formed in two thousand and eight it brought together the chips are on the arguing boria regions and with it a striking mix of asian and european culture. traveling around you can find buddhist temples spooling national parks and remote villages that still practice traditions to date back a thousand years but if you're flying here and be landing in the regions vibrant capital. whenever you're 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 who's promised to sew me a bit of what life is like in the fast lane. sure is herm's 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 orchid

section and the further you roll it the more soviet and industrial it becomes. if you don't mind your building your teeth this is a great way to see the city for stanislaw her and her friends on the only bike isn't it so. with these guys prefers a ride off the roads. motorcycle team is based we call the trans point 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 to competition but there are still plenty of people out for a quiet day of risking life and limb. to save broken bones here and there and having fun. and if a seven year old can make you around the truck in one piece. well once i figured
5:34 am
out how to stop the thing from stalling at least for. right society i'm making my own. never again. ok so i might not be a natural rebel without a cause but there are some people lynch who do live rather unconventional dives. probably to say that recycling projects around russia still in their infancy but i know one man around here. you know exactly what to do you know that. there are certain. things might be what america really oh. ok. ski has developed a whole new take on he's kind of. an engineer who just can't stop building and why bother with expensive bricks when there are plenty of alternatives just lying
5:35 am
around. many bottles if you clowns up over the years you know mineral water a beer and the like i had difficulty getting rid of them so i thought i might as well use them for a good purpose easy to do the first thing i made was a bathroom a nice and warm place. and as time went by and all the projects crop talking like this powerful tower for instance from the inside it may be all counties version of the london muslim. but up top it's a place for the kids to play and help with the gardening to. some yeah is my swimming pool but it has a double purpose which you insist on children swim in the water local five minutes used to watering plants and then we'll fill this filling pool up again a great deal throwing away the wolf the orbits the earth. or could these projects have made him a bit of a local celebrity he's always had plenty of fans to bring him supplies luxury
5:36 am
luxury village booth. and you can keep up with a new. country look coming up for it to seventy eight people to collect these bottles even a plant going to boil what everyone has brought up. each building normally takes years to complete it isn't slowing down his property empire is next one is an old bottle charcoal 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 his projects but i can at least help contribute to the building materials he would drink on the job is encouraged. with just one of course
5:37 am
because my next stop was going to take some serious concentration if i didn't want to end up with a black. eyed. shock. to most a lot of. 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 yet again he's only a first dunk black belt so of course i was in for an easy ride. all day somehow. it's been poured a while since on a throw to roundhouse kick in anger here gainey made sure i go an intensive refresher course. but you've got to dust yourself off quickly in here or you're liable to get cracked over the head. has been teaching here since nine hundred
5:38 am
ninety four and estimates he's trained a thousand students. of the city's population. this is a man who says he wants to attack his with his always blindfolded. when he offered me a little. plane struction. to take her medicine but. she. was just 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. they've brought their relatives there are almost no russians working in this chinese medicine center
5:39 am
a whole range of different treatments. he was particularly effective and he was. apparently this is supposed to be great for your circulation and your joints. it also happens to be one of the most things ever experience it's. just relax and do the thing. still counting down the fifteen minutes and waits. for. mr seed.
5:40 am
this new. world war. i would've thought such a small person was capable of inflicting so much pain and i was only hope way through the treatments. right i'm happy with the second procedures but both gentle and refreshing the first because now my back row feels 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 on dres soon me completely relaxed. ready for some relief at least until i noticed him getting out of the likes of. the girl with all my. knees with him. this is
5:41 am
a work show. 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 well we're not sure whether most kids sucked up into little gloves boils. them for years required. i guess those two things combined might she think will ok andre the boy. with my body chewed up by centuries of chinese wisdom he was trying to seek out some spiritual healing too and that meant getting out of the city. and not far from the capital is one of the areas most beautiful makes the stalls. so this is the national park and it's the biggest national park in the whole region and it's centered around a series of sacred buddhist monuments unfortunately most of them all high up on the hills which means if i'm going to see them. i've got a bit of
5:42 am
a trek ahead of. political science pick one of the hottest days of the year to do. this there's plenty of refreshment available. for trucks and said to have been here for millennia and each visit their response to do that bit to keep in flare. these piles of stones that you can see here i made by the pilgrims taking the trek up into the hills it's traditional to remove obstacles from your park so that obviously helps you but also the others who are coming to follow in your footsteps and of course you never have been calm. 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
5:43 am
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 long woods name means goddess and one of the goddesses is right here in the rock for much you can answer many questions and one can profit from the knowledge that just touched the rock with your hands and for it. poking my forehead through up. it's supposed to. stay. but there are plenty of opportunities to draw on the god's knowledge here dozens of children journey here almost every day to
5:44 am
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 fully marks the entrance to paradise. or. take a climb up the stairway to heaven. kohat as a cold drink the waiting room here the end of it. all much enough to have the spirit speak to you or not there's definitely a special energy about our. incredible views and natural monoliths make this a memorable trip and i was looking forward to seeing more of the region's produce
