our team and said look we've got two games ago we've got to win two games if we do that we determine our own fate we get to the playoffs and we could be the champions of the season from really from that point it has been one single elimination game after another players of responded very very well eli manning has been in the shadow of his older brother peyton his entire career despite both quarterbacks having one super bowl title apiece the family landscape could shift dramatically if the second a great redemption story to little brothers worldwide in the making as for sunday's game plans the giants will likely bet on their defensive line to wreak havoc and force brady a rush through the make poor decisions that front for attack through the winning strategy four years ago and was also effective when the giants beat their upcoming opponents in the regular season. the patriots defeated one of the league's best

athan surveillance though and battles in the trenches could be the match ups to watch new york receivers a key mix mario manningham and victor cruz also figure to give the patriots shaky pairs defense a major fit the top story out of the patriots camp is the status of one of their time playmaker is rob grant koski the record sitting tight end has been nursing an ankle injury and a less than fully fit growing koski would mean enormous relief for the giants so far linebackers and defensive backs so a grudge rematch for the ages of the several legacies a stake in the forty six edition of america's biggest game evander gorski r.t. . now to goal for scotland's paul lawrie is celebrating after winning the doha masters for the second time in his career he joins adam scott is the only other player to win the event twice jason day and patter hansen kept the pressure on laurie in an event which was reduced to fifty four holes due to strong winds danger and great skill with this long parts of birdie the third. the australian would

a team they beat on the controversial circumstances in l.a. last year but coming off a four one win over group leaders in milan know the matadors arrive knowing a win would secure them the final playoff spot but after much having in puffin from the american side their guile was surprisingly absent in the ring dinamo moscow bantamweight and volumes of breezing past opponent even figure and while adlon abdul rashid of demolished his counterpart in the light weight category yeah. i was counting on a fight being a short one but i had no idea i wouldn't it with a knockout he presented me with an opportunity and i took it but it's good that it ended quickly because i already have another fight coming up in two weeks time. the matadors hopes of the bigger books is taking something from the match were also soon dashed both the middleweight and light heavyweight categories were largely one sided affairs with los angeles barely causing alexander ivanoff or edward yet to shift any problems but if three of the full fights in the run up to the heavyweight

bout were decided by technical knock outs the night's final clash had to be put to the judges who unanimously voted in favor of deny muslim axiom banyan this league that almost in the world that allows access to fiber fashionably and still retain that eligibility at some of the boxes and so forth knights would eventually become a live picture champions. i gather boxes from the team last year made the olympic team but unfortunately this time around there's no possibility but will be supporting those who did make it and will try it again next year although the deny must go boxing club was only founded in twenty eleven the did not see asian is the oldest sport said to tea in the country and runs of a seventy different sport disciplines which have in turn helped russia win numerous medals in recent olympic games so with that kind of history the odds are on with that the trend will continue but for now the dynamic what it is will surely settle

two hours time join me then.

russia and china blocked a western backed u.n. draft resolution on syria with moscow slamming the text for an unbalanced approach and denial of dialogue between government and opposition. other stories shaping the week riots returned to egypt as anger at the authorities failure to prevent a deadly soccer brawl spills over into four days of violent clashes that have already seen a dozen dead. and in russia's bitter subzero cold hundreds of thousands joined a record breaking route both anti and pro-government ahead of next month's presidential vote.

nine pm in moscow i mattress i bring you today's top stories and a look back at the week's news here on r t moscow says it's determined to help bring an end to the syrian crisis by implementing democratic reforms it's sending its foreign minister to damascus for talks next week on saturday russia and china blocked the latest u.n. security council resolution on syria saying it could cause even more bloodshed because it took sides in the armed conflict or he's worried important as the latest from new york. tempers are still flaring because as we've been reporting this should be surprise the security council did not reach a consensus on the draft resolution on syria yet western countries still host for a vote and russia warned from the very beginning that if the draft was not a did not address some of russia's concerns it would veto and that's exactly what happened now let's talk about these concerns because moscow said it just requested

some simple amendments would be made to the draft text that would have made the resolution a little bit more balance for example the draft resolution of the. syrian government to withdraw its all of its forces from the cities and towns and seize all violence but russian officials want to the document the draft resolution to also demand that the armed opposition groups stop participating in violence and retreat back from any cities or towns where it may have occupied the chemical as called the draft text that was presented saturday morning to one side with a list of demands being made on the assad government but no note of armed opposition groups operating in syria now while addressing the security council saturday a russian envoy to the u.n. for tali churkin said the security council was not created for the sake of taking sides or interfering in a civil war of sovereign countries he also accused some kind some countries of sponsoring

