it's still early in cairo egypt. it's going to be regulatory in understanding the speech last night. >> he'll be installed as interim president. what do we know about this man? >> not a lot. there's speculation about his background. he's someone who was appointed by mubarak. again, as with everything else in the process, more questions than answers. >> what do you make of the reaction from the international community? let's start off with you. >> i think the u.s., as you mentioned, the statements from barack obama last night has been conscious and restrained, which many people think is quite smart in reaction to the fluid nature of events right now. the international community is waiting to see. this is something unprecedented. this is something very different. a new permeation. >> unprecedented. egypt's revolution. you couldn't call it democracy as those in the west would know it. what we have seen is an effective military coup. we have seen the removal of a democratically elected president after only a year because

we look forward to their effective on the situation in egypt and the ramifications for egypt and the united states. the situation in egypt has tremendous implications for the united states. our response must be carefully calibrated. at the same time, support u.s. national security interest in the region. these two goals are, in my view, not at odds with one another. they do require a complex policy response that allows us to advocate for much-needed democratic reforms while also ensuring our own security needs. at the end of the day, our policy and our laws must be nuanced enough to allow for a response that reflects our interests. it is my view that terminating u.s. assistance at this time could provoke a further crisis in egypt that would not be to our benefit. having said that, the future of our relationship with egypt will be determined by our actions in the coming weeks. whether we will have a stable and willing partner in crucial matters of security, combating terrorism, trafficking of weapons and people, support for peace in the middle east. lternatively, we can stand aside du

of egypt. coming over or you can the military bring democracy to egypt can military bring democracy to the middle east. well it's theoretically possible someplace that some time that that. it happened but certainly that's not very likely in egypt and you can put me down as a a skeptic with regard to the rhetoric of democracy and the arab spring with regard to u.s. and western policy the problem that i see is that that has really been a cover for the the exertion of u.s. policy the interests of u.s. policy in egypt and elsewhere in the region and of the case of egypt this is nowhere better illustrated than the the term that i've been hearing in washington the last few days coups volution the idea that you know the the effort to portray what happened in the egyptian military takeover as somehow a revolution rather than a coup d'etat and the reality of course is that that this is indeed the reassertion of the military's power and influence in gyptian society and their effort to guide that society

he will create a of technocrates to try and get egypt back up on its feet, tie to get egypt back on the right path in its transition to democracy but more importantly to try to get day to day governs right on the right track. it is going to be extremely important to see what kind of government he creates in the early days of had his administration although it is an interim one, it is a very important one. >> let's quickly bring in michael o'hanlon at the brookings institution, and former ambassador to morocco mark ginsburg. michael, back in 2011 when we saw the first arab spring and the protests in egypt that ousted mubarak, there was a chant on the street the army and the people are one. now the army is being put forward as the guarantors of emerging democracy in this country. does it strike you you still have so much power in the military essentially to create regime change? >> well, you know, it's a great question although the army now says it's acting on behalf of the people. let's bear in mind these demonstrations in egypt in the last few days have frankly not only been big but amo

involved in this scenario they want to stabilize the situation inside of egypt they want to ensure that whatever government that comes to power in egypt maintains the camp david accords of one thousand nine hundred eighty nine hundred seventy nine their utmost concern is the security of the state of israel right across the border from egypt and i think this is a cause of concern on the part of the egyptian people but this is the same military that has been funded by the united states now for over thirty years who now is claiming that they're going to set up and establish an interim governing council academy thank you very much indeed i.b.m. as a key editor of the pan-african you with your immediate reaction to events that encourage thank you very much in the few times you this is r.t. coming up shortly cross talk with peter novell on the unrest in egypt and more news from the country in half an hour with me and the nice thing. i would rather as questions for people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on

some even in egypt wouldn't have heard of him. but he is an interim president going forward until the new parliamentary and presidential elections. what of the former president, mohamed morsi? where is he this hour? >> well, we're hearing right now is that he is under house arrest. and we're also hearing that from the state news agency, that they're also rounding "up" to 300 other members of the muslim brotherhood. the head of human rights watch here in egypt has expressed concern over this, that this isn't what a democratic transition should look like. also a lot of concern over the closure of tv stations that supported president morsi. >> so what you're seeing is a military and a transitional board, as it were, saying this is by no means a coup, this is intervention for the good of the country. but it's from those who support the muslim brotherhood, which is the party that backed the former president, they say this is a coup in everything but name. >> that's exactly right. by definition what we saw yesterday was a coup. but if y

