the authorities hope presidential elections expected this year will stop the cycle of violence. >> thiss a prominent politician who will run in the 2012 presidential elections. a critic says they won't take part in the bowls. every egyptian might end up being arrested, house attacked or facing false accusations. for the army, top leaders are determined to move forward. the candidate is likely to win the elections if he chooses to run. we are back with us here at george town university in doha. >> it's been three years since the revolution, and you said we have to mark it as a revolutionary moment. when the games have been pulled back, if not reversed. how many of a revolution was it in the end? >> it wasn't a true revolution. there wasn't any reform to major area. all the main culprits behind the reasons people protested, the socio economic and reprotects that existed. they have gotten worse, if we look at the events of the last seven or eight months. this was a democratic process. it was a process which everyone at the time was happy with. other than a subdivision between army, state,

intelligence and a national counterterrorism center that the 9/11 commission recommended because of the presidential election of 2004. i think the conventional wisdom is a little bit wrong for the reasons i just state. i think that the looming presidential election in which the performance of george bush and whether he had made the country safer were undoubtedly incredibly powerful factors and influence to the likelihood of congress and the president to take on intelligence reform. but it's not the only factor. there was exhaustion with the cia and we had not one but two spectacular intelligence failures, really in the same to the three-year period. so what did the nine 9/11 commission recommend? what they recommended was a director of national intelligence, really a super empowered spymaster who would have the ability to come in an increasingly complex world of proliferators and stateless international terrorists, be able to come in the 9/11 commission's words, we needed a quarterback, someone very agile would be able to move dollars, people, and analysts to be able to organize quickly to meet with the dete

trying to confuse the situation they'll the presidential elections followed by parliamentary elections once the president is elected he is the president yes to the country according to the authorities stipulated for him as in the constitution but that the parliament will follow will follow immediately it will have the legislative power so the army has nothing to do with either post neither president nor the parliament unless the opposite one officer or more that have resigned in order to join the civilian life this is that within no more than six months from last january there will be a constitution a president a parliament and a government approved by there will be. parliament not only appointed by the president but has to be approved by by the parliament this is a full democratic operation and that's what we are looking forward to and i want you to know that and thank you for giving giving me the opportunity to explain that it is not a question of bellamy as some with the newspapers continue to say. i want you to say election election election mr musser i like to switch gears a littl

seven prison a seven year prison term now she may actually walk free and chances of winning the presidential election in two months and go walks free from prison and becomes a contender becomes the running candidate for the presidential election are very slim so essentially this is look this looks like young digging his own hole i mean . already we have information that many deputies from the ruling party have defected to the opposition this this may make things even worse for you on a call which with tymoshenko just called the join of arc of orange revolution she used to be the prime minister she nearly won the presidential election against you know in two thousand and nine and two thousand and ten excuse me but definitely right now with all the anger with all the frustration of maybe it's against their power against the president to push and call me back maybe back with far more power far more support than she used to have in twenty ten and alexei i can't help but to notice that you're outside versus yesterday when you were in the hotel kind of bunker down a little bit more what you say bad things

we'll gain the majority in the municipal elections, and the government won again by a ten-point margin. this is just two months ago. >> so a bigger margin than the presidentiallection. >> even a bigger margin than the presidential election. you have to look at the last 10-15 years and understand that poverty has been reduced by half, extreme poverty by 70%. it's considered the least unequal country in latin america. there have been bountiful gains for the entire population through economic growth but especially for the vast majority of the country that is poor, that was so excluded from previous governments that people are not just going to throw that away, it seems, because of some shortages and the inflation problems which obviously are real. they have elected him again. they have elected the government party again in the local elections, and now we're seeing a replay of the strategies that the opposition has used many times. unfortunately in the past when they resorted to to rebellion and provoking a crisis in the country, to provoke a violent response and get rid of the government. they did that in 2002. they tried to do it with the coup, the oil strike

industry trying to topple our government but like you've said your country has just come out of the presidential election like a little over a year ago president the doura won this election with a very small margin doesn't that really mean that your country divided and he has a real opposition. person among the one with a one point five percent difference it was a very special kind of election. because the people or as you know very sad very hurt by the loss of president chavez and we had a diminished participation of our people who were very again touched very felt hard feeling with what was happening emotionally to the country with the loss of president chavez but again no matter how big the margin if it was small or large we are in a democracy and a democratic country respects the will of the majority. after that after the election a first that i'm a little we had a second election this coming this summer and the forces of the chinese the movement of the fall of argument gave a very came out of it with a very wide majority again. so the venezuelan people have had the chance to express its will over an

our hearing today is on the presidential commission on election administration. report and recommendations on best practices in election administration. at the core of our national identity as americans is a pride that we live in a democracy and of course have the right to vote. the beautiful thing to me that on november nights in new york, cold november nights, citizens, tired, coming home from work, want to get home and put dinner on the table for the kids, just get home because they've had a hard day at work, put their feet up on the table and -- on the coffee table and watch their tv show but in quiet dignity they line up, go into the polling place, do their duty and the next morning we all abide by the decision. it's an amazing thing that doesn't happen in most countries still to this day and hasn't happened in any country for as long as it has happened in ours. it's a beautiful thing. in the 225-year journey since the first presidential election, many things have changed. more people are eligible to vote. as i look around the room here, only half of us would

a few weeks before the presidential elections a survivor of the aurora shooting released a video which went viral on the internet i was shocked and the next four years forty eight thousand americans won't be so lucky because they'll be murdered with guns in the next president's term enough to fill over two hundred theaters so when you watch the presidential debates ask yourself who has a plan the stock on the times let's demand a plan b. and. during the presidential campaign neither of the two candidates touched on the subject of guns and barack obama the elected president of the united states of america has no intention to revise the second amendment that america and its citizens hold so dear the most recent attempt by the obama administration to revise gun laws failed to pass a us congressional approval on able eighteenth two thousand and thirteen since then no new initiatives have been presented to the public. you know the united states has as many think tanks as the next ten countries combined yes one thousand eight hundred twenty eight takes to tell three hundred million people an

