Anchor Marco Werman talks with journalist Magdi Abdelhadi in Cairo about ongoing violence in Egypt.
The unrest was sparked off Wednesday night when a brawl after a soccer match in Port Said left 74 people dead.
Violence has spread to Cairo and other cities, where protesters have clashed with police and hundreds have been wounded.
Two deaths were reported in Suez on Thursday.
The crisis has turned political, with protesters blaming the military and the police for failing to protect fans at the soccer match.
