3:01 pm
you get. throughout two thousand and twelve and into two thousand and thirteen the streets of egypt were boiling rocked by almost weekly violent protests and riots there was an anger and frustration that divided egyptian society. the people who had risen up in two thousand and eleven had seen little improvements economically and the freedom that they had gained was being misused by some to create chaos. continuous power cuts fuel shortages and petrol queues that later were proven to have been orchestrated by the deep states led to a chalk sick mix of anger and despair on the public. it was a perfect opportunity. for the army to present itself as the sole savior of the
3:02 pm
nation but first it's hard to improve its public image many had not forgotten about the crimes they committed while the supreme council of armed forces was in power the killing of coptic christian protesters atmosphere all or images like this the beating of a young woman and to her square which became known as the blue bra incident. and sisi was well aware of this based on this leaked documents the military's leadership issued orders on june the eighteenth to all the units instructing them to work on gaining people's trust and winning over the public through acts such as painting street pavements moreover it's instructed all military personnel to have complete and unwavering faith in any decision that might be taken by the leadership . it was a demand from c.c. for absolute loyalty.
3:03 pm
the crises in egypt weren't limited to fuel shortages in economics and they weren't the only evidence in the big cities either in sorry nine more and more attacks were taking place again security forces and were being claimed by groups that no one had heard of before. commit most of the cloak that got to be on the. dole and do a little. hell it's. a stick. with all the. cuts . him an edge in the. one one and the the well i can live on coney a could be in the whole the and the who meets. with every day that went by more statements of concern were being made by world leaders . we support peaceful
3:04 pm
process or peaceful protests. and peaceful methods of bringing about change in egypt senior us government officials. by that juncture by june twenty fifth two thousand and thirteen were aware of the possibility of a military coup against morsi and when president obama called president morsi to advise him. to consider making concessions to address the legitimate concerns that existed in the egyptian opposition it was done out of a sincere interest in trying to stabilize egypt. he. was about to rise a woman who are. secular diplomacy how in the ruled it and t.m.b. then as we lead. the whip at the office.
3:05 pm
with only three days left until the planned june thirtieth protests president morsi decided to address the nation in the presence of politicians as well as leaders of the police and army. he headed to the cairo international conference center where his supporters greeted him. with a force of will can. to free. them or a little bit. by is really what. you have. in them and. in the months ahead she had. never heard that it would. i'm a fool to
3:06 pm
a car that's literally been a problem jani. illegally or had a. problem that. has in the. countryside albatross had my leg in an aside. but the c.c. said i can walk again with good that could he would get a thief. mercy speech did in fact include several concessions to the opposition. the ski lug number stuck killed there i. did the story and most thought of. course years in. the mojave. well was all our battalion was hurrying along home in a shirt. however these considerately messages were lost in the midst of a lengthy rambling speech peppered with random anecdotes here had.
3:07 pm
they are good people talking. a lot how come additionally can be only had. you had a. few years and i guess. one two nights out she will know now i guess so when you come to the tara. why didn't i just on the onion i'm not a child are now told i look. arguably the most memorable sentence from that speech was when he referred to the egyptian armed forces. a latino stuck up for another muslim men are well clear that there was no no you know how do you know how on a pole you change out on. so how do you know i'm done i'm going to go as it.
3:08 pm
was a. family nor in what is a can feel and there's but how. much could that. be. north of when i. was on in the winter we see. a lot of them in the race. but the president's opponents did not share that same optimism. about the. twenty four hours after the army deployed across the capital in several
3:09 pm
other cities the opposition increased its demands from early presidential elections to an immediate and unconditional resignation of the president. walked. a lot. i thought. if i do that type of behavior would be in the first ten pages of the qumran or where you deploy the military in order to secure communications sites other important buildings if they were simply seeking to provide security they would have the. major. sites not to major infrastructure that are necessary to put it on top of the government. some of the missiles. but i think in one of the support. commitments of the can. and they can.
3:10 pm
it seemed that the army had succeeded in winning the trust of everyone those who'd previously demanded that the military stay out of politics we're now lobbying on its behalf both home and abroad among them was mohammed about an opposition figure and a veteran diplomat why do you respected on the international scene secretary kerry a long standing relationship with mohamed el baradei i believe they were in contact during that period of time you know what the message from. last week i believe that what i was telling secretary kerry was that the situation had become untenable and that the government of mohamed morsi posed a threat to egyptian society and that some effort needed to be taken to. to to prevent a bigger explosion at a later time we approached. the refused to participate in this film he did
3:11 pm
however post these tweets whilst we were in production. despite the widespread deployment of the army or maybe because of it the feeling at the presidency was that it was truly dangerous for morsi to continue working from the presidential palace to get a laugh a minute how has it i mean when. two men also but we. look at the biscuit of the hottest. the men are seen feel.
