Dispute between gov't forces and protesters – Reza Sayah reports
The chaos is ongoing this morning in Egypt, where both sides continue to argue over who was responsible for Monday's deadly shooting outside the Republican Guard headquarters.
More than 50 are now dead, and hundreds injured.
The question at large: Did the military open fire without warning? Or was it stopping a terror attack?
The interim president is launching an investigation, at the same time also outlining a timetable for new elections.

NTSB interviewing 4 pilots from Asiana Airlines jet – Miguel Marquez reports
Asiana Airlines Flight 214 was flying far slower than recommended as it approached San Francisco International Airport just before its crash landing on Saturday, the head of the National Transportation Safety Board said Monday.
The Boeing 777 was traveling at approximately 106 knots (122 mph) upon impact and at about 118 knots (136 mph) 16 seconds before impact at an altitude of about 200 feet; the recommended speed upon approach to the runway threshold is 137 knots (157 mph), Deborah Hersman told reporters.
The onboard systems warned the crew the plane was about to stall four seconds before the crash, she said.
That warning comes in the form of a "stick-shaker," said Arthur Rosenberg, a pilot, engineer and partner with the New York-based law firm Soberman & Rosenberg, which specializes in litigation stemming from plane crashes. "It's basically saying, 'Hey idiot, wake up and do something ... Now!"

More celebs branding their own wines – Nischelle Turner reports
Celebrities have long branded scents, clothing lines, even BBQ sauces. But here's a trend that might leave you thirsty for more.
There's big money to be made in the wine business these days, and Nischelle Turner says some big names are getting in on the action.
“From Brad and Angelina to Sting and Drew Barrymore, more and more celebs are pouring their star power into wines,” Turner says.
"Let's face it, some of them are in it for the money,” says Wine Spectator Magazine Executive Editor Tom Matthews. “But I think the serious ones really love the product."
Wine Spectator Magazine's expert taster James Molesworth shared his critique, starting with Brangelina's Rose.
“We thought the quality was there, the flavors are beautiful, it's fresh, it's delicious,” Molesworth says. “It's an excellent wine.”
But another taster was not so fond.
"It didn't have much of a nose for me and just was not real flavorful," one says about Rose.
For most, celebrities star power isn't necessarily a recipe for good wine.
A taster puts it this way: “Maybe the celebrities should taste the wine before they put their name on the label."
Missing child Madeleine McCann still alive?
CNN is reporting a stunning development in the case of missing child that drew worldwide attention in 2007.
Madeleine McCann was 3 years old when she disappeared while on vacation with her family in Portugal, 6 years ago.
Her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann have since campaigned tirelessly to keep her in the public's memory, while raising Madeleine's two siblings.
Now British police say they have new leads and they believe Madeleine may be alive.
Atika Shubert is following the story.
British police are reopening the investigation, called Operation Grange. “They want to question 38 people across Europe, including 12 British nationals who they believe were in Portugal at the time,” Shubert reports.
"There is no clear definitive proof that Madeleine McCann is dead,” says DCI Andy Redwood of the Metropolitan Police. “So, on that basis, I still genuinely believe that there is a possibility that she’s alive."
Trayvon Martin's mother to take stand in Zimmerman trial
It could be one of the most emotional and important days yet at the George Zimmerman trial today.
Trayvon Martin’s mother is expected to take the stand and discuss a critical piece of evidence: Screams heard on the 911 audio tape.
Considered the cornerstone of the prosecution's case from the beginning, the tape is said to be evidence of who was the aggressor the night Martin was shot and killed.
The prosecution is expected to wrap up its case after that powerful testimony from Sybrina Fulton.
George Howell has more on the case.
“Both parents were seen crying during testimony, Martin’s mother here with her eyes closed, and looking away as the jurors were shown graphic pictures of her son's lifeless body,” Howell reports.
“The main focus of Fulton's testimony will no doubt be her account of whose faint cries for help she believes are on that tape.”
