days of it took 18 protests to remove president mubarak. it has taken three days to oust president morsi. since sunday they have been here and outside the presidential palace in huge numbers, against a leader they blame for egypt near economic collapse and political turmoil. for every single blood that has been shed in this country. >> it is different from when mubarak went. then, expectations were sky high. behind all the joy, there is considerable anxiety. army andof the minister of defense went on tv to announce a move that is bitterly resented by the of muslim brotherhood. and more the calm military would confront any forces that used violence. spoke,hours before he his men fanned out across the city. the army denies there was a coup, but they are still seizing power from freely elected president, which fits most definitions of the word. the general said his men would keep the peace while a judge ran the country, until new elections. he said they did not want to intervene, but now he is suspending president boris's constitution, condemn

mubarak had been our alou. we had interests in maintaining borders, the canal, so at that time the president decided ultimately to pull mubarak out and go with the street. here we have a democratically elected morsi. the administration has been trying to work with the morsi government. there's been fits and starts. some progress, they've maintained the peace treaty, they have maintained passage through the suez, maintained good operations on counter-terrorism, but he had an islamic agenda, didn't listen to the ultimatum, so the question is really how far out there will the president go to stay he has agreed with what happened here. >> robert, some interesting reaction from the general there when i tried to explain that democracy doesn't work like -- you don't like the president, therefore you get the military to remove him. if you had been that general, what would you have said? >> i don't think general el yazal gave an effective explanation. a more com pegs explanation is millions had a face-off, and to protec

the last time 2 1/2 years ago when hosni mubarak was removed from power. there weren't disruptions in the villages. we'll see if it will be different now that the muslim brotherhood leader has been removed considering he has many more supporters in the poorer and the rural communities than even mubarak did. >> richard, when a nation doesn't have a tradition of democracy and they try to move into that and then a military coup removes a democratically elected leader, it seems that it's going to be hard to then plant the seeds of democracy going forward. do you think -- did they think they're going to be able to go back to having democracy after removing morsi in this way? >> reporter: they are hopeful. because what's at play here is not just about democracy and ballot boxes. this was an entire experiment in political islam that many in egypt said went terribly wrong. two and a half years ago there was a revolt against president mubarak. the military took over. it was a transitionary phase. it didn't go well. egyptians may have learned from that experience. t

the uprising ended at the military forcing mubarak out. morsi wasence was elected. this revolution doesn't fit into a nice, neat box in a few days, but an ongoing revolution. the ballot box is the way the muslim brotherhood sees it. the revolutionary seated in a different way. if you continue to act in an authoritarian way, continue to allow the police to kill and torture with impunity and not hold them accountable and yet give them promotions, you know alienate completely all of the political opposition and use a very thin electoral mandate to push through a very divisive legislation, at some point in this revolutionary moment, do you lose that legitimacy? i think we saw increasing anger on the streets, increasing mass mobilization site, they did on june 30. it is important to keep these things in context when we have this kind of going back and forth is it a coup or not. technically, yes it is a coup. when you compare it to the ouster of mubarak in that context, i think the people need to ask morsi loses legitimacy? angered so many different sections of egyptian p

when they decided to weigh in and say mubarak had to go, mubarak had to go. after 30 years in power he was gone. it was a remarkable moment. it paved the way for new presidential elections in egypt. egyptians picked this guy, mohamed morsi. he was inaugurated a year ago yesterday. and yesterday this year, egyptians marked that one-year anniversary with the largest protests the country has seen since the revolution that toppled mubarak in the first place. over the past two days in half a dozen cities, there have been massive protests in egypt again. 16 people have died. hundreds of people have been injured. a young american who was in egypt to teach english for the summer was killed in the protests in alexandria. he was a 21-year-old college student from maryland named andrew pochter. the protests this weekend, protesters swarmed the headquarters of president morsi's political party. they destroyed the headquarters. they lit the place on fire. they looted it. the people inside the headquarters were reportedly evacuated but not before somebody fired actual live

