the force of russia. as it's one of the closest. it's a popular day trip enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of tourists every year. people have lived in this area of russia for over twenty five thousand years the city was founded in eleven o eight by order of law to be a match for the city gets its name of a new research suggests the city is even older back to the tenth century regardless of which founding date is the most accurate the city's most historical significant events occurred around two hundred years later. mother mia had little political influence throughout the region until it rose in significance off to the crown was transferred from soused to the town here does that involve the name change the entire principality from rostov through still to sue's to. the golden gate was erected in eleven sixty four i was the outstanding symbol of the city its witness

everything from celebrations to tragedies and. over the entrance it's huge oak goes with it as you can see. today the city is full of life tourist buses zoom past the sights and snap happy tourists take photographs of new buildings that stand next to ancient and historical structures that are centuries old is happy harmony makes a fascinating city what it is today. it was a store in the back streets in the hillside areas behind the main assumption cathedral not only will you see impressive use here but the locals relax meet friends and family sing songs and paint. consider tourney it's so nice to come and relax here with friends in the fresh air surrounded by impressive architecture. is roughly one hundred and eighty kilometers from moscow the best way to get here is by car if you don't have your own transport like teach to train. being stationed

three times a day. the magnificent golden white some shifty jewel is the main highlight it was built in eleven fifty seven and became the main model for cathedrals all over russia it was the principal place where the princes of ancient russia were crowned and as a sign of political and religious power it can be seen from kilometers away. as you examine the history of lousy mia you find that at every corner you'll encounter interesting facts figures legends and stories there are also dozens of monuments spread throughout the city this one here is a bloody mess with the slum a bitch also known as bloody mia the red sun. the best feel of the entire area is from the top of the belfry sadly it's close to the public but fortunately the church officials have invited me to take a look the original belfry burned down when i was struck by lightning so it was replaced with what you see today the brickwork is over two hundred years old i hope

this wooden staircase isn't arriving slightly out of breath at the top when met by a selection of impressive bells and just look at these incredible views. and that's brings us to our guest straight into or is just months right is on his first visit to russia to skate the madness and mayhem of most here's a sample the delights of the golden ring turin time he wants the second one to be disappointed. if it's. time in moscow which is just completely different to. different anything i expected i mean it's unbelievable i was expecting snow and rain and minus temperatures and then i come through. the. gates as well as this place here it's completely out of this sort of traditional. really sort of.

and even a. beautiful and surprising. so in this new russian village australian friend said softly explore what there is to say. between people that. backpackers in new york or london. always make sure you know what type of getting. renovation conditioning is needed

during the. different statements as you can see here. and having inside the main here at the hotel let's say something so traditional. e.g. you didn't. need any. please i'm sorry. if. there are several suggestions we have for you the same. history architecture and. founded in one hundred fifty six such museums in russia. in the region. including several unesco heritage sites the war and history display

of the museum is located inside the golden gate tower if you choose lots of armor and weapons from the twelfth to the nineteenth centuries also information about some of the region's most important military people can be found in the museum highlights of the display inside the gates is a dire rama recreating the events of the year twelve thirty eight when tuttle's among those invaded russia and seized let him hear. another suggestion of where to stay cool is inside these sumption cathedral as it's one of the most important churches in the country the interiors are impressive and grand it's decorated with frescoes mosaics and icons the highlight being several valuable religious masterpieces one of the most worshiped holy relics of the russian church is on display here the vladimir icon of the mother of god. the fifteenth century frescoes by famous russian i come painter and they rubinoff also attract many admiring businesses to the religious sites.

and if you think you've seen all the sights and blood in me then the top worry as the town goes who soundly is also close by with its peaceful lake in quaint village it's a time travelling journey to the past there's also a holiday center in the town offering you the experience of being closer to the region's nature to enjoy outer activities like hiking in the woods cycling and canoeing at the camp just don't forget to have your mosquito repellents and sun cream with you. people for decades mistakenly translate to cusco stanley as crystal goose in english however new research suggests it comes from the word for the tree in old slavic language founded in seven hundred fifty six it only has a population of around sixty thousand but it's known throughout russia for its famous glass factory. and thomas formed around the plant in the eight. century at

