turns have claimed second successive victory but beating italy for one and power themselves into the final because they put up of has all the details for you now. russia started then counter with italy cautiously keeping in mind eleven goals that squadron zero netted in the semifinal against spain but the talons decided to play their trademark style thinking defense first and it took six minutes for the reigning champions to draw first blood and don't go out in cross form a corner and alex a marker for the ball home putting the russians in front and in the dying seconds of the first period russia's goalkeeper under a book lead ski with a powerful shot doubled the lead scoring the tournament's throws the goal way keeper in the second my car of nearly the one morning telling his fourth goal so for the talents then cut the deficit to two goals but he got to shake off seal the final score for one. hole italian national teams play defensively no matter which

kind of football it is their own soul the defendant and talent on counter-attacks and why we got the lead they failed to switch to a more taken style and you've got it in your unit we're just a better team we're not surprised that italy continued to play on counter-attacks even when they were trailing it's their style and we played well tactically and didn't let them come from behind. us meanwhile the other semifinal turned out to be a cracker as hard favorite sport to go and switzerland took to the sand beach the portuguese are one of the most successful teams in europe with six continental titles and produced an electric start with four goals in the opener this week reached the semifinal when their own and rumania field to arrive on time and then day off affected them however switzerland managed to get back into the game and reduced portugal its lead to just a goal in the third but that was all they could do seven six and portugal powered

. clear to me. all roads lead to tehran as the syrian crisis deepens and the violence intensifies concern that grows it that if the assad regime falls it's a key ally iran would be left isolated and forced into a more aggressive position. love it has rejected a proposal to make russian its second official language the country's a russian a community which makes up the third of the population initiated the referendum to draw attention to what they call decades of that discrimination. as euro zone nation struggle to get to grips with their financial troubles the idea of

a united europe is losing ground at some schools in the bloc are accused of brainwashing pupils into believing that the union is still going strong. and i'm broadcasting live direct from our studios in central moscow this is r t i'm john thomas good to have you with us with syria becoming further engulfed by conflict one of its key allies in the region iran is also feeling the strain experts warn the young rest could cross borders and impact the middle east as a whole analysts are concerned that the collapse of the assad regime would be a devastating blow to iran leaving it isolated and potentially forcing tehran to adopt more aggressive policies artie's laura smith has more. iran's military is put through its paces but how long will this carry on being

a drill as the conflict in syria gets bloodier by the day western powers range against president assad ally iran the strategic position looks increasingly shaky which some suggest is no coincidence that there is a proxy conflict between israel and its western allies and iran which basically only has one ally in the region which is the syrian republic so if you can get syria away from iran either through a diplomatic deal which they're trying for many years all through regime change which seems to be the direction of travel now that would definitely weaken iran at all roads in the middle east right now do seem to lead back to tehran experts are calling the last thing deployed and coca bring down throw in radian asset and replace it with opposition figures we've already said they did talk to nancy tehran on foreign policy to lie the nuclear iran is most powerful ally since the iran

iraq war iran and syria have developed all sorts of ties cultural and economic included but crucially iran uses syria as a conduit for support for hezbollah in lebanon and how mass in the palestinian authority both declared foreign terrorist organizations by the u.s. state department take that away and iran's influence in the region could weigh in all corners and iran could bite perhaps accelerating the nuclear program process some raising its. interference perceived interference in other countries in the region press bahrain probs lebanon perhaps palestinian territories. and that will be the way that iran will react so you can make a plausible case for suggestion that the removal of assad will make iran even more protective or even more dangerous it's a knife edge situation and one which worries more. carious is events in syria worse

than the us even says israel could attack iran in a matter of months the possibility of a conflict between major western powers and iran becoming a conflict between the world's major powers is on the horizon storm clouds are massing over the region reports of emerge that the qatari and saudis are already funding arming and covertly operating with the syrian opposition iran looks increasingly isolated with a hostile israel perilously close norris may r.t. . jason of antiwar dot com says it's likely that if assad regime were to fall it would not be a pro-democracy government that would take over in damascus. a lot of nations particularly the g.c.c. member nations saudi arabia qatar united arab emirates have been looking for an excuse to cut assad out of the picture in the arab league and particularly now are

