That commitment to take decisive wreck action and that takes place and we continue to demand that the Islamic Republic of iran act in a way that is consistent with what i laid back out back in may of 2018 for what it is that we expect iran to do so that it can rejoin the community of nations i was here as some out of 14 is in baghdad and says the strikes marcus shift in u. S. Strategy. Well there are quite significant because this is actually the 1st time that the u. S. Actually strikes a target on iraq his soil lets remember not until too long ago the u. S. And the p. M. S. Were fighting against isis on the same side but of course since then the tensions between the u. S. And iranian backed groups have played a quite a bit in this particular ad attack were hearing from a source inside the p. M. S. Has claimed as many as 10 lives with dozens of people injured and of course this particular strike comes at the back of a series of rocket attacks that were aimed at military bases where both u. S. And iraqi personnel are based in the u. S. Attributed some of these attacks took a type has followed the last one happened last friday and for the 1st time it actually claimed the life of one u. S. Contractor and it injured several u. S. Personnel now of course secretary of state mike pompei or has said before that any such attack that harm u. S. Troops or their allies would be met with decisive force so this strike is basically a response to that now it does present a departure from the previous stance of the u. S. When it basically tried to urge the Iraqi Government to rein in groups like hezbollah reminding the government that it is responsible for the safety of u. S. Troops because of course they are here at the invitation of the government so this is these strikes represent a departure from the policy in a sign that the u. S. Is now taking matters into its own hands residents of several towns in the australian cities of victoria been told its now too late to leave as bush fires burn nearby temperatures climbed over 40 degrees celsius and winds of up to 100 kilometers an hour forecast for the hours ahead around 40000 people were ordered to evacuate on sunday what weve up until today 70 new force in the station.

And i missed any of the i mean so i may. Have even what i did 30. Mr dialysis. President Abdel Fattah Elsisi presents himself as egypt savior as the only man able to impose order in his country. There is this stink smell of tear gas blood and bullets. Really a subtle talked without all knowing man tank health donovan johnny. Man fashion of with you know little steps for that that will be more. Despite his human rights record western leaders have embraced l. C. C. As a strategic and commercial partner so they promote clearly little question so that i may think im a. C c was able to say theres a threat from isis you want to defeat it give us the tools and well take care of this for you. We have a fantastic relationship with egypt and we appreciate what youre doing but israel sisi really such a good bargain for the west. In april 28th in egyptian president abdullah fatah elsisi secured a 2nd time in office after winning 97 percent of the vote yet the results were hardly surprising. There were technically 2 candidates but the other candidate was the most optimistic. In fact the supporter who had stepped into the contest at the 11th hour to prevent the embarrassment of a one horse race. 3 men from within the military establishment had initially challenge how seizing for the presidency in a very short space of time all 3 candidates were dispensed with by at the c. C. Regime sami a not a retired general was charged with breaching military regulations. And consul was a little known army colonel was Court Martialed and ahmed shafik a former air force commander withdrew from the race after being held in a luxury hotel for a month. Both recently president and sisi expressed regrets that no one was willing to run against him but the situation became increasingly embarrassing for cairos partners in the west. Parts of the Us Government were communicating to c. C. Into those around him that we were concerned about his efforts to drive out every credible pawn and to his reelection i think it may even have been addressed by Vice President and spun he went to cairo earlier and 28 teams so that message was being conveyed. With no real contest the main focus for sisi became obtaining legitimacy through a high voter turnout and. People were promised that they would get to mecca or they would get an approved Electricity Supply in their town or they would get and use water system. To live in for the little let up then. I think that this is what is. Going. Thank you. And 2011 the revolution in Tahrir Square put an end to Hosni Mubaraks 30 year regime and raised hopes that egypt would become the middle easts largest democracy. But this socalled arab spring was short lived. Since taking power in 2030 l. C. C. Has ruled the country amid allegations of Human Rights Violations as well as an escalation in armed attacks in the Sinai Peninsula that have killed more than 3000 people. Egypt is a key u. S. Ally and a major European Business partner western countries are often accused of overlooking egypts human rights record and its disregard of the rule of law because of the countrys geo Political Economic and strategic importance. A case in point is that of an italian ph d. Student from the university of Cambridge Julio regime who disappeared in cairo on the 25th of january 26th. The young italian was found dead 9 days later in a ditch on the citys outskirts his half naked body bore the signs of heavy torture. To outdoor. In on Pastoral Care the toilet or toward the. Northeast i mean to the to where ed of am and what on of it all a come out of the sauna. There on that awful scene state that case they are. The day regime went missing a major security operation was underway in cairo to control protests marking the 5th