me at the cia since 1975 believe in the same way that their ancestors did living in the forest in the jungle and it seems like they're abandoned by everybody on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. although i'm adrian forget and this is the live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes lebanon in crisis a 4th but has to resign says the cabinet meets to discuss the elections. the highest profile arrest yet of the hong kong's controversial security law media tycoon jimmy lie is accused of colluding with foreign forces. on the streets of bella reuss after

a presidential election that the opposition says was rigged. at a washington court issues a summons against saudis crown prince it follows claims that he ordered the hit squad to kill an intelligence agent in canada. and in sports call thing looks to have a new superstar in the making in only his 2nd appearance at a major championship point how much has won the u.s. p.g.a. championship. lebanon's capitals is facing rising pressure to step down as a 4th government minister resigns tensions have been boiling over in the country following the massive explosion that told through beirut on tuesday the finance minister joins the biggest us for justice the environment and information in bowing to public pressure and leaving government that been 2 days of violent protests in the capital with more planned on monday 9 m.p.'s have also quit parliament

al-jazeera said to hold a joins us now live from beirut so the cabinet meeting right now as we speak. yes they are in session and it is highly likely for the government to resign already 2 ministers resigned yesterday 2 ministers this morning what we understand is that there are behind the scenes negotiations on trying to form a new cabinet because this is the situation right now those in power know that they need to quell the anger in the street they're under a lot of public pressure but they're also under pressure from the international community the international community wants the government has been demanding that this government carry out much needed reforms and fight corruption in the state in order to be eligible for much needed financial assistance because we have to remember there was a financial and economic crisis in this country before that blast so the

international community has really little faith in this government so now we are expecting the government to resign there's behind the scenes negotiations between the different political parties the 11 on the traditional political parties on agreeing on the names the makeup of the government as well as the name of the prime minister what we understand from a variety of sources is that there's still no agreement on who the next prime minister will be now if you ask anybody in the streets what does this all mean for them nothing has changed the only thing that has changed is that the current government is considered one sided it is controlled by one political camp in the country which is pro iranian and if indeed a so-called national unity government is formed then you have the pro iranian camp working hand in hand with the pro western caps so the main political parties still in power so there's a lot of anger really in the streets what are they doing what are they doing they

haven't changed anything but changing the political elite which have been really in power for so many years is quite difficult but it seems this whole diplomatic initiative. it's france is behind this initiative the french president was in beirut just a few days ago and he did mention that he proposed a political initiative and he gave the different political factions until the september is until september 1 in order to come up with some sort of an agreement some sort of a government that can manage the crisis in lebanon. what would it take to satisfy. the people who are on the streets even if a new cabinet is formed and they ultimately end up calling early elections you're still left with lebanon's broken political system. yes they want to change in leadership they want new faces they want independent candidates people who they believe are qualified people who are loyal to the state

people who are not loyal just to their particular sect or. political party people want to state the lebanese state is very weak state institutions are controlled by political parties and they also don't want to see a parallel state run by hezbollah so these are the demands of the people but they are under no illusion that they're up against the big big challenges because those who are in power control the security establishment and they run the economy to the ground just look behind me these are people standing in line waiting for food handouts food water clothes 50 percent of the population. below the poverty line 32 percent of the workforce unemployed so economic hardships in this country the blast compounded people's problems 300000 people lost their homes they're not there now displaced so people want change they they blame the political parties who have been governing this country for 3 decades for for corruption for

negligence for for not even providing the basic services to the people this is a country where there is no 24 hours tricity power outages sometimes the electricity only available 2 or 3 hours a day so people want something different but it doesn't seem that this is going to happen it's not that it's not going to be an easy process even if early elections are held there will be held under an electoral law which the political elites crafted themselves to ensure that they return to office to ensure that no independent candidate is able to win a seat in parliament so anybody thinks they don't zuzu in the whole of the live for us in beirut is a researcher at the lebanese center for policy studies he joins us now via skype from beirut that he may have heard me talking to were to say to that what do you make of that last point i put to her that even if there are new elections you're still left with this this group electoral system that's just not could be enough to

