isn't enough control over the quality of the fireworks which can be sold anywhere but anyone most don't find out they've bought a defective firework until it's too late to point out that some of the. really aren't. the pavers that the popular moscow store. with colorful packaging these chinese made imports are aimed at casual part technics enthusiastic prices are dirt cheap less than ten dollars for an entire display i buy a few for testing by professionals. most of the do not comply with the russian legislation for example look at this parachute forward it's meant to go up street. it might seem trivial but. in the wrong direction in hits you. authorities admit drug imports do get through but then says that it's up to people to at least try to buy from licensed suppliers still although some of the injuries will be for misuse and

not defective for one of hospitals in moscow alone expect to receive around one hundred patients these holidays but all hope to avoid large scale mishaps much of the firework induced fire in the lame force my club just over a year ago killed more than one hundred fifty people. well i've heeded the new worst warnings slow death yeah i'm enjoying the virtual probably with some good quality if i were to go on there are the last go. now there is one city which knows how to celebrate yeah ten days in a row. coming up later this hour most of the country is it shows us where the parties at. it's the largest event of the year in russia so join me as we take a look at the history and the best locations to party and celebrate new year's eve in the us.

doesn't take any action against the cement plant. the fall out is that every year sees less snow fall than the last affecting the crops many farmers see they're even thinking of selling their land the biggest problem is the adulteration of cheap big brands of saffron sell briskly here on the streets or three know that and it is virtually impossible for you and me to distinguish between these and the real thing this has dented saffron's image and resulted in a drop in prices the availability of cheaper saffron from iran and spain has added to the problem with credibility at stake traders like. now refused to stock saffron . when one cannot be sure the quality stalk it will hope that it can guarantee whether it's genuine so there isn't much demand for more if the government is ready to thank you kate. i don't know if i will start. but there are those who still swear by saffron houseboat owner but she had done to has

saffron every morning especially in winter. or from to milk will have been released issues because it's very good for one's health in this cold weather that it helps reduce chest congestion in my back it also goes away. that will bring some cheer to the saffron farmers who face a second year of plummeting prices the government had pledged eighty million dollars six months ago to improve facilities but the farmers are yet to see any action do they do this cash crop could well continue its slow decline cut and seeing r g bump or. now that's look at some other stories making news on the first day of twenty seven kabul has exploded in front of christine church in egypt as worshippers were. at least ten people look.

a seasonal state of the art home in the outskirts of moscow as well i believe that this place is of great importance for parents and children that they can feel their real fairytale here at the moscow site kids can play around the new year's tree you can hardly talk to the main characters and even send a letter to motos through the village post office through it all the children here can become a part of this magical world. which is why you went to his bedroom and his dining hall and his guest room but aside from the fantasy of it all there was also a practical side to the village. helpers are part of a special college intern program some of them it's all about the smile you know it's a joy to see a child smile but we also learned how to make children believe our tale it is said that the land of the buildings in all of these decorations cost around thirty three and a half million dollars but it's not just for show the organizers say it's so that the people here can know the true meaning of the new year. high hopes hopes that we

will accomplish more next year this year hopes that we do more and correct the mistakes people make politicians for instance we magicians have to correct the mistakes they make. but life in the village isn't one long fairy tale there are some rumblings the magic kingdom is costing too much and the money could have been better spent helping children directly despite that the city of moscow is pressing forward with plans to expand the project further in the coming years a move that is sure to continue to make the children who come here smile moment want it now has a holiday when children's wishes come true it's a very fun holiday children get presents. which are not to bad for the cross ties is that it was magical i really did not did one would join hands in a circle inside the house and made our wishes and then problems fall on us now live with you and wish you the bubbles of faith that the new year will be brighter for.
