good morning. breaking news -- iran says it's ready to release one of the three american hikers jailed there for more than a year. but there's a condition. the latest on when she might be coming home. burning issue, on a day of remembrance, protests in the streets of new york not far from ground zero. how a somber of reflection turned political, fast. and are they setting a date? william, kate, and the olympics? reports from london this morning of what could be a very big summer for the royal family, today, sunday, september 12th, summer for the royal family, today, sunday, september 12th, 2010. captions paid for by nbc-universal television from nbc news, this is

"today" with lester holt and jenna wolfe. live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. and welcome to "today" on this sunday morning. i'm jen ya wolfe. >> i'm carl quint nel la. lester has the day off. another about face from iran on the fate of american hiker held on espionage charges more than a year. >> a senior iranian prosecutor says a $500,000 bail has been set for american sarah shourd for her conditional release. we're going to bring you the very latest on that story in a few minutes. >> then to san bruno, california, where investigators remain on the scene of thursday's deadly gas explosion. some news this morning the death toll has risen, as search crews continue to look for those missing and those unaccountable for. >> and then on a lighter note we're going to switch gears literally and talk milwaukee iron. it's been a staple in wisconsin for more than 100 years and now the iconic motorcycle machine

harley-davidson might be moving on amid a labor dispute. we'll find out if the city's iconic days are numbered. we'll talk about oprah's big farewell, her 25th and final season kicks off this week. the queen of daytime is promising a good-bye to remember. we'll take a look at what's made oprah so successful and get a sneak peek at what she has in store for fans, what have you been saying all morning? >> all morning. what's my favorite line? >> yes. >> you get a car, and you get a car! >> she might be saying that. >> guess who won't get a car by the time the show ends, we probably won't get a car. we will start with more on that developing story out of iran involving those detained american hikers. nbc's ali arouzi is in london. what's the latest? >> that's right. sarah shourd in another aboutface from iran said they're going to release her on $500,000 bail according to tehran's prosecutor abbas jafari dolatabadi. he said the conditions of her bail don't bar her from leaving

the country, her case still has to go to trial along with the other two americans still in custody in iran. it's not unusual for the iran n iranians to put this much bail on cases. we've had other iranian-americans that have been arrested in iran and given bail of 3, 4, $500,000, or they've had to leave the deeds to their homes with the prosecutor's office and if they don't come back to court, then they've lost all the money or the deeds to their homes. >> ali, while all the confusion? on friday the iranian said they would release the hiker and now the new announcement. why has this become a back and forth yords deal. >> the judiciary appeared to use the release to flex its muscles, which highlights the deep rift in iran ejen amongst the conservatives. on friday the foreign ministry announced plans for her to be released on saturday, with the result of ahmadinejad's personal

intervention and reflected his special viewpoint of this islamic republic of iran on the dignity of women. hours later the judiciary suddenly called off the whole release which was a very embarrassing rebuke to ahmadinejad. like i said, this really highlights these deep rifts and this struggle for the balance of power in iran right now. >> all right. nbc's ali arouzi, thank you very much. and now here's carl. >> jenna, thanks. as the nation remembers the september 11th attacks on saturday protesters took to the streets, tongurning the day's m from reflection to outrage. mike taibbi has the story. >> reporter: they are by now familiar remembrance. >> adam -- >> reporter: the pause of the moments when the planes struck and the towers fell. the bells, the reading of the names of those lost. >> james joseph carson, jr. >> christopher carston.

>> reporter: vice president joe biden was at new york's ground zero. >> a privilege. >> reporter: first lady michele obama and former first lady laura bush in shanksville, pennsylvania, and president obama at the pentagon. >> this is a day to remember, a day of reflection, and with god's grace, a day of unity and renewal. >> reporter: earlier, florida pastor terry jones, whose threat to burn korans by day's end might have overwhelmed any sense of unity and renewal said on the "today" show he was withdrawing that threat for good. >> we will definitely not burn the koran, no. >> reporter: but the day was not without other reminder beyond the diffused koran burning threat over the polar rised debate over islam, dueling protests one against the proposed islamic cultural center and mosque two and a half blocks from ground zero and the other sentiment fueling that opposition.

