hello again on satellite on cable and on line twenty four seven this is the channel from moscow these are all top stories they shared grief poles and russians alike gathered to mourn the late kinski and ninety five members of the polish political elite killed in a plane crash in western russia a year ago. the british military reports sitting seven pro-government tanks in libya but support for nato is still shaky after previous blunders in the operation

meantime a group of african leaders on a mission to try and ease the conflict between the government and gravel. and top financial minds gathering iconic american tired of discuss what went wrong with the world's economy and where it needs to go to avoid a repeat of placing the dollar as a reserve currency and the control of the emerging markets are among them. now the chance to discover more of russia's time james brown travels to the public of some of russia's most accomplished. as are about to find. prospectors. plunges well below zero the snow seems to come up to your waist and you should follow your friends and voice copes. a trip to the republican via. just over six hundred. it's home to around one hundred thousand people must be some

of the fittest in the country. may be small when it comes to school it's definitely a major player. to say that if i'm going on holiday i'm more likely to head to the beach. but you can already 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 have the tracks here some shooting and cross-country skiing from experts to absolute beginners.

i finally got the right equipment but it had been a very long time since i struck out on some skis. and there was always the promise of some place to look forward to. no one told me that i was going to have to trek through the forest to reach it. till maybe the hardest thing. scandinavian. well. i read this for a month. but finally i made it over the top down to the top gets. just about. good my.

ok fur we could be. seizing rain. and it was time for a noise relaxing loiter. proposed besides. lie down the. no no on your stomach but one leg here why. he's going like what. apparently my athlone also requires unnatural flexibility to spread your legs like a. bus i was determined of those tiny little told it's were not going to get the better of me. yet. the idea of a little bit of norwegian blood in me. now this part of biathlon i could definitely get used to. particularly have to work on my posture. this is where our.

very. own is it's definitely a useful skill to have with the snow this thick on the ground but i decided i would be better off walking to my first destination. though the horse has always had a special place in more davey and culture but traditionally more as a beast of burden or a means of transport rather than anything else but. 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 coma's which is for mental 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. one ways through the well behaved . had to be. said to him. to account in that respect. i think. they are seeing a milk. goats. parrot me horses are a little bit too capricious for that because they have. the technique. in the minds of the farmer only produces around one hundred liters of milk a day because there's less straw. as for the horses and last a month but in summer they yield fifty percent. assuming the animals a corporation. suggested an old. lovely and specific job

because if the milk isn't flowing this little one gets to suck a little bits are not normally will make with milk as an instinctive response once the milk has been collected it's off to be processed i was tempted to try some but over time makes a splay and it's actually a powerful laxative i became rather less keen. fortunately the fermentation process sweet little bottles. we should on the floor it's. clearly give us. a big slab of lovely warm. place to receive. the fresh milk is mixed with some little ready been processed and off to sixty minutes it's ready for packaging.

so there will be. the finishing touch hopefully. one before a very fresh conus ready for a sanitarium or supermarket need. unfortunately it was a case of one down mice you know and to go. oh it's. been doing this milk some day not all last noon so i think it's time to try one out. healthy and moldy alcoholic. but if you are looking for a real drink more jovian council surrounds has plenty of the peak options.

such places. like i misplace as well as me. somewhere are things. i am already. must impose gilligan on the decks i want to swarm up with first. i'm a little does carry. some stuff. i'm feeling much more confident i made my way a d.j. all should come with this list. believe me mr d.j. could you show me a few tricks. everything's loaded ultra risky disc in this club so there were no actual records to mix but there were about fifty three to one single thing going. and it's quite hard to hear instructions from this one.

for mixing with an existing seamless leaders are guaranteed to fill a clear. cut just my list so should good. enough to take up a far more comfortable position. thank you. long. hard but it's not a required class time. but. i guess it. was raised on. it turns out the jolt was an aspiring doctor who'd come all the way from st john's study in surround. and the next day we met up for a walk around the city. as i'm an only child.

i guess. but i'll never give up on anything they go always help us all with what and he did a lot to me not only to me for my brother. do a lot i have about you know and that's why you're here yeah that's why i came here and i just said this. been based in ceramics for almost four years but he admits that it's taken time to adapt to russian culture over the other two years before he's cool floyd's films focus is firmly on his study it's yeah see since i want to be a doctor in the time i came to get the paternity because it was said to give us everything we got we got after finishing help. can do something really really. make a difference and get a chance to prove himself and to do something better for a living sometimes i get to meet really amazing people of my troubles and john was

clearly and small and all his time in surround. 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 them although he has 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 going to cut. building to 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 for surrounded sky i thought it was important to get a feel for the plane conditions. oh so when i saw him if he wanted three senate seats or if there's no it's not it's three out of which is play . so i thought really no rough and run me out it.

