>> well, i was standing on the front line where protesters have had this confrontation with the security forces, and all of a sudden some riot police crossed over on to our side and some of the people were standing around me managed to get away, but i was cornered by four or five riot police and they beat me with their sticks. that's how i got the break on my left arm and on my right hand. then dragged me beyond the front line into this no-man's-land all the way to the interior ministry close by and as they were taking me there, i experienced a terrible sexual assault and basically just hands everywhere. groping my breasts, hands between my legs. i lost count of the number of hands trying to get in my pants, calling me terrible names. fell to the ground at one point, they grabbed me by my hear. what happened to me is not unique to me. this was the brutality one of the main catalysts to the -- i wanted to basically say this revolution will not continue. i will not be hijacked by the supreme council of the armed forces and won't be hijacked by security forces who beat me and so many other egyptians. >> when you were eventually taken into custody you were held for 12 hours. at times you were blindfolded. what sorts of questions, what did they want to get out of, exactly? >> well, they claimed -- i was held in two places. first at the ministry of the interior where i was grabbed and beaten, just outside there i was grabbed and beaten. once inside i was not physically abused at all, but it was basically four, five hours of just these -- first i wasn't sure what they wanted. they kept saying i didn't have my identification papers on me. left them so they wouldn't get lost on the front line. they wanted to make sure i was who i said i was. i was there five hours. they kept me that long because they found my papers and ip was a journalist for a long time. i don't know why they kept me so long in the interior ministry and then handed me over to intelligence. i said i didn't have to go because i was a journalist. there i was kept four, five hours again. two of which i spent blindfolded and again questions about my identity and after a while i refused to answer their questions anymore. i can't really tell what you they were doing all those 10 to 12 hours. whether sheer and utter incompetence or a journalist who has a past of covering human rights violations. >> and they wanted to terrify you. a picture of your hand at the time. your hand is clearly swollen. did they at all acknowledge you were physically hurt?

anything they can do if this sort of thing happens to them? >> well, i will be taking legal recourse. i have consulted and attorney and i have documented all the injuries i've suffered, got my x-rays and will be taking legal recourse. i'm still consulting with attorneys to determine exactly what we're going to do, but unfortunately because of these decades of abuse and brutality and the fear that the security forces instilled in the egyptian, many don't know what they're rights are and this is weren't of the reasons that the revolution started on january 25th. we have a long rhistory of brav activists too tried to get the word out what our rights are. as an egyptians, thousands will come to tahrir square today. i hope the free egypt we will create that is free of police brutality will be an egypt that respects everybody's human rights regardless of gender or sexual orientation, but an egypt free of brutality. >> thank you so much for being with us this morning and having the courage to tell your sorry. we appreciate your efforts. mona, thank you for being with us on "american morning." a helicopter pilot who survived a stunning crash is now talking about how he managed to walk away from the wreckage with just a couple of scratches. he was installing lights on a waterfront christmas display in auckland, new zealand when things went horribly wrong. you may remember the story from earlier in the week. the chopper clipped a cable, broke apart. look at that. the pilot says he was saved by his seat belt. >> because it happened so quickly, it was like a dream, really. a bang and the next thing, i was undoing my belt. i don't know whether that was my head that actual hi hit that. a little graze here. my left leg has a few of those. the belt which is attached to the floor of the aircraft, okay?

>> reporter: the people here are basically demanding one bake thing, and that is, an end to the ruling military council. they want to transition immediately to a civilian government. how to do that, nobody really has an answer for that. and as far as concessions, the former civilian government, which many saw as a puppet to the ruling army generals, it did resign on mass a couple days ago, but that's not what the people here were canning for. some even want the elections, though you'll find different opinions here. they're basically arguing that what it takes to get concessions and compromise from the ruling generals is people power like this. so they're not going to give up ground until we get what they want and that's basically for the generals to resign and the end to the culture of impunity on the port of the security forces where they beat up and actually shot protesters nap triggered this whole thing last saturday when 200 protesters in this very same square were attacked by security forces and some of them were killed. back to you. >> ivan watson reporting live from cairo. thanks so much. back to the big story in this country. looking for the best deal this black friday?

