the muslim brotherhood starts with the best organized campaign. >> democracy in action. not in theory, but in action. >> i am lyse doucet in downtown cairo, where i have been speaking to egyptians. the queues have been long and enthusiastic. for the most part, they have been orderly. >> welcome to gmt. i am george alagiah, with a world of news and opinion. also in the program -- the condoleezza are also voting today. we found l y japan's -- found out why japan's young are queu ing up. it is midday in london, 7:00 a.m. in washington, and 2:00 in the afternoon in cairo. the election pitches the organizational prowess of the muslim brotherhood with the pro- democracy activists. will it usher in the new era the tahrir square generation wants? let's get the latest from my colleague, lyse doucet. >> welcome to cairo. welcome to this area outside the polling station. this is a historic day for egypt. it's meant to move us closer to democracy. just 10 minutes away from where i am standing, the protesters say they will have nothing to do with elections that are under the supervis

the brotherhood is going to win the parliamentary election.tion is will it win outright? the presidential election and seize all power next year? the military is on the defensive now. it's no longer in control. in fact, it made concession it would relinquish all pow attorney 1st of july next year. the -- power on the 1st of july north korea year. the demonstrators are not accepting that. mubarak regime made a few concessions at the end. but thaw want the government to resign today. it would be unstable, government and national entity led perhaps by mohamed elbaradei, the famousiaea inspector and awarded with a nobel peace prize. that tells you a bit about norway and the peace prize. a weak civilian government. dominated by the brotherhood. on its face is anything except islamic egypt. if egyptian is islamic, the largest, strongest, most important arab country in the world it would be a catastrophe. regional and global. >> shannon: there are some, many out there and some within the administration who downplay the muslim brotherhood and the thre

you know in a few days time from the point of it was in brotherhood's not very good because they were very well organized from the beginning to contest the elections and they say that this will slowly fever secular forces and second the military they want to pulls what's going to happen in the new constitution which is not going to be very much sorry or oriented and this fourth or at least two of the five different strands of the muslim brotherhood is a no no but neither while some secular people there are also protesting because they want the military out of the picture out. heather you know obviously that's not going to happen the words this all going to go and if more and more people start turning out onto the streets again what's the west going to say about it. look at what kids look at if you wish should make the direct comparison we have a military dictatorship in egypt repressing people in a square in we have a financial dictatorship in new york repressing people in a square so you know try to make this go actually see that the whole seeing this is turning upside down purely ba

player why the muslim brotherhood paste of dunces u.-turn lately when all this happened in your country the revolution started back in january it was the muslim brotherhood playing a very pivotal role in organizing the protests now they say protests on the way forward going to the polls are the way forward why this very big utero. i think. did not disappear you mean by that because you didn't tear very well your question just saying when all this started off back in january it was the muslim brotherhood that was organizing a lot of the protests that we saw on the streets they were foremost in the front of the now they were behind the protests we've seen this last week and they say protests are the way forward now people must go to the polls why they changed their mind about protest. you're know the before of the last the last event a week before they participated alone i think with the salafist in. freud a. protest in tahrir square but they did not participate after. this is. a political dimension for the readers of this movement not to

the brotherhood is going to win. they know that. they are afraid that if the military is provoked, it will invoke martial law and canceled elections. the brotherhood and the military have a kind of at symbiosis, and what is happening now is the young, liberal urbanites out in the streets are usually the ones in these revolutions who gets swept away. they instigate the revolution, as in iran, or if you like, the russian and even the french revolution. they get swept away, and the discipline hard-core, like the brotherhood on the one hand and the military and other, are the ones left standing. >> if the brotherhood wins, what does it mean for us? >> is not entirely clear we will have an election. nobody knows where to go, it is not at all clear there will be an election. one and thing was sort of miss in this whole discussion, that in a way i cannot entirely explained, the egyptian military is totally intertwined with and controls a great deal of the economy, owns it in a way. that is why they are fighting so hard not to be ousted. th

