with your hands stop practice has been in place since two thousand and two but thankfully was finally recently found to be unconstitutional by a federal judge you know the fourth amendment all the talk about no unlawful search and seizure seems pretty clear to me why did this take so long to figure out bloomberg despite that silly constitution thing stands firm with this policy declaring if you end street stops looking for guns they will be more guns on the street and more people will be killed it's just that sam paul well to that i would say if you stop nazi style first kings of random innocent people there will be more freedom on the streets it's just that simple but that's just my opinion.

this is the best time to come here before opening hours to hear all this silence you can feel that the holes and everything in them are waiting for this day. i was about three years old or maybe less when i first came to the hermit task i remember the impression that everything here is alive but i'm in a sort of fairy tale and when i touched the feet of the atlantis i felt that they were alive and the only statues of ancient gods they seemed alive to me maybe they were just frozen in the moment but they were still living and probably still working some of their miracles.

you know i. just need to result in the star pierce near tears david that it will be and if you didn't with this. the hermitage as an international and. institution and it's famous worldwide people are yes very jealous that i get to have this opportunity to see what the most of the public wouldn't be able to see. i don't think too many people have ever seen me or even heard of me but i am one of the oldest guardians of the herman taj who knows what could have become of the exhibits if not for me and my friends all.

biota balance line is never late for work but she isn't an employee here at the hermitage or a good iona is a volunteer from england and we stand in the entrance we have seats healthy full and they're passing through t.v. and ten styles we have to tell them to take off the outdoor kading let the case in jackets and put them in the clay family and just on to any general questions that they may have about us and in museum about west finds not so guy. and excursion. in london iona studies russian culture different from russia recommended that she worked at the petersburg built into. the system of the first of yes and that's it to me is that it says a when the sea

is still fairly solid. and does up but at ninety m. yes it's. not totally fancy and some of us would die and uncle sam uncle escudo will be conservative lol. io know what's here for free she's one of one hundred fifty volunteers they all share in the visitors carry boxes arranged chairs where they needed to be whatever it takes to earn that prestigious title become a volunteer not everyone is worthy of the on a. just about five hours is what we expect from people if they really want to become fully fledged volunteers then we'll have a museum pass made for them. five hours

a week is the minimum that required this newcomer sunnah can find enough free time and she passes her probation period she will also become a volunteer at russia's grand museum. where you will be taking part in one of our grand events dharma taj camp day. instead of an interview i was taking by the hand and led to the basement where we're hanging peaches i have absolutely no idea what we're doing or what it is for but i see that it's all about the cats day of camp. which is. it's for the cats and this lets people realize underneath the heavens. catching mice very early through the day and. get in the way down is any of the precious life that they have. she's right no enemies down here i've been in the museum basement with my friends for

grown they're not set foot in this place they can sense danger from all four. volunteers. could you help. with the felicitous i think we need to fix this here. you don't need scissors and i'll show you. ok. so this is how we put our volunteers to work. on a becomes a volunteer will be miss arias decision came to the home of his one day to offer his own help. both of us in petersburg three hundred anniversary was approaching and i didn't want to be just an onlooker in two thousand and two i came to the hermitage to offer to organize a group of state hermitage volunteers our task was to find one hundred fifty people and select the most active ones who would be able to act in any unexpected

situation you have to remember that on the night of may twenty seventh when the hermitage was open all night it had the highest number of visitors there were many many pregnant ladies because a lot of them hope to have their child on this very day because there were special prizes offered like apartments for babies who were born on some petersburg's anniversary. indeed a few women did deliver their babies right here in the hermitage. so the volunteers had to be ready to do whatever was needed to react quickly and keep smiling while helping us to resolve all possible situations. but first the volunteers were not well received at the museum. veterans sort of the new generation wanted to take away their jobs after only a few years the stuff members became more friendly. money how are you.

first of all please. because. it's very important. it's. i will tell you a little bit. about comparing the rings in trees studying them can reveal a lot of information about the state of the environment the tree grew in and its age. francis infelicitous to work out how these. two have. put it out of the water. that it's so.

scary to do it wrong and. show any rings and it's easy. it's more useful to do it was. recently volunteers have begun taking photographs they also write descriptions measure ancient greeks found on the north coast. they've measured the whole sarcophagus as well as every tiny detail you can see the . so many decorative elements every single decoration needed to be measured photographed. most important is that each.

