>> i just got off the phone with the head of security. he told me that his phone is off the hook as he is trying to negotiate the release of the hostages with elderly -- with mediators between the authorities and the kidnappers. he is positive that the situation will be resolved shortly. and we are following the story very closely in order to see if there's any progress that we can bring to you. >> have they actually been in touch with the bedouin kidnappers do you know? >> yes, they've been in touch for the past two days since the incident happened on friday. and i got in contact with the kidnapper yesterday. he confirmed that the hostages are safe and unharmed. and he is actually considering them guests of his but vowed to kidnap other tourists if authorities do not release his uncle who he claims is free from drug charges. >> what can you tell me about the area where they are? have you confirmed that they're still in the area where they were abducted? >> yes, the authorities say they are still in sinai but where they were exactly abducted is unclear. however, in the past year and a half, there has been at least half a dozen kid naps in sinai, and none of the hostages were harmed. actually the last time bedouin kidnapped u.s. tourist, the authorities gave in to the bedouin demands and released the prisoners, and the hoage left unharmed. >> so for the family, how long should they expect something like this to go on? >> well, this is the first time that it takes about two days, but we are -- everybody and authority i've spoken to is confident that this will be resolved shortly. the bedouin usually reachome sort of deal with the authorities, and i think it might be resolved sooner than later. >> muhammad fadel fahmy, thank you very much for the update. be sure to stay with us on "early start weekend." in a few moments i'll speak with the family of reverend louis about their efforts to free him and what their mother who is also in egypt told them about what happened. staying in egypt now. a country secretary of state hillary clinton says is in a time of "htoric firsts" as it looks to form a government around its first democratically elected president, mohamed morsi. she is there this hour. aides to the secretary said clinton wanted to make the trip soon after morsi's swearing-in to show that the obama administration is eager to help rebuild a fragile economy. in remarks, clinton stressed the importance of the two nations working together on egypt's future. >> we believe america's shared strategic interests with egypt far outnumber our differences. and we know that egypt's future is up to the egyptian people, but we want to be a good partner. we want to support the democracy that has been achieved by the courage and sacrifice of the egyptian people. and to see a future of great potential be realized for the nearly 90 million people of egypt who are expecting that to occur. >> to the u.s. now. the family of the late penn state football coach, joe paterno, will still benefit from his contract. university officials made the announcement just a day after an internal review blasted paterno and other school officials for their handling of the child sex abuse scandal. paterno's amended contract was finalized in august last year. it totaled $5.5 million in payouts and benefits, including paying his wife $1,000 a month for the rest of her life. paterno's contract may they?

