in some petersburg after a slow start at the just the stadium the home side came out for the second half with all guns blazing is silly but as it's breaking the deadlock soon after the restart. alex on back a korean doubles their lead just a couple of minutes later the twenty two year old posting his third goal into matches. then with sixty minutes to go handball so russia awarded a penalty but i'm sure i'll copy hits the woodwork that's denise shook off still got the job done well a last gasp headed by at and the harvey proved just a consolation for israel as russia rolled out three one winners. that result puts russia top of group at one point clear of cristiana are now those portugal with too much has to go with russia travelling to mina's luxembourg and azerbaijan next month while swear the netherlands qualified for the world cup finals as winners of group d. with a two no win in under four minutes after the break following a quiet first half robin van persie

a pinpoint strike in off the far post. and four minutes later the striker made it to nil taking his own tally in qualifying to eight goals and do it remain bottom and yes to the point. one england remain one point clear at the top of group h. and following a goalless draw with second place ukraine in kiev has striker romance isn't it kind of penalty in the first minute it was a corner it was awarded then two minutes later and repeat off denied theo walcott's nil nil it finished in just a top but just three points separates the top four. all fronts kept up the pressure on group i lead to spain after twice coming back to beat rock bottom better is four two in goal though half an hour in yeah go for the bank up at the host one nil up but two minutes after the break france were level with front rebury turned and converted a penalty ten minutes later to a fake. five bellerose back in front the front again quickly equalized rebury

finishing off at the far post to two there were twenty minutes to go somewhere now three blocks to the french in front for the first time and paul paul back a swift fourth to wrap up a fourteen victory. while the group c. leaders germany travel to the faroe islands knowing victory would put them one win away from the finals and met a second scored from a corner read a way through the first half of the homes then go held back their visitors until the seventy third minute when thomas merely gained a dubious penalty after no apparent contact athlete i guess and he was shown a straight red and austin viewpoint mesut ozil finished on the spot then added a late third to make it three nil germany stay five points clear the pharaoh's bottom and we come to a point. and argentina did qualify for the world cup following a five two win over power in

a cincy on the you know messi opened after twelve minutes with his first of two penalties the host levelled five minutes later threw out the alone yes but half an hour in turkey zero zero where i was scored the goal of the game to put the visitors back in front hundred five minutes after the interval and held the media made it three one messi then earned and converted argentina's full though with q some to cruise with a goal back to the home side. but substitute not see it every gets sorted in a fifth in the ninetieth minute and five two it's finished. i. know meanwhile russia's under twenty one's also claimed straight wins to go top of korea too and stay on course for the twenty fifteen european championships in the czech republic because of time but app for points. russia had made a winning start to the european competing in march triumphing three kneeling on dora and come september and you go eyepiece or steam and to follow up that victory

with a successful double header on home turf at the hume karina first up was slovenia and the need heavy rain that soaked that beach russia dominated possession in the goal was first half but it was the visitors who took the lead up to fifty six minutes through their skipper newcastle united midfielder. but the russian bounce back within three minutes as constantin was a look made a dream deb you first had dived low to head his side level and four minutes from time the twenty year old was unmarked in the books and grabbed the winner while the visitors were reduced to ten men with a minute to go. i didn't wish them from my point of view i mean from between the sticks it seemed like we had that they shrugged the game and should have scored in the first health but the quality of the pitch affected our game immensely. that victory put russia second in group two airborne behind bulgaria whom the hosts faced in their second match and the home side were handed an advantage after eighteen minutes when i. was sent off for folding just inside the area and watch

him and all will have kept his cool to open from the sport however to man bulgaria levelled deep into for us half stoppage time thanks to alexander the call of the russians came out fired up in the second half and regained the lead within three minutes gap to normal hope netting his third of the complaint and just after an hour visit luke made sure of the points three one also scoring his third to ensure russia went top of their qualifying group. there's a long way to go we've played only three games i think defeat of where we're finished top will be decided in the last two fixtures we can sit in the last second of the first heard of so we were a bit nervous about that but we knew there was forty five minutes to go and had it all in our hands. russia kept their one hundred percent were occurred as they is to we want to win against them and they think you to go top of group two and now will

