a throw so between the toronto raptors that twice in two thousand and eleven atlanta's col cooler extended his record of scoring three pointers to one hundred nights consecutive games after sinking to travel at the age of ten and with eight minutes to go to all the new n.b.a. deputy commissioner adam silver is considering creating a european division chart so once we have in place that core infrastructure arenas there's an opportunity to potentially have a division here we know the interesting. exists you know i've been i wrote down in a in a tape they played i couldn't agree more with le bron who said the number one sports brand in the world so i think that's a great way to capture the n.b.a. so we see opportunity there's no question. now moving on to the second tier euro cup where russian team him key brushed aside israeli champions must be haifa eighty seven points to forty eight in the moscow region to stretch their unbeaten run to an impressive twenty one games cousin but apple for reports. i after being founded

in one thousand men to seven seem to have been on the rise since two thousand and six they finished runners up to say ascot the mystically and one to europe second tier two off in twenty twelve however this season they made a poor start being knocked out of the top flight euroleague in the qualifying round yet since then remus coach knight his men have suffered just one defeat in the euro car and are still on it in the domestically so went into the last thirty two game against struggling makati haifa aiming to continue their winning ways and after rolling into the game with a nine nothing burst team can never look back well i guess that we started very good we played hard and fast they couldn't score in the first quarter at all and and after that we were pretty good running to a man if you're gonna get a fast rag we score a lot of easy pies and you know overall today great game for us the moscow region side kept these rally champion said by a widening the margin in

a distinctly one sided qantas to twenty one points by the main intermission at the record when it was one zero for all the home side's players to reach double figures and lead the russian outfit to another convincing victory after recently being named family and sportsman of twenty thirteen a cigarette on are an arm of a very happy about that and it's just gonna lay over the surprise for me by you know it's time for a body awarded and you know it's a greater saw than it's also shows that basketball is on arising from john king to sail to an impressive eighty seven forty eight bettering off my cabbie high front to maintain their perfect euro cup record and when main top of group k. with four matches to go gresham euro launcher lead the victories with eighteen points and ten rebounds while markup over the edge and fourteen. of us is better we played well both in defense and offense all of us did well the young players were uncalled for more than ten minutes for the first time we need to focus on our

double header against czechs at number one it will be hard but if. if we continue to play like these will advance to the top sixteen it must be well for sharing some point we're going to lose three no doubt but you know we try to keep it going as long as possible and you know now we are playing very pretty good and everybody got their confidence and i hope we will win a lot of games still you know in a row after their disappointing euro league curtain raising him to have bones back with an outstanding run of twenty one straight victories in all competitions and the yellow in blues and to keep this three go in until they win a trophy whether in europe in russia or even in both constantly about archie. now there's such a games are just over a fortnight away and with the winter sports season in full swing let's take a look at part two of our actions to watch olympic previews and the medal chances for the whole nation wrote about on hand has will. do you think.

the two time european champion will also be looking to trump at the next level after the pair held their adopted country to european rule a gold in two thousand and thirteen. after finishing twentieth in board the five hundred in one thousand meters in vancouver or go for the coolest improvement has been rabbit being crowned the world one thousand mirror champion last year in sochi while denise your scope has also hit big form there will groans in two thousand and twelve in the team pursuit he also produced a season's best to drive on the olympic track at the one thousand five hundred meters. putting both among the top names for glory at their home games.

make it the kuko course grown classical sprint champion in vancouver the twenty eight year old followed this with a big three at the two thousand and thirteen world championships in both the classical and team sprints and is no favorite to claim his second berlin big gold one from snow i like something a little golf is a veteran of two games. but as young fourth in the thirty kilometer double pursuit of vancouver but victory at last year's tour to ski means that they were a year old is also one to watch. you could sit in at the the geisha of a big game russia's maiden world snowboard gold medalist back in two thousand and seven. after winning the world giant slalom in switzerland the twenty six year old is back in form at the right time of the quitting and the world title in two thousand and thirteen in the perils. and hoping to make it

