members of the muslim brotherhood have been arrested overnight. it was the handling of the economy, one of the driving forces behind the protests that ultimately led to morsi's down fall and the demise here certainly short time of the influence of the muslim brotherhood. the current political turmoil could create even more economic uncertainty. i want to bring back john out after abu dhabi. we have seen the rush hour. things appear to be working this morning after hours after what was a military intervention. this morning the installation of a transitional president. it is important, isn't it, what happens next as this economy is concerned? your thoughts? >> yeah, indeed. i think your point is well taken here. nobody seems to be in big shock. we have to wait and see how this plays out in tahrir square, for example. the business community was looking for a smooth transition. look where we were 12 hours ago. this could be a prolonged transition and would have been messy here negotiating with the muslim brotherhood. the business leaders i spoke to ov

the muslim brotherhood was democratically elected. the united states chose to work with it, much to the chagrin or much to the anger of the egyptian military, which has a much longer and much deeper relationship with the united states' military and with the u.s. government. we didn't hear much coming from washington in the early days of this uprising because anything washington would have said would have been used against it. if it came out in support of the protesters, then they would have labeled as american spies. if it came out in support of morsi, then these people in the crowd would have said that the united states is propping up the muslim brotherhood. but last night's speech which antagonized many egyptians and apparently antagonized many in washington as well was very aggressive. president morsi, ex-president morsi, was banging his fist on the podium. he was waving his finger at the camera talking about violence, not talking about inclusion. talking about how he was the legitimate leader of this country and that no one should

the muslim brotherhood is outraged over this coup. i spoke earlier with a senior adviser to the group. >> i don't know how the rest of the world is watching this and letting it slip by. the voice of the people has been derailed by its own military -- that took up a political position to side with a certain faction and remove a democratically elected president in egypt. i can't believe in one year we managed to resurge back the military inside egypt. >> how do you think the muslim brotherhood supporters are going to react to what has happened? there have been calls for calm and there are those who have been speaking of taking somewhat darker action. >> no violent action at all. we're sticking to peaceful means and peaceful mechanisms. we're an organization committed to a peaceful nature and we are committed to non-violent roots of containing the mechanism of how this country is governing. we're not going to let this country die again into a administrative dictatorship. >> you have it there. speaking earlier saying that the brotherhood

there are deep divisions in the muslim brotherhood. i wouldn't anticipate them speaking with one voice. you have forces that want to engage in civil disobedience and take a more modern track. and others that want to engage in violent protests. you have seen the mainstream leaders of the group say they are willing to spill their blood for their cause and i think that is going to be important to watch. president morsi views himself as the president of egypt. i think it will be important to keep an eye on them in the coming hours, especially as this protest starts to break up and to see if the military can continue to contain the violence as they are trying to do clearly. >> i would guess that as these crowds begin to disperse as they no doubt will, after those jumping and screaming have won the day and the government has been ousted. they will come in and get attention and act post haste. >> and they should. as your previous guest just mentioned, the islamist camp is not unified and many moderates would like to join the process and becom

for the lido of the muslim brotherhood his deputy and two of the party leaders some nine top muslim brotherhood officials there are currently investigations into some six hundred and fifty muslim brotherhood supporters now most of them have been released four hundred fifty of them that there are some two hundred that are still being held in custody and all of that is being perceived by the muslim brotherhood in the pro morsi supporters as a crackdown on the brotherhood and it's evoking a lot of anger. although the newly appointed prime minister said that he wants to bring in muslim brotherhood party members into the cabinet how the muslim brotherhood reacts to this sort of offer and. you know the muslim brotherhood has rejected this outright they say that the whole process is to try and form some kind of interim cabinet an interim government is ego and we hear the same kind of rhetoric coming from the muslim brotherhood that we've heard from the beginning and that is that they have nothing to do with the interim president and any kind of negotiations to try and push forward some kind of politic

what does the muslim brotherhood do now? >> well, we do what we do best, we stay on the streets and we stick to our principles. until the scene changes and if it doesn't, who knows? at the end of the day, we are committed. [ indiscernible ] people need to elect their leaders. they need to change the course of their country according to their will. [ indiscernible ] >> so as far as you see, you plan to continue to have demonstrations in the streets? you intend to have all your members out in the streets for as long as possible? >> for as long as feasible, yes. [ indiscernible ] it has to be through the democratically elected representatives of the people, not through self-appointed representatives. >> appreciate your time tonight. thank you very much. i want to go to ivan watson and ben wedeman, with christiane amanpour. ivan, what is the latest that you've been seeing? what's the latest there? >> anderson, this is the biggest party we've seen in tahrir square since 2011 when hosni mubarak was overthrown. helicopters circling

brotherhood the question though is where is this muslim brotherhood leader it is widely thought that he could be inside the rubber mosque now this is where hundreds of thousands of pro morsi muslim brotherhood supporters have been holding a vigil calling for morsy to be released from detention and the reinstated so the question needs to be answered as to how the police are actually going to enter this massive crowd and a wrist mohammed badie at the same time he has already been arrested before they were a number of arrest warrants issued earlier in the week we know from some sources that several high profile the muslim brotherhood leaders are currently in detention but all of this is being denied by the brotherhood itself it says that none of its leaders are in detention and it also says that these arrest warrants are merely an attempt by the army to try and break up this protest and other demonstrations that are calling for the ousted muslim brotherhood president mohamed morsi to be reinstated the concern however is that this is going to be two more provocation and it will ultimatel

