before the break, the news media has been in london all week. it is is culminating in a long, tense wait this afternoon for the big moment. >> everyone is waiting for when william and kate and the baby make that appearance. >> john: small language point but i'm pretty sure the money shot was nine months ago and it's what got us all into this mess. this afternoon william and kate delivered into the world "it's a baby! "a baby! it looks just about like every other baby. so that's it. that is the big finish. if only it's a picture of someone else's baby that i don't care about, that is what facebook is for. we have full team coverage of the baby. first to samantha bee outside st. mary's hospital in london. sam, how is everything there? [ cheers and applause ] >> john, it is not good. okay. we spent nine months letting this story grow inside our network. and that was just a tiny hole in the schedule for it. an unnaturally tiny hole like trying to shove a watermelon through a bird house. but just when we thought we couldn't push this on to the schedu

for william and kate. what is happening, to what extent in london are people greatly anticipating this moment? >> well, the anticipation factor is really palpable. there's nothing more joyous to the country than a royal wedding that we had two years ago and a royal baby and almost ten days before the scheduled delivery of this child, be it a boy or a girl, the places have been marked out by all the camera, waiting outside st. mary's hospital. the linder wing is the priva clinic there where both william and harry were born. so of the betting shops are making a killing out of this with people saying what the names are going to be of the child and whether it's going to be a boy or a girl and that's very important now because the law of -- which had been in place for centuries has now changed, so it won't be the first born male. it will be the first born. so if that's a girl, she will be the future monoar ark after prince william. >> this is very exciting and historic. let's talk about the memorabilia that goe

. >> now nbc news chief justice correspondent, pete williams. pete, explain how well has clapper done with his apology and backing out of the quicksand. >> first we have to say what the hearing was. senator weiden asked does the nsa collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of americans and what mr. clapper said -- general clapper said was not on purpose. not intentionally. now in the letter clapper says in his head he was thinking about the internet program, the so-called section 705 program, which looks at overseas internet exchanges, e-mails and so forth, not the telephone program. after the hearing he says i realize i should have talked about the telephone program. he said he sent a letter to senator weiden and his staff but he couldn't make it public until all the revelations about the program. now he's saying -- 702 i should have said, not 705. he's decided to make this public now. that's his explanation. >> pete, senator widen revealed that his office sent in represe preparation the questions in advance so he kne

it is news the world has been waiting for for nine months now. palace officials announcing kate middleton has been admitted to st. mary's hospital and is in the early stages of labor. a royal baby is on the way, and we have it all covered for you right here. so, let's begin with jim maceda live outside the hospital in london. good morning, jim. we are all waiting for anxiously for this arrival. >> reporter: absolutely, betty. none more so than the press who -- some

william scranton was 96. >>> and we've lost a member of the nbc news family. herb kaplow has died. longtime viewers will remember his decades on the air. he covered the nuremburg trials, the cuban revolution, the civil rights movement, ten presidential elections. his career spanned from 1951 to 1994. herb kaplow was 86 years old. >>> another break for us. up next, the hitchcock thriller that came to life. a huge heist amid all those rich people in a beautiful spot. >>> finally tonight, it's not supposed to be this easy. in the movies it's one thing, but in real life it's something else, walking into a famous hotel during a jewelry show, brandishing a gun and then walking out with over $130 million in jewels? but it happened in the south of france, and now the search is on all over for some very expensive, very shiny things. our report tonight from nbc's stephanie gosk. >> reporter: the scene of the crime, the carlton hotel, was made famous by hitchcock's "to catch a thief." >> even in this light i can tell where your eyes are looking. >> reporter: now it's famous for a real life ca

>>> prince william says he has already changed his first diaper. he is standing next to his smiling wife katherine. the proud royal parents, listen, any parent has been through this. if this is your first child, you're scared out of your mind. they got the first glimpse of their son, the future king of england. royal watchers pointed out kate as dress was similar to diana's at the time of prince william's birth. the couple in high spirits, you could say, saying the entire experience of becoming new parents has been extremely emotional. >> he's got a good pair of lungs, that's for sure. he's a big boy. he's quite heavy. we're still working on a name. we'll have that out as soon as we can. >> pretty impressive. they re-emerge later in the day. william was able to lock the car seat into place. any father can tell you, i can't do it. i have my wife do it. maybe the range rover has extra components there. that was not an easy thing to do. the whole scene reminded us of an experience we've been through. you know, the first child driving home from the hos

