Announcer from nbc news, this is today, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on this sunday morning. Im erica hill. Im craig, alongside of Sheinelle Jones and dillylan dreyer. In case you missed it last night, this was the end of the ole missalabama game. Before this, alabama, number two in the country. The football gods on ole misss side. Thats how the game ended. This is a big rivalries in sec. That was third quarter. This is a big rivalry, as we know. You all know at home that i dont know a lot about football. I was reading up on this this morning.

Im feeling like Something Weird is going on with football. Its been exciting ends to the game, weird catches in nine seconds. Which is great. It keeps you in there. The beauty of College Football.

He has a packed agenda every day of his trip. Thousands are already turning out to see him this morning. Nbcs Anne Thompson is traveling with the pope. Shes in havana. Good morning. Reporter good morning, craig. Up to 1. 5 Million People are expected here in revolution square, as pope francis celebrates mass this morning. The first big event on a trip that will take him to the United States later this week. Pope francis brought his message of peace to havana, only to be welcomed by a military salute. Peace was on his mind during the nearly 12hour flight from rome. The world is thirsty for peace, he told reporters, and got emotional recalling a syrian refugee family waving goodbye to him. He could see the pain of war on their faces. On the plane, i asked francis what he is most curious about the United States. The people, he said. I want to meet the people. Some americans couldnt wait. And joined 100,000 cubans on havana streets to welcome the pope. Its just so exciting, and look, i have goose bumps. Its crazy. Reporter comparing the magical moment captured on smartphones. In havana, the pope praised the new relationship between cuba and the u. S. That he helped broker, calling it a victory for encounter and dialogue. Miami archbishop was one of those on the street to cheer the pope. He helped build bridges between cuba and the United States, and between United States and all of latin america. I think its up to the rest of us to do our share. Reporter now, both the vatican and the Obama Administration want the u. S. Embargo against cuba, which is 54 years old, lifted, but that decision is up to congress. Craig . Anne thompson for us in havana. Thank you. Turning now to the campaign trail. Donald trump finally breaking his silence last night after coming under fire for not correcting a supporter who made disparaging comments about obama and muslims. Reporter good morning. For the first time, were hearing from donald trump after his most recent controversy, and true to form, he is unapologetic, defending what he didnt say. Accused by his rivals of being selfamoric, this weekend, donald trump hung with High Schoolers at homecoming. Give me five. Reporter even here, he couldnt escape his latest controversy. Would i consider putting a Muslim American in my cabinet . Absolutely no problem with that. Reporter the question coming after trump didnt denounce a supporter last week who called muslims a problem, and incorrectly claimed president obama is not christian or a u. S. Citizen. Now, trump is finally breaking his silence by noting he rarely is. For the first time in my life, i got in trouble by not saying anything. I didnt say anything. Reporter trump defending himself by reading a series of his tweets out loud. A nowin situation. Am i morally obligated to defend the president . Christians, thats all of us, need support. Reporter the candidate trying to shift the conversation to religious liberties, a key issue in iowa. I brought my bible. Reporter in hopes of widening his lead in the state over ben carson and ted cruz, who was asked about the controversy. The president s faith is between him and god. Reporter trump, still leading the republican race nationally, coming under fire from democrats. Hes been trafficking in prejudice and paranoia throughout this campaign. Reporter Hillary Clinton with her supporters at a convention in a state where she trails bernie sanders. Were going to win because there are more of us than billionaires. Reporter theres still a wild card in the democratic race. Vice president joe biden. A recent poll suggests if he does not decide to run, clinton may benefit more than sanders, at least initially. Remember, biden has not made a decision, and its not clear if hell announce before or after the first democratic debate on october 13th. Speculation continues. Nice to see you this morning. Thanks. Krchuck todd, good morning you, sir. Good morning. You have donald trump on the show this morning. Again, hes not aspologizing fo refusing to correct the man at the town hall. Didnt apologize when he questioned john mccain being a war hero. Didnt appear to have a measurable impact on his first runner status. Any reason to think this is different . No, there isnt. The proof of what you laid out is proof of why it wont be different. The people supporting him, in many ways, are with him because he is unapologetic. He does sort of verbalize thought bubbles, or somebody said, what people yell at their tvs. He says it in public, and thats why theyre attracted to him. I think, to me, if you take this week at a whole, what we learned is, number one, you have a republican field thats very comfortable going after him, and i think that that had an impact on trump a little bit. None of these controversies help him expand his support base. At some point, are arent going to be 15 candidates, and 25 or 30 is a winner number when its down to two or three. Lets go to joe biden. The first democratic debate, three weeks ago. Is that the drop dead date for the Vice President to get in this thing . If he wants to be the nominee, it is. Look, technically, the drop dead date is november 5th, actually, because november 6th is the first filing deadline for any president ial primary in the democratic side. That happens to be alabama, if anybody is wondering. If he wants to win, he needs to do it by the end of the month. My own reporting, theres a couple things. Hes been traveling the country meeting with a lot of democratic leaders. The message hes been telling them is hewants to run. Theres room for him to run. By the way, his wife is on board. This is an idea of joe biden, shes hesitant of him running, its not true. He has to decide whether he has what it takes emotionally to do this. Hes hinting to people he knows, hes better off deciding by october rather than november. Two of your other guests will be john kasich and dr. Ben carson. Sad news to share this morning. Best selling author, Jackie Collins, has died after a lengthy battle with Breast Cancer, a battle she kept secret from the world. Sheinelle has more on her life and legacy for us this morning. Yes. Jackie collins was diagnosed six and a half years ago but chose to keep her illness almost to herself. Confiding mostly in her children and writing novels up until the very end. Jackie collins was born in london, but spent most of her life in the United States. She and her older sister acted in british b movies. She gave up acting in the 1960s, finding stardom as a writer. Shed go on to write more than 30 best sellers over four decades, filled with racy plot lines, including hollywood wiv wives. Collins spoke to matt lauer about the appeal of her characters. Ive always written strong women, and i think its one of the secrets of my success. Women love my characters. Reporter collins remained in the spotlight until the end, looking happy and healthy a week and a half ago. Women should do every they want to before they get married. Then theyre not sitting there thinking, what did i miss . Reporter she kept her Breast Cancer diagnosis a secret. But in a interview last week, she said, quote, ive written five books since the diagnosis, lived my life, traveled all over the world, have not turned down book tours and no one has known until now, when i feel i should come out with it. Now, i want to save other peoples lives. A trailblazing powerhouse of a woman, she lived her life like the characters she wrote about. I want to do it my way. If you dont like it, tough. I like women like that. Jackie collins was 77. Her final book was published last june. Private Memorial Services will be in the United States and native england. Sad day. Thank you. Lets turn now to this, the man who police say is responsible for terrorizing drivers along arizonas highways says he didnt do it. The 21yearold went before a judge saturday and claimed he didnt have access to a gun. Nbc remains on the story for us. Reporter good morning, craig. This was the first time we got an up close look at the suspects i10 shooter. In court, he seemed incredulous, telling the judge he has nothing to do with the shootings. Now, the suspect, the 21yearold, is a local landscaper. Hes facing a slew of charges, including driveby shootings, as well as intentional acts of terrorism, among others. His bail has been set at 1 million. Investigators say they have linked him to the gun that was used in four of these shootings through ballistic reports. A merit in court told the judge they had the wrong guy. He says he hasnt had this gun in months. All i have to say is im the wrong guy. I tried telling detectives that. My gun has been in the pawnshop for the last two months. I havent had access to a weapon. I could never afford that bond. I have two kids, you know . When we asked about his defense, asked about the claim that he has not had that gun in two months, investigators would not comment. All theyre saying is he is linked to the gun that was used in at least four of these shootings. Again, its a reminder here, were talking about four shootings of 11 shootings. That means there are still seven shootings out there that remain unsolved. Investigators have talked about the possibility of copycat shooters. Theyre encouraging everyone to remain vigilant and call in any tips along i10. Gadi, thank you. A deadly incident in the migrant crisis overseas. Sheinelle has more.

