Football game auburns going to win the Football Game a 109yard run for the record books. The memories for a lifetime. And plenty of fans calling this one of the greatest college Football Games of all time today. Sunday, december 1st, 2013. Announcer from nbc news, this is today. With lester holt and erica hill. Live from studio 1a in Rockefeller Plaza. And welcome to today on this sunday morning. Im erica hill. And im lester holt alongside dylan dreyer and Andrea Canning who is in for jenna this morning. Two things about that Auburn Alabama game. First of all, i hope the announcer is resting his voice. Second of all, chris davis must have already watched this highlight a dozen two dozen times. Ive watched it a dozen times. He catches this ball in the e zone, a missed field goal. Its incredible. And there he goes. I could not believe the speed. Like you, i think ive probably seen it at least a dozen times now. Hell probably continue to watch it for the rest of his life. Of course, such a big rivalry. We had some alabama fans outside the window a little earlier. They were looking a little sad. Extra sting there. Stunning is the word of the day. Weve got a lot of news to get to. We want to begin with the death of actor paul walker. It seems to many an ironic twist of fate. The actor who was best known for his role in the fast the furious series, films about fast cars. That accounter ended up dying in a car crash. Fans and celebrities alike taking to social media to express their grief as soon as that news broke. We have alicia in the orange room with more. Good morning. Good morning. It could be days before police know exactly what caused this horrible crash. We do know that paul walker was attending a Charity Event for his organization, reach out worldwide. He was raising money for typhoon victims in thailand. And paul was only 40 years old. His untimely death has left hearts across the world absolutely broken including his costars who all took to social media to express their grief, their shock, their condolences. We see here vin diesel. Theyve known each other for 14 years, seven fast furious movies. He says my brother and i aimed for the stars together. We achieved more than we ever could have hoped. Tyrese also took to twitter and said, my heart is hurting so bad. No one can make believe this is real. I just dont understand. My heart hurts. Ludacris, other costar, took to twitter. Your humble spirit was felt from the start. Wherever youre blessed with your presence, we were like brothers. Our birthdays are only one day apart. Funeral arrangements have not been announced yet. We know paul had a teenage daughter. Horrible story. Such a tragic irony to the way he died. On his twitter page, he says that he loves cars, adrenaline, ocean, a native of glendale, california. Alicia, thanks. Want to turn now to the latest on the health care website. The white house, if you recall, promised it would be running more smoothly by today. And with people nationwide returning from their holiday vacation now going online, this is crunch time. Kristen welker is live at the white house. Kristen, what will people expect to see when they log on . Reporter well, lester, Administration Officials say this website will be functioning smoothly for most americans. Theyre expected to announce a little later on today that the site can support as many as 50,000 users at one time. That was the initial goal when they started repairs. But the question is will that be enough to restore confidence in the website and an embattled president . President obama is facing one of the biggest tests of his presidency, has his administration revived healthcare. Gov . This weekend some positive signs. Everything went smoothly. Reporter shawn pete is a virginiabased barber who is eager to get health care for himself and his kids. I love it. There were no problems. Reporter it was also smooth sailing for deirdre. She said she had trouble signing up in october, but saturday, success. Well, i was able to get all the way through, and i was able to select a plan. Reporter nbc news spoke with six people who said with the exception of a few glitches, the site functioned well. A nonprofit called neighbors keeper helped them enroll. The ease of creating an account for folks has been significantly improved and the speed with which we were able to do so. Reporter in a saturday statement, an Administration Official said the site is performing well today with low overall error rates and response times despite heavier than usual weekend traffic. But web experts caution serious work remains. The largest challenge with this site is just making sure that it stays up and running. Reporter john engates is one of six analysts the white house invited to inspect the facility where technicians are working around the clock to fix the website. He says ultimately it needs to support more than 50,000 users. This is a website that was in Critical Condition at the outset. I mean, it was in bad shape. I think this website is doing much better. Reporter now, some Insurance Companies are saying that they are still seeing some problems. Administration officials continue to downplay expectations, urging people to log on during offpeak hours. We will get an official update a little bit later on this morning. Thats when those who are working on the site are going to hold a Conference Call with reporters. Lester, back to you. Kristen welker, thanks. David gregory is moderator of meet the press. Good morning. Good to see you. Good to see you, lester. The promise here is it would be running more smoothly by the beginning of december. How will they manage expectations Going Forward . Very carefully. As kristen said, they want to monitor how people get onto the site. They dont want people to go too quickly. They want to target key groups. Theyve got to fix some of the backend part signing up which is getting information to Insurance Companies. And they want to do Something Else as well. Over time, they also want to deal with the fact that people are not going to necessarily choose a plan right away. They may become eligible, but they may not actually select a plan right away because people will linger over that decision. So is the white house, does the president continue to be vulnerable Going Forward . They obviously have to reach a certain number of people to sign on for this plan to be effective overall. Yeah, they need 7 Million People by next march, 2. 8 million need to be young people for the risk pool to work out. Theres also a lag effect here. Remember, they want more and more stories of people getting on the site and navigating it well because people are still under the impression you look at all the bad Media Coverage theyve gotten that they cant do this well, that nothing is working. So theres going to be a lag time even when it does start working. And dont forget, theres other tests as well. Whats the impact on employees . Are premiums going to go up . Theres still lots of impacts to this. And a big policy question as to whether that individual mandate, that individuals have to buy the insurance, might that be delayed . Other people other parts of the program, i should say, have been delayed. Will they come to a point where they feel they have to delay that . Im curious, do we have a sense of how bad the political damage is, not only over the website but the president s broken promise over folks being able to keep their existing plans . How bad is it for him . I think its very bad. I think that the president had a big idea, and the jury is out on whether he can execute on that idea. And that is the Big Government test. Because especially progressive government believes they can do good by people, do well for people. Theyve got to be able to execute on that. The white house understands that that jury is still out, and thats why the next weeks and months are critical. David, thanks very much. Well check in with you a bit later for a preview of whats coming up on meet the press, but thanks for now. Thanks. The family of the 85yearold American Veteran being held in north korea says hes in good health. That information coming from the swedish ambassador who was able to visit Merrill Newman on saturday. And now the white house is calling for newmans release. Reporter after Merrill Newman received his first visitor, his family reported good news. He has received the medications that we sent him and medical personnel are checking on his health several times a day, they said in a statement. Merrill reports he is being well treated and that the food is good. The white house released a statement this weekend saying it was deeply concerned about the welfare of newman along with american kenneth bay who was detained more than a year ago. Were always hopeful that this increased attention to the case is moving things along, that its moving in the right direction. Reporter as for newman, hes a korean war veteran who now calls california home. Last month he fulfilled a dream by returning to north korea for a nineday visit, but a military officer took him into custody at the airport as he was about to leave. On saturday, video of newman surfaced. It was released by north koreas state media which says newman apologized for alleged hostile acts including civilian deaths during the korean war. He could not be confirmed if newman himself wrote the fourpage apology, but experts say the video could be a positive sign of north koreas intentions. This may be a prelude to figuring out what it can extract from the United States for this release and then the release. Reporter for today, joe friar, los angeles. We want to get a look at the mornings other top stories. We should point out that jenna will be back next week from maternity leave. We are happy to have Andrea Canning with us. So happy to be here.

