0 machine gunfire. tear gas. military choppers. the chaos erupting in e yipt. protesters calling it a friday of anger as the government crackdown shows no signs of slowing down. i'm brooke baldwin. the news is now. a dad begs chris christie, don't let my daughter die. today, the republican governor reveals his decision on weed. >> what if i told you you were actually swinging right next to this little boy. >> what? >> do missing posters really help? wait until you see this experiment. plus, one of america's biggest secrets no more. the truth behind area 51. and -- ♪ if you can't hear what i'm trying to say ♪ >> does this summer's biggest hit sound a little too similar to a marvin gay song? a new lawsuit takes up that a new lawsuit takes up that fight. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com top of the hour. i'm brooke baldwin. we begin with the biggest story in the world once again. egypt. they are calling it a day of anger. right now a military imposed curfew. and today more bloodshed. bringing the death toll for the week to more than 600 just one day after the egyptian military threatened to open fire on anyone who attacked them or their buildings. the muslim brotherhood responding, putting out a call to all supporters of mohamed morsi, the deposed president, telling them to take their anger to the streets. and they did precisely that. our own correspondent there, reza sayah, witnessing the worst of this so-called day of anger in downtown cairo. here he was. >> reporter: let's go see what's happened. [ speaking in foreign language ] >> reporter: okay. this is someone who appears to be injured. i see a hole in his side. come this way. okay. okay. it looks -- it looks like he's been shot. and he looks remarkably calm. i saw that there could be a bullet wound in his leg. as we've seen so often, one of the fellow demonstrators taking him on a motorcycle away. and then i think we have another person who's injured. we have another person who appears to be injured on the ground here. okay. let's see if we can -- okay. this is just an awful, awful scene. >> reza there describing those shot and injured. now this. you can guess what this is. one of several makeshift morgues. bodies one after another after another. and then there's this. video showing the moment people are jumping from a bridge, down to the street below because apparently that's the better option in their attempt to avoid gunfire. reza sayah joins me now with all of this that you're taking in, that you're witnessing there with your own eyes. and now, reza, we're hearing reports of tear gas and gunfire. tell me what you're seeing and hearing right now. >> reporter: well, it's 8:00 p.m. local time. a curfew has been in effect for about an hour. it seems to have calmed things down in most neighborhoods around cairo. we're monitoring state tv. it looks like some activity taking place in a few neighborhoods. a building is on fire. so it looks like some protesters are still out. but this was another bloody and violent day where more egyptians were injured and more egyptians were killed. and it's becoming increasingly clear that this country is sliding deeper and deeper into turmoil and uncertainty. and what's even more worrisome is there's absolutely no sign of anyone coming up with a solution to end this conflict. there are conflicting death tolls. authorities say 17 people have been killed, at least. and 40 people have been injured. but that number seems low based on what we witnessed in only one neighborhood in cairo. that particular neighborhood earlier today, i counted at least 40 people who were injured. many had been shot. many were hurt badly. of course, all of this part of a day of anger. what was dubbed by the muslim brotherhood. it was supposed to be their response to the bloody government crackdown on wednesday that killed hundreds of people. this was supposed to be their way of saying, we're not down. we're still standing. and we're still fighting. their plan was to march to a final destination, a major square called ramsey square. but security forces had blocked off several thoroughfares to that location. and that's where the clashes took place. what makes reporting so difficult in these situations is that it's virtually impossible to figure out who starts these gunfights. security forces say it's the protesters firing first. the protesters say it's security forces, brooke. but whoever starts it, the response from security forces is absolutely ferocious. and we're seeing the results. many people, most of them apparently unarmed based on what we saw, are injured and some are killed. >> reza sayah, thank you for your reporting in cairo for us. this unsettling scene that we've been watching in cairo and also neighboring cities, it is being watched the world over. no more so than in egypt's tiny neighbor israel. cnn's jim clancy is there in jerusalem for us. the time there just after 9:00 p.m. the jewish sabbath has begun. jim, how nervous are the israelis about what's happening just next door? >> reporter: nervous. you know, you talk to individual israelis. they're watching this nonstop on cnn and other news channels. they're very