sora nuclear danger from iran and so what is the cause what's the cause of the crisis of the artificial crisis the real goal is the united states government has embarked on a course of extreme economic aggression against iran with the hope that by creating economic suffering economic isolation economic misery that part of the population will rise up or become disenfranchised with the government so that the u.s. can do as it has in history carry out regime change. relations with the u.k. have been further strained this week governor london's decision to take iranian the english language news channel press t.v. british air iran called the move a clear example of censorship british officials say the channel broke broadcasting rules of editorial control and failed to pay a fine imposed last year but believes it's being silenced for dissenting views still recent u.k. based author and media analyst believes the channel is another victim of an ongoing

campaign against iran thanks so much for being with that if this had been separated from geopolitics with this would not have happened some other kind of sanction would have been would have been made and the deal would have been struck so i think the press t.v. has been viewed through geopolitical terms so that is the breakdown of relations between britain and iran at the end of the day i think that most of the criticisms of press t.v. has been due to its coverage because you know it sees the middle east very differently for example than the mainstream media in britain this repeatedly comes up probably is really groups repeatedly complain about it we know very well that the british government at the very highest level was discussing with the american ambassador here how to limit press t.v.'s output in britain so now what we've got is we've got a real limiting of dialogue in the me in the british media and i think that's a tragedy and certainly a tragedy at a time when british relations are at their lowest ebb for

spies had been called red handed by russia but it took six years of from when the kremlin first made the allegations bennett explains how moscow left no stone unturned. it's not exactly the most glamorous of james bond gadgets but he didn't in this fake stone was a high tech transmitted british spooks used to spy on russia the allegations from moscow have always been dismissed but six years on there is rock solid evidence the u.k. can no longer deny tony blair's former chief of staff come clean admitting british spies were caught red handed the spy rock was embarrassing they had us bang to rights clearly they had known about it for some time and had been saving it up for a political purpose. the embarrassing revelations confirmed the findings of a russian television report in two thousand and six it showed this video of a man slowing down and looking at the rock as he passed apparently an agent beaming

top secret intelligence from a mobile computer to a digital drop point concealed in the stone another man was filmed picking up the rock and collecting the data. the moment of was the one behind the exposé and left no stone unturned but. at first i had to be dealt i thought it might be a fake story or a political game but we cross checked everything with multiple sources and it turned out to be true and some footage we didn't include in the film was particularly convincing for example there was a video of a british spy unit in front of the camera that camera was hidden under a tree in the songs lying nearby the guy wanted to look natural so we pretended that he needed to take a leak n.e.p. right in front of the camera before picking up a stone and leaving. but it was his word against theirs britain fiercely denied the allegations with tony blair laughing them off as russian propaganda the truth was

buried inside the u.k. secret service headquarters supposedly never to be seen again so after six years of dodging the bullet why admit it now they're very embarrassing but i think that the british government has decided. to have bygones are bygones and say ok we made a mistake. up and we want better relations from now on so i would see this as a first step on the road to improve relations with russia this is the home of britain's spooks m i six the government is a broad their job may not be secret but how they do it is or at least should be so the embarrassment of these revelations is not so much the spying itself but the fact they were caught doing it a post code. world war agreement supposedly forbids britain and russia from spying on each other no doubt they'll be more careful from now on either bennett r.t.

a more spiritual world as we follow the drumbeat on our special report is next. the sun sets early in siberia a dusk by year in chino one of the most celebrated and experienced shamans east of lake by count begins his shamanic rituals today's ritual is designed to invoke the spirits healing abilities and thank them for their powers at one point during the ritual a spirit penetrating by his body is expected to help the shaman deal with people's issues as well as heal them when a shaman becomes aware of the onset of the state of trance he puts on a cap that covers his eyes the cap protects the shaman from evil spirits and safeguards the onlookers according to popular belief ordinary people are not supposed to see the shamans eyes at such moments because this might cause them harm then the shamans crown comes into play this headgear is fashioned out of iron and

has horns on top chum and say that as soon as the invoked spirit makes its appearance in the form of a cloud the horns help guide the spirit into the shamans body. as a drumbeat quickens the nervous tension of the people gathered in the year quickly begins to peak then the drum abruptly falls silent the shaman fulls to the floor and begin spinning on it this means the spirit has entered his body video camera switched off filming a shaman in this state poses a threat to him and his audience. work at the russian academy of sciences is drawing to a close up valentino had a ton of a head of the unit for the study of sherman ism is inspecting the new exhibit displayed at the institute's ethnographic museum they have been supplied by

