issues within one hundred days but when you look at the demands of the protesters asking for mr morsi to step down given the divisions in the country and the fact that mr morsi has only won with fifty one percent of the vote if there is. a new election is there any guarantee that there won't be further chaos again given those divisions. i think this is the big problem isn't it that we have a situation where the constitutional court invalidated the elections to the parliamentary chambers the president's election was certainly disputed by his opponents it was a very narrow result a lot of the people who voted for him then seem no longer to be happy with him now that can happen in any democracy but of course egypt isn't just any democracy it's a country that is suffering a very severe economic crisis it's trying to create institutions of a viable state and democratic system but instead it seems that the changes since the fall of mubarak are really spiraling to a situation out of control and that tends then to suggest that somebody with power real move to calm a step in but of course the generals may be pop

i see no reason given mr. paulson's waiver why this should not be available as part of the phone record. in fact i was told repeatedly that today's hearing this very day would be my one opportunity to ask mr. jones any questions, i certainly intend to ask mr. jones questions about the allegations described in the complaint. i have additional procedural problems with this nomination, one which illustrates another basic breakdown of routine protocol and normal committee process was the delivery of certain routine nomination materials. when i received a routine filing required of all nominees i noted missing pages, two separate documents. i requested these on may 28th. one of the requested document was delivered to my office last night at 9:58 p.m.. there was no explanation for the delay. i have yet to receive the other requested documents. it is no secret that there have been a number of controversial events mr. jones has been involved in to one degree or another. i sent numerous letters to the department reques

the charges made out the facts were set out clearly mr navarro he was given an opportunity to cross-examine witnesses to respond to the evidence and i think if you look at the evidence and i think a lot of the people who question the fairness of the trial have not. but i think you do look at the entrance you would decide that he was probably convicted well that's exactly the problem what one gets to see the feelie people who have already made up their minds before the case even started and before the trial even started simply following their own opinions which they formed in advance of the crown prosecution service here takes the view that in the case of theft which is what this basically is of. property worth more than one hundred twenty five thousand pounds the first time offender who pleads guilty it's between three and six years five years is exactly in line with that. all we've got more analysis and opinion on the issue on our website r.t. dot com also there live updates and the best pictures from the protests against the verdict and don't forget to check out our correspondents twitter

mr. bush has given. rejected them all. the greatest discussion needs to go is george zimmerman going to be subjected to double jeopardy by the justice department appearing to continue to politicize this case. they sent people down to florida to begin up demonstrations to try to bring about a prosecution of george zimmerman. we should not criticize the skplau justice system in the country. it needs to be objective. >> if trayvon -- . >> because of a political movement. let me just say this if trayvon martin had been a young white man, white teenager, and george zimmerman had been a black man, george zimmerman would be in jail today. >> sean: does it matter to you, congressman rush that there is a mountain evidence that show that's george zimmerman tutored minority children, black children free in his spare time took a black woman to the prom stood up for a black homeless man against police? there is no evidence of racial an moss ti in this thanman's heart. why do you ignore that? >> there is. because of what came out of his
