war with Turkey over this but obviously it's going to take reciprocal measures. All contacts diplomatically,
essentially, have been frozen. The Russian foreign minister called off his trip. He was going to go ahead today to Turkey to discuss Syria.
There's also military and economic ways in which there are going to be front, imports of chicken from Turkey have been essentially frozen at this
point or banned. The Russians are advising Russian tourists not to go to Turkey for holidays, for their vacations, which could have a big economic
impact on the tourism industry in Turkey as well.
And then there's the all important military dimension of the response. Russia has said that from now on, all of its bombing missions, which will
continue by the way, but all of them will be escorted by Russian fighters, giving them extra protection in the skies.
And in addition to that, Russia has announced it's deploying its S-400 missile system, its most sophisticated surface-to-air rockets into the
Syrian theater, which would essentially, once it's operational, give it control over the entire airspace over Syria.
And so it's a sort of major escalation in that sense.
[08:05:16] LU STOUT: Matthew Chance reporting live for us from Moscow, many thanks indeed for that inside analysis.
Now the French President Francois Hollande is meeting with world leaders this week hoping to build that grand coalition against ISIS. And
later today he is scheduled to hold talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Paris.
On Tuesday, he was in Washington where he met with U.S. President Barack Obama at the White House. And on Thursday, he is off to Moscow for
talks with the Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Now, Paris police say a second wave of terror attacks could have been just hours away when officers raided an apartment in the suburb of Saint-
Denis last week. Now, CNN's Martin Savidge reports on the latest developments in the investigation.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The authorities launching a new manhunt for a second suspect believed to be connected to
the Paris Friday 13 attacks. Police say Mohamed Abrini is the man who drove one of the cars used to deliver ISIS team members to their targets,
including the suicide bombers at the Paris stadium.
Abrini is captured on this security camera at a French gas station two days before the terrorist strike. He's pictured with Europe's other most
wanted man, Salah Abdeslam.
The search for Abdeslam expanded into northwestern Germany today after a tip from French investigators. But once again, police came up empty.
Back in France came new and frightening revelations -- according to Paris prosecutor, the suspected ring leader Abdelhamid Abaaoud is on the
verge of carrying out a second deadly assault, this time hitting a busy financial area.
FRANCOIS MOLINS, PARIS PROSECUTOR: The two terrorists, Abaaoud and a man found with him in the apartment, were planning an attack which
consisted of blowing themselves up Wednesday, November 18th or Thursday, November 19th in the business district of La Defense.
SAVIDGE: The plot was foiled, investigators say, when French authorities carried out this early morning raid in Saint-Denis last
Wednesday. It may explain why those inside the apartment appeared to be so well-armed and ready as authorities moved in. The resulting firefight
lasting an hour and nearly destroyed the building.
Abaaoud was killed in the assault. Police say his cell phone delivered a wealth of information including calls he's believed to have made to the
killers during the Friday 13th attacks, possibly directing them as they zeroed in on their targets. The phone also revealed Abaaoud's movements
that night indicating he may have returned to the scenes of massacre.
Nerves remain on edge in Paris. Several metro stations closed and there were several evacuations triggered by information authorities say
they've received.
In neighboring Belgium, the entire capital of Brussels we mains virtually shut down, as authorities fear they may be the next target of a
Paris-style attack. Hundreds of troops and police continue to control the city streets in numbers not seen since the Second World War.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
LU STOUT: And that was Martin Savidge reporting there.
Now meanwhile, in neighboring Belgium, schools are reopening in Brussels and some metro lines are running again after four days of lockdown
but the Belgian capital remain on high alert.
Now, in the U.S. city of Chicago, people took to the streets in protest after police released graphic dash cam video of the police shooting
of an African-American teenager.
Now, 17-year-old Laquan McDonald died after he was shot to death by a white police officer back in October of last year. A seven-minute video of
the shooting was only released late on Tuesday on the orders of a judge.
Now, Stephanie Elam is in Chicago. She joins me now. And Stephanie, I mean tension has been simmering there. Walk us through the reaction to
this just released video.
STEPHANIE ELAM, CNN CORRESPONDENT: And this is something people here wanted, Kristie, they wanted to see this video to see exactly what happened
and now that video is available for everyone in the world to see to make this judgment call for
yourself, was this an overreaction by this police officer?
