it would be us and its allies lately been the walls of paul many he is a major customer with the buttons. also trade unions call for more protests in greece as the parliament in athens approved box with the scenes of chaos on the violence across the country responds. to russian soyuz rockets expected to make the very first foreign launch countering of europe's new such life navigation system on its way to rivalling american security. up next in the program time to set sail to a russian naval shipyard to see the ancient craft of team building or now special report up next year. petra's of all it's because the city on the bank of lake in russia's northwest. saw peter the great founded it in the early eighteenth century as a supply base for the russian navy to date as one of the leading centers the wooden

boat making. tons of books. roger babson's turning to corner someone up until. she she island is a short distance from the trees of old school nothing has changed in the past two hundred years. the island looks like an open any museum. once a year it becomes a meeting point of vessels to belong to a bygone era. puzzle mark two called set up a private shipyard more than twenty years ago. since then the shop has been crammed with wooden boats even under construction already for sailing. for pavel each launch is an exciting and festive occasion. the shipyards owner

is unlikely to ever get bored with sending vessels on then maiden voyage. joe average their success for the wooden boat so been built throughout human history three this year and i don't see any reason why we should ever stop making them. after all what is the only building material that actually has a life of its own still. today in a boat which was built on the request of a group of scientists it will help researches moscow university's biological station situated by the white. see. call of son of part of his back in his hometown of. following the trip to st petersburg educated as an engineer he spent a good deal of time there in the libraries he was looking for suitable blueprints for a new project. technical expertise and the experience of

a historian but equally important these kind of ship building. the grid founded in seventeen zero three literally a month after he established st petersburg. created for the purpose of manufacturing cannons and cannon balls for the fledgling russian navy. however peter didn't build wooden boats here his shipyards were elsewhere. there are several private shipyards and. they operate just like the ones owned by the mach two calls. and says it times a local plant built wooden minesweepers for the navy it was shut down in the one nine hundred ninety s. but some of the stuff when fuz yes taken off to set up businesses of their own moreover they passed their interest wooden boats on to their children. are we going to make the steering or. the boats quite small so let's

take a look at design forty five. it is. a . nice overlook. i think for us we should take design forty eight where it's a bit smaller the construction is the same as for two. months has come to petra zawacki from the volga region he has ordered the construction of replicas of russian boats dating back to ancient times the monk keeps a watchful eye on the progress of the work. ring will be here. internals over that. are you going to cover it up there's no this stays open for a number of agree it should be covered up. you know you'll get access through this opening. will this be closed. that will be open you'll have

a hard time getting anything through there if the hole is positioned to los. cabos shipyard stand side by side with the wall known by the demetrius. the st nicholas is about to set out from the payer of the arctic odyssey club victor dmitri if he's off his son alexei. don't lean over this side to lead us to strong. safety first. the st nicholas was built in petra's of all skin one thousand nine hundred one such boats were used by paul most people who lived on the russian coast of the white sea in the fifteenth through to eighteenth centuries similar boats to formal merchants to every part of northern europe. over the past two decades maritime festivals made to st nicholas a familiar sight all the way from bergen and norway to bristol in britain.

we sailed past france and norway which travelled across the northern seed to new castle. mainland we've been in swedish and danish waters we've covered practically the whole of northern europe. the ship will cover some fourteen or tickle miles before it reaches keiji island by lake and they got. nearly all local ship builders meet there once a year to keiji regatta is a traditional boat race in russia's northwest it takes place on the first weekend of august. when the city skip a historical boot is like a time machine when you get on board dressed up accordingly or even just wearing your regular well you find yourself in the atmosphere of a wife that has no more. look to dmitri have built his first sailing vessel more than thirty years ago since then private enterprises have sprung up a bit of

a while to fill the first boat was called the pool more little army than bush was in one nine hundred eighty seven when we went to spins bergan aboard that vessel at that will get a foothold in we naturally we experienced first hand the pleasures of going to history boarded into each boat they then kind of the. film companies often turn to petras of boats ship builders. one of the scenes from the blockbuster pirates of the caribbean beach is a sailing vessel built of a much you called shipyard. pavel has warm memories of another occasion when he got a request from british filmmakers. about for almost. well into the telephone pole and the caller said he represented a film company in the third year much of the go to build some models for a film but he didn't say exactly which film it was going to be.

