from the golden so to return then the princess in bangkok radisson hotel something called dream which will bring cold chill some time or a grander phone call him specifically told michael grimm friends who told blanco most of them even called. us now our six thirty on saturday night here in moscow you with all the headlines now i tell you situation develops in northern kosovo as nato shoot to kill orders to break a roadblock built by locals near a disputed checkpoint the border crossing was seized about two weeks ago by kosovo police aided by the alliance and since then several clashes have left. people in tripoli take to the streets they're angry at the former rebel still carrying guns all around the city. fully one of the few remaining strongholds of

the city of sirte. meantime facing a serious humanitarian crisis. and operation occupy wall street. and corporate influence grows in the u.s. as protests head into the third week and fury has now turned towards the police following a series of arrests and allegations of brutal behavior. ok others of the headlines are r.t. but now we take you on an exhilarating trip to russia's far east you get a chance to meet some of the rarest species of animals under fire. of the region you without. cullimore reach seven thousand kilometers from a group of researches has become an expedition true to nature as. there is one of the sea eagles enough close to a small river on the shore of the sea of a not very far from here low tide compels them to go to the sea look for food.

to stella's siegel is listed in russia's red book of endangered animals eagles of his toys only found in russia's four east each year just accompanied by reserve ranges inspect and this you know to do so the expedition would have to come hundreds of kilometers over the course of ten days. just you have you know would take l.c.s. for a volunteer from school they were accompanied by range of let me on the journey. this is where the two rivers meet their totally different children journey is a deep cold river with a strong current the water in the cabin is warm they even different color the challenger is greenish because of flood waters but the kava always stays.

still a sea eagles can afford to be free in the. of they don't have to worry about food there isn't a pond and some fish in the sea of all halts a nearby rivers is still a sea eagle is the largest bird in the area. their wings is almost seventy centimeters as an adult come way up to knowing kilograms i can feel a branch an eagle is behind it. the boat is going to a full corner of the result of the only fellow just expect to see chicks that they believe hatched in an eagle's nest a few days. the engine noise scares them. upon seeing the holes people away and swiftly disappears into the forest the group has no worries has really attacked people during the summer a telescope it rolled is the most important always home in the expeditions

inventory by attaching a video camera the only phone which is used see what's going on in the eagle's nest even though it only takes a few minutes to get to the nest when it actually comes to climbing the tree preparations take a lot longer stella's sequels missed the ground because you are you sure giving a delicate girl that much to carry is a good idea. but elsie ashford is the first woman to ever climb a tree in the market and ski resort in the past. always employed to help the men in the group. yes. elsie is a researcher at the royal society for the protection of bugs in scotland but nests have been her line of work for several years she is brutal when necessary equipment from scotland because she thinks using familiar equipment in an unfamiliar place is much safer. than the mining industry is no easy job and it will take

elsie at least forty minutes to get to the nest especially if she observes all of the safety rules and. elsie's progress is blocked she can't go any further this is where a video camera attached to a rolled comes in handy and i shared a key element of the monitoring procedure is inspecting last at the start of the season with us where we need to know how many chips have hatched and how many have survived the end of the season and then if they're mature enough to leave their nasty things that's the film is shot from different angles special care is taken not to scare away out of the bugs otherwise they might never return to the nest and the chicks we thought of starvation elsie takes a look at the footage before she's even got barrels from the tree. to small white chicks right and i find. nothing around in the sunshine finding the middle of each

other she thinks like me just like the other so it's too small for a healthy chick. decades ago they were good like prison camps and. inmates used to be sent to what is now the nature reserve to procure fish and game today people are. letting me have a go patrols the territory making his way along narrow trails left by as he always carries a gun with him a trespasser can be easily spotted from this elevation intruders crossing the reserves by injuries as a threat. branches lying close to the plough speak of a camp fire started by unwelcome guests or this is what is left of a branch that caught caught in a fire even though more than thirty years of past i still shudder when i think back

to that inferno. this with this way of getting to any part of the reserve in an emergency is by helicopter. when a fire flares up the helicopters will have to make dozens of trips a day but even that does little to help. the tiger may remain a blaze two weeks on. some toys for as compass such a large area the firemen from all over the make a region come to help. controlling fire is especially difficult in coniferous forests it takes many years to recover from such a place floods are just as dangerous as follows in fairly spring transporting fuel and basic necessities to preserve stuff is an extreme and often life threatening toss which is more than. on one occasion snowmobiles broke down and we had to

walk scores of kilometers such insolence would have made many others quit this job but something keeps us going i think it gives us adrenaline i'm happy it's part of my life. it's a challenge that keeps you in good shape. the following morning the weather changes abruptly it is clear from the full cost that the rain will keep coming down for almost a week people are full of just decided against inspecting other siegal nests but they want to waste time so they begin looking through the video they filmed the day before. i would like to take a closer look at what you filmed. i couldn't see it clearly in the sunlight. well i didn't expect to see that the chicks i saw were older and they behaved in a very different way. now this this is the first time i've seen chicks fighting

all the time they're behaving naturally as they should it's not like they saw you with your camera it was hidden after all. l.c.s. food began learning russian a few months before arriving in the market that region while in the reserve each day she notes the new words she hears from her russian colleagues at work it's important if you're working in many everything because you can't remember who needs a few words in practice so you can use them when you need quickly. the day later and time is running out the expedition now has to move to another sector of the result. didn't go through the second phase of the expedition is about to begin and will visit the coney peninsula on the on ski ireland for the maritime sector is will see eagle nests check the bears and tag sea lions for now this part of the trip is done.

