morsi and also general shafik.nterestingly, hala, if you look at both of those statements and what they said, what he said to both of them, they're similar in a way. congratulations, of course, to morsi, but saying that the u.s. will continue to support egypt's transition to democracy and stand by the egyptian people. and then to general shafik, encouraging him to continue to play a role in egyptian politics by supporting the drasticdrasti -- democratic process and working to unify the egyptian people. in both cases what they're doing is going over the individuals to the principal, which is a continuation of moving along towards democracy and a big call-out to help the egyptian people unite. that's one of the key issues right now. >> jill dougherty, our world affairs correspondent, live in washington. thanks very much, jill. we'll catch up with jill a little bit later for more reaction from the united states. as jill reported, the u.s. has been keeping a keen eye on the election in egypt. steven cook is a fellow fr

you talk about the military and shafik and morissey.clusion that the military is the winner no matter what because if shafik comes back to win, he will be part of the military junt a&m orissey would be sort of shackled by the military junta. >> on sunday evening, before the polls had closed the supreme council of the armed forces issued, itself, broad veto powers and basically neutered the position of the president. they gave themselves legislative power until june 30th is what they are claiming. so again, there are all of these jokes that they basically at the last minute took what looked like an elegant coup and made it just plain in your face. here we are. we are in power and a lot of people are saying only in egypt could you have two candidates, morissey and shafik but the actual winner is general timpowee. >> if they reverse it and all of the sudden they say shafik won, first of all, it is a terribly botched fixing of an election. they couldn't have done a worse job with it. we see the people today in tahirir tahirir square late in

nuclear watchdog says we're in for a lot of instability if shafik wins and major uprising. you see people parade iing with their flags in anticipation. people are taking the risk of violent thrill but emphasizing they don't in tend to start any violence, that they've renounced violence. they are already saying they know that they've won. that's in stark contrast to shafik's camp, already claiming him as president on paper. >> given ahmed shafik was from mubarak's region, is this really the change the people of egypt had hoped for? >> reporter: well, no, because ahmed shafik is widely seen as really nothing more than a part of hosni mubarak, head of the air force. they are deeply concerned about the possible victory of the muslim brotherhood. let's talk to someone who speaks a little english. you're a doctor. what do you think will happen today? >> i think the muslims will win. >> reporter: if they do not win, what is the reaction here? >> we plan to stay in tahrir squa square. >> reporter: do you worry this could turn violent? >> no. >> reporter: you're sure? >> yes. i'm su

that's in starkntrast to shafik's camp, already claiming him as president on paper. >> given ahmed shafik was from murak's region, i this really the change the people of egypt had hoped for? >> reporter: well, no, because ahmed shafik is widely seen as really nothing more than a part of hosni mubarak, head of the air force. they are deeply concerned about the possible victory of the muslim brotherhood. let's talk to someone who speaks a little english. you'rea doctor. what do you think will happen today? >> i think the muslims will win. >> reporter: if they do not win, what is the reaction here? >> we plan to stay in tahrir squa square. >> reporter: do you worry this could turn violent? >> no. >> reporter: you're sure? >> yes. i'm sure. >> reporter: this has been the scene of such bloody confrontation before. how can you be sure it will not be repeated? if thermy try to move in and move you, what will happen? >> we'll stand. -- audio technicality -- >> reporter: thank you very much. you can see that they do have emergency powers as of a few days ago to arrest people. parliament has been d

. >> ahmed shafik and mohammed morsi have been celebrating victory. how does this affect political prospects in egypt? >> it remains to be seen. the president, if he wants to run the state apparatus, he needs to get that he vote from the military. >> our correspondent in cairo their. thank you for bringing us up to date on that. we will have more news and sports for you after the break, but to bring you up-to-date on some of the results of affirmative action from euro 2012, we have of italy, spain, croatia, and ireland playing. >> and the big summit in los cabos, mexico. we will have a roundup of what they said it on the first day after the break. >> welcome back. the outcome of the greek election has been well received at the g-20 met in mexico. there were hopes the crisis in europe could be contained. >> but others noted the crisis in europe is far from over. the problem facing spain, italy, and other countries could darken the economic future of people on both sides of the autistic. >> everyday life in los cabos goes on, despite the presence of so

