later a consummate in the press that jewelry jenny was gay even though he wasn't and that he'd been killed by a gay lover and there were suggestions that he had been taking drugs and this was perhaps a drug deal that had gone wrong. but at the end i may get there and take him out on the shuttle italia my sing out and on every battle not every battle that katie gets any and all sort of them and they. counted the colaba out of their time in danger and i think that. interior minister maggie abdullah gul father dismissed western suspicions. of the i used it as i don't know why but you can feel good and don't submission as the more he has it i don't know most of the laws in the in this hour should be well usually only at best. six weeks into the investigation the egyptians said they had found dredging these killers claiming that they were part of

a gang they kidnapped foreigners. a group of four men were traveling in a small minivan according to their wives to do a construction job on an apartment. out this vehicle approached a police checkpoint the police opened fire and killed everybody inside. later that afternoon the police officers went to the homes of these people and lo and behold what they find but time jewelry jennie's personal effects. but just twenty four hours later the interior ministry was forced to admit that those men had nothing to do with regime is murder. a level of the nost investing that they have all due to some of the concept that is so knocking. at the other foot. a queen the other man that kicked up a sauna came off

a child of the necessity i documented we are. allegedly had been in egypt researching trade unions including the use of the local street vendors. a year after his death suspicions emerged that one of the leaders of the street vendors union was a police informant he had become convinced that regina was a spy. as you. say it doesn't live. down upon time into all. that it put in the right men take on. account of stuff going on but on it the union leader wanted regime here to incriminate himself and pushed for compromising topics like foreign funded political activism. i'm usually the island of stability for news in my sharia

authorities continued to deny any responsibility for his death. so there are a janney case came at a particularly sensitive moment for elations between egypt and italy because at that very moment the italian energy company annie was in the process of developing the largest gas field in the eastern mediterranean called zohar in conjunction with egypt. went on its own is something game changing very neat thing when she took the diminutive that was a school bag. for geology given that if i started i would want to be plays an important energy i want you plays if you know many people should these friday you probably don't need a messy dinner just one provision in the zorg us field is also a major source of profit for any worth an estimated six point four billion dollars

a surprise human rights organizations estimate that in egypt at least three hundred twenty three people have died in custody since twenty thirteen. sixty thousand have been arrested on political charges and over fifteen thousand civilians have faced military trials including one hundred fifty children. what has come to be called enforced disappearance is an every day occurrence. it didn't want to be there for the yam as a b.l. by then his heart of any of it and in the lower missouri and the now and the how and. adam had a black cunt and i think you're an outward in and my fish affect. of it all before the innocence of the shadow of the ever sun had mad about all of europe and so on if an insect with as it were the demanded if the media is sitting all of a kewl couple seven in

hello i'm maryanne demasi in london just a brief look at the headlines now saddam's military council has announced new measures following talks with opposition groups on a transitional government it says it might allow political parties to decide on a civilian prime minister but it wants the interior and defense ministries to be led by military personnel the council also says the country's intelligence and security services will be restructured. i covered by that the studio.

i'm still be restructuring of the national intelligence and security services the council has an urgent plan and has issued a number of decisions in the name of the transitional military council we've also taken a lot of the recommendations from the meeting with the media. meanwhile outside the army's headquarters in the capital khartoum protest as a not backing down on their calls for a civilian government to be installed immediately the demonstrations have continued ever since by shares stood down on thursday and the military took temporary power. well to libya now the un backed government says that the military has shot down a fighter jet belonging to warlord fully for after whose forces have been advancing on the capital tripoli these pictures appear to show the aftermath in the south of tripoli in the area of y d r rugby after us forces say the plane crashed. the white house is standing by donald trump's tweet about muslim congresswoman despite accusations he has put her life at risk president trump selectively quoted

a speech by ilhan omar making it look like she was downplaying the nine eleven attacks press secretary sara saunders says omar deserves the criticism well in other developments in the u.s. a new candidate has entered the race to take on president trump in next year's presidential election peter is the latest in a series of hopefuls and to get the nomination the opposition democratic party the thirty seven year old would be the youngest ever president if he's elected and the first openly gay candidate for the white house. and tiger woods is celebrating one of the great sporting comebacks my winning gold smallest as at the age of forty three woods completed a one stroke victory around the augusta national course for a fifteenth major title is comes eleven years after his last victory in a major tournament since then he has had personal problems and he has suffered severe injuries. i'll see you for the news hour in twenty five minutes time by now

