a day to go until russians vote in a presidential elections and although the route with the u.k. has threatened to overshadow the vote internationally it's unlikely that will have any effect on the outcome president vladimir putin is expected to easily win another six year term but worried the kremlin has the possibility of low voter turnout with tomorrow's result largely a foregone conclusion many russians there see the need to cost the ballot. what one could say it's the end of an election campaign that hardly happened no one expects any surprises on sunday when up to one hundred nine million registered voters go to the polls the president with. every one of us cares about the destiny of our russian fatherland. that's why i'm asking you to cast your ballot on sunday just. make use of your right to make a choice about the future of our beloved russia i see blood worried that

people choosing to stay away from the polls could weaken the legitimacy of his presidency the kremlin would like to see a voter turnout of seventy percent with seventy percent of the ballots cast or put in. a lower voter turnout could strengthen the position of kremlin critic alexina vonnie even though he's not allowed to run in this election he could claim a moral victory from a low turnout. we're calling on people not to vote this procedure is no election it's only a race between putin and the candidates he's personally selected. since a victory for putin is all but a foregone conclusion some russians say they don't see any need to cast their ballots you know i'm not photos of the decisions already been made by voting by all means and with pleasure. i don't think it's really necessary to for those. in the end pop music and glitzy ads may not be enough to persuade everyone to go to

mess. from top to just four minutes five of the back off the half time through and used to sit on the strike the first was on hand again to clinch the point. for me yet still got it out on the snake nine on the cool cuts and firmly in the europa league running. well hamburg face a crucial game in their battle to be relegation they to against how to bear lean back are seven points adrift in the relegation zone with time running out now with a new coach at the helm the club has to rouse itself from the doldrums or enjoy its first ever going to sneak a relegation. it was a warm welcome for hamburg's new coach christie and sids is concentrating on the positives despite the club's relegation plight. in the sequence and we're not interested in what's happened this week is a new start and that's what we're focusing on. this is a relative unknown he's never played or coached at the top level in germany until

now but the hamburg bosses hope his qualities will shine through. he started in a diligent and meticulous ways. getting stuck into the details of various things and he's a very ambitious person. ambition alone will not be enough for hamburg value but he needs to start scoring goals so far they found the net just eighteen times in twenty six games so what's the grand plan to make hamburg more prolific. if we want to have more possession. so that we have more control of games. and through that we want to create more chances to go on to. hamburg's last win was an emphatic three no victory over hoffenheim the problem that was way back in november failure to beat how to berlin would extend their winless streak to fourteen games. we want to put

a team out there who can win us this game. there's still time for hamburg to save themselves just about but a win this weekend is essential if the folks park stadium is to host top flight football again next season. all right now the draw for the champions league quarter finals has taken place in switzerland there are some great matches ahead we've got barcelona the twenty fifteen champions they'll face off against italian side roma jemmy's by munich were paired with salvia eventis will take on cup holders the day and i treated her pete of last year's final and they all are going for a third straight title and liverpool will meet manchester city in an all england match for the first lexx will be played in the first week of april. you're watching the w. news from but more coming up at the top of the hour dave you can always get the latest news around the clock on our web site that is of course dot com on how to.
