The confrontation comes on the eve of a divisive referendum on the new draft constitution. The Muslim Brotherhood called the rally to decry the violence between Islamists and secular Egyptians last week. A well-known conservative Muslim preacher was trapped in his mosque for 14 hours as rivals attacked one another with clubs and swords. Sheik Ahmed el-Mahalawi denounced opponents of the new constitution as "followers of heretics." On the streets opinion is polarized. "This one million man demo today is to say "yes" to the constitution. Secondly it is to show the value of mosques and teachers for Muslims. What happened last Friday, attacking the mosque, is not accepted by Muslims and non-Muslims," said one man. Across Egypt preparations are underway for the second part of the referendum. The 'Yes' campaign narrowly won the first vote on December 15. Those opposed to the president believe the draft constitution is pro-Muslim and fails to protect the rights of all Egyptians. The constitution must be in place before elections can go ahead within two months, but the bill has exacerbated the split between Islamists and secular groupings. The country has been in a state of chaos since Mubarak was disposed in February 2011. http://news.linktv.org/videos/egypt-morsi-supporters-opponents-clash-on-eve-of-divisive-referendum?start=0 Opponents and supporters of Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi took to the streets across Egypt on the eve of a controversial constitutional referendum.

There was participation from the opposition, which is represented in civil society, political parties, and non-Islamist political movements that shaped the National Rescue Front. Reporter, Female #2 Large white signs with red writing were hung around the square. They said: "Down, Down with the rule of the Guide," "The Muslim Brotherhood stole the revolution," "Down with the constitutional declaration," and "The president is forcing the people into civil disobedience." Egyptians again repeated chants against President Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood, but the chant, "The people want the downfall of the regime," once again dominated the situation. Reporter, Female #2 Morsi had met with members of the Supreme Judiciary in an attempt to diffuse the crisis. After the meeting, Egyptian presidential spokesman Yasser Ali asserted that there were no amendments to the constitutional declaration that was issued by Morsi. The people then returned to the square to have a say, and to reject Morsi's decision, in which he protected himself from judicial supervision. He also protected the Constituent Assembly to draft the constitution and the Shura Council, which are both dominated by Islamists. Guest, Male #1 It is not his right to issue a constitutional declaration. He must know and understand that. All of the legal scholars in the country have said that it is not his right, it is not his right! Guest, Female #3 These were not Mohamed Morsi's decisions. These were the Guide's decisions. The Guide gives him orders, and he follows them. The Guide is ruling the country. Reporter, Female #2 Clashes took place earlier, between party factions and the police at Simon Bolivar Square, which is located near Tahrir Square and the American Embassy's headquarters. However, older activists sought to keep them away from that square, and to convince them to maintain the peacefulness of the protests. In addition, Morsi's opponents have organized demonstrations in several governorates that coincide with the demonstrations in Tahrir. This comes at a time when the Muslim Brotherhood suddenly decided to cancel a demonstration it had called for in front of Cairo University, asserting that this decision was made to prevent bloodshed. http://news.linktv.org/videos/one-dead-as-egyptians-clash-over-morsis-temporary-new-powers?start=0 Dubai TV reports that on the Egyptian street, Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi's announcement of an expansion of his power until a democratically-elected parliament is reinstated has led to clashes throughout the country and at least one fatality.

