i didn't expect that makes the way brief or a coach before the the world cup before the european cup. it's difficult being with go know themselves what they want to be able to for another word in english before there was an english and that was good so it's like a formal english for the english so i hope that they will do well it's going to be tougher of course also for them but he's going links with the head coach job without gene i mean look you recommend him and i are going no i don't know and you already had a coach there into expensive make an hour so no i don't know or you know or the russian competition is good most teams are in moscow and she's also in moscow although they play in the distance. i don't know who's going to be closer to me. what you could you recommend by training russians it's a big hard call to most people expect it is a high quality very much make sure you fly with the flights. because you know that

was from the good dish you know the flying was. and the type of airplanes you fly with we know what happened with ice hockey teams are for good reason but the competition is stronger and you see a lot more of the world than you would ever see that it was a great experience for me. in other football news there was a dramatic conclusion to this year's africa cup of nations under that sound the overwhelming favorite say ivory coast not the minutes of play plus extra times in final whenever as it turned out the big alistair shootout finished seventh in favor sound that have because absent a day job i did had the chance to win the title for his team but he missed a penalty in normal time and some best just had a pick up the nation's top. speeds from fully meal i don't think we were the best but we were animated by the force in this tournament which made the difference and we had luck and i think this luck lost the whole african nation. so we're going to make sure that booster ration of lewis has missed out on

william because before immediately lost on penalties notes and penalties again we have expected a lot from these players but i think now we'll go back to our john will take a look at everything and decisions got through that we need some new blood. with me to our football across europe is being hazed by extreme weather and heavy snow for not least in syria where they grew by the football stadium collapse under the weight of snow the west stand there isn't our football club suffered the most damage luckily nobody was inside at the time as the country's football season doesn't start to notch though no injuries reported but the coast of repairing the damage is expected to be high. over to tennis now where rush is davis cup team will face a relegation play following the defeat to australia the surprise last mean means the austrian team is through to the quarterfinals for the first time in seventeen

years what trailing two one going into the final dayton washing knew they couldn't afford to lose any of sunday's brothers first up was alex to them all junior the failed to make a good start on his days career with russia who went down in straight sets to get most of it you can eat since the straight sets victory of one hundred head america was austria won the tied three two and will face paint the next part. when i saw russia had lost their final match at the swedish games their third stage of the year haka to sensible boudin as men went down to the czech republic falling on the ground it all the competition it was sweden has won the tournament as the hosts meets reigning world champions finland three one the swedes are now short of the overall spending spree one moment left. well russian mixed martial arts fight some of us alive has defeated this seven time digits

a champion corners apart in moscow this weekend the fight was one of ten and to kick off the inaugural verdict m.m.a. fighting championship michael chang was ringside. splitting the evening's ten fights into two the main event certainly set up everything he could in the build up to live entry into the ring was baffling as it was astounding with girls dressed in traditional to stand gowns flanking him from left and right as the good news about the looked on indeed the almost over the top presentation was in line with the lives of the claim to fame he's one of the official ambassadors for the two thousand and thirteen one of this yard games to be held in the sun the crowd was in the mood for a good fight having seen blood hit the canvas in the early abouts but despite such a fantastic match up the fight flattered to deceive the two opponents in the first minute of the fight tousling it out on the arena floor before most alive dispatched

a couple of left footed kicks to support his side the menacing pole grimaced and after the medics examined him deemed him no longer fights worthy ju-ju a broken rib but it seems that was news ally as game plan all along which will mean you don't ask why i'm not kicking you tell no i replied i can fight two rounds with this guy he's a really serious opponent i have to break something where i won't get anything out of the fight but the manner in which the fight and they didn't put a damper on was the live celebrations calling out anyone who wished to challenge him. there were a host of other bouts during the mixed martial arts extravaganza with fighters from all over the world competing tonight's event is undoubtedly a display of real power and aggression so it's a little bit strange to see women entering the ring the cage behind me. indeed the night entertainment included an all female bout but there wasn't much to see as young who needs disposed of opponents within minutes of the first round when asked

