Sarah Montague talks to Hala Shukrallah of Egypt's Constitution Party. In a country polarised between the military and Islamists, how will she gain support?

More than 500 supporters of Egypt's former president Mohammed Morsi have been sentenced to death. It's the latest crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood - now banned under the country's new constitution. HARDtalk speaks to the newly elected leader of a party founded to 'save' the revolution of three years ago. Hala Shukrallah is the first female leader of a political party in Egypt and the first Christian. But in a country polarised between the military and Islamists, the liberal secular opposition have struggled to gain support. Does Egypt deserve a better opposition?
