may be small when it comes to sports it's definitely a major player. but if i'm going on holiday i'm more likely to head to the beach. but you can't really travel around russell without at least having a go at some winter sports and. i do get to see some stuff. every day dozens of people head out to the tracks here for some shooting and cross-country skiing from experts to absolutely can it's.

quite fun we got the right equipment but i have been a very long time since i'd strap 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. till maybe the hardest thing. scandinavian. well. i read this for a month. and finally i made it over the top right down to the top it's. just about four or. oh here. we've got through the. ceasing range. and

it was time for annoyance relaxing lloyd how do you. propose to decide. to lie down the. no no on your stomach but one leg here why. he's going out. apparently while flown also requires unnatural flexibility to spread your legs like a. bus i was determined of those tiny little toe yes we're not going to get the better of me. yet. i will be idea of a little bit of norwegian blood in me. now this ball of biathlon could definitely get used to. but i think i have to work on my posture. this is where are. they doing here. it's

definitely a useful skill to how would the snow just stick on the ground but i decided i'd be better off walking to my first destination. though the horses always have a special place in more davey and culture traditionally more as a beast of burden or a means of transport rather than anything else but. one local farm has been doing something. and that's all down to animal entrepreneurs aleksey 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've 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 markets he already has a team is here and he's aiming for three hundred. days story well behaved.

the. king said now. to count all the respect. i think. you know i've seen a milk cow. goats. parrot me horses are a little bit too capricious for that because. the technique. in the winter the palm only produces around a hundred liters of milk a day because there's less straw. as for the horses i'm blessed i'm on a plane in summer they yield fifty percent of the world assuming the animals a corporation which. i suggested. lovely and specific job because if the milk isn't flowing this little one gets to suck

a little bits i'm not normally will make will come as an instinctive response once the milk has been collected it's off to be processed i was tempted to try something but also to excite explain that it's actually a powerful laxative i became robel a scheme. fortunately the fermentation process will bottom out. which you don't pull right through you it's a live us. big slab of lovely warm. and then placed in the head. the fresh milk is mixed with some little ready been processed and off to sixty minutes it's ready for packaging. so there we go for the finishing touch hopefully.

one before a very fresh chorus ready for a sanitarium or supermarket name. unfortunately it was a case of warm down mice you know and to go. oh yes. i've been feeling. some pain up noon so i think it's time to try one out. healthy and modelled holik or beautiful. but if you are looking for a real drink the more jovian capital surrounds has plenty of the pieces not should . take you slow but the pike side and this place as well as me. these inside somewhere are

me thanks for. reading. the fuss it was going to get on the thanks i wanted to warm up folks like us. a little does carry. some stuff. i'm feeling much more confident i made my way or the d.j. will shift from us this list. to leave me with the d.j. could you show me a few tricks is. everything's legit ultra rich be disc in this club so there were no actual records to mix but they were about fifty three to one saying look i'm going to. win this one there are instructions for them it's the same. thing. on the singles in exactly seamless i needed a guaranteed flotilla of clear. cut

so that my list so she could get an adult to take up a comfortable position. thank you. i'd much prefer it was like last time a part. but. i guess it. was. it turns out the joy was an aspiring doctor to come all the way from st john's study and surround. the next day we met up for a walk around the city. of twelve brothers and sisters. as i'm an only child. i guess. but i never give up on anything they go

always help us all with what he did a lot to me not only to me my brother. do a lot i have my dad. and that's why you're here that's why i came here and i just see this. 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 quite a following its charms focus is firmly on his studies yeah you see since i want to be a bit of time to time i came here because it was said they give us everything i got . after finishing and i think i have. can do something really really well making a difference in this individual got a chance to prove himself and to do something better for a living sometimes i get to meet really amazing people much troubles and john was clearly unspoiled all his time and surrounds us it's still

a city that not many foreigners have seen but in a few years' time what's going to change. that we've already seen them although he has some pretty amazing sports facilities and the stadium is no exception but in twenty eighteen the world cup is coming to russia and a capacity of seventy thousand. just make it a. building to surround six new stadium is already underway and it's going to cost around one hundred eighty million dollars. but with so much at stake for surrounds i thought it was important to get a feel for the playing conditions. oh. we want to facilitate barack is never to be out of his play. so far below him in russia friendly i beg. your voice all right. if this really could put surrounds the map but it's not going to strangers to world

class sports facilities here. brooke. when that says not enough. when it's something really crucial. when you want to get down to brass tacks we bring you special coverage here on in a place already synonymous with tragedy the world witnessed another disaster that left the country devastated. and united two nations in grief. question them all on. disarming saddam hussein. passenger 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. cares to much occupied afghanistan. and now occupy sales at guantanamo bay. image man. it is appropriate today in accordance as which is speaking if he can even. face lab summary slap if you can should diminish so that it shocks especially if you just slap but you don't actually break it. could deter gays and take each that we use in jail going tom. but the senior leadership. here will give nothing to. believe in transparency.

