1:33 am
we just went to the nearest crossroads. with twenty five or thirty kids the whole group back with us. around on the route. you know one overtakes me. yet it was the first seventy kilometers. gently climbing up the hill. was a mountain passes are waiting. well turn you into men. right in pairs. i'm a musician and i've never cycled before but here i am. it was so hard my legs felt like they'd fall off my bike was about to collapse on the asphalt but thank god i got a second wind. we do it so russia will be with us we tell our own
1:34 am
stories we were orphans ourselves even drug addicts we lived in basements but people took us in and we changed there's nothing scary about it you see we're normal healthy people. always had a dreadful smell the stench of homeless children. simply beyond description when we took those filthy teenagers from the basement. people who. died in it. it's ok everything's fine. special. he's one of the first guys who came to the republic of pilgrims. just. to change to eat as far as i remember. last year i came to the pilgrims when i was twelve i lived on the street since i was six
1:35 am
right where we are now. i spent nights in basements i saw drug addicts and even sniff glue. believe. me if they had. come to our basement about time to feed us i think i would be in prison just like so many of my friends is you know. my life has changed completely at the very least i'm alive i'm studying at the conservatory now playing music which is what i like.
1:36 am
in the orphanage thirty nine times i felt nobody needed me there. my dad i. know my mother is train king. in my life but i want to become a champion. corbier with who's my first rival me. that much and you get a bottle of cola just that. you know. this guy is serious what do you think doesn't matter that he's short he's serious al you got me . getting his prize. joking aside. having a boxing match with the president of the republic of formerly homeless pilgrims who had to thankless task. he got me three times in the jaw.
1:37 am
once in the eye. you know every member had first we talked to the homeless children and drug addicts. we urge them to come with us to change their lives to stop them from killing themselves. after burying yet another boy i just said. i'm not just talking to the kids in basements on the streets anymore. if it's a homeless child we just take him with us we know. that we waged war on drug dealers we kicked up a fuss in the city we started picketing places where they dealt drugs. obviously there was intimidation they threatened to kill me. right here under this window thousands of boys and girls ended their lives with a fatal dose. when i found him in the basement he never stop swearing. he said don't touch me just let me die he was
1:38 am
stinking filthy his legs and arms were twisted and he couldn't walk. he was so damp all over they just ran down your neck because he had to be carried out. we cleaned him up and after three weeks we took him with some of the other pilgrims to a children's camp. the boys then put him on a chair and bathed him in the sea. that day when the sun was setting he called me and said. forgive me i'm an idiot i just didn't listen to you. my fellow pilgrims. congratulations season is now. here we're going to beat the world record. for how many people. you can fit. into one boat. the last one is an elephant called the
1:39 am
pastor. i didn't think i'd become an adoptive father. but as my life became intertwined with this i began to treat them like my own. when you take a child save him from drug abuse wipe from his face and help to rehabilitate him it's quite impossible to say to him go back to the orphanage especially if you know the boys escaped from there a hundred times so we began adopting the children we took that another and yet more again. the first adopted son first when we were out walking he panicked even if he let him go alone for just a short distance but now he can walk freely and he says to me dad i feel the strength inside. about.
