many american muslims say they're fighting a daily battle against prejudice. still going strong in the u.s. . use authorities are. against and. i'll be back with more news about thirty minutes from now the meantime we travel to america in western siberia you can find out how the city is surrounded by forests has become one of the country's major industrial education that's a special report coming up next here on alt. the camera region is one of russia's great mineral deposits based in southwestern siberia it's stuffed with coal and oil 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 snow and skeel upis but with temperatures dropping sometimes to minus thirty five celsius or minus thirty one firefight 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 so before we go in here. little boring. day i get to say hello welcome to the nature reserve tomsk a piece an accent and decode into all a custom we're treating you with a box cutter welcome. to the show. right. because some things aren't a whole new

a little bit. but if. it well come to my residence don't scare peace in your. eyes. this is fall the 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. quarter. to work all year round because there's a lot of kids really like they're waiting to see. yet. apparently if you're going to be a guest of the frost you need to pack you don't think she has

a shooting. really. i keep telling myself. that you. will. 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 employer 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 hand-writing of the river to. see that.

we can. use. to. go. in. there and come to see this alongside the animals 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 fountains of visitors here every year. six thousand new human history on these rocks you just take a look at the landscape. 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 tick. it's not difficult to see that this is a pretty heavily industrialize zone but there's one industry that stands head and shoulders above the rest here they call this region russia's cold basin and without that there'd be no city here at all. the mining industry really took off for the beginning of the last century and developed during the soviet union nowadays the region supplies around sixty percent of the country's coal and unsurprisingly they're rather proud of it. the original mining museum has pluck some old equipment from all of kemmer of his pits but without. it might not exist at all. or mind so. very strong.

this museum or open on it that he has a great i dream about this museum of ninety and ninety i have both a bicycle. and go for a camera left to amsterdam the whole of the. yes and sold them off my three to seven thousand scale and their slogan on the street or. i want to make a museum red hill nowadays the museum is one of the town's most popular tourist attractions and they've even built their own replicas show. welcome to our museum. there's a new exhibit you like seeing right mind this and as a commission was built approximately three or four years ago it's really a popular place for canada with children but yes that we could see yes we can help it so that our rights have to get into the spirit because i didn't. ok.

there is a bit of a necessity if you are as tall as but david. definitely this is to be sure and here i think this is a commitment exhibition so the exhibition focuses only on hundreds i mean has a selection of old mining safety gear i'm tools so this is i guess there is the twentieth century yes you can see a special box for all you see. and special instruments and if you were low in the. rye. very old. so you offend sic i guess from back in the day. it's even possible to watch footage from the pit back in one thousand nine hundred sixteen and the conditions the men had to endure on the ground. almost a hundred years on the coal industry is still the region's largest exports but not

all the fuel here ends up on the final. 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 fine and detailed 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 makes bets in that he'd never be able to make a sculpture out of coal. 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 and i'm pretty sure that ego is going to have to do

a little reconstructive surgery. look at he's looking at you. i think it's. a little bit of tidying up. he's not blind but he might need glasses i think. ok me. either showing off his work around siberia but his biggest fans are closer to home. it is my daughter arranged for me to exhibit my works at a fair in kemet i bought it and a whole bunch of coal miners thanked me they shook hands with me and i realized that people appreciated my work as somebody who needed it and that what i was doing was interesting. and in this region a minus approval counts for a lot cole is camera of his life blood on the vast majority of it is found in one specific place. oh as you can see i'm about to take

a pretty job first time in a mall just anyone this is the biggest one in the whole of the country eight million tonnes of coal ground here every single year. but before i could make my way to the show i still had some equipment to pick up. two 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. about two hundred fifty minutes to. be considered.

and. this is the. there's more than half a billion tons 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 hour 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 what i felt right up to it takes the coal out of this i don't see 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. moves forward. because you know it's all exciting.

you could say a few examples of a crack. it only takes two hours to dig out a train load of coal i once it's been cut from the old conveyor takes it straight to the factory. and occasionally it's a quick way out for a time. until this is. what we selling this one. i don't even down the pit for a short time but there's no avoiding the water and the cloying dust and it was a relief to get back out into the sunshine. so give up and just see the tough job people speak about the day at the coalface going to see how did they know that. it was time for me to hit the showers but the co was just beginning its journey and its mixed destination was a business that's essential to the camera of the region as the mining industry

itself. ushers that so much of me is going to make a lot of people in. the world's most important international body a dysfunctional global organization the united nations is often criticized. children now see how thousand. elementary school two hundred thousand violent acts by the age of eighteen from movies to television shows to video games to children. twenty four hour news channels aggression is now. every day. a staple. in. shakespeare. good to see but i have to. think that god came down from heaven and stopped.