it might not be long before russia's top footballers will be playing it surrounds. but some of the country's best cyclists are already here looking at this weather you're probably thinking who exactly the best conditions in the world be exploiting well the local government agreed with you so they decided to do something rather graphical about. it so cold but the planets the cupboards full size feet of obstruct. the center in the open in early two thousand and ten but it's already home to russia's finest reuter's. weighed a good deal of progress both in the europe and russia a european champion this training here i call which i had worked with in 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 coached europe. before they can become champions they need to learn a few basic skills. i had a good beer 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 to sort out. all the tighter. careful on the turn. don't jump into high.

gear or the second hump at least. that is a bit more. amazingly . i think i'm probably about. there. more of a culture buff than a fitness fanatic there's still plenty to see in mordovia. i began my journey with the visits one of its oldest and most important religious substance. 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 ruffian leisurely 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 late brothers who come to live and work in the monastery. you two gentlemen go to the hotels backyards your help is needed there you go grab the garbage police as for you go and bring some water as. many of the helpers here are planning to take monastic fowler's but others might say ok i 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 monasteries atmosphere and the way of life here help them recover. but it's no easy right in return for their room and board help us work ten hour days and in the winter weather i means a lot of snow shoveling so this is what daily life is like in the other helpers 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 though hoping for more spiritual rewards. a few personal demons as well. prep plays a vital part everyone is expected to attend every morning and evening services and

meal times are each accompanied with bible readings. to. a a least. day in hand. with my tasks when we complete i headed back to surround this more site scene and to try and find the city's most visited gravesite . this is the man come see all of his favorite sons and certainly its most famous artist because. of the russian row down there is work still on display in the local museum. there is it was born and raised and more jovial before studying in moscow and moving to italy in france to refine his technique. in the one nine hundred twenty is the soviet government sent him abroad as an ambassador of the 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. sculpture of moses is one of his most famous works some see it as attributes of michelangelo sculpture of the horns of moses where others think it takes its inspiration from the more pagan mythological tales perhaps his youth and view they couldn't decide about it then and they still talk about it now. as he returned 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. now i've heard of going for your art before but never actually telling boy it but the legend has it that in one nine hundred fifty nine trips fell. on lennon's notice here and breathed his last. claiming one victim from beyond the fray. and whether you believe it or not and

certainly has the artist's legacy. more than thirty years local children have learned to make handicrafts here carry on a tradition that dates back centuries. now a days there are around twenty five children taking classes here and he says one of the most popular toy is apparently all of the easiest to make. painstaking proceed. his preparation. of course believe it or not this is going to. look very abstract. fortunately alexander is

a patient teacher and several of his students are going to become lost across. what children do here develops their taste for work because the choice reflect rule activities some of the school's graduates are well known designers as a matter of fact this school serves as the basis of the development of a trade in objects of art many of them graduates pursue it as a main source of income. my coming was never going to end up in the shops parts with a little tweaking from alexander i was pretty happy with my current efforts. not. a super super quick whistling session some very. spray. it was starting to get

late and we were still quite a long way from surround but fortunately alexander was able to point me in the direction of a rather special hotel. so the mornin seems to be pretty amazing all to spoil i've heard that they're famous for their hospitality as well and they're supposed to be a place right here where i can get a taste of that and hopefully a bed for the right here. although i wasn't expecting it to be quite so busy. that i wouldn't do guest tomorrow the i'm going to take you through a secret model in the rechannel the piece again should we chill will protect you from evil spirits who you think you might chelsea and taffy ok let's go i already. have seventy ready. the. will of the them. wasn't. them as you can see

it's just me not your usual hotel welcome it. was the. the god. was wasn't it i think it. was was was. was it that was it that he wasn't that was

the was was once and pretty. yes we have a real martin my god granted a health that is. i can definitely say that would be pretty unique come for the knights. tribal membership site and let's not all as they say mourn been. 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 took the. bus you'll also find a rich spade of local culture and a group of welcoming inspiring people to help while away those when suppliers.
