hello there thanks for watching r.t. international our top stories al qaeda is number two voices backing for syrian rebels over their fight against the government in a new video that's been released a week after washington claimed he'd been killed. it was going condemnation of polish goodness after they attacked russian football fans during euro twenty twelve in warsaw it led to bloody clashes and the arrest of around a hundred fifty locals. while julian assange waits britain supreme court decision on whether it will reopen his extradition case the u.k. moles a new bill that could prevent potential whistle blows from speaking out in future.

back to syria despite all eyes being focused there another war may be on the cards in the region this time as the israeli a rainy and standoff continues to simmer israeli political expert robbie shares his view next and about that and how he thinks it's going to shape up. with me i have professor. of the most advanced center for middle eastern studies at tel aviv university professor thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. my pleasure the israeli defense minister recently said that israel would not be duped over negotiations regarding iran's nuclear program do you think that sanctions have been effective here i think that since the implementation of the swift sanctions a couple of months ago i think the progress so i think that what the message is pretty clear in two thousand and twelve we are having a different ball game. and iran is realizing that if it is not going to

comply it would be very pricey for iran if iran is beginning to feel the pinch why are we still hearing warwick track from the israeli leadership i think that what the israeli leadership is doing is just to. capitalize on kind of a man to man with the sanctions first of all in the mind of many israelis especially those leaders you're talking about the implementation of sanctions it's kind of a byproduct of an israeli pressure. so it's because israel actually threatened. to militarily attack iraq. this was all forced the european union and the americans especially the americans to come up with a much more let us say strict policy with regard to iran in order to appease israel this is how israel takes think now since obama and the american ministration would

not like the idea of having kind of an im broadly go in the middle east before november i think is what obama did with the swift sanctions is on the one to tell israel we are on board. and you should just set aside now actually and we are going to dictate the rhythm with regard to iran on the other hand there was a message would be there was sent to iran that it's going to be very pricey so basically it could cut either ways but i think that what we stand now is kind of a stale me but the last just one more no i think that what the iranians are doing and this is very very typical of their diplomacy they are trying to bribe the wage between the israelis and the americans between the americans and the europeans by coming up with those notions as to say yes so we would like to actually listen

carefully to what you offer a we have offers on our side is that enough to satisfy the israeli leadership or could we still see as well as attacking iran i think it is unlikely. first of all i'm pretty sure that until november nothing will happen in that regard and even after november we are going to have the same problem there are many say figures or public figures like the former head of the mossad and others who are coming up with kind of a contra argument the final analysis of which at the bottom one of which is at least this time this is the think israel should come up with don't talk actually about military solution how deep is this differences of opinion between the israeli political leadership and security establishment no i think they are present that if . one should take into consideration these are the guys who are going to

take the decision. not the people who used to serve in the more sun. or the army or whatever but at the same time i would say but there are many questions that are still open what's the volume of such an attack. how would prepare the israeli public for the ramifications if and when. what would be the political geopolitical ramifications of such an attack and another question can is all go it alone my assessment is that israel should do that by itself if at all. and my assessment is that israel has done. or came up with some moves that. i think personally that the west mainly the united states to be much more firm when it comes to iran and i think that will have to wait and see because in my opinion sanctions do work while sanctions working people are going to suffer and

people who are going to suffer are middle class citizens when it comes to the middle of these as they were revolutions start or this is the point where revolutions start i think that the uranian leadership realize that what they're going to do will have to wait and see but i will not be surprised if i would find kind of an discussion or even dissensions within the iranian political circles about how to proceed from now on what about anyway in retaliation how effective would it be that effective to destroy israel or something in the sort of course but you could just use their proxies in the region mainly hezbollah. using their rockets so what they will have in mind here and this will be the retaliation policy of the iranians is to install kind of i would say see total

