friday. >> we will not. we will participate in all peaceful-led protests and events against this military coup. >> the egyptian military says it will allow peaceful protests from morsi supporters but it is deploying soldiers to monitor the ma. s. they've already rounded up and arrested many muslim brotherhood leaders. egypt's interim president adly mansour and morsi's opponent says morsi's overthrow was not a coup. >> it was a popular impeachment of the president. >> president obama has also been reluctant to call the change in power a coup. that's because u.s. law mandates that all foreign aid be cut off to countries where the military's overthrown a democratically elected government. the president spent at least part of his fourth of july

working. he met with his national security team in the white house situation room. the white house has been in contact with egyptian leaders to express the u.s.'s desire to have a democratically led government in place as soon as possible. and the u.s. is sending $1.3 billion in aid this year. the president has ordered a review to determine if that aid will be cut off. anne-marie? >> tara mergener in washington. thank you, tara. in seattle, a heavily armed man from nevada was arrested near the university of washington. he was arrested wednesday night. the stolen pickup truck he was driving was filled with weapons, body armor, and suspected explosives. police say they have no idea what his intentions were, but there did not appear to be any threat to the campus. the suspect is 21 years old and is not cooperating with authorities. the arizona wildfire that killed 19 firefighters is now 80% contained.

she says a rate of 6.8% will add $1,300 to her long-term debt when she's already putting herself through college and working two jobs to hold down her debt. >> i think it's really unfair for students to be in this place where they can't even bet on the next three years, you know, or they can't even bet they'll be able to finish their college degree and still be able to afford rent after they graduate, let alone even finding a job in their desired profession. >> it's very discouraging and it's very disappointing. >> reporter: anthony, a senior, worries the new rate will harm veterans. this man has been on five deployments and is also a counselor for veterans who need loans for college expenses not covered by the g.i. bill. because the new rate will add $2,600 to the average debt, he says some veterans won't even consider college. what are they facing that that $2,600 will make such a difference? >> they're already having transitional struggles.

i'm concerned as an advocate that a lot of our students will be discouraged, even if it's just a little bit, it will be enough for them to walk away and say this might not be the plan. >> reporter: they agree 6.8% is too high but they don't agree on how to fix it. by going home, congress missed its own deadline for avoiding the increase. the republican-controlled house did pass a bill that ties student loan rates to the u.s. treasury borrowing costs plus 2.5%. this week that rate would be 5%, but the rate could vary and float up to a maximum of 8.5%. but the republican bill would also help to lower the deficit by $3.7 billion, and that amount is a problem for most senate democrats. majority leader harry reid says it's too much to collect from students. >> we don't think there should be deficit reduction based on the backs of these young men and women who are trying to go to college. >> reporter: the senate is

working on a compromised bill, and all sides promise the 6.8% rate will be reversed with a credit to any student who pays it, but when congress left for home, there were major differences between the house and the senate, and the pathway to this promised deal isn't clear. wyatt andrews, cbs news, washington. well, straight ahead, your friday morning weather, and subway shocker. a woman falls onto the tracks of an oncoming train, but there's a surprise ending to this story. a surprise ending to this story.
