but first to the rugby sevens world cup here in moscow and in the last big tournament before the sport's a limpet debut russia's men beat japan to win the ball event with overall victory for both men and women going to new zealand after the russian girls lost in the quarterfinals as richard and port reports. hopes were high for the russians as they hosted the rugby sevens world championships however those dreams were extinguished on saturday as russia's men would finish bottom of a group with two defeats and a draw but didn't have a great post asia obviously everybody so everyone saw and here we were we felt it ourselves you know where we're the best critics to ourselves and we knew we had to put things right and we knew we had to focus and you know it probably a little bit too late but still you know as i said you get everything to play for and. have a home crowd something to cheer for however the beauty of rugby sevens told them and it's about those teams have been knocked out early still have something to play

for russia went into the bowl tournament for both sides with the worst records and they immediately redeem themselves with a seventeen point seven victory against spain the bears were playing with a lot of confidence but like the denise implicated church and victor grisette of making a particular impacts and they were brushed iroquois aside in the semifinals for today to nail to give themselves a shot of winning some silverware on their home turf well what a difference a day makes whole the russians want something they couldn't buy a win but today on sunday even managed to get themselves all the way to the final what was taking a turn for the worse so we just have to wait and see how much of an impact but does the russians if the heavens really did open and play had to be suspended for a random hour due to heavy rain and the french of lightning striking the pitch i miss certainly didn't make life any easier for the players. there was an amazing amount of rain and they did affect the quality of the game both teams made

a lot of mistakes and kept losing the ball because it was so slippery out there. waiting for russia to find over japan the two teams met in the group stages playing out a twelve twelve draw or however it was the russians were adapted to be awful conditions for better and they would run in five tries. scrumhalf alexander young getting a brace as a twenty nine points to find victory it's amazing to see where to get some silverware insisted it's hardly a home crowd and for the diehard fans who came here all three days are supporting us retaining the keeping the faith in us throughout the you know our our our pull stays that we didn't he know we weren't getting the results but we knew we had something with something special to show to them hopefully we've done enough on day three just to redeem ourselves like you know just express ourselves and we will look you know we will loosen up a little bit and they don't always show that there was a lot of the play where we would score tries and you know we're getting there have our fans cheer course so plenty of fans to cheer about and to me ends with russia

victorious the ball may be the weakest of a free prize on offer move unless it is definitely a positive stamp of a development of sevens rugby in the country. boldly dancey. on to tennis now and maria sharapova and roger federer were just two of a host of shock exits in an eventful first week of wimbledon but day one produced one of the biggest upsets in the tournament history as french open champion rafael adult lost in straight sets to unheralded belgian steve d'arcy the world number one hundred thirty five stunning the fifth seed in the first round for the first time in thirty five grand slams and earlier puerto rican teenager monica who triumphed six three six two over sorry ronnie breaking the italian fifth seed four times one day to the next time profile casualty was ten seed maria kirilenko who went back to six three six four to british teenagers who were robson when as they went down in history as defending champion would have federer's run of which in the thirty six

a number of players like spartak striker you're a mob city on have hardly had a break as they played for their countries at the start of june yet the armenian excepts is just part of being a professional. yeah you know but that's our job you know that's what we play. we play for a country play for a club team we've had a few days off but you know what. it's not only us it's everybody else in the world you know. every team in england you know you see they don't get a break so it's something we are used to it spot at moscow get in on a key it is always a match for gets the emotions running high amongst the fans all these which are the best supported and also turn most successful clubs join a solid championship however they haven't enjoyed that same success over the last three years this season the pressure will be on sponsoring to try and win a first premier league title since two thousand and one while opponents to naama kiev haven't won their domestic championship since two thousand and nine was

shocked or don't you know it's emerging as a major power house in ukraine there's been talk of trying to create a c.i.s. league which would include the top sides from russia ukraine and bella ruse however this idea has had mixed reactions for months for players. in simple that's a good idea but what will the rest of the teams do who can give a guarantee that a c.i.s. league would last the test of time and will be viable for the next twenty or thirty years in the money of course will be great but i just can't see this working you know these are the games you want to play every game these are the games you want to play. every week and these are change you really want to go and check yourself against so definitely wish we would play in every game every week but definitely you know it's good to measure yourself and you know play against these guys the match itself has played out in temperature. of over thirty degrees so the pace was understandably slow and definitely had a pre-season friendly feel to weights but it was denominate here who eventually

year old on the sea assuption as a strong favorite and a much more degraded veteran two time european champion and olympic medalist sid love affair for an hour. both made their debbie advance it was something who won and proved that she could handle the pressure on home soil. pressure and responsibility are always there it is very important to control it and thrive in it then it can only help bring out your best back to track. where ukraine's ham the to do math defeated russia's european gem ban you because you know that we were in the women's four hundred metres hurdles with another russian hurdler and this this year ought. to stick out because as i first competed here in two thousand and nine the field was very strong been with the world record holder you can in the spotlight but i

