nothing was it worth it it's a good estate museum reserve peterhof is a great complex which includes the palace of peter the great instrument the alexandria park upper and lower parks and pier hoff and also parks and polishes in all ramey embalm each year more than four million tourists visit peterhof 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 least taking sides in russia. because some part of peace hoff often referred to as the brushing aside. the french palace was the inspiration for a piece of the greats designed to build a similar complex in the suburbs of his new city the window to your. peace hall which means peace is close in germany is equally popular pieces ground and priscilla's a bit of the expansion of the grand rapids. peterhof

was ravaged and searched the destroyed by the german troops during the second world war it was where the one of the first to be resurrected and i saw the work of military engineers in over one. thousand volunteers to be statesmen destruction has been fully restored by nine hundred forty seven the most famous towns around someone peterhof if the ground could stay here with dozens of water jets greatly with breathtaking view surrounded by impressive growth that used up the center 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 sweden. the grocer behind the great escape which is once she's a small policies contains the in the most pipes original wooden the feet the fountains most businesses a stack of when they were told the fountains were only for the use of gravity. it's

really beautiful actually more so than we thought looking at photographs that we saw people again definitely worth a visit beautiful beautiful and it shows a lot of russian history i like it i think it's spectacular probably it was still here more than three hundred years ago and it's just awesome and i love the alleyways and the and to all the parks and the amazing fountains. in the hot sun for example salsa c. is not as big as this year so it's very it's very much a spectacular parklands a piece of whole fish mockable for the sheer variety of styles encompassed this layout in features a walk around the gardens is a must for every visitor. representing nearly two centuries of european socratic fashion execute to the high standards the top is like an encyclopedia of design.

remember to bring your camera and also note the font submission is not included when you pay if you harder for john to. come rain or shine a trip to the venice of the north to be something you'll never forget. from your goosebumps. first time you enter the hematologist dazzling staircase to the sing the rainbow is created by the grandkids skase counted in peace hall said petersburg consent and vos reconstruction associate. as you can see the story we tell has come to life and for those who happen to see the magic of the of the council i suggest you come here quickly before you even come to look. absolutely spectacular one of course to me that's all the time we have from some of the most beautiful 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.

we'll. bring you the latest in science technology from the realms. of the future coverage. 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. is we're just being carried out under the direction of dr david kay respected scientist and former u.n.

inspector was leading 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 and the best assets of the intelligence community hampered by. david. haiti is not going to be done with this for quite some time david kay wants more time and 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 a continuing search have not yet felt 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 patriot takes the unpopular course that helps the country avoid the stakes and even if they come this way at least for treatment 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 but i think it's perilous so they're attacking the patriotism of others.

and of course stripped us of its highest credit rating in the country china has already said it's time. for. mass protests some have already compared to countries like revolutionary. inquiries on. how much prisoners should get tortured for information. the closed doors approach one of the questions they got. right alan used in full coming your way in fifteen minutes for that ok it's right

russian international egotist ensure it's where the team believe they belong. we are now in third position and i hope we stay on this position and you must so yeah safest and most of my colleagues i play international games in europe and i hope that we make the step for this year over the normal into play next year when. you're really clearly been champions for dinner we had one of the best forwards units in the league and despite the fact that missing wish has still to mean their only place in the attack the double being this league a medal holder is aiming to become a me some new blue and white sleeve as the american story first russian championship as a man of parity. well me model being monitored got a good idea of says his side have an extremely tough task in qualifying for this season's champions league because onside had been drawn against french giants in the all in the playoff stage with a place in the lucrative group stage at stake but that's not just takes place on the sixteenth in france with the return leg on august twenty fourth in cousin but
