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 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 home in the n.h.l. but goals from. then. put the usa to one up before it was on hand again to level matches at two 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 off the words that he was surprised that the goal didn't stand now it was a physical. contest between two fierce rivals the game of eventually 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 as crazy as the back and forth game. score which where they scored. so it was it was a good game as a hard 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 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 as hockey players you want to play like that 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. when i leave here. with a friend of mine just to see the match we're very disappointed we hold our team will

still show their worth at these games for the spin of. 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 come at it like a true score when the best country we haven't had a machine after so many events there are some long guys don't let us down next time the whole of sochi the whole country is cheering for you. the game was great the guys did well our captain is the best we can still do it i have no doubt about that and he added that if this deal is there we've got reaction too from pavel bure a internationally renowned ice hockey veteran who was noted his days the russian rocket when he played in the n.h.l. he told us the competition we're seeing right now is as good as it gets but shell ok charles i'd rather see all the best players in the world come here and play for a conference so paul said if i would. extend the same thing go world cup and the

soccer you know was going to win it you know brazil's paid me but we're friends we have some way to good teams that's why everybody what you're going to enjoy. and so what else what you are going was my a very old colleague in this and now i she rushed back into the studio to give us her impressions of the contest between these two hockey power. it was an intense. match to watch all together partly rooting for russia because they are the underdogs and they haven't won for twenty years so so much controversy is kicked off tonight on social media indeed there was a goal which of course was counted as a goal by the refs on the ice it was then notified by the international ice hockey federation because the goalposts was a little bit off its pegs so basically a huge debate going on right now on social media from the american ambassador moscow to russian diplomats i mean people i talk he is a political sport because when you look back to the history of the cold war so it's getting a bit intent out there. who is one of russia's highest ranking supporters told him

this is the found shouldn't be downhearted by any of this chief of staff of presidential administration so he gave a nod said that with a week still to go the complete should be keeping its pockets open for yet more medals including. of course today wasn't next week is going to was a good game i liked it i'm still emotional because i came to a straight after the game. well it was an equal game it was a tough game it was tied and those penalty shots it's like lottery you've never guess and besides the game didn't mean much from the final standings point of view so russia still has a very good chance. well that optimism should many of the home fans particular the results in other events on saturday russia no indeed top's the overall medal permed here is how that happened from paul again. there was plenty

to cheer for our 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 track 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 to win the men's one thousand meter short track speed skating it was a great tactical display by the russian geo who led from start to finish they took the lead early and didn't look back victor 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 glory of now those additions to the tally have moved russia third in the overall medals table germany and switzerland have more golds but the host nation now has more medals than any other country yes there's

a great use for russia there but things didn't look at all so rosy when it emerged that russian ski cross race maria was son of a broken spine during a training session the twenty three year old had to undergo a six and a half hour emergency surgery to repair the damage but thankfully it will keep the thinkers cause they say the procedure was a success and cover some of it is in a stable condition now she wasn't alone either in front of the course is tough those taking part in the women's super g. skiing suffered some misfortune to force gates penalties so athlete after athlete miss out on a chance at the medals in all in five eighteen of the forty nine ski is taking part didn't finish and i spoke to roberta cassel and he's a peruvian cross-country skier who competed in the event despite having a broken rib. it was a very very tough race for me it was a long one and i was expected to go away given the broken dangerous.

when i crossed the finish line. a lot of support. that came from peru from even from the goal winner or 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 improves and i will give you is what i say to them well thank you very much for all that. it took me a long time a lot of pain but we're through. it was worth it. i hope you can use this message for a better use. so much support back home. well meantime the sochi olympics are being scouted by other major sporting organizations including formula one officials and consultants to the premier racing brand to be judging the city and its authorities in the way they've handled the olympic games so i go by what they've been telling us anyway they're pretty enthusiastic about seeing those race cars more in a row. 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 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 formula one project you know that really shines through everywhere you are here now between all the cheering and the sports visitors nothing like need of course to unwind and relax fortunately sochi is not just the olympic host but also the capital of black sea nightlife modern and has been out on the tiles after the. metals locked away from their home the sun has set and it's time to party there are tens of thousands of new visitors here 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 it up and whether you want to mingle with celebrities elites night clubs who fancy something a little more traditional like an english pub can be hard pushed to feel left out so get your dancing shoes on let you head down and see after midnight. very popular with locals and visitors you can listen to various like music from jazz to contemporary electronica. or open twenty four seven ideal for energetic tourists was a very positive surprise because it's really very well organized around here. that would be alive only during the summer months. in winter.

