sandusky's wife defended her husband. she told jurors she never saw him engage in any inappropriate contact with children. armen keteyian has our report. >> reporter: speaking in a soft, sometimes nervous voice, dorothy "dottie" sandusky testified she never saw a single sign of sexual abuse of young boys by her husband of 45 years. time and time again defense attorney joe amendola repeated the same questions. did you ever see any inappropriate conduct? each and every time, dottie sandusky simply answered, no. at one point during her 45 minutes on the witness stand, dottie sandusky said over about a 20-year period her husband would routinely go downstairs to tell young boys who had spent the night good night before bed. but nothing more. did you ever hear a young man yell for help, asked amendola, referring to one alleged victim's story of abuse? no, she answered. during cross-examination, lead prosecutor joseph mcgettigan put up eight pictures of the alleged victims on the screen. just as he had done during his opening argument. he then asked what reason would any of those people lie about anything? taking a long pause, dottie sandusky said, i don't know what it would be. armen keteyian, cbs news, new york. overseas now this morning former egyptian president hosni mubarak is reportedly on life support, after his heart stopped and suffered a stroke. it was initially reported that mubarak was clinically dead. conflicting reports of mubarak health come amid growing political turmoil in egypt. both candidates in sunday's presidential election say they won. official results are expected tomorrow. susan mcginnis in washington with more this morning. good morning to you. >> terrell, good morning. very unstable situation in egypt right now, with mubarak near death. there are unclear results from this election. and now tens of thousands are protesting a move by the ruling military to grab more power. initial reports of the death of hosni mubarak sparked celebrations in cairo's tahrir square, but they were later confirmed to be wrong. the 84-year-old is not dead, but is on life support, and in critical condition. mubarak was rushed to this military hospital after suffering a stroke in prison. a small group of supporters gathered outside. mubarak was sentenced in june to life in prison for failing to stop the killing of hundreds of protesters during an uprising last year. mubarak's decline comes with egypt in a precarious transition of power. sunday's election has yet to yield a winner and the military is still running the country. mohamed mursi, the muslim brotherhood candidate and the former prime minister ahmed shafiq are both claiming victory in sunday's election. as polls were closing sunday, military leaders issued a constitutional addendum that would keep the new president from having authority over the military. >> the concern is that the situation is extremely murky now, even many egyptians don't understand it. >> reporter: that ruling, along with the uncertainty of the election results, led to massive protests. >> the prospect for democracy in egypt are undeniable. the people of egypt have embraced this democratic spirit, and that's not -- there's no turning back. >> reporter: the military has vowed to allow the new president to take office by the end of the month, but how much power he will have remains to be seen. so while the official winner of that election will be announced tomorrow, it is unclear how much power he will have, and certainly the loser is going to reject those results so the uncertainty, the instability, terrell, is certain to continue. >> susan mcginnis in washington this morning. susan, thank you so much. greece may have a new government by the end of the day today. the leaders of three parties

in syria was also a critical topic. the president discussed the issue in private meetings with chinese president hu jintao and russian president vladimir putin. both countries have close ties with syria and mr. obama said they are resisting taking firmer action against the assad regime. >> i wouldn't suggest that at this point the united states and the rest of the international community are
