state. which means, gas prices go up for us. this is an absolute disaster in the making. >> suez in jeopardy, gas prices. is that a realistic possibility in this situation? >> reporter: well, there's no doubt that egypt is cornerstone of stability in the middle east. all of those things that senator li lindsey graham mentioned, could play out. the increasing lawless nns the northern part of sinai, these rising mill about the attacks are becoming more and more brazen and more and more deadly. that's giving egyptian officials major concern. if it spreads out to other parts of egypt it could threaten the stability of this country and the rest of this region. all right, here at home, conditions out west are perfect

for wildfires and that's not perfect at all when you think about what's going on there. 44 burning. none worst than the beaver creek fire. the first fires laid out 10,000 homes are in jeopardy and more than 1,000 firefighters are trying to get things under control as the flames threaten some tourist towns prompting widespread evacuations and bringing business to a halt. they're facing a trifecta affecting -- weather topography and the fuels. >> carrying the sparks a long distance. turning now to 2016 politics. it appears new jersey governor chris christie giving serious consideration to a run for

giuliani will host a fund-raiser for the governor later this month. more controversy surrounding edward snowden's nsa leaks. late yesterday, the partner of glenn greenwaddle, the guardian reporter who broke the snowden story. his partner was detained for nine hours at heathrow. they detained him under antiterrorism legislation. hold and question people for possible ties for terrorism. greenwald expressed his outrage -- it's a total abuse of the law. this is only a serious, radical escalation of what they are doing. he's my partner, he's not even a journalist. >> a spokesman for the british foreign ministry said that the episode was quote a police matter and would not provide any further comment. the recall effort against

san diego mayor bob filner has become in earnest. filner has been accused by at least 16 women by unwanted sexual advances. now trying to get him out of office has a month to get 197,000 signatures. they took events across the city to get out the message. despite his admitting his behavior was quote wrong early on he has resisted calls to leave the office. city officials could also try to remove him by investigating by whether he misused his city-issued credit cart. ral kelly blasting the ruling that the nypd's use of the stop and frisk tactic is unconstitutional. warning that people will die as a result of this decision. >> the mayor has been outspoken

on this issue. do you agree as a police commissioner? if a program like stop and frisk is abandoned will people die? >> well, i think, no question about it, violent crime will go up. again, this is not a program. this is something that's integral to policing. >> david gregory also spoke with trayvon martin's mother who slammed the stop and frisk tactic. >> you can't give people to police, civilian whether theyju because of the color of their skin. the markets looking for some decent news. third straight day of losses on friday. although they weren't a lot on friday, it was the worst weekly
