a model 17 june $29000.00 morsi appeared in court for a trial on charges of espionage he asked a judge if you could speak to him the session in what is now his final address morsi demanded a special tribunal and better trial conditions the public prosecutors say the 67 year old man collapsed and died in a defendant's cage. unless all of us a little help the you know how medical source has revealed the details of the medical condition of mohamed morsi who died monday afternoon due to a surprise heart attack during a court session for the espionage case the source added that morsi had continued to receive medical care and that there was no neglect to his medical condition in and out of prison. but human rights groups say egyptian authorities ignored multiple warnings about morsi untimely death because of inhumane prison conditions that he

was singled out for mistreatment. in the 1st 4 years of his detention you had exactly 2 family visits he was held in solitary confinement for nearly the entire time it was mention he never received the medical care that he asked for he was not allowed to have the food and medicine provided by his family that virtually all other prisoners in egypt are able to access last year a panel of british politicians and lawyers said treatment in prison was so bad that it could amount to torture. a project that if you didn't get the appropriate medical treatment he may very well have a premature death and of course rise out of. 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. come on now here are the more they are worth a lot of air and the man who sits at the top of the chain of command is egypt's current leader preston uphill for the c.c.

the former army chief ousted morsi in a military coup in 2013 and since then has locked up thousands of people as political prisoners this is the outcome that the egyptian government guys wanted for years or morsi and also for other brotherhood leaders like. they don't want necessarily to execute people because of. the execution it would create but they want. there now calls for an international investigation into morsi steffen court while his life in prison seemed entirely north by the world priyanka gupta odyssey. mohamed morsi sailed into the presidency of egypt on the winds 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 of power from the start of his critics accused him of placing his 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 in june 2030 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 town root or rebel campaign a movement which was born a few months prior and was later revealed to being supported by abu dhabi morsi 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 profiting a mass jailbreak when guards were 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 he was defiant rejecting the court's or thorough and insisting he was the legitimate president of egypt elected by the people. of the world after morsi is death people in new york voiced their anger about the way he was treated since being forced from power demonstrations to. city istanbul the muslim brotherhood has been calling for egyptians living abroad to march in front of egyptian embassies and consulates. around. the present. has paid his own personal tribute. in our eyes mohammed morsi is a martyr who lost his life while he fought for the cause he believed history will never forget the tyrants who. put him in prison threaten them with the death penalty and caused his martyrdom we formed a close friendship with him before he was elected as president and preserve that

afterwards morsi who was put on trial by a court established by the code most ration and sentenced him to death gave his last breath in a courtroom and this is a symbol of the cruelty inflicted upon him and his people for years but we were cattle or sheep to mean been home in the tiny also tweeted that we have received with deep sadness the news about the sudden death of former president dr mohamed morsi i said my sincere condolences to his family and to the egyptian people. let's join rami korinos a professor of journalism that the american university of beirut and senior fellow at harvard kennedy school joins me now from beirut good to have you with us on the program mr corey before you get into the nitty gritty of mr morsi and the muslim brotherhood let's just talk about the various voices from around the world that have been here on al-jazeera varying opinions on the man and the president that was mohamed morsi in and out of prison what was your overall impression of him. he represents the tragedy and the glory of the modern arab world its success is on

its failures he was born in $1051.00 which is just before the army took power in egypt and the military rule in arab countries has been one of the greatest constraints on the normal development of arab states for the last 70 years or so and his life captured the tremendous desire of people in the arab world to try to transition to democratic systems but never being able to do so and then when he won election he was the elected incumbent legitimate president of egypt and here in the muslim brothers proved to be total failures at governance partly because the military in the background was was not letting them do it but in other places all around the region the muslim brothers when they shared a rebel or were really incompetent they just couldn't govern properly and then he was overthrown and the worst thing now with this death is of course it comes as

part of the counter-revolutionary counter democratic transitions in the arab countries with with the gulf countries like the u.a.e. in the saudis with the egyptian government working closely with the americans the israelis and others to prevent any kind of opening in their world so his life and companies brief incumbency and his death really encapsulates everything that anybody needs to know about political governance in the modern arab world and this is an ongoing story as it is in algeria and so that it sort of suggested all of a scene in your in your recent article in which i read with interest because you're also quoted in saying that and as you just mentioned he represented everything it was good and bad about political authority in governance in the past centuries of arab state and you've summarized everything just there as well where does this leave the muslim brotherhood you know it's an organization that some would describe as political some. screw ping news philosophy sort of crosses borders it's

certainly a north africa i mean in terms of the relevance of this group where other opposition groups weren't able to you might say be to overthrow a military regimes or famine family dinners stevie's this organization has managed to stand the test of time and continues to do so why. this sort of reasons for that 1st of all they are a religiously based political activist group and they combine the strength of religion with the power of activism especially when they challenge. all kinds of oppression colonial administrations sinus threats from israel autocratic authoritarian arab regimes any kind of oppression that arab people have suffered has been met by muslim brotherhood and other islamist groups for the last 70 years or so other people have done this as well nationalist communist leftist progressive

democrats but none of them got anywhere and the muslim brothers are still there and have spawn dozens and dozens of other islamist groups and it's partly their courage and determination and partly the fact that they are acted in religious values which resonate deeply with people all over the region and that's why you've got the governments all over the arab world in egypt in the gulf and other places branding them terrorist groups because that's the only way they feel that they can try to suppress them but the reality is that they are still there under the under the radar and that what they represent is not an explicit political movement but a human organic desire to live a normal life in your own country and how that manifests itself will be shown very much by what happens in a jury and sudan where you have widely. continuing protests that are very. so evil in nature rather than. the religious and the combination of these

