after 18 days, president hosni mubarak resigned. during the cleanup, we found ahmed maher surrounded by reporters. >> what are the achievements and what more needs to be done now? >> narrator: in the days the followed, new protests spread through the middle east. in yemen... bahrain... in jordan... iraq... in iran... and libya. >> already, the activists in egypt are reaching out to friends and peers in nghbong countries. the facthat the pele he finally put their foot down and said "enough is enough," in egypt, of all places over there- - supposedly stable egypt-- this is a huge message for us policy and for the residents of other parts of the region. >> narrator: next, on this special edition of frontline, correspondent charles sennott of globalpost probes who's in charge of the muslim brotherhood. >> it ishe yng members which are telling the old guard what to do, and they are trying to catch up and they are not catching up. >> reporter: does the america understand the muslim brotherhood? >> the us doesn't understand the muslim brot

hosni mubarak has suffered a heart attack. he was said to have fallen while being questioned by prosecutors. a correspondent in cairo has the details. >> the former president is being kept in the intensive care unit of the hospital. we understand egyptians say television has been quoting medical sources. quite interestingly, which say that the president, since he heard two days ago that the public prosecutor wanted him for questioning, the public prosecutor is investigating corruption allegations, also the killings of hundreds of protestors during egypt's popular protests. now, mr. mubarak we understand since then has not even -- not eaten or drunk anything. there have been rumors of him suffering health problems before this heart attack that's being reported. we also understand that mr. mubarak is already in his first session with investigators at the public prosecutor's office when he started having these heart problems and was rushed to the v.i.p. session of the hospital along with his bodyguard. now, mr. mubarak's two sons

theg with mubarak's sons, notorious prison. formerly home to some of mubarak's on political opponents. there was a sense of elation, but also suspicion. could it really all be true? >> we are so happy. we do not believe. >> i think he is still in power in some ways. >> some believe that the military was about to cut a deal with mubarak. they were forced to back down because of public anger. >> they concluded that the only way to satisfy the requirements and demands of the whole nation was security. >> pressure on the military regime to prosecute mubarak has been growing for weeks. it came to a head last week and ended in violence. soldiers responded with live rounds. one person was killed. it is all very far from the appalachian in january -- elation in january. people took to the streets, braving the violence and persecution to bring down the regime. when he fell, people really thought that egypt had changed forever. >> the arrest of mubarak is a key move -- moment, especially if and leads to their prosecution. they were not j

, nothing has happened to mubarak yet? >> the public wanted it to happen more quickly. the public also understood that by demonstrating, you get what you want. and that's why the attorney general just yesterday or day before yesterday after the demonstrations said i'm going to bring in president mubarak, former president mubarak and his family for an investigation. >> warner: how much of a flashpoint michele dunn is this about president pew barak and his family and corruption investigations? >> i think it is really a difficult issue, it is a very fraught issue for the military leadership. for the demonstrators it is highly symbolic. that you need to take down the head of the old system to be sure that the old system is really gone. but for the military it's really difficult. and i think they're subject to a lot of different pressures. they are feeling the pressure right now from demonstrators who are able to show that they can still call out large numbers of people. on the other hand, mubarak was the patron of the military

mubarak wasn't that hated on the street frankly. it was the idea that oh no, the son who is pretty young, we're going to get another 30 years of him and all of his cronies and that upset people. the son in syria is not as strong as the father and it's a military or a security regi in an urban population, and that is now decided that they're going to keep this revolt going. >> charlie: what does all this mean for israel? >> i think it means, and this is what we were talking about. i think this is a real problem down the road for israel. there's a good side of bringing more democracy and people power to the region because there have been a lot of abuses and corruption. but there's also a real potential negative side, and if unchecked, i think this entire chaos that we've been seeing in the region right now leads to war with israel. >> charlie: it leads to war with israel. >> yes, it leads to war. >> charlie: who is on the other side. >> you've empowered the street, you've empowered the public opinion on the ground and public opinion i

egypt and's prosecutor ordered the arrest of hosni mubarak and his two sons. the colombian president says that his country is part of the solution when it comes to fighting the drug trade's. nato has not excluded the possibility of deploying ground troops in libya to protect aid workers according to the german nato geral ian interview. germany has signaled its willingness to send troops to libya as part of a humanitarian mission. the u.s. military is continuing to fly missions in support of rebel forces in spite of their announcement earlier this month they would no longer deploy or pains -- warplanes over libya. and they are getting ready for a major offensive which they believe is imminent. the war between supporters of the long-term leader can rebel forces seems to have reached a stalemate situation. neither side is capable of winning by military means. the international contact group on libya gathered onwednesday to discuss the situation despite differences, they all agree on one thing. >> libya will only have a successful and prosperous future, a free and

