standard and poor's rating agency facing a vengeful washington inquiry even as world markets continue to shift following the unprecedented u.s. that downgrade. is up to date for the moment one of the should be here and that's in thirty minutes as the news continues in the meantime it's our special report on russia's far east where echoes of the soviet era mix with traditions of the centuries old that's a special report next. sharing of times and will strain the situation just a few kilometers from the chinese border of boston exactly a short shot from moscow plus if you just mind a bit of jetlag you're going to enjoy one of the most attractive cities in russia's far east.

of the risk is the region's administrative center 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 wares and down by the river science there are plenty of places to work on your tan. and for the nature. very close to. 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. 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 was built. it links russia with china and. it's a great way to see the city. constantine is

a lifelong sailor resident and he'd offered to take me out on his yacht. of course . helping out. trains young sailors and we had a couple of the shipmates for the riots. so i hope we will go. it wasn't long before we were doing it. and as the guys fixed up the rigging i took the russian. actually this is pretty easy perfect weather beautiful calm water great day just 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. 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 the

bombers. if you want to find out about history there's one place that you have to visit this is the museum of regional lore and it's the biggest and the most visited museum in the whole of the countries far east . a hundred nations thousand people step into this building every year and they get to enjoy a huge collection of exhibits from live local river residents to match 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 like 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. it's time to really get into the swing of things. this is

a way to learn about the cost of the dusty museum displays just the right color build up that's a problem laurie said rush. the kids to carry on the party and head down to meet mr lowe 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 tropics. 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 liana's 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 poaches one of the main reasons why we are more 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 our. tree is about an hour's drive from the city limits refuge to injured. from the local region. it's rolling over and by edward crew who's been taking in lost souls for the best part of twenty years if you 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. it was looked after more than two hundred beds over the years and despite a lack of funds most of us in savoy being separated from their mothers the babies are only just a few months old they were rescued for here because a bigger better very popular for hunters trophies for use in china as well so it's

very close. and these are the unfortunate ones who are left behind. as you can see for just five months old. but the zoo's most famous resident is considerably bigger. as one of the rarest cats left on the entire. twenty years old and still. coming to say. hello here. i'm so tempted to try and. please god i think. i was born here as a baby in the early nineties and he's been here ever since he's the sanctuaries only permanent residence and this point being positively ancient for

a tiger is still plenty of life in him. the animal tiger is the biggest cats on the planet and complain 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 mall is doing its best to improve the chances he's raised and released almost a dozen young cubs but before he does they need special training. this. 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 hares and forests around here would be the tigers natural prey and there are a few large dog it's wandering around. here also some rather i'm willing students of tiger school he's too little there as well. very useful when you're. fortunately for bugs.

like is in residence of the moment so if the law continues to hold the running away from the a few curious words. but there are vital parts of making sure we continue the force of the speech. back in the city has been invited to see a different sort of conservation projects involving four wheels rather than four bags. 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 vintage automobiles

. back out. but it's not just the direct anatoly nazir of his passion is about he's got one of the largest collections of models in eastern russia i think 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. this old truck delivered letters during the second world war and the mechanics have been trying to get it back on the road and i think this one is almost. see runs got the magic touch. one of the most. a real russian classic.

came down here. and it let's see if i can get this work. the old post truck arrives again. but shucks it just to be honest but. it's always restoring the most ninety classic russian and foreign clones some of his success stories saw it. from vintage vulgus to ukrainian beetles most of these cause only see the launch of day on national holidays with special festivals so i was going to get a chance to take a couple of these specials up first. for any one of these things with very calm down turn because this is going to be the one. you must have had to hit the gym to keep it under control but only one of these big

powerful vulgus was just a dream for most of us this is back in the one nine hundred sixty s. . but it seems that all communist culp's one point. is maybe the best police car ever invented. careful formerly people were smart. the next one ok. but something about the gearbox of this trying. it was a lot easier to drive one would have been pushing it would have made the bad guys. you know so i wouldn't be fifties russian police but. you have the smallest. impossibly funniest car with which to cast criminals i'm not sure if it would be a good day i know because i did a disservice stop and pull out a lot in that you were trying to catch them in this whole they'd run to cross

because they didn't want to be seen. but decided that if i didn't want to permanently a couple of circuits in my mini most beach would have to suffice but that wasn't going to be my last job on the bench. if. you want to talk to. this street still keeps secrets of the ground it's time to reveal the issues in the soviet files.