concerned what is happening in their neighbor's house. but officially, we talked to a spokesman for the prime minister's office who told us fl flatly, we're not saying anything on egypt. they do not believe that would be productive. at the same time the israeli view has been expressed off the record by others who wish to remain anonymous, saying that they believe it's only the military that can maintain order. prevent the country from sliding into chaos. at the same time, they're concerned about militants in the sinai desert region. militants who in the last week have fired and tried to fire missiles into egypt. they're concerned that as the military is so busy with the muslim brotherhood, will they lose some of their focus there on trying to control that situation. they are also glad that this military after deposing mohamed morsi made a move against hamas, an ally of the muslim brotherhood, destroying many of the tunnels if not most of the tunnels that lead into gaza. that undercuts hamas's ability to move in cash and arms as well. so the israelis are looking at a situation tonight that they would like to see settled and settled sooner rather than later. brooke? >> we also, jim, just wanted to point out some historical context. taking viewers back to 1979 egypt makes peace with israeli's first arab leader. look at this archival video. jimmy carter is there. consider which side. flash forward to today. which side would sadat be on in cairo? the israelists or the military? >> that's not a difficult choice at all. he was a military man. he led egyptian forces into battle in the 1973 war. he would be very much on the side of the military and against the islamists. of course, he was assassinated not by the muslim brotherhood directly but by a group known then as the egyptian islamic jihad. that's how he met his end. and, therefore, you know, trying to assess where he would stand today, pretty clear and a lot of others in the region tonight are also standing with the military, saying that they understand the need to restore order and safety for the egyptian people. voicing support from aman and other places in the middle east. brooke? >> jim clancy in jer rus lum. wall street. take a look for yourself. stocks back in the red today. no huge movements up or down. you can see it's down just about 35 points here. unless there's a late afternoon rally the dow will finish in its second straight week of declines. and new jersey. the governor there, chris christie, is fast approaching a deadline he set for himself on a bill that one family says means life or death for this 2-year-old little girl. look at her. this is vivian wilson. she suffers from a form of epilepsy that responds well to marijuana. and only to marijuana. this is according to her family. the governor says today is the day he will decide if, in fact, he chooses to sign into law new jersey senate bill 2841. the bill would let vivian consume medical marijuana by eating it or drinking it. so right now as a 2-year-old, you know, she can't do that. vivian's father says he got desperate. so as a last resort, he confronted chris christie on a campaign stop. >> i'm just wondering if i can have half a minute? i've been trying to get in touch with you and i can't get through to you. i was wondering -- >> sir, these are complicated issues. i know you think it's simple and it's not. i know you think it's simple. and it's not. it's simple to you. it's not simple for me. >> have you heard from our doctors? >> i have read everything that's been brought to me. i'll have a decision by friday. i wish for the best for you, your daughter and your family. i'm going to do what i think is best for the people of the state. all people of the state. >> do you think it's best for the governor to come between the doctors and their patients? >> sir, i'm making -- i'm elected to make these decisions. i'll make the decisions and i'll make it in time for friday. >> our elected representatives have spoken to us and told you that they wanted to. please don't let my daughter die, governor. don't let my daughter die. >> we're going to actually talk to sanjay gupta about this for just a minute in studio. rosa flores covering the story for us from new york. you just got back from a chris christie event. any word as we await the final decision from the governor? >> well, brooke, you know, the outspoken governor was tight lipped about the medical marijuana bill that has been sitting on his desk for about two months now. now, i asked him plane oin out, you going to sign this bill? no word from him yet. no response. that, of course, was not the case on wednesday. you saw the video when we went face to face with the father of a 2-year-old girl who confronted him at another event. i've got to warn you, some of the video that you're about to watch is a little difficult to watch. brian wilson, here's the back story. brian wilson's 2-year-old daughter, vivian, suffers from a rare form of epilepsy. her father tells us that she gets 20 to 70 minor seizures a day. averaging one major seizure every four days. this is where the video gets a little difficult to watch. she wears an eye patch, brooke, because