[laughter] which destroyed the claustrophobia that was very important to me in the film. so i

and so is katie nicholl, who truly wrote the book on the royal romance.s wonderful to have both of you here. what did you think when you were walking in this morning? >> it's incredible. the crowds began amassing last night. they've been there all night long. and, katie, you and i were talking about, this is planned right down to the minute. and the thought that kate middleton will spend her last seven minutes as a commoner on that drive to the abbey with her father. and she will not be known again as kate. >> no. we will know her as catherine. but the moment in the car with her father, very, very special. >> and we keep thinking about the long, long walk at westminster. >> four minutes long. >> four minutes long. the most nervous thing for the bride. >> we have more wonderful people with us. at the abbey, and the abbey has been called the house of kings because it's where the coronations take place. and royal weddings, and only royal weddings can take place. and here to tell us more about it is our own robin roberts. >> good morning to all of you. if i t

and if money and nichols and dimes is concerned, ahead of the party service, that we are going wrong. we need to take a look at not about this, whether waste management they can put a lower bid. it is really other elements. we want the city to be right. zero ways and other quality service. so i hope you consider that. thank you, commissioners. commissioner campos: thank you very much. next speaker. >> good morning, commissioners. in general manager for west -- a tug and barge marine company at year 50. we have been a tenant of the port since 1976. our crew members are union members, and we provide a living wage for approximately 65 employees at that location. we provide barging services for a wide variety of items and commodities throughout the day from redwood city all the way up to stockton and sacramento. we feel that if any company would like to work with us in terms of providing this type of service, we can certainly work with them to make this happen. for example, we currently move out two barge loads of molasses each month, and that takes about 200 trucks off the road each loa

it was not paid for by the circulation nichols of the subscribers. if you think about government- boned journalism compared to the rich, benevolent owner boulders of journalism or the public opening of journalism, i think there is a time now where you do not need quite as much funding as ever, but some of the people who today are seen as barron's -- barons started off with a pretty defined journalistic crusade in their mind, and most of the time in their own minds, it was progressive. i think that the dollars are more available than ever for people with an agenda, but the ability to spot the quality voices is a little bit harder now that they are so numerous. >> there will always be a market for investigative journalism. i do not know that it is the type of financial journalism that was referred to before, but i think that there will always be people willing to also spend the time to listen to that type of reporting or even to read it online. there is no doubt that investigative journalism will continue to flourish. simply as a longer format journali

resign i think a lot of time that nichols now rely on international help makes the situation even more dangerous promoting the idea of uprisings in other countries but this was the warning from the russian foreign minister something off. because we suspect believed oppositions rejection of the ceasefire initiatives is connected with the fact that nato is implementing the un security council resolution in its own way and has sided with the rebels and probably rebels rely on western help to overthrow the regime and seize power it's a very dangerous move deliberately escalating a conflict in how it's that the world community would come to your aid is essentially an invitation to a series of civil wars. and. from the world economy and international relations says that russia is the most suitable. we're seeing a. very selective you see if he does his. places where gadhafi could be. trying to kill khadafi can self which goes actually world beyond any un resolution and absolutely inacceptable from the point of fuel for international laws and from the point of your for international convention

we welcome in katie nicholls. that was smooth how we did that. took the high shot. one in. one out. like that. should there be rain on friday, is there a contingency plan? >> it wouldn't be a royal wedding if there weren't several contingency plans. if it comes out. if it buckets down, which, is a little luck. but there is a glass carriage. you remember, that's the carriage that lady diana spencer arrived at st. paul's in. and if it's covered, we'll be able to see her just as well. but there's something special about the state landau. it's beautiful and open. fingers crossed that if it rains it doesn't main when they leave the abbey. >> if you plan a wedding in april, in london, you have to expect for rain in april. >> everybody is making contingency plans. and the bbc is getting another should they need it. there's going to be a three-hour bell ringing section. literally, as soon as they are married, 5,000 peal changes. those are all outside of the abbey. that's the major problem. people have to rethink their positions. things will be moving right up to the last minute. >> broadcas

for the latest on the big wedding, we head out to london and abc special royal correspondent, katie nichollmorning. thanks for joining us. >> hi, bianna, how are you? >> i'm good. there are so many questions, what dress will she wear and where will they go on the honeymoon. you're getting some new details there. >> yes, we have a story that broken this morning in the sunday telegraph. that jordan is on the horizon as a honeymoon destination. this is quite a surprise, because it's very much a breach of tradition. i don't think any royal couple has gone to jordan for a honeymoon. but this is apparently where prince william and catherine middleton have set their sights on for the royal honeymoon. they're going to leave the day after the wedding. it's not impossible. it's quite plausible. you'll recall the middleton family recently released pictures of kate and the family when they lived in jordan many, many years ago. it might be the case kate decided that she wants to take her husband, as prince william will be then, back to one of the places where she spent part of her early years. we'll hav

