wildfire threat pes yosemite national park and has the city of san francisco under a state of emergency. ♪ ♪ former egyptian president hosni mubarak appearing in court today and defending his case. his case adjourned now until september 14th. he's facing a number of criminal charges stemming from the 2011 uprising in egypt. three leaders of the muslim brotherhood face similar but unrelated charges. we go to cairo for details. >> morgan, sister-in-law parallel trials today in cairo representing two opposite sides of the political spectrum in egypt. the first trial was for senior leaders of the muslim brotherhood including mohamed badie, the spiritual leader, he along with deputies are

charged with inciting violence and leading to the death of a couple of protesters back in june outside of their headquarters. that trial kicked off today without the members present for security reasons and was adjourned within a couple of minutes and delayed until october. the other big trial though is the one we did not -- was in the sure what would happen frankly with hosni mubarak, the deposed president removed from office in 2011. his trial continued today and he did appear in the court in a familiar position inside that cage wearing the sunglasses and the white leisure suit seeming to be displeased with the entire proceedings. he faces charges for failing to stop the deaths of hundreds of protesters during that revolution in 2011. the trial continued today. went on for several hours. the judge making a very clear point of trying to assure the courtroom and the public to be displayed in live broadcast across egypt that this will be transparent and the lawyers will have access to public

documents they need to prove cases. the the trial after a couple of hours adjourned and it is now delayed until september 14th. the judge also ordered for independent committees to further investigate the charges facing mubarak including corruption. as i mentioned, death of protesters and he's calling for independent investigations to assure the public that they'll fully investigate the charges. >> thank you so much jonathan betts live from cairo. joining us now is tom, an associate professor of sociology at the university of san diego and an associate fellow at the transnational i institute based in amsterdam. can you tell us, there are three leaders of the egypt muslim brotherhood that are being tried for the deaths of several protesters. although the trial is postponed from today until october what exactly does this mean for the muslim brotherhood? >> well, i think it is clear that the army is out to totally crush the muslim brotherhood and as i predicted they're not only going after

the muslim brotherhood but also going after the secular left in egypt, they're also going after leaders of the april 6th movement which has been involved in protests for a long time and played an important role in the democratic rev u. i think the muslim brotherhood is the current enemy of the state. there will be trials. the outcome, maybe they're not totally predetermined but i'm not going to be surprised if the con irks come and if mubarak basically gets off. >> professor, the u.s. reaction has more or less been the same for a while now. still no end and still not a coup. why is that, what's going to change? the u.s. has long supported authoritarian governments in the east, especially egypt, egypt is the largest recipient of foreign military aid after israel and the u.s. was always skeptical and distrustful of the arab spring, fundamentally the u.s. concern in the region is both oil and also military

access. they are nervous about the possibility of democratic movements getting rid of elite control. unfortunately it is business as usual in washington. strangely enough the voices critical of the military regime is from the democrats, nonot the republicans. the u.s. has always been distrustful of the democratic movements especially in the region. this is in keeping with long-standing policy for all of the rhetoric of democracy promotion, those tear gas canisters in egypt are made in the u.s.a. >> professor, you mentioned the elite. so, can you tell me exactly what type of government is the u.s. wanting to see implemented? >> well, i think that they have various issues with the military repression. obviously there is no democratic face there. but they can live with that. they have lived with that

before as under mubarak. i think it is somewhat contradictory as to what the u.s. opinion is. faced with a choice of popular sovereignty or elite control, the u.s. supports the latter. latter. >> professor, many are say ing that the u.s. allowed the muslim brotherhood to exist under mubarak but now they're the enemy. have we seen a flip-flop in u.s. policy towards egypt? >> well, that was part of the stage managing of mubarak's authoritarian rule. basically what the u.s. is interested in is the ties with military, the ties with the leadership in egypt and so that -- you know, the players may change but the song remains the same. >> thank you so much. that was a associate professor of sociology at the university of san diego and middle east expert. the united states says it is ready to take military

