Have the business interests of Egypt's military leaders influenced the course of events? The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Yolande Knell in Cairo explains the extent of the army's commercial interests.
Plus, Lesley Curwen talks to Zeinab Al Assam, head of Middle East and North Africa forecasting at the intelligence company, Exclusive Analysis. She suggests that one reason the military forced President Mubarak to step down, was in order to preserve their business interests.