anniversary of the revolution. The italian authorities suspected that regime he had been arrested that night but the Egyptian Government denied any responsibility. There was a whole range of lurid details of a fright just that rejoined he was the victim of a car crash and later a consummate in the press that julia a jenny was gay even though he wasnt and that hed been killed by a gay lover and there were suggestions that he had been taking drugs and this was perhaps a drug deal that had gone wrong. And i may get then take him out on the shuttle italia my sing out and on every battle not every battle that gets anyone a sort of them and they. Carry the colaba out of there im in danger and i think that. Interior minister maggoty abdullah gul father dismissed western suspicions. As i dont know why but you can be a good and done service as he has i dont know most of the laws in the in this hour shift well let me answer that has. 6 weeks into the investigation the egyptians said they had found regime these killers claiming that they were part of a gang they kidnapped foreigners. A group of 4 men were traveling in a small minivan according to their wives to do a construction job on an apartment. This vehicle approached a Police Checkpoint the police opened fire and killed everybody inside. Later that afternoon the Police Officers went. To the homes of these people and lo and behold what they find but are julio jennys personal effect. But just 24 hours later the interior ministry was forced to admit that those men had nothing to do with regime is murder. Kathy alive or are they nasty investigate they have kaido all day for somebody at a concert dates that are so mccain that i think were. At the other foot or so what i asked the committee a queen the other monday that kick their sauna came off a child then its no secret that i do commenting. But the genie had been in egypt researching trade unions including those of the local Street Vendors. A year after his death suspicions emerged that one of the leaders of the Street Vendors union was a Police Informant he had become convinced that regime was a spy. And still say it was utterly. Down upon timing to all. That he put in the right men to. Come out of school stopped him and you know going on but on the union leader wanted regime here to incriminate himself and pushed for compromising topics like foreign funded political activism. Term usually let alone the sort of the only solution to the machete of my song but kettle got well in a certain love imma show you how to. Live us and i get to see a c. S. I. Back to. The kind of an age real can eradicate that just because on the back of the ship if i dont lean on boston all. The thought i came out of here that. I could now be the muscle to. Sit on. The next phase in this. Was. After me out there she knew that if that meant that i was looking we can imagine ek with any other pick a female someone imagined for the man at any point back then after. The union leader reported regime new to the Security Services just days before his disappearance. The egyptian authorities continued to deny any responsibility for his death. So there are a janney case came at a particularly sensitive moment for aleisha as between egypt and italy because at that very moment the Italian Energy company annie was in the process of developing the largest gas field in the Eastern Mediterranean called zohar in conjunction with egypt. Went on its own is something game changer very neat thing when she took me to many other than your Business School bag. Point geology even that idea that if i started i would want to be plays an Important Energy i want to play is if you know many people should these friday it probably was only domestically dinner just one provision of zoar gas field is also a major source of profit for any worth an estimated 6400000000. 00 to the gas giant it was in any use interest as well as in theses interests to achieve a rapid resolution of this case and for those of a project could go ahead. The political stalemate caused by regime his murder came to an end 20 italy sent a new ambassador to cairo. She had shot the. Sea of the moon shot a zara she caught a love for a. Diplomat i said she. Politique a feeling full of. Pain so they say she finally passed around to the meticulous media im going to lunch at the mental ability that was to leave his rank and file to do anything with phantom interbank to the canadian noble im going on the phone. Basically did resume diplomatic relations with egypt about 3 or 4 months before the Software Project came online and since then you know the project has been a Great Success by all accounts. Part of the goal normally go. To get and d. D. Only g. Doing ality and in the l a it of it all it was she on 1. 00 a cheney vader in fida maine that you both dane de de la motta you never talked to in. Years have passed since julio regime is murder in 2016 in italy and elsewhere many people are still waiting for the truth. For many egyptians what happened to the regime he did not come as a surprise human rights organizations estimate that in egypt at least 323 people have died in custody since 2013. 60000. 00 have been arrested on political charges and over 15000. 00 civilians have faced military trials including 150. 00 children. What has come to be called enforced disappearance is an every day occurrence. It doesnt want to be there for the yam as a b. L. By the in his heart of any of it and in the lower myself and the now and the how and. Why adam had the pluck cunt and i thank you and the had would and in my fish effect.

Who what when you are one of the i mean chef i havent shot of you but somehow it blew up to be stolen when the whole my share my been out of hospital bargain hole. In your throat our. Home they. Had even at that they also i had got out of. The game we were going to solve all of his in order and the sharks are walking normal kentucky because i wasnt like hiking there with.

