last time he eluded government until a year and a half ago. they are desperately searching for the drug lord. >> this is like spending a year in prison and then walking away from prison only to re-engage in his terrorist activities. >> reporter: they say it probably took months of meticulous planning. guzman was last seen on a security camera saturday night entering a shower area. there, out of camera range, he slipped into a 20 byx20-inch hole into an elaborate vented tunnel made of wood and pvc pipe with a small motorized rail car. the tunnel went for about a mile to a half-built house in a field. >> the tunnel was probably about $3 million, but that was nickel and dime change in "el chapo's" mind. . >> reporter: this is considered a major embarrassment to their government. >> it's hard to imagine this happening without government officials involved. the big question is how high up does it go? >> reporter: and that will be a major question for investigators trying to figure out how he managed the escape. meanwhile, the man who is wanted in several cities is now free. >> we'll talk to an author of a book a the drug lord called "the last narco." european leaders in greece finally reached a new bailout deal that would keep greece's collapse inside the eurozone. there was a final all-night bargaining session among the sides. under the deal greece would get almost $100 billion in bailout cash. that would allow the banks to reopen after being shut down for more than two weeks. but first greece's parliament must agree to the tough terms set and do it fast. european leaders gave greece's parliament only until midnight wednesday to agree to pension cuts and other belt-tightening measures. still, the news of the deal is fueling a rally on wall street and around the world's economy. right now the dow is up several points, as you can see on your street. keir simmons joins us from athens. keir obviously the greek minister was having trouble selling this back at home. they now have a deal. what's the reaction in greece? >> reporter: so far the banks you mentioned remain closed but there were still lines outside the atms. that's been extended for a few more days. you can't just plan an attack and expect the money to flow. it doesn't work like that. we're hearing just how close greece came to not getting this deal. political sources in greece confirmed for me that germany's angela merkel and the prime minister of greece came pretty close to walking out of negotiations and had to be kept in the room together in order to reach this deal because you can imagine, 17 hours' worth of negotiation by european top leaders through the night was exhausting. in the end, as you mentioned, what they come out with is a lot of money for greece $100 billion, but at the same time very very tough measures that greece has to enact very, very quickly just a week after the prime minister came to the greek republic and asked for a vote on similar measures and the greek people voted no by 60%. going forward, how much of this bill can stack up? that was the question the europeans were asking themselves in negotiating with greece which is why it was so difficult to come to this conclusion. what has been avoided, though, is greece being pushed out of the european currency. >> keir simmons, thank you for that. we'll see how that plays out in the next 48 hours in athens and the parliament. thank you very much. also we're awaiting word on whether or not a final deal has been reached with iran over its nuclear program. secretary of state john kerry and other ministers of five other powers are meeting to go over what is reportedly a final draft agreement. it comes on the 17th straight day of negotiations in vienna austria, and with the latest extension of the temporary deal with iran set to expire tonight. nbc's chiefal ali ruzi joins me from austria. what are you hearing about this final draft agreement? what might it look like? >> reporter: i think that's where they seem to be having some problems because that is very important, because once they draw up that agreement, once everything is put on paper and they sign it as a legally binding document regardless of what happens in congress or what hard liners want to cover the deal here the negotiations are being defined by that document so they want to be very careful what goes down in that. one of the issues is eyeif iran's activities will be taken out of that. another sticky point in that draft agreement will be u.n. sanctions ballistic missile program and a wider arms embargo. iran wants that lifted they say it has nothing to do with the nuclear program, but the west feels that may fuel the conflict a little further in the region and they're reluctant to take that out. we heard they had resolved their position and iran had agreed to push that issue a lgtittle further down the line so they can get the deal done today, but at last check they were still working on it. we heard from people in vienna later on this afternoon and later this evening. they're going to be legal and technical, the meetings between all the staff there, to see how they can resolve this. the situation is ebbing and flowing all the time. earlier today we heard president romani would address the nation at 1:00 eastern time now we're hearing he's not going to do that. they hope to hammer out a deal and this will be the most difficult stage. we have to hope they can come up with an agreement tonight, maybe tomorrow. things still very unclear in vienna. >> we'll be following those developments very closely as well. back here at home he's in. wisconsin governor scott walker becomes the 15th republican presidential candidate, but does the governor have the credentials to become president?

