a chaotic tumble. with more free innocent thirteen minutes from now coming up it's a special report on russia's far east where echoes of the soviet era mixed with traditions that are centuries old. sharing of times and will strain the situation just a few kilometers from the chinese border. in exactly a short for moscow cost you just mind a bit of jetlag you're going to enjoy one of the most attractive cities in russia's far east. and the risk is the region's administrative sense of home to more than half a million people and a place that really sparkles and some a. tourist some locals come out in force to enjoy the city's wide bowl of

picturesque ways and down by the river song there are plenty of places to work on your town. for the nation. very close to. now apparently this is one of only two places in the whole of russia where as flowers 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 as well and i was going to start my journey down on the river bank just over one hundred fifty years ago was built along. a links russia with china and. it's a great way to see the city. constantine is a lifelong sailor and resident and he offered to take me out on his yacht. of course. on helping out. trains young sailors and we had

a couple of shipmates along for the riots. so. it wasn't long before we were doing it. and the guys fixed up the rigging. i see this is pretty easy perfect weather beautiful calm water great day just 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 news. 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 how bars . if you want to point 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 country's far east. one hundred nations thousand people step into this building every year and they get to enjoy a huge collection of exhibits from lloyd local river residents 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 stone 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. this is a way to learn about the cost of it just the music displays just the right color. that's a problem dorry said rush. the kids to carry on the party and headed down to meet

nicholai 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. 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 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 they are more target here is so terribly endangered but there is a place not too far from a bar of which is doing its bit trying make sure the species doesn't honor. the

kloof wildlife sanctuary is about an hour's drive from the city limits refuge for injured. from the local region has. the world. it's really owned by edward krugel off 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 and. everyone has looked after more than two hundred beds over the years and despite a lack of funds most of y'all since avoid being separated from their mothers the babies are only just a few months old they were rescued in the winter. because of the bigger better very popular for hunters trophies for peace in china as well so it's a very close. eye on the unfortunate ones who are left behind but

you can see for about five months old. but the zoo's most famous resident is considerably bigger. one of the rarest cats left on the entire planet. 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 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 way more than three hundred kilos but their numbers are under serious threats and it's estimated there are only around four hundred fifty and

left in russia's wilderness. morley 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 the haves and the forester and he would be the tigers natural prey and there are a few large dog it's wandering around here. so here are also some rather unwilling students of tiger school these two little there as well. use for when your. fortunately for bugs. is in residence at the moment so if the law continues to hold will the will be

running away from will be a few curious tourists. but there are vital parts of making sure we can take the force of the region. back in the city had been invited to see a different sort of conservation projects involving four wheels rather than four legs. seeing cars like this is enough to bring back a few bad memories of frustrated instructors and the old mine of fault because this is where people come to take their driving tests but a 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 on the rafters. zero is passionate about

it's got one of the largest collections of models in eastern russia and 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 for mates and military vehicles and one of those military models was waiting for us in the carriage 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. see. the magic touch. one of the most. for real russian classic. thinking down here. let's see if i can get this work.

the old post truck arrives again. but trucks are just the tip of the iceberg. and it's always restoring the most ninety classic russian and foreign coals some of the success story. from vintage folders to ukrainian beatles most of these cause any see the likes of dale national holidays with special festivals but i was going to get a chance to take a couple of soviet specials the first ten. were any one of these things you're going to be very strong come down turn because this is going to be the hardest theory. i've ever encountered. you must have had to hit the gym to keep it under control but only one of these people powerful vulgus 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 one point.

was maybe the best police car ever invented. careful formerly people were smart oh. don't mix one. thing about the gearbox of this training. it was a lot easier to drive one would've been pushing it would have made a. fifty's russian police but. we have the world's smallest. impossibly funniest car with which to catch criminals i'm not sure if it would be a good day i know because either they just sort of stop and pull out a lot of things that you were trying to catch and then miss all they'd run too fast because they wouldn't want to be seen that. i decided that if i didn't want to permanently back a couple of circuits in my mini most beechwood have to suffice but that wasn't going to be my last is an obama adventure.