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
ELAM: Demonstrators converged on Chicago streets by the hundreds, outraged over this graphic police dash cam video showing Laquan McDonald
being shot by a single officer 16 times in October of last year. The disturbing footage shows McDonald falling to the ground after being shot
then hit multiple times while on the ground.
SUPERINTENDENT GARY F. MCCARTHY, CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT: The officer in this case took a young man's life. And he's going to have
account for his actions.
ELAM: The 37-year-old officer, Jason Van Dyke, is charged with first- degree murder and has been taken off the Chicago police payroll. For now he's being held without bond. Van Dyke's lawyer says his client feared for
his life.
DANIEL HERBERT, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: It is truly not a murder case and we feel we are going to very successful in defending this case.
ELAM: On the night Laquan was fatally show, investigators say McDonald was wielding a knife with a three inch blade, which he allegedly used to
slash the tire of a police car. Police say when McDonald, who had PCPC in his system, ignored orders to drop the knife, Van Dyke fired 16 rounds.
[08:10:07] ANITA ALVAREZ, COOK COUNTY STATE'S ATTORNEY: Officer Van Dyke was on the scene for less than 30 second before he started shooting.
In addition to the fact that all evidence indicates he began shooting approximately six seconds after getting out of his vehicle.
ELAM: City officials have been prepping for mass demonstrations in the wake of the videos release, calling for peaceful protests.
RAHM EMANUEL, CHICAGO MAYOR: This opportunity for healing begins now.
ELAM: Late Tuesday, dozens locked arms in solidarity, blocking off an intersection and Interstate 94. Officers made some arrests, but tense
moments between the crowd and police never escalated out of control.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
ELAM: And it's worth pointing out for people who remember last year and the tense protests that we saw in Ferguson, Missouri. This was nothing
like that, a much calmer tone. And there's a couple of reasons for that, Kristie. For one, the officer has already been charged with first degree
murder. And he is in custody. And the city already settled with the family, paying them some $5 million back in April.
But there is one common thread that remains here for the protesters, and that is a call for a change. We've seen the relationship between
police officers and people of color, Kristie, here in the United States.
LU STOUT: And this is a case that people are watching all around the world. And one big question here, Stephanie, is why did it take police in
Chicago so long to release that video?
ELAM: Right, and that's something people wanted to know. What we do know it was a journalist request to get this video released. We know
officials are holding onto the video because it was part of an open investigation. And up until recently, Jason Van Dyke, the officer in
question here, was on the payroll. He no longer is at this point, but that is the reason why it took so long for the video to come out, more than a
year since this incident happened and the 17-year-old lost his life.
LU STOUT: CNN's Stephanie Elam reporting for us live in Chicago. Thank you very much indeed for that, Stephanie.
Now, you're watching News Stream. Still ahead on the program, Pope Francis is set to touch down very soon in Africa. We'll look at some of
the precautions being taken ahead of his visit in a live report from Nairobi.
And it is the windiest place on Earth, but offers more than just chapped lips. We'll introduce you to an Antarctic benefit you probably
never heard of.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
[08:15:04] LU STOUT: Now, Pope Francis is about to land in Nairobi in the next hour to kick off his trip to Africa. He'll be spending three days
in Kenya before moving to Uganda and then wrap up his visit in the capital of the Central African Republic.
Security has been tight as there is concern over the religious tensions simmering in the region. Now, Robyn Kriel is in Nairobi. And
Robyn, there's concern about religious tension there, but Kenya, also along with Uganda, is at war with al Shabaab.
And although Kenya did play host to President Obama earlier this year, how prepared is the country to make sure Pope Francis is safe?
ROBYN KRIEL, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, during Obama's visit, Kristie, the government asked Kenyans to stay away and to allow the
roads to be clear because of security issues like this.
But during this visit they are asking people to come in and welcome Pope Francis. So, it's going to be an issue of crowd control, obviously
issues with terror group al Shabaab. The Kenyan government and intelligence services have been working hard to try to disrupt any possible
planned terror attacks or anything like that.
But we are told that they've deployed 10,000 extra police officers and do they assure the Kenyan public that the pope and public will be safe.
LU STOUT: Pope Francis, he plans to go to the Central African Republic. What is on his agenda there? And why are many concerned about
that part of the trip?