Cautious calm returned to the square and nearby streets following a day of continuous clashes between demonstrators and security forces. The number of protest tents has notably increased. The strikers closed all the square's entrances. Presenter, Male #1 The crisis between the presidency and the judiciary in Egypt may witness a breakthrough. The minister of justice announced that an agreement has been reached during the meeting that was held today between President Mohamed Morsi and members of the Supreme Judicial Council at the Presidential Palace. According to the agreement, Morsi will issue an explanatory memo on the nature of the temporary measures listed in his constitutional decree. The memo must explain that such measures will not lead to a seizure or consolidation of power by the president, and that they will be transferred to a democratically-elected parliament. Reporter, Male #2 After a heated debate following the announcement of the constitutional declaration, the presidency of the republic confirmed that the presidential decrees are temporary, and called on all political blocs to engage in dialogue. In a bid to assure its opponents, the presidency stressed the importance of the constitutional declaration, reiterating that it's the only way to hold accountable anyone involved in acts of corruption, or criminal acts during the former regime and the transitional period. However, such reassurances didn't seem to be working. Guest, Male #3 This political problem is spiraling out of control. There are no other solutions but to offer concessions by repealing this constitutional declaration, which could spark a civil war that no one wants for our country. Reporter, Male #2 For its part, the Supreme Judicial Council stressed that the decrees listed in the constitutional declaration should apply only to sovereign matters. According to news reports, business was as usual in some Egyptian courts and the Judges' Club, which called for a strike. The Egyptian street was divided among supporters and opponents of the president's decrees that enjoy a temporary immunity from judicial challenges. Reporter, Male #2 While some praised the presidential decrees as revolutionary, others slammed them as dictatorial. Hundreds of demonstrators are continuing to stage sit-ins in Tahrir Square demanding a repeal of such decrees. In addition, pro-and anti-president marches are continuing to mobilize across the country. What added insult to injury is the violent clashes that erupted near Tahrir Square between security forces and demonstrators marking the first anniversary of the bloody incidents of Mohammed Mahmoud Street. A state of political stalemate is being witnessed in Egypt in the wake of the controversial constitutional declaration, which reignited some of the buried differences among the political rivals, according to observers.

On Thursday afternoon, a demonstration took off from in front of Omar al-Mukarram Mosque in Tahrir Square. It demanded further escalation against Israel, and endorsed Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi's decision to recall the Egyptian ambassador from Tel Aviv. It also handed a strongly-worded letter of protest to the Israeli ambassador in Cairo. Unprecedented slogans were heard during the protest, as demonstrators chanted for opening the door to jihad, or struggle, and demanded to forcefully end the Israeli siege on the Strip. Nabil Attia reports from Cairo. Reporter, Male #2 Supplications and funeral prayers were held for the victims of the Israeli raids on the Gaza Strip. They are part of actions launched from the Omar al-Mukarram Mosque in the heart of Tahrir Square. Guest, Male #3 (Muath Abd al-Karim, Revolution Youth Coalition) In reality, the reaction that was adopted so far is a diplomatic response. I think Egypt must show its soft power to convince the Israelis to stop these childish acts that are only happening so they can score political points before the elections. Reporter, Male #2 This popular mobilization comes after the Egyptian authorities' series of escalations. At the forefront is President Mohamed Morsi's decision to withdraw the Egyptian ambassador from Tel Aviv, and to deliver a strongly-worded letter of protest to the Israeli ambassador in Cairo. Guest, Male #4 (Ahmed Subei, Freedom and Justice Party Media Advisor) We think it is President Mohamed Morsi's first step before more action can be taken to support the Palestinian people's right to life. What happened yesterday in the Gaza Strip is an ongoing Zionist crime. Zionists and Israel must know that the days of submission are over, and no longer have a place in Egypt. The Egyptian people took to the streets in 2008 and 2009 against the Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip, at a time they were living under an authoritarian regime that was preventing this popular mobilization. But today, the people, and state officials, and the country's president are in harmony. Reporter, Male #2 The demonstration that was called for by some political and revolutionary movements took off from Tahrir Square and headed toward the Arab League to present its demands. Guest, Male #5 (Dr. Salah Sultan, Secretary-General for the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs) I demand the Arab League to activate the joint defense agreement, and to encourage the youth and men to join the ranks of the battalions, and the ranks of the army. From in front of the Arab League, I call on all Arab armies to prepare for the battle of liberation. Reporter, Male #2 The Arab League will hold an urgent ministerial meeting in Cairo on Saturday to discuss ways to respond to the Israeli escalation against the Gaza Strip, and, perhaps, to look into a response to some of the popular demands of the demonstrators.

