keep.

playing. well that was all rather surreal. definitely the way to stream i've had for a while. there was a memorable ceremony. who i'm pretty sure the high priestess never spoke to me. what was it she sent full of the flame or something. there's. a lot more of course at base. on which the top story this morning than the silky twenty pulteney olympic flame isn't by seven days off it was in the ancient greek city of libya carried by russia's deputy prime minister dmitri cool with ak if i traveled in a small amount into red square where president vladimir putin spoke of its meaning for the russian people i mean the limbic chill of the symbol of the world's primary sports competition of peace and of friendship. but he has come to russia.

there are many marks the start of the longest tools relay in a limb take a story the flame puts greatness so many people have turned out to the start of the russian relay it looks like a lot of fun up there. in a minute. but it was. the stone that picked up in the end it was on my mantel piece 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 picked up two gold medals in the beijing and london games. he's still a big gold medalist is still something special for you i guess of course it's a unique feeling because i had never carried the torch before. at first i ran with it quite easily than i felt i 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 delight and the crowd's reaction words 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 the thing we want to her. you're whole

and also desirable should be like wow. a lot of questions where or. wait it's quite we have to take all the cover and we milled that out by. extra weight of the aluminum so it's really fine. it's the feather feather over the period 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. underneath here and it just cuts the fire but in this kid we have a special. wiring inside which melting 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 more than a kilometer under and uses the most sophisticated drilling equipment to get to the precious. stones have been taken to assaulting sense and closely examined each rough gem is appraised value and i had a close family focused on my precious stone too. must be some kind of limestone and 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. know it's false but it's luminescent as from. 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 me in these 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 all over forty years these huge realized trucks two more 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 olympic torch is and torch bearers are made of stern stuff. this huge quarry has been the frozen heartbeats of the city for more than fifty years producing more than seventeen billion dollars of diamonds my stone it meant i was here to watch the parade but what was i supposed to do next. great shot. these kinds. lives so when two mates

were two. and again show me one. by carlo. choice. they can be few more famous natural landmarks in russia than lake baikal the oldest and deep this lake on the planet on the site of a very special olympic celebration. for the first time ever planning to light the olympic flame on the water. 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 by cow has many faces in winter it's tough and in summer it's beautiful you can't help but admire its power because 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. the torch rallies have been warmly welcomed across the country but the crowds here are about to witness something that's never been done before. then there's plenty of local showmen own hands went to attain them while they wait

. a mass of noise and color to cheer the torch bearers on. this torch is based on a special system there is a pyrotechnic 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 watched for miles on the water you could almost feel the crowd energy coming across the waves it had been another remarkable spectacle for this record breaking tool tree and 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. 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. that. is profit. these golden rice. 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. if my stone was telling me to follow the flame i was going to take it as

far as i could. hundred nautical miles of stark beautiful ocean lay between us and the top of the world. but just in case you 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 the ship was planned for the occasion. and you can learn so many new things. 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 there so late in the season 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 bazza and after only four days we were already near our destination. that's a world record pace. we made it. let's do ninety degrees north to talk to the world. what. was the champagne had been finished everything kicked into gear the torch bearers went off to get ready and our organizing committee began making preparations for the relay. we love the one on the other one and then tried to hold it the right way all. right but what.

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 g c. i think that's me now. thank you very much yes i get it they can look off the list and return it later. i was it good. yeah go through it most of it. we stepped off the ship and on to the ice the torches glowed flickering through the pitch black polar nights. the pioneering survey of polar explorer. of would ignite the culture of the most northerly place on the planet. it's not often you get to witness

a moment of history this is the first time the olympic flame is out of in 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 gold and lies in committee . the flame the ip that it is has its own security team at all times not to mention its own private jets. who got this special service with the flame cooper which is just responsible for the security of the flame the keep the flame a little dent in the wish it were on this special will you know that all of these flame will never go off. for. 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 the nobody will homie nobody will get this for a show police are just the better because it's just a flame and it's very dangerous for everybody. this is come chaka. peninsula that's one of the most easterly places in russia. so that you don't burn yourself when you torches lit. for the loot fortune never talks to the flaming torch bearer and russian because you never. everybody every had an inhabitant of the cities just very proud that comes to his cd i must say that i hope you lation no.

it was the end of another really 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. to go. by literally from the house of land. but the torch would move all over the mountains across the sea. even else 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 although safety reasons made lysias on board a heavily fueled rockets are all the bad idea the world's first olympic space walk was no problem. back down if i was getting some inspiration of my own. yes. i come so far with the tools i was going to have to see it through to the end i've watched 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 a new father in the south of the country in under two hours i was going to be a torch bearer. for. the school uniform. because. it was time to suit up and pick up the most vital piece of equipment. i think. to make. up their english training thank you. at last and. 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'll be in the car that will be filming us starts to move and we run towards it ok going to. the russians or. none of us could wait to get stuff says and the policy 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 kind of mill. you can really imagine how exciting it is. i'm looking forward to the moment when

the whole country will see me and i. want to sleep i can't believe it. did school was 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 pulse me the flame all i could think of was for goodness sake don't drop it. by. the dream come true i missed all the atmosphere of the london twenty games i never thought of that to be part of another day and now i'm. going to play with this moment.

i think i finally understand. i got a little further to go with this story. i was with it when it was for the very first time in a limpia increase it went deep underground into diamond mines and you could see i was with it when it plunged into the waters of lake baikal and i was with it when the wins by president of the very top of the world and then it went. to the international space station. to believe. if you could. you could base metal into gold this tool which of those elements even

a fifth element the quintessence from space itself. i believe. 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 the american decision makers i wonder why is that clear or. true of three hundred fifteen million people. sore. or. saluted from the world by two large oceans. we're trying to think 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 least effective presidents how do historians and the public determine the success or failure of an american president

and why are some presidents rehabilitated years or even decades after they leave office. there were millions of dollars moving from a company in saudi arabia called sharpie fruit a fruit company and they were sending money to. the leading members of the muslim brotherhood in yemen so this is what we see is allowing that in facilitating the that to happen here that causes political instability in the region and that causes i mean that's fine it's treason it's financing our enemies and what's crazy about it is that each s.p.c. admitted to the department of justice and to the world they've made it treason financing the enemy if you plead guilty to financing the enemy i don't think you should just walk with a fine that's not final that's jail time. i

know. tanya. well tell me how you know my little grandson. i know you i don't like. was being cut off. except it was an ecovillage that the spiritual side is destructive. i tried to convince her try to preach that it was a sect but it's dangerous that she had to leave it was a story she had lost her mind. you know you she will come back i know it was and i will wait even if it means i must wait until my dying day.

so that 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 goods. in september leningrad was blocked. one day mom went to sort out all the shelves were empty. in november they bombed the diversity 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. the third night it was incredibly heavy bombing. it was a direct route on that very shelter and everyone was buried underneath. all of them .

a new study proves that the watsons on to assad claims the cylons chose chemical abscond that washington blamed the regime could have never been launched from government controlled areas. russian officials a bunch of behind the barbed wire at america's notorious gone tunnel bay prison where more than a dozen detainees are reportedly being force fed i mean i'm going to destroy. the massive data collection on americans and foreigners around the globe will be kept in place indefinitely as president obama is criticized for a lot of action following his speech on the n.s.a.'s practices.
