a bang can down the line to level matters of two games apiece the minsk starlet maintaining her newfound momentum for the remainder of the set knowing that a world number one ranking was also on the line as their anchors back can bali for a five three the seemingly demoralising sure up over with the opening set eventually going against her six three but few expected the breakdown there was to follow in the second the rushing conceding breaks left and right in really having little rhythm to a game as azarenka continued the onslaught. the second said one sharapova would want to forget in a hurry as as a rank a wrap things up amazing six love. clearly not the outing that the soon to be world number three needed in a quest for a first major title. as hard as it is in the us as much as you want to be the champion. now there's only one that's why it's and why it's why the sailing

especially in doing that and that's why it's a work of so hard and extreme and. and that's why the pleasure that you get in the excitement this is what you work for because you know how special it is still plenty to celebrate for a new world number one azarenka an inaugural major title in the bag and the respect that goes with it the russian tennis fans also now get to celebrate the first grand slam singles champion in their country's history happy days the dance a gorski party. now a little later today it is the battle of the world's top rank plays in the men's final reigning champion novak djokovic up against rafael nadal the two thousand and nine win at melbourne park second round the dial holds the upper hand in head to head meetings with sixteen wins georgia has thirteen but the surge has won their last six encounters starting in a few minutes time the russian leader vesnina are paired up with in the end up highest in the mixed doubles final they face american bethanie matic sand and remaining part i take i well best not part of pius is going for

period with a replay looking like a safe bet but no one told the dutchman latching on to an andy carroll snow on the grass i would just stick a few to life in the book and faithful to one of the final school capping a fine week for the side as he walks the beat manchester city a couple of days before to reach the carling cup final. is a fantastic. players after work. to get through and we combine play again. in the morning because. of the commitment the desire to get results was fantastic and. we can't speak highly enough of a good up performance and result we have to do. and chelsea will be joining them in the next stage one match a sixty second minute penalty making all the difference against q.p.r. after daniel sturridge was adjudged to being felt in the area paes did not shake

hands at the start of the smash decision taken neither place defended john terry poole the trying to break for you please keep your eyes and some third and. i think it was a wise decision bearing in mind the expectancy that was aroused from the fact that . the couple of events could have or could happen in that. bearing that in mind if you will it was wise not to do it because you could have an influence on the programme straight after in this way you think everything was. going to be good jobs in other all premier league ties bolton came from behind to beat swanzy that he won west brom boss at home to nora so you want to say well new castle worthington by championship side brighton one nil i'm mike williams and i go putting them through also their last year's funniest dress after one year when i was not counted and like today arsenal and aston villa will play for a place in sunday's fifth grand draw while sunderland take on middlesbrough north

the seventy four kilogram division is probably the main reason for such a huge turnout as for the tournament itself i have to say that it continues to evolve and i'm happy to note that the organizers took my suggestions into consideration of the twenty's wealthy fun yet again grand prix saw their arrival of nine the limbic champions among nearly three hundred athletes from twenty countries . the main events of the opening day marked the return of the two thousand the limbic champion. now despite the support of his brother three time olympic champion believe us out of sight c.f. lost the seventy four killer final to a posse and denise sort of wish now it's safe to say the battle for in the olympic ticket in this weight category will unfold between the zero reading grand prix finalist that you want to hear them so i was we were briefed for stepping back on the mat following a three year struggle with injuries he's thirty two years old now and it's very

difficult to get to the summit at this age might he displayed will in character that he's still a force to be reckoned with in a blowout against the two time rules. while the men's events was dominated by russian nationals it was a different story on the women's side with competitors from japan making it all but one. final after claiming the top honors in two out of three finals on the opening day of the grand prix athletes from the land of the rising sun wrapped up the tournaments with another it's a gold and won a silver medal by the way while japan won silver in the forty eight kilo group the gold went to a live picture champion eery me a few crane who made a triumphant return to the sport after giving birth to her second child nevertheless it was evident that japan ruled the other weight classes and it became clear why japanese women's wrestling is considered to be among some of the best in

the world and the other three men's finals will be held on the last day of the tournaments here in cross they are ski sign for the heavyweights to sippin it promises to be quite intense and we will be here to cover it for him on cost of artsy eastern siberia and that is all the sport we've got time for for the moment we've got all that for you in a couple of. you

know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something

else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture. the latest news on the week's top stories the arab league on ice the syrian fact finding mission is frozen after violence escalates triggering pressure from the u.n. top dogs at the u.n. security council. and revolutionary aftershocks deadly clashes in the troop build ups and maybe a while in egypt hundreds of thousands staged fresh protests against their ruling military jondo. us police take a glove soft approach against occupy protesters and one firing tear gas blast warnings arresting dozens in the protests. and this week also saw online anger

