comes here and what needs to be done and press the trunk will explain loc. i've pro promise that on board. and this i, i would like you to commit to me they, that your troops will hold the line and not conduct any offensive acts, actions. and i'm going to qual, uh, so landscape. and i'm going to, we're going to tell him that either. either you stop fighting right now have a ceasefire right now, or i'm turning off the satellite information and the, the star line. so basically your virtual box have any directional information. and i think at that point, i think the sides will have a ceasefire. and now this, this is, this is my opinion i trump is not on, you know, of course. but i do believe that he has the, the ability to do it. it's not just

a matter of saying, well, no, we're not gonna do any more money. i think it's not a we can turn the lights off. yeah. and europe, i guess, do you think we'll be able to pick up any of any of the, like if you claim would not so agreed. so it's a trouble terms and supply you credit with enough military arms to keep as well going. i just, i think it's going to be very difficult. keep in mind also said the american general under president trump controls nature. so i think when this, when the time comes to say quit, i think that's going to be it. and keep in mind there's a lot of on rest within the, within the ukrainian army of the, the generals are very dissatisfied with so landscape. there's been some chatter

intercepted about discussions of and we see you know, how to perhaps november q as a military force. and over throw the government a kia. so what's your enforcement of the ukrainian, or russian but ukrainian. so i think, you know, president trump can very quickly, you know, tell to tell the central intelligence agency. i want a new president over there, you know, farmhouse generally your newest day or somebody and, and let's, let's get somebody to, uh, you know, 1st you know, just tell them we, we want to cease fire today. and then we will support you if you decide to, you know, to advance on calvin. and we will, at the same time get

a commitment from the president. the russian forces will not advance as long as you're sorting this thing out between you know, i'm giving you my impression hard happens. it could, it could happen differently, but i think that's a reasonable. so there it is. it's certainly very interesting venture to speculate on what could happen in just a couple of months time. i'm afraid we have run out of time now we've not even had time to discuss the police president's comments on the war and ukraine, but we should certainly do that. another time from the republican virginia sentence, a bunch of buck, thank so much for your time today. so that's about so this all mine is peter scott's. i'll be back again at the top of the hour with all the latest news on the news. no, not the

take a fresh look around, there's a life kaleidoscopic, isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions fixtures designed to simplify. it will confuse who really wants a better wills, and is it just because it shows you a few fractured images presented to this, but can you see through their illusions, going underground? can the the we are in north of sylvia in the caucasus mountains where beautiful people have

been coming together to celebrate the ancient traditions. since the beginning of time itself, where everything has a special symbolic meaning. i'm sean thomas. this is in land visions. and today we're discovering of the world of a such and culture the out of the we are heading to the city of the dead. a mysterious medieval village called the

gods that is heaped in minutes and legends in years gone by. and it was claimed, those who visited would never emerge on life. but we'll take our chances, the discharge this fascinating. there's an incredible energy here. it kind of feels like we're going back into the ancient times if you will. where are we exactly? what does this place? as a matter of fact, this is an ancient or medieval symmetry, but the way it is arranged is absolutely unusual. what we have here, uh, the so called vols. the was supposed to be it too and the houses for the deceased. and. ready i believe that all the

things that have flaw world it to and it to uh, impressing, have, reducing the, gets into the, under the influence. now in terms of the cities of the dead, this gorgeous one of the biggest in a set you in terms of the crypt themselves inside some of the people they do, the rest are in both like structures even. i can't help but think about the river styx and greek. mythology. are they related to how does something from greek mythology end up all the way here and the set to break the solar do, is also in the european route. and the officials belong to the uranian branch, all the to still recall the cultural community. and in this is of course we have relations. but to my mind,

lose the coffins with the cattle feeders and the cattle feeders. they have the idea of the tune of life and the to make the picture more convincing. i should say that when the woman was giving this to a new born child, she would also lead down into this uh, fee to you. and then this fee, the, because the place where the past and future meet each other. now strategically located is this place symbolic, even in its placement uh in our conversation before you're talking about. we're really at the center of the universe. exactly. and the that sensor is a,

