we just got a note from the palace saying the parents of kate middleton could be arriving here the next 10 to 15 minutes. i'm telling you it calmed down after a kind of chaotic morning when we thought that the new prince might be seen out on the steps here of the lindo wing. that didn't happen. now it looks like there might be a visit to the royals and it's something that we haven't heard yet. so that's what we are waiting for. in the meantime, let me tell you a little bit more about what has been going on. this morning, two gun salutes were in honor of the new prince, the future king. one at green park and the other at the tower of london. no sign of baby or kate or william. we are told it might be tomorrow before we see them. there is that salute. everyone remembers the iconic pictures on the stairs behind me that was charles and diana when they first brought out prince william emerging from those doors showing him off to the

world for the first time. when will that happen? we don't know. what is his name? we don't know. what we know, obviously, is that he was born yesterday 4:24 p.m. london time weighing in at 8 pounds, 6 ounces. i want to bring in stick able. he is a royal watcher and one time with the press office. good to see you. >> how is it going? it's extraordinary. extraordinary. like you say 20 minutes ago, everyone was just sitting eating their sandwiches and they are very excited because something is happening. >> i wonder if it was like this 31 years ago? >> it wasn't. a lot more well-wishers and a lot of more pictures. now people are coming down. >> let's talk about the decision that is being made. you know in situations how these decisions are made, what the conversation is. now, this morning, when we first thought they might come out the skies opened up. there was a torrential rain

storm. i said the hairdresser is in there and she will not come out now. what kind of considerations are there, obviously, how she is feeling and how the baby is doing and when they might come out? >> william's big thing is protecting kate. always has been. he regards the extra as sort necessary evil. while a lot of the coordination is how to fit into the media the main consideration for him and therefore her is how she is feeling and if she wants to sleep a few hours i suspect that is what she will do. >> i've heard it's a luxurious suite in there and we will talk about that coming up. that is his main concern but people are thinking about other things. one of them is i think we have seen that picture of him being brought out by charles and diana about a hundred million times. that is an iconic picture. this will be an iconic picture of the future king and you want it to be right. >> absolutely. the thing that will be remembered for 20, 30, 50 years. this baby may not be king for 50 years.

we are looking at long time in the future as he is introduced into the world. >> i think there probably is a bittersweet moment there and have to be as well for the prince thinking about coming out here. he has seen that picture so many times and diana obviously not being here. but does the fact she raised them in a different way than royals had ever been -- here we go! here we go! we are going to go down. we are going to watch this. let's talk about what we're seeing here. >> is this the middletons? >> this is. this is the first we have known that any of the parents have been here to visit the family. >> taxi! >> there is carol and michael middleton arriving at the hospital! they have not seen their grandson yet, their first grandson. >> there they go! >> such an exciting time for

them but you can just imagine. >> i used to advise them a little bit. that they had no concept whatsoever about how famous they will become. and now as they go in there the whole media world goes crazy for them. >> no sign of pippa. one of the things by the way, there has been betting on is what color dress pippa will wear. this is how crazed it's become. >> when the wedding happened pippa didn't try her dress on until the day before. i was talking to the family. they had no real clue that iconic figure pippa would become. she has become one of the most famous in the world and they had no concept that was about to happen. >> i think seeing the parents brings us back to the question we were yelled at to get down and the parents came in. this is a won kate middleton brought up in a middle class family. they have become quite successful with their party business. she was brought up normally compared to william and diana

made it really a priority of hers that her sons would have, quote/unquote, normal experiences taking them to disney and going out with them as normal you could get when you were diana with the future king. what does that tell us about the kind of parents we think that kate and william will be? >> i think they will be extremely particular. i would used to go between the palace and media about giving william a normal childhood. he was able to go to university. i think william and kate looking for something similar. this is the era of social media. they will be able to do deals with the newspapers and media and this child is growing up in a world where everyone is a paparazzi and everybody will be following every single move that they make and i think william and kate will see it as a huge priority to him that but he will be growing up in a world completely different to the

