a few kilometers from the chinese border of boston exactly a short walk from moscow plus if you don't mind a bit of jetlag you're going to enjoy one of the most attractive cities in russia's far east. of the risk is the region's administrative center home for more than half a million people in a place that really small schools and some a. tourist some locals come out in force to enjoy the city's wide and picturesque west and down by the river saw it there are plenty of places to work on the town of . and for the nature. very close to. now apparently this is one of two places in the whole of russia. in the wild now in eastern tradition the opening of the. spokes to signify the expansion of the soul so i'm hoping that my trip is going to be as well and i was going to start my

journey down on the riverbank just over one hundred fifty years ago. it links russia with china and. it's a great way to see the city and. constantine is a lifelong. resident and he offered to take me out on his yacht. of course. helping. train young sailors and we had a couple of shipmates along for the rides. so hopefully we'll go. it wasn't long before we were doing it. and the guys fixed up the rigging. actually this is pretty easy perfect weather beautiful calm water great day just be messing around in boats this is the eleventh longest river in the

world but we were heading out to fall just enough to enjoy the water to get some great views. but that's not the best way to get snow this river i can't think of one that said. it was trying to head back to dry land and for me to really start discovering the bars . if you want to point out about a bar of history there's one place that you have to visit this is the museum of regional law and it's the biggest and the most visited museum in the whole of the country's far east. hundred nations thousand people step into this building every year and they get to enjoy a huge collection of exhibits from live local river residents to japanese question time. one of the things that sets this place apart from most russian museums is that you can interact with the exhibits and today we've got some guests who come

from even further east to see what life used to be like here in the far east of russia these schoolchildren a visiting from japan and the museum still immediately have been taking part in some nineteenth century village chores and once they've checked out all the old tools it's time to really get into the swing of things. this is a way to learn about the cost benefit just leave this place just the right color build up. the proper authorities in russia. for kids to carry on the party and headed down to meet with the reuben the museum's director has offered to give me a personal tour and he has his own theory on why the region's ecosystem is so diverse. legend has it that when god was creating the world he planted the tiger and the tropics but when he arrived here he only had a handful of seeds to toss around but he did have a bit of everything so we have

a wide variety of plants in these parts from plain trees to liana's to grapes and the same can be said about our fauna. this collection of local ward life is a very popular exhibits i mean flutes one of the most famous and rare animals in russia poaches one of the main reasons why we are more target here is so terribly endangered but there is a place not too far from a bar of which is doing its bit trying make sure the species doesn't die. with close wildlife sanctuary is about an hour's drive from the city and it's a refuge for injured. from the local region has. its role owned by edward crew who's been taking in lost souls for the best part of twenty years and he took me to meet some of the park's most recent arrivals. these are himalayan bears hopefully we'll be able to release them next spring but we need to feed them up first and. everyone has looked after more than two hundred beds

over the years and despite a lack of funds most of you will sense avoid being separated from their mothers the babies are only just a few months old they were rescued in winter. because the bigger bears a very popular for hunters trophies for use in china as well so it's very close. and these are the unfortunate ones behind but you can see for about five months old. but the zoos most famous resident is considerably bigger. one of the rarest cats left on the entire planet and i'm more tiger. twenty years old and still. coming to say. hello here.

i'm so tempted to try and. please god i think. i was born here was a baby in the early nineties and he's been here ever since he's the sanctuaries only permanent residence and disappoint being positively ancient for a tiger there's still plenty of life in him. the army is the biggest cats on the planet and way more than three hundred kilos but their numbers are under serious threats and it's estimated there are only around four hundred fifty he left in russia's wilderness. mourners doing his best to improve the chances he's raised and released almost a dozen young cubs but before he does they need special training is a little bit of this well unfortunately the lure of the. jungle being what it is these little guys are actually used when they have wild tigers here to train them how to hunt because this would be the hairs in the forests around here

