deposed president mohamed morsi. >> translator: the court has ruled firstly that in presence first and with consensus of opinion to punish each of the following defendants by execution by hanging. >> reporter: morsi with other top leaders of the muslim brotherhood were sentenced over a mass prison break during egypt place in 2011 and say it's politically motivated. >> it is coming from a judiciary who is sub servient and i'm surprised because the charges are groundless and there is no change for any of the defendants to free themselves. >> reporter: in a separate case morsi and senior brotherhood

members were sentenced to life in prison charges on spying for hamas, hezbollah and iran and they question egypt's judiciary and before reading he said he had satanic goals and this is part of the january revolution in 2011 which toppled musbarak and after that they designated the group a terrorist group in 2013 and mass trials and death sentences handed out for hundreds who support the group and rights group and u.s. and eu condemned the sentencing and question its credibility. egypt's president sisi says it's independent and he cannot interfere. egypt is divided. many still support the muslim brotherhood and many others back using the iron fist against an outlawed group.

al jazeera. we have an associate professor at a&m school of law and published author of egyptian revolution and rule of law association and is live from washington d.c. great to have you with us and we had a report there that the judge in the court accusing mohamed morsi and the muslim brotherhood of pursuing satanic goals, it doesn't sound particularly independent, does it? >> well, the judges have a lot of pressure on them from the executive particularly at the first instance which is where the prosecutor general has the most influence so egyptians come to terms with the fact that any verdict coming out of the court of first instance is highly influenced by the executive branch. the big question is will this be reversed on appeal when it goes to the highest court and there are me egypt egyptians who this is a political theatre where sisi tries to send this to the

brotherhood saying if you oppose me you may face the death sentence the most extreme sentence but then the court may help him save face by eventually reversing it into a life sentence. >> why do you think the appeals court is likely to reverse it whereas this court hasn't? >> there is a few reasons including that the judges at the highest courts are much more sophisticated, less vulnerable to being politically pressured because they are at the peak of their careers and the court has relative independence and often times the evidence is very weak at the court of first instance because the prosecutor general controls the investigative process. and so the court of appeals often finds not enough evidence or there is procedural problems. and again if they confirm this ruling they are going to make mohamed morsi a political martyr that will be in the history books of political islamists and extremist groups for centuries

which would be completely counter productive to egypt interest and global interest. >> i find it interesting with global interest that we have not heard a massive outcry from countries around the world, as far as i can see it's turkey that has come and spoken out against this ruling. >> this is truly been disappointing. i think what is happening in america and western countries are allowing sisi to run russia against civil rights and liberties against activists and civil society and center for human rights in egypt because they want his cooperation on counter terrorism. they want him to support the saudi attack on yemen, the attacks on i.s.i.s. and their broader counter terrorism in the region. and so they are essentially selling democracy short and human rights in egypt and other middle east countries so that they can impose their i think counter terrorism agenda in the middle east and losers

re-egyptians who want a safe democratic country who serves the poem and not dictator or corrupt elites. >> thanks for your views and thanks for joining us from washington. president vladimir putin says russia will add 40 ballistic missiles to the nuclear arsenal list this year and move by the u.s. to increase its military presence in nato states in eastern europe and rory challenge is joining us from outside of moscow and this is really cold war stuff and give us some context to this announcement. >> reporter: one of the features of the deteriorating relations between the west and russia over the ukraine crisis is in the last few months or so washington and moscow have been accusing each other of violating various cold war era missile treaties. so in particular washington says that russia has violated an

intermediate arranged treaty that was signed between the ussr and the west in 1987. by test flying a particular type of cruise missile. what moscow says that washington has stepped over boundaries by intending to place heavy weaponry and tanks and suspects intermediate missiles in eastern europe and says that nato is pushing russia into a new arms race so i think it would be difficult to see what putin has announced anything other than a direct response to this kind of rhetoric. >> but 40 missiles are not going to come cheap, are they, is this something that russia can afford? >> well that's a good question and it may well be more tough talk than substance because there are some suggestions that these missiles are not actually going to be new missiles to the fleet, extra missiles but more

like replacements to aging missile systems. i step aside actually and we might be able to see the rather ominous sausage looking thing in the background and that is a topple missile system and one of the older missiles and putin has talked in the past about upgrading the nuclear capabilities but you are right russia is in the middle of a vast up grading of its whole military industrial complex at the moment, taking it through to 2020 where the plan is that it will replace 70% of all its hardware in that time. it's worth remembering what happened to the ussr, it was an empire that was essentially bankrupted by an arms race which it couldn't win against a much richer west. >> okay rory it certainly does look especially under the dark, heavy skies, thanks for joining us. now one of al-qaeda's most

