a modern administrative capital. and as soon as you write this one lady you really need to go and see. this. catherine and she is the patron saint for the present i am legend has it that if you come into a monument and stand on this circle then you come under the same protection at the time you are in this. i was ready to get sight see i thought i'd start with a bird's eye view. now this is president's famous water tower it's one of the only constructions remaining by famous russian engineer bloody machine called and it's still one of the best places to take and.

is often referred to as russia's thomas edison because of the quality of his invention it's need huggable lloyd towers like this although the fifty years of disuse it is starting to get a little rusty curry. the great health of. it may no longer be cousin of those tallest building but for a panoramic view there are a few better places. you are climbing may be hungry but luckily just a place to go. i'm always loved visiting the local markets the some of the liveliest places you can find in the city and full of these great sights smells and all these different colors but of course it's also if you have someone who can give you a profitable. and i have a lunch date with an explicit. rules creature. you must move nation and say well i'm looking forward to

a little trip around the market had a few gifts to things for me strong oh yeah i can show you this list thank you. for the welcome. you can you know. muslim or not. could you came from china to study medicine in class and over the last six years she's fully in love with the place. and it was becoming fluent in the language she's also got into the local food clothes some of the delicacies here just me an acquired taste i'm sure that you have never seen it. what put. a cold watermelon. show. and that's all right ok that's just me i'm doing yeah i. saw. you feel that there are some things that should be left as

nature intended. this case but it's a definite it's still definitely an acquired taste. i should you certainly don't use to cross in the tone in fact she's sort of from the new home she's thinking of staying home office she graduates the thing that people are very kind. and i think i can just say that i found myself because i'm. about different stories. you know james species yeah those are good seo always going to do yeah i think a very alike case so let's not good so by so you're going to get these yeah all right well thank you so much for showing me around malone comedowns it's been a great pleasure and i'm almost nothing no one i can get pleasure from and i take it back. i lifted you to enjoying the chocolate fix when i headed back outside the

weather had cleared up my mind that there was something special going on in the middle of town i just needed to get more adventurous. i was a trainer but god is around here somewhere you know what they say and doubts also policeman. scares the puzzles. and proabortion my uniform yes yes speakin i do yes we will leave to you thank you very much place police. it appears close to those cold skits to clean up the streets and chants of the environment at the same time i've never seen cars like these for the police in russia all day a new project yes and soon you will always see the. racial for us in darwin is with police departments have a. program of security to go through to home to n.z.

even frame all these programs. walking a few cars at least two cars for us oh and we have. this recent squares of all will see these cars because. well as you get a wind up in the back of a police car this is definitely the way to go them so it's. all good. thank you very much. you know that's what i call a public service. i've been dropped off in the city's central square and it looked like the show was about to begin. to original.

x. and without their ancestors wouldn't exist the land here was originally given to them by empress catherine the great in the late eighteenth century i mean so my team twenty city was named. which means catherine's gift. because next we're known as fearsome fighters and brilliant swordsman and its reputation they still build on today. your enemy is very bad i think. you don't have to have blood to be trained by these guys but it's certainly seems to help your coordination. i guess life and are three once more. very good. perhaps my own weapon might transform my fencing skills. so of course

it's absolutely part of the make up. somewhere else in the city. a my trainer was happy to point me in the right direction. under has been working as a blacksmith since he was a teenager because believe those men the city makes damascus steel a material that's created some of the world's finest. but with you to start with you bring sample different kinds of steel together. the pieces are in a certain way under welded together at high temperatures. this means that the temperature is just right. once that happens you can begin to flatten it out. how marie.

to compress the light. and steel and it. hit me mr experts. in the right. and you have to be accurate over and over again just like the. policy is just over six times. it's an exhausting process but fortunately he has a machine that will do the next lots of hard work for you. as this. is where. you get. like a. lot of it is. you

need to do it several times the polls. metal gets cold get brittle. and unfortunately can lead to cracks it seems this chunk of damascus steel was going to have to be recycles fortunately andre has another developed specimen. this is what a. solid metal looks like just carrying the edge. and hopes of getting the right. of the place. and we just had one last round of heating and hammering to go. one final yes. while. it is. painfully. aware that to get to the right temperature.

barring the shouting. they have it. a blade. fit for. most famous soldiers cavalry the battles of old may be consigned to the history books the people of still share a love of speed and. the sun's out crowds are coming in. and the race is especially when i get to meet. you here. first. there is head trainer at present drug might arrive for the strong of the victory column one of the most important meats in the city's racing calendar. number seven what do you think

how do you like you get. we had a bit of a break until the next races began and had an excellent suggestion on how to spend the time. this is rubik's cube an eight year old stallion who was going to be my ride for the morning i had a few lessons on my trips around russia. managed to. get rubik up to a counter. yes for about thirty seconds and then he decided he'd much rather be doing his own thing. now while it was fun last a good boy. came here is still a bit of a puzzle to me. i hope at least i have better luck as a spectator and i grabbed a programme and headed back to the track but things didn't exactly go my way. come on. come on over it's well. it's

a really good start and. a few races in the victory cup was turning into a bit of a personal defeat but then one of my fellow punters gave me a tip. yes. there were three. lofts. and with the two year old man names diamond stumps at school. now that. i got arrived back at the winter i'm even a few rubles to the good. with my bank balance spent i decided to quit while i was ahead. thing you can race here in crimes of the security of speed free and just down to the.