. >>> egypt's former president hosni mubarak is being detained by the interim military government for investigation of corruption and abuse of authority. the announcement comes just one day after the 82-year-old mubarak was admitted to a hospital for heart problems. mubarak's two sons are also in detention as part of the same investigation. >>> and an israeli newspaper reports prime minister benjamin netanyahu canceled a proposed meet with teen idol justin bieber. bieber is in israel for a concert. the newspaper reports the meeting was called off because bieber would not meet with children from an area that comes under rocket attack. bieber's camp says that's not true and that the meeting with netanyahu was never finalized. >>> just ahead on the "morning news," a startling report on the number of ex-cons being sent back to prison. >>> plus, why kate middleton is having her royal engagement ring cut down to size. >>> first, katie couric has a preview of tonight's "cbs evening news." >> former prisoners re-arrested in an often never-ending cycle. and it's costing states billions of doll

there be that egypt will enter a sustained period of mubarak after mubarak where some of his thugs and henchmen and apparatchiks and up essentially running the country in the same way that mubarak was running it and i think that it really is up to primarily the young people in that country to really stay consistent and energetic and trying to say no that's not what we fought for but that revolution could very well go the way of returning to the status quo of the mubarak era without mubarak and i think there's a real risk for that in libya. i think that one of the scariest things from a u.s. perspective is that the u.s. doesn't actually seem to know who the rebels are that are fighting against moammar gadhafi what we do know from the great reporting of people like jon lee anderson of the new yorker and others is that they are very very skilled warriors that they're wasting a lot of ammo shooting their bullets in the air that they are trained fighting force that they are not engaging in anything even vaguely resembling proven guerrilla tactics or military tactics it's tactics against the

mubarak facing similar charges. he's still in the hospital. he had the heart palpitations when he found out his sons and wife are under investigation. he's trying to stay in the hospital as long as he can, but if he can't and his doctors say he's well enough, he'll go to jail as well. >>> now to the last front where we saw you and the story we know you'll be back to cover in short order, libya. americans are watching this on television, wondering why the rebels don't have the air cover they need. the rebels have been asking much the same thing. >> every day, and they're getting frustrated. they had a feeling that the west was with them, that nato was going to deliver them victory, and they discovered that wasn't in the cards. they didn't get the man they were hoping for. a lot of them felt they were giving false ecpicitations. once the kruse pulled back their support, the nato air support hasn't been there, and the rebels haven't had enough support to win. >> the question i have seen most people ask you, where does this mess end? >> this whole

i think, again, like mubarak, he should seize the moment and leave.nk the writing is on the wall that he is not accepted any locker in libya. it is better for him to leave now, rather than, again, see-- you know, being slaughtered, being killed. i think for the sake of his people, he should leave, and if i would give him advice, i think it would be better for him as a libyan, just to say, as i was saying to mubarak at the last days of the revolution, you can come on television, say i tried. i failed. thank you, and i'm leaving. and i think that's what qaddafi should do for sake of libya, for his own sake. >> rose: what about assad in syria? >> the situation is going in a similar correction. i believe, also, the arab countries, the neighboring countries, who have been sitting on the fence, they really have to go into libya, into syria, trying to find either a political solution, ideally, by which to have an exit for both libya, for sure, and either he implements changes or leaves the country. you cannot continue a stalemate. what we have in libya right

he was appointed by mubarak. at this time, i felt we were really moving towards hearing people's voices. we were afraid so much of having the military ruling the country. i did not know at this time how the military would be acting, whether it would be achieving what the revolutn was asking for. when the prime minister resigned and the military appointed the prime minister chosen by the people, the new prime minister was in tahrir square during the revolution. at is point, i felt even more happier than when mubarak resigned. guest: i was at home. i was tweeting and facebooking. i saw them onv for few minutes announcing it. i wondered if it was true. i did not believe it. president mubarak gave three speeches before that. when he aired it, i thought it was not happening. i got phone calls from my cousin, my friends to celebrate. we celebrated on the streets. that was really exciting. it was not over. we knew he was in the government. it didwe wanted him to step down because it did not make sense for mubarak to ste

i think the the president of yemen doesn't want to end up like mubarak being on trial so he cut a deal that says ok i'll leave but you know no prosecution no for me and even in syria they did try it in the emergency emergency law but i think when it comes to whether x. turtle powers like you know europe the united states should get involved that becomes a different situation it's one thing to talk rhetorical it's another thing to do what we've done for example in libya and you're quite right in terms of saudi arabia will we will try and get the regime to modernize to you know share power will try to do the same thing in bahrain where we're not going to have very little was out because well i will try. these are going to be a difference between rhetoric and you know the actual law the actual law of policy i mean when you say really you know you look at this very very important right now to go ahead you're jumping ahead to describe the rhetoric i'm following you destruction of the thank you so much more rhetoric is much more powerful than sixteen's bombing through tripoli rhetoric means

