as soon as you write this one lady you really need to go and see. this. catherine and she is the patron saint of president up i am legend has it that if you come into a monument and stand on this circle then you come under the same protection for the time you were in this. was really to get sight see cardboard stalls for the birds on t.v. . now this is president's famous water tower it's one of many constructions remaining by famous russian engineer bloody mess and it's still one of the best places to take a look at this it. is often referred to as russia's thomas edison because of the quality of his invention he need hyper beloit towers like this although after fifty years of just use it is starting to get

a little rusty her. grave. it may no longer be because of those tallest buildings but for a panoramic view there are a few better places. who are clearly maybe 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 does help if you have someone who can give you a profit soul. and i had a lunch date with an explicit. rules. must make sense well i'm looking forwards to all the trip around the market i have a few can steal things from me trauma oh yeah i can. see this list.

should be just certainly got used to christmas joan in fact she's so fond of the new home she's thinking of staying on off to she graduates seeing that people are very kind. and i think i can just say that's a fun myself because. that is a great story. you know you james species those who could see your eyes going to the yeah i think a very like cakes so let's me i'm going to buy so you're going to get these yeah right will think you have so much for showing me around the local. it's been a great pleasure and i'm a watermelon than i can get pleasure from and i take back. my list could be due to enjoying the chocolate fix well knowing how to talk 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 things. but i was itching to go is around here is somebody you

know they say if in doubt post a policeman. christmas or a sketch of the puzzles. or should i do it for yes yes begin with i do yes we will leave to you thank you very much please please make. it appears close to those cool skits to clean up the streets and can for the environment at the same time i've never seen clothes like these for the police in russia all day the new projects yes and soon you will always see through. all of these racial is with police departments have a. program where security will flee to homes ok ends even frame all these programs. walking a few cars at least two cars for us oh well we have. this

reason squares of all will see on these calls because it's. all a g. green. economy. well if you are going to wind up in the back of a police town this is definitely the way to go down the streets. 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. a regional. unless. these men are x. and without their ancestors cross wouldn't exist the land here was originally given to them by empress catherine the great in the late eighteenth century i mean till

nine hundred twenty six he was named a katherina which means catherine's gift. because that's where known as fearsome fighters and brilliant swordsman and its reputation they still build on today. your enemy is very dead. you don't have to have blood to be trained by these guys but it certainly seems to help you coordination. i guess liason are three once more. very good. perhaps my own weapon might transform my fencing skills. so this of course is absolutely part of the make up. somewhere else in the city. my trainer was happy to point me

in the right direction. and been working as a blacksmith since he was a teenager and is the only person in the city limits to must steal a material that's created some of the world's finest. to start with. different kinds of steel together. the pieces. together at high temperatures. as soon as the. temperature is just right. once that happens you can begin to. come. to compress the light. and steel and it's.

still. in the right. and you have to be accurate over and over again just like that. policy. is an exhausting process but fortunately the machine will be to the next what's the . you. like a. lot. of the polls. once the metal gets cold brittle. i'm unfortunately can

lead to cracks it seems this chunk of damascus steel was going to have to be recycles fortunately andre has another more developed specimen. this is one of. the slides just hammering the edge. cannot help it getting the right. of the blades. and we just had one last round of teaching you can hammering to go. one get. while. it is. painfully. wait a bit to get the right temperature. barring the shouting. they have it. i've played. it for.

the cossacks most famous soldiers with cavalry the battles of old may be consigned to the history books the people of president 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 some of the styles. of his one of the ladies. not used to his head trainer at present as hippodrome might arrive for the stance of the victory one of the most important meet in the city's racing calendar. number seven said what do you think how do you like you do it. we had a bit of a break and so the next races began an odd years to have 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 riot for the morning i had a few lessons on my trips around russia. only managed to trot. up to a counter. well yes for about thirty seconds and then he decided he'd much rather be doing his own thing. it was for the last good boy. came here is still a bit of a puzzle to me. i hope at least i'd have better luck as a spectator and i grabbed the 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 i missed. 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 it's him. yes . now with three. loss. and with two year old man names diamond stumps had scored near bull's eye now that . i got arrived back to win or i'm even a few rules to the good. with my clothes shoes i'm woodbine common spent i decided to quit while i was ahead but loses all me anything you can race here in france in a dump you're a bit of a speed freak and just down to.

