but the information that we've gotten is that mubarak's lawyer, the man representing him, said that mubarak fell into a coma at midday egyptian time and the lawyer also saying that mubarak's health deteriorated throughout the day and then he finally fell into a coma. now, conflicting to that, the hospital where mubarak is being treated in the town says he has not fallen into a coma. so there are conflicting reports as to what is going on. some news agency reports are saying that it's not unusual for him to dip in and out of a coma but his situation is still a very stable one and we've also reached out to the health ministry here in egypt and that basically says that it has no information as to whether or not hosni mubarak is in a coma. what we have to know about the situation is that his health, since he's been ousted from power has been deteriorating. a couple months ago he collapsed during an interrogation. he is, of course, being charged here in egypt with crimes in relation to his rule of 30 years and cracking down on the uprising that started here on january 25th during an interrogatio

we had stability with mubarak.wn country, if we were getting into a violent protest, our government would ship them and arrest them. look at waco, texas. we rolled over their houses with tanks because it would not come out. the government will try to protect what they had and that is what mubarak did. the protest and the rebels started it, not the dictators. guest: joe is thoroughly mistaken. mr. mubarak came to power in 1981 and ruled for 30 years in elections that were regularly brought a lead through torture was systematic and endemic. corruption was very high. mr. mubarak and his cronies mismanaged the economy to know when 3 poverty in egypt is about 40%. there is no way that one can say that these authoritarian regimes are no good. we saw that in the revolution. the same with gaddafi, in power since 1969, if you can imagine. libya is run as a family dictatorship with his son poised to be the successor. mr. gaddafi has decimated all libyan political and civil institution, taking the country backwards. it is min

mubarak given his present medical condition?nslator: the previous reports stated that it's not suitable. especially since he has atrial heart fibrillation. it's very dangerous. one beat could cause death. >> skeptics could ask is this to prevent him from going to trial, charged with corruption and ordering police to kill anti-government protesters during the uprising. i spoke with david kirk patrick, the cairo bureau chief for "the new york times," via skype. david, a lot of conflicting stories out there about mubarak's health. was there a legitimate health scare or was this a approximately by his lawyers to avoid a trial or change public opinion before the trial? >> so far it looks like a ploy. there was a report from his lawyer on sunday afternoon that mubarak was in a coma. he suffered a stroke and the lawyer said his wife, suzanne mubarak called him and he was rushing to the hospital. i, myself, thought it might be serious. i started calling around and most people in egypt were already writing it off, only because just last

second phase of the room vote because they say their freedom was short lived then they got rid of mubarak you know they're like making a mistake but now egypt is the way it was two or january so a little bit little official little mubarak so many new larks either it was the one thing them running the country i do you. know i still remember two years think back to when the revolution was born and now they want to take to the universities and they want to take back we are going to the factories to the places that make things easier it's really good we don't know how many people was going to stay suddenly they're going to stay current it takes real changes coming here in egypt was existing there was no security no i mean here i mean it's people. who don't check he was doing security risk justice has died it's got that coffee read so people here are going to keep on fighting see the egypt that i have always think they can work out of different political parties we just don't see the old one different things but i think they can come together on the fact that. not the not the reason they begin

they're not controlling mubarak and i think it is still controlling you after mubarak and so this is why the people are very astonished why then we get a lot more moderate so as the situation is maintained as it is and the only difference is that mubarak is all there is not in jail is inside a machine so as mubarak is still controlling the country through the music council or the region council is confused he doesn't know how to get out of the impasse so in fact i'm afraid that the slogan will be again of the little founded self and of the military council in fact was very much a play by the people that had gotten rid of loose and i don't see that. the council in fact did not obey the order to fire together the population and this is a medical course but. otherwise would be very risky for the misery count so this is why i'm still appealing to the military council not to lose more time because now after six months. ratings nothing is too much better respected before briefly if you can what is your prognosis than. well. what do you predict will happen then over the coming months. i thi

we have had a resolution that -- revolution that has overthrown mubarak. the revolution continues because during his 30 years in power, his dictatorship basically suffocated all slivers of light outside egypt, and the groups that suffered the most i think were women and minorities. you heard about the state of christians in egypt from your reporter a few minutes ago, and i think the same applies to women as well. there is a long ago, but i know from the women in the ground who continue to take part in the revolution, that the revolution of their mind is the real focus. >> do you sense any nostalgic for the past in egypt, no matter how oppressive it was? >> it was part of a kind of natural "at least renew were were before. it is important to remember that not all egyptians join the revolution, and some now worry about where the country is going, look ahead and say they do not know who will win the elections. but again, it is important to remember that this is a result of mubarak's dictatorship. because he was in political life for 30 years, we only have the

