the events that led to the end of a world power at all began with the 1917 russian revolution. workers on soldiers overthrew the roman empire and established communist rule. the new government was led black by vladimir lennon until his death in 1924. joseph stalin took over for almost 3 decades, which contributed to its status as a world power. by the time mikhail gorbachev became communist party leader in 1985, the economy was weak and led to industrial strikes and military tanks, taking over red square to challenge his role. a crew was attempted, but president boris yeltsin, let a successful campaign against it. in 1991. gorbachev resigned and the red flag was lowered over the kremlin as the russian flag was raised. samuel romani is a tutor and specialist on russian foreign policy. the university of oxford, he says, mikhail gorbachev reforms were the most far reaching and many have been reversed. since putin overshoot legacy initially all to the jet transition towards an

attempted democracy, the transition towards a free market privatization, the easing of cold war tensions was followed by an improvement of us russia relations intermittently over the next 15 years. but now under vladimir hooton's leadership, we've seen the exact reverse luciana, torturing consolidation. we've seen di, status companies taking over private enterprises and even more importantly, you seen a return to systemic confrontation between russia and the last that was arguably sharper than it wasn't. 19 it is the former soviet republics when a multiple different trajectory sound like the baltic states estonia, lapierre, lithuania, were able to enter the european union were able transition towards market economies were able to develop dynamic, innovative, private sectors if those that were presented by corruption, others like bella roost largely stayed the same as the as always has done with minor tweaking the planned economy, so largely in place and sound like russia and ukraine. i do on partial reforms in russia in particular, it was a cute economic depression. and deb,

organized crime and a breakdown of law and order in the 1st decade after the so the claps. and now we've seen a degree of stabilization, least on the streets, but also a resistance to diversification or resistance to reform as early resemblance of the late 19 seventies and early 19 eighties came in. it is a northern pockets on say, melting glaciers are putting their homes on livelihoods endanger. the country has more than $7000.00 glaciers more than anywhere in the world except the polar regions. climate change means some are disappearing and fast in part 2 or for a special series on pocket funds, water challenges with someone. bon jovi reports from ocean the 1000000 mountains living 2500 meters above sea level. there are no grocery stores nearby presented day begins with getting milk for her family. she lived in the idyllic possible village with 3 delicious meats in northern parts. but under the 3. com isn't ever

are angry at the government for not doing enough. they say they talk about warning systems and protection was never going to action. a couple of things and it's working with international partners who invest 40000000 dollars into saving lives and property. these don't just affect the 70000000 people. in fact, the 30000000 people who live in the fun. we have a project which is looking at setting up early warning systems so that we can at least get, you know, humans out of harm's way. but the challenge is the infrastructure. the infrastructure gets damaged. 70 percent of the damage caused by these racial birth is on infrastructure. and that creates and creates an economic costs for august on scientists. so assessing glacial fluctuations to understand the complex and direction involved in climate and leisure response for it's far reaching impact on global weather. focus on $7000.00 plus known glaciers make it home to more glacial life than anywhere on earth outside the polar regions. and within the himalayan

region. i'll find glaciers as sensitive to climatic changes due to their variable altitude and debris covering the ice on the foothills of the himalayan mountain range. there is erratic weather, excessive rain caused flood, and a lack of rain means that waterways and springs such as this have dried up. and there's very little snow on the mountain tops and that, but most of the population that risk is more than 80 percent of focus on fresh water comes from glaciers. this is a huge challenge for bargain on. it's not a lot of work on making started because the progress on the missions because of what is happening around the world on climate change. and we are getting affected by this. an average country store about 40 percent of the water. but in pug saw, the figure is 9 percent and the rest goes to the sea. and environmentalists say, unless water consumption is reduced in farming and in urban areas, the precious resource will become increasingly scarce. as the planet forms from

for personal point. does that does that might be, but times change and so does technology. wayne is one of the last few lighthouse keepers in south africa. we. we had a radio beacon with the old moscow with people with the most scope that changed. then they, at the g p. s. and from the gps, you change to yes. yes means what a medical dental patient system. what happens if the supposed by the identifying she out to the light dose into light doesn't defy even to the that the possible. the light from the 15 me to tool lighthouse is magnified by a lens which appear day can be seen as far out of 32 nautical c miles. that's almost 60 kilometers. when says he takes great pride in keeping berlin clean and working at its best. the lighthouse stands above the west coast village of pots,

this lighthouse in cape town is the oldest in south africa. and the 1st slide people began working in 1824 back then the light was powered by oil and lay to gas and all the work was done manually. but advances in technology mean a light keeper is no longer needed, definitely a diesel that i. and so does our duty to our fellow staff members that we do educate and up skilled him to change direction, change the career direction so that they can get involved in different other projects. it may be difficult to tell how many lies have been saved by the diligence of members of this humble profession. and for one of the last generation of keepers like wayne, this is more than just a job for me. davila al jazeera cape columbine, south africa, and some breaking news. a bomb has a clue, exploded in a popular restaurant in the democratic republic of congo. that block happens in the city of benny and it's killed at least 7 people,
