nuclear standoff by hosting an international conference in moscow all sides are dug in deep with tough sanctions in the air restaurant refuses to relinquish its rights to atomic energy. eleven am in the russian capital you are with marina joshie ballots are being counted in egypt after voters hit the polls to elect the country's first president since former leader hosni mubarak was forced from office last year the muslim brotherhood is claiming the lead based on a count from ninety percent of polling stations are peaceful as leader is in cairo . people are beginning to gather in tough. just as the muslim brotherhood candidate dr mohamed morsi makes the announcement that he has won these elections and that he is egypt's next president the muslim brotherhood claims that ninety nine percent of votes have been counted and according to their own people who were present at all
3:02 am
of the polling stations throughout the country their candidate came in with some through to the point two million votes this is the equivalent of some fifty one point eight percent and they put the contender which i think at forty eight percent no fifty is challenging this he says that this is a deceit of the egyptian people and interestingly enough there is an independent television station here in egypt running reports that it is sufi careers in the lead and they quote independent election observers but it is worth noting that last month during those presidential elections being with the brotherhood gave its own results before the official results were announced and those results were completely accurate it is very likely that the muslim brotherhood could win this election bet it it's just as likely that after which a freak who was the last prime minister in the mubarak era could also when these two contenders have a lot of support and it has been too difficult all addictions to be made before these elections in terms of who will come forward with an ultimate victory these
3:03 am
are important elections but there are a lot of questions that still remain unanswered questions such as what power. of president have this needs to be debated in outlined in this new constitution and of course the overriding question whether or not the military will hand over powers of promises of will on the first of july and indeed even if it does will it continue to control the strings from afar and if yes to watch extent no one can really predict what is going to happen after the results come through certainly the people that i've been polling the most constant reaction i get is that it doesn't matter whether it's morsi wins there are going to be street protests. all to all to egypt and we seen that already today monday morning with the crowds gathering in tokyo square policy reporting there cairo baze dural asaram a ham at all he says there will be public upset no matter which side takes the win . now we've got
3:04 am
a great divide between the supporters and the muslim brotherhood of course dr morsi supporters in both cases are used there will be protests no one is going to be pleased with the results because the divide is extreme in my opinion if mr shifty wins the elections there will be massive protests and demonstrations and i think a lot of the people whether or not you are muslim brotherhood supporters or revolutionaries or reformers will actually retreat to the streets of tahir and actually shout weyerhaeuser revolution gone because you cannot have a remnant of the x. regime lead us into this new wave of transition but in the case that the muslim brotherhood candidate dr morsi wins there will be a lot of depressed revolutionaries and anti muslim brotherhood supporters will feel that egypt now is now in you know embarking on and on
3:05 am
a different level of idiology which will actually take place if dr morsi wins now on the way here on r t spinning syria as reports of you killings and massacres in the country remain unconfirmed foreign officials and spend doctors are jumping on the chance to sell their own version of events warrant out in a few minutes. greece's new democracy party has begun talks of forming a new coalition government it follows its victory in the country's parliamentary election however the party fell well short of receiving a majority in sunday's poll new democracy will need help from the socialists to implement the bailout and try to keep greece afloat in the eurozone it's a clear repeat of last month's vote after which coalition talks collapsed prompting the country to go to the ballots again as r.t. is going to reports greece's economic condition will be one of the top themes at today's g. twenty summit in mexico. as far as global economy greece is on everyone's mind
3:06 am
right now if somebody elections there showed an outcome that is likely to ease fears around the world at least temporarily of a greek exit from the seventeen nation euro zone greece's economy falls out of the euro zone investors will become nervous about other financial issue countries such as italy spain that would likely drive up borrowing costs for these countries and that's already happening they'd be constantly seeking international bailouts europe would be trapped in a vicious circle that would send shock waves across the global financial system what's at the core of the problem as many see it here is nations that believe beyond their means some take it too far and the message is they should be more responsible what's interesting that you twenty summit started four years ago when america's living beyond its means brought down the global economy back then the leaders of the world's top twenty commies got together and marshal the trillion dollars to rescue the world from the credit crisis it became clear to everyone that