>> a great question. everybody's using their smartphones these days. because we're using our smartphones, big retailers are getting smart saying we're going to offer deals on your phone. you can download an app and get a coupon. groupon has a great way of doing that. point to the store and say, scan this and i'll get 15% off. it does work. >> retailers have become very smart, too. they know when you're in the store. they're tracking you via your cell phone and able to target you while you're there. >> everybody's getting smarter. it's cool and a little creepy. >> it's a little scary, that's right. let's get to the top five apps. start with two popular ones that are actually pretty similar. t.g.i. black friday and the black friday app. how do they work? >> the go-to app for black friday. it's a way to keep track of the latest deals and you can actually get -- these apps give you notification. show you right here. take a look. you open up an app. it's going to offer up over 10,000 popular deals happening from all the major retailers. the newest ads, which is very, very cool. what it's also going to do, divide it into stores. apple has 92 deals today. you know. so that's a very great way to stay on top of it. you can save them all to a list. e-mail yourself while shopping. search right here. if you look at categories. say you want to buy furniture. look and find all the best deals for furniture. there's another very similar called the black friday app. all are available on iphone and android. this one also offers up big retailers. best buy, costco. the thing i like about the black friday app, they're literally offering up a new deal after 15 minutes. a little bored, look on your phone. you can see right now the latest one is something from dell. what you can do is decide if you want that deal, and really the whole aspect sheer you can buy it from the app. if you're not sure you want it, post it on facebook, on twitter, ask your friends. what do you think? am i going to waste my money on this? that's a really, really great way to actually stay up to date on the latest deals. >> get to the next one. zarley. this sounds interesting. what is it? >> say you're in bed and can find out that that tv you wanted is being sold at target. it's on sale. what you can do, if you don't want to get out of bed, is you can go to zarley and outsource your arrangements to your community. outsource, someone can wait in line and pick it up. >> a modern day craigslist. >> that's how they describe it. wait on black friday, add in details. you go and say how much you're willing to pay. pay someone $50. it evens out. press next, when will the listing expire, two hours. with a couple click, zarley it. it goes out to the website and all the people. >> sounds risky. the person on the other side running the errand, you have to put the money up if you want to bay product or something like that, you have to pay for it first and then -- are there safeguards in place for that? >> a great question. there absolutely are. all the money is transferred how that zarley. i got on the phone and asked this exact thing. is this safe? it really is. they wait to transfer the funds until you report back and say, okay. i have this. the biggest question, can you find someone who can actually front you to purchase the television. >> exactly. the next one. with four square a lot of people are familiar with four square, now you can get deals going on to four square checking in. right? >> yes. you usually have to check in over and over again to get the discounts. the great thing about black friday is they're working with tons of different retailers saying if you go into sports authority, you check in. if you spend $100 you automat automatically get $5. check in at a sports store, you might get a $500 sports certificate. it's a cool thing. they've teamed up also with american express for saturday. you don't want to go out on black friday. but if you go to a local mercha merchant, you can find them on the app, spend $25 on your american express, they're going to credit you $25. >> next is snap tell? >> it's interesting. one of my favorites. you're in a store and see a dvd, a cd, they say this is the best price. now what you can do, take a picture and i will actually show you right here. you take a picture of it. of, let's say a book in a store. say it says it's a certain amount of money. once you take the pick color on the ad, press use and scan the bar code also. it's going to show you all the prices. here i am searching for it. now it's going to show me where i can find it online, for how much. if it's in my neighborhood for a little less. this is $1.99 at a walmart. in new jersey, i can go there pickup and actually get the best price. alina, this is just the beginning. >> makes my head spin. lori siegal, thank you so much. >> thanks for having me. >> carol?

