rising these were sharp and ships at such short notice but i'm sure that the president i mean off i know personally and his team will do their utmost to make these championships a thriving success. to go through our younger up and coming golfers could have a chance to perform on the european tour as the russia challenge cup comes to the moscow region next week this will be the seconds on the clock is being held but this year the overall prize money has been increased to two hundred fifty thousand euros making it the third largest amount of the tournament this competition is the stage of the european professional challenge tour which is a tear to go for bend it allows the twenty top this to qualify for the main you pay into the following year if you talents the chance to shine as a higher level. it may play a crucial role for some young player to make the top twenty and that's what everyone is trying to make her not just make more money in prize money but to make the top twenty in the final rating which gives you an automatic card on the

european tour for the next year so that's pretty much what everyone will be fighting for for those coveted top trying to place it. now the rugby world cup finally gets underway on friday with new zealand taking on tonga the pressure is on the all blacks you haven't won this one of it since one thousand nine hundred seven just like regularly being ranked as the world's best site which of course it was full of news even caps in shaun fitzpatrick he says this side is capable of winning the sport's biggest crown for the first time in twenty four years and we're very excited it's been three four years since we've non with we've won the right price a world cup and using a cup like it was not yet a civil lost on the head of the. chinese to new zealand something. as a nation. of four million people talk about a stadium of four million people and they're looking forward to welcoming the rugby world and you think a possible capsulize about. world cups the world cup set up in chile that i think

gracious. the nice things that have really taken on board what the rugby world cup has got the heart of the museum. i love the rugby i'm sure the. right is a large part of what we can offer as a national party it's been twenty four years of hurt so far i've you know twenty eight years of how i said probably you know we spoke in couple of months earlier i think there is even one nailed on labor it's two defeats south africa small second story at least what you can print is a slow speed of boring going on. what never saw me say it's a twenty four years since we last month the world cup is a little like you know that we need to get rid of. new zealand as a table done very well the last three three years preparing for this world cup for the last couple of games with the book but in doing that hopefully it's it's you know the prize to buy them realise that you know it's not going to be as easy as

some people think it is but a reality check for us to those fans and media. you know will cups you know a very very difficult job and then for new zealand they're going to. every guy i'm like it's like the world cup on t.v. this could be a blessing in disguise or just just look at expectations than a little because i'm in new zealand a few months ago i was on the ground you know i think in terms of the why that new zealand struggle such a decent start to try and i should say never answer that's that will happen again and it's really kind of them really to the games were to the all blacks in a dish have compared to some of the bright demos and if you don't like the breakdown. more often than not the same the dog mice right down to the guy in them and i show them the pocket of my sammy gun with three four weeks earlier richie mccaw report of what. the brightest racial and this rubbish i try the world is how i did against australia you know my clearly that's anything's possible if you reply

well we can solve it if you're already in use even so if you're well you know i think of something else and that's just what the things that interest is a concern and we saw that with the withdrawing kind i'm not buying adam thompson having to buy not helping one hundred percent upset the balance of the team and that's why what combinations aside bottle injuries is a concern for the grampian right i care a great thing and just a lie because it's a problem but he backs so hype about quarter final time and what i'm doing that because somebody else in the chain to him for the base i took his opportunity really well against a struggle last week hopefully we've got to cover the eyes. and dress. rehearsals was nice this bonus and i stay with r.c. for further news on the arsenal plane crash and the commemoration taking place in the validation capital.

