bullets with their churches the way in which the united regardless of their sect or religion age gender all of these things they were really breathtaking scenes but what i remember also as a journalist from that perspective was just how challenging it was to try and. centrally convey the message all of these people convey their suffering configure their aspirations in you know short bite size 2 minutes 3 minutes report to report and you're talking about 90000000 egyptians many of whom had lived 30 years under this autocratic rule and were finally really exploding with their desire for a better way of life so it was it was definitely historic historic assignment as you outlined in your package there's been even more political upheaval since then how would you say the country is fairing now what we just need to look at the facts right so 10 years on you have dozens of journalists behind bars including one of

our colleagues mahmoud has seen has been imprisoned by the egyptian authorities for some 500 days you have poverty levels that are even worse than they were under mubarak so roughly 60 percent of the egyptian population are not or below the poverty line you have egypt's political standing in the region you know rolling back from being a leader to being one that has its policies dictated by men. states like the u.a.e. and others and all of that basically means that those who revolted during the chinese 11 uprising have seen not only that the unfortunately for them failed to achieve their demands on their goals but in fact the clock has been set back in many respects true worse than it was on their mubarak but that being said it doesn't mean that they will have they will admit that the revolution has felt there were many people view it as you know one round that they lost. the proof in that is

that there are still mobilizations that take place and sporadic protests against the military against ceases rule that happen every so often in egypt that many predict will culminate into another round of mass uprisings in the coming months if not maybe couple of years a bleak outlook many thanks for that jamal there for us live and. still ahead on al jazeera millions of children are bracing for a school year like no other after the qur'an a virus pandemic or the largest destruction of education in history. and hospitals in kyrgyzstan struggled to cope after decades of government neglect. when i much of europe is colder than usual and snowy this u.n. year for example wintering ground which go for many birds is not like you
