in last year's fukushima disaster out of a catastrophic earthquake and tsunami. is our headlines and up next we're off to discover what to see and what to go in the russian capital that's all in moscow. hello and welcome to the pride of on this week we're taking a look at the subject of babies and for some people a busy capital city such as moscow might not be the ideal place so far. so with that in mind various. shops schools and entertainment. isn't that radical for an ex-pat to have a baby in the russian capital let's find out. having a baby broad with no family support network and in a completely different culture can seem daunting throw in the harsh climate in

russia busy traffic and expensive lifestyle how accommodating is the russian capital for new parents surprisingly for many it seems very. welcome to the child development center or wow town as it's called in english formerly known as the world of childhood i'm here to meet marina and her baby sonia like me it's the third time here green has been married to a japanese american husband for several years now and the family are always looking for new places to take their new young daughter. it's a fun and exciting complex of entertainment education and shopping for the whole family and the perfect example of such a place in the russian capital dedicated to babies toddlers and children up to ten years old this hospitable venue is a cozy place for timely recreation painting craft tables puppet shows you may miss . the venue also boasts cafes on the first and second floors to have their own play

rooms with toys and kitchen utensils who looks fun. at a healthy menu with fresh juices and homemade pizzas and you have a dream solution to what can be the mighty. the process of dining out with small children it seems like people needed if we love because you can see so many details in design it's colorful and friendly people children. the complex is the ideal location to shop for all sorts of toys educational games and products for creativity although there is one slight issue at times here noise while town will while you in many ways but it's not really a place to relax or. reading to on expand you me the rides at the department store located

a knew all about in the sense of the capital i'm here with lisa close i had also olivia who's nine months old with three venues in moscow bhaskar bambini is a bright and exclusive looking store professional salespeople are on hand who can help customers choose what they need and advise every child development education safety issues what items are best for children of different ages. looking around with alicia and livia i'm not sure he is having more fun. which is italian for cherry orchard is the official clothing provider of the russian olympic team the children and baby store here is just a tiny part of the huge company back to shopping for little olivia has plenty to choose from and one policy can find a supervised children's corner where your little ones will never be bored in other areas of the store you can find a whole range of furniture that's been specially designed for little ones.

well problems cots clothing accessories and shoes you name it you'll find it here in fact this store has an impressive collection of items for babies toddlers and children up to fourteen years old. but interestingly enough many of the items on sale here are imported from europe it seems that for many people western imports and new style are very very important with the competition for their baby to look the best. with prices around thirty percent higher than in the west how much would you pay for an item of clothing for a baby. what's our guess impression of the store. and i like the store a lot because it's very convenient mothers and their children there is an area where your child can play while you shop and also it's nice that babies can play with any toys here in this tour if we're taking them home in.

trial next guess now and i'm being taken to the brights family center by texaco coming tommy. born in japan she's brought along her beautiful young daughter. although the venue here is small there's a large spectrum of interesting classes and activities that take place here prenatal workshops for example they come in various forms but all have the same aim to help prepare women for labor birth and early parenthood the bright family center also trains cheetahs here teaches are taught new skills which they can pass on to expectant mothers and those with children of all ages such as new breathing exercises stretching and yoga the birth life method is neatly baby oriented so we are led by the baby we are a developmental program we used to be it is natural growth reflexes development to give us our guidance as parents hired to work on tight. with our being the

center is most popular for its core sessions during babies and young children used to water early in their lives makes sense from a safety point of view it's also great fun and. good exercise to some private baby swimming. for weeks but most six it's just that the pool is heated to around thirty two degrees babies are born able to do primitive swimming strokes the special build upon these natural reflexes until children are completely happy moving in and through the water. and having great fun. moving all the other places are dedicated to the little people of the russian capital well there are several large shopping malls that cater only for babies and kids with some located in the downtown area of the city there are also many that one hole in your pocket situated from the center of the small is home to more than

hello there thanks for watching the sport here in r.t. and these are the headlines going down told you seventy a spell in the russian top flight comes to an end to one of the few two koreas to get. class going for gold rush you guys hockey to you sees timely reinforcements in the game the world championships in scandinavia. and should i or should i go to russia basketball star andre kurylenko why it's a familiar to the brooklyn that. start there with the news that tom toms have been relegated from the russian premier league after a one zero defeat at curley. were getting the game's only goal after just six minutes rising at the far post here tom did have their chances to equalise and also had a good penalty a pail turned down for humble in the first half but sometimes the referee managed

to miss this one. in the second half tom did press again but couldn't find a goal and their fate was effectively see when midfield at dennys grantee have were sent off for a second book about left and ten minutes from time to seven years spent in russia's top flight then is over korea and i two points above the relegation playoffs. so this is how the bottom end of the russian prime a league is looking at the so-called relegation groups toma dying along with about it now chick dash the third in full bottom things will enter the relegation tie off at the end of the season their current they are currently brushed off on volga karelia just two points above them with two games that. mean more russian strike a public good have any access he would like to stay in the english premier league side for them when the current season comes to an end rushes international joining the court accused online from stood guard at the last day of the transfer. when

