enough people out there are speaking out about the issue and that was blair griffith a homeless young lady in colorado also miss colorado twenty eleven i want to thank you so much for watching i'm christine will be back in a half hour. c

. h i'm arriving here broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today on the big picture of.

the world this is a russian city on the brilliance sitting of ukrainian border in the country's southwest it's a regional capital with a thriving business community and students. population. nearly one million people it's a place of innovation research and procession. in the last few years an influx of cash has completely made noise the city center and there are plenty of fashionable mutex and cafes standing alongside british is grendel a box. telling of the moves the stunning enunciation cathedral the third largest church in russia finally reopened in two thousand and knowing the culture eleven years of rebuilding with a brand new six ton bell calling the city to worship and that was a pretty good advertisement for one local company. oh really

slow you know it's a reason to go to the good see what you make here yeah yeah so we have always bel bree and i was just it. and belief those were certainly made a name for itself our foundry was found in one thousand nine hundred nine by my father you see this is the family room a business. and search they are where the biggest but really wealthy russian and so in the world we produce every year about food with two hundred tons but this global domination has come on the back of an toilet traditional bell making techniques. now this is our artist so. this all step of making belts i hear will make a difference back so i can see the scrapes and then pull them on the force of the falls noelia.

live on the folly. of you. if i feel we make promises we only if you all call plans. when it seems again and that's me. every hour every hour. yeah. some heavy duty safety gear because not furnace is burning it alone thousand so serious limitations and fun. this summer is certainly a mixing for we. get a break here of old soviet copecks there is also me to make a little contribution to the filmmaking process.

this is the most spectacular and certainly the most dangerous part of the whole process this radio crucible is filled with most and groans busy you can see. it still go. to make a system well but. it's finally in position the finer liquid is ready to fly. you can see the soup of copper and skin all this most in bronze being poured into this huge coal stead that's going to take a run about a week to cool down before the whole thing can be taken outside of the next stage of the precious begins. the work is really just to shake things up a bit. off the valve we've been based out of.

this pick out. i think they say. the process is still full for loop of the new boom bell needs to be wall street. any traces of clay has been sand blasted and polished to give it a much surface. finish joins the other finished products ready to begin their journeys to churches and temples across the globe including one six hundred fifty kilos monster. ok so i daresay i can leave russia's biggest foundry without seeing what its biggest bell sounds right here again. and leave your is ringing true. way after all the fire and brimstone it seemed like a good time to clear my head so i ventured down to the ridge assigned to meet another group of local craftsman curtis was historically famous as

a ship building city in fact it's where emperor a piece of the first spilled the country's very first navy now those days may be long gone but greatest is love the pope's still alive and well. even if these verona ship builders are working on a slightly smaller scale. from the city's model boat club for more than fifteen years teaching the next generation to take to the works of ways from submarines to warships there's a huge number of models for the children to work on and with the championship winning replica proudly on display plenty to aspire to as well. this model has taken part in a national championship is won the cup that you can see over there this model of a cannon boat has taken part in two world championships and a european competition. comes luckily for me i don't mind the big kids having to go

to. some but it's. left to. go through all remote controls and after a quick lesson from eagle we were out on the open water full steam a. go. or i guess it's not exactly sailing around the horn but they also allow for is negotiating the british come out with christmas jumper the fish and. of course it's never good to get too complacent about these things i was about to find out. trauma here because the solo has run its difficulties and we have some ocean rescue missions but thankfully even here in the middle of russia the u.s. navy is on hard to save the day go boys. to get close to.