. in twenty eleven nobody could anticipate that in just two years egypt would once again be under military dictatorship. an american egyptian citizen mohamed saltire got on a plane to cairo and quickly found himself at the front lines of the rebel. thousands of people gathered outside the presidential palace.

i was crying my eyes out i thought for sure they were going to fire the thing we were going to die i'll say my last prayers literally and in the famed moment. the army turns on the speakers of the announcement. a former air force commander hosni mubarak had been the face of egypt's military dictatorship since one thousand eight hundred one not he was gone but his military regime remains largely intact. when the muslim brotherhood's candidate mohamed morsi became egypt's first democratically elected president the military worked to undermine him from day one. by

concentrating power in his own hands and with the economy in freefall morsi lost the support of many egyptians. many egyptians who had supported the idea of the ouster of president mubarak suddenly turned around and said hold on this is also not what we want and suddenly you had a brand new type of conflict inside egyptian society. when hundreds of thousands of protesters poured into the streets on the first anniversary of morsi is election the egyptian military exploited the situation to remove. l.c.c. who morsi had put in charge of the army gave him forty eight hours to come up with a political solution. both morsi himself and his senior advisers did not see this coming they knew there was opposition they knew that there was this can and but

they didn't think the egyptian military would actually move against them in the final analysis on the third of july twenty thirty l.c.c. had morsi arrested the new military leadership suspended the constitution and also arrested three hundred muslim brotherhood party members and officials the initial attack on morsy supporters soon expanded to include all political opposition to l.c.c. . egypt occupies a position of strategic importance for the west in the middle east it is israel's next door neighbor and controls access to the suez canal. if in a very simple bargain the united states has provided egypt with a large amount of military aid every year and in return egypt has you know kept the peace with israel has provided access to the first four american warships and has

provided america with really a very strong pillar in the middle of a very volatile region. when l.c.c. to power in twenty. thirteen relations began to crack there was a general willingness to try to work with the new regime out of the interest in preserving the bilateral relationship so they were willing to give the new military regime an opportunity to prove themselves l.c.c. soon showed the obama administration was he was capable of and the weeks after the military takeover morsi supporters had occupied two major thoroughfares in cairo they are not a square and the road in front of iraq by allah do we have mosque. in august the military cleared these camps with an unprecedented show of force.

mohammad sultan was there his father a deputy minister in the short lived muslim brotherhood government was amongst those addressing the protesters from the stage. here i was taking pictures come back put my phone on wait for things not a con and then tweeting taking phone calls from c.n.n. al-jazeera this and that. i mean i have time to think and if you know what though and i get hit. there is this thing. here again. you can almost taste it and. that of the body. anywhere you look bodies upon moderns. human rights watch documented eight hundred and seventeen victims but the number may be as high as

a thousand. united states strongly condemns the steps that have been taken by egypt's interim government and security forces. we deplore violence against civilians president obama cancelled a joint military exercise and froze part of the one point three billion dollars in military aid to egypt receives from the u.s. every year. but l.c.c. continued his crackdown undeterred. prison. this my face. i have been a face you've got to flee you've got you've got to think shifts keeping what people has one bathroom for fifty plus not of course yours you're forced to strip naked except john know where you're been and your head shaved total you really. have to go on

a hunger strike because it was the only means of resistance. no hard for four hundred eighty nine days. they would bring my dad to the next ward have let me hear his screams and. come tell me listen this is what's happening here that you know we can and there's just break your strike. there's no love for these guys. no love. in may twenty fifty with salt on still in prison the obama administration formally reported to the u.s. congress that arbitrary and unlawful killings were taking place in egypt yet at the same time the u.s. officially resumed military aid to egypt. l.c.c. remains their man to be reckoned with in cairo. your hearing concerns from the saudis from the amber roddy's from the israelis that the freezing assistance to

egypt was counterproductive that they were pleased with that there was a desire to i think address some of their concerns. the united arab emirates and. the arabia invested in l.c.c. from the all. in the weeks after his military takeover the u.a.e. alone transferred three billion dollars to egypt while the saudis gave a two billion dollar central bank deposit two billion dollars in energy products and one billion dollars cash without the very extensive economic support that the egyptian military got from the gulf states for example in two thousand and thirteen i don't know whether they they would have carried out the coup or they would have been able to make a go of it. saudi arabia and support came with a political price. in twenty seventeen l.c.c.

