4:01 am
a large crowd of protesters has been gathering president donald trump says he's spoken to george floyd's family and has offered his condolences he also described the incident as a horrible thing to witness and he said it looked like there was no excuse for it. donald trump is cutting u.s. ties with the world health organization claiming it's being influenced by beijing at a press conference the president stepped up his anti chinese rhetoric announcing plans to strip hong kong of its special status with the u.s. in response to a new security law alan fischer reports. unusually for a news conference at the white house president only trump opted to use a teleprompter and stuck to the script but in the week where the number of 1000 deaths in the u.s. went through the 100000 mark the president used the occasion to cut ties with the world health organization and returned to calling it the ruhani virus china has total control over the world health organization we have detailed the reforms that
4:02 am
it must make and engage with them directly but they have refused to act. the president has been angry about china's trade practices since before he took office the protests this week in hong kong o.b. zhang's decision to extend security powers there has added to that anger hong kong has had a special relationship with the u.s. but the president wants to punish china and says hong kong special status is no more my announcement today will affect the full range of agreements we have with hong kong from our extradition treaty to our export controls on dual use technologies and more with few exceptions we will be revising the state department's travel advisory for hong kong to reflect the increased danger of surveillance and punishment by the chinese state security apparatus president also
4:03 am
announced he was imposing sanctions on chinese and hong kong officials but i think this is the the amount of actions that he and house as well as the severity of actions that he did announce depending on the implementation of these actions this is probably the nuclear option that this initiation of do you think china will react and respond i think china has to respond in this case there are so many actions that the trump initiation announced today that if they don't respond and domestically the leadership risks looking weak to their domestic audience president trump gave a long list of grievances about china's economic actions there's nothing new there he's done it before what was interesting in his 10 minutes in front of the cameras he made no mention of chinese president xi a man he regards a strong a man he's praised in the past even for his handling of the coronavirus brick. alan fischer al-jazeera at the chinese embassy in washington and russian president
4:04 am
vladimir putin has ordered 2 of his ministers to hold talks with the syrian government as moscow seems more military facilities and maritime access russia already has to pound into military sites in syria and the sea international says ethiopia has failed to stop human rights violations despite political reforms introduced by prime minister abi ahmed 2 years ago a report finds persistent patterns of violence among police regional special forces and local fighters into the areas between january and december last year ok before we go let me take you back to live pictures from minneapolis a curfew has just gone into effect this is downtown minneapolis close to the police station that was attacked and some of the shops were looted as you can see crowds are on the streets there no sign yet of the national guard. will be seen in half an hour.
4:05 am
and i missed any of the i mean so i may. have even what i did 30. mr diallo just to hear the. 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 the 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 with with us now
4:06 am
a litmus test 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'm a. 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 out of fatah el-sisi secured
4:07 am
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 mr 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 sea 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
4:08 am
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 when 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 improved electricity supply in their town or they would get and use water system.
4:09 am
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. egypt is a key u.s.
4:10 am
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 . elton of angela talked with outdoor. in foster care other daughter toward the. north
4:11 am

4:12 am
probably a drug deal that had gone wrong. and 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 on a sort of that meant they. counted the colaba out of their time in danger and i think that. interior minister maggie abdullah gul father dismissed western suspicions. and here they are united as i don't know why but she actually could be a good and done service as the more it has i don't know most of the laws in the in this hour shift well let me answer that as. 6 weeks into the investigation the egyptians said they had found regime 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
4:13 am
a construction job on an apartment. 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 thought giulio jenny'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 a level of the nost investing that they have kaido all due for some of the concept that suck it up or so mccain that i think we're. at the other foot of the command enjoy it when the other man that kicked the sauna came off a child of the niceness a critic i documented.

4:15 am
age real can. just stick around a bit about only known boston all terrible 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 make a. that if you knew at that moment that also going to mount any k. with any other pick if you knew. someone imagining that on 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.
4:16 am

4:31 am
large crowd of protesters has been gathering president donald trump says he's spoken to george floyd's family and offered his condolences he's also described the incident as a horrible thing to witness and he said it looked like there was no excuse for it the u.s. president has terminated the united states' relationship with the world health organization accusing it of being controlled by china in a wide ranging statement lashing out at beijing he confirmed the u.s. would end its special treatment of hong kong and he promised fresh sanctions for chinese officials the united states wants an open and constructive relationship with china but it civi that relationship requires us to vigorously defend our national interests the chinese government has continually violated its promises to us and so many other nations these plain facts could not be overlooked or swept aside the world is now suffering as a result of the malfeasance of the chinese government russian president vladimir
4:32 am
putin who has ordered 2 of his ministers to hold talks with the syrian government as moscow seeks more military facilities and maritime access russia already has 2 prominent military sites in syria. honesty international says ethiopia has failed to stop human rights violations despite its political reforms introduced by prime minister abi ahmed 2 years ago a report find persistent patterns of violence among police regional special forces and local fighters in 2 areas between january and december last year hundreds of poor colombians are to be evicted from their hillside homes in the capital bogota local authorities say the slums illegal residents say they've got nowhere to go during the country's coronavirus lockdown and those are the headlines will be back in about 25 minutes go by.
4:33 am
in 2011 nobody could anticipate that in just 2 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 rubble. thousands of people gathered outside the presidential palace. i was crying my eyes out i thought that for sure they were going to fire and we were going to die say my last prayers letter and in the fame moment. the army
4:34 am
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.
4:35 am
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 egypt and 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
4:36 am
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
4:37 am
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 by mosque. in august the military cleared these camps with an unprecedented show of force. mohammed salt 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
4:38 am
back to 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 i think what though and i get hit. there is this thing. here 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
4:39 am
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 get this my space say i have been a 5th you've got to sleep you've got to 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 been in 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
4:40 am
have let me hear his screenings and. come tell me listen this is what's happening to your dad you know we can and there's 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
4:41 am
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
4:42 am
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 tried to strike
4:43 am
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 met 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
4:44 am
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
4:45 am
massacre and 2013 e.u. member states agreed to suspend the exports 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 down leadership defect little folly put me off when i see. what is it on religion then the amount of it since she was old enough to see this are you voting
4:46 am
is don't let's all be that are. very far same song called. republic of sea don't. shock you can suddenly visit take a despair because 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 yard but it's a you only live on when intelligence is you perceive 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 the usual modern day listen to the 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 beside the
4:47 am
nail of democracy yet i guess you feel. your 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 on 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 slotnick 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 in northeast side as the independent media have not been allowed into the area for years. imagine you
4:48 am
feel for. where they just. don't back it up. to me that i get it and that's when i won this thing that's in the cia he said anyone but get up out of the interior of the. media and you know to join a bit and. unconfirmed leaks 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 to 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 the school. in the school. for.
