well. technology innovation it's all the list of elements around russia. however. give all shanties greater argue with the headline. but adults and see where as an arab league holds mason to damascus to under the bonnet has cost russia says it will share but only and if both sides would down there are. also there are reports of more that sent hundreds of people injured in egypt following clashes but he says tens of thousands are tests for an end to the military's grip on power. i don't dump it's outside father son has been captured by leaving authorities apparently trying to escape to me sure and i will be tried in

a country i'm not at the hague which means they could play the dad. and angie corporate protesters out by means of quarterbacking in new york after being evicted by police and she's day out annacone of students outraged my office is accused of a hundred thousand dollars on a peaceful demonstration. and there's the headlines for you up next on aussie our special report on one of the biggest russian sources from our wet flows the mighty vulgar you are and in winter people play ice cold. if you're traveling in the russian winter it's always good to head to somewhere well developed and some our region definitely fits the bill the capital is the seventh largest city in the country and can lay claim to being one of the most important business and cultural centers in european russia it's also one of the most picturesque boasting the largest central square in europe and along beautiful

embankment alongside the volga river it's a ninety minute flight from moscow or if you prefer the scenic route you can take a leisure li fifteen hour train ride. well that was a long journey and there's nothing like coming into minus twenty so wake you up but i mean some are part of the biggest cities in the whole russia. and i was also in one of its largest and most unusual buildings the glass front a train station was completed in two thousand and eight and it's one of the highest places in town so this isn't a bad viewpoint to take my first look at the city from this post to be around one of the of million people down there and hopefully plenty of interesting places to explore as well. and my first stop was a real hidden gem. it's not exactly a very picturesque place here but i did

a thorough this rather tassie concrete about to uncover one of some more as big of secrets. during the second world war many soviet governmental institutions as well as most of the foreign embassies moved to some are on this huge chunk was created in one thousand nine hundred eighty two as a backup for stalin and his cabinet. is a really amazing feats of engineering of this this entire bunker goes down almost forty metres and they built a space of more it. seems even more incredible to me is that the people of some or apparently didn't even know that this place was. was only in the city when the soviet union was dissolved. and they finally found this structure have been under their feet for almost fifty years. broome is all that it was built by conflicts with them executed but nothing was ever confirmed. so i'm

just kind of the first level here hopefully we'll get some. sort of hello it's nice to me. and one man who knows all about the place is my guide anatoly even after all this time the power systems are still working. here you find life support systems and equipment was installed when the bunker was still under construction but it has not been replaced since then but it's still operational it works automatically it's russian made equipment the bunker was built to house up to six hundred people and they had some pretty effective defenses. right this is over. for steel it. got through.

the bunker now doubles as a museum with various classrooms holding its old equipment geiger counters gas masks and first aid kits are all on display at the most interesting area is right down in the depths. it's an eerie experience entering this huge conference room and imagining the plans that might have been made here the central table is laid out for the generals and politicians stenographers are off to the right and stalin himself would have sat under the huge map of the head of the room for the majority of the soviet union's existence some are was renamed bush if on the map clearly indicates that strategic position safely away from the german front lines it was never confirmed that uncle joe ever set foot here but the designers had obviously been told to meticulously prepare just in case nothing like a little megalomania to start the day but i was very happy to make my way back to

the surface and take in some fresh air there's one real benefits of venturing out on days as cold as these it's going to be this sort of view. the mighty volga river in all its frozen glory now the river here is covered in ice for at least three months of the year and it was always a real pain to get across until some local businessmen opened up the rather unusual ferry service. but larry has been running the operation here since two thousand and seven literally thousands of people come to cross the river every month and they all jump into these questions hovercrafts and it's made the journey a lot less precarious. before we started using the hovercraft people would try to cross the river by truck or car but sometimes the thin ice caused disastrous accidents so it is the only safe method. but now it only takes ten minutes and costs around one euro to make the journey safely and the bus itself is surprisingly

easy to control. costs see the list. goes like this make. second time like across the ice they want to see me with any passengers but i was very happy to be going solo. we can avoid using any excuse that you get. when you don't have customers to look off to he's easy to get carried away. with the problem with this and so much fun if i was driving this all the time i'd just be tempted to like. drive people to the other side of. this great. bus by now there were several chilly passengers waiting for

a ride so it was time for me to make my exit. and now that. is what i call a very graphic. on foot so i was ready to check out some of somalia's other attractions i'm one of them is quite literally out of this world. if you're talking about the soviet all the russian space program when you're talking about samoa and the soyuz rockets are seventy percent of the world space flight school use these rockets and then made right here in the city. one of the proudest parts of summer is history and include the launch vehicle to stalk the carried the first man into space i'm now some of the city's cosmic achievements are on display to the public.