travel to do so with a fifteen for their next encounter on sunday by the r.t.e. moscow. now at a sporting writing measure g.p. champion jorge lorenzo i won his second straight race at the sun marino grand prix to narrow the gap to standings leader mark market then so started second on the grid but yamaha ride over took market at the first corner and never looked back held a honda teammate dani pedrosa to finish as runner up the trio made it a spanish one two three for the fourth time in a row as local legend valentino rossi came forth their hands and protests at trial markets by thirty four points with five races next to go. while the former f one champion kimi reichen is set to rejoin the. he won the title with in two thousand and seven as a thirty three year old lotus driver has agreed a two year deal with ferrari the flying finn will partner twice champion fernando alonso with philippe moussa set to leave at the end of the season. now russia

is set to host its first ever for me the next jim and richard vanpool fee caught up with exxon across a chunk of one of the leading women in russian f one who's predicting a bright future for the sport in the country. much sport in russia has had a checkered history two grown prisons in petersburg before the first world war were followed by almost a century of inactivity and drive of a tiny patrol of a merged as well as tracks of a moscow raceway and so on she for the country will host its first ever formula one race next year but patrols former agents because such things more needs to be done from the top when you have the governmental support you can develop for the country in the school much faster there are lots of examples worldwide so where india would join formula one three years ago and they already have more than a hundred tries this created to try not formula one but international of course and international events in russia unfortunately the government doesn't concede the war

to support as a very important priority sport but some women still know and they believe it will come and we really hope that sochi ground will help us and we will foster russian motorsport received a high profile boost with the troughs on the deal to drive revenue in two thousand and ten the twenty nine year old later moved to cape to rim and so far managed only one podium finish in fifty eight races because of who went on to become cajuns commercial director but he's a russian's rival boost his country's interest in the sport i think that it's not his entrance to form that one was one of the toughest question from we will be the second source and the young drivers one tree on the line now is to give zero three and daniel yes they were they will bring their investment in the development of the interest of the most recent in all countries russia could have another native driver by the time the such a grand prix gets underway in october two thousand and fourteen eighteen year old surrogates are old consigned to salvage this year initially as

a test driver but there are plans to put the muscovites behind the wheel next season this would further help promote the sport's image in russia but has little sponsorship and as yet it's a fledgling interest among the public such people they just don't know how to use news for the purpose. listen to what i believe since two thousand and ten when the train into the formula one management and russia was signed we're living in a transition period we have to see with our own eyes in the form i want can't sleep or out to the country that will work for me i want to thank you to face this for me one can give to the media and us to take this risk they're important for us so we are expecting. in the interest of formula one in a more just world generally will increase of the first five weeks such. this is a boom time for russian sports after hosting the first ever world after a six championships in the summer the country's nonsense to host the winter olympics and expand beery as well as before the world cup in two farms nineteen

formula one is the term and not to be left behind and we're trying to create its own legacy of one hundred year wait richard i'm told me donte. and history was also made on the streets of the capital this weekend as thousands of runners fall through the rain to take part in the first official moscow marathon and michael was the. the first ever marathon held in moscow took place in one thousand nine hundred one on the back of russia's first ever summer olympic games the capital seized on the newfound enthusiasm for sport to create the international moscow marathon for peace and the forty two kilometer insurance events was held annually until last year when the organizers decided to reinvent it. this is the first marathon of this guy and here in moscow which is based on major marathons like the ones in london or paris the capital recently successfully hosted the world athletics championships and now it's staging this fantastic new marathon moscow has

over two point eight million athletes that's a huge army of people and we're very proud of it. over ten thousand runners took part in the revamped marathon on a new track that snaked through the heart of moscow via iconic buildings such as the kremlin the walls of red square and christ the savior cathedral. finally ending where it all began in the historic luzhniki stadium. and it's been great it was my first marriage form and i am pleased with my result and the way the whole event has been run despite the rainy conditions like something with the chop of ukraine clock just over two hours and nineteen minutes to win the men's race while the first winner of the women's inaugural event was even a small nick of kazakhstan in two hours and forty five minutes. old denies us have done a great job really and the new track is fantastic i mean it's in the center of moscow

