Now, this comes as a curfew here in cairo has gone into effect. Its been about an hour now since the beginning of the third night of a militaryimposed curfew. Very few people out on the streets. The government saying tonight it was really going to enforce that curfew and arrest anyone who remains out. Obviously, that is coming on the heels of a very violent day, one that saw a lot of confrontation between supporters of the ousted president Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood and anticoup coalition on one side and police and Security Forces on the other. Keep in mind, we are still getting these death toll numbers. As you mentioned, in one area where all of these marches were supposed to converge, the death toll in that area alone stands at 80. Tens more killed nationwide. It is very much a challenging security situation as it unfolds in the next couple of hours, craig. Ayman, at this point, any sign of or word from the general . Reporter none whatsoever. In fact, he has kind of taken a little bit of a backseat, at least in the eyes of the public, since this interim civilian government has been put in place. Theres no doubt he still carries a tremendous amount of weight. A lot of the security decisions in the country are certainly being done or at least being carried out with close consultation with the military. Right now most of the Public Comments are coming from the presidency and the prime minister, and they have vowed to crack down on any type of violence, including the use of live ammunition, if necessary, to try and thwart the type of attacks we are seeing on police stations, on government buildings, or Public Properties like those that are now on fire. What can we expect this weekend there . Reporter we can certainly expect more protests. The Muslim Brotherhood says it is remaining defiant. They have called off their protests for this evening. They want everyone to go home because of the curfew. They say they will call for more protests in the coming days. They will not stop street demonstrations until all of the events of the last six or seven weeks are reversed and this country returns to a constitutional legitimacy, as they claim. Obviously, thats going to be a serious challenge given the fact that the security situation across the country continues to break down with these daily clashes, these daily confrontations, and more importantly a real threat to a lot of the government institutions, a lot of the stability of daily life for ordinary egyptians in the millions. Ayman mohyeldin in cairo for us. Thank you. I want to bring in Time MagazineSenior Correspondent michael crowley. Obvious question, how real is the possibility of a fullfledged civil war in egypt . Well, i think its real. It depends on how you define civil war, i suppose. For time. Com this morning i wrote a piece in which analysts were envisioning something. Maybe you would call it more like an insurgency where you had, you know, bombings, assassinations, a lot of ongoing violence around the country. You know, there are different estimates to how much support the Islamist Movement has. Im not sure that if you look at some of the lowend numbers, its enough to say you have a fullfledged civil war. I think its going to get worse before it gets better. Theres likely to be more violence. This kind of crackdown is likely to produce a backlash. So, yes, short answer to the question, the possibility for widespread ongoing Mass Violence and chaos seems to be rising. Republican senators john mccain and lindsey graham, michael, just issued a statement a short time ago. Im going to read it in part here. Just a snippet. The interim civilian government and Security Forces backed up unfortunately by the military are taking egypt down a dark path, one that the United States cannot and should not travel with them. They urge president obama to cut off aid. They go on to, in that statement, urge president obama to cut off aid. Has the United States, have we lost our influence entirely in that part of the world, in egypt specifically . Almost all of it. You know, i think that the Obama Administration must surely judge that theres some influence left or some sliver or some hope of having influence because they clearly want to keep this aid going. Im a little surprised, i guess, at this point that they havent at least talked more explicitly about suspending it or cutting some of it, but you know, that aid really doesnt buy what it used to. That number was set around 1980, and its never been increased for inflation. So its value when you measure for inflation has really dropped. I forget the percentage. I think it might be about 50 of what it was worth originally. And more importantly, its completely dwarfed by the, i believe, 10 billion to 12 billion being pumped into egypt right now by saudi arabia and the united emirates. Those are the people who have real influence. As i wrote today on time. Com, the Obama Administrations diplomacy might be better directed at those countries, at saudi arabia and the uae and trying them to get messages to the general. Just quickly, michael, and i know this is a big question, but in the simplest of terms, how did we get here in egypt . What did we misjudge, specifically . Well, thats a complicated question, and different people would tackle it different ways. One answer that comes to mind right away is a criticism that really goes against the entire American Foreign policy establishment of both parties going back, you know, at least a generation, which is that we were willing to abide by the dictatorship, essentially military dictatorship of Hosni Mubarak and never really pushing very hard. Although, george bush tried it a little before backing away, on political and Economic Reforms that would allow egypt to grow as a country, have a more liberal political system. In the name of stability, we really sort of turned a blind eye to a lot of repression and economic backwardization. Now, you know, one school of thought is its all coming home to roost. Its kind of too late for us to do anything about it. We just have to watch the chaos unfold and sort itself out, unfortunately. Michael crowley, Time Magazine. Always appreciate your insight. Thank you. Back here, congressional lawmakers are vowing more oversight amid a new report that the nsa routinely broke privacy rules in its controversial surveillance program. According to the Washington Post, the nsa exceeded its Legal Authority thousands of times since 2008 with unauthorized surveillance of americans or foreign targets on u. S. Soil. Senate judiciary chairman pat leahy says he plans to hold another hearing on the nsa surveillance program. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the report, quote, extremely disturbing in a statement saying in part, Congress Must conduct rigorous oversight to ensure that all incidents, all incidents of noncompliance are reported to the oversight committees and the fisa court in a timely and comprehensive manner and that appropriate steps are taken to ensure violations are not repeated. The report stems from an nsa audit obtained by the post from leaker edward snowden. Kelly odonnell joins me now. What kind of privacy violations are we talking about . What were learning so far, these are not instances of eavesdropping on conversations or reading emails. Its not that kind of thing. Its that big sweeping Data Collection weve been hearing a lot about in the last few months. Phone numbers or those kind of data were swept up while the nsa was looking for foreign intelligence targets. Sometimes this was sort of sloppy, unintentional mistakes where they put in the wrong area code and swept up a bunch of numbers that way or they had some sort of break in their own procedure. Some of it, apparently, unintentional. But in some instances, the audits found that there were cases where they went too far and sometimes the fisa court that does oversee this pushed back and said they needed to adjust what they were doing. It is still unsettling to many members of congress because its yet another new piece of information about how the nsa works. These are its own internal audits that were done. Edward snowden provided these documents at first to the Washington Post. The nsa is responding, although not going point by point through these new allegations but acknowledging that these kinds of mistakes do happen. When i contacted the nsa, they told me that the 2700 instances in one year was actually above average, higher than they normally see. So again, some of this is technical. Some of it is sort of kind of the every day messups that happen in a workplace. In this instance, its involving issues that are really sacred to people, privacy and what the government can know about us. Kelly odonnell, thank you so much. Do appreciate that. I want to bring in an attorney with the aclu for National Security programs. Thank you for joining us on a friday afternoon, sir. You guys have filed a lawsuit challenging the nsas phone surveillance program. What, if anything, do these new revelations mean for your case . Well, i think these revelations underscore the need for greater oversight over the nsa and greater scrutiny by the courts. The revelations really highlight a few things. First of all, its really shocking to see how many violations there were of surveillance laws that are extraordinarily per mmissiveper. These are laws that are hard to violate because they permit the nsa to do so much surveillance of Americans Communications when they go into and out of the country that its hard to understand how they violate them on average, if you take an average, about seven times every single day. But the other thing that the revelations really highlight, i think, is that theres a lack of real oversight both by congress but also by the foreign Intelligence Surveillance court, which is a secret court thats supposed to oversee the nsa. In a companion article to the one that youve been talking about, the chief judge of the court recognized that the fisa court is not doesnt have the a capacity to scrutinize the governments claims. Thats troubling. Lets talk about that. This article that you mentioned, it was published this week in the Washington Post as well. It focused on the fisa courts ability to oversee the intelligence community. Again, for our viewers at home, fisa oversees requests for surveillance warrants by federal Law Enforcement. In that article, quote, the chief judge of the Foreign Intelligence Service court said that the court lacks the tools to independently verify how often the government surveillance breaks the courts rules that aim to protect americans privacy. Without taking drastic steps, it also cannot check the voracity of the governments assertions that the violations its Staff Members report are unintentional mistakes. Thats pretty striking. That is striking because the central defense that the government has been making for years about these surveillance programs in fact, when this program was before the Supreme Court last year, the government argued, dont let the aclus clients challenge this program because we have a secret court thats doing the job of the courts as a whole. Now weve learned that court itself doesnt feel that it has the capacity to really meaningfully oversee the National Security agencys surveillance. Thats extraordinarily troubling. It signals we need to restore our system of checks and balances to keep our surveillance activities consistent with the constitution and consistent with the laws as congress wrote them. I want to play what president obama said a week ago at that News Conference at the white house and talk about it on the other side. Heres a snippet from the news room. I am comfortable that the program currently is not being abused. Im comfortable that if the American People examined exactly what was taking place, how it was being used, what the safeguards were, that they would say, you know what, these folks are following the law and doing what they say theyre doing. Thats the president august 9th. Now, while this report discusses specifically errors made by the nsa, with regards to what we just heard the president say there, whats the likelihood that he simply just didnt know about the errors . You know, i really cant say, but its very difficult to square his statement with what we now know. You know, its worth pointing out that apart from the violations, the real underlying problem with the nsa surveillance activities are not the abuses. Although these abuses are shocking and shock even those who have been studying this area for quite some time, the real problem are the underlying laws. Those laws allow the government to intercept the communications of americans. That is, to listen to our phone calls, read our emails in far more circumstances that the government has acknowledged in public. The American Public needs to understand the consequences for our privacy that the nsa surveillance activities have, but we cant really understand them with government officials using misleading descriptions of the programs, descriptions that later turn out not to be true at all.

Serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. Before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether youve been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. You should not start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. Tell your doctor if youre prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have symptoms such as persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness.

Instead, theyll be handing out free doritos. The Police Department wants to hand out informational material on Washington States new marijuana law, which legalizes pot for users over the age of 21. They figured, what better way than attaching it to free bags of chips given to the hungry masses . Police are calling it operation orange fingers. The festival runs through the weekend. The cops will be on hand with the chips tomorrow. Bob young is with the seattle times. Bob, obviously the police are having a little fun with this. This is one tweet they put out. Please ignore maliciously false reports that were giving out bugles at seattle hemp fest. We would never do that. But apparently theres also a message that theyre trying to get across. What kind of misconceptions or misinformation about the states new law are they trying to clear up . Well, they are, of course, having fun with it. Theyre pointing people to their faq, which answers a whole bunch of questions and does so in a cheeky way. It went viral for that reason. But for instance, they want to remind people that its still not legal to consume in public. They want to remind people that it remains a crime to sell marijuana. And they want to remind people that its a crime for minors still to consume or possess marijuana. I think those are some of the major points theyre trying to get across. And, you know, this is a good pr move for them. You know, this department is not exactly a bunch of hippies wearing daisies in their hair. Theyre under an agreement with the federal department of justice to reform their practices because of a pattern of excessive force. So, you know, this is just one more positive pr move, i think, on their part as well as a practical by the way, did you say marriage what now . I think its mary j. What now, no . Yeah, its just a matter of pronouncing it. Any danger this kind of thing trivializes marijuana use and its risk even though it is legal right now there in Washington State . I dont think so, because again, the police are emphasizing that its theyre taking very serious the matter, they say, of minors possessing marijuana. So theyre not trivializing that. And you also have to remember that things are a little different out here in the most liberal city in the left corner of the country. The context here is that in 2003 the voters of seattle passed a measure that made enforcing pot laws against adults just for possession the citys lowest Law Enforcement priority. So weve had decriminalization in effect for years here. You know, our mayor, our City Attorney are speaking at hemp fest. They have in the past. Elected officials are very welcoming of this new industry. All right. Bob, thank you so much. Do appreciate that.

Com students in moore, oklahoma, return to school today for the First Time Since deadly tornadoes ravaged their Community Nearly three months ago. Two elementary schools, plaza towers and briarwood, were leveled. 25 people were killed, including seven students who were hunkered down with their teacher at plaza towers. Seven crosses, each bearing the name of one of those children killed in the storm, now serve as a makeshift memorial at the site where the school once stood. Teachers say getting back to school will help the survivors heal. They need to come in here and know theres going to be books to read, car pepets to sit on, e chairs, their own desks. Nbcs jay gray is live in moore, oklahoma. First of all, how are students, how are teachers doing today . Reporter hey, craig. Its been a rough day. You make a great point. Its not only the kids here. Its the teachers. Its the staff, the faculty at these schools that are also are having a tough and emotional time here. They are back in class, though. Thats the good news. Getting some structure, some routine back. A lot of people have healed. Thats very important as they work through this difficult recovery. There were a lot of long hugs, as you might imagine, before parents let their kids go today at the new plaza towers elementary school. Its a makeshift classroom right now. Theyll continue to work on restoring and rebuilding both this school and briarwood elementary. But thats going to take some time. Right now theyre not focused on that effort. Theyre more focused on the recovery that continues. Jay, the schools where the kids are today, do they have storm shelters . They have areas where they can gather. They do have safe places. I wouldnt call them shelters, but theyre reenforced areas where the kids can gather. So thats the good news. Plaza towers location is in the back of a junior high school. Its a building that wasnt being used. So that school does have an area where the students and faculty gather if a storm is moving in. So they do have safe places. That was something that they had to have before they agreed on a spot to house these students as they come back. Jay gray from moore, oklahoma. Jay, thanks.

