Democracy movement is freed from prison and adds his voice to the calls for leading carry lamb to. Egypts 1st democratically elected president Mohamed Morsi has died during a Court Session in cairo the Public Prosecutor said he collapsed in the defendants cage shortly after addressing the court the 67 year old Muslim Brotherhood leader had been in prison since 2013 when he was ousted after less than a year in power the secretary general of the Muslim Brotherhood has told aljazeera he fears Security Forces will bury morsi and cairo late at night denying him a proper funeral. The sect on the head of the real me home has even less of a problem this is a sad day not only for the muslim brothers but also for the egyptian people what was lucky of them for his family was shot and for arabs and muslims and especially for the Palestinian People of course who witnessed how morsy stood with them in the war most of all theres no doubt the history will remember that this as a day morsi was martyred or sect after he was killed by the military could you know that there is a very challenging looks back now at the rise and fall of man that morsi. Mohamed morsi sailed into the presidency of egypt on the wins of a peoples revolution demanding change in 2012 he became egypts 1st ever democratically elected president the 1st civilian to hold the office morsi was born in 1901 he spent his adult life 1st as an engineering professor then as a member of parliament and a political prisoner the egyptian revolution in 2011 set the stage for morsi to reach the political. From the start of his critics accused him of placing his allegiance with the Muslim Brotherhood and not the country morsi made a point of repeatedly promising to be a president for all egyptians his opponents however claim he tried to consolidate his power by giving himself or thorazine above the judiciary and dominating the governments with Muslim Brotherhood members. Morsi said his actions were to combat counter revolutionary forces led by the socalled deep state that wanted to kill egypts nascent democracy those forces included members of the military as well as regional powers namely the u. A. E. And saudi arabia who were vehemently opposed to the arab spring in june 2030 in scenes reminiscent of the revolution huge crowds of egyptians filled square calling for their president to step down it was a culmination of the town roots or Rebel Campaign a movement which was born a few months prior and was later revealed to have been supported by abu dhabi morsi supporters took to the streets to which emboldened him and he refused to step down instead he made an offer of National Reconciliation including forming a new government of technocrats that offer was rejected by the army which days later deposed him ending egypts historic but brief experiment with democracy stripped of the title of president morsi swiftly became a political prisoner once again he was ultimately tried and sentenced to death for allegedly working with Foreign Armed groups and crossing a mass jailbreak when guards or killed. Numerous human Rights Groups as well as british parliamentarians and his family complained of intentional medical neglect and warns that morsi is imprisonment conditions would lead to his death if not improved to the end morsi was defiant rejecting the courts or thorough and insisting he was the legitimate president of egypt elected by the people. Joining me now is al jazeera senior political analyst marihuana Sharon Marwan how is 100. 00 morsi likely to be a man that not just inside egypt itself but across the region certainly inside egypt he will be remembered as a controversial figure and yet as the 1st democratically elected leader for sure in a sense that this was a short one year. Tenure for him one that was. Full of pressures both from the deep state the military on the one side and from the masses that had the High Expectations of what the revolution or the new government should bring in the end of the day Mohamed Morsi alienated a good number of people on his left and whos right and they coalesce together against him in 2013 so in a way you could say that he tried or he could within within the country but certainly the tide was was was for sure a stronger than he was really i think it was much easier for an egyptian statesman to maneuver and to really and express a new Foreign Policy and i think he succeeded in doing that he was the moderate statement in who knew he was under immense scrutiny by the west and by everyone else and yet he was able in the 1st few weeks to bridge with the riyadh and to have ron at the same time something was almost unthinkable nowadays he was also able to bridge with israel and with palestine he was able to be able to of a very strong vocal of purchasing a rights while the same time underlining egyptian commitment to the camp david accords with israel he was also along with the United States was able to mediate the war in gaza. He was also a very vocal voice of the arab spring connecting north africa with the east and certainly very critical of bashar assad in syria and yet despite all of that the the Muslim Brotherhood has been sufis suffered tremendously in the last 5 years hasnt it always seemed that morsi was forced from power in a bloody coup the Muslim Brotherhood then underwent an extensive crackdown in egypt but really across the region we have seen this deepening opposition to this perceived threat of political islam in the form of the Muslim Brotherhood particularly on the part of of a certain gulf monarchies can this Movement Ever regain momentum in light of syria as a student of middle eastern politics i would tell you that the Muslim Brotherhood has had its share of repression throughout the years this was not the 1st time that the its leaders would be imprisoned its not the 1st time its trees its its leaders would be even killed in prison this happened before. And it was able to reemerge once again i think there is will always be a certain place for islamist and islamist voices within the arab world within the muslim world and and and the egyptian Muslim Brotherhood has always been central to the movement of of political islam in the region now certainly as you said this has been