where the more women should participate younus position was interesting. i actually prefer fewer women in the sport i'd prefer it to be just me among all these men the remaining fights were contrast of quick victories and slow tiresome wrestling duels and although the main event was over before it had really begun the crowd's approval of the night was resoundingly michael r.t. moscow. but finally golf worth phil mickelson overturned six short deficits away in the pebble beach national in california he's now ninth on the all time list of career wins with fourteen titles to his name that's a flawless one in round four of eight under sixty four after the second and fourth they steamed short at the fifth perfect set up another birdie because some was well on his way to winning their one point one million dollars first prize tiger woods was well poised going into the final round but three straight days and did his

hopes of victory despite that lovely park closer for a birdie on the twelfth would finish natural to the face of not leader south korea's charter which finished on fifteen under two shots behind to eventual winner at mickelson who's is isn't getting carried away with his achievement. the. it's cool i mean it's really cool don't get me wrong i mean but whatever when number it was and wherever it puts it all time list it was a meeting when for me because of where it's a place and the fact that i haven't i haven't played as well as i would like these last few months i knew i was close but i wasn't getting the results and this just gives me a big boost of confidence that the things that that i've been working on are our pain are. ok up to date no more sports news from around the globe so i was time have not say whether is next.

markets both in the black with my six getting the bulls and five rigs running for detail look at the figures. it's seven pm here in moscow you're watching r.t.l. many sonali with our top story this hour is the other prime minister binyamin netanyahu has blamed the wrong for attacks on its diplomatic staff in the indian and georgian capitals four people have reportedly been injured in a car bomb blast in new delhi while in tbilisi the device was discovered before it went off or she's tests are zillion now joins us from the newsroom she is also following this developing story for us this evening so what exactly happened in these incidents today take us through it and also are we hearing anything about what has prompted claims that iran is responsible. well the details are still

trickling in the latest count is that four reportedly injured in the new delhi blast and among those reportedly was the is the wife of a diplomat an israeli diplomat as well as her driver but all of these all of what has happened is still based on witness reports because investigations are still going on the one it's a glee see it was diffused before the bomb had actually gone off now more details coming in now from new delhi as we did officials give us a bit more details are some eyewitnesses say that a motorcycle was actually following the diplomat's current through something on it and that it eventually exploded another man had said that he had seen a man and a woman being pulled out of the car of israeli foreign ministry does not want to reveal the identities of those injured if they are part of the embassy staff because they're saying it's a security matter nor do they want to talk about the extent of the injuries now on the diplomatic side prime minister binyamin netanyahu have been very quick to condemn iran these attacks to blame iran for these as well as hezbollah now he said

this in front of lawmakers and he says that he had also. has also for the past attempts attacks is really officials or embassies now this is of course coming on the back of your run in the past having blamed israel for a number of killings of officials as well as scientists involved in its controversial nuclear program but it does have to be said that the prime minister netanyahu statements are coming ahead of statements that india would have made for example or georgia would have made it now this this is certainly a tit for tat if you're looking at it in the grand scheme of things tensions internationally is escalating iran. time and time and have had said that the sanctions against iran does not work it is willing to bring the level of intensity on iran to a military level now of course this incident such as a car bomb attack such as this would be scrutinized with a backdrop of that international on the international stage attention rising and

definitely the implications will be studied for the parties involved directly or indirectly. following this developing story for us here in our to you thank you for that. but still ahead this hour with last month a months to go until russia's presidential election prime minister putin says latest campaign article highlights one of the toughest task facing the country's future find out what it is shortly. but the summer games in london risk being marred by a controversial sponsorship deal with a chemical giant linked to one of the world's worst industrial design services. first the latest on syria russia says it will study an arab league proposal for a joint arab u.n. peacekeeping mission in syria but foreign minister sergei lavrov says that a cease fire should be achieved before any mission of this kind could be deployed arty sarraf earth has the latest. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov was

meeting today with his you're a counterpart they were discussing the ongoing situation in syria over the weekend of course the arab league called for a need joint u.n. peacekeeping mission to enter the country now the first minister responded today schools by saying the russians would consider that proposal but the evidence haitian that would come with a number of conditions. first would you deploy a peacekeeping mission we need the agreement of the host secondly there should first be peace which the peacekeeping mission will then help sustain you know the words there should be a kind of cease fire agreement but the trouble is that armed groups for you with the regime's forces cannot listen to anyone or not control anyone that one of the crucial points tonight and what the foreign minister had said was that damascus would have to agree to that plan and the arab league proposal was rejected by it and asked he called it see one side is simply backing the opposition not taking

