there's a michael steele region deep in the sun darien forest is one of russia's newest territories formed in two thousand and eight it brought together the chips on the argument regions and with it a striking mix of asian and european culture of traveling around you can find buddhist temples spooling national parks and remote villages that still practice traditions that date back a thousand years but if you're flowing here in the regions vibrant capital. one of your a new place of course the best way to get to know it is to have a local show you around and i know one lady here has promised to send me a bit of what life is like in the false life.

children's homes just over three hundred thousand people and it's a real mismatch of styles it's one of the only cities in russia that's based on a grid system and the downtown area has some beautiful european influenced architecture and the further you roll it the more soviet and industrial it becomes . if you don't mind your bug in your teeth this is a great way to see the city the stanislaw her and her friends on the only point is it's all because these guys prefer to ride off the roads. motorcycle team is based we call the trans boy call motor sports federation the sport team is made up of more than thirty minutes and the training cost is just over here. most of the team are away at a competition so there was still plenty of people out for a quiet day of risking life and limb.

to say broken bones here and there and having fun. and if a seven year old can make it around the track in one piece come home right. well once i figured out how to stop the thing from stalling at least for. right sarsi i'm making my own. never again. ok so i might not be a natural rebel without a cause but there are some people in chicks all who do live rather unconventional lives. probably to say the recycling projects around russia still in their infancy but i know one man around here. you know exactly what to do with that. and there are certain. things might be what america really. you go on. ski has developed

a whole new take on hitting the bottle. saw an engineer who just can't stop building i want all the really expensive bricks and there are plenty of alternatives just lying around. many bottles if he pulls up over the years you know mineral water beer and the like will have difficulty getting rid of them so i thought i might as well use them for a good purpose so the first thing i made was a bathroom a nice and warm place. and as time went by all the projects crop talk. like this purple tower for instance from the inside it may be all counties version of the lenin was a limb. this. put up top it's a place for the kids to play and help with the gardening to. some yeah this is my swimming pool has a double purpose but you prefer still children swim in the water and then it's used to watering plants and then we'll fill the swimming pool up again flamingo out away

from wolfie orbits the earth. ok these projects have made him a bit of a local celebrity he's always had plenty of fans to bring him supplies luxury luxury village news. and you could keep up with a new. country look coming and going for it to seventy eight's people to collect these bottles even a particularly when everyone is broke off with. each building normally takes years to complete it isn't slowing down his property empire is next one is an old chapel and he's always looking for willing volunteers if you want to try and with a few quick tips from the most i was well on my way to an architectural triumph. louis hold work in the hot sun makes a man thirsty. come prepared sadly i don't have to stay and help or how to

finish this project but i can at least help contribute to the building materials. on the job as incurred. which is of course because my next stop was going to take some serious concentration if i didn't want to end up with a black. eye. from. the martial artist as. this is ten c. karate club the biggest and most successful in the city. it's run by alexander one of russia's most accomplished karate masters and he's a bully assisted by his son yevgeny he's only a first black belt so of course i was in for an easy ride. this painful day. it's been corps a while since our throw to roundhouse kick in anger here again in an intensive

refresher course. just quickly in here we're liable to get cracked over the head. has been teaching here since nine hundred ninety four and estimates he's trained thousand students. percent of the city's population. this is a man who says he wants to. blindfolded. when he offered me a little. play instruction. take. mean fighting machine. was just not good and i wanted to find somewhere in the city to relax and recuperate. hundred kilometers from the chinese border and there's

a thriving community here along with. their relatives there are almost no russians working in this chinese medicine center a whole range of different treatments. he was particularly effective and he was always the. most. this is supposed to be great for your circulation and your joints. it also happens to be one of the most agonizing things ever experience. when you just relax and do the thing. it does get better the longer your lawyer but i'm still counting down the fifteen

minute silence and waits. for. us to see. this new. world. order for such a small person was capable of inflicting so much pain and i was any health way through the treatments. right on hoping that this procedure is good but both gentle and refreshing the first because now my back row feels like he's had an encounter with a tiger. understandably i was a little nervous so i climbed on to my next plinth but my instructor on dres soon be completely relaxed. ready for some relief at least until i noticed him guessing