the basic middle mubarak some you need to let it slide there was among them for my running the country the i. was still not here they come back to me to the revolution was born they want to take me out to the universities me want to take back we're going to the world places and make things easier it's really good we don't know how many people one they're going to stay seated going to say bring them to take to the real changes coming here and easier time getting this new security. here it's people. don't see god doing very much. these are going to keep on fighting egypt that think they can work. very hard at it that is why things like think they can come together on the fact that. you know not the beastly. change is going to keep coming back. pretty. hard. but if you want to follow all the very latest from egypt you can follow in this and now it's latest twitter updates to all the details on the breaking developments there from tahrir square she's got eyewitness accounts and fresh updates on those protests today and tonight we're going to twitter you can find us an. underscore called. h

in egypt, it has been nearly five months since president mubarak was overthrown.ay, hundreds of thousands of protesters were out in force again. they were demanding trials for members of mubarak's regime and a quicker pace of reform. >> they flooded into the square. it was the largest demonstration since crowd here unseated president mubarak five months ago. since then, egyptians have become more frustrated about the pace of change. they say behind the scenes, the same old officials are still in control. >> after five months of the revolution, but we have seen no changes. we have seen more violence, and teargas. >> one has a caricature of mubarak with the words, "we will get you." the military rulers seem to be dragging their feet. that hide a growing -- that is bad news for those trying to run this country. the anger has already boiled over. there were riots earlier this week after a court freed on bail policemen accused of shooting their protesters. elsewhere, the complaints are about high food prices and lack of security. the police stayed away to avoid trouble

the mubarak regime was a very color and he used security and stability the same language american. language british colonial language security stability they never speak about justice. or inequality or independence. egypt so you know we have to be very very aware and i have really proud now that the egyptian people to me on the people who went to the streets to the squished age twenty five january and of course we got three of mubarak. but the body of betty jean is still there they are in the military and the government in the media in your universe you know what i did and who am i going to learn and so on that point here i mean it's still the mubarak regime it just without its head and this is wally one of the reasons why i wanted to do this program here is because we can we actually even use the term revolution yet because the the the the corpus of that regime is still very active the military has amazing privileges controls huge swaths of the economy i mean in many many ways it's news been no revolution whatsoever and say to some degree we do still have a continuation of the pas

egypt's uprising might have ousted president mubarak but to them he's far from gone thousands of people out here on top here they all see different visions of egypt but they join together because the people we've spoken to feel like their revolution has been stolen we go through the books of the mubarak's the. life and when the taste of freedom was short lived the military is in full power a mass media is being choked and oppression still rampant and worse. i think they werent catching activists as much as they are doing now and take them to work prison i guess now they're being revealed by the want to kill with this so that in the first place he's known simply as hostile here in egypt a social network or with a twitter army of some thirty thousand followers the military throws of civilians have to stop immediately immediately this is you know one of the major demands we're putting forward one of many demands including transparent trials for the fallen regime and the purging of corrupt officials they got rid of mubarak you know their high ranking officials but now egypt with the same wa

the revolution has stalled despite the overthrow of's mubarak -- hosni mubarak. dramatic changes are taking place across the region. >> six months ago, egypt had a president who was more like a pharaoh. he left no golden memorial, just a deeply troubled country. the way his regime and did -- ended inspired other arabs. in cairo's quarter, you can see what people want a new middle east. official corruption made the country worse, the regime's real legacy. too many live in places like carrots -- cairo's cramped back alleys. it is hard to feel free if every day is a struggle. to get an idea of where the changes are coming from, you need to go down any street in the middle east. or around 60% of arabs are under the age of 30. a lot of them are fed up with regimes that have not been trying to give them better lies. this year, they feel they can do something about it. change is not coming easily or quickly, but there is no going back to the way it was. but they have gone back to tahrir square because they believe the revolution is not complete. egyptians overthrew the

quit since twenty five january and of course we got three of mubarak. but the body of very dream is still there they are in the military in their government in their media in university and i don't know who and i got a letter and so on that point here i mean it's still the mubarak regime is just without its head and this is willie one of the reasons why i wanted to do this program here is because we can we actually even use the term revolution yet because the the the the corpus of the regime is still very active the military has amazing privileges controls huge swaths of the economy i mean if in many many ways it's news been no revolution whatsoever and say to some degree we do still have a continuation of the past i think what is very surprising you know ways by the military yes of course it's trying to maintain its power to konami power hold on egypt there's no question about it but one of the forces that paradoxically is asking the military can slow down partially will change it's actually the liberals who started the revolution because as the ruler