for someone like me visiting the capital is quite unbelievable only streets were blocked off for us i can imagine how difficult it must have been to organize this what with moscow's and terrorist traffic but really it's an amazing feat russia's sporting authorities are keen to see the moscow marathon achieve international recognition as well as now turning their attention to hosting future global tournament's. and one of the revamp of moscow's annual marvel has been a resoundingly success because of the last ban on may just forty events is being held absolutely the stadium with russia's largest sporting venue set for state of the heart revamped ahead of russia's first ever world cup in twenty years a lot of projects go party. and that's if about one but don't go away as part two certainly packs a punch stacey. on their way to antarctica the crew of the i could face many challenges.

heavy weight division and even in the age of thirty eight was kinda wingate boxing's most prestigious title for two thousand and thirteen gay one grand prix nevertheless krakow has lost three of his last four m.m.a. belts. for me i'd say i'm very close to being in my best shape right now of course when we met for the first time i was nine years younger then since i left pride i've had seven operations it was tough to recover well get back to training and regain my form but i did it this sport is my life i still train seven days a week and i believe i can still fight and beat most of those in the business while you me and grace six years younger with six wins from his last seven match ups and claims he is yet to reach his pinnacle in the sport. when i lost america i knew why it happened. to gain more experience and get myself prepared for

fights against the m.m.a. delete it will be different this time around and i'm very grateful for the opportunity the legend tournament promoters have given us. the rematch is scheduled for november the eighth when the legend tournament will hit the russian capital for the second time with this two topping the bill and whatever the outcome it's a safe bet many friends will be thinking of another great rematch against the other you maybe enka which looks like a dream that's unlikely to ever come true. of a national national with few other is why be considered to be an all time great and our fight has been recognized as one of the greatest m.m.a. battles in the history of the sport so he's retired but if by any chance he's back i'd love to have a rematch against him. robert byrd an r.t. . now moving on to gulf where american jim furyk equalled a p.g.a.

tour record by carving a super second round of fifty nine at the b.m.w. championship in illinois the forty three year old started the day on the back nine and batted for his opening five holes before shooting an eagle on the fifteenth a crack of a shot hundred fifteen yards oh he's only blip came on the fifth hole which he required good but he also carded eleven birdies overall to become only the sixth man to break sixty with a twelve under par round of fifty nine and he's the only golfer to do it with his four current. staying with golf as england simon brown won the russian senior open by two strokes at a rainy moscow country club that's a shame but apple has more. twenty thirteen has become a significant year for gulf infuses in russia the european tour returned to the country after a five year absence along with the senior tour which was hosted at the moscow country club russia's the first eighteen hole golf course ian woosnam who captained

europe to right a cup glory in two thousand and six won the first russian stage five years ago and was glad to be back it's a big part of you know how it so on out it would love to cable russia have a great tournament and looked after us very well there's plenty of parties and you know just saying as you know it sometimes we like to party a little bit and only want to go to bed early as well however unlike the welshman woosnam nor the legendary colin montgomerie were among the standout the former's with almost constant rain throughout the final round simon brown who went into the laws they leading by a single shot kept his nerves surviving in double bogey on the fourteenth to bounce back with two birdies and finished the last hole in style almost holding these fantastic approach and sealed his maiden win with the easiest of tapping and two shots ahead of my car with and paul mason fifty year old grown only received he scored polluter in january and was happy to claim victory in moscow this is

a really great golf course but a great week this week. i came on i did it for seventeen years ago and finished well so proud of the good times despite heavy rain overnight leader brown was in total control in the final day getting a round of seventy to win by two strokes and to become russia's first european senior to a winner in five years on same by the r.t.e. moscow region. that has turned to winter sports and in the kontinental hockey league champions damo must maintain their early lead to the tune of a chair that she has just outside the capital check defender philip novak less than three minutes in with a powerful wrist shot from the blueline no bitch has appeared to have equalized in the second period to get home crowd on their feet replay showed the puck didn't cross the line and sealed the deal for dinner early in the third as the garden cup holders extended that perfect start to the season after winning all five matches

