on. the scene. in the news. with little hope. of a headline stay with us if you can if you've never been. to all these spectacular locations or near the kremlin and all around it and other special. hello and welcome the sun is shining and it's a beautiful day on this week's program we're taking a look at cultural outlaws around the kremlin with a history dating back centuries the whole area is a walking open at museum and the capital has certainly seen its a small truest times over the past few hundred years and from stories to legends

google every area and corner here is full of interesting facts and figures there are a few cities worldwide that resonate with history and culture the way moscow does whether you find yourself and meiring st basil's cathedral or the ancient walls 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. first of the bolshoi the most but it's keep bridge it's a concrete arch bridge that spans the most for river and can expose shadow i think a street with red square immediately east of the kremlin built in one nine hundred thirty seven the bridge has a total width of forty metres eights car lanes and its total length with approach ramps is five hundred and fifty four meters. is pretty extreme or the way on the left off to some of the best views in russia and its be points are used by all

russian and international television channels. and we now pass the department store good building bill between eighteen nineteen eighty and ninety three features an interesting combination of elements of russian medieval architecture and a steel framework and glass roof a similar style to the great nineteenth century train stations of london. today this. 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 stores 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 spot so quest why is a question of where the coin. 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 over your shoulder. so for everything is beautiful. i'm still trying to figure out exactly where things are and where i have to see people have been friendly it doesn't seem to have a really small center like a really big area would be a big crowds. and by beautiful the buildings are amazing is my first day in the city and i already love it moscow is beautiful splendid in grand. proving all angus needmore 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 restoration 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. mixed up with a brief to the top left hand side of the kremlin for many years the splendid palace of white stone the stands on the back of ski hill as a maze people and this. considered to be one of the most beautiful buildings in the russian capital the situation of the building is rather unorthodox to this is the main entrance is from a side street and not from the facade which you can see here move ring around the corner take a look at this pretty courtyard this building was erected between seventy eighty four and seven hundred eighty six by the russian noble a short rapacious coffin interesting enough it was also used as a meeting place for various charities of the gulf of spain was novel and margarita

very striking building a match to reality it was once moscow's first public library in the nineteenth century and today the palaces current owner 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 interior is all bright historic and grand. just look at this room wow you can imagine the space being used for largish parties instead it was used for bookworms although it looks like a blue in 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 washing architect of a city bus and 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 archives. two books now and let's take a look at one of the libraries here today the right wing of the pasco house houses the my scripts the palm and while it's left wing houses the music department and maps apartments 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 what people how is it before make. even more interesting is that the depths of the area underneath the passage 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 and the new. as it's known in russian is a contemporary central exhibition hall the venue houses dozens of various displays

annually that interest me 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. vast modern 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 largest design once called museum is located just a short walk through red square this museum of the moscow state university was founded in seventy nine he won and since then gathered funds that make it in the first ten of such collections in the world she teaches display represents all kinds of animals like groom we 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 began a mess like 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 midwest 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 old university building the main complex was moved to the 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 aka logical 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 all 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 legal and i recall 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 archeological dig 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 through in 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 militia laid back foundations of stone buildings in the eighteen months and 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 none of these small touring mannish square not many people realise that they are walking on top of the museum but nevertheless 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't 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 visitors and even locals it's quite often the small intricate

sights and locations that make up the cultural thread work of the city. yes the kremlin might be the powerhouse and provide the fabulous photo opportunities but it's. so the areas around me my marks which also hold by two stories to the makeup of the city. well you'll certainly be impressed with the long lists of cultural laws around the area of the kremlin about some assault well fortunately that's all that's all we have left on this week's program i'll see you again at the same time next week i will be taking a look i various instruments spots around here so until then for me and the rest of the scene from when i was square here about an hour.

the private very expensive clubs for very wealthy people bought now we are in the moment when i expect that number of go first will grow dramatically in the nearest future quarter of a century own and gold still large there 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 and they play bingo and i'm sure that's we just have to change the mind of 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 capitals 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 tournaments that will set the pace for the remainder of a short russian season unfortunately in moscow and if i want season which is maybe short as in the world. you see the weather is nice the golf course is in the buffet is buffet conditional you see the greens define the. finally caught so everything is fine so we're having russian professional golfers you'll be surprised contestants. on any of the globe significant tours for now that is however the country is making small steps towards wider acceptance into the golfing arena and the russian open which will be held in june is a small testament to that room on cost revert see moscow meanwhile over on the

p.g.a. tour the world's best are competing for the biggest prize pot in golf in poulter and martin laird to join leaders at the players' championship or sawgrass after one round nearly ten million dollars worth of prize money is up for grabs this weekend england's a poulter was top of the leaderboard for most of the opening day after a run of full birdies around the turn this difficult bunker shot setting up another on the sixteenth he finished with a seven under sixty five u.s. base scott lead finished the day tied with poulter he was the only player not to register a bogey the sixteen and a half cooked for birdie on the second setting the tone for his day he carded eleven birdies in total it wasn't such a good day for tiger woods who hit a seventy four and is tied in one hundred place the former world number one is in real danger of missing the cut going to the ninth time in his career. by distance score you know hit. you know three decent shots in there and it's got some of the

worst lies you know and the best shot i had all day was on three and up at a spot where i really couldn't play from so. it was frustrating as you know my good shots in bad spots and i was about shots end up in a war spots now in the n.b.a. the denver nuggets a force a seven than deciding game in their playoff series with the los angeles lakers they won game six one hundred thirty ninety six to level the series at three three boston have put that place in the semifinals after a four two series when i read a season high twenty eight points and fourteen rebounds from kevin garnett earning them an eighty three eighty winning game six they are now facing philadelphia after the seventy six is wrapped up their series with chicago with a narrow seventy nine seventy eight victory the winning points were scored by andre with just two seconds to go and. i got to tell you. i don't know how you could write a better script. getting a rebound driving mike to the floor struggled all year to foul line and stepped up

made two free throws to want to playoff series get stuck around for the first time . finally to chess where current world champion viswanathan anand from india is preparing to defend his title against israeli challenger bodies gelfand the twelve much series starts in moscow on friday as michael gove reports now it's been a whole twenty seven years since moscow last played host to such a high caliber chess event it's also the first time that it's being held in one of the world's largest art museums that set 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 k.'s and a totally karpov and getting caspar off but this is two eyes that will compete in

israel's boris gelfand versus india's vishwanathan anand they know each other well having played each other many times before. but many of raise the question of whether a man feels intimidated playing a player older than himself in a match of such importance i mean you go to a minor your it's not really you was being something like that. i would say it's just interesting to play someone completely from my generation. we we started playing each other you may. know many many you playing with him so but when he said to the board you're just playing on the. bars play 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 their push 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 a result in three weeks time for the event brought out a handful of prominent figures including former soviet union president mikhail gorbachev a kind of a covert 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 that i should just get. the fact that we are organizing a. world championship match there is no other information that. russia is reading just patient and. a new participant of this particular match even if that. holding a world championship match the independent. place the pen from the citizenship of where's the importance think about the match will last twenty days and end on the thirty first of may by which time of the world will know who the new undisputed chess champion will be zero and the small matter of who gets the lion's share of

the two point five five million dollar prize fund market. well that is all the sport for now you know it will be here in a little under two hours time join in then. question is that so much i'm afraid we're going to make a lot of the play here yeah but look at what is happening in here french voters appear to be moving to the left while priest is leaning hard to the right what is causing the collapse of the political scene.

fifty years. a thousand times. thirty years. commemorating. led.
