where recently missed several deadlines to handover its chemicals saying rebel activity was to blame but damascus maintains it will meet the un box roadmap and fully desire its toxic asset all by during. it's a busy day for you sultry with eight sets of medals up for grabs canada is on top of the medal table at the moment and there's been no podium successfully prose so far today however that doesn't mean there's nothing to cheer for the home crowd she's an isa now we're reports now from our headquarters. the competition is gathering pace and every day brings new reasons for celebration here in sochi but the russians women's curling team has moved a step closer to medal success beating their american rivals let's get the details from our andrew farmer well there has been more success for the russian women's curling team they've beaten the americans nine seven to record their second win in a row and a bit later on will turn out again to face the chinese and also

a bit later on we'll get another glimpse of the figure skating stars maksim and tatiana. they've already won team gold and our favorites for the pairs event which does get underway this evening it's also worth noting that they are world and european champions despite only being together for three years and despite. famous bad temper so what is the secret of their success over such a short space of time or maybe just maybe it could be written in the stars i was familiar with some of what seems to treat. my zodiac sign is gemini and lexeme is a libra so we get along just fine. when we first started skating together i told her that more than half of what people say about my personality is probably true and she told me she could get along with pretty much anyone. whatever people say about my or someone else's personality figure skating is a sport and what matters is the result doesn't matter what my personality is like

some would say about a coach for example he's insufferable the most important thing is my training and my performance and the medals i win who cares if i'm a difficult person well also today look out for the names of nikita crew called from the men's cross country skiing and also. in the biathlon on the first medal of today again when the canadians it went in slopestyle skiing and that really does cement their place at the top of the medal table and not long ago actually be. from canada. displaying the gold and silver medals they won in the moguls at the weekend we caught up with that of the system he told us where he's made a comparison between the vancouver games four years ago and the sochi games now because i am kitty and it was own soil in vancouver there's different in intensity level difference where in russia so the russians are at home and whenever a russian was skiing down the course the crowd would go and say it wasn't as

intense for canadians or other athletes but in some ways i think it was kind of a pursuit of relief kind of feel like i'm here to is very exciting the night of the events the crowd is there there is some fear so definitely olympic by going on ice hockey is also expected to steal the show at the sochi olympics and it's promising to be one of the most exciting tournament in years we caught up with russian hockey legend legend. of who is a two time olympic gold medalist to find out what his hopes are for the russian team being big. and i mean for gold for the ocean and for all kind of qualities to do so. before. good growth and. good course and stuff for growth experience. competitions. really will support their fans. can give lots of pressure.

to be in the home eyes abroad. to know how to handle the pressure going out to be under pressure. and expect the gold medal from just. this russian team the winter olympics in sochi have been making headlines around the globe but not necessarily about the competition many news outlets have set the alarms ringing over the alleged terrorist threat that's just spite. as unprecedented security operation let's also not forget the never ending tales about the saudi hotels and bad organization while very few missed the opportunity to deliver horror stories about the rounding up of the stray dogs while lead singer putin has dismissed such coverage as an echo of the cold war coating the whole during the cold war era there was the so-called containment policy that's what it was called it was the policy and practice of containing the soviet union's

development of unfortunately as we see now occasionally there are through backs to these policies every so often so when russia demonstrates a positive development it's clear the perience of new harmful players and competitors in genders somewhat fear them in areas such as the economy politics and security attempts to contain russia emerge here or there including with the olympic project the man snowboarding half pipe final is one of the most anticipated medal events of the day crews are racing to smooth the course after complaints by some athletes the slopes of sochi may currently be at the olympic battleground right now but they promise to become a popular tourist destination after the games we send our teams martin andrews to sochi mountain closer to test what goes up must come down there's no better way to see the beautiful caucasus mountains consuming down the slopes taking the breathtaking scenery and marvel in the vast resorts and facilities they now have

welcome to the kaiser report imax kaiser there's a new game we like to play you see a game with no added sovereignty it's made to a vote puts me on my i mean you call it master and servant we call it alex and simon with a sort of independence you need servitude alex why be yet another nation on the chain gang when you can be the first on the block train station yes well max this is the talk of town here is this scottish vote for independence coming up september eighteenth and everybody is very concerned about it and it's back in the news because royal bank of scotland r.b.s. threatened to leave scotland and join the city of london should the scots vote for it defend it apparently they think that's

a good threat but i would think that the debts of r.b.s. or a ball and chain on the scottish nation any new scottish nation the first headline read scotland will never be free as long as that has r.b.s. well i'm surprised that r.b.s. took this position because first of all r.b.s. is already in the city of london r.b.s. doesn't represent anybody in scotland r.b.s. is already here in the city of london and they are engaging in what the banks on the city of london do are b.s. lloyds barkley's and the other one h.s.b.c. h.s.b.c. i know there's four or sort of a banking apocalypse and they're already commanding there are who wants them why would scotland one r.b.s. royal bank of scotland i mean it's a joke it's like these bankers threatening to go to switzerland if they're if there if any regulations are imposed on them just go.