And the flow on the money on the bus for some way to last will we all meals ready for the infamous. Was freed after 7 months i know lives in france. And i bethought them often greatly of make any action thinking magnetometer thinking even in a 1000000 the time in my fucked up most of the back and the out in left a new thing in the monk another adamant. That if i need thought i mean. We become a national. What akamai was in there and only. With internet what incentive. The one i had to look. For going. On in a matter of. Michelle luckily western again into a passion at. Documenting Human Rights Violations has become very dangerous in egypt. Since 2030 over 500 online news outlets have been shut down 8 journalists have been killed while covering demonstrations adelies 32 journalists and bloggers are currently detained some facing a possible Death Penalty case the hype said the show short. Little b. C. Local industry who had of a child a 3. That was her little. Girl is a the. The to say we do it you can is military and also. To say we have and then i was.

They want to sell to 3000000 homes with a weapon that was 6000000000 in commission. Theres no hope of any more because theres always a small cobbles people for really really good mistakes. In essence we in the United States have privatized the ultimate Public Function more shadow on aljazeera. When the news breaks in the moment today the current government has lost trust the people they cannot do anything because the protestors are against it when people to be cut by supply while the represent the loft scholtz for opponents of brechts its drawing from the conservatives aljazeera has teams on the ground it now hopes the meeting in paris will push politicians to create a competent and credible government to bring new moon documentaries and life moves on air and online information in the case that you have or associated to regard as the Police Department it has the potential to be biased in a number of different ways there are too many opportunities for the computer to get around whos checking those offices or commit those data entry is wrong to be saying that your son the true knight is wrong to. Kill of becoming a suspect before the actual crime and indepth examination into preventative policing precrime on aljazeera. With the top stories own aljazeera iraq has cold u. S.

Secretary of state says it was a response to attacks on americans by iranian backed groups what we did was take a decisive response that makes clear what President Trump has said for months and months and months which is that we will not stand for the Islamic Republic of iran to take actions that put american men and women in jeopardy. We will always honor that commitment to take decisive rep action and that takes place and we continue to demand that the Islamic Republic around act in a way that is consistent with what i laid back out back in may of 2018 for what it is that we expect iran to do so that it can rejoin the community of nations. Residents of several turns in the history and state of victoria have been told its not too late to leave as bush fires burning near by temperatures of coined over 40 degrees celsius and winds of up to 100 kilometers an hour are forecast for the air as it heads around 40000 people were ordered to evacuate on sunday firefighters have been pulled out of forests in the area because of unpredictable conditions neighboring south history there is experiencing catastrophic fire conditions and major fires continue to burn in New South Wales ukrainian Government Forces and russian backed separatists have exchanged 200 prisoners some returns in the ukrainian capital kiev where they were welcomed by their families and president follow Volodymyr Zelinsky this what follows talks between ukraine and russia as the leaders in paris 3 weeks ago.

And the governor of new york has described an attack on a jewish celebration as an act of domestic terrorism 5 people were injured when a man armed with a machete storms into a rabbis home in upstate new york the 37 year old is facing 5 charges of attempted murder as the Updates Party of our man in cairo is up next. In 2011 nobody could anticipate that in just 2 years egypt would once again be under military dictatorship. An american egyptian citizen mohammad saltire got on a plane to cairo and quickly found himself at the front lines of the revolt. Thousands of people gathered outside the president ial palace. I was crying my eyes out i thought for sure they were going to fire the 3 were going to die say my life prayers letter and in the fame moment. The army turns on the speakers of the announcement. A former air force Commander Hosni Mubarak had been the face of egypts military dictatorship since 1981. He was gone but his military regime remained largely intact. When the Muslim Brotherhoods candidate Mohamed Morsi became egypts 1st democratically elected president the military worked to undermine him from day one. By concentrating power in his own hands and with the economy in freefall morsi lost the support of many egyptians. Many egyptians who had supported the idea of the ouster of president mubarak suddenly turned around and said hold on this is also not what we want and suddenly you had a brand new type of conflict inside egyptian society. When hundreds of thousands of protestors poured into the streets on the 1st anniversary of morsy selection the Egyptian Military exploited the situation to remove. L. C. C. Who morsi had put in charge of the army gave him 48 hours to come up with a political solution. Both morsi himself and his senior advisers did not see this coming they knew there was opposition they knew that there was this can and but they didnt think the Egyptian Military would actually move against them in the final analysis on the 3rd of july 2030 l. C. C. Had morsi arrested the new military leadership suspended the constitution and also arrested 300 Muslim Brotherhood Party Members and officials the initial attack on morsy supporters soon expanded to include all political opposition to l. C. C. Egypt occupies a position of strategic importance for the west in the middle east it is israels next door neighbor and controls access to the suez canal. If in a very simple bargain the United States has provided egypt with a large amount of military aid every year and in return egypt has you know kept the peace with israel has provided access to the 1st kind for American Warships and has provided america with really a very strong pillar in the middle of a very volatile region. When l. C. C. To power in 20. 