four thirty am in moscow good to have you with us on our t.v. these are our headlines the u.s. calls for the release of this year's nobel peace prize winner but critics say the pressure to reward a dissident is an example of double standards as washington tries to silence wiki leaks america is under fire from some civil rights groups or it's treatment of wiki leaks and its founder the us has yet to bring charges against those behind the disclosure of diplomatic cables. and donations are cut to the whistleblowers after the u.s. based online gaming companies pull the plug but still leave the door open for extremist groups including the ku klux klan and retaliation supporters of wiki leaks launched a cyber attack that paralyzed the company's operations. and the

u.k. launches a major criminal probe into the student tuition fee riots that saw the country's worst on rest in a decade students spending their anger as m.p.'s voted through measures that would see them paying three times more in to wish it. next our very own travel guide goes on exploration across russia's republic of north. stay with us. i know 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 or frame 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 of minister to the center of the city his 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. 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 it's sort of like a cross between backgammon and draw. and 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 to shop for. 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 tell me often that not 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 two sure something. useful in 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 to my gran when she was. having a hard time now it's fine good. it was becoming more. so i left. to me and moved on to the next stage. was now that you can see

the work has been pretty good. it's possible to embroider this. each unique can sell for up to one hundred fifty dollars but it seems that's not all that silliness company makes. well i thought these were the shooter makes the dolls and she dresses them all by 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 caucuses and if you don't have a don't miss house to put them in some will be just as happy on the teapot. but this is much more than just through a new show each one of these could be a collector's item i'm just wondering if we might find a couple of life size of 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 north a city is mountain rescue teams are always in business. so he's been working here for more than ten years and promised to show me what it takes to be in a city in risky 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 arts of the makeshift here who got. some ski 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 also to help us. to help get him across hopefully safely. but of course the rescuers have got to make it to the other side too. right. but getting a man across a canyon is one of the simplest tasks of a rescue ranger and there are plenty of other obstacles in the way with a room today visiting the mountains during the season it's essential that new ranges are prepared for everything you need to make sure all victim is secure coast. gets a smoother ride as possible and that was where i came in. kind of human. against

the wall. and. i really had the easy job. and i certainly needed a bit of help getting him out of the last. rites. get zero. zero. zero. because. you could see the amount of these guys put in to become. kind of the tough. 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. these. clinics but never hurts. hello. to the tour especially cajun mountain gotos made their home here for thousands of years the highly prized by hunters for their meat and their huge horns they're also smart enough to keep plenty of distance between them and. a 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 sort of though. 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. so 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 i've ever got to following live rounds has been 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. can fire you must aim at first pressing the button to the shoulder. between the eye and the scope should be some seven centimeters. into the sights look if not. then pull the trigger slowly. and fire you probably will.

oh so patiently explain 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 that sniper scope surely my plastic didn't stand a chance. on this program this one i am recording. is going to get right into you shoulda so i don't dislike ac and then squeeze the trigger. a early. enough to rule out building. i completely miss who. the ball is still alive but you know what they say if at first you don't succeed oh ah. ok. yeah

second never saw straight down the middle. oh no you actually hit that. look it's moving that's not fake fox real. come down unfortunately that was pretty much as good as it got but i did manage to hit one other thing before we ran out of bullets. and concrete pillars stern dead. on the mountain goats live to fight another day. 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 set here 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 a row since. this place is called dark gulfs all leaders grange and it's a somber as it sounds. is a local journalist i'm told me and little about its history. this so-called town of the dead is one of the largest nicopolis is in europe in russia. around 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 belong to a different family and the bigger your to the richer you were. to draw a windy climate has kept the bones here in excellent condition some even have tufts

of hair still clinging to the scalp. but you just can't forget how they got here. i can understand that you had to separate the infected from the healthy but i can't think of anything more terrifying. being brought here sick placed among the bodies of your relatives alive and already in your own two. don't go says a fascinating insight into the region's cost history but i can't say i was sorry to leave it behind and i was ready for some slightly less chilling note the setting an attention span. if. he'd feed

me feed the fish feed the. meat.

