4:28 am
82 kilograms. i think it is your beloved my hands hurt and i got it on the had 3 children if you all are definitely going to sleep because she was separating but i was lucky my opponent fell over it was lucky for me now i can feel the adrenaline in my blood and i feel good as well as being anxious to go fishing. this kind of no holds barred fighting has only a few rules you basically keep on hitting until your opponent can no longer defend himself. kitty and shylock has been doing this sport for 2 years is nickname in the ring as the bouncer. here reputation counts fighters want to be known as the toughest the quickest and the best other nicknames include wild latino fearsome farmer mighty migrant there are believed to be tens of thousands of young men who fight line. this or similarly in russia
4:29 am
a sizable fraction of the nearly 9000000 men between 20 and 29 years old. for kids boxing is about more than just a show his phone was. used i moved from soccer to no holds barred fighting are about but it's all starting and there's a number of videos but oh well they used to be really crazy about football before the wall of but serving in the army changed me to go but again i wasn't so excited about soccer anymore so i started looking for something else. and after work i couldn't just sit around at home i needed to find an outlet for all my energy. stalling theory so i got into the ring and i won my 1st fight with the pit was shorter than the 2nd then the 3rd. kid real recognizes that the show fights are brutal but he says fighting helps him to be a nicer guy in everyday life he claims it can help prevent men from being violent in other contexts at home with their family for example domestic violence is
4:30 am
a huge problem in russia but can boxing really help protect families and society as a home. somewhere in the fun is that if there is sort of those i experience an explosion of emotion that we don't just don't like soccer hooligans when they battle for months on then there's a thirst on the bones and you know what i we don't hate each other we respect our partner but it's not on your back even when he kicks you in the head here but i was . just a novice not in a bruising i have to release the tension the tension of daily life. otherwise you start drinking like some people others turn to drugs and other type i just fade away and die because of the monotony of life in russia. so to relax some take a parachute jump in some take a drink in the butter's on your face and the 3rd kind of i guess but i thought the fight with their fists you're up on your. i guess i did it is quite.
4:31 am
somebody thought i was good it's so important for the little ones to eat well. she was the worst thing is when they don't want to eat. at the beginning they stressed out and have no appetite at the new room but soon they settle and then start leasing passengers then they begin growing and the health improves. you know what is yet the some of the children have been spoiled with sweets at home when they come here they have to eat per agency. at 1st they refuse but they have no choice and then they start easing everything goes on and tonight. just to bring useful food is coming. here is you can possibly get. so just sit down. there have.

4:34 am
a 2 day break. when children from an orphanage come in for an operation we spend the entire time with them on a surgical ward to take care of caring i think sometimes they need just 3 days to recover. but sometimes they stay for 2 months then we visit them every day the worst thing is when they start crying and calling out mama mama. it would just push them we know that from our own children from when we take them to kindergarten and that it want to stay there. it's heartbreaking to see how they don't want to let me go. but don't get ready but i have a trick i distract the kids i say i'm coming the next day i give them something to play with or something sweet to eat. you know your book with the stars they were then the nurse comes and i leave i've been toying with the bad news that helps him

