technical excellence that we're promised a fee for by two thousand and seventeen trust the international sports community has for country it for its leadership. we managed to produce certain confidence in us and then of course the support of our people the enthusiasm that our people manifested along the way the english reaction to russia is winning the right to host cup with an exactly the most gracious but also the reaction to their own defeat going out in the first round there was a lot of theories reaction in the british press we surprise about this on already yes and no. there was of course a big buildup to towards the final presentation in the media which which could have been a factor in in their lack of success but then we think our bid is totally within thief philosophy that is to. move the world cup to new

regions open up new horizons to really expand the power of football and. stretch it over over here huge huge regions. we're agreed they had that they had a good bit in general. were great that it turned out this way but i mean you have to know how to lose to not only winning takes a lot of pressure but losing to what happens now obviously russia is one big host woke up what's going to happen in sort of two thousand and ten two thousand and eleven these initial stages think the main task for us would be to prove that we are a good partner for thief that a partner that can begin working now first trip of fee for officials is end of january we intend to prepare for that to begin working on the on the project matters developing the timescale and really moving along well russia of

course because it's going to come immense media scrutiny well i mean you've had enough media scrutiny to be president self but is russia ready for this you think absolutely no we've been very keen on staying clean. not raising even even a shadow of the doubt or suspicion about our activity or we are we don't have to get ready for a new scrutiny we are ready any time both local and foreign authorities to look into what we've been doing and maybe it's the. quality of our. accounts for. the fact that we have never been. part of any new smear campaigns any any suspicions any scandals there was one suggestion which was quite absurd which came along on the way but in general we weren't really a target for that when racism hooliganism are

a problem in russia as they are in much more developed nations that just italy spain how do you expect to tackle these problems ahead of the two thousand and eighteen world cup well first of all. russian football union has. made it very clear by by the statement of its ruling body the executive committee that it's it's this something that it it really would like to address in the nearest future they doctored a memorandum on combating any meth manifestation of racism. would show we think would be a foundation for certain activities. in the end these activities would be very effective sort of mean for structure which is obviously going to help russia massively building new roads new transport systems new stadiums of course whatever fact is can help the development of russia by winning the right to host woke up europe in all this factor is of course the economic potential of russia i

mean. russia's golden cards series are our substantial russia's economy is on the rise. g.d.p. seven percent annually we do not see any obstacle on the way of successful investment projects in the way of successfully. creating this infrastructure that is much needed not only for the world cup but for forward normal life standard in this country in general many many people now think that we need this interest infrastructure specifically for the world cup we don't the world cup will benefit from the natural course of development in many of our countries regions but not just economically able to socially as well because russia's going to be opened up hundreds of thousands perhaps millions of supporters are going to come over to watch the woke up and pops dispel some myths about russia which amongst people in

the west the reputation image benefits are immense. it's hard to overstate them because we it was our intention in the first place to really show a totally different country to the world to really see what it's like here that it's no different from any other country that we do share the same problems same issues but at the same time it's not it's not something strange something hostile something weird going on in this country but also could help develop football in russia as a moment unfortunately stadiums authentic premier league games i mean sponsors moscow have the highest average attendance but it's only thirty five thousand which is hardly comparable to any sort of club around. europe to think this couldn't miss world cup could give russia a kick in the right direction get more people more families attending much is absolutely we. were talking about heritage about the legacy and this legacy is not only. perfect infrastructure it's about the overall rise of interest to

football the number of people who play football who are interested in football trade football so not only the interest toward football will grow but there will be a wonderful stadiums that will suit perfectly this rise of interest and so it's it's sort of a parallel lines along which football will be developed one of human and the other is infrastructural and both of these lines will lead towards. increased attendance was not just about football stadiums but also about academies academy which was built entirely at sea which was received a lot of support from proceeding when he was manager of the russian national football team a many more of these academies going to be set up in the build up to the woke up around the country of course no there is there is a specific plan in the russian football union the think these academies now will will grow intensely in the country there is