scientists returning from this year's field expeditions valentino has spent years studying humans extrasensory and extra sensitive potential. cost of an hour although the way it. rituals different dependent on the ethnicity of the shell means or do here each ethnic group has its own interpretation of the spirit. or in this particular case the spirit penetrates the shuns body in a somewhat unusual way that what political radio until appearance on the show man's mind undergoes a change which is the result of deep immersion you quit the moment scenarios he saw as it were and sublimate his energizing powers the market of the soul leaves the body at some point to make room for the spirit in the bottle but then what it is as though the spirit occupies the body while he's solely at the video from other.

shermans are a rare or unusual sight until a major industrial city in the urals even so sharman by the name of should get income has managed to balance sharman as a life in the big city here's the latest representative of the planet sharman spawning seven generations for centuries siberians have become shamans when called upon by the spirits apart from his spiritual activities children come practices music in the morning he goes to his small studio in central chile where not performing his duties sharman at the entrance to the small backyard there is an over a century for the spirits who are regarded as the local masters to again praise to them and offers them gifts chairman's highly valued support. to me is a friend of she again he's a soloist at the local opera house it took the two men a great deal of effort and time before they found a unique musical knowledge since then they have been creating

a new trend in clubhouse music folk instruments in combination with throat singing against an electronic background the musicians feel it is now too late to develop a taste for folklore. and young people consequently they're trying to pave the way for them to traditional music through mountains sounds less than the national media that when you find yourself in a trance during a ritual you suffer spiritually so to speak. after that the music helps me withdrawal from that state it isn't like can't set sharman ism and music apart i can't focus only on music or shamanism alone and. i distance myself from music each time i perform a ritual and vice versa. the resulting symbiosis helps me live life to the full rather than eke out an existence and he's. the modern who is their instrument of

choice in the mongolian language modern that means folks who work means violin quite often this instrument is referred to simply as the horses fiddle each violin by the horse's head symbolizing that the instrument is a living creature the strings are traditionally made of forced tail two strings symbolized in manhood and womanhood for that reason one of them is made of the hair of a stallion the hair of a mare is used to make the other the two strings produce a unique comedy legend has it that once upon a time there was an invincible epic iraq had a wind horse and he fell asleep enemies chopped off his horses wings the wingless horse died the hero commemoration takes like using his head skin and bones to make the first mornin who are as soon as he started playing the instrument he recognized the voice of his divorce as they strung the songs on a morning for mungo's movie at some two billions dedicated to their beloved steeds

. go do you know throat singing begins here in the diaphragm. each time i try to produce the sound i strain my belly to send it up boards zouk i make my vocal chords vibrate a little. with the result is something like a rorschach. he. somehow got away i believe but sharma's were the first to practice throat singing some on themselves because this sort of sound boards off evil spirits which are trying to take control of sick people. by year inching off regularly host his patients in his little house situated close to the shamans yet many of them live hundreds of kilometers away probably more hear what's wrong and there isn't much health in the end and in general there is something wrong with my life and he was watching the name with

lana waters and when were you born nine hundred sixty three have you had headaches yes when did you first feel them not long ago as far as i can tell. when were you x. rayed last last spring please give me any number between zero and twelve six should you look at what was on the fourth and fifth vertebrae. all of your body's cold energies are blocked by the neck bone sitting over full. force and you do of course your kidneys and although your agendas are organs are not in the best shape sheen of. when you've got to begin with you need to have your neck bone fixed you little x. ray photograph of it together with the descriptions. i've brought some vault kept at home like you told me to do. ok i'll have a look. where was your mother bone somewhere in the crib on reachin

for you know were there any priests among your forefathers in the maternal line. and they were cossacks convicts i think they were churchgoers anyway or you would just say that men in the maternal early. yes they die earlier than women do i suppose. if your great grandmother lost an icon protecting your clan's males you wish to discuss the matter with the priest largest group. called the i suggest you have the i can restore order and consecrated nutrasweet you it will help you in your life which of course the one born at the right time to believe in all that but i am telling you that if you keep that i can in your household your son might father of four boys and two girls. by year inching off finishes consulting his patients late at night his followers

