7:02 pm
i mean you can easily tell a football supporter from someone who's looking for trouble and there were a number of casualties read reports from ten people have been taken to hospital and they've been around one hundred arrests and unfortunately. there was trouble brewing as i left the stadium is a very short walk from the stadium where i'm speaking now and you could hear some of. you saying things which could provoke the situation the russian fans were very well deserved it didn't respond to these provocations. unfortunately i'm sure it's bound to happen it's going to be more trouble in the city centers both groups of supporters heads of abbas in the city center and really i think unfortunately it's just going to be a recipe for disaster. you can find more photos videos online from where the trouble kicked off in warsaw that's on our web site r.t. dot com. a mass opposition protest happened in central moscow today the demonstration gathered activists from all walks of russia's political life and went
7:03 pm
off peacefully in contrast to a violent rally last month the may protest saw dozens of injuries to protesters and police with criminal cases filed against the organizers artie's peter all over reports. we saw tens of thousands of people demonstrating on the streets of moscow they came from all across the political spectrum in the country from the far left to far right extremist groups i have to say the the nationalists and far right groups were amongst the the largest in attendance now while i was take walking with those demonstrators along that route i did see several amongst the group of nationalists wearing variations on all nazi uniforms including one woman wearing a take on the s.s. uniform including a a banner around tehran bearing a russian nationalists symbol of course these people did come from all across the political structure is i say they came to voice their displeasure with the russian
7:04 pm
government this demonstration went off incredibly peacefully i didn't see anything like the violent clashes we saw during the previous protests in moscow in may of this year now then we saw the demonstrations really hijacked by radical groups and we saw clashes which resulted in both the demonstrators themselves and police being injured now that resulted in the apartments the homes of the leaders of the protest movement having their houses search to see if they were involved in organizing those violent attacks and we also saw changes to the law here in russia regarding what punishments would be in place for those breaking the law during demonstrations the government saying that they did this to bring the fines and the the sentences in line with other european countries which means you could see a fine for severe breaking of the law we're talking about things like causing
7:05 pm
serious damage to people and property here of us as high as seven thousand year old fortunately we didn't see any of that type of violence today in this protest when. still pretty much without a hitch despite the weather. syria now in a state of civil war according to the head of the u.n. peacekeeping operations there this is observers aboard an inspection mission after coming under fire when they tried to enter the town of hoffa for more on the situation there we go to war correspondent marina live in new york she often works with the u.n. and is covering this story now the world body is calling the syria conflict a civil war now what is the impact this is likely to have the security council. that's right actually it was the a u.n. peacekeeping chief of a lot sue who recently made those comments saying that the conflict in syria is now a civil war he is the first you want to fishel to have made that type of declaration following the fifteen months of violence taking place and ask leading
7:06 pm
in syria now of course his words can carry a lot of political weight inside of the security council where the u.s. and its western allies are pushing for sanctions against the assad government now this is been a campaign ongoing for months now the u.s. pretty much leaving it trying to get russia and china to agree on international sanctions against a president here and president bashar al assad up until this point russia and china have opposed any type of international pressure in the in the form of sanctions instead referring to kofi annan six point peace plan and fully supporting that so of course these statements coming from a top u.n. official declaring civil war in syria can be a game changer within the security council in the days ahead now with you and
7:07 pm
observers repeatedly coming under attack does this endangered the existence of the mission and with the future of the peace plan entirety. of course in teachers the mission because you have to remember that ninety day mission three hundred unarmed observers in syria was adopted under the idea that there would be a ceasefire in syria if there is no ceasefire what is there left for the un observers to be monitoring and that is something that the u.n. peacekeeping chief mr locke's you also stated we should mention that the u.n. said that three u.n. vehicles were fired upon when monitors were trying to enter the syrian town. tuesday according to the u.n. and the crowds were throwing rocks and metal rods at the u.n. cars and also there were shots fired at the cars nobody was injured but clearly
7:08 pm
this increases the amount of danger surrounding the u.n. peacekeepers that are in the country to observe suppose that cease fire that was supposed to be implemented back in august next month this ninety day mandate for the syrian mission the u.n. syrian mission expires and some council members it may not be willing to renew this mandate if they feel that the u.n. observers will be in danger if they are in syria which has now been deemed a civil war and finally we're you know with each passing day we hear increasingly horrific reports of atrocities going on in syria how much pressure is there right now for an intervention into this. well there's been a lot of comments made recently by the u.s. ambassador to the united nations susan rice saying that if there cannot be consensus reached within the security council in the coming weeks on how to add