action against syria. it is now in response to an alleged chemical weapons attack that took place just last wednesday. the syrian government denies it was behind the attack on the outskirts of damascus that left hundreds dead. we're in beirut with the latest. >> the syrian government is defiant warning against any form of military intervention in syria. one minister said "it won't be an easy trip." he even warned that repercussions would burn syria and the whole middle east. the syrian government can rely on powerful ally, russia has been blocking any military intervention in the united states and if the west decides to do this unilaterally along with allies, the u.s. and its western allies, then iran could get involved in the conflict because iran issued a statement warning the u.s. that any intervention would

cross the redline with severe consequences. they have supporters in iran, iran and hezbollah could go against israel, there is a danger of a regional war. we have to remember the u.s. defense secretary may have said that the military plans are in place, that they're ready to strike at any time but he cautioned and he said there will be no action until we are sure and we have conclusive proof that chemical weapons were actually used by the regime. and this, in fact, could take weeks. the u.s. administration also in a very difficult position. if it does cripple the regime. the new force on the grown, the opposition force, those at least that seem to be the most powerful are linked to al qaeda groups which are anti u.s. >> many of the wildfires raging across the west are showing no signs of slowing down. firefighters are bracing for

strong winds that could make the blaze further into the northeast corner of yosemite national park. the largest fire is burning in central california, that's the rim fire as it is called and it is only 7% contained and its impact is being if he would hundreds of miles away. we have been following the blaze. >> we're on the western edge of yosemite national park. behind me past that ridge is a reservoirish the water source for the city of san francisco. now, people are worried that ash from the fire will fall into the water and pollute the water although officials say if that's the case they'll be able to draw on other water sources. now, we're in a preparedness level 5 situation, pl5. it means federal agencies are stretched to the max. we have met firefighters from all over the place, they have essentially been hop scotching from fire to fire, state to state. this fire has become quite large and with many resources coming its way hopefully they'll make some headway to

fight the fire and minimize damage to the park. >> the weather conditions out west are not providing help for firefighters. for more on that this morning's national forecast, let's bring in jelelah ahmed. >> mother nature is not helping out at all in the northwest. matter of fact, we have an area of low pressure that's tracking across central idaho and it will bring gusty winds. we could see winds in access of 45 miles an hour. a lot of dry brush out there. really looking at fuels that could be perpetuated by the gusty winds in addition to that, we may have dry lightning. we really want to be on the look out. air quality still poor from these fires that are almost fully contained but as i said, that area of low pressure may perpetuate the situation on the ground there. we have red flag warnings all the way back to central oregon, the cascades and across california where we won't get much relief from the moisture streamin streaming in m

tropical depression ida. this is good for the southwest. they need the rainfall. in the next 24 hours you will see the heaviest rain really fall across western portions of arizona on into southern nevada. really from las vegas back to phoenix is where the heaviest of the rainfall will be. given the fact that the terrain is very, very dry, flash flooding looks to be a major concern. now, across the north central plains it is hot. not only is it hot, it is very humid. check out the temperatures in minneapolis today. we'll climb to a high of 97°. yesterday, we were at 86. typically at this time of year we should be around 79. overnight lows across the north central plains in the 70s, as a result we'll have exceptional levels of heat in minneapolis excessive heat warning in effect as i said the temperature climbing to 96°, meanwhile we have a stalled out frontal boundary across the southeast, heavy downpours on the way, all the

way from eastern portions of texas back into northern and central florida so use precaution. back to you. >> thank you. next up, the dream 50 years later. marchers return to washington to reflect. our continuing coverage is next. real estate mogal donald trump is facing a 40 million-dollar lawsuit. at stake, claims he deceived students that paid to learn about his business plan. >> i'm jessica taft. in sports we celebrate the present by remembering the past, a tribute to those that paved the way to truly make baseball the all american game.

