disagreed with me but in india the village has a future given its hold on it's a nice quiet place and that's why i said to residents come here we would need new people for some houses. so it looks like far from dying out gleaners granddaughter could be joined by many more visitors i wouldn't hold out for the road though tom bottom r.t. then it's time for guinness and a green lager again as moscow hosts its st patrick's day celebrations revellers gathered in the capital's center to mark island's most famous holiday to join the festivities. there's no doubt that when you think of us in paddy's day you think of the irish people themselves but also the most iconic google. today of the old regime just bad just like the rest of the world from new york to baton called to beijing as well as here in moscow now moscow has actually been celebrating these
