a chance to win the world is in in two thousand and six russia got a great start of an found finland in the semifinals and got knocked out i mean so it's a marathon not a sprint it is you know it's unpredictable less the libby gives something go over you know can i didn't do well in the beginning going to want to go for a while so was going to have just a few questions from our facebook users of this question what's more important getting experience in the n.h.l. all the places playing collectively in russia to help the russian team in general what's happened in the soviet union for instance thinking that things hopefully different is in the chilean you play for the club over here and wait for the conscious is different from right but also from timmy houses of who is your chief childhood hero when you were growing up. so many players to choose from you know obviously older guys who used to play in the soviet union you know cheer missional team. really like the one greats this question from ross fraser well he's someone

who's new to the sport of ice hockey so what makes someone. talking such grace for someone of a because for some award in your opinion. because we've got it all you know it's. it's really exciting to watch the fight game so you know it's a great spirit part that's flying around you know and you can hear that you're there so it's such a good. obviously you played the first olympics and i'm going to in one thousand nine hundred obviously you don't want to play much earlier on how crucial are. players to be limping movement in hockey because there's talk obviously of maybe n.h.l. players not playing in four years time when i when i was going to happen from the future as you said making money in the first i mean you were in the chill stop the season for couple weeks and all the bills this players in the world were disappeared for the tournament and it was a conference it was of this group i gave i was a legendary ice hockey player and we cannot cross start our correspondent andrew farmer who's in a very for the rosa khutor at the moment that's right thanks richard the weather

hope to see more meanwhile the. jamaican see who are making their first appearance in this event for just over a decade. lost at the moment but they did receive the second biggest cheers the night after the russians elsewhere attention is again on russian figure skaters this time in the ice dance not because. of the currently in third place with just the free dance to come tonight we caught up with them before these games began and they told us what they thought they needed to do to achieve success i think is going to be there. then what's important thing before the olympics because there's so much topic talking so much people to help or who don't want to help and you need to just do your work do you work and do what you want to do what you need to. listen to the people like so many people just listen for your team like you're preparing and poor and they know what to do so i hope it's going to work together

they are definitely focused i do like have to say the ice dancing is a bit like ballroom dancing on ice very therapeutic to watch but you can be rest assured the russians will be busting a gut inside to try and catch the canadians virtue and moir and the americans davis and white you currently lead the charge to go. our seas and your farm reporting from the mountain cluster their people from all those two hundred countries are watching the balance with television viewing figures at record levels according to olympic committee to fish bowls and it's not just the size of the audience that's breaking records as much as any some our reports from our very own such as changing . by the ten days of the olympic competition have seen a number of sporting breakthroughs and record breaking results russian figure skating stars to. set a new world record with their short program their flawless skate received eighty four points seventeen points the highest ever score and another record was sealed on ice by nineteen year old japanese figure skater you're through how can you

the u.k. estimates more than two hundred british bays jihad ists one to find if they were showing a wash alesana syria have returned home and not pose a significant terrorist threat. takes up the story. it's causing huge concern here amongst the security services of police have said that they've made a number of arrests and they're monitoring the situation closely indeed ingenue it's thought that sixteen arrests have been made of people having returned back the irony here of course is that the british governments want the assad regime to go they've been pushing for transition and they've been supplying non-lethal aid to the rebels so technically they are on the same side as the jihadists who are fighting the assad regime and the british fighters who are joined those jihad is the concern those calls is that the five terrorists the isis. of the

british citizens that are joining these tweets that the real worry is that obviously was they're fighting with the again these skills they're becoming indoctrinated and the real worry is that once the fights in syria if it is five learned they could return home and then the target could become citizens. meanwhile the british minister of immigration and security has responded to the report dreams of brokenshire says their sources are applying the so-called prevent strategy to tackle domestic radicalization and the inflow of foreign fighters and groups please the power to examine and detain individuals at the u.k. border to investigate any concerns of terrorism involvement. a string of apparent suicide house trying the financial world with five senior executives taking their lives in one week after his tests are sealing investigates . there are untimely deaths grab headlines three of which happened within

a week be it the big investment banks they work for the senior positions they held the public nature of their deaths or all three once again it raised questions. about an industry largely blamed for bringing the global economy to its knees in a two thousand and eight financial crisis michael taylor a former goldman sachs bond salesman who calls himself a recovering banker knew this world well it's so extraordinarily competitive and so focused profit above all in so transactional that every moment like pressure turns carbon into diamonds you know extreme pressure can both accelerate human achievement in some cases break people the pressure and calling the shots the form of banking we've got at the moment have no interest in the papal effects. because in a sense legally responsible to invest and stock holders you make

