admits the game against iceland bunch allow him to play against similar opponents their games used in the job of the manager novel but iceland are a team that like to keep possession and their playing system is completely different they don't like to play long ball football up to a target man like northern ireland do so the friendly with iceland won't really help us in preparation for this game. for them there are many new faces in the squad so once again under your shouting in public ok they are still to make the cuts capello explaining a former russian captain is not getting enough first team football for his club side also known march's mind of it's also not included but it seems by the italian is prepared to give a porter midfielder a chance in the future. russian season hasn't started yet following the winter break while the portuguese campaign is in full swing and therefore his mother would have been in completely different physical condition with which to the rest of the squad if he joined our training consequently i have already booked a trip to portugal. and will be watching is my live in porter's jumpiness league

clash with moloch look at even. capello is yet to reach the peak during his reign as russia's coach but wednesday's game of iceland senior friendly the sixty six year old will be determined to keep his side's unbeaten record intact and that will provide his squad with a good confidence boost to be one of their toughest assignments and replan may take on moving on in belfast at the end of march which of them believe me daunting. so from russia to the best of the rest from around the world in a week dominated by the beautiful game. on monday just days after turning thirty three barcelona linchpin chatting on those signed a two year contract extension to remain at was only up so far at least until twenty sixteen for the midfield maestro came third in the bell on the door for three years running and was named player of the tournament at euro two thousand and eight he

from the ice now to the slopes and ahead of this week's well skiing championships in austria the world cup calendar managed to squeeze in one final stage though it wasn't in the alps but here in the russian capital doesn't get up off explains all . it may be surprising to see alpine skiing competitions not only fall from the mountains but also in big cities but if you don't have a mountain you can always build one such man made events have made a significant pork on the world cup calendar over the past three years and this season for the first time ever two cities have hosted for a low slalom advance munich in moscow and the skiers seem to enjoy taking part in them if you stand up here at the starting gate it is amazing you have to so a nice view over the whole city in moscow and it makes it always very special and it was officials in moscow who proposed including such events in the world cup calendar after two exhibition tournament in two thousand and nine and twenty eight

sand the russian capital finally hosted its inaugural world cup stage last year on a ramp of around sixty metres in height and we've had two hundred meter sixteen men and sixteen women go head to head in the knockout barrel slalom each here has had a different venue and this time it was in the north of moscow. despite missing some big names who are preparing for the world championships which kick off in austria next week season stop skiers erupted in the capital to the delight of the crowd in one of moscow's biggest barks in the women's can petition current world champion who tops the season world cup ranking surprisingly failed to make it to the semifinals slovenian finishing only fifth while it was twenty one year old lana do it who stole the show having never before finished in the top five the german went all out reaching the two legged final where she edged sword back and growing because as all of what the winner in munich the. it's amazing i didn't expect that

and i just focused on myself and had so much fun here. with and slowly employing so norfork marcel here should have the chance to extend his lead in the men's standings and the austrian to full advantage of beating events across their list of creation the last four before lining up alongside swedes and remove it in the deciding run twenty three year old future was second in munich but nothing could stop him from clinching she was six when of the season. there's a lot of enjoyment i mean this. man to man to man and you know it is so always pretty it's off very close. everyone can ski here pretty fast with this week to a huge show increased his lead in the old world cup standings with just four stages to go and produced a good warm up ahead of the world championships in his native for st well despite a disappointing performance maza remains top of the women's table as the focus

moves back to the room mountains this week. on sunday and our team. well also football won but we'll be back after a short break to see the kings and queens of the tennis court after well number one is now about djokovic and tori as are in fact. top ranks straight i think chapter full of french. music enough to find out what she thinks is right in the world. there are twelve cities in the united states in which half of the people with hiv aids lives within a year of a diagnosis of. over sixty two percent of those patients i diagnosed with this is a problem that frankly is substantially preventable it was like the big elephant in the room and nobody wanted to talk about. there were really good public health

campaigns that people were really focused on this problem certainly should be about a lot less a tragedy a lot less human suffering. is easy to. see. your language. with know if. it's the it's the concerns get. to the opinions that invigorating.