i was a like. the very moment of. the course of the little girl so i meet with him. good to. see the world through. they may have been using me as a human flown by but it's also supposed to be great for the secularization and compared to those volatile voyles this is a walk in the park. not sure that most kids sucked up into little gloves boils book . is required. i guess those two things because what she will ok the boy. with my body centuries of chinese wisdom it was time to seek out some spiritual healing too and that meant getting out of the city. not far from the capital is one of the areas most beautiful nature stalls . service and the national park it's the biggest national

park in the whole region and it's centered around a series of sacred buddhist monk humans unfortunately most of them high up on the hills which means if i'm going to see them. a bit of a trek ahead of. course i picked one of the hottest days of the year to do. this there's plenty of refreshment available. the trucks are said to have been here for millennia and each visit their response to do their bit to keep unclear. piles of stones but you can see here are made by the pilgrims taking the trek up into the hills it's traditional to remove obstacles from your part sorry that's obviously helps you but also the others who are coming to follow in your footsteps and of course never hurt

a bit of good karma. it can be easy to get lost here if you don't know where you're going but i was lucky enough to have my guide by year waiting for me and one of the park's most spectacular points. was a buddhist who's been showing people around here for more than ten years and he knows. his most sacred places. this is a holy place in the home with his name means golders and one of the goddesses is right here in the wrong for not you can answer many questions and one can profit from the knowledge that just touch the rock with your hands and forage. poking my forehead. hopefully it's supposed to impart some wisdom to me.

stay. but there are plenty of opportunities to draw on with god's knowledge here dozens of pilgrims journey here almost every day to make offerings will seek guidance in the parks various shrines and most of them are headed for one particular destination. it's been a long hot track but it's finally almost at the end because just behind me is the holiest sites for the buddhists in the whole of this park it's called the gates cathedral and people believe that it actually marks the entrance to paradise. take a climb up the stairway to heaven. kohat as a cold drink the waiting room here then the. more you lucky enough to have the spirit speak to you or not is definitely a special energy about how high. incredible

views and natural monoliths make this a memorable trip i was looking forward to seeing more of the reasons for this treasures. cashers that so much i can tell you the lottery winners of course were trying to save an empire in disarray rupert murdoch and his immense media assets were under investigation in what is being called voice mail is just. a cameraman here broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today on the big picture.

elma a national park is an amazing experience for both hikers and pilgrims alike but. can be found in the region. buddhism plays a major role in culture in fact the region is home to the two oldest but it's temples in the whole of the country but it's not just people spiritual wellbeing that they're concerned with here they've also got a pretty serious academic program. sometime police homes who are around two hundred monks and only students and there's always the two documents behind. chichi. course of such discussions the students learn the philosophic truth of. your game is the senior monk here give me a tour of the impressive temple grounds. it was built back in the late eighteenth seventy's but fell into disrepair during the soviet union and for the last twenty

years you have gagne and his brothers have been helping to restore it to its former glory. but the monks haven't only been rebuilding their temple they've also been restoring their academy. as an english teacher who's been working here since ninety nine for the students study here for five years and as well as languages and they focus heavily on tibet and sciences. one. greeted with these sciences five of these sciences and most of it you can teach to fit in that. he explained the types of polls. there are lots of different ones is what your polls tell you here are some things i'll leave all paul's kidding appalls different kinds of long run this

country. and all the others have to be of them worth a certain rate for fifteen years but are. over half the most important lessons concentration on distribution i do and they have some extremely well travelled professors so it was a few classes. for phillis the listeners this cheechoo all feel sympathy is bottom line he came from. his. former. and his friend. for nine years for it is far from over and won the story and now these he teaches if asked what language is he receives a bit. more as a veteran is not what it should be hi i decided it was time to good why am i on the monks for a while but these deep intellectual close's they do make you think. well they may