>> i think ahmed shafik is also right now trying to pitch to different constituencies. we have seen him attack the brotherhood very enthusiastically over the last few days. we have seen him try to distance himself from hosni mubarak early on, but also his main pitch has been the language of stability -- i will bring back the kind of security you enjoy. i will bring back the economic progress we had before. and people are voting for him because of that. he has been strongly campaigning also against the muslim brotherhood and played in fear mongering about the brotherhood, and over the last few days, also pitched himself to the more secular and liberal constituencies in egypt, talking about the position of women and tried to present himself in that light. i think the reason some revolutionary activists were hearing calls for boycotts -- an impossible to tell how significant that could be -- is because ahmed shafik is still unacceptable because of who he is. he was prime minister when armed thugs on horses and camels went into the square and the protesters. he was prime mi

choice in choosing between shafik and morsi. my choice is morsi. >> reporter: in tahrir itself, the grass has died. the young liberals who led the revolution have left their manifestos, but it's a rather tacky tourist spot now, with street hawkers fiercely protecting their turf. shahira amin read the news on state television till she resigned to join the uprising last year. now, she's so disillusioned that she's boycotting the presidential vote. >> i'm very disappointed. very letdown. and i-- you know, we had the revolution to have a secular, civil, democratic state. and then to end up with, you know, a mubarak crony and islamist, none of the goals of the revolution have been fulfilled. and it's a struggle. >> pain you were expecting too much. >> we were expecting too much too quickly, yes. you know mubarak fell in just 18 days. and so expectations were high. >> reporter: yet in the bazaars of old cairo, the divisions are steep. some say a strong man like air marshall shafik will bring back tourists and investment. others believ

the muzz lum brotherhood has vowed to wage a new revolution if shafik is declared the winner. >> even though you have lots of activists threatening to go to the square, et cetera, it's nothing like what happened with mubarak. then it was in the millions. when the muslim brotherhood makes statements if shafik is elected we're not going to accept that. >> they are far from taking to the streets and take over power. >> reporter: you can sense the excitement building in the square tonight, but, norathe fight for the presidency is just the beginning. the muslim brotherhood had a majority in parliament, were getting ready to write the constitution until nine days ago. that's when the supreme court dissolved the parliament and the generals ruled they would decide who writes the new constitution. >> coming up next on tonight's cbs evening news, tropical storm >> coming up next on tonight's cbs evening news, tropical storm storm debby forms in the gulf of mexico. but not since i learned i have... postmenopausal osteoporosis and a high risk for fracture. i want to keep acting but a broken bone

if we're seen as supporting mubarak too much or shafik too much, that will lead to a backlash. we have to lay low. >> thanks very much to both of you. for everyone out there, it's the -- shafik, the guy who's run, the military guy, it was under him, that textbook being about treason being attributes of jewish people. and the brotherhood guy is the one saying banish the sleep from the eyes the jews. hard to see who's the good guy. >>> still ahead "outfront," the president has a big meet ing with supporters tonight. why is he shy about it? >>> a disturbing report from greece about what is being done with children there. >>> and you probably missed it even if you are a fan of "the game of thrones." we can almost assure you missed it. a hidden joke that has the producers in serious trouble. [ male announcer ] this is genco services -- mcallen, texas. in here, heavy rental equipment in the middle of nowhere, is always headed somewhere. to give it a sense of direction, at&t created a mobile asset solution to protect and track everything. so every piece of equipment knows where it is,

but if shafik is named the president, then it is kind of like the coup is complete. brotherhood do? at that point do you see kind of real civil unrest or violence or what are people planning for? >> well, if you take the muslim brotherhood for their word, very open and very public in saying there will no violence, absolutely not call for any violence or demonstrations against the results, if, indeed, shafik wins. people are very cynical so there is a great sense of mistrust. because of the fact that you indicated backdoor politicking taking place. we heard that they have been meeting with the staff and there is some indication that the muslim brotherhood is entering into a power sharing agreement with the council and that, in itself, has ang aered groups that don't want to see the groups come at transition to democracy. there is always the opportunity of those who are cynical here, including brotherhood supporters that the military supporters may not trust and they have reneged on deals in the past and they feel their best interest is to try to shape the election res

hosni mubarak's tenure has won election as egypt's president and faced former prime minister ahmed shafik and there are questions about the military because many see them as grabbing power and dis solving the parliament. he's 60 and was educated at an engineer in the u.s. and leland vittert standing by in tahrir square with the latest. , the reaction there that he has won? >> reporter: clearly, eric, the reaction from crowd behind me, in tahrir square, the last time we heard this kind of roar was the night hosni mubarak resigned from power, 16 months ago, the crowd here is going wild. behind me, mostly this is made up of the muslim brotherhood group. and, the salafists, harder-line version of muslim brotherhood, that have been camping now in the square for about three or four days, here, awaiting these election results. and we're now about a week away from when the election and the ballot box closed, now mohamed morsi, declared the president-elect of egypt. he is in his 60s, u.s.-educated and you can still hear the roar coming up from the crowd and the muslim brotherhood promised they wou