just to the right side of my hand, this is the bow full, full for us issuing means mountain to bow is the piercing only. and it is connected with legends with the riots which are very important in a session. s new cultural tradition. what about these towers that we see everywhere or family towers? um, what do they mean? i mean, they're everywhere in terms of when you're going through the mountains, you the family tell as well. so it's all woods cost. so they were erected to be uh for to see cation, the construction for the family. this on the white, one hand, all the other hand, they will also secrets, as they was a,

symbolizing mon 2 and the some choice they were used for worship. those in ethics for addition that we read that, hey, you must follow with big 3 pause, go up to the toe, and for you to the gold let's see what's closer to having. so i've heard this phrase when doing research for, for this program that you can't build a tower from a ruined village, but you can build a village from a ruined tower. what does that mean? that's males. that's true. should be attributed to the human beings to people. if there are no people, there is no use of any so, and you tell it to react to i guess the general idea

is that with all the people, there is no life. there is no community. there is no, so what about some of these towers date all the way back to the 15th century. they're very old. so some families are trying to restore their towers. some are building new towers. what does it mean for a family to actually have a tower? and that's was the symbol of the high social status. it wasn't that easy. we use to modern buildings, and we ever didn't clear look down the at this. so i came to, i was made over the simple stoves, yet it needed the several years to rec, such is and so, and it's uh, i needed very much to have to build this because the technique itself

required the so the cool it's, is that, uh today we do not even realize now i know that here in a sort of a worship christianity, there's also islam, and there's also their own a certain religion as well. is it true that a orthodox christian and, and a muslim, considered at the same table after worshipping and not have any problems. so let's absolutely through the audio underlying the this fact is that a session for addition, adults both christianity and islam within the frame of the so called into european culture hero. and the, the, an idea of underlying boost calls is the readiness of the hero to sacrifice one's

old, one's own wife. you favor of the community in favor of the human kind. from this point of view, the soul that jesus christ as to why it was the hero who was ready to go to save the others. and the riots over the sacrifice shall animal is also in practically manifestation of this idea. in the slum literally is good one, but um, which also the many says the same idea and the families with one brother would go to the church and the other would go to move to the mosque and the going back home in the evening, they would assemble their own traditional and the 3 pause and pray

to go to my to do it was absolutely no problem. the synergy of religion and culture. could you say that that's the basis of what it means to be a set you to my mind. it sees the basic idea beams that the road, the different ways that the, the to one and the same go that is the good old molly to me and for you personally, someone who has lived here you're from here, you've studied the history here. what does it mean for you when i say i said to you, it is a mazda one. it is the place where i belong, and the it is the place where the wheels volunteer, and that is the center of the universe. is the city. right?

thank you very much, appreciate it. you're. busy welcome, the when you drive through the mountains of north of cities, you come across these giant installations every now and again. they are almost like easter eggs that serve people with a little reminder of where they are. we're off to meet are towards the music, off the man behind this project. thank you for meeting us out here. this is really a beautiful piece. so i have to ask, is this just a piece of art, or is there more meaning behind it? besides, you look at the, we created the sculptures and installations to capture the various aspects of a certainty as history through contemporary on it. it's just very simple. this

unless it was nice and this particular work about the depth on it can raise a lot of symbolic significance for us on the switch. and so what each, so if the meaning is to promote a setting and culture. uh, how does a letter or a wheel or a giant cornucopia achieve that task, posted civil cutting for services. we built these pieces with a lot of tourist. so being coming to take pictures, you some old topic, dozen others as the wheel, for example, is so massive and it just draws people to it. besides what see, it also represents the wheel of some sort of a symbol of a town to take over life. and lots of visitors like taking pictures around is he's couldn't use let's just as for the corner, copious or the whole of kenzie recreated it because uh grandfather's um, grandmothers. because back when we were small had these phones hanging on the walls . it meant that every house, so have that own abundance of something where they give just 200. now the more