7:09 pm
more pressure on the syrian government then some countries will have to consider taking unilateral action outside of the council outside of the authority of the security council what that action may be is not clear but we did hear the french president in recent weeks also saying that military intervention could be an option if nothing changes if the violence does not recede in any way and of course there was another report that came out this today rather by the u.n. secretary general ban ki moon listing violence. in different cities throughout the world and in that report by the secretary general he said that kids in syria as young as eight are being used as shields so clearly this puts this paints a darker picture of the circumstance in syria and also the tox taking place against
7:10 pm
the u.n. monitors show was arguably that some parts of syria do not fully trust the u.n. presence there so you have a lot of chaos breaking out throughout the country it's not new but it is asking leading and of course now the first u.n. official has a has declared a civil war in syria so course this is a story that will be developing in the coming days absolutely thank you very much argues marina for us from new york thanks for that update. or if he's worried if the notion is in damascus she brings us more about what's happening on the ground in syria. un morning to us have reported a heavy surge in recent weeks of rebels called the nation and attacks in response they say the syrian government has given the army too much freedom and too much free reign and that old. dramatic increase in civilian dads one of the real most stark and the recent example of this fresh wave of violence here in syria is
7:11 pm
a happy to reboard moment of the rebel stronghold backed by helicopter strikes in the central province of holmes and again we've been receiving conflicting reports on exactly what happened there with opposition claiming the syrian army has been targeting and shall in the residential areas of the town and while the government has been accusing the rebels of using civilians as human during these attacks death toll yesterday alone stood at sixty three people according to opposition sources with more than third of them army soldiers with a surge of violence has been seized on by nato chief hinting at a possible intervention mr rasmussen has compared the events in syria today with those in the balkans during the nine hundred ninety s. that led to nato is bombardment of former yugoslavia we've also been hearing a lot about military intervention recently from both you and nato member britain foreign secretary william hague has sad that this scenario cannot be ruled out
7:12 pm
because also stressed that this up to assad to decide whether he wants to seize the violence and all atrocities in his country and fulfill the rebels' demands at the same time we know hague has stressed that britain is the way over al qaida terrorists operating in syria saying that the international terrorist organization could fuel the violence and could fuel this conflict so to that and the west's message is somewhat muddled that assad is not responsible for all violence here in his country but he is being held responsible regardless. where you expound or julian. songe has asked britain's supreme court to reopen the case regarding his extradition to sweden almost two weeks after losing his appeal there his lawyers challenge a decision saying it was based on a legal point they weren't given the chance to challenge in court the famous mosel blower is wanted in sweden over sex crime allegations but his supporters fear the extradition will just be a step toward handing him over to the u.s. recently has contacts and acquaintances experienced evidence of the pursuit of
7:13 pm
a songe some of them being held for questioning to clearly after taking part in his program broadcast on r t people watch the latest edition of assad just show throughout the day this time around he asked these activists from the cypherpunks movement about the invisible war they say is being waged on line for internet freedom. of the fundamental things that cypherpunks written recognizes that the architecture actually defines the political situation so you have a centralized architecture even if the best people in the world are in control of it no matter where we look we can see especially with financial systems that that effectively even if the people have the best of intentions it doesn't matter i mean the architecture is the truth it's true for the internet with regard to communications the so-called lawful intercept systems which are which is just a nice way of saying spying on people so you can use it yeah absolutely that's what a lawful murder you've heard about a lot of the rights on american citizens by the u.s. president obama you know when he killed on laura locky sixteen year old son in
7:14 pm
yemen that's it lawful murder or targeted killing as they put it right so so-called lawful intercept is the same thing you just put lawful in front of everything and then all of a sudden because the state does it it's legitimate but it's in fact the architecture of the state that allows them to do that at all and it is the architecture of the laws and the architecture of the technology just is the same as it's the architecture of financial systems and what the cypherpunks wanted to do was to create systems where we could compensate each other in a truly free way where it was not possible to interfere. if you watch the second part of a sign just talk with the cypherpunks activists later this hour on r.t. and if you missed the first. or any of the other episodes that we've aired you can find it all on our website r t dot com. rescue package for spanish banks will come with strings attached that's the message from germany's chancellor who said the help will be tied to reforms in the banking sector and this contradicts comments from the country's prime minister who indicated that one hundred billion euros of financial aid was different from the conditional ballots of other states political