spilling into the streets as internet users in poland fought against a new international anti-piracy remissness censorship and human rights abuses. and here in russia the internet has become a battlefield for pre-election campaigners with provocative viral videos and slogans used as weapons in the online battle for votes. it is not a. in the russian capital you're watching r t with me arena joshie welcome to the program and the arab league's monitoring mission in syria has been suspended due to a sharp rise in violence opposition activists suggest that over two hundred people have been killed in the past four days across the country syria's state heavey has reported that damascus regrets the league's decision saying it may result in more bloodshed and for military intervention that's as the u.n. security council is set to discuss a new resolution on syria calling for

a regime change and warning of further action if damascus fails to comply russia has opposed the document saying it can be used as a basis to solve the situation on top of this the e.u. impose more sanctions against syria this week to further pressure on the president that the decision to freeze the observer mission comes after gulf nations was drew their observers leaving people to prepare for the worst as artists are first now reports. saying they get by and heading home they've said it's from the gulf states leave the air quote then mission incomplete leaving behind a country in a deepening crisis is never going to be easy so you will want to stay. for the full story right from the word go the missions prove problematic the opposition accuse devoted to being too closely aligned with the government the government's no accused of being part of the foreign conspiracy and they will it

just to cool complains to the observer seeing to liquid on the ground there are concerns that there was simply too few numbers to undertake such a major task but if things were bad at the beginning now they seem even worse following in saudi arabia's footsteps all the gulf states withdrew their observers off to damascus rejected their recent proposal that included president has said seat to a deputy in full a unity government will. interesting that these countries is very interested in democracy and they have nothing and this is the most interesting this is something funny we will talk about. what will have a new constitution we are going to more democratic country multi-party system but what about to do. the west come out talk about syria which would be changed and leave saudi arabia as it is damascus is rejection was no surprise those sides of

the conflict of shame equal unwillingness to soften their stance even when the daily death toll in the country continually rising the killing of the head of the syrian arab red crescent was on the road to damascus yet another in mind the spiraling situation. of the observers at such a creature of a bid to the country's crisis is seen as clinching the arab league essentially has no credibility on the arab street what the arab league mission is trying to accomplish he's got enough evidence concrete everything some human rights abuses on the part of the also very seem to think so the u.n. and the evidence will be so strong that even russia and china would feel compelled to work but as of now one month after this mission started they seem to know the monitors things and i know more about what's going on the ground and they think. at the beginning and so it all looks like you know we're going back to square one as

the death toll rises the proposal being floated to increase the number of observers on the ground and provide them with u.n. training could be a life saving one but for now those plans have been pissed on hold in fact much of the substance of the report that they graded pieces on both sides seems to have been lost in the flurry of diplomatic activity now france and britain have joined forces at the united nations to try to end president assad's rule waving goodbye to that gulf state colleagues some of that. it's really but it's small consolation so you didn't close the doors in front of the oblique i think. it's diplomacy would give anyone to help but the last decision in the hands of the syrian people most of that has not or oblique the screws gone so it's a gloomy outlook for the country with little regional or international agreements a what action should be taken to stop the violence and putting an end to the crisis

seem to be slipping further and further as a very. artsy damascus syria a syria simmers so too does libya months after the fall of gadhafi we're now in ngo doctors without work is ending its mission for the year after being made to treat torture victims who are then stand straight back her per their interrogation. and global markets are bracing themselves to have a crunch vote in the iranian parliament as the world's fourth largest group producer threatens to hold world wise to your. u.s. police have used tear gas and flash grenades against some two thousand occupy campaigners in oakland california around one hundred people have been arrested the crowd was trying to seize one of the city's buildings to make it their new have quaters artist marina portnoy has more. it began around saturday afternoon when roughly two hundred fifty occupy occupy optimists in oakland california began

demonstrating in the streets and as hours passed the crowd grew stronger and stronger up to roughly twenty two thousand people strong ultimately what the goal was for this demonstration is for protesters to take over and abandoned building where they wanted to create their new headquarters because as our viewers may remember crossed the country in the united states just a few months ago police departments are removed activists from their camps and this was an attempt for oakland optimiser to set up a new headquarters but as the crowd grew stronger and larger and then chilly the police in oakland began firing tear gas and flash grenades at the occupy atlanta this morning to the police they say members of the crowd began throwing things at times at the officers and that is what ultimately triggered this clash between

police officers and occupy optimist but as you know this is not the first time we've seen a fierce clash between officers and activists in oakland california got in october in late october there was a least three hundred people arrested and a former u.s. marine by the name scott olsen was left in critical condition with a head injury from being star struck in the head by a police tear gas can canister and this is something odd that put a lot of criticism on the police department in oakland california they've been criticized for being very harsh with occupy out some have said it's just blatant police brutality get just want to correct what i said at least three hundred people have been arrested in oakland california. since late october not in october. r.t. has been following the occupy protest in the u.s.

