we had this one. why i march. my friend should have graduated with me. when we were in seventh grade he was gunned down. he deserved to graduate school. he was 13. it is a fight for our lives. this teacher tweeting sitting in my dark classroom for a lockdown drill. children holding chairs and microscopes to throw. we are seeing tweets. it pains me to witness another school shooting. my heartaches for the entire country at this point. it could happen anywhere to anyone and that is why i march. a lot of powerful messages being shown on social media. i think it is putting it in perspective. >> throwing microscopes? >> to think that is the drill. sad. heartbreak connects to what we are talking about in "popstart." >> we start on the topic of the march. george clooney making headlines for the lietter he wrote to

students of the parkland shooting. he thanked them for making them quote proud of his country again. amal and i are 100% behind you and marching in d.c. on the 24th. we feel strongly this is your march. your movement. joining them is ariana grande and many more the student organizers. moving on to the wedding overseas. prince harry and meghan markle. never been royals, according to lorde, but the wedding china just went on sale with gold monogr monograms. the china is corn flower blue and finished in 22 karat gold. it features $69 for a plate. >> you can go to h&m.

>> and finally, captain america is hanging up his shield. not yet, but according to the profile in "the new york times" captain america four could be the last time he is playing the superhero. chris evans says you want to get off the train before they push you off. you have two more movies to get the fix. affinity war is out next month. >> that will be big. thank you, dylan. still to come, we check back in with craig as the nation's capital gets ready for the march for our lives ray. butll

we're back with just a few hours to go before the massive march in washington. we're taking a look at live pictures. let's check in on craig one more time. craig. >> hey, there. a final thought before we go this morning about what we're going to be seeing here in our nation's capital in just a few

hours. a statistic as sobering as it is staggering. starting with columbine in 1999, more than 187,000 students and 193 schools have lived through a shooting on campus. many of those students will be here today in d.c., along with friends and parents remembering victims of gun violence. but they have decided that thoughts and prayers for fallen friends isn't enough. what's happening here, it really does feel like the beginning of a movement. not merely enough another march. i have covered nearly a dozen mass shootings at churches, nightclubs, schools, starting with sandy hook. i have never seen a tragedy trigger a response like this one has. students simply fed up. fed up with gun violence. fed up with not feeling safe in of all places schools. they decided to vote, to lobby,

to demand changes, to call their lawmakers and along the way, encourage hundreds of thousands of other in flesh and in spirit. whatever your politics, no matter how you feel about the best ways to address this undeniable problem in our country, it is impossible not to be moved, not to be inspired, not to be proud of these young people who have turned tears into action. we, the adults, haven't been able to muster the collective courage and political will to keep our children safe. but wouldn't it be something if in the end it was the children who saved themselves. >> fantastic. have a great day, everyone. which is why the online financing application at carmax.com is so convenient. get some of that finance stuff out of the way from wherever you are, at the doctor's office, karate practice or my favorite... back at the doctor's office. knowing before you go means more quality time sewing a costume for the school play
