championship race isn't over yet i spent all this chargers claimed victory in their sunday game against valencia it was it is just opened nine minutes into the game but then responded with five unanswered girls. with the biggest contribution of four five one the final score their victory kaplan's up ten points drift over the plate is i want to tell us now where roger federer has won the world tunnel meant in water the world number three comfortably defeated juan martin del potro in straight sets the sixteen time grand stand when it raced into five love first set late eventually taking it six one picture then never looked down and the second set as fragile wrapped up by straight sets victory six one six four finish claims a typical title. that's good you know good to get a good start i thought i was really close to window as well but i had

a bad back and that kind of you know maybe eluded me a victory over there and australia was close so this was another big tournament for me i knew when i was in the semi there were three straits times which was a good thing when i made it to defines after the match was that we didn't go i knew this is maybe exactly how it goes through a tough one and then you come out the other side and it's beautiful sunshine and you play great so that's how it felt today and the beating quality players like at the end it's a great feeling. meanwhile victoria azarenka remains unbeaten in twenty twelve after thrashing samantha stosur six one sixty eight to win the match this was as aren't as seventeenth consecutive victory as the australian open champion dominated from start to finish i have a two snowboarding now where chair skilled has claimed the world championships title in the slopestyle in no way they american complete it. competitions program

with the highest score despite considering some of the finals elements to his opponents for the most total of eight to seven point nine was just one point of the second flakes canadian sébastien two ton meanwhile set but summits of belgium finished some ten of the points behind. us in the moment join the people around me only have this career lancy get to enjoy the time that you're doing it so i didn't take it too seriously just had fun with it. in the meantime the ladies event saw spencer o'brien of kind of triumph started the final process the greater the five didn't hold vantage over the rest of the pack the total score of the eighty four point four points secured the canadian a comfortable advantage of the travel jamie anderson of the it's a. very tough and let's get to the point play me drums i was so nervous i have had a really rough week here hurt my back

a bit had some big spells and just had a hard time getting sort of course so today i just i really just wanted to put a run down and finally pupils from twenty eight special needs schools gathered in the war school region for an annual sports tournament but they see as event has an additional significance somewhere that when it is awarded the chance to train for an expedition to the north pole has all the details. unlimited mobility for people with disabilities is slowly but surely becoming a common theme in modern society but the world's largest country is still up and coming in this sense improving its environment each year special praise is in order for people like my face bharat whose adventure lab offers a unique experience for the you know what we are going to stage the fifth russia new thinks bishan to the north pole kids who want to take part must be sixteen to eighteen years old and they must take part in skiing contests like ski russia

twenty twelve we've also decided to set up an event for kids with disabilities who are just as enthusiastic and yearning to win as so-called normal kids. candidates for the north pole expedition are selected in two phases with the first already having been staged on the twelfth of february as sport of an all russia ski day the annual secure russia event so hundreds of thousands of amateurs braved the subzero temperatures across the country. when so many people take part in ski racing it's always a joy it means sport is popular in our country nor people choose a healthy way of life it's the city's anniversary of the race which has a long history and good traditions who had about twenty five thousand participants this year piller joy but they sure as kompany has been organizing skiing competition for kids with special needs for four years with twenty eight teams

joining the action this winter to compete for the mayor scott you're sure you're going to go see it it's been a great day so motional we won this race last year and hopefully will defend our title this time the kids did their best indeed and that's thanks to a very thorough training but having a good time with their friends and family is what it was mostly about for the majority of the participants and achieving a winning result has taken the back stage to a one of a kind of winter experience. having fun is not the only goal for these kids in case sell one of their buddies to get in for a ball on the track their friends will be a right there to help them and this is how it's done let's go. to the north pole skiing expedition in that bite two time guinness world record holder much they show are all will be staged from the fifteenth until its one third of april the fifth edition will feature seven young men and women who will cover one hundred kilometers to reach the top of the earth and the presence of people

with physical limitations is by no means a hurdle no nothing to do when we cross greenland we had a guy who cannot walk because of spinal promises he would sit on a special boat and push him so forward with sticks but his disability did not prevent him from cooking the sign that was his job the more we would do something else he couldn't do. it using so much of a spiral is now down to forty candidates who will join him on a training course in march and head of the north pole schemes petition which will be held in april the group will cover the distance from the bar nail eyes base all the way to the top of the world room on cost of artsy moscow region well that's all the sports is for the moment join us for more in toss time head say by fatah.

