the muslim brotherhood was he he was the most significant symbol of the muslim brotherhood because ofis incarceration and because of his refusal to submit to the demands of other fatah sisi for the crew to take place i did a documentary which a few months ago called the final hours and it looked into the last week of his presidency and based on the aides that were around him and eyewitness testimonies and so forth and this these were stories that were then shared amongst the political prisoners in their prisons in jail cells in egypt and so forth. he he had a personal conviction which he said clearly in his last address on t.v. but also to c.c. and others that his life was worth sacrificing if it meant as far as he was concerned in his own conviction if it meant saving the revolution that india and him. hundreds of thousands if not millions of his own supporters prayed in the muslim brotherhood and that's maybe what propelled him above the guy general who is traditionally the most significant person in the muslim brotherhood his popularity would surpass that of muhammad but the very e

it's been part of a democratic process in a number of countries not just in gaza where the muslim brotherhood backed hamas actually took power in a democratic election but also in countries such as tim is here where the brotherhood is part of the political process so this is one thing that has in a way restrained the administration from taking further action against the brotherhood the fact that some within the administration argue very strongly that the muslim brotherhood is part of a democratic political process in a number of countries and by declaring it a terror organization it would impact on the u.s. relations with those particular countries so this despite the urging of leaders such as president l.t.c. certainly israel has been arguing very strongly to the trumpet ministration that the brotherhood should be declared a terror organization but to date the administration still would appear to be pondering the situation no decision has been taken as yet and there is a body of thought in the administration that is opposed to that because of the role that the muslim brotherhood plays in the

muslim brotherhood that they. attempt to attempt to participate in democracy and achieve power through those days has been unjustly prevented and in their view he's kind of a warning about the risk dealing with establishment security apparatus and former regime. actors which is something the brotherhood has in the process a history of compromising with a time. attempting to l'abri what we've just had some reaction from the turkish president to ship type i don't want to miss the saying that mohamed morsi has died as a martyr after 6 years of detention in egypt and of course reactions will continue to come in but let's talk a bit more about his legacy within egypt they were mass protests before his ouster by the military in july of 2013 what did the gyptian i mean he it was after all democratically elected by christians he's rule lasted for a year what do egypt and see say went wrong with him what did they blame him for why were they mass protests by of his removal by the military. well they believe that he. but the

organization bearing in mind that they played very strong roles in turkey a strong supporter of the muslim brotherhood intimacy of course in which they are part of their democratic democracy there so there is elements within the tramp administrations that have been arguing to declare the brotherhood a terrorist organization with the encouragement of the president to c.c.u. of egypt and of course israel which has been arguing very strongly with the trump administration that it should but as yet no decision has been taken because those difference in opinions within the administration itself thank you for that my can i live for a sane washington d.c. . now earlier i spoke to mohamed el masri who is associate professor of media and culture studies at the doha institute for graduate studies he says he gyptian government is responsible for mohammed morsi set. and this is the outcome that the egyptian government has wanted for years for morsi and also for other brotherhood leaders like mohammed as the slightest shelter they don't want necessarily to execute these people because of the fallout that the execut

your it was a very important figure and as a result of the election he became the face of the muslim brotherhood in egypt he was the president of all egyptians i think as i mentioned earlier that the brotherhood as a movement at the brotherhood as an ideology that goes beyond egypt has suffered tremendously over the last 5 or 6 years now clearly the movement has faced tremendous for pressure on its members have been fragmented it's lost a lot of appeal there has been tremendous infighting within the movement ideological and otherwise as to the way forward and so on so i don't think again that mohamed morsi is tragic and untimely and premature death is going to impact that development tremendously it's already along that line of movement that is suffering and struggling and trying to make sense of itself and might not be able to come here again certainly in an hour and in the form that it did previously and for 80 plus years of egyptian and middle eastern and even beyond history. thank you very much for speaking to us and giving us your reaction to. more saints that. well. it is coming up to 1800

said his death was due to a cardiac arrest is muslim brotherhood organization said he died because of the poor conditions in which he was incarcerated and accused the egyptian government of assassinating him we'll have more from cairo in a moment 1st we have this report. 7 years ago in 2012 mohammed morsy became egypt's 1st democratically elected president. a member of the muslim brotherhood which has since been outlawed morsi won 51 percent of the vote his election followed the arab spring uprising which till the end of a 30 year rule under previous president hosni mubarak who morsi promised to head a government for all egyptians. but dissatisfaction quickly grew prompting huge protests against him but many were angry about the muslim brotherhood's influence on politics and believe most he had failed to deliver on his promises. after just one year in office morsi was ousted in a military takeover led by egypt's current president abdel fattah el-sisi. mosi was immediately arrested and remained behind bars until his death he was serving a life sentence related to the killing of protest