satisfy people who are out on the streets is it. yeah of course i mean it's important to remember that elections are a tool that stylish men uses to reproduce that's on our and this is one has a range of tools and i watch as one of them so we must ask ourselves what kind of early elections would be holding are they going to be accountable and transparent what we the kind of mechanisms that would allow for real elections to take place and for alternative political actors to emerge from these elections stick been calling for 4 years elections under the current without structural reforms without changes will only you know to a reproduction of the code unquote legitimacy that this political claim stop so what would it take to enable complete structural reform of the process the electoral process there the way that the government operates in lebanon i mean you almost have to scrap it all and start again do you don't you but how would you do

that. yeah i lost you there for a bit but i think you were asking about the concept reforms that we would need to though it was i mean we under the current secretary and structure of the state elections operate according to sit there and lines there is a lot of gerrymandering in the law there's a lot of clauses that are incorporated into the structure of the electoral law so that they guarantee their readers reappointment so we need an independent commission commission to oversee those elections but we also need an independent commission to be cast with drafting this new electoral law and not allow it to end up being manipulated by different political parties who as we know spend months and months over. the components of this electoral law because they realize that a lot of this electoral battle that they waged is pre-determine based on how they can figure that and we've seen this before it's taking them years and months sometimes to agree on an outlook torah law so whether we can come up with an

independent commission to oversee this process that would be the 1st step and the 2nd step would be guaranteeing that there is an independent commission that's equal to the common goal of enjoyments we see all the russian that occurs and the campaigns under abundance afterwards when they don't participate in elections we see the vote buying but takes place how they use financial as a as a tool to guarantee winning elections so while now the context is very good friend and what it was in the previous elections those things are still there and they need to be addressed before we can even consider the possibility of early exit elections was a transitory process into it and you lot went on bet has really honestly classed itself from the current political establishment that has driven the country where it is today could be many thanks indeed for being with us and here. police in hong kong have made the highest profile arrest yet under a controversial national security law imposed by beijing media tycoon and activist jimmy lai has been detained with 6 others linked to his pro-democracy apple daily

they're accused of colluding with foreign forces hong kong journalists association says it's a worrying development for media freedom to 07 o'clock reports. police made the arrests on monday morning detaining jimmy lie at his home encounter in the founder of the pro-democracy newspaper apple daily is well known for his criticism of china's communist party he's been arrested on suspicion of foreign collusion under the national security law imposed by china last month this morning at around $945.00 together with our colleagues on the criminal investigation department and military staff we got a warrant to conduct an operation to search for evidence i wasn't the only arrest on monday 2 of life sons were also arrested more than $200.00 police raided apple delis headquarters detaining senior executives including the tabloids chief executive officer detective search computers and interviewed staff many are shocked

and horrified including myself and i think this is send out a very very negative message and of course it must have a chilling effect on people who want to speak out and particularly on the news media so this is a very very disturbing the ballot long the national security legislation targets acts of subversion terrorism secession and collusion with foreign forces the maximum penalty is life in prison critics say the legislation is being used by china's leaders to silence the opposition and crackdown on democracy in the semi autonomous region the hong kong journalists association says it's a worrying development for media freedom it never happened before in hong kong in reason perhaps at that case we've seen that perhaps in in for it well cities and countries but but we never expect that that would have happened in hong kong. happen causing direct and indirect threats through press freedom and

journalists monday's arrests of the most high profile under the national security law which was introduced just over a month the guy a number of countries have condemned the legislation including the united states united kingdom astray and canada but the government here has defended the new york state think it's crucial to restore order to a city that's been plagued by months of protests sarah clarke al-jazeera hong kong . well media freedom is protected on the hong kong's basic law the territory has long been a base for foreign media companies reporting in china apple daily newspaper staff says they arrests say the arrests of their colleagues are a step towards the end of free and uncensored media in hong kong the immigration department has already been making life difficult for foreign reporters with media organizations reporting months long delays for visa applications immigration offices of revoked visas from journalists working for international publications

including the new york times the times responded by announcing that it's moving its hong kong based digital units to south korea's capital seoul stephen vines is a political commentator and author based in hong kong he says there's a crackdown taking place right now at all levels of society. you don't give that level of happiness a teacher rate if you don't want to send a chilling signal to the rest of the media and in case there was any doubt at least briefing after the initial raid but the police excluded media who they said not been cooperative with the police in the past we've never seen this in our gulf what normally a press conference is a press conference is open to the media this again is another new thing that happened today i think the message is very clear it's we don't like dissident opinions the reporting of the news should be in line with the narrative that is