>> we had tents in front of the majority of our stores and they were waiting for some of our great doorbusters. we had a 42 inch, $199 sharp television. we had a $99 connected dvd player. they were waiting for these doorbusters. but even after the doorbusters are gone, the consumers are in and the doorbusters are doing what they're supposed to. they're representative of the great value we have throughout the stores and our consumers are pouring in and it has just been terrific. >> did it surprise you, though? the economy is down, people don't have much money and they're camping out for hours and hours on the thanksgiving day holiday. one man had shifts of relatives come in so that they could take turns eating at home and then they went right back to the tent at best buy. are they spending a lot of money or searching for bargains? what are they doing, these customers of yours? >> i tell you what, it is a great time to be a customer. there are great values available and what we're finding is customers are having multipolitems in their basket. it's not just one item, but we are seeing the consumer in and they recognize that there's great valus to be had and they're taking advantage of them. >> there have been some ugly incidents early this morning at a wall smart store in los angeles. some woman used pepper spray to get to the front of the line. how do you prevent that sort of thing from happening at your stores? >> we take our black friday preparation very, very seriously. we have rehearsals and dry runs and we are actively outside working the lines, talking to the folks that are in line. letting them know two hours before if they're in line early enough to get the doorbuster, so, they're not disappointed in the moment. we take the safety of our employees and our customiers very, very seriously. >> you have been getting criticism for opening at midnight. one employee in tampa posted an online petition. i want to read you part of that. "a midnight opening robs the hourly and in-store salary workers of time off with their families on thanksgiving day. by opening the doors at midnight, best buy is requiring team members to be in the store late on thanksgiving day. not just for the elite of this nation. all americans should be able to break bread with loved ones and get a good night's rest on thanksgiving." more than 15,000 people signed on that petition. what do you have to say to them? are you ruining thanksgiving? >> well, you know what, i don't think we are ruining thanksgiving. i think the consumer has clearly moved and wants that midnight opening. i was out last night, 8:00, just spent all night visiting stores and as i mentioned earlier, i was really surprised about a couple things. one, the sizes of the crowds and the sort of upbeat attitude of the customers. and i got to tell you, i know some of our employees were very unhappy about that opening. the majority of our employees understood the business rationale and all of our employees, certainly all the ones that i saw, rose to the moment and did a great job taking care of our customers. >> will we see next year stores opening even earlier? why not just stay open on thanksgiving day and have people shop when they want to? >> yeah, well, i certainly hope it doesn't come to stores being open on thanksgiving day. and every holiday season is different. and what i'd love to do is get us through this holiday season and then start mapping out our plans for next holiday season. >> brian dunn, thank you for joining us this morning. we appreciate it. >> thank you. a developing story now. the white house this morning is now weighing in on the leadership crisis in egypt. calling for a speedy transfer of power to a civilian government. that's just what protesters had been demanding. in fact, dying for. demonstrators are out again today in mass in cairo's tahrir square. cnn's ivan watson is in the thick of it. he is live in cairo for us. ivan, good morning to you. you see the demonstrations, they're just massive. they've been going on for almost the entire week now. a lot of people still asking questions. you know, why after the fall of mubarak in february, this is reminiscent of that. why are we seeing these types of protests and protester demonstrators are just angry now at the other leadership now, the interim. what was supposed to be the interim leadership. the military and, so, that's why they're out in force. they're demanding for a change and, of course, the parliamentary elections are on monday. we'll have to keep an eye on what happens there. >> there is a stealemate. they want a democracy in egypt and they want to elect their own leaders and the military keeps controlling things. you saw that the police out there in the crowd beating protesters. we talked to an egyptian american journalist earlier who said she was beaten by the military police. >> sexually assaulted. >> so, things are quite nasty there. as you can see, the protesters, they're not giving up. >> keep an eye on that. meanwhi meanwhile, keep an eye on the weather, as well. reynolds wolf is in the extreme weather center with a look at that. good morning. >> taking a sharp look at what's happening around the country. not just the shoppers, obviously, today is a huge shopping day, but a lot of people just trying to get home and start the next holiday. get closer to christmas and what not. one of the big stories out over the four corners. scattered showers and highest elevation seeing some snowfall and we take a look at the time lapse and here we go from friday and fast forward this and take you from friday and friday evening. the storm doesn't really intensify, but it will spread more shower activity into parts of the central plains and from friday evening all the way into saturday, more shower activity. again, nothing severe at this point and rain from near chicago and green bay and southward to shreveport and dallas. that's saturday morning and going saturday into sunday, we see this beginning to build into parts of the ohio valley and into the southeast. maybe some thunderstorms into parts of north georgia and seeing some no right behind it in the highest elevations back into parts. better conditions back over from chicago to st. louis. that is the big issue we're going to see seeing dealing with over the next couple days. shopping great for you along parts of the eastern seaboard. very mild this time of year and look for more cloud cover in the western great lakes and plenty of sunshine for much of the great basin into california. pacific northwest could see some snowfall in the highest elevations of the cascades. some places very close to a foot and some wind gusts very strong, too. especially i would say by late afternoon anywhere from 25 to 5 35-mile-per-hour range. just keep that in mind. that's your forecast. let's send it back to you in new york. >> thank you so much. still ahead. hungry while waiting for your flight to board?