power and the army just bent on him whereas in egypt already the situation was different because mubarak is a product of the army and the army is the backbone of power and the army is still in power i mean what you have in egypt is very clearly the army ruling i mean it's not behind the scenes it's very very officially so. since countries like libya or syria or the ruling families in the gulf countries and you could use the same formula off ruling family to for libya and syria actually. i mean you have. these elites if one could call them like that i mean owning this thing. you can hardly hardly see see them leaving the scene you know and leaving behind something very optimistic about the future is going to be potentially has more violence and i do what do you think about that i mean if we have assad in people like this have they learned from the. mistakes let's say of their fellow dictators in the region. well i agree with what you've said of course but the other side of this coin is that what's happening in all these countries is one single phenomenon caused by the fall of an idea the

well two months ago mubarak but the regime didn't call president mubarak and his close associates who are probably right all the new regime will be conservation under arrest but in reality people will need to grab it and say you played today. before so running we learned during the martial turn time we had a military council with a gun to the right it was a little more the closest comrades and. so we've seen a musical talk and at the bottom of society it's got worse much worse economically i understand also they call it the prosecution of our stigma barack is that likely to happen. well it might happen but i can only happen if the present government thought it was a desperate desperate situation. really to throw scapegoats try and harm situation because not all the. problems the people with whom you speak is ministers and generals who pushed him aside. they tried to discredit him by putting him or him on shore because he has a lot more of a brother but look at things not change though isn't there a promise of an election coming up shouldn't patience be the order of the day in. a way t

in egypt former president hosni mubarak is in the hospital with heart problems. he experienced an irregular heartbeat earlier today while being questioned by prosecutors about his role in violence against the protesters we witnessed during that egyptian uprising. >>> and we are hearing tonight from saudi arabia, a nation that has a lot at stake as change rocks across the arab world. late last week on this broadcast you'll recall tom brokaw reported that the saudi arabian monarchy is so unhappy with the obama administration for the way, as they see it, it pushed out mubarak that they sent senior officials to china and russia to seek expanded business opportunities with those countries. continuing his reporting there over this past weekend, tom was given rare access inside the kingdom. here now his report from riyadh. >> reporter: saudi arabia is the richest and most powerful country in the arab world, hugely important to the u.s. because of its oil reserves, and now surrounded by populist rage on all sides. a sunni country, it is the home of mecca, the birthplace

. >> to talk with him because ever since hosni mubarak stepped down in egypt and the saudies were quite vocal in their displeasure with how the united states handled it, i disagree with the saudi criticism, but i think this is a difficult balancing act that links us to oil, counterterrorism and a range of interests in the region. >> woodruff: maria mcfarland, remind us why the saudis care some of about what is happening in bahrain? >> they don't want a neighboring country to present an example to their citizens of change, of greater democracy. it would be very problematic for the saudis if suddenly their population saw that a neighboring country they had a constitutional monarchy. similarly, it's a problem because the protestors in bahrain are part of the majority shi'a population, for the most part. and the sunni government, like the bahraini government, is sunni.

in his first speech since being ousted from the egyptian president hosni mubarak has hit back at accusations he illegally amassed and personal fortune while in office a statement from a tape recording was broadcast on al-arabiya t.v. it comes as public pressure intensifies for the prosecution of the former leader and his inner circle over the alleged theft of the. of dollars from the state egypt and authorities have stepped up investigations into coaching by the former regime with the former prime minister and mr mubarak's two sons being summoned for questioning. next to the international space station where a russian soyuz rocket has brought three new crew members doubling the size of the team in orbit the mission set off from the same launch pad as the year again in one hundred sixty one just days before the fiftieth anniversary of that historic flight the new crew will spend five months in space and have been tasked with conducting a forty trying to fix experiments as part of a one hundred billion dollars program. arsole reports. astronauts spend most of their lives preparing for the poss

you know bugger all the paper ships in the region well he exhibited very mild pressure on mubarak to do to get you know more or more space in the elections in two thousand and five and all he could do any changes. next year to anyone who did yes yes exactly matches the natural hair sure sure nobody has illustrations are not unique or if he's wrong so what happened no no no let me continue gilbert continued but. when it comes to the saudi kingdom you know the bush dynasty had extremely good relations with the. including george w. bush. and that's the key point here this is the most undemocratic state in the region the most logical way to say wait a second salamone can't compare them or syria to saudi arabia in terms of all can. so i can compare of course no it's not. it's not a democracy this is all that can be only as you hear your show every year watch the king kong what i mean the people here love considerate in nature we have a really good come on come on this is this is a riot i mean either you don't know these countries or i work on the saying the most undemocratic state on eart
