the genocide so many countries around the world russia china france of course it will be sweden switzerland others recognize this crime so we think it's a step toward mounting pressure increasing pressure on turkey to finally come to terms with your many genocide both truthfully and justly one very welcome aspect of this for us that is arming the americans is that it shines a spotlight on president obama president obama promised as a candidate as a senator to recognize you're going genocide immediately after getting a like a broken leg so we hope that this reminds the president was obligation to his own commitment and also reminds him of that he needs to do the right thing and the congress should do the same two thousand while i believe it was one of the finest moment initially recognized genocide exactly sort of your one they did such which is that recognition of trade between irish and actually increased so turkey is pretty much a paper tiger they make very vocal threats but often they don't follow through

they're going to do what they do in terms of trade and military relations based on their own interests the trial date has been set for the american woman who was shipped here and opted to russian son to moscow with nothing more than a note saying she didn't want him anymore torry hansen placed the seven year old on a transatlantic flight to russia all by himself claiming he had psychological problems hansen is being sued for child support by the world association for children and parents and the trial has been set for march twenty seventh the boy arthur on remains in russia where he's receiving professional care at a very special children's village the incident sparked outrage and led to new adoption rules between the u.s. and russia. russia's presidential election is less than fifty days away and the candidates are setting forth their agendas prime minister and can time to putin has published a second major newspaper article this time outlining his plans to unite russia's multi-ethnic society parties peter oliver reports. but talking on

multiculturalism a migration vladimir putin praised what he sees as russia's long history as a multicultural nation a history he says goes back to the days of the russian empire it said that there have been some very serious problems though when it comes to migration and integration of migrants in russia that these problems over the last twenty years since the collapse of the soviet union were very serious indeed in our problems that russia is still struggling to to deal with today speaking about what the results can be of migration going wrong he warned of the rise of nationalism the rise of xenophobia these type of issues that we saw acted out in real life eight in moscow in two thousand and ten with ethnic clashes taking place i'm right next to the kremlin in the heart of the russian capital he hit out at those that seem nationalism right he hit out at those who have slogans such as stop feeding and stop funding the caucuses saying well the caucuses are

a part of russia talking of multiculturalism he said that russia had a very unique system of multiculturalism something very different to say what happens in europe where he said basically multiculturalism had failed and that russia system was something this had to be he's a very different manner over to me and said that there's no way that you can completely get rid of all illegal immigration into russia but if he's elected president in the elections in march that he hopes to be able to to make significant cuts to the amount of people that are arriving in russia illegally now he wants to do this by toughening the laws to try into turkey people from entering the country illegally he also wants to see a system put in place not just to monitor foreign immigrants coming into russia but also to monitor internal migrants also by twenty thirty he wants to see an exam put in place to those wanting to come and settled and live and work in russia but they have to be able to pass the russian language exam also an exam on russian culture

russian history so those are the things that he wants to put him. to tackle the issue of migration and multiculturalism in russia. have next art he talks to the president of the palestinian national authority mahmoud abbas about the latest moves in a bid for statehood stay with us for that exclusive interview. visit is the final stop on your european tour palestine is still waiting for

a resolution to the statehood issue what do you expect from russia's leadership at this stage when the issue of palestinians legal rights is being decided according to international law. the russian federation as well as the soviet union before it has been regarded as one of the key and principal hopes for the palestinian people since the one nine hundred seventy s. when the late palestinian president yasser arafat visited moscow our nations have enjoyed good relations it's not only the result of the role that russia plays in the region but also due to the fact that russia was a great power a member of the united nations security council and a member of the quartet of middle east mediators this is why we focused so much on strengthening our relations and why we expect russia to play a positive role recently the quartet took a number of steps calling for negotiations without doubt we coordinate our position with russia and several other countries to get an understanding of where palestine

stands what it should do and what it shouldn't. this is why we visited the u.k. germany and have now come to russia we hope that the talks with israel currently underway in jordan will result in a positive outcome but if they fail we would need to have a list of further steps to be taken and in putting together that action list we want to listen to the opinions of the countries i mentioned earlier and russia in particular. railway officials the negotiations are just a way to gain time they say the talking games will not bring about solutions or agreement which will make time for those who know how to use it. how to use it what stands behind that statement. well. it means they want to preserve the status quo something we completely reject all illegal settlements all illegal buildings must be torn down and removed from palestinian territories perhaps the

israelis have a different vision although in the past they have left their illegal settlements on the sinai peninsula and sharm el sheikh and returned back to their borders we have the same situation in lebanon they'll leave some of the settlements there even with that they want to preserve the existing situation of the palestinian territories and to convince the international community to accept that they want to make us accept this vision but we will never accept it. and then jimmy netanyahu said that he gave you a twenty one point detailing the israeli position by doing so he refused to meet in ramallah despite his promise what is the document all about. i met him three times in september two thousand and ten the first time in washington on an invitation from president obama and the second time in sharm el sheikh and the third time we met was on the twenty fifth of september at his house in jerusalem where we talked for four hours and discussed all the issues yet the

talks ended with no positive results no discontinuation of the development of the occupied territories no changes to security policies the israeli way they intend to occupy the west bank and the heights for another forty years. this is colonial policy and colonialist logic this is not the logic of a person interested in constructive talks and peaceful coexistence with his neighbors i don't refuse to meet but i need to have a good reason now i guess twenty one point proposal and what are these twenty one points are they just some headlines or indeed a list of twenty one issues that need to be addressed by our peoples. as of today we only need to discuss and solve two issues. borders and security why would we want to add more issues to the agenda did you think it was some sort of a secret but it's no news and it's not of any practical use either but it is not appropriate for a prime minister to submit this way