mohamed morsi was the leader of the muslim brotherhood. we know the muslim brotherhood.nd also the muslim brotherhood about how his death is mourned. the organisation has described his death as murder, say he had been held in solitary confinement for six years. more reaction on that story, no doubt, tomorrow from egypt. but now we are going to turn to the issue of iran‘s nuclear deal, because it appears close to collapse. iran says that in ten days, it‘ll break the limit on its uranium stockpile and that it‘s quadrupled the production of it. bear in mind, uranium is used to make reactorfuel and potentially to produce nuclear weapons. the deal was signed in 2015 — all smiles then. but then last year, the mood changed when donald trump signed this memorandum pulling out of the deal. and a few months later, re introduced sanctions. those sanctions are at the heart of these latest developments. iran says european countries, which still back the deal, are not doing enough to help iran deal with the sanctions. here‘s a spokesman for iran‘s atomic energy organisation. translati

said, they've issued a statement saying that all duty of care was taken when it comes to the muslim brotherhoodath? the brotherhood has already, sort of, essentially been buried, the egyptian government has carried out an extensive campaign of eliminationism since 2013. they arrested the top several tiers of muslim brotherhood leadership, obvious they killed many members and supporters of the muslim brotherhood, they banned the brotherhood's political party, they shut down all of their media, and they even prevented — legally prevented — brotherhood members from running for parliament even as independents. so the brotherhood has been forced underground. they still are very popular in egypt, they have millions of supporters, morsi's approval rating was quite high, even after the military coup, and even after he was accused of espionage and other things. so, we'll have to see in the months and years that come, how the brotherhood re—groups with a new leadership structure. recent reports of plastic waste found on the very bottom of the ocean floor have highlighted just how much rubbish we humans c

had hijacked the revolution and so when you had elections in 2012 it was the muslim brotherhood who came to power and there was an expression that was being bandied about at the time that hosni mubarak who was the former egyptian president was now imprisoned in the muslim brotherhood and being imprisoned was now in the presidency so a complete flip around i was remember a lot of people telling me that they felt that the united states then was under president barack obama had this. it's double standards because for so many years it had supported hosni mubarak and then suddenly there was this overflow and you had the muslim brotherhood in power and the americans were very quick to support an organization that many in the international community have regarded as a terrorist organization now as far as morsi he did not last and powerful very long and in june 2013 millions went back to square and called on him to step down he refused and then a few days later you had the egyptian army that militarily overthrew him a month later there was a massacre which was known as the massacre in augus

brent: we know that the muslim brotherhood has called for an international independent investigation into his death. is that likely to happen? >> and egypt at the moment, with the new -- i say new regime -- the regime that replaced him, that support for the muslim brotherhood has been quashed. there is less support now, it might be the weakest time for them and their 90 year history. in terms of what we will see, it might be scarce or nothing. it remains to be seen. brent: what does it tell us about the way he will be remembered moving forward if the muslim brotherhood is weak and egypt is a country? i'm picking up mubarek as well -- and to give mubarak as well. when you're ousted, your ousted. >> egypt state television as a been covering this as much as you might expect a country to cover the death of its former president. with mubarak as well, his trials were televised, we do not have that with morsi. in terms of whether supporters get to mourn this, whether it will be big in egypt at all, i don't see that happening. >> -- brent: do you think there will be an official day of mourni

visited and wey saw trump again restarting this call to label the muslim brotherhood a terrorist organization. even within the u.s. government itself, many state department officials and defense department officials think that will be a very divisive move to do because the brotherhood operates in many countries as a political organization. but there is this kind of branding of or attempt to bring all islamist as terrorists, unfit for political rule. this fits in the rubric of a larger world order that completely -- has completely been accepted by the united states and the west. trump has a hcummy relationship with sisi. the actual policies of not marked a significant shift whether republican or democratic administration, which has been to continue massive military aid to egypt, continue support is the economic support to egypt. in fact, trump suspended more aid than obama did following aa massacre.b bothboth suspended aid in restored it eventually. this has been a continuation of a long-standing policy, which is --work with a strong man "strongman" that we like and sisi is to be happy with th

opposition voices within his government yes that's correct and he was not the leader of the muslim brotherhood he was a you know relatively senior member but he wasn't really a very charismatic or. powerful leader he was brought in at the end because the people that the muslim brothers wanted to run were not allowed to run so they. picked him out and he turned out to be at the personal level a little bit bland and not so charismatic but the real problem that they had was that the muslim brothers not only in egypt but in every single arab country with the possible exception of tunisia where they either controlled or shared power significantly proved to be politically incompetent they just did not know how to exercise power they were comfortable in the opposition and very effective in their opposition they didn't know what they were doing when they were incumbents and this happened all over the middle east and yemen and jordan and kuwait and in sudan and and and then in egypt so that's the deeper problem they just didn't know how to govern they weren't ready to govern they didn't know how to mob

is that even realistic is that likely to happen in egypt well the muslim brotherhood now isn't as strong as the east to be it is no longer theme as an official political party it's been outlawed. the amount of support that the muslim brotherhood has at least outwardly in egypt is so scarce it's really difficult to source and to find real big numbers of whether or not his death will now change things i guess remains to be seen but we can't really say for sure if protests will come out big numbers talk about some home and morsi what is his legacy i mean the world knows the name morsi well he's really learned for sort of. around the well as being egypt's 1st democratically elected president even though his presidency only really lasted for one year before he was ousted again so really what happened there was a whole series of protests over reforms that he was trying to implement but. didn't really work out a man is what really prompted the military them to intervene in this military coup that now happened. still a defector sisi egypt's current president and powerless or he even though he ha

