where will the food come from. the future of under the microscope. now explosion. a full scale of. diplomatic attempt to end the crisis. so the london olympics while the u.k. is forced to draft more troops. they say is nothing more than. civilized.

but more importantly foreign policy this with a rather controversial. debated behind closed doors you're watching. today i'm in the parliamentary office of george galloway m.p. who around three months ago one surprise election victory in his constituency of bradford west george galloway thanks very much for talking to us today now your election your victory was a surprise to many possibly not to you what does it take to break a monopoly of these three ruling parties to win an election in british politics and everest of a challenge because first of all the big parties command almost all of the media attention and the media is the medium through which most people get their political

ideas news and secondly because you usually like a critical credibility factor people are doubtful that they would be doing other than throwing their vote away by voting for a candidate who may be closer to their cup of tea but are unlikely to win it and therefore the voters in a way taking a self-denying ordinance and the choosing of the m.p. but if you have this critical mass of. i mean i don't think that's too strong a war the derision felt in the country against the three mainstream parties often see if backside could have three cheeks these three parties are those three. the three mainstream parties are such that you couldn't slip

a cigarette paper between them they all accept that austerity is the medicine some quibble about the doors it and the the timetable of the taking of the medicine but they all accept that the mass of the people must pay the price for the crimes and the mistakes of the rich and powerful people secondly all of them support britain's role in going around the world invading other people's countries occupying them and big spending billions in some cases hundreds of billions of hard earned money that the people have sweated for. on weapons and war. and so if you can come along and say we don't believe the ordinary people should pay the price for this crisis and we don't believe britain should be occupying other people's countries first in the ranks of those pushing for a new invasion a new occupation as mr hague is doing over syria for example at the moment we just

reject that we are paradigm is completely different and it's like in the wonderful film dead poets society when the teacher invites the children to stand on the desk and see how different everything looks once you get people standing up on those desks they can see that actually the world looks very different from and you think that there's a why did disconnect between politics and the electorate the people the people hold the mainstream politicians in contempt they know that the mainstream politicians hundred. many hundreds of them almost all of them. are looting the people's pockets in parliamentary expenses which was a huge scandal. we have actually a systemic failure in britain the media is on trial the bankers are on trial the politicians have been put on trial and found guilty long ago so. who was

untouched by the expenses scandal didn't claim any expenses at all. and who have has a track record of attacking the mogul billionaire mogul ownership of the media and is seen as an anti political voice in the sense of being anti the political system. bingo we won we won the jackpot and you said in the past that muslims like you because you protect them from islam of faith. we recently had the director of m i five say that al qaeda is using arab spring nations to recruit terrorists and potentially target britain is there a point to islamophobia therefore to people have other people justified in their fear of islam if you know like any for it is irrational exaggerated and paranoid but that's not to say the extremism does not exist of course it exists and

exists in britain and it gets more and more. oxygen. as a result of the policies that the british government follows you can't make endless war against muslims and muslim countries abroad and expect to have no resonance here at home but actually we are the antidote to islamist extremism because we say to the young muslims you are right to be angry but be angry with others who are not muslims in democratic politics so that you can affect change rather than blowing yourself and other people are in these kind of terrible acts of self immolation that we saw on seven seven five years ago here almost to the day. the truth is al qaeda exists it was invented by the countries no most concerned about it it was invented on the principle bankrupt moral principle that my

enemy's enemy is my friend the soviet union was the enemy of the west so they gave weapons and money and credibility to an islamist fanatic formation and they didn't read the novel frankenstein to the end if they had they would have known that when you make a monster it ultimately breaks free of your control so there's no one to blame but themselves for this phenomena. of islamist extremism it comes out of a swamp of hatred saun by western countries and their policies towards the muslim countries therefore the best way to solve this problem is to drain the swamp of hatred and bitterness by doing the reverse of what we did to fill it there is a rise in islamist political parties there isn't that particularly in arab spring nations in the middle east and north africa what challenges do you think that poses for syria at the moment will a very large number of people in syria whether

a majority or not i don't know are terrified of the prospects of victory for the syrian rebels. because there's a substantial christian population in syria for example which has the most or not the position of any christian group anywhere in the middle east. putting israel by the way. are. minority islamic sects which are substantial a number but a minority in the state as a whole there are different ethnic groups just people for example are terrified of the victory of a jihadist extremist islamic victory so that's undoubtedly one of the reasons why the syrian government is still holding on in the teeth of what is a thorough going and massive international conspiracy against them not because they're a dictatorship because the west likes dictatorships in the arab world saudi arabia

is the grimmest dictatorship of them all and is the best friend of the west not because it's one family rule because of course all these are dictatorships are one family rule in saudi arabia the families even given its name to the country even kim jong il didn't do that so it's not because of dislike of dictatorship no it's because the syrian regime refuses to follow western orders and has always refused to follow western orders that's why they want to bring them down they're all mixed signals they want the thermostat he seems to suggest that he will step down then he won't what do you think will happen and as far as i know he has no intention of stepping down there are people who fly kites in the western media russia's about to change its position china is about to change its position ourselves about to go on a plane this is i think largely dissent formation but undoubtedly the syrian regime has a massive problem it has democratic deficit in its country it is

