four of those killed were also at the republican guard, morsi, when troops opened fire when the supportersgot to close. morsi supporters marched on friday to different parts of anti-morsis where supporters, especially near tahrir square, are heavily based. this led to clashes and a lot of anti-morsiters -- protesters were killed. there was a very angry funeral the other day after four men from the neighborhood were killed there when morsi supporters marched through there, they were killed with live ammunition. really, this is an escalating situation. and one that is dissenting into a spiral of violence and richard duchenne. yesterday we saw massive rallies both in tahrir square and the presidential palace who were supporting the ouster of mohamed morsi, but also [indiscernible] supporting the ousted president. the coming days will be very telling. it was a very bloody, bloody day , bloody morning in cairo today. >> we got word this week and albert day was named as the new prime minister or the interim prime minister, but then with the opposition, that was changed. and you talk about the si
