>> reporter: well, what we've seen, in fact, is that mohammed mosi, the presidential candidate runningn behalf of the muz lyme brotherhood promised if he becomes president he will basically call for another trial. a retrial, and certainly he seems to be trying to capitalize on all of this anger. he's promised this evening to come to tahrir square to try to rally support. he didn't say it, but obviously, for his candidacy. so, really, the egyptian population is split. it's hard to say along what lines, or rather percentage, but on the one hand, you have supporters of shafiq, the former, the last prime minister of hosni mubarak, who is sort of the candidate for stability, for calm, for a restoration of order and mohammed mosi, of the muslim brotherhood, trying to capitalize on this unhappiness and become the candidate of the revolution. we'll have to wait until the 16th and the 17th of june for the second round of these presidential elections to figure out who actually has more support. fredricka? >> ben wedeman, thanks so much, in cairo. >>> last hour i talked with georgetown university

the muslim brotherhood candidate in egypt's presidential election mohammed mosi valid if he's elected he'd retrials to mubarak along with several of his loyal officials some i found a revolution activist in cairo says the brotherhood actively trying to use the mubarak's trial to its advantage now in the upcoming presidential runoff people took the street for different reasons then you have to acknowledge that some revolutionary forces the ministry because they think this is is the rebuilding itself again. mubarak is about to be acquitted if the court ruling gets contested before the appellate court and this is this is expected by the way and others particularly muslim brotherhood wanted to portray their candidates in the presidential elections for the second round. as a candidate of the egyptian revolution again this is the old regime again is more barak and there guinness also is a state establishment candidate in this race there's a muslim brotherhood this is trying to capitalize on what's going on for the sake of the presidential election. time's running out for julian assange says
