roy this one safety equipment. there's a big hole that you. could just stop swinging that would be right. it takes room five minutes to get to the top and if you manage to cling on you're in for a treat. this is the highest braai on the install a black sea coast meters above the sea level they're discussing credible. maybe a little bit windy and a bit wobbly. to restore to arrive here in april when the season can continue into october. attractions or 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 it's 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 script. architect alexander of open the pope back in two thousand and four with an ambitious plan in mind. we were out to get together many cultures within the 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 pyramids 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. this is our territory. is to build

a space where architecture and nature into the harmony. to be. 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 sit 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. relationally 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. there is an oyster and one of the beds begins. but once everything secure the catch has to be loaded into the robots and that's where the hard work begins. if you're not a fan of dirty jobs 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 because about. themselves 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 big easy of the light be to see we've got a twenty. muscles appearing bathing crabs in place and of course. it's not often you get to eat seafood when it's this fresh unfortunately on an oyster boat there's no shortage of experience because. for. 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 had my long journey over. but i'm not sure that even the most generous marine biologist would count muscles among the small to screech is. intelligent animals are eating. well when you're behind a black sea and 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. down to a full. but this is probably the best quickest way to make friends i think.

this one. is the best way to get quickly. to share their breakfast. with the ladies clamoring for the ghost. they wrote the fights i've won the. rivalry. and. story. around two hundred fifty kilos and tips the scales over three hundred but fortunately there's plenty of food for everyone. so the girls sixteen.

can you imagine how many of these that is still. hungry and that means that he's quite happy to run seems. to attract his attention and then you throw it. people. have faith.

this is the. james. take. much. to be. experiences. and nothing ever.

could do them. but you can. unfortunately like many. in the world. but as they say sometimes one man's trucks can be another man's treasure or in this case treasure. what are the rather wastes 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. gave up her practice is a doctor to become an artist and the 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 turn 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. 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'll 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 fantastic there isn't the let's make a fish ok come on we're making a little addition biggest installation

a sculpture of it's intended to represent the whole of the black sea first let's get rid of unnecessary stuff here is the fair mug on 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. yes beautiful. perfect and no you should shake it a little bit to let the paint spread to. let the paint. 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 to go change and here is here to make this work you know now you

have your own facing the back seat that's right into the sea find a nice place but hope she'll have a happy life. 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 a little 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 haven't quite have the time for you. i've been so busy here on the couch about my favorite thing to the seaside. and it is up here.

bringing you the latest in science and technology from. the future covered. so far on 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 preferred drawing. the least most of the time. this isn't just an ordinary it's a rescue and the retirement center for injured alex performing on the walls. is 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 the himalayan band both mellow 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. 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. if you think blues a handful weightily meet his friends next door. is a demanding baby. with a spate of recent births the zoo now has around three hundred animals and they've set up a new three for their baby pig cats and why can't we all 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 to confiscate it tiger 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. just one of us in a bad living in a grimy flat now. in a big 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 doc 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 supposed 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 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. eight hundred ninety five it was nationalized in one nine hundred eighteen. in the one nine hundred thirty s. it was renamed. 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. 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 snow. 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 along with the 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 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. i bet that 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 had the juice then would have come down these forests and into these enormous buckets. 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 thousand bottles. 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 son 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. goes to the cellar where it's. there was a pretty big power of grapes to cross so it seemed only right to take the. post 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 sent 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 the units here. and after 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 they may not boast the infrastructure of some of the famous mediterranean resorts but with months of sunshine relatively low prices and no troublesome visa refuse 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. hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on.

these top stories on our t.v. greece is engulfed in violent protests as the prime minister reshuffles the cabinet in a bid to push through a fresh to stare the package to secure in a new bailout. in the middle of the night and all several mom's london yeah nato airstrikes reportedly hit one of tripoli's residential areas destroying the house and killing at least seven. of the state's role in russia's economy must be reduced president medvedev speaks out at the international economic forum in st petersburg committing himself to modernization at fighting corruption.

you're watching r t two pm here in the russian capital thanks for joining us now we begin in greece and the man who has taken on the poisoned chalice is the country's new finance minister has admitted he faced. says quote a real war his biggest challenge is convincing angry greeks to face more sturdy cuts to secure a new bailout from europe well the appointment was part of a cabinet reshuffle aimed at appeasing those who were offering fierce resistance on the streets of the capitol hill r.t. sarah furthest caught up in the middle of the violent protests with the clashes between the police and the protesters still going on. in the states need to head. in the crowd you can see. out along the fence larry that will build a great. people here wondering exactly what's going on at the moment the police trying to find the crowd that violent still breaking out. by lot of the people on the street p.c. many people just simply with the gas small still they really don't want any old

film that is being sent that the people who are behind the provoking the police people still missing back on the central state even though you can have it got to link sets off by the place they turned out to protest against this proposed to start there i agree about the economic situation that's been happening that country and they want it or not going to be able to head because the police are about to leave. we can really see the tensions between the people cranks into the crowd the police out there getting went to retaliate. the situation that terry saying that trying to put the facts in the police to try. them managing by the looks of things to push back the police actually off the such a square itself there's a lot of the protests to throwing things so i guess since we spoke to some of the main organizers from the tea.
