a bit of a nightmare as the ball rolled agonizingly into the water he then three parted for a triple bogey and that meant he'd go into a pail and snedeker where on the second extra hole stanley just missed his hand snedeker the title and the million dollars in prize money. tossed off really walking out there to refocus to really get back in the new tournament doesn't matter if it was you know if you're going to back my way into the playoffs i need to make sure every deploy and i did get some great shots made some good parts i'm just very very fortunate to be where i know for sure. robert rock was a surprise winner at the darby championship he shared the overnight lead with inform tiger woods going into the final day and the two were neck and neck early on with both birding two of the three holes but woods then crumbled with two straight goods while thirty four year old rock whose granddads side the top one hundred

lakers beat the timberwolves one hundred six points to one hundred nine one the lakers with only their second road win of the season they were in complete control midway through the third quarter with bryant making it seventy one fifty five with a long shot. but in the middle of the fourth minnesota managed to pull back to within two points as marshall webster finishes off an impressive past of ricky rubio screws me and then edge their head through michael beasley ninety one eighty nine but it was not enough koby was unstoppable at the end of the game as the lakers closed out one hundred six hundred one when whites finally with a week to go before the super bowl final the traditional pro bowl has been staged with brandon marshall scoring four touchdowns in the f.c.s. fifty nine forty one win over the n.f.c. how why in the backdrop of this all star game this is the best play is from the n.f.l. go head to head quarterback aaron rogers gave the n.f.c.

world. science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the future covered.

there on a warrant a ban on oil sales to some countries is still possible amid growing in tehran rhetoric from campaigning u.s. politicians out of this year's presidential race. dark clouds of war looming over the syrian capital with heavy artillery fire heard on the outskirts and government tanks witnessed on the streets. cops and often fires in the city you both want all notions of tolerance go out the window as police called barred pro-equality activists were made to rubber bullets and jail time. prime minister putin gets down to business and comes up with russia's new economic layout in the latest article to back his presidential bid.

of the russian capital you're watching r t with marina joshie welcome. tehran's plans to hold or oil exports to some e.u. countries are still alive warns iran's oil minister and this despite the country's parliament temporarily postponing the debate on a possible cut of crude supplies to iran is aiming to deflect the flow of sanctions adopted by the west that have been targeting the country's oil industry by implementing the measures the u.s. and the european union are seeking to bring in ends to iran's alleged nuclear weapons program meanwhile a high profile group of i spect there is have begun their three day mission to examine iran's nuclear activities iran says the talks were you an atomic body officials the first in such a level in more than three years will prove its nuclear ambitions are peaceful

professor side mohammad marandi from the university have to ron says the i.a.e.a. visit will not change the west's hardline approach towards iran. the a currently has full time monitors in iran and this is something that we rarely hear in the western media we have cameras in all of iraq installations so therefore there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that iran's nuclear program is anything but peaceful and. has no evidence on this the iranians are not very optimistic about the i.a.e.a. because it is heavily influenced by western countries it's not a democratic body most of the members on the board are european and north american they don't represent the international community at all and the head of a is he owes his job to the united states if you look at the wiki leaks documents the united states and the europeans are basically engaging in acts of war against

the iranian people as the real issue is not the nuclear program it is iran independence and sovereignty. where america beats the drums of war over iran to be not always be driven by the islamic states nuclear intentions would be u.s. presidential candidates aren't shy when it comes to voicing their anti-rock rhetoric in front of america's influential jewish community are just more important explains. america almost never misses an opportunity to trace its ally ironclad commitment and i mean ironclad to israel's security has meant the closest military cooperation between our two countries in history both point a proverbial punch at its greatest adversary but there be no doubt. america is determined to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon and i will take no options off the table. however for many american jews and israel supporters iraq obama's war of words against iran doesn't

go far no sign of the simply state i'm committed to israel's security you have to promote policies that commit you to show that you're serious about his security israel through these actions feels that obama is not committed to doing everything this power to stop iran from having nuclear weapons iran is a in this an existential threat to israel and obama should be saying. so publicly that he will support israel in whatever military action they stay necessary more inclined is president of the zionist organization of america he says an unprecedented amount of american jews and israelis share his animosity a feeling arguably underscored by the israeli government according to published reports televisa would only give washington twelve hours notice if deciding to strike iran i believe his policies are among the most hostile israel's ever experienced of any president in my lifetime recently it was the life of president

obama being threatened in a column written by the owner of the atlanta jewish times in an article titled what would you do andrew adler listed the assassination of obama as one way to ensure israel's security he wrote in part give the go ahead for u.s. based mossad agents to take out a president deemed unfriendly to israel in order for the current vice president to take his place and forcefully dictate that the united states' policy includes helping the jewish state obliterate its enemies i think that threat. or we are going to kill you either politically or literally i think that it. serious threat. seriously the american president and while money. is the largest. group in the united states it is the kingmaker in.

