we are seeing a return of the mubarak regime.e only thing remaining is the return of mubarak himself, which we are seeing today. the international community has backed off -- backed up the dictatorship for decades. we are seeing them being very neutral now. they did not does -- support the democracy as they should. >> i want to go to victor. you hurt our correspondents say many of those who supported the army's move, the ouster of vomit morsi could change their b.j. the ouster of mohammed morsi. >> mubarak now is completely irrelevant politically and as a person. no one really cares. >> you understand it is a bit of a shock for people who do not live in egypt. >> it is more of a shock than for people who live in egypt who really have forgotten about the whole mubarak thing. i would have loved if she had been talking about freedom and the political process and the route toward democracy in october and november when the constitution was being drafted. that is where it all went wrong, really. egypt had left the path to democracy at

most egyptians thought they put the mubarak era behind them.t is certainly a possibility that his freedom could fuel more protest, anger and division in egypt. these next few days will certainly be a big test for egyptians to see how much they will accept and tolerate from this new military-lead government. >> it really is a test. jonathan betts live from cairo, thank you. >>> officials say 1,250 homes remain evacuated in the resort areas of katchum and sun valley, idaho. and residents in a nearby town have been told toe evacuate for the second time in two days. these are the latest pictures for california's yosemite national park where four wildfires are burning. more than 2,000 homes and hotels are at risk. there are reports that 200 seniors were forced to vacate the park on thursday. >>> so the west is expecting some rain today. to figure out if that is any help at all, let's kick it over to rebecca stevenson. >> it's not going to make much impact on the fires that are being fought in oregon and idaho, because by the time the storms get up t

are we surprised at all to see mubarak in court today? >> well, that certainly was a question in the days leading up to the start of this retrial. some people were speculating that perhaps he would not make an appearance, remembering, as you said, that he's been hospitalized, he's currently under house arrest after being released from prison. he's under house arrest in a military hospital facility. we are seeing him now in court as we have seen him in the past and on his hospital stretcher, he was transported here via a helicopter from the military facility as he was when he was released from prison and taken to house arrest. i think that some people are surprised to see him in court today. but, as i say, there are many differing views on the political scene in egypt, there are just as many people welcoming the sight of him in court, hearing these charges again. >> thank you very much, that's wayne hey joining us from outside of the police academy in cairo where former president mubarak is being retried. we'll, of course, go back to wayne

is the military trying to restore the mubarak system without mubarak? >> it is difficult to say at this point. you have the ministry of interior announcing a couple of days ago that the egyptian cia is back, and that definitely raises some fear that the old regime with the police court is back. if the military has the best interests of the state in mind, that they will try to not reinstate the military state or a police state. >> thank you very much. >> we stay in the middle east where israel has reported that it intercepted rocket fire from lebanon on thursday. it also said that two or three other rockets came down outside israeli territory. >> there were no casualties reported, but israeli tv show troppo the damage. rockets were fired from an area that is a hezbollah stronghold. there was no immediate claim of responsibility, but israel blamed what it called a global jihad he -- jihadi organization. row after row of corpses -- that is the latest product of syria's civil war. >> opposition forces say hundreds of people were killed in a chemical attack

confronted by mubarak. that spirit remained within the judiciary.hile the system for the judiciary never allowed it to be independent but the great majority of judges managed to retain independence, certain judges had cooperated and i'm sure that some of those still exist but there has been no information on manipulation and trying to assign specific judges in order to give specific sentences. >> reporter: and former president mubarak will face charges of insight and in this case for failing to stop the killing of protesters during the 2011 revolution which forced him from office, these are two similar trials involving two foes, and popular protests which occurred here at this square has seen the battle move from the streets to the courts with scrutiny now of the independence of the country's judicial system. >> and now mike joins us from the cairo bureau. what is expected to happen today, mike? >> reporter: well, in the supreme court in cairo, in the downtown part of the city there will be six senior members of muslim brotherhood appearing in the c

in egypt former egyptian president, hosni mubarak was ordered to be released from prison. it's possibility he could be free, however, his legal troubles not ever. jonathan betts joins us from cairo. what has the reaction before to this news, jonathan? >> yeah, it is a huge development, the reaction at cairo is waiting and seeing. two years ago the country celebrated when hosni mubarak was thrown from office, but in the past two years, a lot has changed in egypt, the government has changed triwice. but today acourt in cairo, cleared one of the last hurdles. now it looks like it is becoming increasingly possible that hosni mubarak could be freed from prison. unlikely to happen today, but sources telling al jazeera it could happen as early as tomorrow. not a guarantee, though. we're obviously not sure exactly what may happen. but he does -- there are appeals in place, and he could -- that decision could be appealed by prosecutors as early as tomorrow. and he does face other charges. there's a trial that begins on sunday for his role in the killing of protesters in 2011, but c

