completely you just pretty you start putting up and soon outer space. well you're watching r t the headlines now russia and poland hold memorial events to commemorate a plane crash that killed the polish president and ninety five others and it's not the end school year ago the country's leader and the knowledge part of the political elite were on their way to events marking another tragedy to massacre martin from to. rebel disillusionment with nato his actions and libya turns their anger after an audience in general to apologize for so-called friendly fire and

strikes which killed opposition pointers. and u.s. lawmakers scraped together an agreement for the billions in spending cuts that are already averting the first government shutdown in fifteen minutes if the shutdown have happened hundreds of thousands of public employees including soldiers and teachers would not have been paid. for the next join our team as they continue to discover central russia it's time they travel to the republic of one of the via. some of russia's most accomplished artists. prospect. plunges well below zero the snow seems to come up to your waist and you really wish you'd followed 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 speak it's definitely a major player. to say that on going on holiday are more likely to head to the beach. but you can already travel around russell without at least having a go at some winter sports and at least with this one i do get to see some stuff. a bit. every day dozens of people head out to the tracks here for some shooting in

cross-country skiing from experts to absolutely canvas. i finally got the right equipment but i have 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. that's why much more. and finally i made it over the top down to the top it's. just about. good my.

ok. we've got through the. season range. and it was time for a noise relaxing light out you put the post besides. lie down the. no no on your stomach but one leg here why. so 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 you were not going to get the best of me. yet. your idea of a little bit of norwegian blood in me. now this part of biathlon could definitely get used to. but i think i have to work on my posture. oh yeah this is where i

would do the right thing they'd ever hear. oh. it's definitely a useful skills or how would the snow on the ground but i decided i'd be better off walking to my first destination. you know the horse has always had a special place in view and culture traditionally more as a beast of burden or means of transport than anything else but. the local farm has been doing something. that's all down to animal entrepreneurs aleksei. i used to work as a vet but i had one point some of my colleagues and i decided to start a farm producing chromos which is for mental mares milk we've been operating for just over two years we have katie 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. one ways three well behaved. the. king said there. are a cow. think . they are seen a milk can. go it's. hardly horses are a little bit too confessions for rats to coalesce. the techniques better. than the ones of the foam only produces around one hundred liters of milk a day because there's less grass for the horses and less to monster but in summer they yield fifty percent. assuming the animals

a corporation of course. consider this little bowl here has a. lovely and specific job because if the mayor's milk isn't flowing this 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 something but also likes a explain that it's actually a powerful laxative i became rather less keen. fortunately the fermentation process. which you don't pull right to you. take a look at that. big slab of lovely warm. in. a men's creation machine head. the fresh milk is mixed with some little ready to be processed and after sixty minutes it's ready for packaging.

the finishing touch hopefully. done before a very fresh coolness ready for a sanitarium or supermarket name. unfortunately it was a case of one down my ceiling to go. oh yes. i've been feeling this milk champagne up all off the news so i think it's time to try one out. healthy. but if you are looking for a real drink the moldova and council surrounds has plenty of the peace option.

some say if you slow but i sat down at my side and this place as well as me. somewhere for me. i am already. the fuss him always going to get on the decks i want to swarm up proclaim goodness . i'm a little does cards. come. in feeling much more confident i made my way of the city jail ship for months this list. you leave me with the d.j. could you show me a few tricks. everything's loaded on st crispin's disc in this club so there were no actual records to mix but there were about fifty three the same looking going. and it's quite hard to hear instructions from this land.

when the singles in exactly seamless lead is a guaranteed little fella a quick. cut to my list so she's currently good. enough to take up a comfortable position. thank you. long. hard but every time it was like last time a tax cut. i guess it. wasn't a joke. it turns out the joy was an aspiring doctor who'd come all the way from st johns to study in surat. and the next day we met up for a walk around the city. twelve presence as near. 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 for my brother. do a lot to have my dad out 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 his cool finds john's focus is firmly on his studies yeah see since i want to be a doctor the time make him hate the paternity. leave us everything. we've got after finishing all i can help see him do something that really really will make a difference in the 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 inspired by his time in surrounds us it's still a city that not many foreigners have seen but a few years time well that's going to change. that we've already seen the mordovia 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. to state that a. building for 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. where it is now it's a. big. boys

. if this really could put them up but it's not going to strangers to world class sports facilities here. saddam hussein. charge of the iraqi citizens. this event brings further assurance that the torture chambers and the secret police are gone forever.

