competition of peace and of friendship. but he has come to russia. there are many marks the start of the longest toss relay in a limb take a street the same boy it's great there's so many people have turned out to the start of the russian relay it looks like a lot of fun out there. in a minute. but it was. the stone i picked up in and it was on my mantelpiece and if that isn't a sign i don't know what it is. i knew i had to get down to red square and experienced atmosphere for myself fortunately they were having a two day event. so from sunny greece to rather soggy moscow just at the very start of the torch is journey around the whole of russia i'm excited. the

days first run there was paralympic star alessio bloody who picks up two gold medals in the beijing and london games. he's still a big gold medalist is still something special for you. of course it's a unique feeling because i had never carried dorsch before i had first i ran with a quite easily then i felt he was becoming heavier and heavier but i was determined to carry it properly and show it to everyone so that they could all appreciate the moment. and the crowd's reaction word factious i missed out on going to my home games in london and i was determined not to let such a twenty four team passed me by there were fourteen thousand torchbearers slots up for grabs one of them was going to be mine. when we were making the technical order for the factory we say look let's make

a thing we want to who. you're whole and also desirable should be like wow. a lot of questions where are. weight it's quite heavy we have to take all the cover and the middle that out by the machine extra weight of the aluminum so it's really fine. is the feather feather over the period of burton firebird in the russian. stories and fairy tales and to get this feather from the firebird is

a super challenge for the guild. the problem can be when do we go underneath here and it just caused the fire but in this kid we have a special need wiring inside which melted and of like really a red color. and it's the fire so basically it's a rift fire in itself. i was going to have to wait a while before i found out if i'd been picked as a torch bearer more than enough time to try and learn

a little more about my mysterious stone. some of russia's most eminent geologists live in. the center of russia's diamond industry on the rocks down here in the most expensive in the country. the pits descends. and uses the most sophisticated drilling equipment on the market to get to the precious. once the stones have been taken to assaulting sense and closely examined each rough gem is appraised and valued and i had a close family focused on my precious stone too. must be some kind of. you have you. there i can see small crystals

here proving that it's ancient rock. movement but really it shouldn't light up should it was amiss and. know it's false but it's luminescent as from you. ok maybe you could make it luminescent if you really believed it right thank you did you really expect it to glow. maybe maybe i'm just not right. there's certainly something very special about this and this ground i don't know but it might just be because they use to pulling glittering thing this out of the dark here. but who wants minis diamonds with the top attraction in turn it was time to head towards the city's most well known landmark where they

were getting ready to welcome some very special guests. from old forty years these huge realized trucks from one of the most famous symbols in the acute year carrying the region's diamonds from its quarries and factories and now. it's getting ready for its most important passenger ever. it might have been close to minus forty celsius but these are limping torches and torch bearer is made of stern stuff . this huge quarry has been the frozen heartbeat of the city for more than fifty years producing more than seventeen billion dollars diamonds my stone it meant i was here to watch the parade but what was i supposed to do next. great shot. lives

so where two mates went. and again show me the and. by carlo. choice. they can be few more famous natural landmarks in russia than lake baikal the oldest and deepest lake on the planet and the site of a very special olympic celebration. for the first time ever they're planning to light the olympic flame on the water over me in this case your average tool which isn't going to cut it so special equipment is required and special people to carry it and who better than the local rescue ranger. are professional activity is mostly dedicated to

rescuing people on lake baikal our job is important difficult interesting and in a way romantic my cow has many faces and winter it's tough and in summer it's beautiful you can't help but admire its power it attracts you and it's very important to me because it's a jewel of russia. everything's ready let's go then as nicholas puts the final touches to his equipment the excitement begins to build along the water's edge. rallies have been warmly welcomed across the country but the crowds here are about to witness something that's never been done before. and there's plenty of local show own hands went to tame them while they wait. a

massive noise and color to cheer the torch bearers on. this torch is based on a special system there is a pirate technique charge that can burn at any depth in any temperature and under any circumstances. when it's under water it's like a second sun the flame literally illuminates the entire lake. autumn when you curious you can feel its enormous power. of the water temperature is four degrees celsius it's really freezing we could feel it on our uncovered faces but we were united by this flame that had absorbed the energy of the entire country of every single person who cares about the flame that was what united us and that's why everything went perfectly.