three hundred kilometers from the previous campsite tugboat fashioned into an expedition vessel has entered the sea of cortes. through several killer whales near the ship they seem to be which the ship's captain of many happy returns for his sixty fifth birthday get the boat ready for a large plastic check point is on the horizon. the station on the coney peninsula is home to ranges of the maritime sector of the market and ski state nature reserve the environment is very harsh. accompanies the group of researches at this stage of the expedition with a service record of more than twenty years is one of the reserves for veterans surrogate began his career as a rank and file employee now he is in charge of the ranges in the reserves maritime

sector they are on duty for about a month at a time and the rangers are a self-sufficient community. apart from guarding the territory they keep records of the natural environment was the situation no money nothing to speak of little certainly no intruders apart from some little animals. and what about the stellar sea eagles a couple who come from there during low tide will see them. no toy doesn't come until several hours later at that time a mountain stream flowing into the sea if a halt can be crossed normally the title current is so strong that it is impossible to keep one's balance the water is always here all year round a falling in would be dangerous there are no signs of life in the eagles and this its owner is away hunting for food but soon it appears on the horizon. look evil.

the climate is what was completely different to the previous location even in the height of summer the weather poses a challenge it's a little bit cold. but it's not winter it's it's summer so it's sunny it's like. winter in scotland maybe. you feel. the rain just take two dogs on the daily twelve kilometer patrol the dogs begin talking as soon as they smell a bad they are just indispensable when rangers look for peaches punching bag is often the poachers have better equipment than the reserve personnel. through over two posters carry weapons their boats have powerful engines in the stairwell and on top of the lawyers provide legal protection or you're unlikely to

find any eyewitnesses here a ranger would have to work very hard before the offender could be brought to trial which it wouldn't records. as soon as the expedition ship leaves plus the station a family of humpback whales appears the captain steve is the vessel along the shore as the researchers take stock of the best inhabiting but instead i can see a female bear down there and a little cub is nearby. when the bears are sponsored their exact location will be mocked on the map while the research is conducted their work ship moves the slow speed. which would be evening the captain steps on the gas as they head for the mc arlen's it's crucial that the ship reach this destination while the weather is still good.

from our hero. we hear it because our country out. god promised them this linda long stuff. will if they are still going to be thinking. and going chosen people will not believe that god is real state he should say look at this that is this for you guys this guy is as. you know this is the one this is my family. my. god. love.

for days and paul says the stuff of the expedition yes the islands are still a long way away but the expedition has already run out of freshwater rain just say again look for a spot to land the boat see that there's the eagle. the sea is quite shallow off shore sergey raises the opal engine and covers the last few meters using oars once he is on shore he realizes the trespassers have visited the protected area only recently of course well this work canister tells me they left the place only

a short time ago. there came later but it's clear it's been a good deal of time here sharpening its claws i'm quite sure the guys wasted no time either. persian most likely. there are no people around but there are fresh tracks on the ground left by a pair soon the animal is spotted true binoculars but it pays no attention to the expedition a bit later the only full of just see another stella see go a short distance away meanwhile the ranger returns from his rounds of territory he says he has found no poachers. have some say the serial here in the north is very monotonous but in fact it is very beautiful this is where the dander in our springtime flower which is listed in russia's red book common danger plants and animals this one began to bloom just a few days ago. when the rising tide comes they will need to collect some two

hundred liters of fresh water this supply should last until the end of the trip many of the expedition participants have been suffering from dehydration this is the only chance to replenish the water supply for as long as the ship remains at sea. this water is absolutely fresh because it comes here from the snow fields the water is cold but it's pure completely clean and very good for drinking and it's moved to. the water is now on board and the ship spanker is raised the weather is ideal for making observations half an hour later you know. eagle's nest which is not on the map. will mark it is new the eagle seems to be alone the nest is very tiny. the weather rapidly deteriorates and the birds head to the rocks watching them

becomes impossible moreover the fog makes sailing in these conditions dangerous so the ship comes to a halt. ranges of gets into a motor boat to head for cape cod with a game are called an old friend of his is in charge of a large house. so gay lives there with his wife kate covers an area of just over one square kilometer. you want to own a pool. or. not hello there hello i haven't seen you in ages how are you. this is a rare sight here the nearest settlement is sixty kilometers from cape town yeah i made some pa is fresh from the isle then i'll make some tea if you wait a minute thank you idea and there's the mention he takes care of the household chores. is responsible for maintaining the lighthouse he has to be

