trying to. 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 in to cause a report on our tea. party night here moscow time to update you on our new stories this hour police sweep through the occupy los angeles camp arresting almost three hundred often ignored and eviction order on the empty corporate movement that started more than two months ago is only gaining momentum picking up support from the other side of the barricades. russian passports but will provide any aid necessary this comes after thousands follow the plea for citizenship to escape discrimination and hostility from ethnic albanians. and iran faces further isolation as e.u. foreign ministers agree a lot sanctions that follows

a mortar attack on the british embassy in tehran that prompted london to order all iranian envoys to leave within forty eight hours. so those are the headlines here a lot about with those stories in full in thirty minutes from now in the meantime we take you to the edge of the arctic circle in the film north of russia to experience the white nights of summer and the days of winter darkness on the peninsula that's in our special report next here. the goal of contention is a land of extreme weather long nights here in moscow the tundra stand side by side if they can possibly forests the first settlements of the of him within ten thousand years ago. disparate tribes and ethnic groups blended with a perfectly divine landscape which is in stark contrast to any other place in this

country. like in centuries possible today most of the uninsured are responsibly awful aged or no roads to hundreds of kilometers. most people get to the remote villages by helicopter i see michael. so. most of the common peninsula lies on low hills here you also find mountains and valleys covered with thick woodland and desolate tundra this small region of stark natural diversity attracts tourists from across the world the form bike is the most popular means of transport here for the tourists. the. roads are few and

far between around here and the court is the best bet when it comes to traveling over such terrain a bit of a quad bike will take you to places that no other car can reach. the color peninsula makes up the movements and lies within the arctic circle to the north it's washed by the barents sea while in the south it's met by the white state the region is known as the gateway to the arctic. this is the starting point of most sightseeing routes around the call of an inch a similar fate who goes in has been in the business of taking tourists to moments of nature reserves for many years. if from here we will set out from the main lines of the call a peninsula to this readily and about she commensal as they are the farthest temps in the northwest of our country norway lies beyond them. numerous military bases was stationed in the barents sea during the cold war after the collapse of the iron curtain these places became open for tourists today it's

possible to see the maneuvers of the nuclear submarines. and that's where this country's best kept secret is our nuclear undersea fleet is based there. but you can feast your eyes upon all kinds of submarine stepping regularly surface include of obey that are protected by patrol boats. on the other side of the ball open in the bars of the river empties into the bright city. the village of hours ago is situated on both sides of the asteroid fifteen kilometers from the sea tides raise the water in the record for height of up to ten meters and increase its salt content. but.

the high tide makes it impossible to bridge the river so a motor boat serves as the local taxi service. once a week orthodox priest father metafont takes a ferry to meet his flock and hold services in a church on the opposite bank. this is where the first russian settlements appeared on the cooler peninsula through the british girl regional settlers were coast well as. they made their homes on these banks and mingled with local karelians and indigenous laplanders. here we have a mixture of population and. fishing has always been the main source of income for local people salmon was caught in the river and the rest from the same. small boats manned by three or four fisherman were able to stand up to the heavy seas but in truth back then only half a fisherman survived beyond the age of forty two

a couple anyone going to see in the north must know before hand that they might never be coming back they might simply vanish into eternity a strong gust of wind might bring heavy snow with it with the result that they wouldn't be able to see a thing in other words they feel that facing the sea is like they sing god riches of this land used to be the breeding ground of numerous rivalries. and the seas fish is of course in great demand. early settlers built seaside hamburg's on the collar peninsula before they started making their homes in villages they lived here throughout the year waiting for the summer fishing season to start alexander coming off skiing and his son have reconstructed a fisherman settlement typical of the ones that existed in the late nineteenth century on the white sea coast. we have put it all upward used to

stand we have been trying to be as historically accurate as we can or as for what is left of the old nets we don't even touch them. today alexander takes visitors on a tour of his open and museum guests can stay at his place for several days alexander treats them to fish caught only a short while ago and tells them about the life of the coast well it's one hundred years ago an exact replica of a bomb features a collection of objects found here and in other settlements. they made with the help of specially treated pine or birch roots. but basically a boat is made of words joined together with birch ropes going through holes in the boards that's what the coast well there is needed birch for the birch bark is used to make backpacks shoes and baskets in kitchen where you can boil water in

a kettle made of birch bark. the easiest way is to put hot stones from a bonfire in it. a coast well as family had to struggle to survive in the rigors of the country's finals although they spend half their lives at sea they never learn to swim anyone who ended up in the water even in summer died of exposure within just ten minutes. let me share when i was in the white sea coast is a remarkable area for learning something interesting truly it's a magic place. here you can marvel at the infinite diversity of the natural environment. the humble nature of the north hides a captivating beauty which never fails to attract tourists. each year many people