flies again over our embassy in kabul. cherish too much occupied afghanistan. and now occupy sales at guantanamo bay. in the med. it is appropriate to do it in accordance. with the geneva. face lab something slight if you can shoot them enough so that it shocks especially if it gets slapped but you don't actually break any bones could deter occasion techniques that we use in kuantan. but. we have nothing to. do we believe the transfer. of. it might not be long before russia's top

footballers will be playing in ceramics but some of the country's best cyclists are already here well here this weather you're probably thinking who lives up to the best conditions in the world to some b. of exploiting well the local government agreeing with you so they decided to do something wrong. and it's the old foot of play it's only cupboards full size fail it struck. the center in the open in early two thousand and ten. it's already home to rush this morning the strongest. thing we weighed a good deal of progress both in the europe and russia a european champion is training here i caught who had walked within the olympic champion is here as well is preparing all sportsman 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 during. before they can become champions they need to learn a few basic skills. 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 have one or two technical issues to sort out. all the tighter. careful on the turn. don't jump or too high. gear or the second hump at least. it is in a bit more. amazingly

. ok i think i'm probably. more of a culture buff than a fitness fanatic this still plenty to see and more. i began my journey with a visit to one of its oldest and most important religious sentence. 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. brother ruffian is

early in his mid twenty's. yes but he's already lived there 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 ministry. you two gentlemen go to the hotel's backyard your help is needed there grab the garbage cleats as for you bring some water skis. and many of the helpers here are planning to take monastic vows but others might say ok i'm looking for a different kind of redemption. i joined this monastery because i was an alcoholic and a drug addict late 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 ministries atmosphere and the way of life here help them recover. but it's no easy right

in return for their room and board to help us work ten hour day it's and in the winter weather that means a lot of snow shoveling so this is what daily life is like in the other help as here the faces tend to change on a fairly regular basis the one thing stays the same none of them are here for material gain they're all hoping for more spiritual rewards. the humans as well. prep plays a vital parts everyone is expected to attend early morning and evening services a meal times are each accompanied with bible readings. the beginning of a least. for.

me and it was all going to begin here. with my tasks finally complete i headed back to surround some more sightseeing and to try and find the city's most visited grave site. and this is the man i've come. all of those years favorite sons and certainly its most famous artist because. of the russian road his work is still on display in the local museum. there is it was born and raised in moldova before study in moscow and moving to italy in france to refine his technique. in the one nine hundred twenty s. the soviet government sent him abroad as an ambassador for soviet aunts and he spent almost twenty five years living and working in ocean tina. it was here that he created his signature hardwood sculptures. to tell moses is one of the most

famous works some see it as a tribute to michelangelo sculpture of the horned moses where others think it takes its inspiration from the more pagan mythological tales perhaps of its years in youth and more due i couldn't decide about it then and i 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 of what actually kills him. now i've heard of going for before but never actually telling poets but religion has it that in one nine hundred fifty nine trips fell. from lennon's nervous here and breathed his last. claiming one victim from beyond the grey. and whether you believe it or not and certainly hasn't 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 on horses one of the most popular toy is apparently one of the easiest to make. this. is preparation. course believe it or not this is going to actually end up looking like a. p.c. that look very abstract. fortunately alexander is a patient teacher and several of his students are going to become the most across. what children do here develops their taste for work because the toys 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 a development of a trade in objects of us many of them 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 a coin but. yeah bad for a super super quick with. some very fast. play. it was starting to get late and we were still a long way from saran sc fortunately alexander was able to point me in the direction of the road a special hotel. so the moon seems to be pretty amazing all to spot i've had the

famous for their hospitality as well and they're supposed to be a place around here where i can get a taste of that hopefully a bed for the know it's here. i wasn't expecting it to be quite so busy. most of it i wouldn't do you guessed who i'm going to take you through a secret model in the retail is that the sitting sion three children will protect you from evil spirits who you think you much healthier and taffy yeah ok let's go i already. know some of those aren't ready this is the. will of the. wasn't. the most you can see and stephanie not your usual hotel welcome it. was was the

it's. the was it. was wasn't it i think it was it was a and it was. was. was get i was it that you can do was the was. was one precinct. yes we have

a real martin may god grant your health that is ok. i can definitely say that want to be a pretty unique come from the lights going on marine tribal membership site on that let's not. say more. i think good and a good night's sleep. and shuffling my way around. this is definitely a place to come if you've got energy to. you'll also find a rich vein of local culture and a group of welcoming inspiring people to help while away those winter blues.

chosen from among many. he was given a clear cut mission. a mission he successfully accomplished. became the first ever man in outer space. hero of the soviet union and one of the best known persons in the fold with. all his thoughts were focused on flights to could he ever think that his life's work would cost him his life. one happened in those few seconds. and what secrets these sealed barrels still hold. keurig are any.