question is that so much as i can recall right on it here the trials and tribulations of the middle class long considered the pillar of the west political and economic order is now the victim of a long term. you

know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so for langley you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture. of the world with the. funny it's technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the future covered. on. more news today violence is once again flared up.

these are the images cold world has been seeing from the streets of canada. the giant corporations are all today. heinies state media says that u.s. and nato countries the support of syria's opposition is driving the nation into civil war archie travels to one violence right now where the army and the rebels have. decision time for greece it's creditors debate whether athens will sink or swim as the population rages against deep consummate to execute for the bailout. and on the path to war to london and washington warn israel against attack signs asking for time sanctions do their job.

here's in common coming to you live broadcasting from the heart of moscow on karen taraji the u.s. and its allies are pushing syria into civil war by backing the armed opposition they are says a chinese state newspaper beijing joint efforts to bring about a political settlement in the crisis torn country was a top chinese diplomat recently visiting damascus amid reports of ongoing violence in the country artie's maria has been to one of the syrian cities caught up in the conflict. zabadani i think to kilometers northwest of damascus lebanon just over the border once a relaxed luxury mountain resort the town has recently been the scene of brutal clashes between assad's forces and anti-government groups there is a lull in the fighting and as we approach the city we're not sure who's in control

at the checkpoint they are happy to see a russian television crew as solid hint about who is in charge here russia is among the few countries still talking to assad and calling for others to have dialogue with the regime along with china it to be towed to the u.n. security council's resolution and voted against another one at the general assembly which put pressure on assad to leave this town nobody home to around twenty thousand people looks abandoned the reminders of recent turbulence tell their own tale of what happened here on these walls you can see the story of the conflict how it was developing here in the city of there by danny initially there were some graffiti here about president bashar al assad then when the armed groups operating in this area took control over this town knew griffith is a period of course and to government one of the army regain control of his adani they destroy them or they try to destroy them all at least but some still remain

where we are in town we can hear sounds of shelling some turn a deaf ear to it all is fine shooting but i don't know those who agreed to talk don't want to show their face. the army intervene and it's killing us they're showing random houses searching arresting people for say an armored groups on the ground too but few. but not everyone here says the situation in the same way was when armed people came here we asked the army to stand up for us now they are controlling the city at the dulles shop is in an area where much of the fighting took place. i was away when i arrived the army told me there had been a big battle here is the army is now here there's no armed groups anymore no tension of the brother daniel the clashes between security forces and the armed opposition groups here near the town of the dunny have been very severe how it all

stopped the locals tell us that their town has a unique story when the violence started the residents decided to intervene and there has allegedly been an agreement between the army and the opposition that both of them leave the town although the military officer we have been able to speak to didn't confirm that and we can still see. many military and machinery inside the city we had a look around and counted at least thirteen tanks but the military tell us they were only used as protection on the way back through the checkpoint an officer keeps watering everyone suspicious in this violence locked nation raif nationality danny syria. washington and its allies are calling on president assad to step down while marling further support for the rebels middle east blogger coral shero says this approach will spell chaos for the syrian people. but assume assad were to step

down tomorrow who is actually the legitimate political opposition to take control and when the west talks about supporting or the gulf states this side or the outside who are actually in the group so you would go to finance or give support to so within the vacuum who would step in you would have people returning from iraq the kind of the weapons or the experience and i think what we really need to be aware of is this highly erratic nature of western policy in particular u.s. policy towards all the countries in the region but particularly now towards syria that is kind of becoming provocative the west really needs to step back and try to cool things down before the escalate out of control middle east blogger karl charo talking to us from london there. it's the moment of truth for greece as euro zone finance ministers gather in brussels to decide its future the french finance minister has hinted the outcome could be in athens as favor greece has met all of

