over 350 have been injured.he two separate blasts both hand outside of mosques, the first was close to the home of the outgoing prime minister. the second explosion went off minutes later near the hospital. al jazeera's correspondent on on the phone. the death toll keeps going up. >> yes, powerful explosions, victims, really the worshippers who were leaving the mosques following the friday prayers. like you mentioned the explosions went off just minutes apart. there has been no claim of responsibility, but lebanese officials say the attacks had one objective and that is to create secretary aaron strife in lebanon [ technical difficulties ] it is really a dangerous time for lebanon especially at a time when the syrian war has divided people in this country. the divide is not just along political lines but sectarian lines. just last week an explosion targeted civilians. and at the time they did say that the area was targeted simply because of hezbollah's role in the fighting in syria. tensions high. and officials

so it's almost like he'd never been sentenced in the first place because he's already been in detention for several he is now can't keep them in there before he's actually sentenced you know with he has been in jail obviously because there been other charges against him knew of charges in regards to to corruption now that he's been acquitted of their use there's no reason to keep him hidden jailed however he still have forty eight hours left for the prosecutor to basically appeal the decision to release him if they decide that he should be released and he will remain in jail almost see you know how long they'll keep him as the trial goes forward the reaction on the streets is being wrought largely makes people here a kind of reeling from the situation in the last few days because basically when the bloodiest weeks in egypt in modern history in the fighting between mostly supporters and security forces they're starting to pull will do by that the funhouse mubarak could be free to the same time is it almost too much for some revolutionaries here who speaking to me have told me that what w

this has been years that the college has been going down this path. i mean, you know, so -- and those things haven't been addressed. and as the standards rise and things need to be met differently and the population changes and we have more students at the college, all of those things, you know, tighter structures are all thing i think we would all want in place. you know, san francisco unified is a much better place for it. and we're seeing now the school district actually is very focused on student achievement and you're starting to see those improvements. but we had to make some really hard decisions around how we were going to make sure that the places where there's some potential for our institution to fall on its knees were addressed and that's what this opportunity is. and it's another 12 months to show significant improvement. and i do want to just quickly say that the improvements that the trustees that are elected trustees and the staff made over this last year was huge. (applause) >> and it should be acknowledged because they worked really

there have been. lots of violations and by hurricane but unfortunately there is rarely anything in the list certain media regarding all the violations torture is a daily act and all slowly little ripper tour of the united nation of on torture has been stopped from going to behind but that has not made this shameful way of supporting the government by mailing list and of course over the past week three of the major human rights groups and this is the internet human rights watch and redress they have issued very strong urging for the for the u.k. government was singleness to stop supporting the dictator and tried to enforce respect of the human rights but unfortunately the money and the patrol dollar talks higher than the principles and the worst that is very unfortunate you with r.t. this morning the still plenty more to come including big ben is watching the rubbish can spying on houses by on the streets of london it's not science fiction but science fact we will tell you more in a few minutes time. a

they've been abused.he incidents of mental illness and drug abuse tends to be statistically higher among the women. and so they present very unique problems. >> most of these women come from socioeconomic-deprived backgrounds, sometimes parentless, a lot of times victims of domestic abuse, child abuse. they a concern that a lot of times men don't have in the sense that they have children that they are interested in and that they take care of once they are back out there. >> justice, mecca, natasha, dominique, latanna, harvey, navarn, nakim and elabrina. and i should be home with them, not sitting up here for one day. >> i didn't even do nothing. you know what i did? i pulled the turnstile back and i seen the cops and i ran. >> you wanted to get a free subway ride? >> yeah. >> how many times have you been in rikers? >> about 38, 40 times. assault, trespassing. my mother and father died when i was like, 13, and i always had these problems, coming back and forth to jail. >> there are a lot of issues associat

officials have been accused of moving slowly to investigate the crimes -- hungarian officials have been accused of moving slowly. >> hostility toward minorities has grown in hungary in recent years. a far-right party has become the third largest in parliament. >> the men shot dead one victim was she was sleeping. they also set a house on the buyer. and those inside tried to escape, they shot dead a child and his father. >> the accused are guilty as charged. they are sentenced to life in prison without parole. >> she is the mother of the man killed while fleeing his burning home. she says authorities botched investigations. >> there are many strange things about this case. the problem is that little things that could have turned up more clues were not examined properly. many say the sentence has not delivered justice and will do nothing to ease tensions. the tension is palpable where the town council recently cut the water supply to residents. hungary's governing party called the action responsible, even though it has been a hot summer. the trial of the perpetrators has received little a

