in egyptian history where sisi is basically ruling the country. in the most repressive matts of manners so much so that now we have $70000.00. political prisoners in the country and most of the very relative small freedoms that where under hosni mubarak no longer are to be seen under this dictatorship how much of the turmoil that we have fame in egypt since mubarak is down to his time in power would you say. well actually you know in comparison to other dictators say qaddafi or bashar and how to set aside his father mubarak was far more mild because egypt as a political system was an authoritative one that left much freedom in terms of social economic interaction for the society for the egyptians while in libya or syria or even iraq and other places. that the toilet 30 and regime was so severe that it lifted very little room in anything even intertainment culture and you cation and even within this very specific contrast mubarak was also different from say sadat or order ocean out of the not so subtle not the not so thought of themselves as histor

that the army i didn't say sisi because i think it would be very difficult for someone like sisi to reconsiderthis issue i am talking mainly about the army and believe this of the army and let's let's look back at. the situation during the team year of. course that came from the ranks of the army but he always detached the army from the rule of egypt he always kept that. civilian 1st saw of the presidency in egypt and i guess this is the 1st step that should be taken otherwise as we have seen you know from mubarak to c.c. that devotion because you know keeping up this system is is is only going to lead to the pollution devolution after devolution now we've devoted to this what we have now which is almost the direct rule military rule so i think it has to be reconsidered for the interest of both the people and the military great scary thought thank you so much and then there's middle east analysts and i malaysia's interim prime minister mahathir mohamad says you return as leader if he has and of support in parliament well 2 days ago he resigned suddenly and his party quits the governing coaliti

you know not so many people know of the fact that when egypt not egypt when sisi and his establishment gave up the 2 islands of. iran some appear it was not actually of their own doing it all it all started back in 1991 when when hosni mubarak under the president of both the united states saudi arabia and israel signed a presidential decree that sits that sit a baseline in baselines for the egypt's. exclusive economic zones that actually depicted both islands from the egyptian sovereignty so and it took 20 years more than 20 years according to the international law. for saudi arabia to put this this egyptian presidential decree into force and to take over the 2 islands so a lot of what we call political catastrophes that happened you know time wise on the c.c. started by hosni mubarak and during his time ok here's the thing did he do at any point during his tenure that thing that leaders in the region tend to do 5 or 10 years before they're toppled for example did he wrap himself in the flag and kind of pitch him self as being this plan arab nationalist or was he something different ab

egypt has been holding a military funeral print presided over by president of the fattah el-sisi for former president hosni mubarak he died on tuesday at the age of 91 who barks coffin was escorted to a mosque and then to the burial ground for a private family ceremony goold egypt autocratically for 30 years before being ousted in the arab spring protests of 2011 was a key ally of the west which saw him as a guarantor of regional stability but to many he was a tyrant and he still divides opinion in egypt. more for him and that he'd better get them to know it's sad news you know and he must have a proud funeral. about it because he did such a lot for egypt. it's enough that he returned sinai to us in a fever leaves you could say we also have some bad memories including the privatization of public companies the illnesses that spread during his time in the rampant corruption unfortunately these are the memories as affected his tenure. we can get more on the funeral now from correspondent ruth michelson she joins us on the line from cairo hi ruth apart from the funeral with full military

that is correct i mean there are many who say that sisi is simply finishing what started it we see in minutest how i get into the security services to the police force and you know by all accounts you human rights observers this is the most brutal military dictatorship that egypt has ever know even the mubarak and so that is a player you do see some people looking back through our time in power with the kind of missed out correspondent michael sam joining us from cairo on this news as we mentioned we have has new mubarak dead at the age of 91 thank you so much for your insight. to other news now the world health organization has warned that more must be done to prepare for a potential corona virus pandemic more than 80000 people have now been infected worldwide most of them in china south korea has the 2nd highest number of cases at close to 1000 president. says that the situation there is very grave several countries have imposed travel restrictions in a bid to contain the virus the main hotspots outside of china are to can iran and italy. and its hellion health officials say that th

