Michael in St. Petersburg, Russia
Below links show Michael and Paula Abdul visiting a Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg today and reports contained in the links are those televised on a news channel. Didn't know quite where to put so I hope everyone okay with fact I have started this thread and that I have laid it out way I have with links and then written transcripts which were given below each.
"Paula Abdul, Michael Bolton and the "Earthlings". The stars of show business came today to seriously ill children in the first municipal hospital in the Avant-garde street.
In the framework of charity musicians demonstrated the latest equipment for eye care and burn units. Complicated and expensive equipment purchased with the money the charity fund "Federation". Such devices help physicians, first, to recognize the disease, for example, the eye early on and ease the pain of young patients.
For example, a bed, equipped with a computer, runs on a dry liquid. This allows the body to repeat the form of a child, avoid friction, and pressure sores, which is especially important in the burn ward.
Michael Bolton, musician:
"I'm also a father, I too have children. It is impossible to say" no "when it comes to aid charities, children's hospitals. Difference is based on advanced technologies and products, and you know it you can see all of you just can disseminate information that the hospital needs to be supported. "
This is not the first action of the charity fund "Federation". From 30 March to 1 April in Moscow hosted a charity auction in aid of the four children's hospitals. This list includes two hospitals, and St. Petersburg.
Also, action timed to coincide with another important event - the Mikhailovsky Castle today will be a charity auction, "Stars in support of Russia against severe childhood diseases." Typically, the money collected at these auctions, go to help seriously ill children and equipping hospitals with modern equipment."

"In the framework of charity Paula Abdul and Michael Bolton visited the children's hospital number 1 in St. Petersburg. They saw with their own eyes an expensive equipment purchased for the treatment of severely ill children.
Note that here expecting more of the stars, but for various reasons they have not arrived at the hospital: one could not fly, but someone changed plans. Nevertheless, the significance of the event it does not diminish.
The visit was the inspection of equipment that was purchased with the money to charities. The funds collected after the ball, which took place a year ago in Moscow on the Sparrow Hills. Then in the list of financial aid was listed, and the St. Petersburg Children's Municipal Hospital number 1.
After a year of medical equipment purchased and installed. Now the institution has a unique bed burn intensive care unit patients. There are already being treated the 11-year-old boy who was taken by helicopter from Novgorod. The child has 40 percent body surface burn.
Unfortunately, the demand for hospitals in this technique is extremely high, because there is not only saving the lives of small St. Petersburg, but also children from the neighboring regions.
The guests also visited the now Department of Ophthalmology, which also operates the equipment for a comprehensive examination of patients. And after a brief meeting with journalists visit ended with stars. People communicate with their children did not. It was not planned. However, the absence of such communication is unlikely to affect the continued support of the Children's Hospital.
In the evening will be held in the Mikhailovsky Castle charity auction. As said in a statement fund "Federation", in support of Russia against severe childhood diseases."

"The distinguished guests who attended one of the largest children's hospitals in St. Petersburg, saw a unique bed in the burn intensive care and modern devices for testing of children.
Today, the children's city hospital № 1 on the Avant-garde street of St. Petersburg's famous guests were waiting. World stars visited the clinic in the charity event organized by Foundation "Federation".
Were you able to talk to young patients with singers and celebrities who came out, he knows NTV correspondent Katerina Pravdina .
Guests arriving in the 1st children's city hospital in time, first for a long time stood in front of the clinic. Journalists and patients considered to Paul Abdul and Michael Bolton. It turned out that they are waiting for the other stars. When it became clear that others did not arrive, the company has acceded to the doctors, musicians who met in the lobby.
After a brief introduction delegation moved around, which was the first item on the intensive care burn department, which recently brought and set up a special bed. Bought it for charitable funds collected after the ball, which took place a year ago on the Sparrow Hills.
Then in the list of recipients and hit the St. Petersburg Children's Hospital. Now the treatment is on the new hardware is 12-year-old Sasha, who has 40% burns. The boy was brought here by helicopter from Novgorod.
Marina Brazol , head of the burns unit of the 1st children's city hospital in St. Petersburg: "The bed operates on the principle of dry liquid. It creates a little pressure on the burn surface, the donor wounds, where we take skin. The bed is warm. We can adjust the temperature to warm the patient. This is important: in shock patients ill keep the temperature. "
Previously, when changing a patient in intensive care physicians had a special sterilized sand by hand. It took about 12 hours. And given the high demand for such equipment, is a branch of one thousand children a year, every minute counts.
Simplify the lives of patients and physicians and diagnostic ophthalmic center. This study is the second and last point of the program
star delegation .
The children are the stars of show business did not communicate. But this was not planned. Of course, if one of the patients left the chambers, the dialogue would be held. But the kids wanted to or not, or were on the procedures, or just tired.
But on further financial support of this fact should not be affected. Especially when the guests - an American of Russian origin, Michael Bolotin, who became Michael Bolton, but do not forget their roots.
Michael Bolton , musician: "I too have children. It is impossible to say "no" when it comes to child care organizations, children charities, children's hospitals. We came here to see the difference - when you can use the new technology. Children sleep on new bedding. We would like to see it with my own eyes. But the most important thing that you distribute this information. And the hospital, and children receive more support. And probably all of us heart aches when it comes to children. "
In the 1st children's city hospital a lot of friends to help financially. With some, this friendship has lasted for about ten years. The only question that someone needed publicity for charitable events, while others, on the contrary, I want to remain a secret benefactor. But in any case, the value of this assistance is always equivalent."

There are not two videos of MB singing Sylvie what the videos are are of newscasts where they are showing shots of Michael and Paula attending the Kid's Hospital......there is a video with each article and there are now about four different ones for each is showing MB and Paula in different parts of the hospital although they may all sound exactly the same to you with that Russian voice going on and on....it certainly has had some news coverage and I bet a lot of the other guests of the Festival that didn't take up the invite and honour it, as Michael and Paula did, to go to the Children's Hospital are sorry now when they see the coverage. Believe the coverage was planned but they thought they would be covering all the guests attending the hospital but it was only Michael and Paula that turned up so they were the only two that the media could follow.....well done them..... I for one am pleased and proud, of both of them, for doing that......shows care, respect and compassion in my book.
Sylvia. Your wee Scottish friend.

Hi again Sylvia, what I meant is that I don't know where the other videos are girl, Russian overdub or not. In any case, if Michael doesn't speak, it's pretty pointless to me. Thanks for letting me know. Take care sweetie. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada

The videos are right at the top of the pages Sylvie but they are not direct access and I have found that those with a central button haven't worked for me sometimes and I have had to go to toolbar on the bottom to get it started but basically what the translations I have done are the transcripts from the videos and that is where they give the quote where MB has spoken......you do not hear anyone else speaking English for it is either the TV commentators or the hospital staff that are speaking. You do see MB and Paula quite a lot in the shots but they are walking round the hospital, being introduced to staff or listening to staff explain things and if you can think of a news bulletin, rather than a news interview, that is what it is for it is obviously segments within their main St. Petersburg news programme so it is not just about the celebrities for it is showing the hospital and as with the other video of the auction at night that is showing the whole thing and the set up....not just concentrating on the guest celebrities. I would say you are not missing out on anything not hearing the videos and if one pops up with MB really speaking I will let you know - promise !!! :)
Sylvia. Your wee Scottish friend.
