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 is kind of a byproduct of an israeli pressure. so it's because israel actually threatened. to militarily attack iran. 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 it sort of takes things now since obama and the american ministration would not like the idea of having kind of an imbruglia go in the middle east before november i think is what obama did with the swift suctions 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 stalemate but they lost 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 way to between the israelis and the americans between the americans and the europeans by coming up with those notions as to say yes we would like to actually listen carefully to what you all for 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 now let us 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 at this time this is the think israel should come up with don't talk actually about military solution how deep is this difference of opinion between the israeli political leadership and security establishment no i think they are presented. and one should take into consideration that these are the guys who are going to take the decision. not the people who use the seven 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 it 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 preceded 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 these as they needed were revolutions start or this is the point where revolutions start i think that the iranian 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 any rain in retaliation how effective would it be not that effective as to destroy israel or something of the sort of course but the remains 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 some sort of instability where you can wave comes to norman's lands in yemen in iraq even in north africa using hezbollah and he think american bases

in the gulf if the sun are unfolded that is on the tech team and there are nations that would help iran acquire a nuclear weapon is that of realistic scenario 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 israel i do not believe in but. it would be kind of a source of in. the nuclear iran. for many radical groups in the region. will start to actually act in a different manner now when they have kind of a nuclear backup. this is the thing so i'm not sure that the game is i mean no the main issue is in the question as you put it i think that what we have here is kind of psychological game 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 is that is pretty confused about that this is kind of a multi-ethnic multi-religious. linguistic state a state 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 normal incidents we have had there in libya ready after the toppling down of gadhafi we do see that in sinai. and other radical groups are capitalizing on that kind of 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 somebody 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 israel had had when it. i mean for the twentieth century i mean the closing decades of the twentieth century is a quite silent golan heights or border with syria. i think that israel is a spectator is that it can monitor. or do something with that the ever changing region non-o. on top of the arab spring. as i said before i think is or is confused or 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 this has to do with kind of a more this operandi by which israel should do something in syria of course not. it isn't should actually set clear what the. set of preferences is. but i think that israel should be much more a last stick more response 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 the syrian uprising has shifted toward suicide bombing if that is a sign of greatest terrorist involvement in the uprising on to syria and israel then fighting the same enemy in a way yes and this is what i meant before but you know i can find no 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 someone who knows or looking for india's which are beyond the scope of his control this is actually something a reach 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 as kind of a pro or western staunch supporter of a more stable middle east. and i think in this way i think israel should find out the kind of replacement sort of. thinking is also changing its tone in the recent

years. and is there will find the middle east this kind of i would say space or an area. where you can think of kind of a regional or comprehensive peace as was the case before but to just strive for having what i would call interesting or partial agreements i think that we are getting back pulling hundred forty million 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. money is the last you need if you travel this way. language is common.

voice backing for syrian rebels over their fight against the government in a new video released to washington. there's growing condemnation of polish. russian for. twelve bloody clashes in the restaurant a hundred fifty. from the supreme court decision on whether. reopening his extradition case the u.k. bill that could prevent potential blows from speaking out. with school next plenty of the year as well of course things hold up in the group of death threats really began the saving lots to look forward say that they could go through portugal. the competition along with the details just after this.

hello there welcome to the sporting these are the headlines battle scars russia defenders here cough and strikers you call feel the effects of a hard fought for or against poland the euro. class fighting to survive or the netherlands and portugal prepare for must win games against the germans and danes in the group of death. and it's the home against miami is 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 the founding of and striker alexander kook of sitting at the squads training session today nothing too strenuous but pick up the cars man the staff the newbie here called 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 final group game with greece on saturday russia still top group

a after their draw with poland last night and watching it with richard perfect. for rushers one hundred percent record in group 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. had given the lead. striker grabbed his first goal of the tournament spurs fine had a goal from a free kick just so this is within the mantra 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 or go of strong support russia interleague going into the half time break coming out of the half time 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 gold. a lot of nothing really i mean poland had really created by march. had a very swift counter sire come in poland

a very good team going forward. is going to make some form. of a 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. sharyn very well begin very little space in the space she did well to close down robin should walk up it was so effective against czech republic just a few days earlier or attention now turns for russia of a game against greece as a server russia the top of the tournament top of the table with four points will 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 finish on five points and would definitely qualify for the

latter stages so almost all is lost for the car 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 on board fleet r.t. warsaw. well in the other gaming group a the czech republic beat the two thousand and four champions greece to one in four of the czechs painting back from their opening four hundred feet to russia a goal from three get a check and votes that put them at senior level after just five minutes the greeks did pull one back through get cast early in the second half that the czechs managed to hold on and the win puts them second in the green ahead of their last match we say to clarify this is the table right here a point clear and all but bridge to the quarter finals while poland and the czechs native will know their math will also go through to the last day. now 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 story has even more significance as 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 on reach to their second european crown but in one nine hundred eighty eight ruud khalid frank reichardt and marco van bastien

produced stellar displays to beat germany one nearly in hamburg in the european semifinal and then lift 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 them not back 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 that van marwijk signed were expected to overcome denmark in the first round but despite a plethora of chances for robin van persie 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 rinaldo led portugal to follow. the germans are very strong but we can

also make them feel unsettled but i will tell you exactly how to do this yet while the dutch huffed and puffed but were. unable to find the target here can live side produce the author's it result mario gomez finally found the target after seventy two minutes in a game a few chances as germany wrapped up the necessary one no win over a disappointing portugal and with denmark to come off to holland. 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. to 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 at f.c. met list 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 demarcus face portugal in the v. for the portuguese needing victory to keep alive their hopes progressing from the group of death power bentos men suffered a one mil defeat to germany in their first game and are struggling to find the back of the net right now they 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'm 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 state 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 have a good game and i think they will take this within the game against us. advance it's years it's all was but you have the points but. be born 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's football but our way of playing is all trying to win. so this is how great he is looking mark and germany on three points that they're the two yet to get off the mark with two gangs 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 much for the thunder raking in thirty six points since team mate wrestle westbrook added another twenty five to help time side to one hundred five ninety four victories by game to take place on thursday and i go home and. they came off our personal. knocking down shots you know we just want to keep. so long. every time of course you just play or play harder. that's what we do you know the game so you just have to make sure you know every time we got a good difference 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.

i wish it was that so much i'm going to make a lot of people a variant of the look at moscow streets the homes protested in russia's topical for a wide variety of reasons one issue nights many of them are against the return. if you're followed up on my bill. and so on it's sort of a throwback and archaic part of. it goes back to a time when people would light 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 what company made. when they go out there he's got weapons. and you have to hope that nothing bad. loans. were chasing killers and you gotta keep that in mind others that to me a dollar bill please risk. not superheroes you can be killed today no base should

be in the head i'm going to die. and. once you've hunted manual never go back to us and anything else.
