the muslim brotherhood starts with the best organized campaign. >> democracy in action. not in theory, but in action. >> i am lyse doucet in downtown cairo, where i have been speaking to egyptians. the queues have been long and enthusiastic. for the most part, they have been orderly. >> welcome to gmt. i am george alagiah, with a world of news and opinion. also in the program -- the condoleezza are also voting today. we found l y japan's -- found out why japan's young are queu ing up. it is midday in london, 7:00 a.m. in washington, and 2:00 in the afternoon in cairo. the election pitches the organizational prowess of the muslim brotherhood with the pro- democracy activists. will it usher in the new era the tahrir square generation wants? let's get the latest from my colleague, lyse doucet. >> welcome to cairo. welcome to this area outside the polling station. this is a historic day for egypt. it's meant to move us closer to democracy. just 10 minutes away from where i am standing, the protesters say they will have nothing to do with elections that are under the supervis

player why the muslim brotherhood paste of dunces u.-turn lately when all this happened in your country the revolution started back in january it was the muslim brotherhood playing a very pivotal role in organizing the protests now they say protests on the way forward going to the polls are the way forward why this very big utero. i think. did not disappear you mean by that because you didn't tear very well your question just saying when all this started off back in january it was the muslim brotherhood that was organizing a lot of the protests that we saw on the streets they were foremost in the front of the now they were behind the protests we've seen this last week and they say protests are the way forward now people must go to the polls why they changed their mind about protest. you're know the before of the last the last event a week before they participated alone i think with the salafist in. freud a. protest in tahrir square but they did not participate after. this is. a political dimension for the readers of this movement not to

well the muslim brotherhood has been historically a very traditionally conservative force of change they really believe one reforms as opposed to radical change from the outset of the egyptian revolution the leadership of the muslim brotherhood which is the older generation of muslim brotherhood was very hesitant to join the protests in the square what they've done this time around is they actually did take part but they never do officially they actually the official position is we will not be taking part the reason for that i think is that the now believe the best way to get to power is through elections that's why i think there is some sort of a negotiated understanding between scarff which is the military council and the muslim brotherhood leadership to get it to try and get the elections going at any cost and that's what they've been trying to do they've extended polling for two days instead of one on monday and tuesday they're pretty concerned about the security situation but they think that the best way for them to get to power is actually through elections even though i think we s

majority of the muslim brotherhood or i would say are similar radical some are so hard to course r.r.c. some not a radical but certainly just wants. what is very similar to the the eternity it's strong islam ist party put it's also secular but they keep the army check so i assume that the best model forced from the point of view of the muslim brotherhood for egypt would be to turkish model it's not necessary what google generation wants put forth that they need badly to organize themselves into very strong political parties and to be stronger stronger in the next two months. pictures on of your shoulder where we're just looking at a live picture coming through from areas where we're bringing our view it. is difficult to see exactly what's going on you see an awful lot of people in the square as i say we've heard there have been over one hundred fifty injuries over the last twenty four hours. is there a danger do you think that this could escalate into bloodshed over the next couple of days yes it depends on it depends on what they call the turn cow eat junk up after a field marshal tan

about being on the streets and fighting for the future of egypt as i understand the muslim brotherhood was the party that took the least steps let's say on the streets they weren't really out on the streets with the people these last couple of months . you could say so because we haven't seen them joining in some major strikes in in egypt. and yes they haven't been there and if you are talking about this affecting their popularity i would say. yes but when it comes to voting power i think it's a bit different maybe the last you can say they lost the respect of a lot of the revolution. and what about claims that the muslim brotherhood has a very tight relationship with scout which of course is the supreme council of the armed forces who is in control of the party and a lot of people say really taking care of these elections making sure they go fairly and there's no fraud per se what i would say that there is a relation but i would say from my point of view that country muslim brotherhood fears the scaf more than. it's the other way or so because of their history with the with the army s

does that does not necessarily mean that the muslim brotherhood represents. some story or represents some kind of iran style cruel or a demand for that they are part of the fabric of the society and they will have to be incorporated like everybody else in the society all the you know i've been covering at islamic movements over the past five years and my newspaper and everybody at this and on islam is all believe that every single is that there are the society needs to be involved in the political process so we are not in the end in any. way going to exclude anyone from this this mosaic this situation now is as follows we are in is about to have elections and mind you most of the people here are not against having the elections now the fact that there have been angered and have been driven to go back to the here because of the excesses of the ministry of interior and because the people have been killed. a few tiley will for no reason at all does not mean that we are against having elections and going through the process of the democratic process that will red

