investors are positioned in egypt. when you look at africa funds, you're already positioned in egypt. i do not expect much more liquidity. egypt has become much more attractive. there is a pool of money that can go into egypt, but it depends on how attractive the valuations are. , if you look of the market, it has priced in some of that and that is why we have been saying egypt is up from the .anuary lows you can value the devaluation or float, whatever we want to call it has been priced in. how much? we don't know. but how much is it going to go from there. i think we will see the market -- -- if i was going to ask you are an investor and you want to get money out or take advantage of the enthusiasm around the devaluation, at what cost are you going to do that, and what will it cost to ahmed: that? liquidity and --repatriate that? let's think practically. in the an investor, short-term i will take money out until i am comfortable enough ncb valuations are attractive enough and confident enough that if i put my money i

egypt has become much more attractive in terms of dollar value. they were not invested in egypt. there is a lot of money there that can go into egypt, but it depends on how attractive the valuations are. today, the valuations are quite attractive, but if you look at the market, it has priced in some of that. we have been saying egypt is up from january lows. about 24% year-to-date. you could argue that the devaluation or float or whatever you want to call it has been priced in. how much is priced in we still do not know, but how much is it going to go from there? i expect at least in the short term, we will see the markets heading off because investors need to get money out and it also depends on capital controls. >> i was going to ask. if you are an investor and you want to get money out because you are taking profits or taking advantage of some of the enthusiasm, at what cost are you going to have to do that and how easy will it be to repatriate those profits? >> capital flows have not been removed yet. i expect that to happen very soon. if an investor -- let's think practicall

then he pulled the trigger three times. >> egypt is not a police state. the state is part of the police force. that's closer to the truth. the police, the secret police, the army -- that's the real state. we're just a small part of the whole. >> police violence is nothing new. before the revolution, the police filmed their own actions. they weren't afraid. not much has changed since then. >> we still haveve these proble, of course.e. they haven't been solved yet. there are still police attacks and corruption. >> mohammed used to be a police officer. afteter the revolution, he tried to reform the police force from within. he was m made to retire early at age 50. he assures his son that there arare some honest police office. but ththey don't stand a chance against the network of corrupt police, officials, and politicians left over from the mubarak era. >> every free person should speak out if someone is humiliated or treated unfairly. i'm against police brutality. the victim could very well be my father or brother or even me. >> these doctors are on strike.

secondly, as there are cases in which they can operate -- like in egypt right now -- tunisia, egypt,, as opposed to and finally once again this is a question involving narratives. what does it take to fix? is about security or autocracy? it is about enabling civil society to exist and present citizens with demands to be at best responded to by accountable governments. stephen: so, we are running shy on time. to take the two that i wanted to hear in the two from the side and we are just going to go through those questions and try to answer those four questions in the panel, but then we will be out of time, i'm afraid. ma'am, you had one? the two women behind you? and then we will take you, ma'am. >> hi, i'm a jordanian consultant with a focus on government. going back to the gentleman's question regarding civil society , i have a lot of hope in civil society, but in the absence of political will on the part of government, this space is very limited. how would you discuss options beyond foreign government assisting but also nongovernmental organizations? i'm going to throw another group

is, again, jurisdiction of the central bank of egypt. doing itr, they are fine in terms of really the needs and the backlog as well. so the process is taking place in a very positive way. be clear, then, before the end of the year? >> i cannot give you a time. >> confidence. it's an interesting word, isn't it? you had that confidence last week. about the biggest question that investors have had for you, the conversations foreignaving with investors. >> look, it's all about confidence. the entire thing is about confidence. and confidence in the policies that you put in, okay? when you decide to do something that has not been done or 40pt for the last 30 years in terms of, i mean, in such the currency way, that gives a lot of confidence. when people see that the system and transparent, that gives confidence cht. do the consolidation, that gives confidence, by putting together the right policies. >> let's talk about the i.m.f. many have been waiting for this since 2011, so well-done. but the chinese, we understand, billion. have you receive

