the summer of two thousand and thirteen the political temperature in egypt has reached fever pitch. twelve months after being elected the army headed by the fatah to cease even the post to overthrow president mahmoud morsi and terminate one some formal the revolutionary changes into the ultimate end of the water pressure cruel of president mubarak. protesters for and against president morsi took to the streets thousands supporting democracy and speaking out against the military were rounded up and phone in jail no distinction was made to jefferson's youngun all as well as foreign citizens were booked behind bars. one of them was ibrahim helal an irish teenager born in dublin another time he was only seventeen years old the irish come to see initially assured him and his family he will be on the first plane out to the promised but that was not so. instead he was kept in jail for four years where he says he was routinely tortured both physically and psychologically. in october this year after intense lobbying by his family and friends back home he was fine of you ladies. now a free ma

about his incarceration egypt's notorious prison system. in two thousand and thirteen in june i was just finished my exams i went to i went to egypt afford to buy a few days i went to see my extended family because my dad had this and it will ritual we go and see extended family over there so that's really my purpose of why i went there in the very start. of course rub a square with the coup was taken place there's a mall there and there was a cinema there that i was there with my few friends of mine before dick who actually took place and before protests took place as it was two days before it and then i actually went to tahrir square where the pro pro pro pool was taken place after and i actually wanted to have a view of both sides so i can base a fair judgement on both i didn't agree with what was going on with the with that is where basically asking for a president three overthrown without a ballot box which for me is not the mock recy so bit by bit listen in though i understood the basics of the mock receive that any seventeen year old

she lives to go to egypt. she loves egypt. she loves the egyptian people. she's in love with omar.ieve this has happened to her. we are absolutely devastated. laura plummer had been going on holiday to egypt's red sea resort for several years, but for her supporters, she has been let down by the country she loved. this woman doesn't deserve to be incarcerated in an egyptian prison and, to be honest with you, as much as i respect the customs of egypt and the laws and the judiciary and everything else, this will put people off travelling on holiday to egypt in the future, and i think the egyptian authorities need to be mindful of that. the egyptian legal system is complex. laura plummer will now appeal against the three—year sentence, a jail term her family say is shocking and unjust. daniela relph, bbc news. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. our guests joining me tonight are jo phillips, political commentator, and nigel nelson, political editor of the sunday mirror. the universities

well, look, she took drugs which are a banned substance to egypt. fair to laura, it's notjust her own naivete, the british foreign office have only just updated their website to say that tramadol is a substance you must not take to egypt without a doctor's note and proof it is prescribed to you. there are lessons to be learned from this. the british government have made representations to their counterparts in egypt. i have spoken with the foreign secretary directly about this case half a dozen times. i have got to be honest, i have been very impressed with the foreign secretary. his interest and knowledge about this case, and the fact that he himself has made representations to the prime minister of egypt directly about what a tragic case this is. this woman doesn't deserve to be incarcerated in an egyptian prison. to be honest with you, as much as i respect the customs of egypt, and the laws and the judiciary, and everything else, this will put people off travelling on holiday to egypt in the future. and i think the egyptian authorities need to be

she said she did not know the drug was banned in egypt. not know about that, and she had brought it for her boyfriend. however, the court found her guilty of bringing and smuggling drugs into the country, and therefore came the verdict of today. her lawyer told us yesterday that there were some lost in translation issues in the court. as she was asked by one of the judges about the accusation, and she pleaded guilty, but she said she didn't understand the question very well. we also understand that the lawyer is willing to appeal that verdict. laura plummer‘s mp, labour's karl turner, has been giving his reaction to the news. terribly disappointing to the family. the family are devastated. i have spoken to neville, laura's dad, already. i spoke with family members yesterday. they were optimistic this might be a happier result. but laura, most of all, will be absolutely devastated. she's not been well lately. she has suffered with sleep deprivation. she has been very anxious about the sentencing hearing, and the trial, as it was. and clearl