return to go over the same groups once more. and in spite of the rigorous living conditions there are some who are even willing to move here. because everybody who travels with us knows how much i love this heart. timothy's dream is to purchase a house and a small plot around it with a high wind swept water side it's always cold here the timothy and his son leo need keep coming back. you know what it is a divine place because of the winds the cold weather and the ocean not to mention i knew island over there these lands are amazing. meanwhile sixty kilometers south of the arctic tundra was a totally different landscape but i didn't since there is or is it behind these tactical installations. we always have to unlock the gate before answering it

but. now we'll open it like this. there is proof that there is there is territories under lock and key and as you can see it is quite massive now we can go in this way please when the reserve was being created in one thousand nine hundred two most of the military installations built soon after world war two and become obsolete or fall into decay what was once a border guard tower was renovated and handed over to the reserve now all mythology it's news the former military installation for scientific purposes. it offers a fantastic view of the cons river and the entire reserve and the martians we've. reserved visitors and tourists are welcome to see all that and take pictures and most of the reserve territory is covered with marshes there ideal for bird

rookeries in spring and autumn when thousands of migrating birds stop over to rest as it turns out studying the composition of the bogs helps retrace the biological history of the region russian scientists take peat samples for tests. deposits are the best sources of information studying their layers makes it possible to estimate the rate of peat accumulation this is also important if we are to understand the dynamic development of the natural environment because these settlements are chronicle of nature. the unique feature of the reserve is that it covers the territory of three countries. the natural environment is uniform on both sides of the river russia is on the eastern bank norway and finland of the west russian and finnish scientists spend most of their time collecting biological material which is later studied in norwegian the poetry's monitoring or in

conservation from victorian proxy because in nature of course just. have contravened to understand nature and. not understand important issues for conservation it's of course very important to try to do started across cross conflict because they are irrelevant in a biological threat. practically speaking the scientists work in the same nature reserve but on different sides of a narrow river. and through border control just to see one another is that bears a freeze across the border whenever they like without having to undergo checks and even leave marks on the border posts.

i had to go shoot ten year old boy. to train him how to tell we as officers developed the orders for them so. we never explained to them why it's ok. most people at the point of looking down in time to pull the trigger became conscientious objectors. i don't remember squeezing the trigger and i am i don't remember seeing him go down but i remember is that we shot him. on. the other side are soldiers too and soldiers to assault and they're trying to kill us we're trying to kill them and i just hope i will face a war. that.

nothing honorable and. i went to the war zone and i started seeing now i need to change. it on a way to do there's an obstacle rivaling kill another person that's why i'm applying for concerts and. wealthy british style such. tight. tight. markets finally succumbed to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with much stronger no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to cause a report on our. it's

. moments it's the largest city within the arctic circle it's also the largest ice free port in the north. is situated around a day in the barents sea the sea itself is sometimes covered with ice during severe winters but the bay always stays ice free. the world's first nuclear

powered icebreaker was called lenin and was launched from advanced in the one nine hundred fifty seven today it's a floating museum by appear at the city's perth with the help of the icebreaker fleas it was possible to explore the russian arctic only around the time spent sailing was limited only by the amount of food aboard. during winter the crew would stay on the ship for several months the onboard clinic regularly perform surgeries the unique for that time. no expense was spared on the fine timber interior of the first nuclear icebreaker. hours can be spent wandering around the boat looking inside the cabins of the crew who maintains the nuclear reactors the open bridge overlooks the course and the beautiful day of movement for. the deputy. or in ancient times all the local nobility used to come here and they are people first sample their moments fountains of years ago this odd looking manmade structure the

ways many tons is at least ten thousand years old it's known as a megalith faced with stones along the perimeter it's reminiscent of britain's stonehenge once ideal for what. they would sit on this stone in front of the structure that was supposed to attract spirits and gods as eyewitnesses here they swore an oath with this initiation ceremony complete and they were now fully entitled to rule with such leaders were not respected at all if they never came here. in one month there are a total of fifty four megaliths when viewed from above they form a regular parabola around the bay ancient people afford to have had a purpose and arranging the structures this way is to leave the local tribes full of these stones have the power to protect them from the sea. we are in the northern sector of the stone parabola the stones that were supposed to protect more months

