0 "orange is the new black." two of the stars talk about being on that hit show. it's all about women in prison. that's next on the cnn "newsroom." egypt erupts into full-blown chaos and the world watches in horror. the question now, what can the u.s. do about it? they just keep on coming. now a great grandmother says she, too, was harassed by san diego's mayor. >> he came up to me without any warning when i was outside going home and hugged me and kissed me. >> with the recall efforts starting in 24 hours, how much longer can bob filner hang onto his job. and it's netflix biggest hit yet and it's got everyone talking. >> they don't carry a size 13. >> can >> we get the scoop behind "orange is the new black." >> i'm brianna keilar. >> and i'm martin savidge. it's 10:00 on the east coast. first this hour, breaking news, and it is out of egypt. gunfire has been ringing out of the heart of cairo. supporters of ousted president mohammed morsi are holed up inside a mosque and security forces are right outside. and we are hearing that someone at that mosque fired at security forces. they returned fire toward the mosque minaret. this is all unfolding as egypt braces for a fourth straight day of clashes and protests and unrest. the egyptian government says that 173 people have died. that was on friday. and more than 1300 were wounded. so let us bring in frederik pleitgen in cairo. fred, with he know it's been very chaotic and fast moving, but what is the latest on the situation at the mosque? >> reporter: well, the latest on the situation, martin, is there's still apparently about 150 pro-morsi crowd people inside that mosque. they're afraid to come out because the mosque is being besieged by a mob of government supporters and the security forces and you had that shooting incident you were talking about where it was five people who went on top of the minaret and one of them opened fire on the security forces. they then returned fire. it really was a chaotic situation that was going on there. we saw people taking cover. we saw the security forces fire at the minaret. it seems as though that sort of chi y quieted down somewhat, however the siege continues. seeing those pictures on tv, seeing them and witnessing them, the people here in egypt see this is further fueling the flames of what's been going on as this country moves closer and closer to descending into chaos. the past couple days have been very violent in this country. 173 were killed on friday. however, in total since wednesday more than 700 people have been killed, and that's according to official accounts. some people put the death toll much higher, martin. >> any middle ground here? is there any way for either the muslim brotherhood or the egyptian government to strike some kind of resolution? >> reporter: absolutely not at this point in time. i mean, one of the things we have to keep in mind with the violence going on, it's just made the sides even more entrenched. there's a pro-morsi side who said they won the parliamentary and presidential elections and they feel mohamed morsi should still be in power. they feel like they have legitimacy here in this country. on the other hand, you have the military and their supporters who said mohamed morsi was in power. he didn't deliver. there were massive protests in the country and that's why they took the action that they did, and so they are the ones who should be in power, and these sides are just going at it and neither side is backing down. both sides are saying they're going to keep holding protests. the military is saying it's going to stand firm, that if any official buildings are attacked, they are going to return live fire against the people who are attacking them. the banner on the egyptian state tv right now reads "egypt fighting terrorism." as long as the government labels the muslim brotherhood as terrorists, there clearly will not be any middle ground for any negotiations. so neither side is making any sort of effort at this point in time, martin, to try to get everything under control to find some middle ground in spite of the fact that, of course, especially the u.s. is trying to get these two sides to get back to the table, martin. >> frederik pleitgen in cairo for us this morning. thank you. president obama has condemned the violence in egypt, but u.s. aid to egypt's military continues to trickle in. our white house correspondent dan lothian is in martha's vineyard where the first family is on vacation. dan, why did president obama decide to take this step this week? he canceled joint military exercises between the u.s. and the egyptian military. >> reporter: that's right. he did, brianna. and the main reason is because of the escalating violence on the ground in egypt which you have just been talking about. the president condemning that violence, condemning the actions of the interim military government there and the security forces, but also there's been this sort of level of frustration within the obama administration at the slow pace of the transition from this military interim government to a democratically elected civilian government. the obama administration, at least officials within the administration, had been discussing this as an option. in fact, back in june at the time that the administration decided