since the very beginning so if you want to track the timeline of a man simply log on to our website r.t.e. dot com. and we've been at the epicenter of the movement capturing shocking footage of demonstrations that gulf to us so you can catch all our coverage online also. more of them all millionaires pay lower tax rates than millions of middle class households. obama makes his pre-election pitch to americans in the annual state of the union address stressing jobs inequality in a bid to appease growing into corporate sentiment and that shortly here on our team . now this week anger over the panning ratification of act a new international line anti-piracy agreement spilled out into the streets of poland internet users say the new law along with similar bills now suspended in the u.s. as a form of censorship and violates human rights here she asked for all the outrage. at first thousands across poland directed their anger squarely at the notorious

anti counterfeit trade agreement the idea of funding. for publishing the. marked material. is somehow illogical to me it's like punishing the corporation that produces knifes for. being used to kill somebody that will be used to monitor our internet activity i believe that talking through the internet email chatting forums form of self-expression but with every passing rally the protest grew more political the crowds put prime minister government under fire for signing the agreement on thursday most governmental websites were hijacked by the anonymous hacker group i think they are trying to maximize us with . the promise is that there would be a sudden clause attached to the documents. that we have rights. to. the rights

for our own interpretation of the can but that's not possible knows a lot from our government technically active should be a good thing protecting intellectual property ranging from music to design your bags but the global online community fears corporations will use it to police the web and take regular users offline for harmless internet behavior it even includes a criminal charge for posting certain links when you have a copyright industry that's talking about extraditing a person who has done nothing but linking to t.v. shows extradition that something useful murder and genocide does this is such an abuse of power. think its time is more than ripe for a serious review of what we want with copyright law and it's certainly not calling out just terrorists it certainly has a striking resemblance to the much debated soap of the. in the united states which sent even online giants like google and wikipedia to take direct action but the law

was only meant to work locally across the atlantic while act would be applied more globally they are not. racial groups and in some countries it needs to be ratified by parliament but not in every country so we have another option so it's open people are fair but actor is still an option for many many countries it was too much for one french e.u. deputy he quit calling act a charade then came the twitter twist the micro-blogging site saying it can now censor tweets country by country pride is active protests in warsaw were expected to gather up to forty thousand people but a sudden big freeze kept many away never the less they intend to rally for several more weeks hoping to urge warsaw's ruling circles to take a step back twenty one other e.u. member states along with poland signed actor but it's only here that the decision

has caused so much controversy and public dissent the document is yet to be ratified by the country spar laments which certainly has the possibility of more protests everywhere across the european continent let's see russia r.t. reporting from poland. and our website r.t. the comic and trace the wave of public anger over attempts to police the internet from mass demonstrations to hacker warfare. well the need for more jobs more equality while giving praise for america's military for ease abroad the some of president obama's pre-election state of the union speech much of the focus on the three areas of grass was a vote the vote a team that canonical hardships in america a president play on the satisfaction over well as perry and by the by the occupy

movement and called for the rich to pay equal taxes but obama also touted military success in iraq and afghanistan and with us a nation of asylum in lod has widely seen as a pre-election opportunity for obama to sell his campaign for the public and kerry why a former presidential candidate for the socialist equality party things that no actual change is possible in the u.s. we've come to turn back now forty nine percent of congressmen are multimillionaires the average net worth of a senator is two point five six million dollars and the obama administration since coming in continuing that bailout of wall street cutting the wages of workers is done everything on behalf of wall street and they've ruined warded him by making sure that his campaign has received millions and millions of dollars of his top officials have been drawn directly from wall street including his last three chief of staff to the white house so this again is

a is an indication that this entire political structure it's not just the democrats democrats and republicans alike are thoroughly impervious to the needs of the population they are in the pockets of the wealthiest one percent and no fundamental change is possible in america that's outside of a political movement of the working class from below that's in opposition to this entire political and economic order. and in russia the build up to the presidential election is seeing new campaign tactics emerge candidates horrors and opponents go viral using flashy and provocative messages on the internet where anything goes in a fight for a vote. playing revolutionary stamina to the test and this week hundreds of thousands of egyptians poor back to top three are square the iconic birthplace of the country's uprising but a year on the mood is somber and many egyptians disenchanted today they are

demanding the dissolution of the military council which parroted absolute power from the post president hosni mubarak this as a gyptian they vote on the upper house of parliament following lower house elections that saw the dramatic rise of islam as members of the new government is also busy putting together the country's constitution medvedev the director of the think tank transforming these as the military knows it's time and though the time is running out. most egyptians are still wary the army is still a risk supreme council of the forces. are still there the trial of the symbols of the old regime ongoing and there is a general feeling of frustration over the slow pace of change those. from the old regime and some members of the supreme council. they would like to

describe any form of opposition so those people just have a general lack of trust to lose a photo i believe that the sooner they get through the follow up the better for them they know that is. very much a little and so far there has been follow to the letter. meanwhile in libya the national transitional council has reportedly begun amassing forces including truck mounted anti-aircraft kana near the rest of town of bani walid the troop buildup comes after a deadly clashes in the town earlier this week during which government fighters were forced out the unrest mirrors a growing frustration in the country was many people fed up with government incompetence and violent power struggles between former rebels doctors without borders is also suspended its levy admission over concerns that it's being made to treat interrogation victims allegedly tortured by anti forces and with thousands of khadafi oil is still behind bars there's a growing question.