mission free cretaceous free. for charges free. range month free. three stooges free. old free lunch money video for your media projects and free media don carty dot com . wealthy british style. markets. find out what's really happening to the global economy in the country for. the

same. is the river it's the longest in the northern caucasus so you call it really comes across in a dollar and not pay a visit but you can just take a walk along the wall to size zero. and you can get to know it's something a little bit speedy. here is one of the instructors here at krasnodar 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 in the wet suit sort of things to come. and once i go in my life vest it's time to take my seat. and trust you 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 in and there was at least one quick way to slow down. this little safety line is tends to be quite helpful by pullets. and cuts the. things across the regulator.

this but quite so it's just a. couple of quick push from the bank i was on and once you're out of money these things you want to come back. for you really really said all we were to tell you because that is incredible. to be a new drivers have to go through a rather unusual club ritual. but heck. to finish off the russian tradition they're going to observe them all.

i was about to attend cross of the most most still strewn laden event of the year. it's pretty sad to say that the jim and i have never been back floods buspar all people who could each their own body weight in a day and lift the equivalent of around five big men and if you can do that maybe you through can compete in the us in some some competition. and i think. they're here. as one of the guys in charge of it all for example. last year. with good reason why it was james believe that you one of the founders of some sort of all right c.e.o. you not me is the founder of this concious if you're at the right place because

these are the strongest doesn't present. you get a seat with the owner ok. i'll . say again has been training in some sense jim i'm taking calls from there are events through most twenty years of the toughest guys in the south of russia right here to show what they can to. what one of the things i love about strong men come to since they get some fairly crazy stuff. that's true that's true this let's just way this gentleman is going to. lift up much so yes you know the weight of the cycle i think is one hundred feet below one hundred fifty how much do you weigh. you see this big guy that says fall it just falls on the start

seek or go four hundred feet of forty kilos thessaly that's what i saw as it was just then oh such good health is gentlemanly. you know just be sure to become a true. stone is always bullshit in the muscles for next and if the contest does have a little trouble with the point they could still make up for it in the toughest. president house and beautiful places for a relaxing stroll. just over half a century ago this area was nothing but grass and maybe the old potato allotments until this man came along. turned it into almost a beautiful botanical gardens right in the center of president and i'm off to meet an old friend of his. sunna has been a professor at

a local university for more than forty years and has literally see in the gardens grow from nothing to what they are today. he says that it's done in a regularly audits pattern like the english style. that they're all different 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's. that's right it still smells it's. there 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

naipaul tree is one of more than forty thousand trees a little influence and by hands and hopefully in a few decades to come it will still be here giving say to the president locals. slightly. annoyed. unfortunately in 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 who love the combine river which runs right through crescent but it can also be a dangerous place there up to a point accidents a day on the water during the summer season but that's what cross and it does river rescue service is here for. oh i was here to see what sort of challenges i face. james once i changed since my official rescue ranger gear we were ready to head on

to the river. now this is a typical day we're on patrol but you only want to do is go down the coogan river only way to places where bedding is allowed and most importantly where it's not allowed to. shoot the problem is that there is a very strong current in the kugan river and swimming can be very dangerous. for you some people trying to do it when they're under the influence of alcohol. like lose teenagers over there for instance but as the boat drove past they seem to change their minds pretty quickly. so you guys are there and it's hard to put a place for. the tour and his colleagues normally patrol a forty kilometer stretch but today the public role playing the use of the river. of course it never hurts to issue a gentle reminder to everyone having a nice time don't go swimming don't go.

see a nobody is going swimming see how impressed they are with all authority. mind you there were one or two people who did look like they were getting ready to sit. future victims. been very quiet us but things were about to get interesting. well everyone's been doing very well behaved down the day but to go as he still needs train which means they need a vixen. class mustn't. be . it's a little difficult to do a good impression of a drowning man in a highly buoyant suits but i did try my best and that river was no.

no no. plate. by its own. oh fortunately i was only squashing around for a minute or two before i was free to safety. another soul saved by the cousin a dollar to the. rescue service. adeptly recommend a dry seat. for most people. i was happy to be out of the ocean but i was genuinely sad to be leaving class in a dog outside of moscow in st petersburg it's the most modern and well maintained city are seen in russia and when i think such a genuine living will you looking at the beautiful books some tough call schools in