this is a prominent cleric and muslim brotherhood supporter. the jets legitimate president is mohamed morsi. he alone has the right to appoint a prime minister or agree to others being appointed. with regard to the military and the person they're calling the interim president, they are all thieves. it is not right to appoint ministers or prime ministers and we reject these appointments altogether. >> meanwhile, the prosecution office has ordered the arrest of the leader of the motte -- muslim brotherhood movement. the arrest warrant is seen as part of a broader crackdown on members of the brotherhood. hundreds of members and other islamic groups have been detained, along with the former president's top advisers. >> egyptian armed forces shot dead more than 50 supporters of mohamed morsi during a protest where the deposed leader is believed to be held. meanwhile, saudi arabia and the united arab emirates have offered $8 billion in aid to the interim government to shore up the economy and counter qatar's support of the muslim brotherhood. sharif

brotherhood, the government run by the muslim brotherhood? >> well, as far as the opposition goes, i mean, really, it's a divided group, and now that the table is turned and the muslim brother hood has -- is going to be in the political wilderness, it's a whole different ball game, but it's something that the brotherhood is accustomed to existing in. you have to remember that for decades under first presidents, the brotherhood existed in the political wilderness in a secret world, and they developed all sorts of mechanisms to hide their activities from -- from not only the government but people in general so that put among many egyptians a deep concern about the must almost brotherhood and actions and intentions and really, we've gone full circle. we're back to where the muslim brotherhood members are being rounded up, arrested, put under house arrest. we really have come full circle, but this time around they tasted power. they have had for one year, one of their own as president of egypt and now back in the wilderness again. we'll see how t

this is a big blow to the muslim brotherhood.justice of the cons court. this is a big blow to the muslim brotherhood. but they are organized and my guess is they will turn out a lot of people. >> i think we have a big issue here. president obama has painted himself in a corner because he was instrumental in getting morsi in that seat. thousa now what does he do. does he embrace this type of military coup? >> sure. >> i'm sure he will, by the way. >> they went a lot further than -- they're sort of asking for this, weren't they? >> and we knew in was coming. the muslim brotherhood is very, very powerful. plane folks on your side of the aisle told us they would never run for the elections and if they did, they would never win. and they did. as i said before, they control the mosques, unions, they're in the military, they have tremendous power. only thing worse then them are the anti-israel, upset morsi did not go after israel. and then you have the other group of nonislamists that are upset with president obama, as well. he backed t

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 that would be approved by all political parties oh poor as you'll speak here at the moment we're getting a

the muslim brotherhood, when i lived here i lived in a poor neighborhood, where the muslim brotherhood had a great deal of sway. it had the power of the mosques. whenever there was corruption in society, the muslim brotherhood could say, we don't act that way, that's not who we are, that's not what we believe in, and generally they were popular in a lot of poor cairo slums. when they came to power, as ashraf was describing they were terrible at governing. they didn't reach out to other people. they were bullies. they were intellectual and religious bullies. they allowed many extremist clerics to open television stations, filling the society here with some very radical messages. the sanai, usually a place filled with tourists, usually from italy, wear skimpy bathing suits and drink beer on the beach, when the muslim brotherhood came to power it became a wasteland where people were being kidnapped, soldiers being kidnapped, repeated attacks against israel, repeated attacks against pipelines. the israeli army built a fence to wall itself off from the sanai. so it was a pretty bad experien

here were against the muslim brotherhood. attacking the building that is isl of many symbols attacking the muslim brotherhood. there has been going on for a while. the office of the supreme leader of the organization with 70 branches around the world is a huge blow to the group. >> we know a crowd is building up behind you in tahrir square. let's listen in for a little while. across are growing more as the day wears on. are you able to tell us what they are chanting and demanding now? >> the number is slowly growing. the sun is very hot. there has been a continuous flow of people. certainly nothing compared to what happened yesterday. there is a call for another large protest tomorrow. ofwe know there is a lot agner. are you able to tell us what they are chanting? >> i cannot hear very well. in the last slogans were about ousting the president. this is the sector revolution. the people have already won. now they are saying "go!" sloganseen the same going back and forth throughout the day. it is about president morsi and the m

we want to know what the muslim brotherhood thinks of the situation. we think that their opinion should be considered and known to the egyptian people in regards to what's happened in the transition period. >> we did hear earlier from the opposition news that they will be trying to get these television stations up and running as quickly as possible. do you see this as a priority for the egyptians in >> absolutely. i think it is yet to be seen what the intentions of the muslim brotherhood are right now. we know that intentions and we media, but there might be dialogue and the military -- the muslim brotherhood to join the meeting they had with the opposition. so as an egyptian and a lot of people i know would like to hear what the muslim brotherhood have to say and also think it's not the role of the government to decide and judge media content. it has to be evaluated independently. to if it were to act, it has be decided by a judiciary. >> thank you very much for taking the time to join us on the phone to talk about one of the more worrying development

