beginning to feel the pinch why are we still hearing from the israeli leader i think that put 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 israeli pressure. so 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 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 that what obama did with the swift sanctions is on the one to tell israel we are on board and you should just set aside by actually and we are going to dictate the rhythm with regard to iran on the other hand there was a message which should 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 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 drive a wedge between the israelis and the americans between the americans in the europeans by coming up with those notions as to say yes so 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 conduit argument the final analysis of which of 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 difference of opinion between the israeli political leadership and security establishment no i think they are present that enough. 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 mossad. 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 prepared the israeli public for the ramifications if and when. what would be the political geopolitical ramifications of such an attack and another question ken is will go it alone my assessment is that israel should do that by itself if at all. 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 or are middle class citizens when it comes to the middle these are the ingredients where 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 rain in 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 of the sort of course but there are just huge 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 seeds of instability where you can weigh it 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 israel attacked iran 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 stories around i do not believe in but. it would be kind of a source of fuel spill. a nuclear iran. for many radical groups in the region. to start actually act in a different manner and now when they have to for you to back up. 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. moving across to syria israel has been surprisingly quiet and

inactive in terms of developments there is it because time is on israel signed all because it does not want to see of regime change there well i think there's there is pretty confused about that this is kind of a multi-ethnic multi-religious multilingual. 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 norm and that's we have had that in libya ready after the topping down of gadhafi we do see that in sinai. and other radical groups are capitalizing on that kind of situation and we have a 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 there is a war taking advantage because in that sense because you know what the 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 cannot influence or do something with that the ever changing region the top of the arab spring. as i said before i think is it 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 stone supporter supporters of israel in the west in the region are not there anymore isn't it time is now 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 kind of a modest 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 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 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't 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 some luck coonass or looking for india's which are beyond the scope of his control this is actually something of 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 there's no room there. got kind of a much more difficult middle east it's least you or strategically or geo politically speaking. egypt is not there anymore. to form as kind of a pro western staunch supporter of a more stable middle east. and i think and that's why i think israel should point out the kind of replacement so to speak 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 interim or partial agreements i think that we are getting back to one thousand nine hundred eighty 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 how. money is the last you need to if you travel this way. language is common.

hello again you're watching the sports and these are the headlines battle scars russia defending here coffin strike occurs you call feel the effects of a hard ball draw against poland to be your. class crunch games now the ones in portugal could go out of the tournament tonight if they lose against the germans and day. and its first blood to oklahoma against miami's the n.b.a. finals get underway. but first russia are recuperating at the european championships after their hard fought one one draw with poland last night both defending your teacher kovan alexander courage of sitting at the squad's training session today and nothing strenuous for take out the cars man this afternoon here cough watch part of it from the sidelines with ice on his knee strike alexander trained individually although neither are thought to be suffering seriously and should be fit for the final group game with grace on saturday russia still top group a after their draw with poland last night and watching it push richard. or russia's

one hundred percent record in group has been ended after a one one draw with poland but not all is lost for dick advocaat cyberspace still remain top of the group after two games or everything could have been so much better for the russians after hours ago if you can believe. striker grabbed his first goal of the tournament spur fine headed goal from a free kick or just 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 struct support russia into the league 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 goalkeeper and out of nothing really i mean poland hungary. created by marge. had a very swift counterattack and in poland a very good team going forward of course key has been to make some form for bruce and virgin blues 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 are called in our 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 tension now turns for russia to have a game against greece as i said russia top of the tournament top of the table with four points and they'll be looking at 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 almost all is lost for dickau by outside and they'll be

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 set my a pretty down to his net of the year one miskin second minute penalty but germany went on to win two one thanks to goals from pulled right now and good 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 hundred eighty eight call it frank reichardt and marco van bastien produced stellar displays to beat germany one nil 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 b. and the latest mass quartering encounter between germany and holland has yet morsi . i think ns as defeat for the dutch would almost certainly see them knocked out 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 side were expected to overcome denmark in the first round but despite a plethora of chances from robin van persie and robin and substitute classy on 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 christiane a renowned lead portugal to follow the door to change dark the germans are very strong but we can also make them feel unsettled but it 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 a game of few chances as germany wrapped up a necessary one no win over disappointing portugal and with denmark to come off to holland. phillip lomond co and i were 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 bush beating good needle and 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. medalists 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 but. for that kicks off their mark face portugal interview for the portuguese needing a result to keep alive their hopes progressing from the group of death bentos men suffered of one they'll defeat germany in their first game in a struggling to find the back of the net we're now there hasn't scored for them since november and the team that only lit up the scoreboard twice in their 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. but it's again just as important to the danes after their shock when over the dutch victory tonight would put them into the last eight of the competition and are expected to fail the same side that got them the 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 its soul was but you have the points but. reborn 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 going to be looks denmark and germany are on three points there the other team yet to get off the mark with two games left. now moving to basketball in 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 the man of the match with the thunder breaking in thirty six points his teammate russell westbrook added another twenty five to help the home side to one hundred five ninety four victory would take place on thursday in oklahoma. they came all

far personal. knocking down shots you know just wanted to continue to keep. so long. every time a coach just played order play harder. and that's what we do you know the game so you just had to make sure you know every time we got a good shot or a difference which is you know got to get to this point or we are. finally a fourteen year old boy is set to become one of the youngest ever plays at golf's u.s. open and the zhang was handed the place of the second major of the year after an injury forced paul casey to drop was born in china but moved to america four years ago and these incredible talent for his age nurtured at the david led better cademy in florida he did well enough to read at a recent usa been qualified to go on the stand by list for this week's major six feet tall and one hundred seventy four pounds he doesn't look he's aged but he's

al qaida is the number two voices is backing for syrian rebels over their fight against the government but a new video that's been released just to wake of the washington claimed he'd been killed. is growing condemnation of polish hooligans after the attack russian football fans during euro twenty twelve in warsaw it led to bloody clashes and the arrests of around one hundred fifty locals. and while julian assange awaits britain supreme court decision on whether it will reopen his extradition case the u.k. involves a new bill that could prevent potential whistle blowers from speaking out. supplies in the u.s. opposed to broad decline oil prices turn up and the russian markets managed to end the day on a very positive note more on that at twenty. four