7:15 pm
risk consultant john holzman says it's getting harder and harder for politicians to make investors believe the strategy affected. the point is that of course the germans are going to part with their money without conditions mrs merkel has a very tough political scene or sell and if she were said to just give the spanish one hundred million euro the people in germany would think she'd lost her mind so they're going to be conditions of course the trick is going to look over spanish banks of course there's going to be conditionality the e.u. level and the spanish and what's happening is you see the politics of this getting harder and harder this is miracle needs that conditionality the spanish government can't hope to survive if there is that conditionality they've lost control of the story in the beginning to believe this nonsense the crisis is followed a pattern they've been frantically bailouts for greece portugal ireland and spain and what's happened is that after every day allow the amount of time it takes the markets to read the fine print realize that indeed this is nonsense it isn't all said get smaller and smaller and smaller so we've gone from two months to two weeks
7:16 pm
two days and in the case of spain it took literally two hours for things to turn around this is by far the end from the from the in the story later in our program u.s. economist nouriel roubini the man who predicted the global financial crisis shares his insights on the future of the euro zone here's a preview. it's openly agrees that the situation could become these or that in the eurozone like at these all of the early the fall the nag's it. contains only iran on the banks i mean play and then there was monica voxer us and then they have an. that is the doctrine of the senate and that's not sufficient a few years down the line they also i guess of the eurozone in which case the eurozone you know breaks up and you could have a significant european and a global you know financial turmoil and then you could end up like japan with long terms like a nation if not another depression it's a risk i. u.s.

7:21 pm
thank you very much for your time in two thousand and six you predicted that there would be a deep economic crisis and six years later we're still in it now did you expect it to last so long that it would be so deep and where all we middle in the beginning or maybe there's light at the end of the tunnel and the krises morphed into thousand and six was a problem of too much leverage of the private sector how's olds buying sponsored.
7:22 pm
now as a result of the response to their cries is scott's theme of those bailing out banks and others over their massive surgery that in their seats and now there is a risk of conferees as opposed to india be the world's are bangs going badly are being solved in various kind of halting as already happening in greece and unfortunately when you have to watch private in public that he takes a long time up to a decade or two to be leveraging good means. to save more to reduce that over time and that implies that more we can all the good old high unemployment rate and some degree of source of it probably because of the instability of happiness so we are able to i would say. you know these. are all different try that a session. the eurozone that is called the faults by governments is going to stay with us for a number of years if you gave a percentage of
7:23 pm
a chance of greece exiting the euro zone how much would that be and would it be good for greece to come out of the euro zone i would say you know by next year or i would say there is a probability that greece exit the euro zone thinking about actually even if they like not in june the new government is going to try to form comics which is becoming so little that they will exit and i would say that it could be good for them as long as the exit is all of the only. means of the. on that actually called local believe that are still a good old historic set of ballance of course they'll be damaged the banks damage the savings of people in their banks and that's why they need more funding to make sure that in all these old believe the contagion of the rest of the eurozone is i'm all there so if they can see it that way and it's fine and so there's all of the really probably it's a manageable look on the bags of many books including yours have been written as to
7:24 pm
the reasons behind the housing market collapse in the united states what about in europe would you put the most blame on and how much is brussels to blame for what's happening right now so you know sometimes people tend to say the eurozone problem is because of lack of fiscal discipline or fiscal reckless that is that applies to be the really only the greece see as a reason to lie then that this is a fifteen percent of g.d.p. . deficit and then that led to the fiscal crises that are actually in that spain in the island was the private sector that eventually led to the problems of having to bail out the banks large their fears of the crater the fiscal problem was all the fiscal problem the first place. so you know you cannot generalize there are different types of crisis within the eurozone not all of them were necessarily prevented by excesses in. public sector of several of them would have been occupied by excesses in the private sector because of poor regulations provision of the
