broaching of our own liberty. in the early twenty first century military bases the network of military bases all around the forms of the empire that the united states is trying to build that's astonishing most americans have no idea there are more than a quarter of a million more than two hundred fifty thousand u.s. troops stationed on these bases all around the world. we don't have power bases in america we don't have any british base we don't have any korean base we don't have any french bases or you know we just all american bases in our bases of there are the noises our north is it doesn't bother us at all because they're all bases but for other people it's almost like a cancer here for these people. since the into world war two the spaces i've been.

working here are to provide a safe and secure environment for everybody. the questions they have thing else you get everything you needed. this is coming to life for most of the headlines. no buns for a day's work they presidents of russia and china signed multibillion dollar trade deals but even more into pipeline they tell finalizing a thirty year multibillion dollar gas deal as well as discussing media and i think national issues as country saying nato must honor and not exceed the terms of the un resolution on with the tree intervention media. there's no place for khadafy post that's the message of russia's peace envoy to neva while meeting officials. in

tripoli and helm our gallup had previously met with opposition leaders and been gone as part of a push by also to mediate a peace deal the talks to place a fresh nato as trikes and believe in capital and level appeared to sit along the coast. and lawyers for alleged arms dealer big to boot prepare to challenge the legality of his extradition to the u.s. from thailand the russian businessman has been awaiting trial since being arrested in the sting operation over three years ago the charges against him include conspiring to terrorists conspiring to kill americans and forward. and coming up next we're exploring russia follow our correspondent on his adventure to the black sea coast. if you're taking your first trip to russia you'll probably be more inclined to pack a fur coat rather than a bucket and spade but if you have down south to the christmas dollar region you'll

find long sandy beaches and hundreds of kilometers of beautiful coastline literally millions of people flock here every year proof that while russia may be famous for its snow and skiing there's plenty of sun sand and see here as well. this is the longest developed embankments in europe fourteen kilometers of it and in the middle is this lady a white bride resent the hopes dreams and hopes of. them it's a stunning place the results of frame by the background of the caucasian mountains and on a sunny day of the seascapes can rival anything you might find in the greek islands and if you want to see the area in its full glory you just have to jump into a cable car.

is the easy way to do it. straight up. a pretty good view on the way up here but i think i want to go just a little bit higher and also it's an excuse to there. you can find the black seas equivalent of the london although admittedly this is a little more retro. maybe not the most technologically advanced. safety equipment . there's a big. use. that would be. five minutes to get to the top. if you. manage to cling on you're in for a treat. this is the highest braai on the black sea coast meters above the sea level. discovers incredible.

maybe a little bit when going to be a probably. tourist or to arrive here in april when the season can continue into october. attractions in me area are geared to appeal to the whole family and i wanted to check out one of its newest success stories. people come from all over russia to visit the black sea coast but if you're looking for a different sort of multiculturalism this is probably a pretty good place to start. new flamboyant names here this is simply called old park specially it's not very old it's old but take a walk around and you'll soon get a picture. who needs a foreign holiday when you can come here you got the pyramids of egypt the temples of ancient greece. and even a roman pavilion all in less time than it takes you to create. architect

alexander i like save open the park back in two thousand and four with an ambitious plan in mind. we were out to get together many cultures within the narrow space or east west caucasus russia. these architectural structures are filled with substance and as you look around you begin to realize that the culture of humankind is a synthesis of many cultures and it embraces the whole period from ancient designs all the way to modern architecture. alexander has areas dedicated to more than ten different cultures. to be paid all respects to zeus and we found ourselves in ancient egypt. it maybe a little smaller than the pyramid of giza but it's based on but it's certainly boasting some fine acoustics.

so. if the song was listening he couldn't have been too impressed with all singing as it probably began to rain. it was a perfect moment mujahid indoors and visit the punks medieval town and there's a bird's eye view of the grounds. here we are james this is our territory with our aim is to build a space where architecture and nature into the harmony. to be. but if your fortune has something to do with the docs a probably a pretty good place to start and if you go there early enough they'll be plenty of fishermen setting off for their morning catch. one of the best. so that's why we're. going to take the place we can collect.

