7:05 am
the taliban has been weakened in terms of their leadership there. given those conditions, the question is can they replicate the success of that offensive in marja with this new offensive now? >> reporter: they're trying, they're pushing the tiban northward. we're in an area they said was secure. not far from where we were, they actually found another roadside bomb and detonated it. the general is confident they can replicate that kind of success, at least in helmand province. and lester will be anchoring live from bagram air basen the "today" show and on nbc's nightly news. 27 coal miners were missing, now rescuers are concerned whether the miner who is may be trapped below can get enough air. as meredith mentioned earlier, a central ohio town the

7:09 am
royalty. one thing we do know is tha when it does happen, the whole world will be watching. westminster abbey the great church of kings and queens. w expected to host the wedding of the century, a wedding that's a delicate balancing act for wiiam and kate. >> i think by our standards, it's going to be very grand, but by royal wedding standards, it will definitely be more modest than charles and diana's. it will very glamorous, a lot of pomp and circumstance, but it won't be over the top. >> the queen and charles are expected to foot much of the bill. it is likely several heads of state including president and michelle obama will be invited.
7:10 am
there's precedent, nancy reagan attended charles and diana's wedding. >> reporter: ifride and groom walk down this storied aisle, it will be just anoer wedding for this monument. walking behind her coffin, along with little prince harry. ♪ now you belong to heaven >> reporter: that memory will soon be replaced by a joyous one. now a young man of 28 who will be become a husband and future king. it is one of england's most famous churches. >> the royal church, the history goes back 1,000 years, this is a church where he will be

ultimately crowned. so the ties with this church run very, very deep indeed. >>eporter: 17 monarchs are entombed there, queen elizabeth i who signed her death waant. both prince william's grandmother and great grandmother were married here. also during a recession as england emerged from war. it was the first time television cameras were allowed to capture a royal wedding. five years later, also in the abbey, elizabeth was crowned queen. one wedding that did not take place in the abbey, that of prince charles and lady diana in 1981. that fair y fairy tale didn't lt
7:12 am
william and kate's more modest marriage will stand the test of time. the british prime minister has declared tt the wedding day will be a national day of celebration and he also wants this to be a holiday so that everyone here can joy it. meredith, better start looking for a hat, you'll need it. >> for more on prince willi and kate's wedding plans, let's bring in the royal editor of the uk paper, the express. camilla, good morning to you. good mornin guys. >> so many questions around this wedding, including where this wedding will be held. we know that kate middleton and her sister visited westminster abbey a few days ago. >> just because there was a photograph of kate here and no one called her doesn't
7:13 am
necessarily this going to be the venue. it's just the leading horse of a two-horserace. >> we all have an image of prince william as a 15-year-old boy walking into the abbey behind his mother's casket. that place would have sad memories for prince william? >> the gene got married there, the queen mother got married there, it was t site of the queen's coronation and people moressociate diana's funeral. first of all they associate diana's death with france. but it's going to be a bright and cheery occasion, that hean go over at. st. pa . >> tom bradley the only
7:14 am
journalist who interviewed the couple after their engagement announcement, he believes it's going to be in the march, the wedding. what are you hearing? >> i'm hearing obviously that the top pick is going to be march. i know that photographers here, particularly, don't want it t be march because you guys are familiar with the english weather, it might be raining, that's the last thing we want. so the photographers are all saying they want it in june so it will be a bright and happy occasion. >> you mentioned william's parents when they got married. the country was in a recession back then with unemployment rates that were even highe than it is now. but they chose to have a very lavish affair. talk about the balancing act for the royal family now trying to bring some joy to the country obviously a a tough time while so being mindful of the fact that the economy is so bad for