a document that simply enumerates some issues such as borders security the jewish state etc with no clear indication of what is actually expected of the other party . do you think current events in the arab world could strengthen your position in the peace talks and help to resolve the palestinian issue internationally. there's still no clear position common to all arab countries yes there are revolutionary changes taking place but it will take time to figure out what results they brought about the countries we want to work with in order to strengthen our position will need time to get back on their feet and build their states under the new conditions however the general arab stance on the palestinian issue has not changed and the people who lead these revolutions are the same people who supported the palestinians in their pursuit of independence and these people have not changed what has changed is their attitude

towards their leaders and their governments but that is their internal matter and we don't get involved the arab stance on the palestinian issue has remained the same. thank you very much for being with us to the every possible thing in the implementation of political reforms and creation of a palestinian state. of nature and discover its beauty. the. communicate with the wind. and become free. see what nature can give you.

this faraway place can be reached by helicopter. first special permission to travel around here. mitri says he and his son kim have such a climate. to film the landscapes. that oh this close read it's all set up i can't tell you how beautiful. the weather was right back up. this mountain crossland. this place has declared a world heritage site. of

the coastal area of the caucuses nature of. a long time ago the people of the caucuses used to shepherd droves of sheep across the a bug of lambs were often targeted by hawks even today. back to this past. july. but. this is a bearded vulture i need is the bugs and. birds of this kind bigger nests on low lying logs of thirty or forty kilometers from here. but when they go hunting for. fifty kilometers in search of food. they're interesting creatures. the above go is

situated close to the greater northern slope of the caucuses mountain range from the grassland you can get a panoramic view of the mountain ridge of the caucuses nature reserve. there is also a clear view of mt fished one of the highest points in the western caucuses the local problem let's try to get the mountains in fraying filming is best done from the highest point on the bar go it's about nine hundred meters above sea level here dimitri is teaching your son killed how to set up for the filming. look. normal you can see that the lighting is on one side or the mist covers most of the valley. we don't want to film only the mist we need to focus on the foreground look at the grass gleaming in the sunlight

and it's light of the valley is dark. so the light strip will show this shot to the best advantage. no. the greater northern slope is a continuous chain of mountain ridges tops by snowy peaks millions of years ago there was a vast sea in this place the smallest part of it the black sea is now hidden behind mountain ridges they form a shield in the way of warm breezes blowing from the sea the warm air creates a sub tropical climate in the foothills of the southern slope of the greater caucus's ridge there is a moderate zone further upslope the kingdom of eternal snow and ice on the mountain tops is more than three thousand meters above sea level. which is the opposite i'm going to film these magnificent landscapes we never know

in order to show the thought to the hundreds of people who never ventured here. or were either because they have no time. when you go because they don't understand the meaning of nature. be able. to go lives side by side with the pass translated from the cassie and language means the mountain of caucasian goats the reserve is the only habitat of western caucasian goats in the wild here they don't move about very much a small herd might well stay for decades in the same area high in the mountains one thousand eight hundred metres. the only trail leading across the past begins in the embargo grassland. caucuses reserve ranges often use it to make rounds of the area they always do it

on horseback a round trip usually takes one week. where they come across perches interests on this path through the brook and europe is the only way here there are rocks on one side and a thick tangle of red as and right on the other it is very difficult terrain. all. the ranges camp out in small parts and it's always cold in the mountains at night.

or. shortly before dawn the metering killed head to a small flat mountain top according to an old caucasian legend do you often meet the sunrise in the mountains lives a long and happy life. get real you can no seem out you go and you're right in that the sun will rise from behind the aspen pass. we're going to choose the highest point for filming we'll only have ten to fifteen minutes for that. new. form.

agent stature martin significant in front of these or inspiring giant. one of the most famous parts of the caucuses nature reserve is the growth situated close to the black sea coast the oldest tree here is over a thousand years old. the grove has survived several generations of tourists and many natural disasters. according to scientists the greatest of them took place some eighteen million years ago. a rupture in the earth's crust created a natural labyrinth and a gorge the gorges bed was filled with water from a mountain stream. this landscape has undergone no changes since then. visitors are fascinated by the mysterious origin of the grove and the agent trees there in they think of it as a living relic of the distant past. i can tell you that i really do feel

mystical about it was that people rarely break the rules here they're not eager to destroy or cut things down to the bush that some people might say i'm crazy but i honestly believe nature herself is at work here and i think this place is protected by higher forces. a small canyon in the outer edge of the grove marks its natural boundary in the north the west and east in horns of an infamous mountain river called the haast joint where the canyon is at its most narrow the never ending roar of water is a sign of its dangerous allure. then you'll know. this canyon is notorious because the water rises quickly when the snow melts or after terentia already has been. a whirlpool formed a strong water splashing against one side of the ravine and then against the other

. anything that falls into the whirlpool gets sucked down to the bottom people trying to swim or walk across and end up drowning your youth on the road there have been several deaths as a result. that's why this place is infamously known as the devil's great meal in the sure. there are four major waterways in the caucuses reserve a river is one of the deepest and which is down has been put up there a small hydro power station supplies electricity to the heart's in the upper reaches of the reserves northern sector where ranges stay for the night. but the. water is clean through out of the reserve. when you push through wherever you go you can get some water from any spraying or small river or do it your mortar