a jack of all trades there is nobody to help if something goes wrong with instance you know we're proud to live here even if it means living so far away. we are like border guards. it's like living at the end of the world that's true there are rocks on one side and sea on the other there are no people around here you see nobody but beasts and even they are very tame. before dusk goes to the lighthouse there are more than two hundred time one steps in the spiral staircase. in the soviet union the lighthouse was a strategic naval installation and was guarded accordingly a sentry was on round the clock duty at the entrance. much has changed since then but the litel still requires daily maintenance specially designed lenses enable the

light to be seen from twelve multiple miles away even though the power of the lamps is five hundred watts. i was a child when my parents brought me here in one thousand nine hundred sixty two. when i took a fancy to this place when i grew up i brought my kids here they too have grown up here as such i might call my family a dentistry of sorts. towards evening to ship the parts for the ski. they want to follow just will meet with fellow scientists studying sea lions. we're now approaching mother q island the main destination of our trip the place is very beautiful and interesting here the sea is about one hundred meters deep ships are best to steer clear of this place during a storm or change inside there is no telling what tricks it may have in store for

you. the pacific's northernmost habitats of sea lions is on much kill island in the late ninety's and eighty's scientists raise the alarm after discovering a dramatic form in the number of these mammals. since then an international group of scientists has come to the mc arlen's each year. to begin with all the adults he learns to shoot away from the beach then they were called the pups so as to estimate the size of the population accurately the newborns of intact and given a number. the procedure makes it possible to track the animals movements in the sea of a halt over roughly twenty years which is the average large span of a sea lawyer. fortunately she wasn't just the obvious lady animals don't like being disturbed but then it's only ones a during their mating season which set a particular day aside when the harm done to the sea lion population is reduced to

a minimum since the procedure has been perfected down to the smallest detail start vets administer an anaesthetic to the seal and pups to ensure a painless operation. because the sea lions breathe in a special gas for about three minutes if falls asleep and wakes absent ten minutes later doesn't take long to recover from the anaesthetic. a few. i am going to take some blood samples if basically the blood tests all tell us something about the state of the new borns felf to see if they're how phina. that's all right dear they have a chance the job involves a good deal of physical labor and unfortunately the team is short handed this year . the expedition is grateful to the ashford for help as the talk is not easy a one week old sea lawyer weighs an average of twenty seven kilograms space

specialists it takes well i think it's. quite nice to me because. i think it's helped carry. so i could be useful to help scotland likely. as biologists label the seal and pups the adults are in the water the scientists need to make haste to finish the job as soon as they can this year the expedition has brought together researchers from japan russia and the united states they have to solve the language barrier as they can. really important for us to work us in an american colleagues and russian colleagues because store c. lines don't look at the border and say oh stuff it was america over there and russia over here they swim across the border quite frequently so we have to work in cooperation to better understand the nature that goes across the borders is doing whether they're doing well or not what we need to do to manage them. in early

spring sealants come to the beach with much kill island over the oyster males of the first two or roy they have to fight for a place on the beach. this ring sound means the sea lion has laid claim to the area . where the feel i have been working with such animals for more than twenty years but i'm still in they said their behavior sea lions on shore behavior very differently at sea. but given you should go up with me when they're on the beach they're agile like birds but at sea they get very inquisitive they approach tigers in sync with them for some sign that they try to touch him especially if they're wearing shiny objects by sea lions it's i think humans know that has never happened but the. the scientists have labeled two hundred c. laws. and pop's each of the animals now has difficulty recording their weight and individual characteristics. after

a day or two it will be as though humans were never here to sea lions will return to their daily routine lying around on the beach going to sea in search of food and they're seeing their pups. after the departure of their colleagues the following morning the owner of the maggot and state nature reserve was you watching in the daytime these colonies are to kill island. the even people shouting at the top of the voices and hardly be. fewer than four in the whole family and medical island even though it's thirty six square kilometers they are few and far between in the south because the wind is a strong cliffs it's the central part of the tracks most interest. there's a difference between nothing happened will look for example occupy narrow cliff. made their nest among rocks this means that there are no free plots of land and the

birds occupy the entire island. just would like to spend more toys and research you are learning this is a very cold place to get to a previous expedition into haiti. and. with no results this time was on the side of the scientists everybody works together and it's not it's not typical it's not like. historic sea voyage where you have no water no fruits and many health problems i see even more than i expected because i've been very lucky to be here at a time when there are many different interesting projects. the ship leaves methink you island. during low tide just before dusk in the mess room he asked for it learns how to cook traditional russian borscht. puts

a tells on the boil for ten minutes then add to interest to. the expedition members unknown the last night's ball with the ship it is obvious that everyone is tired but everyone is reflecting on the vivid impressions of the trip even those that have been here before the captain says jokingly that next time elsie ashford will combine both jobs as research and a cook meanwhile a captain's mate sets a course back to make it a. whale again appears on the horizon him just like during the voyage to the islands the expeditions of the maggot and ski nature reserve is nearing its end it has covered more than a thousand kilometers in ten days and collected a wealth of material for the study. the team's mission is complete.
