development? it's clear there is movement. the people in that part of the world are inspired and that already some of the leaders in that part of the world have made changes, have pledged not to stand for re-election. so the egypt/tunisia effect is being felt. >> and turning back to egypt, christiane, this is your area of expertise. we want to ask you, what are the three signs you're going to be focused on in the coming months in the current events. i think one of them will be watching for the lifting of the emergency law. >> yeah, precisely. lifting emergency law was one of the very early demands of the protesters and, indeed, of the united states and others who are watching this development, and that's going to be a key question as we watch this new military regime now in control. when will they do that? that will send a clear signal about their plans for democracy. >> and also new elections and a constitution. a big question of when those will be implemented. >> precisely. what we're looking for also is whether there will be a clear road map for rewriting or a

the movement of knowledge so it is a very strong battle happening here and in other places in the world to try and protect that they versity of knowledge that diversity of culture. the latest development in this battle has been the arrival here on this campus of b.p. british petroleum. who would like to be called beyond petroleum b.p. came here offering five hundred million dollars five hundred million dollars which is much more than anybody had ever offered the university supposedly for research. administrators for the university find it very difficult to say no to money and doesn't matter where the money comes from they want the money so they tried to pass these contract with b.p. without people noticing but we have been able to find out a few things about it we know that b.p. wants new buildings in the canyon they want buildings that are built behind the fences of the national lab so that nobody can access them they want access to our students they want access to our seminar so that they can find out which i.d.'s are useful for them they want to have control over publication what gets published what gets said publicly or not but more importantly they also want access to the curricu

world we're watching closely as the events in egypt develop. at the social media strategy summit in san francisco today, entrepreneurs and analysts talk about the movement now before president mubarak's speech this afternoon, facebook users some of them posted a count down clock marking time till his exit after he said he would stay in power until september. twitter filled with twitts and anger. >> we will continue to follow the quickly unfolding events in egypt both here on the air and online, our web address is ktvu.com. >>> we have breaking news out of san francisco at this hour. a protest we told you about just a few minutes ago. news chopper 2 is over the hyatt regency at the embarcadero. when we first showed you these pictures a few moments ago, you could not see any of the protesters: now a big group of people have mobilized. police have arrested 23 of those protesters who had been sitting right in front of the front doors of the hotel. all of this is going on right next to the california street cable car turn around at the foot of market. and it is possible it could impact the evening commute. we do have a crew on the scene and we'll have late d

that recent developments in the arab world are a sign of the decline of the american empire now how do you come to that conclusion when many are saying this is the start of a democratic movement throughout the region. start of a democratic. united. democratic. iraq. or ordinary and wired. for example when we see what's happening in libya there's been no opposition able to form what for more than forty years how could you possibly have a democratic government replace gadhafi so soon is that is that really possible. i don't think so i think we'll be. going to be a lot. more. once. you know when. you know you don't want to go. i wonder if they're going to shoot. you know. so i think it's going to be now i think anybody if anyone knows. therefore if it's going to be chaos should know the e.u. the u.s. joined together not provide aid and that's what they're talking about financial aid at the moment but military assistance after all assistance many libyans are crying for help they're saying their lives are at risk and we've seen that they are indeed at risk so should that be military intervention. i don't think. i'm not. intervening so we. i mean i guess if you look at iraq. probab

the fact that the interrelationships that have developed among these movements with similar objectives meant that the arab world was a wealthy nation of poor people. how to restructure or understand -- how do we structure or understand the dynamics of these revolutionary developments? i say revolutionary developments because they have not been -- they have not fulfilled the revolution itself. they have constituted a breakthrough and empowering political atmosphere, a removal of those who obstructed the path of revolution. revolution in this context cannot be perpetual. rick the revolution is the blockage -- the revolution is the blockage to the air. when the evil legionary process evolutionary process is coming through, there is a denial of human rights and human needs through the power of governmnance, route was most of the time, then revolution becomes the instrument of restoring historic evolution to its normal course. if we understand this to mean what took place in the arab world than we can come to grips with an easier understanding about why the united states in particular have always identified stabilit
