giving you the best example is egypt under morsi. so my counterparts in egypt that i worked with for years still have the capabilities to deal with extremists inside egypt but they didn't feel like they had the political top cover. and so they eased off. what happened, al qaeda came back to egypt for the first time in 25 years very very quickly. >> rose: in the person as al qaeda not the muslim brotherhood. >> as al qaeda. an they're still there. largely in the sinai today so they still haven't gotten rid of them that is how hard it is. but the other dynamic was it actually reduced the capabilities of countries to take on extremists inside their border. the best example of that is libya. so under cad avi with his intelligence service, his security service, he was very effective at dealing with extremists inside his border. when his government fell and those institutions fell apart, there was no capability any more to deal. so the arab spring was a boon to al qaeda because it reduced either the willingness or the capability of countri

i know nothing about egypt's minimum wage but i do think that egypt and every other country on earth has a right to raise its minimum wage if they think it makes sense without worrying about being sued by some company who will have to pay higher wages. how crazy is that? so again not being terribly knowledgeable about domestic policies in egypt the idea that they are being sued for the crime of raising their minimum wage is to me beyond comprehension. and again, this is just an example of what is happening now and what will only happen in an accelerated manner if we pass this agreement. let me give you one last example. a swedish energy company called vanenfal launched a $5 billion lawsuit over germany's decision to phase out nuclear power. this edition was implemented in response to the fukushima disaster. germany made a decision to phase out nuclear energy. some people think it is a good idea. some people think it is a bad idea. but the last i heard that should be a decision of the german government and the people who elected that government. the elected officials of germany are no

most americans think of egypt as a place they go to visit the pyramids.n the imprisonment of our client, brother-in-law and colleagues in al jazeera, is it time for the united states to re-examine the relationship with the country of egypt? >> i think the united states has been walking, you know, delicately in the egyptian political situation. it's difficult to say. there's a lot of considerations. our client was a piece of a bigger puzzle. we view this as an important gesture by the egyptian government in releasing mohammed. certainly other dual nationals or foreign nationals have not been released. from our vantage point it's about individual advocacy, and we look at this as an important gesture from the egyptians to mending relationships. as any observer knows has been on the fritz for the past couple of years. >> he's not only your client, but your brother-in-law. what does the family have in store for mohammed when you see him again and what are your plans. >> it's yet to be determined. he has some ideas. when you are locked up in a prison where you