saying he's getting a military funeral is it's when it comes to how egypt sees itself today with mr sisi in charge is it in effect a state funeral. essentially it will be i mean they will put out all the stops for hosni mubarak most likely because ultimately hosni mubarak didn't just represent himself he represents the military institution the military institution which has been controlling and governing egypt since $1052.00 there is one of the famous sayings the egyptians have about egypt is that egypt isn't a country with a military it's a military with a country because the army in egypt use itself essentially as owning the country and responsible for the entire country and that's why the military didn't allow for mubarak to be tried the same way for example his successor morsi was tried didn't allow for him to be treated in any way that they saw was degrading because any thing that was degrading to mubarak would be degrading to the army so when they will do the funeral today it will be done in a way that reflects what they perceive to be the prestige of the army the authority of the

today and sisi is even worse what leads us to believe that going down that same path will not in fact lead to the same outcome in right now one of the things that i have learned about global affairs and i come at this from a realist tradition actually but i understand why these important transnational issues like human rights what happens with refugees what happens with system of justice really matter my form of realism was apparently a lot more progressive than i and i had anticipated now you see world affairs but i guess the question is when he sees things like the coronavirus today spread around the world these are sort of dark day issues where nations sometimes say you know i wish i hadn't kicked germany in the teeth or canada in the teeth when you kind of begin looking at whether or not there is a reservoir of goodwill today among countries when big transnational challenges come out so we've got refugees we've got coronaviruses and pandemics in general and i'm interested in how you see a way. forward or whether we find ourselves just living in an ad hoc world where sometimes we w

whether it's president sisi in egypt whether it's mohamed bin sandman in saudi arabia and many others who have always had pressure from the u.s. to be more democratic to preserve human rights to try to instill a rule of law but where trump has done has given them the green light and said it's ok if you jail your people kill your people. no you do what you did with the man in the turkish in the saudi embassy in turkey and you and you slice people up which is the most barbaric of all acts and so a trump is saying is you and i are the same i will protect your authoritarian practices and at the same time he is engaging in a very slow and dangerous erosion of u.s. constitutional law and u.s. . traditions and so the real test is going to be the elections in november and it's also going to be i think failure for the rebel comporting because as we saw now with the house elections the house switched from being democrats really from being republican to democrat as a result of the 1st 2 years of trial and i think the senate may switch and if the senate doesn't switch i think trump has a very ser

the kind of look we see under the president of the fattah el-sisi there are others that will also remember who are out to challenge he and say that he set the template for the kind of political repression that we're currently seeing now but for others he was also a symbol of egyptian great things he was an international statesman who maintained egyptian time. with the united states with international callus and maintained egypt status and reached your house. you know as we've heard rick highlight there he was certainly a significant political figure for the country just walk us through why i mean this is a man who ruled egypt for around 3 decades i mean up until his removal and 2011 there was a whole generation of egyptians myself included who had never had a different president had never experienced an egypt that was not ruled. by mubarak but he you know he was also someone who you know was it was a figure of stability to the west under his rule u.s. aid to egypt reached you know the highest of records about one point $3000000000.00 u.s. dollars per year he was also seen as the most impor

hosni mubarak's authoritarian approach remains especially under the leadership of abdul fattah el-sisi. we you could in many ways say that these 2 leaders are 2 sides of the same hole you couldn't have a leadership. without mubarak. created or in. large parts of what's known as the deep state secret services that state that in large part designed to spy on their own citizens and these are the parts of the state system that continue in cracking down on civilians insoles. disappearances torture in custody and creating a dire situation for human rights. in reason a when mubarak was ousted that he had been president so long he was the only president that a majority of egyptians at the time knew so what do you think is going to be his legacy. and it seems clear that part of his legacy will be reinforcing. the aspects of the state that helped crack down on an egyptian state and be the living memory that many people will will have that their time living under him for 30 years but he said this is a leader who will be remembered for his overthrow in how he left office just as much as his 13 yea

are 2 options the same cult there are many egyptians that see a lot of continuation in the rule of sisi from the time of mubarak but the state institutions like secret services parts of the state while they're at the designed to spy on the egyptian populace of stronger than ever these are the parts that most egyptians experience in their everyday lives and so so many will barge will in some ways never ended. all right correspondent ruth michelson speaking to us on the phone there from cairo thank you so much for joining us. now indian prime minister narendra modi is appealing for calm after 3 days of sectarian riots that have rocked the capital delhi authorities have deployed riot police and paramilitary forces to areas where violence erupted during demonstrations for and against a new citizenship law at least 20 people have lost their lives critics say the legislation that was introduced by these hindu nationalist government is biased against muslims and undermines the country's secular constitution. for more on the story we can bring indeed abuse many to childish he joins us from delh