around 30% compared to egypt which is about 40%. that: one of the things has been bandied about is increasing fees when it comes to non-oil revenue, raising taxes. would that go some way to alleviate the situation? >> absolutely. you need to transform the economy from this dependency on oil revenue to something else. you need to have a growing economy. the government has been conscious of the concern the private sector has expressed with municipality fees and taxes. they revise those municipality these down by 99% and they do that because they are aware the private sector and the economy overall cannot and should not be withstanding such high fees and taxes. thes trial and error in government is aware they need to be changing as they go along. tracy: one of the things we have been talking about is the opec meeting next week. will there be a production deal? the burden will fall mostly on saudi arabia. how much does that complicate their attempt to boost revenue? it's a difficult issue. saudi arabia needs to have oil above $55 in the

my research is civil relations between turkey, egypt, and israel. i think, listening to you, it's fascinating how you are describing analytically the arab world and egypt. but a lot of what you're saying applies to other cases on the periphery of the arab world or the periphery of the arab countries and turkey in particular, i argue it is going through a regime turned where it is turning into the making of the mubarak regime. civil society and places of expression and all that. there is a ping-pong regional order, imitating one another. i guess, i wonder, because we have the report on that, is there a center for middle east policies. is there peripheral vision to other countries within the region, including turkey, including israel, of course, and the crackdown on society and israel as well? the law that, you know you have to account for who is funding you internationally. a lot of what you have been describing seems to me like a conversation everywhere in the region at large. and is a part of the framework you would encourage adopting and not just

egypt shook. while tutankhamun's predecessor was creating a terrifying political and religious situation on the one hand, on the other he was able to infuse egyptian art with a revolutionary human warmth. akhenaten's ideas were strong enough to echo down through the next few kings. tutankhamun's reign, shortly thereafter, was to bear witness to this great flowering of artistic achievement. while there were many tombs larger than his, filled with vast arrays of objects, it has been argued that no tomb--other than akhenaten's-- would have contained objects of a higher creative quality than tutankhamun's. howard carter had this to say about the art found in tutankhamun's tomb: howard carter: "among the immense quantities of material "in tutankhamun's tomb-- as also exhibited "in the beautiful reliefs of his reign "in the great colonnade of the temple of luxor-- "we find extreme delicacy of style, "together with character of the utmost refinement. "in the case of a painted scene, vase, or statue, "the

that's what we have in egypt. we have no civil society channels, we have no excessive political challenge because the parliament and the party system are so tightly managed, we have no free speech channels so that part is boiling very fast. it is far more dangerous than the situation before the uprising. >> i love the phrase the leader isn't the river to the people, the people are river that if the leader does not channel will spill over in the streets. that's a good way to put it. >> try it on him. [laughter] >> we have microphones? >> yes. >> right here in the front. for throw. if you will keep the questions short, we will keep the answers short. >> short questions but long answers. my research is on civil military relations in turkey, egypt and israel, and i think, listening think, listening to you, it's fascinating how you are describing egypt and the arab world, but a lot of what you are saying applies to other cases. turkey in particular, i argue it is going through a regime astern where does turning into a

what is next for egypt's markets? we have the imf loan, devaluation. things we were waiting for for a long time. what are you watching for in the week ahead? mohamed: the key thing is the contained improvement in the foreign exchange flows, which has been showing is a very good indicators in the first week. the key thing here is these reforms start to pay off in terms of the pickup in the long growth and it dominates activity across the board. --s really looking forward all of these reforms are helping the state grow. manus: the risk to egypt is, of course hyperinflation -- and we are looking at core cpi. nearly 16%. what does that mean for the central bank? the egyptianisk central bank needs to raise rates again, more so on the inflation side than on the currency side? mohamed: 600 basis points -- actually markets have gone up from that. it has increased rates of further from that point. theres the key point is has to be proper tightening market policy, which from a rates prospective head of been already -- respective had been invested. the central ba

