times today. >> yeah, come see us at 11:00. thanks for being with us. have a great weekend.y enthatjon y joat sunshine. good morning, breaking news, a dismal jobs report out this morning, 69,000 jobs in may, pushing the unemployment rate to 8.2%. we are live with the reaction on wall street. no new trial. a source says federal prosecutors are unlikely to retry john edwards. this after he was found not guilty on one count, a mistrial declared on five others. what was it like inside the jury room? this morning three members of that jury including its foreman are here for an exclusive live interview. and all hail the queen. a full dress rehearsal in london as britain gets set for four days of lavish, star-studded celebration to mark the queen's diamond jubilee. and just look who has made her way to london to soak it all in today, friday, june 1st, 2012.

good morning. welcome to "today" at 7:00 am on a friday morning. i'm matt lauer. >> i'm ann curry. break news, new report that indicates the economy is spiraling again. >> the fewest jobs in a year and the rise in the unemployment rate at 8.2% is the first increase in 11 months, a live report on that coming straight ahead. >> pretty sobering. and also this fallout over new york city mayor michael bloomberg's to reduce the size

of sugary and soft drinks. we asked you to weigh in on our website and the results were very lopsided. we will talk about that with mayor bloomberg, an exclusive live interview and ask him if he is sendsing a mixed message on obesity. and ahead meredith is in london to cover the queen's diamond jubilee. this morning, she'll show us never before seen home video of the queen with her children. and back here at home our plaza has gone country this morning for a live concert from the hit sibling trio, the band perry. >> they are siblings, a sophomore album. we begin this morning with the criminal trial of john edwards that ended with acquittal and mistrial. talking exclusively to the jury foreman and members of the jury. first, here is lisa myers with the more. >> reporter: good morning. this was a resounding defeat for the government. jurors tell nbc news that on each of the five counts on which

they could not agree, more jurors sided with john edwards than with prosecutors. and a law enforcement source now says the justice department is unlikely to retry this case. >> i am responsible. >> reporter: though clearly relieved, john edwards was careful not to celebrate at the end of an extraordinary and emotional day. >> while i do not believe i did anything illegal or ever thought i was doing anything illegal, i did an awful, awful lot that was wrong, and there is no one else responsible for my sins. >> reporter: after almost four weeks of testimony, 31 witnesses, and nine days of deliberations, jurors were able to reach a unanimous verdict on only one of six counts. they found edwards not guilty of receiving illegal campaign contributions from heiress rachel mellon in 2008. but on the other five counts, there was no unanimous decision and the judge declared a mistrial.

>> for a month or more, john edwards had literally been perched on the edge of his chair. and at the moment he heard not guilty, he rocked back. you can see the relief wave over him. >> reporter: after the verdict and an emotional scene in the courtroom, edwards embraced his daughter, cate, his parents, his lawyers, and later thanked everyone, especially cate, who has been a rock by his side every day. >> she has been here no matter what, no matter how awful and painful a lot of the evidence was for her. evidence about her dad, evidence about her mom, who she loves so, so dearly, but she never once flinched. she said, "dad, i love you. i'll be there for you no matter what." >> reporter: jurors tell nbc that many of them began deliberation thinking edwards was probably guilty but decided the government had not proven its case. many did not find the government's star witnesses,

former edwards aide andrew young, and his wife sherry, to be credible. during the final vote, jurors say they split on various counts, but each time, a majority sided with edwards including 8-4 that he was not guilty of conspiracy. and 11-1 that he was not guilty of filing false campaign reports. >> the department of justice should not retry this case. it's not in the trf justice. >> reporter: while edwards used his victory to take responsibility for the great pain he has caused his family and those who believed in him, he also seemed to open the door to a future public role. >> i don't think god's through with me. i really believe he thinks there's still some good things i can do. >> reporter: edwards has said that one of his greatest wrongs was denying paternity of the child he shares with former mistress, rielle hunter, but on this day he acknowledged his 4-year-old daughter like never before.