they have a choice between ahmed shafik or mohamed morsi, the candidate from the muslim brotherhood, and the people who pulled off this election didn't want either to do with the trends. >> and christian -- >> well, go ahead, candy. go ahead. >> well, i wanted to ask you, because the military has been in charge, and i wonder on the streets how much trust there is in the military when this announcement is made as to who won this election, won't we have one side not believing what the result was? >> well, listen, this is is the fear of everybody, and it is a blistering hot and blustery day today and to be frank, it s a l, because you have heated words and rhetoric coming out of tahrir square. it is about the military, and they are going to have an extended sit-in regardless of the winner, because the military has in effect hijacked the democracy transitioned here into egypt. if you take the fact they dissolved the parliament by most accounts including the u.s. and here in egypt was a pretty free and fair election and it did in fact go heavily towards the islamists and both the muslim b

mostly iran against shafik a former prime minister and air force commander. local media says morsi is ahead. muslim brotherhood leaders say they base their claim of victory on their own count. morsi says he's ready to serve all egyptians. >> members of shafik's says it's absurd to believe the opponent. they plan to announce the official results on thursday. meanwhile, the council of the country's armed forces issued new amendments to the country's interim constitution on monday. they stipulate that parliament's power to draw up legislation and approve projects will be transferred to the army temporarily. they also say a committee to draft a new constitution will be organized by the army. the amendments forbid the president from interfering with the military's budget or personnel affairs. the interim military administration says it will transfer power to a civilian administration this month. the move to strengthen the military's authority have angered the egyptians and muslim brotherhood. a large rally to protest the amtd has been called for tuesday. nhk world

across town, superviso supportef shafik appeared to be in a state of shock to hear the news that their candidate's defeat. the accused egypt generals of lacking the courage to stand up to the muslim brotherhood. morsi's reporters, the celebration picked up when the, when the sun went down. there is no doubt these celebrations will go on all night, but tomorrow the square goes back to being a protest camp when the muslim brotherhood resumes its campaign to get egypt's parliament back in session and try to restore some presidential powers. jeff. >> glor: charlie d'agata, thank you. we are joined by robert baer a former cia case officer with 21 years experience in the middle east. bob, the power struggle that is now taking place between the muslim brotherhood and the generals, how do you see that playing out? >> jeff, i think we are just seeing the beginning of this. yes, the muslim brotherhood has taken the presidency, the military so far has deferred, but the power struggle is by no means over. as the president starts to exert power i think there is going to be a military pushback, the

and it is not going to be very helpful to be working with ahmed shafik, because of credibility. regardless of whose name goes up, does either man have the ability to lead the country, and i would say that the answer is no. >> what are the implications for the u.s. policy in the middle east? >>> it is very complex, because to egypt, it is incredible, and fulcrum of being an influential country in that par o the world, and if it devolves into chaos, it is a very, very see veer repercussions for the united states and a dilemma, too, because morsi is a fun dat allist, and if he wins, it is a problem. and if shafiq win, it undermines the impression that this was an honest election even though, you know, who knows who actually won. so, that is -- either way for the united states, it raises questions. and it raises questions about the money, the funding that the united states gives to the military. >> right. more than $1 billion a year that we have sent to the egyptian military who have grabbed power and been in a huge power grab since the arab spring. >> they have, and what they have

stay strong and not move towards the directions that would risk our future. >> eric: and if ahmed shafik, more in israel's interest, what type of changes if any do you expect if he wins today? >> well in that event i think we're looking at a very long period of instability. because i think the overwhelming majority of egyptians that voted for a majority in the parliament, for radical islam, roughly 75%, either voted for muslim brotherhood or for the salafists that make the muslim brotherhood look moderate, are not going to be happy. so one way or another, we are looking at a radical islamic regime in egypt or a very prolonged timeframe of instability. >> eric: either way it doesn't look bright, sadly for the future, talking boy a radical--a radical islamic regime, do you think iran can be stopped from building a nuclear weapon? >> well, first of all, our goal is to really get russia to step up to the plate, join the sanctions, upcoming sanctions on the central bank, and, on exports. hopefully, if they do that, that will be able to, some extend, slow down iran. now, the situation is very

shafik supporters also have come out to commiserate. there's no sign of that.unbridled triumph and jubilation. >>> that now is a live shot of tahrir square. we earlier heard from our correspondent dan rivers now the the very happy streets of cairo where muslim brotherhood supporters are celebrating the election of their candidate mohamed morsi as the country's next president. our international correspondent dan rivers joins us from cairo. dan, tell us what you can about the atmosphere. >> reporter: pictures speak a thousand words. sir, you're here, you speak english. how do you feel? >> we are all very happy because all people want is to remove this regime. this regime isn't here. we are happy because lots of people been at that place and we are very happy [ inaudible ]. reporter: to show you where we are, we're actually on a bridge in the middle of the river nile here. you can seeit hopefully, blocked with traffic. kids, parents. i'm difficult to walk along so i don't know how my cameraman is doing. this gives you a pretty good indication of what it's like. >>

