they wanted to find a way back into the mind which however of a task was made all but impossible as you to me it ground to second again of result beyond any doubt. that is does need a miracle they wanted to lift the trophy themselves and they did give themselves a lifeline as which of karma pool goes by book with only two minutes remaining and another play goal is needed the toss is all but impossible. games make the school more respectable with what proved to be the last kick of again but despite that effort from my chair it had no effect on the final score line of russia rome to a well deserved four two win much to the delight of their fans and the captain and nearly all of. you know i'm very good it's a wonderful feeling to win this trophy we weren't able to win here in two thousand and five when we must to switzerland in the final however we weren't as experienced back then and we were just learning about the sport seven years on and we've

to the. science technology innovation all the developments from around russia we've got the future covered. right. from france to. start on t.v. dot com. wealthy

british style it's not on. the. market why not scandal.

find out what's really happening to the global economy is cause a report on. the latest news in the week's top stories and. oil ministry says tehran is stopping all exports to france and britain amid sanctions over its nuclear program. un ramps up the pressure on the syrian regime escalates and russia calls for talks to break the stalemate damascus promises reforms. and spills out into the streets once again as lawmakers clear more cuts to secure vital rescue cash in the wake of days of violent protests some top stories this hour.

with a look back at the past seven days and the latest developments this is the weekly. iran says it has stopped oil exports to french and british companies the country's oil ministry says tehran has other customers to sell its crude to islamic republic aims to preempt e.u. oil embargo that set to come into force in july it says the ban was needed to force iran to resume talks over its atomic program europe and the us suspect iran is pursuing nuclear weapons to iran denies that and says it's ready to start negotiations a team of u.n. you can inspect is on its way to the country a second such visit within a month. and what's the top he told me that a lot of that he thinks enron's imposing its own on in boggo to show it won't be bullied. economic sanctions are a game that two can play and turnabout is fair play in international affairs the

european commission and the relevant powers have been making a big noise over the past couple of weeks about how they are going to embargo and boycott all iranian oil starting on july first well it's pretty obvious the iranians decided not to wait around until july first they've decided to to impose their own embargo boycott on the offending powers and they're starting with the the two biggest imperialist bullies on the schoolyard the british and the french who are now so weak that they can only act together they are a kind of imperialist bicycle built for two they haven't had time to carefully arrange the fallback options and the alternative sources of oil so this is a little bit of a surprise to that the iranians have been under sanctions for thirty years when i was in iran you see a lot of prosperity a lot of economic activity there had been a shock in january as

a result of the very stringent sort of secondary boycott sanctions that the u.s. had put in but the iranians will tell you they have lived under u.s. sanctions for thirty years they know how to to survive in such a situation i didn't see any evidence of hardships at all peoples that that certain key prices had gone up the bigger issue i think is the slide towards war and i think we have to take very seriously what we're seeing now with the reckless and irresponsible statements of the israeli leaders these feckless americans who are sort of but shining in is a region sliding towards war and that would be then i think possibly a general war. preventing iran from getting nuclear weapons isn't the real driving force for the u.s. and its allies says the 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 i.a.e.a. iran does not have

a nuclear weapon iran is not threatening 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 iran refuses to sign the nuclear nonproliferation treaty does not allow. specters into its country so there's not really a nuclear menace or a nuclear danger from iran 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. and you can watch the full version of that interview in just over an hour from now here on r.t. . the u.n.

general assembly is adopted the norm 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 vying for major reforms reports of violence continue what is more of a notion is in syria. the 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 to a straight in the clashes that followed and that 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 shaikh of one of the most of damascus was assisted native apparently because of his

pronouncements the shaikh came out with strong condemnation of the terror groups of the armed groups he blamed for the bloodshed calling for to stop the violence to stop the bloodshed we're also hearing about hostilities 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 on the go in this week 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 bath 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 week the chinese delegation visited syria both russia and china are calling for the dialogue to be restored between the syrian opposition and the authorities and saying that this is the only way out of this crisis. a middle east blogger culture shero told me a little earlier that he thinks nato states are only escalating the situation in syria supporting the fragmented opposition. were to step down tomorrow who is actually the legitimate political opposition to take control and when the west talks about supporting or the gulf states this side or the outside actually the groups. and finance or give support to so within the vacuum who would step in you would have people returning from iraq the kind of the weapons or the experience and i think what we really need to be aware of is this highly erratic

nature of western policy in particular u.s. policy towards all the countries in the region but particularly now towards syria that is kind of becoming provocative the west really needs to step back and try to call things down before the escalate out of control. coming up in the next few minutes pro-democracy anniversaries marked across the middle east a fireworks place gunshots in libya the days of celebrations but a moment to the teeth militia isn't going anywhere casting a shadow on the country's path to stability. still to come in another middle eastern country bahrain police calm down the strong anti-government protesters with the help of one of britain's former top cops. those stories told to come for you but next here an hour to you frustrated greeks have been rallying in central athens once again to protest against ever more austerity being pushed upon them groups of protesters remained outside parliament throughout the

