is actually really interesting and it s all to do with this is technical, so bear with me the rail gauges. that s the distance between the rails. in 1916, this awe inspiring route was completed, connecting montreux on lake geneva to the vibrant city of lucerne. travellers could ride in style through the beautiful bernese alps and witness some of the most stunning scenery in the world. but for years, passengers had to get off and change trains mid journey to accommodate for when the rail gauges change notjust to a different width, but also a different height. but now, travellers can make the entire journey on just one train, thanks to some clever engineering. what can i see here? that s the gauge changing installation. this is the point where.? this is the point. ok! this is where the magic happens. laughs. so, we go from a wider gauge.

spectacular mountain views. but this train itself is actually really interesting and it s all to do with this is technical, so bear with me the rail gauges. that s the distance between the rails. in 1916, this awe inspiring route was completed, connecting montreux on lake geneva to the vibrant city of lucerne. travellers could ride in style through the beautiful bernese alps and witness some of the most stunning scenery in the world. but for years, passengers had to get off and change trains mid journey to accommodate for when the rail gauges change notjust to a different width, but also a different height. but now, travellers can make the entire journey on just one train, thanks to some clever engineering. what can i see here? that s the gauge changing installation. this is the point where.? this is the point. 0k! this is where the magic happens.
high priority for him, for this administration, and that we are going to stay laser focused on trying to bring paul home. paul whelan has been held by the russians for almost four years. his brother, david, by the way, who i ll speak to in the next hour, said he thinks we re at a point where, quote, the u.s. government doesn t have any concessions that the russian government wants for paul. is he right? well, so i think we re going to test that proposition in the coming days and weeks and we are going to continue to go back at this. we are going to continue to negotiate and to talk to the russians about paul s release, and frankly to demand it. because this is an american citizen who should not be held, as he has been now for several years. we will not rest on this until we can reunite paul and his family the way we were able to with britney. he s also a former u.s. marine. on the release of the arms dealer viktor bout, the former president of ukraine tells cnn