but not everyone has joined protesters the muslim brotherhood who are poised to clean the wall see the upcoming elections are taking a wait and see approach in part out of fear that the world could be moved and many in egypt believe that postponing elections could only entrench military rule which in turn would for inflame the current instability well one thing is clear is that the status quo is untenable well let's see about that i mean if i go to you first let's start with the conspiracy theories a lot of people saying that the current violence of this week and that's going on as we speak right now is something that the military actually wanted to have happen in the first place because they dream we don't want to have these elections because they're actually afraid of the outcome i think this is the biggest mystery it seems like this would be a motive for them to postpone the elections but there is at the same time they're insisting on having the elections i mean this morning there was a press conference with members of. the staff and. the head of the electoral commission and they we

by the muslim brotherhood. the muslim brotherhood comes to power later on in egypt how would that change egypt. i don't think that anything is going to change because their program there is no nothing. and you feel their. whims had been surrounding. by the muslim brotherhood but in a way think that there's some a tendency then this is of powers in fact this feeling of power and we are going to be tested according to the we will put the truth so. we don't want to impede before possible something which is where which is not really sure i think all the muslim brotherhood and also the fundamentalists for the celibacy will disallow even as we say here made me think something like twenty percent of the whole of the bulk of the. shelf a member of the egyptian foreign ministry and current candidate for the presidential elections thank you for your time. serious facing sanctions from the arab league as it's automated against the country's leadership expires within hours earlier this week the cairo baseball he suspended

he believes that the muslim brotherhood will sweep to victory. he also says that there is no reason to fear the organization. >> if people vote for us, they will see that we can solve the problems of this country. the parliament is only elected for four years. everyone is talking about democracy and equality. have we ever had a chance to show that we will keep our promises? never. >> the demonstrators on the square are not thinking that far ahead. no elections, read the placards. too many have been killed. regardless of the outcome, they say that they will stay here until the military council finally hands over power. >> the egyptian election, voting for change, that is the report today. thanks for watching. thanks for the company. hi, i'm rick steves, with more of the best of europe. venice seems to be every italy connoisseur's... prague has always been beautiful... germany... the irish civilization... the eiffel tower was built... hope you've enjoyed the magic of... stonehenge is roped off and viewable only from a distance, but england is dotte

is now leading these these demonstrations these unrest the civil unrest the muslim brotherhood has gone from being a low profile stealthy player to being a very high very much a high profile player because it senses that its time has come and i think that's a very very important development to know that as this crisis continues so there is a big challenge that islam is could eventually take. in egypt because it points up that it's not what the west exactly because it does it. but it's certainly not i mean if you look at just some of the statements that have been coming out of muslim brotherhood out of the movement and its new party the freedom and justice party they're saying vets and nobody there you've been question the notion that islamic law shari'a should be the law of the land which on i'm sure that's a statement that a lot of factions in egypt would disagree with i mean there and other leaders have said that anyone who questions this idea of the church should be the law of the land they're being described as adulterers and alcoholics and drug addicts so this process of demonizing

and what about claims that the muslim brotherhood has a very tight relationship with scout which of course is the supreme council of the armed forces who is in control of the party and a lot of people say really taking care of these elections making sure they go fairly and there's no fraud per se what i would say that there is a relation but i would say from my point of view that country muslim brotherhood fears the scaf more than. it's the other way or so because their history with the with the army starting nine hundred fifty four when they clashed with the army they were dismissed as a group and they were sent to jail almost all of the members of but by that time so they are free to to repeat what has been going on and i think this they. what they provided to the military is that they want to cause a lot of problems on the ground so that's maybe the reason they haven't joined unless things the thing strikes that. was talking about things that affects them direct right thank you very much for joining us here live in cairo on this first day of the first round of the parliamentary election

it's perhaps the military wary though of the muslim brotherhood their eyes some speculation the muslim brotherhood is behind these protests demonstrating to the military that the people still have a voice and want to have their voices heard is it a case perhaps of the muslim brotherhood against the military here. no mark completely i i think the military is wary of democracy because they want to get their budget complete cleared the way they wanted them out they want and they want their power to be extended and they want to keep having the emergency iraq when they want it so they really when when they can't remember is what general sort of mubarak iraq are saying is this a light and basically that's was what it was cool your whole world was from birth into true revolution and democracy and the people of egypt have been very smart they saw actually died that they are even undemocratic and they want to maintain the military power and the fantasy is not what the people want to see are we actually now witnessing an ongoing revolution here or perhaps a second revolution i think it is a an o

