it's been twenty four years of hurt so far if you know twenty eight years of but somehow i say probably every speaking couple of months early i think there is even one male in favorites to defeat south africa just last weekend straight to sunday differences assess the boring going on moments in the rounds but never saw obviously the situation for us since we last won the world cup as a little mike we need to get rid of. and museums as as a team a done very well the last three three years preparing for this world cup force in the last couple of games we've had a bit of a blip but in doing that hopefully it's it's you know the prize fight them realize that it's not going to be as easy as some people think that's what a reality check for us to those fans and media lets you know will collapse you know very very difficult to win and for new zealand they've got to play every guy like it's like so look at fran she did this could be a blessing in disguise almost just to get expectations down a little because i mean also in new zealand a few months ago i was dumped on

a you know i think you know i think in terms of the why the easy one they struggled with such ease at the start of the trial i shouldn't leave us with the bats that i had from a guy and i misread it came out and really sort of gotten through to the all blacks and i just have a dose of the bright demos and if you don't like the breakdown. more often than not the team adonai sprite down the one that diamond and i showed that kind of mess and again we're three four weeks earlier richard mccord put on what the right going to spray show and this rubbish i tried world. did against australia you know. that anything is possible to feel if you play well we can solve it you can already see inside your team well you know i think obviously inference and that's what with all things that injuries is a concern and we saw that with the with the right kind of kind of not applying to adam thompson having applying not helping one hundred percent absolutely. balance

of the same and that's why our conversations are so vital you know injuries as is a concern for grabbing right back here in great bandages it. is a problem but he'll be back so hyper about quarter final time and but in doing that because somebody has an option there that debate i took this opportunity really well against australia last week so hopefully we've got there. is. interest. and finally the modern pentathlon world championships gets underway in moscow the. money athletes are paying for the tournament alexander listened. to join the russian teams three years ago and explains why. russia has always been a powerhouse in the man small and powerful three gold medals from the last three only because it is the best evidence of the team's dominance then 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 their to ask police that will compete

at the london olympics and twenty three on. leadership and what to do with the world that we managed to save the training camps for and tackle and after the soviet union collapsed we've invested more than a half million dollars in developing this campaign and now it's one of the best in the world has got a powerful scored the problem is that only two of our athletes can compete to be an index 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 but unity to take part in big competitions but alexander really soon story is something completely different the twenty three year old was born in bellew's and getting just bored by learning to swim when he was six but a page of twenty one his life took a sudden change waterless that's the little sister. team coach bill olds with my

former coach and the national coach wanted to get rid of me so he made up a fake diagnosis of heart disease and told me i was unsuitable for professional sports but there was a whole thing to him and i with us but i quit sports and got a job this is invariably however likely russia's crucial example on of invited me to a training camp out of nowhere and made several examinations the combat i am fully fit to compete with so i stayed here in russia and fortunately listen got back into the sport less than a year after he had and since then he has won the russian championship twice was a runner at the world championships last year and the world rankings this season and the belorussian leads a very strong team that includes two world champions really after all of insanity and double olympic champion and dreamy see it is that. i worried so much when i got back to training i looked at two time olympic champion i've seen my save and wondered how can i become such a legendary athlete the level seem to be unreachable for me but i started to train

with the team and the guys showed me how ultimately is hard to train every fencing touch every second being in swimming in running every full course right every accurate shot can make the difference between bill exactly battling for a place at the olympic games out of the ability russian has added more can petition to the russian team while russia have gained and their felipe alou said to dominate in the near future and could be a strong contender for them at the olympic games in london in twenty two well it's already. and i'll stay with us for further news on a plane crash that killed almost all of russia's champion i saw. me.

