was pilot fatigue a possible in egypt today, violence is now escalating out of control after supporters of deposed president mohamed morsi clashed with the military and police leaving at least 50 dead, more than 400 wounded. joining me now from cairo, nbc news's ayman muhyeldin. military is saying they were returning fire. how is it affecting what's continuing to be a political and military crisis? >> reporter: well, andrea, we spent the better part of the day speaking to eyewitnesses, going to that field hospital, speaking to some of the people that were injured. if you ask the supporters of the ousted president twlb is only one narrative here, and that was they were simply engaged in a peaceful protest and prayer in the early hours of the morning outside the republican guard headquarters. it was at that point the military and the police opened fire on them killing more than 50 people. they believe they were doing this -- the military was doing this to send a clear message to these protesters that they want them out of this area because it is a military area but more importantly because they are fed up with this protest that they think is stalling the country. when you ask the military and the military itself held the press conference today, they say that isn't further from the truth, that they allow everyone peaceful protests but in fact what did transpire was that armed gunmen stormed or tried to storm the republican guard headquarters. its soldiers came in under attack. in fact one soldier belonging to the republican guard was killed and it was only at that point that its soldiers acted in self-defense and had to open fire. the question though that i think human rights activists and democracy activists we are speaking to are asking, why did the military use that type of force? why do you have a death toll of nearly 50 people? why did you use live ammunition when you over the course of the last several days knew there was a staged sit-in protest outside the republican guards? i think these are the questions that will be the center of an investigation that's now been launched by the country's interim president. he says he wants to get to the bottom of this and he's formed a fact finding mission to try and find out exactly what happened this morning. >> what -- how do they justify keeping morsi under "house arrest"? >> reporter: well, the military's position is he is no longer the president. if the muslim brotherhood is out on the secret on the streets, they fear it will lead to the riots. other islamist politicians have been detained and their channels shut down because the military took it as a preemptive step concerned that if in fact they were disappointed with what happened last week, they would incite their supporters and followers to violence and they don't want that to happen. right now that's one of the justifications of why president more ty si remains under detent. we understand he is the subject of an investigation under a cairo prosecutor. he's now on a travel ban along with other leaders of the freedom an justice party. there are some who have accused him of being involved in the killing of protesters during his time in office so certainly there are prosecutors and lawyers that will also want to try to bring those cases against the former president. >> eamon moil dean, thanai ayma much. edward snowden has spoken out again. earlier today "the guardian" released part two of its exclusive interview before he fled to moscow. he now has three countries offering him asylum but he remains at the moscow airport where he's been hole up for the past two weeks. he told two reporters why he leaked the information. >> the nsa doesn't limit itself to foreign intelligence. it collects all communications that transit the united states. i don't want to live in a world where everything that i say, everything i do, everyone i talk to, every expression of creativity or love or friendship is recorded. i think anyone who opposes that sort of world has an obligation to act in a way they can. >> of course with, it is not just snowed than has put the white house and its national security team under pressure from all sides. in the escalating crisis in egypt accused of propping morsi up and now under fire for abanening him and they say, acquiescing into what has all the earmarks of a military coup. critics on all side. joining me now, former defense secretary william cohen, chairman and ceo of the cohen group. bill, this is a very tough time indeed for this administration. you have a knew national security advisor, susan rice. she took over a week ago today. the secretary of state has been traveling non-stop in the middle east and now you have egypt absolutely in flames. >> well, i think it is a pivotal moment for egypt and for the administration and how it deals with this. we have very limit leverage with egypt at this point -- >> $1.5 billion isn't enough. >> economic assistance that goes to egypt and military assistance going to the military. the question the administration is wrestling with now in terms whether to call it a military coup or some kind of hybrid is whether or not cutting off the ate at this point would only deepen the crisis and send egypt into a further meltdown than it is currently experiencing. i think they're waiting to see whether or not any kind of order is going to be restored, whether or not the brotherhood is going to be excluded from the political process which would be a big mistake and whether or not at some point they are going to allow mr. morsi to come out of confinement. he has been removed and it is unlikely he's ever going to get back into the presidency as such without causing the division to go even further but there has to be a resolution. middle of the roaders have to come to grips an say, look, there are conservative radical islamists who have also opposed his presidency and there are liberals who want to see democracy established. what has to happen is you have to have some kind of a unity government formed and the egyptian people have to come to the realization, the old african proverb -- when he will fantastic fight, only the grass suffers. the egyptian people are now the grass that's being trampled on between one elephant and the other, between those who are advocating morsi's cause and those who are opposed to him. >> the muslim brotherhood are not going to go away. they can only be even more radicalized but can they be brought back into the process? or does what the military did just mean that there is no possible reconciliation between these two forces? >> the question becomes one of timing. how quickly can they call for new elections? for example, i heard one military official say a year. that's really -- >> that's far too long. >> somewhere between three and six months call for new elections and to insist that they be fair, that they look at the constitution that could be modified somewhat but the constitution's already been drafted, and then insist that these elections be held and whoever wins has the power to lead that country. without that i think we're going to see a continuation of a meltdown in egypt with the fracturing of the country looking more like syria than it does today. >> john mccain called for the immediate cut-off of military aid. what would be the ramifications? >> well, others will provide the aid. for example, the egyptians look out to uae, to saudi arabia for others to help them economically. the military does have sufficient equipment, certainly to function in the short term. but i think senator mccain is correct, this is going to be the lever we have in terms of the military saying if you want to continue this reelship -- and we do have a long and historic relationship with their military -- if this is going to continue, you can't continue to be an occupying force, as such, in the political process. you have to have subordination to civilian rule. >> bill cohen, thanks very much. dire time in egypt, indeed. in other news making headlines today -- another plane crash. this one in alaska. it killed all ten people on-board sunday. the air taxi crashed and burst into flames after departing a small airport southwest of anchorage. the ntsb is investigating this crash as well. teresa heinz kerry's condition has been upgraded from critical to fair as they continues be treated for an unknown illness at a boston hospital. wife of secretary of state john kerry was rushed from the family's vacation home in nantucket sunday afternoon by ambulance, then flown to massachusetts general hospital. mrs. kerry is 74 years old and was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009. these are pictures of her boarding a flight for europe with the secretary of state about a month or so ago. family says that they were not releasing any more details but they are "touched" by the outpouring of well wishes. john kerry was due back in washington today but his schedule is now, understandably, in flux as he remains at his wife's side.
