and thanks to our viewers for watching here's on r.t. see you next time and remember cross couple. of cars. and. see. if. there is not enough space for them on the ground. zero down to. get things nonexistent under the sun. fill the gap of adrenalin. discover the deeply hidden secrets. they are seeking to. find. and even.

talking to god. from. under the ground to. her. emotions would be so much brighter if you knew about some known from finest impression some. news from stunts on t.v. dot com. wealthy british scientists i'm told seattle has moved on to the titans. margetts why not. find out what's really happening to the global.

economy is the largest on. the line from the russian council they have lying. to the pension bell the french senate passed as if it's a contest of law to raise the retirement age from sixty to sixty two after days of nationwide strike some including decades of oil refineries which led to fuel shortages across the country the final word by lawmakers and president sarkozy's radical plan is next week but you can say the time on citizens one. russian if you are certainly afghanistan is the world's greatest lesson but there's no concept between the two called the ted spread among more than a share in combat in trafficking as russia and the number one victim of the uncontrolled stand. in the russian republic of coverage you know i'll

carry a police have come to two minutes in somalia police tend to have been surrounded in a displeased at least one policeman one gun died in the operation targeting to hide out while a truck with explosives was recovered nearby. as the headlines up next will travel nine hundred kilometers from moscow to russia's once closed military city of kirov we're still. less than a thousand kilometers northeast of moscow is the city of care of its regional capital a million people and if you like places that combine the historic. this is the town for you. first isn't exactly. it was a closed military city until the fall of the soviet union and parts of the town

still feel like they belong in a bygone era but the city is developing its transport hub outside investment is starting to improve facilities here and amongst the buildings you can still find a few done in the rough. place i'm about to visit is a real institution it's one of the oldest buildings in the whole city and for more than two centuries it's been the center of the region's printing industry. books newspapers calendars magazines if you need paper princes and they get through more than forty tons every week. there's been a press here since seventeen ninety two and a living have some of the latest technology available there are still a few relics of a bygone age so i love this the fact that you get the. bits of history combined with the modern era and something that i guess would be about nineteen right with something that is spread out of the twenty first century. and in the next room

there's a machine that might easily have used it now a days it's a roll the difference is. we take it to mean they write this interim between them. strange to think that machines like this result as printing is itself and that hundreds of years ago the press was like this one might have produced the first shakespeare a good book bible this one is producing packaging for delicious nothing three. why dismiss to do this will still use. see if i can. make this one work without destroying my other. fortunately as watchful supervision i managed to escape with all my fingers intact and i headed into the modern heart of the factory . it takes six min the good twenty minutes to get this machine warmed up and once it starts it really knows how to shift. where i free to

get it ready the tree by press. one thousand and. then simply. the right to. make sure the newspaper had a section appetizing life music in the local park and it seemed like a perfect place to meet my going to the city despite his name i did some of it so it was billed and. i'm going on the first. like. one to see shoes. and he's a second school teacher a born and bred curious boy and she knows this town inside out. from this place you can see the center fence monastery you can see the bell tower and the church and there's also

a sense in which people get water. there are areas of the city that are less picturesque carol has a real problem with its roads which is supposed to be some of the worst in russia and the overwhelming color on the streets is a steely gray change has been slow but imus says that life here is starting to improve i think life became better we have a new things here we have new plans like the plans and we have. a new hospital. we have new story it's just. everything is different. and as a teacher she's very proud of their education system we have a lot of universities here and those women who study here they can find a good job. of me to school to see the facilities for myself and also to attend one of the most solemn ceremonies of the year if you're a seven year old but it's another when i was little before of going to growed up

school was a pretty scary but here in russia they have a ceremony that's supposed to make everyone feel welcome. and you get to wear some pretty cool. this is well the first years officially begin the formal education. gives the various classes a chance to show their proud mums and dads the few who teach. the little ones being welcomed into the school they run the foreign exchange program here and several students from across the glued have come to experience a russian way of life and improve their language skills. the countess the milky way it was but it has to be the other way they can do spells with feet but then i need to find another than this one is broken so to speak we seem to end up with no link

