cable car. is the way through it. straight up and. 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 pick. up here you can find the black seas equivalent of the london eye although admittedly this is a little more retro. maybe not the most technologically advanced roy this one safety equipment. there's a big. swing that would be. five minutes to get to the top and if you managed to cling on you're in for a treat. this is the highest.

level. credible. tourists arrive here in april when the season can continue into october. attractions in the area are geared to appeal to the whole family. success stories. people come from all over russia to visit the black sea coast but if you're looking for a multicultural is a. pretty good place to start. new flamboyant names here this is simply. a park. it's not very old at all 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. temples of ancient greece. and even a roman. back

in two thousand and four with an ambitious plan in mind. we were out to get together many cultures within the. east west caucasus. 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. dedicated to ten different cultures and. paid all respects to zeus. and egypt. it may be a little. bit it's based on but it's me posting some fine acoustics. to

impress 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. is to build a space where architecture and nature into the harmony. to be. bunts if your fortune has something to do with the docs are 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 sits down there. sam. will work from the. cruel 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. traditionally 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 oysters 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 rowboat and that's where the big. if you're not a fan of dirty job this probably isn't for you each will pretty much guarantees you a seawall to show on the 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. on a bit of a needle in a haystack. 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 secret buffy's you have a lightly the see we got a lot under twenty muscles a few invading crabs and fish and of course. it's most when you get to eat seafood when it's this fresh unfortunately on an oyster boat there's no shortage of experience because. for. me to be the most romantic thing to try one of nature's great effort. you don't get that much fresher than this. not to mention extremely tasty. so i had my long journey over want but i'm not sure that even the most generous marine biologist would count oysters all muscles among the small taste of cold screeches swimwear that is intelligent animals pointing.

well when you're behind a black sea tough to find. hello to. say hello to zurich. three beautiful. they've been living in before me here of 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 the best way to get quickly fed. doesn't mean having 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 six. can you imagine how many of these there. is still. and that means that.

the season hundreds of people. this is the. jameson gets ready to take. and. possibly even mentions.

going to be one of the most amazing experiences is ahead of. me that just rings you can get to russia i'll tell you it doesn't make it and nothing ever will. go this amazing. although i could do the lesson or two on how to gracefully exit a clue. to do things. 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 but as they say sometimes one man's trash can be another man's treasure or in this case another woman's treasure. what are the other ways probably in sacks production and some bottles here you can see waists from shoes production just like us. for that one here that i'm also falling still in and used sacks seven years ago name in the key for of a gave up her practice is a doctor to become an artist and them are mentalist. recycling is still rare in russia and discarded litter is a common sight name and has opened the white horse gallery to try and draw attention to the damage the waste is doing to the local area who are born it's always a pain to see the town 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. 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 black sea 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 there isn't the let's make a fish ok come on we're making a little addition for name is 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 color it and it will become absolutely fabulous.

painting. yes beautiful. turf ect and no you should shake it a little bit to let the paint sparano. let the paint forward. there was an 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 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 lie. to me and think we can transform this rubbish into something really rather beautiful and hopefully the people who say it think a little bit more chuck away that next plastic bottle on the. sculpture of the

black sea reminded me of another thing. one of the most extreme environments on the planet. and people have to be aware that they are far away from civilization. special and attractive.

and. so far. in the hills there were plenty. this isn't just an ordinary it's a rescue and a retirement center for injured alex performing on the walls. enjoying her early morning ball. full report looks after more than sixty different species i met up with head keeper. until he started working here three years ago because i was a hunter but it seems like the animals don't generally crunches. let's go buddy this is blue the himalayan band both don't 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. it'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 handful weightily meters friends next door. is a demanding baby. with a spate of recent the zoo now has around three hundred animals and they've set up a nursery for their baby pig caps and why can't we get along like place. my jeans the most 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 nervous. and you can already see. that 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 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. i'm just trying to imagine a bad living in

a granny flat now. spare room with me. but never seemed to have such a bond of trust with so many different creatures it was like being around a real life dr doolittle and hopes that the files and visitors who come to the park take a new appreciation of the animals away with them. having survived my visit to the supposed 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 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 here and the old gears were given a new lease of life. but it really is a timeless bit of engineering. and not energy. is then converted down here by these wheels. and this one is part of the original century mechanism still running today. and we get flour the same way. 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 small. ok so i've heard of a ploughman's lunch but i'm guessing this is a. milk. bread and they were there are. this mill maybe an example of the region's recent history but they're all relics. that 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 nation city on the russian coast the greeks who settled here named their city after a 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 the this would have been one of the most popular places back in the days of because it's the remains of an ancient winery people would have crushed the grapes here the juice then would have come down these forests and into these enormous votes. show you. down here. unfortunately. all we've got now of course is rain water back in the day this would have held the equivalent of thousand bottles. 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 only 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. my father. oh yes the beginning. is

bringing in the harvest he likes to have a few friends and the old greek tradition. where it's. there was a pretty big power of grapes to crush so it seemed to take. a cue supposed to get everyone stomping away in a nice beautiful rhythm but lumia greek slipping around on fifty kilos of grapes takes some doing. and i was about to get my reward for mending a foot. so i think. we definitely deserve a drink thank you very much. yes this is a bit. too close he was said to continue into 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 wine won't keep you warm. my savior's with his son max who run a t.v. tours along with him. 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 and relatively low prices and no trouble some of these are issues it's 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.

politics annoyed b.b.q. agonizes over covering his catastrophic debt ballooning budget as other countries

join the block of second floor. but how to stop of global crisis happening again major business and political leaders discuss just that of the international economic forum this just wrapped up in some papers. and syria faces a third round of e.u. sanctions amid more deadly anti-government crackdowns which sold more than a dozen dead and thousands raged nationwide. hello you're watching on t.v. it's now ten pm here in moscow with you tonight and i'll tell. a real war that greece's latest finance minister sums up the job ahead of him he's been tasked with securing another multi-billion euro bailout the criteria for which means slapping an outright hostile greek public with more hysterically cuts and some countries

like turkey which ones harbored dreams of e.u. membership are beginning to rethink their plans to if you talked about turkey in the e.u. ten years ago turkey's hopes of joining would have been inseparable from joining the euro not anymore turkey's attitude in short can be summed up very simply very glad you're not part of the euro right now took on the streets seem to have a wide range of opinions on the euro but their countries doorstep europe's economy is worse now turkey's is improving turkey is improving in all fields but europe is going backwards so we don't need them. to fish people are using the year as an investment to earn money here is a more reliable and turkish money people don't want to save their money in the euro . few invest in euros you get more than bureaus also stronger than dollars having said that i don't want to risk investing. but academics analyzing public opinion

have found a common logic in decisions about the euro p. .