7:15 am
so many people? >> it is a very careful balancing act. we associate charles and diana with success and greed andll the rest of it. why they can't get away from the fact that this is going to be a large scale event, they need to make se it's not too ostentatious. so of course there's going to be a huge guest list. they don't want it to be too showy. >> and finally, both the queen and prince charles are expected to foot much of the bill, but how much is going to fall on the taxpayers? >> inevitably the taxpayer is going to have to fund some of it because think of the security that goes around the royal wedding. you've got all of the royal family and all of the heads of state under one roof. that's going to cost money and the taxpayers pay for security
7:16 am
here. the taxpayer will bexpected to pay for the curity bill. it is 7:15 and now here's matt. >> there are new develments tied to a midair emergency involving the world's largest passenger jet. 450 people we aboard a quantas airlines jet a-380 forcing an emergencylanding. tom, good morning to you. >> reporter: what we now know about the multiple cascading -- we also are now hearing from quantas airlines that rolls royce may have known of a serious defect wh it's a-308 engines yet allowed the planes to continue flying. the home video of a hole in the left wing of quantas flight 32
7:17 am
is terfying enough, but we now know how lucky the crew and 450 passengers were to survive the midair explosion. when the plane's left engine exploded, debris apparently punctured two fuel lines, cut the control lines, served one of two hydraulic lines and shut down a power generator. even the front landing gear had to be manually lowered. flying the plane back to singapore took all the strength of the pilots and training pilots who happened to be on board that day. >> the pilot did a fantastic job. >> this was a major multiple emergency situation, it took five guys working together like astronauts on apollo 13 to get this plane safely down. >> reporter: the engine maker rolls royce had been shipping modified engines for the a-380
7:18 am
and not telling quantas airlines that the old engines had a defects. passengers continued to fly on the a-380s despite the risk. >> they may have miscalculated the risk. >> reporter: both rolls royce and airbus declined to comment, a catastrophic explosion like this one is called an uncontained engine failure, extremely rare in modern aviation. >> there are approximately 25 million flights in the world a year and we see abo 25 incidents and very, very rarely out of the 25 do we see an uncontained failure. >> reporter: while aviion authorities warned earlier this year that unusua wear on the engines could cause them to shut down in mid flight, a massive explosion wasn't predicted.
7:19 am
five international airlines fly the 380. and quantas remains grounded or it's a-380s are grounded. rolls royce may have to replace 40 engines. >> it's now 19 after the hour, here meredith. we are learning more this morning about the mysterious murder of veteran hollywood producer ronni chasen. detectives believe she was targeted. george lewis has the latest. >> reporter: a glittering hollywood premier for the movie "bu publicist ronni chasen can be spotted on the sidelines, the last picture of her alive. >> she was such a great person and to have such a violent, horrible thing happen just did
7:20 am
not compute at all. >> reporter: police say early tuesday morning chasen drove her mercedes down sunset boulevard in beverly hills, calling her voicemail at 12:22 a.m. to leave a to do list for the following day. as he turned on sunset, shots rang out. >> the likelihood of gunshots in this neighborhood is just so unlikely, i really didn't think that's what it was. >> reporter: chasen's car wound on the curbs, paramedics frantically worked on her, multip gunshots in her chest and took her to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. the hollywood reporter quoting an unnamed police official say police believe the killing was plannein advance. the theory is that another vehicle pulled up alongside chasen's mercedes and thehots were fired from that second car.