its creditors demands to secure the second bailout and is expecting to be rewarded with the euro zone's backing the country has already forced a massive new austerity package to qualify for one hundred thirty billion euros of rescue passion but there is now that funds could be paid into a specially set up account athens as access to it would be restricted and if it misses its targets the cash flow would stop the rage of the greek people however is only growing with every new political measure imposed as artie's jacob greaves reports. voting for morse there is something dubbed by greece's caretaker prime minister has a moment of historic responsibility a notion some especially the greek population feel has been lost on eurozone leaders. i feel disappointed and sad because these measures were imposed on us by foreigners and we didn't have a say as a greek people. but there is a wise old greek proverb that the person who borrows and borrows becomes the slave

of who he borrows from an uptick sickness after passing more unpopular cuts greek politicians are told that brussels amberley and perspiring the decision on another bailout that and questions over greece's place in the euro led the country's finance minister to talk they were toying with a nation's future this is by no means the first set of austerity measures to be imposed on greece but with a significant amount of coalition m.p.'s choosing to say no it does mark a shift in thinking among governing politicians. share the grievances of the public and offer them an alternative if the greek economy is not restart just if it doesn't go down the alley of development that eventually greece at some point. in that case what will happen is that all of the assets of this country will actually pass in the hands of the. of the funders in total forty three m.p.'s in the ruling

coalition chose to say no to morris there are they even among those in favor may remain hostile to the euro zone's message and how it's being delivered i think such type of message is brussels of. the people forces in greece. and all of us that the measures don't solve the problem they make it worse we need development we need development for the survivor the greek economy the growing fear among both the greek public and politicians appears to be that eurozone leaders aren't all that. well that about their well being that there's more people. of this situation because it's rewarding greece cover way. very last sunday's mass demonstrations are going to mewing the sent a message to those in athens and brussels but the voting through austerity may have been an historic moment as one put the nation's problems to. meaning rather than be

resigned to the past seas of anger are likely to be part of greece's future. greece athens. tell us what you think about greece's financial woes at r.t. dot com we ask what more rescue funds will mean for the country if the bailout is handed over half of you think athens is already doomed and more cash will make no difference a lot of you also believe the bailout and the cuts needed to secure or it will only make people's lives harder just six percent of you say the e.u. will not let greece collapse and even fewer believe bailouts are the only way for greece to stay afloat let's now talk to your home van overtveldt who is the editor in chief of trends and belgium's leading business publications we've been asking our viewers how they think the next bailout will impact on the greek economy what do you think. well i think to put it to summarize it's very briefly that it will make things worse for the greek economy the greek economy is in

a deep recession at the moment the austerity program that is imposed on the country will worsen the recession which in its turn will worsen the budget outlook and so the negative spiral in which we breed economy and greek society has been imprisoned for almost the last two years will only get worse so this is not really a solution to the greek problem greece is finance minister has announced that his country has met all demands so is the bailout a done deal now no no no there are still a lot of issues on the table first of all there is hundred and seventy billion euros needed to get greece through the following years now this thirty four billion euros left from the first package from may two thousand and ten so they need to find not only one hundred thirty six billion euros on top of that it has become

obvious in the last twenty four hours that thirty five billion euros needed to recapitalize the greek banks is not included in the hundred seventy billion euros so we are talking now about a package that in reality is about two hundred billion euros which happens to be exactly the amount equal to greek gross domestic product so we're talking here about a rescue package that is worth what the entire greek economy is for at the moment but german chancellor angela merkel has declined either to increase support for greece or let it leave the euro she says the solution is closer ties inside europe but chamberlayne act more decisively in the short term. i think this kind of remarks are totally beside the point at the moment you have to. look at reality as it presents itself what you need for greece is to have