policy in egypt and elsewhere in the region and of the case of egypt this is nowhere better illustrated than the the term that i've been hearing in washington the last few days coups volution the idea that you know the the effort to portray what happened in the egyptian military takeover as somehow a revolution rather than a coup d'etat and the reality of course is that that this is indeed the reassertion of the military's power and influence in gyptian society and their effort to guide that society in a direction that is going to preserve the military's interests including its very large control over parts of the egyptian economy so i mean this is to me a perfect illustration of the problems that go along with presenting the politics in the middle east in terms of some sort of march toward democracy this is really you know this is covering up the fundamental issues and problems that are primary in the region and it's not just you know the egyptian military it's elsewhere in the region you have the sunni versus shia as the primary problem and western interest in continuing to maintain t

aid to egypt. the american law says you cannot give assistance to a country that has had their government deposed by a coup. the u.s. gives $1.30 billion a year to the egyptian military, about a quarter of the budget. it helps maintain egypt's -- have you sustain that in the current environment? how you win congressional support for having an unchanged relationship with egypt? >> senator patrick leahy is the chairman of the senate subcommittee that oversees foreign aid. he says they are going to repeat that aid now. presumably what washington wants is a pragmatic response. >> the reality of the law says you cannot obligate funds to the government. then you say it is not a coup. >> i don't know how you make that case. it felt to me like the army telling it mubarak he had to go was a coup, and this is a coup. you can put a government in power, but it is very hard for the military to make a case that you have a freestanding governor that will really pass scrutiny. >> thank you very much for joining me

hello and welcome to crossfire all things are considered i'm peter lavelle egypt on the brink a year after becoming president mohamed morsi and his democratically elected muslim brotherhood face massive protests and social upheaval as one revolution ended in another started opposition figures have asked the military to step in to restore order if the military again becomes the key power broker in egypt what does this mean for democracy in the arab muslim world. to cross out tensions in egypt i'm joined by brian jones in new york he is a marine corps vet and a military and defense writer for business insider and in london we cross the car line rumi she is a research councils u.k. global uncertainties leadership fellow you're right folks crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i very much encourage it carolina fine go to you first here it looks like the military is performing a coup in egypt is that good for anybody. well i don't know if it's a coup as yet i think various options still remain open as to. whether there might be people prepared to work w

that was the real problem in egypt.morsi got elected with barely 51% of the vote, he acted like a dictator. as a result, there were no checks and balances within a system that enabled his opponents to feel they had a stake in the success of the new revolution that took place. that's going to be the key here as it is across the region where we're seeing the same saga plague out where there had been revolutions and where there had been inadequate civil institutions to put a check on the grab for power that occurred at the ballot box. >> that's an excellent point, ambassador. i always find myself when one party takes over from it the other party in terms of the oval office in this country, i just look around and say, wow, we can do that nonviolently, even though a lot of people are unhappy, millions of people unhappy. we make those changes nonviolently. that's hard to do when you don't have a long tradition of democracy. richard, what do you think about that question of might the military actually not abdicate and maybe on

christians throughout egypt are asking for prayer for egypt's future.hris mitchell, cairo, egypt. >> george: egypt's christians may be rejoicing, but that joy is tempered by fears of a backlash against their community. mohammed morsi's supporters are outraged that christian leaders publicly supported his removal, and they're taking their anger out on the christian community. the voice of the martyrs reports muslim extremists in southern egypt burned dozens of christian homes and destroyed a church. in other parts of the country, at least three churches have been burned. and at least 11 believers have been killed. one of those killed was a coptic christian priest. 39-year-old father mina abud was shot in the head at an outdoor market. it happened in the town of al-arish, near the gaza border. he was killed after muslim brotherhood criticized the new coptic pope for backing the removal of morsi. in the past, egyptian christians have stayed under the radar, not participating in political or social movements for fear of reprisals. >> wendy: samuel toddros s

