100. for many states, it's about to get even hotter. for many states, it's about to get even hotter. today's sunday, july 17, 2011. captions paid for by nbc-universal television good morning, everyone. welcome to "today" on sunday. i'm lester holt. >> i'm jenna wolfe. two big breaking news stories to get to this morning. we want to begin with casey anthony. after 1,006 days in jail and just 12 days after a jury found her not guilty of murdering her daughter, caylee, casey anthony is a free woman. >> this is the seen from inside the orange county jail in orlando at the moment she was being escorted out of the facility. she appears to say thank you to one of the law enforcement officers before she's led out the door by her attorney and facing a pretty angry crowd. nbc's kristin dahlgren was there and joins us live with the latest.

>> reporter: good morning. news choppers lost sight of casey anthony's suv so this morning we don't know exactly where she is. for the first time in three years she's not waking up here at the orange county jail. you can probably hear protesters are still here. with all of the protests, all of the publicity, there was so much talk about using decoys or casey anthony sneaking out a back door. in the end, she walked right out the jail's front door. just minutes after midnight, a first glimpse at casey anthony, free woman. in a bright pink shirt and showing little emotion, she and her attorney jose baez wasted no time. >> she was just tunnel vision to the door. that's when i think i saw that, you know, that smile or relief, if you will, because she saw freedom. >> reporter: but that freedom may bring the start of an even tougher trial for anthony. as she walked out the front of the jail and into an suv, crowds of protesters erupted in anger.

security on high alert as anthony's suv drove away. news choppers attempting to track her trip. while her final destination is for now a mystery, there is little secret to how many feem about anthony's release. two weeks after being acquitted in the death of her 2-year-old daughter caylee, casey anthony is often called the most hated woman in america. few recent cases have drawn such attention, and few defendants such an nimosity. >> her demeanor and the way she acted, it made you so angry. i'm still angry over it all. >> reporter: her lawyers report anthony has gotten multiple death threats, tens of thousands have lashed out on social networking sites. security experts say fears of vigilante justice can't be ignored. >> she definitely needs an entire program, if you will. it's going to take more than one body guard or two or three.

she needs a complete program. >> reporter: security costs that could run into tens of thousands of dollars or more. on friday anthony's attorneys again asked the court to declare her indigent. the jail says she left with just $537, some from admirers that sent her money. indeed, there were some to show their support. ♪ casey anthony please with me ♪ >> reporter: as she heads off to her new life, many speculate a paid interview or book deal will have to be casey anthony's next stop. in fact, an independent television producer has already offered her $1 million for the first interview and as the world now waits for the first sighting outside of jashlgs lesteil, les going to be very difficult to stay out of the public eye. >> casey anthony is free but her

whereabouts, as we noted, unknown at this hour. a question of her future, what will she do? what will her life be like outside a jail cell? joining me is beth karas, from "in session" and tony zimbato who was inside the jail when casey was releed. thank you for being with us. >> good morning. >> tony, we heard your account a moment ago of her relief. i want to get a sense of wlu thought she was prepared to see you, members of the press, and that crowd outside. how she reacted to the crowd that was jeering as she walked to the suv. >> i think she was prepared because the way she came out, it was very calm. she wasn't shocked with the three imbedded journalists in the lobby there. i think jose, as he's done throughout this whole procedure, probably talked to her and told her to expect two cameras in there, maybe a mike stand and that they were not going to stop

bit mike stand, they were going to bee line it to the door. i'm sure he also told her the crowd was going to be in their own little secured area but that she was going to hear a lot of yelling and a lot of nasty thing being yelled, to be ready for that. >> i'm assuming it's not a usual procedure to have a deputy in a vest and automatic weapon escorting a prisoner -- a released prisoner out. other than that, did you get the sense that they followed what would be a normal release procedure for someone convicted of a misdemeanor? >> no. this was not a normal release. in the history of this particular facility, this is the first. you've got to give a lot of props to the chief of this correction facility for giving us the privilege to be inside and doing it in a humane way. it could have been worse. they had three different scenarios they were going to try to bring her out according to the conditions outside with the fans and people that were awaiting for her outside. so, we ended up going with the