4:37 am
you clearly buy it but stories like mass are part of my work would be a mistake. if i had to carry it around inside me all the time it would be unbearable to this thoughts about the car but when i tell my family about what happens to the children. they give me support. because i live with but you were bright enough of a crisis it relieves me to have my loved ones listen sorry. so i can give my warmth to my own children i knew. jim yes them. children also only see their parents rarely.
4:38 am
from june to august it's summer vacation for veronique teflon her and her schoolmates. there from my helicopter to the nomad settlements there are no roads or railway lines through the time i got here. only the trauma gun river can be traversed by boat it's named after the main hunty good. is already starting to feel a bit sad. on the one hand she's looking forward to seeing her family. but she knows she'll miss her school which is said to be one of the best. in a radius of 100 kilometers.
4:39 am
to the facade of call i started 1st grade back when the school opened we were the 1st pupils that was 10 years ago. and it hadn't gotten to this debt according to a large scale survey of young people carried out in 2018 by a russian institute with links to the kremlin most russian children would not miss their schools what do we call our traditional dwelling. oh not as a child that's right a true and in the middle of it your home is a foreign place. 7 out of 10 students surveyed said they didn't like school because they had too few subjects that were useful for their lives another study says that students in russia are more interested in environmentalists topics than in russian politics that's certainly true of vent monica tetley now and we'll find out more about her love of nature later. this week.
4:40 am
but 1st back to cosby not. to amateur fighter kid in china who faces very different problems in everyday life. this is what his working day looks like. a book with card. kill works in a small mobile phone store in a large shopping mall. under the knife. but. surely the focal point of this choice of so. mild i'm in sales and one of us has to win either me or the customer it's like in the ring. maybe there was water inside. his car while he was on a b. or a short circuit will have to change the button how soon will we know. after
4:41 am
it's been changed. a lock on my shoulder bottle but i'm bottle but i'm here to talk about 1st i worked as a security guard for a month but i was there wasn't so great because i was at the other end the talent of being noisy but then i started here 1st only once in awhile then full time and it's been good so far. good all works 12 hour shifts 5 days a week. does not mean you know thank you for it i have to make a conscious effort to stay calm but what's also important in the ring because negative emotions won't do you any good if i tell you one thing you shouldn't let your feelings take over what you need to keep you cool if you. are not on board. here at work i sometimes feel like i'm going to blow a fuse when too many customers want something it wants when they're difficult but i can let all those emotions out in the ring i am i found.
4:42 am
this and emotions are now the topic at the general middle school in the sky on. someone. so i might grow up that was not the most important thing in the dance is to show our national character you know that the motives to what. you have to look at the audience you know where to look never down the floor you guard and remember the graceful arm movements be graceful. and don't forget to look to the side to see who is going where. you got there. and smile do you feel girls have beautiful smile so here we go let you not get over it.
4:43 am
sure you have to show modesty and. not everyone was smiling like you know. i like our teachers sometimes they're strict with us but then it's our own fault. the teachers in the school only scold us if we deserve it they're pretty fair. their names is also of importance here as well as safety kid he is training for his next fight. you think if you're going to do it just i have
4:44 am
to bandage my fingers otherwise i'll have problems with my hands i could break a finger or just locate one anything could happen it's better to protect myself ahead of time but it is to finish your kid he all comes to this gym twice or 3 times a week but he doesn't have a coach. doesn't you may think you. just don't want to spend the money. for him stay when you fit in i mean i know that i do some movements incorrectly and it's not the gifts to go for example any punch you have to use your whole body but my legs are so untrained and wooden but i can't manage to do it so there's more to. bring i'm actually i should find a real trainer somewhere else is going on makes kids. go to see. if you're going to be street fighting it's usually not the perfect technique that win but event a will power in just a few days to deal with take part in the championship final and maybe in his next
4:45 am
when. you go and read write. and write. that's nice. little. moment. children need a mother and that's why we hug them. they need human warmth they have to feel that we are taking care of them so much and that helps them get well faster with the physical contact tells them that they are not alone i does not come over to us. the story of this. machine woman survived that by. the i. shall we took her us where is the green pen so we did it rode away you know it's give and take little things like them have been my past they have been
4:46 am
a son to us he shared their happiness about their 1st steps f.s. teeth your 1st words they discovered the world of the theatre. and it's a world where they are no longer so alone even if it is limited by the 4 walls of a hospital room. this is what i need this constant curling why do you. it's like a never ending childhood i do it's great she was born you know my duty we're a slew of my own children have outgrown that but i say mom stop hugging us. i tired of that kind of attention but i'm not i have so much motherly love inside me and i found an outlet for it this is a win win situation for all of us the children that have really sorry. for you.
4:47 am
the air. the children of the reindeer herders delight in scenes like this it's part of the traditional life of their parents in the tundra. the tundra biome lies north of the boreal forest the tiger woods there are hardly any trees in the tundra but lots of grass food for the reindeer and lots of room for grazing. at the boarding school the boys practice for a nomadic life with lassos instead of basketballs this course is compulsory. and complimentary to the life safety skills course and the weapons trail. and. in a few days some of the children from the school in the sky at will be hurting reindeer
4:48 am
instead of learning math. it's not a prospect that thrills. she likes the tundra but she'd rather see the reindeer in the local museum. she has mixed feelings about her upcoming trip home. in. tuned on what i don't know i rather be here than at home. here i have the girls and boys around me but i've grown up with. school i'll miss them when i'm at home. the sand it will be strange without them. i'm going to cry. but the time to say goodbye comes anyway. fish to the loose all your heart failure to the right of bench fishing rights.
4:49 am

4:50 am
got those team in the last year was 2 shows not just in the last year was when i was preparing my main focus was on endurance that's my weak point. the other is my punch. that's all survived some strength so i trained both of those things on my own since there is in the arsenal so you go to 3 or. well shows i feel like when you go gaza and you go little being there that is appreciative of potholders appreciative still but if you see a story it was a vision to be about ask you to believe the show you should draw your best course and your priority if not go with the other issues and look at the ports in it because i can tell you a little over the years it's enough for a lot more to go our form they're going to go to a position. to build on that is not going to set the family as firmly behavior as predicted other than i don't bother most of this compound the leave the body is not the mature so if you look at it i wonder if the government certainly will talk about it because. a lot. more to go.
4:51 am
through all this was bullshit so long as i will just disagree with you so. you literally are. going to dump it in the. meanwhile somewhere down there in the taiga the world's largest forest but only because family is waiting. she takes one last photo with her friends. all the pupils from the boarding school in the most. will be flown out to the non magic settlements where their parents live with their ranging. look of course it's sad when they leave but we're also happy for them they'll be

4:53 am
get upset i'm going to cut down bringing them to the table but the chutzpah to stuff them is not a cut up a little bit of a disciple not a sad sight is it likely likely. to. disappear. oh.
4:54 am
thank you. i. live in. it was a very good idea. if it takes 2 to fight to kill gets 5000 rubles cash 60 euros but for open your mouth. hurt my cheek bones hurt the bite down harder where exactly.
4:55 am
