the problem here is that you think all the countries have equal say like they're supposed to do no i don't i don't really think as morris that i think the united states of america why but that bad well they've got that go to all the power in the world have got the money they've got the influence money talks are a on each orks and i don't anything no matter who i mean for the common people you know it but it will come on the streets or whatever i mean what are they going to do for us you know it's just more or less you know they get in face time and they're going to be like oh yeah we did this do that or whatever but it's nothing if we all stopped believing in that water what's really the other option i guess i mean if martin luther king said you know it is the i have a dream or it's avenue i nightmare yet a dream so i think that what we all hope for is that we don't have that fatalistic view that we hope there's always a possibility to change the bottom line is that the un's agenda is important to the peoples of the world whether or not they're actually able to do anything about it

remains to be free and until then we've got a lot of traffic. we're going to take a short break here on arts and i'll be back with headlines. every

month we give you the future the best in science and technology from across russia and around the world. join us. on our jeep. with. this data data generated from an electrical grid. you can do to do it in california potential terms of energy sources for simplicity. let's go to some article.

here with our team live from moscow and look at our recent headlines so we didn't parliamentary election strain of a conference democratic traditions with kind of the small far right party claiming they've been a top ten tonight in the spin. weights a decision on the extradition of one of its most wanted terror suspects from poland where he was detained on friday but later agreements. and russia and norway reached a milestone agreement on their borders in the energy rich parents see putting an end to a forty year old. next starting travels to one of russia's natural wonders the nature reserve that's an earthly paradise for more than one of the half million birds stay with us. the folded delta place with a multitude of islands but not

a speck of giant land where you just jump into the boat and off you go to wherever you want for centuries this delta was where russians falling for black caviar giant fish can be found their way over to told man were holding up a catfish part of its tail was half a metre long number of birds here in spring and autumn runs into the millions of this place has occurred. they're lucky to have these islands you can easily lose your way in this tangle of beautiful plants to see how water sparkles on these leaves coming across turtles bathing in the sun the only a few metres from where you live is not something out of the all three of the delta wilds is just a few steps away from civilization. and strand is a city in russia's south it has a kremlin made of white stand another symbol of the city is the swoons that live in

the pond in the center this one stayed there all the year round but most of all the people of astrakhan the proud of the volga river russia's most famous river drains into the caspian sea in the astrakhan region. from above it looks as though the deep river runs into an obstacle one hundred thirty kilometers from the caspian sea there it splits into hundreds of small narrow channels this area is known as the volga delta it's almost a triangle shaped most of its territory covered with water. to go from bastrop and south which you'll soon see feels totally missed in. maine treasure delta fish come here to spoon. fish attract migrating birds more than one and

a half million beds of three hundred species come here the spring and autumn it's the centuries people from all over luscious south that come here to fish and hunt unfortunately that many species perished as a result. more the at that time women like to dress up they hatch with feathers hair and fat as well very much invoke the heron only has five feather is on its head so its thousands of parents were killed in the name of fashion while pelicans were opposed by the million to make ornaments. in the early twentieth century the volga delta was a desolate place a special expedition that came here from moscow in nineteen twelve found no trace of it the swans or pelicans. urgent measures were needed to save the deltas natural environment to the nine hundred seventeen socialist revolution the government decided to create a nature reserve here. at the ball and there was

a civil war at the time the countries coffers were empty and the future was unclear that's what the situation was like when they started to create a nature reserve in the balkans out. it's hard to reach the reset for a master it's a hundred kilometers through flooded fields and the ferry to the other bank of the volga. there's a fifteen kilometer stretch of dirt road once you've reached the end of it you don't need the car anymore you have to take a boat because there's not much ground from all the way to the caspian sea. if you. reach the boundary of the nature reserve everywhere there are signs prohibiting entry and hasn't found trespassing can be punished by google. in all fairness such strict measures produced posted for exults soon after the nature reserve was founded. here with news that we begin with the first one ness were

found here and the first terran colonies were discovered in the reserve as well as a lawyer that's cool retains the harry detrich code of subsequent generations the queer gets good book. auntie fishel islands are the only spots of drawing down of the house ranges and dogs with their families. scientists doing research they hit too. early in the morning on the phone to just dimitri bone the ref and ranger rat to beg off set out on an expedition to make a record of the birds in the reserve all right let's go today to the secret channel to see what's going on there and over the world how high the water is we'll look at the tide marks yes we'll check them in. the toy box in the river charles act as natural measuring for the stuff. as ranges make the

rounds of the reserve they're supposed to see whether the tide box have been washed away is difficult to see though from the boats if they are secure enough. they make the rounds once a month during high season each time they follow the same route. in the fall or just puts down the description of each bird he sees in the notebook. the data is then processed and entered into a fifty year old book chronicling the state of the natural environment. everything is put on record even the first groping over from for example the first turtle emerging from the water just some date and the first crossed snakes sneaking out of its hideout the first darling the first night the for. as swallow the sun when baby birds start to leave their nests is also noted.