a he kept the peace with israel and that is i think the very good thing that he did and president sisi is continuing that things started to unravel 123 and. i suppose some people would say that towards the latter years things started to unravel maybe got more and more authoritarian. and of course there are these allegations back in 2011. of his alleged involvement in the killing of nearly $900.00 protesters ok was acquitted of that in the end but did that slightly tarnish the endgame for him. in a way specially among the evolution is but today lucian is very unpopular in egypt there is now a strong cult of evolution hating the whole area and so people when they speak about the evolution they are not happy with it if you compare egypt and other countries libya iraq all the people there of lamenting what happened and the longed for the old rulers in iraq we still think the last of solve them was always iraq today when saddam was how was libya get their feet was was what was what was the situation and today because of nato intervention because they wanted to bring democracy actually they

and the rest of the world i guess over the intervening few years has adapted to the idea that mr el-sisi is in charge of egypt as we speak right now but when we talk about hosni mubarak i mean his legacy is a multi multi faceted concept it's not easy to sum up what his legacy would be if only because he was there for so very long. for sure i mean if you look at the different massive incidents that took place or whether it was the one to 90 s gulf war or whether it was him taking office right after the assassination of the former president anwar sadat's where there was a building. that's 3 trips and. striking that balance between iran and one side and then size your baby and other countries on the other heard so many different. instances where mubarak molded for himself and for his weakened of what's egypt's policy should be the region. role but as you mentioned the comparison between him and she's you obviously will look at but there is a complete difference and not even domestically speaking. rather mubarak will one of. designating specific roles to. the security services had its power

run not to do any good for egypt whatsoever we have heard from the current president abdullah to how sisi he said that mubarak was a military leader and a war hero and 3 days of mourning has been declared in the country. corresponding gosh looking back at those pictures it was a relatively long time ago the arab spring but it seems like yesterday doesn't it thank you for the update and tell us what your experience is there in egypt well it's not talked at all darwish political editor of the middle east magazine thanks for coming on what would you how would you evaluate mubarak's legacy here both inside egypt and of course internationally as well it seem to be a rather mixed bag towards the end it's a mixed bag the positive. with him several times and there was a good really good sense of humor and british pounds and his wife is welsh so people are so. well you know i well actually when i interviewed them i had my panama hat that you know i have. i would love to see it fall down. meaning it's yours. it is too big crater face i didn't tell our viewers before you carry on or do i didn't tell

those last days of the revolution or even those who took to the streets in support of other fatah sisi afterwards they were there was that generational divide and it was evidence and manifested throughout that they are people who. came to see on the heels of the last war with israel and therefore viewed him in the prism of a military general and through the nationalist kind of media that the propaganda that was controlled by the states portrayed him through but the younger generation was born into an ever impoverished egypt one with high levels of unemployment one with a police force and the security services that's allowed for almost 0 expression or . free speech and therefore if you want mubarak as the symbol of an oath or a tarion states which provided for them little if any future whatsoever and that's why they exploded in 2011 and took to the streets the month. he was removed jamal thank you very much. malaysia's interim prime minister mahathir mohamad says he'll return as leader if he has enough support in parliament 2 days ago he resigned suddenly and his party quit the governin

elected president was overthrown in a coup by former army chief and today's president, abdel fattah el-sisi. mubarak outlived the revolution that overthrew him, but was only seen in court. and while he was humbled, to the end he was defiant. he rose to power in the air force and became vice president to anwar sadat, taking over after sadat's 1981 assassination. he was initially considered a charismatic reformer, and fashioned himself the only guarantor of egypt's and the middle east's stability, as he told newshour host charlayne hunter-gault in 1993. >> the stability of this part of the world cannot bmaintained without egypt. i don't think that it will be in the interest of the west or the united states that egypte unstable. >> schifrin: but mubarak's stability was autocracy. he jailed political opponents without trial, and his police committed widespread torture. poverty increased, and the availability of bread plummeted. and when that deprivation combined with corruption to spark the 2011 protests, his security forces killed hundreds of demonstrators. in 2012, mubarak defended himself fr

