8:04 pm
military what did. people were in. the government and they all the egyptian people did not accept that. we did not accept the terrorism we did not accept the fascism we did not accept what did spec from losers of course they're trying to justify their trying to hold of to the two of course their supporters the united states for help. we will never ever let anyone interfere in our country if they accept this that the. americans accept that people will go and shoot soldiers in the pentagon we will accept there wasn't brothers to shoot our soldiers in. terrorist operations now they gyptian army has a started a large scale anti terrorist operation in the sinai peninsula bordering israel
8:05 pm
heavy weapons are being deployed to the area waste stream is attacks on the military have been increasingly frequent the details for marty's policia. is that the egyptian military has closed all interim says in and out of the sinai it's launched a forty eight hour operation to deal with a sudden increase in the number of islamicist operating there the information that we have is that there have been violent clashes in the area of share this way it not only center there but also in areas like elevation other villages in the surrounding area these clashes between the army and extremists that have been operating there for quite some time now let me remind you that the situation in sinai has been on really ever since the overthrow of the former egyptian president hosni mubarak and since then we've witnessed an increase in these kind of attacks these kind of violent acts happening in the sinai but we're hearing from the army
8:06 pm
as that there are at least five hundred extremist militants operating in an area of four square kilometers now the army says that they are heavily armed it says that they could use civilians in those areas as human shields and at the same time the army has deployed both its if force and on the ground troops who are heavily armed allegedly muslim brotherhood supporters are taking up arms and i'll go into the sinai where there are joining these islamist groups from the army we're hearing that they have been fired on that they have been attacked by these extremist elements more than sixty bedwyn tribes signed a memorandum that they support the egyptian army and that this is a support for the egyptian people they're trying to put some kind of order there but the situation is merely continuing to descend into chaos that's now cross alive . syria analyst at the think tank foreign policy in focus some analysis on the situation right now. any opinion of the people attacking government forces in the
8:07 pm
sinai peninsula and one of the aims. well these are islamists and the current situation in egypt basically is a fertile ground for islamist and other groups in the sinai which has no level of security for for decades to basically. flex their muscle against the central government and hopefully they will get more support from the muslim brotherhood which looks like they have they have been doing. i personally don't think it's going to amount to anything the military will be able to control it and they have a large force now with orders to do basically control them or else this large force we're talking about that's the new. anti-terrorist sweep on that peninsula what is their ultimate goal is the military fighting terrorism or are
8:08 pm
they just eliminating political rivals here they are doing both fighting terrorism and also also eliminating part of. the government. opposition the muslim brotherhood and slyness at the same time trying to make the borders stores neighboring countries such as israel more safe. in a more. normal relationship do you think it's for them to do you do you think they want to come into power by some by eliminating political rivals like the muslim brotherhood is that they altoona goal. well some of their actions and especially killing civilians is really condemned by many good people around the world and in and in egypt and i think. to some it was surprising to me they
8:09 pm
went through the road of using my bullet independent observers i actually have verified and i hope that will not continue because it's not in the benefit of the egyptians nor of the military not of the muslim brotherhood the problem is that the muslim brotherhood's came to power in egypt innocent power over their actions their actions towards the majority of the b. it will not appropriate in terms of concentrating power and eliminating basically all those who supported them so they lost the overwhelming majority of support of the egyptian people they really are now i'm a minority and they are acting that they will win their demands regarding this and i think that's a dangerous path and the government is taking also a dangerous pass. unfortunately every both sides think it's a zero sum game that they have to win the situation that would be a disastrous road for the country of egypt and will not be beneficial the reason is
8:10 pm
the muslim brotherhood's numbers are pretty large even though they are a minority it's very very large and they have support from the egyptian people even though the opposition and those supporters of of the secy go home an. overwhelming majority mrs so what mr schumer let me just jump in here they you spoke a little bit about this international community has expressed its condemnation of the way things have been handled by the army in suppressing the under a set not should do you expect all should we be expecting some kind of action from these countries who have now openly said this is wrong this should not be happening i doubt it. anything will happen from that however that they are calling for an independent investigation and that would be a good the military should rather than them investigate as you know they they denied that they were shooting they claimed the last one brotherhood were shooting
8:11 pm
now and really nobody knows the exact details but in different observers really for their review showing the military shoot life rolls on. but just that i think we still have a little bit more time turning to the civil unrest in the country dejection army set a deadline for this weekend for the muslim brotherhood to start negotiations these talks are really what the two sides are looking for can they bring a resolution to what's happening on the streets of egypt well like i said it's in the benefit of both sides they come out of the move and this path is very dangerous and there will be a lot of casualties from the muslim brotherhood need to realize that reinstating morsi to the presidency is non-negotiable the military will not go for it whatsoever nor the opposition so they have to give up some of the military has to turn the country into civilians as fast as possible and hold elections for the
8:12 pm
parliament and the presidency the faster they go the route of civilian government and the military goes to their barracks the better it is for both sides well new elections coming up we'll have to see i'm sure a lot of egyptians are wondering if those elections will be adhered like the last one with morsi thank you very much they miss a senior analyst for the think tank foreign policy live from maryland in the u.s. . right i will bring you all the day updates on the situation in egypt as it unravels and all the latest on the story as well as a full timeline of events voters and expert opinion off a log on to our web site at our teeth dot com. thousands have protested in several cities across germany venting their anger at america's widespread surveillance and berlin's role in it the revelations made by edward snowden have sparked public fury with many germans losing trust in their government