keep in mind in egypt, it is not egypt. it is the military. the egypt military. they have been our friends. they have been israel's friends for years and years and years. since 1979. and if we turn our backs on the military now, there are others who would love to fill that vacuum. should they have f-16's, i'm glad they have f-16's. they ought to have more f-16's, and some have been purchased and not delivered yet. they should be delivered. but if it's not going to be f-16's, if we should pass an amendment like this, you're going to find yourself with a bunch of mig-29's coming over from russia instead of our f-16's. if this were 10 years ago, if this were 15 years ago, i might agree with my friend from kentucky, but that was before we realized the threats that we have in the middle east. we have some friends in the middle east. we have israel, we have jordan. we have kuwait, u.a.e., qatar, saudi arabia. if that group of friends in the middle east breaks up, what can happen to us here in america? our intelligence has said, and it's unclassified since 2007, that ir

the army is also a key economic factor in egypt. whether it is tourism, construction, or heavy industry, the army is involved in every level. as the largest employer, that gives the army chiefs huge power. it was president mohamed morsi appointed him to his post. but he has now distanced himself from the president warning that he will not allow egypt to be plunged into what he called "a dark tunnel." >> we are happy to have our middle east expert. we have breaking news coming in, miguel, that mohamed morsi can no longer be president according to the military in a state run newspaper. is this unexpected development? >> in a way, it is. they made it very clear that the ultimatum set has run out. four hours after the ultimatum has ended, now there is a real coup d'État in egypt. they are seizing power from the democratically elected president and this is a major landmark in contemporary egyptian history. it is the first democratically elect a president being toppled by the military after just one year and power. >> you would say this m

egypt. communication outlets have been silenced and the crowd are now back in tahrir square. president obama met today with members of his national security team to discuss the situation in egypt, but why does egypt matter so much to the united states right now? how much should americans be concerned about the overthrow of an elected leader? our foreign affairs correspondent jill dougherty is joining us right now. she's got some answers. the president spent a lot of this july 4th meeting with his top security advisers because for the u.s., for the entire region, the stakes are huge. >> they are. you know, wolf, americans have a big investment in egypt, whether they know it or not. egypt is a linchpin of the middle east, the largest arab country in the world. a cultural heavyweight with 83 million people. islamic fundamentalism, even al qaeda, have their roots in egypt. egypt is america's closest ally in the american world. they get $1.5 billion for military and civilian programs. >> if this

egypt that evolution has well. he's can go to mass because it was here as we'll. do you still strong so what. you're going to sell the people of egypt over to their own government i didn't but some humor of called your supporters to come out this streets and fight even if it leads to bloodshed more people died in recent events than in the whole year under morsi. this is entirely wrong i think charlie. we represent the egyptian people. and we are defending our democratic choice and our votes and secondly we are doing it through peaceful means only and aligning peaceful means only not at all for we are not at threatening anyone and we don't tolerate threats to criminals that stage this kind are responsible for all the blood spilled on the streets full disrespecting the people as we always are and foremost accusing those that are just trying to peacefully defend their votes however the. revolution has been peacefully and since day one the laws of no no one is threatening and i'm one. of the ones responsible for the bl

this was not the case in egypt two years ago. this is a real cause for concern looking ahead to the short to medium-term. >> you you have said that president morsi has failed ordinary people. in many cases, they have gotten worse. given that situation, should he have been allowed to cling on? best ofs not the presidents, but his argument would be that he had the judiciary, the media, the military stacked against him and of course a divided opposition. this would be along the lines of reforms that he had promised before he came into power. why the a reason egyptians elected a four-year term presidency. at least two and a half years. it is up to him as elected president to resign. this is supposed to be a democracy. i think those institutional imbalances are at the core of the kind of chaos that we will see unfold in egypt. >> what if the muslim brotherhood is not participate in the new political system? >> that is an excellent question. this is a vengeful grumpy response the day after their man was ousted from power. they are all