a particular need now to to produce by two thousand and eighteen the best possible national team and of course there is going to many efforts directed towards towards descend to the couple final questions i mean how difficult has it been for me personally how are you feeding the night before the bad i how has how the last few months been think you lot of sleepless nights moderately confident a little nervous. we were not. that nervous about the final presentation i mean we've done a lot of presentations we've spoken to these people we've done individual presentations so it wasn't about the audience because the atmosphere during the final presentation was very friendly it was about the decision of course and we felt that this nervous pressure significantly increased closer to four o'clock when the word rush appeared from the envelope. but some magic and of course there's a lot of discussions a lot of fears so it's also

a question about corruption i mean corruption is a drive word of president medvedev a moment to try and root out corruption in various societies within russia how is the russian bid going to stay away from this how they're going to make sure that corruption is in the pot doesn't have any effects the best way to stay away from corruption isn't to be used to not to be part of it. that's exactly what we intend to do simply not be part of it not to partake in some processes which we feel can run counter to certain ethical principles. we know that. the world cup is not the business of l o c it's it's a joint endeavor by thief. so it's working in partnership it's trusting each other. and so a lot of good things can spring up from this cooperation with thief i mean if i give you extra incentive in a way because you knew the media scrutiny to be so much harsh on russia if you did

slip up don't have one think about it but if we if we did slip up again it would be a notable failure notable failure but still there are some some speculations which we read now. here in there appear people who claim that it's russia could have been could not have been on us but we were simply neglect these things i mean that everybody is entitled to their own opinion. it's strange that we are regarded this way by. some weird people but we we were quite tolerant to this will russia be drawing all my expenses it's a done in jordan who is head of the south african but committee the chairman committee which hosts the world cup in two thousand and six said x. from will comp will be drawn. and there experience there of course where you would know many of the organizers of these two successful world cup personally will

certainly use their experience their expertise we know mr giordano very well he came to russia as part of the inspection commission i'm sure it's not it was not his last trip to our country sure there's going to be many more we have excellent relations with the german national association sure we will be in contact with them so we but most of the knowledge transfer will come from fifo of course that's the organization where a lot of experience have been collected over many years well as he said going to be in expection in january what are they going to be looking at what are they going to be trying to find out from the russian side the sort of inspection it's a working visit we don't know the contents we believe it's going to be preliminary discussions and some being out of what needs to be done at what time so it's basically. a project management meeting i would say things that are so much

like of the next few weeks the next few months and experience thank you very much thank you. this is a cable from the u.s. embassy in colombo to talk about here an apparent june seventh incident of extrajudicial executions the military according to the press that on that day that killed nine to religion from that investigation by instructs young couldn't you know and they're strongly suggest however that the nine were executed by the army and then dressed in military fatigues. please. explain how you know this kind of phenomenon where bodies are dressed up as guerrillas and presented as killed in action and this and the idea that you need to produce bodies actually encouraged paramilitary collaboration this is

a cia document central intelligence agency they knew about these activities they knew they were happening they knew about links to paramilitary groups and yet. u.s. aid continued to flow.

the third straight in that alonso lost the plane in july as final last second while germany have moved ahead of brazil a third since last month. and steyn fifth and sixth respectively elsewhere leave the african nations and climbed one place to ninth while the united states. rejoined the rising six point six to eighteen russia dropped out because man on thirteen while the twenty it's why is it two world cup hosts qatar job i placed a hundred and fourteen. along with the team rankings individual trophies have been awarded in nuremberg three man in the on a day in germany before long claiming the most prestigious trophy player of the two of them and towards the striker and he's europe wide teammates and exhausted the competition after the semi's with four launch of five goals thomas miller also nets and five bought on account of morris so so the german was named told goal scorer

while spanish welsh have been a careful c.e.o. so received the golden globe award for best goalkeeper performance. yes but. this kind of war there i mean and but also. when in the world has it worse it's much better known we as a player prefer to one that over there will be grateful for every. african football in the meantime has reached a new peak with club from congo having qualified for the final of the world club cup the first time a team from outside europe or south america has managed to do silva a obviously massive underdogs in their semifinal with coppola but the us champions internazionale and it was the brazilians will have a better start whatever to do yeah but there wasn't a goalkeeper standing between into and the lead on numerous occasions the second have proved a different story though melodic

