. >> let's talk about mohammed el baradei. he resigned last week.what could this mean for the muslim brotherhood? could tensions really flame up as a result of this gecko >> he is a liberal politician who rose through the ranks of the international atomic energy agency which he led. he was kind of emblematic of the liberal backlash against the muslim brotherhood for their failures and overreaches and government and done, unfortunately, they put their faith in a military coup, which is clearly what this is, and it has not worked out well. in order for him to kind of preserve his dignity, so to speak, he has had to resign. >> what about the spiritual leader retained? >> he is the former head of the -- the current head of the brotherhood, as you say. he was arrested in conjunction with accusations that the muslim brotherhood had ordered the killings of protesters outside of muslim brotherhood party headquarters during the initial wave of protests that brought down the morsi government. again, these things are very coyote. i don't think there is any rea

on the other hand the more liberal and secular forces in the government like vice president mohamed el baradei who are pushing for more democratic reconciliation however the situation is still tense the protesters themselves are building barricades around their systems they have early warning systems they have a system whereby can people can. you know should they be attacked but they are remaining defiant determined to stay put i spoke to protesters yesterday who showed me their new bathrooms they build generators they got in in case there's a seize a seizure on the since. kitchens building homes so they're really settling in for the long time so this deadlock continues as the violence is escalating russia responds to accidents seeking to turn the winter olympics into a protest ground against a long homosexuality propaganda to minors but to remain history's has no participants or spectators will suffer as a result of the latest lation or breakdown the law that's been posing a storm of opposition and just a few mob are. now celebrating its ten year anniversary pirate brave launchers and aunties

there has been movement from within the interim government particularly from the liberal leader mohamed el baradei who is the vice president to not have this kind of violent crackdown instead preparing a kind of democratic reconciliation through talks that was clearly the idea was clearly trashed this morning when both the police force and the military basically attacked these protesters which include women and children i saw women and children trapped inside taking shelter behind sandbags and crank concrete walls so this idea of some kind of peaceful dispersal clearly never happened yet but how real was the danger you experienced. it was very real as i approached the sit in security forces as i said blocked off every entrance even the smallest sorry streets where this resulted in was basically the side road battles where the police and the military would fire heavily on anyone approaching including journalists like myself residents and families of those people trapped inside i had to duck behind cars behind any concrete barricades that i could find. was being fired at me both from above and from

example president morsi is allowed back but he has no other muslim brotherhood ministers and mohamed el baradei. and maybe have been else about he can run this ministry and can run another ministry so everyone shares power like. as happened in south africa after the end of apartheid but unfortunately there's been no indication of any kind of broad inclusive reconciliatory gesture and what we're seeing instead is that the army and its supporters seem. i think that they can go this alone without having any islamists cutting on. power sharing at all and certainly the army has got powerful backers they've got allies or many people who support them and would like very much to turn the clock back to the mubarak era because this model suited many other countries in the region egypt was predictable it was manageable yes it had problems but it was easy to deal with the alternative which is an islamist style government is a huge on known quantity which frightens just about every country in the region and many countries in the west. journalist and author hugh miles thank you very much indeed for your insi