Ayman mohyeldin is in london. It can be fun and games especially with the kind of headlines prince harry has been making in recent years. This time hes making headlines for the right reasons, a good cause and one that is certainly not without risk and injury as his journey to the south pole finally begins. Reporter after days of waiting and training, prince harry and his Wounded Warrior teammates finally have the goahead to begin their race to the south pole today. They arrived a week ago, eager to start. Its amazing how in six hours your morale can go from i mean, it was pretty high. Too high. Almost pouring over the edge. And suddenly rock bottom. Reporter but Mother Nature had other plans. Severe weather continues delayed the start. The down time gave harry and his teammates even more time to prepare. And a chance to reflect about why he got into this in the first place. For the team, probably, on my part. Reporter joking aside, this journey is no laughing matter. It really was a case of how i just have to do this. If im given the opportunity, it means i can actually help these guys out, creating more awareness for them or whatever. Then, you know, so what its minus 50, so what its 90mileanhour winds . Reporter it is extremely challenging, two weeks of trekking up to 13 miles a day in subfreezing temperatures and potentially deadly crevasses. Duncan slater lost both of his legs in afghanistan. Your body heat really drains out of the bottom of your legs when theyre attached to your prosthetics. Reporter along with harry are teams from the commonwealth and the u. S. Men and women all racing with a purple, to raise money for injured soldiers. So after months of training and days of waiting, the race to the pole is finally getting under way. And theres no doubting who harry thinks will win. Obviously the uk will win. Well, there you heard prince harry saying the uk will win this race. Obviously despite the cordial atmosphere in the camps and camaraderie among the teams, this is still a serious and competitive race. But really the true winners will be all of the injured soldiers who will benefit from this journey and all the money it will raise. Lester . Ayman, thanks very much.

It is the live production of the sound of music, a classic coming to tv like you have never seen it before. There you see her, carrie underwood, music country superstar will play maria, and laura will play the baroness. You get a kiss in this, dont you . I do. I kiss in a roll down a hill. Dont spoil it. Ive never seen that one before. A spoiler. This is going to be a little different. Youve both in productions of the sound of music, but this is not for people familiar with maria. This is not the movie or even the stage production. Whats different about it . Its a sort of hybrid. It is actually the stage production but its going to be televised. And so the order of the songs is a little different than what youre used to with the movie. But i think thats the reason to do it. No one can remake the movie. Julie andrews is an icon and that movie is so iconic. Were just trying to bring the stage production to peoples living rooms. This is live . Yes. I keep seeing promotions for it.

Thats exciting, though. You know, were used to doing live theater. Yes, its different because its millions of people versus thousands of people. Its got to be a little different, though. I read an interesting article this weekend talking about how for all the people working on the production, the fact that you dont have an audience has really changed the way you go about, you know, getting into characters and doing your role. What is it like when you dont have an audience there . You go ahead. Okay. Youre in college. I mean, weve both done it although lauras done it in a much bigger way. Id say im so used to the pauses where theres clapping and laughter. So that is interesting for me. Im, like, oh, no, were still going. There is no break. And then everyone asks, you know, since theres no audience, how do you get the energy . But i think having the cameras and knowing that its so much about your individual expressions. Having a great cast and crew. Were really excited. Well be watching for you this thursday night on nbc. No pressure. Live at 8 00. Youre going to be fantastic. Thanks for stopping by this morning.