>> reporter: good morning. there is a pretty good reason for that. there was a legislative session here yesterday and walker signed that budget into law, so that allows him more freedom to campaign in ernest. he spent most of the winter giving a series of really strong speeches. he broke out at the freedom conference in iowa. he got a lot of attention and that's when he rose to the top of the polls. then he stumbled talking about religion going abroad talking about evolution. since then he's talked to donors trying to reassure party leadership that he in fact is ready for this. at this point they're already set to go here so it seems like number 15 is going -- it should work out for walker just fine. >> and casey, we can tell a little bit from the video he post odd lineed on line that he's going to be touting his winning streak. what else from his background do we expect him to tout? >> reporter: i think that's number one, saying he's the only candidate that has fought and won. he says there are other candidates who had fights that they haven't actually had to take it to the mat like he has, but at the same time walker advisers want him to be known for more than just this recall fight in wisconsin. that's what people identify him with. they want him to talk about growth and reform and walker is trying to be seen as the one who has the top on national security. yesterday he was at the mcdonald's where he once flipped burgers. he talks all the time how he spent a dollar on a sweater at kohl's because his wife taught him how to use kohl's cash. >> voters describe him as real and authentic a approachable, but words they don't use about him is smart and sophisticated. his opponents may bring up he went to marquette university but didn't actually graduate. i'm wondering how the campaign plans to tackle these issues. >> there are a lot of voters who identify that getting all the way through college is difficult to do. walker will say, when he's asked about it that he went straight to work. there was a job he wanted to take, he had an opportunity to do it and he took it. he's been running for office since he was a teenager. he was elected in the state assembly at the age of 22. for him it's less about whether he graduated for college or not but whether he wanted to go to work in the field he's chosen. that will resonate with a lot of voters. that said they know they have to work on it and that's something he's been doing behind the scenes with donors and party figures for the last couple months david. >> kate in washington. thank you very much. interesting topics of this morning's gut check. opponents have pounced on walker for dropping out of college a year before graduating. does it matter that he did not finish college? tell us how you weigh in and we'll tell you how you do weigh in throughout the course of this show. back to our top story, the search for mexican kingpin joaquin "el chapo" guzman who broke out of a maximum security prison this weekend using an underground tunnel. with me on the phone is an author of the book on mexico his book entitled "the last narco." thank you for joining us. "el chapo" is a huge nightmare for the mexican government. they said he would never escape. are you surprised it happened? >> i am surprised in some ways. part of my cynical side -- no i am surprised. more importantly, i think i'm actually really depressed. and i'm not in mexico right now, but i've noticed social media a similar despondency. there are a lot of advances made in the drug war since 2006 2007 especially with the drug cartel. you can disagree with policy you can disagree with the war itself, but the pda and the mexican authorities made a lot of advances to breaking up what is basically a vast criminal network. they're not stopping drug trafficking, that's a whole different issue. but they made a lot of progress. it's just very dismaying to see a guy like "el chapo" just walks out again. it's got to hurt. >> so when you look at the elaborate tunnel that he used to escape considering he may have had a hand in the thousands of murders that have taken place in mexico, who helped him and why? was it threats or bribes that may have helped him get out, or both? >> we still don't know. something -- i hate to speculate on corruption even though all indications will be and investigations will show that there must have been corruption at some level. or turning a blind eye. something i've been reading about is maximum security prisons and how these prisons work. i've been inside these prisons, not altiplano itself but you'll find security guards aren't paid very well they don't have mechanisms to report. who do they report suspicious activity to? and that can lend itself to turning the blind eye syndrome and protect yourself. and i think that may well be a factor. >> let me play a sound bite from general barry mccaffery. he's a former worker on the policy. take a listen. >> i think this is a giant threat to the united states. remember mexican cartels are in a thousand u.s. cities and towns. this is a clear threat to our national security. >> so "el chapo's" cartel is obviously the biggest supplier of cocaine in the united states. what's at stake here for the u.s.? >> i think, quite frankly, i believe that consumption is the issue rather than the national security threat. yes, there are some cases of corrupt order violence there are some gang threats in the united states that are linked to the cartels, but i think we have to be realistic. if the consumption is there, if the demand is there, people or someone will supply that drug. there are always -- not because they're that much better they're just always a few steps ahead of law enforcement, because law enforcement, by and large, operate following guidelines. they have rules that they have to follow. they have laws. they have judges that they have to report to. and then police chiefs. the cartels don't have this. you know, they work outside of the law. as a national security threat to the u.s. i don't see "el chapo" as a threat in that respect. he will ton trying to hold onto the sinaloa cartel, and we may see more action in mexico unfortunately. >> thank you very much malcolm, for that insight. developing now in the past hour, hillary clinton delivers the first major economic policy speech of her campaign. >> it's way past time to end the outrage of so many women still earning less than men on the job and women of color making even less. >> she called for higher minimum wages and a higher tax for the wealthy. that's part of this morning's first read. plus two states may be the first to allow women to get birth control over the counter without a prescription. how will it work and will other states follow?

