i guess. that's it for now from all of us here if you want to have your. or you have something. that's it for now we'll be back tomorrow with more comments on what's going on in and out and. take.

well it's a. hell of a. really really emotional in the region country club so feeling sure to find this piece of the finished her book. switzer told. me not to come. this is all see the headlines. rationalize breakers have begun the rest hill for a show for the first of a plate of chips by only some of the country's far east coast some five hundred people are believed to be stranded in this appalling day with weather conditions worsen it. comes from the line in cyberspace the israeli army is trying to control its military elite as one of generation of soldiers post secret contacts and pictures on social networks. of washington suns hundreds of billions of dollars

abroad to maintain it's we would have got to stand up so say much of that money would be better spent after. the steam travels to the city of teller in western siberia so don't mean sow discovering russia series will report on how the city has surrounded by forests has become one of the major industrial and education in the country. the camera region is one of russia's great mineral deposits based in southwestern siberia it's stuffed with coal and iron ore which supplies heavy industry around the country but it's there's plenty of whites to go with the black the region also borders some stunning mountain ranges and is a mecca for the snow and scale of this but with temperatures dropping sometimes to minus thirty five celsius or minus thirty one foreign fights in the winter make

sure you wrap up with. one good thing about traveling in these kind of extreme temperatures as you can expect some real sudbury in hospitality and one camera of a nature reserve definitely lays out the welcome we wanted to see a real scene of siberian winter i guess this would be about as picture perfect as it gets. before we go in here. again for say hello welcome to the nature reserve tomsk a piece an accent and decode into all a custom we're treating you with boxcutters welcome to. the show. right. because of him sign to hold me off a little bit. and

what if. it well come to my residence don't scare peace in your. eyes. this is father frost who did models in russian might give it away but he's russia's equivalent of santa claus there are no right. here but we do have a one. school so i think you have to work all year round because there's a lot of kids really like they're waiting to see you. yeah they are. apparently if you're going to be a guest of the frost you need to pack you don't think she's just a sheepish you know she will really hope. i keep

telling myself how. much you. will do will be. to get my presence here pretty. soon feel like i've been a good boy this year. i actually did have a serious reason for visiting this reserve and it was down on the stones below. the russian empire gained a foothold in this region a little more than four hundred years ago but people have been living in this area for thousands of years and they've left their mark the locals call these drawings of the river to. see that. we can't.

go. in. their life hunting serial this alongside of the animal so you can make out ships and bronze age symbols of the song which was worship body ancient indigenous tribes their unique painting of cameras past. and they bring thousands of visitors here every year don't believe. six thousand years he would history. these rocks when you just take a look at the landscape here. and you can think this is view. really hasn't changed much. but this kind of peace and tranquility is the exception rather than the rule and once you step into the city itself you can find what really makes this place take. it's not difficult to see that this is

a pretty heavily industrial zone but there's one in the street that stands head and shoulders above the rest here they call this region russia it's cold basin and without but that you know city here at all. the mining industry really took off for the beginning of the last century and developed during the soviet union now adays the region supplies around sixty percent of the country's coal and not surprisingly they're rather proud of it. the original mining museum has plucks an old equipment from all of kemmer of his pits but with me here it might not exist at all yes. or mind so. very strong. this museum or. only that he has a great idea about this museum of ninety and ninety i have lost

bicycle. and go for around canberra left to amsterdam the whole and. yes and so long off my. seven thousand skeletor slalom on the street or. i want to make a museum red hill nowadays the museum is one of the towns most popular tourist attractions. they've even built their own replicas show off to. welcome to our museum this. new year exhibition the lights in right mind us and there's a sense of mission was built approximately three or four years ago it's really popular place for canada with children but yes we did say yes we're going to sell it so there's a right to get into the spirit because i've been generous. ok. there is a bit of a necessity if you are as tall as but david. definitely better to be sure and here

i think this is a commitment exhibition so the exhibition focuses only early nineteen hundreds i mean has a selection of old mining safety gear m tools so this is i guess they're really twentieth century yes you can see a special box for all you see. and special instruments and if you were along with. the ride. it's a very old. search for you if any sick i guess from back in the day. it's even possible to watch footage from the pits back in one thousand nine hundred sixteen and the conditions the men had to endure on the ground. almost a hundred years old in the coal industry it's still the region's largest exports but not all the fuel here ends up on the phone. igor smirnoff has a much more creative use for it he claims he's the only coal sculptor in the world