all our lives to say that it's lived up to expectations because if the first expectation was that mubarak step down yes he did is he in trial today yes he hears but is that enough for the people that lives in egypt every day of liberty freedom dignity democracy i think we're far away from that. that the behavior of the military is is the part that we need to watch out very closely because what they're doing is they are giving a long leash to the people saying yes we will do it not today tomorrow but the question is they still holding power yes they are and they want to keep it for a long time and what do you see even the tension between moslems and christian cops and all of that it's just i think it's a big need for their part to say listen we have to stay in power there is no security in the country there is a religious tension and we have to keep the power we have i think one sign that was positive lately that they delayed the election so that that give times to the groups that were not prepared not ready to prepare themselves for the next elections it's very interesting that you are no

next month after hosni mubarak was ousted as the popular in a popular uprising in egypt peter lavelle on a panel of guests to talk about whether the revolution has really achieved its goals stay with us cross talk coming your way on our team. hungry for the full story we've gone to. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on t.v. . can. follow in welcome to cross talk i'm peter lavelle five months on what is the condition of the egyptian revolution as it lived up to expectations what does people's power mean there today and could the revolution be hijacked during the coming elections. came. across not what's going on in egypt now i'm joined by rula jebreal in rome she's a journalist and author of mira in london we go to now elsa dowie she's a writer and political activist and often referred to as the mother of the revolution and in zurich we crossed the lower end zone but dino he's an academic and security expert who specializes in islam and political violence in europe and north america all right folks this is cross talk that means you can jump any time

it's been five months now since mubarak was forced out, we were there to cover it. there was so much hope back then, but there's now growing anger over the pace of change and growing concern over who holds the power. our chief foreign correspondent richard engel finds himself back in tahrir square once again tonight. richard, good evening. >> reporter: we certainly are back here in tahrir square and so are the demonstrate fors, today we saw the biggest protests since the ones that brought down hosni mubarak and they say they're going to stay in this square until the revolution's been met. over 100,000 people in tahrir square today, back with their tents and slogans. mubarak may be gone, but he and his top officials have not been put on trial, reform is slow or nonexistent. the revolution here is clearly not over, but now many of the young activists who started this revolution five months ago fear it's being hijacked by the military and islamic groups. we visited the cairo headquarters of the secular revolutionaries who toppled mubarak with their campaigns on faceboo

leave it was more than that was the idea that they no longer needed to live in fear of mubarak's secret police of which were five hundred thousand torturers it was the idea of the fear they got over there's no sense here that this is an idea you know martin luther king jr march with a million people in washington d.c. with a dream not with a demand that people know that congress me and determine whether or not there was racism in society it was a bigger idea where they had overcome their. acceptance that they were second class citizens now you don't see anything like this here well first of all they have to recognize that there's a war going on that the war of banks turns against the people so they need to stop the war they need a new stop the war campaign and number two they need to target the right institution the institution the target in new york city would be the new york federal reserve bank and they should seek and also they need objective the objective would be regime change so occupy tent city in front of the new york federal reserve bank into all the current administration lea

we must remember that joe biden and hillary clinton didn't want also mubarak to go as well as mubarak and his cronies so many of them are retaining power and it's a very dangerous situation and we mustn't forget what's crucial here for. sure. look is this is girl that's where trade goes through and it is the most populous country arab country in the arab world and we're not hearing anything about it in the corporate news it's as if that revolutions done and dusted in the egyptian people for. all three men convicted of trying to blow up synagogues in new york each been sentenced to twenty five years in prison but the case is where a huge controversy after they were actually incited by the f.b.i. and handed fake bones will critics claim it was a setup but the judge said her hands were tied. for nearly a decade the u.s. has waged a widespread global war on terror it's required multitasking military effort overseas on the domestic front u.s. officials have decided to double down recently announcing counterterrorism plans that refocus resources on combat homegrown plots this is the first k

the expectations that the fall of mubarak could be followed by a change of regime hasn't really come about but barak and his family and closest cruize have been imprisoned or accused will go on trial next month of all sorts of crimes against the people against the interests of country but of course field marshal tantawi members of the military ruling council with his appointees to great extent across egypt people do see that the local boss the local head of the stray ship has changed so there's a sense that the old regime was decapitated but minus mubarak it's still in power ironically one of the big reasons of the revolution people's economic discontent social this contentious it was a show about unemployment and so on actually the process of getting rid of mubarak has made in the short term the economy worse i do think really there's an easy. to egypt's economic problems because global oil prices global food prices and so on are rising and egypt is essentially important. so to come here in the program in it to win it we take you to india where enterprising young people are turning
