midnight in moscow i met president good to have you with us it promised to be a dramatic day at the winter olympics today and it delivered with the red machine in team usa going head to head in a terrific nail biting performance at the sochi bolshoi ice arena fans certainly got their money's worth tonight kevin owen standing by in our sochi center to tell us all about. the ride on my head there it's been now it's not over the city of sochi still a buzz off to one of the most bitterly fought contest of the olympics twenty thousand spectators part the bolshoi ice arena behind me to watch the red machine team usa but leads other out almost to a standstill in the ice rink multis pulled scott to this through that game. it promised to draw julie delivered one of the most thrilling ice hockey matches in winter olympic history really went the way of the usa in the most dramatic of circumstances it was two two at the end of regulation time with nothing separating

the two sides russia captain pavel datsyuk led by example he gave the home side the lead midway through the second period a great moment for him he of course plays his hole in the n.h.l. but goals from. and then. put the usa to one up before that it was on hand again to level matches to two with five minutes to go russia thought they'd done enough to win the match but what would have been the winning goal was cancelled out in the final few moments because the net had come away from its moorings it was a controversial moment with even the u.s. coach admitting afterwards that he was surprised that the goal didn't stand now it was a physical robust contest between two fierce rivals the game eventual went into overtime but still nothing separated the two sides and eventually the usa prevailed in a long rocking ten round shootout and these u.s. hockey stars. have been expecting a tough challenge because crazy is

a back and forth game and. we score and we score the score. so it was it was a good game as a hard fought battle by both teams. it seemed like from the very beginning it was going to be coming down to an overtime and possibly a shootout no matter if if the crowd's behind your. against you to play in front of such a rowdy crowd so much noise and so much buzz and it was it was really fun and it was hockey players you want to play in an environment like russia are still likely to qualify for the next stage of the competition they now face slovakia in their final group game on sunday that's a match they now have to win and afterwards are to gauge the reaction of some of the fans who were fortunate enough to be inside the bolshoi. i believe he would. a friend of mine just to see the match and we're very disappointed we hold our team will still show their worth at these games but it's still a look at the new boss league this isn't the last game russia will deliver yet we

just have to believe in them who can cheer for them. to come to the masses comment like that will score reading best country we haven't had an issue national security better there are some long guys don't let us down next time the whole sochi the whole country's cheering for you. at the game was great the guys did well our captain is the best we can still do it i have no doubt about it and it better if this deal with the crowd but i don't and then i was part of pavel brazen internationally renowned ice hockey veteran who was known in his day as the russian rocket when he played p.h.l. he told us the competition we are seeing now is as good as it gets but still ok chills are rather seasonal and all the best players in the world come here and play for a conference so paul said you know i would. extend the same thing go world cup and the soccer you know was going to win it you know brazil's pay me but we're friends we have some way to good teams that's why everybody watching and enjoy. or someone

else watching the game is a very a colleague in this and now a she rushed back to the studio to tell me how she saw it all unfold. to watch all together partly rooting for russia because they are the underdogs and haven't won for twenty years controversies kicked off tonight all social media and indeed there was a goal which of course was counted as a goal by the refs on the ice it was then no five by the international federation because the goalpost was a little bit off its peg so basically a huge debate going on right now on social media from the american ambassador to. mean people. political sport because we look back to the history of the cold war so it's getting a bit intense out. there although the game is painfully close and ultimately a loss for the russian side there's still plenty to make up for another events today very pleased to say top of the overall medal count in fact.

there was plenty to cheer for a russian sports fans on saturday they added two golds and a silver medal to that tally now in the men's skeleton event alexander tretyakov he won gold with a totally dominant display he led from start to finish setting a truck record in the first round all his hard work has paid off over the last four years he's improved on the bronze medal he won in vancouver four years ago elsewhere russia secured a one two win the men's one thousand made to short track speed skating it was a great time to call display by the russian jew i do lead from start to finish they took the lead and didn't look back on actually won the gold medal to add to the bronze that he won in the fifteen hundred meters earlier on in these games while the silver medal went to. now those additions to the tally have moved third in the overall medals table germany and switzerland have more golds but the host nation has more medals than any other country. you know really good news for russia said

they've got more medals now at the halfway point than bad total during the games in vancouver but things didn't look so rosy for the athletes taking part in the women's super g. skiing this morning talk about challenging seven of the first failed to finish the event for mr gates and penalties for athlete after athlete mr medals and in all in five eighteen of the forty nine skiers taking part didn't finish but one of those unlucky ones still made the contribution on the left of contacting the makes up above to tell them about the harder parts of the course you guessed it the success rate went up quickly after that now talk about a limp exposure to a spoke earlier to roberta he's a peruvian cross-country skier who competed despite having a broken rib it was a very very tough race for me it was a long one and i was expecting to go away given the broken dangerous.

