in beach football russia have retained the euro cup here in moscow by beating portugal in the decisive clash for two richard nonprofit watch the game for us but before that let's take a look at how russia reached the final piece can set it up of. russia started then counter with italy cautiously keeping in mind eleven goals that squadron against spain but they 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 thrust for much more and i like same where the ball home heating the russians in front and in the dying seconds of the first period russia's goalkeeper and a book lead ski with a powerful shot doubled the lead scoring the tournament's first goal by a keeper in the second my car if not even one morning telling his four year old so for the talents then cut the deficit to two bills but he got to shake off the final

score for one. philosophically but i'm all italian national teams play defensively no matter which kind of full it is they're alone saw the defendant and count on counter-attacks and when we got the lead they failed to switch to a more taken style and you got it in your duty 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 him come from behind he made a lot of meanwhile the other semifinal turned out to be a cracker as hard favorite sports to go and switzerland took to the sand beach divorce of you is one of the most successful teams in europe with six continental titles and produced an electric start with four goals in their opener this week is reached the semifinal when they're only into 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 only could do seven six and portugal forward up to the final to me it's russian a repeat of the previous year recover decider where the russian squeezed past them six four seconds elaborately that we're delighted to be such a solid team we proved we deserved to be in the final we don't really care her opponents will be we just have to play our game and take full advantage of our opportunities it will be she said with a confident win over italy russia probably envision stared in other traffic today if it was growing cabinet however it's going to be a tough challenge as they face but of the leading nations in the sport portugal in the decider on sunday to say about that archie must go. on to english football now where three games are settled in the f.a. cup on sunday have a poll welcome championship side brought into and filled in the late game of the day so fresh from the europa league defeat to the land set in place probably soon

news in the week's top stories on our team of the u.n. rounds up the pressure on the syrian regime as violence escalates but russia calls for talks to break the stalemate while damascus promises reform. iran's oil ministry says top problem is stopping oil exports to france and britain are made pressure and sanctions over its nuclear program. and greek anger spills out onto the streets once again as lawmakers clear more cuts to secure bottled rescue cash in the wake of days of violent protests.

thanks for being with us with all seven o'clock here in moscow on charon taraji the u.n. general assembly has adopted a non-binding resolution this week calling on syria's president assad to step down russia was among twelve states who voted against it saying the draft fails to address the armed opposition while damascus is vowing for major reforms reports of violence continue artie's marie if in the is in syria. situation here in syria maine's volatile with tensions between security forces and the armed opposition groups continue in claiming lives of both mildred and civilians almost every day on thursday we attended the funerals of a young boy who was gunned down early here in damascus during the n.t. government protests and the procession itself eventually turned into a hostile demonstration in the clashes that followed and continued the next day

five people were killed and many others injured one violence one day causes even more violence next and so on and so on we also can see political murders as well this week shake of voice of most of damascus was assisted native apparently because of his pronouncements the shake came out with strong condemnation of the terror groups of the armed groups he blamed for the bloodshed calling for or to stop the violence to stop the bloodshed we're also hearing about the stooges in other parts of the country reports from opposition activists that in the city of homs many people die every day in the city of hama they've been several explosions all pipeline in the midst of violence these tensions all across syria syria reforms. to go in this week at the date for the national referendum on the country's new constitution was announced the vote is expected to take place next sunday as far as the ministry of internal affairs of syria has said around fifteen million people in

syria today have the right to vote this new constitution was drafted. and the monopoly of the ruling party the vast party here in syria had been in power for the last fifty years but people on the ground are actually fearing that this referendum and this new constitution too little and too late this with the chinese delegation visited syria both russia and china are calling for the dialogue to be restored between the syrian opposition and the authorities. saying that this is the only way out of this crisis. independent journalist charlie girls ling says the peacekeeping initiative put forward by the arab league could be used to the advantage of nato states the arab league now has become almost simply a tool of the west because most of the most powerful countries in the very much under the western petro dollar influence we had an arab league sponsored

investigation into syria it didn't come up with what the western arab leaders and the western press wanted to hear which was first of all that there are all sorts of third forces within syria who are killing people these are armed gangs armed groups running around and causing a lot of these civilian deaths rather than as we keep hearing the syrian forces i don't think there will be a sort of peaceful intervention because those free syrian army rebels and indeed al qaida has very strong links to the west it was the west that recently created al qaida in afghanistan so many of these fighters within syria are actually playing into the hands of nato nato has been really ruthless in many pilates in their beliefs in order to get them to fight the i said regime so we're looking at really a two track thing one is an official policy which is at least to try and attempt to get negotiations but the unofficial policy is constant attacks against the assad

regime so i think if the west does in to intervene in that way it shows that they have absolutely no regard for the international rule of law. iran says it has stopped oil exports to french and british companies the country's oil ministry says takraw has other customers to sell its crude to the islamic republic aims to preempt and e.u. oil embargo that set to come into force in july the e.u. says the ban was necessary to force iran to resume talks over its atomic program europe and the u.s. suspects ron is pursuing nuclear weapons attack iran denies that and says it's ready to resume negotiations that's as reports suggest iran plans to boost the enrichment capacity of its underground site near the city of home middle east expert ali risk says by halting oil supplies to europe attack iran is trying to prevent an armed conflict here iran is trying to send a message that it cannot be you cannot deal with iran in such oil iran has its own

weapons while the west for example believes it has weapons and ammunition represented by sanctions iran is also in a country which can also respond in the appropriate manner i think is also a warning that if military action is taken this would only be small comparing to how we want to react in that case i think it's a small warning that while you take action now economic action against us this is what we can do imagine what action we could take if you go ahead and use the military card against us so i think it's a warning to the west to keep israel also tied their own and to prevent israel from going ahead with an actual military attack trying to tell the west you'd better keep israel intact otherwise you might be witnessing a very difficult period in the car in the future i think there's a military attack as well is launched preventing iran from getting nuclear weapons isn't the real driving force for the u.s. and its allies says anti-war activist brian becker. the united states government has created an artificial crisis that's first and foremost it's

