i'm not going to have closure until he's home. >> reporter: nick payton walsh, cnn. >> if you wondered him, it was because his captors sent his e-mail and sent messages to his mother and friends saying he was fine and he was there extending his trip to take more pictures. they weren't really worried about him. that's why people didn't ask questions for a while. >> no closure after this ordeal. he still has no idea what happened to his cell mate. >> you and i discussed this. you know those places. you've been up close. this is the kind of thing that can happen. >> i've been in those places but i would not go today because the armed opposition of a year and a half ago which was largely village, civil defense units, people protecting their community have largely been eclipsed very sadly by al qaeda linked groups. it's not safe to work with. >> too dangerous. >>> here is more of what we're working on. ♪ >> this russian punk group used a song in the cathedral to criticism vladmir putin. it landed some of them in prison and now they're tryi ining agai get out of jail. hotels.com. the deals t

i think we've reestablished our connection with nick payton walsh at the united stations. how much more knowledgeable about this chemical weapons attack will we be between now and september 9 when congress is scheduled to come back into session, nick? >> reporter: quite likely considerably more knowledgeable. we don't know the timeline. in fact, the u.n. spokesman was very keen to not provide one, but he did repeat how much the u.n. security general wanted to expedite the process here. that process is some of them have landed in the hague. we understand those inspectors are gathering those together. tomorrow testing may begin. also tomorrow, sunday, the man who is heading that part of the mission to the netherlands will brief him on how that process is going. one other expert we've been talking to just to get a feel for how long this could take suggested we're probably looking at about a week at this point. that would take us to about the 6th, 7th of september. so it is entirely possible in the course of international public opinion, we might have some information from the

nick payton walsh is watching this developing. nick, it has been five days since we first became aware of this terrorist threat and what we have seen today, the threat is clearly still ongoing. so why else would the u.s., why would briton, those folks be getting out of yemen? >> reporter: well, certainly the threat whilst being starved, anything from west africa, bangladesh to yemen, even though they thought it would be last sunday, it's ongoing. no one is clear where this is coming from. the state department is continuing to evaluate new information. that withdrawal of diplomatic staff you've been talking about, that has been emotional for a couple of days. the u.s. did repeat its normal travel advice to most americans to get out of yemen and never travel there anyway. a certain escalation on their part today. many asking is it possibly the drone strikes overnight against militants in yemen that may have contributed to that that now bringing it to four in ten days or is it what yemeni officials are talking about, the potential of

. >> i want to bring in nick payton walsh. talk about what we hear now with this credible and serious threat. what kind of details are you getting? >> reporter: it's extraordinarily broad in the threat which it suggests could be out there. it will expire on august 31st. going back to what you were mentioning, an extraordinarily broad geographic range and as far west as mauritania. i counted over 20 separate posts. very specific timing of warning. this sunday, august 4th, i spoke to some embassies who think they will be open again as normal on monday. what precisely is this warning that relates to sunday. some say we're edging toward the end of the month month of ramadan where many muslims fast and perhaps toward the end there may be greater religious significance where islamist extremists feel that's the time to strike. >> there are some who say that the ghost of benghazi hanging over this in terms of timing. >> reporter: there's the phrase the abundance of caution. you hear a lot from the state department. i'm sure nobody wan

nick payton walsh is joining us from cairo. the court acquitted him but he still faces many more serious charges. mainly the murders of killings of those protesters. what would be the purpose of releasing him? >> reporter: that's whatnot clear at this point. is it the army looking after its own. let me unpack the con my indicated legal situation we've been trying to observe from the last few hours. he's been in jail for a long time awaiting trail. you can't be in jail on a charge for longer than two years without a conviction. that time has lapsed and that's why a court is saying he should be released. we've heard on state media, the general prosecutor saying he's not going to appeal. nothing stands in the way of him being back in freedom. he still has to face this most important charge, be retried again for violence against protesters during the 2011 revolution. will probably have to stay inside egypt awaiting that court appearance. >> the timing for this is astoun astoundsing. you've had a coup in the last month and perhaps u

cnn's nick payton walsh is in cairo for us.you can't move around easily with the curfew but what do you know about this incident in cairo? what can you tell us? >> reporter: well, during the day, large number of muslim brotherhood individuals taken prison here in central cairo were being moved from the center of the city to a prison on the outskirts to the north. it appears during this, some state media reports conflicting here, but some suggest militants attacked part of the convoy or a police officer traveling with the prisoners taken hostage. at the end of the day, there are now 36, at least of those prisoners dead. suffocated to death by teargas fired in to the vehicle they were traveling in. but this comes after a day of comparative calm here in central cairo. the muslim brotherhood planned two large protest marches to move towards two government buildings and the military always threatened to use live ammunition to repel anyone that threatens state institutions. dusting and the curfew set in, the marches were scaled back