you could easily spend days sightseeing in the acetylene wilderness but i needed to get back to the capsule valley counts counts and that meant i need his taxi. amazingly even up here in the mountains in the coaxes it can still get pretty good phone reception cause that doesn't help if like me you've forgotten the charge of the thing but 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 it was definitely a. plug in the middle of 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. your regularly how much water comes out anyone 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 the house is as well. unfortunately it turns out that a taxi will even pick you up out here for the right price. i'm going to have as i was ready to check out a different kind of foolish power. there's always been a strong relationship in the caucuses between his horse and here in the set here

it's no different but only the very best roy this get a chance to join the troop. once again please don't bend your knees two legs tied. i like chargers have performed all of the rusher in europe there's no easy ride in this company. i feel good. the ground. underneath 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 and 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.

she's my favorite student she came here after finishing high school school and she's with us yes. now we'll try to show you the course of every horseman. but i mean straight legs sit down softly what you want and james. like a process. i guess i'm a mother i 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 . a question is it. it's like my two best. times everything's fun 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 writers make it seem so i settle for

a quick trial to run the pattern 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 paying to watch it but it suits me just but i think now go go go for your fourth straight legs us line don't bend your name calling again i left a phone here and i like to prepare for that make spectacular i'm back in town i have another appointment time needed 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 at fault i'm going to need some help. this is the house of his old traditional tailors that's been supplying drawing screens

guests for the best part of twenty eight. courses how they're going to stick. each costume is made to order a new detail ispat. the graffiti in these days and ask them graphic national goes to the let them all a grandmother's is used to sweep such golden embroidery and wear this costumes as a wedding. they like to use and i know because it was one of the integral part of the cost you know women used to make centuries is man. it doesn't yes to make one. and there's one other accessory that's always included these are. the four open in the wedding the groom should lead a flank around brights head with three times is in five to five and bottom of the first but those that cleans it as much give the bears to seven healthy boys and

one healthy girl but those same length and then she takes it up but this authenticity doesn't come cheap and oligarchs daughter wants me down the aisle in hundred a. thousand dollars old a creation. of the final stroke class 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 would you not only as a measures. name. but i'll warn. this is the way you quickly find out the horrible tree about how much weight you've put on how many inches said to me does you put them in your dentures or russia. will be just terrible actually glazed look good to me that it's fifty one. and the sleeve is six to so. much as just a bit on my waist also for bonus. with all my measurements recorded is old ladies

got to work on a few days later i was ready to try on my new outfits so i just could have finished adjusting my bullets belt. and the finishing touch to this amazing outfit so. i think i'm ready for some don't sing. finally the big day had arrived john allen's wedding we still had a while before we would you to go and pick up shawna. 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 that's my kind of wedding. to. assess years she means a lot of food and

a lot of toasts. the first ones to go and. the second is to some. numbers three through ten are a bit of a blur. and it's only then that the guests are invited to meet the lady of the day . 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 important the halls of the entire ceremony of the bride is introduced to be oldest much space and members of the prince family sees officially welcomed us because of the company but that doesn't mean that our old relatives are just going to let us leave. this is one way of keeping the bride from being married apparently all these guys have to hold her back and also get them to leave the broader needs to pay for the privilege. to some good old fashioned bribery because we're ready. so the ransom has been paid.

and the girl said get out of the way. and that is the equivalent of an officer here. giveaway of the brides. another round of crazy drawing and one 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 and solemn ceremony but amazingly a lot of jonah happened once but then i noticed that they both slipped out of the main hall. so it goes against all. but brides on our group are actually in the same original the same day of their wedding that is pretty unusual. 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 my innocence on the street. here exceeded my expectations from the beauty of its mountains to the hospitality of its people it's a place i really didn't want to leave it doesn't matter who you all who way you're from come here. and i guarantee you'll feel like you're a home. download

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. fully it's a clash of cultures it's a plus a civilization still we want to go back to the eighth century islamic. or do we
