in december i asked the premier league coaches to let their pledge join a national team two days earlier but deny my follow fee for rules decided to let their players go only two days before the game the law is on their side i thought they would make an exception for the sake of the national team however my attitude to the players stayed the same. this didn't seem to affect the climate inside the team while outside it was seventeen degrees as the team trained for really under the gaze of the sixty six year old italian capella came into this game unbeaten seeds games in charge of for russia and was a source of inspiration to debutante and angie midfielder i like shut off to get us done for the game and really glad to be here every training session and work on the ball which is good for the sake of power as a strict coach with but i haven't seen that so far they seem to be a bit more emotional than angie's coach who is hitting but he hides it capello aims to lead to russia to their first world cup final since two thousand and two and

welcome back to part two of the sports show let's now move on to motor sport and ahead of this season's german touring camos to series the agitation made their first trip to moscow and unveiled their new and improved a five car as russia prepares to host their first ever stage in the racing series but i chose reports. the d.t. all touring car series is a type of racing known as silhouette where the cars look like production models but to mechanically different and with the pressure from zero to sporting creasing in russia the sixth age of the tamer a series will now be held here in the capital for the first time on the fourth of august the d.t. and well into new territory contesting a stage of the twenty thirty season at the more scary story circuit their first

visit to russia in this thirty year history twenty four cause representing the three manufacturers audi must say these bans and b.m.w. will contest in the series and top drivers some with formula one experience are gearing up to test their skills at the new mosco raceway circuit i've never been to moscow and i've been to russia. i've seen a lot on t.v. and they also watched the race last year when did you do racing where driving on the most stories were and i think it's quite impressive for me to ever win like always you know when you go on a new truck it's obviously a challenge for the drivers to understand the track as i speak as possible but from what i saw actually from this truck i'm expecting you know yeah i'm expecting a nice challenge you get some nice corners so fast corners for scores for drivers it's always nice it's all really looking forward to it for the race here in this year's canada begins on may the fifth in germany with other rounds also in austria netherlands england as well as russia as the series are based mainly essentially

europe it's not yet widely known to the russian public so the moscow very school provides the heart octane series with a great opportunity to increase its fan base. well spectators in so had a sneak preview of one of the cause that will begin bracing the season as the audi team reviewed a new a four of their winter we have been a trying time for the set up for the car to make the driver quicker in the corner think return the straights and there is a lot of fine detail work in the suspension with their dynamic and that will serve some small modifications time to the engine so hopefully we'll get some extra horsepower and have some more grip in the cars so that leaking was generally quicker on their needs and every lap so with that the fourth day it's confirmed on the series can and friends enjoy it as

a lark can look ahead to an exciting high speed encounter that puts german touring cause on the russian map maker archos odyssey moscow. let's return to tennis and for the first time in two decades russia were not involved in the top tier of the davis cup but four russians were helping their adopted nation of kazakstan make it to the quarter finals and which is on pole fleet explains why. kazakhstan may not have a player ranked in the men's top one hundred fifty however the central asian nation without much of a tennis history is mixing it with the world's best this side is made up of four russians macau couche in under a goal a bit. and you've given me all of you all switch allegiance to kazakhstan and carlos says he has no regrets. as a forward my career goes on i think it is great. to be. part of the team to be. in the team so this is this is over and there is no bad

blood between the kazakh and russian tennis federations russia's davis cup and fed cup camps in sheffield had a piece of gave his blessing for the likes of goal a bit and cut you off to make the switch and former french open champion and us to see him we skin understands what a play is decided to play for very adopted nation that it happened a long time ago and at that time they had very little support in russia so money's a huge factor in tennis player needs to travel a coach and good facilities in which to train at that moment in russia there weren't that many good training bases available to the players though things have changed since to get the tennis center in austin eyes fantastic and caters for the players every needs and kind of says but it is extremely helpful to have such great supports but the facilities are great because they were that is how we were going to practice just as you because i would come and presently the talk we heard was

also this is a great start to the turnstiles well if you two or three of those happened and you know the facilities that were there were reports were that were. or is indoors you know it was the facilities were rooting for a good cause exxon success comes at a time when the men's game in russia is really struggling the verse time in two decades tough piece of sign dropped out of a world group and will face great britain. in april to try and make it back to play with tennis is elite however they will have one of the country's rising stars to call on i'm very close knit sort of who actually said he turned down an opportunity to play for kazakhstan a couple of years ago they offered me after i won wimbledon and i was like i don't know i became famous here. i decided to stay in russia. not because or not not only because of the money but because of. because i because i am russian. of course of course maybe the russia can't or can't compete.