the advance that the rebels have been making the last few days enter into that province has been a real kind of sharp message to the regime that they shouldn't feel safe anywhere. it is not surprising that they seem to have struck back forcefully in this area. just an early report which hasn't been confirmed of an air strike in a northern province which has been under the control of islamist groups the last few months. so, it is quite interesting that while the regime strategy at the moment is mainly focused on consolidating its security zone from the coast down to the capital, it is interesting that they are still, it seems, capable of doing the strike in the north where the rebels are much stronger. >> the end of ramadan turned into a blood bath in iraq with a dozen car bombs exploding, mainly in iraq, killing a number of people reportedly fueled by sectarian tensions between sunnis and shiites. we learn more about the violence that is thought to be the worst in five years. >> there have been car bombs basically so far. most of which were in baghdad in the neighborhoods mostly targeti

the lawyer of mr snowden who has been assisting the former n.s.a. contractor whether he is people who work here in russia for the past couple of weeks now what. the status quo out that ad was snowden now is in a safe place and that the people who work that he has been given is valid for up to a year which means that for this period of time for a year he is free to stay work and travel around the russian federation now this is something new that we've been receiving and though these people work as we've just mentioned. given him this chance to finally leave the airport and third on the russian so well. i mean i thank you very much indeed and joining us now live for more reaction to this that we can get from john killick executive director of the open rights group mr killick welcome to r.t. so what's your reaction to the announcement that snowden's whereabouts will remain undisclosed for now. while i guess he wants to have some privacy. something that everyone has been lacking a little bit perhaps feeling the lack of since his revelations i guess he n

medical has been notified. >> he's been doing this quite a while.fth time he's cut. we've had to pull him out and deal with him this way, and it's getting to be about a monthly thing. >> what's going on with you? why you doing this? >> i tried to talk but nobody wanted to listen. >> who'd you try to talk to? talk to mental health? >> i tried. to get them -- they ignored me. >> a psychological emergency. >> yes, sir. i'm in fear for my life. the news hit me in the face. >> who did? fear of your life? >> nurse in the building's see if we can get him up into the wheelchair. >> work with me. get on your feet. watch your step, backing up. >> while inmate doctor made serious allegations, mental health staff say this is not the first time. after several evaluations, they say doctor has ulterior motives for cutting himself. >> he's noted for doing something like this if something doesn't go right, but what he's doing is not related to his mental health. it's, in my opinion, it's more manipulative. he's trying to get out of something, or he's using us as a w

meteorologist robert speta has been following this story. robert. >>> i've been watching this one. it is tropical storm pulling just north osteast or luzon. a similar situation as we saw last week with trami that moved to the north and impacted taiwan. but it pulled in the monsoon from the southwest here and that brought in these heavy rain showers. so the waters are still receding following that. this storm system very well could be bringing a similar condition. now, it is going to continue to push off here towards the north expecting it to intensify up to a severe tropical storm intensity, but it's still not going to be a big windmaker. the wind could spread out as it pushes to the north, but it's going to be a big rainmaker, in the next 24 to 72 hours possibly moving into taiwan. something we want to continue to watch out for for the risk of flooding and even landslides with it. farther to the north we have this stationary boundary. it's slowly drifting off to the east though. much of western japan going into your tuesday you're going to be seeing improving conditions following

>> no, everybody just worries that it's been contaminated because there's been ongoing bombings and attacksince wednesday last week. there was a lot of ongoing combat in that area and that combat has mostly been initiated by the syrian government, bombers, jets bombing that area continually. it's a rebel strong hold. they did not cease any of the firing until today. everybody thinks that the area has been compromised by that on going fighting and by the fact that it took more than five days to get everybody in on the ground. the entire area is suspect and questionable in terms of it being compromised, but people are still hopeful that they will have enough evidence there on the ground when they come back out, perhaps even later today, that they'll be able to pinpoint something. >> david jackson joining us live from beirut. thank you very much. >> general wesley clark is the former nato allied supreme commander. he talked to aljazeera about the situation in syria and what the u.s. strategy there should be. with more on the general's view between the diplomatic and military muscle needed, we

