it's amazing you know i didn't play well physically one hundred percent so it's like you know. i can't be so angry at myself even though i'm very happy and you know i can play. one hundred times over do this whole turn of it. when asked where second seed patrick quit ever survived a second set fight back by four he wasn't going out of out of it should serve yes but the mobile didn't champion held on to win six two seven six and will at least emulate last year's run to the last eight stage. now under sowing and five far in the second so do. you have to do you have to do. my i was the game by far. wasn't easy for foreigners to play i. then you know it was ready to go to break and be focused on the area for an event i and i said under the chair and. six six five and my serve so it was you know that's a good bag but yeah. i did it. well waiting for chris back in

a lot of history. to be number one player. but that never gives me the question. why it was a grueling match finishing corey and your next play well rested on the memory the twice beating find his booking his place in the next round after kazakh mcculloch a couche can retire the two sets down four seed murray spent less than fifteen minutes on the sizzling hot rod laver arena and said he was over to walk over for him. there's nothing there's nothing happening on the court. you know would have been most to come off and been low but i don't believe it will you stop you know after doing nothing is certain but on the court. you know he wasn't running is making mistakes or first second ball the road. those a complete contrast. to the n.f.l. now where lawrence tynes kicked

a last minute field goal against san francisco to sense the new york giants into the super bowl where the meets the new intern patriots you edge that baltimore well first of the n.f.c. championship game candlestick park where the defense is dominated how i got in the final period eli manning produced his second touchdown pass connecting with marion manning from seventeen yards to put the giants ahead yet a late twenty five yard field goal by the forty nine ers david acas levelled the score at seventeen all said the game into overtime costs and era piracy that williams election season possession and they ran three times to six times up for his winning kick the giants will now look to emulate their two thousand and eight success and they deny the patriots a perfect season to lift the bin somebody trophy well meanwhile in the eye of see both was really kind of missed a field goal with just eleven seconds remaining as the new england patriots booked their super bowl place by edging the ravens twenty three twenty tom brady scored what proved to be the winning touchdown in the fourth quarter and this warning on

died in the patriots from behind but the ravens had the chance to force overtime come to his kicks to the left of the post so the patriots have the chance to avenge their two thousand and eight defeat as they get in first place the giants on february the fifth. meanwhile over in england substitute mario balotelli dramatically netted the injury time penalty to ensure manchester city remain three points clear at the top of the premier league after a thrilling three two win at home to title rivals top the city took a quick two goal lead early in the second half thanks to strikes from samir nasri and joleon lescott but all within nine minutes spurs were level three poacher jermain defoe and the dallas bale fundable volatility came on it was quickly books while avoiding a second gallow for an apparent spam from scott parker for stepping up to that with a new spot and launched united states three points behind after danny welbeck scored the like without the red devils one to want to ask don't tell me about n c i had opened the first half injury time for the prolific robin van persie leveled in

the seventy second minute planned a quick look at the table confirmed city's three point lead over united taught him stay third but now eight points off top spot and defeat for arsenal means they trail chelsea by five points in the battle for the final champions league spot. the basketball now and in the n.b.a. the struggling new jersey nets beat michael jordan's bobcats ninety seven eighty seven on home court to inflict a sixty eight defeat on charlotte don williams signed this long shot early in the first quarter with the nets thirteen eleven out on routes to finishing the game with nineteen point nine rebounds and ten assists and later in the second williams again stole the ball before giving it to kris humphries we finished with an easy dunk take the score to forty nine thirty eight however in the middle of the third gerald henderson cut the deficit to seven points after this expect ocular showed that it was not enough release turn provided again in the fourth set rookie marshawn groups didn't hesitate ninety seven to eighty seven again the final score