sam. will work from. his cruel muscle and. they've been breeding the tasty mollusks for three years but they're already proving very popular. show you that as far as city is concerned this is a budding market. traditionally people here. know there's a great demand for seafood not only locally but also in moscow st petersburg and elsewhere there were no shellfish an oyster is in the menu bar the restaurants only local people like to cook shellfish for a very long time. and once they've arrived at the beds his job begins.

but once everything secure the catch has to be loaded into the robots and that's where the big. if you know the fun of dirty job this probably isn't for you each will pretty much guarantees you a seawall to show on fingers and plenty of guests. little crowds in there as well as going to stop. them soon can be surprisingly hard to find. so this kind of reading program apparent doesn't yield too many oysters they're quite rare so you see we've got tons and tons of mussels but only. hidden among them. when even the needle in the haystack. game is cruel. this still huge to my muscles locally. and there's definitely no shortage of them. so this is going to be one of

the be easier of the light be to see the water out under twenty. muscles appearing bathing crabs and fish and of course the presses i say it's not often you get to eat seafood when it's this fresh unfortunately. there's no shortage of experience because. sooner or. later over the most romantic setting to try one of nature's great efforts. you don't get much fresher than this. not to mention extremely tasty. so i have my long journey over want but i'm not sure that even the most generous marine biologist would count oysters will mussels among the small taste of cold screeches swimwear that is intelligent animals are eating. well when you're behind a black sea tough to find. here

. say hello to zurich. three beautiful. they've been living in performing here at the dolphinarium for more than ten years. beginning technique down to a four. this is probably the best quickest way to make friends i think. this one is great it. is the best way to get quickly. to share their breakfast. with the ladies clamoring for. a row the.

since. around two hundred fifty. tips the scales are over three hundred but fortunately for every one. of the girls. can you imagine how many of these that. still. means that. the tension.

of the season hundreds of people. every day and. perfect. this is the. james. take. and. possibly even mentions.

it's going to be one of the worst amazing experiences and. see the juncture in a school you can get to russia and i'll tell you it doesn't make you feel when nothing ever will. go this amazing. although i could do with a lesson or two on how to gracefully exit a clue. and a beast way and. go get my dinner. thankfully impeached dosing is a rare sight along the black sea coast but you can find quite a few unwelcome additions to the shoreline. unfortunately like many other resorts

around the world a black sea coast has its own problems with lets up but as they say sometimes one man's trash can be another man's treasure or in this case another woman's treasure . what the whole she rather wastes probably in sacks production and some bottles here you can see waists from shoes production just like you was. only still in and used sacks seven years ago a name in the queue for of a gave up her practice is a doctor to become an artist and then mara mentalist. recycling is still rare in russia and discarded litter is a common sight nina has opened the white horse gallery to try and draw attention to the damage the waste is doing to the local area. it's always a pain to see the tone in into a garbage can i try to collect some of the rubbish but of course my efforts were in

vain the trash was not getting smaller many people just don't understand me i don't know how to explain it to them. my idea is to make people remember my work and everything that i have taken care of before the litter i want them to remember my beloved lexie and the fish it will be great if they begin doing such things even better than me i mean or offer to give me a quick lesson in how to make plastic bunter stick that isn't there let's make a fish ok come on we're making a little addition from a news biggest installation a sculpture that's intended to represent the whole of the black sea first let's get rid of unnecessary stuff here is the fairmont gun take a look it's not clear if it's a fish yet but now we're going to shape it look here is the tail. and now we're going to color it and it will become absolutely fabulous start with. some painting.

yes beautiful. turf ect and no you should shake it a little bit to let the paint spread to. let the paint for. exactly sure what breed of fish we were creating but it was pretty colorful and once the finishing touches had been added it was ready to take it's place in the gallery for what we go james and here is here. now you have your own back see that's right into the sea find a nice place for her hope she'll have a happy life. to me and think you can transform this rubbish into something really rather beautiful and hopefully the people who see it think of little bit more chalk away that next plastic bottle. reminded me of another thing.

happening to the global economy. mission free critique ation free. free.