to you first in washington is egypt in a process of self-destruction after this. no not at all but i can understand why you would say that i find the coverage of the events which by the way i would call the continuing revolution rather than a coup baffling to me i find so many people here who have actually never even heard of the grass roots use lead movement from a road which is the reason that millions and millions and millions of people egyptians came out onto the streets last sunday to protest the rule of mohamed morsi would you agree. would you agree to a coup military coup no i would not agree and i would not agree or i would put it this way if this is who. was the two thousand and eleven revolution because it's exactly the same as what happened in two thousand and eleven ok so you didn't. go ahead. it's completely different because mubarak did not come through elections he was a dictator he was a tyrant he imposed himself and he was happy to be backed up by the army in fact the army backed him up to the hilt it is the army who are running the show they are

egypt upheaval.y coup. >>> the prosecution nears the end of its case. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. you're in the situation room. >>> we're following the major breaking news. a coup in egypt. the country's first democratically elected president ousted a few hours ago by the country's powerful. hundreds of thousands if not millions of people on the streets of cairo. it's now midnight there. political shock waves are being felt throughout the middle east all the way to washington and beyond. there are certainly tremendous implications for the united states, for europe, for the region. so much going on. the u.s. don't forget providing egypt with about a billion and a half dollars a year. 1$1.5 billion in military and economic stance. we have correspondents covering this story. history unfolding. they're watching what's going on and anticipating a very, very angry reaction from president morsi's supporters. two major demonstrations happening right now in cairo.

we begin with the crises in egypt. all day long the world has watched as this life or death drama unfolded, a nation so key to the united states hanging in the balance. you're looking live at tahrir square, the heart of the uprising. it is filled with celebrations tonight now that the president has been ousted, but there is also fear that there will be bloodshed. the president's supporters will not give in easily. they are vowing revenge. the images of this day tell the story. the people of egypt demanding their president step aside. the military stepping in, weapons drawn. and here is the very latest. the egyptian military is effectively in control. the u.s. state department is now urging all americans to leave egypt. we will explore what all this means to the u.s. which relies so heavily on egypt to bring stability to such a dangerous region. our team is spanned out across the globe, but our coverage of this crises in egypt begins with abc's alex marquardt in the center of it all in cairo. >> reporter: you can hear t

to cross-talk the chaos in egypt i'm joined by cynthia schneider in washington she is a professor at georgetown university and a senior nonresident fellow with the brookings institution we also have jeffrey ingersoll in new york he is a defense reporter with business insider and in london we cross to say to lisa he's a political analyst and writer all right crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i very much appreciate it cynthia franco to you first in washington is egypt in a process of self-destruction after this coup. no not at all but i can understand why you would say that i find coverage of the events which by the way i would call the continuing revolution rather than a coup baffling to me i find so many people here who have actually never even heard of the grass roots use lead movement from a road which is the reason that millions and millions and millions of people egyptians came out into the streets last sunday to protest the rule of mohamed morsi would you agree this was a king would you agree to cool military coup no i would not agree and

egypt. we are defending the revolutionary cause presidency in egypt is an institutional there was a stamp list by the will of the people of the revolution today's situation is not just the president's problem. it is a violation of the people's will the constitution that the people voted for and it goes against the lawfully elected president the president all these institutions have been because of the coup this cannot be justified the egyptian people can't just be observers those who organized the coup shouldn't think. and they succeeded against the will of the people and this will never happen. after the twenty fifth of january. one got with the help of a lot about the hands of the people. not some it's like a bloody regime. so you're saying you're not hiding but it was so hard to arrange an interview with you there was so much secrecy around it what your saying so does it mean that you can be seen in the streets every day with your supporters. yes of course. we're square with i'm on the st

the military in egypt does not want to rule egypt. they saw how martial law went for 16 months. it was a disaster. there were large crowds that over through the egyptian military in essence when they were mismanaging things for 16 months. the military in egypt, however, is the only institution that is seen as viable at this point. and we have seen some reports among israel among other places suggesting that israeli's leaders are also pleased that the egyptian military took this step. they never were comfortable with president morsi and the muslim brotherhood in charge of egypt. i also heard from sources here in washington that the saudi arabian government is very pleased that this has taken place. they obviously will not be pleased if the military holds on to power or if a civil war erupts. but this was the only option at this point in time according to u.s. officials that i have spoken to and from reports from the region from israel and saudi arabia. >> the liberal leader, whom we heard so much from the 2011 uprising happened. he just said and i quote the 2011 revolution has be

