A little more about the Paris Agreement because it left it up to National Governments to set their own targets despite having agreed on a carbon budget so youre saying that paris wasnt enough. That power is definitely isnt enough to keep the climate safe thats absolutely right it was the best that we could be achieved at the time and now the effort and i think this is what the secretary general has called this summit for is to say weve got to now do more and commit our commit to doing more and thats why the 60 countries that are going to be speaking at his summit are countries that have said they are these willing to think about doing more but i think whats also important is not just to focus on what governments are doing because that could make you very gloomy the fact is that also were seeing a lot more. Much more rapid fall in the costs of red normals and storage that way to anticipated so the the cost of dealing with Climate Change is going down and were deploying those technologies faster than we thought we might be able to so some good news there at least a ton back from a 3 g.

No absolutely not but this is a real alone kind of a Public Relations victory for a number under modi theres a time back in 2005 when he was actually banned from entering the United States and being given a visa on the grounds of religious freedom and given some of the International Concerns about his brand of hindu nationalist politics particularly the surge of attacks on religious minorities under his government and more recently the stripping of autonomy for kashmir theres been a lot of International Outcry against Narendra Modis government so the fact that he is here on the stage alongside donald trump is something that these organizers are really hoping will boost his image internationally so theres that in all of this but what i can tell you is that that is not being received well by many here in the United States and around the world in fact there were protesters that were at one point very angry with us for speaking or rather there were some supporters of mir interim ot the organizers of this event very unhappy that we were speaking with protesters that were pushed down a little ways that got pretty heated in fact at one point they yanked our credentials tried to grab our camera we know how police were around us to prevent that from happening again but it gives you a sense of the tensions here in fact there are 2 well there are tens of thousands inside the football stadium there are thousands here outside that have had to be kept away protesting this appearance by the u.

Well you know there is a statement of them standing alongside each other that many people say is that they are 2 peas in a pod if you will that they have both have a very similar brand of nationalism when it comes to their governments but in terms of diplomacy in terms of of not just. Politics but also the economy these men are working very hard to try and encourage trade deal and vance of the u. N. General assembly theyll both be attending they both need it was the part of indias Prime Minister that had a sluggish economy in india so they need this trade deal for the part of donald trump he certainly is interested because hes had this prolonged trade war with china that is certainly concerning some kids looking for a trade deal when this would be good for the United States because it would lower tariffs on u. S. Produce in india it would also restore perfect for treatment for indian goods into the United States so these men are looking for that victory but above and of beyond all of that is really the p. R.

Well the protests against egypts president spread demonstrators demand the resignation of abdul fattah elsisi because they say hes corrupt how will he and the army respond to one of the largest challenges to his rule so far this is inside story. Hello welcome to the program on iran come on protests are rare in todays egypts president. Has stifled dissent ever since he deposed his predecessor in a military coup 6 years ago but the government ban on protests has been defined in several cities over the past 2 nights. Security forces in so as a fired bullets and tear gas at protesters were demanding ccs resignation dozens were arrested nitocris square in cairo when the revolution to overthrow president Hosni Mubarak unfolded the defiant display of anger fled when protesters hey it had the latest corruption allegations now sisi denies squandering public money the former military contractor who made the allegations is warning of more protests. Im still waiting for a response from the defense minister and Security Forces saying sisi is out he is no longer fit for this next friday is his ultimatum im waiting for that decision and the next step is a multi 1000000 man march we started in our local streets but next friday we will take to the major squares. So what are the allegations against president sisi egyptian business on mohamed ali worked as a military contractor for 15 years now living in spain he began posting videos this month alleging says he spent millions of dollars of public money building palaces villas and hotels also q. C. Shes wife into sort of squandering public funds on vanity projects and he accuses egypts transport minister Major General kemal always in and several military leaders of stealing money from Construction Companies working with the army including his own and now they accuse the militarys engineering or thorazine of failing to invite tenders and directly awarding projects to companies. Lets bring in. The middle east and north Africa Research a Human Rights Watch in washington d. C. He called mid egypts Domestic Affairs analyst and. A short founding director of the Critical Security Studies Program at the Doha Institute a welcome to you all like to begin with you in. What muhammad ali has done is effectively broken too big to abuse within Egyptian Society criticizing the army and even more criticizing the president that sparked a movement of people out on the streets could this movement build always saying then you are. Thats a question. I