the one outside cairo university has been going on for over one month and will remain. these are still the nerve centers, the epicenter of the movements. they are organizing marches to the security services across cairo and across the country. the reason behind it is because they announced the security services of the over 120 protesters, also because they realized it is what they are trying to direct the opposition toward those the undertook the crew. militaryn to the leaders and the institution which they still hold, and they want to make it clear that they are not against the army, but against leaders that are essentially cracking down on egyptians freedoms. >> interesting to see that there have been warnings issued by the military cannot get close. >> as far as the protesters are concerned, bears are a completely peaceful march. they point to the fact that they are civilians from the women and children. they will only go as far as they are physically allowed it to get close to. they will not remain in any of these places but they will essentially indicate the focus o

turned violent. 23 people were killed today mostly in a single incident of fighting outside cairo university. the president himself took to the air waves making a live appeal to the people of egypt. he said he rejects all dictates from at home or abroad and urged the military to drop its ultimatum. here's one part of his speech. >> no one has the authority to intervene in the constitution either by what they say or by force, god forbid. >> if morsi refuses to step down there is the danger of escalating violence. a senior leader with morsi's muslim brotherhood told reporters get ready for marytrdom. a draft plan by the military apparently calls for suspending the constitution, and install a new leadership. the clock is ticking. we'll see what happens later on today. >> now a fox business alert. markets back here at home also reacting to the clashes in egypt. wall street doing a nose dive and oil prices heading the other direction. they are actually up. lauren simonetti from the fox business net work has details on what we can expect today. >> violence in egypt no doubt keeping wall street on

overnight violent clashes at cairo university left 23 president.e millions of anti-government protesters calling for him to step aside. the egyptian army says if he does not leave by 11:00 eastern time they will remove him. >>> lance armstrong getting back on his bike for the first time since admitting he was guilty of doping. he'll mac a public cycling appearance at a week-long event in iowa, expected to ride in at least part of the 400-mile trek. armstrong was stripped of his seven tour de france titles. >>> a dangerous drug trend. study by the centers for disease control reveals a dramatic increase in the number of prescription pain killer deaths among women over the last decade. they are up shockingly 400%. the cdc study says men are still more likely to die from pain killer overdoses but the gender gap is closing fast. >>> we want to introduce to you a french bulldog named lentil. he's been called the ambassadog for kids with cleft palate. plastic surgeon at the children's hospital of philadelphia fixed his palate so he can eat and drink on hi

overnight, clashes at cairo university have left at least 16 people ted.ds were injured as supporters of president mohamed morsi squared off with their opponents who want the president out. morsi is refusing to bend, saying he is the legitimately legislated president. now the clock is ticking. the egyptian military has given morsi just a few more hours to resolve the crisis, or they say, they will step in, reza sayah has been following this. we now have less than six hours left. do we have any idea exactly what the military plans to do if we reach that deadline? >> reporter: it's not exactly clear, poppy. and that only adds to the spence and the intrigue. and the military really put the spotlight on themselves with this ultimatum. and the deadline today. the ultimatum to the president and the opposition factions to solve this conflict. otherwise, the military said, it would step in. but if the conflict is not resolved and indication is it's not going to be. this say showdown. it could potentially turn violent. in some cases it has. and what makes this so d

now, at cairo university, there was a group of protesters who were actually in support of president morsiat police did not protect them from attacks carried out by thugs. and so in the last couple hours, particularly since the end of president mohamed morsi's speech, there has been an uptick in violence that many people feel is a result of the building tension in these final hours before the ultimatum. >> the ultimatum which the military has issued, i would even say not with authoritatively, but on somewhat dubious authority, other than the fact they are the military, this ultimatum they've issued, my understanding is it expires around 10:00, 11:00 a.m. our time tomorrow morning. what are people anticipating in the next 12 to 24 hours? >> reporter: well, at this particular point, we really have no clear indication what is going to happen. local egyptian media with sources in the military have been suggesting that the military has already prepared this roadmap. the roadmap would involve a series of short-term and long-term steps. among the short-term steps would be the announcement that th