it's amazing to think you can create something as following in detail as this out of such a fragile and the tourist difficult tiriel to work with but without a little incentive from a friend none of these might be here at all one of the goals made bets in that he'd never be able to make a sculpture of cole. he didn't put too much money on. his work ranges from fantasy pieces to portraits of the saints and he's quite happy to give lessons to. do less work on a design. this is such a tricky material to work with the coal is coated with a special glue to stop it shattering but with every stroke of the chisel i was afraid i was going to chop the bear's head off pretty sure the eagle is going to have to do a little reconstructive surgery. look at it he's looking at you good. i

think it's. a little bit of tidying up. he's not blind he might need glasses i think ok me. he has shown off his work around siberia but his biggest fans closer to home. it is my daughter arranged for me to examine my works at a fair in canberra bonnet and a whole bunch of coal miners thanked me they shook hands with me and i realised that people appreciated my work as somebody who needed it and that what i was doing was interesting. and in this region our miners approval counts for a lot of coal is camera of his life blood and the vast majority of it is found in one specific place. as you can see i'm a pretty. first time and i'm not just anyone this is the biggest one in the whole of the country eight million tonnes of coal comes out of

the ground here every single year. but before i could make my way to the show i still had some equipment to come. to pretty essential bits of kit. and of course light. and once everything was properly attached we were ready to head to the lift and literally take the plunge. this is the pitch. here. two hundred fifty mates to. be considered. this is the mine there's more than half

a billion tonnes of coal down here that's enough to last another seventy years but we had a long way to get to the latest see. the miners work six shifts in tights cramped conditions but they're using some of the most sophisticated equipment in the world and it's so simple to understand anyone can operate it. this is. something that takes the coal out of the safety of the conveyor belt. like a black hole. because a slice is eighty centimeters of coal at a time and once one side has been thoroughly excavated the whole operation. moose phone would. because it's all eccentric. russet you could say if you examine all the crap. it only takes two hours to dig out

a train load of coal i once it's been cut from the old the conveyor takes it straight to the factory. and occasionally it's a quick way out for a time i have mine a. little this is. a monkey we're following this one. but only been down the pit for a short time but there's no avoiding the water and the clawing dust and it was a relief to get back out into the sunshine. so get up and just see the tough job people speak about the day at the coalface going to see how did they know that all of. it was time for me to hit the showers but the cold was just beginning its journey and its mixed estimation was a business that's essential to the camera of a region as the mining industry itself. culture is that so much in common with me is going to make

a lot of people here yeah but when is it the world's most important international body or a dysfunctional global organization the united nations is often criticized. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. china operations are today. just a couple of hundred kilometers from kemmerer of a is no because next and it's a journey from coal county to steel city. is one of the

fifteen largest steel mills in the world and has russia's lowest production costs. everything is what starboard from an air conditioned control room but down on the factory floor things really start to heat up there's no problem with the siberian winter if you work in a place like this now this should give you an idea of what this region is really all about the ground here is full of iron ore and coal and if you put those two together a hell of a lot of heat you get pig iron and from that you can get steel. this is a real river of oil and it runs down into a series of huge cold rings ready for the mixed stage of the pressures. and this is where this field is for the most and begun mixes with the spark to you and the converted here i don't know lights up like guy fawkes night. quite like here they give you these really. safe to spot it.

all to do is added and after a while the steel is ready to be cooled down cost and sliced up. do things by homes here ever as each one of these red hot steel slabs weighs around twenty tons once they move in mind up and laid out here. they can then be packed off and sent off to the heavy industry clients around the country and around the world. this is definitely reason whether people work and play on but you won't catch them at the football stadium on a saturday to move because the coal. basins favorite sports is a whole different. this is the home of the cruz bus banditti it's a cross between football and always smoky and it's hugely popular. so the top team in the country and many believe it's all down to head trainer andre. this is.

far more it's. good business so it is nice to meet you. so this is the good this. win streak i think so. so listening to him that will surprise the guys that much of it's the full. go sideways ball. but even if you're not surprise there's always a game going on around here somewhere. good will be interesting bundy a school they play outside in siberia in the winter. wish me luck. this looks like it might mean i sort of. possibly. james his the stick and the team playing for the lights ok i'm with the whites the big.

