clothings for joining our team at half past the hour i'm karen tara these are your headlines u.s. officials come clean about washington aiding the syrian rebels named sources say weapons are flowing in the rebels claim they have recently seen an influx of arms from abroad to fight the regime in syria. the euro's on shaky ground as greece's new election could see the country take leave the currency union it would send shock waves across the region with e.u. heavyweights still hoping to keep the greeks in. and a family walled in and left in isolation israel's barriers are separating people

who refuse to leave lands passed down through generations but israel says the walls are essential for its security. it's trying times for the eurozone and next we talk to chuck our board to the economics leader writer for the guardian newspaper about what morris had greece and what the entire region can do to get it back on track. today i'm talking to dieter chakraborty who's an economics leader writer for the guardian newspaper we're talking as politicians increasingly start to discuss an exit for greece from the euro zone as you see chakraborty thinks that orderly all disorderly that exit will see disorder on the streets of greece like you very much for talking to us today and we've recently seen these elections in greece which appear to have shown that the greek people reject austerity how long do you think that rebellion is going to go on for i think it's already been going on for the

better part of two years ever since the european union and the i.m.f. impose a really severe program of spending cards and form of welfare on greece you've basically seen a country which is dissin very quickly into the realms of young governable what you saw or simply unlawful this was about. electoral vote against austerity parties a party that was against austerity now whether that means that they're against spending cuts well that means they're against reforming labor laws would that mean they're against changing the welfare system or were they simply against privatizing whole swathes of national assets i don't know but what you do see very clearly from greece these elections and i think you've seen for the better part of a year is a kind of wholesale rejection of the program that's been imposed upon greece and we've seen germany's finance minister will crank schauble make it very clear that either greece sticks to this austerity all it quits the euro what's in greece's

interest would you say. what's best for them i think we could start with the most obvious thing is to stop this austerity what happens next well that's a that's a more vexed question if you want to talk about whether it's a good idea for greece stay within the euro and alt. i think either way it's commute very painful. decision for greece if it stays within the euro. it will be forced to stick to some kind of program imposed on it from outside for a long time to come and it won't have the great safety valve that normally give countries in distress or been able to devalue its own currency that lots of problems are staying in europe the problems of living on the other hand or the kind of volatility and turbulence which may well look may may well make the general strikes to rights all the rest of it look like walk in the park compared to what happens next so that's from greece's point of view but what about the point of view of the rest of the year is the german chancellor angela merkel and new french

president francois hollande says both say that they want greece to stay in the is greece essential for keeping the euro zone together really. it's not but the big question that will come up as soon as any country walks out of the door is which i was going to follow after it so greece is a very small economy greece is also it's pretty clear and exceptional case within the euro zone economy because it's had the biggest crisis of the lot it's had the biggest bust of the lot it's got of course you know it's got a whole series of. specific to greece but if it goes there was a stop portugal from going to and talking about sort of house of cards and this is being this is been the big question ever since it became clear that southern europe was in trouble was it was never about one country particular and it was sticking not about greece assumes the questions of greece in question actually the big questions get raised what about spain what about italy and these are these are the

really big economies even some europe and within the euro zone and so when i go merkel said if the euro collapses europe itself will collapse do you think that sort of prophecy almost coming true. very funny statement for the german chance to make because the euro the euro is a union the seventeen countries the european union is a union of twenty seven countries and growing and so for her to ally one with the other is a is a very curious thing to do. it may be rhetorical overstretch but it may also be that she sees the euro zone affecting without that what happens in the european union would probably she's got she says the equal european union but she also says austerity equals zero so what you've got. very clearly not just in greece but across the euro zone now you've got electorates and governments collapsing because they cannot impose austerity on their on their voters so even in neverland

government government collapses because economy posen sturdy belgium hasn't had a government for the best part of a year. if the if the european equal just thirty and if the your if your opinion equals you and if the you're equal then vote is then what authorities what does that mean about the rest of the european union i think you've got to come up with a better story for europe is for than simply it's about the euro what about potential exit for greece politicians are now really for the first time talking about an actual situation where greece might access and they're talking about an orderly or a disorderly exit what do those terms mean and what real difference do you think it would make the really really odd thing when people who are all the or disorderly is all evil disorderly for whom because i can assure you that any situation however well managed for the group for the ordinary greek it's going to be very disorderly indeed it's going to be very very turbulent. people have been modeling what

a greek exit from the euro zone would look like for the best part of a year politically and economically politically even those who are in favor of greece leaving the euro zone. they would except that it would involve the army being on the street to keep order it would mean the banks would have to shop for to be shot would be a teams would not be working it would mean that people be stopped from leaving the country especially with this forms of euros in their back pocket because the country would then need to stop all capital from the country and to maintain a very high level. so it would affect me like a countryman of marshall vote. the question all in the saudis really for the rest of the euro zone if the euro zone can say to the rest of the markets look greece is leaving but we all know greece is a special case you know behind our hands will say it's a bit of a basket case and actually its problems are not the rest of the euro zone that's what they really mean by an orderly exit if they can convince everyone that greece