the himalayan band both of you want to see how long you want to have fun and once he's only ten months old growing like a weed he's a fairly tough now but when he gets big. he's going to be about a hundred. and i think he's. great i'm having fun and biting everything in his meat. every careful. but. then if you think blues a way to meet his friends next door. is a baby. with a speech of recent. has around three hundred animals and they've set up a nursery for their baby pig cats and why can't we all get along my place. my genes and my shoes are becoming a delicious treat and just

a few months ago they welcomed one of the world's rarest animals this little is adam a baby i will tiger. and the son of to confiscate a tiger so he really is a little nervous. and you can already see. that it's not going to be too long. if. he's going to turn into the world's biggest cat and a bit of a killer and i'm hoping he's going to be gentle with me. here have been rescued from poachers or from circuses but some come from rather more unusual backgrounds. this is grigori he lived with their grandmother in know what i see he was living in a simple flat for a long time is more than ten years old grandmother has brought him here some three years ago she was a very old woman she brought to bear here in a car without any cage just using a leash she cooked

a big delicious cake for him that grandmother is just too old to look after him. just as in a bad living in a granny flat now. you get a big spare room. but never seemed to have such a bond of trust with so many different creatures it was like being around a real life duck to do little and the hopes of the fountains of visitors who come to the park take a new appreciation of the animals away with them. having survived my visit to the safari park with minor cuts and bruises i figured it was time to visit one of the black seas more sedate tourist attractions then maybe get myself something to eat. one thing you learn quite quickly about the russians is that they love their bread whether it's brown blanc roy it pretty much comes with everything but we just call it strains in the two years i've been traveling around this country i've never seen one of those. it's a replica of

a mill that was grinding flour in this area more than a century ago and with the help of a few modern improvements it's back in business. the history of this company is fairly typical of russia founded in eight hundred ninety five it was nationalized in one nine hundred eighteen. in the one nine hundred thirty s. it was renamed sickle and hammer and wasn't until the early one nine hundred sixty s. . a few years ago the original mill was stripped transported and rebuilt and the old gears were given a new lease of life. but it really is a bit of engineering. the power and the energy. is then converted down here by these wheels. and this one is part of the original century mechanism still running today.

which. we get. and making it is a really simple process so. now follow me. here is the receiving bunker. this week here that's now the process is already underway plenty of. time for a smoke. ok so i've heard of a ploughman's lunch but i'm guessing this is a. milk. bread and they were there or. this mill may be an example of the region's recent history but they're all relics along the shoreline that date back to antiquity. this is the ancient city of gold

your peer was home to thousands of people until it was destroyed in the third century a.d. and it's one of the best preserved examples. of the nation city on the russian coast the greeks who settled here named their city after samarian king and its ruins cover around forty hacked it's still possible to wander through the so is of great houses and you can even discover the citizens favorite tipple a better this would have been one of the most popular places back in the days of the cuz it's the remains of an ancient winery people would have crushed the grapes had the juice then would have come down these forests and into these enormous votes . show you. down here. unfortunately. always go now of course it is rainwater but

back in the day this would have held the equivalent of hours and. have been long since deserted but the descendants of its creek settlers are still in the area and they still have a passion for the grape. this is russia's wine country around sixty percent of the crop comes from around this area and about to meet the people who make some of the best. these. grapes i believe yes and this is a very important one of you. and his family are almost ready to start making the latest batch of their famous runs. so much depending on the use of stretch they will set you back around fifty dollars but this grapes went destined for. my father.

oh yes the beginning. is bringing in the harvest he likes to have a few friends and the old greek tradition. goes to the cellar where it's. there was a pretty big power of grapes to crush so it seemed to take the plunge. you supposed to get everyone stomping away in a nice uniform rhythm but lumia greek slipping around on fifty kilos of grapes takes some doing. and i was about to get my reward from them being a foot. so i think. we definitely deserve a drink thank you very much. yes she was

a bit. she was said to continue in the evening but i wanted to take a stroll across a number of months before i called my plane back to moscow. when it's this windy even plenty of wine won't keep you warm. my savior's would cost journey his son max and run a t.v. tools along the jeans here. and off to tackling the dunes it certainly beats walking back to the hotel. it may have been getting chilly but as a born and bred seaside town boy i was sad to be leaving the black sea coast it may not boast the infrastructure of some of the famous mediterranean resorts but with months of sunshine relatively low prices and no troublesome visa or a serious is easy to see one millions of russians come here for their summer holidays it's a place to relax bring the family and enjoy the warmest blue water that russia has

to offer.