think there is no definitive answer to it but i think i believe that the. The bus 2 weeks what mohammed adi has done is he actually managed to do things that all. Have not been able to do in the past few years and. President his government has some heard every bit of damage to their image to dinner but. Any use of violence such as what happened in. By Security Forces on friday night will actually cause more damage i think. The main reason why actually people took to the streets in response to these calls is because there are no other channels no other. Windows for any peaceful action. In a normal society in a normal. I wouldnt say even democracy but. I think. Of corruptions could be. You know could be covered by. Articles by Investigative Journalism by judiciary in a situations but in egypt all these things done do not exist and the only think people have now is to protest to go to the streets and to shore their anger and frustration that has built up to unprecedented levels in the bust years let me bring in till he come here from a washington d. C. Are these baseless allegations made by a disgruntled businessman or is this a real threat to the presidency as his role i see this allegations. As not a threat to the presidency see because obviously when you see as a league ations hes accusing the president are all of this system of using some money to build some places he called them palaces for the president which is a noble part of many governments to put some money to build things for the President Office for meetings and he didnt prove or show any evidence that any of this money went to prison c. C. Account for example bank account personally so you cant say really it is corruption its something that was built in respect of the decision could be right could be wrong thats another issue but it is certainly not corruption corruption is when you give government money to employ you to put it in his personal account the 2nd thing is that the people of egypt it solved it in 3 actor to this message as you can see from the very small number of the demonstrators in the streets reuters describe this as few hundreds going and i can see even if it is in 1000 if it even if it is that many on this that are present one percentage of the Egyptian Society they didnt come up for more than 10000. 00 all all over the country but let us as you know 1000000. 00 people when it is one percent of the society so its hard towards. Scribed what sort of democracy mohamed ali and the other people are demanding if one percent of the society want to directed their country again and that will of the majority of people who speciously when we know the fact of their mohamed ali himself thanking the military and the police for not using harsh hand with the demonstrators the allow them peacefully in most cases to live in a straight and and yet the egyptian people didnt go into the streets so no one can say that the egyptians didnt go because they were scared of the police and military that that guy himself mohammad ali the guy who initiated the demonstrations thanking the police and the military for being peaceful with the people in the streets yet the egyptians didnt go so i see that the many egyptians recognize that these allegations are 5 they they can have some base yeah thats there is some things or passes that have been built but this could be corrected the situation to improve the image of the country this may be incorrect as usual in all situations its not a proof of course no money went into the bank account of president sisi and so this was a message of assisi when he wants but muhammad ali doesnt have to prove corruption only has to do is a legit the genie is then out of the bottle and people on the street im a show i want to bring you in here. Its well people are out there now people are out in the streets this build you you know we saw this in 2011 but these are protesters very seemingly people who are younger and probably werent on the streets in 2000 level who have come out on the streets today couldnt get the. It could egypt has all the Structural Conditions for a successful Resistance Campaign mobilization very young population on one and. Intense sustained grievances that have been going on for a long time even beyond this generation. And especially on 2 issues highlighted one is the issue of corruption that Mohamed Badie more or less became sparked and sparked in a way that is unconventional in a way that was a lesson in Strategic Communications if you wish with the guy thats not even have a University Degree he gave a lesson to there all the ph d. s in the opposition how to communicate with the working class and how to explain with them some very complex issues in a very simple language the information by the way he gave was not new. Most of the specialist i know who work on the military economy understand the level of corruption actually give more data and more numbers he just simplified that out there in the numbers in a very communicable language to the to the working class and i think thats his skill set. So that on one end so what he did really is you have the Structural Conditions you have the grievances you have the depression you have the huge level of unprecedented level of repression because even compared to mubarak and not his era this is takes it to another level the level of corruption as well is unprecedented i believe and all what you need is an eye on population and all what you need is a somebody to spark to spark this and this is what happened in 2010 with the death of credit saeed in june 2010 who basically paid with his life to get egypt to 2 years of freedom between 272013 and yet now we have somebody else who whose sparking in a very different way he didnt pay with his life is more or less was part of the corruption and then decided to. Do to provide very in tents a message. With this and him his identity of the messenger is very important as well and yet you have that kind of mobilizations is quite new thats on one and on the other end how will the regime is going to deal with it this is the big question