precious. one team is on shift for two months. it's i on this way from to go to the grand northern slope the helicopter passes by and mt fished the highest point and the western ridge it's so. elites . after an hour's trip by dimitri and his son kid will walk about the northern sector of the caucuses reserve in the company of ranges the jugo

weather station is now schools of coleman says away. people and animals share the only path they raise in this area going to do the bison let humans approach them but most of the people travelling around the resort ranges in horseback last short while ago patrol duty in a different area the focus of the short distance from here they can seem on shaky show that came across the line bison. the lettuce come a point close to them. were only fifteen meters away. bison leaving the coaxes reserve have no enemies sometimes humans can come very close to them provided they are on horseback buses a range of dismount the bison instantly make it clear they're poised for attack.

horses are the most reliable and indispensable companions when people go on long trips in the mountains only horses with good training eligible for the job with this one is called churton ish. is my favorite. but we became first friends. reading him is no problem he does what he's told to do. but this one is still a young stallion. so that it will let anybody touch him but all the bloke. is scared of everybody. who.

chose another chair on his one of the remotest areas of the eastern sector of the caucuses reserve several reserve stars and their families live here on a permanent basis. even if the weather is warm it's only possible to reach this place with an off road vehicle schoolchildren from a nearby village upset by often visit reserve ranges they have organized an eco movement called the little bison. hello hello glad to steer. clear of our guests. that's it. oh

but that doesn't work the top machine we are. churning malaysia is the starting point of a circular route for hikers only visitors with a permit and a map are allowed to enter the reserve they gear is inspected and ranges teach them the elementary rules for surviving in the mountains children from the little bison always welcome here they already have experience walking cross-country with the children from the little bison often across the river in that way but it's risky in winter time so today we're going to take a detour we'll cross the bridge and forest warden will take care of all stuff. pikas can choose between several popular routes in different areas of the caucuses reserve.

close to the trail stands an oval table used by ranges it's meant for hikers passing by wanting to rest for a moment children from the little bison club gather here on the bank of the stream to discuss major ecological actions suggestion as we all know that on the eve of the new year celebrations many local people pick up axis and go to the forest to cut down our green beauties it's a bird save the green beauty is the name of the movement organized by the children so they make leaf let's bear in the image of a foot tree. that got their i taxed on the leaf lands and display them prominently in the village of. the children hope their peaceful actions will help prevent further trees from being cut down illegally. preserve ranges however take more radical measures against lawbreakers their main task is

finding and attaining poachers. one of the most challenging jobs takes rangers to mount. and each time they go under a veil of secrecy regardless of day or night the conditions painstaking job requires special knowledge and staying power they need to be skilled horseman as well as able to discern telltale signs showing the presence of trespassers and have no difficulty finding their bearings. and you will always be tempted to answer the reserve because beasts are easy prey here your reporters up there are not as much afraid of humans as they are elsewhere because they're under constant protection. such you. see them as enticing tidbits because hunting for them is so easy.

as the path reaches higher altitudes one climatic zone in the mountains gives way to another here the fog that envelop the forests in the foothills is now a distant memory there is snow on the slopes and it is much colder the caucasian mountains gradually come into view. the feet. from. after several attempts to find the best point for filming the landscape dimitri suddenly comes face to face with a brown bear one of the rarest and largest animals of the caucuses reserve.

am rangers did find fresh tracks they were close to the huts where the rangers put up for the night they reported the find over walkie talkie that he would use their all for tracks here the other store all got from a wolf yes. keep still the workers let me see them what they go in the trucks now just those holding. bases here they are. two three three four eight calling one zero four eight calling one of four everything's ok no poacher tracks only some left by animals the latest tracks are those of wolves three of

them over and out. different people visiting the coaxes nature reserve a raft of different things some seek shelter from the hustle and bustle of big cities all this is around the thrills only a few are able to blend in with this wonderful place and become possibly. just invested by old and yet i feel i'm an integral part of this world yet i do you well know crazy romantic. i'm nearly drowned almost frozen to death and full of cliffs above it in. nature is wiser than we are given to her ingenuity is all pervasive. she is the creator that gave birth to us about enough but i do that and

they bring us to ruin unless we come to our senses. and atlanta i think does what people should devote their lives to. let's go get the book i don't know if i can cope with the task but i'm going to try.