us all through little ineffectual nudging it became clear that more drastic measures were required. so sometimes. even the minds of america is not enough and. ok boys. stranded ship back to school but understandably eagle and co workers let me loose with any more of their precious books so i went off in search of some of the most robust on the watch and the owners has no shortage of. source which is applied as a sculptor and carpenter and no project is too big too strange to take home. ok from the old fantasy forest creature has a workshop full of beautifully crafted pieces from

a wild boar tablecloth to an eagle embossed coat track so two. different. but of course each piece has to start somewhere. something like this like fluids perfect clay with power tools i love it. when i was going to give me a quick course in woodwork when i warm and that meant getting hold of the chisel. i was whittling away on vlad's mera i couldn't help thinking back to the piece i'd seen out on the street. we might be able to do something similar. could be shorn of if you want to pick a sculpture. let's go. you thought. lamp

told me to meet him out in the woods but when i arrived he was nowhere to be seen. but looks and for what seemed like hours my mind started playing tricks on me. why couldn't i build these four mirrors and cut backs why should other people be able to sculpt and not me it was in fact. and now somebody was going to pay me. that.

james. let me show you how to do it. he seemed flattered narrowly avoided the road ashamed so massacre. of or an ash chainsaw art festival was just about to begin. some long run. there's nothing subtle about this form of sculpture and that suited me down to the ground and once on sliced up a bit here and blood starting work on freeing the statue from the tree trunk and it wasn't long before something with a wintry feel to it against take shape. sort of whole cuffing foyer and hopefully you can make out a beautiful family came when portraits here. lessons were that. supposed to be. with most of the school leaving glad to put the finishing touches

to our on topic friends i headed back into the city to visit some more crossman working on a slightly larger scale. one company bigger is certainly better than the longest employer in the city that territory is boss and the product they make just about fits. in that. this is the cross production association surface. inside this tank six brand new one for shiites of allowing for space. their ukrainian jet plane that's been around since two thousand and seven each one is worth around twenty five million dollars and muscle is aiming to produce fifty of them by two thousand and thirteen. plus two flats they're going to have to considerably speed up production and that's when these cars coming. each of these programs are helping

to develop a new image of manufacturing system more than fifteen thousand different items need to go into the system the most information straight from the production plant. each employee looks off to one station but the new multimillion dollar equipments means they have less to do than ever before. steel idea about sexuality is changing this was a few years ago i'm out of a machine like mass would have taken around a hundred hours to make this instant piece of flame. but nowadays i've got these big automated drills. and they can do them in floods. and i saw it i go to take a look at the finished school. this is what a brand new plane looks like the seats for business clothes and then sixty

in a color me. i thought this should be in the case of the exit saw here and here. but of course the really impressive stuff is in the cockpits right on a straight of the captain's chair here. feel very important controls it fully and it is said lights everything yeah great. the planes of i've been in service since two thousand and nine when moving two hundred orders worldwide the people of france so busy few years ahead of them. so that's what six weeks work for ten thousand people that's like one. for eight maybe coming to an ass trip they you. may already be flying around russia but i wasn't ready to catch a lift back to moscow just yet there was plenty more i wanted to see in the road

before i got into the. download the official t. application. i pod touch from the i.q. saps to. enjoy life on the go. video on demand policies in my old costs and says feeds now in the palm of your. question. com. you know just quickly about his household the people who work also lists industrialists and taking a look at those large and small businesses and there's

a real energy that everyone seems to share. so i was wondering how do people blow off steam here but it seems cause if you take a trip to the local schools for. whites just because i'm going to have a go at the russian game apparently it requires playing speed listening flexes a nerves of steel. and helps if you can catch bits of. clubs who is normally play outside on a huge pitch this version unfortunately for me is apparently a great deal. of play. the game is played in jules verne it's me a version of the russian game as well so this one is more dynamic and interesting than one played out dualistic wash. it seemed like a cross between facebook crickets and. there were plenty of things i have to remember. the purpose of the game is to school as many points as possible want to

play as a supposed to get to the audience or the beyond it on my income baking thing so he . is not supposed to be on the sidelines. team get six shots. through seems simple enough now i just want to learn what makes a great laptop pinched. this issue in this position you hit if you stay on this ok this is very technical i think i may just go for the hated and hope technique for seemingly flexibility may be the key to this game. just to sit on the it is the best heavy. is just killing my back. and then like a coiled spring i unleashed my first shops. but here we go.

