Hello, everyone. Its high noon here in the east and 9 00 a. M. Out west. Welcome to weekends with alex witt. The manhunt is over but a big mystery remains which led police from Southern California to the wilderness of idaho. The abductor, James Dimaggio, is dead and Hannah Anderson is alive and well. Joe, what do you know . Anything new that youre learning . Reporter alex, this morning we did get some new information about how they were able to locate dimaggio and Hannah Anderson. Teams were up in helicopters searching the wilderness for any sign of them. Near a campsite near morehead lake, they spotted James Dimaggio and Hannah Anderson. They ended up landing and fbi apths hiked 2 1 2 hours before they were able to get to that campsite before there was a confrontation with dimaggio. All we know is that in the end an fbi agent shot and killed dimaggio. Were told a special fbi team is coming out to idaho to conduct an investigation on that shooting. They will be interviewing witnesses to try and figure out what happened. But Authorities Say the best news of all is that Hannah Anderson was found safe. She was taken by helicopter to a hospital. Were not sure exactly where she was taken but they tell us she appears to be in good condition. Alex . Joe, when you say interviewing witnesses, is that just those that witnessed the event of killing mr. Dimaggio or were there other people there . Do we know anything . Was it a campground . What do we know . Reporter it was a campsite. We dont know if anyone else was there. Its probably safe to assume that dimaggio and Hannah Anderson were alone. The witnesses are probably going to be the other fbi agents or authorities that were there and then well have to presume that theyll be talking to hannah herself to find out what happened in the final moments but also what happened during the course of the last week, since monday. So shes being examined in a hospital. What about her father . For people that dont know, her mother and brother died in that inferno inside that house. Reporter yeah, thats right. Were told that her father is flying in to the area to be reunited with hannah at some point today. We dont know exactly when thats going to happen. We know that the sheriff in san diego says that her father was elated and relieved when he found out that hannah was safe but we do have to also keep in mind, this is a very difficult time for that family. Hannah lost her mother, she lost her brother. Plus, we also just dont know what shes been enduring over the course of the past week. The fbi is offering up a lot of resources, whatever it takes for the family to cope during this very difficult time. Joe, this area was described, as i believe, the falls church river of no return wilderness. Just the name itself suggests pretty enormous area. Its the largest area in the lower 48 states that doesnt have any roads working through it. When you think about how quickly this went down, are people saying they are so lucky this didnt get dragged out . Reporter yeah. It really is amazing. In fact, at the News Conference yesterday in cascade when they announce ow announce officially that this came to an end, dozens came to watch the News Conference. They were so relieved that this came to an end. Much credit is given to the horseback rider who was in the wilderness on monday, thought he spotted dimaggio and hannah. That led them to dimaggios car and a day later that led them to dimaggio himself. Joe, thank you very much. Well, again, hannah is safe and her family is grieving at the same time. Her mother christina, brother ethan, only 8 years old, they were killed in san diego last weekend. Sarah and ralph brit spoke with nbc this morning. She was a strong person and loved her children dearly and very protective of them. Shes like our family. Our familys very strong and dina was an excellent mother and would do anything for her children and apparently she just trusted jim and we all trusted jim. Well, the grandparents put together some personal items for hannah to be in the hospital to help her feel more comfortable and at home. They are planning a big celebration for the 16yearold when she returns home. We hope to learn more from an idaho spokesperson. Devastating flash floods in colorado washing away cars. This video is just incredible. Sweeping a house off its foundation as well in the Manitou Springs. One person was killed and another is missing. This is the worst disaster in decades. More rain is expected there, also, like they need that. Hello, dylan. Hi, alex. There was a huge wildfire not long ago. That parched ground cant absorb the moisture. You get the mudslides and severe flooding. Today they are getting a break from it at least. It does move back in tomorrow, though. We are looking at our best chance of any severe weather, up through parts of nebraska and iowa. Biggest wind gusts and isolated large hail. Its more wind gusts and hail possibility as we go into this afternoon. Northeastern arkansas, still seeing some rain but the heaviest of the rain is going to hold off until about tuesday in that area. So its much needed relief but its certainly not going to last long enough. That stalled front sitting right through the plain states and into parts of the midwest is going to produce another one to three inches of rain within the next 48 hours. So flooding again could be an issue, especially across