well the muslim brotherhood has been historically a very traditionally conservative force of change they really believe one reforms as opposed to radical change from the outset of the egyptian revolution the leadership of the muslim brotherhood which is the older generation of muslim brotherhood was very hesitant to join the protests in the square what they've done this time around is they actually did take part but they never do officially they actually the official position is we will not be taking part the reason for that i think is that the now believe the best way to get to power is through elections that's why i think there is some sort of a negotiated understanding between scarff which is the military council and the muslim brotherhood leadership to get it to try and get the elections going at any cost and that's what they've been trying to do they've extended polling for two days instead of one on monday and tuesday they're pretty concerned about the security situation but they think that the best way for them to get to power is actually through elections even though i think we s

does that does not necessarily mean that the muslim brotherhood represents. some story or represents some kind of iran style cruel or a demand for that they are part of the fabric of the society and they will have to be incorporated like everybody else in the society all the you know i've been covering at islamic movements over the past five years and my newspaper and everybody at this and on islam is all believe that every single is that there are the society needs to be involved in the political process so we are not in the end in any. way going to exclude anyone from this this mosaic this situation now is as follows we are in is about to have elections and mind you most of the people here are not against having the elections now the fact that there have been angered and have been driven to go back to the here because of the excesses of the ministry of interior and because the people have been killed. a few tiley will for no reason at all does not mean that we are against having elections and going through the process of the democratic process that will red

but not everyone has joined protesters the muslim brotherhood who are poised to clean the wall see the upcoming elections are taking a wait and see approach in part out of fear that the world could be moved and many in egypt believe that postponing elections could only entrench military rule which in turn would for inflame the current instability well one thing is clear is that the status quo is untenable well let's see about that i mean if i go to you first let's start with the conspiracy theories a lot of people saying that the current violence of this week and that's going on as we speak right now is something that the military actually wanted to have happen in the first place because they dream we don't want to have these elections because they're actually afraid of the outcome i think this is the biggest mystery it seems like this would be a motive for them to postpone the elections but there is at the same time they're insisting on having the elections i mean this morning there was a press conference with members of. the staff and. the head of the electoral commission and they we

the muslim brotherhood had nothing to say about tahrir square. that is because the brotherhood would prefer the protesters to go home. they don't want anything to disrupt the progress towards elections on monday which is expected to be their victory. some brotherhood supporters went on from the mosque and too tahrir square. the leaders calculate that they are far enough to play it safe. >> elections would have probably taken the decision to go to tahrir square. obviously, we are willing to sacrifice some of our support to make sure the forces, this is the most important thing we are having. >> a third rally was going on in cairo in support of the armed forces and against the tahrir square protests. >> elections, he says, not tahrir. >> we support the army and police. >> if democracy emerges, it will be tested by the legacy of the dictatorship over mighty generals, intolerance, and bitter division. >> violence has marked the start of the american holiday shopping season. on black friday, retailers cut their price to get customers to go to their sh

about being on the streets and fighting for the future of egypt as i understand the muslim brotherhood was the party that took the least steps let's say on the streets they weren't really out on the streets with the people these last couple of months . you could say so because we haven't seen them joining in some major strikes in in egypt. and yes they haven't been there and if you are talking about this affecting their popularity i would say. yes but when it comes to voting power i think it's a bit different maybe the last you can say they lost the respect of a lot of the revolution. and what about claims that the muslim brotherhood has a very tight relationship with scout which of course is the supreme council of the armed forces who is in control of the party and a lot of people say really taking care of these elections making sure they go fairly and there's no fraud per se what i would say that there is a relation but i would say from my point of view that country muslim brotherhood fears the scaf more than. it's the other way or so because of their history with the with the army s

is now leading these these demonstrations these unrest the civil unrest the muslim brotherhood has gone from being a low profile stealthy player to being a very high very much a high profile player because it senses that its time has come and i think that's a very very important development to know that as this crisis continues so there is a big challenge that islam is could eventually take. in egypt because it points up that it's not what the west exactly because it does it. but it's certainly not i mean if you look at just some of the statements that have been coming out of muslim brotherhood out of the movement and its new party the freedom and justice party they're saying vets and nobody there you've been question the notion that islamic law shari'a should be the law of the land which on i'm sure that's a statement that a lot of factions in egypt would disagree with i mean there and other leaders have said that anyone who questions this idea of the church should be the law of the land they're being described as adulterers and alcoholics and drug addicts so this process of demonizing

