well joining us today is alexey sorokin the man in charge of russia's will cut bait for twenty eight teams to sorokin thank you for your time thank you if we could start by talking about russia's chances to win this because a lot of people see it as a two horse race between russia and england how do you write russia's chances and how do you see russia is unique selling points if you like the first of all we have regarded this as a four horse race for two thousand and eighteen but out of these four horses i think we we have very good chances where very confident. without being overconfident of course we believe we have all it takes to to win this bid or unorganized very good world cup one aspect of which is very important for is legacy and there we have a lot to offer i mean legacy after the world cup in russia would be immense. will

influence not only the football development in this country but certainly in the entire region where russia is situated and exported to all our neighbors so there is another aspect where we feel quite well one thing three for is concerned about is the creation of white elephant so certainly in england there's a huge english premier league that all the stadiums in use pretty much match they have to build for from scratch if russia got well and they had to be able to fifteen stating you called for them that they would be able to you would be able to fill them on a regular basis for certain events in the i think russia is absolutely guaranteed with that with no white elephants because we've been carefully choosing all the hosts it is by them having either a premier league club or the first division club so there isn't a major club or two playing in each host city. and we think with the state of the art infrastructure of the attendance. levels will only grow plus what we have what

we have in mind in terms of design of the stadium is temporary tribunes which with which the stadiums will reach the fee for acquired levels after the world cup some of the attributes will be removed and we'll have the stadiums with the capacity that is needed in a particular region if a city needs twenty five thousand stadium well it will have exactly nothing nothing more i can say and jestingly how will it work for a well cup in russia because you have to you have to catch a great distance and similarly have some pay to. change logistically how will be did not envision a plan where a group match or group matches can be held to one including growth and one in new york city and. of course this this needs planning but through funding we can

achieve more convenience for fans and the distances it will be with and regular limits for free for right now we the father city that we have is only two hours by plane from moscow and that's that's not something extraordinary for a fee for. i mean look at the history of the world cup that we had we've had japan and korea we will have brazil we had south africa these are not small countries obviously competing with other leading nations it's been a few spots in the press being good and has that same advantage i don't think it's a factor in our beds. i mean that we have been the focus of the british media but. i think it now will subside and people will have other things to speak and the closer we get to the final presentation the more the first nation itself will be the focus and we have not been part of any. and is

speculative allegations or those or any. traps. and so we don't see any reason why we shouldn't shouldn't be at least in the final in the british press they did talk about incidences of hooliganism and also racism is that initiated being brought up by fate for atonement you know. these issues are perfectly global but they are not indigenous here they're not typical or characteristic of russia. these are things that are that pose universal challenge and in football. and of course as a country of one hundred forty five million people we occasionally have outbreaks of negative various negative processes of course. racism hogans are among them we do have very minor sporadic outbreaks but they do not

represent a trend in russian for those a lot to really confront these challenges recently a memorandum and racist behavior was adopted by russian football union which we think is a good program to really. tackle this issue. but it's all a matter of whether you bring that up constantly and sort of robot or just position it as normal negative outbreaks in the overall positive landscape and positive development we have a few weeks left before the announcement is made what can you do between now and then what's the price you have to be obviously members twenty four members of the executive committee you have to get that seen values to secure that will keep what you do now between matter and that where there is a lot of presentations public and then the vigil that have taken place.

there are a few that will still have to happen. within the next month. we have another event which is called soccer x. in rio in brazil which is very important for us going to a few individual presentations a few individual contacts and that's what we were up to preparing. a good sound final presentation and that's it and the committee members they give you an inclination of hi they may not necessarily know but what we see is. that they are genuinely interested in and. those who come here are sometimes very positively surprised. at the progress and the achievements that russia has made over the recent years and you think that's a real plus for you will be do you think this will catch the error of the executive

committee because this is something perhaps that is unusual compared to the other european base for sure all the visitors will see a lot of russians a lot of different parts of russia and we have really. various a whole variety of regions i mean we have the western culture of kaliningrad the beauty of st petersburg the muslim touch. we have the. flavor of sochi. mean these are all various russia's that people will experience these are regions that are that have their own cultural and ethnic identity which is sometimes very peculiar and interesting a lot of work has to be done and when the. committee was here having a look over the some of the four days over the summer you'll beit they did say that would have to start immediately. does that concern you. something it's going to be a problem getting things ready. time is not something you are comfortable with what

we've never had any problems. with delivering what we promised to look at look at sochi and every promise that we have made to the sea is being fulfilled right now as we speak. we do have a lot of things to built but it's no secret and we have already started that even. the first choice we nine out of sixteen stadiums will be built regardless of the outcome of the december second. and same applies for other infrastructure you know all the all the regions will develop. regardless of the world cup only with the world cup it will be faster and more focused and i promise the pizza is always to be a factor hey he's given its full backing you will be to his full backing how much do you think that will bay and in fact do you know whether he will actually be there in zurich when the announcement is made or certain i don't know that for sure but

he has given it prime minister putin has given us his full support he has agreed to sign three additional guarantees on top of the guarantees required by fee for he's very well aware of what's going on. how it develops. and we certainly hope to continue. having his support and even if russia doesn't win the spade it's still been a success story for russia you know i don't even want to think about it. but at least we. we have tried our best to least we. showed the world the football where we what we have achieved what we have to offer what we intend to. construct. and that alone is a great achievement. but we are very hopeful of the will and.