prospectus has. featured dozens of names of people who worked on the team here for over a year all of them were. really immersed in this fascinating process. santa is going through her own probation period she'll have to go through all this herself if she succeeds. her assignment is to help organize a game for the grand event can stay at the hermitage. camps are very important inhabitants the winter palace and the state hermitage. they've lived in the old winter palace since the times of peter the great when he brought the first cats from holland a bit later his daughter elizabeth just special de craye for cats to be bred in

what is now modern day tatarstan fifty cats were then brought from. since the seventeen forties those cats descendants have lived in the winter palace they've been provided with food in return for keeping the exhibits. we are also volunteers of sorts we work for food and that serena she is also a volunteer gives us food and medicine and takes care of us i don't quite understand why she doesn't. matter of course her name is suffolk called. if you pat her hair she's going to. and you're. right here. where often asked we can't you know a favorite book that was our favorite is the one that is the saddest the one who is sick at that moment we give them all the same love and care when they get well we

have another favorite who is less happy than the others. and with that you will hear little girl my beauty let's take a pill here's a good girl well done here we go. we now have sixty five cats at the hermitage that can sometimes reach eighty five there were times when we had one hundred twenty cats of course we try to make sure the number of the animals stays within a certain limit seven to is the maximum we can afford. and if there's more they'll be trouble. cat so selfish they like their own territory. and we don't have my so told we have so many cats but the money is just don't show up here there was a time when the cats were removed from the museum i don't know what happened but in

a month we lost half the library because rats ate everything they don't care much for the value of an exhibit even if it's a million dollars they'll still finish it off i know i have a cat at home and i'm starting to look a bit like a cat. i can now like a cat and my like a cat. my cat and it was good he does it like this. it meant that their mentor and she's my childhood fairy tale and when my parents would take me with you when you are here and forget which century it has to feel like your it has to i call it character but i remember when i was a child i always wanted to walk around and i stress it with a base current to where i had of course it was my dream to play a part in all of this is to help somehow to gain access to the archives.

this is a very important event both for visitors and volunteers we've been preparing for it all year it's an incredibly exciting celebration for the kids. wealthy british style. time to explain the. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to kaiser report on our. real damage and complexity of this oil

spill was not something you can grasp just by looking at dirty birds we have between four to five million people in this directly affected area of the coast and it's pretty clear why it's not being reported because b.p. can't afford to have a reported all along the gulf coast are clean they are safe and they're open for business if b.p. is the single largest. oil contributor to the pentagon the u.s. war machine is heavily reliant upon b.p. and their oil this is a huge step backwards for the marker see it's a step forward for oligarchy carex it is toxic is a look a lot like spray. it was it was not a picture that either the government or b.p. really wanted to have out there i don't want dispersants to be the age of. this oil spill.

hello i'm. not going to leave the game begins here this is the story today were fishing this is a map of the hematologist to help you find your way around this is where it begins

and this is a clue that you need to get to where you need to go. and about this is a quiz that needs to be answered if you get the answer to the question right you go to our person in a room and then you get another flyer and go to another room to see which of the boys need to pay attention to these kids here. just here you go. of course many of my friends my parents at first asked me why i said because i like it it's my hobby for quite a long time mom couldn't get used to me leaving early for the hermitage and coming home late now she's used to it the family's gotten used to it yeah she said the hermitage she's at home there and you can drag her out of there. usually comes to the museum before opening time and doesn't leave until god closes the main entrance on the tenth anniversary of the volunteer service friends jokes that they should give you a bed and should be able to spend the night there as well. i like it

maybe i would have been a housewife maybe i read a book maybe watch some t.v. but it's not that interesting it's boring i get bored very quickly so i came here first of all it's a museum there's always something interesting happening here their children today is the home of house cat day and the day involves a game we catch big fish and small fish such as the challenge is to find stories devoted to cats and fish. we've set up a few checkpoints in the hermit with volunteers post about them and that's where you see the guys all of them taking part in the quest they find the right picture the right story or piece of art the sounds of the questions and then move along the route that. you found a fish you found one so go wrong read that question see life two large fish glittering with scales it sits on

a low table the third one at the feet of the boy who is holding a bowl of succulent fruit and a basket of green roofs the bouyeri presents one of the summer months. of that. next question. next question. if your answer. was and. usually i mean like the way children's health positrons oh i'm helping them he still having time he guessed photon. you see that's very very funny. since. you know. we've been tested in a game and i'm. good at it seems like a great game it's really getting teligent both because they have set identified us back to it's not spot on they're all getting excited and jumping up and down and i