this democratic transition may be flawed but the muslim brotherhood isn't letting that get in its way. elections will be taking place here, brian, over the next several months but the potential political fallout could be severe. egypt has long been a close and reliable u.s. partner in the middle east. that could be changing. >> richard engel watching it all in cairo. richard, thanks for that. >>> up next, as we continue on a monday night another scandal at another university making big headlines tonight and a wife's potentially damaging words about her husband caught on tape. then later some much needed help at a critical time for young people who are trying to chase their dreams and it's making a difference. >>> as you may know college sports has been rocked by yet another scandal involving allegations of sexual abuse. syracuse university fired its long time assistant basketball coach after three men accused him of molestation back in the '70s and '80s. our report tonight from nbc's jay gray. >> reporter: bernie fine has helped lead the syracuse orangemen to ncaa victories for more t

the powerful muslim brotherhood has agreed it talks. there is unity on what needs to go but little detail on exactly what will replace it and how and the dangers of getting it wrong. >> egypt is now in a deep political constitutional and security crisis. everyone i spoke to yesterday in the square and again this morning is saying they are staying here until their demands are met. you can see just behind this is a growing crowd of people. that is what we saw yesterday. hour by hour the crowds get larger. you may see in the middle the white tarpaulin. last night they were building what seemed to be more permanent structures. they said they were building a hospital, a sign they expect not just the crowds to stay but the confrontation to continue. we saw running battles in bone corner of the square near the road that runs into the interior ministry. as the protesters kept moving in. it was back and forth with throwing of tear goes canisters. protesters moving forward and back and hundreds of injured in the square. we should remind our viewe

the brotherhood deliberately told its members not to demonstrate. why? because elections start to be held on monday for the parliament. the brother is going to win. they know that. they are afraid that if the military is provoked, it will invoke martial law and cancel elections. what is happening now is the young liberal urbanite's out in the streets, usually the ones in these revolutions to get swept away. they instigate the revolution, as in iran, or if you like, the russian and even the french revolution. they get swept away, and the discipline and hard core, the brotherhood on the one hand, are left standing. >> first of all, it is not entirely clear they will have an election, because of the ability to have the ballots, nobody knows where to go pay is not at all clear there will be an election. one thing we miss in this discussion is in a way i cannot entirely explain, the egyptian military is entwined with and controlled in a great deal of the economy, owns it in a way. that is why they are fighting so hard not to be ousted. that kind of privilege,

muslim brotherhood party and gyptian party the muslim brotherhood if you don't want has been for several decades they have never shown the same tendencies as alex lamas have shown so there isn't really little reason to doubt their sincerity in terms of there will be peace was there will be democratic and they will allow all parties to function. it's perhaps the military wary though of the muslim brotherhood their eyes some speculation the muslim brotherhood is behind these protests demonstrating to the military that the people still have a voice and want to have their voices heard is it a case perhaps of the muslim brotherhood against the military here. no mark completely i i think the military is wary of democracy because they want to get their budget complete cleared the way they wanted them out they want and they want their power to be extended and they want to keep having the emergency iraq when they want it so they really when when they can't remember is what general sort of mubarak iraq are saying is this a light and basically that's was what it was cool your whole world was from b

and the west and they're not going to accept the fact that the muslim brotherhood is now going to be in control of the situation nor are they going to accept the fact that the military is going to be in control the situation because it's a real of it's a real revolution in people's minds and hearts has started and i don't think it's going to be suppressed. after the revolution the initial jubilation turned into frustration as we've witnessed back on tahrir square do you believe this election is going to be convincing enough at the end the day for egyptians to finally close this chapter on the transition period are you hopeful. i don't think the chapter is going to be closed quickly i think as i mentioned earlier there has to be some powell see considerations it's not a lections do not make a democracy that's my view all over africa you need to have the people involved in a very clear discussion of the future of the country what kind of economic policies are we going to have water food energy these are vital questions for egypt and in and leaders of the country no matter what party th

