this through the powers of persuasion, we will not have any casualties. if not, and the police force has to use the authority that it is mandated to use in accordance with the law, then they will do so. some manning the barricades were getting supplies industry- leading goggles and gas masks in case tear gas is used against them. the muslim brotherhood is warning there could be disastrous consequences. if the camps are cleared or surrounded. , there is palpable tension in the city, which has sincey seen 250 killed the former president morsi was removed last month. james, i imagine many of the pictures we have seen, supporters in jubilant spirits,

not often the pictures we have seen out there. >> no, i spent a lot of the night from 3:00 in the morning until about 6:00 in the morning atr the mosque at the cap -- the encampment of pro-morsi supporters. the atmosphere i found there was reasonably relaxed. there were speakers continuing to try to motivate the crowd, but i also saw a lot of people trying to catch asleep at 4:00 in the morning. byer people were standing sandbags, saying they would never leave the camp until their president, president morsi, was reinstated. driving around that particular area, we saw no buildup of security forces. >> the words are clear from the authorities who have spoken to the bbc, that a move is going to be made, but also very mindful that the international community is keeping a close eye on events. >> and i think that will be very much in the forefront of the minds of those who issue an order to clear the camps.

essentially, egypt will not want to antagonize members of its own population and particularly the europeanrters, union and the united states, who made it clear that they will not tolerate bloodshed against protesters. i think very much there are elements within the egyptian government who say that their opinion 2 attacks -- who say that there have been two attacks against protesters and if there were a third it would damage their image around the world. >> we have heard about violence between groups upon each other. is that carrying on? >> that is something i haven't seen for the moment. in the chore that i too late at night and did not see any signs of people carrying weapons at the pro-morsi encampment. i saw mostly peaceful people, people who said they would stay there to defend the president.

the security forces maintained their positions in armored personnel carriers but maintain them at least in some cases several hundred meters from those protesters. there is no sign i pick up overnight that there was a rate about to take place, but we look at the stamens from the government that said -- statements from the government that set the camps had to go and people in the pro-morsi encampments will be waiting at any time for those raids to happen. >> always good to see you. thanks very much. james reynolds and cairo. president robert mcgaughey -- president robert mugabe has made his first public speeches since winning in the disputed zimbabwean election. he says that the votes were legitimate and has a strong words for his arrival, morgan tsvangirai. these words he had regarding morgan tsvangirai, he did not mince them, did he? >> he can go and hang was his

a set has happened. of course, this is a holiday now. what happens next? he lodged the complaint with the constitutional court on friday. today and tomorrow or holidays, so the court will begin to hear that complaint later this week. it will then have 2 weeks to decide whether its support -- whether it supports the opposition view that the election was stolen or if it will go ahead and agonize president mugabe -- recognize president mugabe as the president and within 48 hours the inauguration will happen. morgan tsvangirai boycotted the heroes day speech in harare and issued a statement of his own, saying that "the stolen vote is a major betrayal of our unalienable right to vote for which many people died, and the nation is mourning over the audacity of so few to steal from so many." say 1.2 million voters