the powerful muslim brotherhood has agreed it talks. there is unity on what needs to go but little detail on exactly what will replace it and how and the dangers of getting it wrong. >> egypt is now in a deep political constitutional and security crisis. everyone i spoke to yesterday in the square and again this morning is saying they are staying here until their demands are met. you can see just behind this is a growing crowd of people. that is what we saw yesterday. hour by hour the crowds get larger. you may see in the middle the white tarpaulin. last night they were building what seemed to be more permanent structures. they said they were building a hospital, a sign they expect not just the crowds to stay but the confrontation to continue. we saw running battles in bone corner of the square near the road that runs into the interior ministry. as the protesters kept moving in. it was back and forth with throwing of tear goes canisters. protesters moving forward and back and hundreds of injured in the square. we should remind our viewe

and the west and they're not going to accept the fact that the muslim brotherhood is now going to be in control of the situation nor are they going to accept the fact that the military is going to be in control the situation because it's a real of it's a real revolution in people's minds and hearts has started and i don't think it's going to be suppressed. after the revolution the initial jubilation turned into frustration as we've witnessed back on tahrir square do you believe this election is going to be convincing enough at the end the day for egyptians to finally close this chapter on the transition period are you hopeful. i don't think the chapter is going to be closed quickly i think as i mentioned earlier there has to be some powell see considerations it's not a lections do not make a democracy that's my view all over africa you need to have the people involved in a very clear discussion of the future of the country what kind of economic policies are we going to have water food energy these are vital questions for egypt and in and leaders of the country no matter what party th

once you get that, and initially the take is muslim brotherhood.e the ones that are pushing people in the street. it's quite a because to me, just reading the story to come to realize of course, the muslim brotherhood as everyone in the panel said would do well in the election. they are not the ones forcing the folks to the street. it turns out they are more conservative and more radical element present in society. that is a puzzle because i think everyone agrees we don't like the muslim brotherhood. they have not been supportive of american interest in the region. >> but the brotherhood is mature and disciplined. that is why it's not joining in the demonstration. it's afraid. the demonstrations are out of control and the military is on the defensive, it will declare martial law and cancel the elections, which the brotherhood will win. it's showing the maturity and the discipline that the young urbanites don't have. in history of the french, the russian, and iranian revolution that starts with idealists who want to have a democracy. we know how it

you know the people who would be voting for the muslim brotherhood today for example was quite absurd so with everything that's going on in egypt the muslim brotherhood was calling for a rally across this poor drusilla and a palestinian rally which is quite strange given the conditions in egypt oh roseman president of u.s. based out of a middle east german association thanks you for so. well the muslim brotherhood an islamic group considered terrorist by several countries is likely to pick up a bunch of seats in the egyptian parliamentary elections political analyst dr marcus puppet doublets says that if the western supported revolution seize is a mistake there's no going back if the people throw them in the people throw them in and they are very very popular you know it could be another scenario like in the gaza strip where five or six years ago when i speak when the gaza strip voted for hamas you know democratic way and the west attitude has been to shun a mass since then so i can't honestly say what they could do if the if if muslim if muslim brotherhood comes to power they come to

egypt's islamist party, the muslim brotherhood. the brotherhood was banned under mubarak.can and definitely anti-israel. but it had deep pockets. it just built a palatial new headquarters. and its power is undeniable. just listen to people we spoke to at a polling station today. do you mind if i ask who you're voting for? >> brotherhood. >> reporter: you're going to vote for the brotherhood? >> reporter: that benefits candidates like mohammad sayid. >> do you think the same is going to happen here? >> yes. >> you think it will? why? >> because this is the choice of the people. they like the islamic parties. the people want the islamic parties, why not? >> reporter: the 36 yelled mba wants egyptians and americans to know they have nothing to fear from the brotherhood, not even israel's peace treaty is as risk, he says. >> i know that in the western u.s., that the image, the positioning of the muslim brotherhood, is that maybe it's not like myself. some people who are considered as terrorists. no, we are really respect democracy, freedom, our party name is freedom and we are

