difficult we already had a good first leg result and they obviously played as if they didn't have anything to lose the most difficult thing in sports is when you defend something that you considered already won if you want i will congratulate both a little for the win at the santiago bernabeu for last week's when they won with conviction. the harder. it was stunning run in the euro league shows no signs of slowing down the twelve zero thanks to victory over turks f.a.'s here in the russian capital robert downey watch the action for us. what does it take to. today sysco wednesday's game show much more than the first lead by the two time n.b.a. champ then. the other man starts ahead of their first home game in the early ixtapa sixteen or just slowest eleven wins out of eleven games in the tournament

this season and the muscovites produced their victorious dozen in style in front of a cheering home crowd in fact it was only the first quarter which saw some tough competition on the court. but as soon as the host center and christie each star a dominating in the paint both scoring and rebounding the ominous lead began to grow. the turkish side was far from giving out that easy they were struggling and grabbing points well to scupper plate showing their class over and over again for eight three six but intermission. the game kept the same course in the second half here cisco storeman hundred go with a slam dunk and even when they are women missed. they still scored in the end. making like a team which hardly has

i i the polish people to march against the country signing up to a multinational web piracy pact. people fear that these documents will give corporations too much power to take regular users offline i'll explain why in just a few moments. violence flares in syria as a resolution to oust president assad lands on u.s. desks but moscow vows it won't let foreign forces into v. . and swapping hustings for house tags in russia's presidential race

viral videos and online campaigns of the new battle battleground. russia's nanotechnology corporation is looking for investors to join business our team twenty minutes for an exclusive interview with the company's head which is looking for ten percent to be sold this year. for moscow at nine pm you're watching our table welcome my name is kevin now in our top story key websites thousands of internet freedom supporters marched outside in a major two pronged protest in poland because the country's just signed up to a global web piracy pact covering everything from movies and music to fashion and pharmaceuticals but its net stretch is wide. more sort of explain it for us. well

this document called the courtesy trade agreement which has been signed by poland and many other countries other countries in fact including the united states. new zealand and others is the reason why tens of thousands of people are taking to the streets in poland is the reason why most of the governmental web sites in this country have been hijacked by the hacker groups including the anonymous group which is well known across the world basically this agreement is all about protecting the intellectual property including movies books pharmaceuticals designer clothes and things like that but ordinary people fear that the big corporations will use it to police the web to take regular users offline so we've seen lots of protests in poland as i mentioned in the last several days we are also seeing protests being held today in the cities of new berlin and in central poland we are expecting more protests tomorrow on friday more so the problem about this document is that it was

worked out in complete secrecy bypassing all governments and the general public had no access to it so that's why the regular users are afraid that this document would be used against them i'll just give you a simple example for instance you create a website and you put links to your favorite movies on this website and big corporations can in fact start a criminal case against you saying that you violate the agreement so nobody knows to what extent the corporations can go in using this document in fact misusing this document as the protesters here in poland and everywhere they protest against it certainly has some resemblance to the american soap bill which is also being discussed in the united states but the difference is that the bill is a more american local thing the act is definitely international and it will concern all countries which sign it in we are certainly in possibly for more protests across the european continent. well join me now is a member of germany's pirate party steven about who's written extensively about

actor steve a very good evening you call actor a war created by hollywood executives they put the money into making the movies so why shouldn't activists stop the stealing is when i put back to you. well at least actor it was written by a hollywood boss also that's true the problem with actor is they negotiated in secret and that it's built by by by industry and not by politicians this is really a problem with the whole democratic process. left out it's as i said made in secret and this is a main problem with actor on the other hand of course we as a party do not believe in two electoral property. so we have really crops with. loss and treaties which protect very little properties steffen up we'll talk about that in a minute i just wanted to talk first though about why actors seems to be kind of