the nets winning only their fifth match out of seventeen so far this season. finally twice hockey and with just a dozen games to go in the k h l regular season latvian past an hour ago are gunning to reach their fourth straight playoffs and we lost their captain the most prolific latvian in n.h.l. history sunday as a lynch what needs to be done to achieve that goal and perhaps capture the coveted chocolate. that's my consistency consistency around game from mine from day to day and i think that will if we were able to turn that around and have that consistency till the end of the season no matter who we are playing teams the ball was a mess that exhort below us and have that mental toughness than not going on i think we'll have a good good run and buy up some. every team depends how much you

follow her something is there you can there's always room and only you have everything right when you have won the championship so that everything was good i mean there's but always said until you do that yourself honestly always something to improve and that's what we want to do as a team as it opens a should improve every year every season and get better. we know the other team strengths and weaknesses and that where where that is and and not so we try to see if you really see who was you know as managed with the what we can find out what their weaker spots are in the team what we can do and if it's a cesspool then we have a very good chance of winning games and i'm pretty sure the other team i know they look at as they they do a very close analysis of all game and our players and they're trying to do the same thing to us so afraid now we do respect a lot of i mean. there's every single team we have to respect them but afraid no we

don't want to be afraid for games are. different no question you see that for dynamo regular for a national team there that most of the tires some of they don't get tired at at all i mean they they they're there from the first minute till the last minute of the game no matter what the score is and they're with us in a tough times and good times and all that and and for sure we were very fortunate to play at home which some would such a big huge fan base now with the sport of the whole country. that's all the sports news this bulletin that we more in just under two hours please join me again.

syria. to solve the country's a crisis requiring president assad to step down calling it a flagrant interference in its internal affairs also. the e.u. formally adopted oil embargo against iran as part of the president and sanctions against the country but there are fears that these sanctions may backfire for the details in a few moments. croatia votes in favor of joining the debt stricken edu for the low turnout for the national referendum and violent protests to expose deep

divisions on the issue inside the country. plus ukraine makes a u. turn dropping plans to cut imports of russian gas we'll have more on that for you in business in twenty minutes. these are now just after five pm on monday here in moscow this is artsy life with me will research showing syria has rejected an arab league proposal to resolve the country's crisis the plan required of president assad to give up power and was slammed by damascus as interference in its internal affairs and to quote an attack on syria's sovereignty. for three ports from the syrian capital. really cool to president bashar al assad to step down and to hand power of his deputy they also called for the formation of

a national unity government and. early parliamentary and presidential elections now those calls have been vehemently rejected by the syrian government here flagrant interference with the internal affairs really the sense here from damascus is that the government here are working on their own reforms they want the arab league mission to focus on their job of course the problem is you've got plenty in the arab league like saudi arabia like. the head of that preaching democracy to syria when of course they themselves don't have the. right stance is once again that this should be seeking resolution with alice for an intervention now i've actually spoken to the national coordinator council which is the opposition within the country they welcomed the maids and again reiterated their felt that as long as there is no move towards foreign military intervention that they're very pleased

with the response from the arab league mission because you still got observers on the ground it's expected. that the mission is actually now going to continue possibly for another month and possibly. of their powers and their numbers as well of course what you. i don't want to see happen now is that the arab league mission which is really the only very remains you can keep are seeing dialogue in the country to now have blocks put in its way so the question really is how to make the mission the observer mission more effective because as we've been witnessing in the past couple of weeks really at the moment in the country what you want to be thing is the sightedness and not further division. for civilization that's for. gov to to homes the conflict has moved ever closer to the country's capital now many damascus suburbs are also embroiled in the conflicts between government forces and the armed opposition. well this is all

that's left of many of the houses now inside just absolutely gutted it's broken glass you've got bullet holes lining the walls you've got clothes stain around the house where people have left them behind fleeing very quickly you can really see here the devastating consequences that this conflict has hurt the picking up the pieces easy amongst the opposition themselves there are a worrying divisions and as the conflict become increasingly violent there are now areas of the country where it's unclear exactly he's in control what do the people here on the image i think the syrian army having control not all it's. not. a lot of numbers a number of simplicity of heart of who's in charge and so. quickly the issue of the coordination the diversion up with the stuff arab league observers look set to remain in the country for another month trying to build the basis for multi-party

