user: Q: TEXT: Australian journalist Peter Greste has revealed it was traumatic leaving his colleagues behind in a Cairo prison and he didn't truly believe he was being freed until he was seated on a plane bound for Cyprus. Greste has used his first interview since being deported from Egypt to call on the country to release other detained journalists including Al Jazeera colleagues Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohamed. 'You spend 400 days in such close proximity with people and you really get to know them very, very well,' the 49-year-old told Al Jazeera in Cyprus on Monday. Scroll down for video. Australian journalist Peter Greste speaks during an interview a day after his release from prison in Egypt. Greste appears in a defendants' cage in a courthouse near Tora prison in Cairo, Egypt in May last year. 'So it was a very difficult moment walking out of that prison, saying goodbye to those guys, not knowing how much longer they will have to put up with this.' Greste said even when driving to the airport on Sunday he wondered if his ordeal was really coming to end given there'd been other moments when freedom appeared imminent but was 'snatched away'. 'So I really didn't want to let myself believe it really was happening until I got my backside on a seat on the plane with my brother Mike and we knew, then, that for me at least, this is over.' The Australian said the key to surviving jail had been to stay fit physically, mentally and spiritually. Greste exercised by running, kept mentally fit by studying and remained spiritually strong through meditation.

Greste's family gave a press conference after he was released following 400 days in an Egyptian prison. 'It was a way of enforcing a kind of discipline on myself and dealing with each day as it came,' he said. 'Hopefully ... I've come out of it not too damaged.' The award-winning correspondent described his release as a massive step forward. 'I just hope that Egypt keeps going down this path with the others,' he said. 'If it's appropriate for me to be free it's right for all of them to be freed.' Greste wasn't expecting to be released ahead of a scheduled retrial. However while running on Sunday the prison warden called him over and told him to pack his things. 'I said "What do you mean?" and he said "You're going" and I said "Where, to another prison?" and he said 'No the (Australian) embassy is coming they'll be here in an hour'.' Greste said Monday that his freedom was something of a 'rebirth" and that key to his well-being while incarcerated for more than a year was exercising, studying and meditating.

Greste said he is now looking forward to "watching a few sunsets and the stars" and "feeling the sand under my toes". Fahmy's relatives expect the Canadian-Egyptian to also be deported under a decree passed by Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi that allows for the transfer of foreigners on trial. Canada said Greste's release was positive and it remained 'very hopeful' Fahmy would be freed soon. Al Jazeera also vowed to pursue the campaign to free its other two journalists. But Heather Allan, head of newsgathering at the channel, admitted she wasn't confident Mohamed, an Egyptian, would be released. '(But) are we going to keep on fighting it? Absolutely,' she said. 'We are not going to leave him there.' Mohamed's family has pinned their hopes on a presidential pardon or his acquittal on appeal. The journalists were arrested in late 2013 for allegedly aiding the black-listed Muslim Brotherhood.

Q: TEXT: (CNN)  -- The commander of the nuclear-powered submarine USS Hampton has been relieved of his command amid an inquiry into misconduct by crew members, the U.S. Navy said Friday. The USS Hampton appears in an undated photograph. Cmdr. Michael B. Portland lost his post "due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command," the Navy said in a statement. Cmdr. William J. Houston will replace Portland. The crew neither maintained inspection records nor conducted the required inspection of chemical levels associated with the cooling system of the ship's nuclear reactor, Navy officials said. The crew then went back and falsified existing records to make it appear the work had been done. "There is not, and never was, any danger to the crew or the public," the Navy said. Portland's demotion brings to 10 the number of people relieved of duty on the submarine in the wake of the misconduct probe. Six personnel have been punished for forging inspection records for the cooling system, the Navy officials said Monday. Those six -- one officer and five enlisted personnel -- received a "nonjudicial punishment" after other Navy personnel discovered their actions, the officials said. The Navy said Friday that one officer and two enlisted crew members have been temporarily reassigned to Submarine Squadron 11. Portland also will be temporarily reassigned to that squadron. The misconduct was discovered September 17 but not made public until after completion of an initial inquiry. A fact-finding investigation is under way, and further action against Navy crew members is possible, a Navy official said. The Hampton remains in port in San Diego, California. In all, the $900 million vessel's crew includes 13 officers and 116 enlisted personnel. E-mail to a friend.