instability where you can when it comes to normal slants. in yemen in iraq even in north africa using hezbollah and he think american bases in the gulf if the summary unfolded that israel attacked iran and there are nations that would help iran acquire nuclear weapon is that a realistic scenario or yeah i mean in a way that could be kind of a scenario that we're going to have or see there but i would say that the problem with a nuclear iran is not that iran is going to the story as well i do not believe in but. it would be kind of a source of inspiration a nuclear iran. for many radical groups in the region. will start to actually act in a different manner and now when they have kind of for you to back up. this is the thing so i'm not sure that the game is i mean you know the main issue is

in the question as you put it i think that what we have here is kind of psychological. moving across to so it is all has been surprisingly quiet and inactive in terms of developments there is it because time is on as well signed all because it does not want to see regime change there well i think that there's that is pretty confused about that this is kind of a multi-ethnic multi-religious multilingual sixty s. think which is comprised of many. different. religious and ethnic types and this is a state that could easily become what we call failed state which means a state that cannot control over all the territory and more often than not you have some flags or regions that are becoming kind of a norm is that we have had that in libya ready after the toppling down of gadhafi

we do see that in sinai. other radical groups are capitalizing on that kind of a situation and really you have a weak central state and this is exactly kind of a byproduct of the toppling of the dictator or we going to have a bunch of power centers so it seems to be more concerned with turkey than with his well how can syria be so sure that israel won't take advantage of its weakening i don't think that is a would take an advantage because in that sense because you know what the israel had had when it. mean for the twentieth century i mean the closing their gates of a twentieth century is a quite silent go on heights or border with syria. i think that israel is a spectator is a cannot influence or do something good about the ever changing region no top of the arab spring. as i said before i think it is confused it is or has just come up with kind of a strategy or at least

a set of tactics of how to deal with this new situation basically it is becoming much more difficult middle east for israel because egypt and turkey one time friendly and staunch supporter supporters of israel in the west in the region are not there anymore isn't it time is all makes a decision in terms of what's happening and so yeah i think that it is high time but i'm not sure that it has to do with going from what is operandi by which israel should do something in c. of course not. it isn't should actually set clear what. its set of preferences is. but i think that israel should be much more a last stick more responsive because what we're going to have in syria i think in two thousand and twelve maybe two thousand and thirteen is a real change in the syrian uprising has shifted toward suicide bombing if that is a sign of greatest terrorist involvement in uprising and syria and israel then

fighting the same enemy in a way yes and this is what i meant before but you know i can't find now for common denominator between bashar and israel what you say about those terrorist means that one should start thinking of bashar not controlling all over syria or having at least some luck coonass or lucky for india's which are beyond the scope of his control this is actually something which to better understand that. his situation in syria is deteriorating and in the long run he won't be able to just stand still what are the implications of the arab spring for as well i think that this will. got kind of a much more difficult middle east if least you're strategically or geopolitically speaking. egypt is not there anymore to form a scone of a pro or western staunch supporter of

a more stable middle east. and i think in this way i think israel should point out the kind of replacement service. took is also changing its tone in the recent years and is there will find the middle east as kind of a would say space or an area. where you can feel kind of a regional or comprehensive peace as was the case before but to just try for having what i would call interim or partial agreements i think that we are getting back to one thousand forty nine or nine hundred fifty s. when nobody talked about peace but we do talk about agreements professor thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. thank you.

comfort is the least you have. the money is the last you need if you travel this way. the language is common. you. the. emotions are intense. and experience priceless. if you're followed up on my day feel better than this. sort of a throwback and archaic part of our long. and it goes back to a time when people would wipe out of their forces in the wild west and pick up these future dates important to mention the sheriff from prosecution i don't think

much company may well feel guilty. and when they go out there he's got weapons. and you have to hope that nothing bad can. get. but we're chasing killers and you gotta keep that in my. how does the two million dollar deal with the rest. can be told to you know the head i'm going to die. once you. never go back to anything else. will do the trick science technology innovation all the list of elements from around russia we've got the future covered. sigrid laboratory. was able to build a most sophisticated robot which on fortunately doesn't give

