An Interview with Egyptian President al-Sisi

Lyse Doucet speaks to Egyptian President Sisi ahead of his visit to London this week.

Lyse Doucet visits Cairo鈥檚 presidential palace for an exclusive interview with Egypt鈥檚 new strongman, President Abd-al-Fattah al-Sisi. After spending four decades in the military, he came to power in elections last year after the controversial ousting of the elected Muslim Brotherhood. He says he has a roadmap for democracy. But not everyone is convinced. What are his plans for his own country? What about Egypt鈥檚 wider role in the region? And, will the threat from the so-called Islamic State continue to grow?