In todays political postscript, we continue to follow developments in egypt where there are reports of more than 80 People Killed during protests today. That as supporters of ousted president Mohamed Morsi answered calls by the Muslim Brotherhood for a day of rage. Todays bloodshed follows wednesdays crackdown on morsi supporters that left more than 600 dead. President obama condemned that violence yesterday. The United States strongly condemns the steps that have been taken by egypts interim government and Security Forces. We deplore violence against civilians. The president canceled next months joint military exercises with egypt but did not cancel 1. 3 billion in annual aid to egypt. He also did not call the egyptian militarys ouster of democratically elected president Mohamed Morsi a coup. Joining me live now, nbc news senior Political Editor mark murray. Mark, the president increasingly under fire on that last point especially. In his column today, Washington Posts Eugene Robinson writing, there may be little the United States can do to end the salve laj bloodshed, but at least our nation can be loyal to our ideals by bearing witness top the truth. In this, president obama has failed. A day after egypts militarybacked interim government slaughtered hundreds of protesters, obama could still not bring himself to call what is happening a coup. Mark, does the president have good political options here . No, he doesnt. Thats one of the frustrating things. Eugene robinson in his column made that point, but one of the things according to u. S. Law, if you declare what had gone on in egypt a coup, all of the sudden than 1. 3 billion, 1. 5 billion in aid goes away. Now, theres a good question on whether the United States has leverage with that amount of money, whether if that aid goes away that somehow egypt can get that money from other sources. Though are all parts of the debate right now. Your original question is that right now the United States has very few good options. Thats why this whole situation is so frustrating to many. When Congress Comes back from recess s how real is the possibility that they are going to once again attempt to cut off aid to egypt . Well, its very possible they could. All the statements that im starting to see that have come out today from senators john mccain, senator lindsey graham, senator ted cruz, are all calling for this cutting of aid to egypt. The question is whether that could actually pass and also pass over president obamas veto pin, if he decided to veto such a situation. Its also important to see what the situation is playing out in egypt when congress does come back on september 9th. Of course, the situation there looks really bad right now. Maybe it improves. Overall, this is a mess and a tragedy. Lets pivot here and talk about the vote this morning, the rnc vote. Delegates at a meeting of the Republican NationalCommittee Voting just a few hours ago to boycott any 2016 president ial debates sponsored by nbc and cnn if the networks go ahead with plans for a mini series and documentary on Hillary Clinton, who is seen, of course, as a likely democratic candidate. Cnn responded today saying in part, the project is in the very early stages of development. Therefore, speculation about the final program is just that. We encouraged a e ed all intere parties to wait until the premiere before judgments are made about it. Unfortunately, the rnc was not able to do that. Nbc previously released a statement saying, nbc news is completely independent of nbc entertainment and has no involvement in this project. Mark, since the rnc has never approved or funded primary debates, whats the practical effect of todays vote . Thats a great question, craig. In 2008 and 2012, all the primary debates on the republican side and also on the democratic side actually came with the rnc not sanctioning the events. For example, in 2011, nbc partnered with politico to put on the debate. The rnc didnt have a role. You could make the argument that this is more of a symbolic vote. However, what we have tried to see is that the rnc is trying to take a more active role on its debates. Rnc chairman has previously said they had way too many debates in 2012. They want to be able to whittle those down. To be able to do that, you need to have fewer debates. I would make the point in 2008, there were some 20 or more democratic debates. That did not seem to hurt the party in that president ial election cycle. All right, mark murray from d. C. Have a good weekend. Thanks. You, too. The pentagon announced a new plan to combat Sexual Assaults in the military, but some lawmakers say it does not go far enough. Among other things, it calls for expanding legal advocacy programs in each branch to give Sexual Assault victims legal representation. It also calls for ensuring pretrial investigative hearings that are actually conducted by a military lawyer. Enforcing policies banning inappropriate relationships between recruiters and trainers and their recruits and trainees. Gives commanders the option to reassign or transfer a unit member accused of Sexual Assault. It also calls for regular reports from an