and their first on the road. fatherly a spot at moscow came from behind to beat cross city rivals tesco three two one home ice alexander i do not open for the visit does midway through the first period but goals in the second i just laugh because love and vocal of that spot tack in the driver's seat before american defenseman their own queens fight a crack out from the blue line to put the hosts into a comfortable three one late with thirteen minutes to go i like somebody can pull them back that says in the dying minutes but it was too little too late spotlight claiming the capital's bragging rights. now is less than five months to go before russia's maiden winter olympics in sochi ice hockey superstar alexander ovechkin says it's a huge honor for him to carry the torch in greece later this month even though the washington capitals forward is busy preparing for the new n.h.l. season and see your wife for a per. curiam torture you know. represented by so far this year

there was. yet before you were going to do the same move forward where in addition to that you know i just have to work. plays i have to work with the. russian federation to figure out how i can go and do it that you know i was going to work there was no reward to do it. well ovechkin was named as one of the torchbearers facade as the organizers also revealed the plane will travel to russia's extreme peaks on what they say is the longest relay ever europe's highest mountain l. bruce at the bottom of lake baikal and even the north pole will all named on the route so she organizing committee president dmitri trenin handed over the torch is to some of the future berets. while newly elected international olympic committee president thomas back says those such games are his top priority after the fifty nine year old german won the ballots in argentina to form a fence that is the ninth i.o.c. boss and also the first olympic champion to head the organization. and i'm sure

when i go to those on next to it used to be. there when president is going over to me the files of. the top five will be will be sold she and i will be very happy. to work there for and we thought she you know to make it a great success and finally with the winter sports season about to get underway the russian snowboarding team are making their final preparations and hoping that american born star vic wild can help lead his adopted country to gold in such a. snowboarding has only been a moment the discipline since then the government games in one thousand nine hundred eight russia's first medal came twelve years later in vancouver where you can a took silver in the women's parallel giant slalom and this helped kick start a new wave of snowboarders across the country not least attracting american star

vic wilde i didn't have any good start david had states that i wasn't going to reach the goals that i wanted and thus it was an opportunity to get the balls. to be able to do what i wanted to do with my seven year old had originally competed for his native country but applied for russian citizenship in twenty eleven after marrying snowboard world champion young as a first in the world then claimed bronze for his adopted country at this year's world championships in quebec and says he's now used to representing russia so it's been like this for a while now so it's not too too new for me. if you're good you know we had a great off season now it's starting to get in the winter dancer. it's nice to be back on cell. meanwhile that arsenal will be targeting olympic gold in sochi and the twenty four year old says she'll be trying to avoid any distractions in the build up something a husband has been teaching or to me she brought

a new attitude because he is the way he is way more aggressive than i am he made me a little more aggressive more like a more more of a boss if you're if you will and. he made me engage in whatever i'm doing and do it one hundred percent. pulling russia's initial success in cuba wilds groans in the parallel giant slalom at the twenty thirty will championships was topped by cutting up the big issue of who took gold in the parallel flower all of which bodes well for russia's medal chances at the olympics but while it says plenty still needs to be done overall the results probiotics good as they should be in that opinion or even more obvious want to win more world cups one you know to win the overall stuff like that so that as a survey we have a lot of work to do to get this point wilde's caution the country snowboarding authorities think the results have been coming at just the right time but if you're sort of modern sportsmen aspirating our athletes are progressing well with the

addition of dick wilde there is now real competition amongst the men and this is really important last year i hoped he'd be more successful for the team rather than pushing him for individual glory like you could see in lots of the guests of a has done recently but they all know just how important sochi is by now so we'll see. that with a team including two world champions one american star and the support of the nation behind them russia's backing their snowboarders from maiden glory come february the seventh month with trying to r.t. moscow region. and that's it from sport i found. thank you i have been negotiating in being a participant in the w. cio since one thousand nine hundred seven and over all these years i have never seen a moment a moment to motor year a moment when three pensions were not there. i

know c.n.n. the m s n b c news have taken some not slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's close and for the truth and might think. it's because when full attention and the mainstream media works side by side with actually i'm here. i'm. at our teen years we have a different brain. because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not god. if. he doesn't do the jokes i will handle them.