1:40 am
the best compliment is he grew up in a saddle. i can say that about my guys but oh as. they grew up in the bike settle their fight of. how did you become my real son yes i never changed your diapers did i. my dad is probably the kindest soul in the world whenever you come up to him his eyes are so kind you see his heart even if he's tired he can't abandon a child he knows that they wouldn't survive so he endures to the end. as a special case the first time he was seen on the street he was just two and a half years old he couldn't talk yet. when we asked where he lived he just pointed
1:41 am
to a rubbish dump. they lived in a metal container even in the freezing cold huddled in rugs like mice. well. you go begging jealous of people i go to the dump in the morning to find something to eat to steal or beg for food at the market and i see children going to school with their parents it hurt to see that a lot is a lot. to go through forty chips of blue a day in the cold said he'd committed four robberies a night if you multiply that by the time he spent on the streets i can't imagine how many robberies he committed. and then when you you get high from the glue and you go stealing and looting you need money to buy vodka beer. i'd already been arrested. waiting for the trial and dad took me into
1:42 am
a room and said listen nicholai your mother has died you can go either to the orphanage or to me. it was for that i didn't think it would last too long because he was utterly beyond control he went hysterical and ran off but gradually the boy comes down today i'm sure that he's one of the most promising guys here he's very talented. he talks even more than that don't you from shrek that little donkey has got nothing compared to nicholai. kids is the thing i want to become an actor and playing comedies i like comedies a lot i've got everything i need now i've got a childhood i'd love and people just pat me just stroking me on my head or back because when i was little my mom was busy and she had no time to do it i don't know why maybe because she drank.
1:43 am

economy in the kaiser report on. my children make me very happy. all i have to do is just to look at my little eagles and myself feel good. just recently i saw one of my sons who's sixteen sleeping with his arms around a teddy bear and mickey mouse. tears came to my eyes. through this boy spent his childhood banking. and money for his parents which they just spent on drink. it's a great joy for me that i can give them a childhood. to get fire brigade good morning to you little rabbits. your new day begins has some questions in store for you i hope you can accept the
1:46 am
challenge. to get. i grew up in a family of alcoholics or i was afraid to go home because i feared finding my parents had killed each other in a drunken fight. maybe that's why it's easy for me to understand my adopted sons whose own parents were also alcoholics or drug addicts. ok dad. remember the rule slowly slowly gently pour it all right dad. i think. it's a miracle for me. i don't know what i would do if it weren't for this family i would have been dead now or would have been living on the streets. well i spent the first nights on the roof sometimes i had to go to the train station to spend the
1:47 am
nights in the winter and i was little i pressed hard against the radiator stuff like that that i loaded watermelons at the markets well i own money i brought watermelons and some food to my house knocked on the door and run off i was afraid my father would beat me for that. then my mum died right on women's day i wanted to congratulate her and afterwards my dad came to see me. i was eleven when they were gone it's been five years since. i want to have a family. i want to couple of kids of my own and adopt three or four children. the ones you did i'd find cyclists with a figure like mine they're all lean like but done. when we go up the hill i have my
1:48 am
tongue on my shoulder he's just smiling is coming. well i can see it coming he'll be having fun while his dad's half dead but you always do what does let me go ahead all right go ahead son. then i look at him go. back and become closer to our dream little by little we don't pay attention to roads or nature of with pedaling to achieve our goal. we went past one village and right after we left it three children were adopted after we told them our stories. we savor the children by showing off who we are. not long ago we took a new boy into our family he's my thirty second adopted son he's eight my own son is five but they look alike. so my son came up to me and said something that made
1:49 am
me burst into tears instantly. he said daddy mommy i understand that. i have to share my mommy and daddy with him it's my son's five he's living in his own little world and he's already so selfless it's fantastic. when we adopted our first children our friends were in shock they thought we would get tired and give up that we would fail because it's very hard and would come back to a normal life but these friends adopt children now. the boys are human and not yours yeah you're mine no you're mine. oh yeah you know it. was you know he doesn't get it yet you still knew. he's number thirty two when i put that label on you have on the air on the back i can't remember where it is. they wanted to take him to the orphanage. in the head
1:50 am
of the orphanage wanted to do it once but i said no he's got a brother. but our mother died after a second bout of pneumonia i'm his brother so i had the right to take him with me we fought for him and we won. like he's crying because of mom. maybe god wanted to take our mother and it so happened that he came to us i can bring him up here so he doesn't repeat my mistakes. which. he. let everybody see. around with passing around to everyone that's it was the. money in the preview
1:51 am
there in a highway. in the marina found her brother. then she learned that she had one mo brother two she was looking for one and she found a whole platoon. we were small when they separated us she was adopted when she was eight they took her to italy. i was hanging out on a russian social network and a friend request popped up i looked at her photos and i saw at once that it was my sister dad didn't believe me at first but i showed him the photos and said look the nose the teeth the hair everything is like mine we're like them we called via skype and we talked i cried like a baby simply out of happiness i always remembered her i'd been looking for her. you have to do you know any poems in italian. he said now do you think. she should. what is merely
1:52 am
a round of applause cool. dream can be summed up in just a few words russia and the world with no orphans. we don't want any children to wake up in orphanages. we firmly believe that our parents out. russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov is talking about the syrian crisis during an address to students at moscow state university of international relations let's turn and. look at it in perspective. as.
