if this continues they just will not be the opportunity for the girls to recover in between those major. scientists a calling for a strong climate policy from the government to reduce emissions without the situation well on the get worse. hello i'm barbara starr in london with some breaking news out of washington d.c. the washington post has released an audiotape of an extraordinary hour long phone call between president trump and the joint just secretary of state brad raffensperger in the recording which is they were has not been able to independently verify trump allegedly pressures the georgian politician to recalculate the vote in the president's favor the people of georgia angry and these numbers are going to be repeated on monday night along with others that we're going to have by that which are much more substantial even and the people of

yours you're angry the people of the country are raving and there's nothing wrong with saying that you know. 2 2 that you've recalculated well mr president determines that you have is the data you have as well you should want to have an accurate election and you're a republican. we believe that we do have an active election no idea you know. you don't have you don't have not even plus you got you're off by hundreds or thousands of you know what they did and you're not reporting it that's it you know that's a criminal that's a criminal offense and you know you can't let that happen that's that's a big risk to you and to riot your lawyers that's a big risk but they are shredding ballots in my opinion based on what i've 2 heard and they are removing machinery. and they're moving it as fast as they can both of which are criminal finds and you can't let it happen and you are letting it happen

you know i mean i'm notifying you that you're letting it happen so all i want to do is this i just want to find. $11780.00 lugs which is one more that we have because we won the state so so tell me brad what are we going to do we won the election and it's not fair to take it away from us like this and it's going to be very costly in many ways and i think you have to say that you're going to reexamine it and you can re-examine it but but resented it was people that want to find answers not people that don't want to find answers well alan fisher is following the story from atlanta. it is perhaps the most remarkable piece of audio that's come out of the oval office of the white house since the nixon tapes in the 1970 s. 74 hours ago donald trump confirmed that he had. with the secretary of state in

georgia on saturday and that many of the things he had raised what the night or the secular state didn't know about brad rustenburg or immediately responded saying that's not true mr president the truth will come out and just a few hours later the washington post had obtained a copy of the hour long phone call between the 2 what is interesting is that over the course of the hour donald trump tries to cajole and to billy the secretary of state and to recounting steve clemons is the host of al-jazeera is the bottom line and the washington editor at large of the hill he says this puts donald trump's political allies in a difficult place. the drama yesterday was that 12 united states senators were going to contest the electoral college vote certifications that are to be read this coming wednesday and basically overseen by vice president pads so 12 united states

senators are going to we're going to point to those boxes and say that somehow something was amiss that somehow someone had cheated or was trying to steal this election well now would donald trump is done on recording tape apparently is he's caught red handed trying to force a republican secretary of state a republican governor to change the votes in their election so all of a sudden i think we don't know how this will go but the senators are in a much more tenuous fragile situation because the president has been caught red handed on tape trying to compel someone to cheat when they have been arguing that the cheaters were on the other side i'll have more news in half an hour i'm not in cairo is the next hour.

and yet we i mean so i may. have even what i did 30. mr. president abdel fattah el-sisi presents himself as egypt savior as the only man able to impose order in his country. there is this thing the smell of tear gas blood and bullets. really start to talk to it out all going mental health don't enjoy it any. man fashion of with a little stress from 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 feel little question so that i meet their. c.c. was able to say there's the threat from isis you want to defeat it give us the tools and we'll take care of this for a year. and we have a fantastic relationship with egypt and we appreciate what you're doing but israel's sisi really such a good bargain for the west. in april 28th egyptian president out of 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 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 at the c.c. regime sonny anon 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. before president and sisi expressed regrets that no one

was willing to run against him but the situation became increasingly embarrassing for cairo's partners in the west. parts of the us government were communicating to c.c. into 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 28 team so that message was being conveyed. with no real context 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.

to live in a little better but then. i think that this is what is. 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 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. 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 . to outdoor. in on pastoral care the till attitude toward the. northeast i mean it after to what ed of am and what it on of it all

a come out of the sauna. there on that awful scene 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. bill and then i

maybe at the end they came out on national title yeah my sing out and on every battle not every battle that gets any and i sort of them and they. carried the colaba out of there i'm in danger and i think that. interior minister maggoty abdel ghaffar dismissed western suspicions. and here they are united as i have no one but you can be a good and don't miss as you more he has i don't know most of the laws in the in this hour should be well let me answer that there's. 6 weeks into the investigation the egyptians said they had found reaching 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 an apartment. out this vehicle approached

a police checkpoint the police opened fire and killed everybody inside. later that afternoon the police officers when. to the homes of these people and lo and behold what they find but are julio 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. a level 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 are. coming to enjoy it when the other man that kicked the sauna came off a child then as has a critic i documented in judea. 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 regina was a spy. and surely oh. so you would rather live with a lot of money. down upon time into all. that he put in the right mentor only gonna start going on but on the union leader wanted regime here to incriminate himself and pushed for compromising topics like foreign funded political activism. term usually that alan starting with the news deep in my sharia my son to get the guy well and so on the love immaturely are the only way you listen i guess yes yes i'm going to. call it an age real can. just stick around a bit at the ship in