a very dramatic few years for the Muslim Brotherhood and today several tens of thousands of its adherents as well as others of course are in the new gyptian prisons and if anything today the question should be asked by those who cared about egypt and about the future of egypt if Mohamed Morsi the former elected president would die this way after 6 years of torture prison sentence what about those tens of thousands of other egyptian prisoners i think now the focus should be in the immediate term about what to do with the repression what to do a by the oppression and about all these Political Prisoners in egyptian jails it does raise some very important questions doesnt it thank you moron bashar thank you. Well turning to other stories that were covering this hour iran is turning up the pressure over the unraveling of the 25th the nuclear deal saying it will break its uranium stockpile limit in the next 10 days under the agreement the stockpile can exceed 300 kilograms of low enriched uranium but iran announced last month it would quadruple its production putting it on course to surpass the limit by june 27th the deal also stops the country from enriching its uranium beyond 3. 6 percent but the Iranian Atomic Agency now says it could boost purity to 20 percent which is just a step away from weapons grade levels the deal with world powers in 2015 was meant to stop Iran Acquiring Nuclear Weapons in return for lifting sanctions and breathing life into the economy but that has been steadily stripped away since the u. S. Pulled out last may well inching new sanctions and sending iran into economic freefall well irans president Hassan Rouhani now says time is running out to save the deal and europe needs to come up with a solution dosage of bari reports from teheran a theatrical build up for a final warning to the european signatories of the 2015 Nuclear Agreement the message delivered by the spokesman for irans Atomic Energy agency that time is running out. The countdown has started in 10 days time on june 27 we will exceed the 300 kilogram limit of enrich uranium allowed under the nuclear deal after thats we will continue to increase the speed of production drastically. And theres a Nuclear Deal Iran is allowed to have 300 kilograms of 3. 67 percent enriched uranium at any given time inside the country. Anything in excess of that amount must be sold internationally but since the United States withdrew from the deal a may of last year it has also introduced restrictions on purchasing any material from Irans Nuclear program which means iran stockpile will continue to increase. Early last month president Hassan Rouhani announced tehran will stop exporting its excess uranium and heavy water for a 60 day period during which time it wants the remaining signatories of the deal to honor their obligations as they announce are not going to break the agreement so there are going to go as far as possible to the threshold because when they break the agreement they will lose european support and for now this is not the iranian strategy to completely go for a clear violation and break of the agreement a number of high ranking foreign officials have been visiting to iran in an effort to save this deal including a rare visit by japanese Prime Minister shinzo who told irans Supreme Leader that he had brought a letter from President Donald Trump but Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said trump did not deserve a response how many who has alternate authority in iran says the government will not negotiate any further iran maintains it has kept up its end of the deal 15 reports produced by the international Atomic Energy agency have concluded that tehran is complying with the Nuclear Agreement iran says the future of this nuclear deal is now in the hands of the 3 main european signatories france britain and germany and president rouhani has warned that the stability and security of the entire region is at stake that many analysts say that without the United States its difficult to see how this deal could work for such a party aljazeera to iran. And other developments the Iraqi Military says 3 rockets have hit a base hosting u. S. Forces north of baghdad Officials Say 2 shells landed in the iraqi section of the taji base and another just outside it though no casualties and no one has claimed responsibility but it comes just as the tide a time when there are heightened tensions in the region because of the standoff between the u. S. And iran. Bring you this half hour including the u. N. Threatens to suspend food a t. V. Yamin accusing the who sees of diverting supplies. Hello there were seeing some more very heavy downpours over parts of australia for a look at the satellite picture we can see this huge area of cloud here that gave some of us over 100 millimeters of what weather but it is now clearing away so for many of us here it will be drawing as we head through the next day or say this weather system there is going to be still with us and its going to give us some rain maybe a little bit of hail and some snow was well i think gradually runs its way eastwards and wont be warm under that area of cloud either were behind it so melbourne at best even by the time we get to wednesday well only be getting to around 12 towards the west it will be a little bit warmer for us here perth getting to 17 but at night well at least drop all the way down to around 3 degrees so a very chilly one for us that it was the east and weve had some rather cool wins in the east and weve also had quite a few showers but now we have an area of High Pressure thats developing thats going to ensure the weather comes down theres more in the way a fine weather but at night the temperature will be dropping below freezing for many of us so that is delighted to give us a problem with some frosts but over the towards the north and the weathers coming down for many of us over the northern parts they just a large amount of cloud there every part of south korea and across parts of japan but tokyo should have a fine day but up temperature of 27. Bottles in cameroon with. Plastic is everywhere. But if both of those can be fishing boats. Bubble gum wellington boots what more can be done with this plague of