the muslim brotherhood is a terrorist organization. the issue right now and they want their money back. they have disbanded the constitution and the muslim brotherhood is being to push back. we have to remember that the muslim brotherhood is tied at the hip with iran. >> we have witnessed protesters denouncing the administration because it is backing morsi and the brotherhood. what role if any can the u.s. have to influence those in egypt particularly if they are unstable for some time. is this a time to consider holding back on military and financial aid as senator mccain is suggesting? >> this administration was in support of and the ambassador did make positive statements. they did make positive statements about the old regime a week ago and morsi. they were in support of it. they were hard to walk that back. we have to continue the 1.5 billion. we have to keep some level of influence. there is a great connection between the u.s. military and the egyptian military as corrupt as the military is. we have to keep our fingers in the pie

brotherhood who is timid in one way some seventy one people killed it comes amid the muslim brotherhood warning for its supporters to go to the streets in a nationwide protest demanding again for the ousted president mohamed morsi to leave me and stated there is still a lot of confusion in terms of what actually transpired on monday morning this morning to the brotherhood its protesters were holding a few small cities they were holding dorner prayers in front of the republican guard headquarters building where it is believed that morsy is kind of taking hold when they suddenly came under fire from the army they were provoked this is in stark contrast to what we're hearing from the military they say that they came under fire that it was armed gunmen who scaled the roofs of nearby buildings they were hurling molotov cocktails firebombs as well as huge stones at the army who were forced to respond in self defense the army saying the fact that two policemen and one soldier was killed is evidence that they were under fire and that there was simply trying to protect both their lives the lives

that is what the muslim brotherhood are saying tonight. when they refer to the former regime returning at the cost of the blood of the january 25th martyrs, just to give you a sense of what i believe they mean by that, there is much talk here that there are elements of the former hosni mubarak regime who are exploiting what is a -- for leverage, for their own gain, for back into politics. you ask anybody here, even staunch members of the opposition, and they will say that's probably true, that there are elements of the old hosni mubarak regime who will be package at a timing here in egypt once again. very interesting to hear from the muslim brotherhood. they are by no means giving up. this is an organization that took 18 years to get a foothold in egyptian politics. now they see the end of that looming, and they are very, very angry, as are their supporters this evening. >> becky anderson, i want to bring in egyptian commentator and activist mona elat the present time ahawy. mona, stad -- etahawy. i hope your family and friends have been a

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 public life, that we saw a biggest uprising that we have seen possibly in egyptian history area did at is the question you have to ask here. going forw

in creating that deal to get muslim brotherhood in power there were actually the muslim brotherhood where their strongest allies during the transition period despite the military strength is quite ironic that now the muslim brotherhood are against the military despite the fact that they commended them so much and they've like complimented them on how great a job they were doing despite a lot of times that we've witnessed so so the people but the people right now they're so this and chatted with the muslim brotherhood so disenchanted that they're willing to accept anything but the muslim brotherhood which is a sign of how polarized things are at the moment and how bad the muslim brotherhood and morsi have made matters inside. as indeed unfortunately we're out of time a while while eskandar cairo based are less thank you for weighing in with your point of use or thank you all right well moving on coming up in the program the children caught in the crosshairs israel's military arms to the teeth and perfectly trained and it's assorting to using cold wanted posters to intimidate palestinian yo

the court was the muslim brotherhood's most obstructive enemy. last year, he scrapped a law which stop former members of the mubarak regime from standing elections. and putting an ally into the presidency might be the easy bit for the egyptian army. they have an even worse inheritance from the one that made president morsi's job so hard. egyptians are impatient for better lives. top priorities are keeping the peace and the economy. the generals and the new president need to come up with results quickly. a honeymoons here are short. >> many egyptians to support democracy will not call what has happened a military coup even though soldiers took power from elected president. they include egypt lost most internationally recognized leader. >> they know they have been called by the people to avert civil war. it is a painful measure. nobody wants it done. his owni undermined legitimacy by the client himself a few months ago as the pharaoh. this is not a democratic process. >> there is no point of having a election and if you want change, you go to the s

but this is what t muslim brotherhood thinks. and i think the main challenge now for the egyptian political establishment is trying to figure out a way to do what mona asked for and incorporate the muslim brotherhood in the new transition, and yet, i think that will take such a degree of political creativity and genius to bring this movement that has now just suffered one of the greatest blows in its history to get them to forget this and to come back to the negotiating table is going to be a -- it's going to require some kind of magic that i'm not sure anybody in egypt can pull off. >> tarek, you're a student of political islam. so, if you were, you know, a political islamist or a fundamentalist, here's what you look at. they won the elections in algeria in 1992, the government annulled the elections. hamas won in gaza, they were boycotted and banned. the party wins in turkey and the turkey military institutes a coup. as i say, three times the muslim brotherhood won on the polls here. is there a danger that this movement says, y

morsi's a member of the muslim brotherhood.