a manufactured crisis iran is complying with the. iran does not have a nuclear weapon iran is not threaten its neighbors iran has not started a war with any of its neighbors israel on the other hand has hundreds of nuclear weapons and unlike the run refuses to sign the nuclear nonproliferation treaty does not allow. inspectors into its country so there's not really a nuclear menace or a nuclear danger from iran and so what is the cause of the artificial crisis the real goal is the united states government has embarked on a course of extreme economic aggression against iran with the hope that by creating economic suffering economic isolation economic misery that part of the population will rise up or become disenfranchised with the government so that the u.s. can do as it has in history carry out regime change.

he can hear the full version of that interview in just over an hour's time here on our team coming up in the next few minutes pro-democracy anniversary and a war scarred country fireworks replayed gunshots in libya four days of celebrations about an armed to the teeth a militia isn't going anywhere casting a shadow on the country's path stability. frustrated greeks have been rallying in central funds once again to protest against ever more austerity being pushed upon them greece's cabinet has passed the final set of massive cuts e.u. creditors demand in return for a one hundred thirty billion euro bailout which could now be cleared on monday but the rage of a blow laker population is still at the forefront of greek society artie's jacob grieves reports. a system under siege m.p.'s drowned out the pleas of tens of thousands of demonstrators amassed within a short passing another round of unpopular cuts. the results proved

incendiary. that uganda protests turned violent as protesters including fringe and a kiss clashed with police again leaving their mark on athens. the day on this is the remnants of public anger the glasses of the only thing that's been broken as governments passed increasingly unpopular austerity cuts people are being left asking who can they trust serve their interests the measures are very very tough part of the poor people especially and this is the reason that they feel. today i think more measures have been taken and they're it's not going to work in the end they'll be another bill he clearly bad and. oh i hope for the best but i don't see it coming. under pressure from brussels berlin and the international monetary fund the greek government has cut more jobs to slash funding for the

nation's pensions a minimum wage but current policy appears to mainly expose those most vulnerable to crisis conditions is a mindset some feel is doomed to fail and they already have destroyed the whole generation of young people and their dreams destroyed the structure of the sabian infrastructure of the whole country we know that it is impossible to repay this debt that we have now signs that these ego lauro do those bad we cannot continue like that because the policy that the government is following actually increases the day yeah instead of finding a solution but the heart of activists claims is there are certain that they've known austerity. for the best part of five years now and that time taxes have risen incomes have full and but the country's deficit only seems to grow and in this austerity cycle is something sought by an increasing number despite the turmoil the

government warns would follow but what is a bad about our political system is the break up of that idea exactly even more. by these third or four. years they are going to come the only way out through this point is that default default is going to be very tough for us but there's going to be a better solution than these so slow down for now relative calm has returned to the streets of athens smashed buildings have been patched up the signs of damage swept away but the simmering discontent hasn't been and was forced medicine appears to bring nothing but pain many are continuing their call for terms of treatment greece athens that was our t.j. graves one of the creditors conditions that's riles greek politicians are the demands for written guarantees that they will stick to the cuts regardless of who

wins the next election but some experts say the euro zone's powerhouse germany as no longer interested in keeping greece within the currency union. 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 ireland these debt 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 portugal. the euro zone's austerity drive has also hit spain as tens of thousands of people have marched out across the country protesters are angry at the government's labor reforms the largest rally is taking place in madrid for trade unions have organized galleries and fifty seven cities across the country protesters say reforms were unfair to work person would destroy jobs the changes make it easier to adjust employees schedules and wages and have staff fired last week similar rallies turned violent as demonstrators were blocked by police on their way to the parliament spain's unemployment has tripled since two thousand and seven and almost half of people under the age of twenty five

are out of work. that's week libyans have been celebrating the first anniversary of the uprising that led to the toppling of colonel gadhafi the united states congratulated the people while urging the libyan government to protect civil rights amnesty international has been reporting that gadhafi supporters have been subjected to abuse and torture their concerns grow that libya's armed militia are still roaming the country unchecked pharaoh's mangi who's editor in chief of the pan african social justice network told r.t. the situation now is much worse than it was during the colonel's regime. and the sense that they too are we in danger of libya. as the. groups human rights by this not just torture there is. indiscriminate killings there are extra judicial killings there's summary execution of them coto gadhafi. members of this film have been some really executed nobody

public opinion as archie's going edge can for ports. what a better way to celebrate valentine's day than with a partner who lends you money nonstop provides you with cheap labor and host thousands of your factory to the remarkable development of china u.s. relations america's love for china would be boundless if not for the growing fear of it these guys around for us and the end of it and looking for ways to. to work to harness i want to beat china i want to go to war with china and make america the most attractive place in the world to do business menacing and vilifying china are typical for political campaigns in america these days like these. i'm going to get warm and go after death to our floor to do it and that is how our great empire rose again. it's not too late to stop this nightmare it's

on r.g.p. even children still made in china in short anything get a kid no sweetie the chinese are going to get. there's still a billion of them in their economy is getting there with their fear does it take now to do they're going to be get in there and make it. with china being the biggest foreign creditor for the us the economic interdependency between the two is raising red flags in the minds of many americans china can very easily just bankrupt america overnight all they've got to do is just dump dollars and treasuries switch to euros radio the current lets him have a mark except experts agree china would never do that because beijing is just as interested in preserving the value of their us treasury holdings as well as the rich market for their manufactured goods but this economy interdependency becomes a headache for washington when china demonstrates policies independent.
