amazing fourteen under car round a fifty seven. we start with football and there are two games taking place in the russian premier league on friday a satin currently hosting angie and later spar technology will take i'm caught and they just sat down to the store that is nil nil and later on fourth place that could rise to third a third from bottom and card spot tax new signing joe van gaal which could play the twenty three year old star has joined the nonsuch side on loan until the end of the season i'm caught meanwhile hoping to avoid the drop kick starting to put run results. elsewhere on thursday night fights time european champions liverpool have one foot in your a plague after and go scorching a trough to get a much changed reds team to know when macedonian side the boche make it in the first leg of their qualifiers and liverpool manager roy hodgson was pleased with the results of his first competitive game in charge. they were very selfish for i don't think it was. obviously

a game which could have been very difficult for sure when the for the crowd were fantastic for. this for the very day supporting the team quite good at least twelve again. it's a big crowd in the summer about choirs playing today and what used to play in front of a prequel to the crucial matches. but i was really pleased with the way it went about their business quite pleased of course that we can go back to out there with. a margin of victory which would enable us to be a little bit more comfortable there than how we lost or draw here today and there's also a first competitive game in charge of the new manager eventis one town that has been kind of comfortable to know when a sham what right is in dublin brazilian striker a maori losing face here at three minutes and the tweet wanting the compulsion diego will cost way to skate and then he netted his second with a head the seventy fifth minute sitting in a final score to now. i must say i'm already had a good b.

form and he worked well i have always thought it was an important player for juventus he may have years when his scoring fewer goals but his strength his movement is very useful to the way we play and today he played excellently he scored two goals hit the post but aside from this he helped the defense he work like everyone else and i think the team today played well for the timing in which it was brought to do these preliminaries for europa league meanwhile russia got their preparations for the forthcoming basketball championships off to a great start with a solid win either latvia david that side had few problems as the east to an eighty nine points to sixty eight victory which of them portrayed as. russia a long shot to win this year's world championships which got underway at the end of august in turkey and three kirilenko won't be making the trip well of a key mentum a famous golf and we were looking on from the sidelines how the russians head coach is called. and both will be available most of situations we're waiting for the

approval of the n.b.a. . as far as his insurance is concerned which i believe is forthcoming in the next few days victor yet an injury at the end of last season and that required some extended recovery time so we decided to bring him along very slowly you know he's been in camp the last week but basically just training individually with the sharks year and the next few days i think will start to get him into some live five or four were killed be he'll be ok and obviously he's a big addition to the team when he comes now to provide the opposition's plan signed play their first competitive match ahead of the worlds the team from the baltic states have a plenty of practice already as bay prepare for their own competition and the visitors would get off to a good start against a sluggish russian side as the hof went on russia's defense began to pick up on an annexation feared but finally may have found a solution for his problem position a point guard of the twenty one year old had quite an impact i thought that she had

started the game because of the work that he did in the mini camp back in june and because of the work that he's done in the first two weeks of the preparation so he was on the court because he deserved to be on the court that he needs to keep working he got a little bit away from himself in the second half but that's natural for a kid loses concentration those are welcome return back to the core of the two sashes columbine save each and both got married recently kaun had little playing time a bit and say that surely made his mark on the match with this very impressive effort right on the buzzer. through russia's class began to talisman match progressed as ranveer struggled to cope with death for russia's roster nikita could buy one of its particular affected in the pain later on and russia's head coach was particularly pleased with his side's performance i think in the last three years we've shown that we're team that can do things on the force and we can play defense and. rebound the ball you got

a chance to be in any game now we're going to play against better teams in this war . but. for the first rehearsal we showed the kind of defense and the kind of rebounding that we need in order to be a successful team and also we have the part in the spirit of the russian national team that's what we want this russian side may be lacking any world class stars but there's certainly plenty of team spirit among society but twenty seven captain city because of his build his plant and the telly fatigues on has had a following season in the euro league with him he says russia had the potential to cause an upset and to the upcoming world championships. we are a young team and we won't be under any pressure when we take to the court in turkey and we've got some talented players and if everything goes well for us we can certainly surprise a few people so that's a good start for russia with this eighty nine point sixty eight victory and they'll set up a sign person a week's time to continue their preparations defensively blant side look good of

a have to sharpen up more often simply as a struggle to score points against better teams but will come up again sample world's bridge of ample play don't see. athletics now in russia have won their third gold medal on day three of the european championships in barcelona and the team now tops the overall table with ten medals acts on the show stop playing to the top honors in the men's high jump the best quite a season to date is thirty three centimeters so well in a rush to call the great world and european indoor champions after the bombs. you handed me successfully defended his title in the men's fifty kilometer hook thirty two year old went the distance in a time of three hours forty minutes and thirty seven seconds to add to his two thousand and six title challenge but a gorgeous pseudo came in behind the frenchman for the silver medal in question set a backroom in rounded off the podium securing bronze. on the goal from the alabama boys stage today a championship where seventeen year old bobby wyatt carded

a fourteen under par fifty seven thought to be a new world record while lost in the first round of last week's us junior amateur championship but this time the alabama native shot a nine on the part twenty six on the front nine and then reached a remarkable fourteen when his party on seventeen found the bottom of the cup what also went on to win the event with a final round one under par seventy on friday to secure his fourth straight or states junior championship however the teenager says there's always room for improvement. believe it or not as they always say you leave a couple no matter what this your score is you have to couple out there at fifty seven yes. i can always get better i guess there's always room for improvement so i love the game we have in the zone as they say and i guess i said i was seeing. everything i was there was good but when a lot of a lot of twenty six on the front yes. it's like

a video game not quite. and finally the international sport form continues in moscow and while the russian foreign dignitaries are busy with conferences and round tables other businesses are attending events such as that involving the russian martial art of somebody else with how small. to many russians sound always a national treasure the word sambo means self defense without a weapon and many bold and this no before have dreams of one day competing in the games and those be recognized by dennis because it seems he lives in eighty one sambo still lacks a place on the olympic program out of eighty one world associations it seems the russian sample federation which has the biggest desire to join the olympic family like him or putin mentioned personally that it's about time sambo became an olympic event and we all agreed because it's hold right popular choose huge russia will start actively pursuing doing pick membership soon because old olympic requirements

can already be met today well no matter what happens on the international circuit the russians can rest assured that their peril has a long life ahead events like this presidents cup happen regularly across the country and involve foreign athletes as well that's in addition to annual world and european championships taking place across the globe. of course world and european venues are in forty's but for us of the athletes any competition is vital we do our best regardless of whether it's a national or international event filmy thing is that i wish georgian if these were here to make the bouts more competitive. in the absence of georgia russia met with their other top competition in the final bell rouche a total of nine ballots to place with a host proving no match for bill roos convention of winning the russian president's cup for the fourth year in a row while kazakhstan defeated ukraine in a day small final taking third place on the podium with only one of the world made

you do this it will be. the way everybody else. but. there. were. there. was. and that's the support for this president i feel. hungry for the full story we've got it first the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers.