expounded by poaching the space for criticism in hong kong that's narrow very considerably i mean the rest of the media is more or less under control so presumably they will continue to operate but at every level now in the schools in the universities in the media there is this crackdown going on and this is within just over a month since the national security laws introduced it been an escalation of a clamp down at the speed that even the most pessimistic people didn't expect would happen china has imposed sanctions on 11 well known americans including citizens marco rubio and ted cruz it reciprocates us action because of china's crackdown on kong the us as far as the american assets of hong kong's chief executive kerry lamb as well as 10 senior chinese officials. a court in the united states has issued a summons against the saudi crown prince in relation to the former intelligence

agent saddam jobbery the court order also covers 13 other people including residents of the us saddam joe brief filed a lawsuit accusing saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon of sending a hit squad to kill him 2 years ago he's now in canada where police and private security guards are reported to be giving him increased protection we can seeking legal reaction from the united states and speaking to a saudi human rights activist in europe what mohammed beside mine is doing is no good for nobody because at least to belie station and saudi arabia is a very dangerous situation i was well known to be up up 6000000 people if any trouble can happen and assist them but he out couldn't even drink water because we get our water from the red sea and from that arabian gulf so saudi arabia is a very in a very vulnerable state and having a lead that like mohammed is not taking things to

a more safe state also we've seen that mohammed with the man talking about starting relations with china and america so the old alliance between america and so if you're arabia is not even above you it by so the. routine lamothe been silent is willing to walk with the americans or europeans or will ever will. and the following terror that how much are they willing to walk away an undemocratic behavior on. war crimes if anybody is not willing to lay his hand he will cut relations evenly. the summons delivers the complaint to the various defendants that obligates them under our federal rules to answer within 20 days so it means that now the case is gearing up 20 days is not a long time. but i think having myself litigated many cases under the torture

victim protection act that it signals that m.b.a.'s will now vigorously lobby president trump in secretary of state might prompt a 0 to issue what's called a letter of suggestion of immunity it's rather an odd. realm of law but basically it asked the court to dismiss a case because it would interfere with the foreign relations of the united states in relations with a head of state or high level officials it is not required that a court accept a suggestion of immunity by the state department but the cases i've litigated they've given great deference to it but that means that november will be critical for saudi arabia. under that doctrine president biden could revoke any suggestion of immunity and reinstate the cakes but i can guarantee you right now

saudi arabia and the crown prince are talking his head off with come peo in trying to get me out of this conundrum. here with a new sound from our sara still to come on the program attacked while on safari france's president announces the killing of aid workers in asia. pakistanis has restrictions for a 2nd time in months despite warnings about the coronavirus pandemic. in schools a look at the stake groups from the player who had a night to forget a major league baseball far away with that and the rest of the school's little later. in pain a roost one person has been killed dozens have been protests following the presidential election which the opposition says was rigged 3000 people have been detained by police early official results show

a landslide victory for president alexander lukashenko that would extend his 26 years in power and the 6th time laura bush manley reports. the sounds in the police to go away and then scenes of violence reflected across kept. dancing a few hours off porth of closed and continuing into the night opposition supporters came out in the thousands to contest the initial election without. right beneath block the entrance to the lot where fights stun grenades into the crowds and police trucks drove into protest of. i mean once is rush to take the injured into hospital. protest as he put up barricades on to the main roads to prevent police cars from guessing that. earlier in the

day they can does it set nona to the mosque that has come out of hiding to costs have that she had left her apartment on the eve of the election fearing arrest at 1st a reluctant presidential candidate that she had grown into the biggest hope many palin missions have for change to enough sky and election rallies attracted the largest crowds by lisa in the decade i was the microphone was. off to cost him his votes president alexander lukashenko called the opposition group yes he did but i'm not sure what you still need if you're going to go against our country or even in the smallest way try to plunge the country into chaos and stabilize it you will receive an immediate response from me for decades enjoyed solid support in the former soviet country lately facing criticism for downplaying the covert $900.00 prices and worsening economy criticism that is rapidly growing

