Deals and commitments towards a trade agreement says u. S. President donald trump wraps up his visit to india. And get in the war wounded in south sudan back on their feet finding a Rehabilitation Center is a barrier for many. Hosni mubarak the egyptian president aristide from power during the arab spring uprisings has died at the age of 91 he passed away in a car or hospital where hed recently undergone surgery the current president of the fatah sisi is among those often tributes to mubarak this overthrow catapulted egypt since a years old cael slower birdman they look back now on the late show with his life and legacy. Maintained a firm grip on power in egypt for 3 decades until finally in 2011 the people had in the millions took to the streets hundreds were killed but after 18 days this used to how much president Mohamed Hosni mubarak. Has the cited wave the office of the president of the public. Crowds reacted as they heard the news that the man with an iron fist down. The military council took the reins of power but it was from the bullet train the bark had originally risen to power. A former chief in 1973 he led an air campaign the regain the Sinai Peninsula from israel it has been a humiliating loss in the 967 war president anwar sadats made him vice president. Mubarak was just meters away from sadat when he was shot dead in 1990. 8 days later. Became president almost immediately he implemented emergency laws giving the state sweeping powers of arrest and cousin basic freedoms that would remain in place for his entire presidency there were a number of assassination attempts like this one during a visit to ethiopia. In the mid 1990 s. Nearly 60 people were killed in luxor. Mubarak cracked down rounding up thousands of suspects from the inside many egyptians considered its rule oppressive although he won 4 elections there were allegations of fraud but he continued to impress many in the Global Political arena as he made International Diplomacy a cornerstone of his rule. To secure a steady flow of oil supplies into World Markets and brokered deals between the palestinians and the israelis the americans enlisted support of 2 major allies saudi arabia and egypt the saudi kingdom use its financial power and egypt under mubarak use its political leverage to influence arab League Decisions the strategy paid off and he received crucial u. S. Military aid with billions of dollars. But unflinching western support from a barak soon faded for the arab spring began mubarak was arrested and charged with corruption and abuse of power in 2012 he was sentenced to life in prison the failing to stop the killing of hundreds of protesters after a retrial mubarak was acquitted in 2017 but his legacy has endured with the current regime led by another military figure. Using similar hardline tactics to crackdown on dissent in order to stay in power. Well jim joins us live from the capital tunis jamal you convert the protests that brought about the ends of that sorry decade long rule was your last impression from that period. An expression of. Disappointments by egyptians who had felt they deserved better instead under the rule of Hosni Mubarak not only got poorer and poorer but also got a lot more safe it was translated when the troll was january the 25th the day that the mubarak regime and government had dedicated to celebrate the police they chose that day to actually oppose and express their anger and rejection to what they saw as 3 decades of or thought syrian an autocratic rule thats probably looking at how to evaluate mubaraks legacy the best and probably most eye towards a valuation is looking at those 18 days looking at you know why a crosssection of society from all the different political and religious backgrounds from all the different economic backgrounds from all different ages and genders that took part in the streets the gathered in Tahrir Square in alexandria and suez mahal and so forth that is probably the best assessment of the mubarak regime because in it you will find people who are either young and felt that they had no future in an egypt that was ruled with such authoritarianism or that had very little Economic Prosperity you found older people who were struggling to put needs to provide for their families you have those from all those different sections who essentially realized that the only way to maybe make their life a bit better was to force out the president s. Life there from this thank you. But were getting more reaction now from regional leaders Palestinian Leader Mahmoud Abbas has praised mubaraks commitments to the palestinian cause and israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu held beliefs egyptian leader for his pursuit of course peace and security there is. On behalf of the people of israel i wish to express deep sorrow over the death of president Hosni Mubarak he was a personal friend of mine a leader to lead his people to peace and security to peace with israel i met him many times and i was impressed with his commitment and we will continue to walk this joint path i wish to send condolences to president elsisi the mubarak family and all the egyptian people as well as being that small and bashar he sounds as era senior political analyst and author of the book the invisible arab the promise of and peril of the arab revolutions he joins us live from paris kids have you with us again marwan we heard them from Benjamin Netanyahu expressing his deep sorrow do you feel that deep sorrow will be shared by the people of egypt. Who certainly this would be the most damning thing that egyptians and the rest of the arab world would hear is a compliment. A serious compliment from the racist as the arabs and the palestinian and the leading american president ial candidate called him saying nice things about mubarak what the sin think i should go for a president a bus whos been a hostage of the Peace Process and whose only refuge has been egypt so all in all of the failed Peace Process and the situation we are in today is partially partially the responsibility of Hosni Mubarak because customer bar was the leader of the most important arab country and the partner or with israel and the palestinians in this Peace Process and basically was israels side it was americas main client in the region especially on the Peace Process issues but mubarak has allowed israel after. Egypt signed the Peace Agreement with israel it allowed izard to basically destroy much of lebanon in 1802. 00 it basically just allowed it to repress the palestinian intifada in 1987 and it just basically went on afterwards to legitimize one annex ation one settlement after another by israel so for all practical matter egypt small barak was an accomplice of israel in its annexation and destruction of much of the palestinian livelihood. And in terms of the legacy that he leaves for the people of egypt itself what do you think the key markers that we should be drawing attention see on this day he was after all the president for over 30 years what legacy has he left behind for the people of egypt and i. Look there was no doubt about the fact that he was an autocrat that rigged every single election since 1980 and basically ruled the country with some corrupt elite and the military but he was and he did call the decisions within the country basically the army interested him with the leadership of egypt and hence we have this authoritarian leader that could be compared and should be compared with other Leaders Within the area like say for example syrias assad or iraq saddam or libyas khadafi in comparison to them he was far less meaning he was far less depressive and far over at the state or in the sense of dictating every single aspect of life in the country egyptians were to some degree able to lead their own social if you kitchen or Cultural Affairs intertainment affairs and what have you i dont like in countries like syria or libya so there is a certain margin of liberalism within the society within the market economy but in terms of ruling the country this was an autocrat that left 0. Margin for other parties to be able to rule or compete fairly in the country i came to charlotte 0 senior political analyst joining us from paris thank you.

