market. i know what's really happening to the global economy with my stronger no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to congress report on our. forecasting internationally from moscow says r t thanks for being with us our top stories now the e.u. agonizes over curbing its catastrophic debt and ballooning bailout budget as other countries once eager to join the club have second thoughts. meanwhile the some petersburg international economic forum has been discussing a void in other global economic meltdown and encouraging major firms to take a fresh look at the new horizons for investors in russia. probably take advantage

of years to i've got to carry around the most southern the russian orthodox church built in a place you'd least expect the. sound of dosh the snow you stereotype the most people apply to russian i was with kini clad bathers of the black sea resort next. if you're taking your first trip to russia you'll probably be more inclined to pack a fur coat rather than a bucket in spades but if you have down south of the chrism of the 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 embankments in europe fourteen kilometers of it and in the middle is this lady a white bra it's supposed to represent the hopes dreams and you see of the beach. and it's a stunning place the resorts 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 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 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 there as well up here you can find the black seas equivalents of the london eye although admittedly this is

a little more retro. i've been to the most technologically advanced royd this one. equipment. there's a big hole. just absorbing down. five minutes to get to the top end if. mr kling you're in for a treat. this is the highest roy eats on the and saw a black sea coast meters above sea level. it's incredible. when the. tourists go into right here in april when the season can continue into october. and functions really 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 different sort of multiculturalism it's probably

a pretty good place to start. point names here this is simply cool old park actually it's not very old so take a walk around and you'll soon get the picture. who needs a foreign holiday when you can come here you know the pyramids of egypt. temples of ancient greece. and even a roman pavilion all in less time than it takes a screen. architect alexander alexei of open the park back in two thousand and four with a membership plan in mind. we were out to get together many cultures within the narrow space where 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 or did it embrace the whole period from ancient design theory all the way to modern architecture. alexander has areas dedicated to movement ten different cultures he was a lone wolf and we paid our respects to zeus and we found ourselves in ancient egypt. maybe a little smaller than the pyramids of giza evidence based on but it's certainly posting some fine acoustics. so. some gold roll was listening he could of been so impressed with all singing as it probably began to rain. it was a perfect moment loosehead indoors and visit the punk's medieval town and there's a bird's eye view of the grounds. here we

are. this is our territory with our am is to build a space where architecture and nature so merge into the harmony where we all want to be. with. but if your fortune has something to do with water it's also 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 for me about coming to the coast is that sells the house and breastfeed so that's why we're on board. this is going to take us to the place we can collect down there. as sam. will work from the stir. so again his cruel muscle and oyster farmers failing you've been breeding the tasty mollusks for three years are those already proving very popular. but yes i can tell you that as far as r.c. france area is concerned this is

a budding market. traditionally people here ate shish kabob scientists are now there's a great demand for seed who not only locally 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. xander is an oyster diet and once played a role into the pads his job begins. we're in the right place at the secret. to him but once everything secure a catch has to be loaded into the robots and that's where the whole book begins. if you're not a fan of dirty jobs this probably isn't for you each well pretty much guarantees you a sea water shower sourced fingers and plenty of on welcome guests. little

crowds in there as well. is about all. of us does them soon can be surprisingly hearts of poems. so this is going to reading program and doesn't yield too many oysters they're quite rare you see we've got tons and tons of mussels but only a little to your sense hidden among them. it's more like. when even a needle in a haystack but doesn't gain his growth though this still huge demand for fresh mussels locally and in moscow and there's definitely no shortage of them. so this is going to be one of the biggest seafood buffy's you're likely to see we're going to run a hundred and twenty muscles appearing bathing crabs in paris and of course the odd question is. it's not often you get to eat seafood when it's this fresh unfortunately. 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 that 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 would count always does all mussels among the small system called screeches. that is intelligent animals are eating. well when you find a black sea and tough to find. them. below . here is or it. is like a single bullet. similar to zurich so you know three beautiful things they've been living in before me here of the dolphinarium for more than ten years

and they've got their banking technique down to a falling out. but this is probably the best quickest way to make friends i think. this one is greedy. of. the day is the best way to get quickly fed. having to share their breakfast. with the ladies clamoring for something bigger goes. to go. in a row the boys have won the. rivalry. and. rory is missing. senior in around two hundred fifty kilos tips the scales over three hundred but fortunately there's plenty of food for

everyone. so the girls eat sixteen kilos of pay for they go through a c. . if you measure how many of these but it's yeah i know me and still graciously hungry and that means that he's quite happy to run through his route seems there's a real don't know from looking at first i'm sure to him track is the tension and then you throw it. you know maybe with. that come on. oh. yeah we killed her. wait a little bit. of the heart of the season hundreds of people come to see zorak and his girlfriends every day practices of faith.

i get the feeling he's disturbed. by. this is the food. chain for gets ready to take. and it was better i can possibly imagine. going to be one of the most amazing experiences. doesn't mean. when nothing ever will. go this amazing.