a barrel in on bass then all going on in there over thought i came out of here that . i can now beat the most out of. sydney. i know it is highly. doubt that it was a. that he knew at that moment that it also can we can imagine u.k. with any other people feel. on 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 is 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 to the middle there that was a school bag full of. point geology given that i realized that i could i would want to be plays an important energy i want you plays if you know many people should these 5 he probably does only domestically dinner just an improvisation. zorg us 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 for those of a project could go ahead. the political

stalemate caused by regime is murder came to an end 20 italy sent a new ambassador to cairo. she had been shot the. sea of the moon shot zara she sat a lot for a. diplomat i said she. bullied to kofi annan for the. bench ok see she finally ran to the meticulous podium or i'm going to look at the mental ability that was to leave his rank and file to do anything with phantom interbank to make an idea out of all i'm given on the phone. basically 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. part of the goal normally go. out

and d.-day the only g doing ality at and. it of it all was she on $1.00 a cheney. feet i mean that view but dane de de la motte of humans i 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 his 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 you yeah i was a b.l. by then his heart of any of it and in the lower myself and the how and. why adam had the pluck cunt and i thank you and the had been in my fish effect. of the all the fullness and sebag i should know that have been so mad mad about going to europe and so on it calling in sick when i said where they demanded if the media i think a city hall one of a few woke up all 7 in the keysets and said if you let me have a quarter. 1000000 let me let me know if it is but it's only so moment. went other with them i didn't believe it at the collateral door. argument so you

did lives in berlin in 2050 he was working in germany as a surgeon when he returned to egypt for a visit. and i can and be as my getting it done from the bottom must what you know it can miss out on a.s.s. . when i had it was shipped to market nec for want to know what the press and i was on a higher. mark made and his friends organized a flash mob in cairo with banners calling for the release of political prisoners fear my mom was about what she in her family shockley sharply let's go fadia any list are you typing that i should have said it was so a 3rd is a bit a little off but even when i shot at him i had. another child who will though it. took until 24 to look for coffee the whole helena household there what you all on

the other yo wyler in with fables french way or. better half live in. darwin karabo yanni if i were to know that when they leave yet and i would how their out how are they lead. it's when i go work i thank them and. it was found guilty of protesting without a permit and was sent to the infamous are locked up a prison a maximum security penitentiary reserved for so-called terrorists arguments for and tell her mocked is a physician active in the egyptian medical syndicate and i are from the other 59 and i would not allow the leader and i'll be machine and i if i'm not they are mad . or to a trust or for short of if they are alone millipede been with the dia a little bit. i go in she. led bad

time ali hogmanay. senate in. her is an outspoken critic of the medical neglect of detainees in egypt missing him. in time of going faint and then math no matter how thought the man lamented the point the s.c. . a man from think. into thier theone in time why did they would have had no one at the head of my bishop luck that may not have it or we. have been if belief in man fashion of going theater. will be moot. just 2 months after arguments arrest was also arrested. the halti at the shoulder lower up that anatomical image of the of the woman for lesser i'm a little don't have that no bog that all of them have.

a negative in there no more it out of them again but the how the mechanism going to i can feel how a little attention norm the notion shift both of. them are all more deliberate telemark that even one. alan of say in what will you are the one of the i mean she shot him but somehow it blew up to be still there when the whole my share my been out of hospital bob i'm. in your thought our. home. emittance of heart how did you get that it may also i have got out of. hiking again we were going to saw that his in order and the sharks are walking normal kentucky because i wasn't in there with.

what it looked. filthy another them the south. did you mean of the letter feel what the election one must get done be. madam be the how the with apollo my you we would we could different begin. with. thanks to an international campaign highlighting his case. was released after one year in prison he now lives in germany. the one it's in that regard most close to one of the mothers are going to have that the mother ship. mr sloan the money and the son with the last will be all meals ready for the infamous. was freed after 7 months a nun lives in france. and i bethink the muslim greatly to make any thinking

official magnetometer thinking even in a 1000000000 the time in my fucked up most of the things that come from the out in left. in the one cannot that are adamant. that if. we become a national. whack a magazine then and only. with internet what in santa. are going to be the one i have to look. for going. on in a matter of. michelle aka billy western again into a passion at. documenting human rights violations has become very dangerous in egypt. since 2030 over 500 online news outlets have been shut down 8 journalists have been

killed while covering demonstrations i did least 32 journalists and bloggers are currently detained some facing a possible death penalty case the hype said the show short. definitely be silly cluelessly wedding of a child he thought. that was what it would. elicit at the. the to say we do it you can is military and also. to say we have and then i was. going to be able to take this individual duty but i didn't believe he will barack if you knew that there were any stones or many struggle i must hold that was a duty to show that. it does so vocally nice that he did when he said he had to do other than want to do it on a post to drill for oil for the good father to pursue and you have about what they lived with us into the modern and well meant us but yeah them in point as well. so that if you need it they don't east. wind up with when i gave up they thought i