when i cross the finish line and. a lot of support. came from peru from even from the goal winner for gold medal winner and the reason you've done this is to inspire youngsters to take up your sport back in peru you have got a message for black improve all of us what you can say to them well thank you very much for all that. it took me a long time a lot of pain to power through but it was absolutely. i hope you can use this message for a better use. it's the talk of the country right now in time the sochi olympics are being scouted by other major sporting organizations including formula one officials the consultants to the premier racing brad to be judging the city and its authorities on how they've handled the olympic games so far and going by what they told us at least seems they're pretty enthusiastic about seeing those race cars roaring around. all you have to do is is look around at the amazing effort and facilities that have been created for the olympics the same

effort is being put in to create a world class facility for formula one and i think that it will be definitely one of the best facilities in the world when it's completed the passion is here that can do attitude is here and the willingness of people to succeed and i think this is key to the success of the from the one project good to hear it well between all the cheering all the sports visitors of course that athletes alike need to unwind and relax a bit as well fortunately such is not just the olympic host but it's also the capital of black sea nightlife modern and has been out about of the tiles after dark. medals locked away from the home the sun has set and. there are tens of thousands of. during the games and it's not just hotels restaurants and shops that are busier than ever before the night life here is booming hosting the olympics means mixing

but also special significance today as well in that it's the anniversary of may recall of that massive meteorite that struck me last year and in memory of that medal winners will get a second set of medals ones with a piece of an actual meteorite embedded in the middle but anyway unfortunately not straight away however we can report the international olympic committee big stickers to tradition that they are saying you can give the athletes whatever you want just not during the games they insist instead that the only awards to be recorded during the games are the original medals so there you go the beautiful pieces left to play just a little while longer before the age they told us of this. so the date is drawn to a close and showing that the competition here is stepping up a notch so can join me next i would bring you more of sochi to your screens for the very best of these great games. coaching twenty four team promises we told them it again exhilarating winter sports

a pleasure to have you with us here today. and we're fifteen minutes past the hour and time may be running out for a russian pilot jailed in the u.s. constantini or a shango allegedly refused vital medical help and his lawyer says the man could already be a death's door russian diplomats are urging washington officials to intervene. reports. he received twenty years in prison in the united states for

a crime he never committed on the american soil now it has gone from bad to worse for russian violent constantin you know. he called me in the morning and told me he felt very sick and that he'd be lucky to survive until monday he seems to be having a heart attack because he told me he was suffocating experienced heart pain and was almost unable to walk he was beaten severely when he was arrested and has not been feeling well for a long time but his pleas for medical help have been ignored and he felt sick they put him in lock up and left him on the cold floor he tried to get a doctor but all he was offered was flu medication and some antibiotics sometimes they don't even let me send him letters and they have refused to let any russian officials meet with the prison chief over the head doctor you know showing his lawyer told r.t. that the head doctor at the new jersey prison where he's being held will not expedite his treatment which could have the worst possible consequences monday as

also a federal holiday in the united states so my supposition would be that any kind of medical treatment so constant in your i shan't go could be provided only. on tuesday the eighteenth of february constant. that he might not live through that we can pass condition requires immediate medical attention you know who was arrested in twenty to and in liberia on suspicion of drug smuggling he was reportedly severely beaten before being transported to the u.s. where he received a twenty year prison sentence this is not new this is something we've seen repeated over and over again kind of arrogant attitude that washington has toward other countries and particularly to other countries for not. doing what washington wants to dictate to them to do the presence system in the united states to life physicist on the planet. highest rate of prisoners and country life is the number in both

absolute terms in relative terms has no terror notoriously. disregarding of the rights of prisoners even the most fundamental rights including the return to the mosco has been insisting all along that the way you know shanks case has been handled regardless of whether he committed the crime or not is a gross violation of human rights probably very beginning the key so if you're a shrink or if we're going to. speak in disturbs has been absolutely police. we have expressed many things that are suicidal so we have a warrant for the u.s. government many times that. they are on the international obligations to take care of. the health of our citizens having failed to get through to washington via official channels the russian foreign ministry resorted to social media and posted a plea for help on its facebook page ever since you know it was delivered to the

u.s. russian officials have been denied access with the situation now taking a dramatic turn the russian foreign ministry officials are once again demanding to be allowed to see him along with their own doctors that is of course if you know shanker himself lives to receive that help and. the russian pilot's case doesn't seem out of the ordinary in the u.s. prison system according to the department of justice more than forty five thousand people have died in custody in a space of a decade some of them didn't even live to face charges the editor of prison legal news activist alex friedman tells us that keeping inmates alive and not be always a priority and some u.s. jails. prisoners might have very serious medical conditions and sometimes be very near death and they're told to sign up on a sick call or that they'll refer them to the nurse the next week or they might not be a doctor at the prison that weekend and so they have to wait until the next week to

