karate club the biggest and most successful in the city so it's run by alexander one of russia's most accomplished karate masters and. his son. he's a black belt of course i was in. an intensive course. quickly in here. has been teaching. and estimates he's trained thousand students. percent of the city's population. this is a man who says he wants to. blindfolded. me a little. to
5:36 am
take but. i wanted to find somewhere in the city to relax and recuperate. and. they've brought us there almost no russians working. different treatments. he was particularly effective. this is supposed to be great for you circulation. happens to be one of the.
5:37 am
things ever experience. then you just relax and have to do the thing. it does get better the longer your lawyer but i'm still counting down the fifteen minutes i had to wait. for his or. her seat. get. such a small person was capable of inflicting so much pain and i was only off way through
5:38 am
the treatment. right on happy with. that both gentle and refreshing the first because it was like he's had an encounter with a tyke. understandably i was a little nervous as i climbed on to my next plinth but my instructor soon had me completely relaxed. at least until i noticed him getting out to like. the very moment of my. knees with them. they may have been using me as a human flaw. but it's also supposed to be great for the secular. compared to those volatile voyles this is a walk in the park. most kids sucked up into little. pieces
5:39 am
. with. centuries of chinese wisdom it was time to seek out some spiritual healing too and that meant getting out of the city. from the capital is one of the areas most beautiful nature spots. so this is the national park it's the biggest national park in the whole region and it's centered around a series of sacred monuments unfortunately most of them are high up on the hills which means if i'm going to see them. i've got a bit of a trek ahead of me. and of course i take one of the hottest days of the year to do . this there's plenty of refreshment available.
5:40 am
the trucks are said to have been here for millennia and each visitor responds to do their bit to keep them flare. these piles of stones that 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 head step 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 parks most spectacular points. is a buddhist who's been showing people around here for more than ten years and he knows all of the most sacred places. this is a holy place and the mom wants name means goddess and one of the goddesses is right
5:41 am
here in the rock for much you can answer many questions and one can profit from her knowledge that just touch the rock with your hands and for it. by. touching my forehead to this rock who posts to impart some wisdom to me. it's good to stay. but there are plenty of opportunities to draw on the 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 to the end because just behind me is the
5:42 am
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. who is left to me to do. is take the stairway to heaven. have the spirit speak to your. special energy about. incredible views and. make this a memorable trip i was looking forward to seeing more of the region. for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. mission free accreditation free. for charges free. range and
5:43 am
three. free. free. old free broadcast. media projects a free media. is an amazing experience for both pilgrims alike. can be found in the region. 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. i've got a pretty serious academic program. two hundred monks and students. teaching.
5:44 am
course such discussions students learning the truth. game is the see me among. 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 the temple they've also been restoring their academy. as an english teacher has been working here since one nine hundred ninety four the students study here for five years and as well as languages in office they focus heavily on tibetan sciences tibetan mets and want. to board the sciences five for this sciences and felicity you can teach tippett and that's to.
5:45 am
explain the types of paul's. there are lots of different ones is what might your polls tell you what sort of thing i'll leave you will paul's kid nepal's different kinds some long balls right . and all the others have to be able to work a certain rate for fifteen years ok. so perhaps the most important lesson is concentrate on buddhist or similar ideas and they have some extremely well travelled professors. class. the listeners if teach oilfield will says. bottom line he can from. his. former thank you so it's good to meet his thing and. fall in line for. falsely claiming want to study and
5:46 am
nowadays he teaches symbols to follow what languages he writes and a bit. more intervention is not what it should be i decided it was time to get by the monks farewell but these deep intellectual closer. thank you make you think. they may study five but that doesn't mean that the philosophical question for the monks there apparently one of the favorites is simply how is it. who i am. 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 style and that's a little different. beyond choose a much go to targets on the ground and there are some fairly complicated rules.
5:47 am
this looks like a ridiculously accurate one he just has one point because he's not from there. each participant stands on the twenty or thirty meters back and gets up to thirty two shots if you know the white out of the target zone it's two points any of us only one. it's a technique that takes years to master when in. myself is a bit of a. robin hood problem with the let's let's give it a shot. bozo made from birch bark and horn and they have kevlar strings so not much chance of those snapping in a hurry my point here is the most experienced don't tour in the village so if i was going to get a lesson from anyone he's the man. in the chair. so . it's
5:48 am
a play dress and release. perfect form without an arrow. and see how that changes and about that now and then it was finally time to let loose ok so i need to line everything up. little white target. loose one point. trust me. i decided to quit while i was ahead anyway compared to some of the 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 that just twenty years ago i would have been anywhere near. there is
5:49 am
a huge areas of understood step in the region but in the middle as one place that was closed from the outside world for more than twenty years during the soviet union. and it's because of this but it is the largest uranium mine in the whole of russia and it fuels one of the countries. i was about to head four hundred meters down into the. mine which produces eighty percent of the country's uranium. they. knew seems a. trench.
5:50 am
this is pretty serious equipment. these drills are used to for holes in the rock which is then good with explosives it's scooped up and dropped ready for collection . a piece of. wood hard to believe but 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 a little mining of mine. comes out into void like this. when
5:51 am
you're dealing with one of the most potentially lethal substances on the planet. i want to be but it's. the only thing you'll really like me to suffer from down here is dust inhalation butts in the four thousand tons of coal they haul out of the pit every day there's six tons of concentrated highly radioactive uranium to sobering thought. so it's. probably. mine without any. of the above and these bits made laying in. my time in the reason was coming to an end but i still have to souvenirs to pick up in the region. hundreds of years the burri i've had a reputation for beautiful ornate weaponry like this. but like with any old
5:52 am
thing sometimes you need to give it a bit of a touch up and there's a lady around here who really knows how to put the sparkle back into things. as an artist and silversmith and if you want something to look its best she's the woman you go and see. and i thought i'd check if i could get discounts by helping out with the cleaning. specifics. it's. a bit of elbow grease this is. a shift lever shining away there will be the envy of all of my next gloria wedding. ok i'm probably unlikely to ever attend the wedding but dreamer did invite me to a 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. cheap.
5:53 am
so this is 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 by the spirit and by god i left to do what needed to be done and got ready to start cooking. so this is considered to be the biggest delicacy so particular mongolian speciality liver but. just because the meat which is still warm but it's. with freshness here then once we'd sealed the liver it was time for the
5:54 am
second leg. so the meat now that it's been cooked is now wrapped in the fat and then we go back and cook it again this is a very special treat. exceptionally primal men meet and fought. and been doing it for thousands and. i felt truly only to have been able to share this experience with to remember and her relatives. an authentic piece of period family life the few westerners ever have a chance to be a part of. and it was a perfect ten minutes of my time in a job i call school richer.