shortly before the phone call powerful had read the whole a novel by the british author sessile scott forrest it was cliff. the list of ships that he was being asked to do his bit for an adaptation of the book. got to go with it but he said right away though that it was about c. battles during the napoleonic wars so were there no more to. serve even that small bit of information narrowed it down forests and forrester was the first name that sprang to mind when bored with the customers were impressed by the ability of petra's of old shipbuilders to identify the historical background by word of mouth alone the boats for the hornblower see cool but to a built in petrus of votes one two emmy awards. season ticket holders. first. building rowing boats as well as models was quite

a challenge to force it up whether we had to handle a lot of archive material to be able to make english and french vessels. if you're a mom but then we were also told that british audiences can be quite sophisticated . but they have no difficulty telling an industry it from a french one. into puzzles shipyard less than a year to build eleven replica vessels for full scale rowing boats dating back to the late eighteenth century. collingswood done by restores the keiji museum. itself a year to complete the job and we build models with sails cannons and carvings. since. some of the ships launched in petra's of all skin the past years are already part of modern history

a museum in the siberian town of circuit is playing with the idea of enriching its collection with a replica of a boat it was made in victor dimitri of shipyard in petra's avoids almost twenty years ago at the request of a russian film company. the vessel is an exact copy of the sixteenth century cost but. so you have replaced this part here yes excellent now the blanks here please. replica was featured in a film about the legendary. the man who conquered siberia. naturally will sew it up into four sections then separate it in the meat section and then put it all back together in the museum. sometimes victorian pawel compete for clients on other occasions they combine forces on joint projects. one of the employees is showing the monk how the project is progressing. a song

stylo good day i was a go and not mine everything's fine. have you finished in the deck cabin. but let's install the gas tank here. maybe let's put it there. all the other equipment has been linked up. like the engine control. right now demetrius company is working on boats ordered by theodore to the monks idea was to use three replicas of ancient russian boats to retrace the waterway that links russia to the balkans in the eleventh century. life has lost that precious kernel that used to be at its very core the joys of creation

learning and discovery it's what we hope to be able to revive those values by organizing what we call the journey from russia to the land of the serbs. since then they turned to me to have has built some fifty vessels the shipyard launches new boats on a reg. basis in petra's of victory is known by the nickname admiral. some of the monks specially ordered boats are ready to test on the water accompanying the monk on his trip are historical enthusiastic their aim is to reach the shores of keiji island to take part in a special performance. from

the days of the manhattan project in one thousand forty two the university of california has been involved through the science of its provision of scientists and their relationship through diversity you see since day one has been in charge of researching designing and testing nuclear weapons and to some extent producing weapons every single on nuclear weapon inside a as arsenal was designed by university of california. we don't warm go it's. a little versity of california who

was selected as the contract because the army needed scientists to meet their versity position it's. a group of protesters interrupted a university of california border regions meeting to demand the school's severed ties with the nation's nuclear weapons program. at the beginning of the season the optical to see shipyard that was launched to pall mall but. they had been ordered by the government of russia's northeast region of to cook cook which is less than one hundred kilometers from alaska. all but look what wires the opposing blades.

that's the one shifted to when get in the way. the wind is picking up quickly. in the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries european explorers were busy looking for routes leading to asia and africa meanwhile the russian counterparts explored the northernmost parts of the asian american continent the authorities of chukotka now want to send an expedition retracing those very roots as a reminder of the discoveries made by russian seafarers. just some young just knows forage around. seven such boats he set out from the arctic ocean and ended up in an a deer where the boats were taken apart while the expeditions members return to their base in yet on foot. seven replicas of the pommel boats a teacher set out on an expedition retracing the route only two of them have been

built so far. they have been tried out in both the white sea and into of europe's largest lakes. and lot of alexei vala boy the job of took part in both trials. at the fleet is a completely unique experience it's nothing like what you're used to back in town you don't need to take ten calls or write five hundred e-mails here you need to know how to set a sail in the nick of time. float your vessel if it runs aground well with all that completely changes your mindset and even helps you to find your purpose in life or for. the st nicholas to safely reached kishi island with tourists on board. tomorrow one of the main events of the year the kishi regatta will take place. here yeah

hang the ladder up to the right side. seven old men from to court are going to take part in the first kishi regatta. they're building a traditional church she cut back on a nearby island. these days to use only small car yards for hunting at sea but in the old days large kayaks like this one were used for to hunt for whales and walrus like. this one here is to be gaia. and six companions spent more than two days on that journey from to cut to keep they travelled by f. train i'm steamboat the team had brought with them one hundred fifty kilograms of war skin which they were going to use to make a boat but they were in for a disappointment at the end of that journey so for one fortunately transit

