these for instance on t.v. don't calm. the clock is ticking for colonel gadhafi supporters to accept an extended deadline for surrender meanwhile nato has vowed to stay in libya to keep pressure on the defiant alstad leader. a un investigation slams the deadly israeli raid on a gaza bound aid flotilla last year as unacceptable by the review finds israel's walking aid off the region is legal. the international war crimes tribunal asks r.t. to hand over an interview with former bosnian serb general rocco latif from nineteen i'm five at the channel managed to obtain an analogy of the x. army chief who standing trial over alleged crimes of genocide made serious allegations against us peacekeepers in bosnia. time now for scores of aid

enders here with us and you've got the news on springs area some gold yellow there and he's got through to the semifinals of the men's two hundred meters at the world championships in south korea not that we were expecting anything different but it was his first race since being disqualified from the hundred going to final i've worn out plus of course a big night for russia's football say. hello they're going to watch in the sport and these are the headlines russia has choices to make ahead of tonight's crucial euro qualifier. with macedonia is there a new coach john toshack reports an upset. plus it's a hot day for the top seeds at the u.s. open is the big guns fire their way into round three. and russia take another silver at the world and legs championships but it's america who are in the podium.

but first to the euro two thousand and twelve four ball qualifiers and russia could go top of group b. on friday if they win at home to macedonia and other results go their way i think of the car side of one of the three teams level at the summit on thirteen points and will be looking for the maximum return against their opponents who have no chance of reaching next year's finals is rich poor flick. probably will be to start a vital double header of the russians as they were told not to qualify for next year's finals in poland and ukraine because they can't sign a paper republic of ireland next choose d. but first up on macedonia and russia managed to beat one nil in the last encounter and scott here in october. certainly won't be easy. probably the same as the first game. there for a lot of close in to. the first game so we have to wait and see russia will be will vote first choice keeper ego i can think if he's going to have to spend

a long time on the sidelines of the injuries needed months but just one more thing if will replace a serious car number one and he actually saved a penalty the last time he played against macedonia almost four years ago at a cannibal to force a pair of a very good rubbers and a center of defense as it is suspended and a sixty three year old says it is to strike a goal an undue poses a particular threat in greece where the most dangerous is this one. i mean the individual's ability to do so so we are thinking over but against me decision will be who partners under the a shard in the tank roman pavlyuchenko and pub apocalypse yank haven't had much game time for their clubs recently alexander has recalled certainly as he's new to fifteen goals as he needed to season including a hatchet in his last game and he could well with a place in the starting line up was going to be huge next few days for the russian national team as they look to try and qualify for euro two thousand and twelve

championships and code and ukraine but first up is macedonia where only three points were blue for the caprica outside dancey moscow well this is have macedonia have held their final training session ahead of the clash and the head coach don't touch it was a case of trying to learn the names of his plays anything in charge of the team for three days and feels he knows the russian pays almost as well having come up against them twice while he was manager of wales. if when i was it was we played russians twice the colts run because hiddink was in charge and looking at the russian squad now a lot of them a still very much involved there apart from pan deaf we don't know too much about the macedonian side at all but i had three days training with them it's a lot not a lot but obviously i know them a lot better now than i did when we could go on to have a cap on time on their physical main danger yeah such a really well i think time difference played into milan is obviously the one player that universally is known but we have two or three young players you know who

will be playing one of them in champions league this year one of them in europe will league and another strike in poland to look at so hopefully in the future the people will know more than and then just stand there i mean with you can wait for the points on friday night with guns well we have to do you know we for games to play if we win a four then we can qualify we're not in a good position but what we have to try and do i think is to go out and try to win each game you know we. we need to try and get a winning mentality into these plays the same as possible but i have to say a very very difficult place to start is this russian team better than one you played wales. similar and i think similar i was surprised to see that they didn't qualify for the last autumn and the last european championship surprised me that leaving qualified i like to take this opportunity which in