relatively secluded world of william and harry. >> this couple seems to be very much in love and what attracts people. when i asked people why they stood in the rain and we interviewed team drenched out here and hoping to catch a glimpse, i said what are you doing? so many of them said it feels so good and they love each other and it makes you feel good about them which was not, sadly, the kind of household that william was brought up. >> william was an angelic child and unhappy marriage and his mother died. notice a beautiful young woman, there are always cynics in britain and people are uncomfortable about being yooverlsly happy. sun is poking out around britain and people happy about something nice. >> thank you so much for talking to us. great to see you. there has been a lot of excitement at buckingham palace and keir simmons is standing by

there. >> people are here. it's difficult to get a look at it at first because of the crowds crowding around. so you have to wait a little while and wait your turn, if you like. here too the queen here. the royal standard flag that indicates she is in residence in one of her pallas is flying high above buckingham palace. that means we know she is here and she got here yesterday before the announcement. of course, one of the questions being talked about here is whether or not she will be one of the members of the royal family who goes to visit william and kate and her new heir in the hospital there. so we wait to see that. we may see her leave here. that may be the first indication. >> absolutely. thank you so much, keir simmons. there is this excitement here wanting to know when they are

going to be able to see the future king, the brand-new baby. in the meantime, they really are as ma tern its wards go gin the lap of luxury. yesterday i talked to a mom who delivered both of her children in lindo. here is what she told me about what it's like in there. >> when you walk in there it's like walking into a very five-star hotel. >> quite posh? >> absolutely. security guards on the door. very important people rushing around looking after you. and the room that you go into, again, you have your own bed with a duvet rather than the ordinary sheets and blankets. it has curtains and a television and fridge and freezer and bathroom and your hand soaps and bathrooms and towels. it is great and it's luxury. when i had mine, my consultant said you can go home now. i said, you know what? can i say an extra couple of nights? i didn't want to leave.

>> but they? >> insurance company did. enough is enough. you can go. >> i presume kate can stay as long as she wants. >> she absolutely can. absolutely. >> we assume that the royal couple there is very, very comfortable and now, obviously, getting a visit from kate middleton's parents. we will be back a little while later. we are going to talk about some of the other frenzy that is going on, including what will this new child be named betses his royal highness. more on that coming up live from london. now let's send it back to richard lui. good morning. >> good morning. if we don't get to see the royal couple until tomorrow it means another day of what is the world's largest baby party there in london. see you later. thank you, chris. laguardia airport is fully reopened yesterday after a hard landing of a southwest 737. >> the whole plane just went down very quickly and that is when the door blew in. >> how hard was the jolt? >> it was -- it was a kick.

>> you heard the pilots go holy cow! i looked off the right side of the plane and there was just this fireball going down the runway. it was unbelievable. >> nbc kristen dahlgren is live a laguardia for us this hour. this could have been much worse. it was the nose gear, not the main gear that failed. it was at the end of the flight when fuel levels were lower so that might be some saving graces there? >> reporter: absolutely, richard. and you better believe that the passengers that we spoke to here last night knew that it could have been much worse. they were pretty relieved just to be getting off of that plane safely. only ten injuries, mostly bumps and bruises and a couple of panic attacks, totally understand ble when you look at that video and see what they went through. the investigation really just getting under way now. they have moved the plane off the runway. they have reopened laguardia airport but the ntsb looking into what happened last night. for several hours they interviewed the passengers

trying to see what anyone saw or felt before the crash. so they are just trying now to look at exactly what happened and what went wrong. >> kristen, thank you so much for the latest at the laguardia airport for you us. a new national poll finds reaction to the george zimmerman verdict is divided along racial line. 80% of blacks surveyed here are dissatisfied with the verdict. only 33% of whites surveyed are satisfied with that outcome. more than a week after his acquittal zimmerman is back in the headlines after police say he helped the victims of a car accident. nbc's mark potter has details from sanford, florida, for us. good day to you. >> reporter: good morning, richard. behind me is where the accident occurred. a one-car rollover on this highway ramp. you can see a warning sign over my shoulder. this is the place where police say george zimmerman and another man helped a family get out of that vehicle. >> we, the jury, find george