>> this is true. what she told us is basically what we hear from the reports as the tour bus was in the area of the sinai peninsula and egypt. they were stopped by a couple of cars. and in the cars there were some gentlemen and some people that got on to the bus. and they detained both my father, reverend michel louis, and another member of another church that was also in -- part of the missionary group that was on their way to israel. >> did your mother understand what was happening at the time? was it obvious that this was a kidnapping? >> she says that, you know, everything happened at once. it was all of the sudden. and i just -- she even right now seems like a dream to her. a nightmare. >> what can you tell us about this other person that was abducted along with your father? >> all we can say is she was a member of another church that is very close -- that is in close fellowship with our church. their pastor is a very close friend of my father, pastor reverend michel louis. and that member does go to that church. >> i'm curious because there have been other kidnappings in this area. was your father aware of the risks? was he aware at all ofhat had been happening there? >> to tell you the truth, if we were aware -- because i read some of the comments that are being left in regards to the story. if we were aware, i want to believe we would use correct judgment not to enter that air. so we want to say that he was not aware of any issue of that amount in that area. >> right. the u.s. embassy has said that it is in close touch with local egyptian officials. have you heard anything at all from the u.s. government about th incident? and what would you like them to do at this point? >> sure. we've been in very good contact with mr. bill wrights who works in the office of senator scott brown. and he's -- he's been very efficient in giving us information from time to time, and we know just about as much as we know in the news in terms of they're doing a lot of negotiating, they're trying the best that they can. and we're waiting. >> how concerned are you about your father's health? >> we are concerned, but we're christians. and we believe in god,e're in good faith. we're resolved in our faith. we're -- we know that god is going to see him out of this situation. but at the same time, too, we're human. and we just want to see our father get home. we want to see the sister member get home also. and we also want to see the tour guide, too, because i -- i'm sure a lot of people are not speaking about him, too. we want to see everybody come home safely. he is diabetic. that's the only concern we might have. we have not spoken to him, i especially have not spoken to him since i dropped him off at the airport on tuesday. so we -- we would just like the release. and hopefully he's being treated very well where he is. >> as i mentioned, there have been several kidnappings of americans in egypt in recent months. but this is the first time that we've heard about a demand for a prisoner swap. that this isn't about money. does that worry you at all? does that concern you more? >> when i'm speaking to some of the officials that are speaking to me, we understand that it's a little bit different from the normal cases. and that's what puts a twist on everything. usually there's a window of 24 hours to 48 hours that this certain negotiations are resolved. and because they're not asking for money, this make it a little bit more complicated. and a lot of answers to our questions cannot be answered. but again, we are faithful people. we have a lot of people praying for our father. and the people with him. and we're praying also. and we're staying resolved in our faith. >> i'm sure this is a very difficult time for your family and for your congregation. jean louis, we hope your father gets home safely and gets home soon. thank you very much and to the family of reverend michel louis. >> we truly appreciate everyone that is praying for us and everybody that is wishing a safe return to not only my father but this member and the tour guide that is also with them. so we thank you guys very much. >> thank you. and thank you for coming on during this time. >> thank you. less than two weeks until the olympic games. and if you haven't heard of brittany viola, stick around. overcoming eating disorders and injuries. the 25-year-old's full story ahead. ♪ one is for a clean, wedomestic energy future that puts us in control. our abundant natural gas is already saving us money, producing cleaner electricity, putting us to work here in america and supporting wind and solar. though all energy development comes with some risk, we're committed to safely and responsibly producing natural gas. it's not a dream. america's natural gas... putting us in control of our energy future, now. ♪ good morning again. it is july which means one thing for film, comic book, and gaming fans around the world -- comic-con. more than 130,000 self-proclaimed geeks and nerds invaded san diego this week, creating their own alternative universe of heroes, villains, gods, and monsters. this isn't all fun and games. last year alone, attendees spent $75 million inside the convention center. here's a fun fact -- just 300 people showed up for the first comic-con in 1970. boy, have things changed. are you ready? the london olympic games kick off in less than 12 days and ten hours. one athlete looking to make a splash in london, brittany viola. the 25-year-old has fought injuries and an eating disorder on her journey to the big games. here's her story. brittany viola's olympic dream began 16 years ago. >> what really got my eyes focused on the olympics was in 1996 when the magnificent seven won the gold medal as a team in gymnastics. and i was a gymnast at the time. and i wanted to be those girls. >> though viola excelled, gymnastics had stopped being fun. when it was time to decide whether to move away from florida to ohio for more advanced olympic training, brittany said no. >> thought about, you know, renting a place up there. splitting our family up, going back and forth, which a lot of gymnast families end up doing, to find better training. and she broke down and started crying after the american cup. and she said, i don't want to live away from my family. and we had to sit down and talked about it as a family. we said, this is crazy. you know, we -- we're not going to break our family up and put her through something for an olympic dream. >> as that dream died, another was born. >> i was playing on diving boards at my high school, lake island preparatory school. the swim coach saw me doing front double flips, back double flips, all these old gymnastics moves that i used to do always to my feet. and he asked me if i wanted to join the dive team there. and i never knew it was a sport at the time. it was something that i was up for the challenge. >> most valuable diver. diver of the year. another most valuable diver. >> the violas are an athletic family. brittany's mom ran track in college. her dad is former world series mvp and cy young award winner frank viola. >> i think she's got my make-up internally. she's a perfectionist which i was. if she would do a school paper and make a mistake on the paper, instead of erasing and go on, she would start over again. the paper had to be pure. that's her mentality with diving. >> for brittany, diving was a good match. unlike gymnastics, she could stay in florida to train. still, making to london was no easy task as she had to overcome injury and an eating disorder. >> a lot of an eating disorder is believing in something that is not true. that is a complete lie. and for anyone who thinks that i look at myself in the mirror and say i need to change something in my body, i'm not beautiful, they'd think i'm crazy. and so just knowing something as simple as i'm beautifully and wonderfully made is a truth that i need to keep reminding myself and believe that over anything else that end terse my mind. >> what's -- that enters my mind. >> what's top of mind now is winning gold. >> i think i'd be like this, oh, my god. that's my little girl. look what she's achieved. >> pretty amazing story, right?

we're hearing today more people have been killed. >> good morning, randi. sadly, it really doesn't look like there's any end to the violence in sight any time soon. let's talk it the last few days. thursday there were report of the massacre and reports of more than 200 people killed. some reports say close to 300 people across the country killed. friday, reports that at least 80 people killed. yesterday, at least 73 people killed. today, reports from opposition activists that at least 14 people today have been killed. the bloodletting there seems unrelenting at this stage with report of shellg in various towns across the country. and this is happening all amidst the backdrop of all this diplatic activity. even reports today that kofi annan will travel to moscow tomorrow to meet with the russian foreign minister to try to find an end to this crisis. as of yet, it doesn't look like there's any end in sight. >> what about the u.n. inspectors at the site of the massacre in tremsa?

i mean, what are they saying about what happened there in tremsem and this massacre thursday? >> they're saying that the reports have been exaggerated. there was a press conference from the spokesperson for the syrian foreign ministry a short while ago in which he said that the letter that was sent from kofi annan to the syrian regime was full of exaggeration, that it was not based on facts. actually he said that what happened in tremseh was a military operation and not a massacre. he further said, our duty is to protect the u.n. observer. but whenever they head to a hot spot, we tell them they're on their own. our duty is to provide them security, but they went to the area without military security. the foreign ministry spokesperson all said that reports that there were helicopters firing on that town, they were untrue. he said that it was only one civilian that was killed in that town on thursday, and there were 37 militants killed there. >> thank you for your reporting from abbey du dhabi. in new york, people will have come up with a new idea -- small, micro apartments. if you like living in a dorm room, now you can do that same thing after college. we'll take you on a tour of a really, really tiny place to live. last season was the gulf's best tourism season in years. in florida we had more suntans... in alabama we had more beautiful blooms... in mississippi we had more good times... in louisiana we had more fun on the water. last season we broke all kinds of records on the gulf. this year we are out to do even better... and now is a great time to start. our beatches are even more relaxing... the fishing's great. so pick your favorite spot on the gulf... and come on down. brought to you by bp and all of us who call the gulf home. every communications provider is different but centurylink is committed to being a different kind of communications company. ♪ we link people and fortune 500 companies nationwide and around the world. and we will continue to free you to do more and focus on what matters. ♪ so imagine living in an r.v. eight floors up. that is the new plan to save space in new york. not really an r.v., but an r.v.-sized apartment, just 300 square feet. how is the fit?
