and sports spectacular. it is one of the biggest weekend ever for sports fans. from the kentucky derby to the nfl draft and basketball and hockey playoffs and the biggest battle of all. the fight of the century. manny pacquiao versus floyd mayweather jr. today, saturday may 2nd 2015. >> announcer: from nbc news this is "today" with lester holt and erica hill. live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> welcome to "today" on this saturday morning. i'm erica hill. >> i'm thomas roberts in for lester who will join us from baltimore. we have dylan dreyer live at churchill downs where the 141st running of the kentucky derby will take place later today. we see you have a nice fascinator right there. >> we have been taking bets. >> the fascinator.

the duchess of cambridge giving birth to a baby girl an hour ago. >> she went into the hospital at 1:00 london time. the princess weighs 8 pounds and 3 ounces. the big question now we know it is a girl the name. we don't know that yet. we know there are plenty of celebrations in store in london. bells will ring at westminster abbey. the streets and the london eye will be lit in that color to celebrate the birth of the new princess. >> we have two guards standing watch outside of the private wing of the hospital where kate has been in labor. nbc's kelly cobiella is live as well. kelly, good morning. royal baby watch is over. >> reporter: it is over. what a cheer you heard through the crowd this morning when the announcement was made. that was the first indication we got of the royal fans letting out a roar. before we knew it we had an announcement from kensington

palace saying a baby girl had been born. prince william drove kate to the hospital early this morning london time. just two and a half hours later, she gave birth to a princess. prince george's reign as an only child is over. his baby sister arrived a short time ago. kensington palace tweeting her royal highness safely delivered a daughter at 8:34 a.m. new princess will knock uncle harry down to fifth in line for the throne. the new king or queen order, charles and william and prince george and his little sister and finally prince harry. betting on the baby's gender was heavy. most thinking the baby would be a girl. and they were right. now the happy family is resting comfortably at the same hospital

where prince william was born and prince harry two years later. like harry, the new royal will be a spare to the heir. a role that has its own responsibilities. but for now, it's time to celebrate the newest members of the royal family. so what's next? the town cryer made the big announcement in front of the hospital. well wishers are gathering here and at buckingham palace awaiting for the proclamation at the spot. once again, back to the hospital here. when george was born prince william and kate stayed the night with prince george and coming out the front door to a huge line of cameras the next day introducing him to the world. we know they will be leaving through the front door. we just don't know when.

will it be today or tomorrow? of course the other big question mark. the name. alice, charlotte, elizabeth? we don't know. erica and thomas? >> exactly. thank you. kelly cobiella thank you. we have royal expert with us this morning. good morning. >> good morning. >> this all happened quickly from the time we got the notice until we got the birth announcement which was exciting. people have been waiting. do we know the big question? the name. do we have a sense of the timing on when we may know? >> reporter: no sense at all. we will probably get an indication today. my sources are suggesting that kate will leave here at some point today. this will be done and dusted by this evening. she has given birth in quick time. two and a half hours. not say that made it easy. labor is never easy.

sources here is a the picture is changing rapidly. it would not be a surprise for parents out there that this couple may want to leave sooner or later to introduce the little girl to her brother prince george. any parents know that is the important focus for new parents of a second child. they want to introduce the newborn to the existing child and they want to do that away from the media. kate could come in here this morning and have the baby and be back at home time for dinner that could be something, couldn't it? >> that would be a lot. as a woman who had two babies more power to her if she can pull that off. when you talk about george and visitors. in her leaving as soon as tonight, is that more of an effort to keep the cameras off george and allow them a better or comfortable visiting time with parents as opposed to having everybody come to the hospital? >> reporter: possibly yes.

kensington palace is not confirming if prince george is brought here by the nanny or charles and camilla. remember two years ago, almost, we did have the middletons coming in and charles coming to the hospital. this is different. the focus is on prince george and making sure the introduction is smooth. that said prince william did visit prince harry, born a saturday all those years ago. they may want to repeat history. it is a rapidly moving process behind closed doors. they are making decisions by the minute. >> everybody awaiting news of the name. have we heard anything from the queen? any reaction? >> reporter: well, we know the queen was one of the first to be informed. william informed close family and friends of the baby and before the press found out. she is at richmond castle 200

miles north on a military engagement with the duke of york. she will be kept abreast of the situation. prince charles always wanted a baby granddaughter. >> camilla, thank you. we want to head to baltimore with a relative night of calm after the arrest of six officers in the death of freddie gray. they were all charged. in just a moment we will speak to the state attorney who brought charges against the officers. we begin with lester who spent a good deal of time in baltimore covering the story for us. lester you were there for "nightly news" last night. good morning. nice to have you with us. >> reporter: good morning, erica. those who expected charges, were stunned by how quickly they came down and laid out a very disturbing scenario. it says freddie gray's neck was broken after being face down in

the police wagon. he was shackled and there was no seatbelt. the officers charged had several opportunities to render him medical aid and failed to do so. the six accused officers scene in the mug shots released friday. their arrests come 19 days after their part in the arrest of freddie gray for carrying a knife at the city's chief prosecutor says was not illegal. >> lieutenant rice officer miller and officer nero failed to establish probable cause for mr. gray's arrest. no crime had been committed by mr. gray. >> reporter: state's attorney marilyn mosby says the officers ignored the pleas for help as he was held face down on the pavement. he was loaded face down on the floor of the van and his request for a doctor was denied. >> he suffered a critical neck injury as a result of handcuffed

