you know with ours here at home now i recount now the story of the shakers the week that were the street drives that led to its head over two thousand directors turned into a backlash the police over how they handled the violence in the city but all this is the timing that rangar on the government to seeking help from a veteran american police chief. and us gets a downgrade of its top notch credit statements from a major ratings agency which also gave the country a negative economic output the moves that shall i use to the local markets which

i'm sure of that top this week. as self-possessed evolves three years this week since george's deadly military offensive to peaces attempts to retake control of the territory resulting in a five day war leave hundreds of innocent lives. coming up our special report on russia's far east of the soviet era mix for traditions that are centuries old. sharing of times and will strain the situation just a few kilometers from the chinese border of boston exactly a short for moscow cos if you don't mind a bit of jetlag you're going to enjoy one of the most charms of cities in russia's far east.

of forests because the region's ministry of samhsa homes more than half a million people and a place that really small schools and some a. tourist some locals come out in force to enjoy the city's wide and picturesque ways and down by the river saw it there are plenty of places to work on your town. and for the nation. very close to a botanical. now apparently this is one of only two places in the whole of russia where as flowers bloom 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 is going to be. and i was going to start my journey down on the river bank just over one hundred fifty years ago was built alongside the river it links russia with china and i just think. 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. of course. helping out. trains young sailors and we had a couple of the shipmates along for the ride so it's not just. a serious race. so hopefully we're going. it wasn't long before we were doing eleven. and as the guys fixed up the rigging i took the other. actually this is pretty easy and perfect weather beautiful calm water great day just messing around but this is the eleventh longest river in the world but we won't have to go too far just enough to enjoy the water and get some great views. but that's not the best way to get there this river i can't think of one that said . it was time to head back to dry land and for me to really start discovering

a bomber's. 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 . a 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 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 stay with guests who come from even further east to see what life used to be like here in the follies 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. this is

a way to learn about the cost benefit just the music displays just the right little dog say that's a problem laurie said rush. the kids to carry on the party and headed down to meet mccullough ruben 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. 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 in influence one of the most famous and rare animals in russia approaches one of the main reasons why they are more target here is so

terribly and dangerous but there is a place not too far from a bar which is doing its bit trying make sure the species. is about an hour's drive from the city and its refuge for injured. from the local region has. its role and opened by edward krugel of 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. it was looked after more than two hundred beds over the years and despite a lot of funds most of you will sense avoid being separated from their mothers these babies are only just a few months old they were rescued in the winter. because of the. very popular for hunters trophies for use in china as well so are close.

to the unfortunate ones who are left behind. as you can see for just five months old. but the zoos most famous resident is considerably bigger. one of the rarest cats left on the entire planet and i'm more. nearly twenty years old and still. coming to say. i'm so tempted to try and. please god i think. i 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 this point being positively ancient for a tiger there's still plenty of life in him. i am also eager 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 wondering around here to hear also some rather unwilling students of tiger school these two little there as well. very useful when you're learning how to hunt. fortunately for bugs. there are no one

else like is in residence of the moment so if the law continues to hold all they'll be running away from will be a few curious tourists. but there are vital parts of making sure we can take the forests of the region. back in the city had 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 and the old mind of 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 vintage automobiles. back out of. the direct anatoly nazir of his passionate 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 and trying to get it back on the road i think this one is almost. see. the magic touch. one of the most.

chemists work. post truck rides again. but trucks it used to be it was. restoring ninety four goals some of the success stories saw it. from vintage folders to ukrainian beatles most of these cause any see the likes of dale national holidays and special festivals but i was going to get a chance take a listen to the specials first. were any one of these things. come down turn because this is going to be the loudest steering. you mustn't have to hit the gym so 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 weren't quite so. this may be the best police cut ever invented. was one of the least careful for many people were small. a mix when. figured out the gearbox of this training. it was a lot easier to drive one would have been pushing that would have made the guys. you know so i envy. these russian police but. when you have the smallest. possible funniest car with which to catch criminals i'm not sure if it would be a good thing. because either they just sort of stop and pull it off and that you were trying to catch them in this poll they'd run to cross because they wouldn't

want to be seen. i just wondered if i didn't want to permanently a couple of circuits in my mini most beechwood have to suffice but that wasn't going to be my last on the bomb adventure. it's a. good . thing it was a tall order for. this street student can see clips of the times and reveal versions of the soviet files on t.v.

