it took some of the gavel to disable cairo as they wait that was also the country's first democratic presidential election since hosni mubarak was ousted last this as the muslim brotherhood declares and on the social elite. greece grants the euro a stay of execution that's after a probate party takes the lead in parliamentary elections but the debt crisis will still be giving g. twenty leaders a headache as they meet in mexico. russia seeks to break the iranian nuclear standoff by hosting an international conference in moscow all sides are dug in deep with tough sanctions in the air as to wrong refuses to relinquish its rights to atomic canner gee.

this is the line from moscow with me 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 to post leader is in cairo. people are beginning to gather into your square 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 of the polling stations throughout the country their candidate came in with some thirteen point two million votes this is the equivalent of some fifty one point eight percent and they put the contender after mature figure at forty

eight percent now so i think 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 was in 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 but it is just as likely that after which 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 for addictions to be made before these elections in terms of who will come forward with an ultimate victory these 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 more 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 or shafiq who wins there are going to be street protests. is. egypt and we seen that already today monday morning with the calls gathering in taksim square post reporting there cairo based journalist sara mohammed ali says there will be public no matter which side takes the win now we've got a great divide between the feet supporters of the muslim brotherhood of course dr morsi supporters in both cases and 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 the here and actually shout weyerhaeuser revolution gone because you cannot have a remnant of the expert 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 a different level of knowledge which will actually take place if dr morsi wins. on the way the program here in r t spitting syria as reports of new killings

massacres in the country remain unconfirmed foreign officials and spin doctors are jumping on the chance to sell their own version of events more and that in just a few minutes. greece's probe a new democracy party has begun talks on forming a new coalition government it follows its victory in the country's parliamentary election however the party fell well short of receiving an outright 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 euro zone 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 artie's 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 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 issues you countries such as italy spain that would likely drive up borrowing costs with these countries 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 the world is so interconnected now that irresponsible actions of one of the countries can trigger a domino effect and have. 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 bickering 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 and is taking place in challenging times we'll see what they will have to say washington and moscow are accusing each other of stoking violence in syria the u.s. says russia provides weapons that assad uses to kill civilians moscow rejects the claim and says it only supplied air defense systems under existing contracts russia says the u.s. contributes to the violence in syria by coordinating arms supplies to the rebels we know that saudi arabia and qatar are actively supplying weapons to syrian armed 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 syrians to choose their own future eventually but they see very differently on how to reach that goal president putin by the way did not attend the g eight summit in the us in may he sent 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 china india and other global players who also get to have a say on global affairs. the u.n. has a man and women children the elderly and injured to be evacuated from syria in combat zones following the suspension of its observer mission heavy fighting continues in towns across syria with scores of people being killed and clashes between the opposition and government troops on sunday activists say regime forces tried to root out rebels from urban areas by heavy shelling in the central city of homs they also say that in the town of dumont just outside the capital damascus rebels opened

fire on a bus of soldiers killing eight the u.s. is now consulting its allies on what to do about the escalation of violence but has acknowledged a levy a style intervention to topple the assad government will be difficult i think we're in a park now has more. as the syrian crisis becomes ever more brutal by the day. oh 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 and are really. the participants in one side of this plan slick and that's very very dangerous because of when you hear only one side of the information your solution is always in their favor there were the massacres 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 militia is acting on behalf of the government western leaders were quick to blame the assad government for last month's school 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 to mask is was still being shouted the reason that the situation on the crisis has become so grave 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 un am plan its commitments to the international community as britain's school that the 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 time to the no down to 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. that the russians are providing attack helicopters to the syrians i have just not seen that the us flip flop on brush up 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 you want undersecretary 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 well i think it's clear that it's not for us to determine or form of meat. 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 be elusive goal of fully understanding and solving the problem marine upward non-art see new york. was talking tearing of military intervention in syria and no other country where it did

take place is still struggling to pick up the pieces later on we asked a former u.s. senator chris dodd whether he sees another rock scenario unfolding in libya here's a preview. of running the place today i mean in a sense that's the the dangers in all of these things you know the devil you know the devil you don't know kind of situation so clearly it was so repressive what was occurring there and libya may have to go through a period here where you don't go if the media transition from ousting a brutal dictator to a jeffersonian democrats that shows up there are periods here of transition which libya is going through that are 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 or engaging 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 khadafi ought not to pollute it seems to take now turning around and say 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. russia seeking to break the long running stalemate over iran's nuclear program as moscow hosts an international conference on the carnival issue today talks have kicked off behind closed doors there on faces tough new sanctions from the u.s. and the e.u. which has promised to bring oil embargo into force in july islamic state says it may stop enriching uranium to a high level if you are of agrees to supply instead of 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 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 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 has a governess reporting there and we have more reports and analysis on iran and our website which is our team dot com so plenty of other stories also waiting for you there today let's now take. to find out how a recent long into canada's land of the country in the crosshairs of the u.n. human rights council. and across the border in america thousands marched through