officials said mohammed morsi beat his rival, former military general ahmed shafik, with only 51% of the vote. the crowd in tahrir square see this victory as justice for fellow egyptians who lost their lives fighting for freedom in this very square. 16 months ago, the square became a frontline in the revolution to overthrow president hosni mubarek and the scene of deadly clashes between pro-democracy demonstrators and forces loyal to the regime. more than 900 people were killed. in his victory speech, mohammed morsi said their deaths would not be in vain. the u.s.-trained engineer said that he would be a president for all egyptians. across town, supporters of ahmed shafik appeared to be in a state of shock to hear the news that their candidate's defeat. they accused egypt's generals of lacking the courage to stand up to the muslim brotherhood. for morsi's supporters, the celebration picked up when the sun went down. there is no doubt these celebrations will go on all night, but tomorrow tahrir square goes back to being a protest camp when the muslim brotherhood resumes its campaign t

his last name is shafik.you're wondering how this is playing with the public, tomorrow's runoff election between shafik and the muslim brotherhood's candidate is going to bring a president to power without a constitution or a regulative body with a far cry from the goals of the so-called arab spring. let's bring in senior international correspondent ben wedeman. and "the new york times" david kirkpatrick. both in cairo. ben, the fact that parliament has been dissolved what exactly does that mean? >> really what it mean, it's quite a body blow to the muslim brotherhood, which had almost 50% of the seats. the brotherhood saw parliament as its stronghold and was looking forward to possibly getting the presidency as well. now it's lost that. it's got no guarantee it's going to lose the presidency. in addition to that, the supreme council of the armed forces said they will pick the constituent assembly that will write up the constitution. that was a body that twice the parliament tried to form but failed to reach

election officials said mohammed morsi beat his rival former military general ahmed shafik with only 51.7% of the vote. it was the news crowds were waiting to hear and people here see this victory as justice for fellow egyptians who lost their life fighting for freedom on this very square. 16 months ago, tahrir square became the front line in the revolution to overthrow president hosni mubarak. in a scene of deadly clashes it pro-democracy demonstrators and forces loyal to the regime, more than 900 people were killed. in his victory speech, mohammed morsi said their deaths would not be in vain. he said he would be a president for all egyptians. across town supporters of ahmed shafik appeared to be in a state of shock to hear the news of their candidate's defeat. the accused egypt's generals of lacking courage to stand up to the muslim brotherhood. for morsi's supporters, there were morsel bases. there's no -- more celebrations. there's no doubt celebration will go on for some time. they will try to restore some presidential power. cbs news, kiro. >>> it is 6:14 on this monday morning

shafik supporters, you can see these images here. shocked to learn of their candidate's narrow loss. listen to this. >> all we wanted was to develop our country to occupy the position it deserves. so again, we're hoping for that. hopefully he'll develop egypt. hopefully he'll be fair and be the president of all egyptian, not only the muslim brotherhood group. >> and in the uncertainty proceeding the electoral commissions announcement, both candidates, you'll remember, had claimed victory at one point. shafik has reportedly sent a message to morsi congratulating him on his victory. no public concession speech, if you will. these reports he has at least perhaps more privately congratulated his rival. >>> well, people around the world are weighing in on the election results. it matters a lot to the region, to israel, to the united states, to europe. we'll show you what they are all saying next. there's celebration today, bhau does the future hold for egypt? what about the military? are they grabbing on to power with the intention of hol

dan rivers is joining us from cairo by phone, and he is headed to the headquarters of ahmed shafik who is the former prime minister who now hopes to be president. dan, tell us what is the feeling on the streets with just an hour to go before the expected announcement? >> well, we have been in tahrir square where there is great anticipation of the announcement. they all believe they have proof that mohamed morsi has won for the islam brotherhood, and they have just switched where their celebration party is, or what they hope it will be from the head quarters to the outskirts of cairo, where they say they have so many people coming that they cannot accommodate them at the party headquarters, but really, neither side knows for sure who is going to win. in fact, the country is really being building that if ahmed shafik is deeply aligned with hosni mubarak the ousted leader, and he was prime minister under mubarak at one time, and he is kind of anti-muslim government, and keep preserving the status quo. and mohamed morsi, the leader of the muslim brotherhood, kind of what was a pretty kind