infrastructure and all athletes are very pleased russia is renowned for its bible and nightlife culture and the hip and happening after hours the use of such an odd no exception from the sizzling sure to the cool snowy peaks she's got you know night out covered. so them from rocky to the pubs and clubs to rock from space what we're talking about will day eight of the olympics also have a special significance in that it is exactly a year since that massive meteorite struck me in the urals and in memory of those who made the podium ascent to get a second set of medals each one with a tiny little bit of the beach right embedded in them unfortunately though not stored away we can reveal the i.o.c. the international in piccadilly being the stickler to tradition that they rightfully ours say you can give the athletes whatever you want just not true in the games they insist that only awards to be recorded during the games are to be

the original goal the silver or the bronze so there you go those beautiful pieces have to wait just a little while longer before they reach the victorious of those. so days has seen its share of both hardys and lows as we've revealed we've seen a few disappointments as well as resoundingly success too but we've also witnessed great bravery from injured athletes what is clear the competition here is stepping up a big notch join us again if you can for a day nine of the twenty fourteen winter olympics. so g twenty fourteen promises the alternate in the exhilarating winter sports in our. story and it's now a make over now and the rest of our lives they can use team for sochi twenty four take. on art. you're caught up on the olympics we've got more news to come after a short break down where you're watching our two international.

in the final. and the rest. will be.

a pleasure to have you with us here today. welcome back you're watching our team international now and time may be running out for a russian pilot jailed in the u.s. this is according to his lawyer constantine go has been refused of vital medical help despite being at death's door and even now top russian officials are urging washington to intervene as. the reports. first 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 constantini russian. 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 experience and 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 to the 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 or with 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 is 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 constantine your i shan't go sad that he might not live through the we can kiss condition requires immediate medical attention you know who was arrested in twenty ten 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 the kind of arrogant attitude that washington has toward other countries and particularly to other countries for a nap. doing white washington less to dictate to them to do the prisons system of the united states the largest prison system on the planet the highest rate of prisoners of any country lives is the number in both absolute terms in relative terms how does bono tell our notoriously. disregarding of the rights of

prisoners even the most fundamental rights including the ritual to live. moscow has been insisting all along that the way your case has been handled regardless of whether he committed the crime or not is a gross violation of human rights probably very beginning. so if you are. speaking mr abbas has been absolutely. we have expressed very serious concern we have for the u.s. government that. they are under 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 shankar himself lives to receive that help. r.t. the russian pilot's a case is not out of the ordinary in the u.s. prison system now according to the u.s. department of justice more than forty five thousand people died in custody in the space of a decade some of them didn't even live to face any of the charges. of the prison legal news alex friedman told r.t. that keeping inmates alive isn't always a priority in american 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 there might not be a doctor at the prison that weekend so they have to wait until the next week to see medical staff. go receive the 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 always most stories on our t.v. dot com including italy lightning and the burden on its overcrowded prisons. by overturning a law that would marijuana alongside cocaine and heroin in the eyes of the law could free around ten thousand inmates currently serving sentences related to soft drugs. and the mystery of the martian rock of it appeared in red planet pictures seemingly out of nowhere is solved you can head to our tea dot com for good explanation of the phenomenon.

israel's borders with its arab neighbors are some of the most heavily fortified on earth but within israel israel itself and the society there's no shortage of tension between jews and muslims arabs that make up a fifth of the country's population and as artie's publicly 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 attempted 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 ryan 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 iris 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 one of the police didn't even ask him didn't even check of the air was dead or not the scales of justice amin to balance in this scale. except for we seem to insist for killing a jewish terrorist in this scale back doing praised for killing an arab terrorist but do they even know. israeli know and it's son adoption late feels if anything they took two boys i would speak featured ninety one years she feels to me and so for me and he's code accused should have received a conscious sentence and as i would say it's a disgrace people who kill someone was hence our time in the back. who is not a frat any more a little political trial it's

a pure america the conviction sends a message that the arab community they are 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 every. now take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world this hour in bahrain a policeman who has died of his injuries after he was wounded in a bomb explosion during friday's anti-government protest authorities there say more than two dozen opposition activists have been arrested in clashes with police demonstrations marking the third anniversary of an uprising that sought to get equal rights for shia muslims from the sunni one part of. violent storms have whipped northwest france killing one man and leaving one hundred thousand homes without electricity the elderly victim slipped on board a cruise liner being buffeted by gusts of up to one hundred fifty to one hour off

tana group wants to erect a statue to the lord of darkness in oklahoma city which is the logical name capital of the whole of the sickness want to build the monument of a goat headed devil in or despite a monument to the ten commandments that was put up in two thousand and twelve yet they maybe shouldn't have put up of honor into the ten commandments on public property but does that mean that satanists and nazis the other wackos have the right to put up their own twisted monuments well that is it depends on how you look at things technically it was to liberalism everyone's beliefs by law are equal even if ninety nine people are christian and they cannot impose on that one poor seat n'est which sounds nice but in reality that means that those ninety nine christians have to tolerate a monument to the infernal master and defiler of the innocent on their way to work every morning part of having a culture means having a group of people of common beliefs and values it just include anything into the culture the new no longer have a culture all that remains are scattered individuals all i'm trying to say is that
