welcome back. morning to you, giving us a live look from our ktvu towercam at the estuary there. looks like we have some folks already in the water in the mid- 40s if oakland. that was the sound of a shaking after a magnitude 6.8 earthquake hit the country in chile. it sent people into a panic. as you can see, many of the chileans were visibly upset. yesterday's quake comes already and almost one year after a magnitude 8.8 quake set off a tsunami that left 500 people dead. so far, there are no reports of any injuries or deaths from yesterday's quake but more than a dozen aftershocks have hit the country in the hours since
8:45 am
the first shaking began. this morning a pakistani court in pakistan has issued an arrest warrant for former military leader pervez musharraf. the warrant is in connection to the 2007 assassination of bhutto who was the chair of the people's party and she was killed during an attack during a rally for the new election. her supporters say musharraf did not do enough to protect her and tried to cover up the government mistakes in the investigation. musharraf has lived in exile since 2008, spending time between dubai and england. egypt's military now in charge after the ousting of president hosni mubarak. we just learned opposition groups will end their protests in central cairo. for more on the developments we have dr. mohammad a professor of arab studies on phone this morning. good morning. >> good morning. >> let's talk about what this means for that entire region. people are concerned on what could happen in other countries. they know the chairman of the

8:47 am
steps done at various levels. on the first one, of course, i want to just let people know that egypt army is not that kind of army, right now that will be become a -- or anything like that or take over the country. egyptian army does not have the knowledge to even run any type after fairs and we don't expect it to do so. it's basically a question of overseeing the transition. now, as to what will happen on the grounds, here's what i expect. i expect the egyptian confusion gets radically more defined, in order not to allow for any -- that somebody who takes over and just do what mubarak did, at the same time there will be fair elections on even marches within society and also maybe leading figures, the arab league chairman, i can also think of -- very important and hopefully pop already people in egypt who might take over and might be elected in the free election process that hopefully
8:48 am
will take place in september and this is what i see it going. >> in the meantime, i know that the opposition groups just told us within the last half hour they'll end these daily protests we see on the streets of cairo. big crowd out there top. but weekly demonstrations. how likely if things don't go the way the people want will we see more continued protests? >> well, i do not think that anyone in egypt now thinks that the army takeover will be a return to the type of government so i really think that this is a trawlingful account egyptian revolting now for 19 days, it's time for people to get bag to their life and time for them to -- the job has been done. mubarak is gone. and this is the -- what we all kneeled and time to look forward and hopefully get salvage whatever is left of our country and just look ahead at this moment, which is a great