have the has been wiped out. the center has been wiped out. congressional districts have become more red or more blue, take your pick. >> some march, not november day is the more relevant month in the election cycle. >> it is a different country in that sense in the way it's been sorted out. a lot of people blame redistricting for it. it's only a part of it. >> what else is it? >> i think bill bishop wrote the book the sorting out. it's a geographic sorting out that's occurred and we can see it in lots of different ways. this wasn't only the presidential election, there were only four states in the country that were decided by five points or less. >> yep. >> and yet the overall national margin was four points. >> right. >> so red states redder, blue states bluer, congressional states moving in opposite directions. once you get elected you're in a safe position unless you get in a primary. >> and what your one time colleague ron brownstein called the coalition of the descendent, probably hardens the reds and the blues in the sense that the city

well there hasn't been any change by the policies that. made it into law but there has been a change in our movement we're more organized than we were say in two thousand and eight or two thousand and twelve and we're starting to realize the diversity of our coalition and how we can work together to move our nation and our state forward yeah i mean it seems that occupy wall street it seems that a lot of the roots of what's going on in north carolina seems to kind of it's very grassroots it's very dynamic it's very eclectic and i mean it's sad to hear that you know within its thirteenth week it's it's not getting the traction within you know making legislative changes that it that it should but i understand that you know there's a lot of special interests at play here that you're that you're fighting against can you talk about what some of the special interests are that that might be derailing the opposition to this to the government in north carolina sure there's many a special interest to go around including you know duke energy the big p

nothing has been done about that. because the government clearly and for good reason does not to fight the you. but you're going to do nothing about and then focus entirely on people coming here for legitimate reasons from india and pakistan as well as asian and african countries, then you are creating discrimination. you're saying that you do not want the asians or the black people to come here, but we're ok with white people from europe coming year. that is the problem i have with that side of things. that is about immigration itself. illegal immigration where people overstay their visas is a smaller problem. everybody who comes into this country stays here. one is about immigration. one is about people who do not have documentation in the uk. i want to clarify that immigration is the issue that people are worried about. back, want to cut that then focus on europe. if you want to stay with europe, because it will provide us with and it fits, -- benefits, then there's not much you can do. surprised that there is litt

and he has been locked up three times in the past 15 months. do you throw stones? never?no. >> reporter: he is not the only boy to complain of beatings in detention. and personal testimonies have been examined by israel's police investigation's department. >> complaints are put forward and that is why they are being investigated. we will see if there is evidence evidence and if it is they will get to court and there will be trials and we will see what the results are. >> reporter: his family doesn't expect anything from this investigation. his father says how can you get justice if your judge is also your persecuted. the number of cases of alleged violence against minors here at the police station points to a systematic abuse that must be stopped. >> it can go from ill treatment to things that could be considered as torture and slaps and punching, kicking, more severe violence, different threats, sexual threats, threats on the life of the interrogated person and these are all things which obviously should not happen during interrogation. >> reporter: boys grow up fast bef

the central subway have been award and those have been award for all construction work necessary to bring the project to service. to provide you with some updates regarding some future work if we go to palace work we have a new retrieve process to begin shortly within the next week. it's currently going through the permitting phase. the station construction the contractor is currently assembling all of his presubmittal construction. the first two phases are the chinatown station and the moscone station. the stations take about 5 years to construct with and they'll be completed in the year of 2018 and revenue service will begin in 20019. similar to other projects we've got a number of small business outreach meeting too many for me to count with the consent of bringing small businesses and introducing them to the community. i'm pleased to report that over half of the work that was done in the area has gone to small businesses. and on the construction side approximately 25 percent of the hard construction work has gone to the small business community. showing an overall percentage abo

where he's been trapped in transit limbo since june. has been following developments on the whole snowden joining us live here on the program good morning to you first and foremost what does this temporary asylum mean does anybody have any idea of the whereabouts now of edward snowden. well now that snowden has managed to leave the transit zone of war to this is a whole new chapter in this story but if earlier we knew at least approximately where he was now his location is even more secret. even to some of you to the fact that he's the most wanted person on planet earth to do hugh be concerned about the issue of security that includes questions of safety and the police where he is going to live it's all up to him as usual we will consult and advise him but on other issues it's up to him for meeting the press yes he's ready to meet the russian media but you need to understand you still need some time to adapt to russian realities a lawyer on the personally accompanied snowden and we can weeks representatives harrison alex of the airport

