this is weekly news of iran the very latest developments welcome to the program. as egyptians await the delayed results of last weekend's presidential election huge crowds of protesters are again filling cairo's tahrir square the epicenter of last year's revolution. has the very latest now. if we look at the protests that happened in egypt for example eighteen months ago those protests were very much directed at ousting the former egyptian president hosni mubarak what we witnessing today is the same kind of anger on the streets of egypt but this time it is being directed against the ruling military the many egyptians feel it is trying to keep its grab on power in this follows a recent announcement by the military that it had drawn did an interim constitution also that it was responsible for pointing those people who would write the final
5:02 am
constitution egypt's courts also have recently dissolved the parliament and now you need to remember that those courts are headed by judges who were pointed during that time of course mubarak mubarak was a military man and the ruling generals are very much seen as part of his regime since the boric was asked of there have been multiple protests across the country dozens of people have been killed and so what we're witnessing today is disappointment that the revolution did not actually reach the goals it had city itself which was ultimately changing the ruling powers here in egypt the majority of people who are out there in tahrir square are supporters of the muslim brotherhood and their candidate mohamed morsi you need to remember that he won the first round of the presidential vote by several percentage points he has evolved egypt will be turned into a should we are and hated state and this has people concerned in this country those who are not muslim brotherhood supporters they want to keep religion out of

5:04 am
a new presidential election all of those scenarios hold the threat of violence because protesters on both sides are likely to go to the streets particularly muslim brotherhood supporters if they candidate does not win and indeed if the election results are delayed you're going to see a lot of frustration here in egypt. a car a base journalists and activists to get uber him it says egyptians will continue to strive for freedom and democracy against all odds. with this election and how it was engineered from the first place how it was constructed who was in charge was putting all the woods is basically the supreme council for the horses show in the end that evolution is not over yet i mean no revolution ends in a year and a half and certainly not with skaf in power i believe that that with the next you know coming months there will be a lot of mobilization there's a lot of huge expectation on this coming president whether it would be sheffield or whether it be more c. the have a lot to answer to and with the limiting powers that they have the basically

5:10 am
that's just small business we're worried about him getting extradited to the united states and it's being orchestrated by the department of justice and most of the mainstream media doesn't seem to know about it because no one is allowed in and this is being going on simultaneously as bradley manning's trial i would say it's a fifty fifty chance either it does or doesn't i pulling for it sounds like this is a very good option. julian can continue to do the great work he has been doing for journalism ecuador would be a very good choice i think the likelihood of an extradition from ecuador is a lot less than it would be from sweden or the u.k. . foreign minister says that one of its military jets shot down by syrian forces was not spying but it was on