the white tailed eagle is one of the biggest birds of prey in the astral and nature reserve. these birds have a wingspan of up to two in the hof meter. the white tailed he who is the fourth biggest bird in europe birds of the species in the volga tells him mostly feed on fish they either catch the fish themselves or grab them from other birds such as camarines. sometimes they call she'd cormorants by pretending to attack them when you normally they don't go out or cormorants but as soon as they sense danger they drill each down to fish and get out of the way as fast as they can eagles get the prize crown on their arrival so they to try to pick up the fish in other words white tailed eagles and crowns live off the cormorants. white tailed eagles are not as common in any

other area of russia as they are in the volga delta. so say one of the largest habitats for these birds in the world. about two hundred eagle pairs nests in the reserve alone. european only come to astra and for the expressed desire of watching them in the wild. of nearly of nobody minute once a visiting german cameraman was so thrilled by doesn't white tell the eagles flying overhead that he told the drama to hong kong there and then started filming them when i told him that fine white tailed eagles were nothing out of the ordinary he said only a few such eagle's nest in his country all of them in germany had been recorded and . certified there were under constant observation. in

recent years people with cameras have been exploring the under part of the delta. they feed off of fish biologists and even though it's an underwater camera. they go to one of the remove channels. and clear ideal conditions for. nearly sixty fish species in habits of all the data including. their famous for their black caviar. is a total ban on fishing its employees are only allowed to use fishing rods even the local people their interests are fishing. but i can't show how big it was even if i spread my arms to the limit imagine this tall man holding a catfish while part of its tail about half a metre long is on the ground. during high water the fish move to the flood plain

to spawn it's here that baby fish scramble out of hard. receding water takes them back to the river. both fry and fish come here after spawning the warm water stimulates underwater vegetation this is a comfortable place for the young it's like a kindergartner. for the time being their own new fish in this aquatic nursery so the cameraman switches his attention to the plants. occurring is fairly strong here it seems this tangle. services are filter purifying the water flowing through it. as a result it becomes clear. when i go down there i clearly see that the read the bottom and the seaweed are all covered with mud.

even in the summer that clear water makes it possible to see that the seaweed is so thick it looks like a forest. but also find there. some of the most beautiful flowers in the. what's much here you can see above gradually from the water the interesting thing about water lilies is that they conceal themselves under water during the night and at dawn onto the water surface to bloom again. says the most famous plant of the delta. a few decades ago the sacred symbol of the buddhists took up nearly a quarter of a hit. today to occupy twenty nine thousand. what. this is a lotus leaf in its boil the water will slide down like mercury in trough these

reddish leaves differ significantly from the others look at how these leaders sparkle of. this considered a symbol of purity and in lighting meant. disbelief to help people understand the origin of their desires and reefs tiredness sharpens the senses and even provides protection from evil forces. to the persian to think of the last meal lotuses makes you think you are in the persian shop you. read some of the most common plants and of all the delta they grow all the over the place have any of the deltas islands are in fact nothing more than a fifth of reeds growing in shallow water. some of them can even grow up to six

metres in height. motorboats can't go too far off without damaging its crew propeller. fortunately the warden you know you can easily lose your way in a rethink it it's not like a forest here you can tell where north especially if the skies over cost and the stars are nonphysical and rethink its constraint for many many kilometers from the queue. the noise of an engine is heard from a far it's there's peace and quiet it signals that there's a trespasser in the area the ranger immediately calls based with the gods. a few minutes later a rat finds coaches next to one of the ring dominance dimitry there is a net smith. oh yes i see it. the net is full of

fish most likely it was last checked a long time ago. the bulk of the fish are dead. great may have killed them all. they then sets the surviving fish free. zone of the kind of fish is it anyway shall we let them go dimitri yes sure. the boat continues on its way to more and that's a found there by the ranger called space again l.o.l. oh there he did it there are three nets here again so shall i remove them right i'm going to do it right away. empties one of the nets and leaves it in place god's will come here in the evening to ambush the poacher. in the evening while decent parents descend on the area. here has little fear of

humans they know from experience that they will not be disturbed while they're in the reserves which is why there are so many. in these head. to visit them in the movie. the. sergeant of the israeli defense forces. during his service scorched a street fight. colonel of the chilean armed forces participated in keeping down a military revolt. sergeant in the us army. trying to become an american by getting part in the. ranks

and reasons differ but one thing brings them together once they disobey. our stuff we are going to come back. we'll sell lots of raw faith will wear uniforms that will damage is a black man know that but very little damning to what. they are the key to our problem.

