The volcano erupting. And the standoff at the mall. The officer opening fire, panicked shoppers running for cover. Good evening. And its great to have you back with us here after the thanksgiving holiday. And we have a lot of news to get to tonight. But first, that global headline. The daughter from america about to join the royal family. Prince harry asking Meghan Markle to marry him. And tonight, where he asked her, the history, the First American to officially join the royal family. She was raised in a biracial family. She went to a Catholic High School here at home. Shes now an actress. And tonight, what it was like the first time in the room with the queen. This evening, their first interview now being watched all over the world. And heres abcs chief Foreign Correspondent terry moran. Reporter hand in hand, they stepped into the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace, prince harry and Meghan Markle. Almost giddy, it seemed. How are you both feeling . Yeah, thrilled. Meghan, how are you feeling . So happy. Reporter and later, they talked about the big moment harry popped the question. It happened a few weeks ago, earlier this month, here at our cottage. Just a standard, typical night for us. Just a cozy night, it was what were we doing, just roasting chicken and having roasting a chicken, trying to roast a chicken. Trying to roast a chicken and it just just an amazing surprise. It was so sweet and natural and very romantic. He got on one knee. Of course. Was it an instant yes from you . Yes, as a matter of fact, i could barely let you finish proposing. I said, can i say yes now . She didnt even let me finish. Can i say yes, can i say yes . Reporter for months, theyve been the focus of rumors and speculation, but today, they just seemed like two young people happy in love. At the end of the day, she chooses me and i choose her and therefore, you know, whatever whatever we have to tackle, together or individually, will always be us together as a team. So i think i think shes capable of thats so nicely said, isnt it . Reporter and meghan seems ready to become one of the family. Talking about meeting harrys grandma, Queen Elizabeth ii, who gave her blessing. Meghan also addressing how her own family reacted. Do you think they have worried at all about the scale of what youre getting into . Well, im sure the onset, both my parents and my Close Friends were concerned, because we got very quickly swept up in a media storm that, as i shared, was not part of my life before that. But they also had never seen me so happy. Her moms amazing. Reporter they remembered how they met last year. It was definitely a setup, it was a blind date. It was a blind date for sure. I didnt know much about him. And so, the only thing that i had asked her when she said she wanted to set us up was i had one question, i said, well, is he nice . Id never heard of meghan before. And i was beautifully surprised when i when i walked into that room and saw her. There she was sitting there, i was like, okay, well, im really going to have to up my game. Reporter all of it leading up to that proposal and that ring. The ring is is obviously yellow gold, because thats what her favorite. And the main stone itself i sourced from botswana and the the little diamonds either side are from my mothers jewelry collection, to make sure that shes with us on this on this crazy journey together. And its beautiful, and he designed it, its incredible. Yeah. I think everything about harrys thoughtfulness is, and the inclusion of that, and obviously, not being able to meet his mom, its so important to me to know that shes apart of this with us. And terry moran joining us from london outside Kensington Palace tonight. And terry, i remember being there in our booth, as william and kate pulled out in that 69 aston martin. Perhaps it will be a ford mustang for the american princess, who knows . Reporter well, no word on the car right now. But the palace has said that the wedding will take place sometime next spring. Thats going to be a very busy time for the royal family. Prince william and kate are expecting their third baby in april. So, the betting here is on a wedding in may, when the weather is nicest in london, which may mean a convertible for this royal couple. David . Yeah, still plenty of time to decide the car. Terry moran leading us off. Terry, thank you. A nice way to come back to the news after the holidays, but there were a lot of other headlines today. And first off, President Trump and his choice of words at the white house today. Honoring native american heroes from world war ii. They were codetalkers. But what he then said with them all standing there. Abcs chief White House CorrespondentJonathan Karl tonight. Reporter at an event today to honor navajo codetalkers native american heroes of world war ii President Trump issued a racially charged insult, labeling a political foe, quote, pocahontas. Youre