now that you're watching on t.v. it's time for the headlines human rights activists are criticizing washington's double standards they claim the u.s. is trying to reinforce itself from people texting freedoms in other countries while failing millions of americans back home. the self-proclaimed republican said for its first parliamentary election really three years after splitting from some of the minority serbs among the whole bain dominated nation holding out little hope of pain points. and with a fall winter head for the homeless

a group of volunteers maybe one that's keeping many in the russian arms a lot. of planning the most going to messy thoughts bring as much needed to the let some people in the streets. next we receive the warm hospitality of the people when russia's north caucasus. i know great things about a 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 on your short hop away from moscow just two hours by plane train by its towering mountains the region is times more than seven hundred thousand people just on the software based on body count counts the areas of minister to the center of the city as 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 board game in the caucuses so sort of like a cross between backgammon and draw. and it looks like. i knew it 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 if you think excuse me could you tell me where you bought your shuttles in the shop. in the shop of the ladies pointed me in the direction of the salinas workshop she and her colleagues make handmade a set of. 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. so who better to teach me the final two sure something. useful in the. everything. 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. so. to me and moved on to the next stage. now that you can see. has been pretty. it's possible to embroider. each

unique can sell for up to one hundred fifty dollars but it seems that's not all that silliness company makes. well what these women here makes the dolls and she dresses them all by national costume. was like walking into a little girl's dream world 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 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 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 beers 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 of thirty 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 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 we've got. some ski poles and then the ropes that you would take with you on a normal mountaineering expedition and this is what they're using to make this makeshift stretcher. and once our victim is secure he's going to be moved. 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 rescuers have got to make it to the other side too. right. but getting a man across the canyon is one of the simpler 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. to make sure all is secure. gets a smooth. came in. kind of human. against

the wall. i really have the easy job it. needed a bit of help getting. rights. get zero. zero. zero. because. these guys have to put in. couldn't talk. feeling prepared for any of a long while if the ranges i'm headed on into the mountains one of my favorite parts of any trip is checking out the local wildlife and i've heard high up in the peaks here there are some very famous residents.

so i'm going in search of the legendary. these. and an expert never hurts. hello. to the tool room especially cajun mountain gotos made their home here for thousands of years. 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 have been in the top of those mountains we wouldn't have been able to board. 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 far in live rounds has been in a game so it's going to show me how to do it. right. now all of us 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. distance between the eye and the scope should be some seven centimeters. into the sights. then pull the trigger slowly. and fire you probably we still think we're doing. 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 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. and then after all that build up. my complete us through. the bottle 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 did that. look it's moving it's not fake bob's

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 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 dark gulfs

all leaders grain and it's a somber as it sounds. is a local journalist and told me a little about its history. this so-called town of the dead is one of the largest nicopolis is in europe in russia. fifty different families are buried here in the east to. 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 than the behavior to the richer you were. 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 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 the seti interventions.

you could easily spend days sightseeing in the acetylene wilderness but i needed to

get back to the capsule valley cash cows and that meant i needed a taxi. amazingly even up here in the mountains in the coaxes it can still get pretty good phone reception of course 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 you not step in if. a plug in the middle of the outfits. we have a life. 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 maybe as with free electricity and he can crank up the voltage when he likes this is sluice gates. you regulate 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 as well. unfortunately it turns out that a taxi will even pick you up out here for the right price. as i was ready to check out a different kind of power. there's always been a strong relationship in the caucasus between his horse and here in the set here it's no different but only the very best roy this get a chance to enjoy the trip. once

again please don't bend your knees to legs tied. i like the guy if charges are performed all of the rusher in europe there's no easy ride in this company. i feel good. the ground. very useful to. the whole troop exuding glamour and danger i can't see why people flock to see them perform but what exactly does it take to become a stunt rider. the us why 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 as i like my would think. is the biggest. lie she's my favorite student she came here after finishing high school school and now she's with us yes. now we'll try to show you the course of every horseman going

at you know. what i mean straight legs sit down softly with your turn james. like a process. i guess some of that get off when 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 . equestrianism. 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 riders make it seem so i settle for a quick trial to run the pattern much more. isn't this fall most. civil law is 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 a funny. straight legs us line don't bend your name. let's define your anomic to prepare for that make spectacular i'm back in town i have another appointment time you get to keep. so this 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 mean somehow. this is the house of his old traditional tailors that's been supplying bryant's great guests for the best part of twenty eight. courses have their distinct style. each costume is made to order and the detail ispat. the graffiti in these days and

ask them graphic nationals to. our grandmothers used to greet such golden embroidery and wave this costumes as you do when. ever they like these at the end of a question was one of the general plot of the cost you women used to make centuries is manual climbing it doesn't dance to make wondrous. 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 them that much give the bears to seven healthy boys and one healthy girl but those same length and then she takes it up but this isn't too. city doesn't come cheap and only go extinct a once me down the aisle in one hundred thousand dollars old the 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. not only as a measures. name. but i'll warn. you this is the way of course you find out the horrible tree about how much weight you put on how many inches said to me to put on your dentures or russia. or even it's just a concern but that's because the good of me that it's fifty one. and the slave is six to so. much as to become my wife also what bonus. with all my measurements recorded is older ladies got to work on a few days later i was ready to try all my new outfits so i just gotta finish adjusting my bullets belt. and the finishing touch to this

amazing outfit so. i think i'm an efficient 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. she means a lot of food and a lot of toasts. the first ones to go and. the second is to some coach. number three through ten are a bit of

a blur. and it's either me 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 for the whole city entire ceremony of the bride is introduced to be oldest much respect to the members of the prince family sees officially welcomed us all as a friend. but that doesn't mean that our 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 and also get them to leave the broader needs to pay for the privilege. to some good old fashioned broidery because we're already. so the ransom has been paid. for the girl said get out of the way. a lot is the equivalent of

a little session. 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 a lot and jonah hadn't met once but then i noticed that they both slipped out of the main hall. so it goes against all. but of brides on our group are actually in the same original the same day of their wedding that is pretty unusual as they call it way from each other if. 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 on the dole still. 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 all who way you're from come here. and i guarantee you'll feel like your own home.
