a session in his trial on espionage charges during the session he was granted permission to address the judge after the session was adjourned the former president blacked out and then died his body was taken to a hospital and get it. or a challenge looks back now at the rise and fall of mohamed morsi. mohamed morsi sailed into the presidency of egypt on the wins of a people's revolution demanding change in 2012 he became egypt's 1st ever democratically elected president the 1st civilian to hold the office morsi was born in 1901 he spent his adult life 1st as an engineering professor then as a member of parliament and a political prisoner the egyptian revolution in 2011 set the stage for morsi to reach the pinnacle. from the start of his critics accused him of placing his
12:03 am
allegiance with the muslim brotherhood and not the country morsi made a point of repeatedly promising to be a president for all egyptians his opponents however claim he tried to consolidate his power by giving himself or thorazine above the judiciary and dominating the governments with muslim brotherhood members. morsi said his actions were to combat counter revolutionary forces led by the so-called deep state that wanted to kill egypt's nascent democracy those forces included members of the military as well as regional powers namely the u.a.e. and saudi arabia who were vehemently opposed to the arab spring and june 23rd seen in scenes reminiscent of the revolution huge crowds of egyptians filled square calling for their president to step down it was a culmination of the tower of all rebel campaign a movement which was born a few months prior and was later revealed to have been supported by abu dhabi morsi
12:04 am
supporters took to the streets to which emboldened him and he refused to step down instead he made an offer of national reconciliation including forming a new government of technocrats that offer was rejected by the army which days later deposed him ending egypt's historic but brief experiment with democracy stripped of the title of president morsi swiftly became a political prisoner once again he was ultimately tried and sentenced to death for allegedly working with foreign armed groups and crossing a mass jailbreak when guards or killed. numerous human rights groups as well as british parliamentarians and his family complained of intentional medical neglect and warns that morsi is imprisonment conditions would lead to his death if not improved to the end morsi was defiant rejecting the court's authority and insisting he was the legitimate president of egypt elected by the people. sarah leah whitson is executive director of middle east and north africa division at human rights
12:05 am
watch she says morsi was denied medical treatment during his detention he never received the medical care that he asked or he was not allowed to have the food and medicine provided by his family that virtually all other prisoners in egypt are able to be accessed. and he was treated really ask the court greg to put 3 to 4 every time he appeared before a judge for a specialized medical student to take him to the hospital facility to be taken to a medical facility where he could receive adequate care of course he had a long history of diabetes he was a regular consumer insulin he had to purchase insulin from. a money his family provided and his requests were never eat it. well in november 27900 morsi spoke about the conditions of his imprisonment he said he hadn't had access to his lawyers or to any medical treatment oh the since the 20th of
12:06 am
september i've been in prison and i've been isolated that the last minutes in front of me i tried to speak to the court about different problems but the court decided not to him to see me after so many days when they turn on the lights it was very painful i can't see the coat except in shadows sometimes ahead of witnesses and sometimes i don't but i'm speaking very clearly i've got a lot to say to the court i haven't seen a doctor and i haven't seen my lawyers have a right to be seen and to be present i am in a very very bad situation if you treat me in this way i am having morsi i'm extremely worried about egypt the. well the british conservative m.p. crispin blunt led a panel commissioned by morsi family to investigate the conditions the former president was being held and he says what morsi experienced in prison could amount to torture and a full independent investigation into his death should be carried out well it's the least he is our use of former president of egypt has been held in conditions that
12:07 am
we found on the balance of probability actually was so bad in terms of how degrading they were tough they were for him that they could amount to a torture torture is a crime of universal jurisdiction and we found that the responsibility for that would sit all the way up the egyptian chain of command so if they have looked after him properly since i think the venue would be egypt's own interests to establish that raised obviously for permission to go and make a visit say that we can directly make our own assessment of the positions he was held in that was declined so we then had to report on the basis of the evidence that we were able to gain. well al-jazeera is banned from egypt but our correspondent michele has covered the country extensively and joins us live now from doha aren't we hearing from mohamed morsy his family his son specifically quoted by reuters saying that to gyptian authorities have refused to allow morsi to
12:08 am
be buried at the family cemetery do we have any more information about potential plans for the funeral what might happen next. well in terms of what's the state's her wishes to do with the body of mohamed morsi they still haven't announced but based on those statements by ahmed morsi his son. is clear that they do not wish to at least afford the former president that basic rights and dignity even in his death in terms of allowing his family to bury him whether that is because they fear for some sort of popular funeral or it is because they are continuing in that kind of secretive way in which they have been dealing with the former president from the very beginning it's important to note as we've been looking into this story now for some time that it's not just been the intentional mother called neglect but also the psychological issues that have come with the solitary confinement preventing
