last five years and i deem it has been. everyone. this is a. team is also in charge of training the next generation of musical talents. these girls will be seriously force learners so and since you asked me to join us for a joint i have to be able to keep time. this is the place for the bellringer. coming in one small bells should be operated with the right hand over here but only. like this. so i have a little training from the maestro i was ready for

a solo effort. i just have. one else is in his way to. training and practice you get to make it sound good but suddenly you're off your legs or thought to work independently i don't know maybe i'm on my way to being the complete company over this. universe. and the big opening bell tower is that it gives you a great view of the sissy homes cars a real low to take true mix there on your vo a classic old building standing beside the latest soviet additions and you can while away a good few hours taking it all. for you to understand one's hand alienated too many of the churches parishioners voices i believe town for a while just to be on the safe side so i headed out to a place where a bit of a company is nothing new.

if you're trying to work out which came first the chicken or the egg this might not be a bad place to start. with did they. take away from the parents this is a quail egg and what they are very good for your health you can. look at. the thirty or so here we have a guinea egg. hen's egg for a goose egg on yes. and the biggest one that an ostrich egg andriy breeds and sells birds to farms all around the region and he took me to see the latest arrivals. these are new born guinea fowl chicks and their eggs are

hatched to be converted free lunch however it works its. because they're not short of company. quails one of andre's biggest sellers and he's got more than a hundred in the spawn of. these quail spend most of their lives indoors because there's a pretty big in the fresh air to well i'm counting to. give the foul turkeys. a duck so far apparently there are more than twenty different species of it on this. from the very small to the very very thing but i knew if i wanted to make the phone store attractions i'd better be bearing gifts. you might not expect by african offer just in the middle of siberia but. i'm his girls are surprisingly well adapted to the climate here you can get down to minus twenty five celsius or minus thirteen far in height and they don't mind

because as long as golf is good it's ladies to keep him company he's pretty happy. but well betide anyone else who gets close to them. is going to get jealous. doesn't like me going there is a girlfriend. she quite like he's like thing they way from our woman. story but there were. no wanting to tangle with a two meter plus possessive boyfriend beat a hasty retreat but i've been told there was a place nearby where i could find one or two more exotic guests and on. a personal this place looks like a quiet typical russian village but just down the road they've got something for the whole area is proud of. the big rivers who is one of the region's most popular tourist attractions. in hectares of space filled with lawyers leopards and llamas.

very there was a russian little zoo that could if this place back in one thousand nine hundred three this was just designed for the village school but it became so popular and people brought more and more animals that it just kept growing and then they've got llamas they've got one hundred fifty thousand visitors every year not bad considering there's only twelve thousand people in the whole village tourists can see more than two thousand animals including a polar bear and a family a mammal tiger is. the big rivers most famous resident is their very own result. core there's a hell of a smile to greet you isn't it you wouldn't believe that this is one of the most dangerous animals in africa but many here is the only hippo in siberia and a very hungry hippo here is he's twenty four. and he sets out to cold weather in siberia in his own luxury swimming pool. is one of the all

screeches biggest attractions but i knew there was a place back in town where small really is beautiful it was your look here we have an insect artwork or flies and mosquitoes come i many many insects. and it was a micro artist with an incredible collection of miniature masterpieces but it says micro money is scripts that have really made and i told his name this is the prayer our father in different languages russian english french and german he holds the guinness record for the world's smallest printed book and has a library of many classics. but when you're dealing with things this small that can be difficult to keep hold of. this is the problem of course. it's incredibly delicate nor can it only is entirely self-taught it's not easy when you can lose an

entire sculpture just point breathing too hard and miniature aunts requires miniature tools. i never thought for myself calling on the to speak but. the technique is so precise i can feel myself not breathing because i was so worried about my hands shaking and destroying utterly in one false move. how i literally dozens were such an amazing decision i really don't. mean you have learnt it all by myself no one taught me how to do with someone there is no such place in the world where you can learn it you have to devote a lifetime to creating such instruments and then it was time to practice some very tiny handwriting. this takes quite a lot of concentration but remote completely it. has to be working and there's always room on the mantel piece for

something this size. so i think that pretty well. lessons from the most go my own personal souvenir and because it's always good to have something to read. probably the smallest version of the complete works of shakespeare the created. you've made about two hundred different books in different languages. english german and french music. concentration it was time for. in the city's reserve banks to some of its most popular spots. we might be a long way from the city here and all but it doesn't mean we don't have a beach and when the weather's hot everyone comes here to chill. but if you're not looking for some time has plenty of it to.

give voice. at all you guys how your concerts. here will get a concert nearby here so what was going on at the beach there are so many people there's a lot of people today because today's flame fest you know with fear and there will be a lot of fire a lot of music a lot of drama music and we. are the main attraction. of course we have a. drama it's very loud. and of course we made. that would be awesome so we go we go ok. in front of his friends normally play the jumbos at the local clubs but today they're performing at the festival i'm giving lessons to. this whole set.