holding out the russian flag high in the basketball in the early. and also wave of tragedy three time surfing world champion andy iran's is found to add at the age of thirty two. champions league fast was part of moscow and all tied for second in that group the russian side going down for want to chelsea at stamford bridge wednesday night all full blues bills coming in the second haul for . followed by a penalty from joe and then a brace by branislav involving the late consolation goal for the president scored by. a. few one. with that kind of result there's just one positive to be taken from this game this year as part counts want that we have now there were certainly playing one of the best teams in europe and maybe won the best teams in the world but says different object to it and different goals for the

sport the players they look up to some of the best players in the world they see not only how skilful but also more physically strong they are and they can bench found themselves against those players not just against the russian elite teams that is a. lot of them to start it is important to have in the first days of. this group. but. i think. the final decision. for the champions league is in february march. you have to be. real in this moment to avoid injury to my. feet. february march. elsewhere in group alpha mall saying fresh visioning up seven they'll also failed to qualifying group h.

as for madonna and dog those who are the an awful shock to anybody else brought up doing just enough to talk in that same group while via munich state perfect being grouped in for a lot close with a hat trick from mario gomez shan drove us eight seconds there following a. funny realm of dreams qualifying for the knockout stage despite a tool draw with a similar as the sun's zero substance you join me on salvaging the points for the business that was on offer to put them through while milan go up the second to all seven. at helm. but was it important to learn what it's like playing in the champions league at the top level if we played the second half the same as the first school and would have been easily zero two or even zero three when you lost it but managed to improve our game to control the match which is a very important experience. and of course it's your opening time across the

continent so nights with seeking to do the double over at a more at home the russians to a three male away victory a fortnight ago over the same up position ball for the cool surreally to pray to the top of group af with nine points from through three games and that's without them seeding a single girl one more win will see them answer the round of the thirty two domestically they always sell so rosy view on the mound failing to win in the previous three games all but ending their chances over a third crown in six years the share amount of games. the primary reason for that sounds to me i need. we've tried an individual approach while trying to solve problems says skull players are thick skinned and the ordinary person would have psychological problems in their situation but those guys i think have the inner reserves and skills to overcome those difficulties as for physical preparedness the guys actually only had problems in one game and that's

because the last match in palermo ended late on thursday and then we had an early game on the weekend in russia that's why they had problems then but now the team is perfectly fine. moving to san francisco now where thousands of baseball fans came out to toast the giants world series championship their hometown heroes taking a victory lap in a ticker tape parade reminiscent of they won held when the team moved west from new york fifty two years ago. and last time the city has that parade of these proportions balls and nine hundred ninety five when the n.f.l.'s forty nine ers won their famous super bowl title giants greats willie mays and willie mccool v. were on hand for the passivity is while manager bruce boesch who enjoys calling his giants a ragtag bunch held up the world series to be in his convertible slugger allbery hall had threatened to unveil his lucky red thawing at the parade and as you can see there he's

a matter of days where the great dane francisco indeed. your league basketball now and him cannot stay big hall victory over the previously on beaten spanish champions. he's planned for them benjamin leading the way for the home club with nineteen and fourteen points respectively and both teams now have two victories from their three games and vying for top of the standings with childcare is cowan us. meanwhile says i'm also still struggling early in the season a big eighty two fifty seven loss at home get this festive a tree in the euro league for more than six years while the iron man remains out of the tree from three games. to k. shell hockey now weds not one hosted soul about your life and want to wednesday's highlights here in moscow constantin but top of has more. so i want you life one of the best addicting teams in the key to please do number more scope have conceded

liz golds than any other team so for the game was to decide who stretches it was best in the blue and one got off to a discouraging store dropping a goal just thirty eight seconds even. have the best result please and no surprise the double win with one. ricochet from the grand prix and bars goaltender michael jordan to nothing at the first intermission. had a tough talk and. the second period study would deny most furious attacks and it paid off the number one the way so in march inched a buck fired it into the now. i've just recovered from an injury and i was a little bit careful and nervous at the start as i missed sixteen games but after several line changes everything got much better it was hard to fight back as we conceded a goal early in the game. it seemed like the most got back into the game but their hopes were down but he got into was alone at the far post and he's only doubled his

money after this number for the bit about the fans think i'm going to broke away well so i want you live for shorthand and left the goaltender guessing. in the decisive period of plea deal more full back and scored once a stubborn denise my side of push the puck through on the third attempt however their way team didn't let them any closer for to the final score i don't think we played a very good defense. of myself if you do when you're playing this game that before has many star players and team and. i think if you give not many chances they're going to take advantage of you and that's what happened so one of the surprise packages of the season do nama increase their losing streak to three matches but still stay at the top of the western conference while two time regular season champion salt you life returned home in a good mood as do four side one to the third sports on the table concern about the r.t. . now