12:09 am
his family from visiting him only his wife and daughter were allowed on a couple of occasions and that as far as a lot of people around him have been talking around the family have been talking about it also led to the deterioration of the former president's. mental health as well so. that's the information we have but it is important to note we are dealing with egypt where there is very little transparency even the statement made by the public prosecutor's office gave us a little information as to exactly where this was held who was present in it what exactly happened if indeed it even happened today or for happened on another time all of these questions still to be answered. and so could these disagreements over what happens to the body way he's buried the nature of the funeral could it prove to be a potential flash point for tensions in the country. that specifically will be difficult actually because the status of the muslim brotherhood the main
12:10 am
organization which $100.00 morsi was affiliated with prior to becoming president isn't in its best position it is severely weakened the top tiers of its leadership are between those who have been killed those who are next hour those who are behind bars the question is whether this will be a watershed moment for the movement that's had around the demand for his return egypt's 1st democratically elected president to resign whether they will now find a new cause celebre to rally around whether they can create from howard morsi a legacy as the person who personified the free will of the egyptian people through those one and only democratic elections take place in egypt's history and then build upon that that is something that a lot of people will be asking but what's significant to note here and this is something that a lot of journalists will be looking into in the next coming hours if not days miamis that there are other significant figures currently in jail who are also facing similar issues so you have for example of the doctor was
12:11 am
a former presidential candidate himself whose family just a couple of weeks ago issued a statement saying that his health severely his life is also under threat because of the severe deterioration because of the intentional lack of treatment he's receiving there are several others we've had many deaths from the ark of the former general of the muslim brotherhood also who died in jail so this is also indicative of the fact that there are 40000 if not more political prisoners in egypt in the conditions they are being held and is what allows for them to die or essentially what leads to them to be killed as many of their supporters and human rights organizations have been describing it. thank you very much jamal michel in doha let's now bring in dalia family who's an associate professor of political science at long island university and joins us via skype from north brunswick in new jersey and the conditions that mohamed morsy face in prison were documented by independent organizations and human rights groups and the deliberate negligence. appears to
12:12 am
amount to torture under international law is the united nations likely to call for an investigation. so that's one of the critical questions what we have seen in the past few years is organizations like rights lives issue reports that the conditions he's being held in with me to his death we have the parliamentarian from the u.k. say the conditions he was being held in with me to an imminent or premature death we have president morsi himself since 2017 say they're trying to kill me now this is a president 77 that has see no investigation will call for an event and independent investigation into the conditions he was held now in 2015 when my minister hariri of levanon died in a plane accident there was an international outcry and a call by the united nations for an investigation of the conditions surrounding his death the fact that it's already been hours almost a whole day and not a single body of the international organization of the united nations the
12:13 am
organization of african unity the arab believe the oh i see the united states members of the european council have not called for an independent investigation of the death of a wall here this quite telling and so with this indicates is that this karpal on that card that president c.c. in the current an egyptian ministry should have been allowed to operate under of all out war on its own people suppression of voices of dissent upwards of 70000 focal prisoners the disappearance extrajudicial killings that this is continuing to happen and if that happens to the most popular the most renowned prisoner in egypt the former prez and said let me ask you obviously we've heard from human rights organizations and some non-western countries making statements but other than that how do you explain the deafening silence that you describe there of his death. fact
12:14 am
that president or president have said nothing continues the narrative they are accepting repressive off arab spring or genes that are growing in the middle east and all today on the line of their shopping or unfair and what we know that egypt is failing on that front but also that the crushing of the democratic aspirations of egyptians or people throughout the middle east is continuing it's continuing on our watch president morsi it may have you have heard the warnings for years but a sign from me and there have been sounds of bess in egypt in the just presence that have gone unanswered this is a question is this will there be named independent investigation to the conditions of there at the medical of a but also at the legal level where can his family to seek this investigation into the courts it can't happen in egypt will there be independent legal body in the world that will say we will investigate legally what happened to president morsi. a fact may thank you very much.