the people who gets those words didn't know what they were doing they raised their hand against one of the few sacred things that still remain in this land this means that the silent guardians all mormons can no longer defend themselves. thousands of years from now just might well regard the inscriptions as priceless treasures for now though they've yet to decipher the meaning of these mysterious lines discovered in the wilderness one hundred kilometers to the north of more months. graffiti in caves and shelters that may have been used by ancient people is another point on the tourist itinerary mapped out by time a favorite. scientists call such drawings petroglyphs but what they mean is still a mystery you hope you can hear but petroglyphs found here so far are about five thousand years old on average these ones were discovered by a navy man in one nine hundred forty three he then told scientists about them the

scientists then officially recorded them right after world war two the marines. took the famous plane and raced on the called a peninsula he knows this area too well at the beginning of b. as you found him a famous moscow today every year as a tour guide he brings visitors to his home. he will coast weller's have villages here. when you visit them you're surprised by the fact that even in such a remote gold for second place these people still don't want to leave you know a professor living there you. know was the first russian settlement on the continent shalit is first mentioned in records dating from the early fifteenth century the church of the assumption dating back to the seventeenth century is the oldest structures of i've been to this day it was built without a single male over fasteners are made of wood only axes we used to fashion the logs

even the ends of the logs were chopped off rather than someone off the constitution this method affects the structure of the word would be anything that might damage it such as morris chair or the like is not allowed to seep into it. the church fell into decay in soviet times and its head father mitra fund has made every effort to have it renovated services will eventually resume here until then worshipers use a nearby church that was built a hundred years later. the way most all of my immediate family has served in the navy my great grandfather and my brother my father was a submarine and i served in the navy for twenty six years as a commanding officer i've been a monk where eleven years. twenty kilometers down the wasicka river mines a local anomaly it's the arctic desert. larry has

a culver's devoted his life to combat in the invading desert according to his theory the land was originally at the bottom of a seed thousands of years ago the sea receded and grass and trees grew on the former seabed. but now through a thin layer of soil the sand is returning it scattered around by the wind forming on village homes and the river and destroying the pine forest and other vegetation . if you would have ways pines were ruined by the shifting sand there are new but some trees managed to escape the onslaught they are in very good condition now they're cutting in for the three. or fourth of february in the theory. one of the most common theories claims the appearance of the cause a man desert and farming numerous herds of animals ate the grass away and churned up the ground with their hooves all that made the soil so thin that it allowed the

sand to filter through what they did this is one of the unique trees still standing here. in the upper part of the roots shows the sea and level that was here when the forest was still around it was this high. the wind has since shifted a sand layer of about one and a half meters high towards the river. from. there he has a call for spent years developing technology to monitor the advance of the cause a man desert his work has now yielded positive results the sand advance towards the forest is now in check eighty hectares of soil have been recalls abated the most pressing task now is saving the river and the village only four streets of houses remain on the riverbank or although there were six hundred years ago. this is like you know all the main task is coming up with a way to grow our forests shelter built. the way to prevent sand from choking up

the river. we have spent five years developing various technologies and introduced one of the best methods in the sector. it involves growing pines together with her bases vegetation and. in spite of the scientists achievements villagers continue to abandon their homes because they're gradually becoming covered with sand for tourists it's ruining the landscape for the locals it's a disaster. another strange phenomenon here is the wild horses which are not frightened of humans trailblazers originally brought common russian horses along with stocky want from your committee or over the years the two bred together resulting in these grey handsome animals with a distinctive strike running down their spines. this new breed posts the impressive build of their russian ancestors and the ability to find food under snow thanks to

their you could heritage. pollution wild horses are another thing that people of heard about it but have never seen them as for the parents see there's a lot of magic in it. the banshee peninsular is tim a photo goes ins favorite tourist destination this time he's accompanied by his fourteen year old son. clearing obstacles is all part of the talk a touch of activity in an otherwise meditative journey. it's rare that you find a car out here the terrain around is so rugged even a four by four can't get to some places on the upside this means that the peninsula has so far been spared the rush of people attracted by rich fishing areas and the

splendors of the landscape. the nikkei of light and a small cliff three kilometers off shore covered with grass and moss across commemorating fourteen sailors stands here several years ago similar fate and is some land it found a slap on the side of when they cleaned off the moss they saw or it was covered with inscriptions. on the messages were made by sailors waiting for storms and. they were to write about how long they waited how many times they returned here and when some of inscriptions give details of why they came here. inscriptions written in dozens of languages were left by russians danes swedes and many others hundreds of years separate one inscription from another. the call of peninsula has always attracted attention but sedate its fierce weather
