With people rushing home this was forlorn. Ousted,e night he was this place shook with joy as millions of egyptians believed they would get a fresh start and they would build a new egypt. That seems like a long time ago. For those same egyptians this is depressingly symbolic that at a time when his Security State seems to be reborn, the man who presided over it has now been released from prison. Close by, demonstrators lay in the gutter, at the bridge where the protesters were killed. President , the old more than any other event, kick started the arab uprising. Raisedstrator in a mask a hollow laugh at what had become of them. Reporting there from cairo. For more on todays release in the future of egypt, i spoke with the u. S. Ambassador to bahrain. There are two schools of thought about what america should do on egypt. One of them is to stand up and back these protests, and the other is to hold our cards close to our chest because we dont know what will happen. The United States should exercise strategic patients. People in the United States are troubled by what they see on violence, and by this however, this is a process that will take a long time to play out. We should hold our fire and encourage the Egyptian Government to work through state institutions and to support those institutions. To not take steps to undermine them and limit the ability to work through these issues. Moment,uggest at the the best course is stability even with the control of the military. I dont see that as the choice. But the military has a role to play. This is a pillar of the egyptian state. With the judiciary and the legislature. Mohamed morsi neutered the judiciary and the legislative, leaving the military. The choice is between the big states and. It is in our interest and the interest of the friends of egypt to support the big state. You know how tenuous americas reputation is in this part of the world. Saying, like america is democracy is great unless it comes up with answers we dont like. This, the way to put United States has ended up with lead. Course do notdle support one side or the other side. And instead we talked about principles and tolerance. As a result we have alienated everybody. The military, who say you are not with us. We have alienated the brotherhood who say that you say you are for democracy but look what you do when it happens. This is not just egypt. This is every regime in power. They question the constancy of the United States as a partner. That leaves america in a very tricky position. We will have you back to continue this discussion. Thank you very much. The United Nations is making a for more west to the Syrian Government to allow you inspectors to inspect the scene of a suspected chemical weapons attack. Were hundreds of civilians are reported to have been killed. Activists say that men, women and children were gassed in the suburbs of damascus. France says that the world should respond in force if this is verified. A team of inspectors has have so far been kept away. What have we learned so far about this attack and whether chemical weapons were used . We have been looking back at these videos. Some viewers may find this report distressing. There has been more time to digest the video footage of these Chemical Attacks in syria. And look more closely at what this can tell us. We have a slightly clearer picture beginning to emerge, to help us understand what may have happened in the small hours of wednesday morning in the suburbs of damascus. The first thing we are clear about is the likely timeline. This video tells us that these vehicles rushing from bombarded areas, it was pitch black and the middle of the night. It was still dark when these victims were laid out on the pavement, perhaps led by vehicle headlights so they could be washed down. Chemicalried to remove traces and relieve their symptoms. Even more precise timing comes from facebook. The three main syrian pages the first mention of chemical weapons was 2 45 a. M. Local time. Later, a second post raised this alert. Forces are shelling the city using chemical weapons. The third came minutes after. So what did all of these people go through . Eyewitness accounts come from those who survived. Some of them very small, like this little boy. We were asleep when we were hit. Eyes,her was closing our it was burning. My father saw a dead body outside as we exited the house. My mother fainted and my father started crying. He put me in the car and the car left. I dont know where he is or where any of the mark. Where the attacks took place is also the coming more clear. Time and again, this is the agricultural belt that is mentioned, especially the towns and to the west of damascus, the town of overwhelming, distressing testimony of the video, an overview of symptoms. No outward sign of blood or lacerations. The people who could barely breathe. This man seems to be having convulsions. Some had glazed eyes. The pupils apparently contracted. Was all of this caused by chemical weapons used on a huge scale against civilians . Or should these images not be taken at face value . The number of people who seem to be affected and the consistency of the symptoms, this is a staggering enterprise to fake, and also very easily found out once an investigation takes place. There is no footage of the bombardment. These pictures came from later in the day. At this video may give us clue of the delivery system. Found apparently after the attack. And nearby, dead animals that seem to have been asphyxiated. These are pieced together from unverified footage, in a conflict where propaganda is intense and the potential for fabrication cannot be underestimated. Looking at video footage like this can only change so much. There will not be full clarity and till experts and chemical weapons use are allowed on the ground to make their own assessment. Crucial evidence may disappear and we may never work out completely what really happened and who was responsible. For more background and analysis of this attack, you can go to our website. Bbc. Com syria. From there the sooner the inspectors get to that side we will have answers to those questions. Caused anl problem end to trading on nasdaq for three hours.

Today, we discussed the disgraced politician bo xilai said that the charges were laughable. Strong words from a country not known from them. His wife was convicted of the murder of businessman neil heyward is accused of taking millions of dollars in bribes. Spoke to the senior fellow at the u. S. China institute. This script may have been written in the outcome, but i suspect the chinese authorities were not expecting such a combative bo xilai. Buthey probably werent they are trying to walk a very delicate line with this trial. On the one hand they have to show that he committed crimes and is guilty, but on the other hand they have to show that this is a reasonably fair and open proceedings. So it may not be altogether bad for them if he, unlike his wife and the police chief that he fired, who appeared in court, with their heads down it may not be a bad thing if he is a little bit feisty. The outcome is preordained. Whatever he says in court is not going to make a difference he will be found guilty. I think one question that does arise, is that they still have a certain amount of support in china, both where he was the communist party secretary, and in the big northeastern city where and he has a lot of supporters among the new left in china. He seems to be standing up to hold his ground it may generate some support for him which could create political problems for the leadership. Is there a genuine attempt on behalf of the new chinese leadership, which has mentioned corruption is a problem, to say that we have to take someone who was famous and wellknown and show that we are not going to tolerate corruption . Or is this being kept a little bit naive in the state of chinese politics . The current chinese president has made going after corruption one of his top priorities. To show that somebody who is very senior in the leadership is not immune from prosecution. It will certainly help the Chinese Government make the point that they are getting tough. At the same time, the evidence and testimony paints a pretty unsavory picture of the way that things seem to work at the top in china. Rich businessman accused of offering favors and bribes to senior officials. Many chinese will recognize that this is not exclusively true in this case, this is common in much of china. The leadership is trying to address corruption. This is a corruptive issue that goes to the heart of their legitimacy and ability to rule the country.

Suarez president obama took aim at the soaring cost of college today with an ambitious plan to rate schools and link tuition prices to federal financial aid. A Higher Education is the single best investment you can make in your future. Suarez the president unveiled his proposal before a crowd of more than 7,000 at the university of buffalo, in upstate new york. At a time when a Higher Education has never been more important or more expensive, too many students are facing a choice that they should never have to make. Either they say no to college and pay the price for not getting a degree and thats a price that lasts a lifetime or you do what it takes to go to college, but then you run the risk that you wont be able to pay it off because you got so much debt. Suarez according to the administration, tuition at four year public universities has risen 250 over the past three decades, even as the average Family Income has risen just 16 . Thats led to students taking on more debt today the average student loan borrower graduates with more than 26,000 to pay off