new violence in libya gadhafi loyalists clash with the interim government forces in several cities all across the country. the gulf states members of the arab league are to withdraw their observers from syria the news comes a day after damascus rejected the league's calls for president assad to step aside and form a new unity government with the opposition. plus it derided it for being one sided the extradition law between the u.s. and the u.k. designed to help bring terror suspects to justice faces fresh calls for

a view of british anger it's a one way street to american jails. a very warm welcome to you from all of us here at artsy i'm a receiver showing the e.u. has imposed a new round of tough sanctions on the syrian regime meanwhile the gulf states say they are pulling their observers from the country this comes after damascus rejected the arab league's call for president assad to step down summing up a month of its observer mission in the country the league said that all sides in the syrian conflict must lay down arms the plan are a body wants assad to hand power to a deputy and pave the way for a unity government with the opposition with international sanctions against the regime being stepped up it's the people though who are feeling the squeeze for now

reports from damascus. trying to shine a light on what's happening in the country. pin you know for another month but every day is proving more and more of a challenge for the people. due to the european sanctions in syria to argue in syria we don't have any tourists we don't have any for most the e.u. has no one pays its eleventh consecutive around the sanctions this time putting a travel ban on people and businesses linked with the assad regime it says we've been finding out the cascaded sanctions this woman syria's struggling economy actually they are punishing the syrian people in a way or another i mean if they have governmental sanctions to be imposed that they're business with the syrian government not with the people but the power is completely out of this door in the central damascus at the moment and this is one of the main criticisms aimed at the economic sanctions is that the simply affecting

the way so every day syrian people in fact most businesses in this area now i depended upon these types of diesel generators that are needed because our cars have become an almost daily blow at people's lives where the not everyone can afford the backup at home with his wife and children and then says when the power cuts out the family simply have to make do generator very expensive it costs like. sixty thousand two hundred pounds as i know it's not cheap and it's not just families and small businesses that are being affected oil production has fallen dramatically after an export in by ok and the cost of raw materials here has risen as one official from the chamber of commerce tells us a plummeting currency and rising prices have pushed many businesses to take their trade and money elsewhere in the business of money don't put all the money in the

business keep somebody maybe outside maybe. this is the. market because no more cash money for money. entry to recent form halfway through our interview the lights go out. oh. yeah. i have. but you are who. stops in. spite cools the dialogue it's been political and economic pressure on the country that's been favored in attempting to resolve the. the arab league observers mission has also made little headway safe then they say they were there simply to investigate and to

reports there have been numerous calls for even more observers to be allowed into the country i think the real issue is that the syrians need to allow in a much much more neutral a much more wide ranging and much more forceful international observer mission if they've got nothing to hide if it's if they're genuinely not killing innocent people then one of the the the sanctions impact is heavily contested this need doubt that they are putting pressure on an increasingly isolated government many people in the country it will say made an already desperate situation even worse. damascus syria. and still to come for you this hour here on our when fear of lawsuits comes at the cost of human life how rescue services in the u.s. coming under fire after a number of cases where they looked the other way all of this during life threatening emergencies. but british students' fate hangs in the

balance as he faces extradition to the united states it's due to the controversial agreement between london and washington that allows america to demand any want to be handed over to us justice system or on the grounds of reasonable suspicion alone and authorities either bennett reports treaty originally designed to deal with terror suspects and now appears to have gone far beyond its initial limit. from running a website in his bedroom with links to pirated movies to up to ten years in a u.s. federal prison richard o'dwyer is the latest victim of the u.k.'s controversial extradition treaty with america his actions aren't even a crime in britain that count as copyright infringement in the us for the judge that was enough for richard's mother it was devastating. very telling. you about the gulf states i don't think the cuban rigid citv shank was seized by

u.s. authorities last year this is what you see on the home page now he didn't host any illegal videos itself but posted links to where users could find them u.s. prosecutors claim richard banked two hundred thirty thousand dollars in advertising revenue from the site although he's never been to america they claim his actions had a direct consequence is there to be treated unfairly slightly. here because he was just pro extradition for well after it all about but i'm just going to go with the other side anyway so. all that work that we put in. and all but you were there when you i'm not sure if you were there last time before we started a good strong argument that all went out the window completely. you know giving up no no we can't go. to. the u.k. u.s. extradition treaty was signed in two thousand and three supposedly to bring

international terrorists to justice but many feel it's unfair to british citizens it makes it far easier for america to extradite someone from the u.k. than the other way around so for extraditions of five to two in america's favor veteran british m.p. simming campbell's leading a review of the treaty by his party the smaller partner in the governing coalition . what i argue for is that the position of a british citizen should be no worse than that of an american to and at the moment you think it's impounds i'm in no doubt that it's out of bounds richard was a innocently caught up in something which was never intended to deal with people like him gary mckinnon is case is another that's left british m.p.'s crying out for change the asperger's sufferer has been fighting extradition for seven years he's wanted for hacking into pentagon files that he claims he was searching for evidence of u.f.o.'s a recent parliamentary debate on the treaty was so one sided in favor of changing

it that a vote wasn't even needed but what's happening in there is still not enough to stop richard o'dwyer is pending extradition his case is certainly highlighted the need for something to be done but any changes could be too late for him his case is now in the hands of home secretary theresa may who has been accused of abandoning plans to change the treaty richard and his family will get the chance to appeal the decision at a higher court but their options are rapidly running out either bennett artsy london. it is coming to life in the heart of moscow and the fighting has broken out in libya between supporters of former leader moammar gadhafi and forces loyal to the new government the head of the national transitional council has warned that the country is on the verge of returning to a state of civil war let's get more details on this now from our teaser. standing

