and i missed any of the i mean so i may. have even what i did 30. mr dialysis 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 smell of tear gas blood and bullets. only a subtle talked without all knowing men tank health donovan johnny. man fashion of with the mustache for help that will be more. despite his human rights record
4:06 am
western leaders have embraced l.c.c. as a strategic and commercial partner so they printed clearly little question so that i may think i'm a. c c was able to save there's the threat from isis you want to defeat it give us the tools and we'll take care of this for you. we have a fantastic relationship with egypt and we appreciate what you're doing but is l.c.c. really such a good bargain for the west. in april 28th egyptian president of the fatah el-sisi secured a 2nd time in office after winning 97 percent of the vote yet the results were
4:07 am
hardly surprising. there were technically 2 candidates but the other candidate was the most optimistic. in fact the supporter who had stepped into the contest at the 11th hour to prevent the embarrassment of a one horse race. 3 men from within the military establishment had initially challenge house easy for the presidency in a very short space of time all 3 candidates were dispensed with by at the c. 3 sammy a not a retired general was charged with breaching military regulations. and the 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
4:08 am
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 pawn and 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 contest the main focus for sisi became obtaining legitimacy through a high voter turnout and. people were promised that they would get pilgrimage to mecca or they would get an approved electricity supply in their town or they would get and use water system.
4:09 am
to live in for the little let up then. i think that this is what it. 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 will 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. ally and a major european business partner western countries are often accused of overlooking
4:10 am
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 . talk to outdoor. in on pastoral care the toilet or toward the. north east i mean it as to what ed of am and what it on another but all come out of the
4:11 am
sauna. there on that awful scene state that case they are. the day regime 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 and they tried to just 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 probably a drug deal that had gone wrong. and i
4:12 am
maybe at the end they came out on national title yeah my saying alan on every battle not every battle that gets any and i sort of them and they. counted the colaba out of their time in danger and i think that. interior minister maggie adèle got far dismissed western suspicions. and here they are united as i don't know why but she actually could be a good and done service as more and has i don't know most of the little adults 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 a construction job on an apartment. this vehicle approached
4:13 am
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 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. alive or are they nostra investigate they have kaido all due to some of the concept that suck it up and 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 then it's no secret that i documented. but the genie had been in egypt researching trade unions including the use of the local
4:14 am
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 are really such a money. down upon time into all. that it put in the right mentor only coming out of school start imagining going on but on the union leader wanted regime here to incriminate himself and pushed for compromising topics like foreign funded political activism. same usually that alan starting with the news deep in my sharia my son to get the guy well and certainly nothing much of the other. way or less and i guess you'll see a sad man to live right next to the age real can. just stick
4:15 am
around a bit about all in on bass that are going on in there over thought i came out of here that i can now be the most out of. certain. i know it is highly. doubt that it would make a. that if you knew about it i mean that also can we can imagine ek with any other pick if he knew. someone imagined through 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
4:16 am
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. last comment that it's going to start in game changer very neat thing when she took to the many other than you. beg. for geology given that if i say i could i would one of the ways importantly the energy i brought you by is if you know many people should these friday he probably does only domestically dinner just one provision of zoar gas field is also a major source of profit for any worth an estimated $6400000000.00 to the gas giant it was in emmy's interests as well as in theses interests to achieve a rapid resolution of this case and for those on the project could go ahead.

the political stalemate caused by regime his murder came to an end 20 italy sent a new ambassador to cairo. she had been shot though. she of the moon shot zara she sat a lot for a. diplomat i said she. politique a feeling full of. pain so they say she finally ran to the meticulous podium or i'm going to look at the mental ability that goes to the baseline confronted of anything phantom interbank to make an idea out of all i'm going 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
4:18 am
and d.-day only g. doing ality and in the l a it of it all was she on $1.00 a cheney a door in feet a main that view but they ain't there they love more of you they talk they in the yard. years have passed since julio regime is murder in 2016 in italy and elsewhere many people are still waiting for the truth. for many egyptians what happened to the regime he did not come as a surprise human rights organizations estimate that in egypt at least 323 people have died in custody since 2013. $60000.00 have been arrested on
4:19 am

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 mohammad saltire got on a plane to cairo and quickly found himself at the front lines of the revolt. thousands of people gathered outside the presidential palace. i was crying my eyes out i thought for sure they were going to fire the we were going to die i'll say my last prayers litter and 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. many egyptians who had supported the idea of the ouster of president mubarak
4:35 am
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
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 4 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 in the weeks after the military takeover morsi supporters had occupied 2 major thoroughfares in cairo they are not the square and the road in front of iraq by mosque. in august the military cleared these camps with an unprecedented show of force. mohammad sultan 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 khan back put my phone on wait for think not
4:38 am
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
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. this my face. i have been of this you've got to flee you've got to you've got to think shifts sleeping with people there's one bathroom for 50 plus that 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 days. 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
4:40 am
to your dad you know we can and there's just break your strike. there's no love for these guys. no love. 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. remain their man to be reckoned with in cairo. your hearing concerns from the saudis from the amber roddy's from the israelis that the freezing 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.
4:41 am
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 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 and 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
4:42 am
. but l.c.c. ruled the store and kept the aid flowing. egypt has at times or saved much larger sums of money with newer 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
4:43 am
many member states have adopted a business as usual policy. but unfortunately we still have a very weak common ground in europe when it comes to how to deal with egypt. a dutch member of the european parliament not each a shocker initiated a resolution that condemned human rights violations in egypt however she does that leaders of the influential member states i believe. 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 massacre and 2013 e.u.
4:45 am
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. left positive in a possible down the egypt effect kill it off ali pull me off when i see them to prevent what is it on religion. since she was old enough to see oh these are good
4:46 am
multiphase don't let's all be let out. a false sense song called blue school of republic of c. don't. shock you can said only if you take a despair because it is pale centers on the temple of democracy a disease that mr centers and plate but. post the problem. mattie. it exists and it at fed only purveyor. of even been into. the field is a fail because of what a disadvantage is it or it don't then i'm in for some question except the cook and not the usual modern day listen to the many other good animal piece in london those are simply not clearly. there were questions so that i mean they can't produce an argument superman so you've got this beside the nail of democracy yet i guess you feel on city yet again. your manual me say if you will of digital.
4:47 am
signal 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 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 if you sign as the independent media have not been allowed into the area for years. imagining for a feel for. whether. the media got it i'll get it and