a dictatorship the era of dictatorship must be coming to an end in the arab world and should come to an end should have long ago come to an end but there are many dictatorships in the arab world who are not being targeted by this international conspiracy indeed are a vital. important part of the conspiracy mrs clinton declared the friends of democratic syria but within three days even she had realized the resume billeted of that moniker because its core included saudi arabia and qatar were there is no democracy of any kind whatsoever you mention these ethnic groups that are just link opposition in syria do you predict a full scale slide into civil war and if so do you think that person will be gunning to get involved well i think there already is a civil war in syria the massacres that are taking place are

almost entirely demarcated by sectarian divisions. the. if you like the dichotomy that exists in the country is not just between those who are with the regime or against the regime though that exists between different ethnic and confessional groups and that's a powder keg if ever you want to find one that's why i say to i said last night to a british foreign office minister what are you doing in syria have you any idea of the virtual nuclear explosion in the us critical area that you are helping to bring about did you learn nothing from afghanistan did you learn nothing from flying osama bin laden to afghanistan to fight the red army. this is even more dangerous because it has course front with

israel it's on the shores of the mediterranean so close to europe itself and it is part of if you wanted to draw out that way an arc involving iran iraq with its big shia majority. the syrian. government and the people who support and of course the. national resistance movement in lebanon hezbollah that's a very powerful arc with a lot of firepower and one of the characteristics of she is a which the foreign office minister that i talked to last night appeared oblivious to was that shiites are quite ready to fight to the death and what role do you think iran should play in bringing peace to syria well iran is a critical component in the region as a whole it's critical in iraq it could end in an afternoon the all remaining traces of western occupation of iraq in an afternoon if they give the

want to do so and of course you cannot talk about the future of the region without bringing iran into it and russia and coffee alone are both correct in saying that iran is indispensable in any solution to this the only possible solution is the coffee plan which is supported by everybody in the world except the people whose plan it ostensibly is the united nations is supporting it the rope supports the hanging man the arab league appointed coffee or not in the first place is busily supplying weapons to the rebels to do it but any sensible person in the world wants the plan to succeed and the plan is to buy dialogue and transition and dictatorship in syria without having to spill an ocean of blood in order to do it and destabilize the region and therefore the world i thank you very much

thank you. one industry in the soviet union. not display i labor school. for the attempt to get a job with the web. one can easily. put

this will be. thought. the headlines on r.t. explosions and fighting in the syrian capital this rebel of the rebels are announcing now a full scale offensive against. all the made another diplomatic attempt to end the crisis. america sends its own agents to patrol britain's so the london olympics while the u.k. is forced to draft more troops and police after security contractors bite off a bit more than they. patronize and insulting muslim immigrants and belgium describe a new starter kit that they say it's nothing more than a guide first arriving in the civilized world. let's get to the sporting news now with dmitri.

hello there welcome to the sports update here are two things for joining us this hour coming up in the pulitzer. the cap fits former england manager fabio capello says taking the russian job will be a wonderful adventure. walk seeing queens of russia the women prepared to make a three games in london. and civil way say organize is a limb pick a medal spectate tower of london for security reasons. but first the former england manager fabio capello is taking charge of the russian national football team would be a wonderful adventure he's heading to. deal worth up to a staggering twenty four million dollars with a possible two year extension the russian football union named him sticking to cart success on monday and claim they now only need to agree on the fine print with the

talent capello is expected to appoint for fellow country men and two russians in his coaching staff and take charge in time for russia's friendly against every coast next month before it was cup qualifiers against northern ireland and israel in september. capello's achievements in the management have seen him qualify england for the world cup in twenty and the recent european championships but his biggest achievements have come at probably winning two la liga titles with real madrid and seven italian league titles with rome eventers and ac milan also won the champions league under him and here's what russian plays said about capello's appointment. i think this is the correct decision and he's a great coach and one of the best around he's been in charge of england and top clubs around europe he's very experienced it will be great worked. with you if you could bear share with us i don't really know what to think at the moment so many

names were linked with a job like capello and going to loom we'll just have to see what he's able to bring to the team and hopefully he'll help take russian football forward. with. now thousands of athletes are starting to arrive in london for the olympics and world make history just by turning up female boxing is making its debut at the games and russia sees it as a golden opportunity to boost its medal tally with more roberts fight and out. they've already made history with the women's boxing set to make its olympic debut london these are the three russian women who have fought for their right to represent the country on the biggest stage of all. the fear to go over holder of two world and european gold medals terma derm again she has what it takes although an olympic medal in the sixty kills category would top all her previous

