in bringing you the top news and commentary from downtown moscow this is a party glad to have you with us. the nato peacekeepers are ready to enforce a shoot to kill orders in the northern kosovo in the potentially explosive a standoff with ethnic serbs over disputed border posts two crossings at that link of young klaver with serbia were seized by pristina two weeks ago sparking a troubling. protests broke out in tripoli as the president's anger boils over on the behavior of unarmed and i could up the troops roaming the streets of account

but all this comes as a serious one of the last khadafi strongholds is reportedly surrounded by the former rebel forces deepening the humanitarian crisis in the stricken city. and in the u.s. demonstrations on a wall street against corporate political influence and spill out onto the brooklyn bridge shutting down traffic in one direction around four hundred people have reportedly been detained amid allegations of officers used excessive force when making arrests. that brings you up to date for now i'll be back with an update at the top of the hour but first archie takes you on an exhilarating trip to russia's far east to meet some of the rarest animal species and admired the regions which in theory. colima reach seven thousand kilometers from moscow a group of researchers has begun an expedition true to the nature of its. various wanted to see eagles enough close to a small river on the shore of the sea of

a fourth here not very far from here low tide compels them to go to the sea to look for food. the stella sea is listed in russia's red and endangered animals eagles of this toy only found in russians for east each year just a company for reserve ranges in space and this in order to do so the expedition would have to come hundreds of kilometers over the course of ten days. only thought was just if you know we've taken is joined by elsie ashford a volunteer from scotland they were accompanied by range of let me out on the journey. this is where the two rivers meet they're totally different the children journey is a deep culture with a strong current the water in the cabin is warm they even different color the challenger is greenish because

a flood waters of the kava always stays brown and. still the sea eagles can afford to be free in the market on ski reserve they don't have to worry about food there is no funds to fish in the sea of a halt a nearby rivers is still a sea eagle is the largest bird in the area. their wings is almost seventy centimeters as an adult can weigh up to knowing kilograms i can feel a branch an eagle is behind it. the boat is going to a far corner of risk they're the only fellows just expect to see chicks that they believe hatched an eagle's nest a few days ago. the engine noise scares them. upon seeing the new arrivals he backs away and swiftly disappears into the forest the group has no worries has really attacked people during the summer. a telescopic ruled 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 but it actually comes to climbing the tree preparations take a lot longer stella's see eagle's nest oh about the ground. are you sure giving a delicate girl that much to carry is a good idea. elsie ashwood is the first woman to ever climb a tree in the market and ski resort in the past taken always employ the help of the men in the group. yes. l c is a research a the royal society for the protection of bugs in scotland but nests have been her line of work the several years she has brought all the necessary equipment from scotland because she thinks using familiar equipment in an unfamiliar place is much

safer. when the winding this tree 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 cannot go any further this is where a video camera attached to a road comes in handy for the shared a key element of the monitoring procedure is inspecting last at the start of the season with us because 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 nest that's the film is shot from different angles special care is taken not to scare away out of 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 a slew of chips

a small white chicks are in lifelike. and thing around in the sunshine fighting a battle of each other she bakes like this just like together next so it's too small of a very healthy chick. decades ago they were good like prison camps and. inmates used to be sent to what is now the mecca times good nature is to procure fish and game today people are. plenty of a gauche patrol the territory making his way along narrow trails left by as he always carries a gun with him a trespasser can 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 welcome guests or this is what is left of a branch that got 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 for weeks on end. sometimes far as cover such a large area the firemen from all over the market and region come to help. controlling fire is especially difficult intended for us forests it takes many years to recover from such a blaze floods are just as dangerous as. into early spring transporting fuel and basic necessities to preserve stuff is an extreme and often life threatening toss which is what. 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 four cos that the rain will keep coming down for almost a week all a fellow just decided against inspecting other siegal nests. they want to waste their 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 behave 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 on region well 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 that you don't learn too many everything because you can't remember. a few of the parts of 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 when we'll visit the korean peninsula on the on ski i learned where the maritime sector is we will see eagle nests check the bears and taxi lines for now this part of the trip is done.

our world. three hundred kilometers from the previous campsite and talk boat fashion into an expedition vessel has entered seal holds. through several killer whales near the ship they seem to be kind of wish the ship's captain 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 sergei schmidt soft 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 veterans surrogate began his career as

a rank and file employee now he is in charge of the ranges guarding the reserves maritime sector they are on duty for about a month for the time 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 said you know intruders apart from some little animals. and what about the stellar siegel's a couple who come from their touring load times you'll see them. no toy doesn't come until several hours later at that time a mountain stream flowing into the sea of all hopes can be crossed normally the title current is so strong that it is impossible to keep one's balance the water is all year round and falling in would be dangerous there are no signs of life in the eagle's nest its owner is away homes and food but soon it appears on the horizon.