the focus is now on egypt surely the u.s. has decided to go ahead with the delivery of four fighter jets to egypt despite president obama's order to review military aid to cairo this comes at a time of deep divisions in the country were emotions are running high after the overthrow of president mohamed morsi last week let's take a closer look shall we america. in the country in twenty eleven when hosni mubarak was still in office egypt received one point three billion dollars worth of military aid plus a much smaller two hundred fifty million dollar economic support package but it was then ousted and in twenty twelve mohamed morsi became the new president is muslim brotherhood movement the approval of the u.s. government which continued to provide the same amount of aid and that aid situation remains largely unchanged despite the political turmoil gripping egypt and the lack of a legitimate government now if america's plans remain unchanged the support will continue next year too but none of that cash has improved the lives o

there is a security crisis in egypt. they need to get the police back in the streets and there is also an economic crisis and he needs to turn around this economy and really give it a jump start to people feel the benefits quickly. >> and in all likelihood he is really not going to be the one to do t he is really a place holder by all accounts until there are elections speaking of which the timetable is all important here, the last time the military stepped in, hosni mubarak went out and they hung around way too long and way too gong to get to elections. what sense of urgency is there they will move to an election process in the very near future and if they're arresting all the muslim brotherhood where is the inclusiveness. >> that's exactly right. starting with the muslim brotherhood they're going to have to be inclusive eventually. the muslim brotherhood still is a significant part of society. you cannot marginalize a section of society. you have to be inclusive. there is going to be have to be a dialog between the two

law means for aid to zript egypt. the u.s. will stand with the egyptian people as democracy proceeds. so a fairly mildly worded statement considering the events that have transpired on the grounds in egypt, but i think it's interesting he is sending a message to the army that president morsi should not be arrested or his supporters. if the president is making this statement publicly through the media, then he is obviously having his people make it strongly on the phone to their counterparts in egypt. >> let's bring you a reminder of the headlines on the top story of the coup in egypt. president morsi has been deposed and the constitution has been suspended ahead of the constitutional court. mansour has been declared the interim leader. muslim brotherhood says authority of holding the deposed president and two leaders of the party. morsi has called the military's action says the law must be respected. and proponents -- opponents of has been iy celebrating. senior political analyst joins us now here in the studio. one of the key

egypt gave us the ayman al-zawahiri, so egypt is no stranger to extremism. there's a risk that if we disempower the muslim brotherhood from its four year term -- and to be fair to the brotherhood they have upheld the treaty with israel, they have been on balanced terms with the united states and they should be allowed to see out their four year term and if they fail, let them fail at the ballot box. >> rose: why do you think there are so many people in the streets? >> there are real issues as to why people are in the streets, including fuel shortages, including -- >> rose: islamic protests, do you think? >> to some extent. and at another level it's the fact that the brotherhood has isolated the opposition and the opposition hasn't been playing ball the way it should be. professor is ajami is right that they've failed at the boston red sox box on five different occasion and there is a feeling of sour grapes but the way to bring down an elected government isn't through mob violence at the streets but contest them at the next election. >> rose: these events go

what exactly does seem as if a minute is under way i mean egypt disappointed. to be egyptian president mohamed morsi as well as person of the muslim brotherhood and now we are hearing that the state television and the state media and state newspaper i think the same thing now communication with president morsi has been kept the army has a right to. barriers around the barracks way he said to be working we also been told that an international travel ban has been imposed on morsi and have a high profile muslim brotherhood supporters we are however receiving conflicting reports as to whether or not he is under house arrest his spokesperson has denied this the state television is now in the hands of the army as well as the republican guard no word from morsi from avonlea the compassionate traits he gave last night which is causing many here to ask the question where is he exactly there has been an update on his facebook page in which iterates if you reject the army's ultimatum and at the same time he calls for a consensus government and a consensus prime minister t