to the largest practiced 26 year rule for some of the most credible reports suggest it looks like a support the country may be well below 10 percent so i think there is a real shot that some some security officials say will not be willing to fire on protesters if that's something that negotiate that warders them to do and we all really hope and pray that he doesn't but even so potentially even go over to the side of the protesters. while the school authorities may have been able to control the opposition using force this time people say and show they have beyond. the orbit of money and deceive. others are a step is near the capital minsk and joins us now live it's been incredibly difficult step up to report on what's been going on that day internet outages what's the latest you have. exactly we have been

internet there have been internet blackout blackouts for the last 2 days so it's very difficult to get reports of the situation here and better roads to the outside world images everything that happened last night during these hour long protests where there was a serious clash with police people have been injured we saw a police truck ramming into protesters who were sitting on the highway and one of the protesters was actually carried by the truck for hundreds of meters ambulances were on the scene everywhere but on state television it was just a very short mention of some angry youth but what we saw in reality was thousands of very very angry and frustrated people who immediately 2 hours after the polls close to took to the streets not trusting any of the announcements about the result people are not shocked that alexander look at shanghai has declared victory but they're very shocked that he now says that he won with more than 80 percent and

that this opposition has been growing for months and weeks recently that they only got less than 10 percent the main candidates for planet kind of guy so yes there is a lot of anger here so what is the opposition going to do you know. yes the protests will definitely continue there are more protests announced for tonight but the opposition is very worried about the bloodshed as we saw the situation last night with the police coming out in full force they're very concerned and they also say backers also in the legal battle they want to fight this election result in court which of course could take months or maybe even longer for a decision to come out but they here for the long run they say this is not something that's going to be solved overnight but this is definitely the beginning of the end of the president of they say and we will win eventually and they said

today already they have already won because they have overcome their fear and also their indifference to politics like what they had for many years in the past many thanks they don't. live from near the better russian capital minsk many thanks indeed for bric is director for central and eastern europe at the german marshall fund the director of the fund for bail reuss democracy he joins us now live via skype from berlin is there any doubt in your mind that these elections were massively rigged does it does it even matter in the we always expected them to be rigged given what's going on now with the protests on the streets. well the elections were clearly rates for select on the look at trying to have a history of manipulating it since 1900 or since it was elected for us there has been no single election that was considered pretty and fair but it was a european election monitors or 2nd we do have some evidence from

a number of polling stations yes. there are local election commissions this fight it for free and fair count of the off the ballots and about 40 stations diametrically opposed results to the official results most of the stations alexander lukashenko didn't get more than in or 15 percent of the votes there is the official results with him at $88.00 so there is clear evidence there's a history of manipulating elections and ok and what are we to make of the number of protesters who are out on the streets this time has been or is seen anything like this before. not since the early ninety's. i think we've lost the signal to your brain he thinks your good you can still hear me but the signal has

a budget in neighboring i cheer nigeria to liberate a region in particular is known over the years as a hot spot of attacks by extremists and armed groups i had that within asia across the border in brooklyn a fossil or mali. dozens of people have been killed this year including security forces leave here security forces were being targeted by these fighters like we said no claim of responsibility yet but the biggest surprise is that after the last attack that killed dozens of security forces into a region the government has sent in reinforcement to that region to deal with the rising cases of attacks by armed groups and fighters in that region of the surprises that the. animal reserve is just 65 kilometers away from the capital niamey and a lot of military roadblocks and police roadblocks out on that highway

a lot of people who are concerned that if this attack can come close to the capital of the army and a time when you is preparing for the presidential elections in 2021 then a lot of things could likely may likely happen during the election in across nisha on the border with nigeria the border with particular fossil and the border with money. a bomb blast in pakistan's polluters town provinces killed 6 people and injured at least 15 of us it targeted a vehicle from anti drugs forces in the city of chum and in the border with afghanistan has been no you claim yes of responsibility. pakistan's government is lifting partial lockdown measures and forced since march as part of its coronavirus response well the number of confirmed infections has fallen in recent weeks it's feared that official figures could be innocuous as i was 0 samus rather reports from karachi summer rain storms in pakistan's most populous city did

a better job of keeping most people indoors than the partial lockdown being lifted this week the port city of karachi has been the hardest hit by the corona virus the government says infection rates have dropped nationwide and it's safe to resume public life but not everyone agrees resign a bill some is a teacher when they called 900 outbreak closed schools he began a free service to supply coronavirus patients with oxygen cylinders to help them bleed ground realities. exist at extreme level in pakistan pakistani community population of pakistan the people are not taking it seriously rather they are not taking it at the reality. he normally has dozens of tanks but in the last week they've all been sent out he's down to his last to a sign he says that people are still getting sick and it's too soon to lift the lockdown but months into the crisis even partial restrictions on public life seem