a better. hello this is r t it's now and i'm here thursday the eighth of september my name's kevin now it's very good of you with us tonight and we start with what spain called ice hockey is darkest day and the worst disaster affecting sport in russia's recent history let's take a look at an event going on at the moment these are the latest pictures we got through here at the r.t.e. news center from the very stadium in minsk where the locomotive team should have of course been playing tonight but what we're seeing here is a very different event that people have gathered for instead of a game it's a commemoration ceremony now for the forty three who perished when their plane crashed on takeoff one player and a crew member have survived are in critical condition tonight. and also families

here gathering to remember the three time russian ice hockey champions you know moments would have been locomotives opponents they've been the symbolically scoring their own goals as a mark of respect during this ceremony the international team had star sportsman from different countries including ukraine's vikki in the czech republic very touching scenes we watching of the last half hour or so from minsk with the stadium crowded with people holding banners bearing the names of those who perished well arty's thomas managed to speak to the sole player and didn't board that fateful flight. the famous bells of jaroslav ring out for a community grieving a chilling reminder of the tragedy of the country at the lives of some of the

city's brightest stars. i knew many of the boys were personally what can i say they were since i can say this about many of them they were joyful people they loved life and they wanted to live with they brought so much joy into our lives. thursday march and the start of a three day mourning fans of the os level locomotive gathered at one of the city's central to. my shame i can't describe how i feel it's a very serious loss to me the only thing worse than that would be to lose my family we were like family to me. but as a support group of thousands work through their grief together one man maxime's is dark and is going through his own personal nightmare he was the only member of the team not on board the fateful flight his coach told him to take the rest and for the next game in moscow at least but then the government this is very terrifying for me a hockey team is like a family i lost

a family of forty people people i was close to for such a long time. and now maxine is supportive of rebuilding the locomotive franchise but it's torn by survivor's guilt that i haven't met their families yet i can't imagine how that will break this is horrible for me i wasn't thinking about whether i was lucky or not that i wasn't on that plane. and now he must rely on his community sharing in the grief process so that the healing can begin and as a steady stream of mourners continue to come to this central church in your saddle to show their support it is clear that this is not just about an accident or a plane crash but it's about the loss of a teammate something very important to a community that they will remember forever in your star will shine timeless r.t. . wednesday's plane crash happened on the first day of the new season of the kontinental hockey league many of those who perished played for their countries

were real stars of the game our sports correspondent kate partridge says rebuilding the team is one of the main priorities now ok it's easy to say that but you know where would you start. well there are there is there's been several lot there's several issues that have been raised through this first of all we effectively lost the last two teams but. there's been precedent set by other teams where volunteers have come through because it was mentioned before and earlier about the football team where volunteers from the league came through to replace those players and trainers stopped in time before and this seems to be what the situation is happening now president alexander has said that he's been inundated with offers from players and from trainers to come through and offer their services to help rebuild saying just looking at the names of some of those who perished here one of those who died was a local hero ruslan celebrity a captain of the brother russian national. also

a sort of. shock he was also born in russia was a real as you say was an international to. coach himself coming from kind of a record i mean there were nine or ten different nationalities i mean that was basically as we are in minsk that's where we concentrated initially as we can see the belarusian going back to the british yes there is such it's so so much more tragic any plane crash is tragic but these chaps are also you absolutely i mean looking at the taking at the ages of some of these players because they sort of get a start he's by the russian he was just twenty one he's just starting out on his career not spelling rulings twenty three i mean he has been in the junior ice hockey world championships you've got in terms of russia he had. been he was a junior world champion as well so getting another twenty one year old made his debut last year against moscow. also to twenty year old sometimes as well i mean among the thirty seven players and coaches that died. for m.h.l.

post materially since the last. the money that's being raised to. this event is going to be donated we think of those. to the club and i guess to help their friends and family. or for difficult times but a big turn the night but what a turnaround of events twenty four hours makes this much tonight if it had gone ahead things totally different had gone ahead what sort of march would have been how important was it what is the i mean match of the season i mean looking back on the pre-season look at how they they were they won seven out of the nine games and they were they were flourishing they've always been one of the powerhouses a russian i saw i mean as we said before three time champions and then when the k.h. i was coming into its fourth term they were there was some of finalists they were the finest they were always there in there abouts it's it's the only the there are so many parallels one can draw and i mean with the sidetrack that's all disaster

