to get a job despite easing is brocade. and washington is getting ready for another two years of divisive political struggle as the one hundred twelve us congress is sworn in with republican majority the party is making big promises about spending cuts and hopes to derail what it calls president obama's big government program. right now wrap up warm as the next all he travels to western siberia and the kember of a region so we'll need the local version of santa claus and play some hokey russian style is that. 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 is thirty one fire heights 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 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 you get. before we go in here. plus you. get to say hello welcome to the nature reserve tomsk a piece an accent and decode into all custom we're treating you with boxcutters welcome. to the show.

right. because of inside to hold me off a little bit. and what is. 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 we can still work all year round because there's a lot of kids really like they're waiting to see. yes 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 shooting you know really. i keep telling myself how. much 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 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 come draw and sing to the river to. see the.

kids. it's. really fun 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 thousands of visitors here every year don't believe. six thousand years he would history. these rocks then you just take a look at the landscape here. and you can think this is new. 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 but this is a pretty heavily industrialized but there's one industry that stands head and shoulders above the rest here they call this region russia's coal basin and without butts that we 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 on surprisingly they're rather proud of it. the real mining museum has pluck some old equipment from all of camera has pits but. it might not exist at all. or mind so. very strong.

this museum or. that he has a great idea about this museum again until ninety i have lost bicycle rights and go for and came nearer to amsterdam the whole of the. yes and so long gone off my. seven thousand skeletor slalom on the street or. i want to make a museum or at hill nowadays the museum is one of the town's most popular tourist attractions. they've even built their own replicas soft. welcome to our museum. there's a new exhibit you know the lights in right mind. and presentation 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 are right

to get into the spirit because we didn't or else. 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 i'm soules so this is i guess there is only twentieth century yes you can see a special box for all you see. and special instruments and if you were alone on the . ride. it's a very old. somebody with 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 sculpts 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 makes 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 ego 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 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 realised that people appreciated my work as somebody who needed it and that what i was doing was interesting. and in this region a mine as 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. oh as you can see i'm about to take a pretty job 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 pick up. 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 a pitch.

right here. two hundred fifty meters. and. this is the. same 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 lake to see. the miners work six hour shifts in toilets 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. so it takes the coal out of the sea i don't see the conveyor belt. like a black hole. because a slice is eighty centimeters of coal a time and once one side has been thoroughly excavated the whole operation. loose

forward. because surely though it's all exciting news we all want to trust the press that you could say if you example a 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 and mine are. going to six. weeks now minus one thing. i've only been down the pit for a short time but there's no avoiding the water in the cloying dust and it was a relief to get back out into the sunshine. stuff so give up and just see a tough job people speak about the day at the coalface want to see how did they know the boat. it was time for me to hit the showers but the co 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. i'll turn. our. back yard i've not landed we will not allow i'm not trying to prop up and spread all over the country. virtually all terrorists today are muslim do we have the right to make such provocative statements and the muslim schools have the right to exist. in new york city on our. sergeant of the israeli defense forces. during his service scorched

a street fight. if. colonel of the chilean armed forces participated in keeping down a military revolt. sergeant in the us army. trying to become an american by getting pardon 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 knits 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 returns ready for the mix stage of the process. and this is what this feel is. the most and to go and mixes with the spark the human the conversing here i don't know lights up like guy fawkes night. but i could give you these really. it's a feudal system but. also jim is added and after a while the steel is ready to be cooled down cost and sliced up.

things by homes here in. yeah braz each one of these red hot steel slabs weighs around twenty tons i want to move in mind but i doubt if. they can then 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 on but you won't get some of the football stadium on a saturday afternoon because the cold places play brit sports is a whole different. this is the home of the who's boss banditti it's a cross between football and always silky 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. all far. there's no so nice to meet you.

so this is the good this got you want a ninety day win streak i think so. 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 is 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 the big. mitts the to start with i was a little hit and miss but after running around for awhile my deadly accuracy soon became apparent. one

mill to the wall right there will be. a feature. but if you want to play this game you'll definitely have to work on your cardio pole just on the go between the sticks. cruise really reminds you of school you know. it was clear i was a natural for 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 they were made here things change and now let's try to do that by ourselves let's do it direct to lynn assured me around the factory fool them gave me a quick lesson in biscuit making. sleazy accountably 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 greet and here is less of fame we should add a little bit here. a little this which i guess is some kind of. cheap stuff. 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 when you swear back into the factory and. finally after all these new graduates into the chocolate fountain. of the so. maybe home to the region's most modern factories but not 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 no 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 asya 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 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 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. before 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. before i would draw it from them 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. to see until. 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 little snowmobile it's going to look. good because i'm the head of the tourist office. getting to see all 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 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. silly to the boat. you take a look at where we get a city pretty obvious well the coolest place the powerball. the very top of the mountain is most by a huge steel cross and it's the best view of the mall. 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. you've got the crash we are

screeching as well it's such a clear and perfect day you can see a route 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 very many cattle was not far from stock breeding local

people when hunting and fishing they 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 minds 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 starlets heights 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 is first 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.
