public official in egypt in decades. what exactly are the new security measures? the new law broadens the definition of terrorism giving prosecutors the right to wire tap and record private conversations online and on the fine. the law mandates the death penalty or life in prison for anyone who leads runs, or funds a designated terrorist organization. the new measures also call for five-year prison terms for anyone found guilty of promoting the use of violence through social media and finally absolves the security forces from legal rep cushions for violence while putting the law in to practice. a senior lecture you are in the study of islam and the muslim world at kings college in london, joining me now live from the british capital. good to have you with us. you know, in the con ticket of a country where they have a judiciary issuing mass death sentences after trials lasting only a few minutes in, that context what does a law like this likely mean for human

rights? >> in terms of human rights this is a worrying development on the back grants of the blank death sentences that are passed. on the other hand, from the perspective of the current government they feel probably they have no other option. they have been in power since 2013 but they continue to be confronted with these constant flare ups of politically motivated violence both in egypt itself but recently and more worryingly the flare up in the sinai desert which is strategically very importantly positioned towards the gaza strip, israel and the wider middle east and there are clear indications that the government is struggling in establishing. [ inaudible ] opening the expecting opened of the second suez canal this summer, it is in all the interest of sisi's

government, of course, to demonstrate that they are fully in control. and these kind of measures, of course are there to provide in the eyes. government the security and intelligence forces with the required tools to do that. >> but is it working though? we have seen clamp down after clamp down and stability doesn't seem to be coming. >> indeed, that is, of course, the worrying part of these kind of clamp downs is that this do not really stamp out dissatisfaction and the resistence against the government in egypt. in terms of the integrity. political integrity of egypt and a long side that you have another manifestation of political islam in the sinai desert where an organization that used to be seen as a local phenomenon has decided to swear allegiance to the i.s. caliphate in syria and iraq and there by

actually expanding the threat levels. this is, of course, something that the government is really struggling with in dealing and it's also very unwelcome distraction of the major economic concerns that plague this government and creating stability through economic development. they simply don't gather around addressing these pressing issues because one way or the other the could you are at this situation remains very precarious. >> in those sorts of conditions which you are describe, do you think the muslim brotherhood call for revolutionaries to bring down the government? do you think that will resonate on the egyptian street in. >> i am not too convinced of that. it's not surprising the muslim brotherhood issued that statement today. it's this week, two years ago that president morsi was out of theed from power. but also we have had that incidents yesterday so it's

also, of course, a reaction and emotional against that very america i situation that came out in the open yesterday, these statements are not surprising but we have seen that there is sustained support for the plus lick brotherhood in broad sections of the egyptian society. the organization is legalist because all the key figure are in government custody and will make it very difficult for the muslim brotherhood to come up with any kind of coordinated resystems. >> all right thanks for that. european finance ministers have rejected talks on a new bailout for greece until after a national referendum on sunday, greeks will vote on whether to accept or reject a range of spending cuts and tax hikes which creditors recommended. saying the referendum should help to resolve this agreement. >> you know, we have received so many latest offers, which

themselves have been value gated, invalidated. changed, amended over the last few days that it's quite uncertain exactly where the latest proposal stands. i think that, you know, a major decision was made last friday to interrupt the negotiations on the part of greece. when it decided to launch a referendum. this coming sunday. i think there is a democratic process that is underway and that should result in hopefully more clarity lesson certainty as to what is the determination of the greek people. and what is the authority of the government. >> barnaby phillips has this update from athens. >> reporter: europe's leaders have made it clear that they won't deal with the greek government now until after the

referendum. there is no trust and negotiations have come to a standstill. it's an open secret that the majority of europe's leaders hope this process will result in a yes vote and the overthrow of the government, the resignation of elect sit tsipras, i don't know if they'll get their wish or not. public opinion in this country is split. and the political mood is very volatile. an opinion poll came out on thursday morning showing a narrow lead to the yes vote. but alexis tsipras and his government will be campaigning hard over the next 48 hours trying to convince the greek people to vote no. meanwhile on thursday morning long queues of pensioners again at greek banks, these are, of course, the old people who don't necessarily have bank cards and don't forget, what an emotive issue pensions and pensioners as a group are in the context of the whole greek crisis, these