this museum is full of a lot of smaller as space memorabilia take a look. i'm next to an old landing module and i met up with museum director for a guided tour of the premises. is the right place for such a museum. are a city has been the local point of base country space engineering for decades here you can see they are manned satellite that has been in outer space. program about it is a replica of quartz the world renowned cosmonaut yuri gagarin used during his space missions. there are around six hundred different exhibits that date back to the beginning of space exploration including some of the most advanced technology of the cold war. makes me feel very small when you realize that you're next to something the times sleep in out there among the stars and these spy satellites were part of the soviet and russian space programs for the best part of forty years

and these lenses so powerful that. if i open this up i do that even only a hundred kilometers above the head to be able to read what was on the museum is definitely one of the city's cultural highlights but if you're also a winter sports fan you won't be disappointed either ok so if your smee fun things to do in the rush of winter i can tell you maybe sledging a bit of skiing i probably wouldn't say go. bust here in samoa but don't let a small thing like conditions get in the way of the rounds. and designers of the ski resorts have built their own i see nine hole course. with me so the player. versus your best if you allude to speak english yeah. james i'm glad that you are ok well this is

a first for me ok in the snow actually for me too so. what's the idea about stay what's going on while it's a golf tournament so you play golf almost the same rules as first time i may have some local rules. all of us troops are in accordance with conditions of weather conditions and ok so now you're trying to play in my house. but always been in the good walk spoiled camp when it came to golf but glad i was obviously a dab hand and she said she could give me a few pointers. what do we need to do so the first thing you have to do set up your ball on the tee ok yeah bend those bits on and to make up position. so prepare yourself to make a suit and then so make this. the smaller you are the head.

not exactly in all spaces start and i always thought go for the non-contact sport. oh yeah. walking wounded. i want to. get out of the way of the person playing class to some something t. i was ready to tee off. and as the ladies went on with this one of them i decided i'd play a solo round and as long as i wasn't attempting to blow its longest drive the bold decision to head in the right direction. or still miss. c.u. ball usually on the way here. is a game that's always golf now for people who judge.

mind you my technique wasn't my first concern. was the temperature down around minus twenty celsius so minus four points i reckon i may have made one of the quickest ice cold frowns in history. right. comes in the high school championship. game like. james brown who is now going to enjoy some very well deserved gold because. in the clubhouse it may have been freezing but some are it was turning out to be a lot of fun and i was ready to take a look at another famous russian business because this region home.

twenty years ago in the largest country. to certain places. must have been itching. to get to china. where did it take. emission free clinic ation free. for charges free. range three. three. free. old free lunch. and free media.

if you wander around the streets of samarra there's one coming you'll see more than any other and that's no surprise because it's dominated the region's manufacturing industry for decades. if you think of the russian car then you can't help but think of that they've been going up and down the country's roads for almost half a century and their story. this is the alto. in two thousand employees work within it six hundred head says they could use to and haul thousand new calls every day. ok so when i think about this that's

a classic this is pretty much what props up in my head but it's. making something a little more modern. and i was ready to see how it was done. in the right place to. relieve a few nice new. i would be a bad date populace ok so this is where everything begins again so this is where the story of the barbecue we are in the world and the reason i love the problem of stability and art at the history of the last began in the late sixty's and the beds we produced more than twenty six new winds of hard to print them a list that's silly we could use the infamous of course there from cold blood in the north slope on the basis of we are soon more than possible but one of the few.

