from 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 you have to remember the. ninety day mission of 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 observers to be monitoring next month this ninety day mandate for this mission the u.n. syrian mission expires and council members 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. although the crisis has reached a new level but it's cool. and soon is. i think the situation has reached very dangerous proportions and there are civilians that are being killed and today we had some. there were some pictures of a horrible massacre is children have been targeted and innocent civilians and i think however it's not too late to i mean i am afraid that perhaps the statement given by the united nations may may be. a desperate call yet yes but it's not the end of the road there is still a chance to actually have a cease fire to have the plan that has been laid out in the past by kofi annan and implemented to have a ceasefire and go for the political dialogue there is no military solution they

cannot be a military solution and in fact what the western powers are calling for. military interference is is in insane initiative it would not lead to any progress in this situation it would only make the situation worse or coming out the decorated u.s. veterans keratin the true cost of battle throw away the medals earned fighting their country's wars we tell you why. spain gets squeezed by record high borrowing rates after investors failed to be convinced by the help offered to prop up its ailing banks. two hundred fifty polish football hooligans and twenty four russians have been arrested after poles attacked a march that was marking russia day which organized the head of their national team's euro twenty twelve encounter there's also post match violence which sore at least ten people injured ortiz which had been portrayed was that. the real trouble

started really a couple of hours before kickoff or russia had planned march from a city center service stadium in warsaw which is about two kilometers outside of the city center march was obviously given a go ahead by the local authorities but unfortunately the trouble started when russian fans started to reach the stadium as a bridge just a few hundred meters away from the stadium and polish fans really tried to attack the russian fans 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 red records for ten people have been taken to hospital 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 supporters saying things which could provoke a situation the russian fans were very wild reserve they didn't respond to these provocations but unfortunately i'm sure it's bound to happen. reaction now from

eric ostrowski who's the senior editor at poland's political magazine i thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. today here violence we've seen from supporters how do you assess security at the championship in poland well unfortunately there really is a jerk regular hooliganism in the polish. that's all the whole there was no be tragic. there are many arrests as you said. and finally nothing. many many years ago. but the russian fans were allowed to march to mount russia's national day on it with hindsight was it a mistake to grant permission for that no it was not in our legal system people who wish to go to the streets are free to go there is no need for them to seek any permission we are we are in three sides of the only thing to be fixed in city hall

was. the best and the best way on the. streets to choose there was no big choice and the second thing the second point my second wind holds little euro gains and consequently we are. we would welcome all our guests feel like oh. in that case why do we see so much apparent anti russian sentiment which wasn't in evidence during poland's first match with greece. because unfortunately people here confuse empty ration sentiments with anti soviet sentiments and the soviet sentiments are. totally justified in my eyes and you russian sentiments are not. good so. besides in their web polish in the polish internet. users

sergey made money first though of poland addressed to two russian apologies for as they say. it's easier it's taking your father a foreign no reason though there are just people looking to find where you have such people you have a society that's interesting because relations between russia and poland have certainly been a bit shaky in many areas a politically at least are you surprised that it spilled spilled over into a sporting event like this. i am not in fact i am not. so much because obviously we have some history grievance is. the young generation had st louis was that. good was what made sense i don't know who is the position of the communist

party in your state. paula giovanni's and of course we hate it and we are afraid of. it. ok we have to leave it there for now america chaucer starsky i should say from poland's political magazine thank you for joining us here on r.t. thank you eric. for more on what's happening at euro twenty twelve both on and off the pitch head for r.t. dot com you can meet all twenty three players in the russian squad sports section has full profiles of both the stars and newcomers international take. also r.t. dot com web freedom activist take their struggle against the stop online piracy at a whole new level of their own distinctive digital bill of rights.

