egypt since are gathered in st paul cairo as they await the results of the country's first democratic presidential election since hosni mubarak was ousted last year this as the muslim brotherhood declares and the so. greece grounds the euro a stay of execution that's after a pro bailout party takes the lead in parliamentary elections but the debt crisis will still be giving the g. twenty leaders a headache as they meet in mexico. plus the e.u. says it's committed to bringing in the oil embargo against iran into force by july as moscow hosts an international conference on terror on its nuclear program.

it is it good to have you here with us on our. air live in moscow welcome to the program where 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 of course now that was just last year that the muslim brotherhood is claiming in the lead that's based on a count from ninety percent of the polling stations with details now from cairo is ati's paula. people are beginning to gather in tough here 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 the 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 which a figure at forty eight percent now 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 coup is in the lead and they quote independent election observers but it is worth noting that last month during those presidential elections being with them brotherhood gave its own results before the official results were announced and those results were completely accurate and no one could 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 throughout egypt if morsi comes forward this does paint the scenario for a showdown between the military and the muslim brotherhood because of course suffix

is the military candidate now the army recently went so far as to issue an interim constitution it has made itself effectively egypt's nor make has and it says that it will be responsible for appointing those people who were draft a final constitution these are important elections that there are a lot of questions that still remain unanswered questions such as what power will the new 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 students from afar and if yes to what extent these two contenders have a lot of support and it has been too difficult for predictions to be made before these elections in terms of who will come forward with an ultimate victory party's policy reporting right there will i mean time a journalist sarah mohammed our lead says there will be

a public upset no matter which side of metal it takes to win. now we've got a great divide between the supporters and the muslim brotherhood of course dr morsi supporters in both case scenarios there will be protests and 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 who actually retreat to the streets of the here 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 who feel

that egypt now is now in you know embarking on and on a different level of idiology which will actually you know take place if dr morsi winds blow from moscow this is still on the way for you in the program but of spinning syria reports of new killings and massacres in the country remain unconfirmed foreign officials and spin doctors are jumping on the chance to sell their own version of events so if we were in just a few minutes here or not. now greece's pro new democracy party is due to begin talks on forming a new coalition government it follows its victory in the country's parliamentary election but however the party fell well short of receiving an outright majority in sunday's poll a new democracy will need help from the socialists to implement the bailout and try to keep greece afloat in the eurozone it is a clear repeat of last month's vote after which

a coalition talks collapsed the country to go to the ballots. yet again and that's all she's going to have reports greece's economic condition will certainly be one of the top themes today g. twenty summit in mexico as far as global economy greece is on everyone's mind right now sunday 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 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 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 of the russian leader took office in may and is taking place a challenging times 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 only supplied air defenses. 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 are actively supplying weapons to syrian armed opposition groups washington he 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 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 present with him 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 trying to india and other global players who also get to have a say on global affairs. as

a. serious big issue to be discussed at the g twenty summit now the u.n. has demanded that women children the elderly and injured they should be evacuated from the syrian combat zones following the suspension of its observer mission a heavy fighting does continue in towns across the country with scores of people being killed in clashes between the opposition and government troops on sunday activists say regime forces trying to root out rebels from areas by heavy shelling of the central city of homs they also say that in the town of duma just outside the capital damascus rebels opened fire on a bus of soldiers killing the u.s. is not consulting its allies on what to do about the escalation of violence but it has acknowledged a libya style intervention to topple the assad government would be rather difficult but more on this is aussie's more important. 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. the participants in one side of this plan slick and that's very very dangerous because of course when you hear only one side of information your conclusion 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. 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 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 have 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 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 and i'm sure you know down by 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 thomson's and. around one rebel said if you're going to opt out of 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 brusha coincided with the un's fancy footwork regarding the state of syria the united nations for the first time so a u.n. official described 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 by declaration countered by the un the next day well i think it's clear

that it's not for us to determine or formally. 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 leaving 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 understanding and solving the problem marine up or not our team new york. with talk continuing of military intervention in syria another country where did take place is still struggling to pick up the pieces that it's a day here on arts and we ask the former u.s. senator chris dodd whether he sees another iraq scenario unfolding in libya for now a preview. running the place today i mean in the sense that's that 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 in libya may have to go through a period here we don't go for the media transition from being a brutal dictator to a jeffersonian democrat that shows up there are periods 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 order 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 in the wide some decent opportunities for people in that country so the fact that you rejected the idea of being involved in the elster khadafi ought not to pollute it seems 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. and you can watch the interview in

