Are equipped with dashboard cameras. All that and much more on cbs this morning saturday, july 6th, 2013. Captioning funded by cbs and good morning. Welcome to the weekend. Lets get right to our top story this morning. Two countries rolling out the welcome mat for nsa leaker Edward Snowden. Venezuela and nicaragua. Snowden has been holed up in the moscow airpt to avoid espionage charges in the United States. Wyatt andrews has the latest. Good morning. After asking more than two dozen countries to receive him, Edward Snowden has two office for political asylum with both offers coming friday in public speeches by president s in president Daniel Ortega told the crowd if the circumstances permit, we will take in mr. Snowden with pleasure and give him asylum. The offers give snowden a way out of transit lounge of the moscow airport where he was stranded since he fled hong kong two weeks ago. At that point the state department pulled his passport. Snowden was charged with two counts of divulging secrets for his role in leaking two major surveillance programs run by the National Security agency. Snowden does not seem to have taken immediate advantage of these offers. So far hes not been seen on any known flight bound for central or south america. Margaret, anthony . Wyatt andrews in washington. Thank you. At least 30 people are dead in egypt after tens of thousands of supporters and opponents clashed over the ousting of president morsi. Lets get the latest from Clarissa Ward in cairo. Good morning clarissa. Reporter good morning, anthony and margaret. The streets of cairo finally a little bit calmer today. The military has really pulled back its presence on the streets and the revelers in Tahrir Square appear to be going home. Theres still a sense of tension after clashes last night claim at least 30 lives. In alexandria and suez there were fights. Here in cairo there were similar scenes as morsi supporters clashed with those celebrating his downfall. The two groups threw molotov cocktails at each other for hours before the military intervened. It began friday after prayer where they marched to the military barracks where they believed morsi was being held. The protesters were stopped at this army barricade. Soldiers fired tear gas at the crowd. The demonstrators pushed forward. More shots rang out and one man dropped to the ground dead. The trooped opened fire. One man showed us his injury. What is this blood . What is this from . From the army from the army he said. The army shot us. He urged his followers to remain calm but made it clear there would be no political reconciliation until morsi was released. Our will god willing, so to reinstate president morsi, he said, and then we can reach an understanding on everything. This morning morsi supporters remained camped out on the streets, that goal unchanged. Egypts new president is expected to announce a new Prime Minister. That Prime Minister will then start the process of forming an into trim government made up of technocrats. Just the first process in egypts new political era. Clarissa washington has warned here there could be consequences if the military doesnt maintain security and stop those arrests of the Muslim Brotherhood members. Are they doing that . Are they preventing violence . Sorry anthony. There were some problems. I think you asked the armys role on containing violence. By cracking down on the Muslim Brotherhood theyve only exacerbated the resentment on the streets which is why the army is so keen on kick starting the employ political process so they can reduce their footprint and go back to increasing force in the country. A small controversy was brewing on the whereabouts of the secretary of state, john kerry. White house photo shows the president and his National Security team gathered in the situation room. Kerry didnt appear to be present but his office did say he took part. He was aboard his boat in nantucket that day. A state Department Spokeswoman first called that report completely inaccurate but then the photos emerged followed by a new statement from the department saying while he was briefly on his boat on wednesday, secretary kerry worked around the clock all day including participating the president s meeting with his National Security council. He phoned in. He was not on the boat during the phone call though. But, you know, the point, i guess, anthony here is whether that reflects the level of concern that some thing there should be. To be fair kerry was on the road for two weeks in the middle east and just got back. I know because i was with him. You can phone in for a meeting. Its telecommuting. Bob schieffers guests will include republican senator john mccain of arizona and representative Michael Mccaul of texas and democratic congressman Javier Becerra of california. Check your local listings. Theyre talking this morning about restarting a conversation. Delegates are meeting inside the Demilitarized Zone separating the two koreas. The Industrial Park which closed three months ago when tensions