Carter added that Morsi is aware that any changes or amendments to the Camp David Treaty must be recognized by both countries. Presenter, Male #1 Carter, who sponsored the Camp David Agreement when he was president of the United States, met with Morsi during his visit to Cairo as a member of the international Elders group. The delegation includes former Irish President Mary Robinson, and former Norwegian Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland. On the other hand, former American President Jimmy Carter expressed concern over the delay in completing the Egyptian constitution; however, he praised the steps taken by the Egyptian president during the first 100 days of his rule. Guest, Male #2 (Jimmy Carter, Former American President) I have been truly surprised at the progress that president Morsi has made, because I thought that when I came back for this meeting, the military would still be in charge. And now we have seen that because of his wise leadership and bold leadership, that part of the dreams of the Egyptian people have been realized. That we are now on the road, which I think cannot be reversed, to real democracy and respect for human rights, and civilian control of the government, that it's controlled by leaders that have been elected by you, the people. I don't think that there will be turning back. http://news.linktv.org/videos/supporters-and-opponents-of-egyptian-president-morsi-battle-in-tahrir-square?start=0 Supporters and opponents of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi clashed in Cairo, in Tahrir Square on Friday night - the first major incident of violence between the two groups since the Islamist leader took office.

The clashes resulted in the destruction of the stage of the liberal Wafd party, following chants against Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi. Tahrir Square is now witnessing a protest titled, "Accountability Friday." Presenter, Male #1 Protestors are divided into three groups: the liberals, the Muslim Brotherhood supporters, and the April 6th movement. They are also calling for the retrial of defendants accused of killing protestors in what is known as the Battle of the Camels, which took place during the January 25th revolution. Presenter, Male #1 Joining us from Tahrir Square is BBC correspondent Mohamed Abdel Hay. Mohamed, what is the situation now? Have the clashes calmed down, or have they escalated? Correspondent Male #2 (Mohamed Abdel Hay) The situation at the moment has returned to protests that are relatively more organized. However, a short while ago, there were still clashes between supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and the liberal front, as well as political parties and forces that participated in this demonstration, known as "Accountability Friday" or "The Friday of the Constitution." Correspondent Male #2 On the other hand, there are also participants in a demonstration to support President Mohamed Morsi's decisions, the latest of which was sacking the attorney general and appointing him as Egypt's ambassador to the Vatican. The clashes led the Muslim Brotherhood group and its supporters to withdraw from the Square. It seems that the square is the tension point between these two groups. Therefore, the "hit-and-runs" are centered in Tahrir Square and the streets surrounding it. Now it seems that there is clear control of the Square by a number of protestors who belong to Egyptian liberal parties, and who participated in "Accountability and Constitution Friday." There was a relative withdrawal of the Muslim Brotherhood group. However, this situation hasn't been fixed. Presenter, Male #1 Mohamed, do you think that the withdrawal of the Brotherhood was politically motivated, or merely due to pressure from the rival demonstrators? Correspondent Male #2 Let's focus on one specific issue, Mekki. This demonstration was not an official decision. It was an invitation. Therefore, the protest and participants in Tahrir, and the supporters and members of the Muslim Brotherhood, are lacking political organization or supervision. They're here based on their own personal decision. Their withdrawal may not be based on any political decision. As I said, the withdrawal was a relative one. "Hit-and-run" acts between protestors will quickly return to Tahrir Square, and the Muslim Brotherhood will return to control the Square. Correspondent Male #2 We must also note the decreasing numbers of Muslim Brotherhood supporters, who had been present this afternoon. The numbers are now less than what they were in the morning. It's clear that the liberals' forces, and other political forces, are continuously increasing in number. It seems like they're mobilizing to show a stronger presence in Tahrir Square. http://news.linktv.org/videos/mosaic-news-101012?start=34 <p>Thousands march to demand justice for massacre of Copts in Cairo, Israel gears up for early elections amid Palestinian fears of renewed violence, Pakistani girl shot in head by Taliban remains in critical condition, and more.