a surprise silver medal in the women's five hundred meter speedskating just but half an hour ago meanwhile all of the two fixtures for the russian female curling team was already headed in victory let's go to the such media center right now in touch with the correspond paul scott for their take through russia's latest success than the last one so recent of course. yes the atmosphere was electric in the roof was raised a few moments ago inside the arena all get a foot cool and secured a silver medal in the women's speed skating five hundred meters event it was a turn up for the books and was rather unexpected elsewhere russia's female curlers are in action there looking for their third straight win these games they're currently taking on china they lead three one in n five this is after a victory over the usa earlier on on our choose day morning now the atmosphere is also building inside the iceberg skating palace because that's where the figure skating pairs event is underway it starts this evening with the short program and

concludes on wednesday with the free program of course russia has already won a medal in the figure skating without dominant display in the team event so the pressure is on the. tatyana volunteers are they are the world and european champions so there's an expectant home crowd and they'd. their success down to a rather extra special working relationship. i was familiar with some of what seems to change. my very exciting news jim and i and lexeme is a libra so we get along just fine words between these two parts when we first started skating together i told the tiana that more than half of what people say about my personality is probably true as she told me she could get along with pretty much anyone finally said 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 in my performance and the medals i win with who cares if i'm a difficult person. so no time to celebrate for the. trunk of celebrating the team's success over the course of the weekend they are straight back into action in the past event on the ice a little bit later on. for while you're there any word from russia's ice hockey team aka the red machine. yes some of the world's most famous sporting stars have been on show in sochi on tuesday with russia's ice hockey team attending a press conference earlier on today ahead of their first match which is against living here in two days' time now there were injury concerns over the captain pavel datsyuk he missed all of his side's n.h.l. games in january through injury but he's here in sochi and he is fighting fit and it seems despite the pressure of playing in front of another expectant home crowd

on home ice here in sochi the spirits are high inside a jovial russian camp. booked on a child who you want to hear first. the captain of course the most. i think because we're playing at home we'll have a lot more brotherly support the entire country will be cheering force we will be united is that. i agree with our captain and he deserves his title he is very experienced at the respected by the entire hockey community and beyond so with a captain like that we can aim for the top as for our team we're very friendly bunch there's a great atmosphere among us the team and the coaches are on the same wavelength and one that's the most important thing of everything is in our hands now. i see thank you i have a thought in this case and i agree with everything he said. well the hockey

career is clearly taken its toll on the trademark smile of alex ovechkin you saw at their bodies reassured fans others here to stay for some time yet there's no plans to sit in the dentist's chair until after his retirement now away from events here down in the coastal cluster and up in the mountain cluster there is one of the resorts that is remaining open to the public despite the fact the world's elite are in town it's open to people of all standards from begin is and my colleague martin andreas found out. what goes up must come down there's no better way to see the beautiful caucasus mountains and zooming down the slopes take in the breathtaking scenery and marvel in the vast resorts and facilities they now have here as you know the famous phrase when in rome so it's on with the boots and off to the slopes at krasnaya polyana a totally transformed area of this month's on the big opening this is just beautiful it's been fun we came up skiing the other day

a couple days off between work and sochi and adler and corky all came together nicely when we got here is a little and then end up in a couple days a hammer it out it's really cool since snowboarding inception as an established winter sport it's developed various styles each with its own specialized equipment and technique snowboarding when you became a winter sports in the one nine hundred eighty eight ranging from the stunts of freestyle to the fast pace of slope style used for both recreation and professional snowboarding it's my first time and it's not as easy as it looks but it's a little bit confusing as i've been told that i'm left footed even though i'm right handed i said in the same story position was pushed forward on the first foot that i thought was the direction i should go because wish me luck. there are around one hundred thousand risk of fractures worldwide i'm going snowboarders. i'm not going

to be a statistic to me and my instructor says he can teach someone to be a recreational snowboarder in one or two days with the ability to use all lifts perform controlled link turns control speed and direction and stop confidently something i'm having trouble with the slopes are busy now with locals and visitors from all over the world but what's the future of the region after the olympics i think it's best to reserve the russia for skiing and through the summer times because all of. libya connected in the one large resort people of all ages come here to the slopes fifty kilometers from the black sea coast the perfect way to exercise and to stand up for their asses losin salty and great i'm enjoying them but i'm trying not to go too fast so i don't get down you know it's risky at my age but she's not known for its alpine skiing or snowboarding and might not be

it's a nearly twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow it's r.t. international a number of coordinated anti n.s.a. protests on the haka gatherings taking place around the globe have been dubbed the day we fight back they mark thirteen months since the suicide of internet freedom poster boy aaron swartz a tragedy that many believe was provoked by america's security response nature can now telling us the story of the computer prodigy. aaron swartz could have been a millionaire living now in silicon valley when he was just fourteen aaron helped launch the first artist says feeds from which deliver web content aaron by the time he turned nineteen his company had merged with take a look at it which would become one of the most popular websites in the world. but money was not his ultimate call aaron went down to champion