5:46 am
could the penitentiary system transform a criminal into a law abiding citizen. prisms life behind bars on r.g.p. . is an amazing experience for both hikers and pilgrims alike. can be found in the region. 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 well being that they're concerned with here it's also a pretty serious academic program. this time some time police home to around two hundred monks and lay students and there's always a good argument because. it's
5:47 am
a teaching. course so such discussions do. students learning the philosophic truth of. your game is the senior monk here and also to 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. of the monks haven't only been rebuilding the temple they've also been restoring their academy. she avers an english teacher who's been working here since ninety ninety four a student study here for five years and as well as language is an arts they focus heavily on sabbaton sciences. and that's. why great for the sciences fife publicizes and philosophically you can teach to fit that. explain the types of paul's past i
5:48 am
was. so there are lots of different models is what might or polls tell you something about. paul's kidney appalls different kind some long road. trip. and all hers has to be of the mark a certain rate fifteen years later. so perhaps the most important lesson is concentration on buddhist or some ideas and they have some extremely well travelled professors to class. often with the listeners this teach oil field most of. them are he came from. his. former utah and did they meet his family. for nine years through it's. called the monastery and now these he teaches
5:49 am
symbols he flounced what languages he writes and a bit. more intervention is not what it should be i decided it was time to get by him in the monks for a while but these deep intellectual close's they do make you think. well i may study it before ideas but that doesn't mean that the philosophical questions for the monks here apparently are one of the favorites is simply how is it. who i am. something that probably would take a lifetime to figure out. of 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 own shearing. but this is bowman should start and that's a little different. we all choose a moko to talk it's on the grounds and there are some fairly complicated rules.
5:50 am
about it it looks like a ridiculously accurate one he just has one point because he's not this from there . each participant stands either twenty or thirty meters back and get some thirty two shots if you know the white tiles of the target zone gets two points any others really want. it's a technique that takes years to master but when. i found some with over the bit of a. robin hood. though it's 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 you know her in my line here is the most experienced daughter in the village so if i was going to get a lesson from anyone he's the man. in the chair. so. dress and release.
5:51 am
perfect form without an arrow. and see how that saying didn't about that and then it was finally time to let loose ok. little white. one point. we have to get one of these people. really. trust me. i decided to quit while i was ahead anyway compared to some of the other competitors i was really dressed for the occasion of. 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 out anywhere near. their huge areas of understood speck in this region but in the middle there's one place that
5:52 am
was closed from the outside world for more than twenty years during the soviet union. it is because of this but it is the largest uranium mine in the whole of russia and it fuels one third of the country's nuclear power. i was about to head four hundred meters down into the prayer sky mine which produces eighty percent of the country's uranium. from this morning. the war is. new and you know you're going. right in a. day. that. you seams are constantly being dug outs and owens was a long monkey trench down several levels. for the. whole stream got this. brief report with
5:53 am
a mind. to some pretty serious quickly you see these drills they used to pull holes in the roll which is then blasted with explosives and scooped up and dropped off ready for collection. a piece of more uranium oh so 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 that didn't mean i was going to do in the. best you can come down if you avoid like this and. of course. when you're dealing with one of the most potentially lethal substances on the
5:54 am
planet i think i want to be there for the support of. the only thing you really likely to suffer from down here is just an election bus in the four thousand tons of coal the whole of the pit every day there's six tons of concentrated highly radioactive uranium to sobering falls. so survive most probably strip it to your radiant mind without any noticeable effects besides that . these bits made laying in. my time in the reason was coming to an end. to souvenirs to pick up in the region. hundreds of years have had a reputation for beautiful ornate weaponry like this antiques overnight but like with any old thing sometimes you need to give it a bit of a touch up and there's
5:55 am
a lady around here who really knows how to put the sparkle back into things. as an artist and so the smith and if you want something to look at 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. specific scrubbing he is. a chef leave us signing away there will be the envy of all of my next gloria wedding shots the congress. ok i'm probably unlikely to ever attend the berea wedding agreement did invite me to agree our family picnic the next day with a bit of a difference. they don't do things by halves when they get together in these parts and i did today was being supplied by a lawyer of sheep. so this is
5:56 am
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 the soul of the. goes to a different place and is welcomed by the spirit and by god i left the guys to do what needed to be done and got ready to start cooking. so this is considered to be the biggest delicacy among gold and glorious speciality the liver but. it just because they need which is still warm but it's no problem with freshness here then once we'd see all the liver it was time for the second leg. so the meats now that it's been cooked is now wrapped in
5:57 am
the facts and then we go back and cooking again this is a very special treat. for exceptionally primal men meat and thought i'd. be doing it to them. i felt truly only to have been able to share this experience with to remind her relatives. an authentic piece of the real family life the few westerners ever have a chance to be a part of. and it was a perfect tense in my time as a michael screecher. hungry for the full scoop we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers party.