and our world correspondent katie nicholl takes a look at the styles of both women. >> reporter: beingncess isn't just about wearing sparkling tiaras. as the relentlessly well-dressed diana proved it's also a chance to turn the world stage into a runway. >> princess of wales made royal style glamorous again. she made it hollywood. she made it red carpet. >> reporter: and now kate middleton is set to follow in diana's designer heels footsteps. >> she is a trend setter. she is the style icon of the world now. >> reporter: the people's princess and the princess-to-be side by side. it's clear diana's sense of style lives on in kate's closet. both women share a passion for playing dress-up especially on royal occasions. the late catherine walker was one of diana's go-to designers. her husband saed ismail watched the princess's style blossom. >> i think that people saw her as a young conservative mother, a future queen, an ambassador and a fashion icon. >> reporter: in diana's early years alongside prince charles her style was still undeveloped. >> hello. >> reporter: but kate emerged on the

we want to bring in our special contributor katie nicholl.de. >> i know. >> so many details to go through. we're learning more and more information thanks to you. can you tell us more about the seating chart because it's kind of surprising where people are being situated. >> do you know what, bianna, actually everything that's come out, the seating chart is the most fascinating thing to me because this is a royal wedding. they made it clear from the start, the couple, they didn't want it to be a state wedding. and if you look at the seating party, right at the front are all of their best friends sitting next to dignitaries, sitting next to royal families from around the world, sitting next to the prime minister and i think that's very special. it says a lot about this couple, yes, they're going to go according to royal protocol because they have to, but they're not letting their friends not feel part of the big day. they are all right at the top. and down behind the abbey, a screen, and a knave. and that's where the prince of wales is and all

she backed dick nicholls when he refused to put more grass on the beach because, quote, it attracts mexicans and there are already too many mexicans on the beach. >> to me this wasn't an isolated occurrence. it clearly showed a pattern that i believe disqualifies her from holding her office. and she needs to resign it. >> reporter: we tried to reach davenport at her fullerton home, but no one answered. today civil rights leaders say what davenport did was insulting. >> political criticism of president obama is legitimate. racist slander is illegitimate. >> that is racism. it's brutality. and we're not living in slavery anymore. we're living in freedom under the constitution of the united states of america. >> reporter: davenport's actions will be addressed by an ethics committee, but it would be up to her to resign. she cannot legally be forced out. vicky vargas, nbc bay area news. >>> our "health watch" now, disappointing news about the supposed miracle drug when it comes to fighting aids in some women. while the drug is still showing great promise preventing new hiv infections in men, tria

. >> we have david muir and katie nicholl here. favorite moments?d yesterday, or was it today, that seven-minute ride saying she would never been known as simply kate again. it's daunting to know what she's walking into. i think at the end of the day, this is one young woman that i think can handle the role. everything today was done with aplomb. >> she showed she's capable of entering the family. harry, who couldn't resist a peek, turned around to look at kate, and his face, a look at prince william, he did so good. if william needed assurance that his bride looked like a stunner, he got it in harry's facial express. it was wonderful. priceless. >> forgive us if we're still drinking the caffeine. barbara has a special on tonight. i'm going to be heading out because "world news" will cover the news of the day in the united states, where lots of it is tough. there was joy here. we hope it brought light to everyone who watched. >> it was definitely wonderful to work with you both. we'll hold down the fort. save yourselves, save yourselves. we will sta

. >> you and steve martin mike nichols directing it. this play resonates as strongly as that play did for me. and as powerful a piece as that. i mean i said to moises after i read this play, this makes godot look amish or you can say a heavily armed our town. but it is an idea that the play really kicked me hard. and it was like i went, and if i'm going to come back, why not take a chance with something this powerful. >> you had to-- you needed him in the play. but you needed him not to be as he's most commonly known. >> yes. >> yes. >> but having seen all of his work, i mean we have near a july yard trained actor and we knew from the first moment that he could do it. and when you see him in the play, when he is magazine any sense, there is a lot of humor in the play. but robin doesn't only get the humor which is second nature to him, but he gets all of the range of ideas and emotions that his character has. and this character is the soul of this play. the tiger that gets killed by americans in iraq, in the zoo, and his ghost continues
