Egyptian supporters of Muslim Brotherhood presidential candidate Mohammed Mursi gather in Cairo's Tahrir Square on June 19, 2012.
Egypt's political face-off continues, with new delays to the outcome of the presidential election. Meanwhile in Syria, aid teams stood ready to help evacuate people trapped and wounded by fighting in the contested city of Homs. We'll discuss the Egyptian election, the ongoing crisis in Syria and evolving U.S. policy toward the region.
