BALDWIN: Want to get you a quick update as we have been watching the situation unfolding involving a number of hostages in Algeria, this North African nation, including a number of American hostages. So Hillary Clinton, the secretary of state, is speaking at the State Department. In fact, she's meeting today with the foreign minister of Japan, but she did make a statement on the situation in Algeria. We just wanted to share that with you. Take a listen.</s>HILLARY CLINTON, SECRETARY OF STATE: Before we start, I would like to say a few words about the situation in Algeria. The United States extends our condolences to all the families who have lost loved ones in this brutal assault. And we remain deeply concerned about those who remain in danger. I spoke with the Algerian prime minister again this morning to get an update on this very difficult situation. And to underscore, again, that the utmost care must be taken to preserve innocent life. We are staying in close touch with our Algerian partners and working with affected nations around the world to end this crisis.</s>BALDWIN: And, again that was Secretary of State Hillary Clinton still watching. There is a lot of information coming out of Algeria, like a game of telephone, like our correspondent was telling me a moment ago, still a number of Americans still there, still missing, still being held against their will. Now to this, to make his point about invasive snakes, Florida Senator Bill Nelson once brought the skin from a 16-foot python to a senate committee hearing. Now he's out to hunt one for himself.