3:12 pm
that assad. has a shot to. get it. a little. bit of the day. the u.s. government was certainly aware of the pro morsi demonstrators on june twenty eighth i think that reinforced to the u.s. government that there was substantial opposition to morsi from different parts of the egyptian political system that he retained supporters. of morsi before the i.c.c. you know to let them in and. who can in. i mean how many to hold it to talk. to me i mean as a man as an says if you develop and if he heard it all that well in the race and
3:13 pm
the whole. year to. be that he. was not on the ballot. met them all of them in it ought has been. made in hollywood of duty in. iraq if it had a lot. more. well akin to a game had nima bought it at that shop it must. look. now that. my idea must. give you know as i. like it was a mission i shed. but i responded to what it was to me. what i shall be my and i want to be. in the zone question. such as the man.
3:14 pm
as far as the opposition was concerned the time for talking and negotiating had pasta some of them began setting up protest camps inside to your square come out i don't want to suppress a young you know i've met a shop in sri you know for the island. well who feels that the yet the know how i let in the thought of being at night welcome went at the sounds you do not believe . but then i. see the mighty democrat the. at the moment somebody. can always overcome it
3:15 pm
and must have. to in. the. end it's in the diamond. with nothing what can. be done about it i think the war flashbacks to what happened and the early twentieth. i think what was most important about human thirtieth is that that was the first indication of the degree of support for the anti morsi movement we were tracking the calls for protests for months in advance all along there were suspicions were guarding the origins of the marad there was a simultaneously a sense that this was very serious because so many people were taking out at the same time that there was an appreciation that while there is genuine opposition to morsi to some degree this was aided and abetted by elements of the egyptian state
3:16 pm
that wanted to see morsi removed from power. the massive protests hundred thirtieth were huge concern for morsi and his advisors but his own supporters were rallying behind him true. meanwhile he believed he was close to a deal with the army and opposition to end the crisis did morsi fail to foresee the catastrophe that was about to ring gulf. in the next episode of earth roy's call to into grouping screwed on a voyage through the woods will see to highlight the importance of protecting this fragile antarctic ecosystem against an expanding list of manmade threats beneath the surface of this magnificent desolation is just t.v. with live music sold the remote is a nuisance on the nz arctic century on al-jazeera. al-jazeera is there with us tory
3:17 pm
breaks but it's also dead to see what happens next which i'm sure. it wired but at that period where mobile is barricaded all the seventh street that leads to here the movies now has been all about change people have gone past the fear barrier the mission of the national army is two thirds the entire complex and al-jazeera story is about telling it from the people's perspective what they think is happening in their culture. this powerful social network is sculpting a global cyber society and regulation is playing catch up but as scandals begin to unfold they will witness here that we should not be in this position. they want as much extreme content as they can get on the cover to gauge how ethics weigh against profits and how the rules are being written. and signed facebook on al-jazeera.

3:25 pm
one which had given a forty eight hour ultimatum. despite the continued ambiguity of cc's actions the presidential team was now convinced that approach was being hatched against morsi by the defense minister by the time that the military issued a forty eight hour ultimatum i think the overwhelming view within the u.s. government was that it was too late that the die had already been cast and the matter what happened short of morsi resigning preemptively that the military was going to forcibly remove him from the position of the presidency. be. a sort of. a guru. as morsi supporters continued their sit in and their presence significantly

3:37 pm
president morsy would only add to the pressures that existed on the us foreign policy security establishment that thought that the few. to. iraq to devolve to for good in the toe also most of the deed of the old covenant of health whom. you have any. one helpful and adam of the most comfy the country it's a summer should have been more than we have a. place at the fatah c.c. . country who ought to be at home and the nanny that i'm in and the mike will feel a deep well of the bad and been. hunted mahmassani we're not gonna with all of that it didn't you know that if i'm in a quad call saw mina. did you know and

3:39 pm
the country woke up to a new reality egypt of the general twenty fifth revolution had become egypt of the july third military coup sisi who most people hadn't even heard of before now had his pictures paraded around the capital after trucks and vans had distributed them overnight one newspaper headlines lauded praise on the army general. in the about though the mood was that of anger and condemnation. as far as these egyptians were concerned the army whose role it was to protect the country but instead led it towards an abyss. to fear math again in the middle east free. while in and over a would more a year there in him. we
3:40 pm
must really. it has into a new stuff in a whole. new. better. when in muslim internet it's. no thought in the can i. get out of. the. c.c. was keen on gaining international legitimacy and presenting the cool as if it were a popular revolution. and that we. had to fit so veteran diplomat somehow medal but i was made vice president and the government
3:41 pm
announced that it would not be cracking down on anyone but in reality the opposite happened every newspaper or t.v. channel and media outlets opposed to the coup was shut down overnight and senior members of the muslim brotherhood in the freedom and justice party and their allies were arrested and mass of total but. how do you. know the sylvia will come and. the misfits saddam to devour the best feed the best and the most to. me. a moment until i see. a young woman i do with. the fact that i was going to playing a role in this new government i think is part of the reason why secretary kerry thought that there was a legitimate chance that the military coup could alternately lead to something that
3:42 pm
would be good for egypt and that would be good for human rights and and that's why he was sincere he played. his face some of the greed that what he was hearing from at the time which indicated that there was an opportunity for real political reform was accurate. word began to circulate amongst morsi supporters that the president's was being detained inside the republican guard compound so a group of them headed there and organized a protest outside. little did they know that in cc's egypt no one would be allowed to protest a massacre took place at the gates of the republican guard compound those inside however were unaware. of what.
