material is for. journalism honest. we wanted to visit. something else. now past the hour here in moscow you're watching here your headlines but a syrian government says it will not pull its military from cities without written guarantees from the armed rebels that they won't move in straight afterwards the ultimatum from damascus comes less than twenty four hours before the u.n. expects a complete withdraw this ahead of thursday's planned ceasefire. twelve survivors of monday's siberian plane crash are in a stable condition it's now thought likely that

the always of the world to train on russia's snow easters thankfully you don't have to be in the olympic athlete to make the most of the country's point system. and i think it's fair to say you haven't had the real russian experience until you've lived through one of their winter snows comes up the knees and bone chilling temperatures that last for months at a time but if you travel around a little you'll find that one thing the russians do really well is so fun when it's freezing. but we're not just on your average trip to the peace to my children journey is going to spam you three thousand kilometers to say keep the race trucks and cars from russia to the streets of some period something that simple just like clappers . my friends i went to preparing for

ross's fight with my celebrity son so high until the spring. but there are a great variety as you say the i.c.l. the best seller. this busy garridge is full of only speedway competitors men who think nothing of racing round frozen tracks at one hundred thirty kilometers an hour with no breaks and i was being shown around by russia's best three so i'm seeing world champion genteel even off so this is mega law they're ok so this is this is danielle steve these are the guys who actually won the world champion six years ago that bites. and so this. is your bike. was no more the. and it's time is something to behold these spikes so. sick of this.

ok there's the downsides facing the fight seems like. he's. the old school hasn't put him off but then the elites trying to make sure he doesn't pick up any new ones. my thing currently i'm the only a russian athletes who wear this kind of gear some pretty serious protection they need just in case saying it's like a full suit of armor plus extras. it was touring the megalomaniacal is now time for the truck and for me to take my place in the stands. but. i think it's just the backside of. the race follows the same rules as some of speedway full up sides equal points among the things i wouldn't call as many against a live. wire no.

way to leverage up yeah. it's not just the speedway riders to be won it's in the wind so. now i want to force them in conditions like these driving it would be tough enough in itself but it seems that there's always a way to make it a little bit more challenging and looks the way an italian see garrincha to buy cars on a one wheel. hello. i'm alexey nice to meet you and this is your famous yes it's our uni motto we're preparing for the comforter sions if you want to help we're planning to load it of course we can't. do this alex a is a unit moto writer

a firm believer that one wheel is better than two and the designer is highly international creation. so i don't think loops are always penny fully. moules q customs people so this is their custom made russian bike with a japanese engine. the wheel is from the army to. the indies the. deal. he had lied comes from india. and there is also a portrait used to belong to a singular soon machine. it's against the boy school when they go up but which translates as mega slipper but the two hundred kilos she's not all that comfortable to deal with. so this is. the legacy. to make of last. championship look at me.

go to win. or if i'm wrong soviets or stories were wrong we're ready to head off some new language let it out and i get to see what she can do. in the stadium. i'm to tell you how to use you to motel championships everyone is looking to build his own machine comes up the road it's becoming a wide range of shapes and sizes individuality is certainly the name of the game notre boy with the like we need to compete is one wheel propulsion system this is the first ever my students are focused on the schools found a way for us to see. what

is unique is that this is the twenty one year odyssey to come in. the sport was originally invented for the people of the world this is not a money man's sport this is for people who are creative who can take an idea from inside their mind build that into a machine and then have the guts to get on it and ride it but everybody can do this it doesn't matter if you young old men women children there's a class for everyone money will not win this war creativity and ingenuity will. cleanse your classroom show along with some serious speech and all megalopolis certainly hold its own. but if you're looking for a role the more genteel way to spend a winter cuppa to. think. the best days are out with a trip to the track and here in russia they've got their own style of racing which

takes a bit. of. this stunt foam prepares for serious civically for the troika it's a uniquely russian form of racing that they took back to the time of catherine the great and uses three horses honest alongside each other to pull to sway. the stable uses all of troops was a powerful elegant breed and it was time to get them ready for that big day. you think oh boy. i'll raise a go for rise. of. the senior statesman of the stables. the most experienced.