would be tigers natural prey and there are a few large dog it's wandering around here to. hear also some rather unwilling students of tiger school these two little bear as well. very useful when your. fortunately for bugs. there are no one else like is in residence at the moment so if the law continues to hold the running away from the a few curious tourists. but there are vital parts of making sure we can take the forests of the region. back in the city have been invited to see a different sort of conservation projects involving four wheels rather than four legs. seeing cars like this is enough to bring back

a few bad memories of frustrated instructors and the old nine a fault because this is where people in have come to take their driving tests but the ministry of transport here isn't just concerned with getting new drivers started they're also responsible for getting some of the city's vincit automobiles . but it's not just the direct anatoly nazir of is passionate about it's got one of the largest collections of models in eastern russia i think that's very true here i've got cars of all makes including those that were made in the one nine hundred thirty s. here you see four maids and military vehicles and one of those military models was waiting for us in the carriage downstairs. this old truck delivered letters during the second world war and the mechanics have been trying to get it back on the road i think. it's. see.

magic touch. one of the most. popular. russian. chemists work. post truck drives again. but trucks are just the tip of the iceberg. and it's only as restoring the most nights of classic russian and foreign coals some of the success stories saw it. from vintage folders to ukrainian beatles most of these cause only see the launch of day on national holidays and special festivals but i was going to get a chance take

a listen to the specials the first bit. were any one of these things would lead you to be very strong come down turn because this is going to be the law of this theory . but i can tell. you most of have to hit the gym to keep it under control but only one of these big powerful vulgus was just a dream for most of us citizens back in the one nine hundred sixty s. . but it seems that all communist culp's one point. this may be the best police car ever invented. the insect was one of the smallest be careful for many people were smart oh. the next one ok. so i figured out the gearbox of this train. it was a lot easier to drive one would have mostly been pushing that would have made the bad guys. you know so and the fifties russian police but.

we have the world's smallest. impossibly funniest car with which to catch criminals i'm not sure if it would be a good day i know because either they disappear still can follow the law thing that you were trying to catch and then miss all they'd run too fast because they didn't want to be seen dead. i decided that if i didn't want to permanently back a couple of circuits in my mini most beechwood have to suffice but that wasn't going to be my last job on the bench.

just so. if. british scientists. find out what's really happening to the global economy. for no holds the global financial headlines. as a report. in

the for. the time called the watergate hotel and. marriage call child hotel. suite hotel one called the imperial. hotel. new supply and spun. and spun out to be a one world cruise hotel a discovery piece hotel chill's young. entrepreneur a. case.

in israel. your recent. financial struggle couple of real russian classic cars and. was ready for its best just yet it was time to book the lives of its. closure on. the rules is all well and good but sometimes you just feel a need for speed and there's a place in a forest where you really can come and. watch your aim is to drive carefully first to circle and you hear me in primary concerns you. have always been involved with racing for twenty five years and then runs the street club which takes part in competitions all over the russian far east he's already trained several local champions including his son misha who offered to show me the ropes assuming i could fit in a car of course. for about three big.

james stand up a little bit but look at that but i need. to get into a go cos. some film students this is a school that takes dedication and money mostly because of a television show season japanese engines they call simple. they can shift. races regularly move into. serious adrenaline rush. are you ok. i'll tell you what. it is a little bit difficult when you're eating mrs schumacher is dust here. it was time to take things a little easier and i went off to find a man with

a rather more sedate hobby. looks like these guys over here going into some double glazing in one of the old buildings but. i know someone is going to be able to make good use of an old window so like this. but the news is reclaimed pieces to repair and refurbish musical instruments and we were going to give an old gets a new lease of life. and my siberian stone pine window sill was going to become a brand new sounding board. to fit together perfectly suited and can make the front tire. and once the planks have been playing down the old sounding board has to be removed there's a proper technique to. sorting through. the blade uprights. but you'll see you destroy it's no good looking and that deems other instruments the results will be well worth it and last week because of the