parts of kansas into missouri and into northern arkansas. Today, though, things will be very quiet in that area. Scattered showers and storms. Well keep an eye on the Northern Plains for some of those severe storms to develop later this afternoon. In the northeast, lower humidity with temperatures in the 70s and 80s. That will continue until tomorrow. Scattered showers and storms across the southeast and, again, possible back in the kansas city area where temperatures should be in the mid80s. Were still above average in texas. What youre bringing us here in new york, thank you very much. Its great. Its back to Business Today for the u. S. State department. All but one of the 19 embassies and consulates closed last weekend have reopened. Still closed is the embassy in yemen and lahore, pakistan, remains closed due to a threat. Is this an essentially all clear . How are you interpreting it . Well, to some extent u. S. Officials feel with confidence that they can allow some of the embassies or all of the embassies that have closed as a result of that to reopen. Thats the case here in cairo. Theres no doubt that security will remain high in these fa till si sill teas. They had actually reduced their staff because of the current unrest here in egypt. So really they are opened for business, as we understand it. Things are back to normal. They are still operating at the Staffing Levels that actually preceded that al quiaeda threat. Some staff had already left. Theres no doubt they are going to remain a vigilant watch on many of these embassies in wake of the al qaeda threat that emerged last week in yemen. Speaking of yemen, that embassy is still closed. Yemenich yemeni officials claiming that a drone killed two people. What are you hearing on that . Reporter well, theres no secret that the u. S. Has stepped up drone strikes in the past several days. By some estimates, as many as ten have taken place since july 27th. Thats a very alarming and accelerated rate. Some yemeni are speaking out about that calling it counterterrorism allegations. They have not identified any of the individuals its allegedly targeting and that makes it much more difficult. As many as 38 suspected militants have been killed in the series of strikes, by some accounts, and its difficult to get information about it. The Yemeni Government do not reveal that. Another american drone strike took place in the southern part of the country. Alex . Thank you, ammon. Meanwhile, the chairman of the house of Homeland Security says a threat exists overseas and also here at home. The threat briefings i get, its real, it exists. Theres a large plot brewing in the middle east right now which is why they have closed these embassies and it could also directly impact the homeland. And how irresponsible would that be for us to do nothing . Meanwhile, the decision to close the 19 u. S. Embassies across the middle east and Northern Africa was not an overreaction. There was strong intelligence information and any time an american is put at risk in the world or our homeland, we have to deal with it. We have to be cautious. It wasnt just one incident. Theres cooperation that is occurring and strong intelligence. Kristen welker is in Martha Vineyards where president obama is vacationing. What are lawmakers saying to you about this latest threat . Reporter alex, good day to you. Lawmakers seem to be on the same page. Closing the 19 embassies was the right move because it pointed to the fact that al qaeda was planning either one large explosion or a series of explosions. Heres a little bit more on that from congressman peter king. Take a listen. The intelligence that i saw here was at least as powerful as anything ive seen since 9 11, probably the closest would be the liquid explosive plot out of london in 2006. But this was very credible. It was corroborated and spoke of a massive attack and to me was the right thing to do. Now, alex, some republicans did use the closure of those 19 embassies to attack president obamas Foreign Policy center. John mccain making a point that the peninsula has gotten much stronger in recent years and also argue that its an indication that president obama hasnt been Strong Enough in terms of combatting that growing presence and threat from al qaeda. Of course, the president has countered those types of arguments by saying that he got bin laden and, of course, he has acknowledged that al qaeda is quite strong in yemen and the Arabian Peninsula. We have seen that concern play out due to the increase of drone attacks in yemen. Of course, there have been a series of attacks in recent days so the white house doesnt dispute the fact that al qaeda is quite strong in that region. Ive been talking to people who have been briefed on the intelligence, alex, and one of their chief concerns is the fact that al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula have been working with the technology to use explosive devices. That is one of the things that they are looking at. But certainly people on both sides of the aisle watching closely monitor this threat. The surgically implanted devices, it would be really hard to detect them. You make a great point, kristen welker, thank you. Absolutely. Members of congress may have created a monster waiting for them at their town halls. [ male announcer ] when your favorite food starts a fight, fight back fast with tums.

