egypt's ruling military violence to clamp down on the same with an iron fist as tens of thousands in cairo protest against the generals with delayed presidential poll results expected later on sunday. turkey maintains one of its military jets was shot down by syrian forces on friday was not spy but was on a training fly before it was downed without warning and is to report the incident to nato. we could leaks founder julian assange has a nervous wait for the ecuadorian government's decision whether to grant him political asylum after saul's a refuge at its london embassy. last

from moscow you're watching r t is the weekly as egyptians away the delayed results of last weekend's presidential election a huge crowds of protesters again filling cairo's tahrir square the epicenter of last year's revolution archies policia has the very latest. if we look at the protests that happened in egypt for example eighteen months ago those protests were very much directed at ousting the former egyptian president hosni mubarak what we witnessing today is the same kind of anger on the streets of egypt but this time it is being directed against the ruling military the many egyptians feel it is trying to keep its grab on power in this follows a recent announcement by the military that it had drawn for good and interim constitution also that it was responsible for pointing those people who would like the final constitution egypt's courts also have recently dissolved the parliament

and now you need to remember that those courts are headed by judges who were appointed to the time of course the mubarak mubarak was a military man and even generals are very much seen as part of his regime since before it was announced that there have been multiple protests across the country dozens of people has been killed and so what we're witnessing today is disappointment that the revolution did not actually reach the goals it had city itself which was ultimately changing the ruling powers here in egypt the majority of people who are out there in tahrir square are supporters of the muslim brotherhood and their candidate mohamed morsi you need to remember that he won the first round of the presidential vote by several percentage points he has vowed that egypt will be turned into a should we are and hated state and this has people concerned in this country those who are not muslim brotherhood supporters they want to keep religion out of politics they're also worried about them using that personal freedoms and then of course the people who received privileges under the previous regime and i worry

that they'll lose those privileges privileges should the muslim brotherhood take up the presidency by comparison you have a fake who is a former air force commander his supporters have been keeping a low profile but they have been holding parallel demonstrations particularly north of cairo the appeal of which a few is that he promises security and safety but the concern. around which fic is that he represents the old regime and that nothing really will change in tangible terms on the ground you do also have a third possibility that's being put forward today remember we're looking at an announcement that is supposed to come in around three o'clock sunday afternoon either morsi will be elected or shafiq will be announced all normal people are telling me that the results might be an old recollection commission might decide that the violations were to extreme too and now the vote and call for a new presidential election all of those scenarios hold the threat of violence

because protesters on both sides are likely to go to the streets particularly muslim brotherhood supporters if their candidate does not win and indeed if the election results are delayed you're going to see a lot of frustration here in egypt. party's policy are there she's keeping track of the latest developments in cairo for us middle east expert she says the new president will have a hard time bargaining with the military rulers. if the constitutional declaration that was upheld legalized intervention in politics meaning that they can veto articles in the constitution if the current constitutional assembly was dismantled to form a constitutional assembly from appointed politicians and there were specific operative politicians that would not be hard with them. and want to protect the vast economic interests in the country they want a veto in high politics or anything that has to do with national security issues or

sensitive foreign policy issues and they want legal and constitutional immunity from any charges that has to do with corruption or depression and all these issues obviously undermine the mandate of the upcoming president and more or. less he has very solid support on the ground. capacity to mobilize his supporters into. the news this capacity to mobilize to bargain and negotiate with the military leadership then he will be a very weak president on the way in the program at the cutting edge of cyber warfare american officials are spilled the beans on last month's computer virus attack on iran all the details in a few minutes. turkey's foreign minister says one of its military jets shot down by syrian forces was not spying but is on a training flight the incident on friday seriously raise tensions between the two with cars saying it's a two involved nato in the if then syria maintains the action was