elections even seen by the international community or that you are your stories to where you are indeed opposition you have to put in your mind that you have to work with the other side working with the other side these don't look. good with thousands killed bringing the different factions to the negotiating table is going to be a major task sara for. damascus syria. now the e.u. has imposed pressure sanctions against syrian official son private companies as part of the effort to punish the government for ongoing violence they would based political analyst or doctor or modern the shopping so the syrian opposition itself should share responsibility for recent bloodshed in the country and that ultimately it's time to engage in dialogue. the opposition or what the so-called syrian free army or the desert there is from the syrian army have been also using heavy gunfire

against civilians they have been using explosives apparently they have been using and the armored. rockets and you know some weapons that cannot usually be used in civilian areas and against civilians there is a president said also enjoys. popular support. one cannot deny this not even the institute in qatar denied this when they did the research last month and they found that fifty five percent of the city and population opposed to down for didn't move for the president. it's time for dialogue. has tried. some reform some democratic reforms there is a constitutional council now in syria trying to rewrite the constitution there will be elections in the coming months there are some of the forums i think that the opposition should face because it is of the interest of no one of no one's

interests that need to or steps in they will be destruction and they will be chaos as was the case in libya. while the libyan display there i go with the national transitional council in one of the most turbulent weekends in the country since the fall of moammar gadhafi coming your way in just a few minutes here on out to you we talked to the president of the arab lawyers association to get his thoughts on the future of libya amid the continued unrest. e.u. nations are formally adopted personated set of sanctions against iran which include a block wide bargo on iranian oil the move targets iran's nuclear program which the islamic republic insists is purely for peaceful purposes. to tales from brussels sensually a total oil embargo it will have immediate effect on new contracts but that existing contract will be allowed to run for another six months they've also agreed

on a ban on a gold and gold trade and other precious metals with the iranian central bank all of these of course aiming to financially and economically cripple iran over its controversial nuclear program with western leaders still insisting iran is trying to build nuclear weapons while terror ron denies this now the e.u. embargo follow strict new way u.s. sanctions that were passed into law by president obama in january so as far as the e.u. is concerned by july it will be a full and total implementation of these new sanctions this is unprecedented in terms of the scope and the desired a potential effect on iran but it is also one president in terms of its potential economic impact on the european union itself let's not forget the e.u. imports up to twenty percent of rain in all its second biggest buyer and one of the twenty seven the biggest buyers within that are elite spain and greece the very same countries that are now struggling to deal with that sovereign debt crisis greece in particular heavily dependent on the radio with up to one third of its

total imports from iran also it's relying on terror for easier credit terms so they will definitely have to find alternatives for these countries these are what their leaders will have to talk about how to cushion the potential economic impacts on the several member states and of course because of all the uncertainty oil markets have already reacted pushing oil prices up and higher oil prices will just mean higher prices of goods. live from moscow as a member should mention a few moments ago the e.u. has imposed against syrian officials on private companies all as part of the effort to punish the government for ongoing violence it's a get more on the growing international pressure on syria let's not talk to apollo to phone a head of the political think tank the city foundation thank you for coming on r t today the new e.u. sanctions against syria aimed at punishing the government just how fair do you think these measures are considering that syrian authorities insist they really are fighting against armed extremists.

sanctions is part of a scheme which is master in the by washington and the use just following for this. should be inserted in what is happening in the entire region especially with the stepping in of china in the gulf. recently you know that there was the visit of the chinese president so everything is changing in terms of geopolitical agreements and this sanctions signal that assad has to go probably with the consent of china i wonder if there is also a kind of concern from russia to the way ahead this is something that probably will be similar to what has happened in yemen so both china and i believe russia would like to see an orderly ousting of the current government moving towards a more legitimate type of national union government the sanctions are a way to pressure the group to move out and to negotiate.