a campaign of regime change in syria those who are pushing for this resolution to be adopted don't you sleep with them still you could be some influential members of the international community including those sitting around this table have from the very beginning of the syrian crisis been undermining opportunities for political settlement by calling for regime change stirring up the opposition against the authorities and not hating to encourage and freedom of methods of struggle the draft resolution put to the vote does not adequately reflect the real situation in syria and since unbalanced signals to the syrian sides it doesn't take into account upper. that as well as withdrawing syrian armed forces from the cities this should be an end to a tunics by own groups and state institutions and neighborhoods balance you know when the signal is now the u.s. delegation could not help but showing its frustration and anger when participating in the meeting saturday morning we heard. you some language that's normally not heard in these diplomatic settings like disgusted in shame the united states is

disgusted that a couple members of this council continue to prevent us from fulfilling our sole purpose here addressing an ever deepening crisis in syria and a growing threat to regional peace and security in the meantime the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov is heading to damascus on tuesday to meet with syrian president bashar al assad russia has been very vocal in trying to get home sides participating in the conflict in syria to come to the table and start speaking to one another and. using some type of dialogue instead of violence to come to a peaceful approach so of course we will stay on the story and see how it evolves and works out. more on the diplomatic showdown over syria i'm joined by beirut based political analyst dr not a hush week so why do you think the u.s. presence in the u.k. and several arab states ignored russia's request to make specific demands on all

sides in syria to stop the violence. well first of all i think what's happening in syria is an act of terrorism and russia and china are very well aware of what's happening so their didn't really nor what's what's happening in syria is a huge conspiracy that it's actually what they want by that is the the fall of this regime and by the fall of risk this regime is they want to make sort of may make a balance after what the west is lost in the middle east so far by losing mubarak been ali. and qaddafi so by the by using you do it using this resolution against syria is basically to did bring it down and to just get rid of this regime once and for the west didn't want that i mean they've been backing the revolutions in those countries of course because first of all if

you if you go back a little bit those countries actually actually they were allies to the west and they were actually using their agenda and once they're not being use the anymore and the right way they got rid of them but syria is a completely different matter there because syria is the only country that it's actually not controlled by the west and this is why this huge conspiracy is happening towards it so they can bring it down in this kind of matter but unfortunately for them the people the syrian people develop very well aware of what's happening and definitely russia knows very well what's going on and this is why i think it's mr love rove and the head of national security is going down to meet with mr. assad to actually get more proof because what russia already know they want all the world to know about it that russia is sending foreign minister lavrov and the head of the foreign told foreign intelligence

mikhail for out of to hold talks with the syrian government about because what do you think this mission will achieve. well i think this is a huge thing for actually mr lavrov and specially the head of national security there because first of all they know exactly like i said what's happening but the thing is they want to actually get more proof for the the whole world to understand them to know is what's happening there is not not a regime change this is an act of terrorism and there's gangs that's killing syrians left and right so basically when you're completely denying the government crackdowns on the people who are protesting for example the city of homes well i'll tell you something no definitely of course something i have because first of all this is it's in outrage for somebody to believe and it's an insanity that during during the time of a u.n.

resolution is being taking down toward syria the syrian government is going to actually crack down on homeless this is definitely an act of terrorism done by the by the by the gangs that's already been getting money and weapons from different countries so they can bring down this regime so this isn't an outrage for somebody to actually believe that the government is actually doing so for their own people especially in that time right now the same countries that also say that russia and china who oppose foreign involvement in syria should bear responsibility for further bloodshed and then you have the u.s. france and britain do you think they should take blame for civilian deaths during the nato campaign in libya and. i'm sorry can you repeat the question do you think that the western countries that backed the uprising in libya for example should take responsibility for the damage in the country that's happened since. well you know this is you cannot compare whatsoever what's happening in syria and

what happened elsewhere in libya it's completely different now what's happening in syria from the very beginning it was actually a conspiracy people need to know that syria is the only country left in the middle east that is actually with the resists any resistance movement that it's going on and basically what they need to do and what they're doing with their conspiracy is to actually bring down the regime and. to make president assad not be an ally to iran and this is why president assad was never asked for any reform he was asked from the beginning to change his stances and if he'd done so another and nothing like that would have ever happened or a doctor not harshly joining us from beirut thanks for your insight. thank you. egyptian police have again fired rubber bullets in tear gas to drive a crowd of rock throwing protesters away from the interior ministry building in cairo this week clashes between security forces and demonstrators in egypt have

