with little hope of survivors being found. next to our mosque while next our mosque team takes you to all the spectacular locations near the kremlin in the heart of the russian capital. hello and welcome the sun is shining and it's a beautiful day on this program we're taking a look. around the kremlin with a history dating back centuries the whole area is a walking open museum and the capital has certainly seen its small truest times over the past few hundred years and from stories to legends google every area. full of interesting facts and figures there are few cities worldwide that resonates with history and culture the way moscow does whether you find yourself in. the ancient

of the kremlin you can spend hours gazing at the various sites here. delve a little deeper away from the typical tourist spots and you'll be amazed at the stories that each building an area of the city has. the bolshoi bridge it's a concrete bridge that spans the most and connects the streets with red square immediately east of the kremlin built in one hundred thirty seven the bridge has a total of forty eight car lanes. with approach is five hundred and fifty four beaches. is pretty extreme or left off to some of the best views in russia and it's deeply so used by russian and international television channels. and we now past the department store goom the building built between eighty nine hundred ninety three features an interesting combination of elements of russian

medieval architecture and a steel framework and gloss roof a similar style to the great nineteenth century train stations of london. today the sea. hundred forty two metre long building boasts a luxurious shopping arcade although it's not cheap so maybe it's best to stick to cultural excursions instead. passing the reconstructed orthodox cathedral of our lady of khazan at the bottom of red square we passed through the resurrection gates is here next to the tacky tourist stalls and just in front of the iberian chapel but you can find a bronze plaque on the cobbled floor that gets lots of attention from locals and tourists one thing here is a small coin. ok and here we have it the famous spots are closed my eyes make us afraid the court and. i hope it comes true as the spot from where all

distances from moscow are measured apparently it's good luck to throw a coin if you will shoulder. so far everything is beautiful. i'm still trying to figure out exactly where things are and where i have to see people have been friendly he doesn't seem to have a really small center like a really big area would be a big roads. beautiful the buildings are amazing is my first day in the city and i already love it moscow is beautiful splendid and grand. moving all and lord translates as guest house is a large buildings to couple of minutes walk from the kremlin from the fourteenth century the area was the epicenter of trade in moscow with merchants around the world arriving to the spot the building we see now is a result of a major research ration that took place in the one nine hundred ninety s. making it a large business trade and cultural center to host numerous offense each month.

they stop we take a brief what's the top left hand side of the kremlin for many years the splendid palace of white stone the stands on the bike of ski hill has amazed people and is. considered to be one of the most peaceful buildings in the russian capital the situation of the building is rather unorthodox two says the main entrance is from a side street and not from the facade which you can see here moving around the corner take a look at this pretty courtyard this building was erected between seventy eighty four and seventy eighty six by the russian noble a short rapacious coffin interesting enough it was also used as a meeting place for various charities. and margarita. very striking building the reality it was once moscow's first public library in the nineteenth century and today the palaces is the russian state library i wonder what it looks like inside let's find out. inside it's almost like going back in

time the interiors of bright historic grant. just shook this room wow you can imagine the space being used for large parties instead it was used because of the looks of the blue and the space was actually used as a library for most of its time. and looking through the window in the second floor here i think this room might have one of the best views in russia. the building is believed to have been designed by famous russian architect of a city version of no documented evidence of his involvement with the house exists however as the records of question of projects were lost in a fire at the moscow town planning archive. two books now let's take a look at one of the libraries here today the right wing of the house houses the manuscripts the palm and while it's left wing houses the music department and the

maps department of the russian state library. it's rather strange to hold a book which is hundreds of years old. scripts he is in great condition i wonder why people held it before me. even more interesting is that the depths of the area underneath the passion of house is said to be one of the several possible locations of the legendary library of ivan the terrible now that is something i would like to see. moving on. as it's known in russian is a contemporary central exhibition hall the venue houses dozens of various. displays annually the interest only enough the building was not meant as a cultural venue in the first place in eight hundred eighty eight the structure was erected as the first power plant in the center of moscow but it was abandoned shortly to become a vast gallery

