it is good to have you with us here today on. live in moscow egyptians have had their say in the country's first post mubarak presidential election but there's still no sense of closure the islamist candidate mohamed morsi says that he's won a claim rejected by his rival former regime official. the official results are expected on thursday but the ruling military has already undermined the vote by issuing a decree that gives its sweeping legislative powers in cairo with this report. 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 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 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 just speak who is in the lead and they quote independent election observers but it is worth noting that last month during those presidential elections being muslim brotherhood gave its own results before the official results were announced and those results were completely accurate if morsi comes forward this does paint the scenario for a showdown between the military and the muslim brotherhood because of course sufi is the military candidate now the army 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 it 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 what extent. reporting right meantime cairo based journalist sara mohammed ali says regardless of the winner mass demonstrations against the result of. now we've got a great divide between the feet supporters of the muslim brotherhood of course dr morsi supporters in both case scenarios 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 experts seem 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 you know take place if dr morsi wins and still ahead for you this hour here on out but a decision by you and trying to lead efforts to end the syrian crisis the war of

unconfirmed reports while the allegations hold sought. advice on how america's so-called war on terror is growing the people of pakistan you can find all of this out julianna saunders exclusive program that will be on tuesday your own thoughts. the eurozone is hoping for a quick resolution in athens as a pro austerity party begins coalition talks after winning the most votes in sunday's election greece's economic troubles and their effect on global finance are certainly taking center stage for the g. twenty leaders now gathering in mexico today and the escalating violence in syria that's also in focus as ati's guy nature can reports. 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 issues you 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 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 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 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 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 why. the syrian armed opposition groups washington is set 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. not just talking about the ongoing crisis with syria being discussed at the g. twenty but also that of greece and of greece's victorious new democracy party planning to renegotiate the current austerity package with the e.u. which second place wanted to scrap all together political risk consultant john holzman says whatever greece ends up doing the calm before the next storm will not last long. it's been an alice in wonderland election on the one side you have surprised with the far left party saying we can ignore all the bailout terms and they'll still love us and give us money which is

a fantasy it sounds like the mock turtle or the mad hatter and on the other side you have present to designate probably some are saying once i win because the europeans like me i can renegotiate the bailout terms and there won't be any problems that also will be proven i think to be a fantasy and so although this buys us or respite the reality is that this mad hatter's tea party doesn't change anything in the long run greece is going to have to live up to these terms they may get a little bit more time to do so but the terms themselves as the foreign minister of germany made very clear yesterday aren't going to change so i think the greek people are in for a tremendous disappointment the danger on one side and it's a game of chicken the greeks think if we go out it could lead to contagion with much bigger economies and ruin the entire euro zone so they're not going to be mean to us and the germans say the greeks need us more than we need them because without a constant infusion of money we simply can't meet salaries and greece goes back into the middle ages sadly i think both have a point but the point is managing this difference along the way becomes very very difficult but really the drama begins now because when some are as doesn't get the

terms you want to remember this new government is going to have only about forty eight forty nine percent of greek support behind it what's going to happen then with surprise leading demonstrations in the streets growing ever more popular and then they can say you see we were right nothing has changed. live from moscow this is r.t. turn our attention now to syria where two russian navy ships are about to sail to the syrian port of tartus to protect its naval base an unnamed navy official quoted by a moscow news agency said the vessels will carry an unspecified number of marines to syria the russian navy refused to confirm the reports to us here at r.t. while the country's defense ministry has no immediate comment just last week pentagon officials said it's already tracked a russian ship allegedly carrying weapons and troops to the conflict torn country claims denied by moscow the u.s. had earlier backed away from hillary clinton's remarks that russia was also supplying assad with attack helicopters exactly as marina now reports these

accusations are doing nothing to help quell the conflict there. 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 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 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 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 u.n. i am plan its commitments to the international community as britain schooled in 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 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. and 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 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 i 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 the elusive goal of fully understanding and solving the problem marine upward non-art see me on. with talk continuing of military intervention in syria another country where dick take place is still struggling to pick up the pieces later we asked the former u.s. senator chris thought whether he sees libya following a similar fate to iraq. is 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 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 democrat that shows up there are periods here of transition which libya is going through that are brought 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 gauging in the conflict as it was developing but i don't think that out of now because you did 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 me 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 see the full interview with former u.s. senator chris dodd that will be in fifteen minutes time right here on not. the first day of talks to try and break the long running stalemate over iran's nuclear program just wrapping up now right here in moscow more negotiations between tehran and the six world powers are planned for choose day as europe and the u.s. prepare to slap their toughest sanctions to date on the islamic republic. and offers the latest. but we've heard from the iranians today as a regeneration of their position that they want an acknowledgement of their right to win a ritchey radium force the billion nuclear purposes and president mahmoud ahmadinejad seemed to indicate on his website that iran would be willing to halt high level uranium enrichment if the world powers agreed to meet its need for the fuel that

iranians are also hoping that the west will scale back its sanctions which are of course a significantly hurting our oil exports and the arabian economy but the message from the region european union today was that landing and borrow against iranian oil will continue in less than two weeks is of course in addition to american banking sanctions that the west meanwhile is holding tight to its position that it came to in the last months meeting in baghdad where they're demanding the arrhenius halt to rhenium enrichment above twenty or at twenty percent which is close to weapons grade which again iran insists is for civilian purposes only and also ship some of that stockpile out of the country and exchange the west would give iran some supplies for its rico research reactor as well as spare parts for its airliner commercial fleet a deal that the iranians today have not said a is fair has said it's unbalanced in the words of one former iranian negotiator diamonds for peanuts so a difficult situation thus far some countries are indicating this is the last

chance for diplomacy before the talk turns to war we've heard israel threaten again to attack iran should these talks fail the israeli president today in fact said that iran is running out of time and if things continue on its current course war would be the option and we have to keep in mind here that the u.s. president is running a tough reelection campaign and is under some serious pressure from the u.s. congress to consider the military option should there not be a breakthrough in these talks. reporting right there we'll get to the world update in just a few moments but. plenty of other stories and in-depth analysis waiting for you twenty four seventh's dot com let's have a quick look and see some of the items standing by for example western governments increasingly. censorship as they also google to remove political content. also are the chinese getting closer to create a. space station after three astronauts successfully docked with beijing's very.

