tonight, on "nightline," military coup, chaos and crisis in cairo. and a day of protests, violent clashes and a dramatic standoff between ousted president morsi and the army. we're in cairo, with christian amanpour. tonight, it is me, myself and i. with the culture of cell phone promotion. and a happy ending for five killer whales from a pod they got stranded off the coast in australia. we'll have the whale's tale in

. from new york city, this is "nightline" with juju chang. good evening, thank you for joining us, tonight, a dramatic showdown with egypt's president. once again, they have taken to the streets in dueling protests. but is this the people's coup or the military coup? tonight, they stand on the brink of civil war. alex? >> reporter: juju, it is a tale of two cities here in cairo tonight as we wait to see who makes the next move. president morsi was ousted by the egyptian military. a spokesperson now tells us he has been arrested. that, as hundreds of thousands of egyptians celebrated his removal from power.

fireworks and jubilation in tahrir square, and the military announced they have removed president morsi. in the speech to the nation, the head of the military said they are responding to the calls of the people. the military also blamed morsi for failing to unite egyptians. president morsi struck back and argued that he was legitimately elected. in a tweet, his office said that measures by the armed forces represent a coup categorjt(s&y rejected by our nation. in a video is posted on line, he warned whoever planned this wants to spill the blood of the egyptian people. it was just two and a half years ago that many of these same egyptians were fighting to oust another president. since then, egypt has become so deeply polarized t

worries that a civil war could tear the country apart. >> mohammed morsi made a lot of mistakes, and i think a lot of the decisions that he made over his first year in office did give people a real reason to question his intentions with respect to democracy and the brotherhood's ability to play a democracy game. >> reporter: the united states is watching events in cairo closely, egypt is one of the united states's closest allies in the middle east, and one of of the largest recipients of american dollars in the east. just days before, demonstrators gathered across the country to call for morsi to step down and for new elections to be held. according to the military, these demonstrations turned into the largest protest in egyptian history with millions demonstrating across the country. >> i want to send the message to president morsi in egypt. you are not welcome here. please get out. >> we don't want anymore of the

muslim brotherhood. we are not convinced with mohammed morsi, and we're going to stay on the streets until he leaves. >> reporter: feeling the momentum, the protesters came out the next day hoping the military would take their side. the crowds were so big, the military so strong, that the military gave morsi a 48-hour deadline to answer the crowds' demands. when they came out into the square, the crowd cheered. how do you feel about it? >> we're very happy, it is one of the best things that happened in egypt, we have been looking forward to it for a year now. >> reporter: the army is on your side now? >> yes, not only the army, but the police are with us. great to support all egyptians. >> reporter: you would like to see the army take over from the president? >> yes, we do. and if we see he is trying, we will look back, but he is not even trying. he is doing everything for the

muslim brotherhood groups, not for egyptians. >> reporter: since he was elected, egyptians say they lives got worse. >> it has actually gotten much, much worse. the country is basically not functioning. i mean, there is no security on the streets. the economy is doing badly. my business is not doing well. >> reporter: tourism, once the lifeblood of the egyptian economy has plummeted, the nile river now empty of the ships bringing tourists. he said he used to give 20 rides a day. on this day, it was his first. >> reporter: how much money did you make this week? >> this week, ten pounds. >> reporter: just ten pounds? less than two dollars? >> not working. >> reporter: the faction accused the muslim brotherhood which morsi belongs to, of imposing their values on egyptian life and trying to control the

people. >> they were changing the way we dressed, talked, even dealt with the society. >> reporter: clashes so far have left 40 people dead in the last four days of protests. in a defiant speech last night, morsi rejected the rhetoric, and accused others of causing the unrest. today, he let the ultimatum expire as hours passed with the military, confusion grew. do you know who is running the country? >> we have no idea. >> reporter: then came the announcement, and the eruption on the square. the birth place of one egyptian revolution, and now, perhaps another one. >> every single life, we have been waiting for this moment. >> reporter: but while many celebrated, morsi supporters responded with anger, after working in the shadows for more than 80 years, the once outlawed

muslim brotherhood is not going down without a fight. >> there is a lot of angry rhetoric talking about the brotherhood martyring themselves, so i think there is a real fear about violent opposition to this military takeover. >> reporter: for days, muslim brotherhood has warned of bloody repercussion if the military stepped in. today, a top official said that if morsi were ousted they would flood the street with supporters. so even as celebrations continue on tahrir square, egypt is bracing himsebrace ing itself for more bloody violence. juju. thank you, and now we turn to christiane amanpour with valuable information. thank you for joining us. >> good to be here. >> well, you were there in tahrir square as the democracy took shape. and it was an historic moment, and yet you can't watch the events of the last days and wonder, is democracy failing in the middle east?

