veneman game seven so i just need an established they want to train a bit recently in spain from insiders only last once the powerhouse england side in their last four outings. which of important reporting the local hurt and to some russian champions really are just about to kick off again shamrock rovers in dublin in their group they are in the europa league well on paper again are the clear favorites they've taken part in the group stages of the last two champions league competitions but are themselves aware upsets after beating barcelona in the account two seasons ago and manager given by the believes it will be a tricky in the irish capital. knew that. there is no difference between games in europa league or the champions league for us these games are the most important that we play the games in european competition. and about twenty four games taking place in the europa league this thursday evening in the court of moscow represent the upper russian interests as they start their

campaign in austria. for me to wander out of italy but rob braves his run i team have put their technical problems behind them with such races left in the season the russian came third in the first grand prey of the year in australia but since then has only had six top ten finishes from thirteen races however in an exclusive interview with ati he says run out and are back on track. like everyone know in the beginning of the season with so little a good start to this elliptical look we don't see linda in our colors it looks like a storm so we can fight live. in atlanta but then suddenly we're there were some problems because we did a construction our wind tunnel and we're supposed to take weeks and another team is good growing up weekend we were still in town this is and this is where we lost our i think if we're in the sun we'll see our championship. you know was sort of

fighting with them and so this we try to deliver on this time until we've seen sometimes if you lose one day it's you know close to something but now actually it would bring to someone who knew i had a pocket lisa and would be quite willing pull it finally well if i pull out of the book then the seven live actually. each year stuff that there is one guy just for us but they knew a whole team was loosely you know slowly because finally we couldn't make it in the top ten and we can you know if i think it took seven or six seven to eight position so it all to stay positive and now it's next to listen to please also notice it. then finally the north and south are world championships a finish here in australia with several medals going the way of russia's men maul russians will be my less successful but that qualify for next year's olympics and so my calls are every ports. but world championships in modern pentathlon is

divided into two parts and pick and none of them big events been to joe olympic disciplines for men and women so russia's men claiming gold and silver which resulted in an overall team gold medal as well while the women had much less to celebrate and settle for a team bronze with individual discipline also winning and then the big place in the process with three zero zero zero zero men showed great results which is a good ratio of anyone else for the women you vickie agreed it was posed in the english as well as with a teammate. who unfortunately failing shoe jumping in the. overall results for i think should be pleased because. monday tuesday and wednesday were allocated to take disciplines in the men's women's and mixed relay events the latter brought russia and other silver medal with. and

sygate got the acting within the honors for their country the women's relay was a failure for russia as the local trio finished in ninth place while team hungry one goal in the men's relay the un garion scrupled once again that they're one of the world's strongest teams in modern pentathlon by claiming first place on the podium bill the russians can if they dance off the bold unit could have turned out differently as they were in the lead until the showjumping piece led by the two time olympic champion and the twenty eleven world championship winner and they save the home team struggled with their horses and as a result they dropped from first to seventh place going into the final combine discipline which involves running and shooting and near perfect performance and the range bump to russia up from seven to fifty in the final standings while hungary south korea and ukraine won gold silver and bronze respectively first i think we could have given a better performance here if it weren't for the remains we feel in show jumping and scott's preventing us from fighting for her. i replace him standing if he starts at

the last appearance from a different position and he will results would have been different to sell the whole world championship in more than south one third that's a good deal of success for russia as a male athlete while the russian women still have quite a lot of work to do on their skills after all this summer olympics in london on less than a year away for a month off for forty in moscow. so. in indonesia all she's available in the ground shirts a media hotel the ritz carlton hotel a little hotel to chill new millennium hotel in china you can seal a t. in sensor tell the cop ropes hotel mcconnell grand lido hotel mcconnell seventy shamar call resort hotel who saw the snow to yonkers new mccallum local time with

when the. british and french leaders visit the libyan capital in a show of support for the new authorities all three people in tripoli still backing colonel gadhafi fear their devotion might cost them their lives. also russia says it's time to let the u.n. impose a no fly zone over libya introduced to save civilians as it doesn't help those trapped in the last remaining good that the strong holds. a blow for the billionaire who turned to politics russia's third richest man sensationally quits as leader of a party he's headed for just three months. plus a piece of the long gone soviet union preserved norwegian learned about his close