and cairo university as well, that has been the center where pro supporters have been gathering. a lot of different pockets in cairo is making it dangerous for supporters and of the president. it is giving a major challenge to the security to try to maintain any kind of law and order. yesterday, despite what happened outside our office, it nearly took two hours for the military and the police to show up to try to separate these two sides. it's this type of violence that has many people here afraid that egypt is slowly moving to the brink of more chaos and more violence. >> thank you so much, ayman. >>> did the state prove its case? legal analysis of the george zimmerman trial coming up. >>> plus, on a summer slide. could we see a spike in gas prices? how egypt could affect the playing field next. and this park is the inside of your body. you see the special psyllium fiber in metamucil actually gels to trap and remove some waste. and that gelling also helps to lower some cholesterol. it even traps some carbs to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels as part of your diet. now tha

more violence overnight close to cairo university. clashes killing at least 20 people. the military remains on high alert with few hours to go until the deadline, then the road map will be implemented. no details on that, but that's it for now. >> thank you. >>> back in the u.s., the white house is putting the brakes on a major part of president obama's health care law and republicans say it is further proof the entire law should be scrapped. tracie potts is in washington. explain what the latest move means. >> reporter:f you own a business with 50 or more employees, you had until next year, 2014, to get health insurance for all of them. now you get an extra year. the obama administration has decided to extend that after business groups lobbied and said, look, the reporting requirements are just too tough. they are too complicated. didn't have to do with the cost of the health care, had to do with reporting to the government who's got health insurance in that company and who does not. if you work for one of those companies and don't have insurance, it means you may not

this was a rally supporting president morsi at cairo university, but there were others elsewhere in the city and across the country. the brotherhood can turn out big crowds. some young men with martyrdom on their minds brandished burial shrouds. the muslim brotherhood says violence should play no part in what is happening. the people, it says, are free to express themselves however they like. the brotherhood has been working toward the power it has now since it was founded in 1928. the plaza outside the university shook with their determination not to let the army take it away. >> there are civilians in the streets. you cannot shoot the people. you must listen to the voices of support. think the army threats to intervene are effectively a coup? did a very [indiscernible] >> president morsi needs these supporters. his government is crumbling. at least six ministers have resigned, with rumors of more leaving before the army ultimatum expires. even his spokesmen have gone. in government, the muslim brotherhood has been inexperienced, and at times, incompetent. but here on the streets, it i

action to clear these two main protest sites, one of which is in the east of close toe other one cairo university. commentse been a few from the interior minister saying steps would be taken, there would be warnings given, but then we understand that we use crowd dispersal methods. they have water cannons and perhaps teargas to try to disperse the crowds. but members of the muslim brotherhood which are leading the protest said they will not be moved, they will not recognize the legitimacy of this new government. they are still calling for the reinstatement of mr. morsi. it looks likely if there is some move to try to move the protesters, that it will lead to further bloodshed and violence. already we have had in just the last month clashes in egypt, more than 260 people killed. in the early hours of saturday morning, there were more than 70 people killed at the main protest site near the mosque. >> i imagine the government is pretty keen to avoid scenes of violence like we have seen in the past, aren't they? >> i would have thought so, too. there is certainly a lot of pressure coming from the int

the professor of political science at cairo university, perhaps you can tell us about the press conference that just happened. i understand the deposed president's family has been issuing a statement. the family a sure they have not been in contact with the president and nobody has been able to visit him or know exactly where he is. have been saying the family is in touch with him. there is the total negation of the of fact. exactly how he will be treated, whether he will be put to trial or continue to stay. ,> it was a very feisty event an opportunity to criticize the military takeover as well. . they are talking about prosecuting the military over the capture of mohamed morsi. >> the egyptian people are very divided. more than half of the people will say this is not a coup d'etat. the military has intervened according to the wishes of the people so it does not have to be treated at all as a coup d'etat. deposed from was the office. but for security reasons, he is presidencyorced until it is clear whether he will be put to trial or not. >> to what extent will there be a rallying point, th