a defensive and not aggressive ankara earlier want it would retaliate without specifying how turkish and syrian search teams are both trying to find the two missing pilots meanwhile take his foreign minister says the incident is to be referred to nato next week stressing the fighter jet had been shut down without warning brian beckham not the answer and to walk the emissions says. they should show you the delicate state of affairs in the region. i think what we see is syria a small country a government that has been independent sense independence mean while it sometimes collaborates with the west it has not been considered to be a proxy or a client has been targeted by the western powers and by the turkish government which of course is part of nato and by their regional proxies saudi arabia qatar for overthrow and the overthrow is designed not to bring a more humanitarian or more democratic government to syria but the create

a client regime in that important strategically important arab country so this incident is heightening the tension but so is every other incident and we could see from the comments of ambassador ford the u.s. ambassador the united states is now encouraging the disaffection and defection from the syrian military part of a strategy to promote civil war in syria that's a crime that turkey as a nato power has been ramping up its support for the armed insurgency in syria turkey itself and that turkey syria border has become a transit for the flow of weapons that are coming from saudi arabia from qatar being paid for really in coordinated with almost great certainty by the by the united states and the nato powers. russia has been in the spotlight this week far less on shipments to syria claims denied by moscow lara smith has more on the media war and the false reports being used to drive the headlines. syria

may be on the brink of civil war but it's already the subject of both. ships on a shaped that's been the question for the past week as reports person ship was on its way to according to the reports the battleships would laden with troops and headed to syria it later turned out they would do. that right now pool. empty but in the fog of war any reports however it accurate has some kind of influence as long as you have so many forces. excited about the your option and that is that things are always just there and they were. there to get there through this information as usual will like they did before the iraq war and before . intervening in afghanistan in the late seventies also there was a delay of some information there was one ship it was turned back off the coast of

scotland after it was found to be carrying helicopter parts bound to syria q a sessions that russia was supplying combat helicopters to president assad we are concerned about the latest information we have that there are attack helicopters on the way from russia to syria which will escalate the conflict quite dramatically it's an allegation that russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov says is part of a propaganda campaign pushing for which is being discussed but these days indeed was scary for the defense systems and it was carrying three helicopters which have been repaired in russia under the control of the size of the cells of a dose of soviet helicopters seventy five feet in syria from seoul gives them the fuel cells and say there was a concert to repeal the bastille to be assembled when they are delivered the fifth

of the symbols of the entire process will fit with less than three months or so to speak about something which we just sold to syria and which is being used. in action is not true but it wasn't only ships apparently war games were planned to a rainy a news agency fawaz reported that iran russia china and syria are planning to conduct joint military exercises in syria. next month analysts think the story was planted by syria or iran as a show of strength but the u.s. outlets took it up because it suited them for the u.s. and use the agency just love the story because it matches their narrative you know the. regime and its supporters in iran or russia or china or. they are the ones who are. the conflict instead of seeking the peaceful solution so. the story you know. mention to get any news agency is

then there's the war of words british prime minister david cameron came out of a meeting with president putin at the recent g twenty summit saying putin no longer wanted president to act that in power in syria russia's foreign ministry later denied that was putin's position but was it a case of lost in translation wishful thinking on the prime minister's parts or another attempt to exert pressure on russia in the last fifteen months is being a media attack on syria that the crisis to syrian crisis is seventy percent of media so two percent on the ground so there is a quite a lot of stories every day. like for some all of stations by just some of those using you tube and there is no confirmed reports anymore it's said the first casualty of war is the truth and all this international rumor mongering and

jockeying for position comes at the expense of the syrian people their situation doesn't change regardless of which country won the latest battle of words lower smith. and moscow and washington seem to come closer in their position on syria this week at the g twenty summit in mexico both sides pointed out series as should you choose it own next government. and the statement by president putin's and obama on china's state it was their first face to face meeting since a russian leader returned to the kremlin in may they talk however experience more rough edges of the end result is shoes the u.s. and russia still defy sharply on washington's plans for missile defense shield in europe moscow's once again reiterated its call for control of the system as a solution to the impossibly some corporation a former member of the reagan administration paul craig roberts believes obama doesn't have as much a room to maneuver on that issue as he might like the convention.

