mr. mubarak.three weeks on, there is clear evidence that activists taking part in peaceful protests are being beaten up and imprisoned by the army who promised to protect them. we have this from cairo. >> there are still tanks on the streets of egypt. the army has the reputation of supporting the people and helping the revolution. but they deal with protesters in a different way. "stop filming." "give me the camera," the soldier said. this man was picked up by troops that night. he was beaten up and arrested. to date outside cairo, his family and other families whose sons have disappeared demanded to see them. the military did not want us to film this or hear their stories. but his brother told us how he had already been put on trial and sentenced to five years in jail. he told me it was up three- minute during with no lawyers or witnesses and no chance to appeal. "it is not right, not legal." the revolution brought three decades of mubarak will soon end. but people continued to protest. it was no

mr. mubarak blaming outside forces. does the syrian government accept the will have to make substantial concessions if they talk about lifting the emergency law that has been in place for five decades? are you going to be taken -- taking those steps? >> you know what? the western governments are dictating and they are the using incitement against our people. >> the western media -- is the people on the street protesting. >> you did not allow us to talk on bbc. nobody contested what was happening. the legitimate request of people, not only -- everywhere in syria. the request of financial or political or economic -- they are being discussed. they are being addressed. it is very important decisions that have been made today by leaders of the country. and the harassment of this process is being done. >> the syrian presidential adviser speaking to zeinab badawi. french officials say that a fighter was shot down -- that a libyan fighter was shot down. it is difficult to get an accurate picture of what is going on, but we got

newspapers have gone to same supposedly fantastically that there were millions in the streets or in mr mubarakto now calling it the revolution of the youth t.v. has done the same thing now t.v. which was just an instrument of those older propaganda is now basically interviewing protest leaders and talking about the aspirations of the revolution it's again because back to we talked about a little earlier and the very foundations of these societies are being rethought we imagine to reconstruct it and that i think is why these revolutions are as important as they are let me point out something i read today without a arabia somebody in that region with saying left iran the whole region and they trying to cook up some fear clearly as they came. bannana in the region they've got a close relationship with united states they've got the petro economy and they have the most to lose in the region if you want to you know put israel aside for a second but they've got the most to lose. at sun are they hell to malaya saudi arabia going to be swept up into this or is that where kind of the revolution and the

newspapers have gone to same supposedly untasted plea that there were millions in the streets and what mr mubarak so now calling it the revolution of the youth team is done the same thing now t.v. which was just an instrument of those older propaganda is now basically interviewing protest leaders and talking about the aspirations of the revolution it's again it goes back to we talked about a little earlier in the very foundations of the societies are be rethought we're mad. reconstructed and that i think is why these were recent or is and were because they are let me just point out something i read today saudi arabia somebody in that region a saying of their aimed at the whole region you know is trying to cook up some fear that saudi arabia clearly is the campaigner in the region they've got a close relationship with united states they've got the petro economy and they have the most to lose in the region if you want to put israel's eye for a second but they've got the most to lose. at sun are they ultimately is saudi arabia going to be swept up into this or is that where kind of the revolution en

mr. mubarak. >> indeed. and i-- and i think our leverage has decreased on them as of now.t i don't think we would have liked them to do what they have done, and, therefore, i agree with john -- >> in terms of bahrain? >> in terms of bahrain. i think it's very important that we move ttake advantage of this situation that has developed now to get something serious going. although, the government in bahrain now may be more reluctant to do it. >> exactly >> and so we've got a negative development in north africa, in libya, and you've got a negative development in bahrain, and the situation looks very different than it did two weeks ago, which was much more promising. >> rose: the regime at that time seemed to be willing to find some common ground. >> right. >> rose: there doesn't seem to be much it interest in doing that now. let's talk about syria for a moment to put it in the equation. >> i think there are a number of what i call dogs that haven't barked yet, the countries haven't seen, and what you might expect, given where things are, in syria, the pal territories, there h

mrs. mubarak had said one time, her statement about the transparency of the election.hey showed without any doubt that the elections were not clear, were not transparent and therefore he was thrown into jail. if they do a good job in egypt, i did not hear anything about the role of the very prominent institutions in egypt such as the syndicate that played an important role, very important, the judge's club that started the revolution in 1952. this is beside the point. so the share reinstitution used to come up with an extremely important article. in 1929, very important paper that had been published in which he was able to show for the first time ever the elasticity of demand for e egyptian cotton. i had the honor myself of addressing the institution in egypt several times but they have been weakened because of the -- pollinization of the system. and the national democratic policy of imposing this in duquette -- the syndicate of journalists that was weakened by the corrupt regime that imposed its own people and therefore they left the bad people driving good people out

mrs. mubarak had said at one time, her statement about the transparency of the election, they showed without any doubt that the elections were not clear, were not transparent and, therefore, he was thrown into jail. .. >> this is beside the point, so that is an institution that used to come up with an extremely importantly. in 1929, very important papers that had been published by one in which he was able to show for the first time ever the elasticity of demand, so there are -- i had the honor, myself, of addressing that institution, great institution, in egypt several times, but they have been weakened because of the polarization of the system and the back of the national democratic party of imposeing syndicate of journalists in egypt, all of those had been weakened because of the corrupt regime that imposed its own people, and therefore, they left the bad people driving good people out of circulation. this is only a comment. >> i believe, which is can you go back to the future? i think it would be useful for the panel to try to answer that, you know, to what extent can the institutions be

mrs. clinton said. then we said, well, wait a minute, maybe we need mubarak to look other things until -- over things untilthe election comes. i think perhaps the best option is to keep your mouth shut and let the cards kind of fall where they may. but to be realistic, we really can't do that. we have put for 30 or more years -- we have built, rather, for 30 or more years our position on the middle east on supporting tyranny. whether it is in saudi arabia in the persian gulf or to protect israel with we have maintained the jordanian tyranny and the tyranny in egypt. and be by not taking out the al assads, we are let that tyranny exist also. so the real problem for us all f us, i think, to face is that if there is a change in government in hoi of those -- any of those three particular dictatorships, israel's security is compromise ed. the compromise of it security that began with the destruction of saddam is multiplied. because any government that follows those three governments is going to be a less effective, more influenced by domestic islamists. i would doubt, for example, that egypt would renounce the
