numbers on the old in various attempts has raised fears over whether the great suffering but global drastically underestimated. up next we will see the hospitality of the people of russia's north caucasus. i've heard great things about north setting you're alone in the people are supposed to be amazingly friendly the scenery breathtaking and the food never ending and it's only a short hop away from moscow just two hours by plane train by its towering mountains the region is home to more than seven hundred thousand people just on the software based in body count counts the areas administrative center and the city is capital city. in russian blood a kind of caste means ruler of the caucasus and the city is decorated with monuments to its proud military history and its culture past and present.
5:32 am
this is going to be my favorite sculpture and. these two gentlemen to play a game of noddy which is the most popular game in the caucuses so sort of like a cross between backgammon and draw. like. i knew i was going to have a busy trip and i wanted to make sure that i picked up a few souvenirs before i set off into the mountains all i needed was a couple of local girls to provide some gift inspiration i think excuse me could you tell me where you bought your shuttles in to shop. in the shop of the ladies pointed me in the direction of the salinas workshop she and her colleagues make handmade a set. following a design that's been popular here for centuries. and first we examine the museum exhibits and till we alter that all our artists on the basis of what we've got to make the kitchen an individual pattern is sketched out and then handed over

to most a seamstress to begin and it's a painstaking process two months work. to make one of these. so who better to teach me the final something. useful of the. everything you know. doesn't mean the needle was going to go where it was supposed to go. she did it i'm getting the feeling that i probably should have paid more attention. now it's fine good. it was becoming more. drop ten. to me and moved on to the next stage. was now that you can see the groundwork has been prepared. it's possible to embroider this. each unique can sell for up to one hundred fifty dollars but it seems that's not all
5:34 am
that salinas company makes. oh i thought these makes the dolls and she dresses them all in national costume. was like walking into a little girl's dream worlds these dolls are all individually decorated and have costumes from a set and other parts of the caucasus and if you don't have a doll's house to put them in some will be just as happy on the teapot. but this is much more than just a souvenir shop each one of these could be a collector's item i'm just wondering if we might find a couple of life size versions of these two anyway. with gift buying sorted i was ready to head into the mountains and the region has plenty of dedicated volunteers to make sure you have a safe trip. you only have to see these amazing views to understand how popular a sport rock climbing is in this area but of course it can also be extremely dangerous which is why he is mountain rescue teams are always in business.
5:35 am
so he's been working here for more than ten years and promised to show me what it takes to be in a city and rescue ranger. we were meeting up with a group of one of the rangers taking their final practical exams in the winter rescuers have to deal with an accident every single day and that can often mean carrying a victim over treacherous terrain. so you can see it's really the some of the makeshift here who got. some steve poles and then the ropes that you would take with you on a normal ski mountaineering expedition and this is what they're using to make this makeshift stretcher. and victim is secure he's going to be moved. through and then once we have touched him. the point man at the front here. and i'll see you help us. to help get him across hopefully safely. but of course the
5:36 am
rescuers have got to make it to the other side too. right. but getting the man across the canyon is one of the simplest tasks of the rescue and there are plenty of other obstacles in the way with. day visiting the mountains during the season it's essential that new ranges are prepared for everything. gets a smoother ride as possible and that was where i came in. kind of human. against the wall. and.
5:37 am
i really had the easy job. and i certainly needed a bit of help getting over the last. rites. get zero. zero. zero. because. you could see. that these guys. could be tough. who's. feeling prepared for any of a long while if the rangers and headed on into the mountains one of my favorite parts of any trip is checking out the local wildlife and i've heard the high up in the peaks here there are some very famous residents. so i'm going in search of the legendary.