into account all sides of course we've seen damascus very very wary about the u.n. being used in this way and indeed russia as well as the u.s. being used as a tool for regime change rather than pushing for an end to the violence is what russians are from the very beginning very clear about any proposal should be taking to account all the sides are not simply part of the opposition today the foreign minister calling on the opposition he's very clear to have to look with the president to at least continue dialogue with the government with the vice president now we actually had today from the visiting u.a.e. foreign minister was paired leaping very clear that they're going to back the opposition financially and politically he said that at the moment there are plans to back the opposition militarily but of course there are already reports that countries like i have in the already started arming the opposite. within the

country that's causing a lot of concerns of course we see the situation growing increasingly violent as members of the opposition and different factions of the opposition how become increasingly are now over the weekend we had al qaeda publicly backing the opposition and that's really fueling fears that the situation in the country that maybe is really great for the variance of terrorist groups. but them's corbet independent journalists and specialists on the mideast says the peacekeeping initiative for syria put forward by the arab league this would be hijacked by powers interested change even the disgrace for conduct of un peacekeepers everywhere from haiti to ivory coast of the congo and many other countries besides i think the syrian people should certainly hope that peacekeeping mission doesn't come about and i think one would have to see it really as as nothing more than a boy two to involve the united nations in you know what is essentially at this point a civil war and and once the situation spun out of control once it probably inevitably

would given me the peacekeeping mandate of a force that would have the ability to defend itself in the face of it by once the only sensible option at that point would be to send in foreign troops which i think is the really the in game and game it's going on in a strategy in a first class this is once again a very much a copycat of the libyan situation that we saw last year with confirmed x. you know fighters being part of the libyan opposition that the u.s. was openly supporting or the one would certainly hope that some enterprising u.s. citizen would take the department of homeland security up on there of some something say something campaign and actually report to the u.s. administration for their material support for terrorist organizations perhaps some of the u.s. officials who have been material least according to terrorist organizations in the syrian opposition could be thrown behind bars for the. u.s. says it's just a matter of time before the syrian government collapses while the pentagon says it's weighing up theoretical military action although russia and china are adamant

they won't allow foreign intervention in syria via the u.n. history shows washington may find a way to bypass diplomatic their ears to push its agenda through or it is going to teach you can explain. what mandate having failed to reach international consensus on syria it's been a complete waste of time watching complete pairs to act around the u. way for the time being the administration firmly rules out any form of u.s. military intervention in syria but the pentagon is busy filling out an attack strategy on syria just think case should the president call for action experts say history shows the absence of international consensus would not be an obstacle to washington if it decides to go ahead with intervention the united states sees the u.n. as a tool of convenience of the u.n. is supple in going along with the united states then the united states is fine to have a u.n. sanction for its actions but when the u.n.

and the people of the world or the countries of the world resist then the united states says the u.n. is unwilling to do its job and then uses other instruments like nato or other military arrangements they did that in the case of yugoslavia they did it in the case of the iraq war whenever the u.n. doesn't go along the u.s. then says well to heck with you one will use some other instrument for the exercise of american power last year the u.n. security council authorizes new to protect civilians in libya but the mission resulted in regime change the libyan authorization of force was very specific and it didn't authorize regime change in the countries that took an operation clune actually it's for exceeded the u.n. mandate and there are provisions i think that symbolic of the fact that these will be that these u.n. mandates really aren't meaningful in terms of international law and that's just the reality of it. nato countries have flooded lead rebels with weapons despite a un arms embargo us government wants to you one but they want the un to do the us

bidding wave the united states uses the united nations in regard to the israeli palestinian question is very emblematic when the united nations passed resolutions which it has done repeatedly demanding that the israelis get out of the west bank and earlier gaza and earlier the sinai the united states didn't enforce those resolutions they didn't demand that they be enforced when it came to the united nations saying the palestinians have a right to be recognized state the united states acted as if there was a crime against humanity that the united nations their take on the issue of palestinian rights we can see here a manipulation of the united nations when it does what the united states wants fine but when it stands with the palestinian people which it has repeatedly over and over again then the united states government republican or democrat found a way to condemn the united nations. the u.s. also did not support the resolution on syria put forward by russia which would call