pick a leader is one of laws biggest sellers and machines work day and night keeping production line going to win the prize blind relieved by all of us to give a good sermon company to come up good it is so well then that the reason the night of the car boarding up to new only a few persons are needed here and there is the corporation is. what's missing here . and once the frameworks assembles it's on to the next talks deliberation. now will go into the next stage and it worth the gamble with the board ok and then the border with forces go into the sweetest only days of the game. and in the neighboring hangar things were moving on quickly. from the wind screams to the engines and the wheels all poets return separately and it's remarkably forced operation. and what do you get for your seven thousand euro

price tag something like this. so of the sixteen hundred pieces of metal but only four hours on the production line my brand new goal of the killing are you ready for the roads. to believe there may be a very popular culture around here in the winter time it can get you everywhere sometimes you just have to try out some more traditional means of transport. you know i recently strapped on a pair of skis to run about the first time in twenty five years that was quite quiet easy reintroduction but here in samoa i decided i'm going to ramp things up a little bit. so you know if i'm guessing it but even some are like to do things a little bit extreme yes you are extreme right now what exactly we're going to be doing here we're going to ski your in on. this is that and the

speed that's almost while the roll and this ok this is it will be. sixty kilometers per hour. maybe one hundred right that sounds terrifying. good ok let's go. in here and his friends and fans of yours which you skiing behind animals in this case a high powered snowmobile. romo making the belly up in this business. yeah right get out give me a very soon or just. because i have my medical insurance up to date. plants one way or another i was going to have to give it a go so i was probably kids you know but i was starting to wish i'd just gone and taken the whole across again. ok you know it was actually you know it. really. hurt is all of the good life so please please.

because i got a good simple but. i'm missing you there were a couple of false starts but eventually i managed to stay upright. like he was it out but. i still. owe him still much. what you managed to control your balance this is an amazing experience and soon i was ready to join the going for a group effort. and we're ready to rock.

this nice little all fifty feet that will do the flying. but if you are trying this for the first time it's special to get out of a confident. oh. well. well that's a fairly and sense reintroduction of the scale. but i think. everything still intact. should excuse me i just got out of the rest. but unfortunately my recovery was to be short lived. or still aching for my session out there on the ice but apparently my new friend has another thing that he wants me to try something about. a tunnel runs.

it sounded rather ominous but it's once again because it promised i was going to enjoy myself. for anything. so. we're going to play. but that's ok. ok so simple no super screw it gives you instant flying power. and useful i've got it. and. i hear. her voice ok turns out for the tunnel rats is an acrobatic expert in vertical wind tunnels and i was a bouncer get my first lesson. courtesy with. your mother like. you like. these beautiful imagery.

in happy people. my older man smiled down at the. time of year. clearly the secret here is something changes to your body surface area to it and you should rise and fall safely and if you train enough eventually you can do stuff like this the wind speed is apparently more than two hundred kilometers an hour and it's powered by five hundred horsepower engine enough to even get someone like me off the ground. good along. right ok. into the tunnel. but trouble tara. maybe not this year. and then it was time to take to the things i was

a little worried the market crashed to the floor to any point but remember how the good grip on me. the saucer or. the theory. was a little bit more. true. i will get no better. than outright made it through a ton of them run it was time to go solar. them despite bouncing off the walls a few times i made it down in one piece. where it's ok there are about thirteen techniques could do there apparently but i think i'm going to call that one

a bellyful i didn't notice the superman search works after all. it had been a lot of fun but some are was beginning to tie me out so i thought i'd end my trip with a little self-indulgence the muslim needs a festival has definitely got to be one of my favorite times in russia because basically it's a week long extended version of country ok but it also is supposed to signify the end of winter and i have to watch some more of three dish will make it have a sense i don't quite hopeful. now just to claims that her people would have. first residents of this area after they battled with bashkirian nomads back in the eighteenth century. and it seems they still like to expend some serious energy to get themselves in the mood for a feast. i suspect that this guy very worked up there must be what it is.

they will find that. models of your own was upset because they were hungry but a bit of a bookie seems to solve the problems. really are not here. i . have no idea what was going on number two. zero zero six zero zero zero zero people. and then the guest of honor arrives this old lady represents muslim youths and she's here for a special reason. and then things started to get weird. i. think this is the. element of the last really it's a personal. i'll. try to have some sort of significance. with the piece people is running the sun up to this.

apparent human machine series here to piece all the bad spirits out of you before the year starts a new. adventure you can have a go on with both i guess. the staples that i thank you for it but very obvious. i found once everyone has been cleansed this is yet more daunting to celebrate but finally i managed to sneak off the subject sorry windsor is rank with my i am not kids so i only have. so i see. i should have been the robot and so. i i definitely earned my pancakes but sadly it was time for me to be leaving some aren't. i found a thriving cultural business and scientific center and people that are always ready

to show you a great time. and