won that final and i'm still very proud of it so when they invited me to compete here again i did not hesitate to return. r t moscow region. that time for a quick break but more important so don't go away. south carolina is playing around with the idea of using shame plates which are license plates that can display special messages the department of motor vehicles would have complete access to all these plates and be able to display text on them like suspended uninsured amber alert or stolen you know i actually don't mind the idea of using shame as a punishment i guess it could be a real deterrent to have drunken loser written over the license plate of someone who drinks and drives in fact drugged driving plates have been in place in some

states for a while but the problem is that more often than not shame penalties aren't the punishment for a crime but just a bonus one in my native ohio you can go to jail for three to thirty days and have your license suspended for one to three years for driving which is a brutal punishment in a country where everyone drives to work you see people are already punished for drunk driving and in america when you pay your debt to society i.e. you get out of jail you're supposed to have a clean slate but the bonus license plate suspension and possible punishment plates make this a triple sentence ignoring the fact that the government will be able to practically display words on your person like a brand on cattle is bad enough but multiple punishments for the same crime seems like a bit of a she thing than me but that's just my opinion. welcome

back to part two of the sports show and let's raise you with golf as austrian you hunnish bob has won the russian item by two strikes while seventeen year old pavel good enough has become the country's new national champion as michael catching the

reports. the weather couldn't have been better over the four day russian golf championship come russian open tournament something that's blessed this event over the years leaders from the previous days pavel grain of and. both on one under par had enjoyed the sunny weather throughout the tournament but were greeted with gusts of wind on the final day which could have potentially derailed their title aspirations. another factor that up the stakes was the seventy one paw golf course located twenty two kilometers outside of moscow which was holding the championship for only the second time many golfers agree that the khalilzad designed eighteen holes is very difficult especially the last one behind me but taking into account well so the windy weather you have yourself a very challenging golf course and although many did struggle with the added elements on day four including got out enough who only managed to register five of the park but with his nearest rival posting a seven over par it meant the youngster had won his first ever major tournament

isn't that i'm so stoked to have won i was so nervous going into the final day as i was tight on the score sheet and i foolishly allowed some silly mistakes into my game but in the end i prevailed and i'm happy what is the first major win for me meanwhile in the russian open tool to help for the first time since these three with the russian championship it was austrian harness swap he clinched glory posting an overall two over par to tournaments here in moscow was great at a lot of fun the participants were really friendly to me. i enjoyed the rounds really a lot because my flight but those were always nice to me and it was awesome and in the women's competitions you know pig of a outperformed even the men school cards registering at three on the paul role and taking both russian championship and russian open titles i don't know that was that i really enjoyed playing in this tournament where the course was a neck you're actually pretty bad so thanks to the club for that matter of rounds

we could hear sounder in the distance as we approached the eighteenth hole thank god it didn't ring out of the thing and then on that final day which we did was going crazy let's go but yeah i'm really happy with the win the symbolism as you did about the heavens did eventually rain on the parade but it couldn't dampen the high spirits in the clubhouse bring to a close a successful twenty second russian golf championship mug of genco party most urgent . now that's what from shop. deeds to speedy words a sprinting mark cavendish says former champion cadet evans could win his second tour de france title in three is well last year is running out chris froome and controversial former winner alberto contador were touted as the pre-race favorites while nearly crime british champion cavendish failed to secure the lead as yellow jersey for the first time after crash east coast chaos of the flock opening stage in corsica. pretty stunning we're probably three maybe she's a few more than makes up she could alistair he's won in the past and some young

guys are our army is kind of our revenues were in the general conservation area to step forward stages. while there was a mixed reaction to brazil's st mihiel victory over world champions spain in the confederations cup final as anti-government protesters clashed with police at side the modoc on a stadium in rio while pham celebrated brazil's third straight trying. because who knows what the best game i ever see in my life more than we hope for we couldn't i mean it would be a terrified but he didn't see much of a fight at all which there should be cheering for. and russian organizers have promised to make the twenty eighteen world cup as accessible as possible for founds national coach fabio capello was among those watching the country's presentation at the legendary maritime stadium in rio. and among the what is necessary we gave some some additional guarantees which was also made part of the law which is free travel music free entry. and control over hotel prices.

ball and forward anthony bennett has become the first ever canadian to be the number one pick in the n.b.a. draft the twenty year old joins last season's third worst team the cleveland cavaliers who also selected unwilling to change the overall pick shooting guard said it had a self the nineteen year old help russia take the bronze medal at last summer's london olympics and wants more of his companions to play in north america. which it is you sit with them and i think this year's draft will play a huge role in basketball of development in russia as we've got plenty of good young players in our country you know watch this draft and see by the example of me being here that anyone can have this chance. now let's turn to something extreme because american high wire artist nik wallenda has become the first man to walk a tightrope by the grand canyon without a safety net while russia has its own death defying as valarie result set

a new world record for a base jump after launching himself off mount everest it wasn't him but top of has this spectacular report. only the twenty nine thousand nine hundred fifty three mountaineer a serial edmund hillary and tenzing norgay became the first confirmed climbers to reach the summit of mount everest and almost sixty years to the day russian their their will by larry it was a so abraded then reverser in style and made more history by flying off the north face to set the world's highest base jump but the descent was to take a matter of seconds the planning for the record breaking attempt had been long in the making. preparation process projects have started two years ago right after my return from a location check on everest then i made a new suit was almost flat start then the beginning then i did a few tests. thinking quite positive about. my job from. forty nine year old was a is

