sticky you can see it start to become much more powdery down the line there's still a lot of snow out near a place for snowball fight. piece and it is going to pretty incredible day there and even record snowfall throughout much of it like. three drugs in some emergency . more news today says once again flared up. these are the images cold world has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing corporations are on the day.

this is how the birth of the prophet muhammad is celebrated in chechnya. her that her. son cut off secular leader is also present no religious event takes place without him. that i'm missing. from india kuwait saudi arabia the united arab emirates and bus train them to visit cut it off i was a few years ago i was known worldwide as a war torn and mutinous republic was today chechnya is a russian region striving to become a focal point for the muslim world i

was. at the republic of chechnya is this if the modern islamic republic did with everything out of this is russia this is. grozny is simply a beautiful city. one should give credit to the republic the inflator and our nation which was united around its president its king. whatever you call it. that will be i think there is nothing unusual in this. let's put the line knockdowns competition has come to an end. try to throw into the

participants. is full and deep meaning that everything is important from the movements to the dancers expressions. following tradition has become a national project for. the national. to showcase the chechen nation's image. at first sight it looks like a regular performance but even here the dances must observe strict islamic and. the men must not under any circumstances touch the women not even their clothes. recently. criticized the dunces for not following tradition the women looked into the eyes of young men as well as highlighting their figures by raising their arms to.

dances with the man she must not raise her arms above her shoulders. she does not have this right. arms always dominate over the woman this is an important detail. following the war. found religion he sold his apartment to put the money towards building a house overlooking a mosque on the outskirts of grozny when he comes home from work his wife makes a traditional delicacy. at the family table tradition dominates everything so. i didn't eat with my. children but none of us joined. states.

she is a type of dumpling served with meat. is sour allows his sons and younger daughter to join him at the table but his wife and older daughter dine separately. when his son's older brother solomon joins them for dinner it's office him the head of the table. it's forbidden even to smoke in the presence of elders regardless of their age twenty years or sixty. you have to respect your elders if one does not respect their elders there will be neither order nor peace at home thank you kyra. from an early age children learn the islamic way of life they pray before eating and pray before going to sleep. by the age of four they know how

a real chechen man and woman should look. at it. each kindergarten has its own teacher responsible for religious education. often also visits to reprint as with the children. load little over. a load. of clothes. we leave according to the law and according to islamic schools the islam spin and if the islam is first of course we have muslims on public religious law first and. second if you. buy the lore the russian federation may have proud of his.

in the world of fashion the dress code is even more strict at this church in modeling schools where women are taught about the catwalk passout go into modeling is not a highly regarded profession in chechnya as it is in european russia a young woman is not supposed to display her beauty and public especially if she is married. many young women are not allowed to enter the modeling school. i do see that your legs are tired your backs are tired and you are very hungry but you have to work it is difficult to be a model it is not about putting on a beautiful dress and going to the store to buy sausages. world fashion centers like paris and milan have shown interest in chechen models but unmarried women cannot even leave the country by themselves and there are strict limits when it comes to wearing european clothes. we cannot wear a swimsuit model cannot go on the catwalk in

a swimsuit we have our own rules. all clothes have to be below the knee and the head has to be covered with a headscarf. i used to practice judaism when she lived in kazakhstan then she married a chechen man converted to islam and came to work in chechnya. now she wears a similar to a job she manages the modeling school which is based in one of the most prestigious beauty salons. it's well equipped including a spa and fitness center everything a model needs on us in this club is for women only men are for. always dreamed of becoming a model when she was a child now she's twenty one. when she gets married she'll have to forget all about the catwalk there's nothing more important to a church and woman than family. if

a husband doesn't like something if he prohibits his wife from working she will of course be a tellme and keep it in. a fabulous. next month she'll appear on the front cover of a fashion magazine. but the fashion shoot is a modest event with no extravagance. a head scarf is a must dress is a loose fit and down to the heel and. restrained. we don't trying to be like you like the west we have culture and besides we know it's the twenty first century this is not something new for us nothing surprising some was a new study to the biggest project in the history of chechnya. an ice rink sport centers

cinemas offices and more in other words a city within a city. prefers not to bring his family to this shopping and entertainment center there are too many temptations. when the city was in ruins they have to shop elsewhere but now has reversed every one of the caucuses flocks to chechnya fashion boutiques cinemas. and many other attractions a rule here. and now we should hear. they're shooting range was different before. it was natural. now it's a game. now

refugees are returning to the city and tourists visit too which means a good living for taxi drivers. off. a lot of people going here many people don't recognize the city. even those who used to live here. said.

the music scene is truly underground quite literally in this basement all the musicians are veterans they're all over fifty. blues brothers but plays host to the music of. deep purple led zeppelin and of course pink floyd. it's not a particularly profitable business he had to sell a unique vinyl collection of classic rock to settle his debts. the rhythm of the city becomes ethnically diverse in the work as a business with his business. never leave his basement. and

have no idea what's going on in the city. business. rock music and the cool of the ways in luxury and glamour in the islamic tradition . skyscrapers shopping centers and. mosques all side by side symbols of the most. uniting be incompatible. let them go and that was our program for the evening i've been your host milan we wish you all the best and hope to see you next time fix your head scarf the scarf what's wrong with it. look at camera two. again yeah keep reading and that concludes our programs i've been your host milan and i have