(cheers and applause) >> stephen: come on. come on! i mean 69, that is old. like old, old. way too old to be president. i mean she's going to be almost as old as ronald reagan was. but remember those were man years. men age gracefully like robert redford or a nice leather wallet. >> jim, jim, why did you put up two leather wallets, i don't-- okay, now plus, plus it just goes to the question of trust worthiness. during the benghazi hearings, she kept changing her story. first she said she was 65. next year she's 66. where does it stop? so obviously the developing story and what's that-- okay, i'm being told that mrs. clinton is now even older than when i began this report two minutes ago. i know it's rude to talk about a woman's age. but that's not what i am doing. i am talking about people talking about other people talking about other people talking about a woman's age. (laughter) that's called journalism. w

meanwhile, the first official day of campaigning for the presidential elections was overshadowed by violence. abdula was shocked and kills on saturday. so far several have been detained by police. they range from a former foreign minister too karzai's very only older brother. the candidates kick off two months of campaigning until the april 5th election. secretary of state john kerry says the u.s. and europe stand with the people in ukraine in their fight for democracy. protestors remain on the streets despite last week's resignation. al jazeera is now life in kiev and has been following the story from the very beginning. jennifer, kerry voiced his support for opposition leaders on saturday, but has it really got ton the point where he is considering intervention? >> you county me, you can probably hear the demonstrations going on behand me on a sunday night. and other leaders in munich, they did welcome moves that the european union are making as well. they say that they are going to be in strasburg next week, a commission form to look into human rights abuses here. >>'s no move of that rig

and then another point on the presidential elections that these will take place in december. now, there's some question mark about whether or not it will be left so long before there could be elections and would that be agreeable with these opposition protesters. now, all of this after the most appalling violence seen in ukraine, the worst since the independence of this country was obtained. any hope of a truce disintegrated with scenes like this. bullets raining in on protesters. their attempts at protecting themselves are futile. elsewhere security forces are seeing deploying and they have no hesitation in using live ammunition. snipers are being used as well. it all started with riot police retreating. they say they were coming under fire. the protesters seemed not determined not to lose ground. here a hotel lobby is inundated with people. medics doing what they can. a number have died, in critical condition. a priest is on hand giving blessings. outside on the square, the protest movement seems like a war machine. bags stuffed with rocks and bricks. again the square is a

election in u.s. history, he wrote the book on election coverage title "the control room: how television calls the shots in presidentialns." and just days after the networks made their infamously wrong calls for florida in the 2000 election, he joined pollsters on c-span to talk about the mistake. and in his magnanimous way, he criticized the electoral college system and simplified the argument over who really won that election. >> i disagree with almost all of this. it's clearly wrong, as the man getting the most votes not becoming president would be. when something like that happ s happens, people resakai. they feel strongly about it. and the issue here is not whether it will be easier or harder to count the votes. i mean, that is really a secondary matter. and, i mean, the question is, when you count the votes in a matter that will be judged fairly, who's going to get to be president? it's already clear that no matter how you count the votes nationally, gore will have the most. >> he was the political junkie's junkie. everybody wanted to reach for him. when i first got the job, marty reached out to me, simply to wis

the way for army chief to run for president in those elections. the interim government sworn in after the out of thing of mohamed morsi in july. it was to lead the country until presidential elections, which aren't due to be held by mid april. the defense minister and army leader is widely expected to win the presidential poll if he stands, but now sisi has oh resign before he can be a candidate. let's get more news on monitoring developments here. i mentioned al-sisi. is there a bigger picture? >> there's been strikes, a bubbling amount of civil unrest on the streets, so we've seen people working factories now in the delta area, as well as pharmacists, doctors, garbage collectors going on strike, very unhappy with their pay and with conditions. generally with the economic situation in egypt. this cabinet resignation may will be all to do with sisi but could be to try to put a lead on the uprest on the streets to show people they are doing something, listening to people's problems and will come back with something better until parliamentary elections. >> while we wait to get the makeup of the new government, there will be speculation about who is going to be interior mini

the opposition is that the president was scheduled to have the country scheduled to have the presidential elections in march of 2015, and this is going to be moving it it up two to three months if he has the presidential elections by the end of the year. it is not enough time, and it will give him the full term if you will to scheduled to spend in office, and there are rumblingings in the opposition that this deal may not hold for a long time, and bring the kind of peace and stability that many people are calling for. >> right. indeed, earlier, there was a fragile truce in place, and that was not signed, but it fell apart. and we will watch this one carefully. than you, amon from london. >>> and here at home president obama is doubling down on the push to past overtures of the republicans, and will spend billions on white house prior tis like income equality. it also will have new spending in job training, and early education, and manufacturing hubs, and he would do it by closing the tax loopholes and mandatory spending reform. it also bans a republican-supported flow of social security by changing