2 is really what's going to shape the future of the world while the authoritarian regimes with goals money is solid islam about islam particular try to push back against us indeed of the many millions that are watching al-jazeera english they'll be perhaps a little bit confused in the sense that what you suggest in the in the politics of how the arab world works it is interesting in the sense that what they are seeing is a democratically elected president who's been jailed for 6 years with scant charges and died in court and yet the man you say that he overthrew hosni mubarak overthrown in jail released and now living maybe in the house arrest but still living a life the injustice there of the incarceration is something that some of our viewers will find very hard to sort of digest looking at the politics and the law within

egypt. it is hard to digest and the the the double agony for ordinary arab citizens we're talking of 400000000 arabs who have been demonstrating for their rights nonstop for the last 2030 years and erupted in 201011 erupting again now the double tragedy is that the counter democratic forces the saudis a majority is egyptians israel is supported by trump directly in most cases it's explicitly he said a few months ago that sisi was doing a great job these counterrevolutionary counter democratic forces have become much more brutal now than they were under mubarak or nasir or other people before the the extent of the depth and the brutality of what the egyptian government is doing and other governments are doing and jailing tens of thousands of people arresting people simply because of an opinion they express on social media preventing any

kind of free media all of the things that are going on as well as torture and fake trials and all of these things this is much much worse than it's ever been and the arab world and the crackdown on the muslim brothers in particular as well as all of civil society there's really very little space for any independent media or civil society activism in the arab world any more this is the double tragedy that it not only was morsi in the muslim brothers and their civil civilian allies in the democratic forces all across the world the progressive forces not only were they crushed after 2012 but the pressure against them has become even more brutal and it's really good now in a way that the focus of the international media is heavily going to be on prison conditions in egypt in the same way that it's focusing still on the role of the

crown prince and saudi arabia and the murder of her children it is. these things need to be exposed to daylight and analyzed honestly and accurately unlike what the most of the our governments are doing in their own situations and dana i think the situation will certainly create debate for a long time in the future for the moment kerry thanks so much for joining us again from beirut thank you. right still ahead here on al-jazeera we'll look at the risks for venezuelans crossing the border into colombia hoping to get basic supplies to stay with us. hello there it's still super hot for many of us across europe most of us are seeing the whole weather but no it's in the northwest we're still what the swirling every

year of cloud that's given a sim heavy rain we've even seen some flooding across parts of the british jobs and there's more clouds still to come that cloud and rain is ensuring the temperatures stay lower than they might do so $21.00 degrees will just be the maximum in london but $28.00 in paris and as iraq as well even spain is warmed up now we're up to around 30 in madrid and for the eastern parts of europe also very very warm here but in that hot weather we are seeing some thunderstorms develop and some of them could turn out to be a little bit lively that we with us again as we head through the day on wednesday for the other side of the mediterranean there's plenty of sunshine here it's hot in cairo at the moment 38 degrees will be our maximum but this was the west it's more bearable force and i'll talk temperature only getting to around 21 or 22 degrees as we head through tuesday and wednesday for the central belt of africa where there's more showers here and some of them a pretty heavy we're seeing them rumble their way towards the west all the way from uganda there further westwards and all the way across towards get born and cameroon doesn't like cameroon is going to see the majority of those showers as we head

through tuesday but even further west along this coast we can expect some downpours .

but the market watching are just there with me so robin a reminder of our top stories egypt's 1st democratically elected president has died after collapsing in court while on trial for espionage charges egyptian state t.v. says mohammed morsi had a heart attack he'd been in prison since 2013 when he was toppled after less than a year in power and morsi has now been buried in cairo after the government refused to allow a funeral in his hometown the muslim brotherhood says it holds current president of the c.c. and his government responsible for what they call the planned criminal killing of morsy. now the u.s. is sending a 1000 more troops to the middle east hours before making that announcement the pentagon released pictures that it says shows elite iranian troops removing an unexploded mine from one of the 2 oil tank is hit by explosions last week i did your castro has more. the u.s.

interests the u.s. relationship with iran has deteriorated rapidly since president trump withdrew from the 2015 nuclear treaty citing the rands engagement in this whole development and supporting proxy armies since that the us has imposed and ever tightening noosed of economic sanctions on iran washington calls it a campaign of maximum pressure but even leaders have been promoting another term maximum restraint you have seen that already in the last days we've called for the maximum restraint and think back to a particular wisdom have been the words that secretary general of the united nations with that issue when he says that the world cannot afford another crisis especially in an area like that iran's decision to increase your reining in production has led some in the u.s. to hughes tehran of nuclear blackmail washington flexing its military might only add to the tension and the fear of confrontation heidi jocasta. al-jazeera.

a candidate trump promised voters america 1st policies he made good on that pledge and angered u.s. allies and now saying he would withdraw the united states from the paris climate accord and pull out of the 2015 agreement to limit iran's nuclear program still the u.s. economy remains steady even as trump has picked fights with china mexico and europe accusing them of unfair trading practices expect trump to boast about a strong u.s. economy and historically low unemployment even among voters of color despite persistent criticism trauma's policies hurt minority voters. we know that florida is a state that's becoming increasingly brown and i think that's a that's a state where he's going to have to address that issue another problem for donald trump trying to convince voters to look past at least 15 investigations in 3 states looking into trump's business charity and campaign and even with the muller report