also hoping that they can leave use this as an opportunity to possibly replace him with a more friendly regime and much much as we saw in libya foreign intervention is not a cure all if if anything is complicates matters and creates new power bases where there were none before we saw in libya of course the national transitional council and some of the militias that nato was backing ended up going on extremely bloody retaliatory rampages in the wake of the fall they get after regime large numbers of people killed and so in some cases entire towns depopulated. nominally because they were seen as pro get off all these other nations are trying to secure the opposition to their interests and certainly al qaeda could be expected to do the exact same thing and. we don't really know who's going to come out on top in

this sort of fight for the control of the opposition but it seems pretty clear that the pro-democracy forces in syria the original protestors probably will not be a major part of the picture in a future government if assad does fall with most of the votes counted it seems that levy has rejected the option of making russian the country's second official language the referendum that was initiated by the russian minority which makes up about a third of the latino population and as artie's. reports many expected this outcome but one of the poll to draw attention to what the minority described as decades of discrimination. valente from a lot of us russian minority says his country's government has gone too far having lived in lot of all his life it was only recently that he managed to exchange a temporary residence permit to a full passport but now this father of three faces another hurdle for his family

this time and that his children and their education was a pass through legislation the school schools sixty percent of the lessons must be taught in latin language but excuse me chemistry biology and physics it's difficult to get it even in your own language and it does create a lot of problems for the students at the moment and of course it lowers their results it was the threat that these schools where at least some lessons are taught in their native russian would be closed down for good that scared the russian minority which constitutes one third of the country's population they initiated a referendum on making russian law to be a second state language something radical right wing parties call a threat to national integrity to fit into this vote as against our constitution which says life is a man a national state and always be it explicit our society which has to have one solid

foundation and if you are not to it to be like russia then lion not going to russia and leave us be. at least three quarters of a million people must vote yes for a constitutional change to take place but with support predicted to be just half that seems to be unlikely the outcome however could have been different if another three hundred twenty thousand residents were allowed to vote those are ethnic russians who spare and grandparents came here after nine hundred forty five they were denied citizenship after a lot of it became independent and are still carrying allien passports people will do for regaining independence because. more. in the huge bulk of people who know aliens are also voted for in abandonment and afterwards. and it's a fraud it's a problem. it's a problem of mutual trust it's a problem of relations between the state and the minorities the newly appointed

council of europe's commissioner for human rights believes the vote will not solve the discrimination problem and that its readers handling of the russian community that should be changed give the human rights suspect of stateless children being born in latvia. clear norms in the convention on the rights of the child every child has a right to citizenship from birth regular living language use in the private sphere this also has human rights implications raise issues of proportionality here i think that things should be reviewed though it is widely accepted here that the russian language referendum will fail the russian minority hopes that the vote will bring their struggle out of the shadows and force the government to at least open a dialogue a lot of years russians are contemplating another vote to introduce changes into the citizenship law that is to abolish the so-called allien passports and grant citizenship to those who are living without it and many say in this case they have a good chance of succeeding as they would only need

a little more than two hundred thousand positive votes let's. see reporting from riga in latvia. and you are with r t coming up in the next few minutes. driving force with horns blaring thousands of motorists in circle central moscow in support for vladimir putin's presidential bid. fear keeps you in control if you are afraid it's easier to be manipulated by somebody telling you to do something rather than questioning what they say. as russia and china take on larger roles in the international arena we asked people in new york if there is good reason to fear the two countries. with some states on the brink of bankruptcy and the future of the single currency uncertain more and more people are starting to question the eurozone and even the european project itself but the idea of a united europe is now being pushed through to a new audience children in the classroom parties test or similar reports. but what

do you know about your country and the capital is there all not enough some lived with. the. spanish french and english and i would have to tell you these youngsters are attending one of the fourteen european schools set up primarily to educate children of e.u. stuff the only system which able to provide education in twenty three different languages you know the more europe is united in their city and that's what we leave every day in the european school but outside the classroom reality says otherwise for now differences seem to transcend unity critics along accuse the e.u. of brainwashing children through education parra for an alien that they claim promote a stormy eyed vision of the e.u.