in a professor of political science from cairo university. do you think william burns trip to egypt will achieve anything in the short term that we will be able to see for ourselves? is he simply on an expedition to find out what is going on? >> i see it as a fact-finding mission. i do not think it has any of the goals. it might bethought to release mohamed morsi. i do not think that is one of the objectives of the visit. there has been a u.s. assessment that has invested too much in the ability to stabilize the situation in egypt. this assessment was revealed to be wrong. i think the u.s. administration from allhear directly corners and reassess its politics in egypt. >> mr. burns is not likely to turn around the military men and those behind the toppling of mohamed morsi and say you have to sort this out quickly or we will cut aid. unlikely? is in thet think it interests of the united states or the intention of the united states to cut military aid to egypt. this military aid is in the u.s. overallhe policy in the middle east. it is linked

the deaths, most of those occurred around the cairo university area. two people died in the bridge square area, the one behind me that you can see in this shot. that was the total from the clashed overnight, clashes between pro-muhammed morsi supporters and police. >> in terms of the demonstrators still on the streets, you were telling me earlier that there were a great number of people in one mosque suggesting that they have now moved out. people a few hundred have gathered inside overnight. there were different reports about whether they had planned to hold a sit in or had gone after some kind of protection. we spoke to someone who was in there this morning to confirm that the people had taken cover there and wanted shelter from the clashes going on outside. in the last 30 minutes they have left and are now on their way to toster city -- nassar city join the pro-rebel rally and are hoping to secure their package out of the mosque, because the people inside were worried that they would be attacked by different groups of men in the area who were positi

to protect them from any attacks like what we saw at cairo university, where morsi supporters have clashed with protesters. the casualties rose to 6 officially dead. we expect more casualties and over 50 injured. one of the tourist sites, clashes have happened there as well, about 14 are injured. this comes as a series of clashes spread all over the country and still is spreading as president morsi spoke to the nation today. during his speech, he insisted that neither the opposition nor the supporters would clash with the army. >> do not ever wrong the egyptian army, whether you are a supporter or opponent, because this is what enemies want. protect the military because it is a main asset. protect the army because it took a long time for us to take this strong form and it will take more time for it to be stronger and stronger. you not ever go against the army or use violence. >> the clock is ticking. what is your best guess on what could possibly happen when we reach that deadline? >> the army announced that it will have an official statement tomorrow at 14:30 gmt, 4:00 local time. it will

in the cityected and in front of cairo university in the suburb of giza. here are some live pictures were those people backing morsi have been camped out for weeks. more people are joining them to rally. cairoe the latest in could what has been the reaction there to the allegations we have just heard? >> it has been a mixture of anger to essentially brushing it off as another maneuver or attempt by the military coup leaders to demonize the ousted president and to try to find some sort of reasoning or justification for what they considered to be the kidnapping of egypt's one and only democratically elected president. it is important to note that the judiciary and egypt does not work on fridays. -- in egypt does not work on fridays. that is leading a lot of people to question why this came out today. it is important to note that the charges that are being pressed against mohamed morsi are being done so without morsi having a lawyer or without him being able to see any rights organizations. that is something that is raising a lot of concern among not only the