. each student comes for an academic year and after the ceremony i dropped in on a group of americans and germans having a russian lessons. for years we have yesterday here and this is. everybody this is a russian lesson muscle troy do this in russian. james. must be they're encouraged to try and immerse themselves as much as possible although of course every new city has its challenges. following the bus hoping you're rushing more the fact that you had your forced to communicate in russian life and that you have sisters and wife speaks no english and speak some english so they need things communicated it's really helpful to have a sister can communicate and translate but very things like learning the words used to make. me walk and we go to cafes and i'm going to do homework but in my city it's not the city it's

a village and there's two thousand people and there's nothing there is nothing so here is cafes here's a cinema you for squares that's better i think limits the right to live so close to sunny other people it's easier to find groups and clothes that are interested in so i merits i think in most places for your people but i don't think it's necessary at every city for the way and first and foremost they are to study and is determined when they do go home to live how the full russian experience as it is it an economic program so the main objective of the course is learning the language but it's not only the language that's we were in but also the culture and traditions of the country this to me whether or not they go home speaking like natives who go is a certainly going to be loaded down with souvenirs and you can get much more authentically care of them the. choice. lydia and her

daughter a carrying on a little tradition that started in the neighboring village of dim cover i'm goes back more than four hundred years from brightly colored milkmaids to a huge variety of animals each piece is handmade and i was about to learn some of their secrets and then we're going to put the reason why toys were made locally. was that there were many rich merchants in quito where you what they decorated homes with such toy is that in the people in didn't cover didn't have enough money to buy toys for their children e even yes we did so they supplied their children with toys made locally at the same time last year people decorated their homes with toy horses cows and the like yet been thrown upon you and i was put to work on some bird life so i have got to troy duck. is that what we do to manage here and then do it.

soon a little surgery here. look at our problems we take a piece of clay each. and do like this. that's a duck that might actually swim. i don't really. count this this. stuff is here and it must dry it's room temperature for four days if he did yeah right i thought this is a long process have to leave in drawing room temperature for more days it was the only well done item enough in p.t. and then they go in the oven and they bag but of course that's really just the start of the piece has been fired you've gone by delicate brush work to take care of so i get the bat with a bottle like. well the bear with the band or. better.

painting white i don't mind masterpiece will be joining any sales catalog but lydia has had some serious v.i.p.'s walk through her doors. walking in some pretty famous footsteps because the ladies made this run with prison. but i. only did i get to make amazing duck and. toys may have been around for centuries but the fur trade here has been going on far longer. the area is rich in mink fox and even introduced raccoon and the local clinker factory has been making the most of it. it was founded in one nine hundred ninety one and has gained a reputation for international collections and its bespoke clothing. for this we were everything star says. this is the sign with a pencil and a piece of paper he draws. jackets coats hats

from the factory employs around a hundred people who take care of the various stages of production and once the government starts to take shape it's time for the embroidery. to make the sign on lever yes so they can broad picture on it so clever. compared to the western world there's little stigma attached to wearing fur in russia and the shuba or fur coat is still a part of most women's wardrobe although if you want to pick up one of these designs you'll need very deep pockets so i guess this would be the really exclusive stuff this second is made from ship skin. so a short cut it ships skin and the lining. and here is a long wool and chip skin. in broidery made a lever. about how much would this set you back. eight hundred dollars and it goes ok this one is really unusual but it does seem.

like this where is this for i'm going to start us to hunt and make claims llama and this is why i read quite unusual and they're quite expensive. but with those coming in from across the country it seems that there are people willing to pay the high prices and a new campaign for the twenty fourteen winter olympics in sochi is likely to give chilling even more public city production is always going to be controversial but in russia it's just a fact of life when the temperatures plunge out come the schubas but if you want a new one. well that's going to cost you. but if you don't happen to have several thousand dollars just lying around there are always other ways to make money like digging forward. carries a metal detector unspayed with him everywhere he goes and it seems cure all has

a few prime spots for buried treasure. and i believe it but where we're standing there used to be a village that was abandoned forty years ago but it was actually centuries. and his friends think that's still life if you think we're finding here. that's. the metal detecting here can be a rover hazardous profession. at the really. only there are any bets. that get there. fortunately our furry friends kept their distance and we were able to start hunting everyone's been searching spots like bees for more than a decade and he's had quite a few impressive discoveries. found a medal it was made in sixty two by the russian craftsman. find is not a surprise in england there are

a lot of such metals how it appeared. to be some mystery. it wasn't long before we came on something on selves. to cope. with dreams of hidden riches running through my head i decided to have a go myself although it didn't quite work out like that. it's like a baby buzzing in you. know this. i have no. clue what that is. well this is excellent i like. this. button from an accordion. like a coin. to make something in about a year. but then the metal detector started going crazy and i was sure we were on to something

big. it's a basin. well big it wos. it was not we might not have ended up millionaires but it had been a real adventure coming out with ed watt and he left me with a few keepsakes to take home and stranger than about just a couple of. things from three different eras of the village. for the last years of imperial russia and. finally. some pretty good treasure hunting for one thing. and it was time for me to go and see what i could dig up about life in the care of reaching.