because william himself has sided with, for example, a charity in lesotho with his brother, which assists children who have been physically maimed by war. he's also aligned himself with homeless people in london. and indeed has slept out overnight, sleeping rough under the arches by railway stations. so i think there is a sense in which william is the incarnation of what his mother started. >> and is that above politics but ultimately carries some political goal when you talk about a spending priority for the homeless or whatever your -- >> well of course, it's interesting, isn't it? because we in britain have a monarchy and yet it's distinctly separate from the functions of parliament. but obviously, the royal family brings a huge amount of attention to these issues. so for example, when diana cradled these babies that are suffering with aids, it suddenly raised such attention that those charities actually were able to start really raising serious sums of money. so i don't think this is, as it were, a superficial exercise by any means. >> all right. martin bashir, i suspect you may talk

. >>> the world has seen the future king of england, prince william and his wife kate showed off their newborn son outside st. mary's hospital in central london. here is the proud father. >> he's got a good pair of lungs on him for sure. he's a big boy, quite heavy. we're still working on a name, so we'll have that as soon as we can. first time we have seen him really, have a proper chance to catch up. >> no name yet. >>> another sexting scandal for anthony weiner. press conference just wrapped up. this time his wife is speaking out. we will bring that to you. >>> first, a live look from wfld, fox affiliate in chicago, the skyline there. the big story there, massachusetts governor deval patrick in town to settle a bet made with pat quinn on stanley cup finals by volunteering at a food bank. >>> and a wave warning issued for lake michigan, they expect waves ten feet and higher. doesn't look bad now. that's tonight's look outside the beltway from "special report." we will be right back. my mantra? always go the extra mile. to treat my low testosterone, i did my research. my doctor and i

i'm brian williams, we'll look back for you tomorrow evening. good night. have a happy fourth of july. >>> good evening, everyone, i'm jessica aguirre. >>> and i'm raj mathai. there has been an accident at a summer camp for kids. many parents are reunited with their kids. a tree fell killing a camp counsellor and injuring four other people. it's a bay area based jewish based retreat. >> reporter: what i can tell you is we haven't seen a flood of parents coming to pick up their kids. we see a few people who are staff members leaving the camp. what we cannot see from this vantage point is where the tree fell. but we could see just a few minutes ago 50 campers, kids and counsellors playing basketball out here. we're talking about 250 kids, third graders to ninth graders who are here. the good news, none of them were hurt. there are 150 staff members include this staff member who was killed. she was going into her senior year at uc santa cruz. she died at 8:30 this morning at a campfire circle. four other women were hurt and taken to area hospitals. two of them

the san jose arbitration union has lost its fight over benefits. the city says the decision will keep libraries open, but cops say the desis could mean an exodus of experienced officers. nbc bay area first broke the story last woke. what the city says, it still want does negotiate? >> reporter: that's right. the mayor told me the 10% raise is still on the table, but the union says it's not really 10%. today we spoke with a veteran officer who said he's had enough. the homicide investigation team has had its hands full in san jose. and in these crime scenes is where you'll find this dent. >> the phone rings at all times of the day. >> reporter: but he says he's not picked up the phone and asked other departments if they want to hire him. capping vacation payouts. and the arbitrator ruled they can't have back the 10% in salary they gave up two years ago to help the city balancity books. >> if it was an emotional decision for me i would stay. but it's not emotional. i would b

barber, president of the north carolina state conference of the naacp, who has been leading the moral monday protests, and representative larry hall, democratic leader in the north carolina house of representatives. thank you, all, for joining us. reverend, i want to begin with you. republicans of your state, the governor, governor mccrory, the republican leadership, right now if they're watching this broadcast, they're thinking to themselves, we got these bills signed, we pushed through our agenda. sure, we took hits in the press for us. sure, there are these people squawking on our lawn, but we win and they lose. why are they not right about that? >> they're on the wrong side of history. since we've been gathered these 13 moral mondays, less than one out of five north carolinians now agree with them. the numbers have plummeted. the government's numbers have plummeted. they have been labeled as immoral. they're not even republicans. these are not moderate republicans. they have attacked the sick. they've attacked women. they've attacked children. they've attacked the poor. they've at