under the radar a little bit i mean our correspondent in poland has seen the reaction there ok poland's reacting but of course it's not the only country that signed up to this why is actor not getting as much coverage throughout the rest of the world is this american anti-piracy bills are making all the headlines. we started with and tactic campaigns about two years ago in europe no one really listened to it the media did not cover it so no one cared about it and now when it's nearly too late as always people stand up and say oh no this is not ok and i think in germany for example or well at least in europe except poland no one really cares about it because it's very abstract and so open and people have been very good example. out of the internet how they would work we cannot do the same with. so we cannot visualize it and so it's very hard to do it compared for that. person individual

thing to american. international law where does this leave individual countries laws then on piracy and copyright infringement will with issues or national laws currently in place. as far as i get i turn all the other activists the treaty at least and force more intellectual property rights and force more to do than it actually the report. does want to that we do so generic and. you have new custom controls with actor so everything is more strict on the federal property rights and it defines property rights another way the trip's treaty which was. the international treaty of the united nations for their property i want to run something past you stephan that we were widely covering last week the week before and didn't think it

was going on with soap and i want to suggestion is that washington may be caved in quickly there on its anti-piracy bill because it's got acted to fall back on do you think that's the case. i think this is the case. so people. defend with the with the greater amount of human power many many hours on the net have been used to prepare everything and did not end of world war powers act the treaty is smart made by a party and it's made by racial groups and in some countries it needs to be ready fired by parliament but not in every country so we have another option open people are feared but actor is still an option for many many countries it's different there's a whole lot of five ten minutes we could talk about intellectual property rights except for except i did promise in a very we are actually out of time but thank you for your thoughts i'm sure we'll

get you about another interview about that again stefano about from a journalist pirate party thanks very much. iran is threatening to switch off its oil supplies to europe before the e.u. embargo comes into force in july parliament will discuss whether to make the move next week the e.u. decided to stop buying iranian oil in a bid to force to back into talks over its nuclear program to share in share fade from the campaign against sanctions and military intervention in iran he explained to me what message this move sends to europe. the grace period that the i had envisioned for six months for does go to take place may actually not be that graceful so iran is taking matters into his own hands another issue is that it shows the complex city of feeling in domestic politics and the power that the iranian parliament holds and that is accountable to its people and it's not going to just sit back and watch what's going to happen to the national sovereignty off of the wrong there near chose the disconnect between. his harlem and him people

because this is a model is not something which is going to be to the benefit of european people and there's also a disconnect between the european governments on their parliament as well i mean it's not the most ideal situation for iran because iran has to find different consumers for costumers where it's all about either at the same time iran is going to be to decrease this dependence on the petro dollar which is a very good thing in the lot longer and of course they remain middle class the small businesses who actually do business with your pin businesses there are going to suffer but that is the iran claims that that is for short term and in the long term this is actually going to lead to more independence for iran as a whole as a nation not just not just one part of the society which is investing in foreign businesses. syrian troops have stormed a heavily populated damascus suburb where government forces pulled out earlier this

week after clashes with opposition fighters the un security council could vote then in the next few days know about a resolution aimed at stemming the escalating conflict the draft calls on the syrian regime to comply with an arab league proposal for president assad to leave and pave the way for unity government russia has made it clear it will veto any u.n. resolution that allows foreign interventions or sanctions in syria itself the arab league's crucial monitoring missions resumed for the first time in a week because of the violence that's after the setback which saw six gulf nations pull out call on the u.n. to act r.t. syria first is there. saying that good bye and heading home they've said it's from the gulf states leave the airport then mission incomplete leaving behind a country in a deepening crisis is never going to be easy they want the arab league monitors to stay. i don't want right from the word go the missions prove problematic the opposition accused the monitors of being too closely aligned with the government

the government's now accused of being part of a foreign conspiracy and they will it just tickle complaints to the observer seemed ill equipped on the ground and there were concerns that they were simply too few numbers to undertake such a major task but if things were bad at the beginning now they seem even worse following in saudi arabia's footsteps all the gulf states withdrew their observers after damascus rejected their recent proposal that included president assad cede power to a deputy and form a unity government was interesting that this conference is very interested in democracy and they have nothing and this is the most interesting this is something pani will talk about about what will have a new constitution and we are going to more democratic country multi parties was about what about to do about the west come up talk about syria which would be

