need to know will take away press freedom the legislation freshness of radical overhaul of the country's media but a government agency fed to take control of the oil industry and that has been must play old so that it's tempting again for the change. there's the headlines coming up on special report on russia's far east where echoes of the soviet era mixed with traditions that entries old they're. sharing and times and will strain the situation just a few kilometers from the chinese big jump the borders to them exactly a short shot from moscow bunch of you don't mind a bit of juggling you're going to enjoy one of the most attractive cities in russia's far east. the border skews the region's administrative same sent home to more than half

a million people in a place that really small schools in the summer. tourists and locals come out in force to enjoy the city's wide and picturesque whereas and down by the river song it's there are plenty of places to work on your time. very close to. now apparently this is one of two places in the whole of russia. in the wilds now. the opening of the lotus flower petals 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. down on the riverbank. hundred fifty years ago. it links russia with china and. it's a great way to see the city. residents

and to take. trains young. and we had a. so . it wasn't long before we were doing it. and. i took the right to. be messing around and. this is. just enough to enjoy. for me. if you

want to find out about. this place that you have to visit this is the museum. and it's the biggest and the most visited museum in the whole of the country. step into this building every year and they get to enjoy a huge collection of exhibits from live local river residence 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 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 tools it's time to really get into the swing of things you know this this is a way to learn about the cost not to be

a dusty museum display is just the right colorful garden say it's a problem for recent russian cities. for kids to carry on the party and headed down to meet mccullough reuben 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 with legend has it 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 plane trees to grapes and the same can be said about our fauna. this collection of life is a very popular exhibits and it includes one of the most famous and rare animals in russia approaches one of the main reasons why the more tiger here is so terribly endangered but there is

a place not too far from us which is doing its bit trying to make sure the species doesn't die. tree is about an hour's drive from the city and it's a refuge for injured. from the local region. thank you it's really. 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 of being separated from their mothers the babies are only just a few months old they were rescued. because of the very popular for hunters for trophies for use in china as well so it's very close. and

of the unfortunate ones who are left 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 i'm. twenty years old. and still. oh. quite. i'm so tempted to try and touch. my t. . 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 despite being positively ancient for a tiger there's still plenty of life in him. beyond the biggest cats on the planet

and can play more than three hundred kilos but the numbers are under serious threats and it's estimated there are 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. 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 well the has in the forests around here would be the tiger's natural prey and there are a few gets wandering around here too. i'm willing students of tiger school he's too little there as well. for when you're learning how to hunt. fortunately for bugs.

is in residence at the moment. continues to. be running away from the a few curious. but there are lots of making sure we continue. back in the city i've 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 in her barsky 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 jordan to beale's. back out of it. 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. 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 foreign makes and military vehicles and one of those military models was waiting for us in the garridge downstairs. 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 almost almost repaired. see one's got a magic touch. can turn on. one of the most. real russian classics. ok. down here.

post truck rides are good. but trucks are just the tip of the iceberg. restoring. some of the success stories saw it. from. two 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. 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 all communist culp's weren't quite so. this may be the best police cut ever invented. to be careful for many people. to get books 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 of each would have to suffice both

isn't going to be my last job on the bench. loses. its tso. just so to. see.

it can hear dr swines policeman's wives minister's wife i just prayed that if you didn't find me if i could just live 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 those are my only two options i saw that either i'm gonna kill him in jail or he's going to kill him it seems.

brighton. moved from france to pressure. totty dot com.

financial instead of a couple of real russian classic cars and a bonus to me i was ready to return two months of the best just it was time to let the reps of it. know drawing in all the 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 but some. your aim is to drive carefully first to serve. it primarily concerns you. have always 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. but. it turns out there's a knack to getting into a go cart push towards. people who some young students but this is a sport that takes dedication and money mostly because of a talent show season japanese engines they call simple. they can shift. races regularly at more than two hundred kilometers an hour it's a serious adrenaline rush. are you ok. i'll tell you what is also 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 with a rather more sedate. 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. fit together perfectly make the front of. the planks have been playing down. to be removed. sorting through. q.c. destroying but looking at deems 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

center pieces. 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 couple with no friends and so. i don't even to see one conservation sense i'm in a bar of six 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 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 adults specimens were documented to have been cool 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 colluder in captivity and then returning them to the wilds so this is where they keep the food for the fish it looks like particularly lovely stuff. combination of insects alone. and some tiny crustaceans are 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. easy fishing boy about two thousand of these baby fish in 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 and this is what is transporting our kaluga at all stages

into the fact that we can then release it into the river lake that. would like a quick definitely a months we've reached our quota it was time to drop them so the water so i'm writing 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 riverside rescue work. so this is these so 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 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 it's 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 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 nine i 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. there are 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 music. but it does take quite

a bit. hopefully we will really need this but just in case it doesn't rain. they should be able to keep. thing nice and dry. 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 which is nice. this kind of gets everyone excited a little. 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 where we're going to feel the spirit of water. today there will also be a dragon and the dragons i stand to have been borrowed from the chinese but it's not true they're an ancient culture to some. of this. is going to be one of the big sins of pieces of. syria. everything really see. how. soon as we've finished people still to. watch a game of chalk which looks like a particularly dangerous blend of the cross. and then it was time for adults to drive.

so 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. burbs may be a long way from but it's worth the effort to get here this post of russia's far east has a rich history and a community that cares about this city and the future of its environment. 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 reported to the press that on that day that killed nine guerrillas in combat desiccation by instructs you including you know and there are 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. usaid continued to flow. the. mission free cretaceous free in-store charges free arrangement free is free. to free.
