back here with r t here's a look at the top stories natives accused of incompetency in libya by as gadhafi forces after an airstrike killed at least five rebels on the frontline this follows harsh criticism of the alliance's failure to defeat pro-government forces during the three week off aeration which threatens to become a stalemate. plans to be allowed debt stricken portugal sparked anger among europeans concerned that strong economies at war are once again forced to pay for

others to prop up the eurozone portugal's we ackles those of ireland and greece with many predicting spain might be next. and in the us differences between republicans and democrats over the new budget are threatening to cause a government shutdown friday is a deadline and failure to find a compromise could end up with the country's credit rating being downgraded. next after an hour r t team as they continue to discover central russia this time we travel to the republic of our jill via home to some of russia's most accomplished artist. prospect. plunges well below zero the snow seems to come up to your waist and you really should follow your friends and. coats. a trip to the republic of moldova.

just over six hundred kilometers east of moscow it's home to around one hundred thousand people must be some of the fittest in the country. and maybe when it comes to school it's definitely a major player. holiday are more likely to head to the beach. but you can't really travel around without at least having a go at some winter sports and at least with this one i do get to see some stuff.

every day dozens of people head out to the tracks here some shooting and cross country skiing from experts to absolute beginners. i finally got the right equipment but it has been a very long time since i've struck on some skis. and there was always the promise of some place to look for. no one told me that i was going to trek through the forest to reach it. still may be the hardest thing. scandinavian. well. for this one month. but finally i made it over the

top right down to the top it's. just about. ok. we've got through the. season range. and it was time for a noise relaxing light out. proposed besides. lie down the. no no on your stomach but one leg here why. he's going like what. apparently long also requires unnatural flexibility to spread your legs like him. plus i was determined of those tiny little tall youths were not going to get the best of me. yet. your idea of a little bit of norwegian blood money there. now this ball of biathlon i could

definitely get used to. politically have to work on my posture. this is why are. they there here. like a ballerina. on skis it's definitely a useful skill to have with the snow on the ground but i decided i would be better off walking to my first estimation. though the horse has always had a special place in the culture traditionally more as a beast of burden or means of transport rather than anything else but. one local farm has got them doing something. and that's all down to animal launch premier aleksei i used to work as a vet but at one point some of my colleagues and i decided to start a farm producing coma's which is for men to mares milk we have been operating for just over two years we have eighty horses here. has been

a popular drink on the central asian steps for thousands of years but aleksei is introducing it to a brand new market he already has a team is here and he's aiming for three hundred. days three well behaved. i have been into the. milking said to him. through a cow in that respect. i think. i've seen a milk cow. goats. apparently the horses are a little bit too capricious for. the colors they have. the technique. in the winter the fall only produces around one hundred liters of milk a day because there's less straw. as for the he says unless the monsters but in

summer they yield fifty percent of the world assuming the animals a corporation has as. i suggested with all her. lovely and specific job here because the mayor has milk isn't flowing it's a little one gets to suck a little bit i'm not normally make the milk come as an instinctive response once the milk has been collected itself to be processed i was tempted to try some but of salix a explain that it's actually a powerful laxative i became rather less keen. fortunately the fermentation process suitable battles. we should pull right through you. take a look at that. big lovely warm. human face in the head. the fresh milk is mixed with some little ready been processed and after sixty minutes it's ready for packaging.

so there we go for the finishing touch hopefully. one before a very fresh ready for a sanitarium or supermarket need. unfortunately it was a case of one down my ceiling to go. oh it's. been feeling. champagne up all off the news so i think it's time to try one out. healthy and cool it will be best. but if you are looking for

a real drink the moldova and council surrounds has plenty of the peace options. such. as. life and the spice as well as me. somewhere for me. i am already. must say i'm always going to get on the banks i want to swim up the cliff first. i'm a little does carry. some stuff. i'm feeling much more confidence i made my way or the d.j. will shift from us this list. believe me mr d.j. could you show me a few tricks. everything's loaded i'm sure you risk the disc in this club so there were no actual records to mix but they were about fifty three so i'm saying looking going. at this point there are instructions for this one.

hundred thirty. one the singles mix at the seamless i need is a guaranteed flotilla of clear. cut on. my list so she could. get up to take up a comfortable position. thank you. card but the time required class time on my part. but. i guess it. wasn't a joke. it turns out the joy was an aspiring doctor who'd come all the way from st don't study and surround. and the next day we met up for

a walk around the city. of twelve. as i'm an only child. i guess i'll. never give up on anything they go always help us. and he did a lot to me not only to be my brother. do a lot i have my dad you know and that's why you're here yeah that's way and i just see this. girl's been based in surrounds for almost four years but he admits that it's taken time to adapt to russian culture but with another two years before he's quote john's focus is firmly on his studies yeah see since i want to be a doctor at the time i came here because of what i said they give us everything we got. after finishing help. can do something really really well make a difference for an individual get

a chance to prove himself and to do something better for a living sometimes i get to meet really amazing people in my travels and john was clearly inspired by his time and surrounds it's still a city that not many foreigners have seen but only a few years time well that's going to change. now you already seen the mordovia some pretty amazing sports facilities and the stadium is no exception but in twenty eighteen a world cup is coming to russia and a capacity of seventy thousand. just take a. building for surround six new stadium is already underway and it's likely to cost around one hundred eighty million dollars. but with so much at stake the surrounds sky thought it was important to get a feel for the playing conditions. who. were most so in a three one hundred senate race where it is now it's

a display up so far really. well right. if this really could put surrounds them up but it's not going to strangers to world class sports facilities here. of course that. question is the same i definitely his music is on the mark with the logic or object if you manage harim interventions as would be uprising to stalemate will outside powers find themselves pulled deeper into. disarming saddam hussein. charging of iraqi citizens. this event brings further assurance that the torture chambers and the secret police are gone forever.