3:07 am
the world is so interconnected now that irresponsible actions of one of the countries can trigger a domino effect and have huge impact on others of course it's not just the global economy that the leaders are here for their very pressing political let's say war and peace issues on the agenda with regards to syria the ongoing violence there is of extreme concern to everyone as far as how to go forward there are some differences even big president putin and president obama are meeting early on monday is going to be the first bilateral meeting since the russian leader took office in may taking place a challenging time as we'll see what they will have to say washington and moscow are accusing each other of still being violence in syria the u.s. says russia provides weapons that assad uses to kill civilians moscow rejects the claim and says it's only supplied air defense systems under existing contracts russia says the u.s. contributes to the violence in syria by ordinary arms supplies to the rebels we know that saudi arabia and qatar. actively supplying weapons to syrian armed
3:08 am
opposition groups washington is said to coordinate their efforts moscow believes those are actions that undermine kofi annan six point peace plan which calls for end of violence on all sides and dialogue both russia and the us agreed on the kofi annan peace plan which was designed to enable the series to choose their own future eventually but they see very differently on how to reach that goal present with him by the way did not attend the g eight summit in the us in may he sent to the prime minister it was a signal to some that the g. twenty is now seen as a better platform for talks because it's more inclusive you have trying to india and other global players who also get to have a say on global affairs. the un has demand of women children the elderly and injured to be evacuated from syrian combat zones following the suspension of its observer mission heavy fighting continues in towns across syria with scores of people being killed in clashes between the opposition and government troops on
3:09 am
sunday activists say regime forces trying to root out rebels from urban areas by heavy shelling in central city of homes they also say that in the town of duma just outside the capital damascus rebels opened fire on a boss of soldiers killing eight u.s. is now consulting its allies on what to do about the escalation of violence but has acknowledged a previous style intervention to topple the assad government would be difficult art is more important has more. as the syrian crisis becomes ever more brutal by the day. critics say that key players trying to resolve the conflict have been raising more questions than answers unfortunately what we are seeing is reports that are in our early ruling the participants in one side of this conflict and that's very very dangerous because the words when you hear only one side of the information you're getting is always in their favor there were. the massacres
3:10 am
committed and close range of over one hundred people the vast majority of them women and children some killed by heavy weapons the other killed it seems by every indication by the should be a militias acting on behalf of the government western leaders were quick to blame the assad government for last month's houla massacre even when their own media couldn't draw the same conclusion b.b.c. world news editor john williams was in syria he reported quote the details of exactly who carried out the attacks how and why were still unclear yet the old line of blame damascus was still being shouted the reason that the situation on the crisis has become so good and that there is now a space for these good elements to come in and cause mayhem in syria is because the syrian government has failed to live up to its commitments under the u.n. i am plan its commitments to the international community as britain scolded the
3:11 am
assad government for bypassing the peace plan the free syrian army was planning a bypass of its own demanding that joint special envoy kofi annan should quote issue a declaration announcing the failure of this plan unquote freeing the opposition to carry out military operation against the government. we did it deliberately meanwhile channel four journalist alex thompson claimed syrian rebels deliberately let him into a death trap to be killed by government forces according to thompson's account one rebel said. the democracy then comes the washington divide over who is aiding damascus one voice says we have confronted the russians about stopping their continued arms shipments to to syria and we are concerned about the latest information we have that there are attack helicopters on the way from russia to syria while another says the opposite i have not seen reporting that indicates.
