this weekend at the white house claims there's no need for congressional consent. and the palestinians are out of pocket after israel holds back millions in tax dollars it's left tens of thousands of people without their wages in a move that tel aviv claims is necessary to prevent terrorism. so next year and i'll see how russia's black sea coast is a red hot spot for tourists looking for a colorful break or right to enjoy. 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 well if you had down south of the krisna dollar region you'll find long sandy beaches and hundreds of kilometers of beautiful coastline literally millions of people flock here for their holidays 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. a local savor this is the longest developed a banquet in europe fourteen kilometers of it and in the middle is this lady a white bra it was supposed to represent the hopes dreams and you see a preacher. and it's a stunning place the results of frame by the background of the caucasian mountains and on a sunny day the seascapes can rival anything you might find in the greek islands if you want to see be area in its full glory you just have to jump into a cable car. that's the easy way to do it so this hiking you. straight up.

do 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 visit the fair. up here you can find the black seas equivalents of the london eye although admittedly this is a little more retro. we're going to the most technologically advanced roi this one safety equipment. is a big. swing now. it takes five minutes to get to the top end if. you managed to cling on you're in for a treat. this is the highest braai on the install a black sea coast needs is above sea level. it's incredible. tourist storms will arrive here in april and the season can continue into october.

and truncheons in the area are geared to appeal to the whole family and i want 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 multiculturalism it's probably a pretty good place to start. names here this is simply cool old park actually it's not very old it'll take a walk around and you'll soon get the picture. who needs a foreign holiday when you can come here the pyramids of egypt. temples of ancient greece. and even a roman billion dollar less time than it takes. for. exam direct sailboat in the park back in two thousand and four with a membership plan in mind. we

were out to get together many cultures within the now space. east west caucasus russia. these architectural structures are filled with substance and as you look around you begin to realize of the culture of humankind is a synthesis of many cultures hoarded and embrace is the whole period from ancient designs all the way to modern architecture. alexander has areas that it creates it's more than ten different cultures and it wasn't long we paid our respects to zeus and we found ourselves in ancient egypt. maybe a little smaller than the pyramid of giza but it's based on but it's certainly posting some fine acoustics. so. some gold roll was listening you could have been so impressed with our singing as it probably began to rain. it was

a perfect moment move ahead indoors and visit the punks maybe evil town and there's a bird's eye view of the grounds. oh here we are. this is our territory that is that's one of the things that you are am is to build a space where architecture and nature so merge into the harmony where we all want to be. but if your fortune has something to do with the top so probably a pretty good place to start and if you go there early enough they'll be plenty of fishermen setting off for the morning catch. one of the best things to me about coming to the coast is the tells they have suppressed seafood so that's why we're on board. this is going to take us to the place we can collect sit down there. as sam. will work from the stir. so again his crew will muscle an oyster farmers

a loony bin greeting the tasty mollusks for three years but they're already proving very popular. that yes i can tell you that as far as r.c. france it is concerned this is a budding market. traditionally people here ate shish kabob sunfish and now there's a great demand for seafood of not only local aid but also in moscow st petersburg and elsewhere there were no shelf asian oysters in the menu bar the restaurants only local people like to cook shellfish for a very long time. so these polar xander is an oyster deliberately and once they've arrived at the beds his job begins. the boats on. the we're in the right place that will be. there but once everything secure the catch has to be loaded into

a rowboat and that's where the hard work begins. if you're not a fan of dirty jobs it's probably easy for you pretty much guarantees you a sea water shower sourced fingers and plenty of unwelcome guests to go little crowds in there as well as going to stop by because about all. of us does them soon it's going to be surprisingly hot of poems. so this kind of reading program apparent doesn't yield too many oysters they're quite rare and so we've got tons and tons of mussels but only one or two or since hidden among them. it's more like. might have been a needle in a haystack but doesn't put so again his growth though this still huge to mourn for fresh mussels locally hundred mosco and there's definitely no shelter to them. so this is going to be one of the biggest seafood buffy's you're likely to see we've got a right under twenty muscles are here invading crabs in place and of course your

question is i said it's not often you get to eat seafood when it's this fresh unfortunately on the boat there's no shortage of experience because. most of us are ok so. may not be the most romantic setting to try one of nature's great aphrodesiac you don't get much fresher than this. not to mention extremely tasty. so i had my long journey over water so i'm not sure that even the most generous marine biologist from county always does all mussels among the small system called screeches some where there's intelligent animals raising. well when you find a black sea and tough to find. them. hello . again here is

a story. is that the sun will. say hello to zurich and see you know three beautiful things they've been living in before me here the dolphinarium for more than ten years and they've got their banking technique down to a phone oh yes. but this is probably the best quickest way to make friends i think so i don't. think that. this one is greedy. that there is the best way to get quickly pad. share their breakfast. with the ladies clamoring for something they go goes. they go. in a row the boys have won the get. it rivalry. and.

story. scenery is occurring around two hundred fifty kilos and zurich tips the scales are over three hundred but fortunately there's plenty of food for everyone. so the girls eat sixteen kilos of fish for they go through a scene. can you imagine how many of these that is yeah i know mate is still racially hungry and that means that he's quite happy to run through his route seems as long as there's a reward on offer looking first sure to him track his attention and then you throw it. you know maybe with. that come on.

ok now we filled the hole. in. the hearts of the season hundreds of people come to see zorra in his girlfriend's every day and practice has certainly made perfect. i have a feeling he's disturbed. by. this is the first thought i might have the chose to get up close and personal with. james gets ready to take that he was better i could possibly imagine.