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 order to express it and that data showed nine your religion comes out the best suggestion by instructs your own couldn't you know and the book would have to be strongly suggests that we are at 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 i mean this and this is 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 knew they were happening they knew about links to paramilitary groups and yet it's us aid continued to flow.

look.

sometimes you just feel a need for speed and there's a place. to drive. the stream. which takes. he's already trying. to show me the ropes. we're buds too big for the distant barassi james sent up a little bit but. this is a visit not to getting into a go carts but after a handy push tools or a. couple has some young students but this is

a school that takes dedication and money mostly because of italian chef season japanese engines because simple dollars taken. place is regularly more than two hundred kilometers an hour it's a serious adrenaline rush. are you ok. i'll tell you what is also important but is a little bit difficult when you're eating the schumacher is 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 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 all when it's alive. but he muses reclaims pieces to repair

and refurbish musical instruments and we were going to give an old guitar a new lease of life. my siberian stone pine window sill was going to become a brand new sounding. to fit together perfectly and make the front of the guitar. almost the planks have been playing down the old sounding board has to be removed. from its compact. sorting through your kid so. it's. a bit kewl see you destroy it's all but looking about dean's other instruments the results would be well worth it and also because of the old boards i went to work on one of his hand made sense pieces. and fortunately putting everything together can take up two weeks of the team wanted to show me exactly one of his creations had so often.

you never thought that an old couple window frames it sounds like. i don't even to see one conservation center near a bar of sky 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 a cameo is a valuable delicacy and poaching and overfishing have seen the 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 mom is trying to change the team in his work as a breeding young imo sturgeon include her in captivity and then returning them to the walls so this is be the food for the fish loose like particularly lovely stuff. combination of insects alone would be.

as they were flowing in the and some tiny crustaceans i mean very delicious we understood. 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 and weigh up to a tough. easy facing boy about two thousand of these baby sturgeon in here and you can see the pretty lively. now there anywhere about thirty to forty grams the first the perfect signs to give in the real shorts 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 face vacuum cleaner this is what is transporting our kaluga and our sturgeon into the fact that we can then release it into the river later. it's like a quick journey at least a months we'd reached our quota it was time to drive to the water. so i'm riding in

style here as we're just about to head off to the river and hopefully give the space and new lease of life releasing hundreds of liters of water at once can be a bit trickier and we have to do a little with a solid rescue work. so this is the source lloyd to think of it is this very soon we'll be taking him out on to the boats. and hopefully will find the right spot in the river so they can be given to. 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 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. he 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 school i was going to meet some people whose ancestors had lived this way for millennia. syria has been home to the indigenous non-o. i know it's in their language means people for thousands of years and by the sounds of it. i think there is some kind of a store. there around twelve thousand living in russia and they're the largest of the indigenous tribes it's widespread community but every year people come back for a summer party of music and dance but it does take quite a bit of organizing. how we will actually need this one just in case it doesn't rain. they said be able to keep everything

nice and dry so this goes off without a hitch. everyone pitches in to help from the more mature to the very. top what's your name you know james i'm not. here so it's not. over friendly here which is nice. this kind of gets everyone excited and they don't hold back on the entertainment. they went on about today we're going to feel the spirit of. this spirit is the master of find his name is put down by the media how true that. will have it so much perception where we're going to feed the spirit of water. today there will also be dragons. dragons as that have been borrowed from the chinese but it's not

true there in ancient culture too. right so this. is going to be one of the big sins pieces of tonight's bossy. serial can read out so it doesn't fall down everything really see how the nominee celebrate the culture. as soon as we finish people starts to arrive. to watch a game of chalk which looks like a particularly dangerous splendor volleyball in the cross. and then it was sort of adult thing drugs. and. 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 of their ancestors have been carrying on for centuries it's

a village celebration and i knew that everyone in the community to get together and really celebrate their culture. the burbs may be a long way from us but it's worth the effort to get here is i don't close to russia scoring east has a rich history and a community that cares about their city and the future of its environment. it can hit dr swines policeman's wives ministers wives and i just prayed that if you 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 piece physical abuse and sexual abuse at least four million

women are affected by abuse every year those are my only two options that i thought that either i'm going to kill him or me in jail or he's going to kill it. takes fifteen to twenty million years for the planet to recover from a major extinction event for the planet as time we don't. see spinning 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 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 are accused of property sabotage and label them as terrorists someone he'll destroy property. with absolutely zero intention of harming

a single human being. in my mind it's not fair and real people who work green in this country are the housewives who recycle. and the children who play trees on the weekend with her cub scout troops that's the. sign. of. wealthy british soil sign. market finance from the. find out what's really happening to the global economy which might stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to congress report
