egypt since i gathered in the central cairo as they await the results of the country's first democratic presidential election since hosni mubarak was ousted last year as the muslim brotherhood declares the so. greece drawings the euro a stay of execution but softer approach belo party takes the lead in parliamentary elections but the debt crisis will still be giving g. twenty leaders quite a number of says they meet in mexico. plus the e.u. says it's committed to bringing an oil embargo against iran into force spy july as moscow hosts an international conference on to iran's nuclear program.

a very warm welcome to you from all of us here at r.t. moscow. life in the russian capital and 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 just last year the muslim brotherhood is claiming the lead based on a count from ninety percent of the polling stations but with more on this from cairo it's sorties put us there. people are beginning to gather in tough his square just as the muslim brotherhood candidate dr mohamed morsi makes the announcement that he has won these in makes sense 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 which i think 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 in all makers and it says that it will be responsible for appointing those people who were draft a final constitution these are important elections but there are a lot of questions that still remain unanswered questions such as what power will this 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 strings from the far end 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. reporting right there was meantime a cairo based journalist us or a mohammed ali says there will be a public upset no matter which side does take away. 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 will actually retreat to the streets of the here and actually shout out 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 knowledge which will actually you know take place if dr morsi wins you what you ought to thank you for joining us today still to come for you in this program sweeping syria as reports of new killings and massacres in the country remain unconfirmed foreign officials on the spin doctors jumping on the chance to sell their own version so some more about here on our just a few minutes time. for now though greece is pro bail out new democracy party has today received a presidential mandate to start power sharing talks on a new coalition follows its victory in the country's parliamentary election 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 to try and keep greece float in the struggling euro zone it is a repeat however all of last month's vote after which coalition told. collapsed

prompting the country to go back to the ballots once ago that's all she's got on a tour card reports greece's economic condition will be one of the top themes today's g. twenty summit in mexico. as far as global economy greece is on everyone's mind right now a 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 financially shaky country 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 the other 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 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 times will 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 he. 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 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 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 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. reporting she was mentioning syria certainly one of the

hot topics at the g twenty and the latest is the u.n. has demanded now that are women children the elderly and injured should all be evacuated from syrian combat zones following the suspension of its observer mission there was heavy fighting continues now in towns across the country with scores of people being killed in clashes between the opposition and the government troops on sunday activists say regime forces trying to root out rebels from areas by heavy shelling in 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 eight the u.s. is now consulting its allies on what to do about the escalation of violence but has acknowledged that a libya style intervention to topple the assad government could be rather difficult with more on this all to use more important. as the syrian crisis becomes ever more brutal by the day. critics say. 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 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 my 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 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 and 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 sitting down but i 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. all parts of the market 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 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 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 up or not our t. we are. now russia's interfax news agency is reporting that two of the country's military ships are about to sail to the syrian port of tartus to protect its naval base there however there is no official confirmation on this the representative spoke to said that the says the vessels will carry a number of marines to protect russians in syria and evacuate materials from the

base if the situation in the country worsens as comes after similar reports surfaced from u.s. intelligence moscow has denied the claims but said several ships are ready to head to the base if the conflict escalates russia is against western intervention and sanctions with syria saying it will only worsen the situation again though here at r.t. we are still waiting for an official response to these claims. now with talk continuing of military intervention in syria another country where it did take place is still struggling to pick up the pieces later today we asked the former u.s. senator chris dodd whether he sees another iraq scenario unfolding in libya for now here's a preview. who's 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 in libya may have to go through a period here we don't go in for media transition from ousting

a brutal dictator to a jeffersonian democrat 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 in the wide some decent opportunities for people in that country so the fact that you rejected the idea being involved in the ouster khadafi ought not to pollute it seems now turning around 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. there's a quarter past the hour here in moscow this is now russia's seeking to break the long running stalemate over iran's nuclear program as moscow hosts an international

conference on the controversial issue here on faces tough new sanctions from the west with 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 you europe instead agrees to supply the fuel for the latest on this is our lucy calf. 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 but 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 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. reporting right that i would of course so we've got more reports and analysis on iran via our web site going to talk call me up also plenty of other stories are standing by. actually there right now let's have a look at a quick sample for find out how a recent law in canada has a lot of the country in the crosshairs of think he when human rights council. and across the border in america thousands marched through new york to protest against a controversial police practice all those details twenty four seven a click away at. home. we'll get to the r.t. welled up a shortly for now though the latest installment of julian assange just talk show that's just a day away this time he interviews imraan khan

a pakistani anti corruption activist and politician one by some as the one man party here's a preview. i want everyone when i was working the election that this election is this is going to be a disaster for the people of us the it's really good shows a vision to have one to one. was struggling so you would like to go there wouldn't you know the government so they could pursue this war and didn't we're not going on. and saw the other. whatever it was the gershon went to the roof the war on generals has been devastated by this alone because the fourteen thousand one is a big deal in a war with nothing to do with this is you know normally killing no one will and then doing so so you know it's only focused on the civilians how would you reconfigure the. relationship with the united states were going to be

