Just a quick note about our surroundings here at Rockefeller Center. Since the Christmas tree arrived outside and Radio City Music Hall started its holiday show schedule... tourists seem to have taken control of this little part of Manhattan. Of course, we have visitors here year 'round. But it seems like each year the crowds have been growing. Their presence helps remind us that Thanksgiving is just around the corner. As we prepare to celebrate the holidays... the world is facing some tremendous challenges. One is the threat of a growing nuclear weapons program in North Korea. President Bush's trip to Vietnam highlighted the concerns today. NBC's David Gregory is traveling with the President and he'll have the latest tonight.
From Iraq... the latest on the 4 American contractors kidnapped this week. NBC's Tom Aspell will have that story.
Of course the day after Thanksgiving is usually the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Tonight we'll find out from retail expert Marshall Cohen, what sort of bargains consumers can expect when they hit the stores this year.
Also, NBC's Tom Costello tonight reports on countries breaking the ban on whaling.
And, we have a story from Italy that is attracting an enormous amount of attention. Reporters and photographers ... some of them flying in helicopters ... have converged on a small Italian town where two movie stars are getting married. Tonight, we'll see some of the hoopla surrounding Tom and Katie's wedding.
It's all coming up tonight. We hope to see you then.
