the soviet union were a superpower one of the strongest so. countries in the world had cetera et cetera we had the developed economy to decay from that side to him that were collapsing and of course there is a chance china could collapse like this but. myself used to predict that it would happen twenty years ago or fifteen years ago ten years ago we didn't have them so they they do have a chance to continue going like this thank you marcy again for the time he. brightened. from stupid.

t.v. don't come. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images they are seeing from the streets of canada. for a show. we

have a. quick look at your headlines first a two week old baby girl in southern russia. by surviving in scorching sun after being on the road side record breaking heat. wildfires. running dispute water supply from the river jordan is a source of serious friction between. jordan shortages threaten to further relations between the three countries while the people suffer. and of the community in the u.s. claim to be discriminated against but. to assert their rights in a country whose laws and authorities they say failed to protect them. next year on

our t.v. we take you to the north as national nature reserve famous for its marvelous landscapes unique. architectural heritage from ancient times. among the snowy peaks. of the greater. the republic of north. touched. closely here. the rivers rushing to hundreds of streams.

among the rocks and tops up to four. in springtime. is slowly coming to life. first. of spring. the. river is the reserves and. only just beginning to flood. in early spring people used to get to the rocky range.

chance. when you're not here we have not been aware of its existence for ten years when locals told us about it they said she put it once being sheltered in the caves first tunnel when we first came here we did see tracks left by sheep yes that's right i remember the first time i came here we did see tracks left by sheep. the cave extends for more than a kilometer several narrow corridors hide a large central chamber the cave walls are covered in drip stones still are tights and still like mines. the north caucasus largest bat hibernates deep underneath the ground they represent the redbook species the bat and the horseshoe nosed bad more than

two thousand bats gather here in the winter they cuddle together in order to survive the cold weather in summer they fly to the foothills and return again in autumn they start preparing for migration in early spring when they split up into smaller groups. sometimes i find all of the boats covered with jew. they look very nice like covered in tinsel. ok visit closed ecosystem the humidity is one hundred percent and the temperature in the caves is constant which is exactly what bats need humans should avoid staying in the caves for too long as they start to have an impact on the special climate conditions. guys can you hear them calling. you know this means we warmed up their confined habitat. if they start flying

around they will use up their fat a may not survive until spring. so let's get out of here. the. unexpected obstacle. path. before next spring. springs from.

one hundred. because there are.

landmarks scattered across the reserve reflect the history of. people first began using caves and overhanging rocks as dwell in these times. alone is where the ancestors of the. they built stone fortifications overlooking the mountain pass so they'd be more easily defensible. in those days even temper lanes mighty army was unable to cross this territory the highlanders blocked the mountain passes and pelted his troops with stones. these tell was began to be built in the middle ages. period dates back to the fourteenth or seventeenth century. the most celebrated architectural landmarks of ancient north to set it they differ in height and shape as a rules large extended families lived in wide short towers taller ones were used as

lookout points and for other defensive purposes the towers were built close to villages and in gorges with paths used by troops on foot and on horseback many were extensions of forbidding clips. rock faces but they provided protection from infighting among the diverse or is. was served as. if people manning which tell was in the lowest lying villages at the entrance to the gorge noticed approaching enemy troops then they would lie don't fall as people in all the town was so the smoke. was in remote parts of the gorge. in accordance with the longstanding tradition. was to take no more than a year if builders failed to meet the deadline the structure was pulled down and built a new towers belonging to the same clan were regarded as sanctuaries in due course they became symbols of the clans power and wealth as time went by they turned into

veritable objects of worship. one of the most revered sanctuaries of the people is a medieval architectural site called the. located in the gorge eighteen hundred meters above sea level. alike contest indicates that here. from here in the tenth or eleventh century. this fancy was built a couple of centuries later the. initial in orthodox church was here but orthodoxy grew weaker it was turned into a pagan sanctuary. city to discos and animals killed by

hunters were brought here. scientists don't yet know exactly when the recall was built only logs were used to make it no nails or anything made of. cars poles support the wooden roof they feature patterns that look like a camel's head resting on a long neck. arrow and spirit heads have been found here according to legend the oldest city in prince tar was kept here has it that even travelers visiting this place in the eighteenth century saw it. only natural features are destined to be the reserves eternal landmarks. over the centuries water and wind have crafted unique mountain landscapes.

many of them are hidden from the inquisitive eyes of tourists. only the staff of the nature reserve are aware of their location. if ever that part of this will file is called the ring is a unique natural feature of this century. the river has broken through limestone beds here to make a hole in the shape of a ring there was a reflector that it forms a rainbow. waterfalls like this one are rare not only in the caucasus but in the entire world the stone is about two metres wide. its broadest part consists of three layers of limestone the age of the rock is estimated between one hundred and one hundred twenty million years. or more that's . absolutely. i would say it's the standard for natural water.

