security council meeting is also for enterovirus hong kong's trading status now officials here say that they're preparing for beijing should prepare to engage in a financial war financial war and earlier this week china's foreign minister one isa that actually the 2 countries even worse have been brought to the brink of a new cold war certainly we know that after this move. the chinese central government is planning its own counter measures should the u.s. follow through on those threats and they've said that quite bluntly they'll take whatever necessary measures that they can to protect the sovereignty and the security. u.s. president donald trump will shortly sign an executive order targeting social media companies after twitter labeled 2 of his tweets misleading trump it back saying the company was stifling free speech and threatened to shut twitter and other social media outlets down facebook c.e.o.

mark zuckerberg says it's not up to internet cloud forms to decipher truth from fiction. brazil's president has accused his political opponents of seeking to oust him after his allies were targeted as part of an investigation into the spread of fake on wednesday the supreme court approved police raids on the homes of business leaders bloggers and politicians accused of spreading lies. a shanty town of 4000 people near argentina's capital has been placed under lockdown for the next 2 weeks almost 200 current a virus infections were confirmed the slum has been sealed off and people. without police permission those are the headlines stay with us our 7 man in cairo is next examining the blackout blind eye turned to human rights violations in egypt i'll have more news in half an hour.

in the. euro. and i missed any of the i mean so i may. have even what i did 30. mr dialysis. president abdel fattah el-sisi presents himself as egypt savior as the only man able to impose order in his country. there is the stink smell of tear gas blood and bullets. start to talk to it out all over and then tank hell don't enjoy it any. man fashion of with you know little steps for that

that will be more. despite his human rights record western leaders have embraced l.c.c. as a strategic and commercial partner so they promote clearly little question so that i may think i ma. c.c. was able to say there's a threat from isis you want to defeat it give us the tools and we'll take care of this for here. we have a fantastic relationship with egypt and we appreciate what you're doing but israel sisi really such a good bargain for the west. in april 28th egyptian president of the fatah el-sisi secured

a 2nd time in office after winning 97 percent of the vote yet the results were hardly surprising. there were technically 2 candidates but the other candidate was the most optimistic. in fact the supporter who had stepped into the contest at the 11th hour to prevent the embarrassment of a one horse race. 3 men from within the military establishment had initially challenge house easy for the presidency in a very short space of time all 3 candidates were dispensed with by the c. 3 salmiya not a retired general was charged with breaching military regulations. and consul was a little known army colonel was court martialed and ahmed shafik a former air force commander withdrew from the race after being held in a luxury hotel for a month. both recently president and sisi expressed regrets that no one

was willing to run against him but the situation became increasingly embarrassing for kairos partners in the west. parts of the us government were communicating to c.c. him to those around him that we were concerned about his efforts to drive out every credible poneman to his reelection i think it may even have been addressed by vice president and spun he went to cairo earlier and 2018 so that message was being conveyed. with no real contest the main focus for sisi became obtaining legitimacy through a high voter turnout and. people were promised that they would get pilgrimage to mecca or they would get an approved electricity supply in their town or they would get and use water system.

to live in a little better but then. i think that this is a really. really. thank you. and 2011 the revolution in tahrir square put an end to hosni mubarak's 30 year regime and raised hopes that egypt would become the middle east's largest democracy . but this so-called arab spring was short lived. since taking power in 2030 l.c.c. has ruled the country amid allegations of human rights violations as well as an escalation in armed attacks in the sinai peninsula that have killed more than 3000 people. the jewett is a key u.s.

ally and a major european business partner western countries are often accused of overlooking egypt's human rights record and its disregard of the rule of law because of the country's geo political economic and strategic importance. a case in point is that of an italian ph d. student from the university of cambridge julio regime who disappeared in cairo on the 25th of january 26th. the young italian was found dead 9 days later in a ditch on the city's outskirts his half naked body bore the signs of heavy torture . and of angela to outdoor. in foster care other daughter toward the.

