take a look at the rest of the week's news from around the world of sport. french and u.s. open tennis champion rafael nadal has out a c.t. done that joke of it at the top of the world rankings even though the serbian won the beijing open final six three six four this was only new dolls' fourth defeat of the season which also includes a shock first round exit at wimbledon in june the spaniard still reclaims the number one spot for the first time in just over two years something he didn't dare to dream about to his lengthy mean join layoff. will be by the out of it although that's feasible that the head is just amazing for me as of that day i never thought that. i will with had the chance to be like that ever. and on the women's side top seed serena williams overcame back pain to secure her tense title of the season with a six two six two victory over the lady yankovic's serbia the american reeled off the last five games to prevail in an hour and a half it was serene as

a fifty six career grand placing her seventh on the all time list of most titles the thirty two year old also won this year's french and us open this. motorsport and sebastian vettel is on the verge of his fourth straight full with a one crowd after the german won the korean grand prix to clinch his fourth straight victory but force india's pulled arrested failed to finish yet again as more drivers struggled with the tires the red bull car of vettel teammate mark webber again caught fly just as it did previous race in singapore however vettel steered clear of any trouble to hold on to me right in and run groeschel to take the checkered flag with five races to go the twenty six year old now leads by seventy seven points from ferrari's fernando alonso you could only manage six place . basketball and with three weeks to go until the new n.b.a. season as well homa city thunder claimed a ninety five points to eighty two wins in

a documentary about the life and deeds of supreme daredevil shane mcconkey which is set to be released later this year and considering put up of went to see it james kharkiv has captured his first ever professional ball the title the late great shame according to his heart and personality or as big as he is still in the dead of all skill it to make people laugh and inspire everyone he met he took his four to a new level becoming one of the trailblazers of free ski for him it was impossible to imagine living life at less than one hundred percent. with such a phenomenal bit but it shows what it. like if you want to do something you love it really he said because it was the way with very big stage and knew what it looked like to listen. even if you should be to hear it he said rather like that

it is if. i go and sit for a long time i think that me so they today are so it was for that i would say they're. still there so it really gives life to. be of that scale. mcconkey story was always walking over a movie son of albine specialist in extreme skiing pointed jeem changer and from competitive race it to movie stars combining base jumping and wing suits with skiing skills he was never afraid of them he was more afraid of not living to the full he was so real there was nothing that he may have a pretty. it is just who he was in me as kind of a door kind of embarrassing sometimes but he didn't care and so i think that he's everyone felt so comfortable around him say you are drawn to that kind of

personality when you can just be yourself. yet sometimes things go wrong even directors in two thousand and nine mcconkey was a new tool for me to straighten my double back with pretended to glide away and physically insert the piece he's built to release in time his parachute was never deployed and he died at the same age just thirty nine living behind a wife and daughter. as well as countless fans she. told for whom his positive energy was irresistible. during. a party. and let's end with such a where russia are expected to produce a range of medalists at the maiden winter olympics yet outplaying skating is unlikely to break with tradition and deliver any podium finishes and richard pulled

from whence to find out why. despite being a when this war is coming of age in over one hundred million people success in our minds he is mormon new to russia under the soviet union the country one just one a little bit wrong who's lost a leg might be should the silver really harm in my judgment is russia's only did you finish underlain because for example when a shiver leaves a mark in the interest and funding the stunted baseball development across the country. i talk in football have always been the number one sports in russia and alpine skiing just can't compete it doesn't have the popularity of rugby in new zealand for example take liechtenstein a tiny alpine prince apparently has a population of around thirty five thousand full five thousand times smaller than back to russia however since nine hundred seventy six in one minute in big medals

including two golds russia has not imagined ranges of a majority or a scientist of the country the true biggest cities are in the west and russia's coach summer for you comes from the eastern outlying countries slovenia says accessibility to the slopes is key when trying to balance champions playing as well as kind of a national sport it's actually rang the does for football and be for best because. lots of young people of this. joined. because of the chapters from there are also. ok we have competition and the reverse from austria switzerland very close so we can compare so that's probably one of the reason that risking their a little bit however the situation in russia is in routing city my talk of hails from a region of camera in eastern siberia which has become the country's new hotbed for

outlined skiing along with two time world sober. champion you could do you know do it again show on my talk about these sports of the up and coming results are sitting here show which is arguably russia's largest ski complex with dozens of different runs all natural similar i started skiing when i was seven when i went into first grade at school we would study in the classroom until lunch and then we would hit the slopes thank you such opportunities remain a rarity in russia with the majority of school kids still taking up either ice skating or cross-country skiing yes as more top class facilities are being built right in the country fun skiing and snowboarding are becoming more popular and it's hoped next year's function embrace will help boost visiting friends in town a long time off help our soul into a new russian that. richard pombo hopefully doxie moscow. and that's it from sport.

well. it's technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got the future covered. after decades of prosecuting a covert in poxy war against around can washington change its behavior many in washington have dismissed obama's all branch out of hand many in iran are just as mistrustful is this quest for peace a fool's errand. may get out of. the real thing but. it's ok james speak. to your military service and you can expect some of the toughest training. from the press to send them up to.

see. the.

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 sea it's a step forward. corrects it is toxic is a look a lot like spraying and. it was it was not a picture of either the government or b.p. really wanted to have out there i don't want dispersants to be the agent. of this bill's.

language of oil but i will only react to situations i have read the reports and let you know push the no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point to say it's ok because i'm not talking no god. no more weasel words. when you fade a direct question and he prepared for a chase when you throw a punch be ready for a. critical speech. down to freedom to cost.