was the right. if. this really could put some runs come up but it's not one of the strangest wild close sports facilities here. for. disarming saddam hussein. chardy of iraqi citizens. this event brings further assurance to torture chambers and the secret police are gone forever. tries again over embassy in kabul. cherish too much occupied afghanistan. and now occupy sales at guantanamo bay. it is appropriate today in accordance. with the to be the. face

slap stomach's like if you can shoot them enough so that it shocks them especially if it gets slapped but you don't actually break it in terms of. interrogation techniques that we use it. all for the senior leadership of our god. would be and i think. we believe transferred. chosen from among many. he was given a clear cut mission. the 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. could he ever think that his life's work would cost him his

life. what happened in those few seconds. and what secrets these sealed barrels still hold. keurig are any good. 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 now looking at this weather you're probably thinking not exactly the best conditions in the world exploiting well the local government agreed with so they decided to do something rather practical about. it so gold for the planet's only cupboards full size spirit struck.

the center in the open in the early two thousand and ten but it's already home to russia's finest reuters. as we wait a good deal of progress both a europe and a european champion is training here a call it's already walked within the olympic champion is here as well but there are no sportsman for the two thousand and twelve games. and the sport's also become incredibly popular with the local children more than two hundred fifty young riders train here regularly. the man in charge of the mall 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 on point 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 gamble too high. here the second hump at least. that is a bit more. amazingly and bloody ok 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 a visit to 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 and physical rehabilitation center. rather roofie in his early in his mid twenty's but he's already lived there for several years. his day begins with early morning prayers but his most important sauce. just to supervise the lay 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. some. or many of the helpers here are planning to take monastic found us but others likes 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 monasteries atmosphere and the way of life here help them recover. but it's no easy rawlins and return for their room and board and help us work ten hour days and in the winter weather that means a lot of snow shoveling so this is what daily life is like in the other help because here i face is ten to change on a fairly regular basis and one thing stays the same none of them are here for material gain 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. they released. from the day in hand. with my tasks finally complete i headed back to surround six more site seen and to try and find the city's most visited grave site. and this is the man i see all of more though his favorite sons and certainly its most famous artist called step of the russian row down his work is

still on display in the local museum. there is it was born and raised and more before studying in moscow and moving to italy and france to refine his technique. in the one nine hundred twenty years the soviet government sent him abroad as an ambassador of the 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 is to tell the sculpture of moses is one of his most famous works some see it as a tribute to michael angelo sculpture of the horn of moses where others think it takes its inspiration from the more pagan mythological tales perhaps of it's his youth and more of you we 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 over what actually kills him. now i've heard of going for before but never actually telling boeing it's but the

lesson has it that in one nine hundred fifty nine trips fell put his head on lennon's notice here and breathed his last. claiming one. from beyond the grave. and whether you believe it or not it certainly hasn't the artist's legacy. for more than thirty years local children have learned to make hundred crofts here carry on a tradition that dates back centuries. nowadays there are around twenty five children taking classes here and he says one of. most popular toy is apparently one of the easiest to make. painstaking procedure in. his preparation.

of course believe it or not this is going to end up looking like. he said that look very abstract. fortunately alexander is a patient teacher and several of his students are going to become most across. 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 echoing effort.

a super super quick with. some very. plain. 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 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 it here. although i wasn't expecting it to be quite so busy. that i would go with do you guest tomorrow the i'm going to take you through a secret motel and the reach show you these sanctions reach ill will protect you from evil spirits who you think you might shelf and taffy yeah ok let's go i

already. juggle some of them have definitely ready. the. with the. wasn't. the most you can see it's definitely not your usual hotel welcome it. was. was the. the god it. was wasn't it and seek out wasn't it. was. was

was it was it that she was that was was the was was was once imprisoned. yes we head over there real martin may god grant your health and that is ok. i can definitely say that would be pretty unique comfort in knowing it's. tribal membership site on that let's not 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 local culture and a group of welcoming inspiring people to help while away those winter believes.
