taxi driver. can't afford anything so expensive years of war ruined his livelihood. bomb fell on his apartment building destroying several floors. but somehow it remained standing. after returning from war built it along with his neighbors. the first three floors were totally destroyed. the lower part. polis it has been completely destroyed now it's a good building like the way it was. thought i'd see it like this. an estimate this isn't the cast of a hollywood film but the list of gas at the hotel groceries city. hotel in the

caucuses was assessed by an expert commission and given a five star rating. this building was opened to the world by a host of international showbiz celebrities. along with russian politicians circus acrobats and fireworks. the. hotel employee fatima never dreamed of seeing so many celebrities let alone and. everyone thought of the republic is a region of conflict. in this presidential suite. but quality is in line with international standards. he turned out to be a very friendly person he wasn't showing off or acting like us some superstar so

that he chatted to the hotel staff. to get there with us indeed he was a very talkative person. tourism isn't the only growth industry in chechnya there's also show business right now the next chechen hit is being recorded in this studio and he said how do you translate the first line it's a great chance now right i need you to tear it from your heart and let it go so the listener will understand what you're saying even if he doesn't know. the chichen language i want to do with a smile let's go. originally planned to come to church for just two weeks but ended up staying much longer after

being invited to work with young talent. he has worked with moscow popstars and while many songs from the capital are outrageous the chechen voice is renowned for its purity you how did confucius put it if you are in the company of blind people here's your own i behave however the people around you behave in a dump herself to the customs of the places you visit. russia needs laws like the laws here married young woman should not touch other man another man must not touch my woman more if it was like maybe all this depravity we have now and the lack of discipline would perhaps not have happened.

you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought. welcome to the big picture. a clear image of iraq after inflation. twenty day taxi trip through the country. the roads are full of dangerous. clear evidence from north to south. the roots of iraqi tragedy. after the war waiting for peace. taxi on r.t.e.

the music of an international airport in the very heart of moscow. on but this is how the birth of the prophet muhammad is celebrated in chechnya. i am certain drugs uncrowded off chechnya a secular leader is also present no religious event takes place without him. i have. this islamic leaders from india kuwait saudi arabia the united arab emirates and bus train them to visit cut off. was a few years ago i was known worldwide as

a mutinous republic was today chechnya is a russian region striving to become a focal point for the muslim world was . the republic of chechnya or is this. with everything out of this is russia this is chechnya. grozny is simply a beautiful city. one should give credit to the republic the. nation which was united around its president its king. i think there is nothing unusual in this.

competition has come to an end and i have tried to splay into the participants the dance 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 on some will vie no rehearsals to showcase the chechen nation's image. at first sight it looks like a regular performance but even here the dunces must observe strict islamic and. the men must not on. any circumstances touch the women not even their clothes. recently. criticized the dancers 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 rate. orms 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. i didn't eat with my father he

had eight children but none of us joined him. 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 salmond joins them for dinner itself is him the head of the table. it's the been 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. 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 each kindergarten has its own teacher responsible for religious education. often has also visits to reprint as with the children. loaded little over. a little over. a load of clothes. we live according to the law and according to islamic schools the islam spit on the nation of 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 in public especially if she is married. many young women are not allowed to enter the modeling school. more you can 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 church and 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 rooms. all clothes have to be below the knee and the head has to be covered with a head scarf over the. i used to practice judaism when she lived in kazakstan then she married a church in 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 when as in this club is for women only men are. 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 chechen woman than family. if a husband doesn't like something if he prohibits his wife from working she will of course be a tell men to keep it in. 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 headscarf 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 all our own culture and besides we know it's the twenty first century. this is not something new for us nothing

surprising so much the girls need to be to the biggest project in the history of chechnya an ice rink sports center is 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 the situation 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. after

a busy day drives home through the city. to be seen. as falling from the sky. or returning to the city and tourists visit to. good living. people. the city.

is truly. quite literally. fifty. and of course. it's not a particularly profitable business he had. to settle his debts. the city. the work is

a business and i custom is my business. never leave this basement. and have no idea what's going on in the city. i'm in the business. music and the cool of the ways and luxury and glamour in the islamic tradition. skyscrapers shopping centers and mosques all side by side symbols of a modern uniting be incompatible. let them go and that was our program for the evening i've been your host. 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 to. keep breathing and that concludes our programs i've been your host. thank you and goodbye. live.
