resort to staging its first international competition at the brand new. track the second day european cup stage had been delayed by heavy snow that finally went ahead. and if i was first went out after the last twenty one of the downhill events in a truck that had also been tested by president that it was to curse him but as a contest the track is such a stressful time for the two pretty radical impacts that i was in charge it was such a good example for future building. persons well. it was as well we had lots of difficulties due to the heavy snowfall and i showed you was very tight but we completed the venue on time it could be compared to passing a tough exam i hope build in other venues will be much easier thanks to the experience we've gained to help build in this one mind you prepare so much for the winter games is no easy thing firstly because of the unpredictable weather you can never tell if you have enough snow but try doing all we can to avoid taking chances that's what artificial snow is one of our priorities. and finally the first leg is

a respect gymnastics gone play series is due to take place in moscow in a week's time and i. caught up with the russian team to find out how they're preparing for the new season. rhythmic gymnastics has always been one of russia's trademarks pools and while hard times at his home all the athletes recently the gymnasts maintain their top billing under coach irina being there the twenty eleven season is an important period for the team with the world championships right i had and next summer's london olympics. roach ing the major part of the school will start the season at the most school grand prix next week with any program of levy and conniver has an exciting new program we'll get a chance to see it at the recent training finals and some are very kind of core didn't make it there because she was injured but with be all right next week general cordoning is also here having passed the world cup qualification round in montreal there will be for me in all four disciplines here in moscow if it's

also part of the big plan winner sours most of them will be involved in either competitive or exhibit level at major events there's not on the tour and yet we've got some good juniors all girls with very pretty but we can't forget the children grow up to become adults it won't matter where they came from anyone who has achieved a good sporting result will get a chance to perform to the moscow grand prix featuring athens from thirty five countries will take place at the luzhniki arena next weekend promising a lot of glossy performances as well as the best in death look at the new kids on the block the brush our teeth. and that's all the school for this bullets in sight for me and for.

are. going. to rally will sell lots of beer will. they will wear uniforms that will damage the black. but very little damming the white. and they are the key to our problem our own writing.

etna i've spoke. but. it

was. oh these three terrorists killed tack on a minibus in the north caucasus just before an explosion reportedly hit the ski resort they were heading toward police are now investigating a suspected car bomb in the same town. we can see of course in the middle east that lead government is selling to repressive regimes that would leave with dozens more people dying in anti-government protests sweeping the middle east the u.k. is for selling the arms used to kill demonstrators. and cash for convicts former inmates claim in the in the u.s. clean big business is responsible for the country having the largest prison population in the world.

three am in the russian capital i'm mad très are good to have you with us here on r t our top story at least three people have been killed two injured after a gunman fired a tourist minibus in russia's republic of coverage. a few hours later a bomb reportedly blew up blowing up the cable tower in a ski lift in the resort town of. in recent developments hotels in the resort have been evacuated after a suspected car bomb was discovered in the center of the packed tourist town bomb disposal experts are now checking the vehicle artie's cattery knows are about has the details. despite the fact that it is of course located in russia's volatile north caucuses it has been perhaps one of the most calm and stable republics so these events that have unfolded in the last twenty four hours are certainly very stressful what originally started as an ordinary ski trip ended in tragedy when five people were making.
