to get more. of a change of the go is around here somewhere but you know what they say if in doubt ask a policeman. because the. course of my uniform yes begins with i do yes we will leave to you thank you very much police police. it appears close to those cops get to clean up the streets and chant for the environment at the same time i've never seen cars like these for the police and rochelle they are new projects since in you. see. with police departments have. security.

because. well if you all get in the back of the police this is definitely. thank you very much. i've been dropped off in the city's central square. was about to begin. original. x. and without their ancestors crossed wouldn't exist the land here was originally given

to them by empress catherine the great in the century. twenty the city was named. which means catherine's gift. and brilliance and its reputation they still build on today. i think. you don't have to have to be trained. but it certainly seems to help you. i'm going to slice it off. once more. very good. fencing skills. of course is absolutely a part of the makeup. somewhere else in the city. well

you can find someone like these. since he was. created. the.

i'm unfortunately can lead to cracks it seems this chunk of damascus steel was going to have to be recycled fortunately i had another developed specimen. just hammering the. hopes of getting the right. and we just. get. to get the right temperature.

barring the shouting. bit. of blades. most famous soldiers. into the history books the people who still show speed. the sun's out. especially. his. first. victory one of the most important meet in the city's racing calendar. what do you think do you like. the breaking.

spend the time. this. an eight year old stallion who was going to be. let out a few trips around. for about thirty seconds and then he decided. it was a good boy. and headed back to the track but things didn't exactly. go on.

a few races. feet. yes. and we. had. i decided to quit while i was ahead. of the speed freak. to.

him. retirement funds and i haven't had as bad as many it's not just about them it's about the need to. say. geez. need it. now. since this is my film i get the last word this financial crisis will not be turned off like a light sleep. wealthy british style.

market. has come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines two kinds a report. is the river it's the longest in the northern caucasus so you told really comes across a dollar in the paid a visit but you can just take a walk along the wall to saw it all. you can get snow it's something a little bit speedy. bugler is one of the instructors here powerboat school he's an eight time russian champion and in charge of getting the next generation to

follow in his wake. we have got lots of young sportsmen here and international class boats that can go up to one hundred sixty kilometers an hour. we try to stimulate the children's capacity for work and our members take part in both european and world championships. it seemed like i was in good hands although i did need some more appropriate clothing. more racing season than a wet suit sort of things to come. and once i got on my life vest it was time to take my seat ok and trusting completely.

my life in this very small and snug contraption. with just a gas pedal and no brakes to worry about it did seem pretty easy to draw it and there was at least one quick way to slow down. this little safety line is going to be quite helpful because if i pull it. it cuts their. fingers crossed i won't need it. this because i saw its does. it. come with a quick push from the bank was all. these things you want to come back. for you let me be i said or we were to tell you said the ball about because that is

incredible who who. joined us have to go through a rather unusual club ritual. but heck out of the ball needs to finish off the russian tradition of them all. i was about to attend krasnodar as most still strong laden event yeah. it's pretty sad to say that the jim and i have never been close bus they're all people who can eat their own body weight in a day and lift the equivalent of around five big men and if you can do that maybe you two can compete in the us in some some competition.

and i think. everyone here. is one of the guys in charge of it all. for. us to. believe that you one of the founders of some sort of. you not me. is the founder of the cons here it's that you're at the right place because these are the strongest doesn't present . you get a seat ok. so the game has been training in some since gym and taking calls from their events through most twenty years in the toughest guys in the south of russia right here to show. one of the things i love about strong since they get

crazy stuff. that's true let's just let's just way this gentleman is going to lift up much so. one hundred feet below one hundred fifty how much do you weigh. you see these big guys. see here go for had a fee of forty kilos just me. going to help this gentleman. and if the competitors have a little trouble with the point they could still make up for it in the time just. some beautiful places for. just over half

a century ago this area was nothing. and maybe the old potato allotment until they . turned it into. an old friend of his. son and has been a professor at the local university. forty years and has literally seen the gardens grow from nothing to what they are today. it's done in a regularly audit pattern like the english style works is that they're all of differing heights as you can see and you can find every conceivable form of plants life. in fact there are more than seventy different rare breeds in the gardens and susana was happy to show me some of her favorites. can you feel it.

that's right it smells great. there are around twenty full time staff here but they can always do with one hand and that meant i got to put my own tiny sapling in the ground. this this little maple tree is one of more than forty thousand trees so that by hand and hopefully in a few decades to come it will still be here giving us a. president locals. unfortunately my time in the city was coming to an end but there was one group of local heroes i really wanted to meet. the people here love the river which runs right through president but it can also be

a dangerous place there are up to five accidents a day on the water during the summer season but that's what river rescue service is here for. and i was here to see what sort of challenges i face. once i changed into my official rescue ranger gear we were ready to head on to the river. and now this is a typical. we are on patrol. they want to do is go down the cuban river all the way to places where bathing is allowed and most importantly where it's not allowed to. the problem is that there is a very strong current in the river and swimming can be very dangerous. some people try to do it when they're under the influence of alcohol. teenagers over there for instance but as the boat drove past they seem to change their minds pretty quickly

. too guys are they're just hard to. be sure and his colleagues normally patrol a forty kilometer stretch but today the public pool is a risk. of course it never hurts to issue a gentle reminder to. everyone having a nice time don't go swimming don't go. see and nobody is going swimming to see how impressed they are with our authority. mind you there were two people who did look like they were getting ready to sit. future victims. very quiet but things were about to get interesting. well everyone's been doing very well behaved out on the river today but to go as he still needs train which means they need

a victim. a mass market. it's a little difficult to do a good impression of a drowning man in a highly buoyant suits but i do try my best and that river was not. oh oh. it's true. but fortunately i was only splashing around for a minute or two before i was free to safety. another soul saved by the close nidal river. rescue service. i definitely recommend the drysuit. mostly because.

i was happy to be out of the ocean but i was genuinely sad to be leaving class and . downside of moscow and st petersburg it's the most modern and well maintained city i've seen in russia and one i think i could genuinely live with you looking at the beautiful folks sometimes called spacing action or just genuine cause such culture and hospitality cause adult sybil.