sexual assault. basically just hand everywhere. groping, hands between my legs and i lost count of the number of hands that were trying to get into my trousers. they were calling me all kind of

thanksgiving. unbelievable. welcome back to "american morning" on this friday. it's 38 minutes after the hour and it's a whole new take on small business. a man found a way to make a little extra money in a shaky economy by renting out just about everything in his life and we mean everything. joining us from san francisco this morning is rob beticur and documents his experience in this week's issue of "newsweek." you did this for the story, but how did you come up with the idea, rob? >> i'd seen this going on. sites that allow you to rent out your extra bed to people over the internet have been around for a little while and i knew it was going on. i'd never done it personally. so, i decided why not do it full on and take two weeks and really try to make some money and rent out anything i could. >> you did make money. let's look at the first thing you rented. your old camping trailer. 45 bucks a night for it. how did that go? >> it went great. i have to tell you y was a little nervous about opening up our home and our camping trailer to complete strangers. i sat down and asked my wife, is this going to be okay and, you know, we were a little skeptical not only letting people stay with us, but giving someone our key to our house that we never met. my daughter was very excited about it. hard to explain the concept to a 4-year-old of renting your house out to strangers, but she got into it. >> we want to talk about your daughter in just a second because we want to talk about some of the other things you rented. the car, that could be had for $150 a week. your old guitar, $50 a month for that. you went after your 4-year-old's daughter's bike for $5 a day. how did that go over with her? >> she's 4. so her attention can be diverted really easily. we discussed it and i think she came around to it. we got a little extra cash and we could use that to buy balloons or something. so t was sort of a wash. >> so, you're going to let her use the money. that's fair. here's the one that really got us. you rented your dog. now, why in the world would you rent, now, why in the world would you rent that cute dog? >> why would i do that? good question, alina. our dog has been a great, loyal member of the family but she hasn't been pitching in financially, right? i thought it was time to make clementine sort of pay her fair share and she's lazing around most of the day, sleeping on her bed. and it turns out there are people who love dogs who aren't able to have one in their apartment. i found exactly such a person by putting an ad on craigslist and i met up with her and let her play with cleme for an hour and she paid me $3. it was sort of a win/win situation. i got paid to have someone exercise my dog. >> all right, so, like babysitting kids. you have it for a while and then give it back to the owner. your daughter's bike and you rented your electric sander, your deck. you did this for two weeks. how much did you make in the end? >> $654.85. >> all right, that's a little less than i thought, to be honest. i thought you would have made a little bit more. not bad. >> hey, i was impressed. >> okay. >> didn't take too much work. >> it will go towards a holiday shopping, hopefully. this was, obviously, an experiment for you. what was the take away from all of this? >> there were a couple. you know, as i said, i was pretty skeptical about giving my things out to strangers. a woman rented my electric sander and she seemed nice, for all i knew she could have been the serial sander snatcher of san francisco. you know, who knows what you're going to get. my faith in humanity was restored a little bit by the people i met. we don't meet our neighbors as much these days as we might have in the past and we're online a lot and we have social networks, but we tend to not meet people in real life in the same kind of ways. the other is that we all have a lot of stuff that's sitting around, not being used. and it can be -- >> don't need to tell me. >> use it to make a little cash. that's right, everybody can look in their basement and find things that might be a new revenue stream. >> as a journalist, i'm happy to report you got a story out of it, too. rob baedeker, thank you so much for joining us. >> he has a good attitude. >> he made 600 some odd dollars. >> can't beat that. morning headlines coming
