russia has denied being crowned ice hockey championship champions of the world that team beat slovakia sixty to take this year's title is tom bottom of a pool. russia has won the two thousand and twelve world poppy championships they dominated the game against rivals slovakia there wasn't really a wobbly moments in the match and as soon as they raised that the streets went wild people here are absolutely ecstatic about the results here malcolm was named man of the match and prime minister amir bet it has congratulated the team on their success it also means this win that throughout the contrast the russian team hasn't lost a single match out of all of the ten they've played and it comes after two difficult years for russian hockey last year the entire club team local more t.v.
6:05 pm
was killed in a plane crash and the national team after wins in two thousand and eight and nine were further down the rankings for a couple of years not anymore the international ice hockey federation how do already ranks the russian team number warm in the world and how they've proved it. to stay or not to stay about is the question facing greece says political instability catapult towards an exit from the eurozone however the leaders of some of the world's most powerful economies have gathered for talks in the u.s. publicly declaring it should stay put behind the smiles and handshakes analysts all concerned and a desire to see greece go out he's innocent and he said now has not camp david was invaded by the europeans over the weekend or at least it seemed that way with almost all ga talk touching the the eurozone. there were new faces of focus was on
6:06 pm
a not so new and ever growing crisis and the million dollar question of could agrees be current loose and leave the euro zone practically every financial analyst things that greece will leave it has to be an orderly withdrawal from the. anything else would be disaster the official mantra remain. we must do everything so the groups are able to stay in the euro zone. he's. young and that was once again the united stance is this camp david summit wrapped up but plan b. is already in place officials in brussels have a back up just in case and germany has been hinting a referendum on a new euro exit could be greece's best bet to believe the smiles and handshakes are just damage control i think this is just trying to predict what a pretty face on it is hoped in is so when the markets open monday they can have some good news to report but the media are more concerned with who was not at camp
6:07 pm
david then what was president putin says he's busy with his cabinet this weekend others think he's steamed over the street protests lots of speculation as to why putin skipped this g. eight but very little based on logic president putin couldn't really contribute anything. to a solution he could say right you have to solve your debt problem germany perhaps shouldn't extend more danger to other weak members of the european union and so on but basically he'd be a bystander not the case for obama who in an election year can't afford to but euro zone fallout worsened the u.s. economy russia sees this summit as a stop on the way to june twenty. fifth down for talks with the g. twenty it focuses on a wider range of issues much more pressing to countries like russia and china who seem to have greater expectations from the broader format especially when it comes
6:08 pm
to financial turmoil and making sure all global issues make the cut reporting from the g. eight at camp david and he said no way. so the cia are not the ones defending chorus calling for greece to stay is now a mere chant but marcus kerber professor of political economic said the berlin institute of technology says that now even a greek exit won't be enough to save the euro. unconditional. euro savers they are now prisoners of their own misjudgments their errors of judgment turn out to be fatal because the crisis about the euro is on far more than just a currency it's about the future integration of europe and we have come to a point where we can no longer solve the euro crisis by simply urging or pushing or requesting greece to opt out and to leave the eurozone because the problems are far beyond that we could have service some two years ago when the crisis was
6:09 pm
a very beginning so the discussion is no longer about greece the discussion is no longer about whether germany is profiting or benefiting less or more from the from the eurozone the question is how we can get the problem solved as quickly as possible without damaging the european integration process they are learned kingdom of bahrain is now of america's weapons export blacklist with gun sales about to resume that despite an often bloody government crackdown on a popular uprising against the ruling monarchy and artie's again education suggests that in keeping with washington selective approach to just you deserve freedom. that was the emmett bahrain's persistent crackdown on protesters journalists and human rights activists that washington welcomes bahrain's crown prince and as well for the united. and pledges to resume arms supplies to
6:10 pm
a key ally in the gulf. the u.s. had suspended weapons sales to bahrain in the light of massive human rights violations by these sorties there but now the state department has issued a statement saying that american weapons will soon be heading to bahrain again. we've made this decision i want to emphasize on national security grounds we've made this decision mindful of the fact that there remain a number of serious unresolved human rights issues in bahrain which we expect the government of bahrain to address bahrain host the u.s. fifth fleet it's around forty ships two aircraft carriers sixteen thousand personnel and major force in the gulf region clyde prestowitz a top economist in the reagan and clinton administrations argues the us has traded principles for military bases have sided with the ruling sunni. regime because of the base of the of the fifth fleet. in the gulf.
6:11 pm
and so yeah i mean i think we compromised in the same statement announcing the resumption of arms supplies to bahrain washington calls for the country's opposition to show restraint. we're concerned by what has now become almost daily street violence and we are in this context bahrain's political opposition to call for an end to the violence against police that's a stark difference from the u.s. approach towards other countries in the region engulfed in anti-government protests where the u.s. has tacitly or openly encouraged violence against government forces in libya the united states wants. openly supporting it was open and openly supporting the libyan rebels and their acts against the state even though this was. an art to peace a truly sure that now was the doing proper board and moving and then syria similarly there has been no and there were only four or restrain from bartlett's bar the
6:12 pm
opposition forces there so it's a little bit our see there's only in bahrain it's a highly asymmetrical it's not a situation it's not a case in which. in which there's enormous violence of work by the protesters against the police forces it's clearly by the bahraini state against the civilians the general perception is that the u.s. doesn't want to rock the boat in bahrain because of its fifth fleet there so it's a case of eyes wide shot at human rights violations it might seem like a normal trade off in the world of politics but critics say it makes a mockery of america claiming the high moral ground in other countries in the arab world where political unrest wages company check our reporting from washington r.t. . and we can bring you back to the situation now from chicago to see it so you would be protected for a week now what's happening on the streets of chicago right now.
6:13 pm

6:15 pm
a ready to terms in office nevertheless nikolaevitch has just confirmed the countries to continue moving towards e.u. membership but it. got us it says that subs have chosen the two evils. think the serves and realize that membership is not a panacea not a cure all for all evils in the system and there are many evils in the system i mean ex-president presided over eight years of poverty in which he's oligarchy have drawn all of our natural benefits and they created a kind of replaced a kind of communism with a kind of corruption ism which has been very good for them and very bad for everybody else in the country and this really has been the problem for tightish the population has been afraid of change but they also have been afraid of further poverty and despite promises of a new rose garden even the e.u. garden looks very bare at the moment and target is offering looks even more bare as a result. and don't hesitate to log on to our website for the stories you may have