senior leaders has been killed by a u.s. drone strike in yemen. and sheikh nasser al-wuhaishi was in charge of al-qaeda in the arab peninsula and u.s. regarded him as one of the most dangerous people in the world and we have the story. >> reporter: the meeting of al-qaeda in the arab peninsula was held last year in the open and during daylight hours and despite the drone attack the leader seemed to be saying we are not afraid. clearly mocking the u.s. and yemen governments who for years have vowed to get rid of aqap and a target for well over a decade has been eliminated but is the threat still alive? >> al-qaeda, the original al-qaeda has by and large been neutral iezed in the last several years and al-qaeda and arab peninsula has not and is probably the most significant to the west in terms of both capability and intent to conduct

terrorist attacks. >> reporter: [bomb sounds] aqap under the stewardship has been considered the active and dangerous wing of the al-qaeda network, formed in 2009 after the merger of the saudi and yemen branches of al-qaeda carried out their first cross border attack in august of that year when a su side bomber who said he was reformed blew him up in the presence of deputy minister. a few months later on christmas day the group tried to down a u.s. passenger jet over detroit. then in 2010 they attempted to send partial bombs on to u.s. cargo planes and these sophisticated and spectacular attack attempts were planned in hide outs deep in yemen and u.s. recognizing how dangerous and effective the group had ground declared aqap as the biggest threat to citizenry and stepped up drone attacks in yemen. but analysts say the group

remains resurgent and able to at adapt and targeting officials and bombing installations in the years since. in 2013 attack on a hospital at sanaa defense ministry compound killed dozens and wounded hundreds and it had sheikh nasser al-wuhaishi's fingerprints all over it and when aqap was behind the charlie hebdo attack it reenforced how political stability may embolden the group further and violence consumed yemen once more and aqap is attempting to carve out more space. just over an hour after the group confirmed of sheikh nasser al-wuhaishi's death it declared the next leader raimy and the message is clear and may have taken a hit but are not diminished. al jazeera. let's take a look at how all

of this fits in with u.s. strategy and it's certainly the most significant strike in yemen since they began the campaign back in 2009. since then more than 100 strikes estimated to have killed 500 people including this man anwar-lacki and he was a prominent leader and killed in 2011 and a year later deputy sherry was targeted by a drone strike and this year four senior leaders were killed including operations chief. and we have the director for the security at the royal united services institute and joins us live from berlin. great to have you with us. so the u.s. gets rid of one leader but another one springs immediately into its place. where is al-qaeda getting all this support from? >> well, i think when you look at the group aqap or al-qaeda and a rab peninsula you deal

with an organization around for some time and deep roots in the area it's operating within and this is both in terms of having sort of local people who were recruited from the local tribes and local area supporting them and a long history of people from other places going to join aqap to train the council and fight alongside them so they have a sort of reasonable group of people that they can draw upon for leadership figures and nonetheless i do not think it detracts from the fact that the loss is somebody that global al-qaeda organization will feel as well as this particular region affiliate. >> you do have a real case of u.s. policy in yemen being pulled in different direction and it must question whether or not it is working because on one hand you are targeting the al-qaeda leaders and on the other hand you are supporting this fight against their main enemy the houthis. i mean they must be wondering what exactly is going on. >> well, i think it is very complicated what is happening in yemen at the moment but i think that we kind of have to focus on

the fact when you look at aq you are dealing with an organization that remains in particular and continues to have an interest in launching inging attacks against the west and where the u.s. strategic interest has to focus on and getting rid of that organization or degrading the capacity to launch attacks against you. we can see this sort of approach of targeting leadership figures and eliminating them one by one and making it difficult for the organization to operate and knocking off leaders regularly like this had a substantial impact on al-qaeda core, afghanistan, pakistan and that organization is a shadow of what it was before. whereas the difference in aqap you are dealing with an organization that has a bigger environment to operate in and knocking off the leader strategy is not going to eradicate in the same way in the short term but it does nonetheless degrade the capability and he was a significant figure and his loss will be one that is felt of sheikh nasser al-wuhaishi. >> al-qaeda is focused on international targets but how

interested is it in spreading in yemen itself? is it likely to join the fight against the houthis and then is that likely to impact on the u.s.' strategy? >> i think that there are probably elements that are locked in place against houthis and some suggestion there may be other regional powers trying to support elements of al-qaeda or tribes believes to be closer to al-qaeda to try to fight against houthis in particular and you have a difficult dynamic from u.s. perspective and i think what sort of the houthis various success over the past few months have done is made it harder for them to operate. this is a particular strike that was successful but i think there is a lot of things that the u.s. wanted to try to do in yemen that it has been unable to do because of the sort of situation on the ground with the saudis comeing in fighting against the houthis and displacing the yemen authorities who were very much a partner that the u.s. government

worked with to specifically target the fight against al-qaeda. >> chaotic situation and thank you very joining us. >> it is. u.n. nation for children says the number of child casualties in yemen is unacceptable. new figures from unicef confirm 279 children killed since the saudi-led bombing camp page began nearly three months ago and 400 children injured and many more psychologically harmed. still ahead here on the program counting the economic costs of the mers outbreak in south korea as tourists stay away. plus women in nepal mexican town are in a million dollar scheme to lure drug money. and in sport we will tell you whether tournament favorite germany has done enough to progress to the next round of the world's world cup. ♪