limits the to start with i was a little hit and miss but after running around for a while mike deadly accuracy soon became apparent. one mill to the wall right there was. a featured explore. if you want to play this game you'll definitely have to work and you call the whole gist of the go between the state. who's really reminds you of school you know. it was clear i was a natural for well you have to try impress and. the manager think you know who. you are. so what do you think of that coach that was fine great girl where are you treat. physical exercise it was definitely saw him for an

unhealthy snack. and it turns out that this region produces some of the country's favorites. this is the home of the k.g.b. biscuit factory and if you're munching on a chocolate or just a cake in russia the chances they were made here things change and now let's try to do that now let's do it direct to you lynn assured me around the factory fool gave me a quick lesson in biscuit making. disability he had counted simply. a bit of the feeling. we need. to start off with yes. that in the next minute he entered the second grade and here is less of fame we should add to. this which i guess is some. cheap stuff. to keep.

this is sweet production on a massive scale they make no you million of these little wife is here every single day. how this reminds me of my very first job. back into the. finally roll these new graduates into the chocolate fountain. from a database of files. maybe home to the region's most modern factories but no because knits also retains a strong link with it's paul i'm walking through some of the. city suburbs can be like taking a trip back in time. the street is a real snapshot of know because netscape history things really haven't changed here in the last hundred fifty years and over here might just be the most famous building. of the whole system.

in a scene fifty seven after a long courtship the famous russian writer federal dostoyevsky married his great love and first wife maria asylum in this city they lived here in this house for just twenty two days and now it's a museum and a monument to the people of this mess i do the writer and his wife took a romantic stroll they might well have come to look over the city from its old military fort. where this fortress was built around two hundred years ago the old city of course knit school still a popular rating point for bandits and also an important trading route so these guns were designed to keep the caravans moving and the raiders out. her days before and dostoevsky's house have a steady stream of visitors but most of the tourists here have a different destination in mind. so the cosmos region is

a place of heavy industry but once you get past all the coal in the eye and you don't have to come too far and you've got yourself a little mini version of the alps. a four hour drive from the because minsk and you're into perfect ski conditions and some of the region's most beautiful. apparently the most spectacular views are at the top of the green mountain just just up here and it's really only one way to get. now on troy and snowboarding once before in russia but suppose going to get the most out of this trip i thought i'd better have a slightly more reliable means of getting around. me that it is cool just up here and fortunately i've got a friend who's going to be able to show me around a little bit better and he's got

a rather special little snow but it's going to look. good because i'm the head of the tourist office. getting to see all sights. and the mountains they are all very beautiful places. but it was ok. if you want to get around up here this is by far the quickest and easiest way to do it is. now being on the back of a snowmobile is all well and good. but really i couldn't wait to take the controls myself. who is a travel. ciliates in the bodo. you take a look at where we get a city pretty obvious well the coolest place. the very top of the mountain is most by a huge steel cross and it's the best view of the mold. now this is what i call living

the high life we're about fifteen hundred metres up here over there you can see the outside region and over here. we've got the crabs we are screeching as well it's such a clear and perfect day you can see it out a thousand kilometers in all directions and easing. i didn't have long left in the camera the region but there was still time to meet a bit of a local celebrity before i went home. well larry has been the local sheriff if i'm nearly thirty years until the forty's snowmobile back in two thousand and five he used to patrol this whole territory on skis. he's from the short sea troy indigenous people who've lived in the mountains and forest here for more than a thousand years. was is here we are james this is the most beautiful landscape in these parts is called. there's a river down there only about two hundred meters from here is called the met us is

distinguished by its clean water people used to live beyond the fields there were foreigners in the time they had very many cattle was not far from stock breeding local people went hunting and fishing there were very little blacksmith men in the tribes who were nomads shifting from one place to another. and valarie took me to see one of the most stunning pieces of the region's natural architecture. realty has been visiting this cave since he was a boy every winter the water forms always stolid toit's and stuff like mine it's the last well into the someone. but that's not the only surprise that could be in store from home suspect. family has more to this cave than just these beautiful style of types that have formed over here a short sea have a legend about this place they talk about a shadowy figure called the mosque or of the mountain is supposed to be about eight

feet tall and harry sounds remarkably like big for to me. but. he's supposed to live in this cave if you see him. very good luck sir. i mean really. the master of the mountain was keeping himself to himself and it was time for me to make my way out of this strange and diverse region with a halt of cold. wealthy british style.
