before although her marriage lasted just two years. and harry is no stranger to beautiful women. he has been pictured with several since his first serious love, a six-year relationship with chelsea davie. and he has made no secret of the fact that he loves children, telling news week i am determined to lead a relatively normal life and if i'm lucky enough to have children, they can have one, too. harry recently speaking out about the weight of royal expectations. is there any one of the royal family who wants to be king or queen? i don't think so. but he seems to have found his way. sharing the pain of losing his mother early by encouraging war veterans to speak out about their drama. only one other british royal married an american divorce a, edward 8th gave upis

waving the way for harry's grandmother to become queen, but mare reyoent have to give anything up to marry meghan. >> that means that america has a little piece of our monarchy. >> reporter: he did have to ask the queen's permission to marry meghan markle, obviously she said yes. today she said she was delighted with the news. prince charles says he was thrilled and we heard this from meghan markle's parents. we are inn dread blee happy for meghan and harry. to see her union with harry who shares the same qualities is a source of great joy for us as parents. we wish them a lifetime of happiness and are very excited for their future together. so what's next? a lot of activity at kensington palace today, the photo op in front of the press, we will get to see them in just a little while and si

confer on her a title like she did with duchess kate? >> it's likely that harry will given a dukedom. it's likely that she will be the duchess of blank. >> duchess of blank? >> we have more on the big announcement throughout the morning. stay tuned for that. breaking overnight, a natural disaster unfolding on bali. an erupting volcano is leading to mass evacuation and major problems for tourists. miguel almaguer has the latest on all of that. good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, good morning. indonesian officials are ordering more evacuations this morning. worried a major eruption is imminent. now, with bali's airport closed, many have nowhere this morning a massive volcano on indonesia's resort island of bali, spewing huge ash clouds and stranding tens of thousands. mt.

interior. more than 400 flights were canceled stranding nearly 60,000 travelers. eric due shane traveled to bali to celebrate his birthday, could now be stuck here for days. >> people come here for honey moons, weddings, parties, relaxing. so a really happy moment to go to a really stressful place and now the airline said that the earliest it is looking like anybody will get out is on friday. >> reporter: a exotic resort destination now bracing for nature's fury. for now the airport cloche sewer is in effect number tomorrow morning. the last major eruption in '63 killed nearly 1,000 people. lots more to get to this morning including the sexual harassment scandals rocking washington as lawmakers return this morning to capitol hill. senator al franken is now addressing the allegations against him while

groping three others. >> in some of these encounters i've crossed a line. >> reporter: senator franken says he has never considered resigning and now he is not the only democrat in trouble for harassment. >> in times of heightened tension -- >> reporter: congressman john conyers stepping aside from ranking member on the house judiciary committee amid an ethics investigation after two women accused him of sexual harassment. he said i very much look forward to vind kagt myself and my family. >> john conyers is an icon in our country. he has done a great deal to protect women. >> reporter: nancy pelosi defending conyers, a prominent democrat who worked with martin luther king. >> he is entitled to due process but women are entitled to due process as well. >> reporter: asked if she believes the women who i a could you sayed him. >> i don't know who they are, do you? they have not really come forward. >> reporter: attorney lisa bloom represents one of the accusers, she says her client signed a confidentiality agreement

publicly. >> we are calling on representative conyers to release my client from her confidentiality agreement. >> reporter: pelosi making a new statement saying, quote, zero tolerance means consequences. no matter now great an individual's legacy it is not a license for harassment. the question now whether there's more to come from congress. anita hill whose bombshell 1991 allegations against then supreme court nominee clarence thomas rocked the nation's capitol says she's skeptical anything will change. >> 26 years ago washington wasn't ready to lead on this issue and i'm afraid even today washington cannot lead the country on this issue. >> reporter: at this point democratic sources are telling me it's unlikely conyers will ever return to that post on the judiciary committee. all of this putting increasing pressure on congress to do something to change those secretive rules that discourage staffers from reporting sexual harassment. >> casey hunt, thank you. there are new developments

president trump is again trying to boost the embattled alabama senate candidate's campaign but other republicans are worried about what happens if moore wins. nbc's catie beck is in birmingham with the latest on that. >> reporter: good morning. the latest real clear politics poll average couldn't be any closer. it shows moore leading jones by just eight tenths of a point, republicans still conflicted on whether to believe moore on his accusers. this morning embattled republican roy moore heads back into the spotlight, making his first public appearance in 11 days with a speech tonight. >> i'm going to tell you -- >> reporter: his opponent doug jones speaking sunday night suggesting republicans should turn away from their own candidate. >> republican party has a nominee that even the situates senate says they are probably not going to see and folks will put party above country and state

>> reporter: president trump doubling down on his support of moore without ever naming him, tweeting, liberal jones would be bad. the last thing we need in alabama and the u.s. senate is a schumer/pelosi puppet. moore has been accused by at least nine women of sexual misconduct, ranging from inappropriate flirting to sexual assault of a minor. lee says she met moore when she was 14 selling savannah. >> he removed my clothing, he left the room and came back in wearing his white underwear and he touched me over my clothing, what was left of it, and he tried to get me to touch him as well. >> reporter: moore has steadfastly denied all of the allegations against him. >> they are not only untrue, but they have no evidence to support them. >> reporter: for president trump the fight now personal according to the "new york times." the president asked several aides do you believe

there's a special place in hell for people who prey on children. when she was asked about moore by the associated press earlier this month. the times also reporting that the president is down playing one of his own scandals from the past, that now infamous "access hollywood" tape where he boasted about grabbing women. according to the times the president suggested to a senator earlier this year that it was not authentic and repeated that claim to an adviser more recently. the president apologized for those remarks shortly after they were released. meantime many republicans openly worry about what a moore victory will mean. >> if he wins we get the baggage of him winning and it becomes a story every day about whether or not you believe the women or roy moore. if he loses you give the senate seat to a democrat it's time we need all the votes we can get. >> reporter: moore's appearance tonight will be at a republican rally

today also marks the last day that voters can register to cast a ballot in this election. guys? >> katie, thank you very much. >> let us check with mr. roker. >> not often you see so much orange and yellow on an almost winter map. >> no, last time we saw that was when you guys were dressed up for dodgeball. >> so here we go. big unseasonably high ridge and look at the records from yesterday, denver, flagstaff, tucson, yuma and vegas all setting records. today we may see even more records stretching from sioux falls, albuquerque, and denver. as we move on into the day today, madison, wisconsin, above average, st. louis, oklahoma city, wichita. omaha 23 degrees above average. by the time we get into tuesday look at how far east these warmer temperatures spread. syracuse will be 12 degrees above average, charleston 66, nashville 67, milwaukee at 5
