Wednesday on Worldview:

Rumors about the health of former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak have added to the chaos and confusion gripping Egypt. Some reports on Tuesday claimed he had died — but those reports proved inaccurate. During the last few days at least 10,000 Egyptians have gathered in Tahrir Square to demand that the ruling generals hand over real power to Mohamed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood candidate who appears to have won a slim majority during last weekend’s election. Egypt’s election committee has not provided official election results yet.