a goalkeeper a speedy recovery as well i can for as a supercomputer nobody likes to see any player suffer an injury like that so hopefully he will be back soon but no i think the russians are always difficult opposition russia will always be difficult. for anybody on a should really always be favorites to qualify i think and you know shove in despite his poor form recently to be still danger man v you don't see very much again. difficult always to settle in a foreign country but i think i sharpen his play some very very good games for arsenal people talk that maybe. not totally satisfied with him he's on the bench a lot but i've seen a shot of him perform really well for us now as well and he said he's a difficult opponent it's ok bye. tennis the top seeds have been the third round of the u.s. open world number one novak djokovic dropped just one game in his victory over collets but a lot of argentina has had an incredible year so far losing any team matches the

whole season and he showed why again last night taking the first two sets against a lot i love the argentine did get a consolation games in the final set but it was a master class and drop the bitch in toronto great. roger federer also in sparking a call here he enjoyed an easy straight sets win against israel didn't set a six three six two six two to score federer better in every department and afterward said he was simply superior. not much trouble most of. the posts were also for the upper of. the what it's like. it's top of your call and . i just think it was a period today and it was a good match for me when the reason this isn't it was a trick your for the rhythm that's why i was hoping to get the first break in the first. another match is russia's new kind of agenda made the round with its least

a tito starts a seed mardy fish was again in good form an easy win for him against a new zealand jeezy thomas but it's the nine seed also three last one quality for their course the upset of the day the word mandate defeating seven see one face in five sets. and figure it out play a whole bunch from very good level. maybe this are of course in the very very well in the old miles but from the baseline number i was trying to be very simple in time on the move because you know these moves are very very good old always stop to play again for a good review now the women's number one caroline wozniacki powered her way into round three losing only two games in her. victory against iran to roost from the netherlands. and also an easy day for former french open champion francesca schiavone the italian only need fifty

three minutes to defeat down a lucrative courageous six one six one in the school this one. look at other matches russia's fifteen seats for atlantic is not so overhead give problems a against britain's a lead above the russian undersea five the changes at the seventeen seed also drew to the ground as are the ten and eleven seeds and they paid to beach community bank u.b.s. . and serena williams was just too strong a match against macquarie cry kerik the former number one spot of games to love up inside twenty minutes and went on to drop just one game. let's turn to the world athletics championships rest pretty same boat has got through his first race since being disqualified from one hundred meter final and making the semifinals of the two hundred metres by winning his seat come to really like the defending champ was a bit slow at the blocks but maybe he's a false start one hundred metres was still on his mind when he won in a time of twenty point three zero seconds also earlier today russia's women

qualified for the final four by four hundred meter relay and later russia's mariya nova goes for a medal in the jasmine while yesterday it was a silver for usher in the high jump event was won by this man american jesse williams he played one way to thirty five centimeters to beat alexi take to the gold key to few it jumps overall it was an excellent day for the usa as kenny ballingall simpson triumphed in the women's fifteen hundred meters here polishing to be one the four hundred meter hurdles russian italia and two came bronze after so far. and great britain finally claimed their first gold medal of the tournament the top gong going the way of the next summer olympics hosts a courtesy of david great a welshman gaining the upper hand in the men's four hundred meter hurdles. this me twice hockey where the last. cup is up for grabs at the moment for teens are competing in the tournament ahead of the hail season to scar beat atlanta eighty one over time while in the other game in am i thrashed parts act three neil

alexander payne dominating this match go in every period arching cheer north got the first followed by sprite from magic of appeal and dominic korn yak also a good night for the nominees we keep alexander a shout out to the national international for the russian international day before his former club after spending four years in life. when you know every game is about psychology that's why we mustn't underestimate this week three of the tournament itself oh it seems it really will bluff and defense in the second line and spawns are just didn't look strong as a team this evening as far as my old performance goes i'm very happy to be playing again and it clean sheet in this match only makes me more satisfied with. russia have kept up their perfect start at the european basketball championships in lithuania with david glassman edging georgia in a closely fought team match russia but