so. this is a table from the u.s. embassy in colombo but it talks about here it apparent june seventh incident of extrajudicial executions the military according to the press that on that they've killed nine guerrillas and found that the best suggestion by instructs the own couldn't you know and they're going to be strongly suggest however that the nine were executed by the army and then dressed in military fatigues. to. explain how you know this kind of phenomenon where bodies are dressed up as guerrillas and presented as killed in action and this and just the idea that you need to produce bodies actually encouraged paramilitary collaboration is the cia document central intelligence agency they knew about these activities they knew they were happening to move out links to paramilitary groups and yet. usaid continued to flow.

look.

ready. sometimes you just feel. you really. drive. and. he's already trying. to show me the ropes. oh but three big for the distance. james sent up a little bit but. it turns out there's an oxygen into a go carts but after a handy push ups. some young

students but this is a school that takes dedication and money mostly because of italian shell season japanese engines because several dollars they can. race is regularly more than two hundred kilometers an hour but 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. his 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. but the news is reclaimed pieces to repair and

refurbished 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 board. to fit together perfectly and make the front of. the planks have been playing down the old sounding board to be removed. from the second week. sorting through you. keep the blade up roads. but you'll see some you destroy it's all good looking and deems other instruments the results would be well worth. and also we've cut out the old bullets i went to work on one of his hand made sense pieces. unfortunately putting everything together can take up to a week of the team wanted to show me exactly what one of his creations had to offer .

you never thought that an old couple with no friends. i don't even to see one conservation sense and me 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 a cameo is a valuable delicacy and poaching and overfishing have seen their numbers decline to such an extent that only two adults specimens were documented some conclusion this area in two thousand and nine. is a situation of the legitimacy fishbone is trying to change let him in his work as a breeding young imo sturgeon include her in captivity and then returning them to the world for this is be cool to keep the food for the fish looks like. lovely stuff. combination all of insects alone.

will blow away in the and some tiny crustaceans are named 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 way up to a time. easy fishing 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 the past the perfect sowing is to give them a real shots of survival in the rhythm of the organ probably safely say that this may be the only time in my life i'm ever going to see a fish vacuum cleaner 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 means we've reached our quota it's time to drive to the woods. so i'm riding in

style here because we're just about to head off to the river and hopefully give the space new lease of life releasing hundreds of liters of water at once can be a bit tricky though and we had to do a little river side rescue work. so this is the so slow i have to think of it is fish very soon will be taking them out on to the boats. 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 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 the forest i was going to meet some people whose ancestors had lived this way for millennia. but. syria 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 there is some kind of festival . there around twelve thousand and nine living in russia and the largest of the indigenous tribes it's a widespread community but every year people come back for a summer party or music and. put it just a chorus of it. hopefully we will leave this bit just in case it doesn't rain. this and 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. top what's your name you know james i'm not. here. we're very friendly here which is nice. this kind of then gets everyone excited a little to hold back on the entertainment. today we're going to feed the spirit of. this spirit is the master of finance his name is pointing out i don't need it how true that. will have it so much perception where we're going to feed the spirit of water. today and there will also be a dragon of the dragons us that have been borat from the chinese but it's not true

there in ancient culture to. me this. is going to be one of the big sins of visits you know it's well see. syria can bring it up so it doesn't fall down everything really see how the nominee celebrate the culture. as soon as we finish people started to arrive. downs watch a game of chaka khan which looks like a particularly dangerous splendor volleyball in the crops. and then it was time for jolt city truckers. and. this is what the festival is really all about so it's for the next generation of money to get together and practice this edition of their ancestors have been carrying on for centuries it's

a village celebration and i knew all the 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 out close to russia's forest has a rich history and a community that cares about the city and the future of its environment. it can hit doctor smiles policeman's wives ministers why yes i just pray to god 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 organs at least four million

women are affected by abuse every year those are my only two options that i saw that moment either out of kill him or me in jail or he's got it killing. six. thanks christine 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 it's been eco terrorists 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

a single human being. in my mind it's not the parents real people who are green in this country are the housewives who recycle. and the children who play trees on the weekend with their cub scout troops that's the. sound. of. tough. morning news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing up for asians to rule today.

in india policies available in the move going.