mark what we saw now is that the extremely heavy handed crackdown on demonstrations did not happen it was mainly at rest and then releases after some releases after that it was tear gas as opposed to just usual fighting and automatic rifles and not all trifles and sometimes machine guns there crackdowns that we saw in 2015201420 extension 15 later on 2017 did not materialize dysthymia which tells me that there is something going on probably within the security in the military effort at this unclear so far we have 3 things that developed one was a statement from general sami on and that came out confidently with the mohamed are you gay sions. The man was the former chief of staff of egypts army it was the 2nd man in the. 2011 and hes in prison now for 10 years. And the 2nd one and hes still part and parcel of the regime part of the parcel of the leadership in the military establishment who is also issuing statements talking about you know toppling the regime very very clearly or toppling the c. C. C. Specifically the 2nd thing came from also the questioning that we know now that some of the activists who were arrested were questioned about their links to general who was mubaraks last Prime Minister a general who wanted to run for elections came number came in 2nd in 2012 d. Millions basically voted for him 48 percent of the electorate in the 2nd round. And then after that he wanted to go for presenter elections at rest in the u. A. E. And then deported to egypt and the. Placed under house arrest in egypt so there is worries among the lets say the faction loyal to sisi within the regime that has been. Inspiring or maybe organizing some of this hence the questioning. And then the 3rd thing which is i believe very important it was not focused upon it was not really that much in the media is the visit by the current minister of defense general. Who was who was formerly the head of the president ial guard during these time and in this specific general you can say that he was the executioner of the military coup back in 20 in july 23rd because it was his decision that mattered if you decided to protect president morsi probably the coup wouldnt have been very successful or you would have seen some sort of clashes happening but his decision to support the coup then and basically abandon his call Constitutional Orders led to the success of the coup so that same person now is the defense minister he has ideas he has certain ideas or lets say and expediency of how to run a coup and now hes the defense minister and he went to the special forces one of the special forces bases and spoke to them quite in a long way from where you make several very interesting points i do want to bring in the other guest i do want to do and its going to get you that will finish this one because its very important he talked with them that he has their backs and he has their backs can mean 2 things either should the protesters and i have your back or. Stay with me and we change this rotten status quo and i have your back as well can mean 2 things during tonto we start when he thought when he gave the same talk to the soldiers it was televised by the way under mubarak it meant that i have your backs like you can you can get your movement a lot of going to have your backs so well see how it goes like i say you make several very interesting points and. Want to bring in. Then to pick up on one of them what i find fascinating what i think a lot of people find fascinating about this is that muhammad ali was able to speak the peoples language he was able to mobilize them because of the simplicity of his words because of the way he spoke hes almost become a folk hero on the streets of egypt. Has not surprised people in egypt has surprised the establishment in egypt i think the protests on friday night and also in some cities yesterday surpassed any expectations. But again i think the reason why we reach this level. Of unpredictability and uncertainty is precisely because this government has crushed all basic rights of the egyptian citizens theres simply no way to avoid criticism or. Straight without risking your own lives or risking going to jail this presidency if he has actually coast the. Unprecedented human rights crisis in egypt history. To disagree with people who say that the Security Forces have dealt maybe more smoothly or harshly with protesters on friday we are talking about. Hundreds of arrests we dont even know the number of the lawyers on the ground are everywhere to police stations and Detention Centers just to be able to know how many are arrested. We need to see. Hundreds killed to. Violence we are used to this kind of violence from the egyptian Security Forces its true that they have killed hundreds of protesters in the last 2 years but using. Firearms and arresting hundreds of protesters. From what was not actually huge protests when you talk about hundreds of. Thousands. Big number i think muhammad ali managed to reach people because of his simple language because he actually comes from this. You know from this community he worked for the army for 15 years things he talked he talked about could be seen. And heard in when you walk into streets you can see that hes talking about presidency when he spoke last week he didnt even try to deny. He was talking about but he actually used funny discourse saying that hes building these bonuses for the image of egypt which is very funny and i think was also. Provoking. People in believing more and also responding to his calls for brothers i think. What happened so far was actually expected we have been talking i think analysts who follow egypt have been talking for years about the risk of seeing another browsing another social particularly social uprising but no one actually could predict when and how big but now we are seeing this happening and it was expected when you block all the channels of peaceful expression and peaceful exercise of rights what do you expect now we are seeing in the streets people in the streets actually are people that we. Know the figures and faces we have seen in 2007 uprising