yes the friendship. but you must come to russia because there are many marks the start of the longest toss relay in a limb take a street the same good scrape this so many people have turned out of the start of the russian really 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 monthly piece and if that isn't a sign i don't know what it was. 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 a 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. we do call him peace talks to him big gold medal is there still something special for you. of course it's a unique feeling because i had never carried the torch before i had first i ran with it quite easily then 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 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 are. weight it's quite 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. it's 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. special. wiring inside which melting in the fly karelia 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 stuff.

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 school. once the stones have been taken to a sorting sense and closely examined each rough gem is appraised and valued and i had a close only focused on my precious stone to. have must be some kind of. there i can see small crystals here

proving that it's ancient rock. but really it shouldn't should it. no it's false but it's luminescent as from. ok maybe you could make it luminescent if you really believed it. i think you did you really expected to go. 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 and turn around 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 in forty years these huge realized trucks one of the most famous symbols in your kooky year carrying the region's diamonds from its quarries and factories and now. it's getting ready for its most important passenger ever. it must 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 when two mates were to.

again show me the and. 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 they're 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 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. come to cross the country but the crowds here are about to witness something that's never been done before. and there's plenty of local show my 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 underwater it's like a second sun the flame literally illuminates the entire lake bottom 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 was tremendous on the water you could almost feel the crowd's energy coming across the waves it has been another remarkable spectacle for this record breaking tool trailer i was wondering what could possibly top it. looks like on the right track. so what but a. baseline is a true. a credit big point is aaa credit there's only two or three countries the wrong the other aaa credit america's not aaa anymore a mostly euro zone is junk big oil is aaa credit it think about that with open transparent security creation and the ability to wipe out wall street with actual security figure to take algerian man to get troublesome to point out this is

fantastic. we speak your language or not advance. news programs and documentaries and spanish more matters to you breaking news a little turn to angles the stories. you hear. that all teach spanish find out more visit i. teach. right from the scene. first street view and i think picture. on our reporter's twitter. instagram.

to be in the know. on. tanya played it well tell me how you are my little grandson. i don't like i don't like. was being cut off. except as an ecovillage that the spiritual side is destructive. i tried to convince her to try to preach that it was a sect but it's dangerous and she had to leave it was a story she had lost her mind all. 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.

over. that you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy schreck albus. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and our press difficult we've been hijacked why handful of transnational corporations they will profit by destroying what our founding fathers one school class i'm job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem of trucks rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing america five ready to join the movement then walk a bit it. might

move 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 but 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. see hundred nautical miles of stark 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 back eliminates a. 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 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 there so late in the season of them were to 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. only four days we were already near our destination that's a world record pace. let you ninety degrees north isn't top of the world. ah.

of course 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 and we love the one on the other one and. tried to hold it the right way. 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 pass hand in time and just seconds later she was away and i was on collection to see. you. we now. think. yes we're going to take a look offer this retirement date. i was it good. yeah go through it most of it. know if.

we stepped off the ship and on to the ice the torches glow flickering through the pitch black poland nights. a pioneering survey of polar explorer auteuil chilling gold would ignite the culture of the most northerly place on the planet. it's not often you get to witness a moment in history this is the first time for the olympic flame is ever been that of 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 in lies in committee. the flame the ip that is has its own security team at all times not to mention its own private jets. who got this special service the

plane keepers which is just responsible for the security of torchbearer and the plane they keep the plane little land on the wall should work 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 nobody will harm me nobody will get this push. place just me of the better because he's just a flame that's very dangerous for everybody. this is camp shot of alternate peninsula that's one of the most easterly places in

russia. that is. so that you don't but when your torch is lit or going. for the food 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 and i say that. three of them. 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 are my. my literally from the house of land. but the torch would move all over the mountains across the sea. even alps of this world. live show. yes another historic moment they paid a visit to the international space station more than four hundred kilometers above the planet's. safety reasons made lysias on board

a heavily fueled rocket so the bad idea the world's first olympic spacewalk was no problem. back down if i was getting some inspiration them. 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 a new father in the south of the country in under two hours i was going to be a torch bearer. for my fishel uniform. because. it was time to suit up and pick up the most vital piece of equipment.

i think. let's make. a stimulus up to their english training thank you. 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'll be in the car that will be filming us starts to move up and we run towards it ok go to. the russians are. 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. my neighbor cotton mill. you can really imagine how exciting it is. looking forward to the moment when the whole country will see me it was. honestly 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 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 london twenty games i never thought of the gods to be part of another day and now i'm. going to play with this moment. i am. i think. i'm going to little further to go on with this story. i was with it when it was for the very first time in a limpia increase it went deep underground into

a 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 winds by president of the very top of the world and then it went out to this one holds the international space station. to believe. if 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 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 and saw that all the shelves were empty. in november they bombed the die of steel 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 that was incredibly heavy bombing. it was a direct hit on that very shelter and everyone was buried under me. all of them with dead. language. with no infidels some of. us

choose the consensus get to. choose the opinions that invigorating to. choose the stories that impact your life choose the access off to. there is so little self reflection on the part of both the american public and the american decision makers i wonder why is that. country of three hundred fifty million people. or. slated from the world by two large oceans. we're trying to think of foreign policy is something we do to other people rather than that that's something we participate in.
