stamboul has approved the demolition of gezi park the turkish government's decision to redevelop the park to make room for a monument to the ottoman empire sparked weeks of fierce rallies that spread across the country in late may four people were killed and over seven thousand injured in cheering police crackdown which was strongly criticised by governments around the world. and in bahrain at least one hundred people have been injured in a brutal crackdown on protests over the past three days police stormed villages across the country arresting dozens of anti regime activists the raids followed the opposition's calls for new rallies against the monarchy and government to use a ruthless drive to stifle dissent as claimed over eighty lives over the past two years. in china seventy five people are reported dead and over four hundred injured and a five point nine magnitude earthquake that hit a sparsely populated northwestern province the rescue effort has so far been

delayed by flooding and mudslides caused by recent rain storms villages in the region have suffered severe damage leaving scores of people homeless. up next as promised safety seven us to talk to the son of a gypsy i'm steve president mohamed morsi about the prospects facing his father and the country. i talk with your many times about the absurd things going on all around us like kids being thrown out of school because they had a gun that shoots bubbles or various people getting punished for their tweets and facebook posts it's all really abstract it's hard to truly get angry over until you
10:31 am
see the results or playing a stupid video game just in carter sarcastically said to someone who called him crazy oh yeah i'm real messed up in the head i'm going to go shoot a bunch of kids at school l.o.l. j.k. and for this bit of sarcasm he spent quite some time awaiting trial in a texas prison not only that according to his father he was being attacked brutally on many occasions leading to both a poor concussions and black eyes and in the end he had to be thrown into solitary confinement for his own good you see this is the ugly reality of those who for the bad side of political correctness you know i don't talk about these stories just for fun the main thing i'd like to say is that it wasn't for some anonymous coward in canada turning him into the authorities for doing absolutely nothing this young man would not have to live with the memory and possible injuries from numerous assaults to the anonymous canadian who turned him in i sarcastically wish you a horrible fate but you probably get me arrested for it so just say that it's people like you who allow tyranny to exist but that's just my opinion.
10:32 am
hello welcome to this edition of sophie and co shevardnadze egypt at the crossroads again with thousands in the streets to protest out single handed morsi the president only elected a year ago people are being killed wounded hundreds arrested this day muslim brotherhood and else they will fight to reinstate their deposed leader what are the chances for egypt to find its peace or does what nation still for the sake of democracy.
10:33 am
egypt is in turmoil once more division and economic disaster the military has its hands back on the reins of power after bringing down a democratically elected president yet the international community shrugs his shoulders as the fruit of egypt's young democracy is eaten by the army mohamed morsi is president no more a year of poor performance opens the door to change and for the deeply polarized politics in egypt what was it all morsi schools would ghosts of dictatorship the value of the kings the muslim brotherhood is being edged what will it change. is egypt in danger of sliding into civil war. and our guest today is all some out morsi the son of the ousted president mohamed morsi it's great to have you on the show and thanks for agreeing to this interview so are you hiding what
10:34 am
exactly are you fearing. i'm not hiding being among egypt's young revolutionaries since the twenty fifth of january two thousand and eleven these young people came out to the country squares to defend the democratic path of the revolution i want to say this again and one of those people defending because of the january revolution and its achievements i'm out there on the streets with the others i think we need to keep the treatments of the january revolution we need to stay on that which has been threatened by those who organize this bloody coup in egypt. we are defending the revolutionary cause presidency in egypt is an institutional there was a stamp list by the will of the people of the revolution today's situation is not just the president's problem. it is a violation of the people's will the constitution that the people voted for and it
10:35 am
goes against the lawfully elected president the president all these institutions have been because of the coup. cannot be justified the egyptian people can't just be observers those who organized the coup shouldn't think succeeded against the will of the people and this will never happen. now after the twenty fifth of january. people none got the help of a lot about hunter just the people leaders. summits what the bloody regime. is so you're saying you're not hiding but it was so hard to arrange an interview with you there was so much secrecy around it what your saying so does it mean that you can be seen in the streets every day with your supporters. yes of course. we are square with him on the streets of the revolution that far in
10:36 am
hiding i wouldn't be able to talk to you today. where is your father now do you know. that my father is. on the location now with the leaders of this school criminals. they detained the president they go without any charges. and he's a lawful elected president who spoke the will of the people on the canal and now they're fighting a. secret locations where our but i don't can you expect from war criminals. they violated the cause of those mother who died in the name of the revolution and a lot of. so we still don't know where my father escaped. we don't know where here is i don't know why he was detained are you worried for his life what do you think could happen to him. in the lead out of
10:37 am
a now military spokesman in adelaide ali it's basically admits that they arrested the president here so statements are a joke. that the president was detained for his own safety this. is this we say. don't worry about the president's safety. or the president come out to the people with the hard this don't talk to the. aleutian the rest here in this strange that they don't constitutional modern man then and then what they get in that is are you not scared for his life. very dangerous really. worried about him. and i feel for his lawyer said. but it's a revolutionary and i see him as already. resigned . to giving it to. all of us not just me but
