morsi is hands will be time and this is not actually due to the power grabs recently made by the ruling military it was just several days ago that they dissolved the parliament of which one third is muslim brotherhood they also issued an interim constitution saying that they would decide who would be those who would draft 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 a 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 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 but he is partially reporting for us there from a cairo now sticking with the story of dr saeed a sudden

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 scared by. this election was given to by feel if you feel the old system you would vote for posey if you feel most see you with both feet and out there was a victory for bossi if you go on the social intercourse and be sure that women are too scared christians are scared a lot of people are very worried about the future somehow i think it because i have and the obituary of egypt egypt is going to give the dog a just on the mood 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 make any major changes in foreign policy he said many assurances but then i could states to insulate the e.u. that it's probably going to do what you need we showed the upswing in specific the

fighting in terms of corruption and hope we'll see if the stock up on foreign policy. of course as always we're interested to hear your view on our website we're asking what you think is next for egypt now that an islamist has been elected president so far most say the religious divide in egypt will only worsen thirty two percent believe the military council will keep its power with morsi acting as a nominal figure about a fifth think that the new president will become a puppet of the west just thirteen percent say mohamed morsi will succeed in building a stable democratic egypt log on to our website or to dot com and have your say. turkey has called an emergency meeting of nato to look into how it will respond after syria downed one of its fighter jets on friday on car insists the plane was not spying but was on a training flight to mask its maintains it was protecting its sovereignty turkish authorities say the plane crossed into syria by mistake but it was in international

airspace when it was hit the wreckage of the plane has been located in the mediterranean but the two pilots are still unaccounted for meanwhile syrian state t.v. reports the country's a border guards have stopped a group of militants trying to cross into syria from turkey john reese from the stop the war coalition says turkey's involvement is bringing the major powers into play in the syrian conflict. well i certainly think that we're witnessing the drawing in of the major powers into the conflict in syria we've seen here a clinton speech warning the russians about the provision of attack helicopters we've seen the british send the ship back supposedly carrying a telecom was from around the coast of britain back to back to russia and now we see this incursion into syrian airspace by by the turkish air force 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 air space or

what this all adds up to is a syrian conflict which is 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 all aligned on the same side but it seems to me that recently wreckage has been found within syrian waters but the trouble with the system 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 are either be passed off on apologies that life goes back to normal or they can be made a course bellicosity by a moment when the conflict 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 that that's what we're saying russia has faced a barrage of criticism this week for allegedly shipping arms to syria claims denied

by moscow artie's last month 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 war ships on new ships 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 arms and troops and headed for syria it later turned out they were nowhere near syria they're in their home port of sevastopol empty but in the fog of war any reports however it accurate has some kind of influence. as you have so many forces. excited about the euro that is that. they will. get there through this information as they will like they did before the

war and before. intervening in afghanistan in the late seventy's also. this information there was one ship it was turned back off the coast of scotland. 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 pushing for which is being discussed but these days indeed it was scary defense systems and it was carrying three of those which have been the fear in russia. for signs of a. good. deal in syria from soldiers. and if

there was a conflict very few of them there still to be assembled to. deliver the symbols of the entire process will face 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 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 quote said no longer wanted president back 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 in a. it's all another attempt to exert pressure on russia the last fifteen months is being immediate in syria the crisis to syrian crisis is seventy percent of media so two percent on the ground so it is a quite

a lot of stories every day. like for some model of stations like zero some of those using you tube. there is no reports anymore it 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. and you are with are two still ahead this hour u.s. and russian presidents meet in mexico for the first time since. we look at what the two had to say about the syria deadlock and america's plans for missile defense and the. end of world leaders agree boosting growth is key as they hope to escape the fallout from greece. adores ambassador to the u.k.

