attacked by russian fans i mean i've been following the russian team for quite a long time and a lot of the fans in this march they were just purely football supporters and 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 polish supporters. 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 is. going to be more trouble in the city centers. can find more photos and footage from where all the trouble started in the polish capital on our website r.t. dot com. a mass opposition protest happened in central moscow the demonstration gathered to activists from all walks of russia's political life and went off peacefully in

contrast to a violent rally last month in may protests saw dozens of injuries to protesters and police with criminal cases filed against the ringleaders artie's peter 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 sue 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 as i say they came to voice their displeasure with the russian

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

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 and this protest went off 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 operation there this is observers aboard an inspection mission after coming under fire when they tried to enter the town of haifa artie's marina porton is following developments at the u.n. . the u.n. peacekeeping chief of a lot to who recently made those comments saying that the conflict in syria is now a civil war he is the first you want to show to have made that type of declaration following the fifteen months of violence taking place in escalating 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 been pushing for sanctions against the assad government

now this is a campaign ongoing for months now with the u.s. pretty much leading it trying to get russia and china to agree on international sanctions against president bashar al assad until this point the 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 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 u.n.

observers to be monitoring and that is something that the u.n. peacekeeping chief mr lots to 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. on tuesday according to the u.n. the crowds were throwing rocks and metal rods at the u.n. cars and also there were shots fired at the car. nobody was injured but clearly 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 this 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 there's a growing international concern after the u.n. reveals reports of government troops and militia using children as human shields and syria descends further into civil war or to use more if an ocean reports from damascus. you earn more interest have reported the heavy surge in recent weeks of rebels called a nation and attacks in response they say the syrian government has given the army too much freedom and too much free rein and the lads too dramatic increase in civilian dads one of the remotest stark in the recent example of this fresh wave of violence here in syria is a happy hour 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 inshallah in the residential areas of the town 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 they were in the nine hundred ninety s. that led to 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 because also stressed that this up to assad to decide whether he sees 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 aware over al qaida terrorists operating in syria saying that the international terrorist organization could fuel the

violence and could fuel this conflict so that and the west message is somewhat muddled that assad is not responsible for all violence here in his country but he is being held responsible regardless. weeks for joining us. britain's supreme court to reopen the case regarding his extradition to sweden almost two weeks after he lost his appeal there his lawyers challenge the decision saying it was based on a legal point they were not given the chance to challenge in court the same as whistleblower 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 a songe some of them being held for questioning particularly after taking part in his program broadcast here on our t.v. you can watch the latest edition of the show throughout the day as he asks activists from the cypherpunks movement and the invisible war they say he's being with the online for our internet freedom. cypherpunks written recognises 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 those 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 a lot of 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 yemen that lawful murder or targeted killing as they put it right so so-called lawful intercept is the same thing you just put lawful as part 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. he can watch the second part of his son just talk with the cypherpunk activists in the next hour on r t if you. missed the first part that aired last week it's available online at r t dot com. ratings agency fitch has downgraded eighteen spanish banks further adding to the country's economic woes this is the german chancellor on the merkel revealed the rescue package for spain's financial sector will be tied to banking reforms this contradicts comments from the spanish prime minister who claimed one hundred billion euros of financial aid differed from the balance given to other states put it all risk consultant john holzman says it's getting harder and harder for a you politicians to make investors believe their strategy is effective. 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 trade 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 america leads 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're in for any bailouts for greece portugal ireland no 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 two days and in the case is literally two hours for things to turn around this is by far the end from the from the end of the story the u.s. military has admitted to mistakes committed during its wars in iraq and afghanistan a pentagon report says the strategic leadership repeatedly failed in its training

and policies colin powell's former chief of staff colonel larry wilkerson says things are going so badly in iraq that president bush had to take direct control over the war. i think there is a lot of soul searching going on a lot of post action analysis after action review if you will. and the military does this and the british military does it quite well to do better than anyone in our government and one of the things they try to look at is where things were done poorly where they were done badly where of operations failed where particular actions more productive weren't successful and so forth so it's not surprising to me that we're now finding some analysis that shows what we all knew in zero four zero five in zero six that things were going very well in iraq and for that matter and afghanistan to our king for a day i never would have invaded iraq things were going awry and badly in iraq that's why in two thousand and six president bush fired secretary rumsfeld and

essentially took over leadership and command of the battle himself. secure video teleconferences from washington for example would feature the pres in the united states almost consistently talking to the commander in the feel in iraq you might ask why did it take so long that's a good question i don't know why it took so long but by two thousand and six three years after the war had been initiated the president clearly knew things were going badly and changed and the principle change was manifested in the so-called surge strategy. turning now to some other stories making headlines across the globe as many as one hundred people feared dead after two earthquakes rattled northern afghanistan rescue crews continue searching for survivors after a tremor sparked a massive landslide burying dozens of homes damages been recorded across five districts with only a few people being show the light from the rubble the quake was felt as far south as kabul some one hundred seventy kilometers away. in northwest pakistan

a commander of anti taliban forces has survived an attack from a suicide bomber two of his bodyguards were killed the local tribal leader wasn't in his car when the explosives were set off two other people were injured in the attack that comes just days after a similar strike killed nineteen on a bus carrying government employees no one's claimed responsibility for either incident. egypt's former president hosni mubarak said to be in stable condition after doctors worked to revive him when his heart stopped that weiss but the country's official news agency denies that mubarak went into a coma as some more port suggested mr eighty four year olds health has more sinned over the last few days the former leader now in a cairo prison hospital serving a life term for his role in the killing of hundreds of protesters during last year's uprising. yemeni armed forces backed by local fighters have retaken two strongholds of the country's south from al qaeda linked militants the