they have. to leave horse of all sleds. everything is prepared as it would have been back in the eighteenth century complete with the bells that told everyone the troika was on its way. you can see why this would be some spectacle how these three. in full flow together. three. truthful triplets practically. and i was about to get a taste of what they could do but this is what i call riding in style alexandra and alexander. are ready to go i were off to the races. it's certainly a metallic way to travel just make sure you're well on. the

minus of loomed up for the horses certainly house and once they go on to the race track a river that leaves alexandria each in his train have been winning titles for the best part of twenty years and it was no surprise to see them surged through to take another trophy back to the stables. one of russia's more ancient methods of when to transport it was time for me to try one of the newest i don't know it was invented far away in new zealand it's become a common sight the country ski resorts. in most sports you need certain skills to succeed nimble footwork brute strength for short lines but seemingly in this next one just coming to gravity will do the trick.

it's the gun it's the. morning hello hello. it's on my choice three years if i can be dangerous no injuries ok let's go miss you mean you haven't had a launch breakfast it probably is on it's just in case our instructor was on hand to give me some safety tips. ok so there are two spheres the inside spirit has a dam it's are of two meters the outside one measures three point two metres you will be fastened that six points and some of the straps will keep your hands and feet in place others will hold your body. your job is to spread out your weight of overall six passengers so if you're ready let's go i'm ready i don't think so. right. oh. it.

was very comfy. still safe secure. and ready to roll that hill hey. it seems helplessly turning head over heels convergys squash the range of emotions ready as i'll ever be. lovey the. truth. behind me. was all about ok i'm going to add one small cup it will i said before a strong stomach is definitely in the balance and. just make sure the call is close by because you might have trouble walking in a straight line for a while for me and got me plenty of little while. seasick

. i've had to make sufficient dates in believe me oh just table one which is enough in a day to go through my life and. no more than fifty percent of the people who are actually texas are not. why you know living nor do afterwards right. this is a snatch and you know we execute our convicted capital murder we have the highest execution rate in america we're not afraid to do it we do it well oh it's it comes a point when the gift becomes. oh i ever do a whole. hour to get in there you're dead to be executed next week then is appears steering on the dudes you know you can loose here want to be appearance with the in a manner of me sanity it's time to go just so our group. and i would be to the

end of this to the death chamber of. commerce trade till after they were being. asked. to. ok running down a hill or a giant plastic hole i was hoping my next speech would be wrong the last day. i was on the frozen lakes of the country southwest slowing down anyway.

now i'm here to heal it one of the newest and fastest growing winter sports in russia combined skiing snowboarding windsurfing one of these this is so-called sing along at the. time he actually brings together some of the best riders from all across the country for his i knew all about a race across the ice that has passed his trolley up to one hundred kilometers an hour. but. you are going to give me a very quick basic introduction shoes clothes so we have all our new bonus little. wind and little luck we should be good roads. and even a little cars takes a lot of preparation. for starting. the first understand where the wind but from where you know that. from his house.

full of the guys. here. with my anchor into the wind when you. take it out for some snow. then you just have to let the lines out after one or two full starts on the way. all of a mark must be you know like you're driving a. good bunch keeping it in the air is easier said than done through. or let. let let let let. go. i've got. great fun though i can't imagine actually doing something which is going to slowly me across the snow and it fortunately this time i don't have to i'm just about

maintaining you the moment i think and that's when. most notable attach but. this will do me i'm going to leave the actual racing to go here and see. how far if you get with this very. well i practice eagle once you get ready for the serious business of the day and i joined him for his final preparations. special about the. discipline. in russia as for the president here and once the wind really begins to blow and start to get very tough. best like thank you finish line. and his competitors started to move away eagle was ready to go.

