breaking news this all on t.v. live in moscow have been reports that full libyan tanks have been destroyed in french airstrikes to the southwest of benghazi is the first reported saxon's planes began patrolling the skies of libya through force the u.n. sanction no fly zone pro-government forces have reportedly advanced on the rebel stronghold of benghazi despite declaring a cease fire. world leaders meeting in paris have agreed to use all necessary military means to stop any aggression by colonel gadhafi. said examples and ready

to intervene against any threats to civilians. or we'll bring you more on the developments in libya at the top of the next to us in about thirty minutes from now but in the meantime i'll tease james brown travels hundreds of kilometers south of moscow to check out the historic city vote on his. room this is a russian city on the drawings sitting of ukrainian border in the country's southwest it's a regional capital with a thriving business community and student population of. persia 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 newbie cheeks and cafes standing alongside britishers grendel an ox. turning over the moves the stunning

annunciation cathedral the third largest church in russia finally reopened in two thousand and knowing after eleven years of rebuilding with a brand new six trumbo calling the city to worship and that was a pretty good advertisement for one local company. oh really. that's a reason to go to the good see what you really care yeah yeah so we have our own as well. and let's go i will show you protesters. and police bells this certainly made a name for itself our foundry was found in one thousand nine hundred ninety one my father you see this family been a business. and they our web biggest but really not russian and so in the world we played youth every year about four hundred two hundred tons but this global domination has come on the back of entirely traditional bell making

techniques. now this is our watches so. this all step of making belts i hear will make a difference backs icons the screen set and then put them all on the fourth in the polls in the belly up. i fear we make we only peel off all plans. when the things get that i am sad that's me gets every hour every hour. i need some heavy duty safety gear because the furnace has been either the one thousand so serious one of the two thousand found. there's some recycling in action

for you. but a pint here of old soviet kopek opec and there is also need to make a little confusion to the filmmaking process. this is the most spectacular and certainly the most dangerous part of the whole process this revolt crucible is filled with mold some braun's fizzy you can see. it's going to go over here. in their case it's done well but. once it's funny and position the finer the liquid is ready to fly. you can see the soup of copper and say in all this mold some bronze being poured into this huge coal sit that's going to take a round about a week to cool down before the whole thing can be taken outside and the next stage

of the process begins. so that the workers really get to shake things up because. we've been based. this fish out this machine i think they. did it. comes out. of the process is still far from over a newborn bell needs to be washed to remove any traces of clay and is then sand blasted and polished to give it a much surface. finish the other finished products ready to begin their journeys to churches and temples across the globe including one six hundred fifty kilos monster. case right there can leave russia's biggest foundry without seeing what its biggest bell sounds like.

a leader is really in for a way. after all the fire and brimstone it seemed like a good time to clear my head so i ventured down to the river saw it to meet another group of local craftsman furnish was historically famous as a ship building city in fact it's where emperor peter the first built the country's very first navy now those days may be long gone but burnish his love of pope's is still alive and well. even if these corona ship builders are working on a slightly smaller scale. deal has run the city's model post club for more than fifteen years teaching the next generation to take to the waterways from submarines to warships there's a huge number of models for the children to work on some of the championship winning replica proudly on display plenty to aspire to as well. the small who

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 to retain competition. i'm so luckily for me i don't mind the big kids having a go to. coming. from both. left to. the books are 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 risk now 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 the

trauma here because he also often has run its difficulties on the move so we have to move to rescue missions 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 jennifer actually nudging it became clear that more drastic measures will require. so. there were in the minds of america is not enough and the other thing was in zero. zero go boys. stranded ship back to school but understandably eagle and co workers let me listen to any more of their precious books so i went off in search of some of the most robust handiwork and in the business will secure some.

sources of my plot is a sculptor and caught them so a new project is too big or too strange to take. a call 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 to. but of course each piece has to start somewhere. something like this excellent perfect play with power tools i love it. when i was going to give me a quick course in woodwork one a warm and that meant getting hold of the chisel.

i was willing away on glad i couldn't help thinking back to the piece i'd seen out on the street. we might be able to do something similar. to rejoin have a go and figure sculpture. let's go show you. the man told me to meet him out in the woods but when i arrived he was nowhere to be seen. i lived some lives for what seemed like hours my mind started playing tricks on me. why couldn't the i build these filner is income tax why should other people be able to scull to not me it was in fact live.

and now somebody was going to pay. that right. james. let me show you how to do it. it seems landed narrowly avoided the road a shameful massacre. the initial chain saw off festival was just about to begin. the long run. there's nothing subtle about this form of sculpture and that suited me down to the ground on one side sliced off a bit here in gladstone to work on freeing the statue from the tree trunk and it was long before something with a wintry feel to its began to take shape. so local coffee at five and hopefully

you can make out a beautiful family penguin portrait here. lessons without. with some leaving glad to put the finishing touches to our run talk to friends i headed back into the city to visit some more crossman working on a slightly larger scale. one company bigger is better but the longest employer in the city territory is boss and the court may make just about fits. in that. this is the cross production association official. inside this time six brand new i am one forty eighth's of all into 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. bus to france they're going to have to considerably speed up production and that's when these cars come and. each of these programs are helping to develop a new matured money fracturing system more than fifteen thousand different items need to go into the system the most information goes straight to 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. idea about sexuality is changing this was a few years ago i'm out of a scene like bats would have taken around a hundred hours to make this beautiful piece of flame. but nowadays i've got these big also makes the drills. and they can do them it's what.