islamist insurgents have held the cities for months to take advantage of last year's political turmoil yemeni officials are telling this latest victory as a turning point in the campaign against the militants. russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov heading to tehran less than a week before key international negotiations on iran's nuclear program start in moscow talks on the issue so far failed to produce any breakthrough with lavrov visit aimed at trying to bring about some progress reserve arashi research director for the national iranian american council believes lavrov meeting could be fundamental to the talks success. more diplomacy is almost always a good thing and when the permanent members of the security council the united nations security council plus germany sit down at the negotiating table with iran if there's no prep work that's done in advance of those negotiations then it essentially becomes a process that's tantamount to having a kitchen full of cooks and nobody has a spoon so laying the groundwork and taking care of some of the technical political aspects in advance increases the likelihood for an already difficult diplomatic

process to be more successful than it would be otherwise while the united states is spearheading a western effort to embargo if not outright reduce iranian oil exports and imports there are a host of other conflicts going on in the region there is economic instability in europe but there is also to ensure that countries like saudi arabia who have swing capacity when it comes to producing energy increase their output and maximizing the output that's been increasing in libya places like iraq and things like that getting countries off aronian oil oftentimes requires them to have a different refining process for different oil than iran's oil so it's a longer term process that they've been working on for a while now and we really are in uncharted waters so it certainly is the role of the dice that could come back to backfire particularly in an election year if the obama administration doesn't play its cards carefully. has been celebrating

a national holiday russia day drew more than thirty thousand people to a party in red square and across the city artes to say is more on the so abberations than the holiday itself. today marks twenty. russian federation so now we're talking about the fall of the soviet union back in one thousand and four years later this day june the twelfth was made a new fishel public holiday so that every russia can enjoy this day to celebrate who they are from their flags to their national it's all about celebration with. all of those from around the country will be here to entertain the crowd and of course some of the people. you wrote. lovely as always i mean everybody just just was so excited to see them every year russians are celebrated this did a very different three and this yes they've decided to stage this amazing concert so that everyone from young and old can come out here to the most popular place in

the in moscow and enjoy the celebrations and enjoy being russian on russian national day. of lines in a few minutes but first arche interviews the economist dubbed dr doom after he predicted the two thousand and eight financial crisis interview next.

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 we're 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. corporates now as a result of the response to their cries is scott's theme of those bailing out banks and there is their massive surge in public that and that sits and now there is a risk of contraries as opposed to individuals are bangs going bad contests are being solved in greece going to fall doing as already happened in greece and unfortunately when you have to watch private in public that it 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 social and political instability. so we are able to i would say. you know these. are all different. in the eurozone. the risk of a fall by governments is going to stay with us for a number of years if you gave a percentage of a chance of greece exiting the euro zone how much would that be and would it be good for greece to come out of years and i would say that you know by next theater i would say that is a probably the greatest exit the eurozone thing about and surely even if they like not into a new government there is going to try to go to for comics becoming so little that they will exit and i would say that it could be good good for them as long as the exit is all the only. means of then the. shown that actually called local could be

better 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 payson all these old believe and the contagion of the rest of the eurozone is small there so if it's done they could see it that way and it's finance and these are all of the really probably it's a manageable look on the bags of many books including yours have been written as to 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 problems because of lack of fiscal discipline or fiske that applies really the only only degrees c. has a reason to lie then. this is a fifteen percent of g.d.p. and the deficit and then that led to the fiscal cries is that actually in spain in

the island or was the private sector that eventually led to the problems of having to bail out the banks large their fears of the greater 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 the. several of them were the binocular by excesses in the private sector because of poor regulations provision of the bank of system to create a real estate then and i cried what is the present role of the brics nations this throng growth economies the world of being an emerging markets until recently the brics but that i was sold some of the rising power as you know of turkey in the asia you know or mexico's not just the brics what concerns about the briggs and other emerging market is in all of them for the federal reserve there is now a slowdown of growth you see it in china city and sitting in brazil is because you

are open and you are sort of slowing down if not constructing but in part of this because many of these companies are move their way. into the form of the four of them all the old growth companies about it for two as they state that he's too much government intervention they call on me too much for all of the state owned banks and all the enterprises too much protection is too much resource nationalism and over time that's a negative because it's going to slow down potential gold it's going to lead to a lot longer and become a grown up more of the bricks are actually growing in their own that actually in the next few years that's a risk that we have to consider what about russia's specific role because recently you said the russia correct me if i'm wrong that russia should not be considered as one of the brics nations and will never be included into the g eight if it continues with its with its basically protectionist policy what you know in the g eight you know your president decides not to attend the g eight summit because he said he was busy creating his own cabinet there was a bit of

a strange thing to do with like a snob you know in the case of the ponies you know russia's potential growth to date based on their statements by that put the call of your central bank is three and a half percent. time i mean the reason they were growing eight nine percent and now they're slowing down. so you have a. low potential girl that where there is you know not as much market oriented those thoughts sort of forum you have aging population there is a certain amount of lack of transparency that is sort of a month of co-op shown. in the party got system that is institutional weaknesses of course that also strength you know or a source is a good skill labor force is allowed to three could play an important role in the global economy by the thing that the important role of and that success is conditional on moving away from state got their ways and so the lesson is you know

open up the trade to investment flows of course i've got i've got a regime which is not fair but then having a stronger call a minister on policy pretty much brains that even it wouldn't times are bad then shocks would call from the rest of the globe what i call the me you're going to be able to back that up sword was chalk's rather than and turning into a severe financial crisis and that's the lesson thank you thank you very much mr a pleasure being reviewed. right. from stupid.
