clearing the white stuff still on the ground. so, where does thall that snow on the ground. so, where does thall that snow today january 30th, 2011. captions paid for by nbc-universal television and welcome to "today" on this sunday morning. i'm jenna wolfe. >> i'm savannah guthrie in for lester. developments in egypt is happening quickly. the safety of u.s. citizens in egypt may now be at risk. >> just a short time ago the u.s. embassy advised all americans to leave the country as soon as possible. the u.s. embassy in cairo is offering to assist any u.s. citizen who wishes to depart. with all the chaos and trouble at the airports it's unclear how exactly that will happen. >> also egypt has now shut down the al jazeera network which has been broadcasting these prode

protests. all of this comes as days of rage continue to engulf a country that may be on the edge of complete collapse this morning. meanwhile, president hosni mubarak to appoint a vice preside president. and now new reports that thousands of inmates have broken out of several egyptian prisons. >> and at the white house, president obama and his top advisors continue to follow these developments. we learned that the president spoke to saudi king abdullah and the king told president obama there should be no bargaining about the security and stability of the egyptian people. our coverage begins with chief foreign correspondent richard engel on the ground in cairo again this morning. richard, good morning. >> good morning. medical sources say that since the beginning of these protests, at least 100 people have been killed, 4,000 injured and 500 people are missing, many of the missing, we are told, are women.

as in addition to the protests, there has been a general breakdown of law and order. mob rules is taking over egypt. and egyptians are now living in fear. across the country, egyptians have formed vigil ante groups neighborhood watches armed with sticks and knives to protect their homes and property from widespread looting. witnesses tell nbc news that vigil antes have made hundreds of citizens arrests and killed and beaten an unknown number of looters. some are hardened criminals. as the protests continue, thousands thousands have escaped from five main egyptian prisons. they broke out after egyptian police nearly simultaneously withdrew from their posts. egyptian police are no longer in

evidence in egypt. they are not on the streets or at most police stations. the escaped prisoners also include more than 30 leaders of the muslim brotherhood, a band islamic group that has joined the demonstrators. cairo airport is still open, but in chaos. we saw a group of brazilian women who came to organized a wedding, but are now trapped and frightened. >> we are in the hotel since friday morning. we didn't get out. so, now we are trying to go back home. >> reporter: the u.s. embassy in egypt is authorizing departure of dependents and nonemergency personnel. >> they've got to provide the plane so we can leave because i don't think any planes are present to take people out. >> reporter: egyptian political parties claim what's happening now is dangerous chaos following anti-government demonstrations is a deliberate attempt to prove that the repressive police state

is necessary. the parties claim the government pulled back police and allowed prisoners to escape to show egyptians an ugly alternative to mubar mubarak's continued rule. a nighttime curfew remains in effect. banks, universities and the stock market are all closed. >> richard, clearly president mubarak has struggled to maintain power there. he did name the vice president yesterday. but what is the government doing now at this time to restore peace or any resemblance of peace? >> the government is trying to put the army forward and earlier today president mubarak was seen briefly on television convening with his top generals in a national security meeting. there have been some more army troops sent on the streets, but, still, no rezumption of any kind of control or state authority on the streets of egypt. >> richard engel, thank you very much. and now here's savannah. >> jenna, thanks. president obama and the state department continue to closely monitor this crisis in

egypt, a crisis that is putting washington in a very difficult situation. david gregory, moderator of "meet the press" will interview secretary of state hillary clinton this morning and he joins us now. david, good morning. >> savannah, good morning. >> rets talk about the dilemma. on the one hand wants to stand with these protesters and on the other hand mubarak has been a u.s. ally for nearly three decades. >> and the strategic importance of egypt cannot be overstated here. the ability of the united states to fight a war in iraq or to have trades in the sues canal because they have a peace treaty dating back to the mid-'70s with israel. this is hugely important and always a deal with mubarak. in effect, that he would remain a linchpin in the region. all of that is now cracking at the foundation. and that's the dilemma you're talking about, savannah. how do they ride this out? the united states, the president

does not want to get on the wrong side of these revolutionaries in the street. if he stands for democracy, which the united states does, this is a moment of truth. >> and we can see the administration trying to thread this needle on the one hand talking openly now about all that foreign aid to egypt possibly being in jeopardy but stepping short of asking mubarak to step aside and call a free and fair election. >> top diplomats i was talking to, that threat was to keep issuing a violent crackdown against the protesters. that has not happened and richard engel has talked about this, this is crucially important. the fact that the military, this is a military regime has not led a violent crackdown to the protesters says a lot. the potential for and what i'm looking for with secretary clinton this morning whether the united states will actually call

for new, free and fair elections and whether they will push mubarak to say, unequevically that he will not seek office. >> the concern is, of course, if mubarak leaves, if that government is toppled, what goes in its place? does the muslim brotherhood rise? would you have democracy sometimes the results are unpredictable and we've seen that throughout the middle east. >> right. and you saw it most recently in the bush administration with the election in gaza that brought hamas to power. the difference is that, you know, hamas was backed by the iranians. hamas is not very popular, even having won the election. the muslim brotherhood in egypt is a very organized force and would likely play some role in the government. there are some democratic alternatives. perhaps a role for the military to play, as well, to immediately fill the vacuum. but, yeah, some real periods of uncertainty here and that's what happens. the question is, what is the united states really able to do about it at this point?

