2:22 pm
scholars and no one can pretend to be a scholar in order to get benefits or to reach the power. egypt is quite rich from scholars. take the signs from the scholars. don't take the signs from those have religious differences without knowing a lot about islam. we need to renew religious discourse and continue its role in spreading the proper image of islam all over the world. because our islam has been hit. we cannot at the same time neglect the role of the grant egyptian church that has played a big effective role. we cannot ignore the role of the egyptian church that has played
2:23 pm
ann an effective role of the real message of the unit, of the people, of egypt, and to face the bad ideologies of those riff between the suns of the countries. we need the role of the church to be revitalized in order to play a big role in the development of this country. we need to achieve all these goals economic, social, cultural, and we need also the egyptian institutions to play its role, and to play the real role, and to work in all coordination in an organized way in planning not connected to individuals, but working within an awareness concept for the
2:24 pm
country. the state of the institutions that move from an era to another era, that build upon the achievements and develop itself, an itself-- >> we've been living to the newly inaugurated president of egypt al sisi on the day that he has been sworn in for respect. not focusing on the past but learning lessons from the past, and looking towards the future. let's bring in live from london. you're also listen to go sisi, there were great pains in the beginning of the teach, but as the speech progressed we got more and more of an idea that his top priority was to fight terrorism, he's not willing to
2:25 pm
include people, egyptians who are committing crimes and violence. >> you're absolutely recollect. he is the president of all egyptians. all egyptians. no marginalization. no isolation, no exclusion, no one. everyone is equal before the law. yet when he talked about security, he made it clear repeatedly, no reconciliation for those element who is have used violence. no reconciliation with individuals and groups who believe in violence, and repeatedly basically sending messages to the islamists, basically the muslim brotherhood that he basically does not believe in any kind of reconciliation. the speech is a long shopping list of the challenges facing egypt, and the challenges he would like to address. he was not very specific at
2:26 pm
all. he talked about security at the top of his priority, creating the environment that egyptians and others could return to egypt. he talked about the poor, as you noticed. he said we must protect the poor. we must basically improve the living standard of the egyptian peasants. talked a great deal, the tournament he used the most was the idea of dignity. the state itself must respect dignity. he talked about creating and modernizing the industrial sector. human security in general, both security mayorly defined and security meaning economic development. >> yes, absolutely. you just touched on what i was going to bring up next. sisi is promising an awful lot.
2:27 pm
he is talking about 26 tourist, 22 industrial cities. eight new airports. how is he going to deliver this? >> well, he knows very well that he faces major, major challenges. that's why he tried to lower expectation. look, we have a social contract, but it has two name, himself and the egypt people. he has called on the egyptian people to work very hard. he has called on the egyptian people to tighten their belts. he said, look, be patient. while egyptian farmers started cheering, he knows the gravity of the social and economic challenges. that's why it was more of a shopping list. no specific ideas but the overall focus is economic development broadly defined and security. security and security. security.
2:28 pm
there is one particular point we must take out of this particular speech, i don't think we're going to witness any bridge making between the egyptian state and the muslim brotherhood. again, he repeatedly said that the former regime of mohamed morsi manipulated islam, exploded islam, and was basically putting egypt on the brink of all-out civil war. >> thank you for bringing your analysis from london. we will leave al sisi speaking to the nation on the day he's been inaugurated as the country's newest president. he's talking about a new era for the country. one that involves all egyptians except those who turn towards crimes and violence. now we'll take you over to another live event that's happening. this one in vatican city.