other than the fact that they said he has lots of hair, and william says he has her lips. what did we miss? >> i didn't hear it all properly either. the one that i caught was he is a heavy boy. having followed william for some time, he was really, really pleased. kate looked really relaxed and completely natural. it was interesting to see how she came out with the baby in her arms, and william then took the baby from her and that would have been a choreographed move. it's not just his child or just her child, they are two very hands on parents. >> and max, how incredibly fitting for william and kate in that baby blue color, and the beautiful ring of her, all blue, all tied together for this moment. the royal baby making his first appearance. born around this time yesterday as you were live on our air, reporting the news. a healthy eight pound, six ounce boy. and we're seeing for the first time, this prince, saying hello to the world. now we wait because they go back inside, they grab the car seat, and then they hop back in and they're off to kensington palace. here they ar

kate is confident because she has the support of william, and he has the support of the royal family, who have learned from their mistakes. >> reporter: the duchess also has the advantage of age and maturity. she was nine years older than diana was on her wedding day. she's also five months older than william. diana was 13 years younger than prince charles. but despite their differences, the two women will inevitably continue to be compared, especially now. catherine and diana, both mothers to the future kings of england. randi kaye, cnn, new york. >> amazing to see it side by side like that. i want to explore it further with lana marks. thank you very much for being with us. you were a friend of the late princess diana. when you saw the royal couple today, what was your first reaction? >> my first reaction is how sad it was that diana wasn't here to share this wonderful, wonderful moment. she would have been so proud and overjoyed and befuddled. i know that she's here in spirit. >> she must -- as you said, she would be so extraordinarily proud about both -- how both of her sons have

but in this case, i think william has learned enormously from his mother in terms of her attempts to at least have some semblance of normality in his life. and i think the fact that they stayed with princess katherine's parents for a long period towards the end of the pregnancy. the fact that the parents were the first to come and not prince charles and the duchess of cornwall, is an indication, i think, that william and katherine are shaping their future around the stability and normality of the middleton family. he's clearly extremely fond of them. they spent christmas last year together with the middleton family. of course, christmas in the united kingdom is a huge royal occasion. normally spent at the queen's estate where the family then attends church on christmas day. of course, prince william and then kate were not -- sorry, princess katherine were not there. they were with her family. so i think you're seeing attempts both in terms of the media management, the team that they've put together, and the way they're conducting themselves to try and normalize as best they can the l

in other people's lives. >> will william continue to serve as he has? what is it, i'm not sure the branch of the military he's in. >> it's with the search and rescue team. that's a very good question, and i'm told through sources at the palace, that we're to expect an announcement in a few week's time, possibly at the end of the summer, a lot of speculation that he is going to stand down. a lot is happening to that division of the raf. it's being privatized. that's not making william redundant, but it's changing his team and his fleet, this is seen an opportune moment to step down. you also need to look at the duke of edinboro and his ailing health. the queen is 87 and in robust health, but certainly scaling back. on the public engagements. is it time for william to stand down? is he a prince or a pilot? a lot of people would say he's a prince, and now is the time to get on with princely duty. >> mark, a lot of people compared kate to diana, obviously. kate has become very much her own woman. >> well, i said from the start that it was very unfair to do

tina brown, we were talking about 31 years ago when william was born. so much has changed. this royal family has been through tumultuous times, three people in a marriage, on and on. the queen herself, i mean, taking a terrible fall from grace after diana's tragic death. yet today here we are 31 years later, it seems like diana's boys helped clean up the mess. >> they really have. it's an extraordinary kind of circle we've seen, as you said. it's remarkable in such a short time the whole thing has become rebranded again. there really was 15, 20 years there of marital mayhem, sleaze, listening into tapes, embarrassing revelations. all of the stuff was really, really cheesy for a long time. then as soon as william really kind of emerged into the public eye, you have this wholesome prince. his choice of kate middleton turns out to be absolutely impeccable. once again she does the perfect thing. there's a constitutional change we can now have a girl as a firstborn to be the monarch, nonetheless she does the traditional thing and gives us a prince, a king. lets face it, the quee

kate is confident because she has the support of william and she has the support of the royal family who have learned from the mistakes. >> reporter: the duchess of cambridge has the advantage of age and maturity. she was nine years older than dianna was on her wedding day. she's also five months older than william. dianna was 13 years younger than prince charles. but despite their differences, the two women will inevitably continue to be compared, especially now. kathryn and dianna both mothers to the future kings of england. randi kaye, cnn new york. >> amazing to see it side by side like that. i want to explore the parallels of it more with ilona marks. thanks for being with us. you were a friend of the late princess dianna. when you saw the royal couple today with their newborn baby, what was your first reaction? >> my first reaction is how sad dianna wasn't here to share the wonderful, wonderful moment, anderson. she would have been so proud and over joyed. i know that she's here in spirit. >> she must -- i mean, as you said, she would be so extraordinarily proud about how both