you know the people who would be voting for the muslim brotherhood today for example was quite absurd so with everything that's going on in egypt the muslim brotherhood was calling for a rally across this poor drusilla and a palestinian rally which is quite strange given the conditions in egypt oh roseman president of u.s. based out of a middle east german association thanks you for so. well the muslim brotherhood an islamic group considered terrorist by several countries is likely to pick up a bunch of seats in the egyptian parliamentary elections political analyst dr marcus puppet doublets says that if the western supported revolution seize is a mistake there's no going back if the people throw them in the people throw them in and they are very very popular you know it could be another scenario like in the gaza strip where five or six years ago when i speak when the gaza strip voted for hamas you know democratic way and the west attitude has been to shun a mass since then so i can't honestly say what they could do if the if if muslim if muslim brotherhood comes to power they come to

should the west be fearing a fact that there is a chance of the muslim brotherhood could get into power it doesn't necessarily mean that will be a radical islamic regime does it there are all sorts of interpretations of sharia law but is it a concern for the west is that what the west really want to know about the topic. esther's not worried at all if egypt really looks like it's going to go in a direction that is inimical to western and israeli foreign policy objectives and you will see military force being go there against egypt and it was against libya and this will go on and on throughout the region we have to keep in mind that the united states and israel and great britain invested a great deal of money and effort into people up with these shackles in order to keep the compliance from western foreign policy gap of course the extraction of their natural. which is the west is not just going to allow that you go by the wayside just because a few million disgruntled arabs happened to rise up and start demanding a freedom. and thanks so much for your time thanks for joining us author of

lou two big groups in the protests apart from muslim brotherhood they are before the biggest reacher there are six people who call themselves liberals who are very suspicious of the journals. but also the road more extreme muslim groups throughout the muslim brotherhood is actually rather soft and so we face the problem that the biggest single muslim group on the streets attention not necessarily the most radical and has been violence we should remember and we concentrate on curious work as a symbol and many people have been killed in fact ensues and we don't we're not assistance this is a big occasion and perhaps the focus just in cairo and since that is the country itself. i don't control but if i may we are running on time here but i'd like to turn our attention from egypt to that of syria if i just for a moment here there is a lot of well a lot of people are analyzing it and suggesting that we are expecting a libya style intervention into that of syria briefly your thoughts on that well i think the situation does seem to like if the so-called free syrian army can create an inclus

the powerful and popular muslim brotherhood is proving to be just that really with early indications they claim that they will most certainly have a large majority of seats in this election and early indications are looking to support that claim coming in second according to those protections is the eleanor party which party which is also it is the most party it's seen as having a much harder line there noticed the country's radical islamists but really these indications for certainly show us that the muslim brotherhood is well organized and they have become really the most powerful political sort of force in the country since the fall of hosni mubarak but that said this is only the first stage of these parliamentary elections for the lower house the next few stages will happen over the next couple of months and then there will be a vote for the upper house a lot of different opinions about what that means for the future of egypt at least over the next couple of months into march and it seems that a lot of egyptians don't have any illusions the military ruler announced very clearly t

that's something that i found out about the muslim brotherhood in these election is that people here right ahead of this vote are so focused on the police brutality and the killings that we saw over the past week that they're not really that focused on the fact that the muslim brotherhood could win and that is dangerous in the sense that it could help them get even more votes because a lot of the people we've been speaking to are in fact not going to vote they're going to boycott the vote because they feel like it's a joke like they're voting in the same kind of people that's gaffney is still running the country making sure that who they want to come into power gets into power so a lot of people both here at tahrir square and at the newly organized occupy cabinet when this was being called just outside the prime minister's office people are saying we're not going to vote because voting just supports. the military council that's running the country and when he said this is the first time you've been reporting for us from there in cairo how much have things changed entire square since

you know, it's either this regime or the muslim brotherhood so yeah, i think that is sort of have --t was the narrative that was being used. >> i mean, there is sort of a reality fact they're here. when i speak to egyptians and yasmine is there so she can confirm or disprove, but they are worried about an islamic takeover. i mean, the sadness is that many of the young revolutionaries we all salama but in the beginning happens if that way today risen to the challenge. inside you have a very organized force. the muslim brotherhood which has working mother methodically so it's not some sort of fantasy possibility. it is a real possibility. and i'm not sure that many egyptians would particularly like it appeared somewhat, but those women who don't want to cover their hair, for example, may not really welcome, you know, a strict islamic regime. but one has to be realistic. one has to look at what is unfolding day by day i think. >> yeah, one concern i might have is talking about egyptians. i mean, as we have learned from his revolutions come you know, we are talking about most popular ara