the storms that in the long. chills be excess to your officers. welcome back to part two of the sports show and let's resume with tennis and the

first grand slam of the season the australian open but as my own female world number one successfully defended their titles and top ranking roberts more than young talk with russia's first. went out to thousands of for french open champion. to help explain why couldn't the greek because victoria azarenka knew she needed to win the australian open to remain world number one and that's what she was really bothered about she wanted to prove that she deserved the top spot in the rankings so she gave her all in melbourne i think she produced one of her best ever performances. as there are a good strong was the second straight down the russian had one of melbourne work and second grand slam title since joining brawl in two thousand and three and according to one of russia's most technically adept former players in the sea and the kid was armed the success is simple the intelligent use of her own strength. as our anchor is powerful plus she's also very patient and she knows the best

moment to turn her power on and she plays wider using different angles all the space of the court that's what gives her an edge. it was the usa sloane stephens who produced the biggest shock of the tournament the nineteen year old stunned compactor and serena williams in the quarter finals and was only stopped by that eventually jump down in the last four. and stevens moves well and hits hard and she can read her opponents but she's not good at offensive play yet if she needs to create more opportunities if she improves this aspect she'll be very hard to beat. meanwhile the other semifinal saw another favorite bow out as maria sharapova was threshed by former french open champion of china look at the q a psychiatrist there are some psychological factors that affect a chair opposite performance i mean opponents produced a very solid tennis at the same time and ali who beat her in the semifinals had some old scores to settle was extremely motivated i think maria played good tennis

but not good enough to win this particular grand slam wash because of. the man's amount so all four top seeds reached the semifinals before world number one joke which claimed an open era record of three a throw an open titles in a row and four in the twenty five year old who threw in career. dr drew we're going to talk djokovic likes to play in australia he feels comfortable in every respect plus he didn't face roger federer and i think this might have made a difference i think that roger is currently the only one who can beat novak he knows him very well and his mental game is stronger than in the final against andy murray djokovic it was federer. who was faster. and before close to i had some unfinished business after our previous interview in december goes. bone for comparisons between the mass and women's game and the reason for serena williams

dominance today in the arena claims most of her wins by means of power and strength but when she's not a full capacity or injured like against stevens she can be outplayed because she loses her main asset power as long stints in stevens is a perfect example of how unpredictable women's tennis is ahead of the australian open i would have expected serena to win it. all would solution then in the men's of bent no backdrop of which was a strong favorite and he did win it quickly said look we expected all four top guys to be in the semifinals the only question was how many sets to give away. and for those fans who agree or disagree your feedback is still welcome. r.t. . now after watching his arrival in france let's hear from david beckham he was happy about joining. but his french was a little rusty. my wife and children there will be staying longer because the

children go to school there now so. we're excited as a family to be honest to god it was a great tradition or even the way one zero. zero meanwhile well number five rafael nadal is bracing himself for a tough comeback as the spanish king of play is set to play for the first time since wimbledon after a knee injury arm stomach virus sidelined going for seven months. i am able to play these three tournaments in a row i think going to work very well for me because i would have. been weeks to prepare the nest that there were still to cease and i know that the first they're going to be more difficult in terms of overs uls but i play everything well you can give the courts lebron james couldn't believe how lucky he was as his club the miami heat were received by us president barack obama after clinching best second n.b.a. title last season. chris it is real casual so i mean we kids she's gonna go

down to texas michigan and ohio in south dakota. i know they were. they were in the white house right now this is my. momma maybe i. only one goal star phil mickelson hopes his new driver club could turn his fortunes around after the american four time major winner faintest third phoenix open title by four stripes in ours i'm ok being able to hit those fairways and make birdies and play though those whole aggressive aggressively that that's a big thing for me so the fact that this club is so easy to hit now i think it's going to change us year for me i really do because meyer plays always been the strength of my game and it was certainly good today good this week. and for me the one champion sebastian vettel is taking nothing for granted and fast approaching