been raging for four days now left a dozen people dead and thousands injured activists have been venting their anger over the military rulers alleged failure to prevent a deadly outbreak of violence at a football match wednesday or he's worried if an ocean has more from cairo. things have been extremely devastating and terribly killed at the last few days and also very tragic the code so that massacre on wednesday when seventy four people died in the system heat of one of the city's football stadiums has become bites how the deadliest incident since we bought a house that last february but it's also trying to get a new wave of clashes between the police the army and demonstrators that have actually become something common seen here in the capital cairo and i've been with roads egypt the fact these people have been very weak to use. incident to use local forces especially thing to me ministry of doing nothing of

allowing this to happen the allowing these deaths and if they should see and actually only showed over instigating these trials so you would see preserved the situation of instability in the country in order to fit into existing following somehow think through tearing through all the generals from the supreme council of the armed forces they took power from the government must think we will see signs of history she's actually you have never told me after this happened on wednesday you know the whole school football fans have come to the booths nothing to do in the city in the central part of just months away from here seeking for justice and calling for amy did transition over power from the military to the civilizations until early presidential elections and since then twelve people have been. killed in the last full day sent twenty five hundred dollars budget into the thing that it's a terrible disaster i have to say i hope you can see the pictures right now as you

can imagine. while masoud street is a narrow street is one of the streets they didn't to the woods they built in over the interior ministry here in hollywood the queen many many people that chanting and to mix the slogan from time to time police has been firing tear gas at the times doesn't even show that we've been able to speak to several people though let's not listen to what they have to say about who is going and when it's going to stop people are just protesting in addition to teaching the customer the figures are unbelievable in fact even people might die and that there was nothing each day to turn everything today at china that. not to light the fire and they don't leverage. that the chinese the seventy seven year old china it's over your news it's more than enough what they're doing to the protestors and the they're doing they're mean to the way to the country and it's over must be or was you can see a situation is very volatile here in cairo and actually in several all the cities

throughout egypt but we can also can talk now about several achievements as well following point same incident key figures people from the administration all of the students have been detained and they're in custody right now is as while the investigation is ongoing and also a meeting of protesters dumond's just recently the supreme council of the armed forces advisory has also called for early presidential elections in the country. stay with us are an r.t.a. still ahead this hour a change or two and a once vocal critic of russia's prime minister is now telling a different tale. but there are very few people who would say as many horrible. you want to blame blood in your building for the death of his son alexander litvinenko but now the former f.s.b. officers bother to change his mind at all for his own theory to explain what

happened. was the latest incident for america's anti-corporate protesters face a heavy handed police response we asked how the occupy movement cope with addiction from a park they've occupied since early october. first saturday was a day of demonstrations in russia more than two hundred thousand people across the country voiced their political views ahead of next month's presidential vote two of the largest rallies happened in moscow with supporters and opponents of the current leadership braving bitter cold to have their say it was the third and largest opposition gathering after the parliamentary vote two months ago which protesters claim was raining now their main demand is for a fair presidential vote in march for more on the russian rallies i'm joined by. researcher and author of the book full spectrum dominance totalitarian democracy in the new world order so back in november prime minister putin accused foreign governments of funding russia's opposition do you think there's any basis for the claim. oh no question there's bases it's documentable from the records of the

national endowment for democracy which is a washington government financed. that's all over the police in russia they're financing activists in. several different cities in russia with their finance and people like the famous blogger alexei. point volved and this is meddling with the russians with. all right we lost your signal briefly there but hopefully available to stay with us for this interview so thinking back to the latest public scandal over the video showing russian opposition leaders leaving the u.s. embassy reportedly after meetings with the embassador do you think that for involvement in fact could turn a public mood against the opposition. if the opposition if the public informs itself on what's going on i think it quite well could backfire on washington they're trying to do the same template they used in ukraine with the

orange revolution in georgia to bring saakashvili into power as a. president in that country and i don't think it will work in russia i whatever mistakes the. ten year has brought with it in whatever discontent is i think there are a lot of things that have significantly improved over the last years since the time of the yeltsin era. but that that really isn't the point the point is us interference in internal russian election affairs is something that ought not to be tolerated and it's quite right not to tolerate it who do you think western countries would prefer to see as the next russian president old well the cast of opposition people that they're financing and back in are pretty dubious a lot. of me and so forth these are all people who've sold their soul to washington for one price or another i think really their expectation is to create as much internal unrest in russia as possible to distract the prospective new putin

presidency at a time when russia is going to face challenges with the missile defense with the destabilization of the assad regime in syria the attempt to create regime change in iran and throughout the middle east and you raise or to try to divert any russian any incoming russian government from dealing with these crises and they have the latest rallies have any bearing on how russia is being seen abroad. i don't think it's having a huge bearing the western media has so painted putin black. since is. munich speech in two thousand and six where he correctly identified the purpose of the missile defense program of washington as as an attempt aimed at russia and a very strategically devastating attempt at russia and ever since in the western me to.
