reporter: well, it s very surprising because we were expecting a bloodbath just yesterday. this area was a brutal battleground. it was like a siege, a midevil seethe, out here. and today the egyptian army came in, helping maintain law and order outside the barricades here. now it s more of a lovefest. we just heard someone on the loud speaker saying, anybody can come up and speak. lawyers, anyone are welcome to step up. a lovefest. reporter: it s important to note the threat of chaos is not far away, brooke, because just two blocks from here, i just walked down on hour or two ago, you ve got ganged of anti-mubarak and pro-mubarak demonstrators duking it out in the streets. ivan, i want to you hold that thought for just a moment. i apologize for having to interrupt you. but i want to break away from egypt just for a moment. i want to take you as prams s promised to houston. we re now hearing from mark kelly from the johnson space