to delay the delivery of those f-16s, it was brought up as an option to pull out of these biannual exercises known as bright star, but it was only on wednesday after the president huddled with his national security team on the phone and also meeting with his national security adviser that the president decided to pull out of those joint exercises. so it was a situation on the ground but also pressure in washington. key republicans like senator john mccain and lindsey graham had recently been to egypt with the blessing of the white house, came back, had some critical comments about the administration pushing for tougher action. both senators releasing a statement saying in part that we cannot be complicity in the mass slaughter of civilians and then tough words for the obama white house saying, quote, the failure of the obama administration to use our influence to shape events in this critical part of the world has only diminished our credibility, limited our influence, and constrained our policy options. this was all driven by the actions on the ground but also the pressure coming from washington. >> dan lothian on martha's vineyard. thank you, dan. now to idaho. fresh hot shot teams are rolling into the resort area around sun valley. a wildfire has scorched 100 square miles. it's still growing. authorities ordered 1,600 families to evacuate. "usa today" reports one home has burned to the ground and a second has been damaged. from fire to heavy rain, the possibility of flash flooding. >> let's bring in meteorologist jennifer delgado. >> good morning, guys. another wet weekend across parts of the southeast. looking at the radar, the rain is coming down and heavy at times across parts of florida as well as into georgia just to the south of atlanta. let's show you a live shot of atlanta and hopefully we have the windshield pipers on our camera because it is wet out there. it's going to be a soggy weekend ahead for some locations. we're talking the possibility of maybe even six inches of rain. back over to our graphics here. as we talk a bit more about the rain that's going to be happening today, it's going to be coming down in some of these locations. we're talking about a flooding threat. that's why we have a lot of flood watches in place but look what's in the area in red. this is where we're talking about the possibility of 6 or more inches of rainfall. that's why we're so concerned about the panhandle of florida as well as even to areas, including the very tip of louisiana. here are some of the watches out there. we have the saturated ground anywhere in green. we'll see a lot of these watches in effect until tomorrow. and we're still following the tropics. we have an area of low pressure right in the gulf coast -- i should say the gulf of mexico. you can see all the convection and thunderstorms to the northeast of that. well, it's not very well organized, but it still has a 40% chance of development. we'll continue to follow that and, of course, as we follow over the west, we are following the fires burning across parts of idaho, and it looks like we have red flag warnings in place today. that means wind gusts up to 30 miles per hour. weather is certainly not cooperating across that region, but in the northeast it's real nice out there, guys. temperatures running 10 to 15 degrees below average and lots of sunshine in place. back over to you two. >> jennifer, thank you very much. the search for a missing teen growing desperate today in virginia. 17-year-old alexis murphy has been missing for two weeks. investigators have no idea where she is or if she's even alive. alexis was spotted here on a surveillance camera at this central virginia gas station. randy taylor is the man who has been arrested and is accused of abducting her. taylor admits to being with alexis inside his camper the day she went missing but he said she left with another man, a drug dealer. i spoke with alexis' mother and she has this message. >> from a mother to a father, i would like to just sit there with him one-on-one and ask him where my daughter is at because he do know where she at. he was the last one with her. and like i said, his story has too many holes in it, and it just don't make sense. it don't make sense at all. now we want him to see the hurt in my eyes. >> investigators are asking anyone who may know about the disappearance to call this number, 434. 263-7050. >> taking a turn now, aliens, ufos, and secret military testing. it sounds like a scene out of a sci-fi movie, but for conspiracy theorists, area 51 has long been a topic of fascination. now new declassified documents reveal what many of us already knew, it does indeed exist, and the cia has released a report, including a map of the region confirming the site's location. if you were hoping for alien spacecraft though, don't get too excited. the cia says it was a testing site for the government's cold war surveillance programs. what a letdown. >> you think they'd let it all out at once? over time. next, new jersey's governor, he makes a decision on medical marijuana for sick kids. and the message for the mayor who refuses to resign. wonder if he saw it. i'm talking with the san diego journalist about mayor bob filner's big troubles. the great outdoors... ...and a great deal. thanks to dad.