look evil. the climate here is 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 this summer so for me it is like. winter in scotland would. you feel. the rain just take two dogs on a daily twelve kilometer patrol the dogs begin talking as soon as they smell a bag they are just as indispensable when rangers look for peaches something bad is often the poachers have better equipment than the reserve snail. overrules a month or two poachers carry weapons their boats have powerful engines and most of

them and on top of that 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 be. as soon as the expedition ship leaves plus the station a family of humpback whales appears the captains the is the vessel along the shore as the researches take stock of the best inhabiting the county and in civil war i can see a female mayor down there and a little compass nearby. when the bears are sported their exact location will be mocked on the map while the researches conduct their work the ship moves the slow speed. but with the evening the captain steps on the gas as they head for the m.c.r. islands it's crucial that the ship reached its destination while the weather is still good.

wealthy british style. market dynamics can. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's culture the no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into khan's report on our keep. bringing you the latest in science and technology from around the world. we've got the future coverage. for days of pulses the stars of the expedition the still a long way away but the expedition has already run out of fresh water rain just

sagacious off looks for a spot to land the boat and see that there's the eagle the sea is quite shallow off shore so i gave raises the output engine and covers the last few meters using or was once he's on shore he realizes that trespass is a visit to the protected area only recently. well this one account of the tells me they left the place only a short time ago because the bear came later with you 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. ocean most likely. there are no people around but there are fresh tracks on the ground left by a bad suing the animal is spotted through binoculars but it pays no attention to the expedition. a bit later the only full a just see another stella segal a short distance away meanwhile the ranger returns from his rounds of the territory

he says he has found no poachers. for some say the series 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 and endangered plants and animals and this one began to bloom just a few days ago. when the rising tide comes they will each plate 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 a lot or it's cold but it's pure completely clean and very good for drinking and it's smooth till. the water is now

on board and the ship's anchor is raised the weather is ideal for making observations half an hour later the reno take finds an eagle's nest which is not on the map he will market his new eagle seems to be alone and yes it 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. range. of gets into a motorboat to have a cape. a mark off 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. and you want to. ask people. not to follow their fellow i haven't seen you in ages how

are you. visitors are a rare sight here and nearest settlement is sixty kilometers from cape terror yeah i made some pies fresh from the oven make some tea if you wait a minute thank you my dear now there's the misty 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. 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 see 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 you see at the entrance. much has changed since then but the lighthouse still requires daily maintenance specially designed lenses enable the light to be seen from twelve 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 that's 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 again a city of sorts. towards evening the ship departs for the mc arlen's. if you want to follow just will meet with fellow scientists studying

sea lions. know what we're now approaching not a real 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 see 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 all much kill island in the late one nine hundred 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 record 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 cortes over roughly twenty years which is the average large span of a sea lawyer. the same with obviously the animals don't like being disturbed but then it's only one day during their mating season to 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 times the smallest detail starts vets administer an anaesthetic to the seal and pups to ensure a painless operation. to put on the sea lions breathe in a special gas for about three minutes he falls asleep and wake steps in ten minutes later doesn't take long to recover from the anaesthetic. few. jeff we can but i am going to take some blood samples if basically some blood test

will tell us something about the state of new borns felf to see if they're healthy enough that's all right dear they have a on the job involves a good deal of physical labor and unfortunately the team is short handed this year . the expedition is grateful to the ash with the help of the tolls is not easy a one week old sea lawyer weighs the average of twenty seven kilograms space specialists it takes well i think. that it's quite nice to me because. i think it's healthy just carrying. so i could be useful and helps get away likely. as biologists labeled the sea lion pups the adults in the water the scientists need to make haste to finish the job as soon as they can have this year the expedition has brought together researches 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 in russian colleagues first store see 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 see loans come to the beach almost to kill island over the oyster males of the first two or roy they have to fight for a place on the beach. this ring silence means the sea lion has laid claim to the area that i'm with what it would be if 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 behave very differently at sea. i've got a notion to what we think when they're on the beach they're agile like birds but at

sea they get very inquisitive they approach tigers in stick with them for sometime they try to touch them especially if they're wearing shiny objects by sea lions attacking humans not know that has never happened before the. the scientists have labeled two hundred c. laws. and pops each of the animals now has to feel good recording their weight and individual characteristics he was. 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 market a state nature reserve resume. in the daytime these colonies of to kill island. but even people shouting at the top of the voices can hardly be fewer than four and

a half million medical island even though it's only six square kilometers they are few and far between the south because the wind is a stroll along the cliffs it's the central part of the truck's most interest. there's a difference between asking how it will look for example occupy narrow cliff cornices buzzards make their nests 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 but. it is a very cold place to get a previous expedition into haiti. with no results this time but was on the side of the scientists everybody works together. and it's not it's not difficult 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 needs methink you island. during low tide just before dusk in the mess room as he asked for it learns how to cook traditional russian borscht. puts potatoes on the boil for ten minutes then add ten just to. the expedition members alone the last night before the ship it is obvious that everyone is toilet 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 researcher and a cook meanwhile a captain's mate sets of course back to make it a humpback whale again appears on the horizon just like during the voyage to the

empty islands the expedition to the megatons nature reserve is nearing its end it has covered more than a i wasn't kilometers in ten days and collected a wealth of material for further study. the team's mission is complete.
