clarissa ward is in cairo tonight. clarissa what is the latest there? >> reporter: well, jeff, we just returned from one of those protest camps where the number of demonstrators appears to be growing, not shrinking. and while we were there we saw police helicopters swoop in low over the crowds, dropping leaflets on to the people below, urging them to leave the camps and saying that they would be guaranteed a safe exit if they did so quickly. >> glor: clarissa, i think one question a lot of people are asking is how long can all of this go on for? >> well, that's the million dollar question, jeff. the leaflets didn't give a time line as to when the protestors have to leave by but the government has said that the window for dialogue and reconciliation is closing quickly. and certainly those u.s.-backed diplomatic efforts do not appear to be bearing any fruit. >> glor: clarissa ward in cairo, thank you. the new president of iran hasan rouhani was sworn into office in tehran today. elizabeth palm certificate in tehran with more on the man and his message for

. >> schieffer: clarissa ward in cairo. clarissa, deputy secretary of state bill burns is back in cairo. he was there a couple of weeks ago. now he's back. what's that all about? >> that's right, bob. well, burns is expected to meet with defense minister cece, also the foreign minister, and the muslim brotherhood leaders. he's one of a number of top diplomats applying intense pressure to both sides trying to prevent further violence here in egypt. with the muslim brotherhood expanding its protest and with the government talking ever more forcefully about a possible, imminent crackdown, burns is going to have his work cut out for him. >> schieffer: lrkt clarissa ward in i cairo. thank you, clarissa. what exactly does it mean when the label says gluten free. and cruise ship lines begin posting crime stats when the cbs evening news continues. >> schieffer: gluten is a protein found in wheat and other grains, and, therefore, in a lot of the food we eat, but it can make some people sick, which is why many products claim to be gl

clarissa, how did the muslim brotherhood react to all of this?> reporter: well, bob, the muslim brotherhood has said that it is not frightened by today's announcement. a spokesperson for the group has accused the government of being "h "hungry for more blood." they argue that their protest is peaceful. they reject the accusation that they pose any kind of a security threat. and they've said that any attempts to try to disperse those protests will only harden their resolve. >> schieffer: okay, well, thank you very much, clarissa. will congress give students a break on their loans? why are wounded veterans forced to get treatment in mobile homes? and everybody in the pool, and i mean everybody. when the "cbs evening news" continues. acid r is at hand. for many, nexium provides heartburn relief and may be available for just $18 a month. there is risk of bone fracture and low magnesium levels. side effects may include headache, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. if you have persistent diarrhea, contact your doctor right away. other serious stomach conditi

clarissa, what is this? is it headed to civil war? >> well, scott, i think it's important to remember the military and the government it install have had huge public support in egypt at the moment. many people actually approve of the actions of security forces today. one egyptian woman said to me "if you have a bleeding wounded leg you have to amputate it." that may sound shocking to us but it is a common attitude there. at the same time, even if the muslim brotherhood were only supported by 10% of the country, that's still nine million people. the government must know it can't kill its way out of the stalemate. there needs to be serious reconciliation and it's hard to see that happening now. we need to be careful about using terms like civil war but these are dark, dark days for egypt. >> pelley: reconciliation is what the u.s. government for is calling for tonight. clarissa, thank you. at his court-martial today, u.s. army soldier bradley manning apologized for, as he put it, "hurting the united states." while manning was stationed

clarissa ward has been covering what is happening in cairo. she joins us tonight, clarissa, what is the latest? >> reporter: good evening, jeff. that's right. multiple reports now suggest that police are going to take action against those two protest camps here in cairo as early as dawn tomorrow morning. according to the reports, security forces will form a cordon around the camp that will allow people to leave the camps but will not allow people to enter them. the timing of this is not surprising. the government has been telling these protestors now for weeks that they have to leave the camps. now cbs news has just returned from one of the camps. there was no sign of an increase of security, military or police presence. but the numbers there are huge. there are tens of thousands of people there, including hundreds of children. now the government has repeatedly said that it wants to disperse these camps gradually that it wants to disperse these camps peacefully. but with so many people at these camps who are saying that they are willing to ris