turkey, iran, egypt, even saudi arabia. their act deemed statesmanship that is very impressive at the practical level both a substantive level, i don't particularly want to live in a country like russia and they have a lot of problems in terms of how they deal with it their country and other people. they are not an attractive model, but they are certainly out in the united states of the western powers in much of the region. people do in a very mercantile business that they get something, these are not lovey-dovey long-term relationships based on any kind of shared values other than autocrats rule and the willingness to use force is in the area much more decisive than before and therefore there is a stronger position. i don't think they have a long-term future. they will make deals that deserves them. they don't care about are people really. they care about russian people. the strength of their country and protect their interests. de la salle out to charlotte.if they can get something significant in return. they flip and flo

let's cross over to the story unfolding in egypt. the countries trying to reduce its borrowing costs after abandoning currency controls earlier this month. it the egyptian pound has lost 47%, the world's worst performing currency. manus cranny joins us now from cairo where he's been speaking exclusively with the country's finance minister. bond is set to cap the market. do we know any further details beyond that? manus: they have tempted our appetite. standard and poor has raised the credit limit on egypt from negative to stable. this is a finance minister who's looking for a bit of fair went .o get in there >> we were planning to do it by the end of new member but there has been volatility since the election that has taken place, maybe because of the change in philosophy and the plan of the president elect. we are still trying to do it, maybe next week. december,ond week of markets will either be quiet of this. how do i participate in the future of egypt? market --on is the the money in the market right now. how much more will we se

in other news, egypt's court of appeals has overturned a sentence against mohamed morsi. revolving around accusations accusations of espionage. he is no longer facing execution. correspondent talked about this extraordinary backlit by the court. has twoppeals court that has overturned two sentences against mohamed morsi, accusing him of hatching a plan, sending militants to training camps, run by hezbollah. including the spiritual leader -- it is quite amazing, the turnaround, coming on the heels last week, when -- to perhaps showing a seachange here in egypt. the they are less afraid of power that mohamed morsi has and the political leaders have in the country. upheld ah, the court ,0-year sentence against him using deadly force against protesters once he was in office. cases areese other overturned in a retrial. annette: with that in mind, does the muslim brotherhood still have any presence at all within egypt? >> certainly their presence has been massively curtailed since the 2013 military overthrows. tens of thousands of members have been jailed, including top leaders

, morocco, even some countries as opposed to egypt. finally, once again, this is a question of overanalysis. what does it take to fix the season? proper security, proper democracy? it's to aid in civil society, to exist, to thrive and to assist citizens and their demands to be addressed, to be responded to by a government. >> we are running shy on time. what i'm going to do is take the two that i pointed to hear and i'm going to take to from this side and we're going to go through those questions and then we're going to try to answer those four questions in the panel andthen we are going to be out of time i'm afraid . any, you had one. >> the woman to behind you and then we will get you after that. >> marissa, i'm a jordanian in development with a focus on governance and going back to the gentleman's question regarding civil society, i have a lot of hope in civil society and in the absence of political will on the part of government, most places are very limited and you discussed options but beyond a foreign government assisting but al

egypt. there is no local foreign money. >> no logical reason why there should be a connection. >> egypt looks quite attractive from here. joe was referencing this new report. u.s. dollar is a near fear gauge. a shocker dollar can depress demand for credit while reflecting less appetite for risky assets. the surge should not be interpreted as a sign of confidence. argumentk there is an the u.s. economy is going to have a stronger growth story next year. markets are going to reward that growth. in terms of equity markets. i don't think it is a negative trade. we have seen parts of that. joe: one more question before the break. know the frontier markets better than anyone else. do you have to study governance in those countries to make investment decisions? do you see signs of deterioration along the likes of which you see when you go around the world? >> i have seen a lot of investors that they have made this playbook before. agenda,onventional having some positives for investors and some nega

egypt has had a rough 546 years since the revolution. has had a rough five or six y ears since the revolution. it has no choice but to change its policy settings. fiscal adjustment was key to get to feel done. i am encouraged the story has moved on. difficult. will be the weakening of the currency will not bring an early recovery. the plane will be have to be carried by domestic demand. it was tough to get that process going, even tougher to keep it going six months from now. that is when the real test will come for policymakers. >> there is no magic bullet, is there? you're looking at asian economies, a weaker economy is not the boon that it used to be. is that internal demand going to come through? how much added pressure will we see from these inward looking policies from the u.s. and europe? >> i would agree. for each of it is particularly difficult. a weaker currency gives some support to domestic manufacturing. tourism my recovery bit. their portfolio will take some time to turn around. it is a problem in the gcc as well. most deve

