our senior international correspondent ben wedeman is in cairo right now. ben, why the fighting now in the streets and why are these crowds massing in tahrir square again? >> what you see really, ted, this is a manifestation of the growing frustration and anger against the supreme council for the armed forces. that's the group that took over from hosni mubarak when he resigned on the 11th of february. the feeling is that they're not moving quickly enough to civilian rule, that they may harbor ambitions to hold on to power for the foreseeable future. another element is that these clashes began yesterday, when the police were trying to clear a fairly small number of people out of tahrir square, but they used fairly excessive force yesterday. one man was killed in cairo, more than a thousand wounded. this is really -- sparked more outrage because, of course, egyptians overthrew hosni mubarak's regime because they felt that the police had too much power, was too brutal, arbitrarily tortured and detained people. this is really a reaction to that. they don't want