clarissa ward is in cairo, clarissa, where do we go from here? >> good evening, norah. that's right, despite their best efforts, senators john mccain and graham left here empty handed. if anything, their visit appears to have backfired with many egyptians condemning what they called unacceptable interference into egyptian domestic affairs. now, today the egyptian presidency reiterated its commitment to go in and clear out those protest camps where thousands of supporters of the ousted president mohamed morsi eave been camped out for more than a month. so the question is really no longer if it will happen but when it will happen. tonight is the final night of the muslim holy month of ramadan and the next few days here are celebrations. so few people believe that security forces will go in during the next few days, but the muslim brotherhood has called for protests across the country and, of course, the concern here is always that whenever you have people on the streets there's always the possibility of violence. >> o'donnell: clarissa ward, thank you. in kenya, a fire to

and we want to go directly now to cbs news foreign correspondent clarissa ward, who is at the u.s. embassy in cairo, which is closed this morning, and where this latest al qaeda threat just adds to the very tense situation there. clarisa, what's the latest? >> reporter: good morning, bob. the u.s. embassy here in cairo is just about 200 yards behind me. you can probably see that blast wall there which cuts off any traffic from getting any closer to the embassy. security is always very tight here, but today the embassy is closed, along with every single other u.s. embassy in the arab world, as well as several others in predominantly muslim countries. now, it's not just diplomats being affected here. cbs news has confirmed at least one other u.s. non-governmentald organization has asked its american employees to stay at home and work from home today. the period of concern appears to be these final few days of the muzz lum holy month of ramadan. this is one of the most important times in the muslim calendar, and it is expected all these exwaess will open again tomorrow, bob, but the s

. >> dubois: clarissa ward joins us now from cairo. clarissa, i'm wondering, what's been the reaction of everyday egyptians to the senators' visit? >> reporter: well, maurice anti- american sentiment is at an all- time high here and egyptians who support the military are particularly sensitive about the coup word. they hate it. so they were very unhappy that both senators called the military's takeover a coup with senator mccain even joking "hey, if it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck --". >> dubois: i think we get the idea. clarissa ward, thank you very much tonight. t news conference today. hassan rouhani gave the strongest indication yet that iran wants to settle the dispute over its nuclear program. elizabeth palmer is among the correspondents who questioned rouhani in tehran. >> reporter: as he arrived to face a room full of journalists, president rouhani knew there'd be no ducking the sensitive issue of u.s.-iranian relations. >> madam elizabeth palmer, cbs news. >> reporter: do you see any prospect of direct talks wit

>> clarissa ward in cairo. thank you, clarissa. >>> employers added a modest 162,000 jobs. that was enough to push the unemployment rate down to 7.4%. here to help us is lauren lyster. good morning. >> good morning, guys. they thought it would be 185,000. >> indeed. >> it's bad report. >> it's a disappointing report. i know it seemed mixed, the lowest rating on the year that sounds great however, it could be because more people drop out of the labor force because we saw the participation rate drop. not what you want to see. at the same time the jobs that you referred to was below expectations, which is never good, and on slower pace than what we've seen. it's slowly improving the jobs market, however it's a disappointing report. >> these weren't particularly great jobs either. >> yeah. most of the jobs added were in retail or leisure and hosstalt which includes restaurants and bars. so these are not exactly the highest paying jobs. they're low. this was the first drop since october and in general wages have risen 1.9% to keep up with inflation. that could be why even though