decades laser, you mean most people buy the throne, the swans away on most of the blue last this valuable piece of history and your name. and so was the abundance is symbolized, every family has moved on somewhere. so i crossed over into motor and it's a, it's of a mind that john horn we installed on the side of the rug is to honor the memory of our grandparents. still one time we saw older people heading up that find them when they sold the whole and it was a point to that. it said we used to have a home like that or boy at home. we was so happy to hear that you use, it meant that we basically achieve the goal. we set out for this off piece, the sale to quote, you know, workshops, but yeah, we follow a sort of strategy or approach to make pieces of lots which well, model fits and still have a certain sense of history to them. a sense of the old or my we tried to combine these 2 phones. look at this guy. the same goes for all sculptures and installations. isn't the cost of with these pieces of molding? not yes ma'am, you know, but all that is, we also have

a national significance for us national and historical significance, and that's a month and the same is true. the kissing fund is it's an ancient musical instrument as well. so those are, that is made in that kind of a modern style for border. so to me and i'm still there, you have said that you have agreement to create a symbol that would unite all of the set you. what would that symbol look like? mazda is, we've got quite a few workshops here in the set. yes, i'm with so we can pull resources for joint projects, filler. one place makes a leg over the other hand, cetera for to and then you just bring these workshops together and completes it. now what exactly could we choose for the piece with or more with it could be a knowledge to coordinate with my hero of assess the and folks or what we could choose a specific county to from the not. and then we have out schools of all levels to participate in the project school to bring people together and organized a competition to the best design and working with them. so like one starts on the

project to that. you are an artist. obviously you have pride in a set you up because you've created this project. what does it mean for you to have something like this as a representation, as an artist? here in a set you personally most beautiful. we want you to know what's the most important thing we get out of this is coordinated. when you're a kid, your parents often feel anxious about what you're going to be when you grow up. what i did to this thing that i had a team of about 8 people with them off to the objects were installed on the project . got a lot of attention was of so i found out that the parents of my team members were really happy to mind. the boy approach me personally as the creator of the subjects flows through and told me that there's so proud to see what that children are doing . i'm no good for you. not hearing those parents, woods misuse meant more to my heart than anything more than having my name on that saying why did the

music is an important part of a setting culture and making musical instruments is a secret act for many years. the frontier factory has been making and renovating musical instruments, according to ancient rules, techniques, and traditions. the milan, i know that you follow the most ancient rules and techniques and traditions for making your instruments. what are some of the most important ones? when we started to work, we knew that these instruments literal authentic, because on saturday and have very few of them left to many of the instruments that existed did not survive the mongol invasion moments. too many people had forgotten this sound among those. given that we knew that the kitchen funded and the deluxe, and it would be coming from solid wood to make these 2 instruments resonate.

craftsman originally used to live up because they couldn't make other materials work at the time. we also started with them that resonate us, but we realized that the exact sound had been lost over time. so we couldn't make them sound like they showed in the end. we started making the deck out of wood or something that i found it incredibly interesting is that a luther has to have an incredible reputation. meaning that you can't be solely by crime or have your name hurts in any way. so in terms of being an instrument maker doesn't being an incredible craftsman, are simply being enough or do you mean why do you have to have such a good reputation that they do this? that's an interesting sort. and i think it was people with highly developed musical sensors who had the requisite qualities and the 1st place they have to be pillar of soul in mind, as it said in the not so because the saga speak of at some us

a creator of instruments produced sounds so noble that the musician seemed incapable of any wrong doing either. the oldest instruments we have to day is set to being created by them. not named sil, done to return from a long, just need to find his children killed and but now he didn't know why and was beside himself used. he took the hand of his eldest son to make the neck of an instrument and use some of the other bones to make the resonate to us and says, that's how he used the remains of his children to create the instruments known as the doing. dustin on this and the depth of its sound and its ability to express sorrow was so great that it became the most popular instrument among the settings for centuries. and the idea that the lucy must have a pure heart and mind is always present enough tales used to be. so what about the type of wood that you use? is there any special specific wood, or is it just any generic which might work the sooner? traditionally, of course we continue what's being done for centuries. we have maples, i mean sick, i'm all maple. so the dick the body body is made out of that the so that we use the