teesta mean to their attitude toward ed of am anyone of every dollar they come up with a song of. their own that office in a state that case they are. the day regina went missing a major security operation was underway in cairo to control protests marking the 5th anniversary of the revolution. the italian authorities suspected that regime e had been arrested that night but the egyptian government denied any responsibility. there was a whole range of lurid details of a fright that rejoined he was the victim of a car crash and later a consummate in the press that julia a 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. and i maybe at the end they came out on national title yeah my saying alan on every battle not every battle that kate gets any on a sort of them and they. can of the callable that are there i'm in danger and i think that. interior minister maggie adèle got far dismissed western suspicions. and here they are united as i don't know why but you can really get them and don't see this as the more he has it i don't know mostly little i don't know when there's our ship i think well let me answer that as. 6 weeks into the investigation the egyptians said they had found raging these killers claiming that they were part of a gang they kidnapped foreigners. a group of 4 men were traveling in a small minivan according to their wives to do a construction job on

a part. of 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 giuliani jennie's personal effect. but just 24 hours later the interior ministry was forced to admit that those men had nothing to do with regime is murder. kathy i love all of the gnostic investing that they have kaido all due to some of the concept that suck it up or so mccain that i think we're. at the other foot of. it when the other man that kicked the sauna came off a child of the necessity i documented. but

the genie 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 regime was a spy. and surely oh. so you would rather live. a lot of money. down upon time into all. that he put in the right mentor corner only gonna start imagining on the dawn of the union leader wanted regime here to incriminate himself and pushed for compromising topics like foreign funded political activism. same usually that alan starting with the news deep in my sharia my son to get the towel and send them out immaturely are the only way you listen i

go see a c.s.i. back to. the college level and age real can. just stick around a bit at he should get up at all in on bass then all that over thought i came out of here that. i can now be the most sort of. sit and. i know it is highly. doubt that it would give any k. . that he knew at that moment that also going to mount any k. with any other pick if he knew. someone imagining the main. battle tank. the union leader reported regime new to the security services just days before his disappearance. the egyptian authorities continued to deny any responsibility for his death.

so there are a janney case came at a particularly sensitive moment for aleisha as 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 sat in the world he plays an important energy i want you boys if you know many people should these friday he probably does only domestically dinner just one provision of zoar gas field is also a major source of profit for any worth an estimated $6400000000.00 to the gas giant it was in any use interest as well as in theses interests to achieve a rapid resolution of this case and so those on the project could go ahead.

the political stalemate caused by regime his murder came to an end 20 italy sent a new ambassador to cairo. she had been shot though. she of the moon shot a 0 she sat a lot for a. diploma i said she. politique a feeling for the. pain so they say she finally ran to the meticulous media in the launch of the middle of their video that was to the baseline confronted of anything phantom interbank to make an idea out of the i'm going on the phone. is lee did resume diplomatic relations with egypt about 3 or 4 months before the software project came online and since then you know the project has been a great success by all accounts. bar of the goal normally go. out

and d.d. only g. doing ality and in the. aid of it all it was she on $1.00 a cheney a go in feet i mean that you both dane de de la motta you never talked to in. years have passed since julio regime is murder in 2016 in italy and elsewhere many people are still waiting for the truth. for many egyptians what happened to the regime he did not come as a surprise human rights organizations estimate that in egypt at least 323 people have died in custody since 2013. $60000.00 have been arrested on

political charges and over $15000.00 civilians have faced military trials including $150.00 children. what has come to be called enforced disappearance is an every day occurrence. to get didn't want to be there for the yam as a b.l. by the in his heart of any of it and in the lower missouri and the law and the how and. why adam had a blood cunt and i think you know how it would end in my fish effect. of you all before the world and said i should know that our son had mad about going to europe and so on it calling in sick when i said where they demanded a family i think a city of all of a couple 7 in the b.c.s. and said if you let me have a quarter. 1000000 with me let me know if you know this but it's who i saw moment. yadav went other with them i didn't do it at the collateral door. argument

hong kong saying it's threatens the territories fritos china's parliament has given the go ahead for the legislation despite protests and international warnings the wide ranging could now be in effect in a matter of weeks. brazil's president has accused his political opponents of seeking to oust him after his allies were targeted as part of an investigation into the spread of fake news on wednesday the supreme court approved police raids on the homes of business leaders bloggers and politicians accused of spreading lies. a shanty town of 4000 people in the argentina's capital has been placed under lockdown for the next 2 weeks almost 200 coronavirus infections were confirmed the slum has been sealed off those are the headlines that stay with us our man in cairo continues next and on how i have the news hour for you in 30 minutes.

