team is andrew farmer i'm sure he was watching the mat match and i want to talk a little bit about the third period that goal for russia that put the score up to three two but was then nullified by the international ice hockey federation what do you think was a fair call. well look there are official statements that's come out is said that if the goalposts were moved off their moorings before that part went in then it is not and that's what happened so i can't say there's going to be much room for complaint about that even though many people are disappointed i mean just to add to your comments it was a captivating game many of the reports i've read this morning have said that it is oh it was international hockey at its best it is very unfortunate that russia were on the wrong end of a three two defeat to be united states but look there's no need to be despondent because they are still on course to make the second round they are still second in

their group and today they will play the same vacuums who've lost both of their opening game so russia should win that one i don't think there's any need to be too pessimistic can certainly many of the fans we spoke to were upbeat. almost when i came here with a friend of mine just to see the match we're very disappointed and we hope our team will still show their worth of these games in the. this isn't the last going to russia will deliver yet we just have to believe in the hope and cheer for the. new bulb in the mask no matter what little score random best country we have to have a machine after. come on guys don't let us down next time the whole such a the whole country is cheering for you goal russia by naive. so many of those fans i'm sure will be taking their seats again in the bolshoi i stay in the match against slovakia getting underway at sell for. thirty local time

so often it. certainly will be watching thanks for that and you just stand by there will be returning back to you in a bit of course a roller coaster of emotions for russian fans top officials included kremlin administration chiefs of gavan all have been cheering on the home side and he told me they're still firmly in the running. including cruel costs today wasn't next week is going to close a good game i looked at i'm still emotional because i came to 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're never guess and besides the game didn't mean much from the final standings point to russia still has a very good chance just. where at the

games russia has seen some major breakthrough it's now jumped from seventh to third in the medals count having bagged gold in skeleton and both gold and silver in short track speed skating let's get back now to andrew farmer in the mountain cluster quite a turnaround for us after a slow start of the games. has been hosting it and it could be a few more miles today because we've got the relays and cross-country skiing. but one thing i'd like to talk about is the fact we will see some of the greatest characters these olympics taking part in the bulbs that starts today russia's two man team includes a former world champion in arm wrestling. and he teams out with alexander zuckoff and both of those are tipped to get a medal in this event we will also see that you may contain making an appearance after just over a decade the last time they were in the olympics he did probably the making of that coach film cool runnings but this time around it is the pairing of winston watts

team to sochi twenty four take. on our team while moscow is urging washington to ensure that a russian pilot jailed in the u.s. is given an urgent medical treatment constantino his health is critical but he has been refused access to a doctor or did life here chaps kaye 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 pilot 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 heart attack because he told me he was suffocating experience and heart pain and was almost unable to walk when he felt sick they put him in lockers and left him on the cold floor oh he was offered the most flu medication and some antibiotics you know showed his lawyer told r.t. that the head doctor at the new jersey prison where he's being held will not expedite his treatment monday is. also

a federal holiday in the united states so my supposition would be that any kind of medical treatment so constantine your i shan't go could be provided only on tuesday you know i was arrested in twenty ten in liberia on suspicion of drug smuggling he was reportedly severely beaten before being transported to the us where he received a twenty year prison sentence this is something we are seeing 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 of the united states 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 shank this case has been handled regardless of whether he committed the crime or not is

a gross violation of human rights probably very beginning key so if you're a shrink it has been absolutely politicized we have expressed many famous very serious concerns having failed to get through to washington via official channels the russian foreign ministry resorted to social media and posted at. 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. still to come in the program swiss support for tighter immigration rules sparks a heated debate in the e.u. . people are coming out from to your to come from your film i know you don't that's your book shows control your articles is all we're reporting on the shop ways it's
