NBC's Anne Thompson joins Peter Alexander (in Studio 1A) in two-way live remote from Rome, Italy. PETER ALEXANDER: Anne, good morning. ANNE THOMPSON: Good morning, Peter. The latest defense of Pope Benedict XVI comes from an unexpected person, the Italian foreign minister. In an unexpected place, his Facebook page, Franco Frattini writes that the attacks on the pope are, quote, "scandalous and disgraceful." Questions are being raised about what the pope knew regarding the transfer of a predator priest when the pope was the archbishop of Munich. The Church says the pope had no knowledge of that transfer whatsoever; this in spite of a 1980 memo addressed to the future pontiff outlining the fact that the priest, a known pedophile, could be working with children again. Peter: ALEXANDER: Anne, is it possible the pope would ever consider resignation? THOMPSON: No. It would be highly, highly, highly unlikely. He is not a politician. He is the leader of the Catholic Church. And that is something very, very different, and he is appointed by, or chosen by, the cardinals. But what you are hearing increasingly here in Rome from leading newspaper in Italy and from the leading Catholic newspaper in the United States is they are asking the pope to make a full accounting of what he knew about these scandals and when he knew it. Peter: ALEXANDER: NBC's Anne Thompson today in Rome. Anne, thank you. 08:05:55 A Semi-Truck Collided With a Church Van On I-65 In Kentucky Killing 11 Members Of a Mennonite Family On Their Way To a Wedding EXT DAY HART COUNTY, KENTUCKY AERIAL: Ambulances and other emergency vehicles on the sight of an accident on Interstate 65.

GFX: Header "Avoid Grandparents Scam." GFX: Supers "Ask Personal Questions", "Ask the Caller For a Contact Phone Number", "Check With a Relative", "Never Wire Money", "Report Any Suspicious Calls." Consumer correspondent Janice Lieberman joins Amy Robach live in Studio 1A. AMY ROBACH: Janice, good morning. Ms. JANICE LIEBERMAN: Good morning. ROBACH: And we want to say, before we get to the tips, this particular scam isn't a new one, it's just becoming popular all over again, correct? Ms. LIEBERMAN: Absolutely, and it's international, and it's very high-tech. And it's very hard to catch these guys. It's Africa, it's Europe, it's Canada and the US. So they have an international ring, and it's almost impossible to get your money back or to find the crooks. ROBACH: So, yeah, once you've been scammed you've been had and that's it, you're not getting your money back. So what tips do you have for grandparents? Because--it was interesting, Jeff asked that grandmother, `Come on, I think most people would say, "`I know my grandchild's voice."' Ms. LIEBERMAN: Yeah, well, first of all, sometimes it sounds a little bit muffled on the phone, so--and if they're in Mexico or they're Canada, you know, you think, well, possibly it could be them. So the first thing is ask personal questions. Ask the scammer or the caller... ROBACH: Mm-hmm. Ms. LIEBERMAN: ...something about your family that they wouldn't know. Ask middle names, ask the parents' names. And don't say, you know, `Why don't you call your own parents?' You know, they say, don't tell anybody. ROBACH: Right. Ms. LIEBERMAN: You know, that's a tip off because what kid is not going to tell their own parents before they call their grandparents. ROBACH: Right, that's interesting. OK. Ms. LIEBERMAN: Yeah. ROBACH: And the other tips would be perhaps, too, that just when you ask the questions, you said ask the personal questions, but make sure that this is something that you wouldn't do. Once you maybe aren't sure, you want to check with a relative even, go the--go the distance, and never wire money. Ms. LIEBERMAN: No, and also, you know, ask them for a contact number. Say, `I want to call you back. Let me think about it. What hospital are you at? What jail?' ROBACH: Mm-hmm. Ms. LIEBERMAN: And then call back and verify that it's true. I mean, don't assume that this is really true and assume that, you know, someone else in the family's going to know about this, too. You're not the only contact person. ROBACH: Here's the interesting thing, too, because we heard one of the grandparents say, `Well, I believed the caller was my grandson because how would he know my name or how would he know his name?' How are these scammers choosing their victims? Ms. LIEBERMAN: I think this is so clever. I mean, you would think, how would anybody know? Of course it's going to be legitimate. Well, now with Facebook and Twitter and pictures being posted all over the place and notes and some personal things, people can access that. And they