>> and then finally, my precious quinn, who i love more than any of you could ever imagine, and i am so close to and so, so grateful for, so grateful for quinn. i'm grateful for all of my children. >> reporter: but for now, john edwards still has a bit of a cloud over his head until the government officially decides whether he will be retried. so far, the justice department has declined to comment on the verdict or on its intentions. matt? >> all right. lisa meyers, thank you so much for your work covering this trial. david rashon served as the jury foreman at the edwards trial. our other guests were members of the jury and are with us exclusively this morning. we appreciate it. good morning. >> good morning. >> nine days almost of deliberations. what was the mood like in that room? >> i will start by saying we had emotions. each day was a new day.

we would start with calmness. we actually prayed together as a group. we'd finish the day and challenge ourselves every bit of the day. >> start with calmness. did it end with calmness or did emotions boil over? did it get frustrating in that room? >> there were times it got very frustrating. the emotions got high. and we'd have to take a minute, step back, and just everyone calm down. >> it took nine days to reach a mistrial here. at what point during the deliberations were you all convinced that it was probably going to end that way? >> yesterday. >> just yesterday? >> yes. >> you thought maybe you could reach verdicts on all these counts prior to yesterday? >> yes, i did. we had several discussions on that and we tried to work it out, but we couldn't come to a unanimous decision. >> 2:00 yesterday afternoon, you alert the judge. you say we've reached a unanimous decision on one of the counts, count three. we're still having problems with the other five. she sent you back to work. what happened in those couple of hours between her sending you back to work and declaring a mistrial? >> you know, the first thing i'd say, matt, is we had

deliberately planned on that possibly happening. so we knew going in that we wouldn't go into that jury room without a full conviction of what we wanted to get accomplished. so when we went in the first time, we were very confident, but we took the judge's instructions and came back and did exactly what she asked and deliberated one more time. >> let's do a little show and tell. raise your hands if you think john edwards was guilty on at least some of the counts against him. okay. raise your hands if you think john edwards is a bad guy. interesting. so the personal side of this case where they brought those witnesses forward and there was that testimony about his lies about rielle hunter, his lies about paternity of her child, the fact that he had an affair while his wife was battling cancer, did that not have any impact on you as a jury? >> we tried to put our feelings

aside. and what we were doing was just looking at the facts to come up with our verdict. >> we all came in with our own preconceived notions, but then once the evidence was laid out we had to separate that. >> you raised your hand. you said you think he is guilty on at least some of the counts. what do you think he was guilty of? >> i do. i think that he had some knowledge. i think he definitely had some knowledge of the money, where the money was going, especially the money from mrs. mellon. >> so you think he was guilty of breaking campaign finance laws? >> i do. >> yes. >> and you do as well? >> i do as well. but he was just smart enough to hide it and we could not find the evidence. >> so what was it in the prosecution's case that did not reach the level you needed for a conviction? >> i would say the burden of proof. it wasn't there, the evidence. >> i think the credibility of the witness was something that was of utmost importance to us. >> andrew young? >> yes. >> so he was their star witness and he came with a lot of baggage. baggage. how damaging in the long run did

he become to the prosecution's case? >> i think, unfortunately, that was probably the key part of the miss for the prosecution because they did a tremendous job. both sets of attorneys. and there were cases that could be built in either way. but when it came down to it, it was a matter of filling in the gaps. >> cindy, john edwards on the courthouse steps said, i am responsible. and if i want to find the person who should be held accountable for my sins, honestly, i don't have to go any further than the mirror. it's me and me alone. when you look at john edwards today, what thoughts come to your mind? >> i think he was guilty, but like we said, the evidence just was not there for us to prove guilt. >> there is still no official word from the government, ladonna, as to whether they will retry these five counts. do you think they should? >> yes, i do. >> david? >> i think there needs to be some change in campaign finance

law before you go through this process. and kind of nailing down what really is and what really isn't a campaign contribution. >> there's been some criticism of the government for millions of dollars spent on this prosecution. do you think it was money well spent? >> i do not. >> do you think he was guilty but you don't think it was money well spent. that is a contradiction. >> i'd say it was money well spent. it's elevating to the world the need for stronger finance law and it's also elevating what candidates can and can't do as it relates to a campaign. >> fascinating to hear what you have to say. there is a lot of nuance in your comments. >> we were told in opening statement, follow the money. that was interesting and that's what we tried to do. >> we really appreciate your time this morning. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. nice to meet you all. it is now 11 minutes after the hour. with more, here is ann. what happens next for john edwards? savannah guthrie and chuck todd,

good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> we just heard three of the jurors saying they believe john edwards was guilty but the prosecution failed to prove its case. where, savannah, was this prosecution's case weakest? >> well, on multiple counts but i think we just heard the weakest part of the case and that was the chief accuser, the star witness as it were for the prosecution, andrew young, and these jurors just showed they found him to be utterly lacking in any credibility whatsoever. the problem for the government was there were elements of these alleged crimes that rose or fell on the testimony of andrew young and andrew young alone. with regard to criminal intent they had to show not only that john edwards knew about the money but that he knew it was a violation of campaign finance laws when even campaign finance experts can't agree about that. >> if they don't have a credible witness in andrew young who by the way was deemed not credible because he had sold a book, he had gotten some money -- all of those things. can the prosecution, the justice department file again? don't they need another witness, more evidence to even pursue