this generation have mostly actually seen the protests from home they were on friday night watching the brothers and people in the streets are mostly younger maybe they were teenagers during the 2007 uprising and i think they have learned to listen and the also reached a level of frustration and disappointment that led them to join the protests tough economy did in d. C. Theres a chink in the of the Egyptian Army there seems to be a little bit of a panic now this man mohammed ali has managed to really get his message across and people are out on the streets do you think that the armys position is weakened that the president has met his match. Thanks for the question actually i see the opposite completely here because initially your point may be correct there was some warry some maybe possible level of panic. But when there the reaction of the people to mohammed ali message was so weak and this is not my opinion this is the reality on the ground as seen on the reuters and in many other news media that the number of people was too small compared for example to generate 25 revolution or a june 30th of illusion again as we see when the nations of the people of the nations that revolt against a leader like morsi for example they went in tens of millions the same with mubarak so in this situation we are talking about few hundreds or few thousands of people in the streets so my point is the magnitude of that the action i see that if i am in the Egyptian Army i would be very relaxed now there are happy theyre very action in the street proves that the majority of people are not with this election these are not revolt against the leadership they are many of them are under pressure we cannot deny this yes some financial pressure because of the changes in the economy and the subsidy assistive we can fully understand this but yet the egyptian people still and many of them if not morsi as a whole or otherwise they would have demonstrated in tens of millions is the street and they did during mubarak or during Mohamed Morsi so in this time despite the power of the social media to reach more people yet that the action was too weak so i think it as a victory here for the military to to prove that the majority of the population are not with this message are still supportive of president the c. S. E. That is based on numbers its not just an opinion revolutions always begin small numbers lets bring in a marshal from whos in with us and a whole. August seems to be saying that actually the army should be happy that there are only a few people out in the streets we dont know the number however is this an opportunity for the army for president. To be able to try and change things around to address these allegations of corruption and actually address what the protesters are demanding is an opportunity. Sure just 2 points for the number issue we really have to stop misleading with coating in correct numbers because its getting annoying this has been going on for a while since 2013 we know that square if you put 4 people in every square meter which is very difficult you need to read very 4 for small people the whole capacity of is 120000. 00 if you took all of the streets all of the 2 bridges south or north put the same figure for people in every square meter you would reach 300000 at max same thing for where there was no also Maximum Capacity at around 300000 with all of the streets around it at Maximum Capacity so the d whole idea of millions i said this in 2011 i told it may need to opposition activists stop saying 1000000 because there are no millions on the streets and you have to be realistic about that so the amount of misleading figures that came out 17000000 to 30000000 and so on im sorry this is all b. S. So thats on one side on the other side the only way to know the that how. What they like to it want to or what the majority wants if you wish is in elections in free and Fair Elections and this did not happen in egypts history before 952 women did not even vote after the 1952 men and women vote did not read the method they only put it that this happened was between 25. 20 and we had a show of more or less half of that activates like at the maximum when egypt had 52000000 voters about 26000000 of them showed up it was in the parliamentary elections and then about 25 and something 1000000 showed up and that this is this is how it works in egypt so we need to stop really misleading the viewers and respect the viewers and give them proper information at the level of an expert not at the level of cheap propaganda. Thats on one side on the other side yes we have an issue here we have a crisis of leadership to be honest whether on the on the military side or on the opposition side the crisis of leadership that i think the current leadership has no capacity to compromise has no vision its not the. Founding fathers of the emetic it has no not the capacity not the psychology for it the egomania is so high psychological complexes are so high the level of pettiness is very very high so it doesnt have a vision i dont think so can it compromise and build the nation and build the Constitutional Republic i dont think so the now we go one level down at the moment im not really sure i mean its just to be there because we are running out of time but i do want to bring in the others who guess very 1st one thing that we are actually running out we are actually running out and i want to bring the other 2 guests in just very quickly and margie in berlin is this an opportunity for the army to say ok theyre all problems in our society and we do need to address them and will they take the opportunity to address these concerns from the people. Well as Human Rights Watch we did is this statement calling on president sisi to publicly call in on his government and Security Forces to allow peaceful protests and to refrain from using violence i think this is an opportunity. For sisi and ranks inside the government to actually realize the level of anger and frustration and to actually take 1000. 00 steps backwards if possible at least. To actually allow citizens.