impossible to enforce and easy to ignore the government push to ease restrictions is politically popular i want to normally go here and people whose livelihoods have suffered say it's also necessary you know no honest. measures taken because of the coronavirus have completely shut down business i don't have the words to explain how much loss there has been for poor people it's been devastating it's a view many customers share they want to me off countries video to see we are from a country everything depends on the economy. i agree that the do not buy this is also tracked but if you take precautions along with good enough i think the economy should open and we should allow people to look during recent public holidays precautions were not a priority and now people are gearing up for another major public event the country's independence day markets like this are all over the country pakistan's government says for the sake of the economy it's important to keep them open but

it's part of health experts are concerned crowded public areas where people are not worrying about where there is no social distancing these are the perfect places for the virus to thrive pakistanis are quick to say years of hard living has made them more resilient to the virus than most. but there is also the fact that there are too few tests and too many people and with so many taking the threat lightly medical experts say the real number of covert 1000 infections is likely much higher than official tally then with ravi older 0 karate. the death toll after a landslide of the tea plantation in the indian state of carola has risen to 49 search teams are still looking for more than 20 people who've been missing since the landslide on friday heavy rain hit the plantation in a dukie district when workers were sleeping more heavy rainfall is expected in the state with a red alert issued for it to come. and storms of course flash flooding in northern and central greece at least 7 people have died roads in several places upon blocks

of houses damaged floodwater and gulf streets increases 2nd largest city thessalonica dozens of people but evacuated from affected areas rescue workers used bulldozers to lift some of those stranded to safety. it's got some weather now jenny see those floods are they related in any way to the heat wave to discover the europe is sweltering i guess they could possibly be because there has been some thunderstorms across the region but also this time of year as you say john you get is heating in the day the clouds build up and then what happens is eventually the rain comes out of these clouds and so this does produce some very strong thunderstorms but yeah i mean for the most part it is fairly case cause i can show you across into europe but indeed there all those thunderstorms that have been developing in the warm hours of the day now of course for the most part people are enjoying the warm sunshine savior into northern hungry since now in many many countries of course here we go see them in northern germany and even up into the north in scotland into the highlands very nice kiss on the skies there it won't

last there but again this is somewhere else in greece this is a little village just the north west northeast actually of athens about 100 kilometers away and again this was due to a severe thunderstorm that happened very suddenly some torrential amounts of rain but also that caused 2 rivers to overflow so that caused the flooding that you can see is a go through monday more those rain chance they will be developing that could be some thunderstorms and at times these thunderstorms could be quite heavy they could also house and damaging winds in them too so that could cause some damage but through cheese day the rains actually becoming more widespread now it is having some impact on the temperatures so for many people this might be quite good news because the temperatures have been and still are well above average for this time of year so through choosey you can see why we've still got this deep dark red colors and that of course is where the highest temperatures are so again for london look at this we're looking at 11 degrees above the average should be some showers though over the next couple of days that will begin to bring the temperatures down it certainly will into paris it will scattered thunderstorms and some shows and

then finally in bordeaux a similar story so as you can see the temperature really comes down by the end of the week agent so the only problem is these then still could be dangerous but it's cooling down eventually many thanks indeed. still to come here on the news of. this . worst idea that very people. facing wrongful arrest will look at how the use of force full recognition software impacts black asian and native american people in the us how did sport professional surface return to the waves for the 1st time since the coronavirus looked on the details coming up a little later. a story of financial scandal with billions lost in the united arab emirates i've never seen a story like this where 2 companies similar time history involving the same group

it is good to have you with us hello adrian figure here in doha with the news hour from al-jazeera the headlines lebanon's cabinet is facing growing pressure to step down as a 4th government minister resigns public anger has been boiling over after a massive explosion tore through the roofs last week. hong kong media tycoon jimmy lie has been arrested on the china's new national security law his company says he's being held on suspicion of colluding with foreign powers. and the u.s. course has issued a summons against the saudi crown prince in relation to a former intelligence agent saddle jobbery whose time canada filed a lawsuit accusing prince mohammed bin solomon of sending a hit squad to kill him 2 years ago. has recorded its highest