that time glass was mostly used just by the wealthy so the factory aimed at producing it for the masses to use in the every day lives. here is ready feel the heat from this place the life thousand people working here without health care is a third just under labor that his various items from drinking glasses vases. it's amazing that inside such industrial and brush setting they can produce ice and suit jackets and peaceful. process hasn't changed much over the past two hundred years items are so how made by skilled local workers. this delightful building in the town is constructed as a judge at the end of the nineteenth century during the soviet times it was closed like thousands of others around the country this church here became government offices and the cinema it wasn't until ninety three that it became

a museum and. there are thousands of glass items here ranging from the eighteenth century onwards representing the history and development of the factories craftsmanship that there was a tradition of giving crystal artworks is gifts to their guests town and also important and famous people in russia for example these crystal table lamps decorated with emblems of all the soviet republics represented just two million see sometime later a similar land was given to. cosmonaut yuri gagarin visit our museum the people of chile presented him with a beautiful was made in the shape of a soaring bird now this moss is on display at the space museum in star city and the candidates will be here. piecing together a modern day russia spectrum of stark and cultural wonders i'm witnessing true russian country life in the past and present i think also helps many westerners untangle the knots they have regarding life so enjoy the summer sun bright. the

a ha ha ha ha ha loses the tabs on how to have a problem of my mum when the government since tanks. on my flat. right hook. up i will be killing and for them to come ashore is that so much about the taxpayers' money lending it is a shame and even a lot of people out here am sweating it out on a good part of the world is experiencing a crippling heat wave is this a trend or simply freaky weather one. coming into the future seem doable it's just received speech from a cinema and landed in your living room shot on specialises street the streets are stereo display the life glasses no problem potentially some of the three d. function she updates year.

so you saw the.

forest fires raging in russia killing up to twenty one people in a record breaking heat wave homes have been destroyed and thousands of fled struggle to stop the flames from spreading. emergency crews work around the clock in china to recover thousands of barrels of highly explosive chemicals from before they reach russia chinese authorities say the containers are all tightly sealed and pose any threat. living in fear many keeping some behind bars indefinitely despite the european court of human rights saying the country's preventative detention system is illegal it sees violent criminals remain in prison even after their official sentence has ended until they're deemed fit for

release. or in time for the sporting news with natalia. well welcome to the sports news and see someone and these are the headlines i've example of secure is russia's third gold medal at the european outlet exchanges ships with the best man's high jump of the season. now despite missing some of their key players russian basketball team are in good form beating last event in a world of opera had over the world championships. and a new tiger woods was born seventeen year old wabi wyatt wins his fourth consecutive junior championship in alabama shooting an amazing fourteen on the par around of fifty seven in the pros. but we kick off with football where russian side c.b. made

a good start in the first taste of european football the siberian outfit beating up a lonely masala one male at home in the third qualifying round of the europa league the same as they did with the winner in the seventy fourth minute them their return leg is at lima seoul next thursday the fifth of august. meanwhile european heavyweights liverpool and event us now have lots in common after disastrous seasons new managers at the helm and in the early start to their europa league campaigns however the newly appointed coach of the mess is side as as he has played with a result of the match where a boy of macedonia were beaten to nail with a brace from david gold. they were very satisfied i think it was. over again which could have been very difficult force within the field the crowd of the fantastic. four were very very supportive the team quite good at least twelve were good. it's . the summer well it was played today or used to play for the prequel did with fish

too much. but i was really pleased with the way it will want to build their business will you please do. that we can go back to our crew with. a margin of victory which you do very well is to be a little bit more comfortable there than how we lost your door here today. and that was a fast competitive game on the new manager for you venters. man got there where nova shamrock rovers with no real trouble brazil and strike up a moment as man of the match story twice just thirty minutes and after a needs want to with his competitor india go hit with the ball past the irish keeper and i'm already in that the a second of the night with a hat or sealing the final score. i must say i'm over it had a good performance he worked well i have always thought he was an important player for juventus he may have years when his scoring fewer goals but his strength his movement is very useful to the way we play and today he played excellently he scored two goals hit the post but aside from this he helped the defense he work

like everyone else and i think the team today played well for the timing in which it was brought to do these preliminaries for europa league. now russia got their preparations for the upcoming basketball world championship solve a great start with a solid win over the last of david blas side had fewer problems as they would eased to an eighty nine points to sixty eight victory which is on pole flat as this report rusher a long shot to win this year's world championships which got underway at the end of august in turkey and three kirilenko will be making the trip full of a key mentum a famous golf and we were looking on from the sidelines how the russians head coach is confident both will be available situation as we're waiting for the approval of the n.b.a. . as far as his insurance is concerned which i believe is forthcoming in the next few days victor yet an injury at the end of last season. that required some

