deal with the rest. without superhero we can be killed too enough to shoot me in the head i'm going to die. once you heard my news i never go back to know anything else. this is r t the headlines now. polish football fans show no hospitality attacking russian supporters ahead of a euro twenty twelve match with their one hundred thirty poles arrested. crackdown on whistleblowers the u.k. miles legislation which could make it harder and riskier people to expose lawbreakers. syrian civil war could break u.n. assessment as resurgent rebels take the fight to frantic efforts underway to salvage kofi annan peace plan. for the spite all eyes being focused on syria

another war may be on the cards in the region as the israeli rainy and the standoff continues to simmer when next we hear why an all out conflict would be catastrophic . with me i have to accept here the director of the military balance project at the institute for national security studies here in tel aviv thank you very much for joining us here in our to your work and when we sat down together a couple of weeks ago you said it was not in israel's interest to launch a military strike on iran why do you think israel should not strike when i don't think the. force is large enough is strong enough to actually. destroy the iranian. nuclear weapon project it might cause some damage but it would not. destroy it so it would not achieve anything do you think that the us would consider copper

eating with israel in such a strike but quietly it first of all there is no quietly in this issue because things would tend to come out sooner or later so to begin with. on the one hand i think president obama has not ruled out an american strike yet even though his military is very reluctant to get into another war in the middle east i don't think he would do it during an election year so can't that be a reason for it all to launch a strike now before there's a new american leadership in place there is. there is a future in the united states that that is what we are going to do that an israeli attack mode draw the united states into that war. probably prematurely. it would force the united states to get into

a war because an iranian counterattack would almost undoubtedly be targeted against the united states as well as against israel. so the united states would be drawn this would cause i think such an action without an american consent would cause a great damage to israeli relations strategic relations with the united states for an extended period of time do you think that the harsh sanctions recently declared against iran are enough to satisfy the israeli government not to launch a strike they might satisfy it for time being i think the general. attitude in israel is that sanctions are not enough and they're not going to convince iran even if they would be much or would not convince iran

not. to continue not to pursue nuclear weapon project how do you measure iran's capability to launch a counter attack iran has a cup ability of launching a missile attack on israel a direct attack on israel with few hundred thousand shihab me sides what would be the effect of not of such an attack what what is the accuracy of these missiles i don't know all. i don't suppose you would be worse off than we have been in one nine hundred ninety one when we were under iraqi missile attack them it was cost no one actually got killed but there's no guarantee that that is not going to be to happen we have now the arrow which we didn't have then which would be able to intercept. at least some part of these attacks

missiles attacks and the greatest damage would be as in the case of the. katyusha rocket attack the economic damage to erode because under such attack everything comes to a standstill and what about arab support for an israeli strike on iran you mentioned american involvement but surely israel also needs arab assistance in the form of landing rights and even feeling assistance many arab countries are very cautious of iran. for example saudi arabia has been urging the united states to attack iran for many years now they are terrified they really are terrified on the other hand assistant assistance to israel is still out of. out of their agenda in the open israel would have to fly over our country but

it has done so before and it can be done without their consent or with. cover consent we could get assistance or landing rights from countries like i don't believe saudi arabia would do it but the united states might do that. just remember that the distance from the united arab emirates to northern iran is as far as from israel maybe even longer so. this kind of a landing rights would be helpful only in case of attacking targets in thousand new round another. convert. might to be. might be but again problematic. might be given by

a judge which is on the north side of the rain and border they have good relations with israel trouble is that to get from israel to observers and you have to overfly turkey and at the moment i don't see with the current relations between israel and turkey i don't see the turks giving any israel any aid if we look across the border at syria why is serious so important for western nations could it be that it's the last obstacle before any invasion of iran that is a tough one why syria is important. is it important. to the west and the state i don't see any western country in the intervening in syria as they did in the if there is so much attention and focus on syria and particularly on me president bashar assad's handling of the situation so how do you

explain that where the. that would be expected from the west it's much closer to europe and with traditional relations syria had traditional relations with countries like france. and when such atrocities take place them and they cannot stay quiet is there a connection between what is happening in syria and what is happening in iran where there is a connection or obvious connection because iraq syria has been and the assad regime has been iran's closest ally for over two decades i mean. this is. the main route of iran into lebanon into into the whole region into influencing israel if us of the region falls apart. iran is standing to lose