changed and leave saudi arabia as it has damascus is rejection was no surprise those sides of the conflict of shame equal unwillingness to soften their stance even when the daily death toll in the country continually rising the killing of the head of the syrian arab red crescent was on the road to damascus yet another remind the spiraling situation. of the observers at such a creature may vinton the country's crisis is seen as controversial the arab league essentially has no credible. on the arab street what the arab league mission is trying to accomplish is good enough everything is concrete everything about human rights abuses on the part of the also very seem to think so the u.n. and the evidence will be so strong that even russia and china will feel compelled to work but as of now one month after this mission started they seem to know the monitors things and i know more about what's going on the ground and they did. at

the beginning and so it all looks like it will be going back to square one as the death toll rises the proposal being floated to increase the number of observers on the ground and provide them with u.n. training could be a life saving would but for now those plans have been pissed on hold in fact much of the substance of the report that they agreed to pieces on both sides seems to have been lost in the flurry of diplomatic activity now france and britain have joined forces at the united nations to try to end president assad's rule waving goodbye to that gulf state colleagues some observers remain but it's small consolation syria didn't close the doors in for the arab league i think. it's diplomacy will give anyone to help the syrian but the last decision in the hands of the syrian people not in the hands not of bleakness could come soon so national dialogue through these reforms despite damascus and the mission to be extended for

another month and the observers officially saying that they can continue with the task behind the scenes and the sentiment is much less optimistic. it's a gloomy outlook for the country with little regional or international agreement on what action should be taken to stop the violence and putting an end to the crisis seem to be slipping further and further as a very. artsy damascus syria on the way to boston first is the crisis. political and economic. leaders meet here at the world economic forum to tackle the eurozone crisis and also the arab spring meanwhile those who protested activists that want their voices heard remain locked out. next though the top job of the world's largest countries are hardly prize positions of beating the other contenders require some creative thinking those up for the russian president so using every avenue available to get their message out there. was but looking at the campaign as

a vote of truck to talk to. those who are doesn't want is that you were right is that was that it was very soon some time and slogans called out from the poor d m r the traditional election season fair but they're no longer considered police involved. today's complaining has gone online in a whole new trend in russia. with programming and bloggers making fun of the opposition portraying them in prayer outside the u.s. embassy on sundays claiming they are connected to the us state department and the opposition filming funny cartoons about politicians made out of lego. getting information out there is becoming easier all the time but the internet is a very different medium to television while on t.v. it's enough to just look into the camera like this to viewers' attention not so on

the net to me you are police video reach millions of lines it's not just mass it also has to be provoked to brazen and sometimes project a whole different image. it's no surprise then that as a character from harry potter became an overnight hit it's an industry doing this you will. see what i see you stuck with something yes that got it but good though. make. sure that the quickest when you're talking about when you. put up a gun there but it will just be them. but i don't compete it's up to you apart from catching images memorable catch phrases are used against those in the corridors of power opposition blogger alex in the valley was the first upload his shot which is tongues online a year ago he labeled the ruling united russia party the leaves and scoundrels the

insulting phrase it first appeared on the net but quickly migrated to almost every magical media in russia and beyond a year after the party won in the parliamentary elections and reworked the catchphrase felicity's of one vote for the party of fees and scoundrels for ten years of economic growth whether the party of these in scoundrels united russia. the mastermind behind that video and state duma deputy rubber chillag proved his party can also fight its wars online broke out super powers the use of being with my aim is to provoke to preen reality darker than that is often i don't agree with such statements in my videos but they do work and i see these putin and russia without putin would rise why not give away your country your beautiful girlfriend to some foreign guys what will happen to the caucasus nothing less just give.