number of corona virus deaths in a single day all 19 fatalities were in the state of victoria which is at the center of a new wave of infections most were connected to care facilities for the elderly the state capital melbourne also saw the lowest daily number of new cases since last month from innocence scott morrison says he's hopeful that drastic lockdown measures are beginning to have a positive effect. the official number of corona virus infections in the u.s. is now past 5000000 but there's concern that the true figure could be much higher health officials are urging the use of face masks and social distancing this was the scene though in south dakota the weekend were over 400000 people gathered for a 10 day motorcycle rally in the city of sturgis notice there is mike hanna has more for us from washington. well at the moment it's mainly in the midwest of the united states at least 14 states are showing an increasing rates of infection

california is particularly hard hit and compounding the problem in california is the fact that the system of testing has basically broken down the data flow to central agencies to be able to track the pace of the infection of the corona virus has actually not working at the moment so this is a major issue because of the infection rates are continuing to rise in california but health officials are just unable to actually track the path of the virus because of this delay one bright spot is new york state which has now recorded the lowest rate of infection in a single day since the beginning of the pandemic it's down well below one percent now but generally across the united states there is still an uptick in the rates of infection in many areas now and some are arguing that because the spiking rarely takes place mainly in the outdoors and chances of infections drop a little however officials also point out that the real danger is at the end of the

day when people gather in bars or around campfires that there could well be a spread of the infection but this is what has been happening in a number of states and it's accounts for the fact that the rates of infection are increasing in number of states opened up too early and number of states do not enforce a mask mandate a number of states have dropped mitigating measures completely and as a result you're seeing this ticking in the rates of infection. it's been more than 2 months since the killing of george floyd at the hands of police in the united states and as process continue the message is no longer just about specific incidences of violence but about what demonstrators say is systemic racism and policing one of the most obvious examples is the widespread use of facial recognition systems that have been proven to misidentify people of color al-jazeera shihab rattansi reports. when black lives matter activists take to the streets that

clip they're not protesting against a few bad apples in police departments but a system of policing that's wittingly or unwittingly targets people of color and they say needs to be completely overhauled the widespread use of facial recognition software by police forces apparently unconcerned by the technologies in accuracy is a clear example of this robert williams was interrogated having been arrested and taken into custody by detroit police the day before and it soon became clear he had been mis identified a look i said not us not me. he tells another paper always say i guess this is not julian. i picked that paper up and hold it and they said this is not me and i hope ya don't think all black people look alike and then he says the computer says you study after study including a federal government report last year has shown facial recognition software mis identifies black native american and asian faces $10.00 to $100.00 times more often

than white faces understand this technology is. worse i didn't find people are still using it. he gets it wrong 96 percent and there's also the fact they were using this technology for over a year and a half. implementation because the officers who interrogated williams mentioned a computer how to identify him we know in accurate facial recognition software and callous police work what to blame for his arrest but there are no nationwide records about how often people are wrongly arrested as a result of recognition software even though according to the american civil liberties union the software has been used hundreds of thousands of times by the f.b.i. for example we do know from the detroit. police forces records that this software

proven to be unreliable in identifying african-americans is overwhelmingly used ome african-americans facial recognition software has been used 70 times as of june 22nd by the department in 68 of those cases the photo was of a black person taken from social media or security cameras enjoy. new know what got arrested because. they have my girls out there and seen that you know their 1st interaction with the police and for that to be what it was and then taking their dad like i'm going to wonder now how much did this affect the civil liberties groups are calling for bans at the federal and local level of the use of such software in a cedar tree is over 8 percent lack here recently emerged from bankruptcy there's no justifiable reason that you should still be in. technology when you

meet. the police's use of technology that has been proven to misidentify black people is just another example of why so many have mobilized not to reform the police but to restructure policing entirely even when there are multiple empirical studies proving race discrimination in software that is routinely used some police departments still reluctant to change. al-jazeera egypt's government has extended the detention of al-jazeera journalist mahmoud a saying by $45.00 days he's already been held for more than 3 and a half years without trial after arriving for personal visits the united nations and al-jazeera have called for an end to his arbitrates tension. his son to tensional unspecified charges breach is egypt's penal code which sets the maximum pretrial detention of 620 days egyptians head to the polls