inspector general. In a statement, new york senator Kristen Gillebrand said in part, quote, these are positive steps forward, but it is not the leap forward required to solve the problem. It is time for congress to seize the opportunity, listen to the victims and create an independent objective and nonbiased military Justice System worthy of our brave men and womens service. Whats your take on whether these steps go far enough . Thats correct. Unfortunately the steps are not substantive change. Theyre really just small tweaks around the march gin. Theyre not the fundamental reform we need to see in order to address the crisis and in order to fix a broken military Justice System. You really have to start with the foundation. Senator gillebrand is speaking about removing the ability of commanders to make that unilateral decision on whether a case goes to trial. I think if you look at it in one perspective, from the civilian perspective, and say if theres a person in a job and that person is sexually assaulted by a coworker, and even if that coworker perhaps to be their immediate supervisor, its the general manager of that business, of that organization that gets to make a decision on whether the criminal case goes forward. Then it makes a lot of sense why victims dont want to report. They dont want their boss to make a decision about an investigation. They dont want their boss to be the one to look at the witness statements and see the evidence, which sometimes is very graphic and personal. So that makes a lot of sense. There are a lot of folks who have been following the story, reading the story, watching us cover this story, who really may not understand what the opposition is to a number of these suggestions that your group have made, that some of the senators have made. What has been the opposition . Folks who are opposed to some of these ideas, what do they say . They often say it will undermine good order and discipline. Thats a catch phrase the military likes to use. But they havent been able to articulate exactly how or why good order and discipline would be undermined by allowing independent military prosecutors to examine the evidence and make the call. If you really look at the numbers, we have 26,000 cases of unwanted sexual contact last year alone. That undermines good order and discipline. 26,000. Again, thats the reported number, reported being the operative word. While the criticism has been that these rules dont go far enough, do you think that with what was suggested today, will they at least encourage more women, perhaps, to come forward . Well, we think that there has to be trust in the system again. Our military leadership has acknowledged that our Service Members dont trust the system. They dont trust that anything will be done. In fact, 50 of victims female victims who didnt report said they didnt do so because they thought nothing would happen with their case. They didnt want their workplace, their boss to become involved. You really have to take measures that fundamentally restructure the system so that Service Members feel confident in it and trust it. Thank you. Thank you. Still ahead, no girls on the gridiron.

Mckayla says thats not fair. She says that shes practiced and she should be given the same opportunity as boys. Mckayla jenkins joins me live now from columbus. Mb mckayla, good to see you. First of all, what position do you play . I play receiver on offense and safety on defense. Receiver on offense, safety on defense. Why do you want to play football for the school . Mostly because it helps me gain confidence and be more social. It lets me interact with people, and it helps me get up when i get down instead of just taking it and laying there. What are your friends saying to you . Have you gotten feedback from some of your friends about what youre trying to do . Some of my friends say its pretty cool that i get to do this so i can play football, but they also think its unfair that i cant play just because im a girl. And that comes from the boys, too, not just some of the girls. What do you say to that . What School Officials and what some of your friends apparently are say to you that, you know, you really shouldnt be out there because youre a girl. I dont think thats right. They should we should be able to play any sport. It shouldnt matter what gender we are. If we want to go out and play a sport, we should be able to do that without people telling us that we cant just because were this gender and we have to play that sport, even if we dont want to. School officials have said among other things they are concerned that if youre out there with a bunch of boys, that you might get hurt. Whats your response to that . Well, i talked to one of the players from the columbus commons. Shes not really that big. Shes a receiver, too. Shes im almost her size, and she plays professionally. Honestly, i dont think safety issues are going to be that bad with me. I can take a pretty hard hit. All right. Mckayla jenkins, were going to leave it there. You keep us posted. Let us know how this plays out. Yes, i will. All right. Have a good weekend. Still ahead, our news nation gut check.
