Good Evening Mr.Williams, a great broadcast this Monday evening and always wonderful to see Richard on the broadcast. Certainly a very important election on Egypt and now the results are causing much concern for Egypt and the Middle East.

First of all Richard's report from Cairo about the Egyptian Presidential Elections and how the Muslim Brotherhood was the winner with the Candidate Mohamed Morsi. The Muslim Brotherhood wanting to bring about fundamental changes to Egypt is now being welcomed by all Egyptians. They want to enforce Islamic Law, limit the rights of women, they are anti-Israel and anti-American. The Military Counsel wants to eliminate control of the current leaders and will battle for power with the Muslim Brotherhood. One tor operator believes this election sets back the region 100 or 200 years. This could spread througout the Middle East and is troublesome to many citizens of the region. A mass demonstration being planned by the Muslim Brotherhood tomorrow and a tough early start for the new President Mohamed Morsi. Time will tell.

The report by Stephanie Gosk from Athens told of how Greece avoided economic collapse for the moment by remaining with the Euro. After weeks of uncertainty over the future is safe for now and avoided a collapse. Seventeen other nations use the Euro and some do need financial bailouts such as Spain which needs ot borrow money, but at a high cost. Growth is vital to all the nations staying afloat and hopefully things will take a turn for the better.

The report by Mr.Todd from Los Cabos, Mexico regarding the G-20 Summit told of tensions between President Obama and President Putin especially on the issue of the violence in Syria. As President Obama stated they both agreed the violence needs to cease and a political process has to be created to stop this continued violence. Also, the focus on the debt crisis in Greece and looking at the situation with cautious optimism. Many hurdles to climb before any progress can be made on these issues.

Happy 70th Birthday to Paul McCartney!

The piece by Kristen Dahlgren about the 13yr old chef Flynn McGarry showed an incredibly talented young man in the kitchen. He really has a bright future in the culinary field and will probably own a five star restaurant someday. Nice piece!

Thank You for the broadcast Mr.Williams. Peace to You and to All!

Be Well Everyone!

Stay Extra,Extra Safe and Well Richard! Excellent Reporting as Always!

Take Extra,Extra Good Care Richard and Crew!

    Brian, Was Vodka served before dinner to ease the tension between President Obama and Russia's President Putin?

    Whatever, now Putin says Russia, US have found "common points" on Syria and will continue their discussions. Obama says he and Putin share approach to resolving Iran's nuclear standoff, says there is still time for a

    solution. Breaking news is good news. Have a nice evening.

      PS Brian, There is a book entitled "The Plot Against America and I believe the author is Philip Roth. Anyway,

      I have always been convinced there is a plot to weaken the presidency. And now I think I know why. It

      is because the US is the New Jerusalem. In 70 CE, Jerusalem was sacked and the result was the end of

      the Jewish Economy or vice versa. Hence, The coming Economic Armageddon predicted by Bible Scholars. Phyllis