his economic policy, he has been as opaque as mubarak. he went running to the imf for a loan and knowing new with the loan was used for. pushed her the constitution so basically, it is become say but it has undeniably evident that he was of governing in the interest egypt. opportunitymazing to actually have a muslim brotherhood regime or government that actually worked for the , and hadof the people egypt in his hands and he lost that. every day has been a chance for in, to have aople dialogue, to follow the map people have put in place. he hasn't done that. now he is clearly not hesitating [indiscernible] man,m brotherhood, young to put them in a direct confrontation with the rest of the country and the military. skirmishes in the districts just outside to rear people have been killed -- talk tahrir. it will largely be the making of the muslim brotherhood leadership. >> ahdaf soueif, i want to play a clip from your nephew. we spoke to him soon after mubarak fell. this is your nephew. dream that we don't need to deal with the complexes of

it's completely and utterly different because mubarak did not come through elections he was a dictator he was a tyrant he imposed himself he was heavy backed up by the army in fact the army to the hilt it is the army who are running the show they are calling the shots they are supported by the americans they call the aid to egypt is in fact not to you it is simply money to the military who all running the show who are who have massive power who have been in center of the power mubarak was not talk to you was a dictator who was in democratically elected he wasn't and he came from the army he belongs to the army through and through and he imposed himself on the people while we look to see he was democratically elected as the first freely elected civilian in egypt and he had a mandate to all four years. the army moved against him they declared that cool hiding behind that people so we can say in every sense of the world what happened was clearly an up day to. kuwait the hi good to be behind the masses who were clamoring and demanding and then to see it. through demands i do mean again you

the difference between now and february 2011 when mubarak was forced from office is that mubarak had virtually no one who would fight on his behalf although the brotherhood supporters are vastly outnumbered by the number of egyptians in the streets. they still remain defiant to this moment. so it is a rather dangerous situation in egypt right now. >> charlie: naguib sawiris, when you look at this situation, what should the president of the united states do in a crisis like this? >> you know, he should support the egyptian people. if the egyptian people go 20 to 30 million in the streets of egypt and call for the overthrow of a religious regime, he should stop supporting this regime. i must tell you and it really hurts me to say that. many egyptians, liberal and secular egyptian feel completely let down by the administration of the u.s. support to mr. morsi and his gang during this last year. you know, we would have gotten rid of him earlier if they did not feel he had that support. with this support he misunderstood that support and used it to go against his own people, to declare hi

when mubarak was in power so essentially if it is true and if it evolves if we do have a military coup on the cards here in egypt and saudi this is what the word and what we've been told this is the worst case scenario because it is a military coup against the backdrop of a deeply divided and troubled country paula thank you very much indeed for that live update there from the center of color that's artie's policy and just to say that we have seen on television that the military are now saying that president morsy is no longer president and that they responding to calls for help from the people so the military is saying the reason why they are now taking control is because it is what the people wanted and we're seeing now that the address is currently being made on state t.v. which was taken over by the military just a few hours ago in egypt so we're still monitoring exactly what's being said by the military there but it looks very very clear that the military has indeed launched what many say is a coup true is also reporting from car and she outlined to me earlier how the political cr

under president hosni mubarak, retired officers staffed the highest levels of government. in 2011 when protesters filled tahrir square and demanded mubarak step down, it was the military that offered to run the country for six months to widespread public support. six months turned into 17, and when islamist mohamed morsi was elected president, the military gave up the reins of power. since then the military has for the most part stayed on the sidelines but when millions filled the streets calling for morsi to leave, they weighed in again. for now they're hoping perhaps they will safe guard the country's unruly transition to democracy without over staying their welcome. >> they were members of an elite fire fighting team known as the hot shots. >> so sad. the fire at yarnell hill was so unpredictable they were unable to ride it out. up next the anatomy of a deadly fire. the blisters were oozing, and painful to touch. i woke up to a blistering on my shoulder. i spent 23 years as a deputy united states marshal and i've been pretty well banged up but the worst pain i've experi

off withyou be better a man like mubarak? >> yes. i think yes. >> yes, mubarak. we were safe them. tahrir square was full again with anti-morsi protesters. they know the army is talking to the government, but they are determined that, however it happens, morsi must go. >> we are getting news from egyptian state television that president morsi is expected to address the nation shortly. for more on events unfolding in cairo, i spoke to jeremy in tahrir square moments ago. the crowd seem to be in a good mood. how will they respond to the news from president morsi that he has no plans to step down? >> they are excited, and apprehensive as well, about what might be happening tomorrow. other there have been big demonstrations organized by the muslim brotherhood. they are capable of putting big numbers out on the streets as well, and that is bolstering their position right now. negotiations are going on between the army, the president, and the government. he has lost at least six ministers to resignation, and rumors of more to come. , onhe last half-hour or so twitter, president morsi has