7:21 am
thursday night the mayor of beverly hills spoke out. >> from the angles, shadows and all that, we think that it was a straight angle. so it could have been an suv or a little bit higher car. >> people in hollywood are more than horrified, they are in absolute shock. >> reporter: cronni chasen workd on many films. her specially was movie music, representing film composures and musicians. >> she had timeless energy. >> reporter: police have removed items including computers from cha chasen's office and home. $25,000 have been offered for information leading to the capture of her killer or killers. for "today," george lewis, nbc

7:32 am
set to be deported back to the u.s. amy robach is here with details on that. >> their scuba diving honeymoon was supposed to be the happiest time in gabe and tena watson's life. now gabe could fight additional charges here in the u.s. after officials here promised he would not face the death penalty. >> reporter: for the honeymoon, the couple went on a week long scuba trip to australia's great barrier reef. it should have beenn adventure of a life sometimtimelifetime, bride, it ended in death. it happened after her very first dive into the ocean, in 100 feet of water. this chilling ima taken by another diver shows tina on the sea floor. gabe said his wife panicked and she was too heavy to bring to the surface. >> she was looking up, had both
7:33 am
of her arms out, stretched up, almost like looking at me, reaching her arms up to grab. >> reporter: australian authorities didn't believe his story, to them, gabe, a certified rescue diver didn't try to help his wife. he washarged with her murder. in a police re-enactment at the scene, investigators said gabe gripped his wife in a bear hug and then turned off her air supply, ending her life. gabe watson pleaded guilty to manslaughter and served 18 months in an australian prison. he was released earlier this month, but could still face murder charges back in alabama. prosecutors believe the motive may have been hatched long before the honeymoon. it sounds like the prosecutors are trying to build a ce in the united states that he lured her down there to kill her so that he could get her life insurance.
7:34 am
>> reporter: before agreeing to send watson back to the u.s. that sought a guarantee that he wouldn't face the death penalty if charged. will it b vindication for him or justice for tina? >> when it's just a 26-year-old girl on her honeymoon, tnking that she's starting her whole life, and then it's snatched away. >> reporter: details on the timing of watson's deportation have not been released, but an immigration spokesperson says it would be as soon as possible. >> amy, thank you very much. brett bloomston is gabe watson's attorney, gd morning to you. attorney general king, let me ask you right after the bat, this happened in australia, why does alabama have jurisdiction. >> there's a number of different
7:35 am
theorys that would give alabama jurisdiction diction. if h planned the crime in alabama, and if when he killed her he intended to come back to alabama to collect an insurance policy or otherwise befit from his crime. >> you don't think you're going to have a hard time proving jurisdiction in this case? >> the australian government now says they have received all the necessary assurances that if he comes ba to alabama, gabe watson will not face the death penay. you have apparently written a letter to the austrian officials saying he would note get a longer sentence than life in prison. >> we would seek a capital sentence if we believe that's what the facts warrant because to do otherwise was allow australia to water down alabama's laws just like they have watered down their laws. >> are you allowing australia to water down alabama's law now. >> we call it extortion in
7:36 am
alabama. that's what happens wn they say we won't allow you to pursue this, they have watered down our law, now they have watered down al alabama's law, it was made at the request of -- as attorney general in alabama, i do care what victims think. that's a pretty strong word. >> matt, the attorney general, the state of alabama and local legislators pushed the australian government to precute gabe watson for murder. that prosecution did not come for five years. after five years of investigations and matt pushing is only what prompd the australians to - >> it's absolutely ridiculous to theorize that gabe watt soften planned a murder of his wife, traveled halfway around the world where there's absolutely

7:46 am
talked aut what awaits his eldest son. >> reporter: do you have words of advice for your son william upon embarking on this in an even worst med environment? >> that's the problem, isn't it? cause there's constt lecturing and advice. so it isn't that easy. >> reporter: he's under a microscope already and he's just a helicopter pilot. don't take the advice of the media. >> reporter: but how could he possibly -- >> which is very intrusive, indeed and very difficult. and i feel for him deeply. because in my day, it was definitely not. >> reporter: do families like yours talk about how to be a monarch? >> no, there's really -- you pick it up as you go along, i think. probably at a very young age and it gradually dawns on you what
7:47 am
