the news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to rule the day. egypt's ruling military vows to clamp down on dissent to with an iron fist. tens of thousands in cairo protest against the generals but the major presidential poll results expected later on sunday. turkey did not spying insisting its military jet shot down by syrian forces on friday was on a training flight as nature asserted jane best again. and to the world's top whistleblower is waiting for his faded to be decided by ecuador opting for find them in the country's london embassy.

live from moscow you're watching the weekly with me tom would say egyptians are waiting to hear who their next president will be state t.v. says the results of the country's first post mubarak presidential election will be announced in four hours time after twice having been delayed already crowds of demonstrators are filling cairo's tahrir square but they might be in for disappointment as artie's a policy reports. 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 who many egyptians feel is trying to keep its grab on power and this follows a recent announcement by the military that it had drawn did an interim constitution

also that it was responsible for pointing those people who would write the final constitution egypt's courts also have recently dissolved the parliament and now you need to remember that those courts are hit by judges who were pointed during the time of course mubarak mubarak was a military man and the ruling 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 have 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 interested 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 fig is that he promises security and safety but the concern. and 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 at around three o'clock sunday afternoon either morsi will be elected or should think will be announced all normal people are telling me that the results that might be an old election commission might

decide that the violations were to extreme to 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 they candidate does not win and indeed if the election results are delayed you're going to see a lot of frustration here in egypt may campbell a journalist and social activist in cairo says whatever the outcome of the election it one bring a sense of closure to egypt. the revolution continues regardless neither more to see or a shift or representing the revolution right now this is the frame of the old regime the battle between the muslim brotherhood and scaf is the old regime and it still continues and until we can get out of that framework of the revolution i believe will continue the military has really not given any indication that it will be handing over power it could be handing over in

a very symbolic way the power to the next president whoever it may be but it still has most of the story t.'s of the legislative and even the executive bodies so there is no reason right now for the muslim brotherhood to back down or to take anything for granted from the ruling military council. of course artie's the policy is there she's keeping track of the latest developments there in cairo and we're streaming live pictures from to heal square at a web site r.t. dot com. turkey insists its military jet shot down by syrian forces on friday was inspired but on a training flight the incident as to the pressure piled up on damascus as nature is now going to look into what happened syria maintains it was just protecting its over and teamed as the plane crossed into its territory by mistake according to turkey which is a nato member the alliance says it will discuss the incident on choosing uncross

request the wreckage of the turkish plane has been found in the mediterranean sea but the two pilots are still unaccounted for meanwhile syrian state t.v. reports the country's border guards have stopped a group of militants are trying to cross into syria from turkey patrick henningsen associate editor of website in forewards dot com says that turkey's involvement in the syrian conflict benefits and nature's agenda. turkey's both sides trying to play both sides of the fence with regard to syria we've also been giving refuge to free syrian army guerillas. that are western backed. run across for protection over the turkish border and they want to go into syria to conduct raids but again the western agenda i'm afraid to say that's the western agenda on syria is already decided certainly turkey is a nato country so the west has been wanting to drag turkey into the civil war under

the nato better and certainly turkey would run point saluted by the russian foreign minister sometime last year that turkey would be running point for nato as far as a no fly zone is something they desperately want to do in the west is to establish a no fly zone it will make it like a fish shooting fish in a bowl for the west clearly didn't libya. russia has faced a barrage of criticism this week for allegedly shipping arms to syria claims denied by moscow. looks into the false reports of being used to drive the headlines. syria may be on the brink of civil war but it's already the subject of a full blown media will ships on a ship that's been the question for the past week as reports well arson ship was on its way to see according to the reports the battleships were late in with zero ohms and troops and headed to syria it later turned out they would know when mysteria

