live pictures from the egypt where the wait is over the muslim brotherhood's mohamed mercy naming the country's next leader. now for the tank top its plan and it seems that it might be noticed by democrats you can extend all the details just. turkey denies spying insisting its military jet shot down by syrian forces friday it was on a training flight as nato was set to investigate. and the world's top whistleblower julian assange waiting for his fate to be decided by ecuador after he asked for asylum in the country's london embassy.

midnight in moscow i matras are bring you today's top stories and a look back at the week's news here on r t and islam is mohammed morsi has been elected egypt's new president the muslim brotherhood candidate won nearly fifty two percent of the vote in the runoff last week his rival the mubarak era prime minister ahmed garner just more than forty eight percent or he's powerless leader has the latest from tahrir square. the mood here is just simply electrifying when those results were announced that mohamed morsi of the muslim brotherhood is egypt's next president the crowd here when the pain med and since then they've been cheering they've been shouting they've been waving flags i walked past a group of women who had linked arms and were crying they've been men and knelt down in prayer at the same time you see here behind me there's this constant explosion of fire words on the streets leading to tell here square are completely

jam packed and they shoot the cars are hunkering their horns as they drive up and down the most effects announced that he is resigning from the muslim brotherhood this is a pledge he gave that he would be a non partisan and president now the congratulations have started coming in one of the first to congratulate morsi was the head of the ruling military mohamed tahtawi at the same time the first foreign country to congratulate him was the ambassador from turkey he said and i'm quoting him that egypt now has a place at the table of democratic nations amongst the other countries have given their congratulations in the palestinian authority we know that celebrations like this one are happening currently in gaza at the same time we know that a number of presidential candidates have told people to give their congratulations the money they leave the presidential candidate a move that indeed at this stage it looks as if most east hands will be time and

this is not to be due to the poll grabs recently made by the ruling military it was just several days ago that they dissolved the parliament of which one food is muslim brotherhood they also issued an interim constitution saying that they would decide who would be those who would talk to egypt's final constitution if it to be making them the country's in or make his so one of the first priorities for most it will be to determine exactly what his powers on he will also need to deal with the constitution he will need to deal with the parliament at the same time he will need to deal with a very divine. egypt he will meet somehow to try and unite the great divisions what kind we witnessing in this country behind him there is also be declining economy as well as the increasing power of the military only of these are going to be urgent issues that morsi needs to address dr saeed sadak a political sociologist at the american university in cairo says while many egyptians are happy with morsi is when there are also those who are frightened by

this election was by few if you feudal system you would vote for both if you feel most see you with both feet and now there was a victory for both see if you will on the source and the closer these are women out to skew their questions are skewed a lot of people are very worried about the future somehow i think it because i have and the obituary of eason egypt is going to give the dog a just on the rule of comedy but you have also at the same five people are saying no it's good let us give him a chance i see mostly because i'm going to be any major changes in foreign policy he sent me assurances that the united states is going to be the e.u. that is the other going to be with me the issue of chips the spring in the city and finding the end of corruption and for cook we'll see if the stock up on foreign

policy. turkey insists its military jet shot down by syrian forces on friday wasn't spying but rather on a training mission syria maintains it was protecting its sovereignty the incident adds up to pressure piled on damascus as nato says it's now going to investigate what happened let's go to talk more about the incident in the possible ramifications for the region i'm joined by john aris from the stop the war coalition in a london so how dangerous do you think this situation is nato is now said to investigate do you think this could lead to more confrontation. well i certainly think that we're witnessing the drawing in of the major powers into the conflict in syria but we've seen here replay into the speech warning the russians about the provision of attack helicopters we've seen the british send a ship back supposedly carrying. some from around the coast of britain back to back to russia and now we see this incursion into syrian airspace by the polls which is

uncontested by the way they admit they were in the syrian air space they can test whether or not the plane was shot down while it was still in syrian airspace what this all adds up to is the syrian conflict which is now becoming a conflict between the major powers and not only even the war in afghanistan or iraq where the major powers are more or less a lot of the same saudi. claims the jet was in international airspace when it was shot down the what has conceded that it strayed over the line into syrian territory do you think damascus was correct in its actions. well i have no idea and none of us can know for sure because these will be. things which are which are held within the military establishment so i'm on both sides but it seems to me that recently wreckage has confined within syrian waters but the trouble with his that this is not so much who was exactly to blame on one side or another in this instance it's