from here? >> that the crux of it. they have the right to refile these charges, but will they if there is no evidence that their witnesses are going to get any better with age or time? now andrew young has yet another bunch of statements that can be picked apart by some future defense attorney. there is no reason to believe this case is going to get any easier in terms of the facts, the witnesses, or the law, and i think that's why it is probably likely why our reporters are reporting that the justice department is not likely to refile. >> while the justice department considers that and probably goes nah that direction, but we'll see, let's talk about his political life. it was interesting to hear john edwards say after the verdict say "god is not through with me yet." you raised your eyes. what is your response? >> he is really deluded here if he thinks he has a political future. i can tell you former friends of his and people very loyal to elizabeth, his late wife, just sit there and wish he would stop publicly looking for redemption. if he wants public redemption they wish he would go away quietly and maybe show up a decade later after helping the

poor, helping the sick. but this idea that he needs to seek public redemption, that he desperately needs to get back into public life, i think, is what they believe led him down this path to where he was as close to prison as he has -- >> he is talking about starting some kind of foundation to help the poor. there have been politician ness the past who have been disgrace wlod have been able to rise up and do that. that is not possible? >> everything is possible. he has been given this advice. stop publicly asking for it. go quietly and do it. let people discover that maybe you have -- you're worthy of redemption. don't sit here and desperately do it in the spotlight. i think that is what was so weird about yesterday. that was a man, clearly, not understanding how low he had fallen in the eyes politically of a lot of people. he ended up hurting people yesterday that were close to his wife, elizabeth, just by some of the ways he went about talking

about his children, talking about things. so, again, he's got a lot to learn to figure out how to get publicd, savannah guthrie, thank you so much for your perspective. it is now 7:14. once again, here's matt. >> thank you. now to the new proposal from new york city mayor michael bloomberg that's being met with some mixed reactions. as we told you on thursday, he wants to outlaw large sodas and sugary drinks to help fight obesity. mayor bloomberg is with us this morning exclusively. nice to see you, mr. mayor. good morning. >> good morning. >> you say this is about fighting obesity. some people who have jumped out criticizing you and say it's about personal freedom, about not wanting government to tell them what to do. we conducted an online poll overnight. not only do people, in some cases, worry about their freedom, they worry whether it is going to work. 83% said, this will not solve the obesity problem. >> where did i hear this before? wasn't it smoking wasn't going to work? today, it's one of the best things we've ever done. deaths from smoking dramatically coming down across the country. virtually every major city has

adopted the smoking ordinances. countries in europe, the whole -- lots of countries have adopted it. it just takes time for people to understand. the real difference, however, between smoking and full-sugar drinks or obesity is that in the case of smoking, it is not clear that one cigarette doesn't cause cancer. nobody really knows. in the case of full-sugar drinks, in moderation it's fine. all we're trying to do is explain to people that if you drink a little bit less you will live longer. you'll have a better life. today obesity is one of the biggest problems this country has. >> do you have to explain that by banning a certain size soft drink or sugary drink? >> we're not banning you from getting the stuff. just if you want 32 ounces, the restaurant has to serve it in two glasses. that is not exactly taking away your freedoms. it's not something the founding fathers fought for. this is just reminding you, and all the studies show if the glass or plate in front of you is smaller, you'll eat less. >> you think people are simply going to go around this, buy two 16-ounce drinks or walk down the street from the deli to the grocery store and buy the big

container of soda? >> some will and they still have the right to do that and it doesn't hurt them at all. but those who will drink less or eat less, those people will be better off. >> why is this a priority for you at this point, with all the other things on your plate, all the other crises facing people in this city, from crime to education and the economy? >> education is better. crime is down. created more jobs than ever before in our city. what we have done is we've improved life expectancy. life expectancy in new york city is three years greater than the american average. think about that. 8.4 million people living three years longer. and, incidentally, we're the only place that's brought down childhood obesity about 5% in the last couple years. it's really quite amazing. >> you announced this on a thursday. today is friday and it's a national holiday. do you know what the holiday is? >> national donut day. >> and it's a real thing, not a national holiday, but it is national donut day and your administration has come out in support of national doughnut day. >> two things. it sounds ridiculous.