spruce for residents. so we haven't moved away from some of the canons of instrument making it so they would pay used to be popular and it was necessary for residents, wild parents, melbury because of the composition of the word held sound. well, today we've come to the point where the body is made of maple in the resumes of his spruce. what about the preparation for the would you have to do anything special to it? i heard that sometimes you might even have to boil it. is that true? a visa certainly would be odd, woods must be boiled to extract the excess sap and these new so it becomes more porous, which means it reflects sound. well, very exclusive models, we drive the would naturally for 5 or 6 see is that you would we boil is beach and maple. and when we, we boy that because it gives a clearer sound reflection with its destructive areas. likes to use spruce from georgia for the body and would use the word exposure to interleave was mostly from the northern slopes of south. is that the, the spruce trees that the crew that had a good sound reflection from one of them. so he loved that type of wood and spend

a lot of money to get it from here. so, so it's a little bit. we're also taking advantage of this, the opposing safety momentum. i know that there are a lot of different superstitions and traditions about these instruments. for example, being able to tell the weather from how the instrument looks can you talk to me about then the it's an interesting question. the practice, the only involves this instrument and the kitchen from different animal skin is tightly stretched to produce the right temperament, to, to prevent it from shrinking. they used to heat it up from time to time. from the however, when the weather changed, the instrument would shrink and little the same. it would then be this happened due to increased moist here in the a and condensation. so the settings could tell the instrument had shrunk by the sound produced, which also meant the weather was changing. well, the people might not feel it in the bones and the that the instrument would always respond to changing with them. another important aspect is that the sound pitch or the frequency of the string was used to rescue people from under landslide door avalanches, which in bad weather can cause smooth drift here. because if someone went hunting

or to fetch, hey, they couldn't of under one to do this instrument is the one who used to find them was risky, which would play it over the snow testing. it's deb, it's more than you think of with when there was a cavity beneath the strings started to sound different, so they dig in that spots and recover people. and when you with this method is described in many sources, many people know about it. so again, it was only the kitchen fund that was used for that. i mean, a change in its string pants indicated that the people trapped onto the snow. even though we haven't done this with our instruments, but the fact is it's palatable history. it's enough folk tales, you know, sagas as well. they play one up like this as it was only for these again. and the games is news and a slight change in the parents would tell them there was a person under the snow. that's what they used to do. so that's something i found fascinating is i heard that to get the right kind of would you have to pick would that is on the southern facing slope of the mountain? is this true and why the is that that was to yes,

that's true. the distance between the growth rings of a song tree is important. why? the japanese with a 1st to prove that equal spacing between tree ring. so when 10 general cuts a made to provide soup of sound reflection, but sure to be the correct what you said. it's very important detail. this needs to be taken into consideration when the what is count quotes and the spaces between the tree rings should be perfectly equal. if it does well, then the sound is echoed properly. but that's what because this moves the vibrational properties of the wood. one, how long does it take to make an example? for example, this one right here, how long does it take you to make from beginning to end? move dunham? so this instrument here was made from a hollowed out block of wood. the cutting, the body from blood is a traditional techniques if we use, it took us 2 months to make it. who is the you have to be very careful when removing wood from the sound bucks to insure universal sickness and vital for even

improper sound reflection and feeling. so it took us around 2 months to cross this instrument. i understand that this is not your specific instrument, but you do play, do you mind demonstrating what you can do? so i'm not, that's good with the bo this week, but i can show you something on a plaque string instrument. this the fund deal here on the. ready the . ready or the . ready the. ready the. ready

ready the that's an excellent, excellent the mm mm mm mm. mm mm. mm. mm. the mm. oh to explore

the page. yeah. mm hm. to a a, a the the watching wires and why in this control if i give borrowed money in the store in this they shed and i showed order for not, not just the last name scans when i am, what time? that's just all session. let's just sean your just is fun. you mine is going. you sit on what's in the the near

the the was the idea on going offensive kills at least 9 say they've got this. i'll see for hospital that since monday images and those reporting to show don't says i'm to unless been detained and flying folded by these really all mean the bullet as president says, the rushes, preparing for a direct confrontation with nate. so then it could happen within the next 2 years. we look at what's behind the claims on the top, you creating the official new chinese diplomats from life television deliberately using an up sensi. mispronouncing his name, the.