>> you know, egypt is the bed rock of the area, so what happens in egypt is likely to happen in other areas. everybody is watching closely. it is a massive importavery imp situation. president morsi is viewed to have failed to deliver on his promises, he didn't give them the economic wherewithal that they wanted. and he is accused of linking too much with the islamic base. they are saying hang on, we are giving you a vote of no confidence, with our voices, bodies, in the streets. that is what is happening. >> and with the standoff, the u.s. is largely silent here, what is fascinating is a diplomatic dance that is going on as to whether or not this is technically a coup. >> and the officials are going to have a very hard time reacting to it.

twisting themselves in contortions, trying not to call it a coup. because this will affect the resolutions, what is really fascinating, you will see it explode all over social media. the anti-morsi protesters are on a massive campaign to say this is not a coup. the military did not step in. they are merely enacting the will of the people. look, it is a supreme court judge who will be the interim. but let's face it, the interim leadership will be umpired by the military. so no matter what you want to call it, the military is in charge, and it will be interesting to watch what happens in the next weeks and months. >> always fascinating to have your opinion, thank you. >> thank you, juju. and next, we're the biggest cheerleaders in america. are you ready for a close-up? it is selfy time. years ago, my doctor told me to take a centrum silver multivitamin every day.

if a picture is worth a thousand words, what does a million selfies say about the way we celebrate the one thing we're all obsessed with? ourselves. sharing the tweets and selfies out into the world, is a picture without any likes even a picture at all? we go for a close-up on selfy nation. celebra celebrities do it. even oscar winners and former first ladies do it. we all do it. and not always well.

the selfy. the digital self-portrait is now the digital touch corner stone of our working age. here is m & n at the louvre, and rihanna, just about everywhere. she has shared hundreds of intimate selfies with her 8 million instagram followers. it can be a deep-seated need for attention. >> celebrities have a very high need for approval and ego boosts. it is probably the reason they chose to be in that field is because they have that applause hunger. >> reporter: this psychologist wonders if we're a twitter nation. facebook and instagram may all be contributing to a generation of self-absorbed,

self-promoting, self-involved over-sharers. >> the super close-up of my eye. now it is selfy looking cute. >> when you send out a photo of yourself, the message is look at me, look at me, admire me. and the message is also vote for me, give me approval. give me either the thumbs up on facebook or little hearts on instagram. >> reporter: one study looked at 1700 college students over time and found that narcissictic rates have been going up. they take hundreds of selfies every year. according to research, teen girls are five times more likely than boys to share photos. >> it is friends. >> reporter: but does that make us a selfish culture? what does it say about us?

>> i think it is always a fun thing to do with your friends. >> reporter: of course not everyone thinks selfy is the downfall of culture, it is considered a classic self-examination. with instagram trending toward video, and facebook gobbling up vine, videos are now the rage, even the first lady is indulging in selfies. if you can get yourself noticed by 21,000 screaming fans, you, too, can go viral. but it might cost you, these girls were fined 1500 bucks, why are we fascinated by this? >> i think it is your eyes, the eyes are the window of the soul. as a portrait photographer, you can see if they're a smiler or are a frowner, by the wrinkles on their face. >> reporter: nigel barker has worked with some of the most

beautiful names on the planet. he made a name for himself. nigel sees selfies as therapeutic. >> there is an area, where if they feel insecure, they don't have confidence, they don't like the way they look in a picture it can really bring themselves down. >> reporter: but selfies can easily go awry, poor lighting or framing or just poor taste. what kind of a selfy shocks? like that guy pouring the chocolate on himself? >> it can be. >> reporter: so some are like exhibitionists? >> it is what you're trying to say, are you trying to get a date? are you trying to say hi to your mother or get a hair cut or look cool in the picture? there are so many messages. >> reporter: so many people do that duck face, why do they do that? >> they think they're looking better, they suck in the cheek,

then look at it and just don't get it. >> reporter: so you say the worst thing to do is pose. >> it is about you, there is a reason you look great in real life, it is catching the essence of who you are, and the pose is not you. >> reporter: where is the line between being confident or narcissisitic? >> it is about the picture, and being happy. >> reporter: nigel says start with being happy. >> i want to say look, i'm in this cool place with nigel. >> so immediately. you got that smiley face, there you go. that was beautiful. >> reporter: yeah, that was actually good. we took our selfy skills on location with nigel and his wife, a former model. >> i love this location, first of all, the graffiti, it works well for me, juxtaposes well,

with the jacket you're wearing, or kristi's coat. cue my wife. not to mention you got a great light box, which is this lit up building, which of course lights us up. >> reporter: being spontaneous is the final secret. it doesn't just make good selfies. being spontaneous is the spice of life. okay, go for it, selfy. coming up next for us, killer whales, stranded on an australian stand bar are rescued from their day at the beach. coming up in tonight's "feed frenzy." yeah. yeah. cause' by the time i do there's all these mystery stains. i mean is it coffee? is it bronzer? did i play rugby at some point? could be gravy. i do like gravy. anyway, so my mom sent us these tide boost thingies to put in the wash with tide. together they're like twice as strong. yeah. so it's like bye bye stains, hello perfection. what?