a darn about anything. to teach me the creation and why it should care about humans and. this is why you should care only dot com. it is number two voices is backing for syrian rebels over their fight against the government and a new video released we come to washington claim to being killed. is growing condemnation of polish. russian football fans cheering euro twenty twelve more sore it led to bloody clashes and the arrest of around a hundred fifty locals. and why julian assange she awaits a break from the supreme court decision on whether it will be reopening his extradition case the u.k. bill that could prevent potential flows from speaking out. culture with sport how do you see the next plenty on the euros were of course things held up in the group of death yeah yeah that's right really big games this evening lots to look forward to the danes could go through portugal. the competition along with the dutch i got

the details just after this. hello there welcome to the sporting these are the headlines battle scars russia defenders your cough and strikers you call feel the effects of a hard fought draw against poland the euro. fighting for survival the netherlands and portugal prepare for a must win games against the germans and danes in the group of death. and it's the home against miami's the n.b.a. finals get underway. the first rush hour recuperating at the european championships after their hard for one one draw with poland last night both defending of and striker alexander kook of sitting at the squads training session today nothing too strenuous but pick up the cars man this afternoon but your call to start out part

of the session with ice on his knee while striker alexander could you call trained individually although neither thought to be suffering seriously and should be fit for the funk route game with greece on saturday russia still top group a after their draw with poland last night i'm watching it was rich poor thing. for russia's one hundred percent recording group a has been ended after a one one draw with poland but not all is lost for dick advocaat side as space still remain top of the group after two games or everything could have been so much better for the russians after hours ago it had given them the lead as moscow strike aircraft first goal of the tournament spur fine headed goal from a free kick what just says within the manchu of the czech republic russia did start slowly as the poles were on top but unfortunately they weren't able to turn their possession into goals and then struggle support russia into really going into the half time break or coming out after halftime russia continued to dominate and really could have had quite

a few more goals but unfortunately their position and numerous times that goal weren't able to beat the polish goalkeeper and out of nothing really i mean poland had really created by march they had a very swift counter-attack i'm in poland a very good team going forward and of course ski has been an excellent form. in the german bunds as leader struck a fine efforts from just outside the penalty area which gave more fear of absolute 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 we get very little space in the space she 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 the 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 all most all is lost for declared by 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. well in the other gaming group a the czech republic beat the two thousand and four champions creech to one in four of the czechs bouncing back from their opening four hundred feet to russia gold from a year to check on votes love that put them seen a lot after just five minutes the greeks did pull one back through get cast early in the second half but the czechs managed to hold on and the win puts them second in the group ahead of their last match with poland so to clarify this is the table russia a point clear and all but through to the quarter finals while poland and the czechs

know where no rule to go through to the last take. on wednesday perhaps the most anticipated of all the greek games takes place in harvey where the netherlands will take on great rivals germany and after the first round of matches in the so-called group of death this is a story even more significant says kate partridge now reports. one of football's most famous rivalries as we know it began at the world cup final in one nine hundred seventy four as legend has it the supremely talented dutch johan cruyff golden generation didn't let the germans touch the ball until goalkeeper sent my a pretty down to his net after johan miskin second minute penalty but germany went on to win two one thanks to goals from pulled right now and after german totally fish and sea plate dutch total football four decades of brilliance volatility and history followed in one nine hundred seventy eight holland game some revenge of the world cup a two two group game draw help then go on to the final where they lost to argentina

then germany won again in naples only each to their second european crown but in one nine hundred eighty eight ruud hulet frank reichardt and marco van bastien produced stellar displays to beat germany one nil in hamburg in the european semifinal and then list the trophy four days later while on wednesday at euro two thousand and twelve one of football's most thrilling rivalries will resume here in kharkiv in the second match in group a and the latest mass quartering encounter between germany and holland has yet more significance as defeat for the dutch would almost certainly see the not as of a tournament many had predicted they'd win. following on from their world cup adventure and impressive euro two thousand and twelve qualifying campaign their van marwijk side were expected to overcome denmark in the first round but despite a plethora of chances from robin van persie and robin and substitute class young huntelaar the dutch were unable to overturn michael crown delis first half opener and the danes held on for