day with some scuffles with police reese's cabinet has passed the final set of massive cuts creditors demand in return for a hundred thirty billion euro bailout which could now be cleared on monday finance ministers are meeting tomorrow in brussels to discuss the fate of greece investment advisor patrick dollars told me that the next bailout is clear greece's loss of sovereignty will be complete. what we have here is basically that great scene in the hollywood adventure movie where someone has tripped and fallen over the edge of the cliff and he's being held on to by one armed by the person who we're not sure whether he's that beauty or the easy gonna let them go and let them fall to a terrible death or is he going to hang on to them and gradually bring them up and that's where we are with greece and the european union because actually what is being said behind closed doors and even to a degree in public is we've got some of those guys sure have learned the german finance minister basically saying he doesn't trust the greeks to manage to hold up

to the agreements that they've made and tragically the greeks track record of actually doing their bit in terms of what they're supposed to do in the past has been a huge fail so therefore we now have a situation where the greeks have said we'll do anything you want whatever you want we'll do it personally i think what's going to happen is that the finance ministers will probably agree to give greece some money and greece is going to find itself in a dreadful situation where like a nine year old child every friday it's going to have to go to daddy say it's done untold work so it's been a good boy and overall can actually see how the next two weeks pocket money in order to pay its civil servants and that's a horrible loss of sovereignty. the greek parliament passed the cuts needed to secure the bailout last sunday which triggered violent protests on the streets and the rage of the beleaguered population is still at the forefront of greek society as artie's jacob grieves now reports. system under siege m.p.'s drowned out the pleas of tens of thousands of demonstrators amassed within

a short passing another round of them popular cuts. the results proved incendiary. uganda protests turned violent as protesters including fringe and a kiss clashed with police again leaving their mark on athens. a day on this is the remnants of public anger for glasses and the only thing that's been broken as governments past increasingly unpopular austerity cuts will be 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 we feel. we today i think more measures have been taken and they're it's not going to work in the end it will 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 they will destroy the structure of the sabian infrastructure of the whole country we know that it is impossible to read a piece there that we have now signs that the dizzy legal or old news we cannot continue like that because the policy that the government is following actually increases the day yeah instead of finding the solution at the heart of activists claims is their solution that they've noticed their. the for the best part of five years now and the time taxes have risen incomes have full but the country's deficit

only seems to grow and in this austerity cycle is something sought by an increasing number despite the turmoil governor wallace will follow but what is about our political system is that wake up to exaggerate even more. people. are going to come the only way out of this point is the default default is good to be very tough for us but there's going to be a better solution than the slow down. for now relative calm has returned to the streets of athens smashed buildings have been patched up the signs of damage switched to wait for the simmering discontent hasn't been a mass force medicine appears to bring nothing but pain many are continuing their call for target of treatment aggrieved party and. the euro zone's austerity drive has also hit spain as tens of thousands of people have marched out

across the country protesters angry at the government's labor reforms the largest rallies taking place in madrid but trade unions have organized gatherings in fifty seven cities across the country protests to say reforms are unfair to workers i would destroy jobs the changes make it easier to just employees show jewels and wages and stuff fired last week similar rallies turned violent and demonstrators were blocked by police on the way to palm springs unemployment has tripled since two thousand and seven and almost half of people under twenty five are out of work . this week libyans have been celebrating the first anniversary of the uprising that led to the toppling of colonel gadhafi 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 this is concerns grow that libya's militia still roaming the country unchecked for those mangi he's editor in chief of the social justice network told r.t.

the situation there was much worse than it was during the colonel's regime. ever since the greater when very of libya. has being. gross human rights violations it's not just torture there is. indiscriminate killings there are extra judicial killings there's summary execution of the gadhafi. members this found some really executed nobody has been brought to justice or the huge amount of arms that are being poured in by france by the europeans by the americans at. this place is going to into. all civil war. that sense is worse than it was under the the rule of law for duffy. it's been a year since another pro-democracy uprising this time in bahrain but it was tear

gas and rubber bullets that rained down on demonstrators as they faced a tough police clampdown and as other bennett has been finding out security forces are being helped by foreign advisers. tear gas and stun grenades supposedly the work of a reformed police force but one year on since the first anti-government protests will crushed in bahrain it seems not much has changed the only difference now the crackdown has been planned by one of britain's former top cops john the used to be assistant commissioner. london's metropolitan police he now works for bahrain's monarchy which says he's there to oversee police reforms the police have borrowed or behaving despicably their latest trick is to throw cancer tear gas into homes of people they don't like shut the doors and people have died choking to death tear gas or use out of doors and i think for any british police officer overstimulate is retired to be associated in any way with that is this is wrong yes resigned from

scotland yard last year and early fix him of the phone hacking scandal he popped up in bahrain in december as part of the regime's p.r. campaign to clean up its image a campaign pushed hard it seems by yeats himself he recently told the daily telegraph his new charges had a well rehearsed plan for the anniversary of the uprising adding the concept of reasonable reaction to provocation has been reinforced as for the uprising itself he said this isn't organize protests it's just vandalism rioting on the streets claims hotly disputed by london's bahraini community i mean when you get thousands and thousands of people protestant demanding their rights and you call that vandalism if you seem to forget that there are sixty or over sixty five people actually died in france from police brutality activists in bahrain insist their protest was peaceful their aim.