william has become a man who has shouldered this responsibility. >> we want to be as normal as possible. to a certain respect, we never will be normal. >> you may never be normal. i'm pretty normal. >> reporter: as normal as possible for a young man facing royal expectations. >> there's a great way of rising to what the monarchs in the past have done. they don't want to be the ones who let the side down. >> reporter: we've watched william grow up, fall in love and get married. serve his country. now he'll teach his son what he's learned, including how to live a public life. >> he will come up with a way of sating the press, and that huge thirst for knowledge about the childhood of this new prince, but also containing that privacy they've always done. >> reporter: he's a father now. it's a role william was born to play. keir simmons, nbc news, london. >>> that is our broadcast on this tuesday night. thank you for being here with us. i'm brian williams and we hope to see you right back here tomorrow evening. good night. >>> nbc bay area news starts now. >>> good tuesday evening, everyone.

now that william has a new baby, how does the line of succession run? after the new baby it's prince harry in line and then prince andrew next. and after him, his two daughters with sarah ferguson. they jumped ahead of uncle edward and of course aunt anne. by the way, eventually, after anne, all the way down in line, there are 30 other royals, all ready for the throne, ending with the queen's first cousin. >>> now i want to bring in patrick jephson, former chief of staff to princess diana, joins me now. it's great to have you here. all day long we've been looking back at this time capsule. to everyone saying it's strange to be born into a predetermined life in the year 2013, you say? >> well, it's strange if you are used to the lives of celebrities for example. there is this tendency to treat the royal family, particularly on occasions like this, as some kind of branch of the entertainment industry. it's not. this little baby is growing up to a life like no other. this is going to be a life of service, of duty, of sacrifice. >> this is the first half co

william made a joke that he already has more hair than he has. >> you saw his hand wiggling up. amazed that photographers got a photograph of his face. when charles and diana came out with william and harry, they were bundled up so well. official photographs will come probably two to three weeks from now. >> you see a hand poking out from there. is that a first attempt at the royal wave? >> if it was, he's had a little bit of practice. no wonder they look smitten. this baby is just beautiful. they really did look like such proud parents. yes, he got the royal wave in. this is clearly an accomplishment already. >> one day old and well on his way to being a monarch. thank you so much. we will come back to you in just a little bit. a lot to talk about on this story. >> when we come back, how will this baby's upbringing be different from his father's? we'll discuss life for the new parents coming up next. plus, who will some of the first visitors to kensington palace be now that the future king is home? we will go there live coming up. ♪ norfolk southern what's your function? ♪

the in-laws don't often play a -- but william has been keen making sure they're close to the middletons. just last christmas, they spent christmas with the middletons don't do that. royals are normally with the queens. the fact that they're the first grandparents there this morning to visit, the only living grandmother, so i think they'll stay closely nit. >> max, you have the unique perspective of big outside of the hospital. is max still out there? >> reporter: i am here. the middletons are about to come out and are going to speak to us. i will be lynched by the photographers if hype in their shot. >> we certainly don't want that. max, we'll check back in with you then and hope they come out and speak to the cameras. thank you so much. >>> victoria, thank you for offering your unique perspective. >>> here are some other stories were following this morning. al qaeda has reportedly taken responsibility for a late-night jailbreak at two prisons in iraq, one at abu ghraib. militants attacked with mortars and grenades while inmates set fires on the inside. 21 inmates and 8 guards were kill

has grown up in a castle or palace. she's sort of pretty normal really. >> kate brought william home to spend weekends with her parents in bucklebury. >> he loves going for dinner around the house and loves being part of something which is actually standard. >> and behind the walls of st. andrews, william could live like an ordinary student. >> i'd do my own shopping. i'd take away and rent videos, go to cinema, basically anything i wanted to really i can go to. >> i remember we walked out of the pub called ma bell's, which is where we went a lot. and we were quite drunk. and i think i saw a pellet gun on the floor, someone had discarded this sort of toy gun. so i picked it up and i start waving it around and he grabbed it out of my jacket pocket and he was like holding it in the air and suddenly, even in my drunk state i was like this is probably not a good idea. >> if william was wild, jules says kate was always in control. and by the spring of 2004, william was ready to introduce his girl friend to the world. >> if y