achievements in the sample totals to be faster than your opponent to reach your mind to neutralize her to be virtually untouched a ball in the ring that's the greatest feeling you can experience in the sport you can't always be in such but when you're richard that's what i enjoy most in boxing kelty often turns out to be the key factor of big wins and dramatic fails russia is hoping the heaviest olympic class under seventy five years adorable are listed as paramount. mental training this is where i believe i can improve on a psychology plays an essential role in any preparation even my coaches now and then say to me come on you're the european champion i still have to gain some confidence i need to step in the ring cool is all it is for me even when i make some technical mistakes it's all down to mentality it's all in here with a woman by the way to do battle in the olympic boxing ring you're going to surveil ever expect london point well to be simply

a cold room you know that i think women are driven by anger in the ring more often than men are competitive anger women's boxing is also more emotional sometimes guys from the russian manstein say hey you're emotionally overwhelmed you should calm down but of course that voice is great but getting firsthand experience is crucial but these women at the top is made real when they get in the same room with men we use them it was more team has been training with men for quite a long time three times a week it's common practice for us especially you have big events and every weapons to the girls even. are with man at first the guys didn't take it seriously but after a while it became very real and it's really paid off that train sure helped win the battle for olympic glory heats up but regardless of reaching the podium will not having already secured their birth in boxing history is something that can never be taken away. party. so they're on their way to

london although sailing team were among the first to make it to the british capital there arrived at heathrow monday who were described as the airport's history and with even more athletes and fans expected to fly in in the days to come no major holdups were reported it did not go smoothly for everyone. got lost while taking american athletes to the olympic village in a slant in a journey along specially designated lanes should have taken an hour but almost four according to the team it's prompted an apology from the mayor of london and the head of london transport although the distress it was an insulated instant. there are many thousands of basra twenty four thousand of them. were through four thousand coming to london from all over the country to run services for one twenty two world it wouldn't surprise me if one of them got lost it would surprise

me four of them got lost for hours or believe it was roshon to all on the front row a looking out of sorts. my message is obviously people have been inconvenienced then clearly we're sorry for it but you know hundreds of buses have gone through. very very sure to go to. the park and i think it's appalling fantastic facilities that. america's basketball players are about to kick start the european leg of their pretty big but before leaving home the gold medal holders beat brazil eighty eight to sixty nine in a friendly to send out a signal to their rivals at the london games coach mike because the jet ski doesn't write off a south american side adding that other ponens could also cause an upset. and i think brazil has a great chance to be in contention for a gold medal. we're going to play in a couple other teams in exhibitions. also will be there and tina and spain and want

team we will not face and we cross cross over to france france was tony parker waving them in all the n.b.a. players they have will be will be really good. in the meantime the first double amputee to compete at the olympics all skippy stories has been played down his medal chances nicknamed the blade runner the south african will run in the four hundred meters and take part in the four by four hundred twenty five year old one a silver medal in the relay event at last year's world championships in south korea however his failed to qualify for the individual four hundred metres final in daegu and reckons it will be a tall order for him to go solo in london. to make the finals going to be extremely tough. there's a big difference in qualifying for the games and being at the top and the guards are running at the top running. you know forty four seconds which is the second

quicker than i've ever run on one hundred and then probably two when going to syrup each of the two thousand and it's you know sub forty fourth time that shaun maraton and with the two more known earthbeat different are going to be some phenomenal performances. not all our thoughts are based at the olympic village at the moment australian swimming swimmers for example are currently at a training camp in the north of england and have been talking up their chances of success even though they got tough as many goals as the ac at the last olympics that pool is still their main source of medals jones will be competing at a fourth game will defend two olympic titles but freestyle sensation james making he's a limb big debut feature in the fifty one hundred and four one hundred meters and is confident of giving others a run for their money. this one of the reasons why i chose one hundred phrase of becoming so is that we're events the event that everyone wants to see in

a room with some of the reasons that show is a. it's been a long time coming. out of it. it's just a bad time to know that what we did in. north korean athletes are the traditional dark horses at the games fifty one contenders will fly the flag for the world's most isolated country in the british capital refused to talk to the media while getting on board of their connection flight by beijing north korea claimed six medals including two golds in the chinese capital four years ago and the asian nation will once again be hoping for success in gymnastics and beyond. saying with the olympic theme the first prizes will be presented in one of the women's shooting events on the twenty eighth of july all three hundred and two sets of medals will be for grabs at the london games it took several tabs of guilt silver and copper to make them and for security reasons the organizers found probably the

safest place in the british capital of them for them. if the terror of london as has been used for over six hundred years to hoard crowns and jewels. is the safest house in london it's iconic it's looked after precious jewels in the crown jewels for many many years and of course it's one of our host barros as well so it was an obvious choice. ok you're up to date now. with more sports news from around the globe weather is next stay with us. well. science technology innovation all the list i'm elements from around russia we've got the future covered.

one industry in the soviet union you. cannot display i labor school. for the attempt to get a job with them kind of the west. one can easily be cut and. dry should be ok as for those who we did during his. visit to the soviet people.

blind rush is going to be so much brighter if you knew all about someone from funds to pressure.