1:53 am
well. syria. the intention was to start a military action against these two countries. justified by the fact that. it was alleged that the rock the chemical weapon was sold weapons of mass destruction to these countries but of course these are more complex issues as i said in my opening remarks in. the formation of a more. just world order a. whole world which is based on the wisdom and the values of all civilizations and not just one but these developments are very painful. and. those who. lose. they responded in different
1:54 am
ways that you can come to terms with this. something which is granted because you cannot any significant impact over it because the world's developing changing you you can cling to the past. that. we have some people who warn. you retain this just world war and the war in two. years these. destructive processes are underway talking of the middle east we're seeing. double standards. we see that. when people change specific totalitarian leader. but there are also harder to turn readers who are allied with for our western partners and
1:55 am
the west doesn't intend to topple them. and. stronger to talk about democratic changes to use this slogan as a pretext. of course we see that some countries are pursuing democratic changes in some countries but this slogan is just used to change the regime. and then they will use other methods of governance our position is simple we convinced that every nation has the right to a better life. and if the majority of the people in the middle east and the north. africa want to leave a better life if the already to prove their economy if they want to have better access to education and today there are riots in the political system they want
1:56 am
changes in these aspirations have to be. but we shouldn't do it. in order to in saudis then to change the regime for it by force we need to engage national dialogue we need to convince the regime. it's in their interests to start this reconciliation dialogue. to start working on a new model of a political system which will help to preserve the unity of the country which will . help it. i stay on the international arena. when we talk of libya for example. to impose democracy. and
1:57 am
a no fly zone then democracy. degraded into a cynical. use a variation aine. an internal conflict. on the side of the forces that opposed as you. spoke of and actually we saw. a situation when. he was obviously destroyed with the help of nato forces i'm talking about standards and when it appears and we. believe it starts to spread. it's a. bully and we saw militants. as well which can do anything. because they are members of extremist terrorist organisations they
1:58 am
always need a new war to topple somebody. into the un estimates. of . illegal weapons. proliferation of firearms. usually from libya. happened twelve countries. you might have heard of us. we saw. and in the north terrorist organizations wanted to set up their own independent states and. wanted more sovereignty more independence. for the north of mali. so when the french are wrong. in their forces. to fight against the terrorists. the
1:59 am
french still fighting against those who they supported in libya. so when i told about this. when i tell about this my french. colleagues they say this is a lifestyle or leave with strong you know. distinguishing good or bad terrorists it means if they helped topple gadhafi the good work later in mali they're bad it's not professional it's so easy it's shortsightedness talking of syria of course the syrian regime has made a lot of mistakes. and a half years ago they should have started the. reconciliation. and we proposed it. and we are in our assistance and we've convinced. the regime to hold the arab league initiative you dave.
2:00 am
approved of a mission we've convinced. mr acid's. government. that made. the. inspectors prove coffee under this plan. every time the mandate was canceled we were also the organizers of the geneva conference. we saw a communique coming out of it and everyone says that this is the bible the blueprint for the geneva settlements we've been talking about the geneva two conference. and as we. agreed we've. convinced. mr r. sounded who said she was ready to send.