and this work, the leadership was with egypt and still with egypt. qatar, when we helped in the reconstellation we were helping these efforts. we were helping and bringing the parties closer because we believe it's critical for the peace process and we believe that there is no state and no palestinian without ressa. so we have to keep this country together. we have to keep it to maintain the integrity and to unite the leadership of the country in order if we want to achieve a long lasting peace. other than that, if we are not helping in the reconstellation because we hate one party or we favor the other party, then we will keep the situation as it is, very fragmented and we will never achieve peace and we will keep it -- we will keep it subject for very high risk in the region. >> what about syria? isis seems to be defeated almost defeated at least on the ground. what was uniting russians in states, the common enemy, i shouldn't say is no more, but appears to be somewhat less threatening. russian and the american objectives are fundamentally differen

egypt has historically been a very important tourist destination for russians they've been it's been very popular with them and therefore russian tourists have been very important to egypt's tourism economy so they're very keen to see the return of russian tourists to the region it's often said that. waitstaff in egypt speak better russian than they do english reflecting the picture of tourism there generally but yesterday's meeting between president putin and egyptian president. certainly suggested that improve improving relations was on the table there was a nuclear deal signed between them to the tune of twenty one billion u.s. dollars and they did discuss the resumption of commercial flights between the two countries which have been suspended since the incident over the sinai two years ago although no concrete date for the resumption of flights has been set yet thanks julia did always julia chapman there in moscow. well smaller stories making news around the world today in the u.s. a twenty seven year old man is in custody after an explosion in new york city's port authority bus

are you as positive as egypt ? just yesterday the egyptian authorities take deposit capsal and that were there on foreign importers. that effectively removes what is seen as the last step that has been there on capital control and goes in line with what we have seen in terms of improvements with the $12 billion agreement with the imf in the last year. improvements have been made over subsidies, cuts and spending and we are starting to see inflation in egypt start to level off. i think the sectors to watch out for are the tourism sectors where we have had an impact. you could potentially say there short-term impact from what we have seen over the last week, but traditionally events i have seen do not have much repercussions. >> what is the biggest risk? is it the availability of u.s. dollars? >> in terms of liquidity, -- the central bank is doing well. the biggest risk is deviation from commitment to reforms. they have been moving forward on that. the last step is further removal of energy prices. is that likely to

vice president mike pence when he comes to visit egypt later this month now we do know that egypt is a key ally of the united states so just how much damage has trump's announcement under islam already caused. i think it's fair to say that it certainly put countries like egypt which have these very strong relations with the trump white house it's put country such as egypt in a very difficult position in that they have you know renewed relations with trump had to under obama but the schools you know they have been until now key broker in palestinian peace talks and talks between hamas and fatah that have been taking place break yulian cairo and this decision somewhat undermined. their efforts in that area and you know it's undermined their ability to continue acting as a real broker peace. journalist with michaelson reporting from cairo many thanks indeed now to some of the other stories making news this hour and iraqi prime minister haidar of bodies says his country's war with the so-called islamic state has been one he says the army has driven i-s. from the country and re secured it

the imf is responsible for stability and this he came into egypt and created stability in egypt now. they cannot, in my judgment, i haven't seen any evidence, helped create economic growth in egypt. economic growth comes from private sector development. private sector development will come from something like enterprise funds. multiplied to a much larger extent. the other comment is that you don't need as much money. i wouldn't want to make this statement too many times publicly to my friends on the hill. but, once the u.s. puts in an amount of money with the private sector looking to make investments now in a country like egypt. it would be different in tunisia, clearly, and it was d different in kim's day, but today they're looking to make investments and we took in our first deal because we wanted to prove to egypt that we could bring in other investments. that was part of my mission. so when we bought that, it was a 100 million transaction, we took in two private equity firms for 80 million. they had never invested in egypt before. so we could be all enterprise funds could be-- w