</p> Wed, 10 Oct 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://news.linktv.org/videos/mosaic-news-101012 Syrian Civil War, Syria, Gaza, NATO, Benjamin Netanyahu, Afghanistan War, Israel Defense Forces, Afghanistan, Palestinians, United Nations Presenter, Female #1 Thousand of Egyptians commemorated the first anniversary of the Maspero massacre, which took the lives of a number of Copts and Muslims during clashes with military forces after the demolition of a church in Aswan Province. The demonstrators demanded that the perpetrators be tried. At the forefront are members of the Military Council, which was in power at the time. Reporter, Male #1 To the sound of the international song "Paradise," and in a majestic funeral-like spectacle, thousands of Egyptians commemorated the anniversary of the Maspero incident, which took the lives of a number of Copts and Muslims. Mass marches flooded Cairo, demanding fair retribution for all those who took part in this massacre. Guest, Male #2 The commander of the military police who gave the order to run over Coptic protestors was rewarded. And the one who gave him the order, Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, and Sami Anan, were rewarded. Before this incident were the April 8th and the July 8th sit-ins. After that was the sit-in at the Council of Ministers, and the events of Mohamed Mahmoud. Everyone who kills a protestor is being rewarded! Guest, Male #3 Christian or Muslim, our rights are not cheap! We are calling again for a revolutionary trial, even if it's held over all of our dead bodies! Guest, Male #4 We appeal to Dr. Morsi and his presidency to get retribution for these martyrs, because these people were innocent! Reporter, Male #1 It's the first anniversary of this massacre. It left a deep wound in the consciousness of Egyptians that has yet to heal, especially since the perpetrators have not been brought to justice. The protestors see the members of the Military Council, which was in power at the time, as the true perpetrators. Guest, Male #5 (Hamdi al-Fakharani, Egyptian Lawyer and Political Activist) It's not permissible that Mubarak has been tried and sentenced for causing the deaths of protestors during the January 25th revolution, while the Military Council hasn't been tried for causing the deaths of all the Maspero revolutionaries. Guest, Male #6 (Hani Shenoudeh, Founder of Egypt for Egyptians Party) With regard to the Maspero martyrs, we accomplished more than one thing. We raised the issue to the attorney general. We raised the issue to rights organizations. We raised the issue to the president of the republic, the President of Egypt himself. Reporter, Male #1 The anniversary coincided with the Egyptian Church's elections for a new pope. The papal seat has remained vacant since the departure of Pope Shenouda the Third. The church said that it resorted to praying for the martyrs' souls. Guest, Male #7 (Pastor Makari Habib, Secretary to Bishop Bakhomious) The Maspero martyrs are a gain for us in the earthly church, because these are martyrs who enriched the church with their prayers and intercession. We ask for fasting and prayer. We have rights under the law, and these demands of ours fall under the law. Reporter, Male #1 The blood that was shed in this place is ammunition that needs fair retribution. This retribution has not come through emotional conversations about national unity, which have been unable to end the crisis. http://news.linktv.org/videos/mosaic-news-100112?start=982 <p>Taliban claims responsibility for deadly attack on joint Afghan-NATO convoy, Jordan extends voter registration deadline amid Islamist-led election boycott, tens of thousands of Saudis mourn protestors killed in crackdown on opposition, and more.</p> Mon, 01 Oct 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://news.linktv.org/videos/mosaic-news-100112 Mitt Romney, AKP, Palestinians, Ankara, Jerusalem, Middle East, Iran, Republican Party (United States), United Nations, Human rights Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has reiterated his support for both the Palestinian and Syrian people.