that we've talked about before where you have a whole team is why it's our. city so devastated i mean as i said before manchester united when that happened with munich disaster this effects absolutely everybody with such a large loss and it really has. people to be affiliated with with tuning into the station it's quite difficult to explain how important hockey if you aren't a complete dyed in the wall sports for hockey really really has touched so many people in this country is an absolutely i mean we are looking at some of the different creations are coming through in this thing two different coaches speaking from all around the world and if different hockey unions i mean also in slovakia particularly some of these players it's a very small community they've been describing as a family so even though it's a global family it's none the less a family some of these some of the now the great in iraq in the organizations in ice hockey used to play yaroslav on there and they've been saying how the town must

be desolate because. they are a hockey city they're a smaller city and hockey is their identity and you are hearing people who lived through so you know these people were our neighbors. into school with them they knew even though they may not have been died in the war hockey fans as i keep saying they knew each of these team members' names with their family. we were talking about you know where do you go from here and it's very early days we're talking about this all of these chaps laid to rest this are being identified tonight. but you know where there's a team like this where there's a city like this like begin to pick itself up try to dust itself maybe form a new team. new team that is definitely the priority it's a priority of the all the hockey legends that we have here are actually in aristotle and also now in the teens and they are very much pushing the idea that

they must go on if it's part of your identity and really hearing from the fans that's very much they want what we also heard from the president of the kontinental hockey league alexander this is what he had to say. the ice hockey family mourns the loss of one of the best teams it was a multinational to be 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 build and you lock in the teeth the dozens of calls a true thirty five calls for the players we sure do to walk away from what you give it will be silly if you're a bird you heard porch. there nobody over there was a decided way the sale of circles as a manager of the clubs given the cause of the areas that really gave the best players for. the history of yugoslavia forty two world wars stopped. on us we're hearing them from us on an event i've had to take

a shell and he there were there wasn't even any need to ask people to volunteer for the rebuilding of the club effectively as i said before they'd been inundated with offers from people from players and coaches to come forward and help in rebuilding ok ok thanks for covering it gives people the straight to from the start which projected. on what people are going to measure the last moments of the players on board the plane. i love you they were the final words of one of the players they had to say it was wife and baby son just minutes before the crash. well among the dead the youngest player of the team who despite being both injured and disqualified had wanted nothing more than to be with his sporting brothers a decision but of course so sadly cost him his life we got more human stories on the timeline of the tragic event on our home page r.t.e. dot com. for me to read read of his visit to the crash site and laid flowers in tribute to the victims of the plane disaster and jaroslav all at the site the

russian president said the number of airlines must be fanatically reduced he also ordered the transport ministry to pay special attention to pilot trading in russian civil aviation sector saying those not up to the job must be sacked very valid the entire industry must undergo serious changes russian president altered his plans for the international policy former yugoslav all to visit the site of the crash but later did arrive to address the global gathering i corresponded to listen now is there for us will bring a small of what's being said a bit later in the program. 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 kelly was behind a report showing britain knew there were no weapons of mass destruction in iraq before joining the invasion as article or element found 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 such questions under oath about kelly's death and all medical and scientific reports relating to it were secretly classified something which has never been neatly explains but it hasn't gone away this week talk to david how cain 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 how pain and a group of other doctors are distinctly underwhelmed by the evidence.

prof. did not. believe they would. become pain has popular support readers of the daily mail newspaper have to natured 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 coverup. president barack obama is to speak before the u.s. congress to tackle the ongoing job crisis gripping america follows reports that no due jobs have been created in the country during august that's worrying news for a nation with twenty four million classes employed as unemployed or underemployed classed as an employed or underemployed i should say they discussed what

a barber might have of his sleeve we're joined live from washington. press secretary at the progressive change campaign committee feel very good evening to you thanks pete on the program note given the latest data for august there's a certain urgency is never mentioned in the situation with jobs because understatement is a bar in the position to deliver or is it just all going to be talking about their well we we really hope he's in the position of the leader we've got a jobs emergency right now in this country you mentioned twenty four million folks unemployed or underemployed in this country but the president's got to do tonight is go big or go home i mean the reality is that we've got to have a massive direct government investment in job creation if we're going to get through this current jobs crisis here in this country but if you propose it would include provisions for single rich to pay their fair share on the ballot to draw the republicans of course they're dead opposed to tax hikes for the rich. you're right republicans are opposed to it but the good thing for the president and