although i could do the less. gracefully exit which. is fine. and a beast way. to get my gym and. thankfully impeached i don't think is a rare sights along the black sea coast but you can find quite a few on welcome 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 another woman's treasure first . well she ran her ways from polypropylene saks production and some water holes here you can see waste from shoes production just like you was.

polyfill 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 environmentalist. is still rare in russia and is a common sight. gomery 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 turning 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 nexium 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 on how to make plastic fantastic those are there let's make

a vision ok come on we're making a little addition of the name is 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 rate and it will become absolutely fabulous and start with. something. that's right. yes. i don't effect and no you should shake it a little bit to let the pain spread. out only to let me run. 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 forward we go james and here is here to make this work now you have your own like see what's right into the sea find a nice place for her hope she'll have a happy lie. to me and to think we can transform all this rubbish and something really rather beautiful hopefully the people who say that i feel think a little bit more before they took away that next plastic bottle. but taking a look at the black sea reminded me of another thing i haven't quite have the time for yes. i've been so busy here in the textile mills forget about my favorite thing . and it is ok.

the. more than a month. in one of the most extreme environments on the planet this is and charge it up and people have to be aware that they are far away from civilization sean thomas discovers what makes antarctica so special and attractive for many wildlife

in antarctica. and friends an. expedition to the bottom of the earth. so far in my trip i 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 drawing lines at least most of. this isn't just an ordinary zoo it's a rescue and the retirement center for injured and forming animals like passion is enjoying her early morning all. reports of the more than sixty different species i met up with head keeper nicholai for a tour and so we started working here three years ago because i was a hunter seems like the animals really conscious. let's go buddy this is the himalayan boulder colorado you want to see how long you want to have fun and mom's is only ten months old growing like

a weed. now but when it gets big. it's going to be about a hundred. and i think he's. great on how big and biting everything in his meat. every careful a month. that's been my. thing bellew's a handful or it's only meat is friends next to. this is the moaning baby. with a speech of recent zoo now has around three hundred animals and they've set up a nursery for their baby take cats and walk away i'm going to love my place. my genes the mercies of becoming a little street and just a few months ago i welcomed one of the world's rarest animals this little is adam a baby i will tiger. and the son of two called the skates and i get so he really is

a little miracle and we can already see. it's not going to be too long. before. he's going to see the world through his cat and a bit of a killer and i'm hoping he's going to be temple 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 know what i see it was living in a simple flat for a long time is more than ten years old and i were grandmother has brought him here some three years ago she was a very old woman 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 sort of as a bad living in a granny flat now in the. spare room. i've never

seen one might have such a bond of trust from so many different creatures it was like being around a real life dr doolittle and the hopes of 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 seas more sedate stores to tractions and maybe get more sense for me to eat. one thing you learn quite quickly about the russians is that they love their bread whether it's brown growing it pretty much comes with everything 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. the history of this company is

fairly typical of russia. as an eight hundred ninety five it was nationalized in one thousand eight team. in the one nine hundred thirty s. it was really in physical 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 and the old gears were given a new lease of life. there are some new parts to this windmill but it really is a timeless bit of engineering it's the axle turn by the wind power and that energy. is then converted down here by these wheels. and this one is part of the original nineteenth century mechanism the windmill still running today. which moves these two parts up into the grinding stone. and we get. the same way it's been produced for her. and making it is

a really simple process the so. they get. now follow me. here's the receiving bunker. this week here. now in the process of how ready underway plenty of needing in baking later it was time for some. ok so i've heard of a parliament but i'm guessing this is a miller's log just milk. and some 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 one take. this is gates and city of gold you hear. 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 east coast the greeks who settled here named their city after samarian king and its ruins cover around forty years. and still possible someone the through the so is of great houses and you can even discover the citizens paper temple. i bet 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 crossed the grapes here and then would have come down these roads and into these enormous votes. still year. down here. unfortunately. all we've got now of course is rain water but back in the day which would have held the equivalent of probably hours and. have been long since deserted of 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 the people who make some of. these or you grapes i believe yes and this is a very important son of the. fish. and his family are almost ready to start making the latest batch of their famous. tonight so much depending on the use of stress they will set you back around fifty dollars a dispersed bunch of grapes when distant from. let me introduce to my father. oh yes. they once. because when genesis bring in the harvest he likes to have

a few friends and the old greek tradition. will go into the cellar where it's. there was a pretty big power of grapes to crush. the rights to take. is supposed to get everyone stomping away in a nice beautiful rhythm but lumia greek. looking around on fifty kilos of grapes takes some doing. and i was about to get more from them than a foot. and so i think. we definitely deserve a drink thank you very much. yes this is good. she was since continue into the evening but i wanted to take a stroll across

a number of the regions nine months before i told my plane back to moscow. when it's windy even plenty of warning won't keep you warm. or save you is what caused his son max run a.t.v. tours along with. him 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 i was sad to be leaving a black sea coast they may not post the infrastructure of some of the famous mediterranean resorts with months of sunshine and relatively low prices and no troublesome these are it's use 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.