in the limestone of the kerry range there also is crystal clear up to filtering through many kilometers of limestone not over. the kenyon with rock terraces grados and knishes begins right under the ring waterfall it took the car to go on mountain stream. thousands of years to force its way through the rock. swaying many tons tumbled down from cliff tops and terrace had just a stream of winds are now loops through the stones and. this is where. the very clean water for life but it's a rare species in the moans and streams of the cool cases. the kenyans must seawalls date back to the period in winter they're covered with

heights they're known as weeping walls because of the constantly dripping water in summer. the reserves melt and streams overflow their banks in early spring but they're not the main threat to the mountain paths rockslide said in with the arrival of warm weather. first tree removal a clear cut. second explosives are used to plastic a beat early in the. the remainder of machinery. finally the fund. is deposited in valley feel.

able to. get signed up to join the military because i thought that it was my duty that it was something that i could do to help my country. my government that is necessary for america. you know. there was a lot of. the us a lot of murder of american officers by american soldiers there were a lot of stories. about it and. this is all the i always thought i wanted to win a lot of medals and they have a lot of desperation. but afterwards i realize that they they don't mean anything they're not that important. i don't i don't i never kept the medal.

in spring called open mating season in the mountains of the north of nature reserve . this is the best time for observing what are otherwise quite secretive animals and scientists take full advantage of the opportunity. getting to their habitats is quite a problem though avalanches stand in the way. one of them is blocked the road leading to the field done gorge where rangers have seen caucasian goats. no we'll have to walk. some hundred meters from. here could go. we'll try to take another road.

the train highway is the reserves most avalanche prone area with up to two hundred fifty inches each sees. a snow slide can be set off from a shelter from skis. or from a drift of snow. usually slides down slowly from the. place. in north.

nobody was hit. but the road. they have to go on foot to reach them. sometime. today.

they almost never slip off. and they have no fear of heights. the east caucasian variety of goats inhabits this reserve it's possible to tell them apart by the shape of their horns. with some flow for. in the form of a partial spiral. like this like it but. it's the right horn to the left and the left horn points to the right. cohesion goats or wild animals but high in the mountains and they often allow rock climbers to come surprisingly close. at the most of them would do you typically a matter of ten meters but if you think those have got used to the presence of

people who are. quite tolerant of them near the training camps up for rock climbers. when they camp out for the night up in the mountains you know. there are many fascinating routes for climbing in to see a switch in the reserve law. they often use the cliff faces in glaciers for training any ascent is always fraught with risk. a small cliff is the best place for training and testing out new gear right. careful as they go down from here. like someone once phones ourselves in an extreme situation though a strong gusts of wind during our ascent visibility was

a mia ten meters in those conditions we couldn't climb down from the top of the mountain or i was a beginner in rock climbing that was my third climb needless to say i was a risk. a wise climber never ventures into the. three climbers is the minimal number. of. summer is the ideal season for challenging. in spring climbers examine the best way to get up the mountains work out new routes and compare. description. we are going to. climb through that snow there and come from the right side through the. shooting rocks there. will see

when we reach the place. let's get going. climbing even to the lower peaks of the mountain range takes no small effort. by. the climbers have to exert themselves to conquer the flat mountain. in accordance with tradition. rock climbers drink tea with bitter chocolate. to help yourself. but you hear what attracts me to the mountains that's the most difficult question i can think of i don't think any climber or fan of extreme sports could answer simply i enjoy rock climbing and the beautiful landscape. on the mountains rapidly and in

spring the weather can change very quickly the climbers need to get fast as possible. mazes received in. their group reached the top at thirteen forty five when beginning of the descend what's the weather like. everything's ok. thanks. of the reserves situated along the buck avoid range where the slopes are steep and rocky some of the peaks are four and a half kilometers above sea level rocks stones in glaciers are scattered all around . discussed the schemers or it is situated in the glaciers melt in a safe gorge. reserve

staff get down to the most important work at the height of the springtime ski season. they're going to release this small bison herd into the wild for the time being the animals graze in a special pen. these bison have lived in captivity since birth the blood of a wild ox by the name of cub because flows in their veins. was sent to a private nursery after being caught in one thousand nine hundred seven by the

russian emperor while on a hunting expedition when all the bison had been exterminated in the north caucasus it was comes cause at the forefront of the restoration of the caucasian bison subspecies. this is a great grandson of theft caused by the name of the dole was born in one thousand nine hundred twenty five that there were as far as i can gather he was the forefather all the caucasian subspecies of the bison in the one nine hundred thirty s. he was taken to us economy in over a soviet nature reserve there he made to do with female biller was by certain that was the origin of a bison subspecies with blood. since early this morning reserve staff have been trying to compel the bison to enter special cages for transportation. during their quarantine period animals became accustomed to their pen and learn to trust people so they're in no hurry to go out in the wild. after several and successful

attempts one of the females is lurd into the cage now the herd will follow suit mice and are known for their matriarchal behavior. come on faster. well done. the bison steadfastly endured their temporary captivity all on their way to their new habitat. the return of caucasian bison to the wild is a joint project undertaken by the north essential nature reserve and the world wildlife fund. there are things ready so we go yes let's go. to the wild graze nearby. it's not yet known whether they'll accept or reject

their newcomers. the forests and the mountains are beyond human influence through. all that's left for the reserve staff to do is monitor the animals and preserve this protected area of the north caucasus. the united states of america is waging war within its own army. joe now advantage is on no one side. and human losses are quite significant. is it possible to win the war against sexual assault in the u.s. armed forces sex in the army on r g.