the. movies soon which bryson a few new bands to move from feinstein's transient. who threw stones on t.v. don't come. it's. just so.

it's just. is the river it's the longest in the northern caucasus so you can't really count as a dollar and not paid a visit but you can just take a walk along the water so. you can get to know it and something a little bit speedy. here is one of the instructors here at present a doll's powerboat school he's an eighth time russian champion and in charge of getting the next generation to follow in his wake but 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 found world championships. it seemed like i was in good hands although i did need some more appropriate clothing. more racing season than a wetsuit some other things to come. and once i got on my life vest it was 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 drawing and

there was at least one quick way to slow down. this little safety line is going to be quite helpful and by pull it. cuts the end you know. things across the immediate . this because i saw it does well. with the quick push from the bank i was on and once you're out in one of these things you want them to come. for you really really upset or were kill yourself because the box is incredible. a new joint is have to go through a rather unusual club ritual. the

heck out of the bone that is to finish off or a russian tradition there is of the more. i can draw a line that was about to attend cranston of the most historic stride laden events of the year. it's pretty sad to say that the jim and i have never been that close us 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 can compete in the us in some some competition. and i think. over here. is one of the guys in charge of it all for people. with good reason where is

james believe that you all of the founders of some sort of c.e.o. you not me is the founder of this be concious that you're at the right place because these are the strongest doesn't present. you get a seat with the owner ok. i don't. you know. so gay has been training in some sense gyms and taking calls in their events for most twenty years and the toughest guys in the south of russia are here to show what they can do. what i am one of the things i love about strong men come to since they get some fairly crazy stuff so i think that's true that's true this let's just way this gentleman is going to lift up much so yes do

you know the weight of the cycle i think it's one hundred fifty below one hundred fifty how much do you weigh ninety you see these big guys that says fall it just falls on the start see go for had a theory of forty kilos just me classify myself as was just them oh she's going to help this gentleman. you know be sure. he was stolen as always bold muscles for exist and if the contestants have a little trouble with the point they could still make up for it in the top of. the . president house and beautiful places relaxing stroll. just over half a century ago this area was nothing but grass and maybe the old potato allotment until this man came along in one consent turned it into almost as

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 seen the gardens grow from nothing to what they are today steve says it's done in regularly on its pattern like the english style. and they're all different heights as you can see and you can find every conceivable form of plants life. and there are more than seventy different rare breeds. and susana was happy to show me some of her favorites. can you feel it. that's right smells like.

they're around twenty full time staff here but they can always do with a 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 all in quotes and by hand and hopefully in a few decades to come it will still be here giving say to the president locals. are slightly. annoyed that. unfortunately my time in the city was coming to an end but there was one group of local heroes of really wants to meet. the people here love the combine river which runs right through president but it can also be a dangerous place they're up to go about accidents a day on the water during the summer season but that's what present it as river rescue service is here for. well i was here to see what sort of challenges i face

well. yes once i changed into my official rescue ranger gear we were ready to head on to the river. and now this is a typical day you know we're on patrol but you only 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. 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 they're just hard to put a place for. these two and his colleagues normally patrol a forty kilometer stretch but today the public will bank as

a result. of course it never hurts to issue a gentle reminder to everyone having a nice time don't go swimming don't go. see how nobody is going swimming pool see how impressed they are with all authority . punch you there were one or two people who did look like they were getting ready to see. future victims. a little been very quiet as things were about to get interesting. well everyone's been doing very well behaved in the living state but could go as he still needs train which means they need a victim. to mass market. it's

a little difficult to do a good impression of a drowning man in a highly buoyant soups but i do try my best and that river was no. no no. place. by its own. fortunately i was only squashing around for a minute so see you before i was free to safety. another soul say it's by the president of the. rescue service. let me recommend the drysuit. the post. i was happy to be out of the ocean but i was genuinely sad to be leaving president

. downside of moscow and st petersburg it's the most modern and well maintained city are seen in russia and when i think i could genuinely live. with you looking at the beautiful books sometimes called schools in action or just genuine cause such culture and hospitality has little to do.