agreed to give the disputed islands of tehran and sun a few which sits between saudi arabia and egypt sinai peninsula to the saudis. the decision was hugely unpopular in egypt and sparks the biggest protests since twenty thirty. but l.c.c. ruled the store and kept the aid flowing. egypt has at times or saved much larger sums of money with newer allies particularly in the gulf but the aid from the united states is symbolically very important diplomatically very important and it's not something they want to see she was able to say that there's a threat from isis you want to defeat it we're your partner give us the tools and we'll take care of this for you and he would make the argument that egypt is too big to fail if egypt does collapse if the islamists run amok or the economy goes

down this is going to have to sastre its consequences for the region and for europe . the european union has trying to strike a balance between legitimate security concerns and respect for human rights. but many member states have adopted a business as usual policy. but unfortunately we still have a very weak common ground in europe when it comes to how to deal with egypt. a dutch member of the european parliament not each a shocker initiated a resolution that condemned human rights violations in egypt however she does that leaders of the influential member states i believe. we very much pointed out that human rights repression violations. executions torture censorship closing of n.g.o.s is not acceptable and you want to hear such

strong words from let's say berlin or paris or london very much for three years shock a push to get the resolution through the european parliament besides denouncing the high number of death penalty executions and the lack of fair trials in egypt there was another point she stressed. i think we've learned some very important lessons in two thousand and eleven two thousand and twelve when we found that e.u. made systems were actually used to track down activists in egypt and so ever since we've been pushing in the european parliament and i've been leading the efforts on the export controls of surveillance systems to make sure that human rights are criteria to measure before an export license is granted and despite this statement of principle we see that in practice such export controls are not really lived up to in fact there are serious questions whether it may be the case that julio regina

who was brutally murdered may have been tracked and traced with italian maid systems and software. after the robber massacre and twenty thirteen e.u. member states agreed to suspend the exports to egypt of any equipment that might be used for internal repression. yet twelve out of twenty eight e.u. member states ignored the suspension. since twenty forty italy has a exported weapons to egypt worth some forty million euros. germany has made deals for over one point six billion euros including light arms and onward vehicles and france has topped all the rest with over six billion euros in sales including combat vehicles like those reportedly used in that up. massacre.

left positive in a possible down the egypt the fact little folly put me off when i see dumb to people what is it on religion city and the amount of it since she was old enough to see this as good multiphase don't let's all be like that are. they for same song called school approve of his o.c. don't. you can suddenly visit take a despair because of the despair centers on the temple of democracy a disease that mr centers and plate but. post the problem part of cory booker mattie. it exists and it affects only purveyor but it's a you only live on been in. the field is a fail because of a disadvantage is it or you don't then i'm in for some question except the cook and not the usual modern day listen to the many other good animal piece in london

thousands simply not clearly. there were questions so that i mean they can produce an argument superman so you've got this was the nearer democracy yet i guess you'll all city yet i guess even on the archaeology you manolo me say if you will additional. dancing or that's all bullet i'll celeste headlee to delusion always deadly violence has been on the rise in egypt especially in the sinai peninsula the northeast corner of this remote region has become for european leaders one of the middle east's hottest front lines against all groups the c.c. government appears to be struggling to contain this threat of islamic state militants who are based in the sinai and of course now with the effect of collapse of islamic state power in iraq and syria there are indications that at least some of those fighters are now coming from those areas into the sinai but it's hard to

know what's really happening if you sign as the independent media have not been allowed into the area for years. to keep imagining for a feel for. where they just. don't back it up. to me that i did it and that's going this thing that's in the cia is that anybody but get up out of the interior of the. media and you know to join a good and. unconfirmed leaks from the area reveal horrific pictures of the egyptian army is brutal crackdown i mean increasing concerns for the civilian population. for all the force to point to the egyptian army has yet to regain control of the area while armed attacks appear to be spreading through. to egypt in nov twenty seventh president announced the final offensive to the school. in the school.