warren: i could take all my money and do what they used to do in egypt, i could use that money to build the biggest tomb ever built. we could have it outside omaha, and i could literally get 50,000 guys to put them in loin cloths and haul granite around and make them forget all about egypt in 10 years. the net product of everything i had done in my life would be the world's biggest tomb, and maybe 1000 years from now people would come to omaha to see my tomb, but that strikes me as crazy. even modified versions of it. i just don't get it. michael: a cynic would say you cannot take it with you, although i do remember the cartoon with the family with vultures looking down on this codger on his deathbed and he says, i know i cannot take it with me, but i can take the access code. terre: true. how did you feel the date you gave 99% of your wealth to philanthropy? warren: the timing of what i did in terms of making a pledge to philanthropy was affected by when susie died. when she died first, i had to make a decision of the best way to make use of the claim checks. money that had no utility

relationsh is civil between turkey, egypt, and israel. i think, listening to you, it's fascinating how you are describing analytically the arab world, but a lot of what you're cases onplies to other the periphery of the arab world or the core of the arab countries and turkey in particular, i argue it is going turned where it is turning into the making of .he mubarak machine -- regime civil society and places of expression and all that. there is a ping-pong regional order, imitating one another. , because weonder have the report on that, is there a center for middle east policies. is there periphery to the region , including turkey, including israel, of course, and the crackdown on society and israel as well? for who have to account is funding you internationally. a lot of what you have been describing seems to me like a conversation everywhere in the region at large. if that is the part of framework you would encourage adopting? >> tammy, do you want to take that one? >> sure. yes, i would say politics is politics. while every region has

dubai, egypt, and qatar -- all to focus on today. you, they rose 1.5 percent, the highest since september. the rsi is at 70. just checking in on egypt there. we pop that in for a little bit of a difference. you have a nice move from egypt. of course, a big rally there. the seventh day, a stay in a row , led by the big banks. we have not seen that in a month. look at that egyptian market go. onfell a little bit earlier the open market yesterday. angie? right, manus, thanks. we are focusing on china after trade. month of sluggish we have steven angle here to break down all of the numbers. what does it all mean? >> it means global demand is still weak and a weekend of you yuan has not benefited exporters. the numbers are lower than forecast by economists. oferts saw a bell curve 6.3%. 10% follow september's fall. seven straight months of export following now. we were expecting a fall of just under 1%. imports, too, those have been in contraction now for 23 out of 24 consecutive months. it's improving, but were some expected in october.

we're going to go back to egypt and the government has secured a huge international loan. there is a lot of opposition. lawsuit has been filed amending that parliament have a say on this loan from the international monetary fund and the economic reforms ago with it. among the tough measures, the egyptian government has floated the pound allowing it to weaken against the doctor -- a against the dollar. officials say the reforms are worthwhile because the loan will help build up the economy and encourage international investment. some argue the move will raise the cost of living for ordinary egyptians. our correspondent in cairo has been finding out more. reporter: egypt has received the first installment of the imf's massive bailout. -- and 12ion over billion total. further payments will depend on the country's economic performance and how well it implements for the reforms. cairo took crucial steps to qualify for the loan including cutting fuel subsidies and lifting controls on the egyptian pound. the bailout is expected to pull back private investors who have turned their

they are going into egypt, sometime in 2017, 2018. and those are big markets to stay and be competitive in. there's a lot of competition for online retailers. it will be interesting to see how they play out in that market. >> be philippines is setting its sights on billions of dollars of investments. they are marketing plans at roadshows across the gulf. let's bring in regina lay. what kind of projects are we talking about here. >> hello, angie. kuchar's oil reserves as well as slanted the exports to the uae. they came home from a recent roadshow covering the tar, of a dobby, and to buy. of hundredscharge of industrial projects. they are identifying projects -- pockets of opportunity and breaking into untapped market like russia and iran. buildrse, they want to economic and defense ties with russia and are planning on a state visit, possibly next year. manus: why the sudden interest in the middle east? why the sudden interest in these kinds of markets? >> hi, manus. the numbers alone till the story. the improved investment and at $2.2