a very strong alley because any government would take place it would take the government in syria whether it be a western ally and democracy which is not very likely or muslim muslim brothers who are sunnis of were very hostile to show. any rigi. would be either hostile to iran or far from corporate in with iran as much as the bashar assad regime has been so iran is standing to lose is the alleged supply of weapons to the syrian opposition enough to upset the regional arms balance right now no break no what would i hear i think saudi arabia's told to started to supplying them with weapons

but we're talking about like weapons so this as far as or as as long as that is what is happening i don't think this will change them in the balance of power in the middle east that they're still very weak is it possible that they can be simultaneous interventions in syria and iran doesn't seem likely i don't see the european european union or nato going into syria and i don't see the european union or nato. taking part in an attack against iran this could be nato could. cooed try to draw the europeans into attacking targets in iran doesn't seem very likely you have to accept here thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. you're welcome.

a time when people would write out of their forces in the wild west and pick up these future dates and putting them into the sheriff for prosecution i don't think much of the female almost killed. him when they go out there he's got weapons. and you have to hope that nothing bad can. get good. but we're chasing killers and you gotta keep that in mind how does the to me a dollar bill please the rest. were not superheroes we can be killed to you know they should be in the head i'm going to die. and. once you've hunted run you'll never go back to hunt anything else wealthy british signs on. time because.

no chance at all for the remaining half hours very very open and both teams had numerous chances to try and grab a winner but unfortunately in the end for dick of the count side they were held to a one one draw but to be honest i mean poland did play world they managed to close down russia's attacking trio of. kids or colvin are shot in very well they get very little space and especially did well to close down robert schalk of it was so effective against her czech republic just a few days earlier or attention now turns for russia to have a game against greece as a server russia top of the tournament top of the table with four points and they'll be looking to try and seal qualification with a victory which will mean they'll finish top of the group but in the way even a draw would suffice has been finished on five points and would definitely qualify for the latter stages so all in almost all is lost for dick a very outside and they'll be looking to try and book their place in the knockout

stages against greece in a few days' time richard onboard fleet r.t. warsaw. and another group a match was staged there between two thousand and four european champions greece and the czech republic now the czechs were looking to bounce back from that four one defeat to russia in the opening match and then made a blistering start goals from filter. people are put them off after just five minutes the greeks were able to reduce the deficit so one goal less than ten minutes after restart however that's all the team could as they now move bottom of group a and the czechs are now runners up. and moving on to basketball and the n.b.a. finals where western champions oklahoma got off to a great start in the deciding best of seven series against miami kevin durant's was instrumental for the funds are raking in thirty six points his teammates are russell westbrook added another twenty five to help the home side so

athletes have a number of sporting competitions privately pics to look forward to one of them being the annual moscow challenge a religiously new tournament which has been boosted by being clued in the twenty twelve international association of athletics federations world challenge competitions there are sixteen official events on the program ranging from pole vault and short put to various sprint events and despite attracting around eighty athletes from twenty countries many events at this year's most the challenge would dominated by russians. both the women's four hundred and eight hundred meter sprint showcased only russian athletes in the four hundred meters not beat out a fellow compaction its to win first place the four by four hundred meter sprint x. but was happy to have finally won after a lengthy medal drought but stressed that it was too early to focus on the olympics this. year which our event is so tough and we have so many strong girls that you

can see. so far ahead we have his her include the russian championships in order to relax and because it improves the coincidental lympics you need to run on the forty nine seconds otherwise it's still too time to call. in contrast current world champion media savvy never made light work over eight hundred meter victory and said despite all the upcoming events she already has one eye on the olympics. yes of course i'm looking to the olympics because i won't be participating at the european championships and i still don't know if i'll be at the russian championships if i do it will only be in preparation for the summer games now the moscow challenge is not only a dress rehearsal for the russian national team ahead of the london olympics it's also a first for the whole the lies of the twenty thirteen athletics will championship which will be held here in moscow at the luzhniki sport pilot for us it's very important event today because the states that given the poor world championships for next year in moscow first of all of course is the single horribly it's because
