we're out of time and that's going to do it for now for more on the stories we covered go to our team dot com slash usa also check out our youtube page at youtube dot com slash r t america i'm christine freezone will be back here half hour.

see. if. the latest in. the future.

be official. ipod touch. video. parties mind broadcasts and already set speech now in the palm of your. question. dot com. the room this is a russian city on the drawing is sitting in the ukrainian border in the country's southwest it's a regional capital with the striving business community and student population.

nearly one million people it's a place of innovation research and polls which show. in the last few years an influx of cash has completely modernized the city center and there are plenty of fashionable new boutiques and cafes standing alongside growing issues grandon talks. towering over the move was the stunning enunciation cathedral the third largest church in russia finally reopened in two thousand and nine culture eleven years of rebuilding with a brand new six time bell calling the city to worship and that was a pretty good advertisement for one local company. oh really. nice to meet until you know that we're going to see what you make here yeah yeah so we have our own as well. and so let's go i will show you that system. and belief spells has certainly made a name for itself our foundry was found in one thousand nine hundred nine by my

father you see this family literally business. and said today our where the biggest but really nothing rash and so in the wallet with for you third. every yes but finish with two hundred tons but this global domination has come on the back of entirely traditional bell making techniques. and this is just so. this last step of making bells i hear will make the friends back so i can see the scrapes and then put them all on the force of the value. of money. if i hear will make broth we only put you off call plans.

when it seems again and that's me and. reality reality value belongs. in heavy duty safety gear because the furnace is burning it is a one thousand so serious two thousand found. this in recycling mixing fully. repaired here of old soviet block of code but there are still some me to make a little contribution to the build making process. this is the most spectacular and certainly the most dangerous part of the whole process this revolt crucible is filled with most of the brooms busy you can see. it's going to go over here. in the case of stand well back. should sternly and

position the sorry liquid is ready to fly. you can see the super copper and all this molten bronze being poured into the. huge cost it was going to take a run about a week to cool down before the whole thing could be taken outside and the next stage of the process begins. so that the workers really get to shake things up a bit. i think about how we use information out of the removal. papers and see our gaddis and see if they. are the process is still full from over a newborn valve needs to be washed to remove any traces of clay has been some 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 i'm stuck. ok so i there i can leave russia's biggest foundry without seeing what its biggest bell sounds right here again. media is ringing for. the room after all the fire and brimstone it seemed like a good time to clear my head so i ventured down to the riverside to meet another group of local craftsman ernest was historically famous as a ship building city in fact it's where emperor of peace in the first built the country's very first navy now those days may be long gone but greatest love of pope's is still alive and well. even if these verona ship builders are working on

a slightly smaller scale. deal has run the city's model boats club for more than fifteen years teaching the next generation to take the will to waste 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. the smallest they can pull it in a national championship is won the cup that you can see over there this model of the cannon bows has taken calls into world championships and to european competition. and slightly for me i don't mind the big kids having to go to. the. left and.

the boats are all remote controls and after a quick lesson from eagle we were out on the open water full steam. or i guess it's not exactly sailing the board but they also allow for is negotiating the british canal with christmas just the fish and. of course it's never good to get too complacent about these things i was about to find out trauma here was the most old but has run its difficulties a little so we have to move to rescue mission but thankfully even here in the middle of russia the u.s. navy is on hand 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 legal 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 time they work and then there's no shortage of things. it's just that your client is a sculptor and carpenter and no project is too big to strange to take. a call from the old fantasy forest creature that has a workshop full of beautifully crafted pieces from table cloak to an eagle embossed coke truck so. but of course each piece has to start somewhere.

something like this i feel it's perfect play with power tools love it. when i was going to give me a quick course in blood work 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 to show you you thought. lab told me to meet him out in the woods but when i arrived he was nowhere to be seen. by leaps and walked for seemed like hours to my mind started playing tricks on me.

why couldn't the i build these for mirrors and cut backs why should other people be able to scull to not me it was in fact live. and now somebody was going to pay. by. james. let me show you how to do it. he seemed flattered narrowly avoided the road ashamed so massacre. over an ashtray and so on 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 grounds and once on sliced up a bit here in the plant starting work on freeing the statue from the tree trunk and it wasn't long before something with a wintry feel to it began to take shape. so local coffee at five and hopefully you can make out a beautiful family came when portraits here. lessons without will. spoke. with most of those who are leaving glad to put the finishing touches to our i'm talk to friends i headed back into the city to visit some more crossman working on a slightly larger scale. one company in grow bigger is certainly better than the largest employer in the city the territory is boss and the product they make just

about fits. in that. this is the cross production association of the short and inside just hang out six brand new i am one forty eighth's of a line for space. there 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 where these cars coming. issues programs are helping to develop a new image of money fracturing system more than fifteen thousand different items need to go into the system the most information because straight from the production plant. each employee looks off to one station but the new multimillion dollar equipment means they have less to do than ever before.

