Alleged Al-Jazeera reporter arrested in Egypt

Boys walk by a donkey cart used by a scrap collector making his rounds in Cairo's neighborhood of Dar el-Salam, Egypt, Thursday, May 29, 2014. "El-Sissi will leave no one wanting!" the 50-year-old shopkeeper in a Cairo slum barked when a younger man criticized the victor of Egypt's presidential election, former army chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi. The heated argument shows the limits of the retired field marshal's landslide amid a generational divide. Many older voters embraced him enthusiastically. But among the young, ambitions for change have been unleashed, and even those who voted for el-Sissi have low expectations he will fulfill them. (AP Photo/Mahmoud Bakkar)