3:43 pm
the general us at the time was that keeping morsi locked away or and that he was incommunicado we didn't even know where morsi was there was a concern about what would happen what they planned to do and even if we knew exactly where he was that he was in fact in a military detention center. the view of the united states was that it was not helpful. that's a lot of goma. good idea what they do in the moon is a good. thought in the hand of others about the mounted. on a navy lots of lots of them are there any. set in the far east will. also not at first know. it started to become clearer that despite the massive size
3:44 pm
of the drew thirtieth protests they did not represent all egyptians there were millions of other egyptians who rejected the actions of the military and were insisting on morsi is returned. so the army had to take him as far away from his supporters as possible and quickly. the message comes as a. lot. of batata talk but in the mccann we're about to have the whole plane somehow dead to the promise of that all to the. race. lot. of would. only senator race as time went by and morsi remained incommunicado and the army continued to crack down on its opponents the anger and division amongst egyptian society deepened between those who demanded the return of the president and those
3:45 pm
who began calling on the military to disperse that are by protesters even by force and that's exactly what happened on the morning of august fourteenth two thousand and thirteen the army stormed the protest sites hundreds of unarmed protesters were killed and thousands arrested in what's human rights watch described as the worst massacre in egypt's modern history even corpses were burned seemingly to destroy evidence of the grotesque crime. committed morse's location remained unknown until he appeared for the first time before a court before presidents was confined to a sound proof glass cage in a bid to silence him the proceedings against him continue to this very day his presidency was troubled from the start by a country divided after the twenty eleven revolution and by forces at work within the so-called deep state combined they brought about more season final hours.
3:46 pm
hello yesterday watching a declining storm centered over it took many stand there's still a circulation here as you can see not far way from baku this case the other one disappeared now but this is where the cloud is where you might see some rain a little bit of snow just not much much just touch the northern parts of iran some caspian so you can interrupt you could have a wet day were a shower too beyond that it's fine to west it's fine into the twenty's there fairly reliably on thursday and indeed friday particularly in iraq temperatures are seeming to rise it's just sad because wind directions from the critical thing here down the gulf in particular i was it rather light on existing temperatures in doha are forecast to get to twenty seven but with thursday the breeze is rather stronger
3:47 pm
clatter of the top riyadh won't be as pleasant and it could well be will be quite a dusty day on set yes for friday a little bit better for all concerned but the cloud here could be deceptive showers seem likely occasion in the east and saudi maybe bahrain more likely on the iranian side at least it's down to southeast africa particularly mozambique zimbabwe and below we all still in rainy season and there is more rain to come as well in the form of showers but some of them are pretty heavy.
3:48 pm
with the undertaker working seven days a week that's grown with a community my father purchased a black. store to to do. and we saw the stock being faltering to which i became business partners the stories we are told often here by the people of the. east and undertakers this is europe on al-jazeera. rescue workers struggle to save people in mozambique trapped by the floods caused by die.