still idea of how sick no is he is changing this clause a few years ago i'm out of a machine like grass would have taken around a hundred hours to make this in full piece of flame. but nowadays i've got these big automated drills. and they can do them in but. i never saw it i got to take a look at the finished article. this is what a brand new claim looks like the seeds 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 into the captain's chair here. feel very important the controls but

hopefully. it should like everything yeah great. the planes have only been in service since two thousand and nine with movement two hundred orders worldwide the people it's just so busy few years ahead of them. so that's what six weeks work for ten thousand people that's like one wonderful writes maybe coming to the year. ready to 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 think it's the. cultures that so much i'm going to make a lot of people here in. japan's me in the world when a disaster hits a major economic and trading power the forces of globalization punish.

a timer in here broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today on the big picture. you know just quickly about the road and his household the people. i met autists 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 with lots of power to me it requires playing speed listening reflexes and nerves of steel. and it helps if you can catch bits. block times normally play outside on a huge pitch this version unfortunately for me is apparently a great deal for. play. the game is played in jules verne s mini looked at version of the russian game as well so this one is more dynamic and interesting than one played out dualistic washout could. see much a cross between facebook and cricket some don't and there were plenty of things i have to remember. the purpose of the game is to school as many points as possible as a supposed to get to the audience or the beyond that line. if they don't hit the full are you know the real is not supposed to go be on the sidelines. team get six shots

if you've got a rule seems simple enough now i just have to learn what makes a great lot so pinched. this room this position you hit if you stay on the spot ok this is very technical i think i may just go pretty good in hope technique but seemingly flexibility may be the key to this game. just to sit on the this is the best heavy duty as it. is just killing my back. and then like a coiled spring i unleashed my first shot. but here we go. i just totally took out the referee. as a clean hit you know sorry. i'm going to have like no threat but i did and they. say me amazing the 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 don't course i'm not sure. i'd leave the blinding speed may desists me a few years but. sidesteps know what it was. i wasn't exactly sure what the final straw was but the go certainly seems happy. but. also the close victory 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 next to that it was you i studied architecture and this is interesting it's very interesting i didn't take in an excursion if you

like yeah that'd be great at. bruges is 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 yeah this is actually. the first year was the most difficult one for me it was so many subjects that we had to. study professional still feeds. everything related to construction by. pretty intense stuff this is a six year cool some students can choose halfway through three want to specialize in architecture or construction the closer some around twenty people taking lessons and course basics but also getting a chance to put their imagination into action. before you think about this beauty james. because the city isn't it yeah it's where irish. and bunting 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 boiling important to know how strong the material you are using are so in the name of science we must sacrifice this block of concrete. and then we went. around a minute later the results were in. a. way forwards. then you know experiments so you go reading here of four hundred one killer newton so that means that concrete can take forty times with a weight discovering roughly does physics school's out for the day and walmart's once or for a lot sorry much we have a slightly unusual appointment to keep thirty three so obviously seems to be holmes

and very clever people but i've been avoided to meet this one guy who says he's working on something really well this. is why he wants me here in the middle of the . work of. anybody. as. well. i think. i'll show you. and apparently it's all placed around this mysterious in the middle of the room. uses and that's enough. once it's

reached its limits. and we're ready to go. press. james. magic check this out. this comes from steve's police reserve and it's a three d. holographic projection. these abuses of just critics. creating a mist in special fans and pipes. with. its images here. i wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be constantine's to get to the big time

. so you put together a mist make a. little bit of magic and this is what you get i'm thinking that i'm not the only person. who's going to. i was running. and there was one of the place i still needed to check out luckily for me doing things quickly isn't a problem for these guys. is about russia. has 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 something. that's where eagle comes from. we are training for competition.

here you can see our professional racing team. but i think we'd better start with the carriage shall we go. his friends a serious rally drivers to be competitive need a complete overhaul. if the thing in the car is of a different class. it has very good performance in terms of speed and more of the bulk of the wheel can be removed in no time. but if the car has an all wheel drive and these. five hundred fifty horsepower. even if we take it to two european championships an. infamous is the steering column in case of an accident the wheels attaches which helps keep the pilot saying. those reassuring safety features surely even if it's race a counselor. most oh well you have a drive by is of course before that you will need to go through a brake training exercise ok lesson thought. so this looks like your

average lot of evil it for you trotting around moscow for instance the difference is that no one will take you about eight seconds to get to know to sixty plus want to do it in three point. you can probably do the security system is a little skill. and will some securely buckled him it was time for a quick practice looks. like. side lisa cad software. plus i'm going to hang up the truck i was ready to put my supra laws up to a proper test please please

. i. like this i know that's right. somehow i have taken the lead but then from house of know what. i. said some nice concepts of. technology issues. but then finally a long straights loomed ahead of me. ok so i didn't with

well never look at a low point the same way again. it would be. no go. to go to into. my get back to the last go. visit milo the guy. gets to mill to feel inspired to spend some time in verona sure this is a truly enterprising city where you can find crawl spend all praising the same way they have hundreds of years alongside academics and engineers using the very latest technology is a city that's in touch with its past and this movie firmly towards the future.