this has really sprung up. this is a real movement and it may be too late to go back. >> well, incredible ramifications of what's happening a world away from us. david gregory, i know you'll be talking about it on "meet the press." here's jenna. the uprising comes on a wave of protests across the middle east, protest that could alter the stability of the entire region. martin fletcher is our veteran middle east correspondent and the author of "walking israel." good morning. >> good morning. >> you know israel has to be standing by watching everything that happens very, very closely. egypt is the first arab country to make peace with israel. what does all this mean for that country right now? >> it's huge. it's huge. egypt, the world's largest country, as you said, the first arab country to make peace with israel. if a government takes over in egypt led or influence strongly by the muslim brotherhood. that peace agreement would be in jeopardy very quickly.

>> we haven't heard much from israel although benjamin netanyahu goal is to maintain relationship. >> for the united states t, egy, those two countries drift apart and the peace treaty in danger, who do the americas support? israel and egypt are the two main recipients of the american foreign aid. they each get $3 billion a year and have done so for decades. middle israel with 7 billion people, where do you put your money? >> first we see this happening and are we seeing a domino effect with the countries in that region? >> a domino effect among the people. whether that translates into governments falling, it's still an open question. depends on what the army does, in particular, in egypt.

but, certainly, because of al a jazee jazeera. the arab world watches alg jazeera every hour of the day. they're seeing these demonstrators, they're seeing the riots through the social media. they're more in contact with each other. there's steam building up in these arab countries. >> so far al jazeera right now is off. in your opinion, was this revolt a long time coming or something you see every couple years? >> there have been food riots in egypt every five or seven years. this is a dimension, sort of dimension beyond that. so many people in egypt have been so unhappy for so long about so many things. it had to explode. this was a revolt waiting to happen. >> is there a way for this to die down without mubarak leav g leaving? >> think of iran 50 months ago. they opened fire on the people

and they started control. america is trying to stop mubarak doing that. >> well, obviously, a very interesting situation and we're all going to stand by and watch. martin fletcher, thank you so much. we want to check in with lynn barry at the news desk. good morning. >> good we begin in central oklahoma where several grass fires have erupted. it scorched trees and grass northeast of oklahoma city. several homes were destroyed and people were evacuated in logan county. the state national guard was called in to help. there are no reports of injuries. well, the connecticut child protection agency says officials missed an opportunity five years ago to discover the true identity of carlina white. she was kidnapped as a baby from a new york city hospital in 198 7 and raised under another name. the agency helped the family

back in 2005 and contacted law enforcement over doubts over her identity. they did not say why nothing came of it and pettway was charged with the kidnapping last week. in an interview with cspan, the president says he does not want to do fund-raising or campaigning. mr. bush has no interest on going on talk shows second guessing the current president. ex-presidents criticizing sitting presidents is bad for the country. finally, don't adjust your television, on "saturday night live" last night all the faces of facebook's billionaire poked a little fun at each other. >> i wasn't really doing mark zuckerberg. i was doing a fictional character in a movie script. >> you know, jesse -- >> hi. >> thank you for coming here. >> wait.

>> have you two and i met? >> no. >> awkward. >> just for the record, no word on whether zuckerberg, eisenberg will all friend each other. but either way, lynn barry likes this. i have exhausted all the facebook puns. >> i get it, you like this. >> i was a little slow on that one, too. i get it. >> talking about yourself in the third person. >> had to take a few seconds with this, we got it. lynn, thanks. scott williams is here with a check of the weather. scott, good morning. >> good morning. unfortunately t looks like we're tracking another snow storm in the formative stages right now. look at the satellite projections on the west coast. bringing rain into san francisco and ultimately this storm system will track across the country tuesday into wednesday. we're looking at a wintry mix in the central plains and then, yes, you guessed it, back into the northeast and new england as

piece of wood and wood chisel and i put way too much pressure on the chisel and when the piece of wood came off the chisel just coming with the forward momentum and it sliced right into my hand and took out the main artery in my left hand. >> and at that point you told a.j., call 911. try to get help. had he even been trained to do this? >> i taught him a little bit about 911. he has known his number and alphabet for a while and just something people should know to teach their children that that's an emergency number only. >> i know a.j. didn't want to have an ear piece in his ear. can you pass on a question to him. ask him if he was scared when he called 911. >> were you scared when you called 911, buddy? >> no. >> why weren't you scared? >> because i was brave. >> because you were brave.

heard what a.j. was able to do? >> well, i actually called from work just to check in on them at lunch and the firemen answered the phone and they hadn't been able to get a hold of me and they told me aaron was taken to the hospital and a.j. called 911 and i was just amazed that all this had happened and within a small amount of time he was able to call 911 and get aaron help and the ambulance came and took him down to the hospital and all worked out for the best. but it's just like i don't know what we would have done if he wasn't here and able to use the phone that way. >> we're so glad to have you here with us and tell a.j. we're proud of him. thanks for being with us. >> everybody says they're proud of you, buddy. what do you say. >> say thank you in the camera. >> can you tell them thank you. >> look at the camera and say thank you, guys. >> thank you, guys. >> thank you. good to talk to you this morning. thanks for sharing your story. >> thank you, guys, very much. coming up next, freebies.