in it. i mean they're helping as well because it stands men's tennis players have secured vast status amongst the sports lead for another year at least now it's up to russia to try and catch up then new neighbors and also make it back into the davis cup world group and with young talented players like because it's often you get it done schoolboy but it's certainly possible richard three dotty astronaut. now from notable deeds to memorable words as australian prime minister julia gillard was appalled by the damning report claiming illegal drug use is widespread in her proud sporting nation all sports fans including may fall on this pretty sickening paypal logo and you know i've sit at ground zero or watch sport on t.v. and marvel at amazing sporting prowess swayed cheer on the day and the saints that anything they've saying has actually been fuelled by banned substances i think

would be pretty sickening for sports fans it's pretty sickening for may well me wanna know manager aston venga has called for severe punishments for anyone involved in match fixing after the european police said they were looking into almost four hundred suspicious games including world cup qualifiers. but you could not accept that somebody who works for whole rig decides to spend his money to go to a game and you cheat him because of all these decide to before he gets to the stand i cannot stand up for that and i think but we cannot accept that. on a brighter night nigeria captain joseph yobo says he's blessed to have finally lifted the africa cup of nations on his final appearance at the tournament after the super eagles edged back in a fast one nil in johannesburg is my sixth. and i said it earlier that it was going to be my last not because i cannot play any more. i realize they have given it

a lot of time and almost praying to god before i came to this tournament the hopefully this will be my last and i'm going to win it and god gave me there so i'm very delighted. while russian tennis player elena vesnina says knowing each other well helps her team prevail in the deciding doubles rubber as russia would take in the distance in the fed cup quarter final victory over japan. when you're playing for your country ranking is doesn't matter and we were just trying to play our a game and. i mean thank god that everything worked out here that he relating to the because we're playing for it might go for a long time together and we have some special things sometimes and a key moment and i think we both played really good today the key moment in doubles and that helped to win this very important match. however well number one there that joke of it was happy to have a few weeks off as the serbian tennis star visited a school in his native belgrade to donate money to disabled children after retaining his australian open title last month. i'm trying to take the free time.

for official season without any sort of leads in this few weeks and to come here in serbia to visit my family and close close friends and of course be a part of the humanitarian work that is that is very important for me in my career so of course going back to business and finally with the now less than a year to go until the sochi olympics russians across the country can join in the countdown as a group of twenty fourteen cooks have been set up nationwide to herald in russia's first ever winter games michael kravchenko brings us this timely report the biggest news to come out of sorts of this week was undoubtedly the unveiling of the olympic countdown clock which was unveiled on the seventh of february exactly one year prior to the start of the winter olympics now i'm standing in front of the moscow edition of the clock one hundred nine that was unveiled across the country and it

will give people an up to date look on just how many days hours and minutes are left until russia host its first ever winter olympics. russia's already been counting down the days since it won the right to host the twenty fourteen games back in july of two thousand and seven but now all the planning feels more like reality and just around the corner. i believe every russian citizen will be the face of these olympics and there will be even more responsibility on the athletes they will be fighting not for their lives but to the death so to speak the feeling now is it's still very imminent and now we have this great clock which won't let anyone have time to rest every second counts. meanwhile any fears of disruption in the media have been allayed with the opening of a brand new press center which promises to use cutting edge technology while delivering the most comprehensive olympic coverage yet. this sortie games promises

to be one of the most technologically advanced ever and there will be we are using the latest high tech equipment for television the internet and so on and i think the journalist will have the best possible working conditions and while almost all the infrastructure looks to be on schedule city organizes as well as the russian government have already been looking beyond sochi twenty fourteen as they aim to bring a stage of the formula one season to the black sea resort. as of today everything is going according to plan although this project hasn't been without its problems it has been a colossal effort to try and coordinate the work while preparations for social still go in there are a lot of construction companies working together causing confusion however i can say that we're definitely heading towards the finish line. and not usually a man who's easy to police f one chief bernie ecclestone was also quoted as saying he was very happy with the progress made if all goes well the race will go ahead

next year one hundred one years since russia's last grand prix held back in one thousand thirteen the actual date remains undecided but the track will contain part . the olympic park access roads which means some of the infrastructure or regionally built for the games will fulfill the organizers hopes of continuing a sporting legacy in sochi mark of genco moscow. and that's all from the sports show i think.

my juggling job. i do hack work and get caught when lobbyists money and lawmakers are combined together that's where the problem of corruption comes from. i don't the document's. keep up a smart look. there is also. another world behind that which is how to influence the institutions to steer clear of provocations don't answer any question. came into the office and found banners hanging around the office and lots of strange faces around so i said what's what's happening will somebody please tell me what's going on and they said oh we've come to occupy your building. possibly they want to do

a confrontation possibly they wanted me to ring up the police have the police come and threw them out that. didn't seem to be a good idea to learn the european way with brussels business. in the uk risky it's one person one fault but in brussels business it's one euro one fault. it is trash. but it's also a treasure. that's worth fighting for. and a trap with no way out. to keep. wealthy british.