12:15 am
well international reaction is we're hearing that a morsy is deaf as so far been muted at the end there of catalyze tweeted his condolences to morsi family and turkey's president on called him a brother who became president through democratic means he also criticized egypt's current president sisi saying he set democracy aside by taking power in a coup and is responsible for executing dozens of egyptians well joining me now is al jazeera senior political analyst marama shara and we were hearing that from about what the conditions inside egypt situation inside egypt right now but how will mama morsi be remembered in the region. well certainly his one short term over a year plus in office was i would say less controversial regionally than it was
12:16 am
domestically while he faced a whole host of problems within egypt for all sorts of reasons including the deep state and some illumination by his partners on the left liberal and nationalist camp within the region mohamed morsi was able to be the egyptian statesman that the arabs have waited for a long time so for example in the 1st 10 days of office he. opened communications and visited saudi arabia the same saudi arabia that basically routed against him throughout the elections while. weeks later he visited her on syria had an egyptian president within weeks would visit riyadh done to her on that noah days it's almost unthinkable he was also just as the israel started its war against gaza he was able to bridge both with the israelis and the palestinians and as we saw earlier in the picture he was over to mediate with the obama
12:17 am
administration with secretary clinton a cease fire between israel and hamas in gaza his position on the syrian count of lucian and the syrian repression of the arab uprising there was also a very clear and very important he was able to bridge between tunisia libya and north africa with the east as the voice of the arab spring all of course in the addition to being able to in germany speak against anti-semitism while at the same time be able to be critical of israel and underlining egyptian commitment to the camp david accords while insisting on opening gaza strip to the outside world and reaching a fair was allusion to the policy. question right so you've given us a sense of his achievements when in office but he was a divisive figure and that was that was quite a bit of a position towards him in the country way did it start to go wrong then somehow
12:18 am
marsett ash is that going wrong from the very start because the muslim brotherhood and the islamist camp in general in egypt was over confident and and sooner than later it became clear that the the liberal camp the leftist camp the nationalist the democratic camp if you will within the country felt alienated by a more dominant islamist discourse within the country even an attempt to. concentrate powers within the presidency run elections alone and tried to dominate parliament as well as trying to impose a constitution all of that alienated a good number of the partners but those partners that would anyone it had by morsi and joined the counter revolution in 2013 all ended up either dead exile or in prison so in fact while it was hard times for some of those political
12:19 am
opposition parties that led the arab spring under morsi of course under sisi it became an open season of political repression ok thank you. you at the news hour live from london and we will be bringing new many other stories throughout the hour the united nations threatens to suspend food aid to yemen accusing the who sees of diverting supplies also we follow molly's full army herders on routes they've walked for centuries and trace the history of a conflict that's threatening to spiral out of control and that it's for bangladesh produce some big hissing at the cricket world cup p.t.o. have that story and much more. iran is turning up the pressure of the unraveling of the 2050 nuclear deal saying it will break its uranium stockpile limit in the next 10 days under the agreement
12:20 am
the stockpile can exceed 300 kilograms of low enriched uranium but iran announced last month that it would quadruple its production putting it on course to surpass the limit by june 27th the deal also stops the country from enriching its uranium beyond 3.67 percent but the atomic agency now says it will boost purity to 20 percent which is just a step away from weapons grade levels that deal with world powers in 2015 was meant to stop iran acquiring nuclear weapons in return for lifting sanctions and breathing life into an economy that's been steadily stripped away since the u.s. pulled out last may but watching new sanctions and sending iran into economic freefall while iran's president has on rouhani now says time is running out to save the deal and it's up to europe to provide a solution reports from to iran. a theatrical build up for a final warning to the european signatories of the 2015 nuclear agreement the
12:21 am
message delivered by the spokesman for iran's atomic energy agency that time is running out and i. will mortician the countdown has started in 10 days time on june 27th we will exceed the 300 kilogram limit of enriched uranium allowed under the nuclear deal after that's we will continue to increase the speed of production drastically. and there's a nuclear deal iran is allowed to have 300 kilograms of 3.67 percent and richie reign him at any given time inside the country anything in excess of that amount must be sold internationally but since the united states withdrew from the deal a may of last year it has also introduced restrictions on purchasing any material from iran's nuclear program which means iran stockpile will continue to increase. early last month president hassan rouhani announced tehran will stop exporting its
12:22 am
