4:32 pm
a baton. 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 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 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 other shipmates along for the riots so it's not just. so . it wasn't long before we were doing it. and as the. fixed up
4:33 pm
the rigging i took the rudder. i should be this is pretty. beautiful. great day just to 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 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 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
4:34 pm
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. tree village chores and once they've checked out to us it's time to really get into the swing of things. this is a way to learn about the prosperity a dusty museum displays just the right. for 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
4:35 pm
diverse. legend has it when god was creating the world he planted the tiger and 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 plane trees to grapes and the same can be said about our fauna. this collection of local wildlife is a very popular exhibits and it 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. really is about an hour's drive from the city and it's a refuge for injured. from the local region. its role and. crew has been taking in lost souls for the best part of twenty years
4:36 pm
and who took me to meet some of the park's most recent arrivals. these are himalayan bears hopefully will 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 us and survive being separated from their mothers these babies are only just a few months old. rescued. from hunter trophies for china as well so it's a very close. fortunate behind. but you can see just about five months old really pretty big. but this is most famous resident is considerably bigger. as one of the rarest
4:37 pm
cats left on the entire planet and i'm 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 threats 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
4:38 pm
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 launches thought it's wandering around here too so here are some rather unwilling students of tiger school he's too little there as well. very useful when you're learning how to hunt. fortunately for bugs. there are. in residence at the moment so it continues to hold the running away from will be a few curious. but there are lots of making sure we continue.
4:39 pm
back in the city has been invited to see a different sort of conservation projects involving four wheels rather than four bags 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. and it's not just the direct zero of his passionate about he's got one of the largest collections of models in eastern russia. 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
4:40 pm
waiting for us in the carriage down. apparently this old truck delivered letters during the second war and the mechanics have been trying to get it back on the road . i think this one is almost most repair. c. runs got a magic touch. one of the most. for real russian classic but. it's the kids down here. post truck drives are good. but trucks are just the tip of the iceberg. restoring.
4:41 pm
some of his success story. to ukrainian. most of these. special festivals but i was going to get a chance to take a listen to the specials. for any one of these things. because this is. you most of have to hit the gym to keep it under control. of these big powerful 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. be careful for many people.
4:42 pm
of this time. it was a lot easier to drive. impression it would have made on the bad guys. small list. 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 adventure.
4:43 pm
the official. touch from the. life on the go. video on demand. old comes and feeds with the palm of your. question on the. wealthy british. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy. run no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kinds a report.
4:44 pm
this is a table from the u.s. embassy in colombo to talk about here an apparent june seventh incident of extrajudicial executions the military according to the press that on that day they called nine guerrillas in combat to desiccation by instructs young couldn't you know and then 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 gorillas and presented as killed in action and this and this the 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
4:45 pm
knew they were happening they knew about links to paramilitary groups and yet. usaid continued to. be so much brighter if you move the song from phones to. start on t.v. don't come. on other channels to drop a couple of real russian classic polls of the both of us but to is ready to reach two months of pedestrians just yes it was time to watch the reps of it. no joy
4:46 pm
all 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 first to serve. it primarily concerns you. pavel has been involved with racing for twenty five years and now 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 distance. james sent up a little bit but. it turns out there's a knack to getting into a go carts but after a handy push. poses some young students but this is a sport that takes dedication and money mostly because of italian chef season
4:47 pm
japanese engines because several dollars they can really shift. races regularly at more than two hundred kilometers an hour and it's a 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. 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
4:48 pm
a brand new sounding board. so these have got to fit together perfectly so that we 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. q.c. and you destroy it but looking of diem's other instruments the results would be well worth it and also we'd cut out the old boards so i went to work on one of his handmade cent pieces. 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
4:49 pm
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 animal river but the fish is now critically endangered cameo is a valuable delicacy and poaching and overfishing have seen their numbers decline to such an extent that only two adult 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 farm 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 loose like two lovely stuff. combination of insects alone. and some tiny crustaceans are very delicious. but. the fish in these
4:50 pm
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 sturgeon 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 in the real shots at survival 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 death it leaves a months we've reached our quota it was time to drop them so the water so i'm writing style here because we're just about to head off to the river and hopefully give these special new lease of life releasing hundreds of liters of water it can
4:51 pm
be a bit tricky and we have to do a little riverside rescue work. so this is these so. 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 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 it's a few hundred kilos in weight and hopefully we've given him the best chance of making it because if they saw it hopefully he'll survive for 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 bar of school i was going to meet some people whose ancestors had
4:52 pm
lived this way for millennia. but. area has been home to the indigenous nano 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 festival. they're 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 a summer party of 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 that goes off without a hitch. everyone pitches in to help from the more mature to the very you.
4:53 pm
know what's your name you know james i'm not. so it's not. overly 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 fine. this spirit is the master of finance his name is put down but. after that. we'll have a torch perception would go where we're going to feed the spirit of water. today there will also be a dragon of the dragons as to have been borrowed from the chinese but it's not true they're an ancient culture too. this. is
4:54 pm
going to be one of the big sins pieces of tonight's. cereal can bring it up so it doesn't fall down then we can really see how the nominee celebrate the culture. as soon as we've finished people still to arrive. to watch a game of chalk which looks like a particularly dangerous blender volleyball and lacrosse. and then it was time for adults to drive. this is what the festival is really all about so it's for the next generation no 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 all chance for everyone in the community to get together and really celebrate their culture. the burbs may be
4:55 pm
a long way from us but it's worth the effort to get here this outpost of russia stories tells a rich history and a community that cares about their city and the future of its environment. takes fifteen to twenty million years for the planet to recover from a major extinction event for the planet is time we don't. it's been going on for months twenty twenty five years and since there's been an eco terrorist before there was even islamic fundamentalist terrorist in this country when the nine eleven happened the bush administration could not find any terrorists because the feds couldn't find any real terrorists they decided to take these young people who were accused of property sabotage and labeled them as terrorists someone you destroy property. with absolutely zero intention of harming
