just over six hundred kilometers east of moscow it's home to around nine hundred thousand people must be some of the fittest in the country. maybe small when it comes to sports it's definitely a major player. say that if i'm going on holiday i'm more likely to head to the beach. but you can't really travel around without at least having a go at some winter sports. i do get to suit some stuff.

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

down to the top it's. just about. oh here. we cut through the. seizing reins. 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 got like what. apparently biathlon also requires unnatural flexibility spread your legs like a. bus i was determined of those tiny little toe use were not going to get the better of me. idea of a little bit of no we've had blood in me. now this part of biathlon i could

definitely get used to. but i think i have to work on my posture. this is why are. they doing here. it's definitely a useful skill to have would the snow just stick on the ground but i decided i'd be better off walking to my first destination. now the horse has always had a special place and more davey and culture traditionally more as a beast of burden or a means of transport rather than anything else but. one local from his group and doing something a little bit more unusual 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 commis which is for mental. 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 i would say is introducing it to a brand new markets he already has a team is here and he's aiming for three hundred. one ways three well behaved. i have been into the. milking said no. to a town that respect. i think. you know i've seen a milk cow. goats. hired me horses are a little bit too capricious for that call as they have. the technique. in the winter the fall money produces around a hundred liters of milk a day because there's less cross for the horses and less demand but in summer they

yield fifty percent of all. the animals a corporation. i suggested an old. lovely and specific job because if the milk isn't flowing this little one gets to suck a little bit i'm not normally make the milk as an instinctive response once the milk has been collected itself to be processed i was tempted to try some but also likes a explained it's actually a powerful laxative i became rather less keen. fortunately the fermentation process suitable bathhouse. which you don't pull right to you. quickly give us. a big slab of lovely warm. and then placed in the seed head. the fresh milk is mixed with some little ready been processed and after sixty minutes it's ready for packaging.

the syrup rice so there we go for the finishing touch hopefully. one before a very fresh coolness ready for a sanitarium or supermarket name. unfortunately it was a case of warm down mice you know and to go. oh it's. been killing this milk champagne not all off the news so i think it's time to try one out. healthy. or beautiful. but if you are looking for a real drink the moldova and council surrounds has plenty of appealing options.

such as a few small but it was going to find i miss a place as well as me. somewhere or me things. already. must simmers going to get on the facts alone it's will most likely because . i'm a little does carry. some stuff. i'm feeling much more complaints i made my way of the city jail should for most of us listen. believe me mr d.j. could you show me a few tricks here. everything's legit ultra risky disc in this club so there were no actual records to mix but they were about fifty three significant dollars. and this one called the instructions for this one.

for mixing was an exact seamless i needed a guaranteed flotilla of clear. cut just my list so should i could. get up to take up a comfortable position. thank you. tom. i'd much prefer my class time back but. i guess you don't. it turns out the jolt 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 there. as i'm an only child

. i guess i'll. never give up on anything they go always help us see what they did a lot to me not only to me my brother. do a lot i have my dad out you know and that's why you're here. 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 his cool finds john's focus is firmly on his studies yeah see since i wanted to be a doctor at the time i came had the unity because it was said that. after finishing all i can help see can do something really really will make 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 my travels and john was clearly inspired by his time and surrounds it's still a city that not many foreigners have seen but in a few years' time all that's going to change. now we've already seen the mordovia some pretty amazing sports facilities and the football stadium is no exception but in twenty eighteen the world cup is coming to russia and a capacity of seventy thousand. to take 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 surrender i thought it was important to get a feel for the playing conditions. oh. the one hundred cities where it is never to be out of play. so i'm

a little in the russian premier league. or worse. if this really could put surrounds on the map but it's not going to strangers to world class sports facilities here. shortly. twenty years ago the largest country in. the sense of places of. course had been trying. to teach began a journey. where to take the. 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 one of the best known persons in the whole world. all his thoughts were focused on flight to could he ever think that his life's work would cost him his life. what happened in those few seconds. and what she could seize silda barrels still hold. your regard any. place on our team. 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 oh look here this weather you're probably thinking who exactly the best conditions in the world do some exploiting well the local government. so they decided to do something wrong the

brother called advances. made some walls put the plates only cupboards full size struck. the center in the open in early two thousand and ten. but it's already home to russia's foreign destroyed just. as we wait a good deal of progress both in the europe and russia a european champion is training here on a college walked with an olympic champion is here as well is preparing all schools men for the two thousand and twelve games. and the sports 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 to 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 to sort out. all the tighter. careful on the turn. don't jump into high. gear with the second hump at least. there's a bit more. work . amazingly.

ok i think i'm probably about twenty. more of a culture buff than a fitness fanatic there's 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 and physical rehabilitation center. brother ruffian is early in his mid twenty's. but he's already lived here for several years. his day begins with early morning prayers but his most important task is to supervise the lay 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 police as for you go and bring some water skis. and many of the helpers here are planning to take monastic found us but others like so 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 monasteries atmosphere and the way of life here help them recover. but it's no easy rowing in return for their room and board to help us work ten hour days and in the winter weather means a lot of snow shoveling so this is what daily life is like in the other 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 hoping for more spiritual rewards. a few personal demons as well. prep plays a vital parts everyone is expected to return early morning and evening service is a meal times are each a company with bible readings. at least. that's needed for going to begin here. with my tasks finally completes i headed back to surround some more sites seem to try and find the city's

most visited grave site. you know this is the man come see all of his favorite sons and certainly its most famous artist because. of the russian row down and his work is still on display in the local museum. here 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 is the soviet government sent him abroad as an ambassador for soviet aunts and he spent almost twenty five years living and working in argentina. and it was here that he created his signature hardwood sculptures to tell moses is one of his 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 his youth and more i couldn't decide about it then and i still talk about it now. as he

returned to russia in nineteen fifteen 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 before but never actually saw it but the lesson has a bit in one nine hundred fifty nine trips. on lennon's notice here and breathed his last. claiming one last victim from the on 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 they. back centuries. nowadays there are around twenty five children to huge losses here and he says one of the most popular toys apparently all of the easiest to make.

procedure. is preparation. because 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 go on to become monster craftsman. 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 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 coin flips. a super super quick with. some very. plain. it was starting to get late and we was still a long way from surround but fortunately alexander was able to point me in the direction of the rather special hotel. so the morning seems to be pretty amazing all to spot i've heard of 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 and hopefully a bed for them though it's here. although i wasn't expecting it to be quite so busy

. most of it i wouldn't do you test the i'm going to take you through a secret model in the retail piece again sion three children who will protect you from evil spirits who you think you might chelsea and taffy yeah ok let's go meet my already who juggles moved out of the family ready this is the. will of the. wasn't. the most you can see and stephanie nor your usual hotel well commission was. the god it. was. was

well as they say more. i think good good night's sleep. i'm shuffling my way around moldavia this is definitely a place to come if you've got energy to. bounce you'll also find a rich vein of local culture and a group of welcoming inspiring people to help while away those winter believes.

disarming saddam hussein. passed charge of iraqi citizens. this event brings further assurance that the torture chambers and the secret police are gone forever the. flag flies again over our embassy in kabul. cherish to watch occupied afghanistan. now occupy sales at one time open a. bed. that is appropriate today in accordance as much as we can with the to the. face story slant if you can judge him enough so that it shocks them especially for good stuff but you don't actually break any tunes. interrogation techniques that we use it to flaunt on our own from the senior leadership. we have nothing to.