are very smart to do this. They're look in social, you know, announcements and weddings, and they'll find out who belongs to whom. And, you know, it takes research on their part, but obviously it's paying off because American grandparents, according to the Canadian police, lost $4.5 million last year just on this one scam. So obviously it works, and people are not getting their money back. And catching the crooks is next to impossible, as is getting your money back. ROBACH: All right. Ms. LIEBERMAN: So the FTC really would like to know if you get a call like this. Hang up, check everything and then see if there's any kind of trouble that's for real. ROBACH: All right. Great advice. Janice Lieberman, thanks so much. We appreciate it. 08:17:54 Space Age Adventure: Amazing Amateur Photos: Robert Harrison Discusses His Photos of the Earth From Space Taken From a Balloon 08:18:08 STILL Photo of the Earth, seen from Space. 08:18:44 STILLS Photos of the Earth, seen from Space. 08:20:01 STILLS Photos of the Earth, seen from Space. Amateur Space Photographer Robert Harrison joins Lester Holt (in Studio 1A) in two-way live remote from West Yorkshire, England. LESTER HOLT: Robert, good morning and thank you for joining us. Mr. ROBERT HARRISON: Good morning, Lester. You're welcome. HOLT: The photos you took from 22 miles up remind us of the things we've seen taken from satellites from NASA. You've got the materials with you. Can you explain briefly how you're able to capture these pictures? Mr. HARRISON: Absolutely. Basically the box consists of a polystyrene box wrapped in duct tape. And inside here we have a sort of point-and-click camera from eBay for about $100. And then a little tracking device. This is where the magic happens. This is like a little sat-nav, a little microchip in there and a radio transmitter. And this is how we can keep track of where the camera is throughout the duration of the flight and find it again to get the pictures and video off at the end of the flight. HOLT: And you knew at roughly 21, 22 miles the balloon would pop, and then this whole thing would parachute down. How were you able to retrieve it? Mr. HARRISON: Well, basically I chased it around in the car. So I'm constantly receiving where it is. And I head to the sort of landing position, only about two or three minutes off it's landed. I go check the camera, pick it up and download the images onto my laptop. HOLT: Now, obviously when you send up a satellite you guide exactly where it's going to be. In this case, are you pretty much at the mercy of where the winds carry this in terms of what images you will get? Mr. HARRISON: Absolutely, very much at the mercy of the wind. And also at the mercy of the wind where it ends up landing. I mean, occasionally I've had to get it out of trees. But, so most of the time it lands in the field. HOLT: When I first heard of this and saw the pictures, beyond being amazed at what you were capturing, I was a bit concerned about air traffic, airplanes and this balloon and camera flying over. Did you contact civil aviation authorities to get permission? Mr. HARRISON: Correct. That's what it is. The civil aviation authority here and the FAA in the US. It's absolutely paramount, you must have permission from them to do this. And they give you a special license, and you have to clear it with local air traffic control. This is not something you can just throw up in the air. HOLT: Give me your reaction when you uploaded those images and saw them for the first time. Mr. HARRISON: It was absolutely amazing. I mean, I never--I thought I was going to get pictures like from an aircraft. And when I actually started looking at it, seeing the curvature of the Earth, the blackness of space and the thin, blue line of the atmosphere, which we live and breathe in, I never imagined for one moment that that's what I was going to see. I was absolutely stunned. It was a mind-blowing experience. HOLT: And this wasn't--it was space exploration per se, this is just a hobby, right? Mr. HARRISON: Correct. This is just a hobby. I'm a dad with three kids and I just wanted to have a little go at doing something a little bit different. HOLT: Well, Robert Harrison, you have inspired us all and what a great hobby. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us and telling us how you did it. Mr. HARRISON: Thank you, Lester. Thank you, America. 08:33:41 Sweetheart Deals: Unmarried Couples Singing Pre-Prenups: Dan Abrams and Michelle Callahan Discuss When Unmarried Couples Should Do Prenuptial Agreements EJ 08:33:41 (2:15) EXT DAY MS: Couple Sara Benacosa and John Devore (both ph) walk and talk together.

