interested in bridges gouri days it's not just bush insistences all the exhibits illuminating brushes imperial past also the rundown of the hermitage treasures would be complete without mentioning the museum stimming collection of western european art the states with thirteenth century onwards michelangelo money from ghost matisse from its harsh collection is like a who's who of art history. believe a hole on the floor was designed in an eclectic style i and i stuck inside a eight hundred fifty eight in serious here are just breasts aka it occupies the northern territory of the small habits and that the main focal point is this amazing peacock clock. from seven hundred ninety seven to the present day the peacock cloak has been one of the hematologist most famous exhibits the figures of the peacock cuckoo and now the fun part of this elaborate fine piece of it with mechanisms that set them in motion today so it's one of the few of its size still

in working condition. see how fast everybody was but it's really interesting to see some new people from different places gathered together to see something so unique very very beautiful especially when it keeps up the chain around it that has made me even see the famous school room a collection of antiquities including a large number of gold artifacts. bracelets and rings earrings and male and female clothing decorations the russian saws lived surrounded by wealth and luxury the earliest looks in the gold ring here date back to the fields millennium b.c. gold in russia became popular by siberia and the black sea the wealth includes a of course it's an abundance of gemstones the spot behind the splendor of other you work in courts while your precious stones were only on ladies' clothes in russia men rivaled women in self to her ration dimitris studies gold and diamonds

impressed when i searched for the first time about ten years ago i. said this is a gem of jabs this museum and one of the best in the world even if you are not an author level story and will only be impressed with what mr marsh has on offer as a museum and a grand palace in war and a visit to the state hematology said he is but it's. something you will never forget. leaving the hermitage now and let's continue our journey crossing the street to the riverside nixon hematologist and you'll see various points stands and a large jetty this is where we'll catch off guard a full boat to peterhof the journey takes twenty minutes and is much faster than travelling by car or train you can see on final destination in only have to travel around the entire coastline to get to the world part in a state taking a boat or fast wonderful to the area called to the border that's because the journey time down considerably.

here we are. just in was it over the it's a good estate museum reserved peterhof is a big complex wishing to use the palace of peter the great instrument the alexandria park upper and lower parks and earhart and also parks and polishes in iranian bomb each year more than four million tourists visit peterhof on the earlier is named one of the wonders of russia when you plan your visit here make sure you cover the whole day just thoroughly enjoy this is silly. in my opinion this is one of the most to taking sides in russia. because some part of peace often often referred to as the brushing aside. the french palace was the inspiration for a piece of the great desire to build a similar complex in the suburbs of his new city the window to your. piece of

health which means peace is close in jail it is easy to leap a little peace is gradually said and person is a bit was the expansion of the grand palace. peterhof was ravaged i'm virtually 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 a one. thousand volunteers the states may destruction has been fully restored by nine hundred forty seven the most famous fountain on someone peterhof it's a grand scale with dozens of water jets greatly missed breathtaking view surrounded by impressive gold statues at the center of the famous something found resting in the jaws of a lion erected in the seven hundred thirty three was built to represent russia's victory over sweden. the grocer behind the great escape which is once used to small policies contains

the enormous pipes originally wooden the feet of fountains bush was just a stack and when they were told the differences were only for the use of gravity. it's really beautiful actually more so than we thought looking at photographs that we saw people definitely worth a visit beautiful beautiful and it shows a lot of russian history i like it i think it's spectacular how cool it would still be a month a hundred years ago and it's just awesome and i love the alleyways and the and the all the parks and the amazing council even. in my time for example since the sea is not as big as this year so it's very experienced the spectacular parklands a piece of house is remarkable for the shia variety of styles encompass its layout the features a walk around the gazans is a must for every visitor. representing the two centuries of european first across

expression executed to the high standards beautiful is like an encyclopedia of design. remember to bring your camera and listen to the force of mission 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 the. first time you enter the hematologist dazzling staircase to elicit the rainbows created by the grandkids skase fountain in peace hall sgt said his buds consent and vos reconstruction a says to make a dog. as you can see the fairy tale has come to life and for those who come to see the magic of the open council i suggest you come here quickly this is an absolutely . absolutely spectacular of course the last hotel we have from sir 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. it used to be an ideal place for a holiday to change in a moment. the wounds of war are still visible. the republic is not only relieved but also shaping the future.

is the. the people of the united states and their friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder is regime has an active program to acquire and develop nuclear weapons and let there be no doubt about the know for a fact there are limits there. and this work is 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 you have a tremendous a group of dedicated american men and women involved in this with the best assets

of the intelligence community and provide. data cheney 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 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 that helps the country of wooden stakes and even if they come this way if these three term 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. dropping the dollar again raising the possibility of a new global reserve currency after washington lets the u.s. credit rating slip standard and poor's downgraded the u.s. surprise aaa status after losing confidence in the way the latest debt ceiling standoff and. hundreds of thousands of israelis return to the streets across the country agard by the high cost of living and on affordable housing prices some protesters are comparing the demonstrations to those that happened in major neighboring egypt as they call for widespread reforms these social inequality. and the u.s. suffers its biggest single loss of life in the afghan conflict as