columnists. Reimagining plastic. On the disease. Welcome back top story Mohamed Morsi the 1st democratically elected president of egypt has collapsed in court and died hes been in prison since being ousted by the military in 2013. And are all the headline this hour iran says it will break its uranium stockpile limit in the next 10 days breaching a key condition of the 2015 nuclear deal. The agreement has been steadily on ravening since the u. S. Pulled out last may launch a new sanctions and sending iran into economic freefall. All more on the death of Mohamed Morsi now human rights activists say his medical conditions were ignored by the egyptian authorities and that the hawse harsh situation in solitary confinement could have led to a private short death Priyanka Gupta has more. A death that human rights activists have called tragic but predictable and what former egyptian president Mohamed Morsy supporters say is a model 17 june 21000. 00 mostly appeared in court for trial on charges of espionage he asked a judge if he could speak to the session in what is now his final address morsi demanded a special tribunal and better trial conditions the Public Prosecutors say the 67 year old then collapsed and died in a defendants cage tofail Mohamed Morsi Mohamed Morsi died today while attending a session in his trial on espionage charges during the session he was granted permission to address the judge after the session was adjourned the former president blacked out and then died his body was taken to a hospital. Egypts prosecutors say they have ceased surveillance cameras in the courtroom and ordered a forensic examination preliminary reports apparently suggest no signs of external injuries but there are allegations that egyptian authorities have ignored multiple warnings by human Rights Groups and experts untimely death because of inhumane prison conditions he was singled out for mistreatments. In the 1st 4 years of his detention you had exactly 2 family visits he was held in solitary confinement for nearly the entire time it was tension he never received the medical care that he asked or he was not allowed to have the food and medicine provided by his family that virtually all other prisoners in egypt are able to access. Last year a panel of british politicians and lawyers said treatment in prison was so bad that it could amount to torture re i predict that if you didnt get the appropriate medical treatment he may very well have a premature death and of course rise out of. Torture is a crime of universal jurisdiction and we found that the responsibility for that would sit all the way up the egyptian chain of command so if they have looked off to him properly since our report then it would be in egypt own interests to establish that the higher the more they are there for out of iraq. And the man who sits at the top of the chain of command is egypts current leader president of the sisi the former army chief ousted morsi in a military coup in 2030 and since then has locked up thousands of people as Political Prisoners and this is the outcome that the Egyptian Government comes wanted 4 years for morsi and also for other brotherhood leaders like mine are going to be on artificial they dont want necessarily to execute people because of the. Execution it would create what they want. Then a cold sweat International Investigation into morsi staff in court while his life in prison seemed entirely ignored by the wad pick up the disease. Joining me in the studio now is the head of the Egyptian Revolutionary Council which was the Main Organization advocating for morsi to be reinstated as president and so we were hearing just in that report a clip from british m. P. Crispin blond who led a cross party effort to gain access to Mohamed Morsi in prison and sought to highlight his that the to can the conditions that he was languishing and what can you tell us about his treatment in jail what we know from his family and what who able to gather. Through his lawyer is that his situation was deteriorating over the years he was in solitary confinement he suffered from diabetes he lost sight in one r. I and we made this public through the press conferences that we held as the Egyptian Revolutionary Council alongside with other human rights organizations and lawyers at something Human Rights Watch has pointed to we sent letters and met with policymakers and with agencies of the United Nations there was sympathy but very little action on the part of the International Community but more importantly no response from the egyptian regime which we hold responsible for whats happened to dr morsi responsibility goes to the highest level of the state to himself to the Security Forces and the judiciary that is an arm of the military they are all responsible for whats happening to political dissidents and today to egypts 1st democratically 1st democratically elected president and that have been calls from human rights organizations for that to be a free and fair investigation into the circumstances surrounding morses death but is that likely to happen i mean even it doesnt make sense for the government to even lead such an inquiry i think there has to be a call for such an inquiry i think the International Community and or human rights bodies in the United Nations should pursue this the response from the egyptian regime may be negative but i think governments that kill elected regimes that kill elected president s need to be held to account and feel the pressure from the International Community so yes i think there needs to be a concerted effort from the u. K. And from a very simple day is International Bodies that such an investigation takes place what has happened to president morsi is a slow death through a form of torture which is a crime and egypt a signatory to the convention against torture. But it carries out torture every day in its prisons the constant deaths of political dissidents through through negligence and lack of medication thank you very much thank you now the student who became the face of hong kongs Democracy Movement has been released from prison Joshua Warren was jailed 6 weeks ago for his involvement in hong kongs umbrella protests in 2014 hes vowed to join the mass protests against a controversial extradition bill government suspended the lower often millions went out onto the streets to oppose it but demonstrators are refusing to back down until it scrapped altogether and lead to carry lamb has resigned well chinas government has doubled down on its support for hong kongs embattled leader adrian brown has more on that now from beijing. Well publicly chinas leaders continue to offer support to carry hong kongs embattled leader but privately say some analysts are beginning to have serious doubts as to whether she should remain in office beyond one term these analysts also say that you know chinas leaders have been left angry and also embarrassed not just by the fact that the Police Used Tear Gas and rubber bullets against student demonstrators in june of all months but also by the fact that more than 2000000. 