nick payton walsh joins us now.hey are voting on david cameron's motion, that would take an initial step of authorizing military action. but it's very weak as i understand it. go ahead and explain what's going on in london right now, nick. >> reporter: it's complex but it's how british politics works. at this point there are two ideas be tabled before the parliament. the first is from the opposition, which is a different idea, which suggests what they refer to as a sequential road map, which would require compelling evidence the regime was behind the attacks, a full report from the u.n. inspectors, a much higher burden of evidence and proof on the government before there could be another vote which could authorize u.k. participation and military action. they've gone out of the chamber to vote on that. they will then come back in and then go out again in order to vote on the u.k. government motion, which is slightly less complex. it says we need to hear back from the u.n. inspectors to hear what they have to say and

i want to bring in nick payton walsh from cairo. nick, give me the latest from the ground. >> reporter: it's comparatively quiet here. first day of the working week and there are protest marches called by the muslim brotherhood for the hours ahead which will go towards two key government buildings. the military promised to respond to any move toward the institutions with live gunfire, so concerns about potential violence in the future here. politically we have seen the former vice president for foreign affairs resignation now accepted, heads to the airport here in cairo, bound, as reported, for vienna. no comments as yet from him of the and continuing now international condemnation, the eu saying that they're reviewing their relations with egypt and the united kingdom saying that they would like to see all sides refrain from violence. but bear in mind we've seen potentially a thousand people killed in the recent crackdown. so far, rhetoric from most western capitals has been threatening future action rather than strongly moving to pu

i want to bring in nick payton walsh. we are being told it's serious and you have embassies that are close ed on sunday. what are we learning about beyond sunday and the level of threat we're dealing with here. >> reporter: where i'm standing in beirut the embassy is normally closed on sunday but the indication is they will open as normal on monday which gives you an idea of how time specific they believe this threat to be. the baghdad embassy does express they might extend the closure a few days beyond. an incredibly large amount of terrain covered here. very fine moment of sunday. a key night in the religious observant month of ramadan. some my interpret those days as a time when islamic extremists may think it was more apt to strike. this key issue focused on sunday. >> thank you. i want to bring in jim acosta from the white house. it's briefed about the embassy closures. what is he saying about the level of this threat? >> no surprise. white house officials are being very tight lipped. they're not saying very much abo

nick payton walsh is our man at the united nations right now. nick, i assume they're breathing a little bit easier. other u.n. officials. the u.s. is delayed at least 10 to 15 days. any notion of a military strike? >> reporter: i suppose on one hand he made it clear he thinks military action is appropriate, but yes, there is this 10-day delay now, which will feed into the secretary general here, and of course when asked earlier, his spokesman said, is a war without a resolution legal, and he effectively said it wouldn't be. what this time period now presents by barack obama does do is significantly increase the likelihood that we will have heard from u.n. inspect or's report before congress meets or around about when they begin that process. we don't have an exact timeline from the u.n. in fact, they're very keen to stay away from it, but they also stress they will expedite this process as quick as possible, and we're talking about samples being taken from the latest chemical sites in syria. they're probably going to start that in the laboratorie

i want to go straight to cairo to our senior international correspondent, nick payton-walsh.is dark, it is quiet because of the curfews. are protesters still there? set the scene for me. >> reporter: we have seen a significant ebbing of protests in the past 24 to 48 hours, starting yesterday when two key marches were called off. what we have today, as you said, seen the violence in the sinai, some of that tenuously related to the muslim brotherhood but the gory pictures of what state media said were executed soldiers about to go home on leave have been prominently displayed on televisions here, bolstering the government would say its argument that it's fighting terrorism across the country. you mentioned the jailbreak that seemed to have gone terribly wrong according to different reports yesterday. we are speaking to relatives of people who were killed in that particular instance, relatives say reporting distorted corpses, intense suffocation. one man in fact arrested from the mosque crackdown herded into a stadium where he posted a facebook status update, telling his parents

nick payton walsh is in cairo.orning and blamed terrorists for violence. this is a phrase we hear a lot coming from that region. >> reporter: this is very much the government pushing forward a campaign in the media. many were said as peaceful. they play the video which we can't verify showing people shooting from the brotherhood side toward police often over barricades. today we're seeing cairo relatively calm. the fears are this is the working week beginning. people will get off work in the hours ahead. the brotherhood have called protesters on the streets to march toward key government buildings. the military has warned they will respond with live fire if they feel state institutions are threatened. really the concern is when you hear that rhetoric labeling the protesters as terrorists, the desire from the government to see no real negotiation happening here and the brotherhood continuing to call their people onto the street because many say unless they have protests, they slip into the underground as irrelevant.
