ago all in the champions league in that time it was shorter less less people. let's games today is this moment more difficult because there are. unbelievable teams around europe and it's not just you want to try and rooting win over braunschweig extended their record on beaten streak in the bundesliga to thirty nine consecutive matches and fall down from with three male battering off arch rivals and last year's champions league final is dortmund to see brian maintain a four point lead at the top of the table and raise hopes of a land precedented second straight travel we did good transfers. we have a perfect with pep guardiola. and we know we are strong but to win all three titles. you need a bit luck and so i cannot guarantee this but we are in

a good way to record winning form and barcelona coded one of the all i had to go with all conquering german machine at the end of last season and the players hailed the influence of the forty two year old was considered to be the key ingredient behind this side which last days did the mastic the fear last october. he wins all the idling span you wins the champions league and he wins a lot of the title and so i think is the perfect perfect term for their sobriety and i think we have we have in the train it is important we have a very very much fun into training we have a very much fun in the game. learn our own impressive run in both domestic and european football but it's titles that count and if the minix side miss out on any come the end of the season few will probably created one of the all of four records but i would soon though for the moment that seems unlikely. r.t. . well in the meantime around madrid star christiane iran eldo got stuck during

a test drive in the spanish capital and was rested for the four one champions league victory over gala tests or i as well as missing the four no let me go away about rail valladolid away gareth bale scored his first round had trick the world record signing still back to the portugal captain to win the ballon d'or in january . to me the world's worst player this is kristen out i think. this season especially for a great player is precious. in the world cup qualifier and every week very rigid he produces every single week. and some sad news from brazil as two people were killed after a crane collapse at this hour paolo stadium which is set to host the opening match of next year's world cup while six of the twelve venue's are yet to be completed by the time that time at the end of this year fifa president sepp blatter said he was deeply saddened by the tragic deaths. now moving on to ice hockey where

a new look style about you i have came back from one nil down it was not a struggling three to win a sponsor like and help cement their chances of reaching the playoffs again something but out of has more on the southern russian team who are showing you might just win things with kids. mazed in the city of new fire about one thousand three hundred kilometers southeast of moscow so are the live fires hockey club was founded in one thousand sixty one and named after in one thousand century a local revolutionary hero thirty years later it established itself as a russian powerhouse and his scenes become an integral part of the region's identity after winning the russian superleague in two thousand and eight the team went on the following year to win the maiden regular season of the cage shell in the southern city of finally lifted that coveted getting caught up in twenty one however since their triumphs are out here live have changed the club's direction

cutting the budget and relying on home grown players present and past was. there just two players left from the team that won the cup in twenty eleven we're now more focused on players who develop through our own system we've transferred back some of our former players is there an easy way forward but step by step we are starting to produce results which is. where i live this seven years ago i kept in my mind there could be back and that's what happened it's always good to play for the club that brought you up this isn't i have ten players from the academy this x. responsibility and try to give them as many tips as i can go to ideas in a junior has been given the responsibility of building a new team and so for his seems to be succeeding with the team line fourth in the eastern conference in which you're a scene of credits to a roster that can call on a pool of talented local youngsters. for the cool but

unfortunately club loyalty is no longer what it was however i think it's one of the reasons why we're doing so well this season players who take to the ice of their hometown tend to give their best they want to impress their relatives in the supporters and we have great fans who we don't want to let down. as the current crop of young locals who are behind so i want successful to foreman says the club is also an earthing top players from around the world who can provide not only a moment's removed in the standings but also bring in valuable foreign experience to help the sides youngsters improve and progress i tried to so far as a player so. what you've got to have to bring to the table every night is what it takes to get real it's it's a case of missing the big top well the first time. i very young players start to. look things. yeah but i try to bring the leadership and still.

be there like one young guys made me think of. the change and some of the live strategy seems to be passing smoothly and asks only off their fans to have a little bit is this side's junior grow into the roles of champions and bring more silverware to this broad clubs trophy cabinet constantly by the above r t. now into basketball an n.b.a. superstar le bron james has vowed to keep getting better as the miami heat forward top scored a twenty eight points to help the champions beat his former club the cavaliers ninety five eighty four in cleveland i feel really good right now. i'm the most complete basketball man behind us in the last year as a as physical state i was going be a better player and i feel like i'm a better player so my dad not dining on the sets farm. while one club man kobe bryant has signed a two year contract extension that will take the thirty five year old into his

twentieth season with the l.a. lakers the daily is much more to be worth forty eight point five million dollars the five time n.b.a. champion hasn't played this season how to take his achilles tendon last april but was happy his team could get him. makes you want to run for. your kind this adds more fuel to the fire. you know prove to everybody that you know they're right you know everybody else is wrong. while in the euro league says go most go secured a top sixteen place with an eighty two seventy four when the developing hero ukrainian post lead fifty nine fifty eight going into the fourth quarter but the army men then forged ahead here pulled back to within a point after a four three point just didn't like a heard top scorer call hines and milton about six combined how to scout seal their third straight victory. and the russian club locomotive combine became the first

group in detail to qualify for the top sixteen as they feel rushed the attuvassery test eighty four fifty three in vilnius derek brown top scored for locomotive with twenty points and later coach yevgeny by shooting was given the joint role of also taking over the russian national team. selection bush's former first of all i'd like to say thank you for entrusting me with this job because it's the russian national team it's a very big responsibility we have a big country with a big basketball history and we need to do a lot of work to take the russian team up to the highest level the most important thing is to educate as we need to make the players understand what a responsibility to play for the national team almost for which is you know now let's turn to boxing and a different kind of rematch five years after that controversial heavyweight bout in zurich. if i wonder how they failed us here in moscow and came face to face once again with nicole i value it because i chose as more.

