of earned a place on us goes one hundred cities of the world of great cultural and historical value and secret have one more striking example for me. please have a look at this beautiful old building it was built in the nineteenth century and it was the house of. tradesmen rise to the successful true regional museum what do you think visitors to news we know of court can expect. they can expect. a very friendly. with much. sides. and that's hospitality also applies to one of ms knees most cutting edge attractions. so finally i could back up corner and turn with complete precision and that meant i was ready to head to a brand new misty landmark. so i think we've probably got the worst conditions you

could possibly have for driving it's a day to be inside or at the very least walk but here in the road there is a place where you can burn rubber. whatever the weather. you're looking for me and i think. let's check this place up. but still ok. so he works at the end ring the country's only f.i.f.a. approved motor sport circuits. you're at the major model sports event here in russia entering the start as yeah so you've got your eyes and frank how they're all right here to the right who will be building the main building so there's going to be a lot of people then yes some of. our opening though and you've still got

things to build some wintry techniques. ok and now while they're here they were driving away safer on the roads and this sort of thing you'll you'll be teaching me a few tricks as well the. brakes. were. the first turn is the most challenging one of the biggest number of precious and this turn and really this place could. barely could barely see a thing that was looping going just be able to get a feel for the bus again was able to give me a few good tips because that was your brain here and you try to slow the shortest possible distance here you're going to break with this little girl left over for the next you are just the strength yes oh she refused to go my lap time down which was useful because i had a different type of challenge ahead of you you know apex bridesmaids so if you're

going to go away and i said it's ok. to rest of them i think we do. know. we decided we'd do five laps getting the better of things on the streets those coolers were still pretty tricky. point and draw. like you know. safe and secure and james holmes attended to. wasn't going to win me any races so i had the accelerator. that's the photo hole and squeeze post on this. end with the coming last lap overtake. ok i'm

probably not going to make the championships but if i ever get into a wintry cart chase i'm source it's. my need for speed was still unfulfilled fortunately down by the banks of the volga there's plenty more where that came from now over the chance to try out some pretty false machines on discovering russia but here in the news we know good region they've created a monster piece of merits own design and she's a record breaker. these are a crown a plane it's a cross between a ship and an airplane and they're the fastest commercial amphibious vehicle on the planet. they're designed to effectively fly on a cushion of air just above the water's surface and were originally developed under a cloak of secrecy in the one nine hundred sixty s. but after the soviet union collapsed so did the project and it's only recently that small of versions have been built here in the news new region by rubin and his company and the aqua glowing five is their pride and joy motion picture of

a star in. the body of the place and see how light this is going to be. takes a five liter i'm a sadie's engine runs on petrol and she's designed as an art market water taxi. so here we have it a fully functional i could glide five because. the fact that this river is frozen won't matter a jot we're still going to be able to fly. and he can see he even looks like a plane cockpit inside here as well so i think for a change i'm going to take a break from driving and just relax for this one. once my pilot was in it was time to sit back enjoy the ride and wait for the speedometer

to reach the magic number. so we just crossed the one hundred kilometer an hour barrier and now we have liftoff. literally flying across the ice now. and that was just the start we moved post one hundred seventy kilometers an hour and despite the speed it was still an incredibly smooth trip if you do happen to have a spare half million dollars lying around when highly recommend. called believe i was already flying just a couple of centimeters above this river. that is a pretty special taxi ride sadly i was going to have to hit the roads again if i wanted to get back to moscow. but i still wanted to pick up some authentic nice new souvenirs and for those there's really only one place to go. sadly i haven't been elevated to the aristocracy but i think the grandest gift shop that i've ever seen because this region is the birthplace of one of russia's most famous and lavish

painting styles and it has souvenir is fit for a king. this is whole folk arts it was developed here in the seventeenth century and almost four hundred years on the industry is still thriving. the style takes simple items then paints them to give them an appearance of great value and my going oksana was ready to show me how it was done. so this is as me would involve me to live like clay but then it has this special oil applied to it which shines it up and then the ladies here it's on this album in the outer and then almost ready to be fired. but first it goes through one more process. based method to go. is a serious business the factory employs nearly sixteen hundred people and customers will pay

a high price for their work and there's almost no limit to what they'll paint. some great custom jobs that goes well i think i'd be afraid to click that one of damage if i wasn't in the market for a laptop but i did want something original to take home so it's on offer to help me in a little d.i.y. project. some. tips i was working with the traditional colors of red and black but i don't really go in for broad strokes here . small delicate lines and then suddenly it just all came together. and see this news amazing how your artistic abilities can develop just a little concentration.

pointer to the region has been a roller coaster roy's. business is to historical monuments and try my hand at the delicate and. just plain dangerous. whether you're a culture buff an adrenaline junkie or just passing through. will welcome you in with open arms.

log. eurozone strikes a long awaited deal on the second bailout for greece after the e.u. demanded harsh austerity measures of athens to secure the package sparking riots in the stricken country. a fresh attempt to negotiate a cease fire in syria this time by the red cross as the people have high hopes that an imminent referendum on a new constitution will help stop the violence. russia's upcoming presidential election calls as an outburst of civil activity with people from all walks of life speaking out to promote their political views both pro and anti-government.

