stories and taking a look at your top headlines this is our team glad to have you with us we start in egypt where muslim brotherhoods mohamed morsi has been named egypt's new president the islamist leader gathered up to fifty two percent of the votes after a runoff with mubarak era prime minister ahmed shafik parties. square with the latest. 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 won't cost a group of women who had linked arms and were crying they've been men and knelt down and where there's this constant explosion of fire words on the streets leading

to tell here square are completely jam packed and they've chewed the cars are hunkering their horns as they drive up and down one of 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 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 that egypt now has a place at the table of democratic nations indeed at this stage it looks as if most of hands will be time and this is largely 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 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 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. artie's post they're reporting for us they're sticking with this story dr saeed a subject a political sociologist at the american university in cairo says that while many egyptians are happy with morsi is when there are also those who are scared by it. this election was defeated by fear if you feudal system you would look hobo see if you a few most see you with photoshop feet by now who is i think to focus on if you will

on the source in the quotes and you should know who we're going to skew the questions on skewed a lot of people who are very worried about the future somehow i think it becomes and don't be too easy an easy to school to get the ok just on those who are of comet most people but you have most of the same five people who are saying no it's good let us give them a chance i see mostly because i'm going to be anything we should change is the point policy he sent me an assurance is that they're not states is leave you get a you know that that is rough going to eat me sure chips the ups is basically finding out you don't look good option until cook will see if the stock up on foreign policy. of course we're always 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 morsi will become a puppet of the west twenty nine percent believe he will be

a nominal figure while the military council will keep the real power twenty six percent think egypt's religious divide will worsen while just thirteen percent say mohamed morsi will succeed in creating a stable democratic egypt log onto our web site r.t. 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 damascus 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 border guards have stopped a group of militants trying to cross into syria from turkey from 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 a ship back supposedly carrying a telecom. 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 there is it's 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 off on apologies that didn't life goes back to normal or they can be made a course belo 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 towards the syrian conflict and towards. the other powers engaged in this struggle that that's what we'll say russia has faced a barrage of criticism this week for allegedly shipping arms to syria claims denied by moscow r.t. why smith looks into the hyped up report 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 and that is that. they were. going to get there through this information as usual 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 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 machine 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 its size in a. helicopter seven hundred fifty in syria from so good that. there was a concert very few of the bastille to be assembled. delivered a fifth 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 puts it 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 minister prime. it's all another attempt to exert pressure on russia the last fifteen months is being immediate in syria the crisis the syrian crisis is seventy percent to 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 so. there is no confirmed reports and. it 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 that latest battle of words. and you are with r t still ahead this hour u.s. and russian presidents meet in mexico for the first time since a bloody major putin's reelection. the two had to say about the syria deadlock and america's plans for missile defense in europe. and world leaders agree boosting growth these kids as they hope to escape the bailout from greece. i could always ambassador to the u.k. has flown home to hold talks on the fate of joint on 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 asylum claims that should he be deported to sweden he would subsequently be extradited to the u.s. and charged for his whistleblowing work. as 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 explain and a 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 see 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 those chilean astonished takes a breath eat 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 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 and songes fight has been a long one eighteen months of legal wrangling in the case resulted in the rejection of his supreme court's appeal against extradition to sweden 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 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 those who are seeing with the bradley manning case united states now has kangaroo courts rather than real course these on time founded concerns as

a long list of u.s. biggest openly. 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 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 governments freedom fighting in the twenty first century is a whole new ball game new rules you play is an 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. 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

rally will be julian assange himself so. london well join us on six asylum in ecuador his native australia has effectively shied away from involvement in his case sydney based journalist mary costa says it's a disgrace that authorities there have never even tried to protect the rights of one of their own citizens. for just i 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 australia has lost all moral authority to lift your 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 can has covertly handed over the people to the us and it oversaw the seekers to the cia those people were tortured and in the end. it was a case of mistaken identity so swings track record is not good a sound just place in a strange yet he needs to be back here. the man who will decide to join us on his fate president rafael correa is in fact of the most recent guest on the whistleblowers talk show which airs weekly right here on our to catch the next program on tuesday at eleven thirty g.m.t. and you can also watch all the previous episodes online at our t dot com and while you're there check out the other stories we've lined up for you as well. guy high and a visit to the china market two technological milestones one in the earth's orbit and another at the bottom of the money on a trench. and

a guinness world record has been set and russia's republic of your kuta has fifteen thousand people joining for the largest circle dance ever held in. both moscow and washington have stressed 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 was the for. this 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 plans for a missile shield in europe though leaders said dialogue will continue but russia says it still needs guarantees the system will not be aimed its way former member of the reagan administration paul craig roberts says american policy makers may not allow obama as much license as he once. 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 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 named the main goal with fears the

fallout from greece could lead to global contagion. the leaders of germany france italy and spain have agreed on a one hundred thirty billion euro package to safeguard the struggling euro meanwhile greece's newly formed a 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 sparked widespread protests financial strategist thomas q gessen says greece may have to leave the euro if the bailout deal is not renegotiate. so new democracy and pasok they only have the majority in parliament due to the peculiar greek election rules in fact more than fifty percent of forwards vent 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 to face stuff 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 more arrests have been taking place in jerusalem where hundreds of protesters gathered outside 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 guarani arry says the government is ignoring the demands of the people angered by 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 shockingly high shock to find 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 times 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 we're now if you've got 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 for you this hour. part of why he is facing further political isolation with more american countries recalling their ambassadors from the country that is where the 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 president fernando lugo was ousted from power by a senate vote on friday which he called a parliamentary coupe. and in neighboring bolivia a deal to end a police strike reached by the government and the police unions has been rejected by rank and file officers the army has been deployed to patrol the streets amid fears that the mutiny 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. un named u.s. unnamed u.s.

officials say that america was responsible for last month's massive cyber attack on iran the state of the art malware flame is said to have been created by america and israel to spy on and sabotage the islamic states nuclear progress parties got a chance you can 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 overall us ryan fashions we typically associate with more from 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 outer elec twenty 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 even but i mean that now security agency 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 some fear that the move almost invites retaliation 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 is just the beginning and the u.s. is preparing the battlefield for another time. i've 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 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 the area of opportunity you can 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 library act one might ask what kind of a message that they sent to the law like the government being with 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 are to. ensure they reap
