. >> mohammed mahmoud streak runs down from the frontline since saturday. the fight has been led by organized football fans with long experience of taking on the police. the gas keeps them back from the interior ministry, which is a symbol of the old regime. life has not offered any favors. the gas slows them but does not stop them, because our rage against the system they believe would benefit others. good >> we are here, and they show no desire to leave. i cannot see a political deal that will get them out of here. >> he said these are wounds from police shotguns and was proud of them. everyone with an empty gas can points out they were made in america out. here on the streets, some of the young, poor, and angry increasingly see western allies as enemies. one man threatened, if anyone films on my territory, i will kill. just off mohammad mahmoud street, a man was clearing his warehouse. a disturbance means more demand for an economy battered by revolutionary turmoil. they carried out some of this through teargas. many egyptians long for a quiet and uncert

those reforms quickly the clashes are ongoing they're happening a short distance from me and mohamed mahmoud street now there was seeing much the same scenes we saw yesterday tuesday and this just by the promise by mohammed khatami the head of the supreme council of armed forces that he would accept the resignation of his government the clashes are seen ambulances carrying the injured fortune back which you can hear behind me the kind of chaos and mayhem that is erupting here the doctors are reporting that they simply cannot cope with the number of injured people there are makeshift clinics throughout tuffy is where we are receiving particularly worrying reports that the security personnel have been using a new kind of tear gas that is particularly lethal human rights groups are bringing attention to it the doctors are saying that they see new kinds of injuries and protesters arriving here today are bringing with them bottles of water mixed with stomach medicine to try and we try as the effect of that tear gas i continued that i was able to some of it yesterday and for a few moments you simp

i mean if not it's all chaos pandemonium has broken out that one of the just concentrated in mohamed mahmoud street just a short distance from the head we understand he said he firing live ammunition a number of fires have broken out in the area and there are ambulances behind me harming both directions having the wounded and the sick to the various makeshift clinics that if you where now of course plus the distance from that to me it's scary when a youngster around here looking up at monitors tells at the army it's a lot of anger there's a lot of patients to see coming. i think twenty four hours since we've heard from mama can tell you this is a sixteen ounce of off this is saying that on this message to hang the power so as the violence here increases it may have the i want to face of actually harming the result but just as they now say they going no where in fact if he sings along the setting out they have no intention of believing the army any more than they did over the last seven eight months during which time they see it make very little difference there's also the heavy smell of tear

we were there at the protests watching on mohamed mahmoud street with no firebombs whatsoever. >> werearound you throwing rocks or firebombs? >> they were throwing, i believe, rocks. though i did not even see -- i didn't see any firebombs being thrown either. yeah, but maybe rocks. >> now, in hindsight, do you think it was the smart and safe decision to be near other people throwing rocks and to be this close to the protests? >> i still -- i would still say that going to the protest was a smart decision, and it's the decision that i would have regretted not making, however, i probably could have stayed farther away from the more violent scenes. certainly i should have stayed more -- farther away from the more violent scenes like this actually. >> a lot of us are curious to hear how you were treated when you went to jail? were you beaten? how were you treated? >> well, the first night was a lot rougher than the following days and nights. and in the first night we were punched in the face a number of times. they held a bottle of gasoline to my mouth and asked -- and were motioning as tho

>> we were on mohammed mahmoud street off of tahrir square and police just fired something into a crowdroup of plain clothed egyptians came up to us offering to take us safety where upon they brought us into a building, put our shirts up over our heads so we couldn't see. >> which point did you realize, okay, this isn't right, we're in trouble here? >> yeah, after -- well, we crossed a police line where other protesters were not allowed to cross and at that point we started to resist a little bit and then they started dragging us and punching us. >> what was the worst of it? because i understand, as bad as it was, that you were dragged and punched that that night things got pretty terrifying. >> yeah, that first night still give me chills. we ended up spending seven hours in a dark room with guys with guns, presumably egyptian policemen with guns behind us, and they told us that if we moved, we would be shot. so we sat there in the fetal position with our hands cuffed behind our back. >> i assume, given the fact where you were, the fact they did have guns pointed at you, you took them p

i was hurt and arrested in mohammed mahmoud street which is just off tahrir square.ds into the square. i'm perfectly fine in the square. my only concern today was to stay away from the middle of the throng because of my cast, because it was so many people today. they were really packed in. so i stayed on the edges of the square. that's where i talked to a lot of people. that's where i stopped and took photographs with them, some of then wanted to take pictures of me. then i would ask well then in return would you sign my cast? i felt perfectly fine as long as i wasn't in the middle of it because i was just worried about the crowds and my cast. >> so egypt's interior ministry did respond after hearing your story, being told on many different occasions yesterday, different networks. they are now saying that what happened to you was an isolated incident, it must have been an isolated incident and they also said that the riot police wouldn't treat women the way in which you described you were treated. what's your response to them? >> that is absolutely laughable. it is o
