journalists are outraged and hungry ever and you know all that could effectively sonnets critics of the government if in the legislation and dangerous press freedom and the very notion of democracy. i think that with more new stores more developments in less than thirty minutes from the mean time we take you to the city of how about office in russia's far east it lies just a few kilometers from the chinese border and its people that boast a unique mix of cultures. sharing of times and will strain the situation just a few kilometers from the chinese border post isn't exactly a short shot from moscow plus if you don't mind a bit of jetlag you'll get to enjoy one of the most attractive cities in russia's far east.

a border skews the region's administrative center homes more than half a million people in a place that really sparkles in the summer. and locals come out in force to enjoy the city's wide bowl of a picturesque lasts and down by the river saw and there are plenty of places to work on your town. and for the nature. very close to a botanical. 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 to signify the expansion of the soul so i'm hoping that my trip to her 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 out. trains young sailors and we had a couple of shipmates along for the ride. so hopefully we'll go. it wasn't long before we were doing it. and as the guys fixed up the rigging i took the rudder. i see 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 and get some great news. 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 how bars. if you want to find out about the 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 back in 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 store immediately have been taking part in some nineteenth century village chores and once they've checked out all the old tunes it's time to really get into the swing of things you know this this is

a way to live out the cost of the dusty displays the civil rights. that's a problem the recent rush. by the kids to carry on the party and headed down to meet nicolo ruben the museum's director did offer 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 coalition of local wildlife is a very popular exhibits and includes one of the most famous and rare animals in russia poaches one of the main reasons why they are more target here is so terribly

endangered but there is a place not too far from the forest which is doing its bit trying make sure the species doesn't. tree is about an hour's drive from the city limits refuge for injured or anonymous from the local region. it's rolling over and by edward krugel 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. everyone has looked after more than two hundred beds over the years and despite a lack of funds most of you often survive being separated from their mothers as the babies are only just a few months old they were rescued in winter. because the. hunters

trophies for use in china as well so it's very close. and these are the unfortunate ones who are left behind but you can see for about five months old. but this is most famous resident is considerably bigger. one of the rarest cats left. i know. twenty years old and still. coming to say. i'm so tempted to try and. he's going to take. luther was born here was a baby in the early ninety's and he's been here ever since he's the sanctuaries only permanent residence and disappoint being positively ancient for

a tiger and still plenty of life in him. beyond tiger is the biggest cats on the planet and can weigh more than three hundred kilos but their numbers are under serious threats and it's estimated there are only around four hundred fifty 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 any 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 the heads and forests around here tigers natural prey and there are a few large dog it's wandering around here to hear also some rather than willing students of tiger school his two little there as well. very

useful when you're learning how to hunt. fortunately for bugs. there are no one is in residence at the moment so if the law continues to hold the running away from will be a few curious tourists. but they're a vital part of making sure we contain the force of suspicion. back in the city hundred invited to see a different sort of conservation projects involving four wheels and 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 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 bins into automobiles. but it's not just the direct anatoly nazir of is passionate about he's got one of the largest collections of models in eastern russia. 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 makes and military vehicles and one of those military models was waiting for us in the carriage downstairs. only this old truck delivered letters during the second world war and the mechanics in trying to get it back on the road i think this one is almost almost. see runs with the magic touch. one of the most. popular

a real russian classic but it fits him. ok. down here ok. let's get this work. post truck arrives again. but trucks are just the tip of the iceberg. and it's only as restoring the most nights and classic russian and foreign coals some of the success stories outside. from vintage folders to ukrainian beatles most of these causes you see the launch of day on national holidays and special festivals but i was going to get a chance take a couple of these specials the first day. for i mean one of these things would have me if you could be very strong come down turn because this is going to be the last this. is. i can tell. you most

of have to hit the gym so keep it under control but only one of these big powerful walvis was just a dream for most of us citizens back in the one nine hundred sixty s. . but it seems that all communist collapse my point. is maybe the best police car ever invented. the concept was really this. careful formally people were smart. explained ok. so i figured out the gearbox of this time. it was a lot easier to drive one would have not seen or been pushed in it would have made on the bad guys. you know so i envy. these russian police but. you have the world's smallest. possibly funniest car with which to catch criminals i'm not sure if it would be a good day i know because either they just sort of stop and pull out a lot that you were trying to catch them in this all they'd run too fast because

they wouldn't be seen dead. but decided that if i didn't want to permanently back a couple of circuits in my mini most of beechwood have sufficed. going to be my last in a bomb adventure. well . knew the latest. science students are college from the realm of russia. we dumped the future of coverage. on. the elite. are lucky. just

so. it's just so pissed super. costs. come up. wealthy british style. the tightly. market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cars are there are no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to kaiser report on our cheek.

