of is not her desire to play but the fact that she's participating in a lot of tournaments held in the states and if she has to fly back to europe for a fed cup match she'll have trouble acclimating in three to five days i wish the fed cup would be scheduled a week before a grand slam tournament and not one week afterwards when coups that saw the loss of momentum in today's match in the second set i also believe that was due to the physical strain she set to go through due to scheduling. well the czech salvi defending champion team beat germany for one to reach the other semifinal after leading to no from south africa very diverse sealed a victory after coming from a set down to beat sabina see the czechs will now play italy in the last state after day one again she crane is looking forward to helping her country bid for a place in the fine. yeah i mean i guess i always like to. make her into and i mean i'm not saying only when i have

a decision maybe the lions would give it i'm not sure. but it's. very very unlucky for him to give a penalty like that. not sure if you do for anything in the first half but there is no there is a wrong decision. now a happy man the sporting is american golf stanley he has won his first title on the p.g.a. tour after coming from eight shots down on the final day of the phoenix open in arizona this time last week karl threw away a big lead at the farmers insurance open it didn't look like he would be in contention in the desert this time either starting the day eight shots back behind overnight lee dispensing levine here he was six clear of the field but that lead evaporated with a run of bogeys spends distraught with that shot into the water while carl was sinking birdies his fifth of the round drawing him level with intervene at the top of the leaderboard a nice chip out of the rough air. and he managed to keep peace cool for two short

each and social networking sites have for the past ten months been one of the activists the means of offering the world glimpses of the violence that's torn three syria activists goods reports how we got the brick through and we've just seen pictures which the b.b.c. called verify the same many differing numbers and reports getting to the bottom of what's really going on is a major challenge even from inside the country. that i think they think. the way. ahead is the u.n. security council showdown this weekend and the violence in syria seemed to reach fever pitch with activists reporting a massacre in homs that was all over the headlines and watched with horror by people worldwide initially the death toll that night was put over two hundred you

see there could be as many as two hundred just in the last hour or two that was later significantly downgraded strict access policies they have made it difficult for many foreign networks to get their correspondents into the country to collect evidence at the end of last year i leveled this criticism at the foreign minister's spokesman we've never banned the media by the way. because. we've been filtering you how can you justify for instance you on the people relying on you to. broadcasting one side even though or even on you tube you have also atrocity committed by the elements it's true that to a large extent mainstream coverage of the pro-government can has been pretty sparse this graphic video appears to show every jeems supporter be. hang with me clear picture of exactly what's happening in syria right now it's hard to know what the

western allies that the un basing their assertions on which is not really about genuine concern for human rights and democracy this is all about regime change dissatisfied with the wording of the resolution especially in china vetoed the latest proposal many felt it contained disturbing a case of libya russia and china believe the door a pin for foreign military intervention as a conflict between the two sides escalates the crisis in syria is becoming increasingly internationalized but any measures imposed from a poll to try and put an end to the violence are going to have to be very careful not to make the same mistakes made in libya they seem to be backing one side increasingly looking like. the not just syria but despite the failure of the u.n. resolution some remain optimistic that president assad can still be forced out u.s. presidential hopeful newt gingrich who's america could dominate train the rebels to

challenge ourselves rule scientists are shrinking the motives are suspect. it's an 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 homos this is definitely an act of terrorism done by the by the by the gangs that this 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 after their own people what's happening in syria and what happened elsewhere in libya is basically to bring it down and they what they need to do and what they're doing is that actually bringing 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 the stances and if he had done so and never and nothing like that would have ever happened. stay with us in a few minutes were we'll be export all designer revolutions. ever since i've been traveling the world teaching people how to get rid of their pesky dictators. and the rise of the world jonathan got it by the us story coming up. on the steady drumbeat of war keeps coming from washington and tel aviv standing up global village reaction against iran jeopardize. transparency interactive and web savvy prime minister vladimir putin sees the future of russia's democracy as the outlines his vision for greater social economic prosperity this is the latest article detailing his electoral program well for more

on this let's cross that what is about to go tell us more about how the prime minister plans to improve dialogue. between people in the government. well the main idea of the sort of go is that civil society in russia has grown developed and most importantly become much more active compared to say ten years ago and at the moment the state on its behalf is lagging behind and it's true people do want to be more active they want to have more influence on the country's political life and according to the prime minister one of the instruments to provide them with these opportunities is the internet roger would put in wants to see all government websites more user friendly in order to provide a proper basis for public discussions and this doesn't only go for say draft laws proposed by the authorities this practice is already widely in use just remember

the police law which was widely discussed on the internet but it's also goes for initiatives put forward by society itself and for example if this or that internet user puts forward an initiative which is supported by at least one hundred thousand people which leave their approval signatures for that initiative has to be reviewed by the parliament the internet can't be underestimated its influence is only going to increase in the future and if we talk about numbers this is not about the tens of thousands of people which take to the streets for this or that protest rallies is that organized first of all through the internet but this is only to tip of the iceberg and we're talking about much much more people hundreds of thousands if not millions and in the past two years or two or three years the internet has become

