paul brennan is live from moscow. it's the first foreign visit for abdul fatah al-sisi. quite significant. >> i think it is hugely significant, not just because it's his first foreign visit, but because of the country that he's chosen to come to, and that is rush ape. remember, the united states has turned its back, effectively on egypt in relation to military assistance, suspending 1.5 billion of aid, and frankly the hope was that that would, you know, turn egypt closer to democracy or america's form of democracy. that has not happened. the united states created a vacuum, russia stepped in, it seems that the russians are happy to do a deal with the existing egyptian leadership, and are forging close links. last november the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov, and his defence minister went to the cairo. this visit is the reciprocal, the return event with the field marshal and his foreign minister. the expectation was, as you say, for big deal, $2 billion of arm. it hasn't been confirmed. but the foreign minister sergei lavrov was warm about when he was speaking about

paul brennan was there. >> freedom, freedom, they chanted waving their flags and holding their placards high. interior ministry officially put the crowd numbers at just 2,000, but the evidence of our own eyes showed that to be a considerable underestimate. it's nearly two years since the notorious square demonstration, the time has not dimmed the sense of injustice here. >> i think we are losing our justice. day by day, actually minute by minute. it seems that if we do not do anything, it's not going to save us, and nothing is going to happen in this country just going to go down. and it's honestly terribly embarrassing. >> what happened in may 2012 remains disputed. as a demonstration on the've of the third inauguration, 27 people were arrested for alleged mass rioting. but opposition groups maintained the police cliffed the provoked confrontation. and that the prosecutions have been politically motivated. there was a massive police presence and tight security, but this time, no hint of prove cakes. the crowds carries with his own photograph on it, have found own if ooriginal 27. the g

let's speak to paul brennan, joining us live from sochi. the u.s. issuing security warnings. >> yes, in the last 24 hours i - it's difficult to know whether it's a new alert or a timely reminder of an old alert. for airports and some airlines, to watch out for toothpaste tubes, which may con tain ingredients which could be mixed to obtain explosive devices. the nature of the warning is that it might have happened on flights into russia. not strictly internal flights. it's curious timing. the opening ceremony to the games is tomorrow. the other thing is that, you know, the department for homeland security clarified by saying it was a routine communication. the national security council has not altered travel advice in the wake of this apparently new warning. so i think the context we have to put on if is a timely reminder of existing warnings. security is tight, and anyone arriving into moscow and taking a flight to sochi, cannot carry gels, liquids or gels, it has to go into the hold. there's security, tight security on planes within russia, the hom

essential questions, are people like rand paul of kentucky, who on many issues sounds like a raving lunatic, but on this issue, when he filibuster the nomination of the brennan, who was drone's are of the administration's first term, he read into the congressional record human rights report, media reports about civilians killed. it was the first time there was discussion on the floor of the u.s. senate of american citizens potentially being targeted for assassination. polls indicate that a solid percentage of self identified liberal democrats support the white house on this and that is in part due to president obama rejecting -- and it comes down to propaganda -- and this is somehow a cleaner way to wage war. democratsically, many would be opposing these policies or raising serious questions if their guy was not in the white house. if mccain or mitt romney had won the elections, we would see a more robust discussion. president obama said in his major address and then his administration release papers, that among the standards is not just the mere certainty that civilians will not be killed, but also that the individuals they are targeting represent an immine