13 relations began to crack there was a general willingness to try to work with the new regime out of the interest in preserving the bilateral relationship so they were willing to give the new military regime an opportunity to prove themselves l. C. C. Soon showed the Obama Administration was he was capable of and the weeks after the military takeover morsi supporters had occupied 2 major thoroughfares in cairo they are not a square and the road in front of iraq or do we have mosque. In august the military cleared these camps with an unprecedented show of force. Mohammed salt was there his father a deputy minister in the short lived Muslim Brotherhood government was amongst those addressing the protesters from the stage. Here i was taking pictures come back put my phone on wait for think not a con and then tweeting taking phone calls from c. N. N. Aljazeera the thing that. I mean i have time to think and i hear what though and i get hit. There is this thing. Here again. You can almost taste it and. That of the bodies falling anywhere you look bodies upon badens. Human rights watch documented 817 victims but the number may be as high as a 1000. United states strongly condemns. The steps that have been taken by egypts interim government and Security Forces we deplore violence against civilians president obama canceled a joint military exercise and froze part of the 1300000000. 00 in military aid to egypt receives from the u. S. Every year. But l. C. C. Continued his crackdown undeterred. Prison. This my face. I havent a fist youve got to sleep youve got youve got think shifts keeping with people has one bathroom for 50 plus men of course youre so youre forced to strip naked except john know where youre been and your head shaved is totally you really. Have to go on a Hunger Strike because it was the only means of resistance. No hard for 489. They would bring my dad to the next ward have let me hear his screenings and. Come tell me listen this is whats happening here you know we cant. Just break your strike. Theres no more with. No law. In may 2050 with salt on still in prison the Obama Administration formally reported to the u. S. Congress that arbitrary and unlawful killings were taking place in egypt yet at the same time the u. S. Officially resumed military aid to egypt. L. C. C. Remains them and to be reckoned with in cairo. Your hearing concerns from the saudis from the iraqis from the israelis that the freeze in assistance to egypt was counterproductive that they were pleased with that there was a desire to i think address some of their concerns. The United Arab Emirates and saudi arabia invested in l. C. C. From early on. In the weeks after his military takeover the u. A. E. Alone transferred 3000000000. 00 to egypt while the saudis gave a 2000000000. 00 Central Bank Deposit 2000000000. 00 in Energy Products 1000000000. 00 in cash without the very extensive economic support that the Egyptian Military got from the gulf states for example in 2013 i dont know whether they they would have carried out the coup or they would have been able to make a go of it. Saudi arabia support came with a political price. In 2017 l. C. C. Agreed to give the disputed islands of tehran and son a few which sits between. Saudi arabia and egypt Sinai Peninsula to the saudis. The decision was hugely unpopular in egypt and sparks the biggest protests since 2030. But l. C. C. Rode the storm and kept the aid flowing. Egypt has at times or saved much larger sums of money with new allies particularly in the gulf but the aid from the United States is symbolically very important diplomatically very important and its not something they want to see she was able to say that theres a threat from isis you want to defeat it were your partner give us the tools and well take care of this for you and he would make the argument that egypt is too big to fail if egypt does collapse if the islamists run amok or the economy goes down this is going to have disastrous consequences for the region and for europe. The European Union has trying to strike a balance between legitimate security concerns and respect for human rights. But many Member States have adopted a business as usual policy. But unfortunately we still have a very weak Common Ground in europe when it comes to how to deal with egypt. A dutch member of the European Parliament met each a shocker initiated a resolution that condemned Human Rights Violations in egypt however she does that leaders of the influential Member States will form i believe. We very much pointed out that human rights repression violations executions torture censorship closing of n. G. O. S is not acceptable and you want to hear such strong words from that. Say berlin or paris or london very much for 3 years shock a push to get the resolution through the European Parliament besides denouncing the high number of Death Penalty executions and the lack of fair trials in egypt there was another point she stressed. I think weve learned some very important lessons in 20112012 when we found that e. U. Made systems were actually used to track down activists in egypt and so ever since weve been pushing in the European Parliament and ive been leading the efforts on the export controls of Surveillance Systems to make sure that human rights are criteria to measure before an export license is granted and despite this statement of principle we see that in practice such export controls