going to be one of the most amazing experiences. of school. doesn't mean that nothing ever will. go this amazing. although i could do the. graceful exit of. things for. an obese way. look at my gym and. thankfully impeached don't think is a rare sights along the black sea coast but you can find quite a few unwelcome additions to the. unfortunately like many other resorts around the world a black sea coast has its own problems with but as they say sometimes one man's trash can be another man's treasure or in this case the woman's treasure first.

well she ran away from poland probably in sacks production and some bottles here you can see ways from shoes production just like yours. lots of polish go in and use sacks seven years ago in the queue for her practice is a doctor to become an artist and environmentalist. recycling is still rare in russia and discarded litter is a common sides and then 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 earth down into a garbage can i try to collect some of the rubbish but of course my efforts were in they mean 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 the house and make plastic fantastic over there let's make a fish ok come on we're making a little addition the bananas biggest installation a sculpture that's intended to represent the whole of the black sea the 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 collar it and it will become absolutely fabulous start with. some. bright that's right. yes. and no you should shake it a little bit to let the pain spread the most about. me around.

painful words my. exactly sure what breed of fish we were creating but it was pretty colorful and once the finishing touches had been married and was ready to take its place in the gallery all to go he would go james and here is here to make this work now you have your own place in the back seat that's right engine to see find a nice place behind hope she'll have a happy life. amazing to think that you can transform all this rubbish and something really rather beautiful and hopefully the people who see it i will think it a bit more for the chuckle way that rex passed it before. but taking a look at my sculpture of the black sea reminded me of another thing quite of the time for us. i've been so busy here in the country about what it would think. it is up here.

wealthy british style. markets why not scandal. find out what's really happening to the global economy in the kinds of reports on our cultures that so much about the taxpayers' money matters a shake a lot of people at area b. you're always in crisis would be a witness ten years. one stream cascading from mountain slopes the view is mesmerized. by this newly brings deaths at a speed of more than two hundred kilometers per hour. stepping down to launch.

so far more trip or have a chance to meet a few of the black season a read on the malls but i've heard that up there in the hills there were plenty more who prefer drawing lines the least most it's not. this isn't just an ordinary zero it's a rescue and a retirement center for injured alex performing animals while. he's enjoying her early morning golf historic walk with some of the more than sixty different species a momentum with his keeper nicholai for its one year until he still isn't working here three years ago because it was a hunter but it seems like the animals to their early conscious. let's go buddy this is the himalayan bandit both mellow don't you want to see how long you want to have fun and months. he's only ten months old growing like a weed. now but when he gets bigger. it's going to

be about a hundred years and i think he's. great i'm having fun and biting everything in his meat. every careful months the lens that's been mine so i think lose a handful or italy in liters friends next to. me. is a maundering baby. with a spate of recent the zoo now has around three hundred animals and they've set up a ministry for their baby cats and why can't you get along like this. my genes the most the becoming a delicious treat i'm just a few months ago i welcomed one of the world's rarest animals this little is adam a baby i'm all tiger. and the son of to confiscate a tiger so he really is

a little nervous. and you can already see. it's not going to be too long. before. he's going to see the world he's kept a bit of a killer. is going to be with me. here have been rescued from poachers or from circuses and some come from rather more unusual backgrounds. this is grigori he lived with her grandmother in over a season 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 going to bed living in a granny flat now and. spare room with me. i've never

seen one man have such a bond of trust with so many different creatures it was like being around a real life up to do and the 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 and minor cuts and bruises i figured it was time to visit one of the black seas more sedate stores to tractions and 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 pretty much comes with everything we just call it strains in the two years i've been traveling around this country i've never seen one of the others. 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 thousand nine hundred eighteen. in the one nine hundred thirty s. it was really in sickle and hammer and wasn't service until the early one nine hundred sixty s. . a few years ago the original mill was stripped transported and rebuilt here and the old gears were given a new lease of life. there are some new parts to this window but it really is a timeless bit of engineering vertical axle turn by the wind. and that energy. is then converted down here by these wheels. and this one is part of the original nineteenth century mechanism will still running day. which moves these two parts up into the grinding stone. and we get flour the same way it's been produced for her. and making it is a really simple process the so. they get.

and now follow me. here is a receiving bunker or out this way here as it now in the process of how already underway plenty of medium baking later it was time for snow. ok so i've heard of a ploughman's lunch but i'm guessing this is a miller's log. something fresh bread and they were there are. about. this mill maybe an example of the region's recent history but they're all relics along the shoreline that date back to antiquity. this is the dates and city of gold. 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 an ancient city on the rocks and

cursed the greeks who settled here names the city after samarian king and its ruins come to around forty one. and still possible to wander through the so is of great houses and you can even discover the citizens favorite temple. i bet the 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 who have crossed the grapes here the juice then would have come down the sparrows and into these enormous vats. still you. down here. unfortunately. all we've got now of course is rain water but back in the day it would have held the equivalent of only thousand more or less. have been long since deserted of 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 on about to meet the people who make some of the best. these only grapes i believe yes and this is a very important son of the. forest think. and his family are almost ready to start making the latest batch of their famous. so much depending on the use of stress they will set you back around fifty dollars a dispersed bunch of grapes went distant from. the winter and used to my father. oh yes the beginning. of a royal. because when young is bringing in the harvest he likes to have a few friends and the old tradition. goes to the celebrates.

its there was a pretty big power of grapes to cross so it seemed only relates to take the. post to get everyone stomping away in a nice uniform rhythm a lumia greek slipping around on fifty kilos of grapes takes some doing. and i was about to get money from them being a fruit. and so i think off the rolls we definitely deserve a drink thank you very much. yes this is good. she was six continue long into the evening and 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 war and what you can war. for safety is what caused his son max to run a t.v. tours along with. an awful 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 there may not boast the infrastructure of some of the famous melissa raney in resorts but with months of sunshine relatively low prices and no troublesome bees or its use is easy to see why 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.