. >> the army struggled to separate supporters and opponents of the president around cairo university. the tension shows the danger that egypt faces. at least 18 people were killed in street battles here last night. thel people, opponents of brotherhood, built barricades. and showed off blood stains where they said a boy had been killed. many other local communities, supporters as well as opponents of mr. moore's, will be just as nervous. down the street -- opponents of mr. morsi, will be just as nervous. , whichid the brotherhood held power for one year after working for it since 1928, would never give up. >> this is democracy that we fought for. >> men drilled, waiting for a fight which many have said they would have died for. the big question for each of now is how much violence will accompany these events. this experiment with democracy of the last 12 months has been disastrous. calm, ata tentative worst, the crisis is about to get much more serious. the celebrations and tahrir square will go on for hours, but elsewhere in cairo, there are already reports of clashes and gunfire. t

in egypt, fresh street clashes killed at least nine people near the main campus of cairo university. the latest violence between supporters and opponents of ousted leader mohammed morsi broke out before dawn, at the site of a muslim brotherhood sit-in. police said hundreds of morsi supporters battled with local residents. the confrontations left smashed glass and a dozen charred cars. more than 30 people were wounded. al-qaeda claimed responsibility today for the recent raids on two high-security prisons near baghdad. iraqi officials say about 500 inmates escaped, including some top al-qaeda militants. today the areas around the prisons were locked down as police searched for escapees. a suicide bombing in eastern afghanistan today killed three nato soldiers and their interpreter. the taliban claimed responsibility for the attack in wardak province. the nationalities of the service members were not immediately released. pope francis rested and held private meetings during his first full day in brazil, after an event-filled arrival yesterday. last evening, throngs of people surrounded

the violence is close to cairo university. not far from our vantage point here. we're seeing more and more calls for the president to step down to engage with the opposition. also, we're seeing the rhetoric, mara, sharpen from both sides, from the incumbent president and his speech at midnight yesterday and the response on the official facebook page by the army that says it will sacrifice its blood from egypt to protect it from radicals. let's see how this all evolves but there's a lot at stake here. >>> now we go to washington. the white house is putting the brakes on president obama's health care law. nbc tracie potts is live in washington to tell us what this meaning. >> reporter: good morning. the obama administration is delaying a key provision of the controversial legislation. this said businesses with 50 or more employees have to provide health insurance to all of their employees or they could face fines for every one that picks up on government funded or government-backed insurance. but they're now putting that off for a year. businesses have until 2015 t

morsi supporters have camped out near the campus of cairo university since he was deposed by the military three weeks ago. egypt's interim president called on egypt since to unite and overcome their differences. -- called on egypt and to unite -- called on egyptians to unite in overcome their differences >> al qaeda carried out raids, and many of those freed were insurgents. at least 25 security guards were killed in the attacks. al qaeda said it had been months landing and preparing the raids on prisons. here in germany, chancellor merkel has taken some hits in the political arena in recent weeks. today, she showed her human side, taking time out of her summer vacation to visit families in flood-devastated regions. >> hundreds of homes were damaged when the elbow river -- elbe river rose over its banks. locals are still struggling to get their lives back on track. >> chancellor merkel wanted to see for herself how the region is recovering. it's several weeks since the cleanup began, but the village is still in ruins. many houses will need extensive rebuilding work. these rooms were flood

clashes continuing now in gee sa, not far from cairo university where there was another huge pro morrissey demonstration taking place as far as we understand reports from witnesses on the scene tell us that assailants, unknown assailants, drove past iring live ammunition at pro -- of the president's supporters. there are pictures of trees being burned down. while it is very violent there where those clashes are taking place, it is a small indication of just how dangerous the situation is, just how out of control it can get and this is what many people have been fearing and warning about as both sides continue to up the ante and continue to raise the stakes while the tension just simmers and it's a matter of time, many believe, that things could just really get out of hand unless some sort of solution is found and found quickly. >> you've been down amongst the protesters talking over the last few days, what sort of indications have you been getting from them about their willingness to resort to violence? >> well, i mean, in terms of those who have been camped outside for several days now in