Now irans Deputy Health minister has tested positive for corona virus a day after holding a press Conference Announcing a surge in cases there in russia ricci was standing next to irans government spokesman and occasionally seen coughing and sweating profusely he denies a claim that the Health Ministry was downplaying the death toll iran has reported 15 fatalities and nearly 100. 00 and factions. Because somebody to love him but if a man came along or a father i just wanted to tell you that i carries a coronavirus as well yesterday i had a fever and late last night the results of my preliminary test was positive since last night ive isolated myself a while ago i was informed that my test has been confirmed and its positive my general condition is not bad i assure you that with the efforts of the Health Ministry officials and with the people support in the next few weeks we will defeat the virus to rest assured of that. Meanwhile many countries bordering iran a company town on visitors from their circus Airlines Flight from iran has been dying viruses because of a suspected corona virus carrier on boards the flight from to hans istanbul lenses in turkeys capital ankara states so his Health Minister says 130000 passengers and crew will be quarantined for 2 weeks. Though amman and the United Arab Emirates have suspended some transport channels with iran is a key Health Official as we mentioned has tested positive for the virus for more on this lets bring in said big hes a seron for us as the pretty astonishing developments it does have to be said. Reacting to this news that one of their own government ministers this contract at this deadly virus. Absolutely astonishing now he gave this press conference yesterday standing next to the government Spokes Person and even yesterday some were questioning whether he was feeling ok and it seems he has been infected by the crown of ours now many iranians are taking to social media and questioning whether the Government Spokesperson. Who is standing next to him has been infected by the corner virus and remember that rumors full of full of politicians and members of the press the Government Spokesperson has contact with the president of this country has contact with the cabinet so potentially we could have the iranian government all in contact with the corner of virus and possibly infected by it and right now the figure of infected the official figure is 95 the death toll is 15 and people are questioning the official government account but it is absolutely astonishing that the Deputy Health minister who has denied that even half of 1525 people had died he said if even 25 people have died he would hand in his resignation that was in response to the parliamentarian from city of the epicenter of the spread of the crown of us here in iran who had come out and said that 50 people have died and the government was effectively covering up the extent of the spread of the virus now that parliamentarian again us come out today and he said he said that people are being buried in cemeteries in palm and that the government is still in denial and hes challenging the government he said he sent names of the dead to the government and also said that the doctors are writing down the cause of death is respiratory problems where in fact everyone knows that these people that are dying are coming out of the quarantine ward for coronavirus now many are Wearing Masks and gloves theres fewer people out on the streets and universities remain closed some cafes and gyms have closed public gatherings and such as. Concerts Film Screenings football matches have been cancelled but iranian people are looking to the government for guidance and right now one of the ministers has been affected by the coronavirus and this comes on the same day as president rouhani seemed to downplay the spread of the virus he said it was a bad. Flu virus that has had the countrys dealt with in the past and that people should not panic and they should take the advice of the Health Ministry you know thats really bizarre because dipsy minister from the Health Ministry has been infected so the ringing people are question the official account they want to know how many people have been affected have this virus has spread and what the actual number of dead is because many people ive spoken to seem to believe that its way higher than 50 ok their life is and thank you. Those cases around the world increased there are fears about the Global Implications over the corona Virus Outbreak analysts will be watching u. S. Markets as theyre opening a set to open in just less than an hours time after share prices in asia and to europe tick for White House Correspondent Kimberly Holcomb joins me now from washington d c once again kimberly all eyes on the states yeah and the americans increasingly nervous as you pointed out the stock market and the concerns that happened on monday certainly didnt help and now that u. S. President donald trump finding himself in the position of trying to contain those fears as they continue to rise the u. S. President monday tweeted that things were very much under control but at the same time the white house submitted a funding request to the u. S. Congress for 2500000000. 00 in order to try and fight the virus one that democrats have called holy insufficient in terms of the funding requested even incompetent now the u. S. President speaking as he wrapped up his trip from india is still working to downplay those fears. If its going to work out fine hope so well working very hard were spending a tremendous amount of money also on we just says for 2. 00 and a half 1000000000. 00 on getting everything ready just in case something should happen and also helping other nations that really arent equipped to do it now in terms of that funding request the money to be used for Vaccine Development protective equipment even treatment but again Many Americans not feeling confident in the strategy of the United States government right now they not only point to the very troubling signs of the evacuation of some infected americans brought back to the United States put on the same plane over the weekend with those who were healthy separated only by flimsy plastic sheeting but also Many Americans not feeling entirely comfortable about having those that are infected and being evacuated brought to the United States in their home states and cities so again a lot of trouble and fear about what the nervousness the misunderstanding surrounding the virus the government trying to contain it but so far not doing a very effective job in terms of quelling the nervousness of ordinary americans can really hold at that last in d.
