hello again this is all see a quick check of the headlines. out of the old and in with thinking it would tres the holiday break and hope was defined twenty ten and look at the key events which began for russia. europe's twelve months of turmoil with some of the biggest prospects approaches approaches that have a scene of a slash spending and tax hikes but productions say there's a voice to come on the kind of start to bite. on the people's promises wave the streets of new york to hear their wishes on the war is ahead for twenty and that.

up next travel to the russian golden ring tone of trauma home to history tradition and an old fashioned way of life so stay tuned. russia's golden ring cities are some of the most beautiful and historic in the country this is russia or is it used to be filled with churches ancient architecture and the gentler pace of life. and one of the jewels in the crown is. just a four hour drive from its original compas all the time to just over a quarter of a million people and it is on the banks of the great fold the river. now when i knew it was coming to cost her mom was expecting a few relaxing days of sightseeing and strolling through the city so it was a bit of a surprise when our first stop was a wild and windy village and there was an eerie howling in the background. this will look like the most hospitable weather but if you are certain. this is pretty

much paradise because this is the home of the northern hope. and as we're about to see it's like a united nations of races right here because. this is no project mushers have traveled here from australia canada and the usa because as well as putting on contests northern hope is a refuge and therapy center for young people but i'm really well known for mentoring of teenagers in life through the dog through dogs bombers flown all the way from california to take part of the work that i do with teenagers in america is very similar to what she does with the boys is using the dogs as a way for the boys to be able to reconnect with other people so it's a great way a great lesson to teach them about being self-confident and truthful and focus and determination and you can teach that by using the dogs as an example of how well

you're doing with that. this is pretty much what i do when i'm training him. i find that exhibiting dogs at shows is great fun. and day to day handling of dogs use is also very interesting. i'm told as someone who's felt the benefits first time and he came to live at the center three years ago and is now a qualified race referee he says it's really turned his on the other boys lives around you of mother nature changes completely and so does your treatment of the animal world. and he's certainly popular with the residents you do. say you see he's really fond of having his belly. out but in the ok let's go home. there were plenty of last minute preparations going on this is

a long race and the dogs have to be checked over thoroughly before they get going. until you are literally straining at the least these guys this car way to get stuff . this is thing is sleepy and. once they've been given the go ahead it was over to i'm told of the starting line to put them on the start as. you have barbara and her team hit leading the way for the international races and you can see some of the dogs wearing the latest and stylish fashion. fifty kilometers to go. to the dogs have. the teams race at intervals through forests track and i headed out to join chief referee terry at the halfway point ask her if she's ok if you think yes yes everything's ok he invent caroling check the dogs over to make sure they're still

in fine fettle and that no rules have been broken there to do a little inspection sticker shock he. took it you know it's ok. terry is that cia so people tend to do what he says. ok i think you want to look two years with through it was a race back to the finish. flying to see the dogs and it was a home grown russian team who picks up the onus. of. the mushers headed off to celebrate when it was time for me to make my way into coaster. but you can't exactly fly down a taxi and these power. travel . history dates nine hundred years and when you take

a walk through the city center it's easy to see why this is a major attraction for travelers. but the much just be an ulterior motive if you are of the hof suggests a romantic weekend yet. this is russia's jewelry capital producing around twenty five percent of the country's goals. and with its. one of the region's biggest factories employs nearly eight hundred people and i've been invited to see how a ring makes it from the drawing board to the display case. once the workers have a design it's called and. that's used to make a three d. . squeezy very hauled. into this you. can wait for the magic to happen. so that the benefit is off to the metal. scene and gold. but when you're dealing with hundreds of rings at

a time you need to find a way to speed up the process each model is attached to a miniature christmas tree which is covered with plaster and then it's. you know. casting the flask is placed here. and a few hours later you've got a stocking filler fits. for a million. original you there was waxing near what notes gold and dead one has turned into a soul work. with imagine they'd be so heavy it's not just have to cut these items from the fir tree into release them into production a my ring just needed to have it stone fitted to make someone very special. ok so maybe it's not quite my style but you don't have to be rich to pick up an authentic cost from a souvenir. the region is also the center of russia's linen industry they've been spinning and refining it here for centuries and the local textile museum is home to

a group of ladies who still make clothing the old fashion way. move over to the museum director and the lady who knows her linen but getting the flex to the loom is a drawn out process and usually it's picked by hand from the fields before being crushed in a wooden growing to release threads. this was a stroll now it's a bunch of thread once the threads of broken down that comb through with the rioting of implements including a brush which looked like it had been more of a home in a torture chamber rather than a house be careful with that when. once it's fine enough to thread a spool into a launch spin up although you definitely need nimble fingers than mine to do this properly yeah just keep doing it since heart of the looks cool but apparently. used to give it. to a six year old girl so i'm

