the percentage of cops in the muslim brotherhood parliament now is also very small less than half a percent. and one can be and if there's not a single coptic representative in the government of the muslim brotherhood comes. however muggeridge victory didn't last too long when mubarak's place was taken by president morsi with the parliament practically dominated by islamic parties there was no place for her. vision for most. there's no doubt that copts in egypt are living in fear because every day we hear some extremist announcements which are into a country we expected that the cops just like all egyptians here woodgate their rights or at least get freedom and social justice all of them but now they're terrified even more because they're more islamic fact was. they want to make us pay the g.c.i. slotnick tax they want to put a tax on christianity make us where they hit and reduce the minimum age of marriage if i look at the final thing they want to legitimize is the matter of keeping kidnapped christian women so they don't have to return them to their parents for the have. them on honey pr

muslim brotherhood's leader mohammed badie gave a speech in cairo. he said members will keep protesting until morsi is returned to power. interim president adly mansour dissolved the upper house of parliament. muslim brotherhood member hs held a majority. the u.n. human rights chief says she's concerned by reports egyptian military leaders are detaining members of the muslim brotherhood. high commissioner for human rights navi pillay said she wants an end to arbitrary detentions. her spokesperson said the grounds for the detentions are not clear. he said any arrest needs a good reason and due process. >>> african union leaders say they've suspended egypt's membership. >> council decides to suspend the participation of egypt in au activities until the restoration of constitutional order. >>> representatives of au member nations criticized egyptian military leaders for ousting the democratically elected president. >>> japan's defense chief wants his nation to get better prepared to prevent a missile attack from north korea. he's urging government leaders to consider giving japanese forces the ability to attack a foreign base. defense minister itsunori onodera admitted officials hadn't expect

scrap the current constitution, would dissolve parliament and hold new elections sometime in the next few months that would be a huge blow to the muslim brotherhood which controls parliament and presidency. that is not somhing the muslim brotherhood wants to see today. today the rallies that the muslim brotherhood held around cairo and egypt were very, very different than what we've seen in the past. less about defending mohammed morsi the president and more about defending islam. the muslim brotherhood is turning this situation, these past few days into a fight against those who would want to remove islam from egyptian lifestyle. this ends up with possibility of a civil war here. that is being whispered around. a very different feeling than you get from being down in tahrir square. there is a lot of conrn if something peaceful doesn't change, doesn't come about in the next 24 hours, that the next couple weeks could be very violent, melissa. melissa: conor, stay safe. thank you so much for that report. time now for today's fuel gauge report. the reason we're telling you about this on a show called "money" because egypt's unrest fueling yet anothe

critics complain he failed to fix the struggling economy and he and muslim brotherhood dominated parliament curbed religious freedom. they complain that morsi is an islamic hosni mubarak, comparing him to the former military strong man that ruled egypt for decades. opposition groups are trying to use today's anniversary to pressure him into stepping down. organizing large protests across the country. tens of thousands of protesters began in tahrir square, waving flags, calling on morsi to leave. many also carried anti-american signs, they believe the u.s. is too close to morsi and muslim brotherhood. fearing attack, the u.s. embassy was closed and americans warned about being on the streets of egypt. on friday, an american student was stabbed to death in alexandria, taking pictures of a pro-government rally. morsi supporters also took to the streets today, gathering near the presidential palace in a show of strength. he vowed to stay the course, refusing to step down. so far, the egyptian military called for calm, but say they won't intervene. harris? >> thank you. >>> now to millions of am

parliament and maybe even the president. the military and opposition won't allow a system to be sut up where the muslim brotherhood can win parliamentsidency. this really was planned eand wel organized with the opposition, the last sort of 7 to 5 or 6 takes. it's tough to believe they will allow the muslim brotherhood to come back. they are very strong in egypt. >> conor something told us fireworks would be short lived and they are. please be safe. >>> egypt, the largest of all the arab country. the outster of its president will impact the entire region. what's the united states' stake? what should president obama be doing? john boulton joins me now? this looks a lot like 2011, hosni mubarak stepped down. are we just replacing mubarak with mubarak? what are we doing? >> well, hosni mubarak called for the outster of morsi. you can bet mubarak is celebrating tonight too. the muslim brotherhood taken its election and using it to follow the principal one vote, one person, one time. and wanted to establish an islamist state under sharia law. you don't get to vote on what god's will is when somebody knows what god's will is. they were mov

