[0:00] Tonight at 6
[0:06] >> from around the world and from CBS News
[0:09] in Washington, this is the CBS Evening
[0:12] News with Dan Rather. And tonight,
[0:17] CBS News correspondent Walter Kankite
[0:20] and the first exclusive interview with
[0:22] the new Egyptian leader, Hosny Mubari.
[0:25] >> Good evening. In the two days since the
[0:27] assassination of Anoir Sadat, the
[0:29] handpicked successor, Ashni Mubarak has
[0:31] been moving swiftly trying to
[0:32] consolidate power and to reassure
[0:34] Egypt's allies. But today, he took time
[0:37] out for an interview in Cairo with Water
[0:38] Kankite. The new Egyptian leader's first
[0:41] interview since Tuesday's tragic events.
[0:45] >> The president-elect received us in the
[0:47] living room of his home on the outskirts
[0:49] of Cairo. His left hand is bandaged,
[0:51] covering a wound from a bullet or shell
[0:53] splinter that pierced it as he stood
[0:55] next to Sedat at that fateful moment
[0:57] that was to alter his life and history
[1:00] in a degree yet to be determined. Mr.
[1:03] Vice President, you have said in almost
[1:06] every statement since the tragic events
[1:08] of Tuesday that uh you will continue
[1:12] President Sadat's policies.
[1:15] But do you have any idea now of any new
[1:18] approaches in either international or
[1:21] domestic affairs?
[1:26] Well,
[1:28] I could tell you uh in this field
[1:33] that after President Sadat's unexpected
[1:38] death or assassination,
[1:43] we have to follow
[1:46] the same procedure and the same line.
[1:50] They said in the air force when you were
[1:52] marshal of the air force that your men
[1:55] liked you very much but considered you a
[1:57] strict disciplinarian.
[1:59] Is that right?
[2:00] >> It's correct.
[2:02] >> I like this one.
[2:04] >>