over here here's here's the answer look my life has been chronicled there has been there been endless articles for the first three weeks of this campaign larry i answered every question about the past and everything was you know as you know these are the companies didn't would have had your chance there was a guy there was a moment it was the first day down to union square that hundred fifty degrees i was wearing a dark balloon wall suit surrounded i had no place to go surrounded by about one hundred and fifty reporters and i was held hostage in it hours a little over an hour of just being bombarded answered everything at a certain point you know the folks who are advising me and i said you know what the whitney and the onslaught of rumor innuendo at a certain point this campaign has to pivot to the substance so we said that's enough we've now answered all the questions and so this ongoing stream of stuff i have now said look we've answered enough about all that stuff i've answered questions for three weeks now the answer is we've answered enough let's throw it over as if nothing was

francis has been a city. when they talk about san francisco values, i take it in the most complimentary way. the values of st. francis and that is exactly what we are doing on this corner today, being channels of god's peace, giving love and light where it had not existed. but to thank each and every one of you for what you do. our mayor has been sort of the catalyst. he is where a lot of this comes together, public policy, private philanthropy and non-profit collaborations all works with the spark that makes it just ignite in a much bigger way. and he has been really a champion in that regard, not just as the mayor of this city, but long before that in his various capacities in leadership in our city. so we thank him for that leadership. because of each and every one of you sitting here, and most of all because of the vips today, the vips, the people who will live here. they are the very important people today. [ applause ] because of those very important people, this is a very important day in san francisco

there have been some news reports suggesting that has been something discussed, but as far as we knowothing any further than that. >> thanks so much, jeane from washington, d.c. >>> well, it's been 50 years since martin luther king's famous "i have a dream" people in 1963. 200,000 took part of the march for jobs and freedom in washington, d.c. it was seen as one of the key moments in the fight for equality for african-americans. thousands gathered to commemorate the speech at the u.s. capitol on saturday. the march was is a series of memorial events over the next five days. it was suggested that king would be disappointed with the state of equality today. >> what are the issues that the marchers are trying to focus attention on this year? >> reporter: well, the people who you see now finishing--these speeches having been finished are wiping their way over to the washington monument. they've been hearing speaker after speaker basically deal with several issues that many of them actually martin luther king never actually touched on, but beyond that, for example, martin luther king never

it's been 30 days, mediation, there's been involvement of officials all over the state.r isn't good enough. they have to reach a deal records the governor has sent his top mediators to the bargaining table. but jerry

accepted i think it would have been a very good opportunity to say look he starts with. a clean sheet as far as we're concerned we want to take him as we find him and it would have been a good opportunity for to go to have informal discussions are around the inauguration. and to do some sounding. too he was going to behave in office so i think it's an opportunity missed. i hope that there are conversations going on that are beginning to try and work out a new relationship with what is after all a new president at the end of the day in this very careful dance between tehran and a western leaders every action and non-action will certainly play a part in vatican on where relations are we headed reporting from london and test ourselves. now the main challenge that us on the road on a face is the new president is that of easing the economic sanctions that continue to grind hard on the iranian people just over the past two years the country has faced his toughest most comprehensive western penalties to date and the most painful have been punitive measures by the u.s. and e.u.

just 16 years before it had been attacked in a native rate and several people had been killed.several of deducted. this was still fresh in their memories. we had been used during our daily bread with our weapons in our hands, therefore we cannot be supposed to be fully acquainted with the mysteries of court policy but we look upon ourselves as able to judge so far concerning our right as men. we look with horror and indignation of the violation. many of our women had been used to handling the cartridge and load the muskett and password that we have for our enemies are not yet grown rusty. and so, what they had discovered is if these growing tensions should ever move in the direction of violence, ballan militiamen and the two entered 50 tons of massachusetts were there for them. and if the words were in january of 1773 with any indication, these people were willing to fight. so the tensions with uptick. sam adams, john adams and several other leaders were on their way to philadelphia at the end of august and release of tumbler of 1774. thomas gage, the british general, has been

a state of emergency has been declared in the u.s. state of california after a raging wildfire swept into yosemite national park the blaze doubled in size overnight and fills the city of san francisco to shut down some power lines the wildfires have also led to the evacuation of hundreds of people from a nearby town officials recall that only five percent of the blaze has been contained so far. germany has become the first country to recognize bitcoin as a legal unit of currency holdings of this size of a cash and are subject to german tax laws and can be exchanged for other currencies within the banking system while she's pisano reports now from the big corncob. well germany and particularly when it is one of the places in the world that has really embraced bitcoin as perhaps a new major player when it comes to world currency i'm currently stood on the floor of the trading floor of the exchange this is where the coins come be cool for cash it's a great growing a community here is five berlin and if they said guys like this dressed in

