trying to tell us to. run to the kennel was toto treat. top stories. in the u.k. parliament votes. students protest an outrage of having to pay for the mistakes of those holding the purse strings. even with unemployment and homelessness in the us of a fifty year. pail. to help. avoid higher taxes. explanation. to defend the baltic states and poland against russia which was revealed. and i'll be back with more on those stories more developments in the meantime spread your

wings looks at the most advanced and extreme ways to fly. but. i've never been like this before. so how does it feel. we did it. these people don't have a runway with powerful engines all that's needed is a steep hillside or a with each with each take off there is always a risk. question of pilots but they proudly call themselves preflight pilots.

in the foothills of the rules a thousand kilometers from moscow. these paragliders have three days at their disposal they have decided to make several flights in different parts of passion. to launch point zero hilltops many paragliders consider the difficulty. so let's say shane called head of the expedition choose a gentle slope to start from the pilots are in a hurry they need to reach another launch point later in the day but i know this you would know this is my first flight today so i feel a little jittery. it's always this way it's first year cancer trembling before takeoff but still this calm is calling us who's here with so once you get it tasted is stronger than. that stuff paragliding infuse e.-s.

like nicholai like i'm a cool weekend pilots he only recently began taking to the skies. in this expedition he has won an important and dangerous to make his first unassisted flight from mountain top. for the time being he's getting accustomed to the sky in tandem with his instructor. were ready for takeoff we're going to get there my instructor is taking care of me. so you see what it's like up here if it's all quiet pull off some aerobatics. oh good lord have mercy on me. when a winch is used to launch paragliders the pilots in tandem depend.

the winch motor further down the slope tragedy may strike at the snaps too quickly the pilots can relax only when the paraglider has gained enough height and the wing is filled with. what you want compels us to fly. the adrenalin no it's not. that we fly like birds that's. all my it's really great thank you. when i was a child. release. when i was a child i used to fly in my dreams. over my hometown. and i really had a feeling that i was flying. sort of feeling i guess when flying apparently no doubt about it that's when you feel your hands are like. everything is beneath you

and everything. only the wing is above you. and you have total power over us that is of course if you know exactly what you're doing. the first flights being troublefree before any takeoff the pilots once again go through a detailed run through of in-flight take meek's on the ground you should be steered up here just carefully assess the situation especially if the weather is six tree and that's arranged dentures in that case you need to act with clockwork for sedition if you panic nothing good will come from your actions you need to be worried only before launch and after landing. so the russians south. before and by the sea. and beginners

this is the place where many. credits the fact that skills. will take up now and will turn left towards the plateau. after that will try to line up. these young men or members of russia's national team of hang glider pilots they head out by early in the morning when the weather around is completely calm. this is the best time for what is known as speed it's a risky but spectacular competition when you're not very close to nature. if you're in the air not in the cabin like a pilot the truth will look at where you feel when you're controlling the balance well you're catching the. your body with your head forward with earth and if you're flying like a bird with a. hang glider as a swept back wings supported on

a rigid frame the pilot controls it by shifting his body. wait in various directions a hang glider can reach a speed of more than one hundred twenty kilometers per hour. speed glider pilots into fly as close to the ground as possible to gain speed. it may look serene from the ground but there's a serious competition going on between pilots they are trying to keep the maximum speed through the. one hundred and one thousand kilometers per hour is a decent speed. this means that the risks are great. just. as difficult. the pilot needs training. not all of them get the nod right away. training is an absolute must for

a regular route let alone speed gliding. this route. the next destination for the expedition is. its food to pay homage to a pilot who was killed in an accident he has several years ago. is blunt and to the point the mountain gives us wings takes away friends in exchange. the free flowing pilots regard mounted as. a convenient and easily accessible point is found at its top but the pilots have to be on the watch during flights. the wind is coming from the valley you mustn't go beyond the rocks into the clouds even. condescend grove down there so we'd have difficulty touching

down the flight path is narrow only about one hundred meters. it's the right. tool for the i flew here in the spring this is a series problematic mountain and there are dangers place in mind you have to be very careful here that if. the weather. take off from the mountain because he is only a beginning. he does allow the failed to go ahead he's experienced and has taken over from the mountains single handed several times before. the full mean my weight right behind my dad oh come on come on be careful great. get into rising near.