because we didn't stored properly. nevertheless the churchy craftsman managed to find an alternative. they replaced the natural skin of a common chook she wore us with plastic. kayak was ready to use a day before the race. so we turn it around no will turn around when we get to the water. she is an island on lake an egg. here is a unique museum of would not the texture of the island. the collection includes dozens of structures some of them are more than two hundred years old. one of the buildings dates back almost five hundred years. more recent structures are found on the coast guard such as appear to visitors. but for the most part the

island looks just like it did one hundred fifty years ago. outsiders can only come here either as tourists or as participants in the keiji regatta which is held once a year. the participants in the balkan expedition being organized by a monk thick to insist on historical friend to city their sporting armor and learning how to wield mediæval weapons. wooden boats and sailing vessels standing side by side with three hundred year old wooden churches strengthen the illusion of a journey to the times when timber was the principal building to hear.

there's a lot of our traditional raw. and i could tell actual reasoning this is because the main constructions have been made without the brilliant peasants so to make do without because they cost a lot of money here is that artists such roofs for instance there are piles of churches. barns even bought houses and the like everybody else who would. this is the source of the legend claiming that the keys the churches were built without a single nail in the in reality only the walls and roofs were made without using nails they were indispensable church. nowadays children who play with building blocks know only too well how the walls were built this technique makes restoration much easier damaged parts of the transfiguration church of being gradually replaced since two thousand. now the church is almost suspended in the air because of the

restoration work on its foundation. to begin with we needed a good foundation the lower part was taken away to be restored we put up a new stance and disassembled part of the church this is the lifting system a complete with lifting jacks. it works just like this. so if there were the most this means that the building assumption doesn't get in the way as we work on the foundation. one of the first bell ring is imposed communist russia is cycling briskly to make sure he reports for welcome time. these hundreds the bells and three of the t.g. church for almost two decades there are only a few places in the world where the sound of bells can spread far and wide without

echoing off of the surface since it is impossible to confuse the chime of bells with any of. this everything here. is just as it was in the eighteenth and nineteenth century there's no noise of the kind you find in the city. today the bells sound as they did a hundred or two hundred years ago because they're not drowned out by noise. and the water also helps the chinese travel over long distances. trying different depending on whether the secular holiday is being celebrated igor who says that villages sometimes even danced to the sound of bells. and improvise ation on the theme of festive choice but i mean normally this stall is not intended for people marching in a religious procession or rather it's adopted to the stroke of an old.

think that. it is only natural that chime from the belfry signals the start of the keys. thirty participants. three. additional wooden boats and modern sport sports each category has a subgroup with a number of all xmen ranging from one to six. after a brief deliberation the panel of judges decides to class the took cheek kayak as a traditional timber but. one stroke. stroke free stroke for. the races are expected to cover one nautical mile with each boat going at its own pace as a rule half an hour is enough for even the slowest butts. even over that short

distance accidents still happen the rudder of the cheek brakes. the rudders come loose. through harder stroke one. stroke. stroke three. but neither the tiresome journey the ruined wall riskin all the failure of the rudder can stop the races they take first place in that category with a record sixty minutes and forty seven seconds. stroke four stroke five stroke six stroke seven. the son of the ship builder from petra zawacki has taken part in the p.z. regatta for the first time his vessel in the modern sports by category came second

many generations of people to call his ancestors lived on the shores of the lake. another key. has come to an end. some participants bid farewell to one another and prepare for departure. keiji rules astringent everybody with the exception of museum staff is required to leave the island before eight pm. to send nicholas to say goodbye to everybody by firing a shot from its cannon. the boat's crew gets ready for another voyage. of seeing people are put to the test and it soon becomes abundantly clear what sort

of person they are. lake and there is new tourist for its character selling that is sometimes more treacherous than an open water indeed locals often regard it as a seat but how strong is the wind westerly wind at ten meters per second. the crew of the st nicholas set sail for the lake. pass in the book just. for you frightens no not yet and then fascinates. all the writer. before they reach home they will have to cover some fourteen multiple miles through rough waves.

cultures that show much and a lot of people are curious will listen and learn from a distance mostly fifteen hundred occupy protests are occurring in eighty two countries worldwide this is a gated protest mean with the staying power to. all to stop stories the u.n. calls for domestication to the death of colonel gadhafi after gruesome photo age suggest he may have been executed by a lynch mob nader says it may be a leaving the country by the end of the month but he's accused by russia of the view using the you on monday to pretext needed civilians. and it's nato which is the kind of demise there is relief in some cultures that these secrets of his all dealings with the west will go with him to the grave and won't be revealed the nation even lead it was for many years a major customer like the weapons expert walton. trade unions called protests in greece and the parliament in athens oprah.