there for quite some time you've been of. a referendum on whether to join in one nine hundred seventy to have the united kingdom had a referendum on whether to join it would almost certainly have gone the same way as norway but the british are very pleased to see it may have been a version. of the british parliamentarians well i don't accept that decisions made by a remote unaccountable government in defiance of popular opinion is binding in perpetuity you know the basis of democracy is giving force to the popular will now i personally i wonder whether the has ever been much enthusiasm among. the general population for what the european union was intended to be now i may be wrong about that. and the only way to test whether i'm right or wrong is to put it to referendum and if i lose the referendum i will of course accept the result with goodwill that will be you know retire from public life i have done my best but let's at least let the people decide well mr hand you just alluded to the negative public sentiment you have the

just a privacy breach it's like the whole dike has just been completely excavated the oceans been pouring in. with the united states convicted whistleblower bradley manning who past proof of american war crimes to wiki leaks is now seeking a pardon from the white house and manning was sentenced to thirty five years in jail this week for the biggest leak of military data in history and a letter though addressed to barack obama it was about i was stressed he's a patriot who acted to protect the very liberties that americans hold dear however the mainstream media has just launched a fresh smear campaign against him he is guy nature can reports bradley manning sentence of thirty five years behind bars has said on the president it punishment threshold for whistleblowers bradley manning should be walking the streets and being treated for who use a whistle blower who exposed war crimes in iraq afghanistan secret war in yemen and the other corruption of the governments the us supported bradley manning supporters gathered outside the white house to call for the president to pardon the whistleblowe

no evidence whatsoever that iran's nuclear program has been anything but peaceful so iran is working within the framework of international law the n.p.t. and the united states and its allies are violating fundamental human rights of the iranian people by trying to wreck the iranian economy and by trying to make ordinary iranians suffer ok tom would you like to reply to that in washington. sure thank you peter i think mohamed i disagree with a number of the things you said first of all it's quite clear from the director general amano and the rest of the international atomic energy agency board of governors reports that iran remains in noncompliance with the binding mandates that it imposed on it through the u.n. security council resolutions you can call those western conspiracies but i think that in the main we see lots of military dimensions to iran's nominally supposedly peaceful civilian nuclear program so i think the west is given several options here one is dialogue and one is sanctions and of course there are other options that can be entertaining it was certainly not good news

emergency law which which has only been used to violate our human rights as free egyptians now has been plenty of shocking footage after the military use full force when swooping on prime morsy protesting camps and his some of what has been caught on camera it is disturbing you can see people moving in one direction and then one appears to shoot another man in the lower part of your screen the muslim brotherhood as we've just heard says the government is responsible for all of the violence but there have been accusations of morsy supporters firing at police too and it's not clear who was shooting at who in this video either and also we do not know whether the victim died or not war correspondent eric margolis who's written extensively about the middle east says western powers aren't doing anything to help the situation which means the violence could get even worse. we are very close to the civil war in egypt not only in cairo but in xandra and down the nile as you head into upper egypt the people get more militant there and it's historically areas of larger violence so it's very worriso

going on israel has been colonizing palestinian land very quickly so the israel prime. ject israel project doesn't stop but the talks provide it with a very respectable cover but on the other hand there are some observers who believe that both banjul minute after enjoying kerry of the year secretary of state who put a lot of effort into kickstarting those talks are now thinking about their own personal legacy so there might be more incentive for them to be a bit more serious about that and if you look at any office recent actions here for example signed a decree to release about a hundred of palestinian prisoners he also promised still hold the referendum on on that issue so do those matters that he has taken make it a little bit more different this time around no i understand your point and i have new doat that from the united states side you knew john kerry and obama behind him they are really desperate i would say for a foreign policy success i mean look at the mess that the united states has created in across the arab world and it's in a position where it actually h

