His backers are in deadly clashes with opponents. Alex marquardt has the latest from cairo. Hi alex. Reporter its the worst violence weve seen between supporters and opponents of mohamed morsi. Many fear its a sign of much more bloodshed to come in this deeply divided egypt. Egyptian fighting egyptian. A bridge in downtown cairo became the front in this deadly battle on friday night. Opponents and supporters of egypts ousted president , firing guns and fireworks, throwing rocks and molotov cocktails. After several hours of violence, the army finally stepped in and dispursed the crowds. Violence raged beyond the capital, as well. Here, the army opened fire on supporters of deposed president , mohamed morsi, as they prayed. Across egypt, at least 30 people were killed and 200 wounded. The target of this fury, egypts military, which on wednesday, removed the countrys first democraticallyelected president to place him under arrest. Protests supporting morsi drew tens of thousands of islamist supporters into the streets after friday prayers. I do vote. And where . Where is . Reporter these speakers are calling for an uprising, telling these supporters of morsi to take to the streets across egypt, until morsi is back in power. There was a tense standoff at the military compound, where morsi supporters believe he is being held. Then, soldiers fired. Three were killed. Has been tossed back into the political scene. The people are able to push it back where it belongs. Reporter the military is holding firm in this. Sweeps of aircraft buzzing in the skies above. So are the opponents of morsi, who called for mass rallies tomorrow here in tahrir and elsewhere. Little signs in that any of the sides are looking for compromise. Bianna .

The nsa leaker is on the run. And were just hearing this morning he may now be able to leave moscow and find asylum in venezuela or nicaragua. But the he make it to either country without avoiding u. S. Extradition . Kirit radia is following the developments for us from moscow. Reporter good morning. Edward snowden has been stuck here in moscow for nearly two weeks. But now, venezuela and other countries are preparing to throw him a lifeline. The question is, can he get there . On friday night, venezuelans president offered him political asylum. That after the president s of nicaragua and bolivia suggested they were ready to do the same thing. The problem for snowden is he doesnt have safe routes to travel. He has to go to the other side of the country and most of the countries are those with extradition treaties to the United States. Theres a direct flight to cuba five times a week. The other option is on a private plane, the ones that could make it there without refueling cost over 200,000. So, not out of the question for a rich supporter who wants to help. And then, theres the question of air space. Will the United States and other countries allow a plane carrying snowden to travel over their territory . As for when snowden can travel, less than an hour ago, a plane left for cuba and he wasnt onboard. He may be waiting for travel documents to arrive. Until then, he and we will be here waiting. Thanks very much. Now, to the George Zimmerman murder trial. On friday, the prosecution wrapped up its case. The defense asked for the charges to be dismissed. And the victims and the defendants mothers presented emotional testimony. Matt gutman has the latest from our miami bureau. Reporter good morning, dan. Thats right. Both sides trying to use a lot of emotion here. Thats because the central question in this trial on facing the jury is, what were George Zimmermans intentions that might. The prosecution spent nine days trying to prove that zimmerman shot marted because he wanted to. Expect the defense to try to prove he shot him because he had to. This morning, George Zimmermans case is finally in his attorneys hands. And the first witness the defense called friday, his mother, gladys. At questions, the howls in this 911 call. Do you think hes yelling help . Yes. Who was that . My son, george. Reporter moments later, rare emotion from zimmerman, who claimed selfdefense as his uncle also defendanted him. It was another mothers testimony that captivated the court on friday. Sabrina fulton, also asked about the 911 calls. Who do you recognize that to be . Trayvon benjamin martin. Reporter the grieving mothers testimony capping the prosecutions nine days of sometimes jarring testimony. These [ bleep ]. They always get away. Reporter during which some of its own eyewitnesses seemed to weaken its case, including the eyewitness who saw martin of top of zimmerman that night. He was the one who was raining blows down on George Zimmerman, right . Thats what it looked like. Reporter perhaps no witness testimony more bizarre than that of the medical examiner. I dont understand your question. Nobody knows excuse me. Reporter and saying he changed his opinion on earlier statements he made. No sooner did the prosecution rest its case, the defense moved to throw it out. What is before the court is an enormous amount of information that my client acted in necessary selfdefense. Reporter the prosecution ready with this quick rebuttal. There are two people involved here. One of thems dead and one of thems a liar. Reporter the jury is not expected to hear George Zimmerman tell his side of the story. His attorney tells me, very unlikely he will put him on the stand. That means the defense could wrap its case by wednesday. The jury could begin deliberations by friday. Some want to know if zimmerman will take the stand. Thanks, matt to you. Were lucky to have you here, dan. Youve been following this case. And you told me this morning you think the prosecutions case is in trouble. They presented all of their evidence. And i do not see how a jury, as a legal matter, convicts of either seconddegree murder or manslaughter. Now, that did not mean that George Zimmerman was justified. It doesnt mean that George Zimmerman was right. It means that when the prosecution has the burden to prove this case beyond a reasonable doubt, meaning they have the responsibility to disprove selfdefense beyond a reasonable doubt. It is hard to imagine that of all the witnesses weve seen, that there is not reasonable doubt as to that up to this point. This is just the prosecutions case. And even amongst those prosecution witnesses, we have seen testimony which its hard to imagine would not be perceived as reasonable doubt in the minds of the jury. But you cant predict juries. So, who knows . Thats right. Were going to hear from the defense, as matt said. This could wrap by wednesday or thursday. Yeah. Guess who is back in the house with us, finally. You. Oh, okay.