>> it doesn't sound ridiculous. one donut is not going to hurt you. in moderation, most things are okay. number two, think about what national donut day is. it celebrates a lot of young ladies during world war i called donut lassies who went and gave donuts to our soldiers while they were fighting to protect -- >> your honor, that was before obesity was a national epidemic. if anything in moderation works for donuts, why not with soft drinks? >> that is exactly what we're trying to do with soft drinks is get you to drink in moderation. instead of getting the big 32-ounce, get two 16 ounces if you want but history shows, all the tests show what you'll do is probably drink one. >> happy national donut day. >> thank you very much. >> good to have you here. let's check the rest of the morning's top stories. natalie is over at the news desk back from assignment. welcome back. thank you, matt. good morning everyone. dismal number thus morning, latest u.s. number also jobs report. mandy drury a at cnbc headquarters to tell us how the market is reacting. >> may created only 69,000 jobs,

well below expectations of 150,000. and to make matters worst, the two months prior to were lower. unemployment rate it ticks up to 8.2% from 8.1. what is the bottom line here, natalie in the economy has clearly lost steam. the reaction in the market is stuck. shock stocks are lower and the treasury is at record lows. as i said this morning that means if you apply for a loan it is getting cheaper, but you get very little interest for your hard-earned savings. back over to you. >> we will be watching the markets all day mandy drury at cnbc headquarters. thank you. the biggest wildfire in new mexico's history is growing on all sides. it now covers about 300 square miles in hilla national forest. some evacuations have been ordered. more than 1,000 firefighters are battling the flames which have destroyed at least 20 cabins and out buildings since it broke out two weeks ago. afghan officials say six civilians were wounded when a suicide car bomber and other

insurgents attacked a nato base today in eastern afghanistan. the taliban is claiming responsibility. a federal appeals court ruled unanimously thursday that the heart of the federal defense of marriage act, which denies many benefits to same-sex couples is unconstitutional. the ruling could set the stage for the supreme court to review the issue as early as next year. a 14-year-old san diego girl won $30,000 in cash thursday by capturing the national spelling bee title. and here is her wing word. g-u-. >> the french derived word means a snare or trap. huge congratulations to her. at 7:20 you're up to date. over to matt and ann. she started to learn to spell while her parents were driving her to kindergarten. love the learning in the car. >> thanks for defining the word. i had no idea. >> never heard of it.

>> right? meantime? >> fill out the forecast for good morning to you. he was not kidding. we've got a really good-looking day shaping up. as you can see here, a little bit of cloud cover hugging the coastline. that's going to keep your conditions cooler at the coast. i'm actually forecasting warmer numbers in some of your inland cities. 100 degrees for fairfield. make sure you're ready for the warmth, drinking lots of water throughout the day, seeking shade. by tomorrow, we're going to bring temperatures down to 82 degrees, and late spring showers monday into tuesday. hope you have a fantastic weekend. and that's your latest weather. >> all right. thanks. by the way have we mentioned britain is marking the queen's diamond jubilee. >> really? >> i know. the celebrations begin on saturday and our good friend and nbc special correspondent meredith vieira is in london to cover all of the pomp and circumstance. perfect assignment for you, meredith. good morning. >> reporter: i'm loving it, ann.

good morning to all of you guys. the military early this morning went through the final dress rehearsal for its role in the diamond jubilee. they have the horses out. they have the carriage out that the queen will ride in on her way back from st. paul's after the service on tuesday. obviously the queen wasn't in it today. they didn't shoot off the guns today. there was no music playing. because it was early in the morning quite frankly they didn't want to wake up everybody in london but there will be a lot more going on when this event actually takes place. it is a very big deal here. obviously this jubilee. you remember last year we covered the royal wedding and there were a million people lining the streets at that point. lots of flags waving and people cheering and all of that. you thought it couldn't be topped. this will definitely rival that. this is a four-day celebration and let's face it. there's only been one other diamond jubilee in history and that was in 1897, queen victoria. there may not be another one at least in my lifetime for sure. so they are going all out. the festivities begin tomorrow but the souvenirs are already

selling like hotcakes. i have one here of the queen. i know this is going to seem silly to you guys but it sends a strong message because this is the lady right in that bright outfit always with that very familiar wave that we all know, never misses a beat, never misses any event that's scheduled for her. at 86 years old, still going strong. and the people love her. they might have questions about the monarchy from time to time but they love their queen. so coming up we're going to give you a full wrapup of all the events that are scheduled beginning tomorrow and also you are going to get to see some very rare footage never seen before of the royal family. >> that is very cool. thank you so much. >> the pocket queen. >> we need that souvenir don't you think? as meredith mentioned we'll see that never before seen footage of the family. we've got much more. this is "today" on nbc.