it's the secret incursion into the country. it's the invasion by means of. tradition the language. this thirsty copied. culture. the thing is that the had the danes are still unaware of what's going on in their land just last year my dear it's like this i don't know anything about alaska. an arche. to people of how to abandon the trappings of the twenty first century could you

imagine living your life as if it was ten zero nine rather than two thousand and nine well in cure of as a man who's done just that. this person looks like it could be straight out of a grimm fairy. even looks like it might be home to some enormous which fortunately for me the which wasn't home but just around the corner little did i know i was about to bump into a medieval blacksmith. the man is the head of one of cure olds most popular historical societies and he considers himself a modern day viking. we for chair it's our little smithy and the house this meadow belongs to our club we arrange holidays we can rest and even sleep here sometimes we spend the weekends people in our club make different decoration years and weapons we just have fun for example actually

throwing missing it. every viking needs to prepare for a day's pillaging with some weapons practice and remember got that down to a fine art. one on the other hand may require a few more lessons in the middle. ok the man's not a man to tolerate this he invites belong to his training group when they recreate historical. for the. nation ok. ok ok.

james the destroyer is here to crush your menfolk and drink much of your. confusion turns out that fighting with what feels the equivalent of a small color on your body is really quite how these guys used to do this all day. yeah i am the head of the team yes i am yes. i am james incredibly tired. as i change back into my civvies i decided it was time to let some of the people round my head it off to watch one of carroll's most popular and unusual sports this is bundy a combination of football and ice hockey that was apparently invented by the british in the nineteenth century who sadly like many of our sports were not very

good at it but the russians and supposedly have the top ten teams in the world. is one of them. the game is played on a field the size of a football pitch uses a round plastic pool and. there's minimal physical contact as this is a sport that requires primarily skill and agility definitely better that i start. you can really see why. a game that takes the best of ice hockey out of football who catches people's imagination haven't even seen anyone try ronaldo style dive yet even better. than the people here love their team open images can attract up to ten thousand spectators even in the dead of winter but those who prefer to watch this from the comfort of their armchair will be seeing this man. versus. this is an expert to tell you who runs a couple of best restaurants and i was very keen to meet. for

russia almost twenty years ago and he's been educating palettes here ever since the chance to help make some of my favorite silence was too good to pass up. thank you very much. started up a pizzeria in moscow in the early nineties but after his daughter was born he decided to move out of the big city and as his wife's from kiro it seemed like the obvious choice. and the russian reacted to her having a real italian restaurant here was a surprise for. disability. every. year. first time. you know. after. after

after. players for rich people and after a few finishing touches i was ready to try it for myself. you know. that's what i was waiting. but it's something to look back it's not like. really sick. little thing you know. from the best restaurants in europe but there were a couple of other things i want to see it go. down normally i don't pay its lifts with strange men on motorcycles list but this is one of russia's most unusual clubs although to find it you needed someone in the know. oh i had been expecting to be dropped off at some level. so i was a little surprised when i opened the door to the chip which was my new friend

hinting i should pray for my soul. maybe the local vicar could shed some light something else. i'm sorry i think i was told that this was actually a bikers club. bit of a mistake. i'll explain everything to you. back ok. ok well this is the. priest who. will explain exactly what all that means. let's go. with it was revealed as i met father alexander cure of his very own priests he's the founder of the city's motorcycle club although admittedly not exactly hell's angels hello lou. took me aside and introduced me to some fellow

club members including my old friend. as well as writing the group also me to restore old bikes well i think this one's going to take some serious work so this was a real russian classic about forty five years ago the. because equivalent to the italian vesper seen better days but little bit of russian history. this certainly isn't your typical day like you're trying to cure old scripts to reuters have become part of the landscape you know if you love going on the roads. it looks like. we're off to spread the bike a words one last time this year but as for me i they are going to enjoy the rest of care of. me. it was almost time for me to leave the city but i always like to check out a bit of the local music scene on my travels although in the basement of the just

plain point where i can expect. peace of the shakes it's a little slice of nineteen fifties america in northeastern russia i'm one of the most popular but. not all came over here really that. he was a long while living in cairo. ok i have stated that i wasn't expecting to come to. visit but is also thank you how do you guys going to play going to fifty's fifty's country and all the rock n roll well you know we've been playing this music. for almost seventeen seventeen euro. we got to know about it from our parents who are also big fans great fans saw this music and elvis presley and bill haley so that's how it happened this is about as.

well you're right. the fact is that we are the only group the only band around. i think that the popularity of this music and of our band depends on this fact once or twice we go outside our region and perhaps i. was getting the benefits and the old was in the mood for a. scratch under the surface to get the best out of to. be reminded of a great provincial soviet but it's the people that really give this city its color . but i've had the pleasure of meeting.