what you were makes the pill easier to swallow. everybody was come. just a couple of hundred kilometers from kemmerer of earth is no because knits and it's a journey from coal county to steel city. the universe is one of the fifteen largest steel mills in the world and has russia's lowest production costs. everything is watched over 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 to go and and from that you can get steel. this is a real river of bun and it runs down into a series of huge cold returns ready for the mix stage of the producers. and this is what this field is all the most and mixes with the spirit to you and the converting here i don't know lights up like guy fawkes night. but like you they give you these really. say this but. also jim is added and after a while the steel is ready to be cooled down cost and sliced up. two things by holmes here it never as each one. these red hot steel slabs weighs around

twenty tons once they move in mind up and laid out here it's a clue they could be packed up and sent off to the heavy industry clients around the country and around the. this is definitely reason whether people call and play on but you won't get some of the football stadium on a saturday afternoon because the cold places favorite sport is a whole different ball game. this is the home of the cruz bus banditti it's a cross between football and i still keep 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. a far lower it's a. good business so nice to meet you. so this is the good this got you a nineteen game win streak i think so. a little so listening to him some will

surprise the guys that much of it's before. that. go sideways boy. but even if you're not surprised there's always a game going on around here somewhere. really well this should be interesting bundy a spool they play outside in siberia in the winter. wish me luck. this looks like it might move i sort of started possibly. james his mystic and the team playing for the whites ok i'm with the whites but big fan much . me it's the to start with i was a little hit and miss but after running around for a while my deadly accuracy soon became apparent. one. will to do was i want their children. who

are featured in a school bus if you want to play this game you'll definitely have to work on your cardio just have a go between the sticks. really reminds you of school you know who's put me in. it was clear i was a natural fool it's well you have to try and impress the manager think oh. so what do you think of that coach that was fine great girl where are you treat your. 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 are they were made here things change and now let's

try to do that by ourselves let's do it direct to you lynn assured me around the factory fool them gave me a quick lesson in biscuit making. disability and competently help make a bit of the feeling. we need. to start off with yes . that is the let's put it here at this second ingredient here is lecithin we should add a little bit here. a little this which i guess is some kind of. cheekily stuff. to keep everything and. this is sweet production on a massive scale they make ninety million of these little wife is here every single day. this reminds me of my very first job. in the

factory a thing that. finally. graduates into the chocolate fountain. maybe home to the region's most modern factories but no because now it's also retains a strong link with its past and walking through some of the city suburbs can be like taking a trip back in time. the street is a real snapshot of 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 fifty seven after long courtship the famous russian writer federal ski married his great love and first wife maria. 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. i just 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. the fort and 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 so.

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. so. annoyed 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 sliver of it's going to look. because i'm the head of the tourist office. getting to see all the 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. now being on the back of a snowmobile is all well and good. but really i couldn't wait to take the controls myself. what a way to travel. silly to the boat and. you take a look at where we get to be pretty obvious well the coolest place the cowboy. the very top of the mountain is most by a huge steel cross and it's the best view of them all. now this is what i call living the high life we're about fifteen hundred meters up here over there you can see the outside region and over here. we've got the crabs we are screeching is 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 a nearly thirty years until the pool to 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 forests here for more than a thousand years. was is here we are james this is the most beautiful landscape in these parts of his called go to. there is a river down there only about two hundred meters from here is called the man us is distinguished by its clean water people used to live beyond these fields there were foreigners in the time very many cattle it was not far from stock breeding local people when hunting and fishing there were very little blacksmiths men in the tribes 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 on the style of toilets and stuff like mines that can last well into the someone. but that's not the only surprise that could be in store for an unsuspecting torched. family there's more to this cave than just these beautiful style of tights that are 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. eight feet told harry sounds remarkably like big for to me. but. he's supposed to live in this cave if you see here. very good luck sir. i mean really.

the monster 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. the system is. the c.d.c. . in atlanta. since.
