this world cup but unfortunately last couple of games we've had a bit of a blip but in doing that hopefully it's it's you know how it's made them realize that you know it's not going to be as easy as some people think that's what a real issue for us to his fans and media let's you know we'll cups you know very very difficult to run and for new zealand they're going to play every guy like it's like the world cup final so you do this could be a blessing in disguise almost just to get expectations than a little because in new zealand a few months ago or something funny you know i think you know i think in terms of the why the new zealand plates i struggle with such ease at the start of the trial i should say i'm a very sort of thought that's that will happen a guy and it's really came out and really what we're going to look to the all blacks. have compared to some of the bright gammas and if you don't either write down. more often than not the team the ball nice write down the win the game and i showed that kind of messianic game with three four weeks earlier mccord put on what

. the right going to score a show and that's rubbish i didn't try the world. did against australia you know a month earlier that anything's possible if you reply well we can solve it you can already see inside your people and you know i think i see injuries and this was with the teams that had injuries as a concern and we saw that with the withdrawing kind of kind of not plying it on charts and i've been applying not helping one hundred percent but just upset the balance of the team and that's why what combinations as i've watched with you no injuries is a concern for graham henry karen read bandages at night because there's a there's a problem but he got called from the time and been doing that because somebody else in the opportunity in fact to face i took his opportunity really well against a striker last week so hopefully we've got to cover the eyes was. unfunny the modern pentathlon world championships gets underway in moscow today

among the athletes preparing for the tall is alexander listen to any join the russian team three years ago a top off as the story. russia has always been a powerhouse in the manse more than. three gold medals from the us the real impacts is the best evidence of the team's dominance and because of the depth of the nation still and the russians could field several teams in their own right and it will be a tough challenge for the coaches to choose the two athletes that will compete at the london olympics and twenty twelve. editions of the work to do the work that we managed to save the training camps for pentathlon after the soviet union collapsed or we did a stupid one and a half million dollars in developing this camp and now it's one of the best in the world so we've also got a powerful squad the problem is that only two of our athletes can compete to be illin picks so we have very tight competition in the national team. and three years

ago the russian team also acquired an unexpected reinforcement nowadays it's quite common for athletes to change their citizenship in order to get into power to ninety to take part in big can petition but alexander listen story is something completely different the twenty three year old was born in below and got into sport by learning to swim when he was six but at the age of twenty one his life took a sudden change waterless that's the girl with the new people in the bella is team coach phil olds with my former coach in the national coach wanted to get rid of me soon enough of a diagnosis of heart disease and told me i was unsuitable for professional sport there was a hard thing to hear but i quit spores and got a job this is something about however luckily russia see how plan of invited me to their training countermove and made several examinations they provided i'm fully fit to compete so i sit here in russia fortunately listening got back into the. spork less than a year after he had quit and since then he has won the russian championship twice

now the british government faces a legal challenge over its decision not to allow a new inquest into the death of weapons expert david kelly in two thousand and three well the group of doctors have questioned the official version of events that kelly committed suicide and the queues authorities of a major cover up artist or emmett has more now from london. more than eight years since the death of u.n. weapons inspector talked to david kelly and still no inquest following his almost skiing as the source of a report saying tony blair's government knew iraq had no weapons of mass destruction before person invaded the country kelly was found dead in woods near his home a good except suicide was recorded despite what many see as conflicting evidence no one's ever said questions under oath about kelly's death and all medical and scientific reports relating to it were secretly classified something which has never been legally explained but it hasn't gone away this week talked to david how

pain is demanding that the question of holding an inquest be reopened he's challenging a decision by attorney general dominic grieve who ruled out holding a coroner's inquest in june citing what he called overwhelming evidence that the u.n. weapons inspector committed suicide but david help him and a group of other doctors are distinctly underwhelmed by the evidence. of this great cross fire. the lead. with. become pain has popular support readers of the daily mail newspaper have to natal around fifty six thousand dollars in just a week to help finance the appeal how pain and his fellow campaign is hoping this will lead to a full inquest into kelly's death many suspect foul play just subsequent

governments cover up. cover ups are normal practice for american and the european security services that's according to the human rights commissioner for the council of europe especially one of constant presence thomas harmer burke says the practice have person best patients and interview that's coming your way. next hour but here's a preview. well there is an enormous pressure from washington to keep all this secret in fact instructions from from with the support of the way to us not to give any facts so therefore it's not easy to investigate but i think that some of the european governments have been aboard they have to decide where they think that the corporation of between the security agencies are more important than to look into human rights violations and break the most fear of impunity is not acceptable we have states within the states who are run on undemocratic places violating human

rights the security agencies must people under their control and they are not for the moment in my opinion. terrorist activity has been weakened in russia but it remains a major threat that's according to the meeting at the head of all the russian president was speaking at the third global policy forum in the russian city of yet a slum all the problems of a multicultural society a concept that suffered huge blows recently in western europe were also among the issues he touched ortiz and he so now it reports from the fore. multiculturalism certainly is the main theme at the forum in general and that was something that presidents meet remains to be defined by you very much so in his keynote speech spoke about russia as a whole how as a country it's so diverse ethnically also income wise and how really the country needs to diversify its economy for it to grow he also warns that he doesn't believe it's something that needs to be done revolutionary really fast he spoke more about