zimmerman, not guilty. >> reporter: the incident four days after george zimmerman was found not guilty in his second-degree murder trial. police say last wednesday an suv carrying two adults and their two children was traveling northbound on the off ramp of highway 417 at interstate 4 when the driver lost control and went off the road and the vehicle rolled over. witnesses call a 911 noted some people had already stopped to help. >> i'm here with other team rushing toward the people joot sheriff's county office said one of the good samaritans was george zimmerman. in statement the office said when a deputy arrived at the scene, two men one of whom was george zimmerman, had already helped assist the family by getting them out of the overturned vehicle. the statement said zimmerman was not a witness to the crash and left after making contact with the deputy. no injuries were reported. zimmerman's brother robert tweeted, george saw a need. he acted. our parents taught us to help, never to boast.

humility is george's finest trait. while the verdict has many people divided over issues of race and self-defense, zimmerman's attorney mark o'mara said he is not surprised by zimmerman's actions along the highway. >> that is just what he does. the idea that he would stop and offer aid to somebody in need in a car just makes sense. that's who he always has been. >> reporter: meanwhile on another matter, the sanford police department says it has turned over all of the evidence from the trial, including goeore zimmerman's handgun to the fbi as the justice department looks into whether there were civil rights violations in this case. >> mark potter in sanford, thank you so much. major league baseball is cracking down on a prominent player for performance-enhancing drugs. the league suspended brewer's ryan braun for the rest of the season without pay. braun will not appeal and issued a statement that read in part i realize now i have made some mistakes. i wish to apologize to anyone i

may have disappointed. i'm glad to have this matter behind me once and for all and i cannot wait to get back to the game i love, end quote. this is a bit of a reversal. in 2012, braun fought and won an appeal on a different suspension and said this. take a listen. >> if i had done this intentionally or unintentionally i would be the first one to step up and say i did it. by no means am i perfect but if i've ever made any mistakes in my life, i've taken responsibility for my actions. i truly believe in my heart and i would bet my life that this substance never entered my body at any point. >> major league baseball did not release the specifics of what led to the suspension but it's believed to be related to reports of braun's alleged involvement with a clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs to various players.

president obama heads to illinois tomorrow kicking off a white house push to focus attention on the economy with a speech at knox college. the first of three speeches this week. the president gave a preview of his jobs message last night. >> it's going to be the kickoff to what is essentially several months of us trying to get washington and the press to refocus on the economy. >> on the hill, democratic women in the house are out with an economic agenda of their own. joining me now is one of the campaign's leaders dynamic rosa who is from connecticut. a lot on your agenda here in that we expect to hear from the president as well that there are ideas that have been tried before. some might ask mere why might we

have a different outcome this time around? >> first of all, let me just say, yeah, the issue is the economy. the president is going to focus in on the economy. and look at the opportunity for education and for jobs and for those efforts that help people on the job. what leader pelosi and myself and other democratic women are focused on is what is happening to women in our economy. and today all women and most particularly unmarried women, women who are single and widowed and divorced or separated are under tremendous financial pressures. women make 77 cents on the dollar. two-thirds of women are minimum wage workers. >> which is absolutely -- >> unaffordable. all of those things are critical, so our effort is to focus in on the financial pressures that women are facing today so that it helps them and their families. >> but how is it different this time around? what is different with this

push? >> good question. the effort is listening to women all over the country. what we have tried to do is the issues that they focus on fall into three areas. one is pay. one is that family -- work family balance. and child care. and with regard to pay, we are looking at pay equity, increasing the minimum wage, providing educational opportunity for women's. jobs. so that they can succeed. with regard to that work family balance, if you provide a paid family a leave, that allows women to be able to take the opportunity to be with an elderly parent or a child. most people today, men and women who work in the private sector do not have one paid sick day. those help on the job. affordable care. that is a singular issue that