progress is that the american people are behind it when you ask folks what they want this country to do they want massive investment in job creation and the way you can pave that is making sure the wealthiest pay their fair share currently the top four hundred. wealthiest americans earn more money than the bottom fifty percent of americans that's just wrong and not only is it wrong but with. increased taxation we can ensure that those twenty four million americans that are unemployed or underemployed right now are actually working and helping create the infrastructure we need this country but you know if the republicans continue digging their heels in has a ball going to get any of this through. well the way the brock obama's got to get this through the president's if republicans are going to listen he's got to take it to the american people the reality is is that you know more than deficit reduction americans want jobs and they want jobs now and what the president can do is if the republicans are going to listen take it home take have rallies in the home

districts of republicans who are obstructing a massive investment in government job creation and take a right to the american people the american people are we him and he just got to stand strong and go big tonight on a real solid investment in job creation of course none of this comes from the magic fairy does it is always a matter of cost three to four hundred billion dollars which is not going to come from in these difficult times. well the way we're going to pay for it is by ensuring that the richest americans are paying their fair share you know right now while republicans are fighting at every opportunity you know to ensure that some of these huge corporations don't have to pay their taxes the american people why won't the wealthiest one corporations that pay their fair share and that's how we're going to pay for what really needs to happen and it's best in infrastructure development making sure our crumbling schools are better and can provide for american children and at the same time create jobs that's really what we need to be

doing and that's what the president needs to be doing tonight what you know what about college education that's another big question most americans are graduating with tens of thousands of dollars in student debt no boast no chance of a job it's a grim picture they face how is he going to talk alone how they're going to pay the money but well i think one of the again it really gets back to job creation one of the proposals out there is a kind of a redo of this civilian conservation corps that would that help get the america out of the great depression back in the thirty's that's something that we could do right now a program that we could create that could put millions of young people back to work right now when you're forty fifty thousand dollars in debt and you don't got a job the last thing that we should be doing is is is complaining about about ways that we're going to pay for a program to put real people back to work we should watch obama's speech with great interest new press secretary at the progressive change thanks for being on the national thanks a lot. palestinians have started to stay to the head of the september twentieth

vote in the united nations the code a letter to the local u.n. mission in ramallah saying that peaceful demonstrations will continue until palestine becomes a member state pulled asli 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 letter to the un secretary chief banki moon it urged the international body to recognize tellus fenians in just a minute and 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 ninety three and to launch its one hundred palestinian high ranking officials and activists gathered today from his day at the u.n. headquarters in ramallah for a short ceremony now of both the israeli government as well as the obama

administration is against this declaration and the u.s. has into a formal request to the palestinian president mahmoud abbas asking him not to go ahead with it but a bus has rejected as we are hearing some rumblings behind the scenes that israelis and palestinians have been eatin informally and in secret to discuss the possibility of possibly because phoning 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 discontent within the israeli public particularly leveled at the netanyahu government these have been the largest protests in this country's history protesters clashed here in tel aviv with police a number of the wrists were held people accuse the police of treating them brutally and all of this is because the government has started removing tents from the streets of several cities 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 of the september the

twentieth it will no longer even listen to the concerns being addressed here within the israeli society. just a few days united states we're marking its greatest tragedy in half a century of course the terrorist attacks on september eleventh two from what. what followed was a decade of invasions torture scandals and untold abuses on both sides given to greece and grief and anger in the aftermath of nine eleven the invasion of afghanistan was an understandable decision says paul rodgers is professor of peace studies at the university of bradford in the united kingdom but a decade on he believes it's also become obvious that it was and still is a more effective solution pursuing through precision international legal means would not have had the effect that we've had reports war in the in the appalling atrocities looking september nearly three thousand people died since then for every person killed there eighty of the two hundred.
