10:02 am
now, nadia, you'll remember, was last seen riding her bike in winter springs, florida, in her neighborhood. authorities found her bike with her hat placed on the handle bars. since then it's been an intense ifr five-day search. authorities combing the woods near her homes, several ponds and swampy areas nearby. a difficult several days. nadia bloom suffers from asperger's syndrome, mildly autistic. we're expecting a news conference shortly. right now we're joined by wfla radio. michelle, just incredible news. so often it doesn't end so positively. here it sounds like we have the very best situation. do we know more about who found the girl and how they found her. >> what we're hearing is a church volunteer found her this morning. instead of being part of the organized search effort, that volunteer went on their own. it was an extremely densely
10:03 am
wooded area they found her in. it was part of a big two-mile plot they were trying to search but hadn't gotten into yet. the church member said he found her in the wooded area sitting there alone, lots of bug bites. we're hearing she's in pretty good condition all things considered. >> it's incredible. how is she, do we know? has she seen her family? sounds like physically she's okay. >> we're just getting information. just like you, we're waiting for the press conference. physically, she's in pretty good condition. surprisingly, since she hasn't had food or water, it is a swampy area, lake filled area. there was plenty of water around her, perhaps she was making use of that while out there. >> michelle, wfaa radio, thanks so much for joining us on breaking news. we want to go to mark potter with nbc news following this story from the beginning. mark, what an incredible ending to the story. what more can you tell us about how this girl was found, when was she found and what is her condition right now. >> what i can tell you is we do
10:04 am
have an absolute confirmation after working on it for about 40 minutes from the chief of police here in winter springs, kevin burnel, who says, indeed, he confirms categorically that 11-year-old nadia bloom has been found alive in a wooded area, saying she was covered with mosquito bites, missing her shoes but very definitely, the most important point, alive. she's being taken out of that area by paramedics and will be taken to the hospital for an evaluation and care. so that is the best possible news. they were really starting to lose hope a bit, because this search had gone on since friday. that meant that she spent four nights in that wooded area by herself away from her family and she was found this morning. the story about a church member has been confirmed also by the church, which is right on the back side of that camera. i'm looking at it now. another church member in a private search party came across the little girl, found her again
10:05 am
to be covered from mosquito bites, perhaps covering from exposure but most definitely alive. there's a big flurry of activity here starting 40 minutes ago as the story came out. scrambling to get confirmation, word that police had gone into the area. police said she had been found. wouldn't say if she was dead or alive, but now the best possible news coming from the chief him that nadia bloom, 11 years old, has been found alive in the wooded area where police always suspected that she had gone. they had a parallel criminal investigation in case she was abducted. they had talked to known sexual predators or offenders in the area but it was the wooded area where they found her. >> and no suspicion of any sort of foul play here, no notion she was kidnapped and left behind. this seems to be a girl who wandered off from all we can glean now from officials. >> we don't know. the picture seems to point in
10:06 am
that direction. we cannot confirm that. we are waiting for the chief to come here shortly to hold a formal news conference before live cameras and we hope to have that soon. >> we'll follow that. mark potter thanks for bringing us up to speed. we're keeping an eye on american airlines flight making emergency landing. this happened in iceland after reports of chemical fumes. several passengers complained of dizziness. emergency teams are on the ground waiting for the plane. the flight departed from paris, its final destination isn't known. we're keeping our eye on that and we'll bring you tape as soon as it comes in. meanwhile in washington leaders from 47 countries are meeting for the second and last day of the nuclear security summit in washington discussing how to keep nuclear material out of the hands of terrorists. president obama's summit had two major achievements on day one. china agreeing to pursue economic sanctions against iran and ukraine saying it will get
10:07 am
rid of all weapon grade nuclear material by 2012. president obama stressing the urgency of the summit just moments ago. >> just the smallest amount of plutonium, about the size of an apple, could kill and injure hundreds of thousands of innocent people. terrorist networks such as al qaeda have tried to acquire material for a nuclear weapon. and if they ever succeeded, they would surely use it. >> joining me now, msnbc political analyst richard wolffe. richard, i'll ask you about a couple of victories but first i want to ask you about something the president said before we got into the breaking news news about the missing girl in florida. the president introduced the leader of south korea saying this will be where our next summit is held. no accident on location there. >> reporter: no accident. you're looking at countries that have got nuclear technologies and kept them on ice. if there is going to be a nuclear arms race in asia, you'd
10:08 am
expect china, japan, korea to be in the mix. it's important for this administration this summit isn't just photo ops but continuation and follow-through. that is an important development. >> let's talk about china agreeing to work on sanctions against iran. reluctant they are hesitant obviously. how much of this is in agreement on paper, how much will this will we see concrete results? >> in the language of the u.n. they have instructed them to work on language of sanctions. the chinese have done this before, gone through this before, coming up with the machinations only to water it down at the last minute. this work has been going on. this is a more formal order. the chinese sense of pace is frankly not in tune with what the administration is, an urgent series of events developing with iran and they want to move quickly. >> richard wolffe at the white house. richard, thank you so much. >> thank you, monica.
