because they participate in political life. under this patronage, the church's influence strengthened flexing hard and soft power. using the law, orthodox leaders had an opera production, banned for desecrating symbols. the theatre's director were fired. this august, the journey hit the cinemas. it's an animation, a collaboration between the russian orthodox fund and tells the story of a spiritual conversion. and there's this, vladimir it's a vast and controversial statue taking place in the workshop. a powerful church-sponsored symbol of the unity of the orthodox christianity and the state. prince vladimir combined two sides. on one side he was a saint, and

a baptiser of russia. on the other hand he was a prince. conflictor of lands. two lives, spiritual life and a governmental, military life. so a statute to a collector of lands who happened to be christian on crimea's rocky shores. built during the leadership of a man who collected crimea and returned it to russian rule. they thanked the church for boosting patriotism. a sign they are returning russia to an age-old model where kremlin and church work together. to shore up state power. >> it's impossible to divide russian and orthodox christianity. i don't know what was the first. the basis of russian civilisation was orthodox. orthodox religious traditions. >> nearly two centuries ago russia was defined as a country built on three core principles.

orthodoxy, autocracy and nationality. russia today is different to the russia of the 1830s. echos of that mission statement remain. they seem to be getting louder. two days of heavy rain in mumbai brought the city to a stand still. a down pour flooded roads and triggered massive traffic jams. we have more. >> reporter: in is how people in mumbai are trailing in the city. it's an improvement from friday. that's when 500mm of rain 10% of the total fell on the city. bringing cars trains and people to a halt. commutes that would normally take 30 to 40 minutes, took four to six hours as everything moved slowly through the water. the day after things aren't much better. yesterday it was raining so heavily. they were not able to go to where we were.

pakistan, a country not known for football prowess, backing a bronze medal changed the lives of the young team. promises from the government are yet to be honoured as kamal hyder reports from karachi. >> reporter: after scoring a third position in the street world cup, the pakistani team won admiration not just from here but across the world. most of the children came from broken homes, some with drug addiction problems abandonment, and living rough on the streets of karachi. a city riddled by violence. but it was the efforts of the foundation and a college with three months to train the team to participate in the tournament in brazil. they say they are hopeful that the team will do well in the upcoming july-norway cup well. interestingly, this is an example that street children can

be rehabilitate if the government and society at large are willing to help them out. >> translation: if the government supports the boys i think they can prove to the world that they can change their lives through sports, like the footballers that went to brazil. >> there has been claims by the government officials, including the government which promised them money. months have passed. nothing is to be seen. none of the children are held by the government at large. >> some promises are fulfilled. many were not. we received a part of the money. >> these children have not just won a great victory or triumph for football, but for the street children of pakistan. >> south korea reported three cases of middle eastern respiratory syndrome. the total number climbed to 169. 25 died so far. it's the biggest outbreak of

international yoga day on a grand scale. >> yoga has under gone popular secularization over the decades. now you are listening it to a particular culture and party. that's a problem. secondly, when you talk about cohesion, there's an implicit cohesion bureaucrats signalled and asked to come. there are schoolchildren organizations paid a lot of money, not to say it's illegal, but paid a lot of number. considering problems were enormous you wonder whether it makes sense to spend so much funny on celebrating international yoga day. >> secondly we are told that yoga is good for health. here is the government which had a 20% cut in health care in the last financial year. 20 person cut is huge considering that the world's poor are living in india.

you wonder what it is all about. and an one hand you talk about yoga is good for health on the other, you are cutting financial allocation. there's a bit of a gap there. so in a sense you have to prioritise what you are - in terms of what is - what do people need and i don't think celebrating yoga at a scale will help. apart from the gurus. one of the world's top divers won the red bull cliff fiving series again. reigning champion gary hunt continues a winning streak in denmark on saturday. he's won all four events. blake aldridge finished second, and colombia's orlando duke claimed the third spot. >> a british army parachutist had a lucky escape after his team-mate caught him when his shoot failed to open. the red devils were forming at