really believe science. from. the. top stories on our t.v. the world's ice hockey community is united in grief after russia's little motive team was almost entirely wiped out in a playground in the city of yet a small forty three people are confirmed dead while two survivors are in critical condition. the u.k. government faces the legal action as doctors demand a new inquiry into the shady death of the weapons inspector he was a battle would reveal the new iraq had no w m d's ahead of the invasion. of the middle east and build up the palestinian sort of peaceful campaign for statehood ahead of the you whether it was colonies or all tensions grow as police clashed with protesters calling for a better government. but also twenty years in an american jail or for pilot

detained in the us sting operation in liberia is sometimes for conspiring to smuggle drugs but hostile slimes is arrest and british and as illegal. just after five pm here in the russian capital you're watching t.v. and we begin with what has been called ice hockey is darkest day and of course as sasser affecting sport in russia's recent history forty three people are confirmed dead after a plane carrying one of the country's top teams the committee of yes lovell crashed in the city to bury its name the only two survivors are in critical condition one being a team player and the other a crew member will go through have been taken to moscow for further treatment or to sean thomas is near the crash site. which is a somber day here in the city of you are sol as the community reels from the tragic

incident that happened on wednesday killing the locomotive team as they were on their way to their first incident this happened about four o two on wednesday afternoon as their plane did not make liftoff at the end of the runway burst into a ball of flames after clipping an antenna and killing all but two on board there were forty three confirmed dead two did survive at this time one of them of course being alexander gilliam often. played it for the hours local team as well as the national team he suffered burns over ninety percent of his of body as well as has gone undergone multiple surgeries. including of his respiratory system another crew member of the plane that crashed. suffered a broken femur those two survivors have now been transported and have a ride in moscow so that they can get the best medical attention and care available to them so that they could possibly recover from this tragedy through it at the

past night and that day this is the beginning of a three day mourning period for the people of the jaroslava. immediately vigil started happening as i have friends and family members came chanting team slogan so that they could be together in this moment of grief and have the night of the accident wednesday night and then all throughout first day people gathered at central churches in the sagal so that they could be together and share in the grief as well we had the opportunity to speak to some of the people as to their recollections and memories of the people on the scene and here is their grief in their words but in europe it seems like you didn't fancy christine for many years. from child to plan to moving against for instance irreparable it's like losing a family member. it was i knew one of the players he was my neighbor and he was

a great person he's got two little kids left. when we saw the news on t.v. i just burst into tears i still can't grasp how it could happen there used to be a team and know the reason. that it hurts so much when they were everything to us we'll remember them forever but i wish they were alive and a few anecdotes to share with you about this tragedy that aren't actually related to the incident at all but one of the one of the life of the coaches was on her way back from vacation when she learned that her husband was in this accident and was asked to come and identify the body at the morgue in that case on her way to the morgue she got into a minor car accident she is ok but also a mother of one of the players on upon learning the news we are told suffered a heart attack as well after hearing that her son who was involved in this incident

another story that we're told is a flight attendant twenty nine years old on this flight was married just three months ago and had told her friends and family that she was planning to retire from this business so that she could raise a family and have children and of course the people here are going to be gathering up for the next few days sharing their stories sharing their community spirit so that they can begin the healing process after such a national tragedy a wednesday's plane crash happened on the first day of the new season of the kontinental hockey league and many of those who perished playing for their countries and the real stars of the sport our sports partners joins me now for more in the studio ok this is a great tragedy in itself and certainly a shock to the sporting world what reaction have you been getting so far we've had reaction as unsurprisingly globally. we were listening to some of the earlier quotes in the sports world and some of the players that were in the n.h.l. as well as occasional were describing ice hockey as

a family so many of the the team members came from other countries we have ten different nationalities in the aristotle side so the reaction is global it starts we hear from the fans and also from the highest to the lowest and the great and the good and we can also hear from players themselves like they actually used to play for locker and she's not going to play for scar we can hear from him. so. how it's all country and my friends going to. be as we go or because i'm going to use just one good way to force these three families to. sweet stuff they share with the story we're going to be. your. honour's your last a better sense of a gun show who plays the officer center says the idea that you get from the n.h.l.