are not really lived up to in fact there are serious questions whether it may be the case that julio regina who was brutally murdered may have been tracked and traced with italian maid systems and software. After the robber massacre and 2013 e. U. Member states agreed to suspend exports to egypt of any equipment that might be used for internal repression. Yet 12 out of 28 e. U. Member states ignored the suspension. Since 2040 italy has a exported weapons to egypt worth some 40000000 euros. Germany has made deals for over 1600000000 euros including light arms and onward vehicles and france has topped all the rest with over 6000000000 euros in sales including combat vehicles like those reportedly used in the above massacre. Left positive in a possible down illegitimate effect little fall deployment or fall when this evolved to prevail or is it all religion that dont really want it since she was old enough to say oh these are the voting is dont all i shall be like that ugh. Very far same song called blue school a prebudget to see dont 25 obviously. Shot to concert only if you take it a spare just because it is pale centers on the kind of democracy a coup sure does islamist dissenters and but will. Post your problem with them or cory booker providing matty exist in it at fed only pure b. S. But it is a you only have even been into. The field is a fail because of what i just went did is it. It dont then im in for some caution except to. Listen to the many of the given him a piece in london those are simply not clearly. So thats i mean they can produce an argument superman so youve got this beside the nail of democracy yet i guess you. Manolo me say if you will of digital. Signal thats all bullet ill say less that. Always deadly violence has been on the rise in egypt is especially in the Sinai Peninsula the Northeast Corner of this remote region has become for european leaders one of the middle easts hottest front lines against all groups the c. C. Government appears to be struggling to contain this threat of Islamic State militants who are based in the sinai and of course now with the effect of collapse of slotnick state power in iraq and syria there are indications that at least some of those fighters are now coming from those areas into the sinai but its hard to know whats really happening in northeast side as the independent media have not been allowed into the area for years. Imagine you feel for. Where they just. Get up. To me about it i get it and thats when i won this thing thats in the cia is that it wont get up out of the im here of the duty. And you know to do and. Im confirmed leagues from the area reveal horrific pictures of the Egyptian Armys brutal crackdown amid increasing concerns for the civilian population. For all the force to point out the Egyptian Army has yet to regain control of the area while armed attacks appear to be spreading throughout t. J. In nov 27th the president announced the final offensive in the school. The school. Sure. To hold. d a lesson. Or to start a little or less sure good news for sure his message is that he is the only thing that is standing between egypt becoming another province of an islamic caliphate and stability and security and safety. In 2016 an attacker deliberately drove his truck into a crowded Christmas Market in berlin with lethal consequences after paris and london this was yet another deadly assault inside a european capital. German chancellor Angela Merkel turned to reject as a party to improve security and counterterrorism signing a cooperation deal in 2017. Im going to be to the fact of the is just man he had a contest to doesnt get him out on. On danzig heights question im in psych the man king criminality for good sort of as a till this morse you are internet based on people mostly given fester to dust in it get. Told how to negate get minutes to whist them and i know because its an elemental that. Germany also looks to l. C. C. To stem the tide of migrants and refugees leaving the middle east and africa for your. Chancellor merkel offered l. C. C. A 500000000. 00 aid package to essentially close off the egyptian to you. To get us filing down to take nationals. And along its all fuss disease i think thats. The underlying well 1st of all starts arguing after a 2nd long. Intense he sent.

Of marker you wouldnt want to have had to collide lawson found in to get rid of it says king deniece to give you a president morsi start so again inside before added some tool for were tired does this at 1st must be endorsement and you need to feel what a democracy of italy and you to become a little of that you know that into a little bit was a terrible idea well. Look it was a lot just to use an inside pool the president. Puts up the shaft hot. Under. The demons you want basti political out of each to his east doesnt seem instant was an off topic comment. Thats. The Berlin Press Conference with the 2 leaders 2 can i run to. A protest by an egyptian medical student was drowned out by as he sees all to chanting. Its a great honor to have with us today president ial c. C. T. V. With Donald Trumps presidency l. C. C. Look forward to friendly relations in washington tunes everything. And. Its no secret that trump has an affinity for dictatorial figures hes explicitly embraced c. C. In public hes called him a strong leader as someone whos really getting stuff done. At the same time russia and egypt have grown closer bloody mia putin and l. C. C. Have visited each other several times with financial deals and military cooperation on the agenda.

In 51015 years. Some in europe have become complacent they have accepted that this is the egypt will have to deal with i think its a mistake i think it will come back as a boomerang. Theres an enormous amount of young people in egypt the dont have enough perspectives they dont have enough perspectives for a prosperous life a life they can shape the way they would like they are the future and they should be at the heart and at the core of what the e.