a vital victory and severely dented the world cup finals chances are reaching the european knockout phase therefore only victory over germany will probably be enough especially with a cristiana renowned or led portugal to follow. dark the germans are very strong but we can also make them feel unsettled but i won't tell you exactly how we're planning to do this yet while the dutch huffed and puffed but were unable to find the target here can live side produce the off as it result mario gomez finally found the target after seventy two minutes in the game a few chances as germany wrapped up the necessary one no win over disappointing portugal and with denmark to come after holland feinstein philip lomond co and now in a strong position to reach the quarter finals however facing those dutch particularly a dutch team that has to win is never to be taken lightly. give me the land i think that the game against the netherlands is going to be a big test for us because they play high quality football this is one of the best

teams not only in europe but also worldwide it's been like this for many years and they're always getting better but we must win to reach the quarterfinals so it's a crucial game for us to whichever side wins f.c. medalist spider arena will certainly be adding to a piece of football history as german legend franz beckenbauer said matches against holland have cost me years of my life but i wouldn't have missed them for anything with so much at stake in this particular encounter i don't think anyone would argue . r.t. kharkiv ukraine. now before that kicks off a demarcus face portugal in livy for the portuguese needing victory to keep alive their hopes progressing from the group of death power bentos men suffered a one nil to think to germany in their first game and are struggling to find the back of the net right now though hasn't scored for them since november and the team have only it up the scoreboard twice in the last four games but they're confident it will be different this evening. no i think that it is certain that there will be

goals we will score if we create opportunities of course we will score sooner or later i am absolutely convinced by that. it is a game just as important to the danes after their shock win over the dutch victory tonight would put them in the last eight of the competition and are expected to feel the same side that got that opening victory you can also expect them to attack the portuguese at least that's the message from denmark's coach. they have a bad result but the supposed to have a good game and i think they will take this within the game against us. advantages years it's all was when you have the points but. be warned as we are used to do we are not trying to play only for one point we are always trying to play for winning . but if you afterwards can say ok we were the lucky one we had one point it's ok. but that's that way of playing is all trying to win. so this is a great day is looking mark and germany on three points that they're the two yet to

get off the mark with two games left. let's move to basketball in the n.b.a. finals where western champions oklahoma have got off to a great start in the deciding best of seven series against miami kevin durant was the man of the match for the thunder raking in thirty six points his team made russell westbrook added another twenty five to help time side to one hundred five ninety four victories by going to takes place on thursday and i go home and. take a more far personal. knocking down shots you know we just want to continue to keep. so long. every time of course you just play or play harder. and that's what we do you know it's a game so you just have to make sure you know every time we've got a good defense which is you know got to get to just play hard we got to do that that's old school for now i'm back with more with more buildup on the your eyes for

tonight's game. culture is that so much could be going to make it a lot of people a variant of the look in moscow streets thousands protested in russia's topical for a wide variety of reasons but one issue nights many of them are against the return . if you're followed up on my desk you'll go to the. county attorney's are sort of a throwback and archaic part of our law. and it goes back to a time when people would lie down in their forces in the wild west and pick up these fugitives and putting them into the sheriff for prosecution is the one thing one company man told. him when they go out there he's got weapons.

and you have to hope that nothing bad. will it. but we're chasing killers and you gotta keep that in mind others that to me a dollar bill for his arrest. but not super hero they can be killed two of you know of a shooting in the head i'm going to die. and. once you've hunted run you'll never go back to us and anything else.

good news a secret laboratory to mccurry was able to build a new its most sophisticated robot which all unfortunately doesn't give a darn about anything turns mission to teach music creation why it should care about humans and world this is why you should care watch only on the dot com. if. it would be soon which brightened if you.