KRIEL: Well, Kristie, the CAR trip we believe was nearly canceled after Paris told the Vatican security that they could not ensure the pope's
safety. However, we do know that UN peacekeepers have called in reinforcements to the CAR from their mission in Cote d'Ivoire.
We understand he's going to be visiting a mosque there. He's also going to be visiting a refugee camp too of his main themes.
But Catholicism is exploding, really, here on the continent, Kristie, up by more than 200 percent.
We visited a church where that was obvious. Here's that report.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
ROBYN KRIEL, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Bishop John Oballa Owaa is perhaps one of the Africa's busiest bishops. Today in one of the post-
remote regions of his Kenyan diocese, he will marry nine couples, perform at 65 confirmations and preach for close to five hours to this crowd, many
of whom have walked through the night to reach the church.
It's a striking mix of cultures from the most modern wedding practices to the most traditional, all with the upcoming journal economy of one very
important man in mind.
BISHOP JOHN OBALLA OWAA, CATHOLIC BISHOP: Both before the visit of the Holy Father and afterwards, there is quite an increase in the number of
people who wish to embrace Catholic faith. The increase of vocations to priesthood, to sisterhoods, to brotherhoods, went to, you know, very high
levels.
KRIEL: It's the shifting geography of the Vatican, Africa's Catholic population has more than doubled in the last 30 years. It's expected to
surpass that of Europe by 2050. Much of this is due to population growth.
(on camera): Just take a look at the makeup of this service as an example. There are a few rose of adults, but the majority of the people
here are children, hundreds of them. It's these stocked demographics that Pope Francis and the church will need to keep in mind going forward.
(voice-over): The church's commitment to reaching this site, a more than two hour drive from the closet town is where another one of Pope
Francis' key messages comes into play, urging the church to reach the outer peripheries as a method of evangelization.
OWAA: Getting to reach the people and smell, pastors must have the smell of the sheep. They must lead them there. They must reach them. They
must access them and they must be accessible.
KRIEL: For what this church may lack in accessibility, it surely makes up for in vibrant devotion.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
KRIEL: And Kristie, we spoke about the shifting geography of the Catholic Church that there are more and more cardinals being selected by
Pope Francis to become part of his synod, which eventually will go ahead and elect a pope in the future. So you'd just never know perhaps in the
next few years we could see an African pope in the Vatican.
LU STOUT: And as you report, given the demographics in Africa, this is a region absolutely critical to the future and future growth of the
church. Robyn Kriel reporting. Thank you.
You're watching News Stream. And still to come on the program, Elon Musk congratulates Jeff Bezos for his recent space achievements, but was he
being sincere? We'll read between the lines next.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
[08:24:00] LU STOUT: Coming to you live from Hong Kong, you're back watching News Stream. Now Amazon founder Jeff Bezos joined Twitter, and
he's already making waves, his first and only (inaudible) Blue Origin's successful vertical landing of a reusable rocket.
Now that's something SpaceX CEO Elon Musk had tried and failed to do for months. And the tweet, it sparked a passionate response from Elon Musk
who sent out a quick congratulations. And he followed up by claiming Blue Origin's accomplishment wasn't that rare. As he says, SpaceX already sent
a Grasshopper rocket that did six sub-orbital flights and is still in use.
Now the Blue Origin rocket, however, went much farther than the Grasshopper, and it did reach outer space.
And for the record, Bezos did not respond to any of Musk's tweets.
Now Antarctica is known for some of the harshest weather in the world and rightly so. But its blustery conditions do have benefits. Dan Corbett
braved the cold to visit the world's southern most wind farm.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
DAN CORBETT, ONE NEWS: Welcome to the windiest place on Earth. And when I say windiest, that's no exaggeration.
[08:25:08] UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Subject to the full force of the weather coming from the south pole.
CORBETT: For those who winter over here, it's an added complication.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Make for a really tough day at the office, you know, just trying to do your job outside.
CORBETT: But it's not all bad, those winds make it the best possible spot the southernmost wind farm in the world producing. It can produce 60
percent of the power needed to run Scott Base and the American of base of McMurdo just over the hill.
JOHNNA LEITCH, SCOTT BASE ENGINEERING SUPERVISOR: This wind far would be rated up there with some of the world's best with the wind it gets, sort
of a good, consistent wind.
CORBETT: Johnna is a veteran of the ice. He spent 3,000 days here, some of that time building the wind farm five years ago. His reward? This
ridge is now known as Johnna's Ridge.