mubarak in egypt ago. i know that the fall of the shah affected how the reagan administration handled narcos in the philippines. he went very fast. he was often why. his feet barely touched the ground. officials from the reagan administration studied what happened to the carter administration, how they handled the shah. with narcos and we've got to get it out of here fast. the bleeding and event took place. it was an extended period and it really i think officials from my readings would say that was very destabilizing for this national security. >> thank you so much for what you have done. a breath of fresh air to see someone like yourself writing to some extent closer to the truth. i was 15 when i came out before the revolution, watching everything unfold is still depressing to see and not, the world doesn't understand what exactly has happened. >> yes. >> as a historian, i'm hoping more and more people like yourself will capture what's happening in that region as far as human rights, rights of women, for

every year in egypt, 1.8, 1.9 million people are born. almost 10 million new egyptians since the uprising. so the trend is frightening. the reason it is frightening is because the arab governments despite some of the good things they do are totally incompetent at managing their countries and i think the fact that they continue demand to exercise military rule under the guys of fake parliaments and constitutions that are not respected, et cetera, is clearly traceable to issues related to palestine. part of the uprisings were due to the sense among large numbers of citizens that their governments neither had efficacy nor legitimacy. they were not able to provide them with their basic needs and sense of hope and rights as political men and women and citizens. their governments were not able to address the challenge of israel and zionism, either through war or through peace. therefore, the degrading of the legitimacy of arab governments and regimes, i believe was significantly influenced by their incompetent who resfons to the challenge of zi

and change it from the russian camp to the egypt camp and he got involved and he rescued egypt's third army. the purpose was to get egypt on america's side and as a result of all this he did. so i don't think israel really served the united states' interests in the sense that they did so because israel was aligned with the united states. they couldn't turn to the united states so israel was helping the united states solve a problem that it had created. >> i believe we have to conclude this. thank you for being a good audience. >> my books are available outside. >> there's a fabulous lunch outside. i think they'll find out. >>> tonight a discussion on school segregation throughout history. racial segregation in the u.s. is currently maintained by official action and policy. an event hosted airs tonight at 8 eastern on c span. a panel looks at how the trump administration would approach biomedical innovation and health care issues and drug pricing. you can see it starting at 8:00 eastern on c span 2. >>> from president lincoln's cottage in washington, d.c. we'll have a conversation about

but it's a fascinating story as to what took you over to egypt in the first place and, i suspect, got your interest going in this. >> well, yeah, it is an odd story because i didn't know anything about the middle east at all. i was a conscientious objector during vietnam. i didn't -- i was surprised to be given a conscientious objector status out of dallas, texas. it was a little bit surprising. and so i had two weeks to find a job, and you had to -- it had to be 50 miles from home, it had to be low paying, and it had to be nominally in the interests of the united states. and i thought i didn't mind the 50 miles from home. the vietnam era was one of the worst periods in our history, and i wanted to get as far away from america at the time as i could. so i went to the united nations thinking they would give me a low paying job far, far from home. and they said, no, we don't do that, but here's a list of american institutions abroad. and one of them, the american university in cairo, had an office right across the street at 866 u.n. plaza. so i walked across the street. and when i walke

and look across to egypt. unprecedented moves coming in currency.ts the devaluation of the egyptian pound is seeing an 8.3% jump in egyptian stocks. they have also been making changes at the central bank on thursday. basis point increase to key lending rates. interesting we are talking about the pound to egypt and changes to monetary policy. we will bring a back to the u.k. pound and changes in monetary policy. give us what your view is. the set up you have seen -- the sell off you've seen in u.k. gilts. yesterday we saw yield snapback -- several basis points. >> i think the markets are going to continue to be very volatile with respect to gilts. gilts are the ultimate safe haven. so, everybody says. but the reality is investors are not keen to own them when they have been so expensive. i think moves in sterling also have a significant impact on how people are feeling about holding gilts. i would not be surprised to see yields go higher in the current environment, irrespective of all the uncertainty as we get