10:38 am
our whole family supports him with him and the other to give also in a safe haven flow to the will of the people. though and you argue. the president doesn't. get to the heart of. it can't just deal with it. this is the will. of the georgian people that are that this. was about you seem very close here father in this whole process how did your father not see this coming i mean there where science egyptians wanted a more inclusive government a more inclusive society and the army was warning morsi. how this can and you can ask the gyptian president this question how do you know when he returns to his office through this revolutionary effort and then a lot out of that he will be able to tell you about
10:39 am
a better answer i don't know the mechanism so let's govern as the i'm just the president's son but what's your take as his son and his ally things i'm not one of those people making decisions look i don't know what the presidential meetings even though i'm his son but this is a very personal question my grandfather was deposed by revolution at one point and i always told him what i thought even though i didn't take part in presidential meetings. sure i will answer this question prison more see the school because he recognized perfectly well that the justice and the will of the egyptian people is stronger than any stronger than the military coup and the criminals who staged it out to a club illegitimate president of egypt repeatedly that he believed to be the common sense the vision of this again city of the egyptian people that well besides the
10:40 am
prison knew that people all across the country would rise to disagree and this is what we see happening now the mass revolution of protest against the coup against the people's will being ignored the focus of this. but we're right now it looks like it's a fifty fiftieth's split between morse's supporters and people who want him out according to the polls fifty nine percent think the country would have been better off with the military in power. this is excellent proof that the harmony morsi has ruled was democratic while going to democracy you have both the ruling regime and an opposition but the case of armed forces taking on a certain political stance is something unprecedented. and this is sort of a sure sign of the military takeover. all right but with all due respect there is no doubt morsi has a lot of supporters but in a very short period of time an overwhelming majority turns against him it's not
10:41 am
about the military it's the people in a democracy so much political differences and confrontations are normally settled through elections rather than tanks well i saw them at the. is there any true democracy we are nobly commanded discounts the will of the people and illegally deposes the president was that the coup is actually a crime committed by the egyptian military at the. right temperature breakout coming next just to syria scenario possible in egypt or could there be a return of dictatorship of the land states.
10:42 am
i've seen the per session of the cross many times it doesn't matter if there's snow a heat wave or hail storms from people keep on going i don't expect anything just one i told myself i keep on going as long as my heart told me to that's all i want to at the moment mickey i have sinned so my choose cd i'm carrying these sayings on my shoulders. do you want me to put a man that shared no that's fine a lot of people were so exhausted they could barely walk their feet hurt and some of them stated we will bring you back to it three two wanted to keep going i don't know what tomorrow will bring.
10:43 am
illo eleven . live . plymouth.
10:44 am
live live live. live. live. live. live live live. live. live. well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports and look for the no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your letter pledge the monthly sage if lists are k.l.a. car is on the docket. no more weasel words
10:45 am
when you made a direct question and leave prepared for a chase when you run should be ready for a little bit of a speech and let him hit on the freedom to cost. all right welcome back to the show they must lim brotherhood supporters have flooded this streets of cairo with demands to return their ousted leader mohamed morsi back to office what is causing a coup the revolution and the possibility of peace with osama morsy who takes close to heart the removal of his father from the presidential seat so sum up many believe muslim brotherhood has failed not even because of the religious factor but
10:46 am
because they didn't have a political plan an economic plan do you admit that your father made mistakes. i believe the only way to settle political differences is by democratic general election of the. russian or american or british defense minister i would overthrow and you have a democratically elected government just because there's opposition respect testing on the streets it's impossible egypt egypt that evolution has well. he's can go to mass because it was here as we'll. do you still strong so what. you're going to sell the people of egypt over to their own government i didn't but some humor of called your supporters to come out this streets and fight even if it leads to bloodshed more people died in
10:47 am
recent events than in the whole year under morsi. this is entirely wrong i think charlie. we represent the egyptian people. and we are defending our democratic choice and our votes and secondly we are doing it through peaceful means only and aligning peaceful means only not at all for we are not at threatening anyone and we don't tolerate threats to criminals that stage this kind are responsible for all the blood spilled on the streets full disrespecting the people as we always are and foremost accusing those that are just trying to peacefully defend their votes however the. revolution has been peacefully and since day one the laws of no no one is threatening and i'm one. of the ones responsible for the bloodshed and violence and call of all the supporters of in the bar every was that we used to be difficult times and each of us has been
10:48 am