up travels to a russian town on the spitsbergen occupant of. international news in comment live from our headquarters here in central moscow this is r.t. just past nine pm here and seven pm in tripoli where british prime minister david cameron has promised more financial aid to libya's new rulers he's there with french president nicolas sarkozy in support of the regime there war planes put in power what is more if an ocean in tripoli is across the latest developments for us . french president carter causey and rich prime minister david cameron he leave here first of all to show their support for the country's new authorities for the national transitional council both political and financial since this week that comes just days before leaders older the grace will be resumed and also you

military support not surprisingly that these two leaders have become the first to visit khadafi freely via these two countries france and britain have played a crucial role in the currently been revolution because of course he has said that nature will continue to fall mainly beer and military facilities. here in leave it to the rebels take control over the whole the country fighting still continues over at least for gadhafi stronghold including. the colonel's hometown save some six hundred kilometers east of the capital tripoli and bani walid today in the south of cheaply meanwhile russia's foreign ministry has announced today that they will call for a no fly zone to be lifted says things it's no longer i am tired of protecting civilians just ahead of these two leaders visit here to tripoli the head of the national regional council mr father to lou has pledged that both sikorsky and

cameron will be safe he's mentioned that because security situation in the country here in the capital tripoli remains a very tough very difficult very complicated and still while there still remain several pockets all over the leaves here where still held by khadafi forces even in the capital it's not equally held by by the rebels and not all the districts here in libya supporting the new or for she's here's my report about that . and months after tripoli fell into rebels' hands those who backed the old regime remain defiant but feel full. in parts of the city the rebels' triumphant campaign feels like it's never happened or did so somewhere else. that we will do anything from our only momar even if we have to give all nice. seven support for the ousted leader dissolves once they see our camera yeah. like what

we're coming out with it tell the camera why. it's the same situation with others two. hundred percent good we don't want this revolution we don't know the rebels we want them to go away. we are from television. to tell the camera no no basic right front of the camera they will send the bullet to my own all the criminals you don't know them you call them the rebels hey guys do you remember the black guy he was arrested a few days ago after here appearing on t.v. don't do that you flags new slogans new speeches. the rebels were out celebrating again this week when the head of the national transitional council libya's new authority arise in the capital before large crowds even libyans in no doubt about who's ruling out. those who don't support mr fogg

and who we used to see all across the city proudly waving green flags just weeks ago back in khadafi now trying not to leave their own backyards here they are there. the old i. share. with. you very. tough it is effectively a gun then you also have several down here in the capital tripoli people are chanting that is free country but it seems that there is at least one thing that still remains of all of libya here. one youngster finally agrees to talk. tripoli is now on the control of the national transitional council and we don't feel we have freedom to talk or to express an opinion. in favor of gadhafi who can

kill us and the rest of us of course somalia and. the nineteen year old says many of his friends have been arrested recently for making critical statements about a new regime ironically we're talking just a kilometer away from one of his top secret jails for political prisoners known as abu sleen. the rebels they only represent themselves not the libyan people this revolution started with the killings to intimidate through fear of their harley's are covered in blogs and list international has recently accused both gadhafi regime and the one which replaced it of committing war crimes including killings and torture of military prisoners and civilians these are being felt by some here but more is in store reflection r t tripoli abia. and john laughlin from the institute for democracy in cooperation in paris says the cameron sarkozy visit to libya underlines the real goal of the nato

strategy. i don't think anybody seriously bought the line that this intervention was about protecting civilians that was merely the fig leaf the legal feed leaf that france britain and america used to overthrow gadhafi the west by overthrowing gadhafi wanted to maintain the fiction that the entire world is moving towards a western dominated model a pro western model it wanted to show that the arab spring movement was a movement for liberal western style democracy and of course as soon as a country is stated as a as a regime state stood in the way of that apparent wave which was the case of libya it's regime was brushed aside that has now been achieved and that's why david cameron and nicolas sarkozy have come here today to demonstrate that fact and it's to publicize the show to the world their victory at least in their own terms. and their and i.p.o. me as you could the editor of the pan-african newswire says the western leaders

visited the country in attempt to reap the financial rewards of helping put the rebels in. the national transition council would have never been able to get outside of the if it had not been for the support of the united states as well as the nato forces they have supplied these rebels with arms with diplomatic cover and then of course there was the so-called no fly zone over libya which is really good a massive bombing operation against that country of six million people it's a very very tense situation that exists right now all over the country so i believe that the visit on the part of course c. of france and david cameron of britain this is an attempt to shore up this. takeover of the most are all rich and the most prosperous country only after the.