egypt have? does at one point they would need to basically give out food to individuals in order to be able to buy food. what is the situation now? theight now, the concern is inflationary impact of this flotation. inflation at its highest level so far this decade, and the production -- prediction is that it could go 20% higher by the year's end. the real question is going to be thehere perhaps patience in population to see these kinds of price increases when you haven't seen wages go up anywhere near that kind of of a percentage. be done tot could mitigate the impact of inflation should we start to see it quickly? been talkingave about looking at some measures st terms of profits, co increases on the side of companies in terms of the prices there are marketing their goods at. the government is try to build stockpiles of key commodities ostensibly in case you end up with a major shortage or there's a need to inject additional commodities into the market. as ieal key will be, mentioned earlier, th

he visits, you know, the palace and president mubarak of egypt. but, also, one of the things that's very critical in this is a clipping, which basically says, murtha's trip will influence the direction of the appropriation subcommittee talks. one of the things that congressman murtha sort of distinguished himself by the early part of the 21st century was his expertise in military intelligence, military service, and the service on the appropriations committee. so he becomes a very strong voice for any military action happening by the united states. 9/11 happens. and so we go to war. particularly with, against terrorism and afghanistan. but shortly after that, we find ourselves looking, getting the resolution to go to war in iraq. congressman murtha supports the initial resolution to go to war in iraq like many of his colleagues in congress. but within a few years, he begins to be more critical of that action. and by november of 2005, he introduced -- introduces a resolution to actually pull our troops out of iraq. >> the united states and coalition

eight when the precursors to our internet system but brewster's vision has been like the house andrea egypt mission of libraries that serve all but two have a digital library with everything in supervisor avalos will appreciate this meeting from bootleg grateful dead tapes and concerts to this him and called the way back machine that allows you to look at websites that are changed over time that sometimes people try to hide what used to be on them but it's also access to home movies of our neighborhoods over the years and a lot of their board members promote different issues with the internet archive right on clement street and bunks in your the [inaudible] greenbelt is in an old church but it's an amazing place with vision of the internet and technology used for all and for democracy. the celebration begins tomorrow from five until 9:30 pm. cocktails, taco trucks, hands-on demos are some of the coolest technology stuff that was technology in the hands of regular people. attendees can scan a book that's the other thing. they scan large numbers and volumes of books so that it's not privatize

police from egypt, police from egypt, norway, panama, iraq....even other american cities have to to milwaukee to learn from the 3 next at five, they call it the second city but chicago's cubs are number one...and cbs 58 was there along with others from wisconsin for today's celebration. 3 and we'll show you the newest resident at the milwaukee county zoo. she's a little sleepy, but still a hit with families.keep it right here. 3"reopen" 3 "my dad was a die-hard cubs fan and he passed away in january. he just missed it but we believe that he helped the cubs win the world series." it's that kind of pent-up generational enthusiasm that brought thousands upon thousands out to watch the chicago cubs victory celebration today....massive crowds turned out along the parade route and at grant park, where the parade was scheduled to end.the scenes were sometimes a little scary...some people were seen doing "trust falls" from a statue in the park...and the celebration has been going on for hours. 3 when they opened the gates at grant park today...this is how fans reacted...literally running to get the b

but it's a fascinating story as to what took you over to egypt in the first place and, i suspect, got your interest going in this. >> well, yeah, it is an odd story because i didn't know anything about the middle east at all. i was a conscientious objector during vietnam. i didn't -- i was surprised to be given a conscientious objector status out of dallas, texas. it was a little bit surprising. and so i had two weeks to find a job, and you had to -- it had to be 50 miles from home, it had to be low paying, and it had to be nominally in the interests of the united states. and i thought i didn't mind the 50 miles from home. the vietnam era was one of the worst periods in our history, and i wanted to get as far away from america at the time as i could. so i went to the united nations thinking they would give me a low paying job far, far from home. and they said, no, we don't do that, but here's a list of american institutions abroad. and one of them, the american university in cairo, had an office right across the street at 866 u.n. plaza. so i walked across the street. and when i walke