everybody coming together in shock and grief this is a one hundred team an entire generation of players essentially any use of the future of. the rebuilding the example that's been used is the fact according sample that we have which is that which is a football example of a team that was seen as naff was practiced on it was originally part of the soviet union and they were promoted in one thousand nine hundred ninety the top flight they go on ironically it's tragically ironically also to play on the minsk and whilst they were on a training collided midair and seventeen players and coaches work shows and the theory the practice they had afterwards was that really then sent a player from every team to make up a new team the idea being that growth and something new something good perhaps could come from this and this is a suggestion that's been made by commentators across russia and also the greats in the groups are all in favor of boosting this team and we can hear from some of the legends of the sport they're also right yes level with this idea. but i just

question of. the ice hockey family mourns the loss of one of the best teams it was a multinational tree with a unique group of players and the international sports community sharing our grief it was an outstanding team and our priority will be to fields and you lock my teeth . huge tragedy with a. big international are different girls are not the only great hardship players. the smallest good people. know it's not going to be an argument with some support that you know for the summer so sister. company managers. there are people on this will support the team some liars out. there professional or could say. that no one came from being successful. dozens of calls was

a true. five call some of the players we try to do the wall full of from what you hear it will be said if you're good you're for the courtroom and there nobody over there was a decided ways of sailor so it also is that when things are sold most of the clubs even look at causes there is a degree of good best players the bulk of what you're feeling has a history of you know slower record if you will but still. as you have a lot of zaandam is that if the head of the k h l nobody even needs to be told people are actually volunteering to come forward and help we're building a team and they have as i hear already announced a new coach the former you think i should get it but i'll be on his coming in so he had a meeting kyle despite the tragedy as we often see in sports there's a lot of unity so it's good to see that a process has already started thanks very much for that perspective kay from the escorting site. well that dimitri medvedev has visited the crash site and laid flowers in tribute to the victims of the plane disaster in yugoslavia and that the

site the russian president said the number of allies must be reduced dramatically he also ordered the transport ministry to pay special attention to pilot training and russia's civil aviation sector saying of those not up to the job must be sacked but that of added that the entire industry must undergo serious changes. the president had better vulture of his plans for the international policy for in the us level to visit the site of the crash later arrived to address the global. point the tragedy here in your first novel good global policy for continued for a second day for the world's most pressing issues were discussed the president's read to me treated gave a keynote speech joined me and he said now wait for more interesting. and a decade since nine eleven we begin our special coverage of the anniversary commemorating the tragedy of the world that's coming up shortly. now the british government faces court action from

a group of doctors over the death of weapons expert david kelly in two thousand and three they're pushing for a new inquiry after the first reached a verdict of suicide kelley was behind the report showing that britain knew there were no weapons of mass destruction in iraq before joining the invasion. but found out that the evidence in the case isn't as clear as previously thought. 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 verdict of 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 explains but it hasn't gone away this week talk 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 proving. greek cross. did not. lead. 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 at the subsequent

governments coverup. that was laura reported palestinians have started a campaign for statehood ahead of the september twentieth vote in the united nations they carried a letter to the local you were. saying their peaceful demonstrations will continue until palestine becomes a member state as are reports the whole region is in a state of build up to the vote. well the palestinian authority officially launched its campaign for statehood today thursday and in a formal written to the u.n. secretary chief banky moon it urged the international body to recognize tellus lenience and just demolished now what we understand is that the campaign will involve a series of events in the run up to the opening session of the un general assembly on september the trains here it has been dubbed the national campaign for palestine state one hundred and ninety three and to launch it some one hundred palestinian high ranking officials and activists gathered today for his day at the un

headquarters in ramallah for a short ceremony of both the israeli government as well as the obama administration is against the separation and the u.s. has sent a formal request to the palestinian president mahmoud abbas asking him not to go ahead with those at a bus has rejected as we are hearing some rumblings behind the scenes that israelis and palestinians have been meeting informally and in secret to discuss the possibility of possibly postponing this declaration that we have no confirmation of this what we've witnessed here particularly in the last two months is a build up of anger frustration and discontent within the israeli public particularly leveled at him it's another government these have been the largest protests in this country's history and just yesterday protesters clashed here in tel aviv with police a number of arrests were held people accuse the police of treating them brutally and all of this was because the government has started removing tents from the