by live maria good to see you so it's it might seem to some that libya is reverting to parts of what we saw last year to the mid to late months of two thousand and eleven with tribal factions here loyalists going against opposition how serious is this talk of civil war. worry this is very serious in the last few days the cetacean libya has been very tense and very dangerous actually indeed with anti anti see national transitional council interim government protests and clashes between the pro-government fathers and food is still loyal to the ousted leader and more money could affy taken place and different places throughout the year on monday we did receive reports that. duffy loyalists actually managed to take control over the city of bani walid southeast of the capital tripoli once known as the duffys main stronghold and did also manage to raise green flag at one of the gates of the town green flag symbol of. duffy's room and local officials have been

reporting about at least five people and to see people killed in. these fallen so we can see this is very simple the bani walid as i decide as always been conceded gadhafi is main stronghold and since the beginning of the our crossing people from this particular area from bani walid have been volunteered to be fight for could offer to die for the former colonel threw all everywhere throughout leave and once it was said to be this song called for. the sun safe is long so it's very simple it's at the ballance erupted at this level at this serious level in this particular area and it didn't come as a surprise coming can say for sure what was the reason for this fall and the reason behind these tensions but. we just know that the same day early

on monday the libby is justice minister has come to me to announcing that the international criminal court. agreed to try to say for this one could off the song in leave it until even more actually later today later on monday. i see see the spokes person deny this information has been it has never been confirmed but actually they was an announcement from minister of justice of leave and later we saw this violence erupt maybe these two things could be connected later on monday we also were receiving reports about violence around tripoli and following that the empty seat. checkpoints. around the capital just. for security reasons and also three and to

see people who were reputed to be killed in the city often ghazi in the eastern part of leave there in ghazi city which is known to be the stronghold of the rebels since the beginning of the uprising last february. so you talk about the renewed aggression here the people are angry and to see for a slow steady perform certain levels of corruption you mentioned the end to see how suppositions and checkpoints in and around benghazi or any other courses of action the national transitional council has been undertaking to avert the violence. yes you are absolutely right we can see that angriness among the liberal population is rising over how and to see is. is you know control is governing. and we know that we know it from the local officials and then the ballance erupted in bani walid local officials. and to see to

send army to send troops to help them fight against gadhafi loyalists but the army has never been sent there so we can understand that and to cease trying to calm down and is actually being maybe afraid of. the violence escalates and we also know that following the demonstrations in benghazi when crowds of students have been protesting against anti see have been angry about is you sad slow pace of reforms and lack of transparency one of the high profile members of anti c. resigned actually and this resignation was accepted by the chief of anti so so we can see that and to see is trying to. take control of this situation but with actually little success so far. some reflection of that with the latest on libya thank you. well there is

a more trouble ahead for libya and only dialogue can stop the country plunging back into civil war but is this segment from russia's a presidential envoy to africa who has just been in a trip to libya he gives us his insight he will be doing so later in the program but for now a quick taste of what's up ahead. it has to take goodwill from all the sides which were involved in a very long lasting conflict which to my personal between the real civil and in some areas of libya of the civil war is not over so the so there is the who does the area as an area of the certain it's the no man's land it's out of control of new government forces its own of tribes it's a zone of uncontrolled arms trafficking so i think that the difficult time for libya will last for where the some of the if. political elite

is not ready to sit at the round table. now a quarter past the hour here in moscow so the e.u. has delivered on its threat to ban the import of crude oil from iran in response to its nuclear program the latest round of sanctions prohibits any new oil contracts while allowing for existing deals to run into july but iran is apparently finding ways to keep the business pumping reports say iran will keep supplying one of its biggest customers in india but it will get payment in gold instead of dollars that is pretty shrewd to reports from new delhi. india actually has already bought iranian oil using gold instead of u.s. dollars and this is extremely significant because every year india actually spends twelve billion u.s. dollars on iranian oil and now actually beijing is also saying that it might want

to jump on board with the new delhi and also look into some sort of agreement with iran to continue to get oil new delhi and beijing actually account for forty percent of the imports of iranian oil the e.u. only counts for twenty percent obviously we've been talking about all week about this oil embargo that the e.u. announced on monday that they're hoping to roll out and put into place by chill live first and obviously if new delhi and beijing find a way to continue trading with iran using gold instead of u.s. dollars this would severely hurt what the european union in washington is trying to do russia has also said that it wants to continue trading with the run using domestic car and seize instead of u.s. dollars obviously the point of the e.u. oil embargo would be to bring iran back to the negotiation table over its nuclear program obviously iran has consistently maintained that this is a peaceful nuclear program the one.