parliament and hold new elections. this would severely hurt the muslim brotherhood which controls the presidency and he parliament. the military wants to find a way to end the crisis. the muslim brotherhood thinks this is a political and military coup. the crowds on the streets in tahrir see this as a good thing. where this will led is still very unclear. >> shepard: speaking hype -- hypothetically, if the military steps in, how dot thattened the political turmoil? >> the mood of the promorsi rallies changed. that were much more defending law enforcement seems to be a battle between for islam and against islam. making this even more polarized. there's been hushed talks bat civil war here if this isn't a political solution to this crisis. it is very tense right now despite the fireworks and the celebration in tahrir square. there's a lot of concern about what happens next. the opposition groups not well organized so it's not to say the muslim brotherhood would not win another election but right now they're controlling the atmosphere in tahrir square calt morsi to leave but he is showing no sign of leaving. >> shepar

parliament. the muslim brotherhood once the unconditional reinstatement of deposed president mohamed morsi. leaders from the national salvation front say they were not confronted about the timetable for parliamentary elections. of the muslim brotherhood leader was ordered. >> the news just dropped a few minutes ago. we understand an arrest warrant thiseen issued for specific individual. nine others are also included in the arrest warrant, including key leaders from the muslim brotherhood and other islamic democracy.uding the the prosecutor general is accusing them of inciting the violence we saw outside of the republican guard were more than 50 supporters of the deposed president lost their lives. the muslim brotherhood has maintained their supporters came under attack i security forces while they were performing prayers. the military staunchly denies that, saying the muslim brotherhood supporters attempted to attack the headquarters of the republican guard because they think that president mohamed morsi is being held there and they used light fire and ammunition to target security forces.

but i have a feel that this military and the opposition are not going to allow the muslim brotherhood to win parliamenthis really was planned and well organized by the military with the help of the opposition here the last 72, maybe 5 or 6 days here in -- in cairo. there really is a sense that the military and the opposition got together to oust president morsi. it is possible they will allow the muslim brotherhood to come back. but the muslim brotherhood is very strong here in egypt. >> connor, something told us these fireworks will be shortlived. and please, be safe. all right. egypt is the largest of all the arab countries. the ouster of the first democratally elected president will affect the entire region. what is the united states' stake and what should president obam be doing? ambassador john bolton is here. it looks like 2011, when we saw protesters in the streets of cairo. hosni mubarak stepped down. are we just replacing mubarak with mubarak? what are we doing? >> well, you know, hosni mubarak called for the ouster of mohammed morsi, so you can bet mubarak's celebrating tonight, too. the fact

would get rid of the current constitution, dissolve parliament, hold elections in the next few days. this would severely hurt the muslim brotherhood which controls the president and parliament and wrote the constitution. the mood of the pro-morsi rallies have changed in the last few hours or so. they were less about support for mohammed morsi, more about defending islam to the death, the pro-muslim brotherhood groups are really casting this fight. there's a fight over the future of islam in egypt. as i said, shannon, this is really turning into a belief that the country is on the verge of sweeping political change, but what happens in the next 24 hours is very unclear. there are whispers of civil war, civil unrest, but no one knows yet what is going to happen. there's a lot to find out, shannon. >> and changes by the minute. we'll talk about it with the panel. conor powell, thank you. >>> now jennifer griffin with a look at america's position regarding egypt. >> reporter: as millions of egyptians fill tahrir square, u.s. officials are weighing their words very carefully. president obama spoke by telephone with egyptian president m

feels he doesave legitimacy and he did win thelection one ye ago and the muslim brotherhood won two-thirds of the egyptian parliament. so when you hear the military overturning the elections or constitution constitution, you can imagine whateaction that will produce in the muslim brotherhood and that is a prescription for much greater violence. lori: but the situation is devolving into much eater violence we're hearing of injuries with a growing discnect. i knew of the army does not want to step in but where do you see the siation unfolding? we in the ultimatum time frame. >> i think it is fundamentally directed not only at morsi but the opposition. by definition the military doesn't like people in the streets or disorder or instability because theore instability there is, as though lower the economy will sin they saw what happened when they took control there were demonstrators in the streets. this is very complicated. of the opposition and the military and muslim brotherhood is not of one mind either. lori: so president obama calling president morsi to dave refusing to take sides. what role should the u.s. play? >