NBC News Chief Legal Analyst Dan Abrams and Women's Health contributor Michelle Callahan join Amy Robach live in Studio 1A. AMY ROBACH: Good morning to both of you. Mr. DAN ABRAMS: Good morning, Amy. Ms. MICHELLE CALLAHAN: Good morning. ROBACH: My favorite phrase was "commitment without commitment." Mr. ABRAMS: Yeah. ROBACH: Dan, what do you think? Are these prenups, these pre-prenups, a good idea for folks who are just dating or perhaps even folks who are moving in together? Mr. ABRAMS: You know, look, I'm sure that there are a lot of lawyers out there who are saying, `Oh, these are necessary, you have to get this.' The bottom line is that, you know, I don't want people running out and asking their--saying to their lawyer, `We need one of these.' They're going to be special cases where they're probably a good idea. For example, someone who is paying for someone else's graduate school. One person's going to walk away with a degree, the other person is going to walk away with debt. If you're living together, if there's an agreement, yeah, sure, maybe you can put it down in writing. But in certain cases you don't even need to go to a lawyer. You can just sort of write an agreement between the two of you that says, `I agree to X, you agree to Y.' But I would say err on the side of not going to a lawyer. ROBACH: Yeah. And, Michelle, what do you think about the fact that these couples are going to such great lengths, but not willing to perhaps commit in another way? Do you think that this is a good idea for couples? Or should they be thinking, `Wow, maybe something's wrong if we can't commit yet, we have to write all this down.' Ms. CALLAHAN: I totally agree. I think you need to assess your commitment first, and if you're not thinking that you'd ever be married to someone, then I don't really think you should be paying for their graduate school. Don't invest in things that are for the long haul if you're not even invested in that person for the long haul. So some of these agreements are silly because you're trying to contractually bind somebody to do all these little things. Get into the relationship first, see if there's a really--a commitment and a certain kind of love, and if there is then you go into a prenup. Mr. ABRAMS: There's certain things when you live with someone where there are built-in expenses. I mean, for example, if you're going to bring your own furniture, don't worry about it, you're going to be able to get that furniture back. ROBACH: Right. Mr. ABRAMS: If you develop assets together as you live together, you know, there could be real numbers there. It just depends on how much you're talking about. ROBACH: So, Dan, what advice would you give to unmarried couples who are considering getting this pre-prenup? You mentioned you don't necessarily have to go to a lawyer. Mr. ABRAMS: Right. ROBACH: What else do you suggest? Mr. ABRAMS: All right. So first of all, first thing, do your own research. Which is, you know, again, I'd like to keep people out of lawyers' offices on this. So do some of your own research. If there's a big financial investment, discuss it early on. I don't necessarily mean early on in the relationship, I mean early on in the financial investment. And the last thing is, if one person is sort of investing far more financially, then you can think about having a more structured arrangement. But I think that, again, you can try to do it between yourselves unless you're talking like big numbers. ROBACH: Right. And, Michelle, what would you give in terms of advice to couples who are considering this as well, from a relationship standpoint? Ms. CALLAHAN: I think they also need to ask themselves if they're really trying to protect their finances or trying to protect their hearts, because some people are going into this for the wrong reason. ROBACH: Like this Facebook thing, I mean, it's kind of funny. Mr. ABRAMS: Yeah. Ms. CALLAHAN: And it's kind of silly. Like this is, now you're getting off into minutiae where you really should be thinking about the core of the relationship. Is this something that you're doing as a knee-jerk because you've been, you know, hurt in the past and you don't really have anything major that you're trying to protect, or are you really trying to protect true assets, investments? ROBACH: Yeah, Dan, is all of this enforceable? Mr. ABRAMS: Well, it--for example, let's say you put in a contract that says, `You guarantee sex twice a week as part of the agreement, and I guarantee X amount of money.' That's called prostitution. ROBACH: Yeah. Mr. ABRAMS: That's not--that's not... Ms. CALLAHAN: Exactly. What is that about? Mr. ABRAMS: That's not legal, OK? You can't--you can't do that kind of--you can't... Ms. CALLAHAN: Why do you want to be in a relationship with someone you have to force them to have sex with you by contract? Mr. ABRAMS: I'm just--look, I'm not--you... ROBACH: Bottom line... Mr. ABRAMS: I can tell you one thing I'm not is a relationships expert, so. ROBACH: Well, bottom line, do you think it's a good idea or a bad idea to get a pre-prenup? Mr. ABRAMS: I think that, you know, in certain cases it can be a good idea, but... ROBACH: It's not for everybody. Mr. ABRAMS: You know, but the couple in the piece who put it on the napkin, you know, bravo to them. ROBACH: Yeah. Mr. ABRAMS: But I think they're having more fun than they are, you know, sort of...(unintelligible). ROBACH: Right. Good idea or bad idea, Michelle? Ms. CALLAHAN: I'm with him on that. ROBACH: OK. Ms. CALLAHAN: I think you only need it if you've got something major you're bringing in; otherwise, wait for the marriage if you've got something big go on. ROBACH: Yeah. All right. Dan Abrams, Michelle Callahan, thanks so much. Mr. ABRAMS: Good to see you. ROBACH: Fun topic. Mr. ABRAMS: Yeah. Ms. CALLAHAN: Thank you. 08:42:30 Television's Next Dimension: The New 3-D Sets: Consumer Reports Electronics Editor Paul Reynolds Discusses 3-D Television GFX: Graphic of Consumer Reports.