is leaving because of greece not because of the euro i don't think the markets would buy that because the rot has gone so far. financial markets i'm willing to lend to spain or to italy but i don't think people any longer see is a problem confined to just one or two small countries and what about the situation with the banking sector in greece at the moment you talk about sort of disorder on the streets we've seen in the region of a billion euros i think withdrawn from greek banks just in the last ten days how significant is that how close do you think that is to panic withdrawing a run on the banks essentially. i was i went into one being spanx in greece in the capital athens in syntagma square last summer and one of the two most popular financial products he pulled out a say. to what. they were going to say. they put their money they no longer keep their money in the count's in the bank they

keep it in a safe box in the vaults below almost under the mattress exactly like twenty first century of keep it on the pillow. so actually a bank run has a very slow motion bank run has been evident in greece for the best part of a year what you see in the past ten days is that sped up dramatically. the banking system in greece to intensive purposes been a zombie five banking system for the best past years because most of the debts that greece holds has been written and so much of a signal portion of those debts held by the greek government are held by the greek banks system so effectively a sudden apollo worthless loans and that's before you get on to the loans are made to businesses and households which also not worth half what they were if that. so it's pretty clear that whatever you will have to do to greece stays in europe where it does then you're aware victims of austerity were doesn't it in your authority in need to do something to restructure and to bring back to life its banking system

but it doesn't have the money to do that and no one in the rest of europe is willing to give it a money to do that and all over europe there's a growing popular opposition to the political and economic union how of the european bureaucrats failed to convince the people that the european union as a whole and the euro particularly are a good idea. i'll turn a question around you have to say it's the most it's it's the crowning achievement of brussels it's managed to take a largely pro european continent and turn it so wholesale you against europe and the euro we're talking in britain where. if you look at the popular press and even sections our political party system there are a whole variety people who would see brussels being on some kind of conspiracy plot to turn all banal as straight and this is always been part of the british public discourse what's been really interesting from this side the channel is actually more and more the content is turning against the euro and turn against europe and i think that's largely goes back to what angela merkel says about if the your affair with europe fails she has made europe about the euro and she's made about making

spending cuts even in germany which is seen as being the strongest and most successful economy of the past decade even in germany the average german worker has seen his or her wages for a deposit kate take out inflation the median german wages fall and four percent over the past decade so even you are rich german workers the person in the most successful strongest economy in all of europe is worse off now than they were when since the euro launched and how far do you think politicians in brussels are willing to go to save the union and what you've seen in past two years is effectively a whole series of blame games going on a soon as it became clear that greece was in trouble people in brussels and cross normally would say well that's greece you know we knew they would they shouldn't really be in power of the year in the first place then oil and says hang on we're in trouble well you know the irish they can never control this their property market in portugal well ways portugal for heaven's sake then spain italy and so on

so forth always becomes the fault of these individual countries and no point until very recently did and say hang on there is a systemic problem here because you see whole swathes of europe now effectively going bankrupt or as close to bankrupt as you can officially get. and so they're very belatedly they realize that actually this is not just about countries been in for but about an extension crisis bureau. having only just recognize that they're nowhere near putting the policy in place that might save you or it is to check a posse thank you very much. margaret mother did not like we're going to become. he was afraid. and she was

very cool. she filled. our lives frankenstein's monster. we don't have the problem. every time and effort is made. on the palestinian or in the european side to negotiate an end to the violent attacks against israel which i have no fear of war call the. song goes you have no you're calling the leader of the state of israel one of the main terrorists in the world. we are supposed to be seriously examining history but you mention a few words about jewish culture labyrinth and people get so upset this is i'm sorry to say it's

a form of emotional blackmail. u.s.

officials come clean about washington aiding the syrian rebels claimed sources say weapons are flowing in rebels claim they have recently seen an influx of arms from abroad to fight the regime in syria. the euro's on shaky ground as greece's new election could see the country take a leave of the current scene union it would send shock waves across the region with e.u. heavyweights still hoping to keep the greeks. and the family wall then i am left in isolation as real barriers are separating people who refuse to leave lands passed down through generations but israel says the walls are essential for security. up next it's all the latest sports news with paul.

