replaced president mubarak in february will stay in power or he's an isa now is watching the ballot and kyra. it really seems like a gyptian star split into two camps and very simply outlined how they feel about this election and you have the group that is flat out boycotting this vote because they say the military rulers are still very much in charge it's them who came up with this system of voting they will essentially be the top people monitoring these votes and then you have the camp of people who don't agree of course with the military rulers especially in light of that crackdown that we saw just ahead of this vote but they feel like if they don't come out to have their say that they would be essentially giving up giving up the months that protests are spent on talk we're square trying to bring change to egypt so really a split of opinion like i said and really some some long lines of people very excited about coming out to be able to vote a lot of people are voting here for the first time in their lives and it almost seems as if they're not really thinking so much about whether this wi

it could be this friday paula thank you very much indeed for that live update from come here where kyra that southeast corner sneer that well while the arab league discusses sanctions against syria in cairo france has become the first western country to suggest intervention on a humanitarian basis well to talk more on that i'm not joined by north stevenson he's a professor of history at west chester university in the u.s. and an expert on the middle east well persons talked about the possibility of an intervention in syria by creating what they called humanitarian corridors nato use the same reasons to impose that no fly zone over libya that assisted gave up his downfall so are we seeing history repeat itself perhaps there in syria well if they're serious about its catastrophic. to essentially in syria which is what they were to do. from the air. they're going to bring it potentially syrian out syrian allies. and. i don't think this is a very good idea i don't know if they actually go through that is the political figure it's actually going through the consequences of that kind of actio

button's polis they're reporting from kyra so far every revolution in egypt hasn't brought the reforms demanded by the public has turned into frustration on the streets and some analysts think outside influence is to blame for what ultimately happened was throwing out a figurehead instead of the actual power structure itself which has been in for years and continues to be believe the military dictatorship that egypt really is it means so and so i think the illusion of democracy is just that until we the underlying power structure that's going on there can be outstanding i don't think anything really has changed and i think alternately falls into the type of power politics to get played in in situations like this where you have the after only western intervention is policies that assume that people can't quite handle democracy yet unless they need to be ruled over by. some sort so and so i think that just leads into the hands of the people who are a watching this from behind the scenes and wondering how they're going to fit into the new geo political paradigm rather than what's in the i

the army and the police have a record a seven foot high wall which is why some people carry a coin kyra when you've been the only source of course still barriers and wire fences all the roads leading to past here so this could be some kind of violence that it was a scene with the full minute illustrations over the past week also watching a counter-demonstration this is the right people to support the status quo and if indeed they decide to march will they make the contagion now the protesters are still standing by the original demand and that is for the army to step down immediately the only response was that the city and the trail that is a quote of the shuttle sorry that they've been given and so in line with us and the fact that they've appointed a new prime minister to come out guns ari who was part of the mubarak era has done little to convince people here that the army is serious about transferring power human rights to also been criticizing the interior ministry for having blood on their hands they say that the ministry is blatantly lying when it in high school said it has been e

not in the was there reporting from kyra but so far the breeze revolution in egypt hasn't brought the reforms demanded by the public has turned into frustration on the streets what of that's when british m.p. jeremy corbett the international response to the arab spring has put vested interests of those people it's western gold standards work par excellence they invaded libya in order to change the government because of threats against the people. they have put sanctions against some countries because of oppressions of civil liberties because of bahrain saudi arabia has invaded so bahrain tech the molecule the case of saudi arabia massive violations of human rights and no intervention i think the west basically quite happy to carry on with a military strike in egypt to do something that is really because the whole of the west has to wake up you cannot on the one hand you deal with kingdoms and dictatorships that repress human rights in the same time pretend to be on the side of the demonstrators democracy and human rights of all people well thought out ministers from the arab league ha