meanwhile get ready for a ritual to lift the curse which is weighed heavily on the men of a body at clan for many years the rituals principle target is a seventeen year old boy the youngest of the clans males according to the sharpens the spirits impose the curse in mongolia and one of the boys ancestors broke a holy birch tree many years ago. birch trees cut down beforehand have been put in the ground near the shamans yet as a sign of peoples request for forgiveness for several hours these people will perform sophisticated rituals by festooning the trees with ribbons and sacred objects wetted in milk and female gaited with fragrant juniper smoke. with me when i take off my cap go down on your knees to the sound of the drum beat. what a source to tell their own clock wise. i run around the trees and stand behind them . after

a long. run around the trees three times. now circle to come three times. i went down on a nice here. don't take up the grass from the ground put in the cup and drink it on. people dig up the birch trees and again pray to the spirits asking them to accept their gifts as an atonement for a tree desecrated a long time ago the procession then heads to the sacrificial bonfires and step all the so-called white food like bread cakes cookies butter and cheese is tossed into the fire milk and vodka two are considered offerings to the spirits the flames of

another bonfire licked but trees decorated with multi colored ribbons all this has to be reduced to ashes of the spirit so to meet people's requests you think of our deeds there are folks in the front with the shell mounds and had to have extraordinary skill that's what they need to display as super sensitive reaction to the end enormous powers to influence people that the big question is how they do it now that it's in the scientists my have to wreck their brains over the problem for a long time to come the most difficult part of it is explaining it in scientific terms yemo go about it as an astrology has done psychologist i can say that most of these things have a psychotherapeutic effect we see in this sense any shonen is an excellent psychologist of yours. and psychotherapist. being a traditional sharman in a city is a difficult task sometimes children come jokingly refers to himself as

a degraded schama because he can't afford to drop out of the fast tempo of modern day civilization but whenever the opportunity presents itself he heads for the holy clay he set up in the forest. before entering the forest the shaman pauses before but st which is supposed to protect his glade from intruders in the midst of you can't just walk past this place you should give the spirits a high duck it's a blue scarf that takes your wishes and prayers to the sky and sherman ism is not entirely native religion and. that's why i made a point of looking for such places you play it when i was performing a ritual this bird told me to come here this birch tree has four trunks sharing one root is this is the holiest and most revered place as for the birch tree it belongs to a higher world as you know vs no mule. although the shamanic ritual continues well into the night by year in chin off gets up early in the morning as always he wants

to make sure he has a good supply of firewood before the onset of winter winters in the against steps can be bitterly cold. smiling a little of go that way which i first started seeing my own sisters when i was still a child about the same age as my grandson is now. and i'm against audience shamanism around one thousand nine hundred eighty eight as well with my first guru was to become it i woman who lived here in the against district with us a little like she suggested me to eight old style rituals which no one else practiced at the time it was. after she died i went to mongolia where i found another group. it was some time later that spirits began entering me. russell the fact is that each generation of my ancestors included talented chairmans even all the way back to the twelfth generation of paternal relatives cars the local and so the spirits began entering me to see whether i had a mark identifying me as

a sham and or lead. me he knew it. by airing chin off as a successful farmer as well as a showman he has spent a lifetime working on a farm when he could afford to buy a plot of land he did so without hesitation it is a place where several generations of maternal relatives have been buried they built a sherman's years and started a farm chairman ism and farming together is not an easy task by a has to work hard he can't remember when he last had a day of rest but he considers himself a happy man despite the rigors he now has more than one hundred fifty sheep and goats by years even playing with the idea of buying a felt making machine by years farm was ravaged several years ago by fire but even that never stopped him from abandoning the land of his ancestors building a new house took him a lot of effort he set up a serger

a traditional boria tethering post name his house it indicates that this land has an owner. culture is that so much as in which of course one of. the biggest and most expensive elections money can buy this is how many americans see what's called political action committees or super pacs. a grand gathering of by year's followers is scheduled for noon. lives near the border with china has covered three hundred kilometers in order to seize good. and

i revealed some talent when i was still a child but i thought everybody could do what i could to when i was thirty three years of age something began tormenting me i decided to give vent to my gift i turned to people i knew priests some lamas the lamas made some calculations and told me that my ancestors were bloody at sherman's but they also suggested i find a guru for myself there at the time i didn't have an idea who shamans were i had only seen some in films i had serious doubts about my future when i came here after all i was a thirty three year old christian russian but i thought i must respond to the call of my ancestors for the sake of the children and their future or you know it was my turn to do the work. today sherman's get together to discuss current issues share plans for the coming week and find out details about the journey they're going to make soon once the meeting is over they will set out on a journey to a mountain.
