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)

FILE - In this file photo dated Thursday, July 30, 2009, John Chilcot, the chairman of the Iraq Inquiry as the inquiry gets underway in London, looking at background details and the decision making process during the run-up to the Iraq War. The Iraq Inquiry announced Thursday May 29, 2014, that its report has been delayed for several years by negotiations over the inclusion of classified material including details of exchanges between Britain's then-Prime Minister Tony Blair and U.S. President George W. Bush, before the invasion of Iraq, but the full versions of the conversations will remain secret. Although today's announcement made clear that the British inquiry into decisions and mistakes in the planning and execution of the war will be made public, it is still unclear when Chilcot's report will be released.