the sure. you are full well done rafa and. just get it flying one consonant calm good control of the glider. he had no problem touching. i'm going to join. but look this is lisa already hard time up here in this lunacy. world weather conditions. anybody. but we fulfilled the exercise despite all that.

in paragliding only one in the finals and flights may result in an accident but they are extreme pilots and they often risk their lives. russia's middle and the small time of the volga. a local pilot by the name of alexei machete was one of the first russian pilots to attempt a painter's trick of flying a powered powered lie down under a bridge most people thought we picked up the measuring tape and checked out five different bridges none of them suited our navy. and his friends inspected many bridges before they settled on this one that is situated between the towers of tokyo and some. more suited us marvelously.

high above water on the river flowing underneath gives us more guaranteed a safe flight under the bridge with the rest is a matter of technique. i like say fly something called a power motor which is a traditional powerglide a wing powered by a small. with a propeller attached. to the very simple piece of equipment it has a two stroke engine within a quarter cooling. and a fuel tank and it's completely safe to use. the weather is the main risk factor. should be totally calm the volga river is one of the most beautiful but difficult sights for such flights it is always windy. alexei needs to pinpoint the exact moment when the wind dies down and then fly under the bridge as quickly as possible the motive behind the pilot's bike weighs fifty kilograms if the wing brushes the bridge he will be sent crashing into the water. but when these arab leaders use

a special system to rescue pilots after splashdown it's called. can find it here on the power outlet or. not go through. this system works automatically when a pilot crashes into the water. instantly inflates a big balloon within three seconds with a way to lift him up to safety. as he circles over the bridge aleksei chooses the right moment for the aerobatics the wind has now dropped precision is crucial the gap between the bridge and the water is quite narrow and the gust of wind will push the pot of course. and the glider traveling is sixty kilometers per hour it is in for a rough ride if he hits the water.

like same a shot across stream came true but not before putting his life at risk this is undoubtedly an extreme sport. hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. it won't. bring you the latest in science and technology from around. we've. covered.

early morning in the most scary region an unusual vehicle is driving along the highway it's a three wheeled carriage with a propeller. this aircraft is known as an ultralight trike they are used in russia for forest fire reconnaissance. squad so for a pilot with the emergency ministry special unit has been flying his trike for thirteen years flying isn't a whole b. or a spoof phone but he it's his job reminds us is to do a fly by sector spot fire sources with a theater with you. generally i gather information about. the forest down.

and the wheels of an airplane and steering mechanism of it is reliable convenient and. but is. put together alone so a colleague will always help. people. nearly every year in the region. the fuzz adjust the ground so no one can see the flames just the smoke it's hard to locate the hot spots from the ground but they can easily be spotted from the. pilot always confirms his route one last time before setting out. and then to. the

north. in the northern region. contacts must away. with have to cover one thousand eight hundred square kilometers which is always the area of london the capital of great britain most of the territory is heavily forested. in dream news the locations of the places where for as and most likely to break out and where one can make an emergency landing but is an experienced pilot he always tries to pass over the forest quickly goes lower than three hundred metres above the treetops. is waiting for you to land try and tell him yourself. to find it telling yourself.

