joins us now with the latest from tel and the of paula judging by what's emerged from peace talks in cairo so far is israel sending troops into gaza a far cry. well egyptian mediators are hardly trying to put together the general terms for a cease fire the idea is that both sides if they agree to a truce in theory then the specific details can be hammered out later why israel has said that if no ceasefire agreement is reached within the next twenty four hours it will go ahead with a ground offensive at a meeting late on monday night the israeli government decided to give cairo more time to try and reach a cease fire agreement and that is worth while today today tuesday they will be mediation talks happening in cairo those talks are expected to be decisive and what we're hearing from senior egyptian officials is that they're not fall from a breakthrough although they are urging the israeli side to show more flexibility at the same time however there are tens of thousands of israeli soldiers who are deployed throughout the make of desert they are both regular army soldiers as well as reservi

for more now, let's go to on the line from cairo. the message of solidarity from morsi is a strong one. his muslim brotherhood does have ties to hamas, but he is under international pressure to try and establish a truce. >> he is under immense pressure by public opinion in egypt. this is also the reason why is prime minister went to gaza today, also with a similar message. basically, we cannot be silent in this tragedy. we have to stop what they're calling the israeli aggression. of the same time, he offered a truce. you can see that there's a difference between four years ago and now the arab states are really interfering. they're finding themselves in the gaza strip and we have a meeting tomorrow about the same topic. the message is clear they're trying to pressure of rule out euro and say this time you cannot just look the other direction. this is done about your relationship with hamas and the gaza but your relationship in the new arab world. >> coming down firmly on the side of the palestinians there. what about relations with i

jim maceda joins me from cairo. he is on the phone, i understap. jim, let's start with the reasons that morsi has given for these new powers. >> hi craig. well morsi spoke, he came out of his presidential palace a few hours ago to address his thousands of supporters at that point, gathered around and that's what he told them. he said that he had to take this extreme step because there were opponents of the revolution namely and specifically the prosecutor general, he would be likely the supreme court like our supreme court chief justice and several other judges that they were interfering in this what has become a tedious, difficult, paralyzed process of writing egypt's new constitution. he called them quote weebles eating away at egypt's nation saying that egypt really does risk losing this moment in its history unless that process speeds up. he has decreed that there will be a vote that -- in two months time there will be an election, i should say, the parliamentary election. a vote on the new constitution. the problem is that those writing the co

ahead with a ground offensive at a meeting late on monday night the israeli government decided to give cairo more time to try and reach a ceasefire agreement and that is worthwhile for day to day tuesday they will be mediation talks happening in cairo those talks are expected to be decisive at the same time however there are tens of thousands of israeli soldiers who are deployed throughout the make of theirs and they are both regular army soldiers as well as reservists who've been called out so the situation on the ground certainly is tense the u.n. secretary general ban ki moon will today be meeting with the israeli prime minister netanyahu and the palestinian president mahmoud abbas he has said that any kind of israeli ground offensive well merely the situation most israelis by and large are in support of a ground operation in gaza having said that though there are statements that have been coming out from the israeli army that says that at least a third of the militants in gaza is short range missiles have been destroyed and that they have managed to destroy all the range rockets now this

clarissa ward is in cairo with more. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. happy thanksgiving. >> good to have you on this morning. egypt playing a key role in making this truce happen. what does this mean for the region as we look ahead? >> reporter: absolutely. you heard secretary clinton calling egypt a cornerstone of stability in this region, praising the government for its actions, for its calm throughout the last eight days. i think there had been some speculation or concern in the west as to how exactly egypt's new islamist government would react to this type of situation. they have to walk a very fine line politically between appeasing their muslim brotherhood but making sure nothing jeopardizes that peace treaty between israel and egypt which has been in effect for 32 years. everyone is in agreement that egypt did a good job of balancing those different concerns and as a result egypt has emerged through this as a key player in the region. >> let's talk about this cease-fire. history tells us that these don't often last very long. what could be at is

and the protests in cairo, the white house refuses to condemn the egyptian president's dictator-like grab. all of that, and a "hannity" shootout with juan williams and more. "hannity" starts right now. tonight as the fiscal cliff drama unfolds on capitol hill, we'll take a step back and look at how we got to this point. namely, how do we become a nation buried under more than $16 trillion debt, why crippling defense cuts, and the largest tax increase will take hold in 35 days because your elected officials don't know how to stop spending money. let me first play a small part of one of the most memorable inaugural addresses of all time. >> my fellow americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. >> sean: sadly five decades removed from that iconic speech, the democratic party, its leaders, and countless other americans, rely on government for too many things. instead of asking what they can do for their country, they're asking what their country can do for them. now the debt record is at record levels, tax rates are soaring, because nowadays

it's quiet now in cairo. it's just after 2:00 a.m., but it definitely was not quiet earlier in the day. listen. tear gas filled the air and crowds of protesters scattered when riot police tried to break up the protests in cairo. we have reports of demonstrators trying to break into the offices of the president's party, the muslim brotherhood. and at least one person reportedly died today in the street violence, a teenager. cnn's reza sayah spent much of the day right in the middle of the chaos in cairo. >> we keep seeing these clashes between protesters and police, protesters throwing rocks at police. police responding by firing tear gas and stun grenades. we're just a few blocks away from tahrir square. we should point out most of these protesters are young men, 20-something, teenagers, hard to say if they're here fighting for democracy or here to cause some trouble. those were chants of down with president morsi, down with president morsi. we're now starting to see these protests and clashes take place in c

police used terd gas in cairo yesterday. more than 500 have been injured and egypt's judicial branch is joining with the opposition in protest. both sides have announced plans for major protests in cairo on tuesday. cbs news correspondent holly williams is in cairo this morning. holly, what can you tell synonymous. >> reporter: well, bob, what we're seeing here today in central cairo is violent clashes. they're fighting running street battles in the area around tahrir square, so the protesters throw stones and sometimes hurl obcents at the police. they push their way down the street and after a while the police fire back with tear gas canisters or drive an armored car down the street, and the street is then cleared. the numbers are actually fairly small. i would say there are between 1,000 and 2,000 protesters, and only some of them are violent. as you said, both sides are planning big protests on tuesday, and given what we're seeing, i don't think it would be surprising if we see violent clash betweens the two sides. but yo

overnight anti-government protesters clashed with police in cairo's tahrir square. they plan to press ahead with the demonstration today, demanding that morsi relent on his seizure of near absolute authority. he said the edict was temporary and only granted him limited authority. holly williams is in cairo. do we have any indication of what the president there is going to do? is he going to back down? >> good morning. well, president mohamed morsi is clearly trying to persuade people that he doesn't want to be a dictator. he met with a group of senior egyptian judges and he told them that his new immunity of the courts would only apply to sovereign matters. the problem with that is we don't know exactly what it means and it certainly won't be enough to satisfy his opponents. in fact, one of those judges described it as a frail statement. for president morsi's critics, they are still extremely angry about the series of decrees that he issued on thursday that give him greatly expanded power. >> meanwhile, protests continue where you are in tahrir square. what are we g