see medical staff. go received a twenty year sentence he did not receive a death sentence but unless he receives adequate medical care he and other prisoners with serious medical conditions can die while in custody mr you're a shame go was basically kidnapped and you know when he was taken into custody overseas by u.s. officials. the united states really does not have a lot of respect for the rule of international law when it conflicts with what they want to do or as more stories a click away on r.t. dot com including italy lightening the burden on its overcrowded prisons by overturning a law that put marijuana alongside cocaine and heroin in the eyes of the justice system this could free around ten thousand inmates currently serving sentences related to soft drugs. and a mystery about martian iraq that appeared in the red planet pictures seemingly out of nowhere finally solved it over to r.t. dot com for an explanation of the phenomenon. and in this

lot the final story of the bulletin israel's borders with arab neighbors are some of the most heavily guarded on earth but within israeli society itself no shortage of tension between muslims and jews arabs making up a fifth of the country's populace but as artie's policy reports they're not always treated equally under the law. morning they treat us like israeli citizens only when they want to convict us other than that we're arabs to them and that's the pure racism and ethnic policy of this country that before even six other arabs were found guilty of attempting to murder in a ton santa and his radio jewish terrorist who took aim at them. it's a conviction that is hard to comprehend very hard that the innocent and victim is even put on trial let alone convicted of a young african it was here back in august two thousand and five that zada an israeli soldier who deserted the army used his military issued rifle to fire at our

passengers on a bus he killed four and wounded seventeen before being attacked by the crowd they grabbed him while he was being handcuffed by police he never made it off the bus arrived those who were sentenced for his death i think there's more to it than north from what the israelis use acts of power to educate us so that if such attacks happen again no one will dare to do anything i compared unstudied similar cases to this one in court where arabs from israel committed acts against jews and they were killed by james for taking the law into their hands the jews were never convicted and no charges were brought against them it's clear there is a double standard in the justice courts a case in point. and he's ready jew who shot and killed an arab terrorist after he murdered his shiva students while they were studying in jerusalem in two thousand and eight i shot him with two bullets in the head he spent around he was teetering

and then the guy with the m. sixteen who was hiding behind a side door finished the deal we kept shooting at him until we emptied our magazines and that was that. this is they didn't even open an investigation file against that doing the police didn't even ask him didn't even check of the air was dead or not the scales of justice on main to balance in this scale. he said for we seem to feel killing a jewish terrorist in this scale back doing praised for killing an arab terrorist but do they even know. israeli lawyer admits son adoption lake now feels if anything they tipped to wards arabs be treated united in jews she feels committed to for we induced coma accused should have received harsher sentences i would say it's a disgrace people who kill someone was hands are tied in the back. who is not a threat anymore either for the trial it's a fear of marriage or the conviction sends

a message that the arab community their blood is cheap and they can spare our lives and so the verdicts out is there a double standard at play in israel which is what the courts are meant to determine in the first place policy r t ten over the. next the challenge of getting medical help to nomadic families in russia is far north or if you're watching us from the u.k. go an underground with. next. transit

route to vnukovo report your best way to the heart of moscow. the alleged phone call between the assistant secretary of state and the u.s. ambassador to ukraine has created quite a controversy in the call like smug british colonisers cashless a pink t. and africa they basically say that that native books of phil he's not fit for the government of the of the need to become prime minister they also mentioning the help of the un to get this thing glued whatever that means although the authenticity of this phone call has not been confirmed but certainly hasn't been denied this reminds me a lot of the snowden leaks independent journalists for years had been writing about

government spying but it took snowden to shove it into people's faces and confirm that it was really going on we've heard from people like ron paul jesse ventura and many journalists that the u.s. state department uses a horde of international grant receivers and local political organizations to try to consciously and directly control sovereign nations and overthrow regimes they don't like and this phone call is legit that is the same level of undeniable evidence that snowden brought to the table to be fair during the cold war i could kind of see the justification to meddle in other countries so the soviets would create world communism but now who is the enemy that justifies a ukrainian regime change there is no such anime but that's just my opinion.

i am. feeling its location to my voice your liver. gets to my knees but there's always room for an extreme situation before the usually it's the weather and when we take off we can never be sure that we are coming back that's all. i want to call it the only thing i remember is my brother and cousin carrying me everything else was like in a tree. in full bloom saying i should bow to the dwellers of the rock. at the stop the store the noble thing that you want my people will die. and the storms.

do agree to missiles the night said his traditional minutes tens of children in one of the most distant areas of the arctic peninsula. there's nothing many kilometers all around but a desert of snow. breeders crossed the tundra with their herds of domestic deer in search of new pastures. they'll cover hundreds of kilometers a year regardless of the weather. a day a breed as passport just says young wild tundra instead of a regular address with house number and street. i was born on this land of yours my father lived here and i've died i took his place.