LEITCH: Pretty amazing to think, you know, that you have got something in Antarctica named after yourself, you know, it's certainly a
great reward.
CORBETT: Well, the winds are blowing about 30 kilometers an hour. T he temperature is about minus 6. So, it makes it feel about minus 20, but
gets a whole lot worse than that.
So, you've experienced record breaking wind here?
SIMON SHELTON, SCOTT BASE PROJECT MANAGER: Yeah, this winter was particularly windy. We had gusts up to 107 knots. So it's just under 200
kilometers an hour.
CORBETT: The strongest winds recorded at Scott Base for three decades.
It's certainly a place of weather extremes.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
LU STOUT: Oh, Dan Corbett reporting, beautiful and powerful story there.
You're watching News Stream. Still to come on the program, we'll go live to Turkey bracing for a reaction and consequences from Moscow after a
Russian jet was shot down.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
[08:30:06] LU STOUT: I'm Kristie Lu Stout in Hong Kong. You're watching News Stream and these are your world headlines.
Now, Russia's defense ministry says it plans to deploy anti-aircraft missiles
to Syria after Turkish fighter jets took down one of its warplanes. Meanwhile, Syrian media report Russian and Syrian special forces went in
and rescued the second Russian pilot who was on board that bomber. He is said to be in good health.
Now, French authorities say they narrowly averted a second wave of terror attacks in Paris. Authorities say two suspects were plotting a
suicide bombing of the financial district when police raided the apartment where they were holed
up last week. Both men were killed in the raid in Saint-Denis.
And life in gradually returning to normal in Brussels. The Belgium capital is still on high alert, but schools have reopened and many metro
lines are running again.
Now protesters marched in Chicago on Tuesday night after a graphic dash cam video was released showing a white police officer shooting a black
teenager 16 times. 17-year-old Laquan McDonald was killed in the shooting in October of last year. And the officer has now been charged with first
degree murder.
Pope Francis is about to land in Kenya on his first trip to Africa. Now security has been tightened to prepare for the pope's arrival. Now,
Kenya has seen religious conflict over the last few years between Christians and Muslims and the pontiff is expected to address those
tensions and urge reconciliation.
The diplomatic row between Russia and Turkey is still tense as Moscow ramps up its response to the downing of one of its bombers by Turkish
fighter jets. And this just in, the Russian foreign minister says the downing of the Russian jet
by Turkey was a planned act.
Meanwhile the Turkish president accuses Moscow of deceit, but says his country has no intention of escalating the situation.
Now, Becky Anderson is in Istanbul. She joins us now. And Becky we've heard a more conciliatory tone from Erdogan today, but how is Turkey
explaining its actions, why it felt compelled to shoot down the plane?
BECKY ANDERSON, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Right, so we are learning
more details on the circumstances of this plane that was shot down on Tuesday. In a televised address, the Turkish prime minister has just said
this morning that two planes breached Turkish air space on Tuesday. One left and the other remained
despite repeated warnings, as many as ten they say. And in an act of self- defense, it was then shot down.
Now, that the jet was ever in Turkish air space is disputed by the Russians and don't forget it landed in Syria. The Turks say it had made an
incursion into Turkish air space.
President Putin has described the incident as a stab in the back and warned of serious consequences for relations between the two and accusing
Ankara of spreading radical Islam and supporting terrorism. His prime minister this morning, Wednesday, going so far to accuse certain Turkish
officials, and I quote Dmitry Medvedev here, of direct financial interests related to the import of oil produced at ISIS facilities, end quote.
So, the rhetoric still very fiery, even though you're absolutely right to point out that we have heard some more conciliatory words from Ankara
this morning.
LU STOUT: A lot fiery rhetoric from Russia. Russia has warned of serious
consequences. How is Turkey taking in that warning? Is it bracing for any economic retaliation?
ANDERSON: Well, I think it's important to point out that Russia is Turkey's second biggest trading partner and Russia -- Turkey, sorry,
depends on Russia for 60 percent of its natural gas.
Tourism from Russia to Turkey, very, very significant as well. And do remember, after the downing of the plane in Egypt, the Russian plane in
Egypt, Russian planes are now banned from flying into Egypt. The Russian prime minister
yesterday warned Russian tourists that Turkey was as dangerous as Egypt. They haven't gone so far as to actually preventing planes from flying in
here, but you can see that the idea of a racheting up in this rhetoric and a problem going forward so far as relations is concerned could have a huge
impact on Turkey's economy.
