Special coverage 1 of Iran and the fallout continues right now. It's a lot of wait and see. What's next, what's going to happen next, what's going to happen in the streets, what's going to happen but you know what, behind the scenes, what's the clergy 2 and those running the country, but this is what we have been seeing. Video, amateur video that's been coming to us because of the crackdown on the foreign press. We know at least 19 people were killed in yesterday's clashes between protestors and armed security forces, that 19, that number comes to us from sources we have at hospitals there in Iran.

 And those forces that we have been talking about, there is armed forces include the Basij which is a feared pro-government militia 3. One witness told us the situation is very dangerous, and that the Iranian government is still enforcing an international media blackout we know that, this is very evident, because we cannot even bring our own pictures or our own reports out of Iran. So much of the information and video that were going to be passing along to you is indeed coming from citizens, citizen journalist inside Iran. Many of whom are taking great risk to not only take part in those protests but send us those images and those pictures.

 We do have some graphic 4 video though, that we have to bring to you right now. some of the videos are just so bad that, we do have to blur 5 it out. And we wanna give you a warning it shows a woman bleeding on the streets of Tehran, and no one sure of her real name. she's been referred to on Twitter just as Neda, so, take a look again, this is a very graphic video posted online Saturday. A blogger claimed the young woman was protesting with her father when the pro-government militia shot her in the heart. These pictures have been on Twitter and that people are just buzzing in the blog's affair about it this weekend and there's so much interest that a discussion group is up and focused on Neda.

Let's take a listen to this chilling sound late at night in Tehran Saturday night. That is the sound of what appears to be a home invasion. Security forces attacking apartment buildings in Tehran. We have heard about that happening throughout the week that at night they go in, they break apart homes and cars and detain people. When you hear people screaming, they are coming on the balcony. They are coming in the terrorist. Go away, go away. Terrifying stuff there. Despite these threats throughout the night, we got reports that protesters were screaming along walk bar "God is great from the roof tops", a show of defiance 6 against the Iranian regime. I got an email from a protestor just about an hour ago, he said he was doing that, and somebody fired back at him but they kept yelling along walk bar, somebody is firing gunshot in retaliation 7. And he said he's gonna go on and hold protests, try to hold protests today this afternoon and then again on Monday, a morning demonstration 8.