patterns in the environment trigger more seizures for her. the wilsons found out that medical marijuana had helped other children suffering from seizures, so that's why they wanted to explore this option so they lobbied legislators to get a medical marijuana bill passed that would make the medical marijuana that little vivian needs available to her in new jersey. we should add the american academy of pediatrics opposes cannabis. but we are waiting to hear from governor chris christie's office about this decision sometime today. i just got off the phone with one of his pr people. and no word yet. brooke, i should add that the wilsons do say that if the governor vetoes this bill, they would consider moving to another state. they say like colorado. which they say is more compassionate to children. and here's the wrench in all of this. little vivian, if they do move, would not be able to visit, they tell me, their family innier ij because she would have to travel with her medical marijuana. it would be illegal in new jersey. >> tough to look at her seizing on the ground. chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta here with me. i have a lot of questions about this. i know you've been doing a lot of research for your documentary that's reairing. let many ask you this. we need to be crystal clear with the viewers that medicinal marijuana is legal in new jersey, right? it's the conditions of how you intake the marijuana. so that's what you -- i want you to explain to me. >> there's two major issues, i think, that are part of this legislation. one is exactly that. you can't imagine a 2-year-old obviously smoking this or even vaporizing it. they do have lozenges, potentially. they're hard for a 2-year-old to take. she could potentially choke on it. i saw a girl in colorado who got it as an oil. >> charlotte. >> yeah. they create this tincture. they put it in food or squirt it underneath the tongue. that was an easier way for the child to take it. they want to make it so it can be given in that form. the other issue, this idea marijuana is a generic term for lots of different strains of cannabis. what we're talking about here is something that is high in cbd which is the medical part. >> lower in thc. what gets you high. >> which is the psychoactive part. not all marijuana strains are the same. right now they want to increase the number of strains that would be available to kids like vivian. >> obviously we can't crawl into chris christie's brain to understand what he's grappling with. i've read comments he's reluctant, talking about the slippery slope with kids and this. what they're hoping for, i listened to you and the dad last night on "anderson" saying we just want it to be something she can ingest, maybe an oil, a butter. if it's already legal to smoke, what do you think he is wr wrestling with? >> part of this, you're absolutely right. it's the fact this is a 2-year-old kid. it gives everybody pause. it gives people pause in colorado where it's already legalized and where children do get treated. it gives pause in new jersey. i think part of this is that you'd love to have more science on this. i can tell you it's tough to get science on adults, let alone kids. because at the heart of this you're dealing with a federally illegal substance. but there is science. there is some science, more than 40 patients, all children, who have the same thing that vivian has, the same thing charlotte has, have received variance of medical marijuana, variance of these strains that i'm talking about and had improvement. many of them, including charlotte, off of all of her other medications. now just on these tinctures of marijuana. there is some evidence of this. as you just heard from rosa, we're talking about compassionate care here. this is a compassionate care clause. vivian is at real risk here not only of continuing to seize but real risk of death. it's got to be a tough thing for him to grapple with. >> he is grappling perhaps at this very moment. we will have some sort of answer according to him by the end of the day today. >> i'm curious to see what happens. >> we'll talk next hour. dr. gupta, thank you very much. do not forget to watch sanjay's special calm ecalled "weed." he'll take a look at whether marijuana is harmful or helpful. 10:00 p.m. eastern and pacific only on cnn. coming up, as hannah anderson returns to her life after being kidnapped, you will see a real life experiment in which parents are tested to see if they would actually recognize a missing kid. wait until you see what happens. plus, once again, the nsa under fire. this time for reportedly breaking privacy rules concerning your e-mails and your phone calls. stay right here. a fiery debate over your privacy, next. here we honor the proud thaccomplishmentsss. of our students and alumni. people like, maria salazar, an executive director at american red cross. or garlin smith, video account director at yahoo. and for every garlin, thousands more are hired by hundreds of top companies. each expanding the influence of our proud university of phoenix network. that's right, university of phoenix. enroll now. we've got a frame waiting for you.