very, very special people. You were here long before any of us were here. Although, we have a representative in congress who they say was here a long time ago, they call her pocahontas. But you know what, i like you, because you are special. Reporter the three navajo heroes, all in their 90s, reacted with silence. The venue was new, but the insult is one the president used over and over again during the campaign to attack senator elizabeth warren, who came under fire in 2012 for claiming, without any proof, to have native american heritage. Did you ever hear of pocahontas . Huh . Its pocahontas, elizabeth warren. Reporter but the purpose of todays event was to honor native american war heroes. Why did he feel the need to Say Something that is offensive to many people, while honoring the 1 2 navajo codetalkers, these genuine american heros . I think what most people find offensive is senator warren lying about her heritage to advance her career. Reporter today, warren fired back. It is deeply unfortunate that the president of the United States cannot even make it through a ceremony honoring these heroes without having to throw out a racial slur. Reporter she said it was a racial slur. What is your response to that . I think thats a ridiculous response. All right, so, lets get to jon karl live us with tonight from the white house. And jon, this all comes at a crucial time for the president. Many republicans likely wanted him to stick to the script today. On the tax plan, a vote expected this week. I know he can only afford to lose two senators on this. Where do things stand, jon . Reporter the president is going to capitol hill tomorrow, david, to make a big push for the tax plan. As you point out, he can only afford to lose two republican votes in the senate. And there are already several republicans who have expressed concerns about the tax plan. That said, the white house says they are confident that they will get the votes needed to pass it. All right, youll be following it all week for us. Jon karl, thank you. And next here, congress returning from the thanksgiving break, including senator al franken, apologizing to the women who have spoken out against him, saying hes ashamed. Will the apology be enough . Abcs mary bruce on the hill again tonight. Reporter back on capitol hill, al franken says he is embarrassed, ashamed and ready to get back to work. I know there are no magic words that i can say to regain your trust. Reporter its been 11 days since california radio host Leeann Tweeden released this photo and accused franken of forcibly kissing her. Other women have since come forward, saying franken groped them while posing for photos. And franken cant guarantee there arent more accusations still to come. If you had, you know, asked me two weeks ago, would any woman come forward with an allegation like this, i would have said no. Reporter frankens fate is now likely in the hands of his own colleagues on the Senate Ethics committee. I cannot comment on any matter that might come before the ethics committee. Reporter not even whether or not youre looking into it . Correct. I cannot comment at all. Reporter its that level of secrecy that has so many critics saying Congress Plays by a different set of rules. Take Democrat John conyers. Accused of sexually harassing former staffers. Conyers denies it, but admits paying one a secret 27,000 settlement. Democratic leader nancy pelosi struggled sunday to explain why conyers isnt being held to her own zero tolerance policy. Just because someone is accused and was it one accusation, was it two . I think there has to be john conyers is an icon in our country. Reporter pelosi later backtracked and conyers is now stepping down from his leadership role on the house judiciary committee. And on the republican side, many senators are dreading the prospect that alabama could soon elect roy moore. Eight women have accused him of inappropriate sexual behavior, including sexual assault. Many while they were teenagers. In a new ad out today, moore boasts of a scandalfree career. 40 years of honorable service. Roy moore has been intensely scrutinized and not a hint of scandal. Mary bruce with us from the hill tonight. And mary, President Trump is standing behind roy moore. Last week, he hinted he may even go down to alabama to campaign. But tonight, youre learning thats not going to happen . Reporter david, the white house says the president is not planning a trip to alabama. They say his schedule doesnt permit it. David . Mary bruce, thank you. We are also watching a leadership battle at a Consumer Watchdog Agency set up to protect americans from the big banks after the financial collapse. The director on the Consumer FinancialProtection Bureau leaving abruptly, putting his deputy in charge until congress can approve a replacement. President trump immediately appointing his budget director Mick Mulvaney instead, who showed