but also the road more extreme muslim groups throughout the muslim brotherhood is actually rather soft and so we face the problem that the biggest single muslim group on the streets attention not necessarily the most radical and has been violence we should remember and we concentrate on curious work as a symbol and many people have been killed in fact ensues and we don't we're not assistance this is a big occasion and perhaps the focus just in cairo and since that is the country itself. i don't control but if i may we are running on time here but i'd like to turn our attention from egypt to that of syria if i just for a moment here there is a lot of well a lot of people are analyzing it and suggesting that we are expecting a libya style intervention into that of syria briefly your thoughts on that well i think the situation does seem to like if the so-called free syrian army can create an inclusive term tree then the british and french governments to sit in the situation would leave you with rubles control that must be a danger that either on the border with turkey or lupin some kind o

that's something that i found out about the muslim brotherhood in these election is that people here right ahead of this vote are so focused on the police brutality and the killings that we saw over the past week that they're not really that focused on the fact that the muslim brotherhood could win and that is dangerous in the sense that it could help them get even more votes because a lot of the people we've been speaking to are in fact not going to vote they're going to boycott the vote because they feel like it's a joke like they're voting in the same kind of people that's gaffney is still running the country making sure that who they want to come into power gets into power so a lot of people both here at tahrir square and at the newly organized occupy cabinet when this was being called just outside the prime minister's office people are saying we're not going to vote because voting just supports. the military council that's running the country and when he said this is the first time you've been reporting for us from there in cairo how much have things changed entire square since

the powerful and popular muslim brotherhood is proving to be just that really with early indications they claim that they will most certainly have a large majority of seats in this election and early indications are looking to support that claim coming in second according to those protections is the eleanor party which party which is also it is the most party it's seen as having a much harder line there noticed the country's radical islamists but really these indications for certainly show us that the muslim brotherhood is well organized and they have become really the most powerful political sort of force in the country since the fall of hosni mubarak but that said this is only the first stage of these parliamentary elections for the lower house the next few stages will happen over the next couple of months and then there will be a vote for the upper house a lot of different opinions about what that means for the future of egypt at least over the next couple of months into march and it seems that a lot of egyptians don't have any illusions the military ruler announced very clearly t

: the muslim brotherhood is an islamic group. it was banned for e decades -- banned for decades. in february, the brotherhood joined the revolution that overthrew mubarak's regime. and then for this election, rebranded itself as the freedom and justice party. >> the muslim brotherhood is going to be the largest block in parliament. it's just a question of how much really. >> reporter: there's no question that their knuckle politics lie ahead in egypt. but today, it was all about the novel thrill of simply having said. for the moment that the muslim brotherhood is going to great lengths to sound very moderate, they are not forcing women to wear vails, but they have a pro- business agenda. now, whether they drift slowly towards fundamentalism once anything settles down is everyone's guess. elizabeth palmer, cbs news, cairo. >>> tonight, the remains of the east bay marine killed in afghanistan are back in his hometown. thousands of people lined the streets in danville this afternoon to pay their respects to lance corporal joshua cora

the muslim brotherhood speaker had nothing to say about tahrir square. the brother would -- the brother and would prefer the protesters to go home. they do not want anything to disrupt the progress towards elections on monday. some brotherhood supporters went home from the mosque to tahrir square. the leaders think they are far enough ahead to play it safe and cooperate with the generals. >> this is the popular thing to happen. obviously, we are willing to sacrifice some of our support in order to make sure this is the most important thing that we are having in mind right now. >> a third rally was going on in cairo in support of the armed forces and against the protesters. >> elections, he says, not tahrir square. >> we support the army and the police. >> if an egyptian democracy emerges, it will be tested from birth by the dictatorship legacy. over mighty generals, intolerance. new blow to ital'y's government. bonds due to be repaid in two years' time hit more than 7.8%. that compares with 4.6% in the last seven months ago. violence clashes in southern

can there really be muslim brotherhood light? i am not sure. >> this login people chanted is the people want and is due to observer of bregenz said this is the year of the arabs but in the old formula you have to look for a leader and perhaps the blessing has been there is no one leader because after 40 or 50 years we have had all kinds of leaders some with charisma and some with nine and we see what happens this is the year of the citizen so this is what is important so perhaps in the short term and now it is not a problem not to have a leader. lourdes syria. six months these committees cannot withstand the onslaught without one single leader but a structure called coordinating committees and a number of charismatic people but we don't need to have one leader that makes it easier for the west because we want the one guy to talk to but now we have to talk to the people. [applause] >> they do for coming into this e band. it was a pleasure. and our speakers. [applause] >> as has hinted at to climate change does not look like bad we

