season with their world champion sebastian vettel on pole position for the second race of the season this sunday in malaysia after winning the first race in australia a battle qualified a tenth of the second head of mclaren's lewis hamilton supplying circuit boards other drivers are not clever bird on the grid alongside other mclaren jenson button and the german credited his position to use the kinetic energy recovery system which reduces power from braking to boost acceleration. very happy and we called them and so i think to the guys in the team especially to the guys with the system we've got a lot of criteria obviously after the last race for not having run it all the time it's something we were proud of but we came here and here we saw most of our problems our problems and. i think if we would not have it today then we would not be here both of us so it's a great achievement and compliments to the those guys and you know we all work hand in hand and. if this is the reward we keep working i was very pleased.

god us masters northern ireland's rory mcilroy was still the bouncer catch after the second round but for the world number one tiger woods also produced a storming finish to go joint third mcelroy carried on from where he left off finishing his second round on ten under our overall. two shot lead over his playing partner australian case and day is making its debut at the masters cinchona knows the best round of the tournament so far eight under par but they'll both be wary of what's happening behind them tiger woods has shot up the leaderboard for bird is on the front line mix in some bogus back him starting to further run off five birdies on the back nine saw him clearly six under par to propel alongside k.j. choi thirty three shots off the lead so there is still everything to play for. how to stay patient with all of those try to stay patient. you know mystical seven by three point seven and. always reduce his look shows even par for the day and on

a par for the turn at the end this just put. futuro quarterback like i've been right there a dog and i go hard it's obviously going to be a lot of fun out there tomorrow. same time you're going to be nervous. but you know that's that's natural and you know you welcome that and you know i can deal with them pretty well and able to feel them pretty well before and just go out there and enjoy it. finally russia hasn't enjoyed the best of times in winter sports over the last couple of years where there's one area where russia is leading the world in the sport of paris and richard van portly caught up with the south who shot some lines on the spectacular disappear. it's not likely to become an olympic event anytime soon but russia are proving to be world leaders in the new sport of paris ski produce a plume boys parachuting onto a piece and donning the skis and slowing once we go into the bottom of the slope

what will pop up is behead coach of the russian national team and he explains how it evolved. the sport competition was born in and of. in. competition between rescue services and i would pick. a man swarbrick is the sport must be very good mountain ski skier and a. very good person with both men and women compete with the ultimate team to win the world championships the speech is popular with russia's military personnel who learn how to parachute joining that service. oh look the top of emphasizes discipline which is no more important or true but despite being just in a country where a lack of training facilities at the moment unfortunately in present russia we have

not many many places for ski training. our. country as you know would be. training in your own mountains for the all and now i think you will have good facilities and good possibilities in sorting that could all change out of such a games and the name for the sport of piracy is to eventually become a little bigger bends and put up of hopes one day this will happen as the only way you continue to help the sport develop. into a sport and. to came close to clearly and try to shore up. nice and very visible support. for. sochi two thousand and fourteen and also you tried to organize

chamber and she was there because all international community were interested about it and asking you're always in the competition. channels of. paris he's certainly a sport that not many people have heard about how it has plenty of potential to develop in russia especially with the number of new ski resorts popping up around the country and given the success of the russian team leaders this can only help increase its popularity. pleat r.t. . and that's all the sport i think.

chosen from among many. he was given a clear cut mission. a mission he successfully accomplished. became the first ever man in outer space. hero of the soviet union one of the best known persons in the world. all his thoughts were focused on flight to could he ever think that his life's work would cost him his last. one happened in those few seconds. and what city good season sealed barrels still. keurig are any. place on r.g.p. . when the news is not enough. when something really crucial.