Its something that people spend hours researching. Its part of the entertainment value, and it leads to better outcomes. Reporter advocates for legalizing traditional Sports Betting are trying foul.

You mr. Kinney . I am, buddy. Nice to meet you. Reporter his diary of a wimpy kid started as a hobby. Today, his tales sold more than 150 million copies in 40 country s.

Reporter the store is an unlikely story, kinneys latest project. 3,000 square feet in the heart of plainville, massachusetts. Population, 8,000. As an author, you really come to understand how important independent bookstores are. Theyre a fabric of the community. Reporter this store opened in late may, part of a growing trend. Since 2009, the number of independent bookstores is up 20 , according to the american book sellers association. Do you think were starting to see a little bit of a revolt in what people want . I hope were seeing a revolt. I know that Big Box Stores changed the landscape, and i shop with them myself. I think that there is a real need for something different. Something that has a flavor thats unique to that community. Reporter built on the side of a former general store, by the time kinney and his wife bought the building, years of vacancy had taken their toll. They raised the structure, building a replica in its place. Everything that was thats on the walls was signs that were on the front of the building over time. Reporter the hope is that an unlikely story will be an anchor for the community, boosting business downtown and offering the community a space to gather. Seven long years later its nice to see a little life come back into the end of town. The first piece of puzzle, to bring an area, rejuvenate an area. Reporter all these books are flying above us. These are the enchanted books. If you follow their trail, youll follow he them to the harry potter replica broom, quidditch match. Reporter while itll be kinneys work space, its not only for him.

I hope kids will come and pick up a book they wouldnt have discovered otherwise, and itll change their lives and set them on the path like a book did for me. Jeff kinneys tenth book, old school, will be released in 90 countries on november 3rd. He was a month behind schedule, but hell have it on schedule. He is like the loveliest, nicest man ever.