aren't the kind of images that the greek government would have wanted to you have seen on your tv screens in the days before such an important referendum. at least 34 people have died after a ferry capsize ed in the philippines. it happened about a local ter off the coast. the coast guard says there were 173 people on board most have been rescued. survivors are being treat ed in hospital, 21 people are still missing, though. an afghan appeals court has quashed the death sentences given to four men for their part in the mob killing of a young woman in march. she was attacked at an us lack i can shrine after being falsely accused of burning a copy of the koran, she was stone today death, her both i run over by a car and then set on fire. four men will now serve 20 years in prison and the manager of the shrine has been acquitted. negotiations are underway to try to reach a deal in the long-running iran nuclear talks. the head of the international a

to him i believeatomic energy agency is meeting in teheran. world leaders are due to join the talks in vienna to hammer out a final deal. our diplomatic he had are editor james bays is live in vee an for us. james, there seems to be a lot of coming and going by world leaders and top officials, what does it all mean at this point? >> reporter: well, i think it means we are edging closer to a deal. but it's still by no means certain we are going to get a deal because there still are sticking points, i have been told for sometime that the plan was to try and get all of the problems together. all the areas that still have not been agreed and get foreign ministers to come here and try and work slowly through that list. and that, i think is why we are seeing more foreign ministers gathering here in vienna, arriving in the next few hours. we already have secretary of state john kerry here, and the iranian foreign minister and

minister stein meyer from germany are already in place at the moment. but others will be joining them in the coming hours remember about 48 hours ago the foreign minister of russia, sergei love i don't have was here and each are coming to try to solve some of these problems that remain on this list. the difficulty is, sami it's not just getting a political agreement but getting all the details ironed out because what they have to come up with is not an interim agreement like the two agreements we have seen so far, this has to be a final lasting, binding deal that will last for an initial period of at the point years and then for i a period beyond that. and there must be no doubt about exactly what has been agreed. this is legal text that they are trying to write. that's why this is a long winded process and difficult process given the very difficult subject matter they have been dealing with. subject matter that people have been wrangler over for years and years. >> there must be some really

specific points now given that the iaea chief is flying to teheran. what exactly is the problem that they are trying to overcome at this point? do we know? >> reporter: there are quite a few little details that must be dealt with and some of those are quite difficult what you are going to do on them. but the big issues have been, the issues of sanctions relief and exactly how that would work and exactly when would the sanctions be lifted and the u.n. security council resolution, we understand they are making some progress on how they would do the sequencing of that. that leaves a whole issue of inspections, and that is why the iaea are zone shall in this because when you get a deal the police force to make sure the deal being complied with are going to be iaea inspectors. and there are several issues that each side is worried about with regard to the iaea. certainly the international community is concerned they get

proper access where they want to go in iran and that includes military sites iran is concerned about letting the iaea go to military sites across the country. and the other issue to do with the iaea is the fact that the iaea has unanswered questions about iran's nuclear program going back years how did iran actually get its nuclear installations going, where did it get all the components from and there are those that say if try iran won't come clean about the past how can you trust it in the future. james bays there in vienna. still to come in the show. united states investigation whether airlines are working together to keep the price of airairfares sky high and find out how somalia became an unlikely destination for footballers hoping develop professional skills.

is reporting that the justice department is looking in to whether or not these airline companies started talking to each other in order to make sure there weren't very many seats and at that drives up the prices. what we believe is that a letter was sent to the major carriers from the justice department asking for records in all of their communications with each other, but also with wall straight analysts and big stock investigators, so they are starting the investigation should point out in the united states it is highly illegal for competitors to co lewd especially when it comes to increasing costs on consumers but, again, this seems to be very early on in the investigation and these kind of cases often take years before you find out if anybody did anything wrong. sir nicholas winton who reese cued 699 children destined for nazi concentration camps havecamps hasdied at one off sick, he was then aged 20 mine and arranged for trains to carry the children out of occupied praying. despite opposition from officials the children were brought to britain.