have fell out a little sympathy but he had it they could do to withdraw and perform little or that. perhaps the most famous case was the arrest of 3 i'll just 0 journalists in 2013 former b.b.c. correspondent peter greste x. c.n.n. reporter mohamed fahmy and local produce obama mohammad was sentenced to 77 and 10 years respectively on charges of aiding terrorists harming national security and tarnishing egypt's image abroad and. the international outcry caused by the heavily publicized trial eventually achieved its goal. after more than 13 months behind bars you straightly and peter greste was deported

and his 2 colleagues received pardons from president abdel fattah el-sisi. after $411.00 days. too much time alone in the prison it's like a dream come true. i'm very proud of every single moment i spent in prison for the sake of freedom of expression i'm really really proud look i'm goes back. i would use an experience. on a new toy highway to india girls as young as 10 wickets prostitutes. one woman is travels to the villages where parents tell their underwrites 2 of the things. on al-jazeera . the fast episode of the new series exposed the imperial origins of the drug trade commerce was put out fires are always good for commerce so these things very much

. hello i'm barbara starr in london with the top story on al-jazeera and it's breaking news out of washington d.c. u.s. media outlets have obtained an audiotape of an extraordinary hour long phone call between president trump and the georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger in the record recording trump allegedly pressures the georgian politician to recalculate the presidential election vote in the president's favor the people of georgia are angry the people of the country are angry and is nothing wrong with saying that you know. 2 2 that you've recalculated well mr president the

challenge that you have is the data you have is wrong you should want to have an accurate election and you're a republican we believe that we do have an active election no i do you know you don't have you don't have not even plus you got your off by hundreds of thousands of votes you know what they did and you're not reporting it that's a you know that's a criminal that's a criminal offense and you know you can't let that happen so look all i want to do is this i just want to find. 11780 lugs which is one more that we have because we want to say alan fisher is following the story for us from atlanta. it is perhaps the most remarkable piece of audio that's come out of the oval office of the white house since the nixon tapes in the 1970 s. 74 hours ago donald trump confirmed that he had. with the secretary of state in

georgia on saturday and that many of the things he had raised that were denied that a secular state didn't know about broad rustenburg immediately responded saying that's not true mr president the truth will come out just a few hours later the washington post had obtained a copy of the hour long phone call between the 2 what is interesting is that over the course of the hour donald trump tries to cajole and to billy the secretary of state and to recounting. and we're going to have more reaction from the united states and analysis in the al-jazeera news hour that's coming up in just under half an hour from now $21.00 g.m.t. coming up next hour many kind of a continuous. 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 i'll say my last prayers literally 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 by the wheel 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 back to 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 if you know 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

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 5th you've got to flee you've got you've got to think shifts keeping with people has one bathroom for 50 plus now and of course you're so you're forced to strip naked except john know where you're been and your head shame is total you really. have to go on a hunger strike because. it was the only means of resistance. no hard for 489. they would bring my dad to the next ward have let me hear his screenings and. come tell me listen this is what's happening

here you know we can't. just break your strike. there's no love for these guys. no luck. in may 2050 with salt on still in prison the obama administration formally reported to the u.s. 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 them and 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 25

. but l.c.c. rode the storm and kept the aid flowing. egypt has at times received much larger sums of money from them 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 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

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 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. enough asadullah possible to ensure down the leadership to the fact kill it off ali pull me off when i see vulnerable what is it only jeep sit in the lamont since she was old enough to see oh these are good multiphase don't let's all be let out.

a false sense song called blue school of republic to see don't all 25 obligate. to concede only if you take a despair because of them it is pearson it was on the temple of democracy a disease that mr centers and plate but. posed the problem by. cory booker preventing mattie. exist and it at fed only perhaps but it is a younger vivaan going into the chance is he perceived the feel of his affair because of what i assume vented is it. then for some question except to. listen to the many other government be shown on than those of simply not clearly. so that's i mean they can produce an argument superman so you've got this beside the nail of democracy yet i guess. you're manolo me

say if you will of digital. signal that's all bullet i'll celeste headlee to delete . the always deadly violence has been on the rise in egypt specially in the sinai peninsula the ne corner of this remote region has become for european leaders one of the middle east's hottest front lines against all 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 the northeast side as the independent media have not been allowed into the area for years. imagining for a feel for. where they just. didn't get it and

that's in the early going this thing that's in the cia is that it won't get up out of the interior of the. media and you know who do want to get an. unconfirmed leagues from the area reveal horrific pictures of the egyptian army is 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 throughout egypt in november 27th president announced the final offensive to the school. the school. sure. but lesser. or to start a little or less sure good news for the nation his message is that he is the only

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. german chancellor angela merkel turned to reject as a partner to improve security and counterterrorism signing a cooperation deal in 2017. i'm going to be to the fact of. the had a contest started as my leg and marked on. on the heights question i'm in i keep in psych the man king criminality will get sort of as a till this most internet based on people mostly given fester to dust in it get. torn hot and in