On to other news now and palestinian israeli parties that are recommending benny gantz for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the israeli president is holding talks with rival political leaders and that choosing the next Prime Minister now neither Prime Minister netanyahu nor his main rival gangs could muster enough seats for a majority government in last weeks election our correspondent harry forth that brings us the latest from leicester some. Where the leader of the joint list the grouping of mainly palestinians really parties i meant what is said that this was a historic moment that not since 1992 had such a group being recommended a Prime Minister candidate for the top job in israeli politics and that they were recommending benny gantz he said that he was doing that after years of being of the palestinian israeli sector of Israeli Society being diligent a miser by the administration of Benjamin Netanyahu is time for that era he said to come to an end and so they were acting but he also made it clear that there were other motivations as well that this was a reflection of a shift in that sector of society there have been polls recently which is have shown that palestinian israeli voters want to see either of the parties supporting an Administration Even potentially entering a Coalition Government so much more engagement there are issues that are very much desired to be solved issues such as social ones Economic Issues crime and indeed im in order said it was time to repeal the nation state law which had made the entire policy an israeli Secular Society into 2nd class citizens the other question looming of course is whether there will be a National Unity government between likud the party of Benjamin Netanyahu and blue and white or the party of benny gantz that is what the israeli president really riven has been hosting these talks wants to see happen but the presence of netanyahu in such an administration is the big question would blue and white except that would likud ever consider overthrowing the leader whos brought them so much. Electoral success over so many years there are more talks that will carry on on monday here at the president s residence he will then have until the following wednesday october 2nd to make his decision as to who to give the 1st option to to try to form a Coalition Government a new climate report has laid bare some startling findings on global temperature and a sea level rises scientists from the worlds top weather agencies have sounded the alarm a day before a major Climate Summit at the United Nations they found the average global temperature between 20152019 will likely be the hottest of any 5 year period on record on top of that arctic summer sea ice has declined as a rate of 12 percent decade over the past 40 years and making matters worse Greenhouse Gas emissions continue to increase Carbon Dioxide grew by 2 percent in 2018 reaching a record high now earlier i spoke to tom burke who is the chairman of Climate Change think tank 3 g. And he says the climate is turning out to be even more sensitive to Greenhouse Gases than previously thought. I think the danger is growing and that means we have much less time to solve the problem than we thought we had so we were basically if we want to tackle Climate Change will stay within the Powers Agreement we have to stop burning fossil fuels by about middle of the century we know may have to do that somewhat sooner than the middle of the century well let me ask you a little more about the Paris Agreement because it left it up to National Governments to set their own targets despite having agreed on a carbon budget so youre saying that paris wasnt enough paris definitely isnt enough to keep the climate safe thats absolutely right it was the best that we could be achieved at the time and now the effort and i think this is what the secretary general has called this summit for is to say weve got to do more and commit commit to doing more and thats why the 60 countries that are going to be speaking at his summit are countries that have said there are these willing to think about doing more but i think whats also important is not just to focus on what governments are doing because that could make you very gloomy the fact is that also were seeing a lot more of a much more rapid fall in the costs of run or wars and storage that we dont dissipate it so the the cost of dealing with Climate Change is going down and were deploying those technologies faster than we thought we might be able to while in a historic move the United Nations has announced that gabon will become the 1st african nation to receive International Funds to preserve its forest its all part of an effort to fight Climate Change under the 10 year deal norway will provide gabon with 150 1000000. 00 to fight deforestation the Central African nation has been a leader in preserving its rain forests by creating 13 national parks.
