one am in moscow i matras a good to have you with us here on r t our top story the muslim brotherhoods mohamed morsi has been named egypt's new president is the misleader gathered up to fifty two percent of the votes after a run out with mubarak era prime minister ahmed shafik artie's paullus leader has more from cairo. the mood here is just simply electrifying when those results were announced that mohamed morsi of the muslim brotherhood is egypt's an ex-president the crowd here would simply mad 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 there's this constant explosion of fire words on the streets leading to tell here square are completely jam packed and they choose 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 president now the correct elations of 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 that egypt now has a place at the table of democratic nations indeed at this stage it looks as if morsi hands will be time and this is largely due to the pole 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 effectively 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 divided egypt he will need somehow to try and unite the great divisions what kind he witnessing in this country behind him there is also be a 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 sendak a political sociologist from 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 defeated by fear if you feudal system you would vote phobos if you feel most eat you would photoshop feet and now there was a victory for policy if you will on the source and the clothes that these are the women how to ski you know questions are skewed a lot of people are very worried about the future somehow i think that it be cast

and the obituary of egypt egypt is going to give the dog a just on the mood of hama most people but you have also at the same time people are saying no it's good let us give him a chance i see mostly because i'm going to make any major changes in foreign policy he sent me assurances but then i could states is really a you know that that it's not going to give me the show chips the upswing in the sick the fighting the end of corruption and hope we'll see if the stock up on foreign policy. always interested in your comments on what we're reporting on our website we're asking what you think is next for you jim now than islamists has been elected president so far most say the religious divide in egypt will only get worse thirty two percent think the military council will retain power with mercy as a figurehead about a fifth think that the new president will become a tool of the west and thirteen percent say morsi will succeed in building

a stable democratic egypt plays on to r.t. dot com and. turkey insists its military jet shot down by syrian forces friday wasn't spying but rather was on a training flight the incident adds to the pressure piled on damascus as nato is now going to look into what happened syria maintains it was just protecting its sovereignty which is a nato member says the plane crossed into syria by mistake before it was hit but was in international airspace at the time of the incident the alliance's said to discuss the situation tuesday at turkey's or west the wreckage of the plane has been found in the mediterranean but the two pilots are still missing syria state t.v. reports the country's border guards have stopped a group of militants trying to cross into syria from turkey john a reason from the stop the war coalition thinks turkey's involvement is bringing the larger powers into play in the syrian conflict. well i certainly think that we're witnessing the druyan of the major powers into the conflict in syria but

we've seen here reprint in speech warning the russians about the provision of attack helicopters we've seen british send a ship back supposedly carrying a child it was from around the coast of britain back to back to russia and now we see this incursion into syrian airspace but by the turkish air was which even contested 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 air space what this all adds up to is the syrian conflict which. it's now becoming a conflict between the major powers and that's more dangerous even than the war in afghanistan or iraq where the major powers are more or less a lot of the same sorry but it seems to me that recently wreckage has been found within syrian waters but the trouble with here is that there's it's not so much who was exactly to blame on one side or the other in this instance it's the political

capital that we've made out of it we all know that such incidents can either be passed all apologies to people like goes back to normal or they can be made a course belo they can be made. these conflicts escalate and i imagine that given the stance of the united states and the u.k. here and other western powers towards the syrian conflict and towards. the other powers engaged in this struggle but that's what will stick russia's faced a barrage of criticism this week for allegedly sending arms to syria claims denied by moscow archy's laura smith looks into the hyped up reports me 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 war ships on a ship that's been the question for the past week as reports are since it was on its way according to the reports the battleships were laden with troops and headed

to syria it later turned out they would know when the syria they're in their home port of sevastopol empty but in the fog of war any reports however it accurate had some kind of employment. 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 after it was found 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 that indeed was carrying defense systems and it was carrying three helicopters which have been repaired in russia under the control signed into cells of a soviet helicopters and they have been in syria from seoul get this and the fuel cells and there was a concert the repeal of the bastille to be assembled in the well delivered they have to be assembled 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 made me 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 the. suited them for the us and use the agents use love the story because it matches their narrative you know the. regime and its supporters in iran or russia or china. they are the ones who are. the conflict instead of seeking. peaceful solution so they believe the story you know. and use agents use then that'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 who said no longer wanted president taft in power in syria russia's foreign ministry later didn't know 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 a 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 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 oh t. . stay with us here on r.t. still ahead us in