women are faced today. what happens to your children while you are working? this push stays away from some of the social issues that were brought up during the so-called war on women when you look at your economic equality effort in this current approach and your agenda, is the idea here that you might be able to bring along more women voters, more women elected so you could change the balance of power in congress? is that part of what you're doing and leader pelosi? >> no. what the issue is we are responding to the economic needs. women are really struggling today in this economy. as i said, particularly women who are single, widowed, divorced or separated. that's a reality. they want to raise their income. they want equal pay. they want increase in minimum wages. they want to have educational opportunities for their ability

to succeed for themselves, for their families, and to have a better quality of life. that's what we are focused on. >> thank you so much for your time today, dynamic, fcongressw >> you bet. >> the administration's plan to armed the syrian rebels was signed off and at the same time the pentagon is laying out the cost of other military options that list clgs training troops and conducting air strikes and enforcing a no-fly zone and laid out in a letter sent from dempsey to senate armed services committee carl levin. it requires ships and submarines that cost in the billions of dollars. ou wanna, wanna ♪ ♪ don't you ♪ don't you want to see me flaunt what i got? ♪ oh. ♪ don't you ♪ don't you wanna, wanna ♪ don't you ♪ don't you wanna, wanna stress sweat is different than heat and activity sweat -- it smells worse. secret clinical strength gives you four times the protection

another lawmaker is trying to throw a monkey wrench into obama care. republican senator of utah saying he is lined up more than a dozen republicans willing to shut down the government to prevent the president's health care law from taking effect. >> if republicans in both houses simply refuse to vote for any continuing resolution that kans further funding for further enforcement of obama care, we can stop it. we can stop the individual mandate from going into effect. >> while some lawmakers set up road blocks there is a growing group of lawmakers trying to break through the partisan gridlock. congressman peter welsh and congressman corey garner among some 82 lawmakers, at least by one count, joining the bipartisan group called no labels. congressmen, good to see you. congressman gardner we have gangs of six, eight, 12 you maim it and many fall apart.

yours is called over 80 members, a super gang. how is your group's approach different this time around? >> peter and i are part of the organization no labels problem solvers if you follow us on twitter and putting together and agenda of nine bipartisan bills that can move this country forward everything from how we are handling procurement issues to energy efficiency that the congressman welch and i are working on together. i think we are going to take those words and turn them into action because this is more than just simply saying this is what we are going to do. this is about actually getting it done. >> you know, no labels as you have self-named yourself recently as you were saying put out the nine different bills called make government work. now just list several of them that are on that list, including getting rid of duplication agencies and programs and stopping year-to-year budget increases and noofg a two year budget process here that is some of the nine out there at the moment.

representative gardner why these nine and how are you going get this done different than other groups have? >> i think it's recognition while we have arguments over spending and have arguments over what to do on the economy or the environment that there are areas of common ground and i said at the announcement that common ground leadership leads to common sense solutions and that is what these nine bills represent. >> representative welch, go ahead. >> we are at stall speed in congress and not talking to one another. cory and i come out of state legislatures we were dealing with republicans and democrats and dealing with people we disagreed with and cory and i disagree on a lot of top line issues. if you're going to be a politician and legislate move people ahead, let's move ahead. the thing we are both hear from people we represent is why don't you guys get together and get something done. when i was senate president in

vermont, i pointed three republicans to chairman committee and it had nothing to do with being a good guy but recognition you had to have everybody at the table to get a solution that would move you ahead. not perfection but progress. >> representative welsh, few would argue with your inten here at all. if you can get nine done, folks will take it. if you can get 82 representatives, 82 lawmakers to agree, few would argue with that. but when you look at -- you've been around for almost three years, i think? and when you look at some of the legislative achievements and key ones in front of us, those have not necessarily been issues you've been involved in. some might ask where is the meat when it comes to no labels? >> actually, the problem is in the house. we haven't been able to do anything on a bipartisan base. the accomplishments you just mentioned the senate has managed to make some progress this year. it has been on a bipartisan