think what we're seeing right now is a process where the muslim brotherhood, now the muslim brotherhood which controls the presidency and the parliament in egypt is actually showing signs of cracking down on the judicial branch and putting in judges who are amenable to the muslim brotherhood. again this looks very much like iran at a certain stage of the revolution there as clerics were extending their control over everything. but i think the difference with egypt is that egypt is 30 years later and we have the iranian, islamic republic of iran as an example of what fundamentalist state can look like. and it ain't necessarily so pretty, right? it is an economic basket case. very, very chaotic. very unstable. and so, even though the islamists right now are cementing their power over politics in egypt i wonder if they are going to go quite so far as the iranians have? i wonder if there isn't at least some extent to which that example deters them from absolute power. we'll see. right now it doesn't look very good. but of course a big difference is also that the people in charge in egypt now are not clerics. they are not members of a theo

whatever you say about it, the muslim brotherhood played by america's rules. they won the parliament fair and square. then with america's blessing, the egyptian military with american weapons overthrew the elected government of egypt. i mean, we have, america is reviled almost by both sides in this whole conflict. however, the military and the muslim brotherhood are the only two organizations that have the power and authority and ability to run egypt. the place is a mess. what the americans should do now, having done what we done is push as hard as we can for the early elections and consider an early exit. >> eleanor. >> egypt is key in keeping the peace with israel. for starters, israel being a key ally. and an important region in the world. we are not as dependent for oil, but we still need to be a major player there. and the phrase that i latched on to is people's cue. there were millions of people in the streets. more than 22 million people signed a petition wanting morsi out of power. that's more than a quarter of the country. the alternative to the military stepping in would ha

process not to go and military means what should the muslim brotherhood do now the interim government saying they'll be new elections a new parliament early next year morsi the muslim brotherhood saying not we do anything to do with it should they be more pragmatic though and get in on it while they still can. that's a tactical decision that at the end of the day it would be for them to judge based on their stew ation but all of this we have to look at is my parts bating in that process they would be this demise in this sort of goo i den of the day which is something that we've seen already western governments in america and europe we have lectured us for a long time about the merits of democracy also in her and the board so you can't judge a demise that is the muslim brotherhood and i think form of boycotting broker you might be the fact to control it but that would be done down the road in the realm of the day is because nobody can say conclusively there will be some kind of these that are meant to bring back the muslim brotherhoods back into kind of power in one ship or down another or another because the military doesn't want to

muslim brotherhood me to. morsi is still on our. turkish parliament was amended in law which allows the military to oversee internal political disputes on friday much slater's redefining the military's duties as towards outside threats only preventing them from intervening in domestic affairs and this is seen as an attitude falling germans on the government. is thought a fool to mechanism which switches rails may have caused a fatal train wreck outside of paris on friday six people were killed and dozens were injured when the train hit a crowded want fall and services are still suspended on the line officials. collision with another train was narrowly avoided by the driver who ran and the alarm within seconds of the accident. the death toll ranks latest suicide blast has risen to thirty eight with another two dozen injured in. five time explosion ripped through a cafe in the northern city of pure kurth as locals broke ramadan fast police have shut down a local car phase for the time being so they're unable to guarantee people security . british police

muslim brotherhood changing the constitution. if the muslim brotherhood wants a seat at the table and wants to be the president or part of the parliament, then they have to remain democratic and not try and force their own version of democracy, if you will, and shari allah down the people's throat. >> we are cycling through and we have help across egypt and this is a pro mohamed morsi, a pro morsi group that has gathered. there are more than 300,000 it is my understanding in cairo. there seems to be calm now. are there concerns there or anywhere that some of those who are -- those who were on the side of the president might turn this into something violent? >> i think there is always concern when you have this size of crowds and you have competing crowds. they are equally big from what we are hearing from our reporters on the ground. however, what i am hearing from the pentagon officials and other u.s. officials watching this closely is that they feel very confident that the egyptian military is relatively in control. remember that the u.s. has the egyptian military securing its embassy right now. the u.s. has not moved any marines int