a complete server and see what would you commit drone strikes what kind of intelligence cooperation what would you do in practice. he says. the. u.s. is with do. relationship was the focus that is. the. killer what is it. that is. it's loathe to do but it looks like it's the law is it deliberately roots . and straight to pakistan now to start off the r.t. world update police say that five people have been killed more than fifty wounded when a bomb ripped through a bus in pakistan the attack took place on a vehicle when it was heading to a university in the southwestern city of quetta the wounded have now been taken to hospitals for treatment at the city has frequently been hit by acts of violence

police for another climbing to say who they suspect though it's no that is the most militants often attack security forces in a region as well as settlers from other parts of the country. french or socialists have won a majority of seats in the country's parliament the election results give president francois hollande the power to pass as promised growth boosting measures alarms that pledge to raise taxes for the country's highest earners instead of cutting budgets in order to tackle europe's financial crisis it is the first time socialists have taken control of parliament in ten years. and china's a shenzhou spacecraft with three astronauts including the country's first space woman has successfully docked with its orbiting module crewmembers are planning to conduct medical tests and a variety of experiments the rocket was launched last saturday from the step guns to that province there in western china and the mission was trumpeted all across

the country as a major step forward for its ongoing space program and beijing wants to establish its own station closer to. started by twenty twenty. one former beatle paul mccartney they are celebrating his seventieth birthday today but the music legend says he doesn't want anything to ground preferring rather to mark the event quietly with his family his fans though they have some other ideas planning acts all over the world ranging from liverpool all the way to japan despite seven decades on the planet mccartney shows little sign of slowing down recently completed a world tour and in just a few weeks will be the headliner for the opening ceremony all from london. and over to katy standing by the r.t. business desk i could see you again i understand we're looking for a bit of reaction on the markets to the greek election results are investors at all keeping the faith well they all some wall so i mean ever so slightly boy we've seen

so the dips in gains throughout the session earlier on we experienced a relief rally was already started to lose momentum ever so slightly as the realize ation of the situation i really becomes clear on now for more analysis on this i'm joined by peter weston chief actually started at aston investment comes to company hello i see peter now as i was just saying we did see a relief rally earlier on in the session that sort of lost some momentum would you say that investors remain unconvinced by the situation. well i think that the you know in greece itself we've had a bit of a calm situation on the on the election results and of course if we give you more money. the government very quickly that would add some more relief to the market however the overall situation in europe seems to be far from profit mobile we have spanish bond yields today rising above seven percent for the first time the italian bond yields went about ten above six percent again so overall the situation on the

on the that situation in europe are still very much alive and investors. so i can now let's talk about greece staying in the year i was saying that because right now it looks more of a possibility that i will but it's not necessarily a good thing for greece and isn't necessarily a good thing for the year i say. well i do think that the cost of greece leaving the euro zone is actually higher than them than actually staying in. because greece is you know it's not a big country sirrah point four percent of global g.d.p. however we should remember that the asian crisis when thailand devalue their currency they were syrup on five percent of g.d.p. or sparked a very severe crisis for the for the greece them for greece themselves devaluation overstimulate exports however greek exports last year was only eight point two percent of g.d.p. so it's not going to be a major impact of the from the from the trade perspective and finally should greek

received the euro zone there was some severe concerns about the other indebted countries are causing a run of the banks in those countries capital flight and also i think speculators will start to speculate against these countries themselves and again we should remember that in two in one thousand nine hundred two soros speculated against the short of ten billion dollars to ten billion pounds and he got known as the guy who broke the back of bank of bank of england so i think you know leave sort of the aspect of a greek exit becoming a cataclysmic event i think is very much alive i get it going forward then peace difficult the g. twenty meeting going on this week what will invest is be looking for what will they expect from the leaders in order to stimulate the economy what action will they want. yeah i think they would look for an extension of the emergency emergency funds available also european banks having access to e.c.b. funding would be important and finally

a solution to your own why the course of the show and to basically manage to stem the potential run on the banks that would be to. aspects of what they need to be discussed than some kind of package would be very welcomed by the us and what does all of this mean for the russian economy how is the crisis in europe weighing on the situation here in moscow i am to do for ourselves. well from a market perspective it's unfortunate the russia tends to be hit the most when we see increased risk aversion and every single time we've had sort of the headlines being the sort of silver stress in the south of europe russia tends to be the worst affected markets so from that point of view given also that russia is a cyclical market given their high levels of oil and gas weight in the index and also rising concern about global growth when this happens tends to weigh heavily on russia i think also one has to look at the potential for the commodity prices with europe should we have a more severe event with severe spreading of or if you want contagion of the greek

debt crisis to other neighboring nations that could cause further downgrades all of the euro zone g.d.p. that could also impact the consumers' consumption of metals and oil and therefore bring down commodity prices which obviously would also be a very hard hit. of the heart if go to russia and again i would just remind people that we're looking at the asian crisis after the even though we didn't have a global recession when the time when the tide devalued six months after that the global oil prices dropped forty percent ok peter westin chief actually starts just out on the investment company thank you very much indeed for your time today and that's all the business for now will be back in about fifteen minutes with another update all right all right a photocopy thanks very much indeed. in just a moment here on r t it's time for people of elena's cross-talk guests to start slinging mud hope you can stay with us for that.