look on the bright side... with aveeno® skin brightening scrub. it has moisture rich soy and gentle exfoliators for brighter more radiant skin. aveeno® naturally beautiful results®. developing today more severe weather is expected including tornadoes, in chicago and into the southeast. the weather already affecting flights nationwide. 230 already canceled 90 of those in and out of chicago o'hare alone. in minnesota, thousands of people are still without power this morning after yesterday's severe weather. take a look at this video from last night. at least four tornadoes, one of them an ef-1, the other is ef-0 touched down in the state, knocking down trees and power lines. nearly 20,000 people lost power at the height of this storm. and look at this picture of the brainerd international raceway in minnesota. it left a twisted pile of metal this morning from those storms. two states are expanding birs control to women. oregon and california will be the first two states to allow women to get birth control directly from their pharmacist without a doctor's prescription. it's at the forefront to give women access to over-the-counter birth control. the measures are being held up by women's health advocates who point out that men have an easier time getting birth control by simply purchasing condoms over the counter. but they say hormonal birth control poses a risk to many women and that providing it without proper screening is a bad idea. joining me now is terry o'neill, president of the national organization. terri terri, thank you for joining us. first of all, your reaction to this development in california and oregon. >> it's excellent news for women in oregon and california. women need more access to basic birth control. i think overall this is exceptionally good news. >> terri, explain to us a little bit if you can what this means for folks watching. >> many pharmacies are going to be able to provide over-the-counter contraception for women who need it. as one young woman said it's much easier to go to a pharmacy than make an appointment with her doctor, go to the doctor, go back to the pharmacy and get pretty skripgsthe prescription filled at the pharmacy. we know hormonal birth control is completely safe. it prevents pregnancies better than other forms of birth control. unintended pregnancy is deadly. it's highly associated with infant mortality and internal mortality. we definitely want to make this better. obviously, we also want women to have their annual well women's visit which must be covered by their health insurance with no co-pay under the affordable care act. we need to provide this is part of a seamless discovery of health care for women. >> the gynecologists have recommended hormonal birth control be available over the counter, saying that the risks for side effects are very low, but not all gynecologists seem to agree. a clinic in st. louis says my concern is that you're basically taking women who have no counseling, no family history, no risk assessment and they're just getting hormonal birth control with no guidance. to put hormonal contraception on the same aisle as zantac is absurd. in your opinion, are there cases of taking this kind of birth control without a physician's oversight could put a woman's health at risk. >> that's not going to happen not in oregon or california. in both states the way they have this law, there does have to be some screening. the pharmacist is required to talk to the woman. they're working out specific requirements for the pharmacist. this is not putting it on the shelf right alongside the aspirin to prevent conception and it's really surprising to me that a responsible physician would suggest that's going on. >> you brought up the issue of insurance, and there are unresolved questions about whether insurance companies will pay for birth control bought over the counter. what's your understanding at this point on how that is being