basis. what we are understanding is, again, cory and i disagree on a lot of things but we both feel a common responsibility to find where do we agree and make progress on that. we are having a tough time breaking down the partisan barriers to progress in the house. >> representative gardner, how will you break down those barriers and how will you start to tackle some of those really big issues i was talking about? >> i think it starts with a lot of the work that we are doing. we are talking about budget reform. every time i go to a town meeting somebody brings up a point that says how come washington just says we are not going count any of the spending you did last year in this year's budget? only place in america a decrease in the rate of increase is a cut. recognition of that very problem within the package of nine bills that we have our bill that would save taxpayers $5 billion creating private sector jobs getting america back to work and making our buildings more energy efficient at the federal level are good things and we take these victories, these steps and we can translate it into major

victories for the american people. >> a lot of americans are hoping the two of you can get it done and no labels and it's energy is successful going forward. thank you both. i like to call the super gang, no labels, appreciate your time today. >> thank you. brazil is calm as it gears up with a big day with the pope in rio de janeiro tomorrow. monday was a different seen when he arrived in brazil. thousands of people rushing his car when it got stuck in traffic. the john paul, ii unfazed a-- t was unfazed. protesters overnight in rio. claudio is live in rio de janeiro this morning watching all of that for us. what can you tell us about these reports and is the vatican concerned about security should things continue this way? >> reporter: the vatican has admitted through his spokesperson in rio mistakes were made when the pope's car

took the wrong turn and ended up into a busy taxi lane and bus lane and where this crowd almost mobbed the pope. he has said the pope a no time the pope was in real danger. even though jokingly he said the pope's assistant freaked out. the pope -- all along and he appreciated the warm welcoming of the brazilian peep. one of the vatican web sites this morning a commentary who said that their heads were shaking when those images you just saw there and heads will roll. of course, this is strong words and contradictory statement compared to the one that spokesperson relieved last night. when there is no doubt that there was a moment there, a situation almost was out of control with security guards trying to fend off the crowd, but the pope you see is not making it easy for the security

people there because he decided that he doesn't want the bullet proof popemobile here in rio and he went one step maybe too far yesterday when he drove through this massive crowd with his car window rolled down, richard. >> this pope has been said to be very different and proving that out so far in brazil and tomorrow is a big day there. we will be going back to you. claudio is live for us in brazil, appreciate it. checking the news feed this morning for you, afghan officials confirmed to nbc that three americans were killed today after an ied detonated in eastern afghanistan. they were all service members for the international security assistance force and their names have not been relieved. this morning iraqi security forces searching for 500 militants who broke out of abu great britain pris ghraib prison. on sunday, attackers launched a military style assault freeing the militants including dozens

the divers in the water taking pictures when the whales came to the surface and chase something food. the diver said he thought he was going to get hit by the massive tail. >> i worked my way over to the boat. got up on the back of it as soon as i could. the other guys said they had never seen me swim that fast before and i can see now why as i watched the video. >> i can imagine that. he said the whales were so close, he could have touched them. college students may be going deeper into debt. mom and dad are cutting back at the same time. jackie is with us moving your money. details of a new survey here, jackie, that finds cash-strapped parents can't contribute as much. >> that's absolutely right. it's a time when tuition costs are rising and kids look to their parents for help but the bank of mom and dad seems to be closed. on average, parents contributing just under 6,000 for each kid in the 2012/2013 academic year and down from the 30% that the nearly 9,000 they were shelling