And we have again in this televised speech this morning, heard from the prime minister here saying that Russia is a friend and neighbor and
they don't want to in any way escalate what's going on.
Barack Obama has expressed U.S. and NATO support for Turkey's right to defend its sovereignty, once again emphasizing the importance of de-
escalating the situation. And for his part, President Erdogan himself has said he has no intention of escalating that matter.
And perhaps that's not surprising when you consider just how important Russia is to Turkey's economy, Kristie.
[08:35:14] LU STOUT: And the news just in to us from the Russian foreign minister saying that the Turkish downing of the war plane was
intentional, that it was a deliberate act. Any sign, any response from Ankara to those -- that very bold statement from Sergey Lavrov?
ANDERSON: It is a bold statement, isn't it? And no response as of yet. And what the Turks will say on this side is that these incursions
weren't the first and that they are fed up and they have been warning and the rules of military engagement, or the military rules of engagement dictate that if an
airplane, military jet incurs into your sovereign air space, you have every right to defend your air space from that jet.
And they say -- like I say, as many as four incidents since Russia started its campaign in Syria.
So again, we wait to find out whether there will be any official reaction from Ankara to the words of Sergey Lavrov. But you're right,
those are bold words. And if the Turks are looking to sort of make fairly conciliatory comments today, this Wednesday, it doesn't sound as if we're
seeing that from Russia.
LU STOUT: Becky Anderson, really appreciate your insight there. Becky Anderson reporting live from Istanbul for us. Thank you.
Now, officials in South Australia say two have died and there are reports of a third fatality from a major bush fire there. They say that a
number of towns north of Adelaide are still under threat from the blaze.
Now, aircraft are dropping water on the fire front in a bid to bring it all under control. Relief centers have been set up for people seeking
safety.
You're watching News Stream. And still ahead, these TV meteorologists they all have something in common, why the dress they are wearing has
become such a hot item in the weather world.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
LU STOUT: And now a burning question, in the TV weather world, I mean why are so many female forecasters wearing identical outfits on air? It's
as if they all reached into their closest and pulled out the exact same dress.
Well, our Jeanne Moos solves the mystery.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
JEANNE MOOS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: We forecast you'll be showered by female meteorologists wearing the same dress.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Clouds this afternoon.
MOOS: Shelby Hayes (ph) of KOCO, Oklahoma City, is one of more than 50 meteorologists.
SHELBY HAYS, KOCO: It's got some little fake pockets here with the zippers.
MOOS: Who bought the same $23 dress on Amazon.
HAYS: I have the blue one that I'm currently wearing and I have a pink one that is on the way.
MOOS: It turns out these women who do the weather belong to a Facebook group that exchange professional advice and that's how the perfect
inexpensive TV dress multiplied.
You know if there's a party and two women show up in the same dress, everyone is kind of mortified and whatever. This is not like that, right?
HAYS: It's not like that at all. We're such a tight knit group.
MOOS: The creator of this collage of all the identically dressed meteorologists is Jennifer Myers of Fox 4 in Dallas. Seen here wearing the
blue version. She has one in purple as well.
But every meteorologist knows which dress not to buy, the one in green, after all you wouldn't want to disappear into the green screen.
This is the fate of any forecaster caught wearing green.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I can do a headless forecast.
MOOS: Network meteorologists aren't all green with envy over the Amazon dress.
AL ROKER, ABC: Wow. My, gosh.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: So Ginger, where's yours?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: They don't come in maternity.
MOOS: The dress meets all TV requirements -- no prints, no lace, nothing reflective and at least in Oklahoma City...
HAYS: There's absolutely no cleavage, that cannot happen.
MOOS: But the dress is form fitting, so what to do with your mike pack?
HAYS: I'll hook my mike pack on the back of one boot.
MOOS: The dress reminds some of Star Trek.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: That's so funny, because we're all science geeks.
MOOS: Never mind the percentage chance of rain, the fashion outlook is for...
HAYS: 65 percent polyester.
MOOS: Jeanne Moos..
MOOS: ...the dress...
MOOS: ...CNN...
HAYS: The dress, it is very special.
MOOS: ...New York.