a growth perspective for the economy of greece you don't have that at the moment and the longer we wait the more it becomes obvious that the only way we can get the greek economy going again is by indeed exiting the euro zone which will lead of course to a devaluation of the new direct me but that is exactly what is needed to get the economy through international growing again but germany's finance minister has been proposing that greece should postpone its elections as one of the conditions for the bailout how far does berlin think its financial help allows it to dictate athens us politics well of course the big man in europe is germany germany is insisting on these kind of measures. will probably lead the other to go down the same road with germany the big question remains however whether this will solve anything i don't think this will solve anything for the greek economy and as

a matter of fact you can ask the question with what do we do we're not talking here about a choice between money and democracy and i think it would be very bad for europe and certainly for the whole idea of a unified europe that discussion on the rescue of ultimately boiled down to a choice between money in the muck you see it it would very much prove to us that we are on the wrong track here and very shortly i'd just like to switch focus here to the talk about funds could be paid into a specially set up account from which athens will only be able to withdraw cash if it meets all its budget targets how do you view this proposed measure. well this is something i can understand from the point of view from the troika because to say the least the trustworthiness of the greek politicians has not been impressive so i don't say that there was money actually misused but i think what we need or the way we have to understand this is that the people from the troika the

specialists from the troika would like to have much more time to control on what is happening in terms of the policies being pursued in greece so this is something i think most people can live with but it's only part of a much broader picture that is much bleaker than this technicality. over felt who is editor in chief of trends a knack belgium's leading business publications thank you for taking the time. coming up here on our national security focus. just a couple of weeks in the presidential race a lot of it it is like his vision for the russian armed forces are going to have all the details coming out shortly for. the u.s. and britain are warning israel not to attack iran's nuclear facilities saying new sanctions need time to work on currently being visited by u.n.

inspectors denies accusations it's developing atomic weapons but israel which also accuses top problem of attacking its diplomats abroad could now be on an unstoppable path to a military strike artie's arena reports from tel aviv. israel's leaders are actively drumming up the military rhetoric. iran is the biggest terror exporter in the world the israeli government and its security forces will continue to act forcefully systematically and calmly against international terror from iran. a potential israeli rocket clash looks more likely than ever there is speculation a preemptive strike against iran's nuclear sites could happen as early as spring or summer although that's not causing undue concern in israel i think possibly people you know they make their plans for a vacation you know pass or a vacation summer vacation possibly people are beginning to wonder well is there

going to be a war is something going to mess it up or i think they're probably going ahead with it with sort of a thought we're back tomorrow it would be nice if we could get a flight that we could cancel you know you know it's that sort of thing israel has previous experience when it comes to putting an end to nuclear ambitions which pose a potential threat in one thousand nine hundred one is jets wiped out reactors in iraq they struck again in two thousand and seven hitting sites in syria but with iran's nuclear program things may not be so simple if if israel attacks iran it will not stop iran forever from getting nuclear weapons the only postpone it for a relatively brief amount of time the. installations are too diverse and far flung to destroy affectively israel does not have us poor white house secretary adviser was in israel over the weekend warning against a move on iran saying it was better to wait for tougher sanctions to take effect in the coming months but mines male ready be made up i think one of the things that to

create this aura of inevitability is to shut them up to shut up opposition at home and of course to convince the united states and europe that this is an inevitability it's going to happen don't oppose it in fact why don't you help us out there is a question mark however over whether israel has what it takes to carry out their mission i dog with the we have the capability. of creating damage is to the extent of the mediating the program and even if israel's military prowess will allow it to carry out a strike on underground facilities in iran chances are it won't and there as you know saddam hussein and bashar assad by the time they knew what was happening was over and could just you know grumble without having to fight back you imagine iran sitting still you know all day day after day day after day what israel is really sure figure to hit back i think any any sane person realize.