for. if. the motion would be soon which brighten if you knew about someone from funniest impressions. sneeze for instance hot seat belts come. see cool.

i had a chance to drive a couple of real russian classic cars in advance so that to me i was ready to return to my desk just yes it was time to walk the rest of it. now join me along to play all the rules is all well and good but sometimes you just feel a need for speed and there's a place in the bars where you really can come and burn some rather whatever your aim is to drive carefully first to circle as you hear me run it primarily concerns you know what he has been involved with racing for twenty five years and then runs the streamer 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. my buds too big for the.

james a little bit but look at that. there's an axe a getting into a go cart but after a handy push tools. some young students but this is a school that takes dedication and money most of the cost of a tele i'm sure season japanese engines because simple dollars they can shift. races regularly move into. serious adrenaline rush. are you ok. i'll tell you what that is all some fun but is a little bit difficult when you're eating. 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 are here for some double glazing in one of the old buildings but. i know someone is going to be able to make good use of this. but the news is reclaimed pieces to repair and refurbish musical instruments and we were going to give an old a new lease of life. and my siberian stone pine window sill was going to become a brand new sound. to fit together perfectly. and once the planks have been playing down the old sounding board to be removed. the second week. sorting through you. keep the blade it's. what you see you destroy it's all good looking at video games other instruments the results would be well worth. and also because of the old bulls i

went to work on one of his handmade sense pieces. unfortunately putting everything together can take up to the team wanted to show me exactly one of his creations the two of. you never thought that an old couple with friends. i don't even see one conservation sense and a bar of soap but it's not just land mammals that are getting a helping hand here. around fifteen years ago there were hundreds of tonnes of sturgeon in kalugin in the animal river but the fish is now critically endangered as they can be or is a valuable delicacy and poaching and overfishing have seen their numbers decline to such an extent that only two adults specimens were documented to have been cool in this area in two thousand and nine is a situation of the demus the fish farm is trying to change the gene in his work as

a breeding young animal sturgeon includer in captivity and then returning them to the walls so this is where they keep the food for the fish it looks like particularly lovely stuff. combination all insects alone the. wealth. and some tiny cost ations i mean very delicious we understood it but doesn't. the fish in these tanks are only a few bones old but a full grown kaluga can live as long as a human way up to a time. easy facing boy about two thousand of these babies been in here and you can see the pretty lively. now there anyway about thirty to forty grams that's the perfect science to give them a real shot at survival in the rhythm of your can probably safely say that this may be the only thought in my life i've met are going to see

a fish back you know this is what is transposing our kaluga and our stage and into the fact that we can then release it into the river later. it's like a quick death it leaves a means we've reached our quota it was time to drop them so there was. some rioting 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 leaves of water at once can be a bit tricky and we have to do a little rid of solid rescue work. so this is nice so slow it's a big deal with this fish very soon we'll be taking them out on to the boats. that hopefully will find the right spot in the river so they can begin a new life the phones only been operating since two thousand and eight with a 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 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 for amazing good luck. it really did feel that we were helping to regenerate the river that's been supporting the people of this region since time immemorial. before i left a bar of i was going to meet some people whose ancestors have lived this way for millennia. the syrian 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 they're preparing for some kind of a storm. they're around twelve thousand living in russia and they're the largest of you indigenous tribes it's

a widespread community but every year people come back for a summer party of music and dance but it does take quite a bit. hopefully we will really need this but just in case it doesn't rain. and be able to keep everything and ice and dry so this goes off without a hitch. everyone pitches in to help from the more mature to the very. bottom of what's your name you know james i'm not here. so it's not. over friendly which is nice. this kind of then gets everyone excited and they don't hold back on the entertainment. the way. today we're going to feed the spirit of fun. this spirit is the master of find his name is

pajama but. after that. we'll have a torch perception where we're going to feed the skaters of what time. of the day there will also be a dragon of the dragons is that you have been borat from the chinese but it's not true that they're an ancient political culture to. write this. is going to be. some pieces of too much basi. cereal can bring it up so it doesn't fall down everything really see how the nominee celebrate the culture. as soon as we've finished people still to roy. jones watch a game of chalk which looks like a particularly dangerous blend the volley ball and the cross. and then it was joy of adults to dress.

is what the festival is really all about so it's for the next generation oh no need to get together and practice the citizens 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 worst may be a long way from moscow but it's worth the effort to get here is outpost of russia still raised has a rich history and a community that cares about the city and the future of its environment.
