Holly williams begins our coverage tonight in cairo. Reporter thousands of egyptians poured on to the streets, furious with the countrys first democratically elected president. They accused Mohamed Morsi of behaving like a pharaoh, making a power grab by president ial decree. During the arab spring, egyptians came together on Tahrir Square to top it will countrys longtime dictator hosni mubarak. Today mr. Morsis critics clashed with his supporters while police fired tear gas canisters into the crowd. Hes saying that hes our god said this protester. Hes made a mistake. And this woman said that after marching for freedom the countrys ended up with a new dictator. In alexandria, an angry crowd stormed the offices at the Muslim Brotherhood from which president morsi draws his support. They ransacked the building and then set it on fire. From outside his president ial palace today, mr. Morsi addressed the nation. He said the new measures are designed to cut through political gridlock. It was allahs will that i became the president he said and we need to go forward with the new steps, not backwards. But only 52 of egyptians voted for the president. Now many of those who didnt worry that mr. Morsi wants to stifle democracy and impose his own islamist vision on the country. Mason were joined by Holly Williams in cairo. Holly, given the scale of the protests, is there any sign morsi might change his mind . Reporter well, when president morsi addressed the nation today he sounded very firm and if he were to backtrack now, that would be a big loss of prestige for him. Lets be clear, many egyptians support him. They elected Mohamed Morsi because they want a conservative muslim as president and they want him to push ahead with his program of reforms. But for many more liberal egyptians, they feel angry. They say that the egyptian revolution has been betrayed and they dont show any sign of backing down, either. Now that leaves egypt, a country with so many problems, a country thats so important in the broader middle east, deeply divided. Mason Holly Williams, thanks, holly. Whats the reaction at the white house . Chip reid is there with that part of the story. Chip . Reporter good evening. The only official reaction has come from the state department which says morsis actions raise concerns. In a written statement a Department Spokesperson says one of the aspirations of the revolution was to ensure that power would not be overly concentrated in the hands of any one person or institution. But, of course, morsis actions would concentrate enormous power in his hands. That puts the administration in a difficult position because president obama called morsi three times this week during the Gaza Ceasefire negotiations and secretary of state Hillary Clinton flew to meet with him. Afterwards, administrations officials praised him as a peacekeeper, now the white house has to figure out how to respond with a so called peacekeeper whos stirring up so much protesting. Mason chip reid. Thanks, chip. The ceasefire in gaza morsi brokerd is holding despite a deadly shooting at the border. Israeli troops fired warning shots at 300 palestinians to force them to move away from the fence that separates israel from gaza. Israel considers that area off limits.
