relationship shakes out. >> has there been any contact on any level of israelis and members of the freedom and justice party we not know that? >> reporter: not at all, hala. israel officials tell me they tried to put out feelers and tried to reach out to the freedom and justice party. one israeli official told me today there is not one member of the muslim brotherhood who wants to have any contact with israel. that's the rub right now. how will they deal with this government? obviously, there are pressing issues, the egyptian military and israeli military do have good ties. there's a lot of concern about what's going on the sinai, border between israel and egypt. it's been lawless since the revolution, fall of hosni mubarak. not only do you have hamas trying to exploit this lawlessness and vacuum, you have other palestinian groups and even egypt and israeli officials say there's a growing al qaeda presence on the border they're very concerned about. there have been cross border attacks, one israeli official kills this morning. now an egyptian president has been elected, he needs to use all his authority to

of course, the freedom and justice party, which is their political wing. i asked him about the fears that many people here have about being ruled by an islamist party. i asked him about women who are already raising questions about what their rights would be. what about laws that have been enacted to protect women, particularly in the sexual harassment area, particularly in the sorry to say female genital mutilation category. there are rumors some of these lays may be overturned. these are very important for women here to know and be confident they will have not just the rights they have right now protected but to get even more equal rights under a new revolutionary egypt. after all, it was women -- there's a huge cheer that's just gone up in the crowd right now. >> translator: the public held on the 16th or 17th of june 2012 would be as follows. the number votes that -- and they list -- the number of those casted their votes. 26,420,763 voters. 51%. the number of right votes, 25,577,711 votes. the number of votes. 843,252. what has shafiq. 12 12,347,380 v

leadership that everybody likes everybody supports you had the mohamed morsi who is the freedom and justice partycandidate winning the the or many other professors and he thinks that he won the elections with the we don't have official confirmation but based on the on the on the tallies he has in the official reports coming from each of the stations he did the calculation and thinks that he won but today he had a press conference where he gathered many of the political forces from the youth movements like six from. movements like that in the movement from the leftist movements like the social evolution reads and others gathering together in one on one stage and basically he promised them that the muslim brothers are not going to take over the presidency that trying to do the government and the vice presidency and the parliament that he would appoint a vice president from outside of the freedom and justice party and that he will appoint a prime minister who is. not not from an background or from feeling justice as well . he promised. to have a vice president possibly a woman a christian politician

freedom justice party. the rise of the islamists is not well founded in the evidence. the other thing we found is that supporters of the freedom and justice party are as likely as liberals to support women's rights. there is no telling what the president-elect will do when he is in power. but according to his constituents, we expect women's rights should be protected or are as likely to be protected as a secular liberal. >> is there a concern that women may lose out? >> there is a concern. we found that as the economy gets worse and worse, support for women's equality sufferers. economic factors are the strongest predictor of support for women's rights. if we want to empower women, our research indicates that it is about human development, and not so much a secular social program. >> a look at today's other news. a key suspect has been an arrested in delhi. accused of guiding the 10 done in by phone from the pakistan city as they stormed targets in mind by. more than 160 people killed in the three-day siege. north korea has reacted angrily to the use of its national flag. the exercises last week were the largest staged in 60 years

morsi is to clearly demarcate the relationship between the muslim brothers on one hand and freedom and justice party on the other. the relationship has been almost funny. so for example, freedom and justice want to run a candidate it's made in the guidance officials of the muslim brothers. we're speaking about the candidate of a political party. these are some of the demands. the other narrative of this discourse is that this is a contest between civil society, so this is the muslim brothers and the deep state, the deep state is the state established since 1952 which includes basically a very strong role for the military, the security establishment and the intelligence establishment. another discourse, look at kind of narrow coalitions. they look at the runoff as a contestation between mubarak establishment, by shafiq, and islamic strengths led by the muslim brothers. again, this discourse is not in the favor of either of the parties. shafiq doesn't want to be perceived as, you know, mubarak's establishment, or part of the security state, morsi wants to grow his alliance not only to include islamist

tahrir square one seems to bring unity and has resigned from the muslim brotherhood and its freedom and justice party he also promised to honor egypt's international obligations and treaties with other countries but the authority of the office he assumes has been limited as a ruling military has dissolved the islamist dominated parliament is now overseeing the drafting of a new constitution the generals that promised to hand the executive control to mercy by july but will retain the making of the. kyra thanks to political scientists side senate says the army is determined to hold on to the reins of power . they hope to meet that soon. good you should look at this should not all of it goes species for their good intervene because we do not think because we buy the constituent assembly the block allow you to do anything if interest we felt that would pull this election was defeated by fear if you fud also is that you would vote for most if you feel most see your thoughtful shafique i now do is how big to focus it if you will on the social intercourse and you should know who we're going to skew the ques

the former president and we have another choice is mohamed morsi morsi who we had all for freedom and justice party which are related to the muslim brotherhood also those two choices not believe in more christian or human rights than the. if we see for the what what are the people going to do when they go to the polls and if you say all of the choices are not what the people want on talk or square right now who are they going to vote for. what is the goal of the protesters know one thing if they have these options which is not what the revolution stood for who will they vote for in the runoff what are their choices not practically but do they have a choice if all of these candidates are not representing the revolution. well we don't have. we don't have huge choices actually and sort of lesion or is a very bad situation they don't have any choices. that this reason the result of the presidential elections the first round was because of it was normal because of . stories of staff trying to do too even if you usually chose to have everything that every single was doing in egypt was by sort of the usua

