the media will take away press freedom the legislation threatens a radical overhaul of the country's media with a government agency is set to take control of the whole industry and there have been months later olds of those protesting against the change and. those are the headlines coming up our special report on russia's far east where echoes of this song that era mixed with traditions that are centuries old stay with us. just a few from the chinese. exactly a short. to enjoy one of. the region's ministries of home to more than half a million people and

a place that really sparkles in the summer. locals come to enjoy the city's wine and picturesque. and the river there are plenty of places to work. 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 a 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'd offered to take me out on his yacht pulled

my wife of course. constantine 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 the rigging i took the rudder. i see 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. of 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 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 thousand people step into this building every year and they get to enjoy a huge collection of exhibits from 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 with 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. 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 and headed down to meet me the museum's director who offered to give me a personal tool 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 grapes and the same can be said about our fauna. this collection of local wildlife is a very popular exhibits and in includes one of the most famous and rare animals in russia. is one of the main reasons why the more target here is so terribly endangered but there is a place not too far from

a bar which is doing its bit trying to make sure the species doesn't. is about an hour's drive from the city limits refuge for injured. from the local region. it roland. has 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 us and survive being separated from their mothers these babies are only just a few months old. cause. for trophies for china as well so it's

a very close. of the unfortunate behind. but you can see for 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 is 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 the 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 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 all gets 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 know how to hunt. fortunately for bugs. there are.

residents of the moment. continues to hold the running away from will be a few curious. but there are lots of making sure we continue. back in the city has been invited to see a different sort of conservation projects involving four wheels rather than fold legs. 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 anatoly nazir 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 waiting for us in the carriage 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 what most most repair. c. runs go to magic touch. one of the most. for real russian classic welcome. to the other. kids 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 the first. one of these things. this is. you must have had to hit the gym to keep it under control. of these big this was

just a dream for most of us citizens back in the one nine hundred sixty s. . but it seems that. this may be the best police. be careful for many people. to get books of this tiny beach it was a lot easier to drive. even pushing that would have made on the bad guys. you have the smallest. criminals i'm not sure if it would be a good thing. because either they. decided to. it's in my mid to reach would have to suffice but that

wasn't going to be my last adventure. leisurely is. just so.

it can hear dr swines policeman smile ministers why i just. didn't find me if i could slip through the night that i would get my kids out of here because i knew that what was going to happen was that he was going to kill me many victims don't understand that domestic violence includes verbal abuse psychological abuse physical abuse and sexual abuse at least four million women are affected by abuse every year. as i saw that mostly. kill him in jail or he's going to kill it says. the old. bringing you the latest. science and technology from

a realm flush. with the future covered. for the full story we've got it for. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. of. brighton. soon from fans to impressions. totty dot com.

financial struggle couple of real russian classic cars and a bonus button was ready to return to the lines of the best just it was time to watch the reds a bit. closure on the old rules is all well and good but sometimes you just feel a need for speed and there's a place in a bars where you really can come and put some rubber. to drive carefully first to

serve. it primarily concerns you. pavel has 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 misha who offered to show me the ropes assuming i could fit in the car. more birds too big for the. james. but look at that it turns out there's a knack to getting into a go cart. poses some young students but this is a sport that takes dedication and money mostly because of italian chefs seasoned japanese engines because simple. they can appreciate.

races regularly at more than two hundred kilometers and it's a serious adrenaline rush. are you ok. i tell you what is awesome fun but 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 in for some double glazing in one of the old buildings but. i know someone is going to be able to make good use of it. but the muses 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. so the fit together perfectly can make the front of.

the planks have been plain down. to be removed. sorting through your. roots. you see destroying it but looking at dean's other instruments the results would be well worth. and also we've cut out the old bullets and 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 one of his creations how to offer. never thought that an old dog and a couple of friends. i don't even to see one conservation since i'm in 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 tons of sturgeon and kalugin in the animal river but the fish is now critically endangered they can be or 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 to in this area in two thousand and nine it's a situation that led to misty fish mom is trying to change the team in his work as a breeding young animal 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 particularly lovely stuff. combination of insects alone. 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 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 a real shot 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 and this is what is transporting our kaluga at all sturgeon 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 us. so i'm riding in style here as 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 it can be a bit tricky and we have to do a little river side rescue work. so this is these sorts lloyd

to think of. 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 edge and 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 the 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 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 the festival goes off without a hitch. everyone pitches in to help from the more mature to the very you. know what's your name you know james i'm not. so it's not.

over 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 find his name but. after that. we'll have a torch perception where we're going to feed the spirit of. the day 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 going to be one of the big centerpieces of. syria

can bring it up. and we can really see how the nominee celebrate the culture. as soon as we've finished people started to arrive. to watch a game of chalk which looks like a particularly dangerous splendor 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 oh 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 everyone in the community to get together and really celebrate their culture. burbs may be 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.