the american israel public affairs committee known as apac declined our request for an interview meanwhile obama finds himself facing another election and a slew of republican opponents banging on much louder war drums against iran with regards to iran which perhaps represents the greatest exist central threat to israel we have to make it abundantly clear it is unacceptable that i take those that word carefully is unacceptable for iran to become a nuclear nation if rick santorum and when rick santorum is president iran will not get a nuclear weapon because the world as we know it will be no more clear i want to have israel i'm very close to netanyahu i would have said publicly that i would rather plan a joint operation conventionally than push the israelis to a point where the nuclear. at a time when the u.s. bears the burden of a broken economy growing social unrest and ongoing military conflicts starting

a war with iran would not be in america's best interest but in order to keep a best friend many believe president obama will be forced to put israel's national security first. r.t. new york. going western attempts to corner iran and what iran is doing in response are both tackled in paedophiles crossed that's coming up at eleven thirty am g.m.t. and here's a taste of what's ahead. wants to bring the hidden event out of a well by doing something spectacular and destructive to enemies of islam and this is what motivates him not the old soviet leadership who for all their misdeeds were atheists so they believe that a nuclear war and death was an end in failure and many things die in a nuclear war for allah will get him to paradise what incentive do you have to bring to bear on him what camera can you offer him to compare with us so you have to be prepared to stop his military efforts if he says i'm going to war when he says he doesn't and you can evolve why don't you marry in the helium god he wants

to wipe out israel which is what for a country that has been attacked anybody should not be only dropped to the most powerful nation this kind of rhetoric this kind of rhetoric is not good for israel israel is a very strong country and it doesn't need this bibi netanyahu use of his kind of information and rhetoric to get reelected he doesn't need another people you know going to end like you did when i saw this interesting to me. syrian troops backed by tanks and have young a nation have reportedly regain control over the outskirts of damascus activists suggest over sixty people have been killed in the latest fighting just over the after the arab league mission was frozen r.t. sarah ferguson ports from the syrian capital. well a sense really that this decision to hold the mission was going to inflame an already extremely volatile situation and unfortunately that's exactly what we've

seen happen now minister lavrov was speaking on his tour of asia pacific countries and what he said about it was that he didn't really understand why such a useful tool was used in this way and now we've seen the observer mission start and eventually grounds to hold they never really recovered after that decision last week for the gulf states when they withdrew their monitors now their decision they said was because they felt the mission had failed to hold the syrian government to its pledge to end the violence and it was a surprising decision that's how the foreign minister described it because at exactly the same time that the gulf states made that decision the decision would also be made to extend the mission and now it was interesting was when that decision was made for the gulf states to withdraw their monitors one of the observers sides i was speaking to you had hinted that perhaps the rest of them would would follow in its things really now with them having that mission hold it

this is possibly what's going to happen we've got the meeting coming up on cheese day where the arab league are going to be presenting. findings essentially briefing the un and most guys named remained very very adamant that it's not going to back any plan that's going to leave the door open to foreign military intervention in fact again their response to western calls now that has said that it's impossible to hold dialogue with the regime here the foreign minister called very irresponsible and indeed unforgivable as i think there's a real sense that this arab league was the one opportunity ready to piss you the resolution through dialogue there's a lot of people here saying what was the point in having them here in the first place if they were going to be made strengthened if they were going to try wait where was dialogue and they always essentially were going to lead to a un. action anyway got her off the go do you know you've got are being all these areas around the capital that have seen increasing conflict than there were really

serious reports about the violence happening in those areas and very very concerning because the area way way west fact but you've got a huge number of civilian people still on the ground that he's lives in now in very very serious danger with this as collating situation. so first reporting there has there is also helping you keep track of the syrian conflict and stay up to the minute with all developments in the country via her twitter stream in her latest tweets she says observers compare the are fact finding mission to tom and jerry as a trace of the unrest unsuccessfully around the country well that's how they explain the difficulty in trying to get an accurate perspective on the situation in certain areas.