and they will recognize him they were recognize his role over libya in the same way they recognized sisi in egypt so raj is has his back to the wall so large once they put it. he wants have to push back and the reason he's not accepting the demilitarization of the militias in tripoli is because he knows best essentially made in the coffin essentially removing his armor removing his weapon to allow him to be wide open for a half to result. in that conflict in libya is high on the agenda for leaders at the african union summit in ethiopia they're discussing whether african countries should have more of a role in trying to bring a ceasefire is mohamad vaal from addis ababa. even before the summit has officially opened heads of state impact on the question of libya during a meeting of the african union peace and security council on saturday evening. in response to a question by our dizzier about the possibility of the creation of an african force for peace in libya congolese president. who chairs the african union high level committee on libya said the idea is being discussed. we are waiting

commitment and we will continue to walk this joint path i wish to send condolences to president al sisi the mubarak family and all the egyptian people. takes a look back now the revolution that ended hosting a barak's reign. personally mubarak's death comes almost 9 years to the day since he was forced out of office by an historic uprising for 18 straight days gyptian is from all walks of life on the streets demanding the resignation of the man who practically for 30 years the 2011 uprising had begun on january 25th at the at the mubarak government had said it catered to celebrate egypt's police forces but for millions of egyptians there was nothing to celebrate. here at security apparatus says knocked up political prisoners tortured detainees and into . several cases he killed them i will box response to these protests was to crackdown on the demonstrators police snipers trained their weapons on the pound. and then this. flags riding camels charged towards the protesters several 100 people were killed in suez and xandra and destroyed to become iconic tahir square i thought i but the pe

and they will recognize him they were recognize his role over libya in the same way that recognized sisi in egypt said raj is has his back to the wall so large once they put it that he wants have to push back and the reason he's not accepting the demilitarization of the militias in tripoli is because he knows best ascension made in the coffin essentially removing his armor removing his weapon to allow him to be wide open for half the result so the tipping point is to remove the prospect of a military victory from have that because he believes it is on the curing what we are getting a little bit of drop out on the audio on your skype signal but we are going to continue for the moment so bear with us if i understand avoid what you're saying is go if i understand what you're saying correctly then the the pressure should really be directed towards the countries the external countries which are supporting hafter to try to persuade them to remove that support and therefore take his confidence in a military solution away what kind of pressure could be put on those countries. i think it's very d

because let's not forget 5 years not as familiar with the regional politics the current president el-sisi he was a former military man himself is the military sensually the defining force energy policy it's kind of goes without saying it goes without saying and you know talking about the few credits that could be given to the former president mubarak is the fact that he manage over 3 decades to put a distance between the army and the group ruling egypt. instead of what's happened since 2013 now we're seeing a different kind of group which is almost a direct quote of direct military rule of the country so this is one of the few things that should be given to hosni mubarak against all the bad things in the mistakes and evils he made. well i mean one of the things that he made them i think one of the. fundamental mistakes he made. you know intentionally or unintentionally is the fact that he confused ability with stagnation he was always talking about stability while in the meantime it was actually stagnating the whole country economically and politically. the fact also that he managed to in

our focus was trying to get onside and get one proposal with the el-sisi in the fbi see. now we see ourselves as waiting to learn more from that process. for the >> for those of the communities in of color, this is important. i know the federal show leadership in this regard, and make sure the community participation continues to be a hallmark of what the cra is all about. >> thank. you that concludes the questions, i'll come back ask one quick question. you've been asked a lot mister chairman today about wages. i want to ask and verify this with you that i am familiar with. understanding the wage growth is three or 4%. that make 18 straight medals, that the wager it was above 3%? the wage growth rate? >> i have to check that. it certainly takes you back, you know looking at each month gradually at over the past its 3.1% higher. that shakes out of sounds fine. >> back-check that and let me know. that does include the questioning, for the senators who wish to submit questions to the committee that's has to be done by february 19th. chairman powell once in her response to t

. >> yeah, look at the people around the world that he seems to admire, sisi in egypt, erdogan in turkeyussia, xi in china. these are all people who are authoritarian. not just seems to admire them but sometimes seems to express envy for them, that they have powers unfettered by a free press, unfettered by courts that are independent that he doesn't seem to have. this isn't just post-impeachment, this has been a trait of donald trump's right from the beginning, right in the beginning of his presidency he talked about how he wanted to be more involved in the fbi, how he wanted to be more involved in the justice department but was holding himself back as if that was some concession that he was making. the problem that we have learned recently is that democracy is partly laws, but it's also partly norms and traditions and a president not getting involved in judicial cases is a tradition. it's not a law. it's not written down there that he can't do that. i think that's the -- that is the weakness of the system that is being shown up. it works if you have a president who accepts the norms and