a bongo finishing superbly eight minutes after the break for a while nearly there. and their real party began eighty six minutes enough to. produce a piece of individual brilliance to put the game to bed. through two sets of these clubs cup the knowledge of the dobie. the victories not only for us today but as the coach said for the whole of the african continent which we represent i think this might mean that you journalists are respecting yes you did not respect as before but now we have earned the respect . now russia continued preparations for the latest leg of euro hockey two which gets on the way on says day here in moscow which a small break up will have to do without you getting in the book of russia's head coach has decided not to call up the veteran goaltender after the thirty five year old recently quit his cape club scar same creators but the channel one cup is the second round of the euro two which also features sweden the czech republic and

finland the russians failed to get stops spot in the opening leg of the season of the cardio a cup where they lost out to the hosts on goal difference of sounds they will be looking to go one better in front of their home fans this weekend. or so because. at the moment russia sweden and finland are also the top of the overall table with six points and we're expecting a very. few days if we want to win this upcoming leg but the most important thing about this tournament is it allows us to prepare both mentally and physically as we already have one eye on next year's world championships. as say with ice hockey where russia's youth team has begun preparations ahead of the upcoming world championships in the u.s. because that's and by the off reports. team russia get together in the moscow region to start the campaign head of the year's biggest event in youth hockey the backdrop seen that the world junior championship in buffalo in the us on the twenty

sixth of december that's why this brand new hockey rink has the same nude use dimensions as those used in north america and i challenge i would say it's difficult to get used to new sizes of a nice ring so far the play is much faster but we'll train here for a week or so so i hope we'll get accustomed. the host of the forthcoming championship are also the two of his current holders and on paper the us early favorites to beat this success on home ice. last year russia failed to get to the semifinals losing two underdogs switzerland in over two and now the players a gets a proof that it was nothing more than a blip but there is still lots of work ahead to get out there in sydney discovering we've just gathered and this is a fast training session as i fill in lots of things didn't turn out well said the players just try to remember each other's game and some basic tactics and moves we devoted a big part of the training to power plays as i'm sure that can decide the fate of

the world title. in the first encounter to russia will face their bitter rivals canada but the russians were unsure of their months ago and we joined in decidedly positive mood their read mission dinners took part in then you'll see the game to want to end all star teams representing the three canadian lakes and on their eighth to tampa they've finally won the so-called super serious for the first time ever it's a victory. that gives them confidence but also puts on depression nevertheless this junior players believe they could raise the next trophy very soon on january the fifth the closing day of the world championship will bring you much of the fortunate that we do understand that our fans expect a lot from us and we'll do our best to end the losing streak and win a gold medal at the photos in the book i don't think we'll be under pressure we just need to get on the rink and show our best no matter who our opponents are the swedes all the canadians. a team of for russian junior players haven't won the world championship since two thousand and three this is then next chance to prove

their worth it concern you but out of r t. moving to the moscow region our russia's paralympic as our base adjusting to a new sport sledge hockey appeared in the country just twelve months ago but the score there aiming for a podium place of the twenty fourteen games has led to mr locke reports. by suing six players in each team and hawkie stakes it's almost like a regular ice hockey but this is called sledge and it is more players with physical disabilities one of the most popular sports in the paralympic games program it's only one year old in russia the first ever national championship took place in two thousand and nine. and we managed to get all in this or equipment only last year we had to buy it in canada because unfortunately there is no production of this equipment in our country the first international desk for the russian team was

weeks we can sprint internment in the most courageous the home side faced rivals from norway south korea and the cherry probably a precious lack of experience showed up and they were struggling to contend that the winds however after wards braun's paralympic manolis norway gave credit to the holes to russia's levels of four i think they have a lot a lot to build to build on and. in europe probably. ten top ten i think for sure a bright future sledge holding russia is also no doubt for the russian paralympic committee. to go who are currently in talks with some sponsors i think will sign agreements soon sledge hockey is a very entertaining sport therefore it's interesting for the sponsors. and the national sledge hockey team will hope to get more investment and draw bigger attention as they're aiming to wean medals at the paralympic games of two hundred fourteen in saudi but here's iraq r t. and finally