and shackle by his feet and unrestrained in the wagon. >> reporter: video shows officers did stop the van at one point to check on gray but allegedly, he receives no help. it's when officers stopped to pick up another prisoner, they discover gray is unconscious and call a medic. the van driver faces the most serious charge. second-degree murder. four also charged with involuntary manslaughter. three with false imprisonment. all accused of assault and misconduct. baltimore police union leaders are demanding a special prosecutor take over the case. >> i have never seen such a hurried rush to file criminal charges. >> reporter: gray's family welcome the charges. >> today is a momentous step on the road to justice. >> reporter: some celebrations of the arrest turned ugly friday night when a few protesters defied the citywide curfew clashing with police. still, in contrast to tuesday's

broader violence. gray's death has only reinforced distrust of police in some baltimore communities. including latish walker's youngest son. >> what are you afraid of? >> i don't know. i'm scared. >> it is difficult how to behave when they are not doing anything wrong. >> reporter: another large demonstration planned here today. it was to be a protest. organizers are calling it a victory rally. they anticipate as many as 10,000 erica. >> lester you mentioned and we saw overnight, a fairly calm and peaceful reaction. i still notice it looks like a tank behind you. is that what we are seeing? >> reporter: behind me well this is where that skermish took place in front of city hall. national guard maintaining this line here. calm at this hour of the morning. we expect a lot of people for the rally later.

>> it will be busy. lester nice to have you with us. thank you. >> marilyn mosby is the state attorney handling the case. you heard her in lester's piece. marilyn, it is great to have you here. police are coming out and the fop and union saying this is an egregious rush to charge the six officers. how do you respond? >> i think that is absurd. for my investigative team from the beginning and at the outset we sent investigators and we spent between 12 and 14 hours a day trying to get to the bottom of this and what happened in this case. the baltimore police department dedicated about 50 detectives to try to get to the bottom of the case. i think that is absolutely absurd. >> when you say that is absurd and you talk about the fact you did your independent investigation, i have the statement of charges here that talks about the fact that

freddie was charged with a switch blade or spring-activated knife. has your office seen the evidence? have you seen the evidence and you know for yourself this was not an unlawful knife? >> what i can tell you is exactly what i stated yesterday. what's in the statement of probable cause. i can tell you we did an independent investigation, my investigators went to the scene and spoke to witnesses. i went to the scene. i spoke to witnesses. i can't get too far into the details of the case because it is a pending matter. i can tell you that everything that is indicated in the statement of probable cause is accurate. >> so mrs. mosby, let me ask you about the neighborhood where freddie was apprehended. i was in baltimore all week. on most of the corners of buildings there, there are citywide cameras. in the spot there is a camera there as well. there is no video that exists of his full takedown and arrest from that camera correct?

>> i can't tell you what evidence we have. again, this is a pending investigation. i can tell you that we reviewed hours of cctv footage. >> let's talk about one thing you have been combating against the fact there are people from the fraternal order of police saying there is a conflict of interest because your husband is a council member and you live in the district where freddie gray lives and grew up. what do you say in response to that? can you handle this on your own? >> i say that is absolutely absurd. i am the baltimore city state's attorney. i prosecute every crime within the jurisdiction of baltimore city including my own jurisdiction. i live in the heart of west baltimore raising two girls. i don't see what the conflict of interest is. i have to prosecute every crime that takes place in the city of baltimore. >> marilyn mosby. >> my husband is a lawmaker and i enforce the laws.

>> marilyn mosby, thank you for taking time. we appreciate it. there is an urgent appeal for help in the area of nepal after the devastation and earthquake. sheinelle is following that for us. >> good morning. officials say many survivors of last week's earthquake are still cut off from help and in desperate need of food and tents. this as u.n. officials say aid is held up at customs. u.s. marines are set to help with relief operations today. thing death toll is now close to 7,000. a dangerous warehouse fire is burning in ohio this morning. authorities are asking people living near a columbus recycling plant to stay inside shut the windows or find shelter. fire officials warn smoke from the fire is toxic. the fire broke out friday and is still burning. it will likely take the weekend to put out the flames. thousand are without power. b.b. king says he is

receiving hospice care at home in las vegas. the 89-year-old posted the news on his web site friday. back in october, the rock 'n' roll hall of famer canceled shows. he was diagnosed with diabetes decades ago. and yankees alex rodriguez tied willie mays for fourth place in major league history with the 660th home run. rodriguez was pinch hitting in the eighth inning tie in fenway on friday. it led to a 3-2 victory. rodriguez is playing his first season since suspended last season in the doping scandal. back to you. >> a major accomplishment. a-rod is back. yankees fans are forgiving him. it happened at fenway. >> thanks sheinelle. dylan is in kentucky this morning for the 141st running of the kentucky derby later today. looking fabulous with that hat. >> in her derby wear.

>> it's another hat. she has done a fashion change since the top of the show. >> this is a bigger hat. let's be honest that's why i'm here. i'm here to showcase. >> i have my eyes on you, dylan. i see what you're doing. >> yes, just watch. they'll change throughout the show. that's why i'm here. the 141st running of the kentucky derby as churchill downs. it is the longest continually run sporting event and fastest two minutes in sports. we are looking for a gorgeous day here in louisville kentucky where temperatures will eventually warm up. i'm trying to pretend it is warm. it is a chilly morning. we will see lots of sunshine. temperatures in the mid-70s. we had rain on thursday. that was it for this weekend. we are looking at just a gorgeous temperature for the race later today. mid-70s by this evening. we are looking at a nice warm up