is a common broadcasting live from the heart of moscow this is r t with me. it's been a tough night in brussels where euro zone ministers have reached a deal on a second bailout for greece it took them so. several hours to agree on the one hundred and thirty billion euro cash injection expected to save the country from default earlier the greek parliament went through a storm of public outrage and several internal conflicts to approve the austerity measures demanded by international creditors for more on the story let's cross live to our test our sylvia. does it took more than twelve hours but the deal is finally done what details do you have on what's been agreed in brussels. well yes after twelve hours going into the early hours of the morning the leaders of the seventeen

years on countries did come to an agreement they will give greece that one hundred thirty billion euro bailout the second such bailout for the country this is of course to stave off that looming deadline of march twentieth a. nice house to pay fourteen point five billion euros back and if they weren't able to do so they would have technically defaulted so in fact made has avoided that sort of messy default that everyone was keeping an eye on now athens will also ask banks and investors to take a loss or write down on their a greek holding some one hundred seven billion euros and aside from that the other national central banks will also go any profits on any of their greek holdings so it seems like they were all trying to find ways to take on some losses but let's not forget the biggest losses of the burden will definitely fall on the greek people we've already seen them just a week and a half ago out on the streets very angry a very deep cuts to wages and pensions pensions being one of the main sticking

points there unemployment is still up twenty percent we saw literally burning it's fair to say that we may see the greeks is still coming out onto the streets complaining and these harsh austerity measures and all this agreement that they came to was. bringing debt to g.d.p. ratio down to one hundred twenty percent of the g.d.p. the i.m.f. chief you see the guardian said that they accomplished of the number one hundred twenty point five but this number is. going to be straight up to twenty twenty so that means years and years and years more of implementing harsh cuts which the greek people definitely be impacted and just to bring this. just a bit more explanation death and g.d.p. there's two variables there even if you keep cutting debt if the growth of the country there's nothing done on the growth that ratio is still going to go up and this is not going to make international lenders happy nor is it going to help the greek people and during. negotiations sensitive words were made by several of the leaders such as the dutch finance minister he said that he would favor

a permanent troika monitoring performance in greece including. monitoring the movement of greece and this is such a sensitive statement at a time when greece already has a technocrat government so the question is did they avoid a default march on the march twentieth yes but that it's all the greek crisis it seems of the pessimists voices are still loud at this point thank you that was our tests are silly reporting from brussels. well the greek funding gap seems to have been plunked the euro zone's financial woes are no deterrent for those still keen to join the currency union. later this hour we were port from la to via the baltic nation is planning to join the euro zone by two thousand and fourteen but many fear it will only bring more problems for both the country and the block. christopher greene creator of alternative media television network a green way of t.v. says the outcome of the debt crisis is already set in stone no matter what's

decided in brussels the greek people do not have any sovereignty over their nation anymore it's been taken over by techno crap so this is a complete the talent to read and take over which the people have no say in again it's the reason that we have riots in the streets right now and i've got to give it to the greek people for actually standing up to the plate other dealing with the norm his problems were looking upwards of forty percent unemployment rates fifty percent in some european countries among the youth that is catastrophic there is no bail out measure or quantitative easing or stimulus program that will prevent the collapse of europe in this is extended to improve the economics this is the land of chocolate colored lollipops and dandelions it doesn't exist this is fantasy so this will not end well i don't have a time frame on it i just know it's a mathematical certainty again you cannot solve the deaf problem with more debt and that is what our leadership around the world on the merkel's or cozy double duo

better notice or cozy is trying to sell to the public. are to his financial guru max kaiser and his co-host stacy herbert are always keen to shine a line on those they think are behind the global economic mess the kaiser report is coming up in the next hour but here's a quick preview. greek authorities say a major armed robbery carried out ancient a limpia museum now my first instinct was wow this is the headline from a.p. that there are mainstream media is actually starting to report what is happening to greece and the real terms of what has happened now right well my media thought was my god did britain steal the elgin marbles again. apparently it's a new band of thieves and they're taking everything but the elgin marbles and of course you find this at the nexus of any wholesale devastation that's occurred in an economy that's been gutted by thieves and bankers in the city of london or on

wall street. the red cross says it's in talks with the syrian government and rebels to stop fighting in the country so it can deliver vital aid some activists claim a regime troops have been gathering around the city of homes while the authorities say they are crushing terrorist groups armed from abroad and with the deadly violence threatening to get even worse many in the country hope the upcoming referendum on a new constitution could help reduce the bloodshed as maria feared national reports . ballots instead of bullets messed up his traces and violent protests have been rolling across syria for almost a year. that. the syrian government does are calling for the people to shape their future together by taking part in a referendum on the country's and you constitution fulfill its pledge to reform.