a comment from a european commission representative at an education fair appears to support that point but you will never succeed on the fellow you are making them for you if you do not know when you're young or old. prejudices. will fit there is no push to export concepts from the european school model international curriculums a plan outlined in a two thousand and eleven report and later adopted by parliament. the european parliament repeats its request to the member states to promote the inclusion of the specific subject on the background goals and functioning of the european union and its institutions which will help young people feel more involved in the process of european integration school curricula responsibility of individual member states to tailor to their own needs and their own classrooms and the e.u. should not get involved in dictating what individual schools teach you know we

don't want the european money wasted on pouring out it's pouring out to you propaganda into our schools we see as part of our role to explain to citizens regardless of age how this thing work why we have the european union why it's a good thing that the aim is more information not not. propaganda or you know sort of brainwashing exercise that's not what we're talking all the objectives of the european school are to encourage european and global perspective and to promote the emergence of a european identity from an early age but the question is what does it stop being education and start being a propaganda when the suggestion is being that a better europe is automatically more europe then i have a problem with that as do angry m e p's he say that targeting youngsters and their education with a potentially one sided political view may just be a little too said mr tess are cilia r.t. brussels. tens of thousands of people have been rallying across russia to back

prime minister putin's bed for the presidency next month in the capital thousands of supporters took to their cars and circled the city's gardening chanting slogans and brandishing russian flags and banners while in the premier's native st petersburg some sixty thousand people gathered in the city center along with a number of prominent citizens who addressed the crowd out there to see good peace can offer as more. the last few months we've seen a real jump in public activity with various times up around these markers and drive taking place across the entire country for example like this drive with the car owners and drivers gathering in central moscow on saturday many cars are decorated a lot of flags sometimes music and it will be nice and. really turning into some want to show on the road sometimes and resembles perhaps celebrations always

successful game by the national hockey team but in fact this the dr has been organized in support of prime minister and presidential candidates like him to put in a head off the upcoming presidential vote on march the poor this isn't really a new format for such events in fact a similar drive was organized recently by the so-called white ribbon movement that was a to support fear election this particular drive is taking place on the same route pretty much around the garden ring which is one of the biggest and mean friends for arteries off the city and is should end up near the kremlin it's fair to say that this jump of all public activity really began after the parliamentary vote early in december. various times of the rallies have been taking place including some of your largest ones with really tens of thousands of people gathering. the largest one since russia seen since the early ninety's and with the presidential election

now just around the corner this activity is increasing in fact the next such event which is actually being organized by the white ribbon movement is going to be in support of both fair elections that drive is going to take weight as soon as on sunday. and that was our t.v. good piece not supporting from central moscow now of course there's more arable land. in russia than in any other country in the world but consumers especially in big cities struggle to find a fresh farm produce however the appetite for organic products means more and more people are taking up farming in an attempt to raise the standards of what on offer in the country supermarkets but as our diapers cover reports there's still a long way to go. to feast for the eyes but not necessarily for your stomach and many would be shocked to find out what exactly makes its way onto our plates. if

only people knew what their sausage is made of or how their yogurt was bottled they would be very upset and would stop buying anything at all of the shops but still. perhaps that's why there is a growing demand among people in russia's main cities organic products unfortunately for them russian shops have little to offer what is sold as eco and bio friendly is often far from it your product is even by abroad as have found a niche in the market think starboard environment and in you fashion for a healthy lifestyle. there are no legal standards also defied labeling schemes for organic produce in russia as lager so individual farmers define it in their own way but it's really on every farmer's own conscience. alexander is a computer programmer who turned to working the land what started as a hobby is now a mini industry with several farms in the moscow region covering long.