about fifteen minutes time you're not see for now though russia are seeking to break the long running stalemate over iran's nuclear program as moscow hosts an international conference on the controversial issue tehran faces tough new sanctions from the west and the e.u. promising to bring an oil embargo into force in july now the islamic state says it may stop enriching uranium to a high level but only if europe instead agrees to supply fuel and the latest now is ati's lucic of. 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 will 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. right there we have more reports of analysis on iran on a website called plenty of other stories waiting for you there right now as well. for example so you can find out how recent a law in canada has a lot of the country in the crosshairs of the u.n. human rights of counsel. and across the border in america thousands marched through new york to protest against a controversial police practice those details the whole lot of them at r.t. dot com.

what's happened is earlier on we had a relief rally now that was fuelled by the excess of the pro austerity government in the great election now what's happened is investors and now we're evaluating the situation and it's lost it's a pill so what i now want more concrete solutions to the year i christ is the next big event on the agenda is the g twenty meetings as you can see the first day that it's on the third of stand up in the diets around three courses of except those gains aren't nearly as strong as we had earlier on in a session now another concern in the region is the yield on spanish ten year government bonds they have stopped evolving that sort of personal level of about seven percent now what that basically means as is the level when alarm bells go off so it's a level when investors think hold on a second this needs sorting ok we've also got a fragile situation the banking system that's still ongoing also wanted to mention . as well that some of the big news coming out in london was the u.k.

home sells have shot up to prices other people trying to get on the property ladder simply can't afford right now who is the exchange rate as well so it's no surprise out with all that i've just mentioned the euro is slightly dropping is moments in the one twenty six fifty six to the coming car see the ruble blow as investors back to risky assets that she gave a against the u.s. dollar and the year at this hour now the russian markets here mostly they've already failing the pressure over the last few weeks to do with the greek crisis and right now there i see a day with the l.c.s. around seven tenth's of a stand up exactly the same for the my sights as well let's see how some of those blue chips are getting on because it's very much a mixed day we've got some losers doesn't get into the c.p.u. just as it is financial stocks that are all the world today that some of the top gate is in the session around two percent up for the second biggest lender head who's got roughed up there on two basis points despite or prices again a little bit of strength of the last hour pulling muscle around six tenths of

a percent on news that slashing capital investment the ship by hope by two hundred fifty million dollars they see how the asian markets react because they want to the first bosses to get the news out of greece and we can see the nikkei that one point eight percent up in the hang a sign over a sense imposed to territory for the asian markets for the nikkei just that they only had around fourteen shares actually dropping out there for a much exposed to the european region as well there exporters that benefited some was also have to hang a sign as well its second biggest gain of the year if you look at the oil markets as well i did mention they've lost momentum ever so slightly as we've got there we've got the lights weighs eighty four dollars per barrel the brands edging towards ninety eight all right let's talk about that because that has not escaped the attention of investors now it says it will sell a state assistance streamline the government spending hours part of the so-called growth to create up public assets. well ten billion euros will be sold at about

a month to slash the country's debt which is one hundred twenty percent of g.d.p. the government has also approved measures to boost consumer confidence crippled by the tax latin. package is now talking to europe this week about the downgrades we've had recently we've had spade cyprus in neverland. by the likes of moody's and s. and p. and fitch but russia has gone unscathed so far now we spoke to richard hayes what he's from ratings and credit agency here most and he was saying that the banking sector here the financials are undervalued. if you look at. things of russian brink's. by the big three agencies they are at a level a credit level on average that corresponds to a default way sure about one in five the actual default gray show is about one in fourteen and that's not great but it's not one in five it's three times better that

means that the cost of borrowing of the russian bytes has been more expensive which means the general russian bonds of course 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. and that's the business or a not always are the bearer of the best news but good to see you nonetheless why don't you stay with us if you can hear r t it's good to have you with us today of the headlines in just a moment that's followed by a close up chat with former u.s. senator chris dodd libya syria the g. twenty all up for discussion here in just a moment. there
