dumped in shallow graves in the russian city of blood have a chance a man stumbled across one of these mass graves. well what if they look at this hole here says we tell the question and shows us the grizzly find on his property. at the well i want to do is stand my house here while i was digging the hole for the foundations i found 1st one skull then a 2nd a 3rd and so on. in the meantime fatality has more than 10 sacks of human bones in his garden. a government commission says they come from a mass grave dating back to the 1930 s. or. fitted he lives with his family in the far east of russia. the city on the chinese border saw mass executions join the stalinist purges the period known by people as the great tara

a has repeatedly asked the authorities in black of ashamed for help in dealing with the remains in his garden. because before there was life i asked them for the past year for much of the birth and they say they don't have the money or the stuff from poland the only thing they promised was to come and pick up the remains but only after i broke them out myself it was a bitter and. a small local undertakers business has helped with the burial of a small number of the victims of italy crash a complains they've been buried anonymously and without dignity. it's been exactly 30 years since the berlin wall fell today only few traces of the

iron curtain remain much to the disappointment of tourists who come to see the historic barrier. where did the berlin wall go luckily this metal strip marks where it once stood but where can you see pieces of the wall itself we are asked some tourists if they found the wall no. i have it up there ok good yeah because i'm going to head up that way. i don't know what on them brigade was no no that's that's somewhere else i don't know. on both sides of the former border lynn has grown and grown together and the longtime residents remember it whereas the wall just behind you behind me yes. there's nothing there. on the that's tough luck but it was there

a part of the wall still is around at least a few meters worth original sections with missing ones marked by metal rods to form an iron curtain taurus to want to touch the concrete that once divided not just but in but the eastern and western blocks like this man from california. actually expected to be more tall. but on the other hand seems like it's extremely durable and impressed that it's still here the remains of the wall are a real tourist draw guided tours take place daily is the area he was controlled by warner troops in the end in 191-2000 of them and watch towers in this area every 2 to 400 meters tourists can see the one watchtower still standing here otherwise that all guides have to help people visualize what this area used to look like.

as one thing there are traces you can show how the city's changed and what the war meant for people who live here. without a guide like andrea's so new to berlin often look for the bull inventing. have no clue. we just arrived recently so there's a wealth of it there but i doubt it. but this actually was part of the berlin wall what east german authorities dubbed the anti fascist protection beriah one stretched for 160 kilometers now just a few kilometers remain on the border is gone for good. a year from now the united states will hold presidential and congressional elections the key question remains will donald trump be reelected we asked residents of richmond central wisconsin for the past 40 years they've always voted for the presidential candidate who wound up in the white house. feeding time for

dairy farmer market stalls and his calves like most people in richland county stalls voted for president trump in 2016 but twice for barack obama in the elections before this time he says the political mood is anything but clear we tend to we tend to like more than most people i don't i we don't talk a whole lot about it but it can get very testy very quickly even within our family i'm going to give give give give give give give give give give give give give give give give give give give me even though you voted for trump in the last election mark stalls cares about key democratic issues like health care and climate change he also wants an end to the president's trade more farmers like him particularly hard he says. so that that's hurt we don't have a good place to ship malchen way products and cheese and you know it's all right on

the markets got a lot of milk and cheese on it and americans are drinking less milk wisconsin lost over $600.00 dairy farms in the last year. richland center with its 5000 citizens is the largest town in richland county a bellwether for the presidential election since 1980 the majority here has always voted for the winning candidate. richland county is traditionally a republican county. do we always vote that way you know i think it's with all the impeachment so it's going to be very noisy and interesting for the next year but if i was betting today i would bet he'll get elected again at the local newspaper editor dawn key 1st says left and right wing supporters in the county are fighting for the public's attention she is often criticized for printing opinion letters that are too critical of president trump. i suggest to those persons they ought to write letters their their own selves expressing their beliefs

but most of those people declined and they don't explain why not i suspect they don't want their name in the paper. dairy farmer march told says the decisive factor for him will be who the democratic contender is if the candidate is too progressive he might stick with donald trump even if that means more suffering for him and the farmers of richland county. south africa is considered a paradise for gin lovers newly created spirits are always finding their way to the country's national market it already off 1st 500 different varieties but there's one flavor that even seasoned aficionados need some getting used to. and sleigh is always good to see people's reactions while preparing its giant tasty

after all in the oval is no ordinary gin it's flavored with elephants. yeah it is a little bit funny to think that was elephant dung but it's it's good surprisingly good. if you didn't expect so you know. what makes me feel better about it is all the alcohol of that sterilizes whatever that was inside the down side doesn't really make a big difference to me it tastes good. less and slim and his wife have a special ingredients for their gin in south africa with the scope. and there is some danger involved a pride of lions watch this with bated breath by the 2 former academics came up with the idea while others suffer now they're in business. smells of grass

and leaves is love is very botanical it's because cd elephants they eat all the all this amazing food and they digest so little and the rest of their food is just passed through their digestive system very quickly and then the pommy on the felt floor indeed that doesn't smell too bats. still the pot rangers are just getting used to seeing people collect elephant feces . it's good for you a little bit would like to. somehow oh. yes yes. we collected about just over 3 of these size bags. and this will be. what we have bought. $4000.00 bottles 6 ounce bottles

will have to get out of the elephant feces get washed and dry to the workshop then it gets deep engine for 24 hours just like a teabag find a product is a premium gin for more than 30 euros per bottle it's a clear success for the gin distillers. it's been crazy so it was it started off as maybe we could do this is a part time thing but we soon realized if we wanted to make it successful and if we if you wanted to grow the business and it had to be a full time job so forth for 2 of us it's a full time job. the spirit make us now i hope that the elephant dung infused gin will claim a permanent place on the shelves of south africa stores and pops. the