a little bit late so much can drink in doing it but it wasn't all work and play apparently the spinning was really an excuse for a good gossip i would not only between twelve and fifteen girls at the time were excited by side their tongues were in theory and with this being well as they spawn aren't they only tales same songs and told the boys to pieces the trends of died with fruit and vegetable juices and then they're ready for the loom it was common for the women to work fourteen hours a day preparing new clothes and there is a bit of an arc to it. and here you go. you want to believe it when you look at it but actually this using the to do fun is far easier than spilling the thread. the same i get stuck. on after all that effort the family have a wardrobe to be proud of the ladies would make every day clothes and clothes for special occasions apparently a beautiful set like this would take about

a week solid labor of course really i need some trousers to go with it but i think left in my hands it's going to take me about six months so i'm going to leave the girls to do what they do best. with more than five hundred dotted around the town you could spend days checking out all of costermongers historic and cultural monuments but there's one figure in the city whose statue and reputation stand head and shoulders above the others. he was called a son and his name has become a russian by word for patriotism and bravery and there are always people ready to tell his story. back in the early seventeenth century of the russian nobility had just elected the first romanov zam a high heel to take the vacant crown the young prince was living in cost ramon and he needed to travel to moscow to be crowned. there were several other people who wanted the throne for themselves and the king of poland said mercenaries to come and find the heil run off and kill him but they hadn't reckoned with.

it once a saw him was a local peasant living in the region and when the polish troops approached he offered to take them into the woods and to make eye but he had a surprise in store sauna and led the poles deep into the forest they were supposed to spend almost a day walking through the trees and heading towards the swamps. but make no romanov didn't seem to be getting any closer than the polls were starting to get angry. as the story goes through sonnen refused to continue telling the poles he would never betray his prints and there was only ever going to have one outcome. so. you can see what happened to poor yvonne but the poles by now were so hopelessly lost that they never made it out of the forest we heil was crowned and it wants to sign him wrote himself into the legend of the russian people fortunately our van was able to make

a miraculous recovery but maybe the poles have been going about it in the wrong way . this is the sun and. if you go right across the swamp and the clearing is in that direction you'll find me here i'm on of there we have to do is. russia's first was back within the city limits. it was really a trustworthy fellow as the polls really a go and it's a fun romanov this is where they should have been watching. this is the apache of mana stream probably the most famous building in. it's hardly changed in almost seven hundred years and the house is the main attraction. and they have a rather bryce a paint job now but this was the house where the young lived with his mother and

every room and since i came here to pay homage to the place where the dentistry began. to son in that come good and i was all set for a date with another local calls from our celebrity. hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. wealthy british style. markets why now scandal. find out what's really happening to the global economy in the kinds of reports. well for. bringing you the latest in science and technology from around russia.

we've. covered. cultures that so much we're going to be. i lot of people a variant of burka one year it was if anything two thousand campaign showed us just how fragile the world is was. it can hit dr swines policeman swines ministers why am i just pray that if you didn't find me if i could just live through the night that i would get my kids out of here because i knew that what was going to happen was that he was going to kill me many victims don't understand that domestic violence includes verbal abuse psychological abuse physical abuse and sexual abuse at least four million women are affected by abuse every year those are my only two options that i saw that mostly either i'm going to kill him i'm in jail or he's going to kill it.

but in the nineteenth century it was home to the famous russian playwright alexander ostrosky and he's responsible for popularizing the legend of one of the country's most famous folk characters in the worst santa claus maybe more of a solo artist but his russian counterpart for the frost is almost never seen without smoke gorged the snowman to ostrosky roaches fairy tale while living in the city and unsurprisingly the town has a real soft spot for their icy places this currency you see is a home to support your lady as you can see. when synagogues career is having a break from father frost she lives here in her own wooden house she's one of the

city's most popular attractions and shows her visitors the much excitement of life see. she has several hopeless including a particularly entertaining very well spoken cat and when the last children had gone home she was kind enough to offer me a private tour. as you might expect for a snow maiden she has an entire room dedicated to christmas trees made by children from local schools but also with. e-mails from around the world and as the star of her own fairytale she's surrounded by other characters from slavic mythology. our forefathers believed that each of us has a guardian angel well at the end these are the helpers ancient gods for example fido is the god of the labor helps us to work he has bestowed various crafts on us . is the patron saint of. the market is mother. then