this is it now is interesting you bring in the issue of yemen here of course we discussed the past two thousand and eleven the arab spring some already drawing comparisons to libya as the e.u. insists that the syrian crisis should be stopped with a u.n. security council intervention russia says that nato is apparently considering a no fly zone over syria do you think a foreign military intervention is possibly on the cards. it is not excluded but once again i do not believe that this may happen on the sort of libya style intervention there are not the conditions and the longer for that so most probably dismay happen but there should be a negotiated settlement with the major powers in the area and as i mentioned russia and china in that area plus turkey plus the gulf cooperation council

so. everything is on the table we have to see how the negotiations will develop in the coming hours of days now if there is a deep sectarian division in syria for the meantime if the current regime does go as you say as you are saying a lot of politics are getting involved here from various parts of the world if the current regime does go with that result do you think the desired stability for the country. if you tease in a disorderly way for sure it will be a major blast for the population living in syria but it will become also a serious freights to the neighbors so it is not the interest of anybody to have. a disorder of the current government. negotiations are on the way on the other hand remember last time i spoke about this the arab league mission was meant to create the conditions for negotiations and this has happened that the arab league has now

finally joined the western led chorus calling for president assad to remove all to stop the bloodshed why do you think it's taken so long why is the league finally now come out against the regime. because the. political environment has changed as i mentioned the visit of the chinese president in saudi arabia and qatar have. changed the balance of power in the region so there is a shift the declaration that wen jiabao himself made about syria were quite clear he said that there should be new government that includes also the opposition he was against the possibility of a foreign intervention into the current government and. the change of the arab league reflects just the new mood of saudi arabia. had a political thing tank of

a city foundation i'm sorry that's all the time we have for here on r.t. thank you for joining us. and still to come your way later in the program the twists and turns of russian politics the electoral campaign intensifies the presidential hopeful of latimeria putin proposes that he wants to get tough on immigration. and e.u. and treat ticket has been approved by the people of croatia the us was not expected to be quite so solid there with more than a half of croats simply ignoring the national referendum the country will become the union's twenty eighth state by july next year but only after all the other members ratify the move croatia was split on the issue with those in opposition saying there's nothing to gain from a bloc currently experiencing its worst ever crisis and is on his tongue back in reports the divisions are here to stay even after the yes hard.

violent scenes in the croatian capital it's the country's b u referendum that setting. this to be made to find me the police going to the protest as a way they take and protest his way suasion in many seats in the creation capital and fighting has been going on well now. these anti protesters say the government is trying to suppress the dissenting voices they are joining with surrender croatia's independence to brussels. in another street nearby the foreign minister is trying to convince people that accession is vital to the current economy they actually. stability the scale can lead it into the credit rating of creation. that is translated into membership of

the. creationist budget would be in serious trouble everywhere you turn in croatia the e.u. is being discussed but whereas most of the political class no longer the question of the europhiles stands public views differ widely in italian as we come into or see the catch all or for. and that's our biggest trouble here but if you look after you though you told us you have to pay the e.u. has regulations those that don't want to obey must stop trading here in memphis you know we have two sons hire an employee and maybe because of that i would be prior to being read to most of the symbols were you know the worries about sovereignty local industry and economic well being a former student and there are still some voices in parliament that think the benefits of what joining it were the costs that we were not going with our heads high up we're going on our knees because our economy our non-existing our

exporting is pretty bad our b.b.b. is very low so we don't really have anything to offer you back out on the streets the argument quality will not continue with ferocity with such strong emotions it seems unlikely this referendum resolves the nation's division over european membership tom bottom part. is coming here live from moscow but russia's presidential elections just around the corner candidates are ramping up their campaigns prime minister and a presidential hopeful vladimir putin is proposing stricter immigration rules and his second major newspaper article in the run up to the vote he's proud of all of our reports but talking on multiculturalism a migration vladimir putin praised what he sees as russia's long history as a multicultural.