up there today, taking charge of the agency he once called a joke. The deputy director, leandra english, had just sent an email to the agency, mulvaney said, ignore it. She has now filed a lawsuit to stay in the job. Both sides saying the law is on their side. Next tonight, the russia investigation and former National Security adviser Michael Flynn. A major signal tonight could he be ready to cooperate with the special counsel, Robert Mueller . We had already learned here that flynns lawyers told white house lawyers they could no longer discuss Defense Strategy with them. Well tonight, abc news has now learned flynns lawyers have sat down with special counsel Robert Muellers team. Abcs chief investigative correspondent brian ross. Reporter its lets make a deal time for Michael Flynn tonight. The president s former National Security adviser who famously wanted Hillary Clinton behind bars. Lock her up, thats right. Yeah, thats right, lock her up. Reporter today in washington, flynns lawyer met with the special counsels team, a sign of a possible plea deal that could make flynn a government witness in the russia investigation. Flynn was forced out of the Trump Administration for lying about his contacts with the russians, although the president still defended him. I dont think he did anything wrong, if anything, he did something right. Reporter yet former fbi director james comey says the president , in private, asked him to let the Flynn Investigation go. I understood him to be saying that what he wanted me to do was drop any investigation connected to flynns account of his conversations with the russians. Reporter but the investigation continued, and now people briefed on the case say flynn may be ready to talk, as he faces the prospect that both he and his son could be prosecuted. His lawyer recently cut off communications with white house lawyers, and he already told congress, general flynn certainly has a story to tell, and he very much wants to tell it, should the circumstances permit. David, what comes next, its time for both sides to show their cards. According to people briefed on the case, prosecutors will tell flynn what charges he could face. And flynn will tell them what, if anything he knows, about wrongdoing in the Trump Campaign or the white house. David . Everyone watching these signals very closely. Brian, thank you. We turn next here to the Mass Evacuations under way tonight, including american tourists. An enormous cloud of ash and smoke seen across the island of bali. Heres abcs matt gutman. Reporter tonight in bali, terrifying scenes around mt. Agung. This timelapse video showing ash hurtling 10,000 feet into the atmosphere. Scientists using drones already discovering a new hole in the volcanos crater. Rivers of volcanic debris and mud now flowing down the slopes. Officials declaring the highest possible threat level and expanding the danger zone to as far as six miles out, as fears of even bigger eruptions grow. 100,000 in the path ordered to flee. Many staying in evacuation centers, where theyre handing out breathing masks. That ash disrupting air travel. Hundreds of flights already cancelled. Over 50,000 travelers at this top Tourist Destination are now trapped. Were now waiting to, i guess, go home. Theres no representatives here that are going to talk to us. Reporter and david, because the bali airport is closed, many of those tourists, including americans, have had to take ferries to get off the island. David . Matt gutman, thank you. Next, we return to our reporting on the rohingya people. One of the most persecuted minorities on earth, escaping violence in myanmar. And tonight, pope francis is visiting myanmar, being very careful with his words, but sending a message. Bob woodruff reporting for us multiple times from the region, and now the pope is there. Abcs James Longman, traveling with the pope. Reporter pope francis arrived in myanmar to cheers of happy children lining the roads. Different from the lines our team found one month ago of people with pink slips, hoping for food along its border. 620,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled from what secretary of state Rex Tillerson calls ethnic cleansing. The popes first meeting, with this man, general min aung hlaing, accused by Rights Groups of crimes against humanity. This trip, a diplomatic tightrope. Francis warned not to even use the word rohingya. If he insults his hosts, he risks enflaming tensions. If soft, his moral authority could be diminished. The general, in a facebook statement, saying the pope was told theres no ethnic discrimination here, despite these scenes. Tomorrow, pope francis meets with embattled leader aung sang suu kyi, herself once under house arrest. Hell also give his first public address, in which hell say myanmars future rests in respect for each ethnic group. Hes hoping his presence, if not his words, are enough to build bridges. David .