there in the home port of sevastopol empty but in the fog of war any reports however it accurate had some kind of influence. as long as you have so many forces . excited about the your option there is that danger always yes they were and they were. going to get there through this information as usual rule 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 it was scary to hear defense systems and it was carrying three helicopters which have been repaired in russia under the control signed into cells of a there was a soviet helicopter seven hundred fifty in syria from seoul give them the fuel cells and say there was a concert to repeal the bastille to be assembled when they are delivered a fifth of the symbols of the entire process will fit with less than three months so to speak about something which we just sold to syria and which is being used. in action is not true that it wasn't only ships apparently war games were planned to it 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 that u.s. outlets took it up because the. suited them for the us and use the agency just love the story because it matches their. 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. peaceful solution so they like the story you know . and use agents use 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 back in power in syria russia's foreign ministry later denied that was peace his 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 model of stations by just using you tube and there is no confirmed reports anymore it's said the first casualty of war is the truth and all the international rumor mongering and jockeying for position comes at the expense of the syrian people the situation doesn't change regardless of which country won the latest battle of words. the syrian stalemate was in focus when presidents of burgeon and obama bet in

mexico coming up on r g wall on how the leaders agree that syrians should be able to choose their own future and must avoid it's a very. and the world leaders agree boosting growth is key as they hope to escape the bailout the fallout from greece rather. there could dorrian ambassador to the u.k. is to hold talks with president rafael correa on the fate of julian assange he's asked for political asylum in the latin american country there was a blow up to refuse in the country's embassy in london and she's day after the u.k. supreme court rejected an appeal against his extradition to sweden a son fears he will be immediately extradited to the u.s. where he could face the death penalty sara for it has the story. 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 song suchi she's now free and being warmly welcomed by the british

government we're talking about a western exponents of freedom of speech the charges of ever being bought it gets julian assange yet he's still spent more than five hundred days under house arrest fighting extradition to sweden and possibly the u.s. now he's desperately hoping ecuador in the safe haven he seeks the latest dramatic twist in the case of julian assange is once again called the eyes of the world's media behind the ecuadorian embassy in a cell and takes refuge but away from the height and his supporters say that this is a dark a tale of a man who has been abandoned by his own country persecuted by the u.s. and failed by the u.k.'s legal system but he's not looking for consular assistance he's looking for political and diplomatic assistance and he's looking for the government to stand up for him a son just fight has been a long one eighteen months of legal wrangling in the resulted in the rejection of

his supreme court appeal against extradition to sweden what this was about was one . extradited to sweden he's in prison in sweden the next thing that happens is the u.s. assuming there's an indictment larger 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 i think you'll end up actually going through some very serious charge probably life in prison if not the death penalty and it will be a start to court against as are seeing with the bradley manning case united states now has the records rather than we'll of course these on time founded concerns as a long list of u.s. figures. not only for songes incarceration even for his death this guy is a traitor treasonous and he has broken every law the united states the guy ought to be and i'm not for the death penalty so i'm not for the death penalty i want to do

it illegally shoot and here's why because of his work with wiki leaks this guy has made some powerful enemies you know the collateral murder video shows american helicopter gunships shooting reporters the iraq war logs the afghan war diaries all of this. has embarrassed the american british government freedom fighting in the twenty first century is a whole new ball game with 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 say the man he revolutionized whistleblowing and three 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 so r.t. london. we can leaks activists activists clark stalk lee believes there is

a son just best option for asylum as a country isn't likely to bow to pressure from washington. we're not so worried about him going to sweden actually that's that's just small business what were 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 struggle i would say it's a fifty fifty chance either it does or doesn't i pulling 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 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 who was filming his talk show that is weekly on our team president rafael correa was in fact among his guests because the next program on tuesday at eleven thirty g.m.t. and you can also watch for the entire series or so far online at r.t. dot com and while you're there check out other stories we have lined up for you today the roof of a busy mall in canada is one taria all collapses leaving at least four injured and prompting a local state of emergency. plus is england versus its in europe twenty twelve and while both teams will be trying to make it to the next round it's getting the rounds in at the pub that's worrying public health bosses in england who want to encourage sport football is only an excuse. both moscow and washington have stressed that syrians should be able to choose their own future in a democratic process at the summit of the g twenty in mexico presidents putin and