rose between both nations. Another day of dramatic testimony in the florida murder trial of Neighborhood Watch volunteer George Zimmerman. Jurors heard from the mothers of both zimmerman and Trayvon Martin. Mark strassmann has the story. Reporter cy Sybrina Fulton testified that the voice crying for help on the tape was her son Trayvon Martin. Reporter do you hear cries for help . Yes. What do you hear . Gunshots. You hear gunshots. Yes. Maam do you hear screaming and yelling. Yes. Who do you recognize that toeorgeorr b g eorge c was yelling. I heard my son scream. I certainly hope as a mom you certainly hope that your son Trayvon Martin would not have done anything that would have led to his own death, correct . What i hoped for is that this would have never have happen and he would still be here. Thats my hope. Reporter the defense opened its case by calling gladys zimmerman, the defendants mother. She was also asked about the voice on the 911 call. Do you know whose voice was screaming the background . Yes, sir. And whose voice was that . My son george. Are you certain of that . Because hes my son. I think they would look at both and say its certainly what that mom hopes happened. Reporter zimmermans defense resumes on monday. He faces a possible life sentence. For cbs this morning saturday, mark strassmann, atlanta. Lets take a closer look at the latest developments in this murder try with cbs news legal analyst rickykki klieman. Whats significant . Whats significant is because of trayvons mother and brother because they make their son come alive in the courtroom. Its terribly emotional, really passionate and compassionate. On the other hand, mark eeomara being the good defense lawyer that he is does not let the jurors go away for the weekend by neutralizing the testimony by having George Zimmermans mother and his uncle. In fact, it is said during the time of the uncles testimony its the first time weve seen emotion from George Zimmerman in court. I think mark oi mara is right. You have lots of compassion and energy and people have so much sympathy for both of these mothers that in the end theys the amount of time he was live and the other whether the amount of marijuana in his system affected his mental state. What do you make of this . The first thing is he was not prepared by the prosecution or he was expected to come in and testify the right way meaning that he should know his stuff. The worst disaster of all of his testimony was he comes up there, which i have never seen in my years of trying cases, he comes up to the witness stand with his typewritten note that has his questions and answers that he anticipates will be asked. Ive never seen it. It was extraordinary. It looks like hes there to prepare testimony, to give it the way he thinks it should be given. He was all over the place. I was a bad time for the prosecution. What d us that do if the case if you cant trust the medical examiners opinion . You can trust the medical examiners opinion that number one, Trayvon Martin died by a gunshot and that he died. This one to three minutes, one to ten minutes, whatever the outcome was, first of all, its irrelevant. This is just to know that he died. The fact this that this medical examiner is all over the map, the bad news is it was the prosecutions last witness. Ultimately might it make a difference . It might not because ultimately in the end they tend to cancel each other out. What tees broader or significance here . Wonderful question because all of us wonder from all of the years ive covered cases at courttv we wonder why some cases catch on and others dont when theres so many cases around the United States. What were dealing with here is the question of race and thats what made this case so significant because youre an africanamerican child and you have a person thats white, albeit hispanic that was not charged for a considerable period of time because of floridas stand your ground law, meaning if youre attacking, you fooel fear youre in great bodily harm. You can stand your ground and not retreat. Thats what trended through social media all about the protest of this case. All right rikki, thank you for the perspective. Appreciate it. One of the deadliest fires in u. S. History is about 80 this morning. The fire killed 109 firefighters near the town of yarnell last week and destroyed 13 square miles including 100 homes and billings. Investigators say the shift in the direction of fire cut the firefighters off from a safety zone creating a death trap. A memorial is planned for them next week. Investigators are still trying to determine why a fourth of July Fireworks display went wrong. It injured 39 people. Oh oh my god. Reporter the morales family was front row at the simi valley show when fireworks started blowing toward them. We got flown back. We were all flown back. I kid you not. I was lying on my back. Reporter an annual tradition they camped out tuesday to get a closer spot and invited other families. They had 40 people total, many little children. She had