Raafat added that Abbas intends to meet with Morsi soon to discuss this matter with him, because the Palestinian Authority fears that Egypt is unintentionally sending the message that it recognizes Hamas as an official authority, a matter that has intensified the Palestinian division, and isolated the West Bank from the Gaza Strip. Presenter, Male #1 The spokesperson for the Hamas movement, Sami Abu Zuhri, accused the West Bank's security agencies of carrying out a broad campaign of arrests among the ranks of the supporters and leadership of his movement. The number of arrests exceeded 100 between last night and this morning. Abu Zuhri regarded these arrests as a failed attempt to shatter the efforts of reconciliation, according to his statement. Guest, Male #1 (Sami Abu Zuhri, Leader in the Hamas Movement) There is a broad and ongoing arrest campaign against the leadership ranks and supporters of the Hamas movement in the occupied West Bank. The arrests in this campaign exceed 100 as of this moment. There are also hundreds of calls by supporters of the movement in the occupied West Bank condemning the arrest campaign, which we see as an attempt to undermine reconciliation efforts, and as further evidence negating claims by the Fatah movement that it desires to reconcile. http://news.linktv.org/videos/mosaic-news-091312?start=199 US embassy protests continue to spread across the Middle East, reports Al Jazeera. The capitals of Yemen and Egypt continue to experience violence over an anti-Islam film broadcast on the Internet. Thu, 13 Sep 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://news.linktv.org/videos/mosaic-news-091312 United States, Israel, Iran, 2012 US diplomatic missions attacks, Nuclear program of Iran, Islam, Tehran, International Atomic Energy Agency, Bahrain, Palestinians Presenter, Female #1 The scope of demonstrations against the film that offended Islam has broadened, as protests spread today to several Arab and Muslim cities. Presenter, Male #1 Yemenis raided the US embassy's headquarters in Sanaa to protest the film, as Yemeni security forces opened fire to disperse the demonstrators. Presenter, Female #1 Our Al Jazeera correspondent said that the clashes around the embassy's headquarters ended just a short while ago. The storming of the US embassy in Sanaa followed a demonstration in which participants held signs and chanted slogans denouncing the production of the film and its broadcast on the Internet. Presenter, Male #1 Demonstrators chanted slogans saying that they can tolerate anything but insults to the prophet, peace be upon him. Presenter, Female #1 In Egypt, Mufti Dr. Ali Jomaa called on the United Nations to issue an international agreement to criminalize insulting religions, their symbols, and holy religious sites. Presenter, Male #1 The mufti denounced the violence being perpetrated against foreign embassies. On the other hand, the Egyptian Ministry of Health said that nearly 20 people were injured during escalating confrontations. They said these confrontations have been ongoing since yesterday around the American embassy in Cairo. Reporter, Male #2 It is the first time since January 28th of last year that the police's armored vehicles have come so close to Tahrir Square like this. It is also the first time over the same period that the police have assumed sole responsibility in dealing with protests of this magnitude, and without the army's assistance. Guest, Male #3 Why should we protest peacefully? We protested peacefully before. There are five armored vehicles firing at us; they're hitting us inside Tahrir Square. That's all I have to say. Guest, Male #4 We demand the expulsion of the American ambassador from Cairo. Reporter, Male #2 The seesaw confrontations, which began in the early morning hours, led to injuries and suffocation among the ranks of the demonstrators and the police, as well as other material losses. This is in the absence of any efforts to calm the situation by either side of the concerned parties, especially by the political blocs and factions. Guest, Male #5 What is happening is not right. There is a better way than this, and a better way to express ourselves. We can stand and defend the prophet, our country, and the security of our country in a better way than this. Better than attacking my brother, or vandalizing his car. This embassy is mine; it's my property, not America's property. Guest, Male #6 This is for America to offer an official apology, because our prophet is red line for us all. Reporter, Male #2 After the government issued a statement condemning the offense against the prophet, peace be upon him, the Egyptian president condemned the insulting film in a recorded message, before embarking on a tour to Europe. Guest, Male #7 (Mohamed Morsi, Egyptian President) We, the Muslims, and all Egyptians, reject any form of insult to our prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, whom we would sacrifice our lives for. Reporter, Male #2 But it seems that all of these statements of condemnation were not enough to absorb the anger of the protestors, who are awaiting the organization of demonstrations and protests on Friday in front of the main mosques in Cairo and other places, as called for by Islamic blocs. Reporter, Male #2 While some see the clashes near the US embassy in Cairo as a test of the relationship between the police and demonstrators under the reign of President Morsi, others see it as a test of the relationship between the president himself, who belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood, and other Islamic groups and movements in the country. Abdel Basir Hassan, Al Jazeera, near the American embassy in Cairo. http://news.linktv.org/videos/mosaic-news-083012?start=35 BBC Arabic reports that the Syrian delegation left the Non-Aligned Movement summit's conference hall in Tehran when Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi criticized the Syrian government in his speech, part of a growing number of verbal attacks at the summit.

Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem accused the Egyptian president of inciting further bloodshed in Syria. As for the Iranian president, he accused the West of fabricating reasons to launch wars and crises to profit from the arms trade. Reporter, Male #1 Amid concerns that it will turn into a political platform for different agendas, the 16th summit of the Non-Aligned Movement opened in Tehran. In attendance are the presidents of 29 countries and governments, as the ministerial-level meeting represented the remaining members of the movement. India's participation was notable, and was represented by its prime minister. The presidents of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Egypt were also present. And for the Gulf countries, only Qatar attended the summit and was represented by its prime minister. In addition, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the Secretary-General of the Arab League Nabil al-Arabi were present. Reporter, Male #1 The Syrian crisis, the Iranian nuclear issue, and the Gulf-Iranian relations were the main topics discussed on the sidelines of the summit. The dispute over the means to solve these issues was clear, especially when it comes to the Syrian crisis. The Syrian delegation left the conference hall as soon as Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi started his speech, addressing what he called the revolutions of the Arab Spring and the situation in Syria. Reporter, Male #1 Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem confirmed that the delegation withdrew in opposition to Morsi's speech that incited further Syrian bloodshed. Morsi had attacked the regime in Damascus, and proposed his initiative again to solve the crisis. Guest, Male #2 (Mohamed Morsi, Egyptian President) We all have to announce our full solidarity with the struggle of those seeking freedom and justice in Syria, and translate this sympathy into a clear political vision that supports a peaceful transition to a democratic system of rule. Reporter, Male #1 The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic Ayatollah Khamenei dedicated a large portion of his opening speech to discuss Iran's right to using nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, saying that Tehran is not seeking to obtain nuclear weapons. Guest, Male #3 (Ayatollah Khamenei, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran) We are committed to not seeking nuclear weapons, but this does not mean forgoing our right to peaceful use of nuclear power. The peaceful use of nuclear energy is a right of every country, without being subjected to pressure from other countries. Reporter, Male #1 Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad did not miss the opportunity to attack the West, and to accuse Western countries of fabricating crises and wars around the world, and of monopolizing the Security Council. Guest, Male #4 (Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iranian President) There is a monopoly over the Security Council that strengthens Israel's control of Palestinian land and justifies the killings in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iraq. This monopoly does not lead to justice, because independent governments cannot refer to any authority to guarantee their rights. Reporter, Male #2 On the other hand, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's speech sharply condemned Iran's denial of the Holocaust during WWII, and Israel's right to exist. Iranian leaders and media outlets are pointing to the summit as evidence that Westerners have failed to isolate Iran over its nuclear program that led to UN-imposed sanctions on the country. Reporter, Male #2 Observers believe that Tehran's summit for the countries of Non-Aligned Movement will shape a diplomatic movement that may affect the path of the Syrian crisis, either negatively or positively, based on the outcome of meetings held at the sidelines of the summit. But, there is no doubt that it will constitute a platform dedicated to taking a stance on Israel and the Palestinian cause, and will work on easing Arab-Iranian relations.