the morning school confederates the voters. that don't want to get to a faraway lands to inspect its coburn. colony. is the most common in the delta. number of complaints here runs into hundreds of thousands. to cover schools of kilometers such a fish the staple food. but here their prey can be found everywhere the delta just moments too willing to sit back on his head. this claim is considered to be a fairly young one it appears only forty years ago. today numbers about fifty thousand nests. thinner and less look like round things thirty to forty centimeters in diameter these shallow funnels are made from treaty packed reeds. one

trees might be home to schools of nests. on scorching hot days and old birds on the edge of the nests flapping their wings these are cooled down they also make sure that their hatchlings are kept out of the sun through a through and through the baby birds learn how to fly an interim. at that time flocks of call mercer spectacle on a par with a hitchcock movie. cameron sent perkins often go to fish to get a pelican stay all this common in the reserve. just where we often feed together one of the sports are sure to begin circling over it. calm they also want their share. you would be hard pushed to find pelicans in the delta . these very cautious beds nests as far away from people as possible.

to see pelicans you would need to enter the area. with a focus. it's the caspian sea. i have it looks like a nature most of. us it's still part of the river here it stretches two hundred kilometers wide. flood waters right now are about one point four meters deep at other times the depth is between a meter and one point two meters this is the middle of the delta there are a lot of fish year because of the river of the thoroughly warmed by the sun there is a wealth of vegetation and a good deal of food for fish and birds down there. back in the nineteen fifties there were one thousand five hundred pelicans.

since then that number has dropped to five hundred. it's very difficult to spot a colony of pelicans in the field creed's. they spend an hour. before the boat runs into a pelican colony. baby birds hatched a short time ago. at the. colony was here forty years ago but then they disappear it has been grown in the past four years in the beginning there were only five nast's then forty and now we have one hundred. pelicans look very. they have. short sea clicks and their tail is visible. less many religions with than the sacred animals

muslims believe that a pelican brought students for the construction of mecca and its bill. and in europe the pecker is a symbol of parents who love legend has it taken so rich their chest certainly that piques to feed hungry babies with blood. bulletins play with each other only for the duration of one season build their nests in the reeds tickets. at first so i say look like a child of god twigs. there are two or three baby birds to invest the born blind to make it. does starts to grow seven days later after ten weeks they can fly.

there are only a handful of them are here and we try not to disturb them if we can help it we do keep records of them but we don't do any detailed research. even the gods make a point of not approaching islands with pelicans and nesting in fact the gods live in floating cabins when they visit the ivan delta they stay there for only three days at a time. have you seen many pelicans nicholai there are about a hundred nast's here any grown ups there are some but others are still very young . compared to pelicans there are thousands of swan nests in the delta. in the last century the swan population is rapidly shrinking due to the hunting.

sit cannot fly so temperatures will take that opportunity to cram them into next. beat them with sticks. now that catching swans is prohibited the population has started to increase. in the fifty s. only five pairs of swan nested in the ball delta but now the numbers have gone up hundreds of times over us well. this one this season is a symbol of devotion as it was thought that once pet they stay together for knife. as soon as they settle down in a large plot and start building tests as a rule other birds anywhere nearby might welcome.

people because they're one of the appearing nesting season the female seats on the nest while the male swims around to guard against intruders. swans are very strong birds they don't like the presence of other birds especially glee's sometimes swans even when she skis out from a shared habitat. movie there are five to seven eggs in a swans nest. or something frightens them that they leave their nests. crews often use this tactic to steal the eggs. or get the a couple of always accompany motor boats when they reach the end of their section they hand over the boat to another couple of grounds the man in the boat is to preoccupy its noses when the boat approaches the nest the noise of the engine

scares the bird away. to get into the nest just steal the eggs as a result the sets this room and. i struck a new service called the floating venice of russia for its calm and beautiful nature. people come here every year to find a quiet place under the sun and in the peace. of the dusk descends on the river maybe duck enough to see a spectacular sea flux of swans flying into the sunset. i am.

fixed for. fifty. five. can. keep. it.