think they at i'm funny interesting as well say give them the fight. so that's it with them so this year's reward for all the participants was a trip to the theater where a musical performance was staged for them to use this because. i. did not know. a few years ago a portuguese writer worked with the children here in the same way he had decided to write a book about russia and came to work and. back then volunteers were often bankers who'd gone bust in the crisis children of people who worked in world famous museums . whose father is the louis director. he didn't mention who he was

a where he was from like everyone else he helped everywhere he helped a conference is he helped with evening events he helped if we had to meet guests or something he helped the department carry boxes folders and he always worked with us here he also talked to frank here in the department to anyone who wanted. along with everyone else student visitors questions and sometimes the most unexpected questions. some people think that they're at the russian museum and when they're told at the moment they're very surprised by where's the russian art where is that it they say you know one time for example a young man came up looking around the room asked where he was he was told you were in a museum. and he was still surprised his second question was which one exactly did this chinese tourists are an interesting but i've never found anything that

they find particularly interesting they see paintings hanging on the poles as just to corrections the same with floors and ceilings i even heard of one group of chinese tourists who turned down a trip to the hermitage because they said they'd already been to the over so they already knew what a music. it was like. in america everyone always talks about the from the ties to. the collection of old renaissance art and that's the most famous stuff that gets talked about in america and i of course want to see it and i also in america i study history and reading about. the revolution that was the same petersburg and that all the stuff that happened here through history and i got to see that all my first day here and i've

seen that many many times and i'm working. one of raymond's dreams is to join an expedition with just from the message over the summer museum staff conduct excavations in russia's regions and inflate everyone to take part. this is our expedition we've been doing it for fifty years now last year we celebrated the fiftieth anniversary and i have to say that many monuments have been discovered over those fifty years of excavation but we can still see that even more sites remain unknown usually archaeology department i've done translating work about different. archaeological excavations that people have done but signed the researchers are done and also i was doing some translating on renaissance art that's definitely been the most rewarding work because it's been interesting and it also helps me practice russians. the archaeology department is

for many volunteers one of the most interesting places in the museum. you can literally touch history. to draw these ancient objects which are from. different things that they found and i need to document this way as a. kilo. and you have to be very precise been doing these drawings it's not like normal and touring where you might miss out some things hey you need to every every mark is important for the. thing to be and to be behind the thing the hunted and to see the. good public feel the best research. which i would have no idea that there were so many selves themselves of all these different i. think most people wouldn't even. know about what was going on behind. sometimes thank the volunteers by giving them free tours for

example a tour is a new storage facility in the old village region. that was stored in the museum was once moved there but there's a million items. alone just being attentive that is russia's interest transfer in the second. so it's on sale. there was a visit by the turkish ambassador to st petersburg with diplomatic guess and one of those gifts is this tent it's all around us it's like we're inside the museum exhibit. this is only a fifth of it the rest is still rolled up and stored away the tent is way to launch because it covers about a hundred square meters. along with a new storage facility. will soon be offering a museum of modern art. this

building is the left wing of the general headquarters built by karl ross c. in the early nineteenth century before the revolution and the ministry of finance and the ministry of foreign affairs were here next year this grand reconstruction will end and will have one of the largest contemporary art museums. of the world in one of the two courtyards which have been rebuilt so far we can already see one of the first exhibits of the it's an installation created by the already famous russian artist. who. they created this immediately after the collapse of the soviet union. and this installation. it represents the emergence and growth of the soviet union and its collapse was it. not some did it

actually yes this isn't just a dead body left behind it's part of the installation. we lived through constant construction during communism was so therefore this part probably just represents the continuing construction there is still many things they haven't seen the herrmann towers but i think one day they'll catch up and join in other events. maybe one day you'll pass something. bank my god i did that i glued this test says oh boy you painted over that crack over there it's this involvement was our breath and if you pass by you see it and realize you have something to do with it as while you're also part of history part of the museum part of those accidents. acts on a is now all the interior of the habitat and elena it's not up to six years of

selfless support to the museum she's been offered a job. but even so elena still volunteers at the end of her working day she hurries to meet the visitors with a smile. modern russia was built on coal. fuel for its factories. coke for its steel whom are cold as it was and heat for its people.