evander holyfield is the real deal the former undisputed world champion in both the cruiserweight division and that heavy weight where he was the only full time winner and trained victories over fights as such as george foreman larry holmes and mike tyson. now age fifty one the american was a most reunited with another old followed nicholai following the man who fired he's a ghost on the boxing fraternity by beating holyfield in switzerland with a controversial majority decision to successfully defend his w b a title which i'm honored to meet this legendary boxer once again who's come to see a series must go i hope this won't be the last time many of us when we were still kids and kids growing up now watch a band as fights because here today is a true legend in boxing back in december the twentieth two thousand and eight in

the city of zero rich holyfield was attempting to become the oldest heavyweight to win a major belt at the age of forty six and he was up against one who is eleven years his junior twenty three centimeters taller and forty three kilograms hevia it was a big fight for me because when about if like me that is so their way what would happen when. i was when i when i walked by the people asked me why would you fight it. that's out by the way with i said you too old they telling me our to all of our like tell a master get out you know understand i said your knowledge is power isn't how you apply what you know i. was aiming for his first title difference during his second brain is that he be a champion of the fight was a time to time but so would the veteran holyfield surprising all his crew. six at times the towering russian seemed to be struggling and couldn't find an answer to

knock out his opponent about went the distance with many including holyfield himself believing he'd won it however the stunned crowd so follow it handed victory a swift rematch was expected but it never happened and holyfield has no regrets about things that i don't like never have that again spiders because we both get in the ring with like somebody else like if this isn't so we should ever be on bad each other like says about it see that he don't use he don't use reverie i don't use reverie he had all jews the judges out all jews it does i've never been a bad. son five years on and it has been an unexpected rematch between these two champions in moscow and with no hard feelings but with a book some story that still divides opinions and joins the crowds from the oldest heavyweights to the youngest contenders nicol archos auntie.

and that's about one don't go away. if you leave with these economic ups and downs in the finite months they belong to the deal sang i and the rest because i was doing the case you will be every week on me. over. did you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy correct albers. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of

our government and out across several we've been hijacked why handful of transnational corporations they will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once told us about my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem trying to fix rational debate and a real discussion of critical issues facing america by the book ready to join the movement then walk a little bit of. the interview. a few clues to take over from.

welcome back to the sport show and we reach here with a new mixed martial art judo and at the recent challenge cup in moscow a new accounts agree was contested quote absolute between fight as a different weights and points robert for the neon explains all. the skills defeating syce spirit overcoming power and here is a prove the mixed martial art of hoodoo also known as the wrist karate it was introduced by japan in one thousand nine hundred eighty one and incorporates all

major fighting techniques from boxing and why to do judo and wrestling. it is also the only come with sport that has no weight classes but categories determined by a combination of flyers weight and height. but ever this time around there was a dramatic change to the competition the most you could have a challenge cup at just one category known as absolute mini both giants and lightweight were allowed on the same canvas. alexi headed down of the two thousand and nine world championships silver medalist and one of russia's wyler's in the sport declare his way to the tournaments title after edging out his combat threat and the two thousand and eleven world cup winner. in this sammis bit of food in an impressive performance against an even bigger man nico i've endured in the finals because of the not a substitute proved that pure class skills and speed can allow you to be those who

are much bigger and stronger at least in terms of regulated competition it is a great inspiration for other fighters we all grew up watching movies with bruce lee that's where they really had just a single absolute category that you're going to play in this new me up of the show it was a long tournaments at first but face more opponents than me and it wasn't any easier i just found my game later on against the bigger. guys my cardio got better i moved faster lighter on my feet. the event also saw a single women's fight no less dramatic though the local hero eighteen time russian jam band beat in a break of a placed ukraine's idea even over the russian had beaten her opponent twice before but this time around the outcome was different it was the ukrainian who had a slight edge in the fight that anna did with serious foot injury phobic about.

them and yet that actually i'm a bit disappointed i didn't want to win this way well we are both going to take part in the twenty fourteen world championships so i hope we'll finally settle the score there. is now on the fast track to and during the olympic program and then there to hand having the widest range of fighting techniques the furious karate east probably one of the most efficient ways to represent real life situations in sports most of which came on or was the point we compete in chemo uniforms unlike another mixed martial arts and yes it affects the striking and wrestling techniques but look you would not go out just wearing boxer briefs right sult sell me what is more realistic and closer to a real fight with. robert r.t. moscow. now back to football and in england's two man has been

charged with conspiracy to defraud drug ations of match fixing something chelsea manager chose a worrying you just doesn't get as simply don't don't understand though is it possible for somebody. to go into football beach and but dissipating. in metrics i always believe that we all are in love with the game. while there were mixed feelings for rory mcilroy as the two time major winner eagles the seventh hole then birdied the last to win the australian open by a single strike his first title of the season but the twenty four year old was happy to have a story after coming from stan to deny local hero adam scopes the chance to complete the wet triple crown of australian p.g.a. last us open titles i wanted to get a win by the end of the season and you know finally i've been able to get one of the more satisfying than not has been able to take all of the best players in the

world on the strachan and come out on top bottom is a phenomenal goal for a great competitor and i'm probably an even better guy and tennis world number two know about joke a bitch says he was stunned by the view as the australian open champion once again faced top ranked rival rafael nadal by this time in a friendly to promote tourism in argentina the two played against each other six times this season with three wins a place. this is one of the balls to address in places around the world this is a separate jewel billboard's you know the whole country just about boys course there's labor is that. while two thousand and nine formula one champion jenson button returned to his hometown of broome in england to turn over the christmas lights before spinning his wheels to entertain the crown's while seven time f one winner michael schumacher lavished praise on reading champion sebastian vettel off to his fellow german equals right thirteen wins in