and i spoke to russia's envoy to the u.n. he says the libyan experience is helping determine moscow's position on syria and you can see the full interview next hour but here's a brief preview for you. if you want to protect civilians the last thing you do is start a civil war and this is what happened let's face it our concern is that any sanctions resolution. on syria in the security council might be seen by destructive elements of syrian opposition as sort of encouragement looking at libya something similar to what happened in libya maybe happening in syria. that really destructive consequences western colics swearing to us this is not there and done something or use military force well incidentally we have to remind them that we heard statements and assurances from them of various sorts when we're working on that resolution in libya which they will very quickly forgotten in the heat of the

battle. and you can see that interview in full and later here in r.t. russia's political season may have only just got underway but the first scandal has already arrived the party run by russia's third richest man has collapsed less than three months after he became its leader but i think katrina cho has the details for us from moscow. the impishness plan of the right course body which was to gain some fifteen percent of the vote clashed over some far more modest police calls for a cause and realities now the proper of as love to the party will hardly make it into do much but we all have to understand that progress has very good p.r. in himself in dealing with john lewis and this is what we witnessed today we all remember that he is not afraid to be are we remember how he made it to they had lines international headlines in two thousand and seven when he was arrested by

french police in course chevelle all suspicion that he arranged prostitutes for russia's oligarchs there and we remember what it adds up like added up like that the french authorities officially apologized before him during an official visit in two thousand and nine and as proper of himself said today i am a maid kwan microsite backwards he said but that i will make a long jump forward just wait and see for a very bold step for a person was only making first steps on a political arena but what we're seeing is actually calling on clashes in the ranks of a political force and sadly this has become somewhat of a butt tradition with russia's right wing forces and now that. leaves the ranks of the party's no longer its leader it's not clear what part of the electorate the right cause will be you rate at all and secondly it's interesting what will happen with all the money which. was it invested into these projects that we are talking

about some thirty million dollars. today that he'll be doing all he has to pull the money out of the party now that he's left and he'll be forming a new political force well we'll wait and see what will be the future of yet another movement all these billionaire turned politician. well we've got more on this and all the other stories we're covering here on screen available for you on our website at all don't call them available all the time and the. if you log on you can find out about the officials who have ruled out an engaged handbrake as the cause of last week's plane crash that nearly killed all of the top russian ice hockey team and you can read the story of many theories that are being put forward and dismissed by the experts. parts of swallow adullam and worth thousands of dollars as found in the stomach of a man suspected of theft of a spanish restaurant you can find out more on that story at altie dot com. please.

leaders of france and germany have announced their belief that greece's future lies with the euro and international patience is running out fast as china calls on the eurozone leaders to put their own house in order the second bailout for athens hangs in the balance this prostration also grows among its e.u. neighbors over missed deadlines for the reforms threatening to stop paying enough to the economy economists are also pessimistic and there are mounting calls for athens to drop out of the euro zone and according to analysts the coffin us greece is future is far from secure and that could bring grave consequences for the global financial system. we're hearing a lot more rumors about a default which is frightening but i think the most likely scenario is that. again came down the road france and marco have been saying germany and angela angela

merkel i was talking about how they want to wait until at least twenty thirteen when the european stability. mechanism is in place so they have some sort of institutional framework to go with with a bailout so i think that eventually greece will default but i think that it's likely to happen on october seventeenth they're not addressing they're not creating a scenario where greece or greeks can say ok in five years and seven years whatever we have a viable plan to exit this this large that burden and go back into growth because right now the greek economy is in a collapse mode so there's no way they can service this that a lot of the american banks one of the other side of these derivative deals so they were ensuring that there was on the books the books of european banks so that in the event of a default the european bank would yeah they would they would lose out on their bonds but then they would go to the american back and say give us the money because you wrote the insurance so the u.s. back should be on the hook because they were it's an empire that has the imperial currency. and as the world struggles to avoid that dreaded double dip recession max

