the gardens of his now home, the presidential palace. less than a year before it was occupied by mohamed mursi. the man that led the coup that ousted mohamed mursi is in charge. he used the speech to justify a crackdown on the muslim brotherhood. there was a threat of civil war. there was the misuse of religion, and acts that are contradictory with the proper religion of islam. as you see, the people are the big losers. in addition, there was a bad economic situation. we were in debt here and overseas. and there was high unemployment. now, abdul fatah al-sisi says a priority is fighting terrorist. he never named the muslim brotherhood. but in a thinly veiled reference, the new president said there would be no reconciliation with anyone he said had adopted violence against egyptians. >> translation: in order to achieve national dignity, social justice, there'll be

reconciliation with everyone that sees egypt as his or her nation. those who killed the people of egypt has no place on our part. i am saying it in a clear cut way. those that kill the innocent and the honourable people of egypt have no place on our path. >> reporter: abdul fatah al-sisi promised economic reforms to improve the investment environment and cop sen trait on the life of the country's poor. there was a commitment to fighting corruption, an acknowledgment of an issue that helped to trigger the resolution that brought down hosni mubarak, the last military map to leave egypt. for more on the changes facing egypt. i spoke to a professor at a universitiy of law, and asked how much progress abdul fatah al-sisi might make on a problem, the economy. >> it depends on a few factors.

the first whether he can decrease corruption, among the business elite. collectively these groups, this slifer at the top steels billions of pounds through corruptions and black market sales. he'll have to deal with corruption if he wants to have an economy that redistributes wealth to the 40% that live below or at poverty levels. he is going to need to figure out a solution with the muslim brotherhood, else he'll have a political spoiler that will be doing everything it can to destabilize economic plans. many of the issues that egypt are grabbling with have been decades in the making. al jazeera demand the release of its journalists detained in egypt. three al jazeera staff have been held tore 162 days, on thursday

to find new ways to track. how does it work? every passenger jet would transmit data to a satellite. that information would be sent to a ground station where it would be recordedment some aircraft do it for engineering reasons. a new system could include the plane's location, second by second data on the altitude and information about speed and direction. >> aircraft engineering companies track the performance of some planes, allowing them to pick up problems and advise airluns. one suggestion is that the same technology should be expanded to include detailed data. >> there's a direct connection. that goes through the satellite. we pick up that material at the ground station, from the

internet. and look at it. but with thousands of aircraft in the air, each producing a vast amount of data. an effective tracking system would need to be effective. it would send some data at a time. >> the technology is there now. what we need to do is find a way of applying it in a consistent way and globally standardized way so you don't have to do different things in different parts of the world, but in a way to enable airlines to do it in a cost effective manner. >> the business is on the verge of being transferred. satellite countries are arguing over the cost and value.
