government has spent $40000000000.00 so far he also said ankara may host a 4 way summit in october with france germany and russia to discuss the conflict in syria's a province and the refugee crisis that now a businessman is causing a storm in his native egypt by posting videos on social media detailing alleged corruption by president abdel fatah sisi and on the generals. who worked as a military contract to 15 years says they wasted millions of dollars on villas hotels in a seaside palace he's posting from spain where he lives in self-imposed exile the videos have attracted more than a 1000000 views. i wonder why spend a huge amount of money building these houses i never understood his decision was he staying in a one bedroom apartment of course not the problem was that safety's wife didn't want to sleep in the same home with mubarak's wife stayed taken. to

a new level i built a 5. palace for the president and a military camp in cairo i built a home in alexandria for the c.c. family despite being an official residence in the same compound the modifications demanded by cc's wife cost more than one point $5000000.00 the army also ordered me to build $125000000.00 hotel in cairo is 5th siegelman. let's discuss this and more with our feet can with the fire his chair of the egyptian community association here in the u.k. accusations of corruption in egypt and nothing new and perhaps won't come as a great surprise to many egyptians both inside and outside the country but why do you suppose these videos have sparked so much interest and fascination i think it because this would use come from an insider and as well it exposed the tip of the iceberg of the scale of the corruptions among the high ranking military in egypt i

think it's very serious blow to see this is a regime to see such details turns on probably hundreds of millions to spend on palaces in villas. commissions money siphon abroad i think this is terrible and of such and the country is very poor look egypt where people probably garbage. i mean we haven't seen documented proof or evidence of these allegations mohammed ali hasn't provided that and we it's also emerged that his company is a good sum of money by the government over the can over some infrastructure projects so perhaps he has there might be a most of that he has some monetary interest does that deserve some consideration or at least some caution in regard to these allegations i'm sure he had fallen out

with them as part of the rings of corruption but. the fact he have given names given addresses and given details and facts and you should be looked at and seem to me in egypt the judiciary the police the government to sort of are not willing to can action just so degrading what is this about not addressing the facts the facts he said which seems through to everybody listen to it like we serve. should this online campaign continue might the government take some serious measures for example to block internet access in the country i would be surprised i don't know how much limitations they can do but i would imagine they would do and i fear for the life of muhammad wholly the contractor who exposed this because it simply means is a lot of shock inside the military. in egypt

and his some being arrested because egypt is quite a very opaque country no information i cannot really clarifies things and that's a big problem but for egyptians i think most of them know because he'd given facts so 1st time to hear we know this corruptions we know there is money been stolen from the country and been taken abroad but we never know how much or way or but he mention names of generals many many generals which is very disturbing in a country of almost total tourney a feat mustapha thank you thank you. well now some news from tunisia 2 days before the country's presidential election a court has refused to release a leading candidate now being a car we ending the verdict in his corruption trial lawyer announced the court's decision on the final day of campaigning despite allegations of tax fraud and money