have begun to call and congratulate morsi, he himself says he will resign as head of the freedom and justice party, the muslim brotherhood's political wing and going to work with all egyptians in appointing a prime minister that represents the secular liberal forces of the country. no doubt, the atmosphere in egypt after a tense week has now changed almost instantly to one of celebration here in tahrir square. >> give us the rundown on morsi. who is he? what is all of this going to mean for the refer solutifor th that country? >> surprisingly, he wasn't the first choice of the muslim brotherhood. they wanted to appoint somebody else as the candidate. that candidate was disqualified by the elections commission. mohammed morsi, a senior member of the muslim brotherhood. he studied in the united states, his two children are actually u.s. citizens. a well respected figure within the organization. he is considered slightly on the conservative side, but since being nominated, he says he'll work with all political forces. is he by many people's accounts, a very pragmatic individual, but no doubt, many pe

in april 2011, his and the president of the muslim brotherhood's freedom and justice party. d to parliament and is really when the stamper started banging around. conservative among conservatives and organization. he is not afraid of injecting religion into a lot of politics during his time as a parliament member, speaking out against movies and music deemed too liberal and things of this nature. he put things ford against corruption occurring within the national democratic party and so forth. it remains to be seen how exactly he will perform. he pledged and has resigned from the custom brotherhood and resigned from the party once he was elected. we will have to see where it goes. he has already met with the head of the supreme council of the armed forces and de facto ruler of egypt right now. he has already backtracked on his earlier criticism of the military council, saying how the military was wise and praised its wisdom and running a transitional period and transparency and democracy, really going back on what the military council has done which was a very erratic, iran i

al had der who was going to be the muslim brotherhood candidate for the freedom and justice party. he has actually indicated to me recognition of the camp david peace accords, a desire to assure minority rights including women's rights. these things have been said and obviously we need to make sure we encourage that as much as possible and i look forward to doing that. they need to focus on the economy, too. that's the other thing, candy, that's very important. i've introduced a u.s.-egypt free trade agreement. they've lost 2 million jobs since february of last year. by virtue of that, they really need to get the economy growing and get people back to work. >> let me get to jill. we've been giving the egyptian military, because they've been in charge, about a billion a year. >> 1.3. >> they've done this power grab. how does the u.s. walk this line? they want to nurture democracy but don't want to encourage the military? it still remains pretty much in charge. >> exactly. what they have to do, what they are doing is they will look at the next steps towards the democratic process. if

same time, he is distancing himself from the muslim brotherhood and its political wing the freedom and justice partyom both of those organizations, and as you mentioned, he is in the presidential offices, and rekrntly just 16 months ago vacated by hosni mubarak, and obviously, his powers are severely limited and the powers were limited by a decree from the supreme council of the armed forces issued within hours of the closing of the voting stations the night of the, following the last night of the runoff elections. >> ben, do most of the people there support him even if they did not back the muslim brotherhood, and are the people getting behind him as their new leader? >> well, certainly, what we have seen is an outpouring of celebration. i think that celebration is not necessarily because he is mohamed morsi of the islam brotherhood, but i do believe that the egyptians appreciate the fact that they have finally a president or president-elect who was not formally an officer in the egyptian army. but if you look at the numbers, he really doesn't have anything to approximate a mandate. only 50% of eli

also need to wishing to insure that the statements that were made to me by leaders of the freedom and justice partyrotherhood, are adhered to, that being, complying with the camp david peace accords, assuring that women's rights, religious freedom for the 10% of the christian, very concerned. we need to make sure that they continue to abide by the promises. i have hope that they will because egypt, shannon, is a secular nation. you know, the muslim brotherhood is a very small minority. and putting a coalition together is the challenge that dr. morrisy and the other leader there is will have. >> shannon: thank you very much for your insightso bowhat is a very unique process and important day in egypt's history. >> thanks. >> shannon: i want to note haone of his colleague, congressman allen west is among those who have expressed concern that are not necessarily happy about the results of the elections. in a posting on his facebook, he says, i call on president obama to cut off foreign aid to egypt and repudiate the muslim brotherhood and all radical entities. so clearly, there will be disagreement he

and we can't afford it. we need the freedom to make fiscally responsible justice. >> grover, would you think i don't want to be the standard bearer for the republican party, i admireing. do you admire the democrats? >> i think you've got some democrats who are put in a very k difficult position, which is one of the most important funding bases for the democratic party is organized labor. they take union dues out of the paychecks of teachers. in wisconsin it was $1,000 per teacher taken by the union and then spent on various things. one of the things -- >> right, so all i'm saying is wouldn't you say that these democratic mayors, governors who are taking on this issue are all the more courageous? the republican guys aren't getting these donations. that's not that hard to take them on. >> no, they are being courageous. they have been put in a situation where the public sector unions and their demands are bankrupting whole cities. they have to do this. you're even seeing rahm emanuel in chicago begin to have some of these efforts. this has to happen. it's bankrupting cities, states. government can't work with these sorts of costs that are being imposed on it. this is