it is all about or what the implications are. you watch and your learn. >> reporter: while all eyes are on william and kate, prince charles, also looks toward his n future milesne. at age 62, when most people are starting to think about retirement, he's still waiting to become king. the people around you said please, avoid the k word, so i've done quite good today? >> it's much better now when i think about it. but he's much better -- it's something that if he comes to it, regrettably it can deliver his own currency which is not so niceo say the least. so it's better not to think too much about it, exceptf it comes, then you have to deal with it. >> reporter: and then there's the question of camilla, the

honor on tuesday. the hhest military honor that this country can award to one of its citizens and you were at the white house and you met the president, he put that medal around your neck, you were at the pentagon, inducted into the hall of heroes. can you even sum up the emoons of this week, sergeant? >> it's been awesome and exciting and fun and crazy and nerve-racking and -- >> emotiona >> emotial and great, but it's also reminding me of a lot of the things that people hav given for the united states. d all of those words, i guess i would have more words if i had a dictionary, it's been a lot. >> colonel jack jacobs who wor for us at nbc and another recipient of the medal of honor told us some things, he said you will very quickly realize with this honor thatou are no longer just you, that the medal of honor is heavy to wear for a
8:39 am
reason, it comes with great weight. do you thi do you understand what he's talking about? >> i am beginning to understand exactly what he's talking about. this isn't for me. i am the one wearing it, but this is for so many people who didn't come back from iraq or afghanistan and from all the wars in the past and all the unsung heroes who's stories ver got documented as well as mine. >> you story is unbelievable. you were in afghanistan, and yo group was ambushed by taliban fighters and we have a diagram that just sho some of what happened, they attacked you in an l formation, basically, and they were shooting at you from two sis. and they were close. i was reading an account of this and it said they werwithin the range that you could throw a baseball. that'sow close they were. can you describe what it was like when this firefight broke out. >> when it all initially
8:40 am
started, it all came at once. it wt from walking in the dead of night down a mountain in afghanistan, to really the world exploding fo us. we had rpgs. machine-gun fire constant. and it wasn't just -- the air was filled with tracers, they usually don't shoot tracers, tracers, tracers, there's several bulletsetween the tracers so what we were sing was only part of what was going on in the air. >> your friend was hit and what you found out was that somef these taliban fighters had actually taken him and they were carrying his body away and this is something that inow a lot of people in the military feared because it would be a prize to those taliban fighters to have. >> yes, sir. and what you did next was, you went and you assisted another
8:41 am
wounded soldi and then after learning they had carried sergeant brennan away, you went straight into enemy fire. and you chased dow the taliban fighters that were caring sergeant brennan away and you killed one of those fighters and you drove off the other and you brought yourriend back to the group, sergeant brennan. did you have a moment to think about what was happening, sergeant, when it was going on or was it instinct that caused you to do this? >> this is what we train for. i don't have another job. i am a professional soldier, as we all are, and i was only able to do that because everyone else was doing everything they could do, this was just one other brush stroke that completed this painting of this moment in time. and there was no thought, it was just reaction by everyone. >> you brought sergeant brennan back to the group where he passed away, unfortunately, as did another soldier that day. you lost two close friends. and i'm struck, jenny, byhe fact that he continuously says
8:42 am
it was us, it wasn't me, it was the group. others did their job. that's really what in my opinion true heroealways say. what do you think about hiss actions? >> i think that he is a true hero and i think that he's right, that's what they were trained to do and i believe if he wouldn't have done it, that any of the other guys that were with him would have done it. th were all there to help each other out and they depend on each other. >> i like the fact that while you say you're proud of him, it'sot changed the wayou think of him. >> no. >> i still have to do the dishes when i get home. >> you were asked the question -- by the way you did great job on 60 minutes telling your story. and in the end she asked you what kind of soldier y are, and you said, i'm average, i'm mediocre, and you don't seem averagor mediocre,ou seem
8:43 am
extraordinary. >> every single day since 2001 in afghanistan, since 2003 in iraq, people do incredible things that the american public never hears about. and the men i have served with, that i have had the privilege to serve with are truly incredible ani'm just one of them. no one special. >> will you make the army a career? will you stay in the army? >> i think right now, there's a lot of options coming in from the military and everything and we're just trying to weigh all these great options and pick the right one for us and it's taking us a little bit longer tn expected. >> hard decision. >> i can imagine. give yourself some time. and again, it's an honor to have you in the studio. congratulations. >> thank you. >> take good care of him. we're back in a moment, this is "today" on nbc.