first scenario, which was the original one. the chief wanted to bring her out through the public door, just like everybody else comes out. in case there was any kind of unsafe situation, they were going to take her out two other scenarios. but this has never been done here like this before. the cooperation was just unbelievable. >> let me bring in beth f i can. what are you hearing about what's next for casey? where she might even be at this hour? >> well, we do not know where she is right now. quite frankly, lester, her lawyers have a lid on everything. the way they did throughout the trial. we did not even know what the defense was going to be until the eve of trial. they are not saying where she is. there is some speculation she's already left the state because of lear jets that left in the middle of the night. others say she's still here in orange county. what can she do? she's not going to be too employable, at least in this part of florida in the near future, at least in the service

industry. no one's going to want to have her wait on them ordeal with her. she'll have to take a job by phone, change her identity, go back to school, lay low for a while. >> anyone that watched the testimony in the trial, as you did, and heard from member of her family might have a lot of questions about the nature of that relationship. does she have a family to go back to? is there a family unit there that would welcome her? >> well, it is our understanding that our family would welcome her. she refused a visit from her mother after her acquittal on the felony charges. she continues apparently to be estranged from her parents. it may take time to mend that relationship. >> you've been a big help throughout the trial. we appreciate you coming in with us again. tony, thanks as well. appreciate it. >> you're welcome. from casey anthony we turn to our other top story, that

devastating heat wave across the country. the temperatures are rising and reaching record highs. and if you're not in the grips of it yet, get ready. the weather channel's erik fisher is in minneapolis for more on this summer's extreme weather. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, jenna. they say the coldest time of the day typically is right around daybreak. temperature here at target field in minneapolis at day break, 80 degrees. dangerous and deadly in some cases, especially through the next few days with heat continuing to build. not just here in the twin cities but literally a huge chunk of the heartland of america from canadian border down to the gulf coast. is it a multiday event. now, here at target field, it's only a year and a half old. it could be the hottest game the twins have ever played inside the stadium. they are accounting accordingly. the crews will be putting out free water throughout the stadium, putting it around the upper deck, concourses, even at the gates so all the fans can stay hydrated at today's day game. not a night game scheduled for today. also putting first aid crews throughout the stadium,

wandering around, hoping anyone who needs help here. they're going to try to be there for everyone. dangerous, heat indices around 105 by the time we get to the end of the game. >> 105. thank you very much. how long will this heat last? chris warner here with a check of your heat forecast. chris, good morning. >> good morning to you, too, jenna. it is going to be hot for days and days. this is diangerous heat. look at the extent of this heat, from texas and louisiana all the way up to the canadian border. while it's going to read 9 degree on the thermometer in minneapolis, by the end the day, heat index, feels like 110. 15 degrees warmer than what the therm t thermometer reads. you'll see it move into the mid-atlantic and back into the south and even into the northeast. we have days of heat on the way, lester. have you to do what you have to do to keep cool. >> thanks. now to politics. washington gearing up for a crucial week in this battle for

a debt deal. president obama is warning of a financial armageddon if an agreement isn't reached. can both sides find common ground? david gregory, moderator of "meet the press." good morning. >> good morning. >> i keep listening to dueling news conferences listening for a code word or phrase that suggests there is room for compromise. do you hear anything in the language that suggests either side is willing to offer an olive branch here? >> what i hear is a willingness to ultimately raise the debt ceiling but to do it in it's most minimal form. i think the idea of a big agreement, a big grand deal that would involve big spending cuts over ten years, i don't think that's going to happen. that really centerings around the fact that republicans will not raise taxes in any way, shape or form and the president will only do so much in terms of spending cuts if it doesn't involve tax increases. so, i think that center of gravity has moved away from the white house despite the president's pressure. up to capitol hill where there are some dliks on what the

fallback position is. that's where washington is right now. a small solution to a big problem. >> does each side think voters will side with them, that politically the other guy is going to pay the price for this? >> i think they're trying to -- trying to get something neutral. not a victory,en a defeat. i think both sides recognize the peril of letting the debt ceiling not be raised. even though there's a lot of more junior lawmakers on the republican side that say, no, this is a false crisis. there's no reason to raise the debt ceiling unless we get the sort of deal we want. you heard from the president this week, let's push this out, have this debate in the election over taxes and spending, but the reality -- you come back to, people i talk to, are so frustrated with the fact that washington can't do hard things. they can't make hard decisions because they're afraid of the political consequences. when we're up against the wall like this. >> we'll have more about this on "meet the press" coming up. david gregory, thanks. >> okay. now here's jenna. >> thank you. breaking news this morning in