study it the five years but that doesn't mean that the philosophical question is still for the monks there apparently one of the favorites is simply how is it. who i am. ok that's something that probably would take a lifetime to figure out. but the people around here don't just like to exercise their minds there's plenty of healthy competition among the villages in this region especially when it comes to archery. but this is boman ship boria style and that's a little different. be all she's a macos had targets on the grounds and there are some fairly complicated rules. looks like a ridiculously accurate one and just gets one point as he's not this from there. each participant stands on the twenty or thirty meters back and get some to thirty two shots if you know the white tiles of the target zone he points any others

really want. it's a technique that takes years to master but when. i fancy myself as a bit of a. robin hood. you know i think let's give it a shot right. all the bozo made from birch bark and horn and they have kevlar strings so not much chance of those you know her in my ear is the most experienced daughter in the village so if i was going to get a lesson from anyone he's the man. of the church. it's good for the. dress and release. was a perfect form without an arrow. see how that thing didn't about it and then it was finally time to let loose ok so i need to line every. little white.

one point. when you. trust me. i decided to quit while i was ahead anyway compared to some of the other competitors i wasn't really dressed for the occasion. it was time to exploring some more of the local wilderness nowadays none of this territory is off limits but i was heading to a place to just twenty years ago i wouldn't even allow it anywhere near. where a huge areas of understood step in the region but in the middle there's one place that was closed from the outside world for more than twenty years during the soviet union. and it's because of this. is the largest uranium mine in the whole of russia and if fuels one foot of the country can get home. i was about to head four

hundred meters down into the sky mine which produces eighty percent of the country's uranium. from this morning. bill worries. me when you know you're. writing a. day. at least the. museums are constantly being dug outs and owens was among monday tracked down several levels. for the proposed. this. recent one of mine. with some pretty serious equipment to slip in these drills are used to pull holes in the rock which is then blasted with explosives and scooped up and dropped off bridges the

collection. a piece of movie radium all put hard to believe that within this is this small piece of radioactive material. and surprisingly i wasn't allowed to use any heavy machinery but then didn't going to do in the mining. you can't come down into a void like this and. of course. when you're dealing with one of the most potentially lethal substances on the planet. i want to be there for the support of. if the only thing you really need to suffer from down here is just inhalation butts in the four thousand tons of . the pit every day six tons of concentrated highly radioactive uranium

to sobering falls. so survive much. more without any noticeable effects. the reason was coming. to supernews to pick up in the region. hundreds of years have had a reputation for beautiful and ornate weaponry like this antiques over knife but like with any old thing sometimes you need to give it a bit of a touch up and there's a lady around here who really know how to put the sparkle back into things. as an artist and sold a smith but if you want something to look it's best she's the woman you can see. oh

i thought i'd check if i could get a discount by helping out with the cleaning. specific scrubbing he is a bit of elbow grease this is. very safe leave it's shining away there will be the envy of all of my next korea. ok i'm probably unlikely to ever attend a very out wedding but dreamer didn't want me to agree our family picnic the next day with a bit of a difference. they don't do things when they get together in these parts and i did today was being supplied by a lawyer shape. so this is actually the most important part of the ceremony where you have to do it with your head covered. you make an offering to the four corners of the earth.

is to ensure that the soul of the. goes to a different place and is welcomed in by the spirit and by god i left the guards to do what needed to be done and got ready to start cooking. so this is considered to be the biggest delicacy so take your mongolian boria speciality liver i'm sure sleek. interesting because in me which is still warm but the problem with freshness here. sealed the liver it was time for the second layer. so the meats now that it's been cooked is now wrapped in the facts and then we go back and cook it again this is a very special treat. exceptionally primal men meat and thought i. would be doing it.

truly only to have been able to share this experience with the reamer and her relatives. and authentic piece of the real family life the few westerners ever have a chance to be a part of. and it was a perfect tennis of my time as a michael screecher. culture is the same a shark encouraged by the lottery winners of the old world cup the flames of an empire in disarray rupert murdoch and his immense media assets run investigation in what is being called voicemail three is this.

morning's today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada from child support for a shelter all day. long.
