a new bill that could prevent potential whistleblowers from speaking out. now despite all eyes being focused on syria another war may be on the cards in the region as the israeli iranian standoff continues to simmer israeli political expert was the rabi shares his views on how the situation is likely to develop. what we now have professor was involved be the director 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 since the implementation of the swift sanctions a couple of months ago i think there is a 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 you ran is beginning to feel the pinch why are we still hearing from the israeli leadership i think that what the israeli leadership is doing is just to. capitalize on kind of a man to deal 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 israeli pressure. so 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 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 we are indians 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 and 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 learn to 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 it 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 presented. one

should take into consideration 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 will you 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 will go it alone my assessment is that israel should not 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 any rain in retaliation how effective would it be not that effective to destroy israel or something in 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 would be the retaliation policy of the iranians is to install kind of i would say seeds

of 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 there are nations that would help iran acquire a 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 a nuclear backup. 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 a 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 state as 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 incidents we have had there in libya ready after the dropping down of

gadhafi we do see that in sinai. oh and other radical groups are capitalizing on that kind of situation and whenever you have a weak central state and this is exactly kind of a byproduct of the toppling of the dictator we're 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 israel had had to win it. mean for the twentieth century i mean the closing their gates of virginia century is a quite silent golan 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 the top of the arab spring. as i said before i think israel is confused it 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 on 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 more this operandi by which israel should do something in syria of course not. is or 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 the uprising and syria and israel then the fighting the same enemy in a way yes and this is what i meant before but you know i can't point 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 his 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 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 as kind of a would say space or an area. where you can fink of 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 nine hundred 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.

hello there thanks for watching and this is what is coming up over the next few minutes crunch going to the netherlands and portugal could go after the torment tonight if they lose against the germans and danes russia punished after plans are caught on camera attacking stewards at the euros. and it is the first blood to oklahoma against miami's the n.b.a. finals get underway. get straight to the action though at the u.s. where portugal now a defeat against denmark tonight could end their tournament and it is the portuguese who have a few one later time was half time is approaching preparation and push to go ahead put the portuguese two up and nicklas bendtner has just got one back for their mark

just before the break there denmark what might the quarter finals in the unlikely event of coming back to win this one this going will be followed by the netherlands against germany the dutch also needing a result to keep their tournament alive while the germans know a win would see them into the last day with the build up in ukraine is quite partridge. one of football's most famous rivalries as we know it began at the world cup final in one thousand 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 goal keeper set my a picket out of his net after johan 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 on rich. to their second european crown but in one nine hundred eighty eight route khalid frank reichardt and marco van bastien produced stellar displays to beat germany won nearly 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 b. and the latest mass watering encounter between germany and holland has yet more significance as defeat for the dutch would almost certainly see them not down 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 krohn 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. 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 opposite result mario gomez finally found the target after seventy two minutes in a game a few chances as germany wrapped up a necessary one no win over disappointing portugal and with denmark to come after holland feinstein philip 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 we are speeding big 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. meanwhile you a for has fined the russian football union one hundred fifty thousand dollars after russian fans attack stewards during the country's don't match against the czech republic the russian fans were filmed fighting with stadium staff and fought after their team's four one victory happened after trying to detain a man they believe had thrown a firecracker the way for says russia could also be docked six points in the twenty sixteen qualifying group for a repeat offense meanwhile one hundred fifty podium fans around thirty russian fans have been arrested so far following violence before and after last night's one one

draw between the country. while russian players are recuperating after their hard for a draw in warsaw both defending your issue of an alexander courtesy call of sitting at the squad training session today called watch part of it from the sidelines with ice on his knee while striker alexander trained individually although neither are thought to be suffering seriously and should be fit for the final group game with greece on saturday russia still top group a after last night's game and watching it with richard rand paul flee. 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 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 or go it had given them the lead as moscow striker grab this third goal of the tournament will find headed goal from a free kick just as we have in the match with 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 then it's a go of struct 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 attempts at goal weren't able to beat the polish goalkeeper and out of nothing really i mean poland hungary created by march. had a very swift counter zajac i'm in poland a very good team go. forward of course ski has been make some form for bruce and receive dortmund in virginia but as leader struck a fine efforts from just outside the penalty area which gave more fear of absolute no trans 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 size 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. care for colvin are sharp in very well begin very

little space and especially did well to close down robert schalk of it was so effective against 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 all in all most all is lost for dick advocaat side 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 big czech republic two thousand and four champions greece to want to love the czechs bouncing back from the opening four one defeat to russia a goal from petty here to check on. that putting them to last just after five minutes the greeks did pull one back to get us early in the second but the czechs

managed to hold on and win puts them second in the group ahead of their last match with poland so to clarify all that russia a point at the top at all but through to the quarter finals while poland in the czechs know the winner of their last match will go through to the last eight. maybe 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 you round was the man of the match for the thunder raking in thirty six points his teammate russell westbrook added another twenty five to help the home side to one hundred five ninety four victory going to take place on thursday in oklahoma. became far personal. shots you know we just wanted to continue to keep my 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 we got

a good defense which is you know got to get to this point or we're going to do that . finally a fourteen year old boy is set to become one of the youngest ever pays it gulfs u.s. open. was handed a place of the second major of the year after an injury force england's paul casey to drop out jan was born in china but moved to america four years ago and he's an incredible talent present age nurtured at the david led better academy in florida he did well enough at a recent u.s. open qualify 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 it's age but he's lapping up every minute of this experience and certainly learned a lot during a practice round with masters champion bubba watson. the hardest course ever but. they were really nice to me. like whenever i have questions to show me like. they're for me and show me how to play a few shots the strategy and they're just really nice to me because. it was fun it

was fun getting a medium in and watching a talent like that i mean he's a big boy for fourteen and he can get a pretty good so so that's cool for the moment portugal do the damage to one at half time in the european championship game tonight we'll have the full time school a little. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations rule the day.

culture is that so much i'm afraid we're going to make it into a lot of people a variant of the look at moscow streets thousands protested in russia's capital for a wide variety of reasons but one issue nights many of them are against the return . you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so horror lengthly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear sees some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harvey welcome to the big picture. to me soon which brightened if you knew about song from phones to christians.