coming up a high school teacher reportedly caught it is 7:26 right now. good morning, everybody, i'm jon kelley. investigators are trying to figure out whether two fires at a san jose high school were intentionally set. they started at about 2:30 this morning. one fire started next to the library, another one started about 100 feet away in a dumpster. a smoke alarm there alerted firefighters who responded to that scene. they were able to knock down those flames within 15 minutes. >> and the fires do appear suspicious. our arson investigator is on scene now and is investigating the fire as of now we have a cause that is undetermined. >> we can tell you school is out for summer, so class schedules were not affected. now, technically, it is not summer just yet, but meteorologist christina loren says it certainly feels like it.

>> yeah, the thermometer says summer all over it. throughout this afternoon, you'll get a little bit of a cooldown at the coast, but we don't have all that much cloud cover to cool you down. temperatures are going to soar with strong high pressure firmly in control of our weather pattern. take a look at your afternoon readings, up to 88 degrees at noon with four additional hours of warming to go. so it will be a hot one especially inland. 90 degrees in places like san jose, 94 for concord, 72 in san francisco, meanwhile, the warmest outlying cities, 100 degrees today in ffairfield. likely the case for gilroy, as well. tomorrow, more of that fog coming off of the pacific. that'll bring your temperatures down to the mid-80s, low 80s for sunday. then the 70s return monday and tuesday with a few light showers early monday. let's check your drive at 7:27. here's mike. been a tough one for southbound 680 coming down through pleasanton. the accident at sunol boulevard. sounds like activities starting to slow down. and a lighter slow down from the

dublin interchange to sunol boulevard. if you're cutting down out of livermore and jumping on to 680 at 84, you're okay, clear past that in the southbound direction, but bogging down at the interchange 580 coming through livermore. northbound 101 recovering greatly after the accident at great america has cleared. bogging down for 280 northbound crossing over 880 and 17 and slowing northbound up towards palo alto. that construction, though, jon, that's actually cleared. back to you off of this map. >> thanks for the heads up. and for the latest traffic and news updates, check nbc bay area on facebook. this country was built by working people.

♪ 7:30 now on a friday morning the first day of june, 2012. our crowd is gearing up for a live concert from one of the hottest acts in country music, the band perry, cma's reigning new artist of the year. and they will take to our stage at 8:30, in an hour. meantime, excitement is building in london for a different reason. the queen's diamond jubilee. meredith is at the tower of london this morning. in a moment she will show us never before seen home videos of the royal family. we're excited about that. she is practicing her royal wave. has her pinky out. look at those images. really poignant, don't you think? >> always interesting to see things like this especially from

years ago. it's going to be part of the celebration as we head for london tomorrow, sunday, monday, and tuesday. >> that's right. it is going to be very excited to see you guys there. also ahead this morning, a photo that's caused quite a stir here in new york city. >> it reportedly shows a high school teacher kissing one of her teenage students. now the 26-year-old teacher is under investigation. she has been removed from her classroom. coming up the student in that photograph speaks out in an exclusive interview. also we're hearing from oprah and millions of fans were sad when she ended her talk show last year but does she miss it? you might be surprised what she has to say. it's a new interview. we'll hear that coming up. let's first go back to meredith in london for a preview of events in the coming days. good morning again. >> reporter: good morning to you, matt. i mentioned before it has been 115 years since the last diamond jubilee for queen victoria. it is the only other diamond jubilee. you think the royal wedding was a big deal? you ain't seen nothing yet.

with bunting, boats, and bells, the british people are kicking off a weekend of pomp and pageantry fit for a queen. as england and the world prepare to pay tribute to the queen's 60 years on the throne, prince charles is sharing his own thoughts about his mother's milestone in a new documentary. >> the diamond jubilee gives us a chance to celebrate with pride all that the queen means to us both as a nation and indeed as one of her children. >> reporter: never before seen home movies released by the prince show the queen and her two eldest children. and in footage from a 1957 beach vacation prince charles and princess ann are seen playing with one of the queen's beloved corgies. prince william also spoke of his grandmother, the queen, in an interview with british broadcaster itv. >> i'd like to take all of her small moments and experience and

put it into a small box and be able to refer to it. >> reporter: prince william will accompany the queen with his family, the direct line of succession front and center. >> in the past few months and year it's all been about william and kate. everybody seems to be fascinated by them. they of course will be important in terms of supporting the queen, but it will be her weekend. it will be a moment when we celebrate elizabeth ii. >> reporter: the jubilee weekend festivities get under way on saturday when the queen and the royal family attend the eppson derby horse race. the highlight of the weekend will no doubt be the diamond jubilee pageant on sunday featuring a flotilla of more than 1,000 boats sailing down the river thames with the queen and prince philip on a specially decorated barge. a star-studded concert on monday includes performances by elton john, paul mccartney, stevie wonder, and many others. the night culminates with the lighting of 4,000 beacons across great britain and the rest of the world.