3:49 pm
hello i missed and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. every simi automatic weapon used in the tears to take on friday will be banned in this country new zealand's prime minister announced a strict new gun laws following the christ church mosque attacks in which fifty people were killed. embattled british prime minister tourism a goes to brussels to ask for a breakfast extension. and the innu fines of google one point seven billion dollars for blocking rival online advertisers its penalty in just two years. aid workers in mozambique are struggling to rescue site trying victims trapped in flooded areas hundreds of people have been stuck on rooftops and trees for more than. three days rescuers expect the number of deaths to rise so i can eat i has left a trail of destruction across southern africa and mozambique zimbabwe and malawi
3:50 pm
more than three hundred people with diets well al-jazeera as malcolm web joins me now live from in mozambique now can talk us through the scale of the destruction. was really ripped across the whole country where we are right now is there the remains of a bridge here is one of very many bridges across central mozambique that have been damaged or completely destroyed by the enormous amount of rainfall which caused rivers to swell the water level just a few days ago was higher than where i'm standing now that is washed away a couple of sections of this bridge they now know they can cross through the small bunch of vehicles gathered on each side and people are managing to make their way across climbing up and down one of the pillars of the bridge with the help of a cable which is not very safe at all that people really do need to move around to access food lines to find out relatives of survived because the phone networks are completely cut off and it's the same story again and again yesterday we travelled
3:51 pm
along that road throughout the whole of the central region very many bridges have been damaged or destroyed and what that means is that people now can't get the help they need will certainly not by road they passed field after field of crops that were either destroyed by the window rain or submerged by rivers that burst their banks which means of course there's a going to be a food crisis here in the months ahead is because many people here are subsistence farmers those crops in the field their food supply for the head and given that so many of those crops have been destroyed and people are cut off by roads the facing a very serious problem indeed malcolm what's holding up the rescue efforts aside from the infrastructure that we've already seeing destroyed and how is the relief s. it's going to the people who are still trapped. because of this kind of damage to the roads and the bridges and rescue efforts and delivery of food supplies to people who are stranded at the moment depends entirely on air.
3:52 pm
transport and limited availability of aircraft is causing a major problem w.s.p. an official the other day said they'd mozambique to request the south african government for the support with more helicopters but at the moment humanitarian agencies say what resources they have a very stressed they were only able to rescue to prioritize people to rescue pregnant women babies the elderly many more people who were still stranded there just dropping off biscuits high energy biscuits hoping that those people can survive where they're stranded in still they can come back when they've got more resources to actually able to rescue all those people where we passed through yesterday the other side in another part of this district we saw several families on a road their homes to be completely destroyed were still on the water they were sheltering on a raised road because that was the only place in their village that was still above water of course they've got no food left nothing less from their homes they were
3:53 pm
trying to dry some of their clothes on the road no shelter and so on but they've called won't get any help in the last hour until it's brought in. oh malcolm as you say supplies are running short and might soon be remains one of the poorest countries in the wild is it receiving the help from outside the country that it needs to try to deal with this disaster and going forward in terms of reconstruction efforts. more we've seen on the ground definitely not yeah there's a lot of people still in need in the places i just told you about where we passed through yesterday where people were on the raised road just waiting for help so one helicopter circling above made one circle and then left possibly that's a humanitarian agency making a survey of those people they're going to be waiting quite some time before they get any of the help that they need we understand it's a similar situation in several other districts in the low lying on the plains that lead down towards the sea so from what we can see visibly on the ground really not
3:54 pm
enough help and for infrastructure things like this which people completely depend on to trade for food supplies for humanitarian aid that is going to take weeks if not months for big pieces of infrastructure like this to be repaired into these roads to be made passable al-jazeera as malcolm webb on the ground there for us allies in the thank you for that update welcome. the new zealand's prime minister has announced sweeping gun control measures that's after last week's attack on two mosques in christchurch that killed fifty people just into our dan says there will be an immediate ban on military style semiautomatic weapons and also directed officials to put in place a gun buyback scheme the people who already own the weapons today i'm announcing that new zealand will been all military style sumi order medic we friends we will also been all assault rifles. we were banned all current capacity
3:55 pm
magazines we were banned all parts with the ability to convert seeming automatic or any other type of firearm into a military style seamy automatic weapon we were banned pallets that cause a firearm to generate seamy or a medic automatic or close to automatic gunfire in short. every simi automatic weapon used in the terrorist attack on friday will be banned in this country well al jazeera is way ahead joins us live now from christchurch when talk us through what this ban means and how soon we're likely to see it enacted. well there certainly move very quickly haven't they this all came about after the cabinet meeting on monday it was the first time that cabinet members had met since the attack on friday they agreed unanimously that they should be lord changes well a few hours ago we found out the details of those lot changes and they are very
3:56 pm
broad indeed taking i guess the main target here is the military style semi automatic weapons as she suggested now the gunman the main suspect who is believed to have attacked the two mosques he bought weapons assault rifles legally using a license but then he was able to modify them using pots that he had bought online so those weapons then became illegal the weapons that he was able to purchase legally before modification are now illegal under this new law change and there was the loophole where he was able to modify them using parts the purchased online well that loophole has now closed of course this all has to still go through parliament i don't expect there will be much opposition in parliament if any the leader of the opposition has already said that he supports these changes so just expects that this law will come into a into force in three weeks in the meantime people who own these weapons legally
3:57 pm
