they're fighting a daily battle against prejudice pay me islamophobia is still going strong in the u.s. ten years after nine eleven use of force is a fading to us against arab immigrants. to perhaps take a moment i'll be back with more developments a lesson from now. travels to in western siberia and you can find out how the city surrounded by forests has become one of the country's major industrial and education helps that's in a special report next week. 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 the snow and scale of this but with temperatures dropping sometimes to minus thirty five celsius or minus thirty one fahrenheit in the winter make sure you wrap up. one good thing about traveling in these kind of extreme temperatures as you can expect some real siberian 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 you get. but before we go in here. oh i just. get to say hello welcome to the nature reserve tomsk a piece an accent and decode into allah custom we're treating you with a box cutter welcome. to the show.

rice. pickles some signs a whole milk a little bit. of what is. 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 school so we can still work all year round because there's a lot of kids really like there waiting to see. you. apparently if you're going to be a guest of the forced you need to pack you don't think she's just

a sheepish you know she really hope. 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 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 them on the local school these drawings handwriting to the river to. see the.

kids. go. on 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 very unique painting of cameras past. and they bring fountains of visitors here every year. i think there's six thousand new human history on these rocks but 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 take. 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 now adays the region supplies around sixty percent of the country's coal and on surprisingly they're rather proud of it. the original mining museum has plucks and old equipment from all of kemmer of his pits but without. it might not exist at all yes. or mind. very strong taking a break. but this museum or all but then

he has a great i dream about this museum again until ninety i have lost bicycle rights and go for a camera left to amsterdam the whole of the. yes and sold them off my three to seven thousand scale and it will slow them all of the street or. i want to make a museum or at heel 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 exhibition called the lights in right mind. and. as a commission was built approximately three or four years ago it's really a popular place for canada with children but yes. yes we're going to sell it so

there's a right to get into the spirit because i didn't. ok. there is a bit of a necessity if you are as tallest 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 the twentieth century yes you can see a special box for all you see. and special instruments and if you were. there i was. it's a very old. some pretty authentic 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 two 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 foreign 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 made 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 the ego is going

to have to do a little reconstructive surgery. look at it he's looking at you. i think it's. a little bit of tidying up. he's not blind he might need glasses i think. ok my. eager showing off his work around siberia but his biggest fans are closer to home. my daughter arranged for me to exhibit my works at a fair in canada. 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. as you can see i'm pretty.

i'm not just anyone this is the biggest one in the whole of the country eight million tonnes of coal ground here every single year. before i could make my way to the shown i still had some equipment to come. to pretty essential bits of kit. of course lights. and once everything was properly attached we were ready to head to the lift and literally take the plunge. is the pitch. here. two hundred fifty meters.

this is the rest. of the billion tons of coal down here that's enough to last another seventy years but we had a long way to get to the lake to 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. it's right. it takes the coal out of the sea to the conveyor belt. like a black hole. to cut a slice is eighty centimeters of time and once one side has been thoroughly excavated the whole operation. moves forward. because you know how

it's all exciting. for us that you could say a few examples to crack. it only takes two hours to dig out a train load of coal a 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 at minus. marginal to six most things might be weeks now minus one thing. i've 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. tough so give up and just see the tough job people speak about the day the coalface going to say how does he know that all of. it was time for me to hit the showers but the co was just beginning its journey and its next destination was

a business that's essential to the camera of the region as the mining industry itself. altera. in a backyard of nine eleven we will not allow a much to crop up and then spread all over the country. virtually all terrorists today are muslim do we have the right to make such provoking of statements and a muslim schools have the right to exist. in new york city on our. charge until the israeli defense forces. during his service scorched a street fight. if i even found the colonel of the chilean armed forces

participated and keeping down a military revolt. sergeant in the us army. trying to become an american by getting part in the. ranks and reasons differ but one thing brings them together once they disobey. just a couple of hundred kilometers from kemmerer of a is no because nits 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 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 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 mix stage of the premises. this is where the steel is. the most and mixes with the spark steel and the converting here i don't know light stuff like guy fawkes night. but like you they give you these really. it's a feudal system and. oxygen is added and after a while the steel is ready to be cooled down cost and sliced up. do things by homes here. yeah braz each one of these red hot steel slabs weighs around

twenty tons i want to move in mind up and laid out here it's a clue they could be packed so i sent off to the heavy industry clients around the country and around the. this is definitely reason whether people call and play os but you won't get some of the football stadium on a saturday afternoon because the cold basins favorite sport is a whole different. this is the home of the who's boss 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. far right to. do business so nice to meet you. so this is the good this got you

a ninety day win streak i think so. so listening to it from a surprise to go isn't much of a it's before. you know go sideways. but even if you're not surprised there's always a game going on around here just somewhere. good will this 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 lights ok i'm with the whites the big fan much . 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 nil to the wall i believe there will be. a feature in a school bus if you want to play this game you'll definitely have to work on your cardio pole 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 for woods 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 tree good . 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 ceiling assured me around the factory fool them gave me a quick lesson in biscuit making. visibility 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 and greedy and here is lecithin we should add a little bit here. a little this which i guess is some kind of. cheap stuff ok. to keep. this is sweet production on a massive scale they make nine million of these little wife is here every single day. this reminds me of my very first job. in the

factory and. finally after all these new graduates into the fountain. of the so. maybe homes of the region's most modern factories but no because nets 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 scene fifty seven after a 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. when this fortress was built around two hundred years ago the old city of cousin it school is 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. nowadays the fort and skis 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 still. 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. soon so. now all true 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. it's going to look. good because i'm the head of the tourist office. getting to see all the sites.

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. who is a travel. silly to the boat though. you take a look at where we get a city 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 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. you've got the crabs me all screeching is well it's such a clear and perfect day you can see it out

a thousand kilometers in all directions and easy. 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 mass is distinguished by its clean water people used to live beyond the fields there were forms of the time they had very many cattle it was not far from stock breeding local people when hunting and fishing there were very little blacksmiths many of

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. village he 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 summer. but that's not the only surprise that could be in store from home suspect. family there's more to this cave than just these beautiful stylish tights 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 eight feet told 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.