the political capital that we made out of it we all know that such incidents can either be passed all apologies accepted and life goes back to normal or they can be made a course belise they can be made when these conflicts escalate and i imagine that given the stance of the united states and the u.k. here and other western powers toward the syrian conflict on towards. the other powers engaged in the struggle that's what it will say now there are always those conspiracy theorists who say that this can be a deliberate provocation what do you make about that well i doubt it i mean it is of course theoretically possible that what the turks were doing was probing syrian airspace to see whether or not they would react in this way ahead of a more substantial intervention but i doubt it i think actually this is probably an error but the point is that when international relations become this tense when the

diplomatic atmosphere is been has been heightened to this degree such errors become part of a process a part of a wider process which is more than executed deliberate and that's the danger of the situation and finally and briefly if you can the peace process in syria seems deadlocked at the moment what do you think needs to be done to break that stalemate . well it could be broken into in a number of ways of the outside regime is a tyrannical dynastic dictatorship and i hope that the syrian revolution manages to end it in the way that the barak regime was ended by the egyptian revolution but the danger is that the revolution has become devoid of some of the forces within the syrian revolution and i call it and have been for some time but western intervention and some of them relying on supplied by turkey saudi arabia and that this will both divide the revolution and make it more. regime to carry on

at the same time in both the western powers and their local proxies in process even greater conflict than we've seen either in iraq or afghanistan that would be a very very serious development date all right john kerry's going to stop the war coalition thanks very much for your time thank you russia has faced a barrage of criticism this week for allegedly shipping arms to syria claims denied by moscow artie's laura smith looks into the hyped up reports 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 sit on day ships that spin the question for the past week as reports are since it was on its way according to the reports the battleships were late in with troops and headed for syria it later turned out they would know with me syria that right now. empty but in the fog of war any

reports however inaccurate had some kind of influence. as you have so many forces. excited about the euro there is that danger always yes they were and they were. going to get there through this information as usual like they did before the iraq war and before. intervening in afghanistan in the late seventy's also there was a delay of some information there was one ship it was turned back off the coast of scotland respond to be carrying helicopter parts bound to syria q assertions 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 the shape of which is being discussed but these days he indeed was carrying defense systems and it was carrying three helicopters which have been repaired in russia under the control of science in two thousand and eight there was a soviet helicopter seven hundred fifty in syria from seoul get this and the fuel cells and there was a construct a repeal of the bastille to be assembled in the well delivered they have to be assembled 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 it. suited them for the u.s. 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. they are the ones who are. the conflict instead of seeking the 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 the meeting with president putin at the recent g twenty summit saying puts it no longer wanted president taft in power in syria russia's foreign ministry late to deny 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 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 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 lower smith. the syrian stalemate was in focus when president obama and putin mexico still to come on our team or on how the leaders agree the syrians should be free to choose their own future and must employ civil war. and world leaders agree

going to respond or do anything to change the situation you know our electricity prices went out this winter. i mean socking the high are stocked with my bill. so i think i mean there's a need for a new strategy and i think what we might have seen last night was a manifestation of a new strategy i stumbled upon a meeting at the at the end of last year's protests but not even at the protests at the very very end when the city was going to come and dismantle you know the last tents there on the road and i stumbled upon a meeting where someone who was sitting on the margin of the group. side it and it was kind of ignored by the people leading the meeting but he said we need violence you know violence will be the only way to change things i'm not sure that that's the correct answer i don't think things will change if they didn't change after last summer when you know hundreds of thousands went out if you could get maybe a million or two million marching back it seems things but i don't think that's

going to happen both moscow and washington of stress the syrians should be able to choose their own future in a democratic process at the summit of the g twenty in mexico president obama and putin agreed a civil war must be prevented this was the first time that you have to 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 peaceful but there seems to be little progress on the u.s. controversial plan missile shield for europe leaders said dialogue will continue but russia has yet to get guarantees the rockets will be aimed its way former member of the reagan administration paul craig roberts says u.s. policy makers may not allow obama as much license as he wants. i'm convinced that putin does not will conflicts with washington he wants to resolve the issue of the missile bases that are surrounding their russia he doesn't want

conflict and obama. he doesn't want any conflict either but he is just one member government that wants regime change in 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 putin but he still has to represent the agenda. world agent to me and regime change and so the situation i think is on resolves the state of the euro zone's finances was the main worry for world leaders in mexico this week boosting growth has been called the main goal with fears the fallout from greece could lead to global contagion leaders of germany france italy and spain agreed on a one hundred thirty billion euro package to safeguard the struggling currency meanwhile greece is newly formed coalition is asking for an additional two years to

slash its deficit athens hoping to avoid a further drastic cuts to salaries and pensions which of cause countless protests political risk consultant john holzman says whatever greece does the calm before the next storm may not last long. 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 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. 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