a century later. to our next location now and not all the museums around in the kremlin are dedicated to history and art those who are interested in nature don't need to travel further from the city center as well as moscow's oldest and not just as among school museum is located just a short walk through red square this museum of the moscow state university was founded in seventy nine and since then the funds that make it in the first ten of such collections in the world she teaches display represents all kinds of animals that truly inhabit our planet it's easy and comprehensive to walk around the museum as the displays organized in a systematic order so that visitors can explore various species from single celled organisms to be enemies with the one behind my back. don't be surprised if you see many students who are walking around the kremlin as

the building across the street from the malays square is home to the faculty of journalism of the moscow state university. the university bears the name of the outstanding scientists of the eighteenth century the north off. known as the university building complex was moved to spring hills area in the middle of the twentieth century and now it's the future journalists who are lucky to study right in the heart of. our final location square is the moscow museum. the physical changes between. mediæval moscow to the modern day capital are quite significant in the various models situated in the museum you can see buildings and street plans for the various stages in history one of the main differences is the existence of a river which once used to lie along the top side of the kremlin where moscow was

rebuilt after the fire of eighteen twelve. was confined to an underground tunnel several years later and the bridge was buried interesting stuff like a visual history book at the museum here you can see for yourselves how the city's changing cityscape came into effect the museum opened in ninety nine to seven i was located seven meters underground on the exact spot where a large. took place during the night the ninety's the main space is sensitive around this part reconstruction of the old seventeenth century bridge which you can see here and during the excavations a whole range of other items such as metal coins and household objects were also found many of which you can also see on display here inside the museum. the team involved in the project foundations of stone buildings from the eighteen month centuries they also discovered wooden streets as well as chambers and other

structures. allowed to discover traces of the handicraft industry and to reconstruct the life of people who inhabited this district centuries ago. not many people realize that they are walking on top of the museum but nevertheless on venue is popular and there are even more visitors during weekends when we are experienced interactive educational events. whether it is through its beauty or grotesqueness may be up for debate but what can be denied is that moscow inspires and has done for hundreds of years as a city almost eight hundred seventy years old moscow has many reminders of extra massive past. and for businesses and even locals it's quite often the small and intricate sites and locations that make up the cultural thread one of the city. yes the kremlin might be the powerhouse provide the spot to this photo opportunities

but it's also the areas around t.m.i. mogs which also the stories to the makeup of the city. well you'll sadly be impressed with the long lists of cultural laws around the area of the kremlin that's the sole well fortunately that's what it's all we have left on this week's program i'll see you again at the same time next week i will be safe i various and stayman spots around here say and sell them for me and the rest the same from a nice way here about. the people of the united states and their friends and allies will not live at the mercy

of an outlaw regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder his regime as an active program to acquire and develop nuclear weapons and let there be no doubt about we know for a fact there are weapons there. this were just being carried out under the direction of dr david kay respected scientist and former u.n. inspector was leading the weapons search in iraq we are determined to take this apart you have a tremendous a group of dedicated american men and women involved in this with the best assets of the intelligence community and provide. data cheney is not going to be done with this for quite some time david kay wants more time and he says it could take another six to nine months to make a definitive finding ministration is asking. rest for hundreds of millions more are six hundred million dollars to fund a continuing search have not yet found shiny pointy things that i would call a weapon before we can draw from conclusions we need to let the iraq survey group complete its work. we were all wrong probably in my judgment.

and that is most disturbing. sometimes the true patriot takes the unpopular course but helps the country avoid mistakes and even if they come this way at least from patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels and i think these are scoundrels they have no argument now they have no defense for what they did the country is in a terrible international security situation that i think is perilous so they're attacking the patriotism of others. well. science technology innovation all the least a melanin some around russia we've got this huge earth covered.