so. it was the fourth quarter. of the year this street still keeps secrets of the ground it's time to reveal the hidden from the soviet files. this is a cable from the us embassy in colombo to talk 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 out investigations right in strokes on couldn't you know and therefore could it be 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 i mean this and this idea that you need to produce these actually encouraged paramilitary collaboration this is a cia document social intelligence agency they knew about these activities they knew they were happening to knew about links to paramilitary groups and yet. usaid continued to flow.

look. ready. to. join me. but sometimes you just feel a need for speed and there's a place in

a forest where you really can come. to drive carefully. twenty five years and the street. which takes part in competitions all over the russian far east he's already trained. including. show me the ropes. my buds to big for the distance. james sent up a little bit but took me. to 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 chefs seasoned japanese engines because several dollars they can.

race is regularly more than two hundred kilometers an hour it's a serious adrenaline rush. are you ok. i'll tell you what. it 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. great hobby. 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 an old like this. 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 sound. to fit together perfectly suited to make the. planks have been playing down the old sounding board to be removed as a proper technique. sorting through. the blade upgrades. q.c. to destroy itself but looking invent deems other instruments the results will be well worth. and also because of the old bulls i went some work on one of his hand made sense pieces. and fortunately putting everything together can take up some of the team wanted to show me exactly what one of his creations had to offer. never thought that an old couple with no friends.

i don't even see one conservation sends me a bar of soap but it's not just land mammals that are getting a helping hand here. from fifteen years ago there were hundreds of tonnes 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 i don't specimens were documented to have been cool in this area in two thousand and nine it's a situation that led to miss the fish mom is trying to change the team in his work as a breeding young animal sturgeon includer in captivity and then returning them to the walls so this is the war they keep the food for the fish looks like it's lovely stuff. combination of insects alone. would blow away in the and some tiny stations i made very delicious were young so that it. doesn't. 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 it. is easy pacing boy about two thousand of these baby sturgeon in here and you can see a pretty lively. now there anyway about thirty to forty grams of past the perfect sewing to give in the real shots of survival in the rhythm of me i can probably safely say that this may be the only time in my life i'm ever going to see a fish truck you believe that 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 definitely a means we've reached our quota it was time to drive us 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 and we had to do

a little riverside rescue work. so this is they so slow i have to think of these fish very soon will be taking about the boats. and i 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 most good shots 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 of this size 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 the forests i was going to meet some people whose ancestors had lived this way for

millennia. syria has been home to be indigenous now no i which in their language means people for thousands of years and by the sounds of it. i think they're prepared 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 and dance but it does take course a bit. hopefully we were actually need this but just in case it doesn't rain. and be able to keep everything nice and dry so the festival goes off without a hitch. everyone pitches into help from the more mature to the very.

well tom what's your name you know james i'm not here. so it's not. so very friendly here which is nice. this kind of then gets everyone excited and they don't hold back only instruments. the way. today we're going to feed the spirit to find. this spirit is the master of find his name is pointing out i don't need a hatchery than. i have a torch perception would know where we're going to feed the spirits of water. today and there will also be a dragon as the dragons estancia have been burridge from the chinese but it's not true there in ancient times culture to. this. is going to be one of the big sins bases of tonight's bossy.

serial can ring it up so it doesn't fall down and we can really see how the nominee celebrate the culture. as soon as we finish people still to arrive. watch a game of chalk upon which looks like a particularly dangerous splendor volleyball and across. and then it was time for adults to construct. a. handsome is what the festival is really all about so it's for the next generation oh no need to get together and practice this edition 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. the worst may be a long way from moscow but it's worth the effort to get here this outpost of russia

stories tells a rich history and a community that cares about the city and the future of its environment. if you can hear dr science policeman's wives ministers why yes i just prayed that if you couldn't find me if i could slip through the night that i would get my kids out of here because i knew that was going to happen was that he was going to kill me and 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 that i saw that moment eight out of the will kill him only in jail or he's got it killing. six.

takes fifteen to twenty million years for the planet to recover from a major extinction event but the planet has time we don't. it's been going on for about twenty twenty five years and since he's been eco terrorists 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 as terrorists someone he'll destroy his property. with absolutely zero intention of harming a single human being. in my mind it's not fair and real people who are green in this country are the housewives who recycle. and the children who play trees on the