was very excited that soon he'll be able to decide his own tomorrow. it's a completely new era is good for everybody even opposition can take part it's for all the amendments to the country's number one more have been the key demands of the opposition since the uprising began and the draft seems to cover the most pressing issues it starts with eliminating bath party supremacy which have ruled the country for the last fifty years introduces a multi-party system and sets a two term limit on any future president however if these reforms a cause in controversy. jihad and his friend odin flower shop in damascus he says this new document draws a line between him and his muslim business partner just a shout there is a big contradiction article thirty three says while the. number that he says can be a president what about the other term percent or not here temporarily i've been

living together for ages i want to be counted. now maybe ten percent of the people they speak about this ok but maybe if we was removing this article from the new constitution the ninety percent would said well why you take this article out. public debates on the draft constitution have been organized to bring the people and the authors of the two documents together they don't trust me they don't se the sailors are statistically. you work for hire if you make believe that your city is going to see this becoming but some say the reste a long way to go to that new syria and they don't believe the government will follow through with their reforms i'm afraid if i were a goes the constitution somebody will in the world will shoot me clashes and protests almost every day but some hope that the referendum rule not only breed and

you constitution it might even be able to stop the bloodshed. people who want to improve and develop but also those who want to divide syria we shouldn't help them we should go and vote for. the draft of syria's new constitution has been made public ten days before the national referendum for she knew and forty seven amended articles are all here with comments and details to base of also on t.v. and the internet never in the country's modern history for its residents so close to policy making which many here on the ground fear that the ongoing violence could marry any hope of reform reform altie damascus syria russia says it won't take part in a meeting of the so-called friends of syria group scheduled for friday claiming the coalition takes

a skewed approach to the syrian conflict the group consisting of the u.s. and its allies will gather in tunisia to discuss how to apply further pressure on president over violence in the country and to support the opposition syrian rebels have been invited to take part in the gathering moscow says the meeting doesn't take into account the interests of a large part of the syrian population who support the current regime earlier trying to accuse the west of stirring a civil war in syria with its pro opposition rhetoric international politics politics professor. says beijing would like to see the libyan scenario repeated elsewhere. beijing is simply warming the possibility of these rhetoric eventually becoming part of the policy by the west i mean there is a very interesting parallel here between the syria situation and libya situation with the british army for example the libyan opposition there was a lot of rhetoric and that eventually became part of the official policy of

treatment for us there is some kind of encouragement for the opposition not to accept any kind of political solution and keep fighting and this call for assad to step down we've agencies are very concerned obviously about how this kind of possibility of peaceful resolution of the syrian situation is undermined by any such rhetoric and also causing destruction later this hour we'll be talking to a former senior u.s. presidential adviser who believes america should twice before pushing for assad to be out still. think i did states are american strategists would have to be fools not to see what al qaeda is doing online not to ask the question if it's good for al qaeda can it be good for us not to look at our saddam so he may be a ruthless dictator and what he's doing but what comes after him when he fall so

we've got to ask ourselves is the devil we know preferable to the devil we don't know. whether russia's election campaign in full swing it's not just presidential candidates attracting voters' attention ahead of the ballot next month people from very different walks of life have stepped up to try and make their mark in shaping the country's future artists are a bush gov a report on the unprecedented increase and civil activity in russia in recent years . russia's counsel to paris hilton t.v. host senior subchapter has a reputation to match cleaning to two million dollars a year she leans unmindful glamour bloodied putin was once very close to her father and is still a family friend if rumors are true he could even be such a good father hence the shock when she became a vocal part of the new energized opposition i laughed putin as the man who saved

my father but i don't respect his politics right now he is a free person to think whatever he wants he can think of anything as a betrayal it's his choice i can't agree with his politics and i it's not of the trail at all i just don't agree with this in december subject for the first time in her life joint thousands for street rallies triggered by we committed prosecutions during parliamentary elections. it all started with videos like this one showing eleggua relations at polling stations. yes i immediately understood i had to make this video available for everyone i felt it was my civic duty to report what i believed to be a breach of electoral law and the allegations lead to an outburst of civility between russia encouraging people to get involved in the political process tens of thousands willing to brave subzero temperatures in support of fair elections is

that why we don't do anything nothing will change we have no guarantees but i'd be stupid not to use this opportunity for change i'm happy the country has woken up at that hasn't happened for many years with the fact that all of us who are so remote from politics gathered for this rally is a sign the country is in life new civic organizations are now doing will the time the old ones are getting a second wind before no one even talked about the civil society people didn't have this feeling they had their own business and this was most important for them russia wouldn't be the same. now and this is for sure not everyone is unhappy with the current state of affairs even how muscular a factory worker from russia's euros region has been absolutely indifferent to politics until recently that there are people who don't want revolution and who wants to belittle and for us stability means putin so much promise he made headlines after a televised q.

and a session with the prime minister where he offered to come to moscow and help police street protests should the need arise. these days you can find signs of civil activity almost anywhere in russia for example this campaign has decided to hold their own presidential election unofficial of course anyone can cast their vote simply by choosing their coffee with an image of a relevant candidate on its phone this is the new ground for russia where shaping the country's future has become everyone's business dahlia push kovach r.t. moscow. and you can explore all our stories and more simply by logging on to our website or to dot com where there's plenty more in store for you. you've got these casts a massive stockpile of weapons belonging to the former libyan regime has been on earth and on algeria find out more at r.t. dot com. and top ranked politicians and nuclear sites these are just