to take his place in the start it's very funny because those who got any whistles will clarkson's or anything but i'm reliably informed he's about to head off first to see what i mean makes them. the riders make two loops of the ice for a thirty kilometer race skiis travel far more quickly than the snowboarders so it looked like we might be in for a once in a point. here is a lot one i do. all the way. a number of judges keep track of each race timing the riders as they possibly the checkpoints and offer a very chilly. go ahead and finish. i

couldn't make a winter sports program without a visit to siberia russia small just i'm coldest region in five to get some chilly head coaches have to warm up the pools so players don't get in just a little push here in camera but it's no footy that brings the crowds out here. it's a whole different build a. city i say hi james already going well we're ahead. again it's good that. yes it's very loud. that the stadium can hold up to thirty thousand founds and it's easy to get drawn into the speed and dynamism of the game you learn you look at the analogy of a penalty say they get. their kicks and got here i was. i. knew.

they score. so you already think it's not just a fan favorites in siberia. i the sport has always been popular all across russia but i'm sure about a skin cream or yale the way t.v. countries west including our hahnville skin more months on the white sea coast in other words people really enjoy this open air game all over russia i can understand why it was joel's flying in from both ends the final straw and his seven sixth who's boss and it turns out that you've got to be approved to get. mel states generally equals me on the full fairly quickly but there is a bit more of a fun friendly version of bunny you can play using these i'm not. we're all here to

have a go at today. i just need you to meet i would say get out of the supply quit. with the good anyone can play bandy all you do stick some felt boots ok. what's most important is that you played with passion ok absolutely ok you got your boots and will supply you with a stick. you might as well troy your self. righteous donkey to your opponent will just do the job and it's also forbidden to push your opponent for you so let's go now this is a game that they play outside and saw empiria so it's important to have the right here. in the. friendly unimposing status of on me. philip put me on my back so. it seems my team mates and sets my natural goal scoring ability i want to send up front in attack i was just having

small problems with my turning circle. so this is why i stay on your feet. in good balance. when will. you send me away. which in hindsight was probably very small it's not six. and there were a few crunching tackles going into the hole who loved and. possibly michael's abuse and wasn't the most telling but also fifteen minutes that felt like an hour my team ended up until. the body cells of all. guernsey three.

points no he schools or to see was almost as land and i have one of the famous still trying. to. think of gold fake images of some. sun bunkers plus creams but today i've gone some snow drifts and whites but they don't let a small thing like winter get in the way around. back in tallahassee they've built their own place courts says a little too much to some call and stay. so many competition we have four holes and. two people. as many towns as we want ok and see

who comes out of some sort for the ice cold championship but always been in the good spoils camp when it traps golf but danielle is a keen plant and he promised to give me a few tips. for annoying thank you because with great expertise i think this is obviously the. club from this distance you know what she dimitri and. the old boys woodward boys agrees on the difference in russian. or the wind but knowing the right thing to shout was not my biggest obstacle had a. nice fluid swing. i can easily see it. come on only one. look that's one. price so yeah i think this is what we call being in the

rough. as it is it gets and is somewhere it's. got a deep deep in a snow drift it's the neil was having no such problems as he hits one sweet shots. well very nice that. ok so i can understand some a goal for nice weather maybe a bit of business on the links but when you fingers of freezing all. of it's about you know minus ten or fifteen. of. people here i miss the missing goals you know and. so. wants to be whole when we get to go to the socializing maybe have a drink after. that i can relate to yes yes we're late as as many as we can and these from the studio went to catch up with the competition i

started to get the hang of things plus at least i had a more thorough action gently. into the whites to. see what. appear to haunt. them pretty hard to the lawyer was really. the with the temperature close to minus fifteen celsius the console was too worried about my signature i was ready to finish my round her head back to the clumps. and crown. a magnificent. think you can only get better than that. the winter in russia can certainly be crucial but if you're happy to give the outdoors a trawick there's no shortage of things that will keep you sane through the frosty

months whether you're taking parts or just relaxing unless your goal is to work and at the end of the day spring is never the. i'm. from.