offroad i'll tell him. do it. first fires create powerful. they rise sharply and can easily overturn the trike despite the fact that the machine weighs around four hundred kilos only did not see any major fire breaks during his two hour flight safely back to. call a bitch everything's fine. but i got delayed by having a smoke a flight appeared to be forty minutes longer than intended i checked. the trust time called five of the five and sent the trucks immediately. with the. addition is in its third to the weather is more favorable to date i expect it to be

a great day for pilots being sure who will be joining our fellow pilots who'll be flying around in great numbers. tacl will be simply breathtaking. the instructor alexei's said so first he is going to size up the situation in the sky and the strength of the wind. the wind is so strong. that the most important thing is to move forward but that's not happening right now so. i'll release the brakes. and go. brief scramble the pilot studies the wing and soars into the sky. do you think this is typical of summer time earlier this year a pilot covered one hundred kilometers in area. he took off from here first healing dirty in a dynamic current waiting for the arrival of thermal and then it lifted him to

an altitude of want kilometer or even more and then from that point he embarked on the route. alexei radios another member of the expedition to tell him he is cleared to take off when. greets him and both pilots begin soaring. all right now we start soaring. every now and then we go up or down with the wind we fielded beauty and comfort of the flight there is a little turbulence because of the smoke see that's what i'm talking about. let's go to the right it's safer there. meanwhile a third member of the expedition on the ground has been desperately trying to raise

the wing stabilize it and take off but all of his. attempts have been in vain the instructor decides to touch down and fly with nicholai in tandem. flying is it different why it's a life of a bird when flying you look at that you feel are still you are looking at things through the eyes of a bird as if you had wings sensing every tiny wee for fear of the flying gives you incredible excel aeration you must fly by old me in spades. looking back so many of those on the ground think that attended is just for girls. and this is just not true for you but pop over if you fly would like see you will see what a time there is all about yourself. and enjoy his spent three days trying to take off single handed the bad weather and his inexperience helping he can rely only on the instructor. we did and there's some people can keep steady at your landings if

they fall to the ground at the last and not because they're a skier thought they were just carried away by the moment so they sit on the ground a long thing and feeling great as their eyes are dilated but not from fear it's pure euphoria. one of the pilots is back on the ground after completing his flight he is helping alex a nickel deal with the strong winds during takeoff. our speed is seventy kilometers per hour against the wind most of the pilots flying here are weekend pilots professional pilots don't fly here unless they want to practice takeoff or flying in a dynamic current. the northern caucasus is one of russia's best choice for professional paragliders the route from the takeoff point goes through the cegep in the goal which ends at the

main qualification ridge. this is where experienced pilots come to fly. conditions. created by the wind. glider pilots. real interesting flights. only professionals can fly their. conditions. the most experienced pilots to take. strict instructions before. don't go into the gorge. even if the weather is good you are simply not skilled

enough. taking from. within a short time even the tandem of pilots is swiftly lifted in the vertical position by a powerful current. one thousand meters . view reveals a breathtaking. many people overcome their fears and fly over mountain tops in order to see it. the mountainous landscape is a source of inspiration for instruct. him is regarded as a great skill. crazy you.

name is expected. she can. at least once this is the last launch point for members of the paraglider expedition the pilots go to the old food this is been the most difficult to say in three days the weather is getting strong winds and drizzle. is ready for the flight but first of all if he decides to monitor takeoff it is first unassisted flight from this mountain in extreme weather conditions. racing the larger easier number one objective you run toward develop a takeoff on the way i'll be instructed you by radio. and always jittery when i take. ten or twenty such takeoffs. to grant me a smooth flight. to give me and have mercy on the sailor. for

you member everything i taught you to do be careful with the brakes go through the procedure twice or three times. with your control control. let's do it once again who is on board school surface go back to the launch point spread out the glider. grab the controls make a turn run for your life. hold up your hands. keep running don't drop your hands. dancing no get away from the mountain. this is a difficult mountain beginners are not going to take off from it because it's

dangerous. for nicolai he has gone through basic training and he can. well for to take off from this mountain. the paraglider expedition in bash kid has been a success three pilots have been able to take off from that choose to. read it. landscape is real. taste a breath away from the excitement of free flying. and i'm not an experienced pilot yet and i hope everything will be just fine. these mountain tops have been conquered but there is still more free flying in store.
