water is an issue in cairo.et enough water for this new capital, they are going to have to siphon supplies from other cities in the area. the u.n. is predicting that by 2025, this new city could be experiencing water shortages. carol: speaking of water, nigeria is dredging up the atlantic to create a new community. cristina: lagos is sinking. jason: the most populous city in africa. also has this issue of not being able to grow any further. they have dredged up, chinese dredgers were brought in. they dredged up an island 10 kilometers square off of the iesty is -- the ritz neighborhood in lagos. we see three or four big towers in the middle of what is going to be a marina district, renderings showing beautiful buildings. it kind of looks like the high line. there is this gigantic seawall that protects this island from the elements, from surges. the problem is that dredging causes erosion in the surrounding areas and may cause more damage from storm surges. many of the communities are poor. environmental activist

i met amal‘s husband, a human rights lawyer, in his cairo office. this way. the government says it's trying to fight rumours that destabilise the country. the government has now set up a hotline for egyptians to report fake news and rumours, but the crackdown appears to go wider than that. hundreds of websites have been blocked in egypt since last year. some of them belong to critical media organisations and some to human rights groups. egyptian authorities deny any systematic crackdown on free speech. amal‘s husband told me he hoped his wife would be released on appeal and reunited with their three—year—old son, zidan. while there might be some light at the end of the tunnel for amal, the space for expressing dissent in this country is obviously shrinking, and the phrase "fake news" is seen by many opponents as a powerful tool to silence them. throughout this week, there'll be much more on this on bbc world news — in our beyond fake news season. you can also follow the debate and research by visiting our website, that's at bbc.com/fakenews, orjoin

so i'm in a bunch of meetings throughout the die where we're seeing scary images in cairo. people scaling the wall of our compounds, of our embassy compounds, waving black flags, looting, rioting and trying to break into the embassy where we had a lot of people. that's playing itself out during the day. then, that afternoon, we hear there's something happening in benghazi. and already there's a bit of a asymmetry because in cairo you have international news media, we have a huge embassy we can see what's happening in realtime. benghazi is fairly off the grid. we have a very small diplomatic post in intelligence post in benghazi. there's not a national media presence so you can't see this happening. all we have are the reports we're getting from the people a who are there which immediately go dark, and in a really chilling moment i knew the ambassador, chris stevens. i had met with him before he had gone out. and one of the ways we could get information from him. we hear this initial report that there is an attack, then we hear nothing and then there's a phone call from chri

in one thousand nine hundred fifteen the british high commissioner in cairo so henry mcmahon began negotiating an alliance with a same ben-ali the shot of mecca an exchange of letters took place between mcmahon and hussain about the possibility of joining some sort of revolt against the ottomans the result of that was that the british promised should be for sane and his sons gold and guns and an arab state or states to be founded after the war was over and in return for that they would declare war on the ottomans. the same was also the choice of our of the secret resistance groups. that i threw in the water and that is that we have a political all of our faces as i behave there what did you have. and. well that lady who what he for life while the had to have them all the walk out of iraq and you have to deal with our one year but they'll be out there on a bit. but it was far from simple. all of this maneuvering was going on at the same time as the british and french representatives mark sykes and francois pico were carving up the middle east between the. shereef a saint dreamt of a great arab

the egyptian fervently nationalist leadership went to the ang locathedral in cairo. in deli, narrow and his entire family went to the british cathedral there. and of course here in washington, truman and his family went to a mass at the national cathedral. the passing of george the sixth was significant. queen elizabeth the second acclaimed a new era for a new generation, and a commonwealth that was bound in unity the way no empipe ever had been. she spoke as monarch of a quarter of the world's people. the americans took this truly seriously. and her coronation in june 1953, was easily the greatest political and military spectacle of the century. it was not only a religious, social, cultural coronation, it was hard power shown straight up. over the entire month of june. as the entire military might of the commonwealth appeared in fly-overs, in a naval display. this registered strong with the americans. we were alsoferved with a real strong secretary of state in john foster dulls. who unlike atkinson had a visceral contempt for the british. of course he had british fr
