these wealthiest people live why do they keep such a low profile we have a snoop around to catch a glimpse of. her it is hard. to describe the super rich starts june 10th. exit stage left her recent may quits as leader of her party who will now get the keys to number 10 with the conservative party in disarray after a bruising loss in local and european elections can anyone turn the tories fortunes around on little rock and roll in this is the day. i will shortly leave the job which it has been the on of my life to hold to reason
10:31 pm
made today is resigning as the leader of the conservative party but she is going to carry almost as prime minister until the conservative party finishes conducting a leadership contest to replace her i put my name forward as the next leader of the piece of hockey and speak from minister my will be standing for the leadership of my party and just the next prime minister i can confirm that i will be putting my name forward to be plugged into this country that person to me there's only one kind of good enough force in the form of foreign sector i'll work with anybody as i've got it to achieve rex i work with anybody. also coming up it's 5 years since i've referred to has c.c. was an auger rated as the president of egypt all today 60000 political opponents are behind bars and hundreds have been sentenced to death. there is pessimism about the future there is fear for cries of if you express your opinion detention
10:32 pm
disappearance. the curtains have closed on british prime minister theresa may the embattled conservative leader formally quit but she stays on until a successor is picked and the race is on for the top job more than 10 candidates have publicly announced they want to replace her in downing street and any leader succeeding may will have to face brigs that the biggest issue confronting british politics that will define the nation for years to come. one is gone i don't really know for a minister that's exactly what boris johnson is hoping for and according to the polls the former foreign secretary is the man to beat back in 2016 johnson was one of the key architects of the successful referendum campaign to take the u.k. out of the e.u.
10:33 pm
take back control black culture that's how we do it. but 3 years on the u.k. still hasn't left the e.u. and the way forward is anything but clear back to reason may's failure to secure breaks it forced her to step down as tory party leader when her successor is named she will formally quit as prime minister to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love. while the outgoing pm has shown her vulnerable side few of the 11 m.p.'s hoping to replace or have paused for breath michael gove the environment secretary and a keen breck's it is stance a strong chance to think. he supported boris johnson to become the next prime minister 3 years ago that the 2 fell out and ran against him he thought johnson wasn't serious enough now the head to head once again but there are other contenders including the man who replaced boris johnson at the foreign office this
10:34 pm
week it was jeremy hunt to welcome to u.s. president trump to the u.k. for a state visit. and there's dominic rob the man who for several months was supposedly in charge of delivering bricks it he hopes he can appeal to those conservative m.p.'s and party members who are happy to leave the e.u. without a deal the list goes on but this is the man who most candidates want to see off nigel ferrante isn't even a conservative. but it breaks a plant he has won over many turi vote is on friday he was in downing street with a letter demanding a c. to any future breaks at negotiations no tory hopeful will be keen to give him that but to secure the keys to this door it seems almost anything is possible. and there was of course our forest waiting reporting she is
10:35 pm
a former british parliamentary correspondent and are very own in-house briggs it analyst good to have you here with us theresa may stepped out on a very eloquent tour all of low talks a little bit more about all these contenders is a crowded field vying to take over who's making a real impact well as we saw in that report boris johnson does seem to be the one to be to not just because at the moment he has the most support within parliament that's important within his own conservative party there are 42 conservative m.p.'s who are backing him and he needs them to get through to the next round which is when the people the members of the conservative party will vote so he's one to watch out for and certainly michael gove but there are others as well as the job that he's the home secretary and there is somebody who's quite interesting he's actually somebody who is proud to have voted for maine says bricks it must happen he's cool lurie's to it and he's taken his campaign to social media and seems to be
10:36 pm
the only candidate who's really gone out and about across the u.k. meeting normal people and trying to say to them there is no easy answer to bricks it but. trust me i am the person who is going to try to deliver it in the most sensible way possible any women's names that have come up yes there were 2 they would have both been in the cabinet this estimate say and andrea lets an entry let so many quit the cabinet a few weeks ago and she was clearly fairly well liked by 2 reason may she stood against it back in 23 and i'd say to go but neither of them really seem to have that support that they need from conservative m.p.'s so unless that changes they may not be going very far with the conservative party is in disarray because they have performed very poorly during these local and e.u. elections recently just how damaged are they very very damaged me to look at the european elections they got there was a share of the vote in the history that's almost
10:37 pm
a 200 year history it was terrible for them they came 5th in those elections last night there was a local election a by election and they came behind both labor and the brics it paunchy said they are really struggling at the moment to try to contain or to keep their members who they are losing many to the brics it policy those people who want to that to be a hard break sitting for the u.k. just to get out but also to all the parties such as the liberal democrats who do not want to be a bricks a tool so they are hemorrhaging hemorrhaging votes at the moment and trying their best in this difficult time to stop that happening hemorrhaging left right and center so what's the process right now the person who takes over from teresa me as leader of the tories do they automatically become the prime minister of the u.k. well it looks like it at the moment which seems a bizarre situation given how serious the situation is in the u.k. at the moment they there are 11 candidates at the moment they have to whittle that