sort of took the weight of egypt off the arab side of the scales. you may argue whether this promoted or inhibited future conflicts because although the arabs could no long ergo to war, israel could dwrks as happened in 1982 in lebanon and with different conflicts so the question i invite you to consider is if you look at the situation today and if you look at the conflicts today, what is the reason for these and are they traceable back and i think it's possible to trace some things back but it's farfetched to blame the big part of it on that agreement. [ applause ] >> thank you for coming. i'm sorry my voice is a bit like a frog. if i was going bring a map for my talk today i might have brought a map of wisconsin and michigan. [ laughter ] because when we're talking about u.s. policy towards israel and palestine we suddenly have a lot of unknowns and many things that we do know. there's a lot of questions. but i think that while it's very hard to anticipate exactly what u.s. policy is going to look like for the next four years, not only because the

s invited these egyptians to come and talk about the problems facing egypt. could the arab spring survive? they thought it would be interesting to invite an american historian of the american revolution to talk and tell these egyptians, how did we do it as if somehow lessened slightly learned them -- somehow lessens might be learned from the american revolution. that is why i was there. what i'm going to do is i am going to give you the lecture that i gave those egyptians. before the arab spring, there was an atlantic spring, a series of democratic revolutions that spread from the third quarter of the 18th century and went on for 75 years, climaxing with the revolutions of 1848. attempts in almost all of the european states to overthrow the monarchy. almost all of the revolutions failed and by the time needed to -- time you get to abraham lincoln, he realized, and this is the context for his speeches where he says the last best hope -- it looked like democracy was failing everywhere and abraham lincoln is saying if we don't survive maybe the whole dream of ,

the only election in egypt's history is the one that elected dorsey. that was the fairest election they ever had. it was a fair election, but that was the majority not treating the minority well. there were a lot of secular minded people that was frightened by that, and there was fighting in the streets and insecurity. that is what they left behind. it was an impossible situation. the arab spring was so hopeful in the west. we dumped mubarak -- it is actually kind of embarrassing. a lot of political figures embarrassed with the quickness in which obama administration dumped mubarak, and now we have a second mubarak, and we are not complaining about it. but it was -- i don't know what i thought my little talk in the american revolution was going to do, but they thought it would be an interesting contrast. the people, the 30 egyptians that represented the country, they were fairly sophisticated and they spoke english, and they were at each other's throats. the two people from the muslim brotherhood were very quiet and rarely spoke, which suggests somethi

desley: let's go to egypt. it really has been a frustration for investors. we spoke with the finance minister, and he confirmed that he has some serious ambitions for a bond sale. >> we were planning to do it by november, but there has been well until it he since the election has taken place, maybe the change in philosophy of how andeconomy will run basically the time of the president-elect, so there has been some volatility in the market. that is the egyptian finance minister. he is looking at a figure billion and $6 billion to tap the bond market. was signal does that send for investors? positive one. we have all been waiting for a big reset, particularly on the currency in egypt, before taking i would say tentative steps into the egyptian asset markets. we have seen hundreds of millions of dollars going into the country, not just from the imf, but private money as well. and quite frankly in our own business of private wealth management, we are getting phone calls asking us about egypt. i hope they can do it before the end of the year. it will send a very

now, let's take egypt, for example. egypt we could probably do some pretty good vetting. the cc government is a strong ally. it has a pretty good hold on the muslim brotherhood. i'm not saying perfect, but they've done a lot of work in reducing the power of the muslim brotherhood. they have a very, very mature and really strong army. you could do vetting in egypt. yemen, a lot more volatile, a lot more difficult to do vetting. so i think this is going to be a country-by-country decision. pakistan you can do pretty good vetting. so a lot of this is going to depend on, you know, how cooperative is the country we're talking about? how many records can we get? the reason the syrian problem is so bad, the syrian refugees, it's not just if you can't vet them which actually director comey and i think about five members of the obama administration have made clear, that you can't vet these people, these refugees from syria. the problem also is that baghdadi has said he is going to put terrorist operatives in with the refugee population. he's told us he's going to do this. >> right