official. video. and. now in the palm of your. home. twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow let's go straight to northern

gaza now to start the world update it's why israel has launched an airstrike killing two men riding a motorcycle the jewish state says the attack was in response to recent sniper fire and targeted suspected palestinian militants the strike came shortly after separate clashes on the israel egypt border that left one civilian and two militants dead gunmen opened fire on vehicles used by defense contractor crews building a border fence. a bomb tore through a bus carrying students in southwestern pakistan killing five people and injuring over fifty police say the explosive was planted in a vehicle parked in a suburb of the city of quetta no group at this point has claimed responsibility though the area is known for sectarian violence and an active militancy my. friends are socialists are valid reforms after their big fall when the country's parliamentary elections the results give president francois hollande the power to

fulfill his policy promise of economic growth instead of belt tightening the pledge to raise taxes for large corporations instead of cutting budgets in order to tackle europe's financial crisis it is the first time the socialists have taken control of parliament in ten years. and make sure you don't miss the latest episode of julian assange has exclusive programme on r t that will be chouse day at the world's top whistleblower talks this time to imran khan a pakistani anticorruption activist and politician known by some as the one man party explains why he thinks america's war on terror has devastated his country. i wanted everyone when i was worked out 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 a public one who. was shut up was struggling so he was like to go they wanted

another puppet government so they could pursue this war on terror with an awful lot on was going on. and saw that. whatever i was sitting in went through the roof the war on terror was as being devastated by the fall of because forty pounds in my gut is a big get in the water we had nothing to do with it basically our own army killing on people and then good then doing suicide attacks on the folks that it's evidence but how would you reconfigure the pakistan relationship with the united states were to be a complete severance what would you commit drone strikes what kind of intelligence cooperation what would you do in practice. have a better relationship based on the dignity self-respect. so it should be relationship like. it should be. most relationship.

is a. big. that is . it's not. very good. and you can watch the latest installment from julian assange show here on r.t. that will be this tuesday at eleven thirty g.m.t. or over to marina we go there you all good to see you again you're standing by the r.t. business desk following the markets anything exciting to tell us this hour. american markets are open this hour and basically the figures there pretty much summed up the current situation across the board let's take a look at the american figures for stuff look at that the dow is at an almost one percent the nasdaq is at an over one percent already well it was a mixed in fact earlier i believe we have the wrong figures for that it was makes to begin with and basically what we're seeing is investors focusing more on the

situation in spain i will talk about that in a second because there we also have not only a banking loan problem but also government that issue concerns earlier we have positive results coming out from greece as i say this we might as well take a look at the european markets which have been trading for a couple of hours now and basically we can see that the footsie is adam point one percent and the german dax adding almost a half a percent there and this is a minimizing the earlier gains we saw every leaf wryly in the beginning of the trading session and this that to do with the fact that the probate loud parties who won the parliamentary elections in greece they were in the majority of the votes and this ease concerns about the possibility of a so-called gregg's that many analysts were fearing that greece were exit the euro zone and the devastating impact this would bring an impact we were speaking to you know western formats investment company and yet outlined his view on the currency issue. ation in europe. being more. of a government very quickly that would add some more relief to the market however the

overall situation in europe seems to be far from throw from over we have a spanish bond yields today rising above seven percent for the first time the tally in bond yields went above ten six percent again so overall the situation on the on the situation in europe are still very much alive and investors are. are not same with europe italy says it will sell state assets and streamline government spending as part of the so-called growth the crude public assets worth ten billion euros will be sold in about a month and that's to slash the country's that which is one hundred twenty percent of g.d.p. and the government has also approved measures to boost consumer confidence that's crippled by tax laden austerity packages. and so some currencies the euro as we can see is drop and against the dollar and when it comes to the ruble it's game against both major currencies if we move on take a look at the russian markets the poles the sun's mass continuing well and strong

year that's fallen news coming out from greece the r.t.s. is at a point six percent while the my psych's is slowly out production point is seven percent and the black there i said look at the individual families on the my sex again all this is brought on by the post of its economy and from greece no news about spain has managed to dampen the atmosphere here we can see it the blue chips are again then you know except for a couple of exceptions we have rolls that that's the cline and that's because of the wind in the oil prices get to that in a second and we have polymaths which is bucking the trend overall because of news that it will slash its capital investment now to mention crude prices so less like a lot of what's happening there and back they're heading for their lowest almost fifty the mogs can see lights which is trading at around eighty dollars per barrel there and basically this is what we have in this business rory i was why those figures were yesterday's close and figures for the american markets but we'll have that all sorts of out next hour like a computer thanks. and just my with the headlines and then that'll be backed up by

a close chat with former u.s. senator chris dodd syria the eurozone crisis twenty all up for discussion in just a moment here on artsy.