or to stop. all s.-chip. for his method is that he is the only thing that is standing between egypt becoming another province of an islamic caliphate and stability and security and safety. in twenty sixteen an attacker deliberately drove his truck into a crowded christmas market in berlin with lethal consequences after paris and london this was yet another deadly assault inside a european capital. the german chancellor angela merkel turned to reject as a partner to improve security and counterterrorism signing a cooperation in twenty seventeen. i know guns which to be a fact of somebody. m z had a contest to does money egging him out on. on danzig heights question and i'm in i

turn. a protest by an egyptian medical student was drowned out by as he sees all too chanting. it is a great honor to have with us today presidential c.c.v. with donald trump's presidency l.c.c. look forward to friendly relations in washington tunes everything that you've done . and i know you appreciate everything that we've done. it's no secret that trump has an affinity for dictatorial figures he's explicitly embraced c c in public he's called him a strong leader as someone who's really getting stuff done. at the same time russia and egypt have grown closer bloodier putin and l.c.c.

have visited each other several times with financial deals and military cooperation on the agenda. what we're likely to see is that egypt is going to simultaneously pursue relations with both moscow and washington in order to ensure that they are not in a position of some serviettes to our global power while the egyptian government is looking for partners who don't ask uncomfortable questions it remains to be seen how washington's long term priorities evolve i think for president trump he's perfectly comfortable returning to the way things used to be where the u.s. was perfectly happy to trade off the mark received for security and. that working with a dictator is completely consistent with his worldview. foreign policy is by definition the pursuit of a country's interests. as l.c.c.

continues his stranglehold on power the question becomes is it really in the west's interest to continue supporting him unconditionally. on the security aspect i think it's fairly clear he hasn't delivered he hasn't defeated the isis which are the isis affiliate with from the sinai most estimates place that group up between eight hundred and twelve hundred people that's not a very large entity yet over the course of five years he's been incapable of fully finishing off this group according to those who've seen egyptian prisons from the inside and repression torture prison conditions and the conflation of all dissent with terrorism may prove to be counterproductive in the long run. a missile to the brain if enough assume is a nested how would the next minute release and then with the lady scilly me in this moment chafing in the going way then the meek and i guess the same prison. in the

sixties seventies and eighties. produced islamic jihad movements that gave birth to that then grandfather and isis i don't even want to begin to imagine what we're going to have. in five ten fifteen years. some in europe have become complacent they have accepted that this is the egypt will have to deal with that i think it's a mistake i think it will come back as a boomerang. there's an enormous amount of young people in egypt they don't have enough perspectives they don't have enough perspectives. for prosperous life a life they can shape the way they would like they are the future and they should be at the heart and at the core of what the e.u. does.

a fighter jet belonging to the warlord. five years after they were abducted parents of the hundred chip books girls make a plea to the nigerian government to do more to bring back that door says. the approach. brought in for a procedure. young christian a military veteran and indiana may have already launched his bid for the white house. and i'm we are hearty mendo here with all of your sport tiger woods has done it and he has an eleven year drought with a win at the masters. welcome to the program saddam's military council has announced a raft of new measures following talks with the opposition on

a transitional government it says it might allow political parties to decide on a civilian prime minister but it wants the interior and defense ministries to be led by military personnel the council also says the country's intelligence and security service will be restructured. i go. by that this. will be a restructuring of the national intelligence and security services the council has an urgent plan and has issued a number of decisions in the name of the transitional military council we've also taken a lot of the recommendations from the meeting with the media. meanwhile outside the army's headquarters in the capital hard to in protest as on not backing down on their calls for a civilian government demonstrations have continued ever since bashir stood down on thursday and the military took temporary power. well for more on this story we can speak to lend a bit shy she's an international law and politics analyst joins us live from washington thank you very much for speaking to us can i you've obviously been

following another round of talks between the military and protest organizers does it seem to you that we have more clarity on how the country is going to be governed in this transitional period. that's a good question i think that every day and every announcement give us a little bit more clarity but the situation remains very volatile and there are still many different ways it could resolve itself so i don't think we're really on the clear path just yet i believe that the latest announcements are generally positive but it is still i would say concerning that. there is a general ham out to who is known to have been very violent and brutal in darfur and is in charge of the rapid support forces still considered part of the military

council and some of the insistence by the military council that they will retain control of the military and the ministry of interior so i think it remains to be seen just just how many concessions they're willing to make i suppose the main problem is the fact which you point out that the those that make up this military council are basically individuals that prominent positions under the regime of president bashir when you say there are many different ways this could resolve itself if the military don't provide the the right concessions of the opposition refuses to back down could that be do you see some sort of violence or instability potentially coming about. that's always a high risk there are many different disaggregated militias and security forces in sudan and it's not entirely always clear what their orders are and where they're