10:38 pm
down to 2 within parliament so there will be ballots and votes over the next few weeks and then to those 2 candidates put to the party membership. 160000 conservative party members who will basically decide the future of the u.k. those members all mostly over 70 they all fairly middle class live in the south of england a very tiny minority and they are very much pro brix it so they just want the u.k. to get out and of course sucking out all the oxygen in the room let's talk about the brig's of party because they're they're writing quite popular a way of nigel farrar specifically breathing in the tories next down their necks just the next leader have to be a hard line briggs a tear i.e. forced johnson well or maybe dominic romper is even more hardline than boris johnson at the moment it looks like it and that is because of the party membership
10:39 pm
these 160000 party members are predominantly pro bricks and they want the u.k. just to get out deal or no deal and that it seems to be to me is who these candidates are playing to they want to prove to that electorate that tiny electorate we are the people who would take the u.k. out on the 31st of october whatever happens now whether that will actually be possible because of the issues of parliament remains to be seen but that is why these hombres it is such as boris johnson are talking such a tough game what about the labor party who thinks seize the moment right now i mean the tories are for a lack of a better word in a mess things are going so well with the later labor party either but could cheer me up and seize the moment and maybe if there is a general election become the u.k.'s next prime minister i mean certainly if there was a general election he has a good chance the problem with the labor party is if they have something on the fence if it breaks it and that has particularly annoyed their membership who are
10:40 pm
predominantly remain that means they want to stay in the e.u. they don't want brics it to happen until he has refused to come off the fence he said i may possibly they might possibly baucus a. referendum but they aren't committed to it and that is the problem so they are not doing as well as they should be at the moment and they also have a separate issue of anti semitism within the politicians just a dealing with said yes and they were the both the main parties have their own trouble is i've got 20 seconds left on fortunately how fragmented is the political landscape in the u.k. right now extremely fragmented there was a new political party that set up a couple of months ago and even that is now fragmented there are only screen m.p.'s left out of the 11 which just goes to show how difficult the situation is in the u.k. and they're starting to resemble continental europe just as they're about to leave work alex forrest waiting reporting for us thank you so much greatly appreciate it .
10:41 pm
now from savior to strong man in chips president of the fitz a has cc's path to power is marred by mass arrests and suppression of dissent it's been exactly 5 years since the former army general rose to the ranks as leader of egypt while in 2013 while serving as defense minister he led a coup against the country's 1st freely elected president mohamed morsi c c one presidential elections a year later after recent changes to the constitution he could now were made in power until 2034 under his rules under his rule rather authorities have jail thousands of people including actors musicians journalists and bloggers expressing your opinion is getting more and more dangerous in egypt. and i agree protest in a schoolyard the students are voicing their frustration over a new exam system suddenly police and other agents in plain clothes appear.
10:42 pm
they surround the youngsters beating and kicking them around. distressing scenes like these have played out in recent days in cities across egypt the interior ministry says it's not happening. mohamed lotfy is a lawyer who represents some of the young people. in gaza with props scores of them were taken to the police cars. and different police stations across across the from the governors of egypt and later on that the minister of interior although that everybody during the in the meanwhile somewhere in the. you know the subject of some of the pilots will and this was 5 years after l.c.c. was elected having led a coup such incidents are not so unusual in egypt. the former general promised
10:43 pm
stability security and an economic upturn but activists and lawyers say that since then human rights have been abused freedom of opinion and dissembling have been practically abolished some 60000 opposition supporters of behind bars. optimism has evaporated. there is a sin is the future there is fear of reprisal if you express your opinion the tensions appearance. fall is skandha is one of those living in fear the rights of blogger and musician produced web videos working with his friend shady abu say. they were satirical although not explicitly political in one video they criticized egypt's dismal economic situation. but shady was arrested and has been in prison for
10:44 pm
a year he's accused of spreading false information the idea that he is being punished is extremely. difficult for me because he is used taking on a lot of punishment for what all of us have done which is basically you know sort of protests. cloud has chosen to leave egypt even though the decision fills him with sadness he secured a job in germany for him it's a way out but one that's not available to many others in egypt who are fearful for their future. like to welcome now andrew miller to the show he is the deputy director of project on mil is democracy mr miller has served under president barack obama as director for egypt and israel military issues at the national security council a very good evening sir can you give us
10:45 pm
a progress report on 5 years since cc's ascent to the presidency how is egypt today . as the previous segment just mentioned sisi came into power or promising both security and prosperity and his argument was that the mocker see human rights were a luxury egypt could not afford we had to focus on stability we had to focus on the economy then we can turn to those nice things about politics later unfortunately sisi has neither achieved economic prosperity nor has he provided genuine security for the egyptian people in terms of security the situation in cairo in major cities is perhaps a little bit more subtle than it was several years ago but in the sinai peninsula the egyptian military continues to struggle with an isis affiliated insurgency that has inflicted considerable casualties on both the gypsum soldiers and on egyptian