does not war conflicts with washington he wants to resolve the issue of the missile bases that are surrounding russia he doesn't want conflict and obama. he doesn't want any conflict either but he is just one member of a government that more and regime change and syria and obama is not exactly in a position to be able to move stuff there. he will do really care to get along with scruton but he still has to represent the agenda. world in general and regime change and so the situation. is unresolved. while at the g twenty itself the heads of states have voiced freshening

over the continuing eurozone crisis describing it as a single biggest threat to the world economy many leaders have said progress in dealing with that the situation has been fought to stay meanwhile greece's new coalition government is seeking a deadline extension by at least to yes' and to cut its budget deficit that would reach one of the terms of the e.u. i.m.f. bailout deal but that's what it wants a job void having to further cut salaries and pensions proposal as agreed with in the coalition santa earlier this week after two elections in greece of produce a no on dr whim but economics blog that gonzalo near us says it's too early to celebrate everybody says oh yes the situation and then five minutes later it was like oh are back in the doldrums and we're going to just hide this sugar rush of call for the next couple of it is all right no experience in it and you know come thursday friday and the reason i started thinking well you know i didn't really solve anything and we're still on the same hole it really for because you're trying

to do two things simultaneously on the one hand bro and on the other and back on their. civil list and on their governments in order to comply with the call for austerity measures now you can too you can do the same thing and do lots of things at same time it's either one of them i mean if you squeeze the people all of the people are going to scream and when the screen governments fall and that's what we're going to be seeing in the near term future if this government pursues these austerity measures which have been ineffective over the last two years and so there's no reason to think that they're going to be effective over the next it's not. what. got the world covered for you at r.t. dot com here's a taste of what's online for you right now in bahrain crackdown opposition leaders are injured as police used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse anti-government protesters. and there's no place like home but to what lengths are you willing to go to get paid well one woman decided to lie claiming she was a murderer to get

a surfer has more. hard work held under house arrest and oppressed by the government in an effort to silence a pro-democracy message to the public but we're not talking about famous political dissident. she is now free and being warmly welcomed by the british government we're talking about the western experience and freedom of speech charges of of import against julian assange that he still spent more than five hundred days under house arrest fighting extradition to sweden and possibly the u.s. . now he's desperately hating equitable in the safe haven in d.c. the latest dramatic twist in the case of julian assange is once again called the eyes of the world's media behind the could do it and to see you in a cell and takes a breath eat it away from the height and his supporters say that this is a dark a tale of a man he's been abandoned by his own country persecuted by the u.s.

and failed by the u.k.'s legal system he's not looking for consular assistance he's looking for political and diplomatic assistance and he's looking for his trial in government to stand up for and son just fights has been a long one eighteen months of legal wrangling in the case a result in the rejection of his seat between close appeal against extradition to sweden and what this was about was once julian assange gets extradited to sweden he's in prison in sweden the next thing that happens is the u.s. assuming there's an indictment lodges an extradition warrant in sweden eventually the u.s. gets his hands on him they stick him in a prison in the united states fears of what might await him across the atlantic may well have prompted his latest me i think you'll end up actually the united states facing very serious charge probably life in prison if not the death toll the and it will be a stacked kangaroo court against those who are sitting with the bradley manning case united states now has kangaroo courts rather than real course these own time

founded concerns as a long list of u.s. biggest a pinny cools not only for songes incarceration even if the his death this guy is a traitor a treasonous and he has broken every law the united states the guy ought to be and i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death penalty i want to do it illegally shoot the son of a and his why because of his work with wiki leaks this guy has made some powerful enemies you know the collateral murder video which shows american helicopter gunships shooting reporters the iraq war logs the afghan war diaries all of a stick cable guy. has embarrassed the american british government freedom fighting in the twenty first century is a whole new ball game new rules new players and unexpected moves even first songes legal team this was a complete surprise so we found out about it on twitter and see the man he revolutionized whistleblowing and through wiki leaks released groundbreaking stories has in another twist become the story himself and there are many now hoping