10:09 am
conservatives may have a new weapon as they prepare to fight president obama's nomination for the supreme court, the tea party. conservative lawmakers are trying to recruit tea party activists to help them beat back any nominee that may be too liberal for their taste. president obama hopes to have his pick to replace justice john paul stevens confirmed by august. democrat from maryland on the judiciary committee joins us now. let me ask you first on reports of tea party involvement. do you think this will hurt or help the process? >> i think the president needs to look for the very best person for the court. there should be no litmus test as to who should be appointed. it's certainly right for people to express their views but i hope we're not trying to set up a litmus test on who the president should report. >> there are reports democrats are hoping to turn the confirmation hearings into a referendum of sorts on recent
10:10 am
controversial decisions portraying conservative as goliath trampling on the rights of average americans? >> i do think the so-called conservative justices have been the most active reversing legislation passed by congress and reversing prior precedent of the court. but the truth is, if you look at justice stevens, to me he's the model which we would like to see the next justice follow, justice stevens was appointed. he was a moderate. he's always been looked on as a very deliberate judge, one who brings consensus among his colleagues. that's the type of person we're looking for, someone who can bring consensus on the supreme court. >> let me ask you, there's many liberals who say the judicial nominees thus far have been more middle of the road than the left would like to see. do you agree with that? >> again, i don't like to characterize or label the appointments. i think they have been solid appointments. they have added to the bench. they are ones who want to follow
10:11 am
court precedent and advance civil liberties and constitutional rights for all americans. >> the gop hasn't ruled out a filibuster. how concerned are you? >> well, i hope it doesn't come to that. i think that the american people are entitled to an up or down vote by the united states senate on the appointments to the supreme court. i think it's way too early to start speculating as to the process that will be used in the senate. i think all of us are looking forward to the senate carrying out its constitutional responsibility, a full, deliberative hearings and vetting all the information and then having an up or down vote. >> all right. as we get closer to that point, sir, hope to speak to you again. thank you. coming up at 3:00 p.m. eastern we'll talk to former solicitor general ken starr about the president's pick for the supreme court. a big victory for senate democrats in our top story lawmakers moving forward on a package to extend expired benefits to hundreds of thousands of jobless americans. the measure getting a boost after four republicans,

10:17 am
we continue to follow breaking news this morning out of winter springs, florida. that 11-year-old girl nadia bloom who has been missing now for more than four days has been found alive. she's believed to be in relatively good condition. the latest reports we're getting is that a member of a church out helping with tin the search are this very difficult search area, swampy, full of ponds, water, dense forest. she apparently was found by a member, a volunteer from that church. they say again that she's in
10:18 am
relatively good condition. they say she's been brought up by paramedics to an area hospital where she will be looked at more closely. there was an ongoing criminal investigation going along the side essentially sidelines, they called it. but they say now, as far as we know, we're expecting a news conference from officials, but as far as we know this young girl is alive and well and there does not appear to be any foul play. appears to be the best possible ending to the story. we'll follow that and bring you more live pictures as they come in and more information. 11-year-old nadia bloom missing in winter springs, florida, is alive and well. moving on russian officials, state department and a tennessee sheriff are now involved in that devastating russian adoption case. torry hansen, the adoptive mom who sent her son back to russia alone could face charges of neglect or abandonment. officials admit, it's complicated. >> it appears to me what we're going to have to do at this point is continue the investigation, try to dig into
10:19 am
and get enough evidence to bring charges. >> meantime a state department team in russia, they are trying to smooth things over so u.s. adoptions can continue. michelle monitors international adoptions for the state department and is with us now. in terms of the state department in russia, how much are they focusing on the specific boy and how much are they focusing on u.s. adoptions in general? >> well, the russians and americans share an interest to make sure that every single adoption of a child to or from russia is handled in the best possible way, that the parents are carefully checked out and prepared for the responsibilities that they are going to undertake and that they are given the support that they need to have a successful new family after the child arrives in the united states. that's something that both of our governments are very interested in looking for ways to improve. >> now, there was a quote from chuck johnson, the acting chief