taken from this new. ok. let's play the blame that is on plato. writes. how's it going to this first strike i will teach going on right and on and do. think i'm kind of. open open right right and. left and don't. do this place. right. right and. left hand.

a spectacular way to finish the first hole through the my visit to. i don't really see him in spoken with some incredibly talented people i knew i still had to meet someone who was used to performing on a much bigger stage. will come to the joining us on a trip to a magical land where pesticides are just trouble anymore for school children to live and learn without ever opening a paper book were einstein's theories and the laws of physics no longer apply and were big can always be bigger don't be afraid to take my hand and enjoy the ride on technology update here on r.g.p. . wealthy british style.

market. can. find out what's really happening to the global economy max cons are a no holds barred global financial headlines two kinds a report. in most big cities people love the sports but it isn't football that brings the fans. the weather may be great now but this is siberia and this is ice hockey country the local heroes. and their captain is one of the greatest players who have a ripped off a helmet and started repeatedly punching another in the face.

ice hockey game between two of russia's biggest teams had to be abandoned after a fight broke out between the players only three and a half minutes into the game between. six hundred and thirty seven minutes and penalties but it wouldn't be enough to cool the hot tempers so the game was called off before it even begun in two thousand and eight. he just completed an eighteen year career in the n.h.l. and broken plenty of restaurants along the way. it's a legend is a movie used in school but i'm watching one train now. stanley cup winning the world champion olympic champion from the small matter of being the highest point school in n.h.l. history for. his captain and if anyone has the pedigree to help him recapture the glory days of two thousand and four when they were. championship it's this man

. now i'm going to try and do. the best apparently. the speed and goal scoring ability of christiane. with the strength of the presence of former england rugby captain. back. ten million dollars a year so his time literally the precious. have to do it fast. and he. skates so in terms of motivation for someone like you. everything there is to achieve. i mean they must. say ok i'm. going to love the game i want to play.

you know. like a family. how do you. think you'll still be a member of the family for a few seasons to come. the ways of the. bridges. the generation and the arrival of the trans-siberian railway back in the eighty ninety s. was the start of a major economic. trade isn't. a new buildings went up across the city it expanded so rapidly. ten visitors began describing as the chicago of siberia.

a century old it's still a major transport hub on the radio waves have been joined by an international airport and people here love to fly. these massive helicopters. they've been ferrying people and goods across the world. but here and you don't just have to look at them. this is the only noncommercial civilian helicopter training school in russia and some of the country's most experienced pilots teach. yury has been flying for over thirty years and is one of the chief instructors. who kind of pilot me helicopters one of the world's most famous brands it's a three year cools and there's a lot to take in. the

months just the beginning. so this. great training but i think it's time we took a look at the twenty. this is a state of the. flight simulator capable of recreating any potential weather conditions or emergency situation. one of the pilots are going to rack up one hundred hours of flight time eighty in the real thing and twenty in here. in fact it's so much like the real thing if carried away. with. this is really and. it seemed like we were going to have

a smooth flight and then my instructor victor asked me to take the controls. five minutes. already on the. other ninety nine point nine. eventually we go down in one piece although that was very little to do with me. so the whole on the simulator reckon i should be ready for the real thing. speed helicopter training only and on. it was almost time for me to leave but i still wanted to see more of the region so i headed off for a bit of a trick though i do like a good stroll in the countryside but when you're doing it in siberia you can go for a very long toying without thing anybody at all and i've finally come to

a road. i'm hoping that maybe someone is going to be able to let me right. now i think. it's best to be in something that can handle the terrain. ok. so. let's go. ahead. and hear his friends were mission to pinpoint him to the very center of the region he was happy for me to hit show each his own.

which is mine if you want you can. see. the wheels although it was still a bit of a bumpy road. heading in the right direction. ok.

but the a couple of. one. just go around them. some of the guys. this could end badly ok it's only the beginning of. the rescue attempt ok i mean that's a risk a rope. it's very useful so this is what happened when wrong. but hopefully we should be able to save up or trapped comrades. and if you're not going to wade through all that. we had a slight technical states with the rescue to. yuri had a special american made two belts which he reckoned would be a little bit more successful. attempts.

to see that this rescue rope is very special. at the risk of you know i mean stretches and never tears apart you can drive a car with no problem with most of us going to save the day. and as the sun began to sit closer to the nation. according to the g.p.s. we will join this nation very soon. as. the villages with thinking is all pulled up next to their houses but we were almost there and it was time to get the facts out. very important moment if you're right. my whole visit could been a hell of a journey i've met some incredibly gifted and friendly people and had some real fun . stick it somewhere in here it's not

a fairy nondescript but. we're right in the fence. the on the screen and we're claiming it in the name of all four by four. fertility never ceases to amaze me and if you come to him school you guarantee to an extension. a very warm welcome to you this is your news today protesters on the wall street center today at. least in canceling your chance to choose instead to get with the status of the human experiment. with. this in this rap music what it knows absolutely trying to make sense of global economy and its arcane things as