streets of several cities despite the fact that earlier it's said it would give protesters and till the end of the month to clean. their act and the government. and in boardrooms for discussions rather than on the street so what protesters are saying here is that they really cannot trust the government and there's also the concern that as the government turns its attention to what is happening externally these are september the twentieth it will no longer even listen to the concerns being addressed here within the israeli society and the russian pilot who was convicted of drug smuggling earlier this year has been son has two twenty years in prison by a us court cars and didn't have a shotgun was detained in liberia in two thousand and ten and transported to the u.s. but moscow says his arrest and rendition were illegal and will seek his repatriation are he's an associate you're going to explain this case builds a major precedent this is the first time when a russian citizen is sentenced to an american prison for an intent to participate in a crime in a case that was built by special agents posing as drug dealers arrested in

a third country in this case the idea now your shank will be edge eligible for parole in as much as thirteen years we know that his defense team has thirty deals days to file an appeal but u.s. officials can take as much as two years to consider this appeal now the man has repeatedly pled not guilty in this case hopeful until the last minute himself and his family his mother and wife who are here to support him broke out in tears in the courtroom today as the sentence was announced i'm now convinced we have nothing to hope for believe him i hope the judge would be reasonable upright and most food and he just said no you think it's cruel but i sentence you to twenty years behind bonds do you really think and you may help in this case it was a family man with no criminal background he has never stood trial anywhere in the world including russia and the united states moreover he has never even stepped foot on u.s. soil up until he was snatched up by u.s.

special agents in liberia last year and brought here just. trial now his family as well as russian officials were not informed as to his whereabouts effectively considering him missing russian officials cited a breach of diplomatic conduct a breach of international law because they did not know where this their citizen was and because the u.s. state department failed to julie inform them. of the tragic jet crash in yet us labile has overshadowed a major political event taking place in the city and change plans including those of president medvedev well speaking out the second and final day of the global policy for it touched upon the major challenges russia is facing rocky's and he said now is there for us almost certainly a lot of debate and discussion took place at this two day forum just by the tragedy nevertheless the president felt it was the right thing to do to begin his keynote speech with a moment of silence but you believe that you are citizens. as well as citizens of

several other countries with the give and unity of silence to honor their memory which you. i mean. the president went on to give his speech and it focused on multiculturalism of course that's the theme of this year's forum here and jaroslav all spoke a lot about the beliefs in society as made in compliance and how that can lead to problems in society and about how russia needs to take a steady approach towards modernization another thing that has come up very much so after is today for him is of course the situation in the mideast and north africa especially concerning libya and syria and in fact joining me now to speak more about that and who better to know about the situation there is the presidential envoy to africa and kilmer caleb thank you very much for joining us up the top teams that we hear often from doesn't even russia in general especially over the

past appears that you can see other countries how to kind of democracy that you have the idea that the president has made a few days before about a person's in reference to people that just because someone doesn't do something we think it's redundant we won't force it was referring to libya how do you when you're working for nato pound teaching countries to have to marcus these. will consider of the right you know for me personally it's not difficult to defend that thesis because there's only one bad thing about a democracy cannot impose through difficult to impose democracy it should be true within the society and very often these societies and the parts of the world which we're talking. a ball to have to some cold war denies themselves from medieval ages style structure and medieval ages style mentality so

i think that it's the really very difficult just to bring blueprints from any western or eastern capital to this part of the world and c k. this is the way you had to do it. just fine and i want to talk about syria when you think that it will turn into another libya i hope not help but that's why russia is working hard in order to build bridges between the government and the opposition in the month of september will be receiving again the delegation of the syrian opposition we shall be your city the representatives are with the syrian government so you have for the twelfth of september we are working hard in order to help syrians to predict a docking mechanism between two camps which are afraid to be against each other and despite it does not serve the national interests of syria thank you very much thoughts there in front me helmer kill of the presidential envoy to africa and of course over the two day forum pretty much the main theme when it comes to charity

what's happening there i've got to be of course will continue but a lot of work done here at the global policy forum in your stop. now in just a few days the united states will be marking its greatest tragedy and half a century its terrorist attacks on september eleventh two thousand and one but what followed was a decade of invasions torture scandals and untold abuses on both sides and as we begin our special coverage of the anniversary i was going to check out takes a look at whether the past decades made america any safer. maybe one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in history that ushered in a decade of anti terror campaigns across the globe. but is a merry current 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 and after best what terrorists.