for all sides in the conflict to stop the violence and to start a dialogue instead he chose to take sides in a civil war. one might describe the u.s. that's what you towards the u.n. as use it if needed go around it if you don't like it but while an all work hard approach to the world body might suit washington it makes for a bad recipe for world stability i'm going to check our reporting from washington archly. but to give journalists the mideast specialists are so when stanley told r.t. that the syrian opposition is very fragmented and so there's no unity between groups over the means of fighting the regime here's a quick taste of an interview coming your way next hour. ok so is there no differences in. military intervention essentially in political differences there is different trends in the syrian opposition and mainly between people who support outside intervention and the protesters don't so you've got groups like the syrian

national council which are now openly in favor of a no fly zone which to me seems ridiculous because you know there isn't any even claim that i know of. the syrian regime for all its many crimes there's no claims that it's problems people so no fly zone just see the political pretext to invade to me. buildings on fire shots looted and dozens injured this is how the greek public met a new round of drastic cuts approved by their parliament tens of thousands of people protested the deeply unpopular package needed to get a second bailout from international creditors or to use jacob greaves is in athens . based on those pictures as events that took place last night really getting a sense here that the government the greek government is under attack from all sides now you've got the euro zone international monetary fund really increasing the pressure saying the cuts haven't gone far enough and they have been implemented

correctly also we saw taking place last night we have the demonstrators now really seeing in very large numbers up to one hundred thousand people in attendance and they're growing in anger throughout the course of that evening in the end we saw clashes taking place with police and that resulted in a certain amount of violence or petrol bombs being thrown at police by some anarchists in the crowds also of police or tally a seeing by firing tear gas into the crowd there is also in total in dozens of injuries we also saw dozens of buildings of flame all of this of course taking place in central athens now there is a lot of discontent as well within harlem and we saw that take place last night a number of m.p.'s forty three from the ruling coalition made up of socialists who served his they rebelled against this latest measure of was there if he cuts now

what we're talking about here really is fifteen thousand job cuts in the public sector also that's going to be accompanied by slashing by twenty percent of the minimum wage and cuts the pensions three those who are being affected are those who are probably most exposed by these crisis conditions have to bear in mind this is something that greece is really where the for some time it's a situation they are all too familiar with and have us there to be measures for a number of years impose them by international bodies and there hasn't been that many positive financial indicators since we seem g.d.p. slumping in two thousand and eleven so the main message coming from the demonstration taking place yes they said and the protests this is the. what price are they expected to pay for these. germany's finance ministers declare their promises are and nothing more saying that greece must now implement reforms to prove it's not a bottomless pit. of the institute of democracy and cooperation in paris says there

are more radical clients currently being drawn up by the germans there is one theory and i lend some credence to it that the germans who are calling the shots on this do indeed want to force greece out of the euro there is a lot of bad feeling towards greeks by germans by germany and vice versa and there is a theory that certain leading german polish politicians want to love the boil and get rid of greece if that is the calculation in other words to force greece to leave the euro if that is the calculation i fear that it's a mistake because the problem in the eurozone is not a greek problem it is a structural problem in the eurozone these debt problems which various countries are suffering from including of course italy but also portugal spain and these problems are the inevitable consequence of the way the euro is structured they are the inevitable consequence of it and the measures which are being required of these

countries to as it were remedy the situation are only making things worse so even if greece were to be forced out of the euro my prediction is that the markets would then realize that the eurozone is not impregnable and would turn their attention to other countries as well whose position is very similar in particular political. but she's crosstalk is also focusing on greece's financial predicament coming your way in less than fifteen minutes the hidden cost of the bailout rescue. changes clear in germany you give me the cash to survive given my debt problem and i'll give you my sovereignty but will the public actually comply will they agree to accept the pain of this austerity and will they agree to submit the most important sovereign aspect which is your fiscal your budget to technocrats in brussels that are not answerable to your population through.
