Im scared too. Sharks, theyre scary. No one wants to get eaten. Oh, yeah, just when you thought it was safe to turn on your television, sharknado 2 hits the small screen in the next week and i will talk with the writer about its cult following. Hello, everyone. Its high noon in the east. 9 00 a. M. Out west. Welcome to weekends with alex witt. New details on a dramatic move by the u. S. Embassy earlier today to evacuate all personnel from the American Embassy in tripoli, libya. Secretary of state kerry spoke about it just a short time ago. So we are suspending our current diplomatic activities at the embassy, not closing, but suspending. We have moved people on ground to trunisia where they will disperse to other places. Im joined by Nbcs Kristen Welker whos covering this from the white house. This is something we were all following with great trepidation, considering the history there. What do we know about the threats that are facing people . U. S. Officials have confirmed that all 158 americans have evacua evacuated. This is because of an increase in militant violence aimed at the militant government. The officials also say 158 americans, including 80 heavily armed u. S. Marines, left the Embassy Compound early today in a caravan of suvs and buses and headed to kntunisia. It was protected by unmanned drones which shadowed them on their drive. No word on where that airport is, by the way. Our Pentagon Team reports this is not a military evacuation, a very important point, but, rather, an orderly withdraw. They say there wasnt a direct or specific threat of an attack against the u. S. Embassy, but, rather, general concern, given the rising violence which has prevented delivery of food and other key supplies to the embassy. Secretary of state john kerry, who was Holding Diplomatic talks in paris, urged order, soon, to come to tripoli, alex. Nbcs Kristen Welker at the white house. Joining me is nbcs andrea mitchell. Youre familiar with the situation which weve been watching closely here. As kristen was reporting. No appearance of a direct threat on the u. S. Embassy there. Why the caution . The caution is clearly because of the rebel militias who are very well armed and have been fighting all around the embassy in tripoli. They are a direct threat. The airport was in danger. There was no escape route through the airport because there was so much fighting there. While intelligence is telling me there is no antiamerican or antiu. S. Sect, its clearly it could evolve into that, any time you have a situation that is volatile. Whats behind this is the tragedy in 2012 at the consulate in benghazi. Theyre clearly exercising as much caution as they can. They took an overnight route with f16 and marine ospreys overhead, from africa command, just to show you a real amount of force. This is exactly the opposite of bengha benghazi. The lead there was the u. S. Ambassador, Deborah Jones who succeeded the late chris steven, who died so tragically in the attack on the consulate, so she and everyone else were taken out to tunis, to tunisia, now theyll be dispersed to other postings until it is safe enough to return, alex. Im just curious about the whole the picture of all of this. Because certainly this cannot have gone unnoticed. You have these heavily armed suvs. 158 americans. That includes 80 heavily armed u. S. Marines. The f16 fighter jets overhead. What kind of message do you think the United States is sending there as well . I think it is, as you point out, it is the message of force that this embassy, this post, as other posts in the region, are not going to become inflamed. Were not going to have another benghazi. But its also, some would say, a show of force in the absence of real on the ground diplomacy, as much as the embassy and others can try to do. Now all of these years after gadhafi and the u. S. And nato led operations, we see that libya is a failed state, that 1,700 people, alex, died in syria, while the American Media and the world media were so obviously preoccupied with whats happening in ukraine, the malaysia airliner, the horrible war between, you know, gaza and israel. The region is in pretty bad shape. Andrea mitchell, very true words being spoken there. Thank you so much, as always. Speaking of the gaza situation, lets go there, less than an hour left in the ceasefire between hamas and israel. The calm has held steady so far. Secretary of state kerry is in paris. Hes looking to negotiate a sevenday long ceasefire. The Ministry Says the death toll there has topped 1,000 and theyre mostly civilians. Israel says its lost at least 37 soldiers. Joining me from tel aviv is Martin Fletcher. I understand theres a breaking update right now. Im getting this from my producer in my ear. So what is it . It appears that the Israeli Government is going to extend the ceasefire by another four hours. Their meeting in a Cabinet Meeting which begins in 1 1 2 hours from now. Then theyre going to discuss extending it for longer than that. Maybe another 12 hours, maybe longer, well have to see. It appears the cease fire when it runs out in one hour, will, in fact, be extended another four hours. The israeli officials are saying that the while that is while that is their decision, they have to see whether hamas starts firing or not. Clearly that would be an extend of the ceasefire would be a tremendous relief, in particular, for the people of gaza, who suffers much, much more obviously than the israelis who have been sheltered from those rockets. All those rockets fired into israel has done remarkably little damage. But of course israels firepower directly against gaza has pushed the death toll up to almost 1,000. Today, when the people of gaza were able to get out at 8 00 this morning when the ceasefire began, the streets suddenly began to crawl with people. Cars were driving in the center of town. People going stocking up on food, trying to get clean water to drink, getting money from the atms. And of course checking up on their loved ones to see who was alive, dead, homeless. In are plparticular, about 5,00 palestinians have been wounded. So family members would have gone there too, to see how their relatives are getting on. You can imagine what the scene was like in gaza, all day long, hive of activity. If the ceasefire is extended of course welcome news down there. Activity tragically to include those people, some 80 bodies were pulled from rubble, people going and looking for loved ones who have been in harms way. Is there attribution for the extension of this ceasefire . Can we say its a result of what secretary kerrys doing right now or is there Something Else going on . The attribution that i had before i came on camera was that an Israeli Cabinet had agreed to do that. I dont know if theres been an official Israeli Government decision. Weve heard from our sources they had agreed to do that. Thats all i can say right now. Yes, there is pressure from secretary of state kerry in paris and all of the International Foreign ministers hes meeting with. There is pressure to extend the ceasefire. And that is what all their talks were about, of course, is extending this ceasefire, and hoping that step by step, extending it bit by bit, israel and hamas will get used to not shooting at each other and will come closer, and will finally agree on the sevenday ceasefire that kerry is proposing with everybody else, and hoping from there a real agreement to stop the fighting can be reached, so there is progress. All right, Martin Fletcher in tel aviv, thank you very much for this developing news, appreciate it. Other stories making news.