[applause] >> his words forever penned in american history. it has been 5 50 years since dr. mayor tin luther king, junior delivered his iconic i have a dream speech. this weekend tens of thousandsdiothousandsdescended o continue his vision and many warn that the advances are now

in danger of being rolled back. [applause] >> the crowds in front of the lynne kl memorial did not match the 200,000 or more that watched martin luther king at the same spot a half century ago but the determination to see america redeem his vision was strong as children veronica and benisha were at the 25th anniversary of the march and brought their own kids to the 50-year commemoration. >> there are a lot of people that still care about equity and i couldn' justice in the und states and recognize we haven't made it but we're also fighting for the same cause. >> the day's speakers underlined the economic obstacles that hinder black americans. >> america needs a new marshall plan for our cities to provide jobs, infrastructure improvements ina true lasting si stimulus to the economy. >> they cited topics never

tackled by the civil rights movements in the 60s, gay and lesbian rights and immigration reform. >> king's speech helped push through laws for equal rights to the ballot but many say that those laws are being threatened and weaken by republican sanked state laws approved by the supreme court. >> the sacrifices made then must not have been in vein. >> i gave a little broo blood n that bridge in alabama for the right to vote. i am not going to standby and let the supreme court take the right to vote away from us. >> one of king's chroniclers says he would be disappointedpy the partisan warfare that's held up progress. >> our political discourse is really not living up to the promise of america that was articulated so well 50 years ago. >> a promise that his

admirerers believe can still be achieved. >> new york's attorney general is suing real estate mogal donald trump. the 40 million-dollar suit ms claims rump ran a fake university, they say he was behind trump university promising to make students rich but instead have them take expensive seminars. snider man says many of the 5,000 students that payed up to 35,000 thought they would at least meet trump but instead they had a photo taken in front of a life-sized picture of him. he accuses trump of engaging in fraud, illegal, deceptive conduct and violating federal consumer protection law. jessica taft is here with sports where baseball is taking centerstage. >> thank you. spotlight bright at city field in what looked like an all-star reunion on the mound.

two of the best starting pitchers in the game squaring off yesterday, they were going head to head for the first time since the mid summer classic. both were good but just one was a little bit better. he's not a one trick pony, he doesn't get to the dish much but you couldn't tell it. an rbi single and teammates are delighted. then he shows why the tigers got him there. he mowed down the hitters, allowing just 3 hits. the tigers are the 3-0 shutout and he's just the first pitcher since clemmens in 2001 to win 19 of the first 20 decisions in a season. speaking of impressive, yes, that's a nice ride but it is also carrying guys that shaped the game on and off the field. i'm talking about baseball's part in the civil rights movement, yesterday in chicago commissioner selig joined hank

aaron and bo jackson that were on hand to honor jackie robinson and other leaders including sharon robison, jackie's daughter that continues to push for equality. >> we need to have another civil rights movement. i think this celebrating that 50th anniversary, having this march retracing the march in washington d.c., having us all reflect on the past is hopefully helping us to think about where we need to go in the future. >> i think the thing that i think about is all of the trials and tribulation that jackie robinson went through and for me to come back and to break a record like the one that babe ruth held for such a long time was one that showed everybody that if given the same opportunity to play this game that we, too, could do the same thing. >> now it is time again for as the jets turn. this morning the plot thickens in the controversy. here is why. let's set the stage, preseason

game three, smith getting a first nfl start and the rookie quickly follows up with a first nth touchdown pass, uneffort nayly the headline broadway joe has to be put on hold as he tossed three interceptions. at least they have the veteran sanchez to fall back on, right? not so fast. the giant austin may have taken care of that. check out this hit on san chess isanchezin the fourth. that's why the franchise quarterback in is in the fourth quarter anyways, he'll have an mri and they still managed to win against the giant in overtime of the that's sports at this hour. i'm jessica taft. thank you. >> thank you. refugees no more. afghan's living in pakistan for decades after a soviet invasion are now encouraged to return to their homeland. a famous novelist passes away and now biographers claim his estate could public mosh moe