00 people took part in sundays demonstration a reflection of just how people are feeling in hong kong right now and of course a lot of that anger is directed not just at the Hong Kong Government but also of the Central Government theres no doubt the president xi jinping does not need another distraction right now especially as hes preparing for his meeting that student happened on the sidelines of the g. 20 summit in osaka with President Donald Trump and also chinese leaders now believe that the trumpet ministration is attempting to draw a line between the the hong kong protests and also the current trade dispute between china and the United States and president xi jinping does not want to give president from another stick with which to hit china which is why i say analysts hes been pushing for hong kongs leaders to show maximum tolerance in the face of protests the could yet continue the Un Food Agency has threatened to start suspending food aid to haiti controlled areas of yemen this week accuse the rebels of diverting the aid from those who need it most in 1000 nations also says the war in yemen is becoming even more violent with 250000 people displaced just this year for 4 years in saudi amorality that coalition has been battling the who says are supported by iran and diplomatic editor james bays reports from the u. N. The Security Council heard that peace efforts in yemen are still stalled special envoy Martin Griffiths is struggling to push forward an agreement to redeploy forces in the main port of data a deal that was done more than 6 months ago and now he faces a new precious the council has recently expressed concern at reassess collating violence across yemen and the attacks on civilian infrastructure in the southern saudi arabia i must echo these concerns including the recent attacks on the court i have repeatedly warned that war can take pieces of the table and in the context of wider regional tensions the risks to the political process have never looked well stock russias ambassador then made a thinly veiled attack on recent u. S. Statements look. We underscore the artificially stoking tensions and he says the accusations are hardly conducive to an impartial International Investigation on the contrary they politicize it and erode trust and such a process. The Security Council heard that for the people of yemen things are very grim and its getting worse yemen is getting more violent not less the conflict is getting worse not better fighting this year has displaced more than 250000 people. The number of incidents killing or injuring children more than tripled between the last quarter of last year and the 1st quarter of this year add to that the risk of an environmental disaster the u. N. Is warning that there is a tanker in a very bad condition anchored in the port of who date or it could rupture it has on board 1100000 barrels worth of oil which could pollute the entire red sea coastline james bos aljazeera at the United Nations Ugandan Health officials have started distributing vaccinations to nearly 100 people who may have been exposed to it earlier the epidemic started in the democratic republic of congo last year as one of the worst outbreaks in history it spread to uganda last week and the tasa reports now from aunty. Anyone who may have come in contact with it as of 2 people who died in the boiler is be encouraged to get vaccinated a kid who died had attended a funeral in democratic republic of congo. Health workers hopelessly boil a vaccine how to train more deaths in waste in uganda a public mistrust of helplessness in congo has seen war communities here accuse medical teams are spreading disease thats why some people say they dont want to seek help from those. Here for them they were thinking as if. Its something. You know they are. Witches. And the paid for mission. Is what i hear the head of the World Health Organization says efforts to contain the outbreak in democratic republic of congo have been hampered by militia attacks on Treatment Centers and hostility towards the medical teams so i think the political and security environment is very important otherwise we could have finished it it wouldnt have taken 10 months. Because in western reality there was outbreak from last year maybe up to august but it was controlled in 3 months because it was relatively stable. Medical scientists are developing more vaccines but the challenge for many here is that a lot more of the research is done abroad are walking with a lot of International Partners from the north to do our research and we are shipping in fact many african countries now are reducing on shipment specimens or the works to be done locally but we know the science developed slowly but were moving there at that action. The doctors and nurses in uganda are experienced in dealing with people or patients to help contain outbreaks in west africa between critiquer 18 and 26th in uganda is worst Ebola Outbreak was 19 years ago when even 500 people were infected and nearly heart of died so the same Health Experts say the country has been relatively well prepared in containing the virus and use it confirms outbreaks much faster than many others that was. The World Health Organization says although congress Ebola Outbreak is serious it is cited not clear internationally emergency for now but invented measures are needed to stop it spitting. Uganda.