a fleet internet it's common sense and it's the foundation of our constitution the government is constrained by having someone else check off to make sure they're not abusing their power aaron became a political activist calling for others to join this isn't something playing out on a stage somewhere where giants fight each other and you get to sit and watch popcorn this is a fight you can join in right so if you're going to demand progress dot org and sign up we have actions every week there are bills that are coming up that could crack down on internet freedom there are companies trying to abuse their power and it's up to all of us to stop them aaron swartz drew the f.b.i.'s attention in two thousand and eight when he downloaded and released about sweet million federal court documents from a restricted service the government did not press charges because the documents were in fact public he was arrested in two thousand in the living for downloading academic articles from a subscription based research website at his university with the intention to make them available to the public. although none of what he downloaded was classified

prosecutors wanted to put him in jail for thirty five years when he saw all of his wealth gone and he recognized his parents were going to have to mortgage their house so he could afford a lawyer to fight a government that treated him as if he were nine eleven terrorists as if it as if what he was doing was threatening the infrastructure of the united states when he saw that he recognized how how incredibly difficult that fight was going to be of course he was depressed at the age of twenty six aaron swartz took his own life. this is somebody who was pushed to the edge by what i think of as a kind of bullying by our government it was several months after aaron's death that edward snowden blew the whistle on the government's widespread snooping showing that while the government wants everyone to be open and transparent it can go with lentulus li after someone who fully embrace this idea of transparency and accessibility of information like aaron swartz day in washington i'm going to check

out our. art into the art that we go starting with a military cargo aircraft which was crashed in the north african state of algeria while transporting soldiers on their families a local media saying over one hundred people on board were killed when the plane came down off the clipping a mountain in the eastern part of the country a bad weather is believed to be the cause rescue teams are currently on the scene. grenades have been thrown into a crowded movie theater in northwest pakistan killing. one blew up at the main door to more exploded inside where eighty people were at the time it's not yet clear who's behind the. government demonstrators flooded the streets of boston again on tuesday after the country's prime minister refused to step down people waved demanding that

a billion dollars the details plus the pictures of what many are calling the biblical flood zone line. something similar. an image released by challenge is the long held belief that the red planet's been dry for billions of years find out what that discovery could mean. on the program on all the international across britain house prices are soaring out of reach for ordinary people in one town where you can get a house. and all you have to do is give it a make over promise to live that. one pound sterling doesn't buy you much nowadays but in stoke on trent lucky locals have managed to grab the ultimate bargain a house it's part of a sell off of rundown properties in a deprived part of the city this sort of apply just sort of to the blue really

because i was saving up for a mortgage and things anyway which when you run to me is quite hard. but yes i use quite shortly you know i actually did go out which actually great for us because we don't have a problem. the snag many of the properties have stood abandoned for a year is after the closure of the city's ceramic factories the area started to decline booming roof sleeping every negative thing that you keep in mind just into properties all of my commute for those behaviors the workers of the park trees which is only walking distance who are all living here and then what happened was as the poultry stock trees started closing down people had to move forward so the communities start to disperse to this area's deprived it's riddled with antisocial behavior like drug abuse crime and squatting but the local councils say that the one pound scheme and the new owners moving in should help to create a sense of community and turn the area around. applicants have to be locals first

time buyers and earning less than forty thousand pounds per year to avoid entrepreneurial property developers from taking advantage of the author homeowners have to commit to staying in the houses for at least ten years this is what one pound will buy you on century street in stoke on trent now on top of that one pound owners have to commit to borrowing thirty thousand pounds from the local council for the renovations and work has already started on transforming these abandoned shells and turning them into brand new properties and through hey can see what they're going. to look like before the scheme came along like many britons gavin couldn't afford a deposit for a house and was paying more in rent than he will be in loan repayments to the council in ten years' time i'll be percent more tree with house. and not many people can get up to ten it's where the housing crisis leaving millions struggling

nuclear powered fleet of ice breakers we've underachieved in the hey you need operation of. the northern sea route russia's arctic ice breakers. there is obviously more for the ladies because it's pink. when they wanted to avoid rape they really needed to buy guns environ how to use them i'm. sure this is the one that i want to go with them once again it's the fear for. women are definitely the target of the gun lobby and you don't kill them when you killing money but if somebody would you would piss with her. i'm noticing more and more and that's really scary marketing tactics which implies that women have some sort of moral obligation to guns to protect their family and young girls shoot out here too so we do have a pink or. more kids young kids choke on food than are killed by firearms if

being armed made us safer in america we should be the safest nation on earth were clearly not the safest. birthday or. the location of a boy still remember. how to do that well there is of the low high tax and said you would stop this storm we might think you know my people will die.