other women and you certainly can't do it through the barrel of a gun only effective social changes can be the afghans themselves ask again men and women we believe i'm going to stun him not to across parts. of the patient its chemical position and that it comes to actually stop people in the obama administration talking about how much they care about the women of afghanistan it's not true they don't care about the women of afghanistan. georgian r t let's now take a look at some other stories from around the world at least sixty people have been killed in multiple blast at three churches in nigeria the attacks triggered riots in the area which led to the deaths of around twenty others authorities in the state of do i have imposed a twenty four hour curfew as soldiers and police try to restore order no one has

have one who. was sure it was struggling so you would like to go there would do the puppet government so they could pursue this war on terror with multiple of them was going on. and so on but so whatever it was and went through the roof the war on terror was has been devastated by this. because for two thousand and one that is the beginning the war we had nothing to do with visit the our own army killing on people and then get it then doing suicide attacks on folks that is evidence how would you reconfigure the pakistan relationship with the united states we're going to be a complete severance but would you permit drone strikes what kind of intelligence cooperation what would you do in practice. but it should be based on the dignity self-respect. we didn't

do. any of the folks that is a. big. deal of it is that it's it's with a leash that is. it's not. just some noise you delivered. or were going straight to the world of business to katie so why do whatever got for us this hour well earlier on in the session marina as you know the victory for the greece's pro of parity new democracy party really triggered a relief rally that's what they were calling it on the european markets and indeed the global markets but now we're seeing those gains a moderate as the silence would kick off with the european markets you can see for yourself but they are still gaining now the thing is a lot of investors are saying ok they've got this government that now looks like it's going to be formed by the end of the day but the fundamental problem still remain and investors are now looking towards the g twenty meeting in mexico this

week they're looking for more concrete ways as to how the ministers are going to stem the crisis in the year is over as you can see just down the fence here on health of percent for the dax it's around nine tenths of a percent in positive territory because the new government does not necessarily mean that greece that will remain in the euro as eyes and that's the problem ok let's have a look at the year right now and how to offset that it sparkle is still managing to get even though for a fifth day for the common current say the brutal now is the day to get the u.s. dollar on the year and that's as investors move towards a risky asset so with that in mind as have a look at the most their markets are the most gave markets have really been feeling the pressure the anxiety over the recent weeks over the greek situation so now in the third hour trade we all the gains but the talk here on the trading floor is how long will the rally last that stare into the stocks and see where the main game is . all my sex with the banking stocks to malvo was will be to be the second biggest

lender here most gaining two percent roughly half as well dating because of those oil prices and polymath so bucking the trend six tenth's of said down others been news that the slashing caps on investment this ship by a half to two hundred fifty million dollars and see how the asian session finished up and they were one of the first forces to react to the greek election results and we had the hang seng enjoying the biggest two day rise of the year and any fourteen says lost out on the case of the japanese market had a good day that day that now closed or it is have a look at the oil markets and see that they are rising thousands back from the fifteen month low that they finished up on friday says that feeling very good about the greek situation right now and those who are inflated out another economy in the euro zone that will remain in investors' minds and he says it will sell. and streamlined government spending as part of the so-called growth to create a public houses one of ten billion euros will be sold at about

a month to slash the country's debt which is one hundred and twenty eight percent of g.d.p. now the government has also approved measures to boost consumer confidence crippled by times lauzon austerity packages i'll talk about europe we've had a lot of downgrades recently spent in cyprus on the neverland's from the likes of midges s. and p. a fish but the russian market hasn't been scared so far by these credit rating agencies so why what we were speaking to richard has what he's from rating agency hairbrush rating and he said that the banking industry here is. if you look great things of russian. by the big three agencies they are at a level a credit level on average but corresponds to a different way sure about one in five are true before the ratio is about one in fourteen and that's not great but it's not one in five three times but that means

that the cost of borrowing of the russian banks has been more expensive which means that in general russian bonds of course it's less for the investor and they've cost more for the borrower and that means that russian banks have been discriminated against in the international market. arena where see if the extra markets can hold on today's games all right thanks very much indeed katie and as always waiting for the next one next hour meantime here in r t i'll bring you have our top stories shortly don't go away.