clarissa, what's the latest? >> reporter: that's right, terrell, in a two-hour interview, sisi accused the u.s. of ignoring the will of the egyptian people by refusing to endorse the military takeover, a measure he said he took to prevent this country from descending into civil war. sisi said he speaks to secretary of defense chuck hagel every day but president obama has not called him once since morsi's ouster. >> brown: we know that secretary of state bill burns is work with both sides. how are those negotiations oting? >> reporter: burns has been meeting with all the top players, including general sisi, and working closely with a top european union diplomat trying to get both sides to agree to a n.litical settlement to prevent further bloodshed. but we do not know how successful those talks have been. >> brown: clarissa ward in cairo for us tonight. narissa, thank you. the obama administration has amaoed a ban on importing certain older models of apple delsnes and ipads. the u.s. international trade commission

clarissa ward is tracking developments from london.ssa, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and norah. this is a moment everyone had been dreading and so many had been desperately hoping to avoid. security forces have launched an all-out offensive to push those pro morsi protesters out of though two camps and as many had predicted, it is quickly turning into a bloodbath, with the number of dead and injured continuing to mount. parts cairo look like a war zone this morning. as clashes between morsi supporters and security forces quickly escalated. egyptian police pushed into the carves early scamps early this morning with bulldozers firing tear gas to disperse the protesters. live gunfire crackling through the air. cbs news producer alex ortiz was able to gain access to a field hospital in one of the camps where the dead and injured have been pouring in. >> the floors and the walls of the field hospital are slick with blood. the sound of automatic gunfire is unrelenting. as government snipers fire at the only one still open

yesterday they told our clarissa ward that the situation is bleak. >> do you think egypt might fail? >> i think it might. i think i wouldn't be here if i didn't think that it might, and i think the events in the next few weeks will determine that. >> i would go one step further. i think it's going to fail if something doesn't change, and to the american people, matters in egypt matter to us. >>> yesterday they continue third protests. they refuse to negotiate unless morsi is returned to power. >>> the trial of the army soldier accused in the deadly assault at ft. hood, texas, is expected to take months. it got under way yesterday with major nidal hasan admitting he was the major gunman in the shooting spree. susan mcginnis reports. >> u.s. army soldier nidal hasan spoke softly but distinctly when he told jurors i am the shooter. acting as his own attorney he called himself an imperfect muslim and apologized for his mistakes. >> he further stated that during the war he eventually found himself on the wrong side and switched sides. >> in its opening statement he described wanting to ki

. >> our clarissa ward is with us. she just returned from egypt where she spent nearly two months covering the political crisis. extraordinary to see the president yesterday make those comments. today is a day of rage in egypt. what's your big concern? >> well, obviously, the big concern is how can you pull back from the brink now? egypt was always a scene of security. egyptians were really bonded and united together by the spirit of togetherness. and now we're seeing that threatened. the very social fabric of this country is being torn apart. of course the concern is an insurgency will now possibly ensue. >> that is the question. we've seen what happened in syria. you've spent plenty of time in syria. when we see these pictures, what prevents egypt from becoming the next syria? >> i don't think we're there yet. this isn't a civil war situation per se yet. but we are looking at a return, egypt returning to becoming a police state. you're seeing the government and the military cracking down on the muslim brotherhood. th

but as clarissa ward reports from cairo listen to this their message fell on deaf ears. >> reporter:enators came with a message of friendship but they also delivered a stern warning. that if this country does not take steps towards reconciliation, it could be consumed by violence. are you alarmed by what you see happening in egypt? >> oh my god, i didn't know it was this bad. these folks are just days or weeks away from all-out bloodshed. there's a demonstration that's going to go bad here soon. the police are going to overreact. yes, i am extremely worried. >> reporter: you both called this a coup in one way or another. why do you think president obama chose to send you two? >> i don't know but he didn't really send us. we were planning on going. what we're trying to do is mom forward and see if we can't bring about movement towards peaceful negotiations. >> why don't we call it a coup? the people governing the country never got one vote. the people who won the election are in jail. pretty clear to me that's the definition of a coup. >> reporter: the president called the senator's c
