rundown of the hermitage treasures would be complete without mentioning the museum stealing collection of western europe which states really thirteenth century onwards michelangelo manet and goes matisse from its harsh collection is like who's who of parts history. of the valley a hole on the first floor was designed in an eclectic style i and i stuck inside in eight hundred fifty eight in serious here are just breasts aching it occupies the northern territory of the small hamlet stars and that the main focal point is this amazing peacock clock. from seven hundred ninety seven to the present day to people close as you will the hematologist most famous exhibits the figures of the peacock kakul and the form part of this elaborate time piece of fitted with mechanisms the set them in motion today's it was a few of its size still in working condition. to see how fast everybody was but it's really interesting to see so many people from

different places gathered together to see something so unique. is a beautiful especially when it happens when you're out as you may even see the famous schoolroom a collection of antiquities including a large number of goals are facts. bracelets rings earrings and male and female clothing decorations diversions saws lived surrounded by wealth and luxury the earliest looks in the gold ring here date back to the fourth millennium b.c. gold in russia became popular vice liberia and the black sea a wealth of course it's an abundance of gemstones these far behind the splendor of other work in courts while in your precious stones were only on ladies clothes in russia men rivaled women in self to her ration bigotries studded with gold and diamonds only in russia russian our western and sculpture applied prehistoric periods in the early twentieth century is displayed in hundreds of

holes if you do visit. or a group sure to have it's hard because information overload is all you guys can do several languages the truth is given a number which you press when entering you'd simply be lost without a guide of some sort in the home as harsh one of the highlights of the museum is a collection of paintings by leonardo da vinci called madonna and child and is really to be painted in the land where the artist lives in forty eight to the image shows a beat. child personification of maternal love their only child work so they're not all left in the world today we have in this museum i it is entirely up to madonna leaps out and very famous voice elegance in p.t. ali was a challenge i remember from my. textbooks at school and i was really impressed when i said the first time about ten years ago i. said is that jama jabs

this museum and one of the best in the world even if you are not an odd little story and will only be impressed with the home as much as on offer as a museum and a grand palace in war and a visit to the state hemisphere she said pittsburgh this. i think he will never forget. leaving the hermitage now and let's continue our journey crossing the street to the riverside next to the hermitage and you'll see very spent scans and a large jetty this is where we'll catch up harder for boat to peter off the journey takes twenty minutes and is much faster than travelling by car or train you can see on final decision here in italy have to travel around the entire coastline to get to the world part in the state taking a boat or fast wonderful to the area called pretty good for us because the journey time down considerably. and. here we are.

just in the music where the kids of the state museum reserve peterhof is a big complex which includes the palace of peter the great instrument the alexandria park upper and lower parks and peterhof and also parks and palaces in all ramey and by each year more than four million tourists visit if you're off on the area is named one of the wonders of russia when you plan your visit here make sure you cover the whole day just thoroughly enjoy it this is silly. in my opinion this is one of the most players taking sides in russia. because some part of peterhof often referred to as the russian aside. the french palace was the inspiration to consider grace design to build a similar complex in the suburbs of his new city the window to your. face off which means peace is close in germany is essentially hopeless peace is groundless here in

purcell is a bit of the expansion of the grand palace. peterhof was ravaged actually destroyed by the german troops during the second world war it was whether one of the first to be resurrected and i saw the work of military engineers and of the one. thousand volunteers to be a state's major structure being fully restored by nine hundred forty seven the most famous downtown someone peterhof if the grandkids stayed here with dozens of waterjet straight in this breathtaking view so honored by impressive gold statues that the center of the famous samson fountain resting in the jaws of a lion erected in the seven hundred thirty s. it was built to represent russia's victory over sweet with. the grocer behind the great escape which is once used a small policies contains the in the most pipes originally wooden the feet the fountains bush was just a stack and when they were told the fountains were only two the use of gravity. was

really beautiful actually more so than we thought looking at photographs the result people definitely worth a visit beautiful beautiful and it shows a lot of russian history i like it i think it's spectacular humble it was still here more than three hundred years ago and it's just so wholesome and i love the alleyways and the and all the parks and the amazing fountains. and for example sea is not just because here's it's very it's very nice spectacular parkland peterhof is remarkable to see a variety of styles encompassed its layout and features a walk around the gardens is a must every visitor. represents in nearly two centuries of european socratic fashion execute to the highest standards beautiful is like an encyclopedia of design. remember to bring your camera and listen to the parts of mission is not

included when you pay if you harder for johnny. come rain or shine a trip to the venice of the north twenty something you will never forget. from your goosebumps. first time you enter the hematologist dazzling staircase to witnessing the rainbows created by the great escape fountain in peace hall st petersburg's consent involves reconstruction a says simply. as you can see the state's health has come to life and for those who have been to see the magic of the council i suggest you come here quickly to school is an absolutely. absolutely spectacular one of course to me that's all the time we have from sir the most peaceful attractions here in st petersburg i'll see you again at the same time next week so until then for me and the rest of the crew from peterhof by now.