10:20 am
executive of the national council for adoption. they are working with the state department to place this boy apparently if he returns, which sounds surpriseing to a lot of people, especially given the level of outrage among the russians. he says, quote, this child is a u.s. citizen. the parental rights are still in effect. >> it's true justin is an american citizen as well as a russian citizen. the issue really is not whether he's going to live in russia or in the united states. the important thing is to work to have him placed what loving, secure family that can meet his needs. >> it would appear the russians would think there is an issue. it would be hard to believe the russians would be willing to let him come back to the u.s. because of what happened. >> again, our interest is in what's best for this little boy, that he's placed in a good,
10:21 am
secure, loving home. whether that home is in russia or the united states is not the point. >> are you concerned about the future of american-russian adoptions going forward for all those families stuck waiting now? >> well, there aren't any families stuck waiting. adoptions do continue in russia. we have been talking to the russians for some time about finding ways to focus on the issues that seem to be common to the rare cases that don't go well, that actually end in tragedy. so we are going to be working with them to identify what the issues tend to be and to find ways to address those so that we have consistently better and safer adoptions going forward. >> all right. michelle bond, thank you so much. >> you're welcome. an unexpected message today from one of the more provocative female artists out there, lady gaga, now telling her fans to stay sell bat. the 24-year-old known for her

10:26 am
journey of the first african-american president. david rem nick joins us to talk about the book. i want to start with the title, "the bridge." this comes from something civil rights leader said the day after barack obama's inauguration. he said, quote, barack obama is what comes at the end of that bridge in selma. tell us about that moment. >> well, for john lewis, this was an exceptional moment. obviously for anybody from the civil rights generation to live long enough after having their heads bashed in and demonstrations broken up and people denied the vote as late as 1965 to live to see the election of an african-american president was an extraordinary moment. >> certainly. the president's law professor and friend told you his black identity was not given to him he sought it. that's a distinction on how he views his racial identity. >> we've known this for a while.
10:27 am
barack obama grew up in hawaii. if you know about hawaii, it prides itself on multi-culturalism except for one thing, there aren't many african-americans around. most are on military bases. barack obama grew up with an absent father, as we know. he's somebody who had to go out and find his identity in the way most don't. most have it at their kitchen table, their community, church, synagogues. it's all around them. obama had to watch television, seek it out, read books. finally when it gets to the mainland, not until either to the south side of chicago really where he finds a sense of community and purpose. >> there's also a great story in the book i think a lot of people certainly now given the economic times can relate to. you talk about him arriving at the 2000 democratic convention in los angeles. he's just lost this tough race to bobby rush. he shoes up at the car rental counter at the airport and his american express card is
10:28 am
declined. everybody has had those days. >> not only is it declined, he has no ticket for the convention. this is in 2000. in 2004, of course, he comes to the convention, he gives the speech afterlife time and becomes a national figure, even though he's only a state senator. and when he goes back to logan airport to leave to return to chicago, he's now triumphant. he's known all over the country and even the world. what happens to him is he gets pulled over for extra security and his white campaign manager says, what is going on? obama says, this has been happening to me all my life. so race remains a very complicated thing. we do not live in a post racial utopia by any means. >> great story and book. thanks for joining us, we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> be sure to tune in sunday at noon eastern, the msnbc especially, debating the black agenda hosted by my colleagues

10:37 am
it is literally an outcry of emotion, something personally i haven't seen since the death of jfk. the same type of emotion. you mentioned the memorial service. there will be one on saturday for the 96 individuals who died, many of them coming back now, several at a time after they have been identified. of course on sunday there will be the state funeral for the presidential couple. back to you, monica. >> all right. hard to see how a country emotionally recovers from that. jim maceda, thank you so much. pope benedict's birth place in germany vandalized three days before the pontiff's 83rd birthday. police say the words written on the home were, quote, obscene and insulting. officials refuse to release the exact words but said it could possibly be linked to the child abuse scandal that rocked the church recently. battle weary democrats