the growing phone-hacking scandal out of britain. nbc's chapman bell joins us from london with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. a huge development in this case. just a short time ago we learned that former editor of "news of the world" rebekah brooks was arrested in connection with the investigation. brooks was just until last week a senior executive for rupert murdoch's media empire. she's being questioned on suspicion of conspireing to intercept communication. it comes as this scandal continues to spread. issuing a fresh apology in some of the uk's other papers including "the sunday times" his remaining sunday publication, putting right what's gone wrong, promising to compensate those effected and full cooperation with the police. for those involved, there's no place to hide. but what has gone wrong for the media mogul? the most recent fallout from the hacking scandal, two chief executives of news corp., but more could be in line.

scotland yard has come under heat. sir paul steephenson answered questions. >> i have not acted inappropriately. >> reporter: police deny any wrongdoing after he received a free retreat in an expensive spa where neil wallace was a pr correspondent. wallace, arrested in the scandal. and "new york times" reports 11,000 pages of handwritten notes, naming 4,000 celebrities, politicians, sports stars, police officials and victims of crime, whose phones may have been hacked by the "news of the world," have sat in a police evidence room. now stars including david beckham and paul mccartney reportedly claim they are among these names. while british actor jude law has claimed his phone was hacked while in the u.s. legal experts say this opens the way to possible prosecution in the u.s. where the fbi is already investigating allegations of phone hacking family member of 9/11 victims. >> up until a few weeks ago this

was just a british problem. but with the resignation of the publisher of "the wall street journal," you've seen no part of rupert murdoch's media empire appears to be immune from this crisis. >> reporter: with each day come more allegations. one thing that does seem certain, the full extent of this scandal is not yet known. again, rebekah brooks arrested this morning in connection with the phone-hacking scandal. much more on "nightly news" tonight. jenna? >> thank you very much. i guess the one thing to think about is how much of what's happening over there is going to filter into what the murdoch empire owns over here in the united states. >> we've seen them play overnight, drip, drip, drip, new rev layings. we'll have more tonight. and how it could potentially affect investigations going on here in the united states. we'll have that coming up. chris jansing at the news desk. good morning. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> we begin in los angeles where

the much balanly-hood carmagedd has turned out t carmaheaven. >> reporter: good morning. as construction cruise begin their work this morning, behind me just seems drivers are heeding warnings and staying off the roads through the weekend. they have shut down ten miles of the 405 freeway, the notoriously busy 405 for 53 hours this weekend while they demolish half of the bridge in a road widening project. lapd says no major reports of problems on the roads. l.a.x. officials say no problems at the airports. the 405 is one of the busiest roads in the country. billboards have been up for months warning drivers about the closure. the road is expected to be back up and running tomorrow morning at 5:00. >> thank you so much. on saturday president obama met with the dalai lama, exiled tibetan spiritual leader for 45 minutes. while the president praised his nonviolent efforts he reiterated

the u.s. does not support independence for tibet. chinese officials say it damages relationships between the two countries. ann curry talked with the dalai lama yesterday. you can catch that interview tomorrow on "today." finally an out of the world opening day for the final harry potter film.

dangerous heat across the middle part of the country. now, you look at these temperatures for the afternoon. in some cases, especially to the north and northern plains, you can add another five to even 15 degrees to this. we are going to see some storms to the north and monsoonal moisture moving into the southwest as well. and around the bay area today it will be another comfortable day once we lose some of the low clouds and light rain and drizzle we have around the bay area this morning. we're talking mostly 60s and 70s for the inner bay. you will get numbers closer to 80 inland towards sacramento and morgan hill for the afternoon. but if you want to find more july-like weather, you'll probably have to wait until the middle part of the week as high pressure builds in and the low clouds retreat to the coastline. we'll see temperatures inland in the 80s and 90s as we head toward thursday and friday. that's a look at your weather. back to you. up next on "today," into the wild. jenna, amy and myself commune