else saw it i got to take a look at the finished off school. this is what a brand new plane looks like the seats for business clothes and then sixty in a color me. i think i should be in the case of the exit saw him i'm here. but of course the really impressive stuff is in the cockpits right on his traces in the captain's chair here. feel very important the controls but hopefully i can feel a bit they said like everything yeah great. the planes have only been in service since two thousand and nine but with more than two hundred dollars worldwide the people at faso still a busy few years ahead of them. so that's what six weeks' work for ten

thousand people look like one day in one for eight may be coming to an airstrip the year. the n one forty eight 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 it's the. hungry for the full stop we've got it first the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers on. you know just quickly about his household the people. i met autists industrialists

and taking a look at both 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 quite a few take a trip to the local sports. rights just because i'm going to have a go at the russian game pardon me it requires playing speed listening flexes i'm nerves of steel. and helps if you can catch a bit. of time as normally play out saw it on a huge pitch and this version unfortunately for me is apparently a great deal for. play. the game is played in jules verne s me looked at version of the russian game as well so this one is more dynamic and interesting than when played outdoors the question. is seem like a cross between baseball crickets and. there were plenty of things i have to

remember. the purpose of the game is to score as many points as possible when previously as a supposed to get to the audience or the beyond that line and come back if they don't hit the goal or you know the history is not supposed to be on the sidelines. team get six shots if you got a rule seems simple enough now i just time to learn what makes a great luck so pinched. you with this issue in this position you hit if you stay on the sports ok which is very technical becoming just a pretty good in hope technique for seemingly flexibility may be the key to this stay. here just to sit on the this is the best heavy duty this. is just killing. and then like a coiled spring by unleashed my first shops. but here we go.

i just find it's a cow the referee. is a clean hit you know the story. that. i'm going to have like no fred but it's the. same in a senior officials wasn't the best way to begin my luck the career my new teammates didn't seem to mind and it wasn't long before i was up and not doing too badly. plus three points so i think i might get out because i don't course i'm not sure. to do the blinding speed may desists me a few years back. sidesteps know what it was. i wasn't exactly sure what the final straw was but the ghosts at the same time. but.

also the close victories that i decided it wouldn't hurt to get in a little practice and try to get to know my teammates a little better to. money was not exactly what it was you do i studied architecture and this is interesting it's very interesting i've been taking on an excursion if you like yeah that'd be great. 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 still feeds. everything related to construction will play. pretty intense stuff this is a six year cools and students can choose halfway through three want to stress lies

in architecture or construction the roses have around twenty people taking lessons in cool basics but also getting a chance to put their imaginations into action. garfield you think about this beauty james there's the city is it yeah it's were on edge. 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 vitally 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 there we went. around a minute later the results were in. forwards. were. very low experiments so you go reading here of four hundred one killer

newtons so that means that concrete can take forty times with the weight discovering russia does six schools out for the day i'm all marks went off for a lot to rematch. be unusual appointments keep thirty three so obviously seems to be home some very clever people but i've been avoided to make this one guy who says he's working on something really special. he wants me here in the middle of the. anybody. constantly. as. well. as. i think.

i'll show you. and apparently it's based around this mysterious in the middle of the room. and that's enough. it's reached its limits. and we're ready to go. james. check this out. this is constantine's police these are the three g.'s holographic projection. these are uses of. creating a mist special. i

wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be constantine tickets in the big. little bit. and this is what you get i think. it's 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 is no problem for these guys. as one of those reassuringly unchanging things about 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 or. look. loaded into a super car takes a fair bit of tinkering and that's where eagle comes in. we are training for competition. here you can see our professional racing team. but i think we'd better start with the garridge shall we go. do your and his friends a serious rally drive us to be competitive need a complete overhaul. here's the thing in the older cars of a different class. it has very good performance in terms of speech and more of a book with the wheel can be removed in no time. but what a car has an all wheel drive and motion opinion thousand five hundred fifty horsepower. even if we take it to two european championships and. this is the

steering column in case of an accident the wheel touches which helps keep the pilot see. all those reassuring safety features surely even a novice race accomplished. most of them have a dr who can use of course you can before that you will need to go through a brake training exercise ok lesson thought. so this looks like your average dog that you might fall in trotting around moscow for instance and the difference is that one will take you about eight seconds to get to know to sixty this want to do it in three point eight. three to the security system is a little skill. but once i was securely told him it was time for a quick practice to go.

look up the. side lisa catch up with. one single thing on the track i was ready to put my supra laws up to a proper test please please . i'm sorry. like this now i know that saturday. somehow i have taken the lead then from out of nowhere. sensible sunsets.

to technology issues. like. that then finally a long straights loomed ahead of me. ok so i didn't win but i'll never look at a loan the same way again. it would be. the feel good. that really got into the off. of an engineer or go back the last. thing i might visit a little to get. institutional to feel inspired to spending some time in romish this is a truly enterprising city where you can find crawl spawn all praising the same way they have for 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.