excess uranium and heavy water for a 60 day period during which time it wants the remaining signatories of the deal to honor their obligations as they announce are not going to break the agreement and there are going to go as far as possible to the threshold because when they break the agreement they will lose european support and for now this is not the iranian strategy to completely go for a clear violation and break of the agreement a number of high ranking foreign officials have been visiting to iran in an effort to save this deal including a rare visit by japanese prime minister shinzo who told iran's supreme leader that he had brought a letter from president donald trump. but i it's a lot of the company said trump did not deserve a response harmony who has alternate authority in iran says the government will not negotiate any further iran maintains it has kept up its end of the deal 15 reports
12:23 am
produced by the international atomic energy agency have concluded that iran is complying with the nuclear agreement iran says the future of this nuclear deal is now in the hands of the 3 main european signatories france britain and germany and president rouhani has warned that the stability and security of the entire region is at stake but many analysts say that without the united states it's difficult to see how this the orca work for such a party al-jazeera to iran or the e.u. foreign policy chief erika more greeny says iran is still within the boundaries of the agreement and the focus now is on keeping the deal in place despite the increasingly difficult circumstances as of today is the compliant and we strongly. hope and courage expect that it continues to comply. with its commitments under disappear in full. and i would not enter into
12:24 am
a blame game at all you know me the interest we have is to keep the nuclear deal in place it's not an easy exercise we've never made a mystery out of it. and since during the last year it has become increasingly difficult for all to keep the nuclear deal fully implemented. this is been our constant focus as europeans the student who became the face of hong kong's democracy movement has been released from prison joshua wang was jailed 6 weeks ago for his involvement in hong kong's umbrella protests in 2014 he's vowed to join the mass protests against a controversial extradition bill the government suspended the lore after millions of people went out onto the streets to oppose it but demonstrators are refusing to back down. until the bill is completely scrapped and the lead to carry has stepped down well in an interview with al jazeera israel mcbride joshua was said the latest protest show the people of hong kong

this hour. iran says it will break its uranium stockpile limit in the next 10 days reaching a key condition of the 2015 nuclear deal the agreement has been on raveling since the u.s. pulled out last may and new sanctions. let's get more on our top story now with their ogham was minister of planning and international cooperation during the last 2 months of mohamed morsi presidency joins me on the phone now from istanbul and i start by getting your reaction to today's developments. thank you very much. the 1st reaction is that we are. facing a complete. action of murder this is a necessary nation crime that must be dealt this way and. a lot of people over the world have been warning against this for a long time we have members of the british parliament headed by a sort of christian plum. who tried to have
12:33 am
a committee visit to look to morsi to examine his health conditions after reports of the security and you know of course egyptian regime did not respond and unfortunately the international community can i just can i just say that but that is very different to what you are saying assassination i mean you can say that yes he was kept in isolation for 6 years that the conditions fell short of the standards within international law that he was denied medical treatment and that was deliberate negligence which all contributed to a deterioration in his health but if that's the case but that's very different from from the language that you're using. well i don't think it's different i mean it is if you have if you if you know that somebody is having diabetes liver problems kidney problems and you prevent him from getting his proper medication you prevent
12:34 am
him from seeing his doctor. i am not sure whether he can call it anything other than move can i also expect that the united nations or do you hope that obviously we've had human rights organizations saying that there should be a free and fair inquiry into the circumstances surrounding morsi is death but do you expect the united nations will echo this this call. well to be honest i don't think so. because there hasn't been any that haven't been any responses would because as i was referring to and there is a widespread support in international support to the current regime in egypt who is actually the number one suspect of this murder crime of talking about so i don't think that they were spawn but we have to keep the pressure we have to listen to the voices of the 3 people all over the world including we want our torch and other organizations talking about that and we have been hearing reports that egyptian
12:35 am
authorities are preventing this according to the son of mahmoud morsi who's been speaking out that authorities are refusing to allow morsy to be buried at the family cemetery what do you expect will happen now in terms of plans for the burial in the funeral. well i'm sure that the gym will never allow a proper funeral for dr morsi i'm sure they will not allow any any kind of gathering for the people or an event like that they will never allow him to be buried property in his his home village which will be definitely out of control what my expectation is that they were they would try to bury quietly the very want area where only his family would be present maybe they were even allowed 70 m. and this is the criminal syndicate do anything but i don't think they will let they will allow any occasion where a lot of people could be gathering for a funeral and a major event like that well thank you very much for joining us. former minister of