obama agree that a civil war must be prevented this is the first time the two have met as heads of state they also called on iran to follow un resolutions and cooperate with the international atomic watchdog to prove its nuclear program is entirely peaceful however there seems to be little progress on america's controversial plan to missile shield in europe the leaders said dialogue will continue but russia has yet to receive guarantees of the rockets it won't be aimed its way from a member of the reagan administration paul craig roberts as american policy makers may not allow obama as much license as he wants. to resolve the issue of missile bases around the russian. word and. he doesn't really count. either but he is just one member

of a government that wants regime change and syria and obama is not exactly in a position to be able to stop that. he will do what he can to get along with couldn't but he still has to represent the agenda. world age in a me and regime change and so the situation i think is on resolved. the state of the euro zone's finances wasn't the main worry for world leaders in mexico this week basing growth has been named the main goal with the fallout from greece it could lead to that label contagion the leaders of germany france say it's in the end spain have agreed for one hundred thirty billion euro package to safeguard the struggling u.s. meanwhile greece is a newly formed coalition is asking for an additional two yes' to slash its deficit

athens is hoping to avoid having for the drastic cuts the two salaries and pensions which have caused contest protests political risk consultant john hulsman as says whatever greece does the calm before the next one to last long. although this buys us a 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 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 once maurice doesn't get the

terms he wants 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 the leading demonstrations in the streets growing ever more popular and then they can say you see we were right nothing's changed. coming your way a growing evidence that the u.s. and israel are behind a massive hacking attack against iran i believe the joint to develop the malware which collected intelligence and was created to sabotage iran's nuclear program details in just a few moments. world news in brief for you now eighty five people have been detained in tel aviv overnight of clashes between demonstrators and security forces riot followed the arrest of twelve social activists protesters a block to bring those are shuttered the windows of banks and scuffled with police last summer thousands are judged in the streets of israel calling for economic and social reforms but not all of the demands have been implemented.

a massive cyber attack on iran the state of the. flame is said to have been created by america and israel to spy on and seven states nuclear program r.t. is a game you can has the story. that american officials may sound defensive when they talk about cyber attacks as being a major threat to the country's security a weapon of mass disruption you could have a cyber attack that would be as consequential in terms of the economy maybe even in terms of problem washing right and fast things we typically associate with war for the next pearl harbor that we confront could very well be a cyber attack that cripples our our power system cerner 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 trani documents by now nobody doubts the program was development by a government entity 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 necessary to say has and does this kind of thing we know they've done this kind of think 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 it had teamed up with israel to create stuxnet at some fear that the move almost invites retaliation where you attack for instance iraq's

nuclear program you provide the iranians with your weapon your worm which they can read reverse engineer take apart figure out how it works turn it around send it your way elise. eating moscow based security firm which i covered the flame virus says part of its code is nearly identical to the code finding stocks net 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 is 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 in this in the same conduct with other countries feel by ministration has openly confirmed hacking websites but only if

alleged al qaeda sympathizers in yemen the u.s. secretary of state described the 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 that ministration just announced a one hundred ten million dollar program to solicit proposals from the 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 rope technology into that and so when we have no control of our technology we have these people that wish to use it for further and for war specifically that's a recipe for some pretty scary stuff cyber space as a whole is now seen by the u.s. military as the bass area of opportunity you can't really tell the government don't do to others what you don't want them to you but in light of the recent revelations

about the u.s. being a state library that one might ask what are the methods that he thinks the war like the government beam of the dems library. hackers and all but it will act like one hell of a hawk. i'm going to check out reporting from washington our. shortly we discuss the media coverage of syria and then what's next for a country torn up by conflict but first a lot of dates on the headlines. the