the u.n. security council condemns deadly terrorist attacks near a military intelligence complex in the syrian capital damascus which killed fifty five syrians demanding measures against foreign powers supporting terrorism. a russian businessman and arms dealer sentenced to twenty five years behind bars in the west makes to our team as he prepares to be sent to supermax security prison holding some of america's most dangerous criminals and that's against a recommendation of his trial judge asked for medium security confined. and rask areas have found twelve bodies while battling dreadful weather conditions and the treacherous terrain to reach the scene of the sit. in indonesia the are meters from the main disaster zone with little hope of survivors being found. those like out lines and sports next with paul scott.

sport not quite as popular as in other parts of the world but there's a dedicated bunch of people aiming to change all of that we're on course or have has more from the country's most prestigious course the moscow city club. this club located a short ride from the country's kremlin and red square launched russia's first it sounds at finding a place on the international gold map twenty five years ago back then only a chosen few could appreciate this game which was recently welcome to the olympic family the history of golf in russia began as any other congress did so it was the private expensive clubs for the wealthy people bought and now we are in the moment when i expect that number of golfers will grow dramatically in the nearest future quarter of a century own and gold still largely remains beyond reach for everyday amateurs here in moscow the us alone russia where there is one obvious but certain amount of

an obstacle while the lack of necessary infrastructure which would make goal for the vailable for the masses is hampering the sport's ambitions to stake a claim to the market of the biggest country on earth that sometimes people say ok the climate in russia too cold to build their goal failed you see in finland and they were using winter going and they play bingo and i'm sure that we just have to change the mind to people to that it's not just. it's have to be sport for people and it's very healthy what i can see more healthy than many not a sports the capitol's inner city golf course pioneered the sport for muscovites it's a private club but opens its doors to the public and the media once a year to stage the opening thirty minutes that will set the pace for the remainder of a short russian season on fourteenth in moscow and if i want season which is maybe short as in the world. you see the what is nice big golf course is in the buffet is

based scot lead finished the day tied with poulter he was the only player not to register a bogey a sixteen and a half foot putt for birdie on the second set in the time for his day he carded eleven birdies in total however it wasn't such a good day for tiger woods who had a seventy four i mean tied in one hundred place the former world number one is in real danger of missing the cut for the ninth time of his career. i just didn't score you know i hit. three decent shots in there and just got some of the worst slice you know and the best shot i had all day was on three in up in a spot where i really couldn't play from so. it was frustrating and you know my good shots in bad spots and i was about shots and up in a war spots well in the n.b.a. the denver nuggets of force the seventh and deciding game in their playoff series with the los angeles lakers they won game six one hundred thirteen ninety six to level the series of three three boston and took their place in the semifinals after

the world's largest art museums that sets it off gallery the organizers hope that with it they will raise test his awareness but also give people a chance to see some of russia's wonderful arts it's in the original twist on an otherwise already classic game what's more it's also being held in a country that's heralded many chess champions including the two famous case and a totally comp off and get it caspar off but this is two eyes that will compete in israel's boris gelfand versus india's of this one i found. they know each other well having played each other many times before. but many have raised the question of whether a man feels intimidated playing a player older than himself in a match of such importance i mean he's olivier minor the order is not really he was to be something like that. i would say it's just interesting to play someone completely from a generation. we we started playing each other. and know many many of the

language so but he says the body just based on. boris played down the idea that the match up would be akin to the legendary carp of this is a spot of jewels and revealed how he's been preparing the bush that would deal with what i won't be doing is beating any words but with regards to the match i hope it will be a spectacular one of course we all want to perform well but it will all depend on how it goes and we'll see the result in three weeks time. the event brought out a handful of prominent figures including former soviet union president mikhail gorbachev called the chairman of the supervisory council of the russian chess federation stressed it was a good thing that the final was being held on neutral ground for the rest just that ration the fact that we are organizing the world championship match is another information that. russia is reading gestation and.
