Welcome to weekends with alex witt. Lets get to whats happening out there. A developing news from a situation right now in egypt. It is critical. The Muslim Brotherhood protesters calling for a week of peaceful protests. An estimated 100 people were killed and over 1,000 arrested yesterday. But those numbers expected to rise. Nbc news Richard Engel was on the front line in cairos ramsey square. Protesters are taking cover under this elevated highway. Seem to be taking live fire from a Police Station just up the road. Wounded were hoisted onto motorcycles and taken to clinics. Some already looked dead. For more im joined by p. J. Crowley, a fellow at the George Washington University Institute for tkhreupt seu and global communications. Just your reaction to what were seeing. The violence. Look at the pictures that Richard Engel brought to us. People brought into morgues, declared dead, boom, theyre moved out. Its horrific what we are seeing. Well, egypt is moving backwards.