that the next big release will be julian assange himself served r.t. london. we could lead set of his clarke us talk lee says political asylum in ecuador is the best chance for science to continue his work of making revelations about the u.s. . we're not so worried about him going to sweden actually but that's just small business what we're most worried about is him getting extradited to the united states and it's being orchestrated by the department of justice and most of the mainstream media doesn't seem to know about it because no one is allowed in and this is been going on simultaneously as bradley manning's trial i would say it's a fifty fifty chance either it does or doesn't i pull in for it sounds like this is a very good option so that julian can continue to do the great work he has been

doing for journalism ecuador would be a very good choice but i think the likelihood of an extradition from ecuador is a lot less than it would be from sweden or the u.k. . while under house arrest in the u.k. julian assange just produce a series of interviews shay's with political figures from around the world everyone . you can catch all the episodes including the one with president korea who will now decide on a son just asylum application that's all on the website at r.t. dot com. point to national news stories in brief for you now paraguayan is facing political isolation with many of its latin american neighbors with join them bassett as from the country the move comes after president fernando lugo was ousted from power in an impeachment trial on saturday played a ninety four vote in the senate saw him removed over his handling of violence of

states nuclear interest. she can has the latest garbage that american officials may sound defensive when they talk about cyber attacks is being made to the country's security a weapon of mass disruption you could have a cyber attack very would be years consequential intrusion economy maybe really in terms of russia right to producer she would work for him next. pearl harbor that we confront could very well be a cyber attack that cripples our our power systems or in our grid acts of terror could come not only from a few extremists and suicide vests but from a few keystrokes on the computer but it turns out the u.s. government itself carries out cyber attacks against other nations the washington post cites officials speaking on condition of anonymity who say entrap aeration full cyber sabotage against iran the u.s. and israel developed the flame virus flame is the most complex computer spying program ever discovered it has the capacity to steal or alger elec twenty documents

by now nobody doubts the program was development by a government entity that something like this appears to be what they would call state sponsored it sounds like the n.s.a. it is a means by me that it necessary to say has and does this kind of thing we know they've done this kind of things you're getting intelligence without having to put someone actually there it's cyber espionage while the flame war was collecting intelligence the stuxnet virus borrowed into iran's nuclear program and created havoc in its uranium enrichment centrifuges the obama administration did not deny the leaks in the new york times that had teamed up with israel to create stocks net some fear that the move almost invites retaliation where you attack or for instance iran is no clear program you provide the iranians with their weapons your word which they can read reverse engineer take apart figure out how it works turn it around

send your way a leading moscow based security firm which uncovered the flame virus as part of its code is nearly identical to the code finding stuxnet and suggested that the viruses were developed by two teams working in collaboration leaks in the press support that assessment one official also on condition of anonymity said. it's just the beginning and the u.s. is preparing the battlefield for another type of covered action we're setting precedent for other nations and that's where the real problem lies because we've been criticizing china for allegedly attacking united states companies and u.s. governments while the same time engaging at this in the same conduct with other countries feel bomb administration has openly confirmed hacking websites but only if alleged al qaeda sympathizers in yemen the u.s. secretary of state described this cyber effort as part of a larger attack on terrorism but many fear the u.s. cyber efforts go well beyond that. as u.s.

defense authorities go offensive in cyber warfare the pentagon's cyber command has fast tracked the development of the weapons the administration just announced a one hundred ten million dollars program to solicit proposals from universities and video game manufacturers to so much hype about cyber war is that some people that seem to be in the authority about war start talking about technology as if they understand that they're always talking about war because that's their business and so they're trying to row technology into that and so when we have no control of our technology we have these people that wish to use it for for their ends for war specifically that's a recipe for some pretty scary stuff cyberspace as a whole is now seen by the u.s. military is a vast area of opportunity you can really tell the government don't do to others what you don't want them to tell you but in light of the recent revelations about the us being engaged in a cyber attack one might ask what the message that the center of all the government team and the dems cyberattacks packard's and all but it felt like