a new season as his red bull team unveiled their new car in england after dominating the sport for the past three years. as i said there's no guarantee or nothing that helps us to keep you know keep on on winning or doing a good job so you really have to you know focus every single time in our case every single up and trying to get everything together. let's look ahead to next year's winter olympics freestyle skiing became an official event in the one nine hundred ninety s. but one in which russia has so far failed to excel however there's been a dramatic improvement over the past few years and as richard than paul think reports its hopes the country could make an impact on their home games in sochi vancouver olympics are a massive disappointment for russia the country's freestyle skier has failed to become a medal but a podium spot was never really expected from a squad lacking experience this fall consists of five separate disciplines for both men and women moguls aerial ski cross as well as home point and slope style which

will both be making very big debuts in two thousand and fourteen and russia's head coach is quietly confident ahead of the song she games if they'll let us in the world we've made massive strides since the vancouver olympics in almost all the freestyle disciplines ten years ago we the struggling to get into the top ten in the team event is now were around the top three however we have a lot of work ahead of us freestyle is a very technical sport and there are a lot of the moves to the hard to most but the most important thing is we're moving in the right direction and the results should follow your. mood goals ariel's and ski cross or russia strength with the countries athletes are ready managing to battery time with the world's best on the freestyle circuits built a middle each has already achieved a podium finish in the men's aerials this season while you've got a call has been very consistent of a men's ski cross and head coach concussion acuff is expecting at least two medals

at the sochi games and he's impressed by the development of freestyle skiing in russia. there's been a boom in freestyle skiing within russia over the last few years but a new center is being built across the country and the number of athletes competing on the world cup circuit is increasing because look i think we still have some work to do in the aerials. however the moguls in ski cross disciplines and looking much better. than hot point snowboarding is ready in a stablished really big events half pipe skiing will be making it's a big debut and so much she along with slope style home where the goal is to perform difficult tricks after getting as much height as possible on the jumps no russian is currently ranked in the world's top fifteen events and russia's preached on head coach and meets his team has some catching up to do in these disciplines. as we only started to put off pipe and slope style teams together last year and

therefore it will be really hard to try and catch the world's best work when there are not enough facilities for health by being rusher at the moment which is hindering our development is going yes it is too early for us to be dreaming about winning medals but if we can try and make the finals that will be an excellent achievement. for just over a year to go to sochi olympics get under way time is running out for russia's freestyle ski team the head coach doesn't feel on day any extra pressure and believes the country's home games will work in method even i'm going by encouraging world cup results over the last couple of years there is real optimism that russia can win their first ever olympic freestyle medals in two thousand and fourteen richard bumbled legality moscow. so with only a year to go before those winter olympics in such a the black sea resort is undergoing its toughest test yet three international sporting events are taking place there with hundreds of outlets and thousands of

thermals converging on both the sea and ranting that moves with more. well it is amazing to think that within six years sochi has pretty much from scratch managed to complete all the venues it needs to host the winter olympics in twenty fourteen as you can see it is still a work in progress but all the nicest say they are seventy percent ready and a lot of the facilities are up and running however this week three international events will be held and they will prove to be a saatchi's biggest test yet firstly here at the olympic park will be a world cup staging short track speed skating and then in the mountains behind me which are about forty kilometers north of our sniper yana there will be world cup stages in the nordic combined and also cross-country skiing and while this gives the athletes an opportunity to test the facilities it also gives organizers a chance just to see how the transport system is working how the ticketing system is working and it also gives the army of olympic volunteers a chance to hone their skills and then in

a couple of weeks time it will all start again again up in the mountains for a world cup stage at the sliding center in bob slayton scale is simple some of the athletes for that event have already started to turn up to train and the ones we spoke to say they've been pretty impressed by what they found. i like the ice is getting better by the day and it will get even faster i think the track was designed in exactly the right way. but it's still approaching what on thursday all eyes will be back down here at the olympic park because the one year to go can down will be gain and that will be marked with a spectacular skating show in the bolshoi i stand behind me around three hundred people will take part in that the i.o.c. president jacques rogge will be in attendance and it will all be capped off with a magnificent firework display tonight at the saatchi sky exactly a year before the olympics begin andrew farmer. such as.