a russian president's meeting in mexico for the first time since putin's reelection we look at what the two had to say about the syria deadlock and u.s. plans for missile defense in europe plus. the world leaders agree boosting growth is key is they hope to escape the fallout from greece. but first ecuador's ambassador to the u.k. has flown home to hold talks on the fate of julia massage tuesday the wiki leaks editor asked for political asylum in the country's london embassy after his final appeal against extradition to sweden was denied assad's claims that he should that should he be deported to sweden he would subsequently be extradited to the u.s. and charged for his whistleblowing work r.t. sara for more. 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 exponent of freedom of speech the charges of ever being julian assange yet he 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 see the latest dramatic twist in the case of julian assange has once again caught the eye of the world's media behind the ecuadorian embassy those julian assange takes recchi that 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 the son just fights 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

gets extradited to sweden he's in prison in sweden the next thing that happens is the u.s. assuming there's an indictment largest 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 very very serious charge probably life in prison if not the death penalty and it will be a stacked against as we're seeing with the bradley manning case united states now has come to records rather than will course these on time founded concerns as a long list of u.s. biggest he. openly cool's not only for songes incarceration but even for 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 shows american helicopter gunships shooting reporters the iraq war logs the afghan war diaries all of this the cable guy leaks has embarrassed the american british government's freedom fighting in the twenty first century is a whole new ball game new rules you play is an unexpected me even his legal team this was a complete surprise so we found out about it on twitter and say the man he revolutionized with and three wiki leaks released groundbreaking stories has in another twist become the story himself and there are many now hyping that the next big rally. himself served. london. while a song seeks asylum in ecuador his native australia is effectively shied away from involvement in his case sydney based journalist mary coast a kid who says it's

a disgrace that authorities have never even tried to protect the rights of one of their own citizens. point is they haven't tried that's the problem the state has an obligation to its citizens to protect their human rights we live in an advanced western democracy we expect our government to act in a way that's principled and courageous and to show leadership in the protection of human rights astray has lost all moral authority to lecture other countries on human rights i think it's a very sad day for our country if the sec does this region has a rather different arrangement with the u.s. to the u.k. so it will be easier to get to the us from sweden but let's not ignore the facts we've been has covertly handed over people to the us handed over saddam seekers to the cia those people were tortured and in the end it was a case of mistaken identity so swing's track record is not good

a sounders place is in a strain yet he needs to be back here. the man who will decide the songes fate ecuador's president rafael correa is in fact the most recent guest on the whistleblowers talk show which airs weekly here on r t the next programs on tuesday at eleven thirty g.m.t. and you can watch all the previous episodes online at assan dot com while you're there check out other stories that are a click away including this sky high and this deep china marks two technological milestones one in the earth's orbit and another at the bottom of the marion trench . and a guinness world record has been set in russia's republic of yakutia as fifteen thousand joined in the largest circle that it's ever held. both moscow and washington of stress that the syrian people should be able to choose their own future by democratic process the statement came at the g twenty summit in mexico where presidents obama and putin agreed

a civil war must be prevented it's the first time the two out of met as heads of state they've 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 little progress on the u.s. controversial plans for a missile defense shield in europe leaders said the dialogue will continue but russia has yet to get guarantees the rockets won't 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 but i'm convinced the truth. does not will conflict with washington he wants to resolve the issue of the missile bases that are surrounding and 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 in a bomber is not exactly in a position to be able to. stop that. he will do what he can to get along with britain but he still has to represent the agenda of the world in general and regime change and so the situation i think is unresolved. the state of the euro zone's finances was the main concern for world leaders in mexico this week boosting growth has been named the key goal with fears of the fallout from greece could lead to global contagion leaders of germany france italy and spain agreed on one hundred thirty billion euro package to safeguard the struggling euro meanwhile greece's newly formed coalition is seeking an additional two years to slash its deficit is hoping to avoid further drastic cuts to salaries and pensions that have sparked widespread protests potential strategist thomas to