as i walked three miles on the water you could almost feel the crowds energy coming across the waves it had been another remarkable spectacle for this record breaking tool. i was wondering what could possibly top it. looks like the right track. so well but. millions around the globe struggle with hunger each day. what if someone offers a lifetime food supply no charge. they can they're very strong against g.m.o. and we think that's. the. priest.

there is no. evidence that there is any problem with genetic engineering when you make a deal. or is free cheese always in a mousetrap. as a new physician i swear to abide by the hippocratic oath. to the best of my

ability and judgment. i will prescribe for the good of my patients. i will not give deadly doses to anybody. or advise others to do so. i will never do harm to. doctors of the docks on october. right from the sea. the first trip. and i think the church. on a recorder splitter. and instrument. to be in the know. on mom.

moved from one ship to another but what a ship. i was on board the ice breaker fifty years of victory the pride of the russian nuclear fleet for a truly once in a lifetime experience. deliberate flame was traveling to the north pole i was going with. it my stone was telling me to follow the flame i was going to take it as far as i could. see hundred nautical miles of stock a beautiful ocean lay between us and the top of the world. well just in case she didn't actually believe we were going to the north pole i think that eliminates any doubt. it's another historic first for the sochi torch and a relay around. ship was planned for the occasion. and you can learn so many new things but if you get the chance to test your own as well as the crew's experience

and check what the ice breaker is really capable of. i mean this tour of the olympic torch to the north pole never before has a surface ship gone this so late in the season were that the ice was much heavier and to cope with it we almost needed the ice breakers maximum power. we were making incredible progress slicing through the thick polar ice like. after only four days we were already near our destination that's a world record pace. let you ninety degrees north absent some of the world. ah.

once the champagne had been finished everything kicked into gear the torch bearers went off to get ready and organizing committee began making preparations for the relay and we love the one on the other one and. tried to hold it the right way. right but one. with everyone in position we were ready to go and our captain was given the owner of starting off the run my main task was to keep the torch warm and make sure it goes into pat's hand in time and just seconds later she was away and i was on collection she said. i think that's when we now. thank you very much yes i got it they can look off the list. i wasn't good. yes go through it most of it. no if.

we stepped off the ship and on to the ice the torches glowed flickering through the pitch black hole in the lights. a pioneering survey of polar explorer onto a chilling goal of would ignite the culture of the most northerly place on the planet. it's not often you get witness a moment in history this is the first time the olympic flame is ever been at the north pole. and i'm here to see it. from as far north as it's possible to go it was time to head east with the olympic organizing committee . the flame the ip that is has its own security team at all times not to mention its own private jet. blue got this special service we've got the

plane cooper which is just responsible for the security of torchbearer and the plane they keep the plane little downtime the welsh were on this special food bill you know that all of these flamed will never go up. each city's greasing ceremony is unique and hundreds of volunteers helped make the occasion memorable. there's a possibility also to keep the security for the torchbearer you know and then nobody will harm me nobody will get this fish bowl place just. because he's just a flame and it's very dangerous for everybody. this is come chopped a volcanic peninsula that's one of the most easterly places in russia. that is the

highest so that you don't burn yourself when you torch is lit or going. for the boot fortune never talks to the flaming torch bearer in russian because you never. everybody every had an inhabitant of the cities just very proud that comes to his cd and i think that. three of. it was the end of another relay and i was in one of the most beautiful places in the country on the shores of the pacific itself but i was beginning to lose patience. i've come to the end of. what's. what do you want. where am i to go.

