just. the latest in. the future are covered. today. these are the images from. the day.

fifty. five. you're watching r t the headlines for you now billion dollar energy deals between russia and china spearhead a major financial forum and some places where the world's top business executives politicians want to debate how to push the global economy forward. u.s. congress threatens to block washington's campaign in libya ninety days on again and make herself furious that president obama extended range down to consent to use a train it contravenes the. thousands of

palestinians all that scraping for a living as israel with holds of money owed to the government is really used to fund terror attacks. down to consult or fatah people fear they are even less likely to see their cash. while the next it's sun sand and sea ice and take you to the beaches of brushes. 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 chrism of the 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. the hopes dreams and beauty of the beach. and 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. you get 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. you can find the black seas

equivalent of the london although admittedly this is a little retro. going to the most technologically advanced roy this one safety equipment. there's a big. five minutes to get to the top. if you. manage to cling on you're in for a treat. this is the highest roy on the black sea coast meters above the sea level. disco this incredible. maybe a little bit windy and a bit wobbly. to restore to arrive here in april when the season can continue into october. attractions are me area are good 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 it's probably a pretty good place to start. new flamboyant names here this is simply called old park benchley 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've 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 of 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 as

you look around you begin to realize that the culture of humankind is a synthesis of many cultures races the whole period from ancient designs all the way to modern architecture. alexander has areas dedicated to more than ten different cultures and we. paid all respects to zeus and we found ourselves in ancient egypt. it may be a little smaller than the pyramid of giza but it's based on but it's certainly boasting some foreign acoustics. listening he can't have been too impressed with all singing as it probably began to rain. it was a perfect moment lou to head indoors and visit the punk's medieval town and there's a bird's eye view of the grounds. here we

are james this is our territory with him is to build a space where architecture and nature into the harmony. to be. but if your fortune has something to do with adults you 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 things to me about. so that's why we're. going to take the place we can collect sit down there. sam. will work from the stir. his crew a muscle and. they've been breeding the tasty mollusks for three years but they're already proving very popular. i can tell you that as far as he is concerned

this is a budding market. relationally people here. and now 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. xander is an oyster and once they've arrived at the beds his job begins. but once everything secure the catch has to be loaded into the rowboat and that's where the hard work begins. if you know. this probably isn't for you each will pretty much guarantees you

a seawall to show on to think is 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. finding a bit of a needle in the haystack. game is. this still huge to my muscles locally. and there's definitely no shortage of them. so this is going to be one of the big. you have a lightly the c we've got a twenty muscles a feeling bathing crabs and of course. when you get to eat seafood when it's this fresh unfortunately. there's no shortage of experience

because. for. me to be the most romantic setting to try one of nature's great effort. you don't get much fresher than this. not to mention extremely tasty. so i have my long journey over. but i'm not sure that even the most generous marine biologist would count mussels among the small to gold screeches. there's intelligent animals. well when you're behind a black sea tough to find. hello to. say hello to zurich. three beautiful. they've been living in

performing here of the dolphinarium for more than ten years and they're beginning technique down to a falling out. but this is probably the best quickest way to make friends i think. this one is great it. is the best way to get quickly. doesn't mean having to share the breakfast. with the ladies clamoring for the ghost. in a row the fights i've won the. rivalry. is. around two hundred fifty kilos and zurich tips the

scales over three hundred but fortunately there's plenty of food for everyone. so the girls eat sixteen kilos of fish for they. can you imagine how many of these that is still. hungry and that means that he's quite happy to run seems there's a real. look at first you should track his attention and then you throw it.

hundreds of people come to see. her face. james to. take. to be. experiences.

doesn't mean that nothing ever. could do them. but you can if you. unfortunately like many. in the world. as with butts as they say sometimes one man's trash can be another man's treasure or in this case treasure. what are the other ways probably in sacks production and some bottles.

you can see waists from shoes production just like you was. still in and used sacks seven years ago in the queue for of practice is a doctor to become an artist and the marmont list. recycling is still rare in russia and is a common sight. to try and draw attention to the damage the waste is doing to the local area. it's always a pain to see the earth tone in into a garbage can i try to collect some of the rubbish but of course my efforts were in then 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 their 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 stick that isn't there let's make a fish ok come on we're making a little addition 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 here. brian that's right. yes beautiful. turf ect and no you should shake it a little bit to let the paint spread sort of out i think that's a lot me around let me paint forwards. the isn't 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 its place in the gallery forward we go james and here is here to make this work if you know now you have your own facing the back seat that's right into the sea find a nice place behind hope she'll have a happy life. it's amazing to think that you can transform this rubbish into something really rather beautiful and hopefully the people who see it maybe they'll think it'll bit more before they chuck away that next plastic bottle. but taking a look at that sculpture of the black sea reminded me of another thing i don't quite have the time for us. i've been so busy here in the textile almost forgot about my favorite thing to the seaside. and it is up here.

question is that so much about taxpayers' money madrid's a shriek in the bottom people at area b. you're always in crisis will be a witness and years. quite stream cascading from mountain slopes the view is mesmerizing. but this beauty brings deaths at a speed of more than four hundred kilometers per hour. steppin down avalanche and on. so far a much report have a chance to meet a few of the black seas marine animals but i've heard that up there in the hills there were plenty more who prefer the draw and the least most of the time this isn't just an ordinary zero it's a rescue and a retirement center for injured addicts performing animals like that was enjoying

her early morning boff this full report looks off to more than sixty different species a moment her with head keeper nicholai for a tour until he started working here three years ago because i was a hunter but it seems like we are animals don't generally crunches. let's go buddy this is blue the himalayan band boulder colorado you want to say hello you want to have fun and once. he's only ten months old growing like a weed he's a fairly. there when he gets big. he's going to be about a hundred. and i think he's. having fun and biting everything in his meat. every careful. that's it but. then if you think blues weightily meters friends next door. being baby. with

a spate of recent the zoo now has around three hundred animals and they've set up a nursery for their baby big cats why can't we get along my place. my jeans 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 want tiger. and the son of two confiscated tigers so he really is a little miracle and you can already see. it's not going to be too long. before. 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 her grandmother in know what.

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. i'm just trying to imagine a bad living in a granny flat now and. 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 hopes that the thousands 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 sees 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 black roy it pretty much comes with everything but we just point 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. history of this company is fairly typical of russia founded in eight hundred ninety five it was nationalized in one thousand eight team. 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 timeless bit of engineering. power and that

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 the so. and now follow me. here is a 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. this mill may be an example of the region's recent history but their own relics. to date back to antiquity. this is the ancient city of gold the pier 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 one thousand city on the russian coast the greeks who settled him 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. i bet that this would have been one of the most popular places back in the days of good because 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. well we've got now of course it is rain water back in the day this would have held the equivalent of bali bombers and. you may have been long since deserted but the descendants of its greek 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

brand name has a price tonight so much depending on the use of stretch i will set you back around fifty dollars but this grapes went destined for the. my father. oh yes the beginning. is bringing in the harvest he likes to have a few friends. of the old greek tradition. 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 more from the ending of. that so i think. we definitely deserve a drink thank you very much. yes she was a bit. she was said to continue the evening but i wanted to take a stroll across a number of the regions around months before i called my plane back to moscow. when it's this windy even plenty of warning won't keep you warm. and his son max can run a t.v. tours along with. him off the 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 and relatively low prices and no troublesome visa receivers is easy to see why millions of russians come here for the summer holidays it's a place to relax bring the family and enjoy the warmest blue water that russia has to offer.