gessen says greece may have to leave the euro if the belo deal is not renegotiated a new democracy and pasok they only have the majority in parliament due to the peculiar greek election rules in fact more than fifty percent up votes went to e.u. critical parties none of the two blocs in the greek parliamentary election had a credible plan for turning the greek economy around from its current meltdown and the risk of a greek exit from the euro remains high either there will be a renegotiation off the treaty or rispoli eventually have to leave the euro and the problem here is that if economic circumstances how allowed to deteriorate any further now everybody can see already today that austerity is killing greece it's also killing spain portugal ireland and other european economies if you believe that so fast up but to long it won't be a deliberate and political decision when greece leaves it will be forced by economic circumstances so i think germany will have to back off from this one all face the responsibility of some kind of euro break up before too many months have

passed israeli police have arrested eighty five protesters after they clashed with officers and smashed windows during a demonstration in tel aviv some twenty people will be facing criminal charges there ali was called after the arrest of social activists a day earlier they're angry about the rising cost of living and police brutality they say happened earlier protests journalist and writer maya when arie says the government could be ignoring the demands of the people. i think that the protests are needed but i think that what they learned from last year's protests is that the government doesn't really care what the people think the government isn't really going to respond or do anything to change the situation you know our electricity prices went out this winter. i mean talking lehi are socked with mine. 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 times there on the road and i stumbled upon a meeting where someone who was sitting on the margin of the grew. at 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 stiglitz some other stories making headlines across the globe powered by facing political isolation with many of its live american neighbors recalling their ambassadors from the country venezuela went as far as declaring it is ending oil exports to the nation the move came after president fernando lugo was ousted from power after

a senate vote friday newly sworn in leader frederico franco's condemned foreign leaders decision but promised to open dialogue with. the neighboring bolivia deal to end a police strike reached by the government and police unions has been rejected by rank and file officers the army has been deployed to patrol streets i mean to fears the mutiny could lead to a coup under-estimated thursday when dozens of officers seized an elite units headquarters close to the presidential palace demanding a pay raise. unnamed u.s. officials say the u.s. was responsible for last month's massive cyber attack on iran the state of the are malware called flame is said to have been created by the u.s. and israel to spy on and possibly sabotage islamic states nuclear progress or he's got a shaky on has more. 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 of a loss of life as things we typically associate with war for the next pearl harbor that we confront could very well be a cyber attack acts of terror could come not only from a few extremists in 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 else or 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 necessary to see has it 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 it had teamed up with israel to create stuxnet at some fear that the move almost invites retaliation a leading moscow based security firm which i covered the flame virus says part of its code is nearly ident. called 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 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 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 row 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 basket area of opportunity you can't really tell the government don't do to others what you don't want them to you but a lot of the recent revelations about the u.s. being a state fiber one might ask what are the message that is thanks to the way the government beeman the dems cyber. hackers and all but it is still like one hell of a hacker i'm going to check out we're putting the washing our. charlie we report on a struggle among women to win more freedom in reform in afghanistan but first the headlines stay with us.

culture is that so much could be easily made even if a lot of people are here is an average of what is the future of european union will be a federal union in order to continue to keep the hero down the road. we have a global war lords will give him a note so we have a lot of illegal call groups of the called citizens who sues all our views in the home or right enough to just my marriage was like many other mileage it wasn't forced marriage it's the smadi when i was fifteen yes so you can liberate other women and you certainly can't do it through the barrel of

a gun only effective social changes can be the afghans themselves afghan men and women we believe going to spawn cannot truly cross paths without the part of the fish and its chemical position and that it construction stuff people in the obama administration talking about how much they care about the women of afghanistan it's not true they don't care about the women of afghanistan. line. would be soon which by.