they could just stay at kensington palace or william has to be back in wales. he as search and rescue work to complete before september. they're going to take it one day at a time and figure out what's best for the family. >> we're looking at live pictures, we saw the official birth announcement signed by the medical staff travel from st. mary's hospital all the way down the road to buckingham palace, which was placed on top of this gilded easel. this was the moment where it was taken inside buckingham palace framed and then placed on this easel. it's a boy. if you're just joining us, the duchess of cambridge came birth to a baby boy just a few hours ago at 4:20 p.m. london time. he is 8 pound, 6 ounces. a lot of people were wondering who would be in the room. we have just learned that it was just the duke and duchess. back to you, victoria. you mentioned the paparazzi. it's been a tenuous relationship with the paparazzi. so many people will want to get pictures of this little baby boy. will they respect the royal family's wishes? >> they've respected the famil

though william has never claimed any of the credit. >> i would say i'm getting better cooking. kate would say i'm getting a lot worse. >> i didn't give you enough chance to practice. >> that's true. i get quite lazy about cooking, because when i come back from work it's the last thing i want to do. but when i was trying to impress kate, i was trying to cook these fancy meals and would catch it on fire. she would be sitting in the background trying to take control of the situation. i was quite glad she was there at the time. >> as her pregnancy progressed, kate readied the nursery and the new apartment. she also kept an ambitious work schedule. >> i remember being at the national portrait gallery, thinking she should be tucked up in bed. but she was in heels giving a speech and meeting people from the art room. >> to john haley, it's not unusual. it's just kate. >> you know, she's not catherine, she's kate. we know her as kate. she still comes in and she's just herself. >> and even in her hometown, the baby became a source of great speculation. >> we've got an actual charity whe

william has obviously become part of that family. but for many years he's been going there to their family home. he's said to be very integrated into that family and feels completely at home there. so i think it is only natural that they will want carol and michael -- kate and william will want carol and michael to be really involved in the upbringing of that child and that's one way that this future monarch will get a great sense of normality, being in a normal family home and that kind of environment which really is something that william had very little exposure to when he was a child. he was brought up at kensington palace as well but diana was from an aristocratic background, a broken home, not much love there. i think william's keen for his child to be exposed to, let's say, a normal family, mom, dad still together, still in love. that's the grandparents, i mean, carol and michael, and for their child to experience that which is something he didn't see himself. >> you know, jonathan, i don't think most people know were you born

. >> the french government has informed all of us that princess diana has died. >> a high-speed pursuit by the paparazzi and a fatal crash in a paris tunnel that killed princess diana, taking william's mother from him at the age of 15. >> he's at that quite difficult transition stage, an adolescent, a boy going into manhood and not to have his mother there, the person who he could always count on, who he absolutely adored i think is a loss that he will feel forever. >> after the very public funeral, william withdrew. and not long after the palace and the press forged an unspoken agreement, giving both william and harry space and privacy. the world got quick glimpses, though all carefully choreographed by the palace. so william grew up and quietly began dating. >> he began dating some of the more beautiful titled ladies. he tried an online romance with britney spears at one point that never really got off the ground. >> but playful young romances aside, william knew that finding a mate would be serious business. he'd have to find a woman willing to put up with the relentless scrutiny. an

hat's off ta william. but he has been reading a parenting manual apparently. he revealed he's changed. i will imagine there'll be bottles, he'll be learning how to sterile. he's sharing details with kate. >> you said he already learned to change a diaper? or he's learning how to do it? >> reporter: i think one of the questions was has he changed a nappy and he said he'd already done that. >> that's impressive. that's good for prince william. she looks beautiful. he looks handsome. the baby looks adorable. we're happy for all of them. no name, but an adorable baby boy. ladies, thanks so much. we're going to continue this coverage, obviously. the whole world is very, very excited. >>> up next, we're moving to a very different story. we heard earlier anthony weiner's wife stand by her man today as he acknowledged sexting even after he resigned from congress. we're going to take a look and compare it to hillary clinton's famous defense of her husband. geico's defensive driver,ke 13. good student and multi-policy discounts could save you hundreds of dollus. enginee

