Stephen Sackur talks to Amr Moussa, a favourite to win Egypt's presidential election, and asks what he makes of the so-called Arab Spring and its meaning for the future of Egypt.

Eygpt will soon go to the polls in its first presidential election since Hosni Mubarak was toppled earlier this year. One of the favourites to win is Amr Moussa who stepped down as secretary general of the Arab League in June, after ten years in the job. But at 74 is he too old especially when so much of the drive to remove Mubarak came from Eygpt's youth? And what does he make of the so called 'Arab Spring' and its meaning for  the future of the region? Amr Moussa talks to Stephen Sackur in Lake Como, Italy.