the two groups were not only separated by their views of islam and the cultural center but also by several blocks. a good thing because tensions around the issue are high and led to several near scuffles. while speakers among the mosque opponents attacked the force behind the proposed islamic cultural center as a terrorist sympathizer who predicts trouble if his plan is derailed. >> americans do not like to be threatened. >> reporter: if the alleged threat is only imagined and temperatures cool, whatever the fate of the islamic center, some say there might finally be a useful national conversation about islam. >> i did see a positive outcome. one is the conversation was never really had and i think it's been a long time coming. >> reporter: in the course of that conversation the best legacy of 9/11 is enhanced. >> it's a way to say to the world, we have never walked away from our democratic roots. >> reporter: roots that through our history has sent the bright light of hope to all that could see it. for "today," mike teyby, nbc

news, new york. president obama called for unity and appealed for religious tolerance on saturday, echoing a message he's been trying to convey all week. joining us with more david gregory, moderator of "meet the press." good morning. >> good morning. >> the president said in that speech in d.c. yesterday, he said, quote, we are not and never will be at war with islam. again, a message he's been trying to convey all week. what kind of impact is that going to have? >> well, i think it has a big impact. i think the president at the end of the week was able successfully to weigh into this controversy about this florida pastor, get him to stand down, the koran will not be burned, and what would have been, you know, a small group of hate mungers but nevertheless the fear was it could have wider international implications. i think it is striking nine years later, that our leaders are confronted with anti-muslim sentiment in the country as a primary legacy of 9/11, yes, the war on terror is still being fought in a robust way around the world, yet even the

president on friday made the point of saying it can not dominate america's foreign policy in the way it has over the past decade. >> david, reverend terry jones said yesterday on the show here, he will not burn korans not this weekend, not any time in the future, but has the damage already been done, both here and potentially abroad as well? >> i don't know that it has. i mean i think it's been, you know, a big story here and the issue of anti-muslim sentiment is one that as americans we have to confront, that our leadership has to confront, and we are doing that in a very, you know, at a very set of ways, both here and what's happening overseas. i think the real concern was the image that could have come from those threats of the burn butting of the holy koran. that's something the administration felt would have had a direct impact on our troops fighting in places like afghanistan. >> let's talk about what the white house's role is here. terry jones came here to potentially meet with the imam, as far as we know there has been no meeting that's been set as of yet. is it the white house's

responsibility to facilitate a meeting between the two at any point? >> i can't see any reason why there should be a meeting between the two. i think one doesn't have anything to do with the other. i mean, it can be sort of conflated neatly. i don't see why pastor jones has any sort of for rum or platform worthy of discussion. you know, he seems rather ignorant about what his complaints about islam are. i don't think that's where the discourse ought to be. if there's going to be discourse it would seem to me it would make sense it happens in new york, as a community that's dealing with what should go where and how that should move forward. i don't think the pastor has any role in that and i don't think the white house wants to broker anything. >> the country has been so focused on this issue and the mosque as well, the president's economic issue has been overlooked. the same thing this summer the economic message gets overlooked because of everything happening in the gulf right now. how much trouble is the president's domestic agenda in given the mid-terms are around the corner?

>> i think it's in significant trouble. it may be overshad dodd in terms of how much attention we're paying to it on the airwaves but i think the economy looms so large. look at that story in "the new york times" today about more and more families having to go into homeless shelters. poverty is real in this country. the effects of this recession and the housing crisis are real. it is affecting familying and it's not just the poor that we think about or don't think about on a daily basis who are part of a permanent underclass. it is what's happening to people who just simply can't hang on anymore, can't hang on to their jobs and can't make the mortgage. as a political reality and an economic reality, they are stark for the president and it's something he's going to have to confront every day or there's going to be a change in power in washington because americans want some different answers, even if there are limits to what the federal government can do. >> i want to switch gears real quick here david, white house chief of staff rahm emanuel is polling voters to see if a run could be for his future.

what kind of impact could that have on the white house if he did leave? >> he's preparing to leave and would probably leave some time after the mid-term, early next year or by next spring. everyone knows he wants to be mayor of chicago. i've spoken to senior democrats in chicago who say it's not a slam dunk for rahm emanuel, he may in some ways be hurt by his washington status as he's gone farther away from chicago. nevertheless he'll test those waters. i think he has the president's blessing. i think the white house will go through changes anyway after the mid-term election and i think that, you know, the chief of staff leaving was something that would not be unforeseen in any event. >> david gregory, as always, thank you. >> thanks. want to get a check of the rest of the morning's headlines from lynn berry at the news desk. good morning, lynn. >> good morning, carl and jenna and all of you. we begin with secretary of state hillary clinton, set to resume middle east peace talks this week. clinton will head to egypt for the tuesday talks, saying this may be the last chance for peace between the israelis and palestinians. the most immediate obstacle for