now it's been compromised over the years by the ocean, by highways, by frogs, by snakes, and it's been modified. but this effort is to restore it to the greatest extent possible that's compatible with providing a good environment for both frog and snake and golfer. and i think it's a good plan. i've looked at it carefully and wholeheartedly support it. with that, let me ask commissioner, you had a com? ment? >> yes. ~ having served as a commissioner during all of these discussions, i can unequivocally attest to the fact that we had numerous -- we had countless number of experts come before us to discuss the merits of the nap plan, the existence or the continuation of the sharp park, and all the different configurations for how -- how to preserve sharp park and have the coexistence and protect the species there. it was always the discussion of nap plan along with sharp park. we're always front and center together, as i recall. there was never any discussion that i heard of to do separate e-i-rs and there was always -- there was always discussion that we should -- i mean, although the --

i'm sure she's been involved, there has been violations here. i'm sure that the board that is authority to revoke that -- >> that wasn't my question. my question was the way i read your brief you indicate one could make the argument that this penalty exceeded what the department would normally do for these violations. >> okay. yes, put it that way. i think she's being revoked or she has been revoked primarily because of the allegations of very serious violations which starts with item a, i don't think it's with unsanitary conditions or being open late hours is what someone would be ordinarily revoked for. there are more serious violations and that's what i meant by that nexus argument. so far as unsanitary violations i don't think that's why someone is revoked for. when miss hurtado asks what i thought would be an appropriate sanction, suspension would be appropriate. >> thank you. if you can sit down we can hear from the department of public health now. >> good evening commissionerscious , this is virginia from the department of public health.

these emergency crews have been mobilized, and commanding that there has been a response commemorateith the level of threat at the moment. >> thank you. more now on our top story. forces in the region are ready to launch strikes should president obama give the order. but what form could a response take? we take a look. >> reporter: the obama administration said it will respond to this. the use of chemical weapons in syria. but the goal they insist is not to get rid of syrian president bashir al-assad, but to accepted him a message. >> it is not our policy to responds to this tran with regie change. >> reporter: it would involved cruise missiles towards infrastructure not chemical stock piles. >> in terms of shifting momentum on the ground, it's not likely. i think that target strikes are really more powerful in terms of the signaling that they achieve. and sending a very strong message that the use of chemicals weapons will not be tolerated. >> reporter: many believe the president left himself little choice but to respond. this was one years ago. >> a red line for us is we start seei

what has been forecast. this is not obvious. apparently, it is a trial about bribes and corruption, which is a very widespread phenomenon among chinese leadership. in fact, it is a political trial. as bo xilai represents in a way the neo-maoist line, which has many supporters not only -- also , the people's liberation army. the question is, will the new leadership send a positive signal to supporters of bo xilai by giving him a light sentence, or will they give him a very harsh sentence bo xilai, which will mean that bo xilai's -- will move -- which will mean 's line will -- >> this is also a political trial, so what about the transparency aspect of it? the higher echelon within the chinese communist party saying that they want more transparency and that no politician is above the law? >> that is the real problem. accused has been unjustly by campaigns that do not respect chinese law. the trial against bo xilai also violates the law. it happens over a year and a , af after he was arrested year after he was e

i've been saying that and i've been asked from all sides.s that today i really don't want it. so, no, i will not give it any statistical probability. >> so while people she asked don't really like the grand coalition but according to opinion polls a lot of people like it so it's probably a question of who you ask, carolyn. >> definitely. just wondering how prominently do european matters feature in this election campaign? we know that germans do suffer from this bailout fatigue. is that a big bone of contention in this election campaign? >> well, not at all. it's all about domestic issues. the nsa scandal is, of course, one of the issues discussed here. but european or euro crisis matters don't -- are not discussed at all among politicians. angela merkel tries to downplay it, of course, because that little bit of topic can spill over quite a bit of insecurities to her election campaign because there's, of course, rumors that after the election we'll hear the whole truth about the size of the problem in greece and we'll see a new haircut. but

keep him in before he's actually sentenced now with he has been in jail obviously because there been other charges against him knew of charges in regards to corruption now that he's been acquitted of their use there's no reason to keep in him jail however he still have forty hours max for the prosecutor to basically appeal the decision to release him if they decide that he should be released and he will remain in jail almost see you know how long they'll keep him as that goes forward the reaction on the streets has been right largely mixed people here a kind of reeling from the situation in the last few days been basically in the bloodiest weeks in egyptian modern history in the fighting between mostly supporters and security forces. by that the fun of hosni mubarak could be three to the same time is almost too much for some revolutionaries here who speaking to me have told me that what was the point of coming out the streets two years ago what has been the point of fighting for justice and freedom and bread in the last two and a half years is the very person they started fighting ag