sort of this steady evolution and that criticism that russia is not moving fast enough is not something that the country should listen to but you keep going on its steady way towards modernization which of course is a big thing for president made it his main platform as president he also spoke about multiculturalism in europe and western europe especially what we've been seeing the past couple of months violence on the streets quite a few terror attacks and he spoke about russia how russia has been fighting terrorism quite successfully recently nevertheless remains a very serious threat you go into the dangers of not being able to deal with integration and how that can of course lead to a very serious security threat to the president also speaking about the situation more hinting i would say in north africa and the middle east warning that you can't force other people to live the way you live and a lot of critics recently have been agreeing with that that you can't take a country in trying to make it

a democratic country that things need to be slowly done and that each country very well has the right through its own kind of democracy archy's and he said i'll be reporting from there and if you want to see more of president get a speech at the forum we've got all the highlights for you if you're just log on to feed video dot r.t. dot com for freak out let's. if you really really take three times four charges three arrangement three. three stooges free. download free broadcast live video for your media projects free media oh god our t.v. dot com. in israel angry protesters have clashed with police and television vaster authorities move to dismantle a tent city the cap was part of a nationwide protest against the high cost of living and social inequality party's

policy or reports i was standing in front of the mayor's house here in tel aviv where several dozen protesters and get it they screaming at the mayor to resign they point in corrupt and they calling on him to go home now this follows a protest wave some two hundred demonstrators clashed with police in front of the city hall building they tried to storm the building they were throwing stones and exited and some forty people were arrested we've been told of several incidents wait protesters were brutally beaten up by the police this is all in response to only wednesday morning when mystical workers started tearing up several streets where people have pitched tents for the better part of two months this was a surprise because only the government did that protesters had until the end of the month to dismantle the tents and urge them to do so peacefully but we saw people's tents were taken away people's personal belongings were taken away and the result was the protesters have called the government thieves nazis and warned them that they going to be upping this kind of resistance in the coming days these protesters

have been on the streets of several cities for the better part of two months they're demanding issues of social justice they were cruising the natanya who government are putting too much attention on international affairs and not taking the kissing enough on what is happening internally in this country just this past weekend there was the largest demonstration in israel's sixty three year history more than. four hundred thousand people took to the streets urging the government to pay attention to the demands. on team. well let's look at the more international headlines this hour house of the libyan leader moammar gadhafi has denied speculation that he's seeking refuge in neighboring niger or some of the soil listen i've already fled but in his latest audio message the fugitive colonel has also vowed to never leave libya that he reiterated his plans to continue fighting against the rebels who he referred to as mercenaries traitors this statement follows going to flip the reports regarding the colonel's whereabouts as

the manhunt for him continues. syrian troops have intensified their crackdown on the volatile city of homs with up to twenty people killed and the latest violence activists say government forces are hunting for a group of soldiers who defected to the opposition comes after president assad's government delayed a planned arab league visit expected to begin on wednesday last month the syrian authorities rejected an arab league statement calling for an end to the bloodshed. and as the u.s. prepares to mark ten years since about eleven attacks the results of what george bush dogged a war on terror are coming under scrutiny a decade of military campaigns overseas has been accompanied by headlines of civilian deaths secret prisons and torture and as we begin our special coverage of the adverse or e r d's going nature karen takes a look at whether all that succeeded in making america a safer place or a more dangerous one. i mean one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in history i'm sure that in

a decade of anti terror campaigns across the globe. but is america and the world now a safer place ten years on the most recent nine eleven commission report card gives aviation security in the u.s. the worst rate an air as for terrorists experts say the methods used to fight them have spawned even more extremism torture and the abuses which were just put out a great. river think it is the highest level. and that has significantly set its back on the world and they're trying to keep them america's there gave long campaign on terror has created a new phenomena and war without borders and as many say without rules torture rape and murder that took place at the u.s. run prison in abu ghraib iraq as well as other u.s. prisons overseas brought global condemnation but key decision makers in the bush administration say what they did was in the best interest of their country and they

would do the same again call it torture you think it should still be a tool yes rendition yes secret prisons yes wiretap. to prove that george tenet head of the cia. told dick cheney what the cheney wanted to hear oh yes it's working mr vice president we're getting great information and we're stopping terrorist attacks that is order. the fact that there hasn't been a terrorist attack on the scale of nine eleven on the u.s. soil is often attributed to the harsh methods used in the last decade as a war on terror but counterterrorism experts say the fact that there is are successful recruiting thousands of new members these days does not add to security in the u.s. and the whole world for that matter we've often seen other extremist networks like . or throw things in response to things like you're throwing that thing off if.

there were some way it was off within a diversification of the other brain organization in pakistan u.s. drone strikes have killed thousands of civilians and maybe it only a handful of actual terrorists and many of the victims' loved ones seek revenge by joining radical groups others gather in protest asking when will the killing stop but experts say those pleas mean nothing when washington needs the chase to go on we have made a cottage industry if not a much more than a cottage industry out of the what my former boss colin powell has called the terrorist industrial complex lots of people are making lots of money off of this so-called global war on terror our war on terror. begins with. but it does not in there listening to george bush's declaration of war on terror from ten years ago one is left wondering whether.