out in 2009 and 2010 year. it means student have to borrow more money to get through school and it will probably take them longer to pay those loans off when they graduate. >> jackie, i don't know if you heard about this birth thing that has been happening over in england at all but let's talk about monetizing the monarchy. >> right. we have all been waiting for the royal baby. many relieved that he is finally here. but you're right. it's been a great opportunity for companies to play on this theme in their advertising. my favorite is the twinkie ad likening the rebirth of the snack cake to a baby who doesn't love the twinkie who doesn't love the royal baby but playdo is in on the action as well. they have got the balcony theme there. >> a nice one. >> kate and william made out of playdo. oreo is getting in on the action. they are marketing a cookie in a bolts and then you've got this royal throne. can you even imagine that? >> no. really? >> analysts saying it will probably not stop there.

royal enthusiasts will watch this kid like a hawk. >> i think charmin has it rolled up for us. good stuff there, jackie.

thousands of protesters storm the north carolina legislative building last night. they are protesting the state's republican agenda a movement they are calling mother-in-law mondays. nbc spoke with the leaders and is live in california with us is mara schiavocampo. what were the protesters focusing on yesterday? >> good morning, richard. yesterday's theme was voting right. both in response to the recent supreme court ruling as well as proposed changes to voter i.d. laws here in the state of north carolina. now, they drew about 3,000 people for their rally and organizers say that is consistent with the numbers that they have been seeing in recent werks bringing in 3 thousand to you to 5,000 people every monday for these events. now every week has a different theme. past themes have included things like women's rights or cuts to unemployment funding but organizers say that the main goal is to protect the

vulnerable from what they perceive as a tax from the gop dominated legislature but they say it's called moral monedays. they want to draw attention to the moral issues behind a lot of the proposed legislation they are seeing in the state. here is how the events work. first, a big public rally at an outdoor space where you see thousands of gathering and you hear a lot of speakers and people carrying signs and the like. a portion of that group braekea off when they move into the legislative building and when they refuse to leave they are arrested. when this first started the first week 17 people were arrested. since then, more than 900 people have been arrested over the course of the 12 weeks. yesterday 73 were taken into custody. >> we don't believe we should be arrested. but what we are saying is we are willing to be arrested if you try to take away our constitutional right because we are willing to go to jail, if

necessary, to dramatize how unjust these policies are. >> reporter: that was the reverend barber of the north carolina chapter of the naacp. he has been the organizing force behind all this. the big question, how long will they keep this up? they say until the legislative session ends and that could be this week but they say when lawmakers come back they will be back with them. >> it seems like it's very calm over all. who are the protesters? >> this is organized by the naacp but the people who come out far exceed what you would expect from an naacp event just from eyeballing the crowd yesterday it seemed to be that there were as many if not more white supporters than black supporters. it is a very racially diverse group and in terms of age you see people bring their children

up to retirees. >> thank you so much, mara schiavocampo. today's tweet from a reporter for the nation who writes 318,000 registered voters in north carolina don't have state issued i.d. 34% of them black and 55% dems. he includes a link to his blog #moralmonday.

we are back live in london and the middletons are still visiting their new grandkid. we just gotten a briefing from a royal spokesperson who still cannot confirm whether or not kate and william will introduce their new baby son to the world this evening or tomorrow morning. we do know though, when it happens they will come out on these steps just as charles and diana did when william was born 31 years ago, that there will ab car waiting for them and they will strap him into that car seat and we will get some comments from prince william at

that point. where they go from there we don't know but we expect that they will announce that then. they do have a small two bedroom apartment at kensington while their new apartment is being renovated but we are told it doesn't have air-conditioning so we will see whether or not they choose with the baby to go back there. the other big question besides where are they going to live is what will the baby be named. there is a betting frenzy here among the betting houses is patty power. i want to bring in rory scott who is with patty. george is 7-4 odds. james 4-1. followed by alexander, arthur, lewis, henry. >> george is the consistent front-runner from day one. taking $150,000 the last day on that. the together markets past 500,000 pounds. is that $750,000? this is huge. >> four and five finger bets on this, right? >> very much so. george specifically and james,