envoy to the united nations has said the final decision will be made in the next few days over a bid for full u.n. membership that backtracked on an earlier statement by the foreign minister in ramallah who said a formal bid for full statehood would be submitted next friday under u.n. rules such an application must first be approved by the security council washington said last week that it will use its veto to block it another option for the palestinians is to opt for u.n. observer status which would go straight to the general assembly where there is no power of veto. or force but the number of dead after a suicide bombing at a funeral in northwest pakistan at thirty one for the fifty injured because the attack took place during burial prayers for a tribal leader who formed a local militia to oppose islamist militants in the area but no idea the region is close to the afghan border which has seen escalating violence between militants and security forces. dramatic pictures of a far on board

a cruise ship off the western coast of norway at least two of its crew members have been killed and nine people were injured over two hundred passengers had to evacuate the ship after the blaze broke out in the engine room police suspect an explosion may have triggered the incident. but now it sometimes seems that you have to leave russia if you really want to get to know it better and this week a special series of our russia close up reports come from outside the country from norway's spitzbergen archipelago russians developed a coal mining community there during the soviet period and as barco reports twenty years after the u.s.s.r. ceased to exist many there are still living an old soviet dream. a cluster of violence between the devil and the deeply sea could be used to sarve the spitzbergen archipelago was a lot like puerto rico for the us not entirely its own not food for in a form pulls between north america and western europe and as many hold

a future base for the russian advance in the arctic. just a few words about this monument to their lives and of course i was full of. the most western tourists this morning meant is a testament to the failed sylvia conditions the town of barons work once a flourishing mining community is in is so as they. get behind this appealing facade one can also see a freshly painted the writing on the wall the russians on a living in fact their back. it's a russian birthright to be. the second summer in a row that we cough a span being on cheers bergen decorating his kindergarten if the fiction of russia as an arc is not to project an image of an unshakable state emerging from dire straits of history in a time that still experiences difficulties with running water and electricity this

choice of priorities would have been questionable if it wasn't geo politically timely it was. a time when the soviet union was feared and respected you can't turn back time that russia should also position itself as a strong state people who visit there and should feel like they've stooped russian soil. technically that's already the case russian settlements and gergen have greener grass because of the several loads of black soil that was brought here from siberia in soviet times legally treat belongs to norway and nine hundred twenty agreement guarantees its signature is the right to conduct industrial activity on the archipelago an option for you to. only by moscow that for decades has been mining coal here. culprit here has always been afraid expansive but that can solve it time it was not an issue of economics but rather of politics plus the needed to maintain in smiling base here it is bergen at any cost but now production volumes

have been billed just a fraction of what they used to be but one thinning russian presence here is still considered a matter of strategic importance of. math and die hard the minds of quitman hasn't changed much in the last fifty years while the ethnic composition of the workforce could make the get a feel solvent nostalgia about this image of i'm twenty seven years old so i don't have clear memories of the soviet union but i do salute spirit is very well preserved here we have people here from you cream go through central asia and we all feel like citizens of one country ironically we asked you to with their minds profitability is not so inherently soviet it's been a loss making them cheer for decades here increasing its efficiency is politically inconvenient. because coal mining is what allows russia to the president's speech program a profitable we need to mine three times much calls we do now but since the posits

are finite we have to go slow. meanwhile russia has notably increased funding of scientific expedition spitzbergen and in africa to explore the archipelagos natural reaches. you capable tomei is a geologist who first arrived in barron's work in the early eighty's because of the soviet union making tree geology for business but the recent afternoon state funding allowed him to come back as being the. key to all the arctic geographically it's a place where the global weather is before july crown for science and money. and other minerals it's a place we simply can't afford to lose. and he's country seems to agree it's not going to artsy barings work peter bergen archipelago. brings us for nearly twenty two minutes past the hour here in moscow the business news with marina is next after a short break stay.