going through a whole new stage a counter-revolutionary rule out any gates and everything the revolution achieves all their view they destroyed a democracy in a city the egyptian people in there who opts for violence that is that all the people see some very clearly who supports democracy cannot play around who wants to rob them of its. look but as of now muslim brotherhood is out of egypt's new defacto government muslim brotherhood refuses to cooperate if there's not cooperation stance a valid political strategy the muslim brotherhood does not speak on behalf of all the gyptian people and that's the way the whole world has to understand that the egyptian people are out in the streets right now. the muslim brotherhood only represents a certain part of the population and the muslim brotherhood part of that does not make decisions on behalf of the gyptian people they were not elected by the people or is what president bush sr laws and others are they have to do for the will of
10:49 am
the people is in shrine to the constitutional document which he was drafted by the people and not by the muslim brotherhood. not only the brotherhood but the entire you to believe that the crew out there should have happened to the first place it's a new government shouldn't have been imposed properly to what and are you prepared to fight. that egyptian people will not recognize the current government. nor the actions it suited to get to ruin democracy that again that again they gyptian people will stand for its choice as martyrs now i'm telling you whatever it takes them one of them. but when it comes to the number of deaths when will you say enough you should ask this question to those who orchestrated this violent cuckoo that asked them when they're going to put an end
10:50 am
to their crimes against the gyptian. how many more deaths that will take to stop us to the well it goes both ways r r r i'm telling you i'm telling you to ask this to a c.c. and his group this those coopers you must ask them when will you stop killing egyptian be able not not asking us when you when used tobe to be killed we owe all of us the egyptian people we decided to rule ourselves by our well. m. boxes yes yes now egypt's v board asking where is my vote where is democracy. so again so have only gyptian people out of this have the right to determine who is to rule their country and it has to be determined by a elections it's only by casting their ballots that the egyptian people decide part
10:51 am
of the post or we will lose many have said the candidate of the last election will never be elected in the future money and the winner might be elected for a second term this is what we understand by democracy and in which country can the opposition and moderates come to power through protests i mean instead of winning a general election are. gyptian people stated aloud in clear that democracy is the only road working for them and most of the people are they only think governance they are negative. they are not afraid of. murders or oppression that the rebels perpetrate out even most of the savage muscly the gyptian people are not afraid of the security forces and what their foreign factor in a coup. all i know is that it isn't that anti-democratic
10:52 am
coup which aims to lead egypt from the path of becoming a respected it's almost a democratic nation when the gyptian people staged arrival lucian in january of two thousand and eleven and it was not a revolution of beggars nor revolution of the hungry oh no it was a revolution. people who are free and those free people another one so now protesting in the streets against this on constitutional illegal and on democrats a coup besides all the gyptian stop protesting the longtime democratic whose brutal and violent policies are the most loaded on a possible roll back to the practices once used by mubarak and his secret police. but no one looks at the situation in egypt from outside the first thing people are discussing after the clashes what role does the united states play and it's very unclear you may not know for sure but what are your thoughts the u.s.
10:53 am
policy has been serving only the american interests all the time i don't really care about that. and the i don't care about the situation in america i'm not interested in the medical situation there. protected a lot of military. in the history in. other states and in egypt the us supported military coups in their enemies way. and some other countries when it was beneficial to their country that that is a well known fact this is a model for i were talking of a situation in which he you find yourself where your father is supposed you don't know where he is there are clashes in the streets do you think your u.s. citizenship is a hindrance or a help. americans speak for democracy in the media but in reality they don't defend democratic principles and it is very important for egyptians not singapore
10:54 am
democracy from the us or some other country. on january the twenty fifth two thousand and eleven is that the egyptian people will rule to make independent decisions about the future of the country if not i will vote i beg then the u.s. administration did not have a clear position on this will be enough for you but have to clarify here the clashes are between repressive security forces and peaceful protesters or you can't use the term civil war in this situation talk about this is not a civil war between egyptians what i'm asking is is your american citizenship helping you or damaging you right now so are many egyptians it is on that list that i don't have u.s. citizenship although one of my sisters these are you citizen. summer how come qatar has turned their back against you they were your supporters you can ask the leaders of carter on this question. but you certainly have your opinion on that as
10:55 am
well. i don't really understand the position on the. will it help the home turn i didn't really care. i only care about the will of the egyptian people that's the main thing that. they think that the syrian scenario may repeat of egypt absolutely not that's a gyptian zone understand what's going on. the egyptian army is the army of all the people egyptians understand it we are well respected that. the egyptian army is well respected to say yes you know me we like a great shoestring a little to let people know the difference between if you know me and a few military commanders who organized the coup. last time i thank you very much for taking the time to talk to us this was a somewhat more serious sign of the alice sit president mohamed morsi you are what sort of think i mean so cool shevardnadze thanks for watching i'll see you next