it senior members were appointed during the mubarak regime. allegations are coming from -- where allegations are coming from? >> this is a big debate in egypt. what i can say now is that the egyptian judiciary, its credibility was undermined about two and a half years after the 2011 uprising. -- nowot classified classified and one of the two camps in egypt. this has to be said without any doubt -- unfortunately the egyptian judiciary, the reaction of the judiciary itself put itself as being classified as one of the two groups against president morsi good i think that is also what president morsi supporters will look for the decision, just as a political decision, not the judicial chip -- decision. >> we are going to have to leave it there could really interesting insights. there will be a lot of tension. you can tell there is a lot at stake could think you very much indeed. live from cairo. we are going to move onto other news. one of the biggest and most successful hedge funds on wall street has been charged with insider trading. federal pros

the military was in power for 17 months after ousting president mubarak. it became very controversial and there were protests on the streets and at tahrir square demanding that the military hand over power. it became extraordinarily controversial and so the military has to ensure that this time around, that there is a vast transition fa it doesn't seem to be wanting to hold on to power. remember, all of the presidents since the monarchy ended in the 1950s, have been former leaders within the military. there has been a fear within egypt that the military, the old regime is trying to wiggle its way back into power through the military. and so the challenge for the supreme council of the armed forces as it's called will be to make sure that it is seen as just a very temporary transition and not something that's trying to take over power again. >> richard, can you respond to that point, as well? because indeed, trust this military is paramount for this to work. people have to believe that the military means what it says. you get aence sense from the people you

this was left largely intact after the removal of former president mubarak. the military, which is the most powerful player within the state worked with the islamists nd against the secularists. now, the military as well as other state institutions has been on the defensive. this new alignment may not be any more stable or lasting. it is also important to say the current alliance with the secular opposition is anti-brotherhood. it is not anti-islamist. the party supported the removal of morsi and has exerted its nfluence in the new transition by vetoing the cabinet choices. my second point is that we should really reserve judgment. this will put egypt on the path towards democracy or not. on the positive side of the ledger, the military is not exerting control directly but has put civilians out front. they put in place a cabinet. in addition to that, i would say another positive sign is hat the new transition roadmap puts the rewriting of the constitution before the holding of new parliamentary and presidential elections and this does correct a flaw in the fi

hosni mubarak stepped down. are we just replacing mubarak with mubarak? what are we doing? >> well, you know, hosni mubarak called for the ouster of mohammed morsi, so you can bet mubarak's celebrating tonight, too. the fact is that the muslim brotherhood had taken its election victory and was using it to follow the principle one person, one vote, one time. they wanted to establish an islamist state under shirria law. you don't get to vote on god's well when you know what god's will is. i think they are moving in the direction of an authoritarian society and the military was justified in staging this coupe. having said that, nobody should underestimate the strength of the brother looed, international observers said the elections were free and fair. the brotherhood candidates got 50% of the seats and more radical candidates took the islamist majority between two-thirds and three-quarters of parliament. this is a very strong feeling in egypt. they will say, you told you us we had to have elections, we had elections, we won and you taj staged a military coupe. so the prospect

are very rare compared to the mubarak regime and one were many we. would have and many who weren't that. when we two planned it for our election ended up being. former regime representative we still get that there. was a bit of a there are you know when we. i think we're really three nine we protest you're at the rear. our number anything that was seen in the first round with with mubarak and that speaks very loudly for itself the muslim brotherhood has tried to pin this on the remnants of the old mubarak regime was this kind would be kinds of numbers with this many people rattling against them i think it is a popular. i guess. agreement i think we're in a very your arm you are national green then more who. are who they are economic when they're little we are not there to. hear. what he has a small bag of mortar and i do believe he does not. at the same time not were well meaning large. need not using them to their best advantage in their we. were nowhere near me. were. more people who back up more we learned that they were our. norm letter was over