thank you very much karen well good luck to the world of sport here is what's coming up. and the cops it liverpool soccer manager kenny dalglish after just one full season in charge after their worst premier league finish in eighteen years. wonderful williams both serena and venus to spot russian opposition on their way to round three of the italian open tennis. on truck the head of the international paralympic committee says he's impressed with such is progress two years before the winter games begin. but we start with football where a fee for delegation is in moscow as the group tours the country before announcing the final sure list of eleven venues for the two thousand and eighteen world cup the delegation arrived fresh from a remembered fact finding mission on monday

carling cup final and final relatively poor league position either but the. boys simply and there were really good new. position in goal being. and i think. you know if you look at the top twenty goals and premier league there's no all of a plan amongst them meanwhile new england manager roy hodgson has been explaining his reasons for leaving former captain rio ferdinand out of his hero twenty twelve squad the thirty three year old manchester united defender was a major promotions list of twenty three who will be going to poland and ukraine placed purely a football decision there was a man that i both respect as a player as a person i don't know it well personally but of course like everyone in the room i've watched it enough of him over the years to realise what a fine he is and what a good person is but to make a fulfilling decision i had to decide on the basis basically of what i've seen in

recent months and in particular influenced also to some extent by the fact that he hasn't played so much since the world cup and has only played once things and in the last year. meanwhile republic of ireland manager giovanni trapattoni says this summer's tournament is a great opportunity for the country ireland haven't qualified for the european championship since one thousand nine hundred eighty eight and haven't been in any major tournament since the world cup in two thousand and two but despite being in a group with holders spain two thousand and six world champions italy and croatia the italian believes his men can reach the knockout stages because the ninety minutes never say never will be possible. we must believe. is possible also to go over the first group. in the order. now we've reached the knockout stages at the ice hockey world championships in finland in sweden all four quarter final marches are taking place

williams have beaten russian opposition to reach the third round of the italian open in rome serenus the overthrow over in three sets four six six two six three the russian had never lost to the thirteen time grand slam winner having won at their two previous meetings and things appeared to be going to plan as petrov a took the first set six four but the twenty nine year old then squandered three break points early in the second allowing her american opponent to school back and take the second set six two before racing through the third and final set williams is unbeaten in fifteen matches on play this season ominous former head of the french open later this month. meanwhile her sister venus got the better catarina caught up in straight sets although she was pushed all the way in the right. benchley winning the first set tie break nine seven exertions over the first thing to take it out of her russian opponent though as williams eased to victory in the second taking at six one the unseated american will now face u.s.

open champion sam stosur in round three. now there's less than two years to go before the start of the twenty fourteen winter olympic and paralympic games with authorities continuing to inspect venues and infrastructure in the russian host city of sochi international paralympic committee president craven visiting for the first time this week now almost two thousand venues will require access for people with disabilities the sixty one year old stating he was impressed by what he saw adding organizers are acting on their commitment to ensure all areas are accessible to less able farms as well as the athletes themselves. every citizen will have the right to call me spectating come and enjoy and that's what the paralympic movement is about and that is what i am convinced the sushi twenty fourteen started with and now we see it is delivered you know we've seen it delivered we've seen we've seen the curling venue we've seen the main stadium just

now and now we've seen the the smaller ice of the venue. finally motor sport may still be dominated by the male sex despite not to see as appointment of a female test driver for this formula one season but maria de villota isn't the only female making a noise in a man's world as richard on porfiry found out when he met russia's natalia for the . blonde beautiful with a need for speed russia's natalia freedom is causing a stir within a new to racing world some are native who's been living in switzerland for the last eighty is is currently the only woman in competing albeit fine a.g.t. sort of kids and she says it was no coincidence that she got into sports that if any of my friends. i wanted a boy but i was born in stead so i had no choice but to fulfill my downstream i was really keen on a career in motor sport and still not but now i'm used to it when i'm really enjoying racing professionally she's currently driving an aston martin as she

competes in a g.t. free competition which takes her around various circuits across europe however she's loving every minute of life in the fast lane and is learn to overcome the usual stereotypes about women drivers that's where the big deficit cuts he strange people either saying wow that's great what's he doing good i still get jokes about being a blond guy in the wheel but i've just learned to take it in my stride however natalya's have a chance to learn the tricks of the trade for markedly one of russia's best ever races alex save a cd of the forty year old has competed at lemoore and has been racing for almost a quarter of a century in the tally our partners both on and off the track is no down to who's the better driver because. of course when it comes to motor sport i'm on pole position but when we are talking about thinking things through logically then of course natalia's in front. however getting into the sport isn't she the top of the

range i'm bikini all ferrari it will set you back hundreds of fountains of euros but if so it's a point sounds russian team's underachievers getting a major boost from the country's top oil firms of a government has taken a particular interest into sports but nonetheless it still takes massive financial sports just to get started. on like athletics or swimming where you only need a pair of trainers or trunks motorsport is way more expensive as you need a top car which you have to maintain it's very expensive to buy the tires and spare parts especially for a ferrari for a child who's competing in the russian go karting championships it will set their parents back in the region of fifty to sixty thousand euro's just for a season however competing professionally in a ferrari is. much more expensive a new cost from two hundred thousand euros money oversleep plays a massive policy of getting started and also plays a very important role as well. will be looking to go from strength to strength in

all aspects a big career. goal for me to stay. old a school for now but i'll have more for you in a little under two hours time here when i'll take me that. well to the. science technology innovation all the latest developments from

around russia we've got the future covered.