burn marx everywhere. His brother daniel. Left to right took out his eye. Reporter this 12yearold spent the night the hospital. The blanket he had been sitting on still singed. The Fire Department ruled this an industrial accident. Weve unloaded the moretars theyll be broken down and loaded back to the vendor. Reporter they have a clean record since 1984. Ceo dennis brady spoke to us by phone and expressed his condolences by phone and said theyre examining what went down. From watching the video it looks like one shell designated the reaction. We should have been safe all along, but well go. Were not going to break tradition just because of this. Reporter and state fire code requires that in a case like this this, spectators are kept 350 feet away from the launch site. Investigators say at this point it appears that that code was followed. The state fire marshal is expected to take over the investigation and arrive here on tuesday. For cbs this morning saturday, serene branson in simi valley california. A massive 11day search in the South Pacific for a schooner with seven people onboard, six of them americans, has been called off. The 70foot vessel left new zealand for australia in may. It was last heard from in june indicating its sails were shredded during the storm. The sea and heiress skew found no trace of the schooner or its passengerer. In south africa former south after friday cab president Nelson Mandela remains hospitalized while the family feud continues. Lets get the latest from debora patta. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Nelson mandela has been in hospital for nearly a month now. Thats the longest. The fwooft says hes critical but stable. What this actually means has become a bit of national news. Earlier this week there were signs of improvement his family said. His wife graca machel said her husband was sometimes uncomfortable but seldom in pain. He was visited in hospital. He said afterward that his old friend struggled to talk but tried to move his muth but couldnt because there was a tube down his throat. He took critical to mean that hes not getting any worse because in his words hes a, quote, tough old man. The family tried to give an affidavit over a burial dispute and they say their father was in a vegetative state. This has been vigorously denied by the South African government. They cite doctors saying this is untrue. This is what cbs understands. We have seen a signed affidavit by mandelas daughter madikizela. Hes been bad to worse and back to bad again. Anthony and margaret. Debora patta in pretoria. Thank you. We return to jobs and the jobs report is mixed. It shows employers add add respectable 195,000 jobs but with more people looking for work. Unemployment remained at 7. 6 . Lauren is with us. Good morning. Good morning, guys. Once again, this is good news, not great news. This is starting to become routine. Same with the jobs reports and our mornings together. Its respectable and it far exceeded expectations for 165,000. Some economists i spoke to were presently surprised and the stolk market was up. The bond market, not so much. Close to a twoyear high which matters to folks at home because of a 30year mortgage we spoke about. Theyre closely related. Overall in terms of the headlines, yes, unemployment was changed but people were expected that. I mean i guess thats not a lot of comfort to people at home. Bury it was important. It was respectability. What about the pace . Are we going to get back to that precrisis level any time soon . Eventually. Geez were just kind of chugging along. Thats the unfortunate part of it. While job gains are respectable. Economists say theyre basically keeping up with population growth. So thats why the Unemployment Rate has remained unchanged or come down a notch here and there but is not significant in bringing down unemployment in a dramatic way. They used to talk about an escape velocity. What we need is 300,000, 400,000 a month to bring this number down. Exactly. For six months to a year people keep saying well were almost there and it seems to keep getting away. It does. I think people marrenally enmarginally attached, theyre looking for work and want work. That number of people is unchanged compared to a year ago and the number of people that are parttime workers for economic reasons which is fancy language for they wish they had more work, theyre not parttime because they want to be thats increased. There are 8 237b9 million. 2 million people. Its an unfortunate picture of our labor market. Are you seeing that reflected in Consumer Spending . I think thats whats interesting. Auto sales are back to precrisis levels. Not peaks but levels. All of them are saying theyre seeing inadvices. Theres a question if those gainsgain gains if the recovery is realpand sustainable. So i think were seeing strength in Consumer Spending and also we saw gains in restaurants and retail jobs which speaks to strength in the consumer although theyre not the best jobs if those are what our economy is adding.