democracy against a coup well the army continues its crackdown on muslim brotherhood leaders but what about the morsi is still. turkey's parliament is amended a law which allows the military to oversee internal political disputes on friday and i just need to find the military duties as towards. outside threats only preventing them from intervening in domestic affairs this is seen as an antique too strategy. and pretty. sort of faulty mechanism which switches rails may have caused a fatal train wreck outside of paris on friday six people were killed and dozens were injured when the train had a crowded platform and services are still suspended on the line officials say a collision with another train was narrowly avoided by the driver who rang in alarm within seconds of the accident. and also in a world update the death toll of iraq's latest suicide blast has risen to thirty eight with another two dozen injured it's night time explosions ripped through a cafe in the northern city of kirkuk because locals broke that ramadan fast police should shut down all local cafes for the time being saying they are unable to guarantee people's se

constitution because the current constitution which was overseen by the muslim brotherhood, that current constitution would be suspended. the parliament would be suspended and that this transition air ri interim government with the military oversight would write a new constitution and have new elections and then the military would step back. as aymen said earlier, these people are not celebrating because they want military intervention, they want the military, yes, to intervene, to remove muhammad morsi. then they want the military to step back and allow for a civilian government. that's why they are nervously not using the word coupe. they want the military as a powerful body to remove the muslim brotherhood and oversee the transition process. even among the celebrations there are people that are welcoming in the military and welcoming in the door they might not be able to close it. they could have another situation like they did with 30 years under mubarak and before him was sadat. >> thank you to nbc's richard engel and aymen moyheden. we'll have more after this. ctuay ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying act

muslim brotherhood members, that there are arrest warrants out for them. is that what you understand? >> yes. i can only confirm that the head of the party and the previous head of the elected egyptian parliament, as well as the leader of the muslim brotherhood. >> supporters of this action by the military say this is not a coup. they say this is the will of the egyptian people that has been demonstrated in the massive turnouts over the last several days throughout egypt. to you, what is this and what happens next >> i am afraid that is a pathetic excuse. everyone saw the images on tv. the military decided to side track the democratic process and decided to topple the democratically elected president. [ indiscernible ] one protester has been shot in the leg already. if that's not a coup, what is a coup? >> what happens now as far as you're concerned? what will you do now? what does the muslim brotherhood do now? >> well, we do what we do best, we stay on the streets and we stick to our principles. until the scene changes and if it doesn't, who knows? at the end of the day, we are committed. [ indiscernible ] people need to elect their leaders. they need to change the course of their country ac

muslim brotherhood. they took advantage of that and they have not been able to have the kind of parliament government where the minority has some say and they did a take over. they're paying for it. >> obviously morsi hasn't been a good representative of how egyptians should feel about women's equality. that is not the only reason he's being protested. he's been bad for economic opportunity in the country. he's had nothing but disdain for civil society. not just failure on his behalf to recognize women's rights but a failure across the board. >> he's trying to become a dictator. he -- the constitution, and tried to put one in that made him -- >> right. >> commander in chief and supreme leader. >> we make a mistake when we think that women's only interest in politics is women's issues. but a lot of these women who are protesting are seeing the broadband width of issues where he's a failure. >> but it's manifesting itself, if you listen to the woman we interviewed he is -- mors six creating these gangs of thugs who go out and try to -- assault women sexually as a tool, talk about race becoming a tool of war.

don't forget the muslim brotherhood and the party won two-thirds of the seats in parliament.ey are going to say, you people told us to play by western rules, to hold elections, we did. now you are taking it away from us. i think it will add to the muslim brotherhood's appeal: there were no good alternatives, given the way the islam sifts were proceeding, giving a lack of attractive options, the military moved before it might have been too late to move. >> eric: finally, do you see in the long range that this is a potential setback for the islamic cause as we have seen nations for the radical ideology? or can this embolden them in the future? >> i hope it's a setback. i think a lot depends on how the military behaves. what they are trying to do is say that everybody, including the muslim brotherhood this shparticipate in this interim political process, leading to new elections. the brotherhood's got to make the tough decision whether they agree with that or try for a political martyr dom to say we are the legitimate rulers. i think the brotherhood's top leadership is internall

at the moment, egypt does not have a parliament, the problem is, the opposition and the muslim brotherhoodnment are so far apart at this point it's very difficult to envision them coming together. we saw a statement from the presidency today saying they were not consulted prior to the issuing of this ultimatum. clearly there's a broad gap between the president and the military and let's not forget, it's really the military in egypt that is the biggest, strongest, most powerful institution here and when they tell the government, when they tell the politicians get your act together, they're serious. >> fascinating days, ben wedeman stay safe. let's get caught up on some of the other stories we're following tonight. >> we begin with breaking news. a statement tonight from nsa leaker edward snowden, and he's not backing down. he blasts the obama administration for trying to block his efforts to seek asiylm in another country, calling it a scare tactic and says he's unbowed in his nvictions. >>> the stock market kicked off the second half of the year on the up side. the dow jones rose and the n

