next moscow out team takes you to all the spectacular locations are all around the kremlin or the iconic areas of the russian capital moscow out right now. 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 at museum and the capital has certainly seen its simone's truest times over the past few hundred years 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 kremlin you can spend hours gazing at the various sites here. 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 of. the street with red square immediately east of the kremlin built in one hundred thirty seven the bridge has a total of forty meters aides call lanes. with approach is five hundred and fifty four meters. is pretty extreme on the left of the 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 good building built between eighteen nineteen eighty and 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. 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 spot quest why is a question for the court. 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 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 and goes need 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.

may stop we take a brief to the top left hand side of the kremlin for many years the splendid palace of white stone the stands on the concourse ski hill has amazed people and this. considered to be one of the most peaceful buildings in the russian capital the situation of the building is rather unorthodox too since the main entrance is from the side street and not from the facade which you can see here. 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. coffin interesting enough it was also used as a meeting place for various characters. a margarita very striking building 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 right historic ground. just shook this room. you can imagine the space being used for large parties instead it was used. for 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 silly but 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 mosque a 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 maps department of the russian state library. it's rather strange to hold

a book which is hundreds of years old. crypts he is in great condition i wonder what people. held it before me. 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. as it's known russian is a contemporary central exhibition hall the venue houses dozens of various displays and interests me enough the building was not meant as a cultural venue in the first place in eight hundred eighty eight the structure was arrested 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 to need to travel further from the city center as well as moscow's oldest and largest design museum is located just a short walk from the 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 grow 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 while 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 old university building the main 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. 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 the glyn 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 fuel cells how the city's changing cityscape came into effect the museum opened in ninety nine to seven and was located seven meters underground on the exact spot where laws. took place during the mid ninety's 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 eighteenth much 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 want to. during mannish square not many people realize that they are walking on top of a museum but nevertheless venue is popular and there are even more visitors during weekends when we have experienced interactive educational events. whether it is through its beauty all grotesqueness may be up for debate but what comedy tonight is that moscow inspires and has done for hundreds of years as a city almost eight hundred seventy years old mosco has many reminders of extra magic passed and for visitors and even locals it's quite often the small and intricate sights and locations that make up the cultural thread one of the city. yes the kremlin might be the powerhouse and provide the fabulous photo opportunities but it's also the areas around command mogs which also hold by two

stories to the make up of the city. while 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 saved lots of various and stayman spots around here so until then for me and the rest the same from allies square here about.

efforts and really to get big match experience because he's on the bench for so long at everton but really i mean he's been hampered by a few injuries. i spoke to him about a month ago he was still hopeful of making the squad but i've accounts has decided not to go for. me to be in ski who's got a memorable goal against benevolence four years ago of the european championships he's been left out as well that's a bit of a surprise as well but again he's been hampered by major injury problems let's suddenly you know it's not too predictable what advocates gone for mainly going on experience a lot of the names that were in austria and switzerland four years ago may because again i'm just speaking about four years ago they got to the semifinals of euro two thousand ad that was a massive surprise because the school the class of two thousand and twelve emulate them well i think we've got a fairly straightforward group so we shouldn't have too many problems getting out about but i'm going to russia so we never know what might happen obviously the quarter finals can be tough possibly facing germany or benevolence but a lot is going to hinge obviously on under the shah in his forms really picked up

since he left ass and we've had a really and might. first of the season when he was in london but it's films that as i said picked up a bit as he moved to some petersburg to play for those in need but it's actually fun for the national side has been pretty good even in the autumn when he was having those massive struggles in the emirates stadium that i think is going to be all about a shot in very good players very underrated players like you could nice of. of both players who needs really start of a champions league but because they're playing a full in russia perhaps not as well known as they would be if they were playing. elsewhere in europe and i think they really could spring a surprise for me when russia kick off the euro two thousand and twelve campaign against the czech republic yeah i'll just note that there are twenty six men in the squad it will be trimmed under twenty three by the end of the and if i'm not mistaken richard thank you very much focused on. ok let's move on to controversy on the tennis courts were too rough feel the dallas threatened not to return to the
