in a season of contrasts for the two teams. but first to a big night of boxing here in moscow where bloody mia klitschko beat russian alexander pivot can by a unanimous decision to retain his undisputed world heavyweight crown record not on young reports. as an exam to come yet no. i see. still the champ down still a gentle man. named he's sixty first professional win the state double the heavyweight division and retain five of the sport's major belts russian contender xander bullock given suffered his first ever defeat but despite poor knock downs was keen to stand his feet on a slow us thing about finishing up the fight around some great round and i could feel i could feel that. made calling connection and impact of the punches got

affected by it and got affected by the impact of the punches and but surprisingly there are still on his feet and not just on his feet heels he was moving forward to the punch so he was really really tremendous heart and until the very last second of the fight he was trying to to make this final one lucky function nothing else unfortunately little was really all the russian had to go for films of heart and he's indomitable fighting spirit push pull that can forward towards the bigger man logically was smarter more accurate blending one big shot after another and exhausting the white lion into clean every time preventing got inside. i could see that at times klitschko felt uncomfortable he didn't expect the victim to put that amount of pressure on him there are some positive things for alexander he could improve on and capitalise on in

a possible rematch limited didn't look invincible at all with such a proposal would usually put can showed more than we expected in terms of conditioning personal added mayer is probably one of the world's biggest punters that can manage to take it all and stay on his feet he lost the fight but he won millions of hearts around the globe fans loved. and i think vladimir and alexander may face each other again some time in the future where the point is rematch never happens but that it will desperately need to back up his spirit with a much better game plan the russian stunned the world with his heart although the ultimate goal of becoming the world's best to wait takes a challenge or you can stand the chance down with a punch never mind the marquee moscow. now after years of planning the longest torch relay in the history of the winter olympics finally got on the way on sunday following a lavish ceremony in red square and the top of. it

week after being limited to only near the birthplace of the ancient games alan declaim ended its greegor to seen evidence of where it was handed over to the host of the twenty fourteen winter games talking russian then to travel by plane to moscow and then on motorbikes to red square where president vladimir putin lived for storage i wish a successful journey to the flag see you in shock she thought you fell into claim has finally come to moscow and the longest torch relay in the history of the winter games kicked off on red square as the flame is set to arrive in such a on february the seventh after a one hundred twenty three day trip across the country during those four months the torch will pass through all wood two thousand nine hundred in all eighty three of russia's regions on a route of what was sixty five thousand kilometers however the most notable places the flame will visit include the north ball with the torch traveling there on

a nuclear powered ice breaker then it will be taken to the depths of flake by calling siberia a sand europe's highest big mound old bruce before being taken on a space walk at the international space station the mastic door surely this is a unique opportunity to unite the nation and a great way to explore russians themselves and because that torch will come with the flame to every single c.d.'s and for that moment this particular city will be the capital of the olympic games this such organizing committee have planned the route so that ninety percent of russians for over one hundred thirty million people will be no more than one hour from there really giving every member of the world's biggest country the chance to take part in their maiden games in the feel good factor of sochi twenty fourteen constant in

our team. and five time olympic champion anastasio develop was the first person to carry the flame on russian soil but before that the former synchronized swimmer also helped unveil some new merchandise as the flagship store in red square launched there such a gloves. the white gloves have fingers the same colors as the five olympic rings and on the palms also one of the eighty five flags for each participating country so fans can wave on that and. well meanwhile staci organizing committee achieved to me to jenna shankar presented the official motorcade that will carry the athletes and torch bearers more than twenty thousand kilometers across the country as the flame travels on planes trains and automobiles and with dogs reindeer skiis and skaters before arriving in sochi to kick start the twenty second winter olympics. and the organizers also promise security

measures one down from the festivities for either the locals all visitors to the black sea resort next february checkpoints will be in place at the main venues and major transport hubs but all that's needed to gain access is to produce your ticket and spectators pass bases which will be available on line. city life outside the security zones won't change at all the only thing you'll notice is more police patrolling the streets to help maintain order security zones are common practice during big international events including the olympics and as a rule they don't cause any inconvenience whatsoever. now let's move on to football where there was some turkish delight for former manchester city manager roberto mancini the forty eight year old guided his new side gala tasa right away to all draw at home to you ventas as the istanbul team sealed their first point in champions league group b. mancini was unveiled last monday after the italian signed

a three year deal to take over from factory terry who is now coach of turkey. while chelsea manager josie marino lost his temper and walked out of a pretty much press conference off the journalist once again questioned his squad selection the portuguese coach had left out belgium when it having the growing up for the trip to south bucharest but to remember is struck twice to help the blues triumph or nil on record their first points in groupie. but you have this tendency you only ask about the good of the not so good to see the world. well meanwhile majesty united midfielder ryan giggs overtook rao's record of champions league appearances by choking up game number one hundred forty five at ukrainian signed shut down to nets united have to settle for a point after danny welbeck first opener was counseled by vyacheslav shift looks like leveler to leave both sides joint top of group a and manager david moyes was

once again backed by his legendary predecessor as sir alex ferguson spoke for the first time since retiring once a year we've united i was never going to think of me that although i don't decision i was just a bit we're going forward i'm not interested in manager and i'm not interested and get myself worked over be nature's results not in good times david moyes will do a good job. now moving on to the europa league where english hi fi is top know when top of group k. with a two you know when it's struggling andre and michael craft looks at the contrasting fortunes of the two sides who found very different starts to their campaigns. after finishing last season the best ever third in the russian top flight and claiming a second successive spot in the europa league. wasn't caused to feeling owner silliman can remember dream of becoming a powerhouse in european football then the billionaire had financial problems slash

the budget and the plummeted right now our focus is on the russian primarily of course we will continue to play in europa league to the best we can we will use the first team and won't be blink with just a reserve team but if a situation arises where we'd have to choose we will choose the premier league twelve top players such as samuel alito was sold and after eleven league games there were winless and bottom harsh reality had really hit the dagestani club hard with remaining players finding it difficult to placate their fans and themselves we really did have a star studded team but then they left and the level of stardom within the team obviously dropped but the current squad is a group of fighters and i don't think we've become a much weaker team i've been here for three years and have another year left on my contract and i want to stay and help angie until the end. if life's rough at the bottom in russia it's terrific at the top in england spurs travel to a chilly moscow third in the premier league after four wins one draw on

a narrow defeat to ask as well as a three zero romp over tromso in europe but despite the stark contrast between the two teams manage andre villa wasn't taking anything for granted the changes are so radicals and so dramatic that you find it hard to recognize the team and a project that they set out to do in the beginning. at the moment you know it looks apparent that. the league has become their priority for salvation. i mean just started the competition anyway. they've got one point of their game against sheriff so it's going to be. expect a difficult game difficult. unlike gonzi spurs don't seem to be missing style when gareth bale after selling him to real madrid for a world record one hundred thirty five million dollars seven new players are now just playing for places but i would have also changed dramatically from one year to another because of the. the amount of trance of business that we did just that we

lost one player that last season was decisive and was was involved in solving the games for us through great individual moments this is and we are a bit different it is it has given the opportunity to other people to step up their game so we look much more collective then and into season before so at the moment we are also in a phase of change will see. one player hoping to impress me. who scored a seventh goal in europe after thirty four minutes while new boyd massa chadli swiftly out of the decisive second one on g.'s remaining big stars ivorian strike. from injury to add some second class to his side but tottenham hung on for a comfortable two no victory to go top of the group while angie can now refocus on premier league survival of genco. and that brings us to the end of part one but