negotiators is a palestinian demand that israel extend a moratorium on new housing in the west bank. and now to chile where there has been a setback in the massive effort to rescue 33 miners trapped. a huge drill head broke off inside the mountain. a third more powerful drill is on its way, but it could be ten days before work resumes. there is good news for the men, they're now allowed to smoke since ventilation has improved. back in the u.s., arizona health officials say six people have died from the west nile virus. more than 80 human cases have been confirmed. most of the people who died were over 60 years old. at the u.s. open, belgium's kim clijsters wins her second consecutive title saturday beating vera zvonareva in under an hour and in the men's semis, a shocker as serbia's know jack djokovic upset roger federer. that was an incredible match. he's going to face raphael nadal

in today's final. pete rose makes a return to the diamond. rose was honored saturday, 25 years after he broke ty cobb's all-time hit record. major league baseball gave the cincinnati reds permission to honor rose before the game because as you know, the team had to get permission because rose has been banned from the game for betting on baseball. of course, the fans didn't miss a beat. standing ovation there for rose. that's the news. back to jenna, carl and scott. >> can i just go back to the chilean miners one second, don't you think if you're trapped that far underground and you're a month or so away from -- a month or so away, maybe that's a good time to quit smoking? don't you think at some point, this might be my way of -- no, now they're allowed to smoke again. wow. there we go. lynn, thank you very much. >> let's get a check of the weather from scott williams, who's here with us. good morning, scott. >> good morning, carl and jenna. as we take a look across the nation we are finding some showers moving into parts of the northeast here, so cloudy,

occasional rain moving into the major cities as we track that frontal boundary, but elsewhere just a nice, quiet fall day. as we move into the open waters of the atlant, watching ala hurricane, hurricane igor right now about 1230 miles east of the northern leeward islands. maximum sustained winds at 80 miles per hour right now, moving to the west very rapidly at about 18 miles per hour. definitely one to watch as we move into the upcoming week. expected to become a major hurricane earlier in the week. in the meantime high temperatures for you, washington, d.c., 73 degrees, morning showers ending. 80 for you in chicago and temperatures in the 90s in south texas. that's a look pg&e. a good sunday morning, i'm craig herrera. hope you're having a great weekend. yesterday we had 90s, and today we're in the upper 80s so similar to yesterday. bayside and inland. closer to the coast, a whole different story. a lot cooler, plenty of fog this morning. we'll stay there for most of the afternoon. through the remainder of the week, o yeah, feeling like fall

privacy. what this will do, obviously the queen and the powers over here, realizing the whole world will be watching in 2012, and it's a perfect opportunity to bring all the attention on london and the uk. >> obviously a lot of rumors swirling about the two of them. they've been together for eight years, they've already split up twice. is there any feeling, the approval apparently goes straight to the top, right? we think the queen has signed off on this? >> well, my sources close to the queen and the reality is the queen understands that there's a difference between being your personal life and your private -- your public life and prince william one day will be king and things have to be dovetailed. this is a perfect opportunity for everyone to be looking at the uk, a royal wedding will get the whole world watching us and also it will focus on not only the olympics but the diamond jubilee, the 60 years of the queen on the throne as well. >> the approval for this, we mentioned it goes straight to the top. is there a sense that this

wedding will be a big bash the way princess diana, william's mother had, or is this going to be an intimate, private affair? >> my understanding is that neither the queen nor prince william want a big event. there's been talk of westminster abby where princess diana had her funeral. but it's said they want to do a similar wedding to that of charles and camilla at sir george's chapel inindsor. that way they can control it, within the confines of windsor chapel but you get all the global television watching that event. >> he graduates as a member of the royal air force search and rescue. he's a pilot. if he does not marry by the time he's 30, do you think he'll be frowned upon? >> actually i don't. i do think that what will happen here, he's found his modern princess and they've been allowed to live together in this way because there's not the same pressures on william as perhaps there was on prince charles. clearly in kate i think he has got the perfect princess,

somebody who fits the bill, and at the moment is best for them if they're not public property. as soon as they're married what will happen, of course, is the whole world will be watching them. at the moment they're allowed to live effectively as man and wife without having all the publicity. it's a question of timing. >> robert jobson, thank you very much for that. when we come up after a break, the queen of daytime, oprah's hyped farewell season kicks off monday. what can we expect? we'll find out right after these messages. ♪ ♪ express yourself ♪ ♪ oh, do it ♪ oh, do it ♪ ♪ express yourself [ female announcer ] coffee is like life. it's better when you add your flavor. now try new honey vanilla creme. coffee-mate. from nestle.