has flown home to hold talks on the fate of join us on tuesday the wiki leaks editor has asked for political asylum in the country's london embassy after his final appeal against extradition to sweden was denied claims that should he be deported to sweden he would subsequently be extradited to the u.s. and charged for his whistleblowing 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 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 of imported get 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 he seeks the latest dramatic

twist in the case of julian assange she is once again called the eyes of the world's media behind the ecuadorian embassy in a style and takes it 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 he's not looking for consular assistance he's looking for political and diplomatic assistance and he's looking for a government to stand up for and the son just fights has been a long one eighteen months of legal wrangling in the resulted in the rejection of his supreme court's 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 there are there you know and are actually very very serious charge probably life in prison if not the death toll and it will be a stacked against those who are sitting with the bradley manning case united states now has carried records rather than will course these on time founded concerns as a long list of u.s. biggest. not only for songes incarceration but 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 the son of a 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 cable guy has embarrassed american british government's freedom fighting in the twenty first century is

a whole new ball game with new rules new players and unexpected me even first on 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 heaping that the next big release will be julian assange himself so r.t. london with your exact arrest clark starkly believes that could or is best option for asylum as the country is unlikely to bow to pressure from washington. we're not so worried about him going to sweden actually. 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 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. the man who will decide julian assange fate ecuadorian president rafael correa is in fact the most recent guest on the whistleblowers talk show which airs weekly right here on r.t. catch the next program on tuesday at eleven thirty g.m.t. and you can also watch all the previous episodes online dot com and while you're there check out the other stories we've got lined up for you as well. the sky high and a big deep china marks the technological milestones one in the earth's orbit and another

at the bottom of the money on the trench. and a guinness world record has been set in russia's republic as fifteen thousand people joined for the largest circle dance ever held. both moscow and washington have stressed of 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 president putin and obama agreed that a civil war must be prevented this wasn't the first time the two have met as heads of state they also called on iran to follow u.n. resolutions and cooperate with the international atomic watchdog to prove its nuclear program. entirely peaceful however there seems to be little progress on america's controversial plans for a missile shield in europe the leaders said dialogue will continue but russia has yet to get guarantees that the rockets won't be aimed its way former member of the regular administration paul craig roberts says that american policy makers may not

allow obama as much. as he wants i'm convinced that putin does not wall 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 original mean and regime change and so the situation. 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 named to the main goal with fears the fallout from greece could lead to global and tejan the leaders of germany france italy and spain have agreed for a one hundred thirty billion euro package to safeguard the struggling euro meanwhile reeses newly formed coalition is asking for an additional two years to slash its deficit athens is hoping to avoid having further drastic cuts to salaries and pensions which have caused countless protests political risk consultant john who spent says whatever greece does the calm before the next storm won't 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 has changed more arrests have been taking place in jerusalem where hundreds of protesters gathered outside of the prime minister's residence it comes after demonstrations in tel aviv on saturday when eighty five activists were arrested during clashes with police journalist and writer. says the government is ignoring the demands of the people angered at the escalating cost of living. 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 to shockingly high are shocked 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 tense there on the show and i stumbled upon a meeting where someone who was sitting on the margin of the group. sided 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 that could change things but i don't think that's going to happen now let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world as. part of why is facing further political isolation with more love american countries recalling their ambassadors from the country venezuela went as far as declaring it is ending oil exports two part of why which has also been suspended from a regional economic organization the measures come after a president for to go was ousted from power by a senate vote on friday which he called a parliamentary coupe. and in neighboring bolivia a deal two and a police strike reached by the government and the police unions has been rejected by rank and file officers the army's been deployed to patrol the streets amid fears that the new me could lead to a coup the unrest began on thursday when dozens of officers seized an elite units

headquarters close to the presidential palace demanding a pay rise. an unnamed u.s. officials say that america was responsible for last month's massive cyber attack on iran the state of the art malware dubbed the flame is said to have been created by america and israel to spy on and sabotage the islamic states nuclear progress and he's going to check out. some commentary. 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 ryan fashions 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 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 this summer this appears to be what they would call state sponsored it sounds like the n.s.a. . but i mean they're necessary to see has it 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

some fear that the move almost invites retaliation a leading moscow based security firm which i covered 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 kind of 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. 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 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 the weapons that ministration just announced a one hundred ten million dollar program to solicit proposals from the universities and video game manufacturers see 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 for their ends 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 player and yeah of opportunity you can't really tell the government don't do it whether it's what you don't want to do to you but a lot of the recent revelations about the u.s. being a state fiber act one might ask what kind of a message that the center for law by the government team of the dems cyber attacks hackers and all but it felt like one hell of

a hacker i'm going to check out reporting from washington. and shortly our team takes a look at the media coverage of syria and what's next for a country torn by conflict but first i'll be back to update you on the headlines.