a time when the culture surrounding whistleblowing be making big leaps forward the law could be set to take a big step back the problems being caused by this the enterprise and regulatory reform bill which is currently making its way through parliament and one small discrete line buried away in the text referring to a public interest test we were really worried that putting in a public interest test into the legislation will have. a chilling effect on the ability of workers to speak up a member of the international whistleblowing research network and an employment lawyer david lewis tells us the proposed test has dropped a bomb on whistle blame provisions the great virtue of the existing provisions is there's no public interest it was a very simple test as long as you had enormous motu if you could be sure it was that you would be protected now individuals who those claiming to use the provision will have to satisfy a public interest or make it very difficult for people to advise them the

government archy's that the changes are aimed at closing a loophole this meant that employees with personal grievances a for employment contract have been able to use the whistle blame provisions but the son this will be seen as just the latest measure making it harder out the truth. of course is the trend. which was very serious one crackdown in whistle blowing blowing the whistle have to differing degrees had their lives changed their reputations threatened or ruined their freedoms removed but in the process they've revealed secrets that the rich and the powerful never wanted us to know i was being told i was doing the wrong thing. and yet it felt so right for me and i knew that i was doing the right thing their battle highlights the importance of protecting whistleblowers and the public's right to know something they all say was well worth fighting for sarah r.t. . the world's most famous whistleblower julian assange launch is awaiting a u.k.

communications the so-called lawful intercept systems which are which is just a nice way of saying spying on people so you can use them. yeah absolutely that's what i 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's not 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 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. washington is again hitting out of iran accusing it of seeking dominance on the global stage with a nuclear weapons program runs you can negotiate a disputes the claims in an interview with t.

he says that the country he pono world as it is now has no future. the world is changing people are no longer willing to accept a reality where a few select powers can dictate the course of the world that the balance of power is shifting into the hands of the people the fact that some nations seek to retain power through military means that is being rejected the world wants a new border a new model where all nations and peoples would respect each other and that is what we've always stood for democracy never comes from violence with the help of violence through military means or occupation and those that claim to use violence to further democracy in the end they always admit that they had all teary a motive and that. they're using force is a method that some of the world's democracies continue to push for when it comes to dealing with terror and nuclear program both u.s. and israel are still mulling the feasibility of a military strike against the state within the next middle east expert with the

rather he explains why israel's threats are driving and toughening international sanctions on iran. i think that the israeli leadership is doing just to. capitalize on kind of a man to go with the sanctions first of all in the mind of many israelis the implementation of sanctions is kind of a byproduct of israeli pressure because israel actually threatened to militarily attack you this. or forced the european union and the americans. to come up with a watch that has the strict policy with regard to iran in order to appease israel this is how israel takes. the u.s. military has admitted that major mistakes were made during its wars in iraq and afghanistan in a report that showed flaws in training and policy they also highlighted

simply throwing them out in rejection of what those medals signify this is where we are disobedient. really get more recently this is demonstrated that joining the military is were not what they were told they would be. in these protests the veterans were joined by thousands of other americans also outraged with us wars the american people are angry they're frustrated and they don't know which way to turn anymore with presidential elections around the corner these veterans see real change can only come from the bottom up i didn't expect any changes in two thousand and eight when obama got elected and i surely don't expect any changes now those ones taking commands to fight on foreign soil now taking command of the bad. for peace at home. r t chicago illinois. well some other international headlines for you now there's been a series of apparently coordinated bombings across iraq killing at least fifty three people and injuring dozens of others four blasts targeted shiite pilgrims in

they're going to be conditions of course the troika 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 mrs merkel needs that conditionality the spanish government can't hope to survive if there is that conditionality they've lost control of the story and they're beginning to believe this nonsense the crisis has followed a pattern they've been phrenic bailouts for greece of portugal of ireland and now spain and what's happened is that after every bailout the amount of time it takes the markets to read the fine print realize that indeed this is nonsense it is an all set gets smaller and smaller and smaller so we've gone from two months to two weeks to 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 from the end of story. still economics it's now time to join katie on the business desk and understand that calling for russia's help to save their banks it isn't it comes off to moody's cut the ratings