muslim brotherhood was elected normally where not only they won the presidential elections with the help of course from other political affiliations but they also wanted parliamentary elections tend to forget. which were constant and the parliament was also noted and. egypt should have given the chance to the resignation towards more democratic future and carry out the process and for the muslim brotherhood to be kind of kicked out of office by distorting the democratic process not military means. or let's get back to our top story here on r t whistleblower edward snowden has reportedly invited prominent russian and international human rights activists lawyers for a conference today there was a blow in hiding is said to be chatty much of an airport here in moscow with a meeting is set to take place let's get details right now across over to our correspondent. for more of this developing story well awfully intriguing this is reno what can you tell us absolutely i personally can say that i've been waiting for this moment for almost two weeks now that's how long snowden has been in the transfer zone off the sheremetyevo airport remaining mom on the whole situation while the world was going completely insane over it and this is appa

muslim brotherhood as protests continued today across the arab world the world's most populous arab country reuters reported that the supreme council of the armed forces egypt's version of the joint chiefs of staff is considering dissolving parliament and installing an interim government if morsi and the muslim brotherhood did not reach an agreement with opposition groups by tomorrow if that happens the army would then oversee the writing of a new more secular constitution as well as new presidential elections in the near future after a year of the morsi presidency many egyptians are frustrated that the sixty year old former doctor has failed to live up to his promises and used his time in office to empower his buddies in the islamic. muslim brotherhood as opposed to the masses who elected him so now they're fighting back and it looks like the army is listening because the latest wave of protests organized by the group tamarod arabic for rebel as brought together people from all walks of life and from all across the political spectrum everyone from the old mubarak supporters to leftists to moderately religious working class egyptians are now growing in their opposition to the brotherhood and its figurehead in the president's office

parliament and for president. >> the question about the muslim brotherhood and the islamists is a really important one. dr. elbaradei told me this morning that he likened what many people call a coup to an impeachment process. the reality is that the egyptian military had to force out the government and the president was democratically elected. will you not as an opposition reform figure come to rue the day you had to rely upon the egyptian military to achieve this kind of change? >> i think it's important to look at the context. you have 20 million to 30 million people out on the street. the military has a choice between intervention and chaos. and they had to respond to that. as the president responded to the people. 20 million to 30 million people on the streets here is equivalent to 50 million to 60 million on capitol hill. your president would have responded to the people there in one political form or the other. there was no response. so i think the military acted in response to the people, not their initiative. they did oust the president, that's true. but then they handled over government immediate

members of the muslim brotherhood have plenty of seats in the parliament.esn't reflect the true egypt. isn't that what protesters say? >> what we're seeing here in egypt is a fight for the future identity of egypt. what is fascinating about this country is the diversity. you have egyptians who are liberal and moderate and egyptians that are devout muslims. all sides know after the resolution, whoever would be in power would lay down the foundation, possibly, of the future of post-resolution egypt. when the islamists took over the forces and the liberals and the moderates and even the supporters of the old regime didn't like it, that's why they started demonstrating. the future of egypt being an islamist nation, they don't like it and that's why they're fighting to push them out. >> reza, you'll continue to monitor the situation from cairo. we'll take a quick break. we'll be back with much more in "newsroom." how can i help you? oh, you're real? you know i'm real! at discover, we're always here to talk. good, 'cause i don't have time for machines. some compa

muslim brotherhood will take over. the brotherhood won narrowly. but other extremist groups won 3/4 of the seats in parliament. this dissatisfaction doesn't mean a more competent islamist government could not pursue these objectives. bill: he said he will not quit. he has had five ministers resign. his liaison with the military, he step aside. when the military made the announcement, cheers erupted in the streets of cairo. did the military say you need to listen to the protesters and if they say resign you should do that? >> i think this is important. i think people misread what the military said. certainly it's an ultimatum directed in part at morsi. but it's also directed at the opposition. the military doesn't like these demonstrations in the street. not only for the disorder it represents but it's another signal the egyptian economy is going to remain in the basement. how many tourists are going to egypt when these are the scenes you see. a young american was killed a few days ago. i don't think they want to take control of the country. that's not in their interests. they want the political leaders to reso