3:12 am
that the russians are providing attack helicopters to the syrians i have just not seen that the us flip flop on brusha coincided with the un's fancy footwork regarding the state of syria the united nations for the first time saw a u.n. official describe the situation in syria as a civil war in an interview with reuters he went under secretary general for peacekeeping operations are they let's sue confirmed that the syrian crisis could be characterized as a civil war declaration countered by the un the next day i think it's clear that it's not for us to determine or formally. or characterize the nature of the conflict in syria a conflict that many say isn't just black and white but illustrates many shades of grey following sixteen months of conflict the united nations is leading efforts to stop the violence in syria however the information war taking place outside the country may prove to be the biggest barrier to the elusive goal of fully
3:13 am
understanding and solving the problem of marine up or not i r t me you are always more reports and analysis on syria on our website r t v dot com so plenty of other stories waiting for you there right now as well here's a point that you can find out how a recent law in canada has landed the country in the crosshairs of the un human rights council. also online the outgoing world bank chief predicts a dire future for developing nations in europe if you are doesn't watch it step more about it on our website. she good leverage or to mccurry was to build a new age most sophisticated revolution which on her she'd leave doesn't give a darn about anything to change mission to teach music creation why it should care
3:14 am
about human to end with this dish is why you should care what you only. have a vote before or was it in the notes we have a lot of. groups. who says all our views in the writing of my mother it was like when you have that knowledge it wasn't forced marriage it's just muddy when i was fifteen years so you can't liberate other women and you certainly can't do it through the barrel of a gun only effective social changes. the afghans themselves afghan men and women we believe are going to stand true across parts. of the patient its chemical position and that construction but it's the people in the obama administration talking about how much they care about the women of
3:15 am
afghanistan it's not true they don't care about the women of afghanistan. back to what you are to you know russia seeking to break the long running stalemate over iran's nuclear program as moscow hosts and international conference on the conversely issue to iran faces tough new sanctions from the u.s. and the e.u. but is refusing to back down demanding recognition for what it calls its peaceful atomic ambitions are enough has the latest. all eyes are on moscow as the third round of talks over iran's nuclear ambitions kicks off today right there behind me in the hotel is where the key officials from the five permanent member countries of the u.n. security council plus germany are meeting in order to try to avert a potential collapse in diplomacy over iran's nuclear ambitions the stakes could
3:16 am
not possibly be higher as israel has in fact threatened to bomb iran should the negotiations fail on top of this we have the confirmed u.s. use of cyber weapons to destroy iran's nuclear program and pressure for the u.s. president barack obama who is of course running a reelection campaign from the congress to consider a very seriously a military solution to this standoff should diplomacy fail now in the background of all this are tough economic sanctions that are looming ahead for tehran one of the things that must be considered here is that there is a lot of pressure by western countries to essentially push iran to not only give up its nuclear ambitions something that iran has refused to do apology and that it has a peaceful civil nuclear program demanding that world powers recognize its right to maintain that civil nuclear program that is not something that the west has been essentially happy to consider thus far they want to
3:17 am
a lot of intensive mans on tehran with what tehran says very little incentives in return and it remains to be seen whether the west will consider abandoning the impending european union oil embargo as well as the banking sanctions that are looming against the islamic republic so a lot is on the table here whether or not this gets resolved remains to be seen but the stakes are as high as they could possibly be here in moscow but because of reporting there out the latest installment of join us are just talk shows just a day away this time he interviews emraan khan a pakistani anti-corruption activist and politician known by some as a one man party here's a preview. i wanted everyone when i was what got in the election that this election as it is is going to be a disaster for the people of us the one it's only meant for the bush administration to have one who. was sure it wasn't struggling so it was like to go they wanted

another the government so they could pursue this war on terror with an awful lot of it was going on. and some of the. whatever it was sitting in went to the roof the war on terror was has been devastated by a stone wall because for two thousand and one reason is a big deal in a war we have nothing to do with basically our own army killing only for them and then good then doing suicide attacks on the folks that is evidence how would you reconfigure the pakistan relationship with the united states or do would be a complete sever and see what would you do would permit drone strikes what kind of intelligence cooperation what would you do in practice. so. it was as with. most relationship. folks that is
3:19 am

3:21 am
here's a preview. who's running the place today i mean in a sense that's the dangers in all of these things you know the devil you know the devil you don't know kind of situation so clearly he was so repressive what was occurring there and libya may have to go through a period here where you don't go in for media transition from ousting a brutal dictator to a jeffersonian democrats that shows up their periods here of transition which libby is going through that are bitter painful to watch but i think russia could play a role i know they didn't want to necessarily be involved in supplying military hardware and gaging in the conflict as it was developing but i don't think that a lot of now cause you to not find a way to become involved in a constructive way to help that country get on its feet and find its center and give it an opportunity to grow and to provide some decent opportunities for people in that country so the fact that you rejected the idea of being involved in the ouster of the down thing ought not to pollute it seems like now turning around say
3:22 am
we didn't do that this is the outcome how can we be constructive and help now get this country back on its feet and stabilize it. all right to the world of business now where kay's awaiting us was the latest information so katie now it's europe sir so plenty of sighs of relief on the trading floors there would imagine absolutely merino i can hate them and now they was anticipating probably the will has from what we were hearing from alice on friday but we have got sighs of relief as the saying that says greece looks to back the prosperity governments say right now we're looking at days across the board and indeed europe all getting of course now ali still saying that they all sitting around. sum up has the most saw wanting some action taken from the g twenty as well in this way they will see more concrete measures to really resolve the european sovereign debt crisis now as we can see what the footsie out one point four percent