i literally run the house of land. but the torch would move all over the mountains across the sea. even the most of this world. we live. in yes another historic moment it paid a visit to the international space station. more than four hundred kilometers above the planet. and all those safety reasons made lysias on board a heavily fueled rockets over all the bad idea the world's first olympic space walk

was no problem. back down to i was getting some inspiration of my. yes. i've come so far with the torch i was going to have to see it through to the end but what so many different people in relays all over russia and even beyond now i was going to have my own moments with the symbol of the sochi games i was in to follow in the south of the country in under two hours i was going to be a torch bearer. for. the full uniform. because. it was time to suit up and pick up the most vital piece of equipment. i think. let's make. the stimulus are up to their english

training thank you. at last. more than two hundred of us would be running through the streets and the excitement was already beginning to build there was just time for a few tips on how to make the most of the moment. smile and wave your hand then they put out my torch and i stepped back and i'm not there anymore it's your turn you start and i begin the car that will be filming us starts to move up and we run towards it ok go to. the russians or. none of us could wait to get started on the pulse he was in full swing as we moved through the city thousands of people had turned out to cheer us all and watch the

parade and we even had a few guests from the north pole putting in an appearance. we were dropping off people every two hundred meters so i just had a few minutes to. it's you know my neighbor cotton mill. you can really imagine how exciting it is. i'm looking forward to the moment when the whole country will see me it was. honestly i can't believe it. did school was just really freezing today isn't it. planned so let's meet our church. as i wave to the crowd i hadn't expected to be so nervous my whole epic journey had led to this moment and as i waited for the number one million three to post me the flame all i could think of was for goodness sake don't drop it. by.

the dream come true i missed. london twenty games i never thought of the gods to be part of another game and now i'm the only person in the world going to play with this moment. i am. i think i finally understand that. i'm going to little further to go on with this tour. i was with it when it was for the very first time in a limpia increase it went deep underground into diamond mines. i was with it when it plunged into the waters of lake baikal and i was with it when the winds by

president of the very top of the world and then it went. to the international space station. to believe. if you could combine. a. base metal into gold this tool which of those elements even a fifth element the quintessence from space itself. i believe this tool has the energy to help you win gold in sochi. russia.

now the power is now. there is so little self reflection on the part of both the american public and american decision makers i wonder why is that. country of three hundred fifty million people. sore. from the world by two large oceans. of foreign policy is something we do to other people. but something we participate in.

u.s. president barack obama's public opinion ratings are in the doldrums to make finishes days in office as one of the country's worst in least effective presidents how do story ends and the public to determine the success or failure of an american president and why are some presidents rehabilitated years or even for decades after they leave office. millions around the globe struggle with hunger each. what if someone offers a lifetime food supply no charge. against g.m.o. and we think that. there is no. evidence that there is any problem with genetic engineering when

you make a deal. or is free cheese always in the most trash. free . trade is profit not. these golden rice hard. keep players. legislation . i've played.

the lead . live. a listen they come up very hard to take that live a clubhouse that has sex with the perfect hair live a play. sports.

lists plug the possible. on june sixteenth one thousand forty one we had a graduation party at school and the war broke out. the shops were always full of good. in september

grad was blocked. one day mom went to sort out all the shelves were empty. in november the. warehouses it was the main storage place for all the food in the city people would be eating the earth because it had small traces of sugar in it i tried to eat it as well but i couldn't. move. incredibly heavy bombing. it was a direct very shelter and everyone was buried under me. all of them were dead.

russian officials adventure behind the barbed wire at america's notorious. prison where more than a dozen detainees are reportedly being made an ongoing hunger strike. ok i was turning syria into an emerging drugs hey then we reported the country has become a major production inside one potent stimulant. in the space of just a few years. the massive data collection on americans and foreigners around the globe will be kept in place indefinitely as president obama is criticized for lack of action following his speech on the n.s.a.'s practices.