extended recovery time so we decided to bring him along very slowly you know he's been in camp the last week but basically just training individually with the gore sharks. and in the next few days i think we'll start to get him into some live five or four or five were killed be he'll be ok and obviously he's a big addition to the team when he comes now to provide to the opposition has been signed played a first competitive match ahead of the world's a team from the baltic states have a plenty of practice already is paid prepare for their own competition and the visitors would get off to a good start against a sluggish russian side as well when toned russia's defense began to pick up on an i would say spirit but finally may have found a solution for his problem position of playing gone as a twenty one year old had quite an impact i thought that she had started the game because of the work that he did in the mini camp back in june and because of the work that he's done in the first two weeks of the preparation so he was on the court because he deserved to be on the court that he needs to keep working he got

a little bit away from himself for the second half but that's natural for a kid loses concentration those are welcome return back to the cold of the two sashes column but on cd which we both got married recently count had little. saying time a bit and say that surely made his mark on the mind of its very impressive vantage point on the bus. through russia's class began to talisman much progress as randy a struggled to cope with death for russia's roster to keep a clear bond of its particular affected in the pain later on russia's head coach was particularly pleased with his side's performance i think in the last three years we've shown that we're team that can do things on the fours and we could play defense and you can rebound the ball you got a chance to be in any game now we're going to play against better teams in this war . but. for the first rehearsal we showed the kind of defense in the kind of rebounding that we need in order to be a successful team and also we have the part in the spirit of the russian nationals

and that's what we want this russian side may be lacking any world class stars but it's certainly playing to team spirit in our society by twenty seven captain city because of its build its plant on the telly footage on the set of coming season in the early with him he says russia have the potential to cause an upset in the upcoming world championships. you're we are a young team and we won't be under any pressure when we take to the court in turkey what we've got some talented players and if everything goes well for us we can certainly surprise a few people so that they can stop russia with this eighty nine boys sixty eight big tree and they'll set up a sign person of week's time to continue their preparations defensively plant side look good to have to sharpen up more often simply as bill struggled to score points against better teams but will come up again sample worlds which i'm told we don't see. saying the basket on the team received another blow on the eve of the championships coach david plotz as front man j.r.

holden well be going to psyche holder's decision to sit out the event follows a similar move by russia captain but it couldn't get to and leaves the team without a make sure lies play out as it's all. he had to invent for the first time since two thousand down three teams are allowed to add one form that is narrow stock holder who plays but says the russian took floyd's all the championship winning shot for russia and the euro bosky two thousand and seven animals also part of the sport at the beijing olympics a year later. i thought it's now where russia won the gold on day three of the european championships in barcelona the team now tops the overall table with nine medals example of claiming the top honors in the men's high jump of a world leading mark of two meters thirty three centimeters so both the stars. go for the reigning world and european the champion wildly mark burnett to cross. over to malta sports and make a head of money and has clocked the fosse the style in the shakedown for the rally

a fan months before dr who. his home with and last year needed just two minutes and two point two seconds to complete the task track however that was just one town for every second week of one teammate and compadres months involved and reigning champions to boston of france and obviously try and draw us about here was one tenth of a second for the back oh she is currently second overall fifty one winds behind to finish my third and fourth spots. all to golf now and the alabama boys stay junior championship by a teenager bob the wild card today fourteen on the par fifty seven thought to be a new world record wide showing no signs of disappointment after losing in the first round at last week's news june i am a tear the alabama native shooting a nine on their twenty six on the front nine and he then reached a remarkable fortune on the ball when his spot on seventeen found the bottom of the

cup why it also went on to win the event with a final round of one on the seventy on friday securing his fourth straight boys stage junior championship the x. the same however there is always room for improvement. believe it or not as they always say you leave a couple no matter what this your score is you have to couple out there at fifty seven yes. i can always get better i guess there's always room for improvement so i began with the zone as they say i guess you said i was seeing. everything there was good but went in for a lot of. twenty six on the front yes. it's like a video game not quite and there is just a full tide to go before singapore hosts the fast ever youth and picks from the fourteenth to the twenty sixth of august more than five thousand young athletes from all over the globe will be competing in twenty six disciplines with