on tuesday the queen attends a national service of thanksgiving at st. paul's cathedral famously the venue of prince charles and lady diana's 1981 wedding. a carriage procession takes the queen back to buckingham palace as she and prince philip ride in the 1902 state landeau most recently used by the duke and duchess of cambridge on their wedding day. the festivities conclude with an appearance on the famous buckingham palace balcony complete with a royal air force flyover. and i haven't even mentioned the 10,000 block parties that are scheduled over the next four days, because it is a banker's holiday here and people are ready to celebrate. i'm joined now by a royal expert and our special correspondent. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> i want to start with you because you're a lucky guy. man, you are going to be part of the flotilla. how excited are you? >> i can't wait. i think it is going to be one of the most spectacular things to have happened in london for years. you know, we have the

spectacular wedding last year. i think this is going to blow everyone away. a thousand boats all going down the thames, a narrow river, all the bridges and we expect millions and millions. i have collected my special -- it's very high security because the entire royal family will be there. and i'll be in a little rowing boat sweating and probably looking a little bit red in the face. >> are you rowing in front of the barge? >> i'm going to be just behind the gloriana, the royal row boat, and just in front of the spirit so i'll be sandwiched between the two royal boats. >> don't slow down. >> i know. i don't want to hold the queen and her family up. >> one of the things that is so fascinating about the home movies we just saw, never seen before, and in part i think it's because the queen is a very private person. she doesn't like to share her private life. >> no. >> reporter: i wonder how she feels about all of this attention being showered on her. >> she doesn't actually like attention on her personally but she really loves the notion of the whole nation if not the world taking part in these celebrations.

in the mexican courtroom. it looks less formal. you don't have the lawyers standing up and arguing on both sides. >> reporter: prosecutors say the reality tv producer strangled his wife monica in the early morning hours of april 5th, 2010, dumping her body in a sewer that night, half a day later. on thursday a housekeeper told prosecutors he saw beresford-redman place a do not disturb sign on his door, keeping maids from cleaning the hotel room where prosecutors allege he was hiding her body. but during cross-examination the housekeeper admitted he also saw beresford-redman and his children go in and out of the room several times that day and didn't notice any unusual behavior. >> and during all those times he saw them completely and absolutely normal and having a good time. >> reporter: defense attorneys say there is no evidence to tie beresford-redman to the death of his wife, but in mexico, the burden of proof is on the defendant. >> there is much more of a burden on the defendant to show

that he is not guilty than the prosecutor to show that he is. >> another big difference in mexican murder trials, a jury is not an option, only the judge can decide beresford-redman's fate and, natalie, testimony is expected to continue in this case through october. >> all right. kristen dahlgren out of our los angeles bureau this morning, thank you. now for a look at what is trending today. our quick round up of what has you talking online. fans are blogging that madonna's new mda world tour is unbelievable. the material girl kicked it off last night in israel. her first tour in three years. meantime, justin bieber ran head long into trouble on his promotional tour in europe. first, a crushing crowd left some fans injured in norway on wednesday. a day later, bieber told tmz about hurting himself when he rammed into an offstage wall of glass and knocked himself out during a concert in paris. >> i went to reach for the railing, and i hit my head on the glass. and, like, i guess me and glass windows just don't really go

toochlt 8:30. that's it. is that going to be a problem? >> might want to give a little more time especially in college. >> let's say we negotiate a deal, 1:00 in the morning or midnight. what happens if the teen breaks the curfew? what is the penalty? >> if something like that happens it goes on with the open dialogue. if you come home too late you're not going to be able to go out next week or come home at 12:00 a.m. the next week. so kind of a give and take with the parents and the teens. >> lucy, i think there is also a give and take between friend time and family time. during the summer a lot of parents want to spend time with our children and we get the feeling you just want to be with your friends. >> that is not entirely true. we do want to have time with our parents but as a teen one of the worst things that can happen is i go out and make plans to hang out with my friends for the night and my mom busts into my room and tells me cancel your plans. we're going to dinner with dad. i want my parents to make plans with me not for me. >> if i start intruding on what is already your established schedule, that's when i create a