a veteran mountaineer and skydiver awful with ten thousand germs and combined his passions to invent base climbing where participants ascend it big and jump in the flying sit with everest the russian first had to reach a sport he aimed to leave then he and his crew spent three weeks equipment ising in the himalayas before beginning their sound on the chinese side up the north route it took him four days to climb from base camp to the jump point in temperatures of around minus eighteen degrees celsius and his band fly by hours waiting for the wind to drop before making his a big jump. then after all that he flew for just under a minute it's beads of around two hundred kilometers per hour. right behind me you can see the highest mountain as a world i just haven't learned it. runs of what i'm off of everest i was a little bit there was there and. there's a couple of kids if you get in was

a shot they said to us. but there is that it works. up to going to bring the world's highest mountain and setting your world base john brecher out of seven thousand two hundred and twenty meters history dictates that was a bad round john q. is unlikely to take a break and we'll see more thrilled in another job dropping stuff on sunday by the hearty. well let's turn to a different type of dead evel professional style such as tiny hole has helped the image of skateboarding move away from a rebellious been holby to a diverse extreme sport and look after i got on board with a group of young russians who didn't race the thrill of street surfing. moscow not exactly the first city you'd associate with the extreme sport phenomenon that is skateboarding however with the iron curtain down for over twenty years now many new

sports and activities that are already firmly on the map elsewhere are tweaking the interest of thousands of young russians across the country not least skateboarding . when i first saw a skate board i had to have one so i asked my mom to buy me a cheap chinese board then i began skateboarding at school i really enjoy it and i think anyone can do it you just have to chill and how phony. ten year old glitz passion for skateboarding is a good indicator of how far the sport has come in russia so much so that the city authorities are no longer fighting against it on the streets but actively promoting it and giving skateboarders prime spots like the skate park in moscow's corkey park just because we have every year there are new riders and with them the level continues to get a better kids who are jumping off the pavements are now taking on half pipes and grinding poles which is awesome and having a skate park in gorky park is just massacres it's my favorite place the murders of sponsorships for russian state is another major step for the movement and although

there are some who frown on just how commercial the sport has become it has helped to make it more accepted and attracting is from around the world to russia for various events is only benefiting the local skate scene to get a big. cut. like the rest of europe is kind of like. if it. is good but just get anything it's just sometimes it's rough sometimes. that list but i thought like barcelona. get used to rough spots duggie is just a bit like. that it's like that by the way like i said you know moscow is definitely still a new ground for skateboarding in general but it's on the rise and i want. a park like this in the center of moscow if you could differ would be sure that the state movement is definitely going the right direction to me aboard. and despite my

enthusiasm i think i'll have to put my sponsorship on hold for now. but richard go to moscow. well or stay with something pay save us which venue just not see as the russian national book slating tested the new track as part of their son my camp at the black sea olympic resort although the course isn't covered with ice during the summer national team leaders and loses big tick names and two thousand and six olympic silver medalist albert then change to think this type of dry run training helps keep the group in top form while they learn how to deal with the track there are seventeen different turns and three places where you need to slow down you have to say it's one of the best runs they have the big. and finally despite the searing heat here in the capital muscovites got a taste of what it feels like to prepare for the such a winter games

a sports fans shot biathlon rifles and worked out during a little bit day at gorky park just over six months to go before russia hosts their first ever winter olympics. and that's it from sports team life and. real damage and complexity of this oil spill was not something you can grasp just by looking at dirty birds we have between four to five million people in this directly affected area of the coast and it's pretty clear why it's not being reported because b.p. can't afford to have a reported all along the gulf coast are clean they are safe and they're open for business if b.p. is the single largest oil contributor to the pentagon the us war machine is heavily reliant upon b.p. and their oil this is a huge step backwards for the marker c.

it's a step forward oligarchy carex it is toxic is a look a lot like spraying in vietnam it was it was not a picture that either the government or b.p. really wanted to have out there i don't want dispersants to be the agent. this boils.

me it is easy to believe it's. easy. for you to. see. it all over my language at all but i will only react to situations i have read the reports of. pollution and know i will lead them to the state department to comment on your latter point the muslims say it is mr k.l.a. car is on the docket od no god. no radio no more weasel words

when you have a direct question be prepared for a change when you go to a gun show be ready for a battle print out a speech and down to freedom to crush. it all sometimes you see a story and it seems so please you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture. cut.

to. he wants to study the future is one of the issues he has to stop his work but he's undermining our american colleagues. president putin says edward snowden can stay in russia this limits speculation that the whistleblower has asked moscow for asylum. meanwhile the e.u. leaders demand an explanation from their american ally on the latest revelations by edward snowden as the u.s. remains tight lipped on the issue. and live pictures you're seeing there from egypt the country's military says that it could take matters into its own hands this if the government fails to address the people's demands within forty eight hours all this comes in the wake of massive countrywide demonstrations that have been calling for president mohamed morsi.