di it was a key figure in egypt's muslim brotherhood and the 1st democratically elected president in the country's modern history morsy had been in jail since 2030 after the military ousted him following mass protests against his rule. let's get you the latest now on these breaking developments for that i would like to turn now to correspondent ruth michelson she is joining us on the line from the capital of cairo with what exactly happened. for we understand from the local media here in egypt that former president morsi died while on trial espionage cases in espionage cases result he's made damning from. his connection with a legit connection with the palestinian islamist group. the local media said that he also is judged to speak fainted and then died before his body was taken to the hospital the former president has been in solitary confinement since he is tension in 20 says he and i have been ongoing questions raised about his health and his treatment while in prison. now mohamed morsy was egypt's 1st democratically elected president what do you think his legacy will be. well he'

style of leadership no of course as you alluded to he came from egypt was obama's group the muslim brotherhood you read it he brought it to power do you now expect protests erupt in egypt after his death. well it's important to remember the context that protests here in egypt have been essentially following a lauren 20 team so they're essentially nonexistent now but they're all reports of increased security across the country q 2 confirmed by the egyptian government the file an offshoot of the muslim brotherhood may take action following this incident with michael sam reporting from the capital cairo thank you here in germany federal prosecutors have revealed they're treating the killing of a local politician as far right extremism alternate that was a member of on america's conservatives and a vocal supporter of her welcoming approach to refugees he was shot dead earlier this month at his home in the central state of has police say the suspected killer arrested on saturday has a long track record of hate crimes in the early afternoon a spokesperson for the federal prosecutor held a press conf

the death of the muslim brotherhood's mohamed morsy one last chance for the egyptian news media to show their true colors on his story plus film as apartheid era propaganda and the south african movie makers were calling the shots the world is watching that is the chant on the streets of hong kong as images of mega protests are beamed around the globe 2000000 people in a city state of just 7000000 out to stop the passage of a law that would allow suspected criminals to be extradited to mainland china last saturday hong kong as lead politician the beijing backed kerry lam announced that she was suspending the implementation of the legislation but that was not nearly enough either for the demonstrators or the local reporters covering this story because hong kong journalists know that should this bill pass beijing could extradite them one day as well as theirs. arse's communist party leaders on the mainland are watching the situation closely to their public are far less informed state run television has either ignored the protests or echoed the party line that there is some western conspir

it is as i said acknowledged by the qatari supporting the muslim brotherhood and this is a bus stop for out of the condit country is decided this total is a must stop so cut it there are ships supposed to respect this for out of according to these and cut their support and their assistance to the muslim brotherhood or they are the motherboard of the most of the terrorists islamists in the in the area . i'm going to interrupt because we're starting to run out of time and i want to get a quick final word from simon there's got to be compromise somewhere along the way doesn't there. sure there really does and in order to actually get something moving forward you have to have dialogue you have to build trust and building trust is incredibly difficult when there's been such animosity to build trust both sides are going to have to have some degree of compromise they going to have to find something to give up that the other side has been particularly worried about and in order to do that we're going to have to find someone to mediate it's going to have to be someone powerful it's got a vested

so there was deep discontent with the role of the muslim brotherhood part of it was over just genuine incompetence that they weren't confident in their ability to run the economy there were some embarrassing episodes in foreign policy that made the egyptian state look weak but another part of it was fear over the muslim brotherhood while the muslim brotherhood did not seek to islamicize society overnight many egyptians were concerned that the ultimate aim of the muslim brotherhood was to put pressure on minority groups to bring people closer into line with sharia law and that spooked a lot of people and the combination of those 2 factors led to a groundswell of opposition to morsi and hope that the egyptian military which up until that point was very popular would be able to right the ship and your assessment do you think that things will come to a head in a violent way in the near future you know we've already talked about the repressive measures that the regime is implementing was the appetite i wonder among egyptians to take to the streets again for the 3rd time. i think that we al

a spokesman for the muslim brotherhood claimed his death was first—degree murder. that. for many egyptians, he is just a footnote to history, but others will look back at a brief moment when morsi was a symbol of hope and democracy. 0rla guerin, bbc news. sarah leah whitson, executive director for the middle east for human rights watch, agreed that president morsi was in poor health. no, he was not a well man. he had diabetes and he had a liver condition, both of which required specialised medical attention and a specialised medical diet, which the egyptian government, as you noted, knew of but failed to provide any of the specialised treatment that he needed. so your case would be that, even though his health had been deteriorating over a number of years, they made it worse. president morsi was serving as president and was in fine health, with his diabetes under control. it was after he entered prison that his health took a very serious decline. he lost a great deal of weight. every time he appeared before a judge, he pleaded for specialised medical care. he plead