i just find it's a cow the referee. as a clean hit you know will be sorry. i'm going to have like no friends but it's the. same in a senior officials wasn't the best way to begin my laptop career but my new teammates didn't seem to mind and it wasn't long before i was up doing too badly. plus two points so i think i might be out because i got course i'm not sure. to do the blinding speed making it does this mean a few years back. the sidesteps know what it was. i wasn't exactly sure what the final score was with the ghosts at the same time. but.

most of the close victories that i decided it wouldn't hurt to get in a little more practice i'm trying to get to know my teammates a little better to. money was not exact it was you i studied architecture and this is interesting it's very interesting i can take you on an excursion if you like just yesterday chris. bruce has an excellent reputation in russia as a university city and the next day i met up with max outside of the architectural faculty. and it sounds like studying here is no picnic. well james this is my university this is actually. the first year was the most difficult one to many subjects that we had to. study professional stuff. everything related to construction work played. pretty intense stuff this is a six year cools and students can choose half way through three want to stress lies in architecture or construction. the closer some around twenty people taking

lessons and corp a six but also getting the chance to put their imaginations and action. when you think about this beauty james magic it is the city is it yeah it's where our nation and bulging builders have a chance to examine materials they might use and down in the department labs you can do just that. so of course if you're involved in construction it is more likely important to know how strong the material using are so in the name of science we must sacrifice this block of concrete. and there we went. around a minute later the results were in. wait for it. were . very low experiments so you go reading here of four hundred one killer newtons so that means that our concrete can take forty tons worth the wait discovering russia

does x. school's out for the day and more marks went on for a lot to remap much of a slightly unusual appointment to keep forty feet so broad is so obviously seems to be homes and very clever people but. this one guy says he's working on something really well this. is why he wants me here in the middle of the. anybody. yeah. well. this is. i think the good stuff yes the real magic to say you know i'll show you.

and apparently it's all based around this mysterious black box in the middle of the room. uses water that's enough. once it's reached its limits. and we're ready to go to. press. james because he wants a magic check this out. this is constantine's police reserve and it's received holographic projection. these are usable bracing just for the. jewels creating a mist then special fans and pipes blowing directly up with. her here as it's images here. that reflects. the water.

well i wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be constantine of tickets in the big time. so you put together a mist make a project a little bit of magic and this is what you get i'm thinking that i'm not the only person. going to. i was running out of time and then there was one of the places i still needed to check out but luckily for me doing things quickly isn't the problem for these guys . one of those reassuring. russia decades it's been chugging down the nation's roads doing nothing very spectacular but that's not particularly exciting so here in the road as a group of people who like to take their lot.

into a. drink and that's where eagle comes from. we are training for competition. here you can see our professional racing team. think we'd better start with a guy that's shall we go. his friends a serious rally drivers and in order to be competitive need a complete overhaul. it's the one in the only cars of a different class. and has very good performance in terms of speed and most of them look at the wheel can be removed in no time. but if the car has an all wheel drive . in the five hundred fifty horsepower. even if we take it to european championships and. misses the steering column in case of an accident the wheel

touches which helps keep the pilot safe and. who knows reassuring safety features surely even a novice race accomplished. also come out of a dr who kind of course you can go for that you will need to go through a break training exercise ok lesson thought. so this looks like your average lot of evil at following driving around moscow for instance any difference is that that one will take you about eight seconds to get snowed sixty this want to do it in three point eight. people probably due to security system is a little stale it. was i was securely behold him it was time for a quick practice to go.

to. side lisa catch up with. a. problem some go behind the truck i was ready to put my soup along to a profit just please. her. i'm. like this i know that's right. somehow i have taken the lead but then from out of nowhere. sensible sunsets with.

technology issues. and then finally a long straight saloons ahead of me. ok so i didn't win but i'll never look at a low point the same way again. it would be. but no girl. that really got it into. my get back the last go. visit my lot again. it's difficult not to feel inspired to spend some time in verona sure this is a truly i'm surprising city where you can find crawl spinal praising the same way they have hundreds of years alongside academics and engineers using the very latest technology it's a city that's in touch with its past and that's moving firmly towards the future.

h.l. marvin here broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today on the big picture. we'll. bring you the latest in science and technology from the realms of. the future covered.