tries again every embassy in kabul. cherish too much occupied afghanistan. and now could buy sales at guantanamo bay. it is appropriate today in accordance. with the geneva. face slap stomach slap if you can should. especially for just a slap but you don't actually break any bones could deter a geisha techniques that we use in jail. for. nothing. believe.

it might not be long before russia's top footballers will be playing in surrounds but some of the country's best cyclists are already here but looking at this weather you're probably thinking who is likely the best conditions in the world to some be exploiting well the local government agreed with so they decided to do something rather radical. and it's the old first play it's only cupboards full size bill extract. the center and be opened in early two thousand and ten and it's already home to russia's finest roy this. new way is a good deal of progress both a europe and russia a european champion is training here a coach who had worked within the olympic champion is here as well is preparing all

sportsmen for the two thousand and twelve games. also become incredibly popular with the local children more than two hundred fifty young riders train here regularly and the man in charge of them all is coach yuri. before they can become champions they need to learn a few basic skills through. how to go be a mixing as a kid but that was now a very long time ago. they say you never forget riding a bike but if i was going to take on this track i had one or two technical issues sorted out. all the tighter careful on the turn. don't trouble too high. here in the second hump at least. a little bit more.

amazingly. i think i'm probably about. there. more of a cultural buff than a fitness fanatic there's still plenty to see and more jovial. i began my journey with a visit to one of its oldest and most important religious census. this is the same john the evangelist smaller stream which houses churches dating back to the beginning of the eighteenth century but it also doubles as a spiritual physical rehabilitation center. rather rufinus

early in his mid twenty's. yes but he's already lived here for several years. his day begins with early morning prayers but his most important tosk is to supervise the lay brothers who come to live and work in the ministry. you two gentlemen go to the hotels backyards your help is needed there grab the garbage police as for you bring some water as. many of the helpers here are planning to take monastic found us but others mike's ok i'm looking for a different kind of redemption. i joined this monastery because i was an alcoholic and a drug addict people get subsidies for medical assistance people suffering from all kinds of addictions stay here for long periods of time. they come here just to live and work in this holy place they get treatment for free the ministry's atmosphere

and the way of life here help them recover. but it's no easy rowing's in return for their room and board to help us work ten hour day it's kind of the winter weather that means a lot of snow shoveling so this is what they like so again the other help is here the faces tend to change on a fairly regular basis and one thing stays the same none of them are here for material gain they're hoping for more spiritual rewards. personal demons as well. prep plays a vital part everyone is expected to attend early morning and evening services a meal times are each accompanied with bible readings. least. for.

from going to begin here. with complete i headed back to surround for some more sightseeing and to try and find the city's most visited gravesite. you know this is the man i see all of more though his favorite sons and certainly its most famous artist because. of the russian rodin and his work is still on display at the local museum. there is it was born and raised in moldova before study in moscow and moving to italy and france to refine his technique. in the one nine hundred twenty was the soviet government sent him abroad as an ambassador for soviet aunt and he spent almost twenty five years living and working in argentina. and it was here that he created his signature hardwood sculptures is to tell sculpture of moses is one of his most famous works some see

it as a tribute to michael angelo sculpture of the horned moses where others think it takes its inspiration from the more pagan mythological tales perhaps of his youth and more via they couldn't decide about it ben and i still talk about it now. as he returns to russia in one nine hundred fifty and continued to work up until his death but there's still some debate over what actually kills him. i've heard of going for before but never actually telling it but the legend has it that in one nine hundred fifty nine trips. put his head on lennon's nose here and breathed his last. claiming one victim from beyond the gray. and whether you believe it or not and certainly hasn't hurt the artist's legacy. for more than thirty years local children have learned to make handicrafts here

carry on a tradition that dates back centuries. nowadays there are around twenty five children taking classes here and he also has one of the most popular toys apparently all of the easiest to make. preceded. his preparation. of course believe it or not this is the end. he said that look very abstract. fortunately alexander is a patient teacher and several of his students have gone to become lost across some of. what children do here develops their taste for work because the toys reflect

true electives ease some of the school's graduates a well known design is as a matter of fact this school serves as the basis of a development of a trade in objects of art many of our graduates pursue it as a main source of income. my coming was never going to end up in the shops but with a little tweaking from alexander i was pretty happy with my quiet effort. wasn't bad for a super quick with. some very. play. it was starting to get late and we were still quite a long way from surround sc unfortunately alexander was able to point me in the direction of

a rather special hotel. so the more than seems to be pretty amazing all to spot i've heard that they're famous for their hospitality as well and the supposed to be a place around here where i can get a taste of lot and hopefully for the know it. all i wasn't expecting it to be quite so busy. i'm still not good with guest tomorrow who i'm going to take you through a secret motel in the retail these sanctions reach ill will protest to you from evil spirits who you think you might chelsea and taffy ok let's go i already. juggle so does everybody. the. with that. wasn't. the most you can see and certainly not your usual hotel welcome you see.

was the. yeah the was. was. was wasn't it i think. i am. was. was. that when i was. that she was into that was. was the. was the was was. was one precinct. yes the head of the real

martin my god granted a health that is. i can definitely say that want to be pretty unique come for the it's already in trouble membership site on that lou it's not all as they say more. oh. i think good and a good night's sleep. and shuffling my way around moldavia this is definitely a place to come if you've got energy to the. most you'll also find a rich vein of local culture and a group of welcoming inspiring people to help while away those winter believes.