in the meantime the eighty five year old mubarak will stay in a minute she hospital to await his next court appearance which is likely to trigger more protests and that's the last thing the divided country needs right now. for. kyra. i'm here about who we spoke to our pro-democracy spokesperson. in things that the current military backed government has plenty of mubarak supporters deep within its ranks who have simply freed their exports from prison. it comes at the tool no surprise that mubarak was released at the end of the day it was sisi and the military junta releasing their books and it's the judges the corrupt judges are releasing the one person and the the head of the state that people went out on the twenty fifth of january big mission to talk to what we're seeing now is not only the return of the mubarak regime it's actually the return of the head of the american dream as well egyptians went out on the twenty fifth of january revolution we wanted a free country and we wanted the judiciary to actually be that that represents the people not the one that was appointed by mubara

time frame for a potential release of mubarak, mike? >> the lawyers are at the tora prison they are going influence what is called the necessary paperwork. it is likely they are also discussing the terms of the house arrest that has been imposed on hosne mubarak. no clear time frame as to how long this procedure is going otake place. >> we should point out mubarak has not been acquitted of any crime? >> that's correct. he still faces charges on a number of allegations, in particular the corruption charges are ongoing and of course the charge that he was complicit in the matters in 2011. so hosne mubarak will be back before the court to hear that ongoing trial. now his house arrest incidentally was ordered by the country's prime minister acting as the deputy military commander. this makes clear that the house arrest has been ordered in terms of the state of emergency regulations. it is not clear whether the place of his house arrest is being determined at the same stage. we understand that this is something that the lawyers are discussin

i feel that we haven't progressed at all right now but mubarak's release is symbolic of where we are now in the revolution i mean we never really managed to change anything at the top and this is why this is just a perfect reflection of our inability to change anything really and this is why we have to keep going forward but with his release it seems to me like we have a lot of work to do. in the meantime the eighty five year old mubarak will stay in a minute she hospital to await his next court appearance which is likely to trigger move protests and that's the last thing the divided country needs right now. kyra. i know we had a chance to speak to activist mohamed she thinks the current military backed government has plenty of mubarak supporters deep within its ranks who have a simply knowledge is freed their ex boss from prison. it becomes a tool no surprise that mubarak was released at the end of the day it was sisi and the military junta releasing their books and it's the judges the corrupt judges are releasing the one person and the the head of the state that people went out on

they ousted mubarak, then decided they wanted him back. the best thing was to get the military council to make it as bad as they could for people to live in egypt to create revolution, and then to oust him and bring mubarak back. from the beginning of the coup, from the third of july we knew that it was premeditated, and very, very cleverly done, and this is the natural outcome. but the problem is that they miscalculated the backfire of what they had done. this is what we've been saying from the beginning. >> if i could jump in, have hey miscalculated? there are those saying the protests seem to be calming down in the last two or three days? >> well, every day we're out on the streets, and every day people are getting killed. today there were bullets, nothing has calmed down. everything is on the street as is, and they've taken to the muslim brotherhood, and to be replaced immediately. an hour after, it didn't even take an half hour, he was put in his place. and the same in every inch in egypt. and the coalition is working. it's not just t

could hosni mubarak be free in two hour's time?> that is one of the many possibilities that has emerged in this case. what has happened is the judge will be hearing an appeal on m mubarak defense. that being said, he is due for a retrial, which begins in a few day's time on sunday, so there are a number of possibilities in the upping, one of which the judge agreein agreeing with mubs defense and allowing mubarak build three pending investigations, but very difficult if not impossible to predict an exactly what will happen at this stage. >> if he is free you can't get more of an indication by the failure of the revolution. have things changed so much that mubarak could be freed, and this is acceptable to the majority of the public? >> whether or not this would be acceptable to the majority of the public is highly debatable, but it is a sign of the shifting changing circumstances that could be condemn plated even though it's perhaps a faint possibility. but certainly it reflects the fact that an interim government is in force, put in

of hosni mubarak. what is at play in egypt at this point? he has been released from his military hospital or the prism, what is next there? i think what is that play is the extent to which they have taken control of the government in cairo can control the situation in the streets. if there are not massive protest and the next two or five weeks with clashes resulting in the deaths of citizens regardless of who they are and what everyone else thinks about the muslim brotherhood, how can the government that is now holding power in cairo create a peaceful situation? the question of mubarak being released from prison in calling for a new trial is certainly disconcerting from the washington perspective regardless of who is in power. that is the big question. how does this government shore up the reputation? it is cracking down in a way that hundreds of egyptian citizens were killed. creating a situation where a dialogue can be created. host: howard wrote about the administration's careful efforts to preserve