one side whispered a few words of thanks to a particularly big god said she was taking me to her favorite room in the house i should have expected this really. is. going to relax after work. has most of my screen cocktail and there may not be many reindeer to pull cynical it's because sleigh when she's out and about in. the deep in the local woods there are certainly some animals who'd be up to the tosca. this is. a forty year old project that was originally designed to try and domesticate these huge animals but since the collapse of the soviet union it's been used as a breeding sensor. there are thirty seven moose and they each have a thousand hectares of land to explore in fact the only fence areas to prevent them wandering out onto the roads. there are around ten full time staff that look after

the animals and when you've got appetites like these to take care of you can always use another pair of hands because of the you take the axe. if they go ahead or simple but. it seems only fair. to. keep with. trying to repair a bit of the moose is favorite food and this. aspen block. is absolutely most favorite treat their one hundred i don't know if that's an indictment of my cats igs they'd rather the stuff that's on the floor. oh ok. i'll put it there for dessert. enjoy.

the herd will stay here for the whole winter before moving off when the weather heats up but for now they're very happy to lounge around and enjoy the easy pickings and explore the old stranger who comes into their midst have an interest in smell. that you think. you. ok. go and see this. also i managed to turn myself away from my new admirer i headed to a nearby town to take in a rather special ceremony. this is a region that's filled with churches and still has a highly religious population and every easter the people make a unique product mourned the thursday salt. hundreds of years ago there used to be

mines here but back then only the very rich could afford to buy. in the singing lists used to be worth its weight in gold a sack of thought could even buy a house dome. became more affordable it was offered to the churches in the east to gift. branches and the russian soft drink together and added to the salt but then goes into the oven and once the mixture has toasted it's all saved. the day you hear the grain it turns into ashes that's how you get thirst is black salt. so they leave it for a few hours if they should be ready. the soldiers come and states take them to the church to be part of the easter celebrations. now we're

going to place the salt here. this is really just the. old ones it's been blessed by the priest every member of the. a little. supposed to cure ills and protect the family for the whole of the. it turned out to be a busy few days in coast but i was determined to fit in a little all along before heading back to moscow. and if you're a man in this city there's one place everyone goes to get away from it all. through this tough sightseeing i thought it was definitely time to come back and spend a relaxing afternoon on the lake but this is the middle of the russian winter so i do need to make a few slight adjustments. over there you go and fish and. you're

all ok except for the way that you're dress ok fine any different clothes but that's all right we have everything you need. to call fisherman the right footwear. jacket. rights and most important i had to keep your head. you gave me and his friends come fishing here almost every week and with temperatures well below freezing it pays to wrap up warm. right this is much more suitable i think you're going to retire ok and now that you've got the right help it says everything for fishing the box with the rods for the roads and here is the . drill to make a hole in the ice very important and then we were ready to head out onto the ice apparently there were some spots the better than others but. if you can find them.

i didn't let. you know to find some way to get to the wall so. it's not easy when you're dealing with my space but all true good work with the drew i did eventually. almost seventy cents maces no danger of falling through this ice so we had a hole we had all delicious mosquito plates now surely that be the endless hours of waiting and talk about the way. the first cat. that is crazy. to. you when you leave but i swear to god i've been fishing so many never actually managed to get fish that quickly. but it's not easy. to.

do you can that feeds too many people. in a very small dinner. appetiser but little did i know this was just the beginning. this is absolutely crazy. it's. your show and other your second in about thirty seconds. james of the james has all the makings of a skilled fisherman the fish can't get away. new baits the treats. so i thought i was just here to kill some time to relax you never actually going to catch any fish with. this. group.

with. you again he left me to my own devices and this really seems to be the point of spending time out here you're alone with your thoughts and one of the most beautiful places in the region and the daily grind seems like a million miles away. could really get you through this peaceful tranquil place to sit there alone with your thoughts even if you don't. smoke. but that doesn't mean you don't get colds. have come prepared at. the most important. symbolic drop bad surprise. it will keep us warm or as well. it's just medicinal obviously. this is definitely a very good idea to irish up the t.v. . and once we bagged up

a few more fish it was time to head back to the good cook. that is not a way to end the day on the ice for a few tall tales to come filed and some freshly made. that is going to vary. from. russia's golden ring city to some of the most beautiful and historic in the country this is russia as it used to be filled with churches ancient architecture and the gentle pace of life and one of the jewels in the crown is castro mom just a four hour drive from moscow it's a regional campus old it's home to just over

a quarter of a million people and lives on the banks of the great fold the river. closer more is the perfect place for a little russian escapism the city is reminiscent of a bygone era with enough history and tradition for a cultural tool in the wide open spaces for those looking to just leave it all behind.