5:38 am
these. i don't expect joint never hurts. hello. to the tour a special breed of cajun mountain gotos made their home here for thousands of years the highly prized by hunters for their meat and their huge horns but they're also smart enough to keep plenty of distance between them and. they're pretty coming these mountain goats it's hunting season and they haven't moved from the top of those mountains we wouldn't have been able to avoid. sadly it seemed that that was as close to the torah as we were going to get but there was another skill i had to learn just in case i was ever around here on a very different sort of expedition. there's no getting away from it if you're going hunting you need to be able to handle one of these as the closest all of a got to far in live rounds has been
5:39 am
a game so it's going to show me how to do it. right. there right now. i have never really mixed so understandably i was eager to learn how to best not to accidentally kill myself. but. this is a most in frightful seven point six two caliber real bullets to fire you must aim at first pressing the button to the shoulder. the distance between the eye and the scope should be some seven centimeters. take him into the sights. pull the trigger slowly. and fire you probably wish to talk with you you with. zahra patiently explained the process apparently my rifle dates back to before the second world war so it was about as tried and tested as a firearm could be and with the scope surely my plastic didn't stand
5:40 am
a chance. on this program this one i am really quite nervous about. it's going to get right into shoulder so i don't dislike ac and then squeeze the trigger. and all throughout build up. i completely miss who. don't have the bottle is still alive but you know what they say if it first you don't succeed oh ah. ok. yeah second never saw straight down the middle. oh no you actually hear that. look it's moving it's not fake fights real well so i come down unfortunately that was pretty much as good as it got but i
5:41 am
did manage to hit one other thing before we ran out of bullets. sir. bottles and concrete pillars stern dead. on the mountain goats live to fight another day ever. feeling confident that i would now survive any tourist sneak attacks i left saw and carried on hiking into the hills and when i reached an ancient watchtower i knew i was close to one of the region's most memorable sights. the views here and of the seventy are almost endlessly beautiful but if you come up to the mountains and search for a while you can find a seemingly innocent looking place with the since. this place is cool dotted gulfs
5:42 am
all leaders grain and it's a somber as it sounds. is a local journalist i'm told me a little about its history. this so-called town of the dead is one of the largest nicopolis is in european russia. fifty different families are buried here in the east. three most four hundred years until the end of the eighteenth century living plague victims were brought here by their families and simply left to die. each building belonged to a different family and the bigger your to the richer you were. the drawing windy climate has kept the bones here in excellent condition some even have tufts of hair still clinging to the scalp. but you just come forget how they got here. i can understand that you have to separate the infected from the healthy but i can't think of anything more terrifying. being brought here say placed among the bodies
5:43 am
of your relatives alive and ready to. go says a fascinating insight into the region's history. i was sorry to leave it behind him i was ready for some slightly less chilling. as you watch this tape i can only imagine the fear and the despair that you face for this is being recorded for viewing only after the disappearance of god's people from the earth. well it's a clash of cultures it's a closer civilization still we want to go back to the eighth century islamic law or do we will enjoy the blessings of the bush liberty. really christianity is one of
5:44 am
the only religion i think the only one that actually respects the rights of people . when in fact it is taking place. on the station. and. wait for your moment one of the time and exclaim. god bless you. you could easily spend days sightseeing in the acetylene wilderness but i needed to
5:45 am
. get back to the capsule body counts and that meant plenty to his taxi. amazingly even up here in the mountains in the coaxes you can still get pretty good phone reception because that doesn't help if like me you've forgotten the thing it's even stuck out here in the middle of nowhere that might not be such a big problem. at least if you know when to find an enterprising local engineer to use you not step it. up plug in the middle of the outfits. we have like. using metal salvaged from an old mine and a little help from mother nature action has built his own hydroelectric power station and supplies him in a few lucky neighbors with free electricity and he can crank up the voltage when he likes this is sluice gates. you know regulate how much water comes out anyone
5:46 am
thought. the water flows down the channel and through a two and a half ton turbine which turns an axle and supplies power to the generator meaning actual constantly has more than three hundred volts of electricity on top. how's that for a one man engineering project produces enough electricity his. own work that crane and power another twenty one houses as well. unfortunately it turns out that a taxi will even pick you up out here for the right price. and. as i was ready to check out a different kind of power. there's always been a strong relationship in the caucuses between. us. it's no different but only the very best roy get a chance to join the troop. as. assistant
5:47 am
. once again place your don't bend your knees two legs tight. i like chargers are performed all of the rusher in europe there's no easy ride in this company. i feel good. the ground. game. the whole troop exuding glamour and danger i could see why people would flock to see them perform but what exactly does it take to become a stunt rider. each person has their own story that if you come to a theater above all else i love animals after all i was born in the year of the horse i like whole says this one is i like my with. my is the biggest. lie she is my favorite student she came here after finishing high school school and now she's with us yes. now we'll try to shape the course of every horseman.