our justice correspondent pete williams has more on that part of the pushback. >> we simply can't have washington make the rules and we get stuck with the bill. >> 14 states and counting. >> is an unprecedented expansion. >> to have the individual mandate held unconstitutional. >> does trample the constitution. >> attorneys general from every part of the nation, nearly all of them republican, are challenging the health care law in court. >> so after a year of truly insane off the wall got to get congressmen escorted to their car politics on health care, the case went to the supreme court, the highest court in the land. you know what happened there? again, the republican effort to kill the law fell short. >> the bottom line here is the supreme court has upheld the health care case. it's a 5-4 decision, with chief justice roberts joining the courts' liberals in upholding it. >> okay. now were we done? health reform passed both houses of congress. president signed it. supreme court said it was constitutional. is it finally law and we can go forward and actually make the law happen? no. no

>> we know that prince william has taken the next few days off work. he's now back in london at his wife's side, giving some suggestion that he's bracing for a due date. we've only been given mid july's due badate but we all know pregnancy doesn't happen by the big. a survey says only 9% of british babies are born on the due date. but the media is taking its chances. it's a surprise to many people here how much interest there is around the world. all the u.s. networks are here. for one example, there have been some polish networks and one of the pundits here has been interviewed five times by five different polish networks. >> i didn't know there were five different polish networks. there are millions of americans fascinated with the royal family. there are also some of us that don't quite understand what the big deal is. can you explain what this is like for t average british citizen, how big a deal it is. >> well, i have say, a recent poll said more people were uninterested than interested in the royal baby. from my experience from working with cnn i

if william has a decent innings. we've got a feature in tomorrow's "newsweek" all about what will the monarchy look like in 2070. all these fantastic people to contribute their ideas of what the monarchy will be like. >> tom, i love your math. did you do it like elizabeth ii will last to 100 and charles will come in and make it to 95 and you've done it that way? is that how you've done it. >> yeah, they're a very long lived family. the queen mother lived till like she was 102. there's no reason why the queen shouldn't go till she's 100. she's got no intention of abdicating. once in awhile i call the palace when i'm having a slow news day and say to them, do you think the queen's going to abdicate anytime soon? they always say if i refer you to the queen's speech where she said she would dedicate her entire life to the service of the british people, the key words in that phrase are "entire life." she's not going anywhere, chris. >> okay, so, tom, while you've got the hot hand here, what do you tell a kid like the now

this will make them more protective seeing the way william has been over today. i think it is going to be as private as he can until he feels comfortable about all of this. >> thank you very much, to max foster, who put in a long day of labor himself. we talked about the spectacular, obsessed media coverage. yes, you are either one of those people who care a lot about this story. or say "what are they talking about all day?" we will have more on that in a moment. i want to bring in our royal commentators, spent her teen years at kensington palace. we are joined from london. great to see both of you. obviously the two who know the most about this. victoria, when people have a baby now you get an e-mail with a picture. you know, you might call the parents first. or whatever. that's not how this works right. queen elizabeth ii gets the news first and then who? >> and then it would have been the middletons, charles and camilla, the government ministers. there is a hierarchy of people that get to find out first. i think what was quite interesting, palace aides have be

william has taken the next few days off work. so that's the one bit of information we've managed to get today. but they're not going to tell us officially anything until she's inside and in labor. so i'm sure she's more focused on that rather than us. but we're very much focused on her. >> i was going to say something about this business of playing polo yesterday. shouldn't he be sitting on pins and needles, worrying, knitting, picking a name, any of those things, max? >> reporter: well, yeah. the nam issue is obviously up there. they say they don't know if it's a boy or a girl. so they've got a list of names apparently that they may go for either way. i think that's probably true because the easiest way of dealing with the question is it a boy or is it a girl is not knowing the answer, of course. so yeah, there is some debate. she actually went home to her mum's at the weekend. and from what we can tell she's either with her mum or with william at any one particular time. so depending on when she goes into labor she'll be coming

jimmy williams has argued in the past that the senate is one area where a little less trns parn si could be helpful. he was a senior adviser to dick durbin. also with us today is the president of america's united for change, brad woodhouse, who says is the compromise on nominations actually shows we need bigger filibuster reform. jimmy, straight to you. unpack what happened with those 98 senators in the room and why it matters. >> well, a, cameras weren't on. b, they had to sit down and talk to each other as opposed to at each other. remarkable how that works out. the last time they did this was during impeachment. what happened? the house on a party line vote for the most part impeached bill clinton. it went to the senate. they sat down in the old chamber and what happened? ted kennedy and others sat down and said, you know, guys, we got to save the country. we can't do this. fast forward to 2013, exactly the same thing happened. those men and those women sat in that chamber. here's the interesting thing, though, about what happened to that chamber. the majority of those democrats, whic

