broadcasting live direct from our studios in central moscow bringing you a recap of the week's top stories this is r.t. with the weekly the muslim brotherhood's 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. is in tahrir 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 next 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 in prayer there's this constant explosion of fire words on the streets leading

to tell his square are completely jam packed and they too the cars are hunkering their horns as they drive up and down behind it mostly has 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 tanto we 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 indeed at this stage it looks as if mostly hands will be tired and this is not the duty of the poll 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 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 the 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 or does policy report for us there now dr saeed sadik 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. this election was defeated by fear if you if you don't like system you would vote phobos it if you feel most see your bullshit feet i now do is i think to fulfill the seat

if you will on the source and the close of the ship that would mean to scare you that christians are skewed a lot of people who are very worried about the future sometime i think if you can and don't be too easy that egypt is going to get the ok just on those who are of common 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 be any major changes in foreign policy he sent me an assurance is that they're not good states is leading you to a you know that that is looking to do what you need be sure chips the ups think it's easy to be finding what you think of production and book we'll see if the stock up on foreign policy. 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 and 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 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 in syria but 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 got was from from around the coast of britain back to back to russia and now we see this incursion into the 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 alone aligned on the same side but it seems to me that recently wreckage has been found within syrian waters but the trouble with here is that this 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've made out of it we all know that such incidents can either be passed off on apologies like go back to normal or they can be made of course bell i can tell you a moment 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 but that's what will stick russia has faced a barrage of criticism this week for allegedly shipping arms to syria claims denied by moscow last method looked into their 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 me diogo 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 would know when mysteria 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 will. get there through this information. 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 found to be carrying helicopter parts bound for 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 signs of a. good. deal in syria from so if. there was a conflict very few of them they're still to be assembled to. deliver a symbol to 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 putin's 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 made. in syria the crisis to syrian crisis is seventy percent to me so two percent on the ground so there's a quite a lot of stories every day. like for some model of stations by just using you tube so. there is no reports. 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. when you are with r t still ahead this hour u.s. and russian presidents made in mexico for the first time since vladimir putin's reelection. look at what the two had to say about the syrian and america's plans

for missile defense in europe. and all that leaders agree boosting growth is key as they hope to escape with the fallout from groups. i go to as ambassador to the u.k. has flown home to hold talks on the fate of julian assange 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 then be extradited to the u.s. and charged for his whistleblowing work r.t. surfer 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 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 ever being both against 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 has once again called the eyes of the world's media behind the ecuadorian embassy those julian assange takes recchi it away from the hype 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 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 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. facing very serious charge probably life in prison if not the death toll and it will be a stacked against as we're seeing with the bradley manning case united states now has kangaroo records rather than we'll of course these on time founded concerns as a long list of u.s. biggest. openly calls 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 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 freedom fighting in the twenty first century is a whole new ball game with new rules you play as 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 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. himself serves. london with you exactly mr clarke stokely will use. his best option because extradition to the u.s. would be inevitable should he be made to go to sweden. we're not so worried about

him going to sweden actually that's 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 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. the man who will decide to join us on his fate an ecuadorian president rafael correa is in fact the most recent guest on the whistleblowers talk show which airs weekly here on our t.v.

catch the next program on tuesday at eleven thirty g.m.t. and if you can also watch all of the previous episode the online at r t dot com and while you're there check out the other stories we've lined up for you as well. sky high on the busy trying to march to technological milestones one in the earth's orbit and the other at the bottom of the mariana trench. and a guinness world record has been set in russia the republican electorate here at 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 was the first time the two have met as heads of state and also called on iran for follow u.n. resolutions and cooperate with the international atomic nuclear watchdog to make sure that their program is 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 says it still needs guarantees the system will not be aimed its way former member of the regular administration apart that roberts says american policy makers it may not allow obama as much license as he would like. to dance that. does not war conflicts with washington he wants to resolve the issue of the missile bases that are surrounding russia he doesn't want conflict and obama. he doesn't really care either but he is just one member government that wants regime change if syria 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 putin but he still has to represent the agenda. world

original me and regime change and so the situation. isn't resolved and the state of the eurozone finance is that 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 their 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 coalition is asking for an additional two years to slash its deficit athens is hoping to avoid having a further drastic cuts to salaries and pensions which have caused countless protests political risk consultant john hulsman says whatever greece does the calm before the next offer won't last. fall though 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 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 israel as hundreds of protesters gathered outside the prime minister's residence in jerusalem it comes after demonstrations in tel aviv on

saturday when i least eighty five activists were arrested during clashes with police journalist and writer on the area say 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 are shocked with my bill. so i think that 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. out 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've got maybe a million or two million marching back it seems 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 this. part of why is facing further political isolation with more latin 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 president fernando lugo was ousted from power by a senate vote on friday which he is calling 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 in elite units headquarters close to the presidential palace demanding a pay rise. tunisian authorities have extra. added excuse me the former libyan prime minister mahmoud making him the first high ranking official to be returned to his home country to face trial the sixty seven year old is now in custody facing charges of crimes against of the libyan people experts believe it may create a precedent for other countries holding officials who work for gadhafi. and that name but 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 islamic states nuclear progress or he's got a can comments. 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 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 outer 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 even but i mean that now security agency has and 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 uncovered the flame virus says part of its code is nearly identical to the code found in 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. 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 track to 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 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 or 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 in light of the recent revelations about the u.s. based fiber one might ask what are the message that he sent to the world like the government being with the dems library. hackers and all but it felt like one hell of a hacker i'm going to check out reporting from washington. and charlie are two takes a look at the media coverage of syria and what's next for a country torn by conflict but first i backed up to you with headlines.