this is the moment they've been waiting for. >> reporter: the muslim brotherhood is an islamist movementofficially banned for decades but kept on quietly organizing the grass-roots, especially the poor. in february, the brotherhood joined the revolution that overthrew hosni mubarak's regime and then for this election rebranded itself as the freedom and justice party. >> the muslim brotherhood is going to be the largest block in parliament. it's just a question of how much really. >> reporter: there's no question that bare-knuckled politics lie ahead in egypt. but today was all about the novel thrill of simply having a say. the muslim brotherhood is going to great pains to sound extreme moderate. they're certainly not talking anything about banning alcohol or making women wear the veil. in fact, they have a very pro-business agenda and they'll even be courting american investors, scott. but whether they drift toward fundamentalism as things settle down we'll have to wait and see. >> pelley: liz, thank you very much. a united nations report out today accuses syria's security forces of crim

the muslim brotherhood and others, they all want and islamist state. and given the likely victory in elections, they will love to come to some kind of arrangement with the military -- they will have to come to some kind of arrangement with the military. ali and his friends hunker down at the edge of the square. they are afraid they will not have a place in egypt that is taking place. >> the islamists will win the elections. but then the people will quickly realize that they were the wrong choice because the religious leaders cannot solve the problems either. >> ali and his friends want to get things moving again. some of the friends are back out in tahrir square and have erected tents. police raid the tents and clear them up. but the anger of the protesters is far from over. they threw stones. the police responded with tear gas. the situation escalates. ali's girlfriend is caught up in the altercation. degas irritates her lungs. many of her friends are injured. many across egypt are discussed with military brutality. -- disgusted with military brutalit

the freedom and justice party of the byzantine of the muslim brotherhood all. been conducted and the best a few weeks say that. it is it's not yet there is no any indicators that it would be a kind of a measure of presenting the majority of winning the majority of seats in the parliament but definitely it would be the largest bloc and the parliament if the muslim brotherhood does come out ahead or does get a majority what changes do you expect to see in egypt itself. when i think it is politically speaking it's important to recognise to institutionalize the muslim brotherhood as a political movement had been banned for long so bringing them to politics integrating them in a functioning democracy that is still very early on that ought to have really a functioning democracy but to do that this is important structural development in egyptian egyptian politics on the other hand it definitely it doesn't presume. inclinations of the significant part of the egyptian political i mean the conservative religious doubts about. relations with the west and that would mistak

and the west and i can accept the fact that the muslim brotherhood is now going to be in control of the situation nor are they going to accept the fact that the military is going to be in control the situation we need to reel to reel revolution in people's minds and hearts and started and i don't think it's going to be suppressed. so the gloves are off and tell you next hour in crosstalk as people of well grills his guests over the western role in the arab spring. we saw a year ago almost now the turmoil in egypt which is now returning no democracy there obviously the americans or the west are waiting for a western friendly government to be imposed of course to the israeli situation so that the the border with gaza is controlled by the west and by israel to create this because talking about the lack of democracy that been an uprising in egypt and have been clamped down there was no democracy there and then these developments are part of the process and i believe that it is an inexorable process in which ultimately the arab peoples will achieve the democracy that they aspire to everyone

the muslim brotherhood had nothing to say about tahrir square. that is because the brotherhood would prefer the protesters to go home. they don't want anything to disrupt the progress towards elections on monday which is expected to be their victory. some brotherhood supporters went on from the mosque and too tahrir square. the leaders calculate that they are far enough to play it safe. >> elections would have probably taken the decision to go to tahrir square. obviously, we are willing to sacrifice some of our support to make sure the forces, this is the most important thing we are having. >> a third rally was going on in cairo in support of the armed forces and against the tahrir square protests. >> elections, he says, not tahrir. >> we support the army and police. >> if democracy emerges, it will be tested by the legacy of the dictatorship over mighty generals, intolerance, and bitter division. >> violence has marked the start of the american holiday shopping season. on black friday, retailers cut their price to get customers to go to their sh