Well, today one key republican is saying congress should continue to fight obama care even after 40 previous attempts to repeal the law have failed. There is no more important Regulatory Reform that we can do to repeal every single word of obama care. [ applause ] and that reaction right there shows how we win this fight. Joining me now, Congress Reporter for role call, wanna, im going to begin with you. There they go again. This refrain from the gop on obama care, is there a concern within the white house that it actually could have an effect . I think theres certainly a concern but we did hear president obama at the News Conference before heading on vacation saying that he doesnt believe things will go so far as a government showdown despite saying that they are going to go to that point as defunding the health care law. There is certainly concern but at least publicly the white house seems to think thats not a likely prospect. Meredith, a big number in the house right now stands at 40, as in the numbers of times that the gop has overturned obama care, wholly or in part. How many republicans in the house actually wish this would stop . I would imagine that there is a growing number. I mean, i think when you looked at the president s press conference this week he was the most passionate ive ever seen him in defending this law and the key point that he made, look, originally after this law passed the republican line was well repeal and replace it. And now that second part has sort of fallen off. I think the more votes that you have to repeal this law and the more failed votes that you have to repeal this law, because honestly the president is never going to sign into law any sort of repeal and the nate is not going to pass it. So that would never happen and even come to his desk. I think it makes the republicans look like they actually dont have an agenda of their own and gives the president that kind of talking point to use against them and i cant see how them shutting down the government over defunding obama care will work out in their favor. Well, in terms of talking points, you make a point because it gives talking points for senator ted cruz at these town halls, like the town hall palooza. In exchange with his constituents over obama care, lets listen. It has to pass the senate and signed by the president of the United States. Will you make a stand to get back on board, give us do you think harry reid is going to pass 70 . It doesnt matter. We need to show the American People that we stand for so do you think, as you listen to that person in the crowd saying that we need to stand and show the American People we stand for conservative values, is this sort of a monster of the gop lawmakers creation . They must now continue voting on measures to repeal obama care regardless of whether they want to or not. Juana . I think theres some truth to that. Were in this town hall season and theres an issue that is certainly resonating. So, yeah, i think there is some truth in that that they have to do these votes which have obviously very little effect but certainly generate headlines for them back in their districts. Meredith, same question for you. Weigh in on that. Do you think its a monster that the gop is creating . I wonder what the end game is. If you continue to have the pushes to repeal this bill, you have the town halls, hundreds of people who are passionate about to show up and address the lawmaker. I dont know if the person in this town hall is the average american. I think thats someone who is so engaged or in tune with this issue on a particular side that they feel the need to talk out. I mean, im more curious in the town hall season about what happens with immigration and its a bill that is alive and active. There are outside groups that have interest in weighing in and the house needs to do something. You have every house leader saying that you can piece something together whether its in a piecemeal fashion or comprehensive than what the senate did. Im curious what you think the likelihood is that that will get passed or anything much before 2014. This congress is quickly earning that moniker that they are the donothing congress. I think we will see how it shakes out in september. The debt limit is scheduled to be hit this fall and the Government Spending bill runs out. Thats something that is going to have to happen. I know juana covers defense issues. They usually get it done no matter what but there are tricky issues as talking about reforms, dealing with Sexual Assault in the military. So there are things that they have to do. Above and beyond what they have to do, i dont know. But the closer you get to 2014, the more difficult it is to get anything done. I just dont know what the likelihood is if they take things together, that came together for them in the senate and then piece it apart because i dont see democrats, for example, voting in mass to support a rd boer securityonly bill.