they were in the winter and has scored six goals in ten league parent says however his contract with abundance league side expires at the end of the season when he will become a free agent and the twenty six year old says he's going to stay at craven cottage . in spain real madrid have been celebrating the league a triumph scored enjoying an open top bus parade from the stadium through the spanish capital around twenty five thousand fans lined the street three no way and let it go by on wednesday clinching the league crown since two thousand and eight. and while that was going on cross city rivals are. holding an open training session ahead of the europa league showdown with i think bill bad next wednesday madrid won the competition just two years ago when they beat fullam in the final we rely heavily on goals from the striker falcao who scored twenty three times in a league and i remarkable fourteen times in the europa league this season in the

final would equal his own record of seventeen goals in europa league campaign set last year when he won the trophy with porto. now despite the frantic end to the spanish season sporting director and former players in the things that dan has found time to come to moscow he has been promoting a project close to his heart to develop football schools around the world and he gave local children a day they would never forget as no. i he is the man who needs no introduction to any added to. the champions league best player of the last twenty years and twenty eleven zero gone continues to give back to football first and foremost to real madrid and seconds but probably equally as important to football's next generations group two that are the. opening in his native france i. i can see the perfect storm i can confirm that

this project is indeed underway in exome probably we would also like to start it off in my say but we have not succeeded in it as yet for a number of reasons it's a family project for me to a large extent and a very important one the project is a success the children can come to the schools and learn to play football and we hope that it will one day become a national project and who knows maybe one day we'll open a school in russia there's definitely plenty of talent in russia which would appreciate whatever the famous frenchman has to offer zedong branded product launch out of the way she then went on to play to tim it happens with local kids who probably wanted to show off more than they wanted to learn. i can't describe my feelings i played with sudan he's great that shit i support real madrid and he didn't used to play for them there were so many photographers here today i hope i got him one of those pictures. hopefully as it is he done will complete he's wish

lists for the game of football including opening a can to me here in russia i. despise a road some of the short stay in the russian capitals anythings it down left a huge mark in the hearts of those children legend one said that when he was a kid she dreamt of becoming a football player thank god thank you and hopefully carried the key to success with those russian children as well ramon cost reporting moscow. good stuff now the ice hockey world championships begin today getting see sweden take on norway while reigning champs finland face better race russia start their campaign against the swedes on saturday and have been based in by reinforcements from the n.h.l. . zito i believe dealer has now been in charge of the russian mission royce hockey team for almost a year and the world championship will be the biggest test. for the coach so far

despite the fact that russia's main aim is building a team for their home olympics and twenty fourteen winning the world title would act as a huge confidence boost ahead of those sochi games if the team plays like i want them to play hell be satisfied which should see the tech six we're supposed to be applying however the result is very important as well if we have a soul it seem ready to battle we will achieve a good result the red machine has already received reinforcements from the n.h.l. the color of the avalanche simone varlamov seems to be the first choice between the pipes while the n.h.l.'s best forward game that is worth being wins will surely add more goals to the team stalley and the detroit red wings center bottled up soup will join the side in sweden but neither model can not at soup has yet to leave to the world championship trophy but we're good friends with zuckerman it's good that detroit were knocked out of the stanley cup and he can join the team he's one of

the best players in the world it's a pleasure to play alongside him and hopefully we'll get a positive result this time as the medium of still hasn't named his final roster and has a reserve three places for players from north america whose teams will be eliminated in the second round of the playoffs however nothing can stop russia's youngest forward even gave up from going to his first ever world championship. in one thousand year old is often compared with malkan and the pair was playing in the same line at the training camp. and you all can is a great player and of course i'd love to play with him and that would be an on or for me to be in the same line as him but it's up to the coaches to decide the red machine faces ought to be in the open wound said a day two of the world championships and as usual russia are among the favorites with a new ish coach behind the bench and a solid rooster on the ice and say about half of our t.v. . his biggest basketball star could be making his move back to the n.b.a.

to join up with the league's only russian owner according to the country's sports media undertaker lanka as a verb agree with me prokhorov brooklyn nets are the to go forward he is currently preparing for the euro league final four as a longstanding relationship with the nets and he said to be signing on with the new relay katie club at the end of the european season is believe he'll sign a three year deal kirilenko return to the army man as a free agent and be a lot deciding to play at the season in russia despite the offers from the us i finally the n.f.l. has been rocked by the news that one of the best plays from the ninety's has passed away former chargers dolphins and pantries linebacker junior say-i dying in his california home at age forty three from what i've paid to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest say i started his career and nine hundred ninety playing for san diego until two thousand and two he led the charges

to the things only simple bowl appearance nine hundred ninety four and lost to the san francisco forty nine is sad tragically becoming the eighth member of that yes squad to die prematurely he had made the n.f.l. and after all decade of the ninety's before retiring. in two thousand and nine. years sources home this is worse route two or. any couldn't do enough of the soup for to use them anybody could help be helped but i think people remember him for that and make sure. sounds nice so that is all sport for the moment so i'm back with more interesting. the it