5:48 am
but i mean straight legs sit down softly what do you want and james. i guess some of that get off put in writing a few times in my travels around russia so obviously i was moved and ready to take the next step. apparently a full year is the troops most compliant horse perfect for some how much acrobatics . that's a question is it. it's like. the right. time everything's fine it's impossible to fall from that it turns out the doing a press up on a horse is not quite as effortless as alex riders make it seem so i settle for a quick trial to run the paddock much more my style. isn't this civil law or any of this rushing around and leaping out of your saddle. i can't imagine people
5:49 am
paying to watch it but it suits me to spot but i think now go go go for your fourth straight legs us line don't bend your name. or let's define your and i like to prepare for that make spectacular i'm back in town i have another appointment time you need to keep. so that should give you an idea of how friendly the people are here in a setting i've only been there a few days and i've already been invited to a wedding unfortunately my best suit is languishing in a wardrobe back in moscow which means that if i want to look a lot i'm going to meet somehow. this is the house of his old traditional tailors that's been supplying drawing screens and guests for the best part of twenty eight. courses have there are a few steps. each costume is made to order and the detail is spats.
5:50 am
the graffiti in these and them graphic national goes to the let them all a grandma this is used to sweep such golden embroidered loose and wear this costumes as you do when. ever they like to use the mind of a christian was one of the plot of the cost you women used to make centuries is man . it doesn't ask us to make one. and there's one other accessory that's always included these are to. be for opening the wedding the groom should lead a flank around brights head with three times the five and five and bottom of the first. but those that cleans it as much give the bearers to seven healthy boys and one healthy girl but those same lead and then she takes it up but this authenticity doesn't come cheap and oligarch's data wants me down the aisle in a hundred. thousand dollars old the creation. of the final stroke
5:51 am
isn't it beautiful very beautiful but i was in the market for a slightly cheaper option but i was still getting the royal treatment we do vietnam was a measures. i was to name brown. but i'll warn. this is the way you quickly find out the horrible tree about how much weight you put on or how many inches said to me just put them in your dentures or russia. or even it's not a concern but actually it was the good of me that it's fifty one. and the sleeve is six to so. much as disturbing on my wife as us would bonus. with all my measurements recorded is older ladies got to work on a few days later i was ready to try on my new outfits but just couldn't finish adjusting my bullets belt. and the finishing touch to this
5:52 am
amazing outfit so. i think i'm ready for some don't. finally the big day had arrived john allen's wedding we still had a while before we would see to go and pick up shauna. people arrived it became increasingly obvious that i was the only person wearing traditional dress and they were expecting over a thousand guests. so you might think the reception was already begun but you'd be wrong because the point doesn't even made her appearance yet this is just the pre-processing now that's my kind of wedding. to. assess years ponty means a lot of food close of toasts. the first ones to good. decisions to some. number three through town are a bit of a blur. and it's only then that the guests are invited to meet the lady of the day
5:53 am
. she might have already said hello to a few hundred people but jonah's day is only just beginning. as this is one of the most pool halls of the entire ceremony the bride is introduced to be oldest most suspects and members of the prince family sees officially welcomed as paul's a friend. but that doesn't mean that their old relatives are just going to let her leave. this is one way of keeping the bride from being married apparently all these guys have to hold her back in order to get them to leave the broader needs to pay for the privilege. to some good old fashioned broidery because we're ready. so the ransom has been paid. and the girl said get out of the way. and that is the equivalent
5:54 am
of an officer. giveaway of the brides. another round of crazy drawing and horn honking later we were back at the groom's party and it was time for john to be formally unveiled. the whole day have been a constant mix of food don'ts and solemn ceremony but amazingly aligned and joan a happy man once but then i noticed that they both slipped out of the main hall. so it goes against all. of brides and our group are actually in the same reason on the same day of their wedding that is pretty unusual is that all the way from each other. i list the happy couple to it but by then my outfit of the trying to do little attention and i can say i was surprised when i was told to prove such in would innes and adults were.
5:55 am
here exceeded all my expectations from the beauty of its mountains to the warmth and hospitality of its people it's a place i really didn't want to leave it doesn't matter who you are who way you're from come here. and i guarantee you'll feel like you're a home. download the official ulti application to i phone or i pod touch from the i.q. exams to. one job teach life on the go.
