fine for voicing critical opinions despite fierce opposition. next we travel to russia as of far east explore one of the country's most remote cities how about oscar situated just thirty kilometers from the chinese border in second place in twenty ten known for business of most suitable cities for private business in russia our special report on the way. just a few from the chinese. exactly a. bunch of you. get to enjoy one of. the region's ministers of. a million people and

a place that really sparkles in the summer. locals come to enjoy the city's. picturesque. and. there are plenty of places to work. and for the nature. of the town. now apparently this is one of two places in the whole of russia. in the wild now in eastern tradition the opening of the lotus flower petals of 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 sailor and resident and he offered to take me out on his yacht pulled my

wife of course. trains young sailors and we had a couple of the shipmates along for the ride which. so . it wasn't long before we were doing it. and as the. fixed up the rigging i took the rudder. i should be this is pretty 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 and get some great views. best way to get there 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 find out about 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. one hundred eighty thousand people step into this building every year and they get to enjoy a huge collection of exhibits from live local river residents to back in time. one of the things that sets this place apart from most russian museums is that you can interact with the exhibits a day 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 store immediately have been taking. century village chores. to use it's time to really get into the swing of things. this is a way to learn about the prospect of the dusty museum displays just the right.

the kids to carry on the party and headed down to meet me the museum's director who 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. 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 grapes and the same can be said about our fauna. this collection of local wildlife is a very popular exhibits and includes one of the most famous and rare animals in russia. is one of the main reasons why the target here is so terribly endangered but there is a place not too far from

a bar which is doing its bit trying make sure the species doesn't. is about an hour's drive from the city and it's a refuge for injured. from the local region. it roland. has been taking in lost souls for the best part of twenty years and who 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 warders looked after more than two hundred beds over the years and despite a lack of funds most of you survive being separated from their mothers these babies are just a few moments old. trophies for china as well so it's a very close. fortunate behind. but

you can see just about five months old really pretty. well. but this is most famous resident is considerably bigger. as one of the rarest cats left on the planet and a more tiger. twenty years old. and still. coming to say. hello. quite. i'm so tempted to try and. he's got my teeth. was born here was a baby in the early ninety's and he's been here ever since he's the sanctuary's only permanent resident and despite being positively ancient for a tiger there's still plenty of life in him. the animal tiger is the biggest cats

on the planet and can weigh more than three hundred kilos but their numbers are under serious threat and it's estimated there are only around four hundred fifty left in russia's wilderness. and one is 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. 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 where the has in the forests around here would be the tigers natural prey and there are a few launch a top it's wandering around here to here also some rather unwilling students of tiger school these two little there as well. very useful when you know how to hunt. fortunately for bugs. there are. presidents of the moment.

continues to hold the running away from will be a few curious. but there are lots of making sure the. speech. back in the city has been invited to see a different sort of conservation projects involving four wheels rather than four legs and seeing cars like this is enough to bring back a few bad memories of frustrated instructors the old mine a fault because this is where people 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 been to automobiles.

the director of his passionate about he's got one of the largest collections of models in eastern russia. very true cars of all makes including those that were made in the one nine hundred thirty s. here you see four makes and military vehicles and one of those military models was waiting for us in the garridge down. apparently 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 this one is one most most repair. c. runs with the magic touch. one of the most. a real russian classic back and. the keys down here.

post truck drives are good. but trucks are just the tip of the iceberg. restoring. some of his success story. to ukrainian. most of these. special festivals but i was going to get a chance take a listen to the specials first. because this is. you must have had to hit the gym to keep it under control. of these big powerful this was just a dream for most of us citizens back in the one nine hundred sixty s.

. but it seems that. one point. this may be the best police. for many people. of this tiny beach it was a lot easier to drive. been pushing that would have made all the bad guys. have the smallest. criminals i'm not sure if it would be a good thing. because either they. decided to. it's in my mini most beach would have to suffice but that

wasn't going to be my last job on the bench about. the looming. just say. six. weeks. on a. wealthy british style.