old boards i went some work on one of his hand made sense pieces. fortunately putting everything together can take up some of the team wanted to show me exactly what one of his creations had to offer. never thought that an old dog and a couple of window friends didn't sound so good. i don't even just the one conservation sense. but it's not just land mammals that i get to get helping hands. around fifteen years ago there were hundreds of tonnes of sturgeon and kalugin in the river but the fish is now critically endangered. is a valuable delicacy and poaching and overfishing have seen their numbers to climb to such an extent i don't need to i don't specimens with documents of course in this area in two thousand and nine it's a situation of the dilemma of the fish trying to change. his work as

a breeding young animal sturgeon and colluder in captivity and then returning them to the wilds so this is where they keep the food for the fish looks like. lovely stuff. combination of insightful oh. it would blow away in the and some tiny post nations are named very delicious young surgeons but. the fish in these tanks are only a few months old but a full grown kaluga can live as long as a human way up to a time. easy place to employ about two thousand of these babies in and here you can see a pretty lively. now there anyway about thirty to forty grams of past the perfect science to give in a real shot at survival in the river i think i can probably safely say that just maybe i only thought in my life i'm never going to see a fish truck you believe that this is what is transporting our kaluga and our

sturgeon into the fact that we can then release it into the river lake that. would like a quick did it leave a mess we've reached all quotes and it was time to drive themselves. so i'm riding in style here because we're just about to head off to the river i hopefully give the space new lease of life releasing hundreds of liters of water at once can be a bit tricky and we have to do a little riverside rescue work. so this is they so slow i have to think of this very soon we'll be taking about owns the boat. and hopefully we'll find the right spot in the river so they can begin. the forms only been operating since two thousand and eight but they plan to breed up to three million fish a year which should give the kaluga and the animal sturgeon a good chance of swimming in these waters in the decades to come. making to think that just a few years this little guy could be a few metres wide

a few hundred kilos in weight and hopefully we've given him the best chance of making it because of this size hopefully he'll survive or amazing good luck. it really did feel that we were helping to regenerate a river that's been supporting the people of this region since time immemorial. before i left the forests i was going to meet some people whose ancestors had lived this way for millennia. syria has been home to the indigenous no no i in their language means people for thousands of years and by the sounds of it. i think there is some kind of festival . there around twelve thousand and nine living in russia and the largest of the indigenous more triumphs it's widespread community but every year people come

back for a summer party of music and dance but it does take course if i'm going to. hopefully we will actually need this but just in case it doesn't rain. and be able to keep everything nice and dry so the festival goes off without a hitch. everyone pitches in to help from the more mature to the very. well come what's your name you know james i'm not here. so it's not. so very friendly here which is nice. this kind of event gets everyone excited and they don't hold back on the entertainment. today we're going to feed the spirit of fun. this spirit is the master of fine his name is put down. after that. will have

a torch perception where we're going to feel the spirit of water. today and there will also be a dragon of the dragons as having boris from the chinese but it's not true they're an ancient culture to. this. bill is going to be one of the big since a visit to. syria can bring it up so it doesn't fall down when we can really see how the nominee celebrate the culture. as soon as we've finished people still to roy. jones watch a game of chuck palmer which looks like a particularly dangerous splendor volleyball in the cross. and then it was time for jolt city drugs.

and. this is what the festival is really all about so it's for the next generation you know need to get together and practice those traditions that their ancestors have been carrying on for centuries it's a village celebration and i knew everyone in the community to get together and really celebrate their culture. the worst may be a long way from moscow but it's worth the effort to get here this outpost of russia's forest has a rich history and a community that cares about the city and the future of it's a bar mitzvah. this is a cable from the u.s. embassy in colombo to this talk about here it apparent june seventh incident of extrajudicial executions the military according to the press there on that they'd killed nine guerrillas and from that the decision by instruction on could you know

and their proclivity strongly suggest however that the nine were executed by the army and then dressed in military fatigues. displayed how you know this kind of phenomenon where bodies are dressed up as guerrillas and presented as killed in action and this and this idea that you need to produce bodies actually encouraged paramilitary cooperation this is a cia document the central intelligence agency they knew about these activities they knew they were happening they knew about links to paramilitary groups and yet usaid continued to throw. down the official quixotry cation. i pulled touch from the shops to. buy. video on demand. of my gold
