you were born in egypt, you spent time in egypt, and then you left egypt and you went to london, if i'm not mistaken, and then you left london and you went to saudi arabia. >> yeah. >> hinojosa: you were being raised in a family that was teaching you your belief in islam, whi was that meand women are equal. >> yeah, because i saw that in the life that my parents led. my parents met in medical school in cairo, so they were both physicians, they both did their graduate studies together, and the reason that we moved to london was so that both my parents could do their ph.d.s in medicine. so i grew up in a house where the role models were a man and a woman, professional equals and partners in a marriage that they had to kind of mold along the way, because when we moved to london, my mom would tell my dad, "you know what? the dishwashing, the bed-making, the taking the kids to school, we've got to do it together here, because we have no help, no extended family, no nannies. we're in this together." >> hinojosa: and your dad, a devout muslim, was saying what to your mom?

egypt says the missing president moves to assert his power over the military as he sags both the defense minister and the chief of staff have made a growing militant presence in the sinai. and with the region in chaos isolated israel is taking steps to keep its borders safe while washington looks set to keep up support for revolutions even if they threaten its. welcome this is our live from moscow at eight pm my name is kevin owen with the top stories for you this hour first the syrian opposition's written ratings calls for a no fly zone in the country although still reluctant to get directly involved the u.s. has previously voiced support for the move to even if it means bypassing the u.n. washington have also pledged more backing franti said fighters syrian rebels say they've meantime shocked the government plane and captured the pilot activists released a video showing a fighter jet catching fire as it was apparently hit by ground shelling but state officials insist it crashed because of technical failure all this is alleged rogue reveller trustees are forcing more syrian activists to

egypt's intelligence chief and the head of the north sinai government general mohamed merah. was that he was quoted in the egyptian min media as confirming that you gyptian intelligence services had we see warnings of the sunday attack and he did not pass on the information by stating that the intelligence services job was only to collect information that it is indeed the circumstances that we and. general mohammad ma. were removed by morsi and quickly added. as presidential adviser so what we have to understand here is the specific context of these events in sinai the role of the israeli armed forces the role of the egyptian intelligence services and what are the lies there. this is cumulative let me just jump in right now i'm trying to figure out if the the latest you know resignation calling all of these to top of military personnel will actually benefit what the revolutionaries have been doing out into heated square i mean is this is this worth talking about are these two people actually either going to change anything. well let me try to contest realize this and because

in egypt, we're seeing the muslim brotherhood take more control. has there been any impact on the church as a result? >> a huge impact. even when the mubarak government fell, people were concerned about the influence of the muslim brotherhood. now tha mohammed morsi has become the president, many christians are leaving egypt because of the concern they have that the muslim brotherhood will, more and more, act in an oppressive government that restrict the freedom of christians throughout egypt. >> talk more about the specific outlook of christians there? >> well, they're concerned because they know that the muslim brotherhood's goal is to eventually impose shari'a law in egypt itself. that makes christians what they call demis or second class citizens. so we're seeing not only an impact in potential legislation, legislation, and an impact of people in the streets. i've heard christians who said even after the morsi government was enacted, even christian women walking down the street were attacked verbally, and they're concerned that that is going to

yes absolutely since the events of the past year in egypt. the government in cairo to be so as it looks like. israel has feared that in the sinai. this vast desert area between southern israel and cairo that jihadi base was being built and that was being used by various jihadi. organizations. on themselves and wanted and we're seeing these fears being years so we're talking about the sinai peninsula here all with a large desert area and this is the aim of the attack is to control that region. right well the attack was first of all. increased tensions between israel and egypt i think that's going to be. the attackers had in mind and second of all we have to remember that these organizations believe that violence. and justifies all means they believe in the act itself as an ideological goal. their religion as they see it and also to bring about a change to eventually create a government in the image of their interpretation of islam you talk about increasing tensions between israel and egypt that's one of the intentions but well what impact will

thank you for caring about egypt. i am the founder of a democracy for egypt. my question to you, madame, is not only the question in egypt -- i don't know if you read the last report that the change for egypt is asking president morsi right now that he is not delivering what he promised in forming the new government. you mentioned that you will be observing closely and if there would be steps taken. if you could enlighten us on what is next. thank you so much for your effort. >> well, thank you, and let me start by saying that i do recognize that a democratic transition is a complicated one for any country, and in all to humility, it took us quite some time to get it right, to include all of our citizens, starting with african-americans and women and truly fulfill not only the letter of the constitution, but the aspirations of our people. as i monitor what is happening in egypt, i am conscious of how challenging it is to get off on the right footing, to be absolutely clear what your principles and values are. as you are aware, and there was certainly a very co

the frontier between egypt and israel is long and lonely. israeli sees it as a soft target for any extremist planning to cross it or fire rockets over it. they trusted the ousted egyptian president to keep this border quiet. now that egypt has a president drawn from the brotherhood, they are not so sure. so israel's red sea fence which is right on the border, it's business as usual. but in the hills above the town, an iron dome keeps watch. the town's mayor says peace suits everyone, not just israel. egypt has put billions of dollars into tourism in the sinai, he says. i hope they protect that investment, but we will certainly protect ourselves. israel got decades of stability out of peace in the sigh any. the diplomatic achievement that transformed the middle east. now, on the border, they watch anxiously for signs of change. kevin connolly, "bbc news," on the israeli-egyptian border. >> now, eating chocolate could help prevent strokes. that's according to researchers in sweden. they found that men who have a little more than a standard cho
