internet campaign where sites like wikipedia went off in protest for twenty four hours it seemed to be effective nonetheless america's still going after file swappers with the same kind of vigorous drug smugglers and. what do you think about that. i mean any legislation must be founded in the public opinion of what's right and wrong when you have a copyright industry that's talking about extraditing a person who has done nothing but linking to t.v. shows extradition that something useful murder and genocide or not people sharing music and television for falls ok but i mean about how you dress it up it is kind of stealing as well isn't it getting movies and music for free surely the government's got to do something was not stealing you know if it weren't stealing we wouldn't need the copyright law in the first place property lords of price but anyway where we are is that this law is so out of touch with public opinion that i

think if you don't reduce it now the next generation of law makers are going to just scrap it altogether this is such an abuse of power i think is time is more than ripe for a serious review of what we want with copyright law and it's certainly not calling out the day just terrorists if you have the top job in the world that can sort this out how would you do that i mean protest against the planned legislation played the bills what are basic nature of the free i know you say the say you feel the same. material how do you stop the stealing while keep while keeping the web of free of control the same time is a problem. it is the corporate monopoly has come up with freedom of speech just like you say given monopoly for the entertainment industry and the values that we achieved during the enlightenment freedom of expression freedom of speech as

a politician it's obvious that the latter has precedence if a business cannot sustain its business model in the face of civil liberties it's the business model of the business that house and change not all civil liberties ok i mean there's nothing i can say to change your mind on this i know. i'm not going to argue from the record companies point of you're not going to argue it from the artist point of view and that we're getting a taste of what governments can do to take down sites they see as being infringing and how far do you think they would go at the end of the day well look at so by this law there was. the pointing of a finger the copyright industry will be able to shut down legal competitor in another country shutdown incomparably new show on their website from the internet. burden of proof they will be shocked to be proved innocent.

mitri says he and his son kim have such a climate but it only allows them to film the landscapes it's about all this close read it's all set up i can't tell you how beautiful. the weather is right back up. this mountain crossland. this place has declared a world heritage site. of the total 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 let. me bring hawks back to this past. july. but i mean this is a bearded vulture i need these numbers and. birds of this kind bigger nests on low lying logs all of thirty or forty kilometers from here. when they go hunting. fifty kilometers in search of food. they're interesting creatures. the above go is situated close to the great a 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.

let's try to get the mountains in fraying filming is best done from the highest point on the a bar go it's about nine hundred meters above sea level here dimitri is teaching a 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 metres above sea level. which is the. i'm going to film these magnificent landscapes we never know in order to show them. to the hundreds of people who never venture here. or with either because they have no time. when you go because they don't understand the meaning of nature. be able. to go lie side by

side with the pass translated from the caspian 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 pos begins in the above go 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 and red 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. oh oh oh oh oh oh oh. oh. oh oh. oh oh oh oh surely before dawn the metering kill had 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 if 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 will only have ten to fifteen minutes for that. when you. form.

the sunrise is a mystery to the one used to it no single one is ever the same the villain in. its truly wonderful. the nearest settlement is far away radio is the only means of communication with human civilization. hey folks if you're listening to our movement radio show us your hosts once again and you get to ring and look at the last term and talked about the history of the caucuses nature reserve to get you to the small studio broadcasting the movement show is in the town and scores of kilometers away from the a bar go for schoolchildren tell locals about the caucuses reserve journalist. oversees the programs the children talk about the reserves animals surviving trees mountaintops and rare plants. they draw on their experience as reporters and

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 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 and the outer edge of the grove marks its natural boundary in the north the west and east in the horns of an infamous mountain river called the hostile joint where the canyon is at its most narrow the never ending war of war is a sign of its dangerous allure. the new love of. this canyon is notorious because the water rises quickly when the snow melts or after terentia already has been with a view of a whirlpool formed just from water splashing against one side of the ravine and then against the other while the water anything that falls into the whirlpool gets sucked down to the bottom people trying to swim will walk across it end up drowning . there have been several deaths as a result. we live over to me that's why this place is infamously knowing that it's not the devil's grace in that.

the direction of the caucuses reserve personally i've a sees the rotation of stars and food supplies in this remote area. the helicopter rarely stops at juga for more than twenty minutes but even such a short period of time is enough for dimitri says an anchor and his son killed to get several shots on take. most of the world's weather stations located in major cities record changes in the atmosphere resulting from industrial waste and vehicle fumes the data collected juga and similar stations is important for fundamental research into how the earth's climate changes in areas situated far away from manmade sources of