problem. >> that's when teens are going to start to feel like hanging out with their parents is a burden. >> let's talk about websites. you guys are going to come home. you'll be home for the summer and on your computer. as parents we'll walk by and see this all the time. what are the websites you'll be on and what do i need to know as a parent? >> i'm really excited about this. i just discovered this new website called flavor pill.com. >> what does it do? >> it is a network of culturally connected people who are interested in learning about great events, giveaways, concerts, book signings, everything in their areas and this is not just in the united states. this is in london as well. and it might be in a few other cities globally. >> do parents understand this if we go on this it is going to be all right for us too? >> absolutely. the website is not at all convoluted but very easy to understand. flavor wire as you can see at the top, it says read our culture blog flavor wire and on this site this is the most organized website i've ever seen for a tablet. i press this all tab here and you can see all of the different -- this is basically -- i have a different app for each one of these things and a different website.

that is my go to for this. >> i'm looking at that page there second on the list after books is music. let's turn to music this summer. a lot of concerts out there. justin bieber, chris brown, drake. i had a hard time with this next one. i guess it is pronounced dead mouse. >> it is. >> help me with this. >> so definitely you have justin bieber, the diverse fan club. he'll be on tour so everybody loves him, whether you're 10 years old or 20, everybody loves justin bieber. then you also have chris brown who has had problems in the past but because of his great entertainment abilities everybody still loves him. then you have more of the hip hop crowd. you have drake, able to sing and also rap. so kids love him. then you said dead mou 5. >> spelled mou-5. that's why i wasn't quite into it. >> the college scene. the college scene because of the techno feel. >> as parents we're concerned sometimes about the music our kids are listening to. are there websites where i can go to be better educated about what the content might be? >> definitely. i think one place you can go is a good website to give you the

new concerts, top artists and things like that to actually understand what is out there and also what your kids are listening to. so kind of a word to the wise. always monitor what your kids are listening to. >> guys, you educated me this morning. remember, it is 8:30. all right? that's your curfew. ricky randle and lucy fink. ricky and lucy. i like that. up next, a live concert from one of the hottest acts in country music, the band perry. first, this is "today" on nbc.

a source in federal law enforcement says it appears unlikely that the government will retry former presidential candidate john edwards on campaign fraud charges. the jury acquitted edwards thursday on one count of accepting illegal campaign contributions but dead locked on five other counts and the judge declared a mistrial. justin bieber continues running into problems with glass. the pop star tells tchlz mz he into a wall of glass and knocked himself out during a promotional tour thursday in paris. he has also whacked his head on a revolving glass door in the past. madonna is back on tour for the first time in three years and fans are blogging that she hasn't lost a step. the material girl kicked off her new mdna world tour last night in israel. fans say the concert was unbelievable. 15 couples from china tied the knot thursday during a mass wedding at a fairy tale castle in southern germany. the bavarian castle is one of the most popular in europe largely because of its beauty.

and the marathon man of tennis, you can call him that again. american john isner gave it his all on thursday at the french open but it wasn't enough to defeat paul mattu of france in a nearly six-hour match. the 76-game saga set a french open saga for the most games played two years ago at wimbledon. isner won the longest pro match ever at just over 11 hours. and a full dress rehearsal for queen elizabeth's diamond jubilee procession took place just after dawn today in london. the rehearsal was a chance to see what will happen in central london next tuesday afternoon. the full state procession will feature about 2,000 members of the armed forces. matt and meredith will cover that as well. a 7-year-old boy was a real show stopper at a school talent show in oklahoma. he put on his best suit, his best glove, then danced, dazzled the crowd, dancing to michael jackson's "smooth criminal" and some of his amazed family members said they had no idea he had it in him.

wow. that is an unbelievable display. four minutes past the hour right now. back out to al for a check of the weather. >> there is an "america's got talent" kid right there. >> amazing. >> wow. you guys like perry? did you have a good time? yeah. fantastic. let's see what we've got. less than fantastic weather to show nu the mid-atlantic states as we look from charleston up to pittsburgh, washington, d.c., threat of some strong storms. can't rule out tornadoes. you can see on the radar that rain hndsow d toow miami. they have been getting socked in southern florida. we'll have more heavy rain, 2 to 3 inches again today and the heavy rain goes all the way up the coast from charleston into new york city and back as far west as pittsburgh and buffalo anywhere from 1 to well, we're going to see a little bit cooler conditions today at the coast and bay side. we are ramping up numbers inland. live look at san francisco, low clouds keep conditions nice and