a moral decisions without thinking about the impact that it has on the people job losses people losing their home and so on and so forth pressure to rake in profits or the pressure to put in more hours than your peers after the spate of recent deaths big firms did try to by telling their junior staff to take more time off or at least to try not to work on weekends it's kind of a disconnect between what they have the weekend off will also make us a ton of money and ultimately making a ton of money is what's going to keep you around so now you strike me as a real solution you're a sly and spent a year demystifying bankers interviewing dozens of fine us workers on the condition of anonymity the degree to which bankers are trapped has been really really important finding i think we keep them projecting this idea on bankers are masters of the universe they have everything we want but if you look at their actual life they can be fired in five minutes this is

a deeply dysfunctional and ought to be abusive system so there is this real taboo in banking like the army to own up to one soldier ability. does or so you're r.t.e. london. europe is pushing for its own internet free from american monitoring the movement is spearheaded by german chancellor angela merkel who said to seek backing from the french president later this week she proposed to change the current setup under which a huge volume of internet data at secular rates among the same greece often vie the united states so a message sent by one european online user ten another can potentially have a very long journey before reaching is this a nation passing through multiple points and you communications network would allow data to bypass the established routes and reportedly offer european web users better protection but a member of the german private party fabio rinehart believes michael is approaching

the issue of u.s. surveillance in the wrong way the idea of european internet wouldn't affect the problems that we see with the n.s.a. and with the five eyes alliance with other secret services spying on the on its own citizens and on and on other citizens that it wouldn't hurt at all. we have the problem the secret services around the world are collaborating with each other the problem has to be soft on the political level it's a political problem there we have to talk about it and if. it would really want to solve this problem and would really care about the data protection of their citizens then she could for example. talk to the united states stop of the free trade agreement that is being debated right now this is something that could put pressure on the united sates and this is something that would give us a position where we can start a diplomatic international process. the band together is pumping huge sums of money

into africa in the hope its troops weapons and must in a raise will turn a land of conflict into a land of hope and you can see here american military bases are spread all across the continent here the main outposts on the horn of africa is that camp broods he is north of somalia it's now hosts more than four thousand military personnel and contract is also thousands of u.s. soldiers are reportedly preparing for missions as part of the pentagon's new strategy to train and advise a regional forces policy investigates what could be behind washington's military brutes. hundreds of millions of american dollars are flowing into africa as the pentagon upset spending on the continent there's plenty of war materials here nigeria a case in point the west african nation is america's fourth largest supplier of crude oil accounting for eleven percent of all u.s.

oil imports we have made it has a lot of investment in that they have invested so much in the oil sector and they need to protect that and that believes rafsanjani is the real reason for u.s. troop expansion in africa not to bring democracy not to help the local populations but to protect american interests and justify the reasons for being here the governess in syria or to lead to you know the collapse of. you know accountability. and of course you know dubai is the difference to show the kind of make up a crisis in the country. by that you know it is to me it in terms of american part of policy reasons to actually come into nigeria africa's dotted with u.s. bases and a growing constellation of small american drone outposts camp limo near north of somalia has been america's main facility on the continent for nearly

a decade it houses about four thousand military and civilian personnel but at the end of last year it was forced to stop flying drones in the area after a string of crashes and growing anger from locals problem is u.s. forces are getting stretched very thin they're being tasked with missions will be on their numerical logistics capability right now and then danger will have to go like all forward and actions in new conflicts expand and all the next thing you know certainly your troops and money to sustain these missions. u.s. secretary of state john kerry says it's happening in africa so exciting overall and we are really deeply engaged and the president. has instructed us to really try to. lighten our fire under our efforts

throughout but what's not so exciting is the growth of jihadists and anti western groups across the continent thousands of american soldiers are gearing up for missions as part of the pentagon's new strategy to train and advise african militaries to deal with the threat it's not impressing those who live here. the americans have failed to combat terrorism in afghanistan or anywhere else and the same will happen here in west africa it's likely that their presence even bring the terrorists to senegal but the president does this calculation saying well this will allow me to be a good friend of the united states maybe attract some investment or strengthen my security forces that from the point of view of the senegalese people we risk losing our norful lot is a number of african leaders have expressed concern about the potential militarization of the continent fearful that america's expanding presence will bode badly for africa and her people. r.t.

i just first state of the city address new york mayor bill de blasio said that he would put forward legislation for the city to issue special municipal identification cards to undocumented immigrants he summed up his feelings by saying to all my fellow new yorkers who are undocumented i say new york city is your home too and we will not force any of our residents to live their lives in the shadows yeah that sounds nice but the reason these illegal immigrants live their lives in the shadows is because they immigrated illegally why should new yorkers bend over backwards for illegal criminal immigrants this is the same logic that if i catch a guy breaking into my house as a gracious host i should offer him a pizza because it's his home too this is not just a slap in the face to rule of law but also to the immigrants who do go through the bureaucracy and headaches to become u.s. citizens the right way the legal way so the blasio if you're going to provide these illegal immigrants with some sort of document it should be a plane ticket back home with instructions on how to apply for a green card the legit proper way just like everyone else has to fashion just my opinion.
