Shots fired in Cairo clashes.
Description

"I ask all political forces and youth movements, men and women, all those who were born on Egyptian soil, to unite. Give the government, which fate made me its president, a chance until the end of January until security is restored and the production wheel starts moving again."
He denied that security forces used violence in dealing with protests.

"I've said this before, we do not respond to any peaceful protests with any kind of violence even with the use of words, and I am committed to this."
On Saturday, protesters attacked government buildings, setting many of them on fire.
Demonstrators claim they were provoked after members of a sit-in were adbucted and beaten by authorities.
The violence comes just days after the second round of Egypt parliamentary elections, touted as the first free polls in decades.
