night involving one of the world's most famous couples was either a near catastrophic car chase as their spokesman says or arrived at law enforcement sources say was simply A bit chaotic that spokesman for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex Harry and Megan describing a dangerous two-hour long Chase pursued by highly aggressive Paparazzi resulting in multiple near collisions the episode rekindling Grim memories of the wild Pursuit that led to the death of Harry's mother Princess Diana in a Paris Highway tunnel nearly 26 years ago but tonight in New York officials are describing what happened to Harry and Megan as something less harrowing than reported and that's where we start tonight with Gabe Gutierrez Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle seen here leaving a charity event in New York and tonight there appeared to be differing accounts about what happened next a spokesperson and for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex admonishing photographers for a Relentless Pursuit that lasted two hours and resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road pedestrians and two NYPD officers adding the near catastrophic car chase came at the hands of a ring of Highly aggressive Paparazzi the briefing I received uh you know two of our offices could have been injured I thought that was a bit Reckless and irresponsible though tonight at least three law enforcement sources tell NBC News the couple was followed not chased and that the incident was a bit chaotic not near catastrophic I would find it hard to believe that there was a two-hour high-speed chase in a written statement the NYPD says numerous photographers made the couple's transport challenging but there were no reported collisions injuries or arrests Harry and Megan had private security as they left this venue and two law enforcement sources tell NBC news that they wanted to return to Manhattan's upper east side where they were staying with a friend and did not want the paparazzi to follow so the law enforcement sources say the couple was driven up and down Manhattan for more than an hour with a police escort then the pair was taken to this police precinct where a taxi picked them up would you describe it as chaotic yeah chaotic you could say chaotic I don't know what happened previous in the day right with me it was a chaotic but not crazy crazy right do you think the paparazzi went to far ah you know I don't know when we were there they kept their distance when they were following us in my cab Sunny Singh told us he's the taxi driver who picked up the couple but he says they drove around for only 10 minutes before the street was blocked by a garbage truck people just came out of nowhere with cameras and started snapping pictures did they seem worried they seem worried they seemed worried and nervous as long he then says he dropped them back off at the police precinct where a different car eventually took them home all right Gabe joins us from outside that police precinct Gabe was there any video of the pursuit well that's their Source close to Harry and Megan says that there is a security video that captured the encounter but it has not yet been publicly released Lester all right Gabe thanks let me turn that a cure Simmons in London and cure a lot of people immediately thought about Princess Diana when they heard about this and you know Lester inevitably that is one of the first things that Prince Harry will have thought of when this happened that terrible night when he lost his mum listen there are parallels Princess Diana was trying to escape the paparazzi just like Harry and Megan this week Princess Diana had lost her royal protection Prince Harry no longer has Royal protector but there's also Lester important context here too Prince Harry is fighting a legal battle with the British press this isn't just about the pass for him this is about the future he seems determined to keep fighting even to change the media but Lester there are those who question whether he can win that fight all right cure Simmons in London thank you new developments this evening in the brutal killings of those four University of Idaho students the suspect has been indicted and as Aaron McLaughlin reports we will see him in court soon tonight in Moscow Idaho Ryan Cove Burger the man charged with stabbing four college students to death now indicted by a grand jury the indictment includes four counts of Murder in the first degree and one count of burglary if found guilty he could be sentenced to death coburger has yet to enter a plea but his previous attorney said he believes he'll be exonerated the indictment follows his December arrest and his family home in Pennsylvania more than 45 days after Maddie Mogan Kaylee Gonzalez Zana kernodle and Ethan Chapin were found brutally murdered in this college house according to court documents coburger's DNA was found on a knife sheath at the crime scene and his white Hyundai Elantra seen driving here during a routine traffic stop was also allegedly caught on camera in the area the night of the killings one of two surviving roommates telling police she saw a male figure with bushy eyebrows a mask and black clothing in the home that night so this grand jury indictment simplifies the process for for the surviving Witnesses absolutely because they don't have to testify in front of coburger during this preliminary proceeding news of the indictment is the latest twist in a Grizzly case that's left a small university community heartbroken last weekend Kaylee and Maddie both received posthumous degrees coburger will be arraigned on Monday legal experts say once he enters a plea the trial must begin within six months unless he waives his right to a speedy trial Lester Aaron thank you now to the battle over abortion of federal appeals court hearing arguments on limiting access Nationwide to a widely used abortion pill a fight ultimately heading to the Supreme Court while some states restrict abortion further here's Laura Jarrett tonight the most commonly used abortion pills still on the market but its legal future uncertain a federal appeals court appearing deeply skeptical today of arguments from the Biden Administration and pill manufacturer as they try to keep miffapristone available the FDA can do normal how to look at the FDA just like we're allowed to look at any agency the three-judge panel must decide what to do with that controversial decision out of Texas last month which invalidated the fda's long-time approval of the drug one judge hearing the case appointed by George W bush the other two by Donald Trump all have a history of supporting abortion restrictions Judge James ho calling abortion a moral tragedy in a 2018 case the stakes of what happens to a pill women can currently get in the mail even higher now with new abortion restrictions emerging at the state level we needed to take action to protect The Unborn overnight in North Carolina a GOP super majority banned most abortions after 12 weeks with few exceptions overriding the governor's veto the law is incredibly arbitrary and it was crafted by people who were not Physicians it's really important to note that when there's a list of exceptions someone is always left out North Carolina had been an outlier among a sea of states that restricted access after the Supreme Court decided women don't have a constitutional right to an abortion every pregnancy threatens the life of mothers in neighboring South Carolina a six-week ban like Florida's on the horizon so Laura helping understand where we are the it's for the abortion pill the justices agreed last month to keep it on the market during the appeal process that's exactly right Lester and there's no deadline for this appeals court to rule on amiphopristone but once it makes a decision the case is inevitably headed back to the Supreme Court for a final say all right Laura Jared thanks