A new twist today in the case of a california man who shot and killed an unarmed woman who had broken into his house and was trying to run away. 80yearold tom greer of long beach says he has no regrets. When he spoke to cnbc, here is her reaction. She said, dont shoot me, im pregnant, and i shot her anyway. Now the coroner says the 26yearold was not pregnant. Her male accomplice ran from the scene and was arrested later. Let me bring in Faith Jenkins to talk about this. Thanks for joining me. So police say that the couple beat and threw the elderly man to the ground but he managed to get his gun and chase the woman down, shooting her in the back. The d. A. Is deciding whether he should face criminal charges. Where is the d. A. Going to do with this . This case falls into a gray area because under California Law a homeowner has a right to use deadly force in someone breaks in to his or her home. But here these homeowners shot the intruders as they were fleeing and running away, so the d. A. Has to look at this and decide, was that imminent threat still there. And if you look at what happened, this woman was shot in the back, that imminent threat probably subsided a few seconds before, but when you have someone who just had their home broken into, theyve been injured, theyve been assaulted, and theyre making split second decisions, is the d. A. Really going to break that down second by second and say that imminent danger ended right before he pulled his last shot so are we going to charge him or not. Thats going to be the question. I dont know that they will in this case. It may be a really close call. We see he has a sling in terms of his injury. He did get a broken collarbone, im told. Talk about the what hes saying and the tenor in which hes saying that. Might that work against him at all . Because he says she was running away, yeah, and i shot her. Well, its clear this is someone who has no remorse in terms of what he did. Is that going to play into the d. A. s decision . Well, this case isnt going to be based i was a prosecutor and we looked at cases like this in a number of situations. It is not about sympathy. He doesnt have to feel bad about what he did. He doesnt have to feel remor remorseful or sympathy. The question is, did he do the right thing under the law . Its going to be a really close call for the d. A. Its going to be the choice of someone who doesnt have a lot of contacts with the law. Whereas these burglars, they had criminal records. These people were experienced at breaking into peoples homes. Homeowners, again, they have a right to protect themselves inside of their home. The question is, did that right carry on to when those intruders were running away and fleeing the scene . Lets go across country. Theres another controversial case here. Its the death of rather, latest in the death of a Staten Island man after an apparent choke hold by a new york police officer. Attorney general holder said the Justice Department officials had met with erics mother and widow and federal officials are monitoring this case. What are the feds looking for here . Theyre looking for Excessive Force. And if Excessive Force led to the death of eric garner and they should be looking at this case. This is one of the most horrible videos weve seen, and it really shows how far we havent come since rodney king in los angeles many years ago. Because this is a situation, when you look at the Police Officers involved and the number of Police Officers involved in this arrest, their first option should have been to deescalate the situation. When you look at eric garner and talking to the officers, referring to them as officers. Yes, hes agitated, yes, hes upset, but this is not someone thats attacking the police. And any officer worth their salt knows that they could have deescalated that situation. But then you have officer number 99 jumping on his back, doing an illegal choke hold. All the other officers standing around, not doing anything. Yeah, at one point, faith there are eight officers around this man. And in addition to him saying, trying to be defensive, he says, i cant breathe. He says that multiple times. How does that fit into legal considerations . Oh, it absolutely fits in, because someone is telling you multiple times they cant breathe, youre obviously in control of the situation. If someone is resisting arrest, officers can use force, but that force has to be equal to the force thats being used against them. Eric garner at that point is lying on the ground. His head that officer number 99 has his hands, smashing eric garbers face into the sidewalk. All of these other officers are around. Why do you still have him in a choke hold . Why is that Still Necessary . Thats an illegal the nypd banned the choke hold years ago. Hes doing it. He has no problems doing it. The other officers arent stopping him. That tells me that number 99 is that this is something that hes probably employed before. He feels very comfortable doing it in front of his supervisor and fellow officers. We have to see if that remains to be seen. That will come out, if this gets to a court. When it comes to the emts, is it their job to automatically start cpr . Do they have to work always with police . Whose side are they on . Could they at all be culpable here . Their job and duty is to render aid. At that point, when they got to the scene, i believe as its been reported eric garner was already on the ground and unconscious. So their job is to render aid. Doesnt matter if someones under police custody. You render aid. Your First Priority is to help the individual that needs aid and assistance. So the questions are, did they do their job . Do they do the best that they could do in those circumstances and help someone who needed help . Where do you see this one going . I see this investigation ongoing. I see that there could possibly be criminal charges in this case. And unfortunately, this is a situation where if there werent video, i dont know that we with even be talking about this case today. I would not be surprised if there were criminal charges. This should not have happened. It did not have to happen. And the investigation will hopefully continue and will be resolved. According to the commissioner, it certainly will be continuing. Faith jenkins, thank you so much.
