impact of these revelations as well. the focus is now on egypt surely the u.s. has decided to go ahead with the delivery of four fighter jets to egypt despite president obama's order to review military aid to cairo this comes at a time of deep divisions in the country were emotions are running high after the overthrow of president mohamed morsi last week let's take a closer look shall we america. in the country in twenty eleven when hosni mubarak was still in office egypt received one point three billion dollars worth of military aid plus a much smaller two hundred fifty million dollar economic support package but it was then ousted and in twenty twelve mohamed morsi became the new president is muslim brotherhood movement the approval of the u.s. government which continued to provide the same amount of aid and that aid situation remains largely unchanged despite the political turmoil gripping egypt and the lack of a legitimate government now if america's plans remain unchanged the support will continue next year too but none of that cash has improved the lives of ordinary citizen

word now that state-run newspaper in egypt, the best source we can come up with is reporting that the country's military has now told the duly elected democratic president of egypt, mohamed morsi, you are no longer president. a military coup has just happened. the military has taken over. they are moving in to take over the government. a live look at anti-government protesters in tahrir square and now a statement is being read on state tv. is this accurate? this is new to me. this has just happened. a statement is being read. we were told that members of different forces within the country, the military would speak and the members of the muslim brotherhood, a pope from hoot religious group -- a pope from another religious group would be coming up. do we have translation for this? i know we have translation. oh well, we don't have translatio getting translation in the background. we will let you know what happened. the military had set a deadline for president mohamed morsi to strike a deal with those protesters. the deadline passed four hours ago and morsi refused to step down. the pr

the wake of the coup in egypt what is the future of democracy in the region i think democracy still has a great chance in the middle east democracy and the transition to it does not happen overnight in anyone's country and to think it was going to go without any hiccups in all of these different countries was a bit naive so i'm very optimistic for the future but stephen it was you know it was unconstitutional and he was removed from power we don't know what's going to happen to him he hasn't been charged with a crime but he's being held i mean this is a lot more complicated than just unfortunate this time around. well i agree and in egypt you know the jury is still out we don't know where the military is going to take the new government and what the people in egypt are going to do so we're not. quite ready to bless them and say everything is fine by any means but the fact that they turned back mr morsi is efforts that we're moving away from democracy in the military side with the people of egypt does not necessarily mean that they're condemned to a cycle of violence and were. russia

president of egypt, mohamed morsi. that is tahrir square. that was the heart and soul of the revolution some 2 1/2 years ago that ultimately ousted the then leader, hosni mubarak. on the right side of your screen, just a couple miles away, folks with quite a different perspective. these are pro-morsi demonstrators. according to a morsi spokesperson we've been in touch with here at cnn, there has been a coup in egypt. the fact is that the military, according to the spokesperson, has taken over. according to our senior correspondent ben wedeman there on the ground in cairo, was reporting on our air a little while ago that mohamed morsi is in the republican guard complex. we believe. what he's doing there, we don't know. according to witnesses the army has erected barbed wire barriers around barracks where mohamed morsi is currently. we're awaiting a statement from the military. what will they say? what is the road map for egypt as we look ahead? we'll take you live to cairo here momentarily. in the meantime, back to sanford, florida. back to this crime scene technician talking specificall

in egypt. if the president steps down, the prime minister should take hold of the country. this is according to the new constitution that the muslim brotherhood has formed. as this constitution was proven unconstitutional from the beginning, it seems that the army will refer to the 1976 constitution, an older version that states that if the president steps down, the president of the supreme court should rule the country temporarily until further elections. this judicial authority is responsible to monitor the presidential elections. >> thank you for that update. we will see how the scores of people there react as well. he world is watching events in egypt with increasing concern. elements are urging dialogue rather than violence and demonstrations, warning against intervention by the egyptian military. >> the size and scale of the demonstrations against president morsi caught most of the world and washington by surprise. it is also the anti-american nature to the protest. the u.s. secretary of state was in the region, but his focus was on restarting peace talks between the israelis

military coup. it insists it intervened for the sake of egypt and at the behest and will of the people. so it invited opposition leaders, religious leaders, members of civic society and secular society to the stage when it made this announcement. if you'd seen it, what was it now, some 12 hours ago, it looked at least like it was a military coup. you had the leader of the military, the defense minister, in full military attire making the announcement on state tv. but he was, as i say, surrounded by members of various groups trying to make this look like a very inclusive transitional period when he made the announcement to egypt and the rest of the world. mohamed elbaradei spoke for the opposition, calling this a new e era for the 2012 revolution, resetting the button, as it were, for egypt going forwards. well, tahrir square below me here this morning is relatively quiet. very quiet if you compare it to the scenes of just some 12 hours ago, when this announcement was made. then the square was absolutely packed. tens, hundreds of thousands if not a million people. more than you saw here
