malaysia is the starting point of a circular route for high just 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 off 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 our stuff. pikas can choose between several popular routes in different areas of the coax is reserved. close to the trail stands an oval table used by ranges it's meant for hikers

a distant memory there is snow on the slopes and it is much colder the caucasian mountains gradually come into view. 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.

ranges 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 there are all threats here that the store always got from a wolf yes. keep still the workers let me see them what initially go into trucks no just those. old in. the case here they are. two three three. eight calling one zero four eight calling one of four everything's ok 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 are often different things some seek shelter from the hustle and bustle of big cities others are all to 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 the very. nature is wiser than we are given if her ingenuity is all pervasive. she is the creator that gave birth to us but there are enough but i do but it may bring us to ruin unless we come to our senses. they only have them i think that's

about the security forces imminent arrival was an extremely serious one when gunshots rang out in the distance we had to leave there was no guarantee that we wouldn't be caught in the middle of what locals tell us a regular crackdowns to try to regain control of the area for the time being the free syrian army remains in control without the services and many of these places will become almost inaccessible again with no one to monitor the ground situation locals living in these areas say that they fear the danger has no greatly increased for them in now seems a question of if not when the observers will resume their mission and so at a time when the conflict is in more desperate need of carving than ever the full one small source of hope for many people has just been halted is going to make it that much harder to establish exactly what's happening here in the country surface r.t. damascus and syria. but when i was stephen one man leaves

a new draft resolution against syria would open doors for intervention and it's not by chance the arab league has halted its fact finding mission. the new system grafted a resolution it's got language it saying if assad does not comply with the terms of that resolution then a dish of a dish will measure will be considered oh my goodness that sounds like a no fly zone in different language there was an open sesame to direct intervention meeting war russia and china are determined to prevent just the observers were sent to syria they picked the wrong man to lead the mission sudanese general the they thought they had their man in charge who would deliver the goods against. believing him for everything going or who what a general who he said started cooperating it's exactly the opposite of what the

their new have quaters artist marina portnoy has more. it began around saturday afternoon when roughly two hundred fifty occupy occupy activists in oakland california began demonstrating in the streets and as hours passed the crowd grew stronger and stronger up to roughly twenty two thousand people strong ultimately what the goal was for this demonstration is for protesters to take over and the abandoned building where they wanted to create their new headquarters because as our viewers may remember crossed the country in the united states just a few months ago police departments are removed activists from their camps and this was an attempt for oakland optimist to set up a new headquarters but as the crowd grew stronger and larger and then to late the police in oakland began firing tear gas and flash grenades at the occupy activists

at least nineteen of those protesters have been arrested oh plume police say that we officers have been injured according to the police they say members of the crowd began throwing things at times at the officers and that is what ultimately triggered this clash between police officers and occupy optimist but as far as we know this is not the first time we've seen a fierce clashes between officers and activists in oakland california got in october in late october there was a least three hundred people arrested and a former u.s. marine by the name scott olsen was left in critical condition with a head injury from being star struck in the head by a police tear gas can canister and this is something odd that put a lot of criticism on the police department in oakland california they've been criticized for being very harsh with occupy out some have said it's just blatant

. this week anger over the panning ratification of act a new international line anti-piracy agreement spilled onto the streets of poland internet users say the new law along with similar bills now suspended in the u.s. as a form of stance or ship violates human rights or just like the fall of the outrage . at first thousands across poland directed their anger squarely at the natori anti counterfeit trade agreement the idea of funding. for publishing the. marked material. is somehow illogical to me it's like punishing the corporation that produces knifes for. being used to kill somebody that will be used to monitor our internet activity i believe that talking through the internet email chatting forums form of self-expression but with every passing rally the protest grew more political the crowds put prime minister to six

such an abuse of power. think its time is more than ripe for a serious review of what we want with copyright law and it's certainly not calling out just terrorists it certainly has a striking resemblance to the much debated sopa bill. the united states which sent even online giants like google and wikipedia to take direct action but the law was only meant to work locally across the atlantic while act would be applied more globally the act of three d. s. not. by a poly amounts it's made by racial groups and in some countries it needs to be ratified by parliament but not in every country so we have another option so it's open people faired but actor is still an option for many many countries it was too much for one french e.u. deputy he quit calling act a charade then came the twitter twist the micro-blogging site saying it can now

censor tweets country by country pride is active protests in warsaw were expected to gather up to forty thousand people but a sudden big freeze kept many away never the less they intends to rally for several more weeks hoping to urge warsaw's ruling circles to take a step back twenty one other e.u. member states along with poland signed an actor but it's only here that the decision has caused so much control over sea and public dissent the document is yet to be ratified by the country spar laments which certainly leaves the possibility of more protests everywhere across the european continent let's see russia. reporting from poland. and our website arteta com you can trace the wave of public anger over attempts to police the internet from mass demonstrations to hacker warfare.

how putting revolutionary stamina to the test this week hundreds of thousands of egyptians poured back to square the iconic birthplace of the country's uprising but a year on the mood was somber and manny gyptian disenchanted today they're demanding the dissolution of the military council which and heritage absolute power from deposed president hosni mubarak this as a gypsy is today vote on the upper house of parliament following lower house elections that saw the dramatic rise of islamic members the new government is also busy putting together the country's constitution when council of also promised concessions including the lifting of a barbaric state of emergency law but egyptian author and filmmaker philip risk says little will change. i don't see it as being that big of a shift i mean we lived under military rule for thirty years and that gave the

government the authority to do just about what they wanted today we live under military rule so to me it's just a formal matter and that they they live to emergency law while we live under the rule of a military giunta since the military took over general twenty eight's over fifteen thousand civilians that we know of have faced military courts and have received trials of anywhere between six months to fifteen years and for a moment or like lifting emergency law means absolutely nothing when we have a newly elected parliament that is still under the thumb of military they've tasted power they have massive economic interests in the country again everything that's happened in egypt really needs to be looked at from an economic perspective in that there's a group of cronies of mumbai and his government that were in power they've been moved out of power and there's a new group of cronies that are in place and central to that are the military generals and they will not just let go and hand over power like that without having
