if you knew. from stupid. stunts on t.v. don't. today's headlines and a roundup of the league's top stories egypt celebrates as the muslim brotherhood mohamed morsi has named it the country's new leader house. square as the country celebrates the first part of the current. set of the details in just a few months and. turkey calls it an emergency nato meeting to discuss how to respond after syria shot down one of its fighter jets says the plane could have strayed into syrian airspace while on a training flight. with the leaks editor and the world's top whistleblower julian assange awaits ecuador's decision on his bid for political asylum.

broadcasting the week's top stories this is r t straight from moscow i'm sean thomas get right to it muslim brotherhoods and 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 party's policy here 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 and where 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 behind it mosi 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 most expansive 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 power was on he would 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 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 like a sadist sadik 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 it. this election was what if we could buy for you if you feudal system you would vote for both if you feel most see your bullshit feat i now do is i think to focus it if you will on the source in the course of future women how to ski you know

christians are skewed a lot of people are very worried about the future some i think it becomes and the obituary of eason egypt is going to give the dog a just on the mood of comic 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 important policy he sent me an assurance is that they're not good states is leading you to a you know that it's probably going to do what you need we should church the spring is basically a fine thing you turn a good option 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 on current cysts 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 head the wreckage of a plane has been located in the mediterranean but the two pilots are still unaccounted for and while syrian state t.v. reports the country's border guards have stopped the 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 a ship back supposedly carrying helicopters from 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 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 can either be passed off on apologies that 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 are saying russia has faced a barrage of criticism this week for allegedly shipping arms to syria claims denied

by moscow artie's last minute 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 me diogo ships on new ships that's been the question for the past week as reports are since it was on its way to see 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 usual like they did before the war

and before. intervening in afghanistan in the late seventy's also. this information there was one say it was turned back off the coast of scotland. 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 he indeed was carrying 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 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 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 made. in syria the crisis to syrian crisis is seventy percent of media

so two percent on the ground so there is a quarter of stories every day. like for some model of stations. using you tube so. there is no. it said the first casualty of war is the truth and international rumor mongering jockeying for position comes at the expense of the syrian people the situation doesn't change regardless of which country one. you are with r t still had the sour u.s. and russian presidents meet in mexico for the first time since. we looked at what the two had to say about the syrian. plans for missile defense in europe. and world leaders agree boosting growth is key as they hope to escape the fallout from greece. to the u.k.

has flown home to hold talks on the fate of julian assange on tuesday the week of leaks editor 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 then be extradited to the u.s. and charged for his whistleblowing work. 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 exponents of freedom of speech no charges of ever being bought it gets julian assange yet he's 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 in a cell and takes it away from the height and his supporters say that this is a dark a tale of a man he's 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 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 once julian 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 toll and it will be a stacked against as we're seeing with the bradley manning case united states now has kangaroo courts rather than we'll of course these on time found it concerns as a long list of u.s. biggest he. openly calls 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 your merican british government's 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 rally will be julian assange himself served. london well joining us in ecuador his native australia has effectively shied away from an volved meant in this case sony based journalist mary cost to keep us says it's a disgrace that authorities there have never even tried to protect the rights of one of their own citizens. before you say 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 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 fact is 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 sweden has covertly handed over people to the us handed over asylum 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 has a place in a strain yet he needs to be back here. the man who will decide to. quit or end 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 of the previous episodes online at r.t. dot com and while you're there also check out the other stories we've got lined up for you as well. as sky high and a vis the china marks two technological milestone one in the earth's orbit and another at the bottom of the marianna trench. and get this world record has been set in russia's republican as fifteen thousand people join for the largest circle dance ever how. both moscow and washington have stressed event of 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 they also called on the iran to follow u.n. resolutions and cooperate with the international atomic watchdog to prove its

nuclear program is entirely peaceful however there seems to be a 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 regen administration paul roberts says american policy makers may not allow obama as much license as he would like. convinced that. it does not will conflict 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 really care to get along

with britain but he still has to represent the agenda. world agent to mean and regime change and so the situation. is on resolves the state of the euro zone finance is a was the main worry for world's leaders in mexico this past week boosting growth has been named their 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 currency jesus' 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 sparked widespread protests financial strategist thomas to gessen ses greece may have to leave the euro if the bailout deal is not really negotiated. he's been here democracy and pasok they only have the majority in

parliament due to the peculiar greek election rules in fact more than fifty percent of faults went to e.u. critical parties none of the two clocks in the greek parliamentary election had a credible plan for turning the greek economy around from its current meltdown with a risk of a greek exit from the euro remains high either there will be a renegotiation off the treaty or reese will 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 leave that to fester for too long it won't be a deliberated 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 israel as hundreds of protesters gathered

outside the prime minister's residence in jerusalem it comes after demonstrations in tel aviv on saturday when at least eighty five activists were arrested to during clashes with police journalist and writer. says the government is ignoring the demands of the people angered by the escalating costs 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 socked with mind though. 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 show 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 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 for yourself. part of why is facing further political isolation with more latin american countries recalling their ambassadors from the country as well went as far as declaring it is ending oil exports to paraguay 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 it may bring

a bolivia deal to end if we 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 arrest began on thursday when dozens of officers seized and units had poured . close to the presidential palace demanding a pay rise. tunisian authorities have extradited the former libyan prime minister. 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 the libyan people experts believe it may create a precedent for other countries holding a fish bowls who work for khadafy. 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 islamic states nuclear progress and he's

going to check out his commentary on the story. 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 cover washing 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 that 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 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 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 cyberspace as a whole is now seen by the u.s. military as the basque area of opportunity you can't really tell the government don't get why there's what you don't want that to you but a lot of the recent revelations about the us being a state library act one might ask what kind of a message that is thanks to the law by the government beeman for 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 later on artie's cross talk peter lavelle and his guests debate the future of the euro but first back in a few minutes with the latest headlines. they've