people also gathered at cairo university and giza on the outskirts of the egyptian capital. and this was the scene in the city of alexandria. a probe morsi supporters have pro-morsirallying -- supporters have been rallying in other cities as amnesty international released new reports about hundreds of arrests by security forces. human rights workers say hundreds of people's arrested by egyptian authorities are being denied their rights. amnesty international said more an660 mohamed morsi supporters have been detained since he was removed from the presidency three weeks ago. any of them are muslim brotherhood leaders. an unknown number remain in detention and it is unclear whether they have been charged. arewhereabouts of morsi also uncertain. some who had been released claimed they were blindfolded, beaten, hit and given electric shocks. amnesty international says it appears many detainees have not been given access to a lawyer. joining us live from cairo is our correspondent. just how alarming are the contents of this report? that firsto be said of all it is quite difficult

streets and will remain in the open-ended city that's been announced here as well as outside cairo university. anything more than that it's not really clear. really the brotherhood and support have been left with very loirl then street protests because they're top leaders have been rounded up. they're assets frozen. the rest who have not been rounded up are wanted men. in terms of the political dialogue being proposed essentially shot in the foot before that happened because who will you have dialogue with when all of the leaders are fugitives or behind bars? >> thank you. we can go right now to our guest who joins us live from our studio indown town cairo. robbie, we're hearing and seeing certainly on social media also reports of clashes taking place across cairo. what can you confirm for us? >> certainly exkla lation on behalf of supporters of pro morsi have been clear the past few days they want to take their kalis outside the constant presence in the eastern part of the capital. outside, by the way, the city. they have been organizes marches the past few days in other parts, specifically

joining me is the professor from political science from cairo university.elcome to al jazeera, sir. nice to have you on the program. >> my pleasure. >> we've seen the e.u. foreign policy chief come and go and now we've got two senior american politicians arriving. what can they add to this political mix? that hasn't already been achieved by what the e.u. hopefully tried to do? >> this means that the united states and europe is very much interested by what is going on because the stability of the region is of great concern for both europe and the united states. so they are listening very carefully to what all the parties could say, so everybody can have a chance to assist exactly what is going on and to listen directly from the concerned parties. i do believe there is some hope after the visit that she was permitted to see former president morsi and talk to him. sure she will have an idea now if there's something new she could aid or if there is room for mediation or something like that. >> it seems the e.u. were very quick off the mark. they were able to tr

at least 23 people were killed, 16 pro-morsi supporters at a demonstration at cairo university alone. if morsi does not reach a solution later this morning, the army says it will step in and impose its own political plan. millions of people have been taking to the streets since sunday, many calling on morsi to step down. >>> also new this morning, islamist militants in russia's unsettled north caucuses region calling for followers to use maximum force to stop the winter olympic games in sochi. it's close to the volatile region. in a video post on a website, an insurgent leader says the olympic games would mock the ancestors, the muslims who are buried in the region. he also claimed responsibility for organizing numerous attacks including a suicide bombing at a moscow airport back in 2011. russian president putin has promised very tight security at the games. set to start up come february. >>> the international drama surrounding nsa leaker edward snowden continues. rumors that snowden was on board a plane carrying bolivian president morales forcing the plane rerouted to austria. presid

near cairo university, thousands of morsi supporter, mostly islamists, are still protesting, angry, surrounded by egyptian troops. a crackdown is under way. >> this is not legal. they are arresting people without order. >> reporter: this cell phone video, the last we saw of president morsi, practicing a speech last night, denouncing the military's intervention. he never got to deliver it. the army tells us only that he is now, quote, in a safe place, incommunicado, banned from travel. about a dozen leaders of the muslim brotherhood have been arrested. security forces are said to be searching for some 300 more as some morsi supporters have begun posting threats online that they'll become suicide bombers. the u.s. embassy, just off tahrir square, is closed. ambassador ann patterson, criticized here as too close to morsi, nowhere in sight. the embassy's fourth of july celebrations canceled. nonessential staff ordered home. a sign of how volatile the biggest country in the arab world remains after its second revolution. morsi supporters tomorrow, carl, are planning to have their own demonstration