it used to be an ideal place for a holiday wouldn't change in a moment. the wounds of war are still visible. the republic is not only relieved but also shaping the future. the people of the states and our friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder his regime as

an active program to acquire and develop nuclear weapons and let there be no doubt about we know for a fact there are there. this work is being carried out under the direction of dr david kay respected scientist and former u.n. inspector was. the weapons search in iraq we are determined to take this apart we have a tremendous a group of dedicated american men and women involved in this with the best assets of the intelligence community can provide. data cheney is not going to be done with this for quite some time david kay wants more time he says it could take another six to nine months to make a definitive finding ministration is asking congress for hundreds of millions more six hundred million dollars to fund the continuing search have not yet failed shiny pointy things that i would call a weapon before we can draw from conclusions we need to let the iraq survey group complete its work. we were all wrong probably in my judgment

and that is most disturbing. sometimes the true patriots takes the unpopular course but helps the country and wooden stakes and even if they come this way it is from patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels and i think these are scoundrels they have no argument now they have no defense for what they did the country is in a terrible international security situation and i think it's perilous so they're attacking the patriotism of others. plus time slow so i was in the cool john region that's where men flock from all over the world to have a few centimeters to sell cars at. the side bar she goes to the aisle more each year. for the girls who are still gets people like to. her nature to

try flights to save its culture. where cranes are protected and the first step to the fish of nature preserve. the creature. push to close up on the dark sea. but it's on our t.v. just when the u.s. thought it was dealing with its debt it's dealt a blow by a credit score and loses its hallowed through to late ground. for another round of mass protests the biggest a decade says people rage against a government that they say has a bad day. at a painful balance top secret document shows british officers were grilled as to where you know how much they torture prisoners depending on how much information they could get. coming right up it's all the latest in the world of sports.

are most who will face reality of warsaw a lot more to moscow have been drawn against the back east side start out to no car and second to russian side lanny will travel to turkey to start to fix this for the first leg of their ties a game to be played on the eighteenth of august with a return leg i was a week later and. now today there is a massive game in the russian premier league as leaders to scarborough second place to meet five points separate the sides last time they met here scar were aborted attempt to pull victory after the neat failed to field at least one homegrown player both sides this time though have injury problems on mission is did not consolidate and you'll be called a sideline for the army man was an equal serve you see a match and drank a lot as a bitch but could give it how you defend me this seato his debut. look elsewhere today thank you welcome tom there well vulgar and rough still go head to head a good band place and informed the nama who won their last game. but would have

been on his new signings. sim of each is already making an impression at the club at the attacking midfielder from serbia has netted twice so far this season and believes this year could be the year to nominate a serious challenge for the title he spoke with artie's constantine the top off. there's a new scene which was born in munich and developed through the system of local say born when his first move was legal title in two thousand and three however the boston served played just three majors for the german powerhouse before leaving the club spells a block from a new madrid would follow with missing rish finally settling it was born and alongside he's been better at that injector and benefited from brazil ledley will stand inaugural league title in two thousand and nine and that season he was considered one of the best a decade midfielders in europe however when twenty eight sand playmaker left the club for gold to survive to ricky where he made only nine imperium says it falling

out with manager georgie hygene let him to deny moscow it's a big club traditional top in russia over big ambitions how you see and in front as broker with kevin gorani and to tell me all the best and have a fantastic base. and one yeah maybe to win something in the future we see marriage playfully us live for under eighteen missional say where the line outs with the money you need and then colossal each and despite his german place of birth the twenty nine year old midfielder who plays for bosnia and herzegovina in fact is the most capped to play in the state's history and like many serge who play in russia he feels comfortable here the very happy to play in this league i think i remember miss moscow. so much i'm in manchester i'm one of german

u. boats. my parents are from bosnia herzegovina but i am. orthodox like the russian people so for me is a normal big problem and you know i see third in the premier league at the moment and can boast a six nation winning run and with no life so for me when i am carrying granny and russian international egotist i'm sure it's where the team believes. position and hold on this position and. safety is most of my colleagues hopefully international games in europe. and i hope we make the step this year with an arm or two to play next year. you will equal between champions who do now have one of the best forward units in the league and despite the fact that you seem interesting to nail down in policing the gavel being this league a medal holder is aiming to become an east wind sleep is denied encouraged russian championship his name and out of. now there is just

a week to go before the start of the english premier league into the heavyweights there will clash in the traditional charity shield curtain raiser on sunday attending champions manchester united are up against f.a. cup winners manchester city although city boss man cheney says his side still aren't one hundred percent fit. this season is important because. these games really seem to be and i think he said there we're we want to invite him to united. but i don't think that a good team in this moment. percent already can play the. right maybe for miles because we. only hear. the first we. are all very very. fast relics ferguson meanwhile says the english champions could be further strengthened by more summer signings the reds have brought in ashley

young from aston villa phil jones from blackburn and spanish and the twenty one goalkeeper david here but there could be more. but the memories still seem a couple more prayers. that. we get there's always a real clubs around to buy. those. the importance of women's weekly reduce. russia's former world champion pole vaulters that man a fear fund of a has produced the season's best at the diamond league meeting early for me to seventy one enough for third place in london yesterday genesis of the united states won the event clearing four point seven nine meters refuse w.b. can clean isn't viable wasn't competing results. were second sentence behind a long track greatest eighteen year old james won the four hundred meters in the