in 2011 nobody could anticipate that in just 2 years egypt would once again be under military dictatorship. an american egyptian citizen mohammad saltire got on a plane to cairo and quickly found himself at the front lines of the revolt. 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 life prayers later and in the fame 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 1981. he was gone but his military regime remains largely intact. when the muslim brotherhood's candidate mohamed morsi became egypt's 1st 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 1st 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 48 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 3rd of july 2030 l.c.c. had morsi arrested the new military leadership suspended the constitution and also

arrested 300 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 1st kind for american warships and has provided america with really a very strong pillar in the middle of a very volatile region. when l.c.c. took power in 20. 13 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 2 major thoroughfares in cairo they are not a square and the road in front of iraq or do we have mosque. in august the military cleared these camps with an unprecedented show of force. mohammed saltillo 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 think 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 i think you know what though and i get hit. there is this thing. here again. you can almost taste it and. that of the bodies falling anywhere you look bodies upon baden's. human rights watch documented 817 victims but the number may be as high as a 1000. 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 canceled a joint military exercise and froze part of the $1300000000.00 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 sleep you've got you've got to think shifts keeping with people has one bathroom for 50 plus none of course yours you're forced to strip naked except john where you're being and your head shaved is totally you really. have to go on a hunger strike because it was the only means of resistance. no hard food for 489 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 to your dad you know we can and this just break your strike. there's no law with. no law. in may 2050 with salt on still in prison the obama administration formally reported to the us 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 iraqis from the israelis that the freeze in 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 saudi arabia invested in l.c.c. from early on. in the weeks after his military takeover the u.a.e. alone transferred $3000000000.00 to egypt while the saudis gave a $2000000000.00 central bank deposit $2000000000.00 in energy products and $1000000000.00 in cash without the very extensive economic support that the egyptian military got from the gulf states for example in 2013 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 support came with a political price. in 2017 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 protest since

2030. but l.c.c. rode the storm and kept the aid flowing. egypt has at times or saved much larger sums of money with new 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 will form only. 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 3 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 20112012 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 2013 e.u. member states agreed to suspend deck sports to egypt of any equipment that might be used for internal repression. yet 12 out of 28 e.u. member states ignored the suspension. since 2040 italy has a exported weapons to egypt worth some 40000000 euros. germany has made deals for over 1600000000 euros including light arms and onward vehicles and france has topped all the rest with over 6000000000 euros in sales including combat vehicles like those reportedly used in that up. massacre. the faceted in a possible police are down the list the fact the little folly put me off when i see . 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. shock you can suddenly visit take you to spare her cos of the despair centers on the temple on a democracy a disease that mr centers and plate but. post the problem with the mccourty book preventing mattie. it exists and it affects only per. se your live on going into the seam the field is a fail because of a disadvantage is it. you don't then i'm in for some question except the cook and not done the listen so many of the given him a piece in on than those of simply not clearly. there were questions so that i may think i'm up they can produce an argument superman so you've got this poseidon in

feel for. where they just. go back it up. to me that i did it and then let's go on this thing that's in the cia which had only been back it up policy and here fredricka. and you know did you want to get on the. unconfirmed leagues from the area reveal horrific pictures of the egyptian army's brutal crackdown amid increasing concerns for the civilian population. for all the force to point the egyptian army has yet to regain control of the area while armed attacks appear to be spreading through. to egypt in nov 27th president announced the final offensive to a school. for the school. for.

thing that is standing between egypt becoming another province of an islamic caliphate and stability and security and safety. in 2016 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 egypt as a partner to improve security and counterterrorism signing a cooperation deal in 2017. i'm guns which to be a fact of. the hides a contest to does money. on. on tens of hides in nike and psych the cyber criminality for good as a till this morse internet based on people mostly given fester to dust in it get.

don't even want to begin to imagine what we're going to have. in 51015 years. some in europe have become complacent they have accepted that this is the egypt will have to deal with 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.