coming from we still don't really know where omar al bashir is and under what conditions he has resigned and the same is true for the former head of the national intelligence service and. we're not sure how much freedom and influence these men still have as well as many others who would be unacceptable as as having any kind of power to those who have been organizing the protests and to the opposition parties another sort of indicator that things are still extremely volatile is that there are still shots being taken at some of the protesters it's extremely important to recall that these protests are historic for being nationwide there are protests organized in across the country in most of the major cities and just two days ago we saw some some shots and casualties and deaths in darfur so we really are still dealing with an extremely unpredictable situation

the fact that we have. a person in charge of the the military council with whom the protest parties are willing to meet and have conversation is positive i think it's extremely important now for the neighboring states the african union the international community to to maintain strong pressure for nonviolence for. for a peaceful. respect i just i just came to proceed to get you'll fill it on just one point because we have seen such swift change in sudan off to thirty years of rule by we have seen protests that started four months ago but we need a moment in the last week result in. shares stepping down but then also the man named as his successor being forced to leave clearly it's not going to be easy to dismantle the regime completely do you think the protestors will have to accept

that they might have to share power in some shape or form with this military council are they likely to to agree to that. i think you're right there is going to have to be a series of concessions on both sides this is not going to be simple it won't be short it will take some time i think it will be very important that certain symbolic measures are taken to build the trust of the protesters so that they believe that there is a process towards which civilian control of security forces will be the end goal it won't happen quickly but i'm sure that there are measures that can be taken a number of steps that will increase the likelihood that the protesters will be satisfied i know that this is a critical moment for them to to maintain coherence it will be very easy for them to disagree on what measures are acceptable when compromises are being offered so

it's not clear what what final measure will actually tip the balance and make the protesters comfortable enough to believe that the changes is real and not not artificial because i think right now there's still a strong sense we see clearly that they're they're not backing down that they believe this change is artificial so far thank you very much for your insight on this lend a bit shy joining us from washington well al-jazeera has had the morgan has been following this story closely from heart to him and joins us now and here but just picking up on the point our guest is making there about how far the opposition is potentially prepared to compromise and what's acceptable to them what's been the immediate reaction to this latest meeting between the protest organizers in the military. one of the protesters who are at the protest organizers who have been now making the calls the process not just for the

past nine days when the sitting in front of the army headquarters was it was organized but for the past four months the sudanese professional association are saying that their list of demands are still not met they want a purely civilian or transitional government with no supervision from the military council so there's been a debate about the military council and its mandate and what it can do and it can do simple a tickle parties want an independent transitional council with some representatives from the military but they don't want the military to take control the military council on the other hand is saying that they need to be in control because they want to enforce rule rule of law in order and they said that they will be very hard if they're not in control and this also the period of the transitional government the military council is talking about two years political parties are asking for four and mariam we haven't actually discussed the people in the in the political parties and the military council haven't discussed how they will appoint a prime minister the military council is thing that's it's coming blank to the table it's ready to accept anything offered by the political parties that is there

are all to build this government but they haven't agreed on how to decide on a prime minister how to decide the members of cabinets so there's a lot of questions unanswered and they're likely to be more talks when to get the answers out maria and so on on that point about how a prime minister for any civilian caretaker government is now appointed are there any obvious leaders that could potentially fulfill such a role from within that the protest movement. well at the moment there are so full candidates but the fact remains that the political parties are not all on the same page they have different list of demands there are some common and mutual factors in their demands which is the freedom of expression freedom of media more reforms the national security intelligence services better accountability for those who are part of the regime that is one

thing they agree upon but they don't agree on how to go about it for example the sudanese professional association which as i said is leading and spearheading the calls for the protests and is largely seen as the main body representing the thousands of people on the streets is saying that the national intelligence and security service which is responsible for targeting dissidents and clamping down on the media and on the protesters should be abolished completely while other political parties say a simple reform is all they need so at the moment that the opposition parties themselves are not united so it would take some time and a few talks between them and the military council to figure out a way to form a transitional government whether it's independent or whether it's one supervised by the by a by the military council but bottom line maryam is there is a lot to be done after the past few days where we've seen a different president taking power and people protesting saying that their list of demands is not met and that their revolution is in complete thank you very much for the latest from khartoum have been morgan. to libya now the u.n.