their sort of ground for all this discussion and one of the other opportunities that it can provide and that's very important. also in the political life is the public evaluation of civil servants which also plans to be introduced for example if locals a district of this or that city in the country are not satisfied with the way a local head of the police department works or the local judge or even the principal of a local school then they can voice their concerns on the internet so that this or that civil servants can be substituted for another one a more effective one if we take the web aside for a second and focus on the other initiatives for example the injury introduction of elections off local governors and the easing of rules for

registering new political parties which are also put supported by the prime minister initially they would pull forward by the president there are several several problems and issues which need to be mentioned here for example if we look at the reintroduction off the elections that mechanism was already operating back in the ninety's when it comes to electing local governors and it did show quite a few flaws for example back in those days it was often the case died of those with the biggest amount of money had the biggest influence and ended up being in politics and the way why this isn't really as positive as it seems is that a person can have. any goals when he goes to politics deeds. improving society or the political system or his or hers own well being and this doesn't really this mechanism doesn't really provide to differ

a one from the other and that's also goes for image makers it doesn't really matter if a person. you can be an effective civil servant or not as long as his image is successful then he could make the good win the election and according to the prime minister in order to prevent this from happening it would be control from the center has to be has to mean has to look over all these processes and also be controlled from society has to be there as well through the internet so these two combined should make. an effective and balance system of control from the authorities and from society onto the entire system now another initiative is what goes to the fight against corruption and that is to hire is to increase the salaries for civil servants in exchange for their total transparency and also put together a list of jobs which are most likely to be affected by corruption now all this

is part of the idea to put in when you put in some money fast always he plans to run for president during the upcoming presidential poll in march and this is already the fourth such article published since he announced his plans. thank you for that. presidential elections approaching russians have become more vocal in their opinions hundreds of thousands gathering to defend their political views political analyst says the protests by media when this. it's mostly just emotions fueled by the media some people were obviously irritated seeing the same two faces on television maybe too much in the last few months especially some people were terrified when they saw their position and it's more

than seven when they felt the hand of the west behind it so it's mostly media driven there is no real cost struggle behind it there are poor people and rich people in both ratings there are people of all kinds of ethnic groups in both races so right now i think it's fair and mostly a positive effect because it sort of wakes up the government to the needs of the people so until now the consequences from are mostly positive i hope it will continue in that way if there is a real split in society of course it's not going to be good for the country but i can catch more of that story and many more on our website at www dot com here's a look at what's waiting for you right now the russian street artist taking to the police heard these minerals guerrilla tactics secret identity in the name of the russian bands can be shot at the. last one you know some of us business people

just sex dungeons and the workers who say it's all down to politics and economy the full story and much more at r.t. dot com. atari officials criticize the notion of military action and ongoing western sanctions against iran the new security conference in munich they warned that any armed conflict would be disastrous for the region ever was near beirut based political analyst believes that iran's opponents are already focused on the confrontation. all the inspection by the nuclear agency. found that iran is actually weaponize ing their system they are actually following the nuclear treaty agreement there is no violation to that end but no matter what they

saying that sanction are coming at iran because that's a suspicion they are. no matter what they are just a fine or opening their facility there is some judgment already been rendered against iran's a rand said very clearly they're willing to cooperate with the international community but you have to wonder what really the international community at this point and what the american want to disappoint and as i said there's a lot of politics in it specially. probably there is really coming at this point because they think if you have one reach the level of capability of building the nuclear what then would be devastating for them. to catch up at this point and i think before six months we might we might heading into a major confrontation in the burgeoning gulf. here is witnessing

a growing outcry as the country's russian minority voices its anger of escalating state level discrimination and then upcoming referendum could see their language officially recognized the move is viewed by many as the first step on the long road to a store in their basic political rights he said. as the story. this professor from a lot wants everyone in his country to have equal rights that's why he had no second thoughts when the initiative of a referendum to make russian the country second state language came up. can't accept the policy of true true to my friends from the russian minority those who also voted for independence in one thousand nine to one we were shoulder to shoulder back then but now they're being treated like garbage new citizenship for them and no jobs here that's why i signed for the referendum ethnic russians make up a third of the us population the idea of holding this referendum came after what they

describe as ethnic discrimination had reached a critical point if the radical nationalists initiated their own referendum to close russian schools in latvia they failed but it was a worry in cool that's why we gathered signatures for a language referendum to legally protect ourselves after we did the ruling nationalists when hysterical trying to jeopardize the votes in the minority points to a recent statement by the country's president but yes at the referendum means voting against blood to be. escalating state level discrimination the nationalist denounces all such accusations however they believe their vote carries a threat to the country's sovereignty and are sending a stern warning. we allow these people to live in our territory after the collapse of the u.s.s.r. we said you can live here under certain conditions but if there.