a unique russian trouble next month in sochi. robert bruno r.t. . and in the meantime at the latest world cup event in austria russia veteran bobsled alexandre's a coffin was named in the olympic squad for the fifth time after the thirty nine year old took bronze group from the three two men call for in the to run bob slay the u.s. two zero off steven holcomb and steve langton two gold ahead of swiss spat by at hefty and thomas on the line. and in the men's skeleton russian world champion alexander critical of claim silver as lucky as martin is due course continue his fine form by seeding the thirtieth of the world cup stage victory of his career the world and olympic silver medalist produced the fastest times in both runs with his brother thomas coming home. while

and we are banning anything we aren't rounding up anyone we have no criminal punishment for such relations which are unlike many of the countries where one can feel relaxed and that ease please leave the children in peace with their new. found finally the such the paralympics just over six weeks away russia's sled hockey team wraps up their final preparations by beating the czech republic six nil to win the fourteen international tournament just outside moscow michael crouch and co reports . dolls is often considered to be the birthplace of russian sledge hockey and for three days the moscow region town once again played host to the fourth annual sledge hockey tournament between russia norway sweden and the czech republic in their first two games the hosts saw from one thousand nine hundred four champion sweden with an impressive eight two one victory and then beat the current olympic bronze medalists norway seven goals to nothing and so were heavily tipped to take

the title going into the final game against the czechs and it didn't take long for russia to open against the two time european silver medalists racing into a three goal lead within the first ten minutes the czechs appeared shellshocked while the hosts took the puck around with purpose and in the second fifteen minute period russia ended the game as a competition adding another two goals before netting a six in the final period and wrapping up a very rewarding final warm up ahead of their home winter paralympics in march but the other story this was a big moral boys took but there is still plenty to strive for there is a lot for us to develop but at the paralympics we will force to try and to be on our best game we not only outran ourselves in the tournaments we were also more effective with the park and we put our train tactics and combinations to good use throughout we were also trying out certain approaches which we are planning to use against all potential opponents in canada and the us. russia has come

a long way since putting together its first sledge hockey team four years ago you overcoming humiliating high school defeats and failing to qualify for any major events or mondays when russia first played at an international tournament in the story and the results were terrible they lost their first game fifteen zero in the second game fourteen zero and the third to thirteen zero but the ones didn't hang their hats and got on with it with a hell of the russian ministry of sport which has continuously supported the pm since that would. the team recently proved any down to the wrong by taking third place at the twenty thirty world championships and judging by their performance at the don't tournament they can be peaking at a better time so team russia such as the teams final preparations ahead of the paralympic games have a bun extremely well with them beating every single team in the full team international tournament just outside of moscow however they faced sterna tests when they face the likes of canada and the us come the seventh the much luck of

take a look at the region. and that's all from the sporting if'n. there's a media lead us so we leave them to be. by the same motions your. party has a goal. for shoes that no one is asking with the gas that you deserve answers from it's all on politicking only on our team. the united states is a very good example here because in earlier years they maybe had

a pretty strong genuine democracy a dad by now i would argue has degenerated into a system where money and power mattered much more than britain then a deputy of the majority of the founding fathers of the united states would constantly say that they were not trying to instill democracy that he was horrible they wanted to have a republic and they purposely designed the institutions to as they put it exclude the majority of from participation. as a new physician. to abide by the hippocratic oath. to the best of my ability and judgment. i will prescribe for the good does my patients. i will not give deadly doses to anybody.

or advise of those to do so. i will never do harm to. doctors of the dogs. to. jingle bells jingle bells it's christmas time for all you people or stealing all your. yeah yeah they're in our pocket we give them a bonus every year and they do what ever we want what ever we want the f.b.i. or crooks to the f.b.i. it's funny it's a farce it's american justice is a is a farce the f.b.i. is i think the cost of bribing the f.b.i. has gone down there's your deflation the cost of bribery your bill is going down but in america under obama's america there isn't a flip. coming

up on our t.v. president obama tells us how he wants to change n.s.a. surveillance but are the proposed reforms enough to silence critics the latest just ahead and iran suspends part of its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief could this temporary deal pave the way for a future troops more on these developments coming up and the company responsible for poisoning an entire city's water supply in west virginia is in trouble yet again freedom industries says it's broke is this just a way to avoid dealing with dozens of lawsuits more on that later in the show.