10:46 pm
residents of the sinai peninsula and there are periodic attacks outside of the sinai peninsula in the egyptian heartland against major targets including churches government facilities that shake the public's faith in the security situation as far as the economy the top line macro economic figures have stabilized but the living conditions for the egyptian people have declined markedly inflation is still 13 percent. youth unemployment is well over 20 perhaps 25 percent the number of people who are either in poverty or on the verge of poverty is a full 60 percent of the population so certainly in terms of the economic condition of the egyptian people they are far worse off now than they were either in 2013 when sisi overthrew morsi or even in 2011 when the egyptian people overthrew mood work all right well let's talk about 2011 because i'm wondering also before i get
10:47 pm
to that how does his rule compare to that of ousted president mubarak is there any difference. there is a difference and i think the emerging consensus is that sisi is worse than mubarak particularly in terms of the level of authoritarianism while mubarak was clearly a brutal dictator who was not shy about using force he was far more selective about it and he wasn't as dependent on the military there were civilians who were running the government or at least some government agencies there was an understanding that certain types of public space were still acceptable and that people could voice certain types of opposition under c.c. the way i see it is he's moving closer towards totalitarianism he's not only opposed to those who are explicitly critical of him he's opposed to anyone who is operating outside of his authority he is truly a military man and believes that the military as all of a solution zz and if the egyptian people don't salute and follow his orders then
10:48 pm
he's going to bring you in line to the right of remains are necessary but the irony of course mr miller is is that the military coup that he spearheaded and that out that ousted mr morsy who was democratically elected it was popularly supported people backed this coup why. there was deep discontent with the role of the muslim brotherhood part of it was over just genuine incompetence that they weren't confident in their ability to run the economy there were some embarrassing episodes in foreign policy that made the egyptian state look weak but another part of it was fear over the muslim brotherhood while the muslim brotherhood did not seek to islamicize society overnight many egyptians were concerned that the ultimate aim of the muslim brotherhood was to put pressure on minority groups to bring people closer into line with sharia law and that spooked
10:49 pm
a lot of people and the combination of those 2 factors led to a groundswell of opposition to. morsi and hope that the egyptian military which up until that point was very popular would be able to right the ship and your assessment do you think that things will come to a head in a violent way in the near future you know we've already talked about the repressive measures that the regime is implementing what's the appetite i wonder among egyptians to take to the streets again for the 3rd time. i think that we always have a tendency of preparing for the last war we assume that. the political crisis will be similar to the last political crisis i think this is going to look a little bit more different if there is a challenge to sisi it's less likely to be massive organized protests and more likely to be something far more spontaneous and probably triggered by the economy
10:50 pm
as i mentioned before even middle class upper middle class egyptians are suffering it's not just the poorest and there is a danger at some point that they're just going to have enough and will spontaneously turn out into the streets and because sisi has a limited any peaceful means by which people can express their discontent and express their grievances the only way and which the egyptian people may have to register their concerns to pursue political change could be through some form of violence whether it's just massive disobedience or something far more sinister i like to get your take if i can on the events underway in neighboring sudan right now because they are eerily reminiscent of what happened in egypt what are some of the commonalities in the role that the army plays in supporting and crushing pro-democracy protesters. one of the key similarities is that as in egypt the sudanese military has been able to
10:51 pm
co-opt a popular uprising to try to protect their interests so one the better example perhaps is not necessarily 2013 but 2011 in which when mubarak was ousted the military sought to distance itself from him so that it could preserve its position within the state that's exactly what's happening with the sudanese military now they were supportive they were loyal to omar al bashir now that he's been ousted they've tried to distance themselves and to limit the extent of political change that subsequently it's shouldn't be a surprise that there are similarities because it appears pretty clear that not only egypt but the u.a.e. and saudi arabia who played a role in supporting president cc's coup are providing advice to the sudanese military they're definitely providing financial support it's no surprise that when the the head of the sudanese military ironically named abdul fatah took his 1st foreign trip that was the cairo so they're clearly looking to egypt and the
10:52 pm
egyptian military as an example for how to consolidate military interests in a time of potentially great change and great instability but on the other hand i think the sudanese protesters themselves have learned from the egyptian example and they've seen how even genuine popular support can be manipulated by other actors for their own ends so they've stayed in the streets for instance and they've tried to continue to put pressure on the military instead of viewing the ouster of the leader as the final complement and considering it a job well done yes it's really interesting there has definitely been a learning curve for protesters and for the army leadership andrew miller deputy director of project on the middle east a mock research thank you for joining us. i mean our.