you know, it's either this regime or the muslim brotherhood so yeah, i think that is sort of have --t was the narrative that was being used. >> i mean, there is sort of a reality fact they're here. when i speak to egyptians and yasmine is there so she can confirm or disprove, but they are worried about an islamic takeover. i mean, the sadness is that many of the young revolutionaries we all salama but in the beginning happens if that way today risen to the challenge. inside you have a very organized force. the muslim brotherhood which has working mother methodically so it's not some sort of fantasy possibility. it is a real possibility. and i'm not sure that many egyptians would particularly like it appeared somewhat, but those women who don't want to cover their hair, for example, may not really welcome, you know, a strict islamic regime. but one has to be realistic. one has to look at what is unfolding day by day i think. >> yeah, one concern i might have is talking about egyptians. i mean, as we have learned from his revolutions come you know, we are talking about most popular ara

has personal scores to settle with the military the muslim brotherhood is in a position to challenge the military the question is who has more support it seems to me the who will. change will stream where you go online moments in egypt as people who it won't come because of me but there is a strange situation where the military in the muslim world will soon or it will be needed to get rid of her. muslim brothers and other perhaps they have been used as they were used in one thousand to can only generals. so the legacy. muslim brothers and look for elections have lots of will months but resumes lots of possibilities and claims of fraud claims a mile back and it's and just possible things going wrong in the meantime and some of the election process i think the problem for the muslim brotherhood may be i think it's the most organized group whether it's one of people. we don't know. about on the other hand or we've seen can use the same sort of presence as normal as a muslim party to be able to show it seems. but it's not just mass political demonstrations spilling out of the streets of

should the west be fearing a fact that there is a chance of the muslim brotherhood could get into power it doesn't necessarily mean that will be a radical islamic regime does it there are all sorts of interpretations of sharia law but is it a concern for the west is that what the west really want to know about the topic. esther's not worried at all if egypt really looks like it's going to go in a direction that is inimical to western and israeli foreign policy objectives and you will see military force being go there against egypt and it was against libya and this will go on and on throughout the region we have to keep in mind that the united states and israel and great britain invested a great deal of money and effort into people up with these shackles in order to keep the compliance from western foreign policy gap of course the extraction of their natural. which is the west is not just going to allow that you go by the wayside just because a few million disgruntled arabs happened to rise up and start demanding a freedom. and thanks so much for your time thanks for joining us author of

when you talk to people here on talking or about the muslim brotherhood most of them talk about it as their revolution being hijacked because of the organization is very well organized itself they claim that they're going to win some forty percent of the votes on one day's election the movement that is really this revolution to mobilize people here on the square angry about that and in fact some analysts that we've been speaking to people around the globe feel but if they do come into power is a very big chance of that but it could serve as a free pass from one of them or may do this in here in egypt as we saw perhaps in libya if the people fight the main the people fight the media and they off a very popular. of course if that was to happen then you could see in a few years time. all the british press western press talking about how well for the regime is there how dangerous it is and then you're back to a situation a game where there's discussions about nato airstrikes against egypt and then of course there's the news that the former head of the u.n. nuclear watchdog. is really took

i think it's a case of a lot of people against the building trades not just the muslim brotherhood who are protesting it's every other party or most of the protesting you know your correspondent quite rightly said a number of now said they will suspend their campaign with a view to the elections not being held because the associated with that but not holding elections is not a solution in the long run the solution has to be a proper democratic system in egypt so the people can decide what breakup will be is basically they've had a military government for a very long time ever since mubarak before him so there's a power in egypt essentially it's the mood for you hold the groups rule the roost but we're looking at those demonstrations taking place at the moment as we're talking to you at least twenty four people have reportedly been killed yet no condemnation from the west unlike the situations we're seeing in syria and libya why are we seeing double standards when it comes to government's crackdown on protesters here well it's western double standards at work par excellence they invaded

period what else is significant is that big leading voice behind these demonstrations is the muslim brotherhood which is regarded as a terrorist organization in several countries and this has caused many people many observers to say that we could be on the brink of a second revolution if they repress this syrian style this is going to get out of specially against the muslim brotherhood if we see let's see a large swath of that's going to lead to a real square with all the factions of the muslim brotherhood. google generation everybody in this square against a military dictatorship which is something that could happen within the next few weeks which really this week we're going to have to you square people are saying is that mubarak might be gone but what we're witnessing happening in egypt is far from what the people hoped for we witnessing sectarian violence there are more classes and there are important social grievances that are not being addressed. well to discuss what's going on in egypt at the moment i'm now joined live from cairo by political activists. while the protesters are going to