market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with max culture for our no holds barred mobile financial headlines cons a report. six . in the sun. so it's a luxury hotels bangkok's on the mend. a

couple of real russian classic. just yes. the recipes. the rules is all well and good but sometimes you just feel

a need for speed and there's a place in a bar is where you really can come. your aim is to drive carefully. your primary concerns you. have always been involved with racing for twenty five years and then runs the stream. which takes part in competitions all over the russian far east he's already trained several local champions including his son who offered to show me the ropes assuming i could fit in the car. more birds too big for the. james. but that it turns out there's a knack to getting into a go cart. push. pull in some young students but this is a school that takes dedication and money mostly because of the telly and she sees

in japanese engines simple. they can really shift. races regularly more than two hundred and it's a serious adrenaline rush. are you ok. i'll tell you. but it is a little bit difficult when you're eating. it was time to take things a little easier and i went off to find a. date. looks like these guys over here have gone into some double glazing in one of the old buildings but. i know someone is going to be able to make good use of it all when it's alive. but the muses reclaimed pieces to repair and refurbish musical instruments and we were going to give an old good song a new lease of life. and my siberian stone pine window sill was going to become

a brand new sounding board. so these are good to fit together perfectly can make the front of. them once the planks have been playing down the old sounding board has to be removed. sorting through your kit so. it's. possible to be you'll see when you destroy a guitar but looking at dean's other instruments the results would be well worth it and also would cut out the old bullets i went to work on one of his handmade centerpieces. unfortunately putting everything together can take up to 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 friends. i

don't even to see one conservation sent to me but it's not just land mammals that are getting a helping hand here. around fifteen years ago there were hundreds of tons of sturgeon and kalugin in the river but the fish is now critically endangered pecan vo is a valuable delicacy and poaching and overfishing have seen their numbers decline to such an extent that only two i don't specimens were documented to have been cool in this area in two thousand and nine. it's a situation of the dean of ski fish mom is trying to change the team in his work as a breeding young imo sturgeon and kaluga are in captivity and then returning them to the wilds so this is where they keep the food for the fish and loose like particularly lovely stuff. combination of insects alone. it would flow. and some tiny crustaceans very delicious. but.

the fish in these tanks are only a few months old but a full grown kaluga can live as long as a human to a town. is easy fishing boy about two thousand of these baby fish been in here and you can see the pretty lively. now there anyway about thirty to forty grams but that's the perfect science to give them the real schulze it's available in the river i think i can probably safely say that this may be the only thought in my life i'm ever going to see a fish vacuum cleaner this is what is transporting our kaluga at all stages into the fact that we can then release it into the river later. it's like a quick did it leave a months we've reached our quota it was time to drive them to the water so i'm riding in style here because we're just about to head off to the river and hopefully give these fish new lease of life releasing hundreds of liters of water

at once can be a bit tricky and we have to do a little river solid rescue work. so this is they so slow to think of this very soon we'll be taking them out on to the boats. and hope they will find the right spot in the river so they can begin. the phones 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. it's amazing to think that just a few years this little guy could be a few metres wide and a few hundred kilos in weight and hopefully we've given him the best chance of making it because what they saw is 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 a bar of school i was going to meet some people whose ancestors had lived this way for millennia. but. area has been home to the indigenous non-o. which in their language means people for thousands of years and by the sounds of it . i think there is some kind of festival. there are around twelve thousand living in russia and they're the largest of the indigenous tribes it's a widespread community but every year people come back for some music. but it does take quite a bit of organizing. hopefully we will really need this but just in case it doesn't rain. they should 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.

top of the what's your name you know. i'm not. so it's not. over friendly. this kind of event gets everyone excited a little. today we're going to feed the spirit of finance. this spirit is the master of finance his name is put down but. after that. we'll have a touch perception where we're going to feel the spirit of what. today there will also be a dragon and. dragons i stand to have been borrowed from the chinese but it's not true they're an ancient culture to. this.

is going to be one of the big centerpieces of. syria. where we can really see. how. soon as we've finished people still to. watch a game. which looks like a particularly dangerous blend of the cross. and then it was time for dull sing. this is what the festival is really all about charts for the next generation to get together and practice those traditions of 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 burbs may be

a long way from but it's worth the effort to get here the post of russia's far east has a rich history and a community that cares about their city and the future of its environment. this is a table from the u.s. embassy in colombo to talk about here it apparent june seventh incident of extrajudicial executions the military reported to the press that on that day to kill nine guerrillas in combat the best addition by instructs you including you know. strongly suggest however that the nine were executed by the army and then dressed in military fatigues. explain 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 collaboration this is a cia document central intelligence agency they knew about these activities they knew they were happening they knew about links to paramilitary groups and yet u.s. aid continued to flow. down the official. told touch from the top still. life. video on demand. my old posts and already just feeds with the palm of your. questions.