comfortable. just about all day long, places like san mateo and san francisco where you have the 60s now, but we're already incident 70s in sunnyvale and livermore. by noon, ramping into the upper 80s in cities like antioch. then we likely hit the triple digits in fairfield and gilroy today. tomorrow and sunday, we cool off. that's your latest weather. savannah? >> thanks. it has been nearly a year since 20-year-old indiana university student loren speier disappeared. she was last seen june 3rd, 2011, after a night out with some friends. on thursday the bloomington police department said it has investigated more than 2500 tips and this is still an active case. rob and charlene speier are loren's parents and rebecca is her older sister. good morning to all of you. good to see you. >> good morning. >> thank you for being here. >> thanks for having us. >> hard to imagine that a year has passed and no word on what happened to loren. i guess the first question is, charlene, i'll start with you, how are you guys doing? how is the family holding up?

>> well, i think we're, you know, committed and we're driven and, you know, we just go through every day thinking about what we can do to make a difference and what we can do to try to get closer to finding loren. >> rebecca, this is one of the first times you've spoken out. i can only imagine it's very heart wrenching. what made you want to talk about this now? >> well, we've been dealing with it together every day and the year is upon us. we could have never imagined still a year later not having the answers that we so desperately want. but every day we're just trying to stay together and we're leaning on each other and just doing the best we can. >> rob, for those who aren't as familiar with what happened here, just remind everybody what we do know about the case. loren was out, she was a college student. she was out at a bar until about

3:00. then what do we know about what happened? >> there's been a lot published about the events of the evening. what we do know is that loren was with some people. she was out at a bar, was drinking at the bar, left, and went back to her apartment. for some reason never made it to her apartment. and ended up going back to someone else's apartment. she was reportedly last seen leaving an apartment on 11th street in bloomington, indiana. so what we do know is that the people that were with her that night really did nothing to help her. and that's, you know, part of the tragedy here is that we believe that the events would have been completely different had somebody reached out, called for help, taken her to a

hospital, taken some kind of action. >> and at a minimum you feel her friends let her down. here she had been drinking and was in no position to be walking home alone. is that how you feel, charlene? >> exactly. i mean, i think that we're aware of the fact that loren was not in great shape and the idea that loren was on the floor of her apartment building and steps away from her apartment and she could have been taken home and was not is unconscionable. >> do you feel that those around her have been forthcoming and helpful to police in their investigation? >> well, look at it this way. the -- in the days after -- immediately after loren's disappearance, the people that were with her or had some knowledge about the events of the evening did speak to police but, yet, shortly thereafter everyone lawyered up. the lines of communication

became either nonexistent or severely limited and to this day many of those people, most of those people have not taken police polygraphs, which is what we've asked for from the beginning, given the fact that we don't know exactly what happened to loren. having information from people helps us narrow down the possibilities. >> and the police have said that this is a, quote, very active investigation. have they given you any hint, charlene, about what they're working on, where they think the leads are going? >> we are in constant communication with the bloomington police department but they do not share any of the specific investigative information which they have. >> i want to ask you a question that to be honest is hard to ask. do you have hope that she still could be found alive? >> you know, you always have hope but after a year i don't think it's likely.

>> you have to be realistic. as parents, you know, you just think about yourself. you have children or you have a loved one. if they were to just disappear and be out of your life, it's 'n extremely, indescribable position to be in. you always have that small element of hope but as time goes by of course you become more and more realistic about the possibility of her being alive and, of course, that would take a certain set of circumstances to have happened that night, so we just don't know. >> i know you do want answers and you certainly deserve those. thank you for coming here and sharing your story and helping us keep focused on her case. >> thank you. >> we appreciate it. >> there is something i can say. you know, there was a segment on preceding us about teenagers and

communicating. it's critical. i can tell you that in our case either charlene or i spoke to loren every single day. we had the communication. but there is just so much that you can do. hopefully the kids make the right choices. i think it's clear that in this country under age drinking is rampant. it goes to the high school level. it goes to the college level. you go to any of these college towns and you will find under age drinking going on in these bars, including kill roys where loren was the night that she disappeared. so it's a big problem in this country and i think if other states like indiana pass this life line law which allows people who are with someone who needs help to contact police, take them to a hospital, and not to be subject to prosecution, those are the kinds of things that we need to do in addition to communicating to try to make

things better. >> absolutely. to shine a light on those issues. rob, charlene, rebecca, thank you again for being here. if you have any information on loren's whereabouts you are asked to contact the bloomington police department at 812-339-4477. and for more information, you can visit find loren.com. we will be back with more right after this.