williams, that company has received no state grants, no board appointments, they've really -- they've received nothing. >> nothing? nothing except a launch party for the magic tobacco pill that's made by the ceo's company, a launch party held at the governor's mansion and hosted by the governor and the first lady. they still have the press release up on their website, bragging about how their product launch was being held at the virginia's governor mansion today. they got that. and they got the first lady of virginia touting the benefits of the magic tobacco pill at multiple events both inside virginia and outside virginia. traveling around the country helping tout the benefits of the company's product and they got a top level meeting with virginia state health officials for the magic tobacco pill company ceo. where he was able to pitch his idea of his magic pills benefits to the state. and they also got another meeting with the state secretary of health, a meeting with the cabinet secretary that was set up either by the governor's office directly or by the governor's wife. and that s

. >> there's one report that prince william has watched your program to prepare himself for parenthood. what's the most important thing you should take away from that. >> certainly about the importance of communication. i say always there's a -- and certainly that's what william and catherine did to the place of them being together, but now they're extending their love and family with their newborn and continuing in that communication, continuing to lynn to one another, to meet the needs of a newborn and enjoy. enjoy. we want this family rested. we want them to make sure that they're enjoying the moment, at the same time they have the support that's necessary for one another and the extended family, and enjoy. enjoy being in the moment. they're a very grounded couple, as you can see from that clip previously. they understand the importance of being able to connect, to keck with the public, and certainly that duty as royals, and they certainly do a marvelous job, and we all want to celebrate. i'm wearing my fitting royal blue, i'm very proud to be british and to see this moment in histo

prince william has six. what we might think, is this baby going to have six god parents, it's quite a lot of thank you letters and christmas cards to send. most people in the church of england have three god parents. will he have six or will he have three? certainly i think we're going to see prince harry as one of those godparents, the fun loving, exciting uncle he's going to be. also pippa middleton is going to be i think the godmother. who's going to be the third one? that's an interesting question. possibly james middleton. possibly peter phillips. these people are very vital to the little prince. they're supposed to be integral to his up bring ing. they're supposed to always be there for him. of course, let's remember, if this child was to come to the throne as a minor, william was to die before it reached the age of 18, harry would be the stand-in king. >> heaven forbid. hopefully none of that happens, right? kate williams, thank you. to your point that is a lot of thank you notes to be writing to all

i've also been told that prince william has been given the next few days off work, so he seems to be braced for the big moment as well. certainly the world's media are ready. if you look at the pack of journalists and camera men outside the hospital, every part of the world is represented here. all the u.s. networks, for example. even polish networks. five polish networks have been here recording pieces, building up to this part of the fairytale. a fairytale that started with a commoner meeting a prince, getting married, and then the next big step to the story is they have a baby. all we need now is the baby to appear on the steps behind me. max foster, cnn london. >>> happening now, protests, prayers, and pressure on the justice department to bring new charges against george zimmerman. this hour, the tough choice after the not guilty verdict. >>> plus, one of the zimmerman jurors makes plans to tell her story, but right now, there's enormous secrecy and fear surrounding those six women. >>> and we're awaiting the results of an autopsy and drug test on the "glee" star cory monteith a

in his honor, the dillon williams foundation has been set up in union city, indiana at pacesetter bank. >>> wesley snipes is set to be released after being convicted on tax charges. once he is out of the halfway house, he still has to complete a year of supervised probation. >>> check out this spectacular, but very accidental fireworks show. an indiana store goes up in flames, forcing firefighters to dodge explosions from all direction as they battled that blase. no one was in the store, thankfully when it caught fire. authorities are now investigating the cause. >>> there is no letup this morning in the outrage over the controversial "rolling stone" magazine cover. have you seen it? showing what critics denounce as a glamourized version of dzhokhar tsarnaev. but these are raw graphic photos, at the time of his capture back in april, hands up, bloodied face. that red dot you see from a sniper's rifle, laser sight glowing brightly there. jason carroll tells us who released the stunning photos, why, and the reaction. >> reporter: these new photos showing a much different picture of dzhok
