the highest point of the western ridge. it's so. after an hour's trip by an air dimitri and his son kirill walk about the northern sector of the caucuses reserve in the company of ranges the jugo weather station is now schools of commerce is a way. people and animals share the only path there is in this area. do the bison let humans approach them but most of the people traveling around the reserve granges on horseback last short while ago patrol duty in a different area of focus for the short distance from here they can see month show there came across nine bison. the lettuce come quite close to them. were only

fifteen meters away. bison living in the caucuses reserve have no enemies sometimes humans can come very close to them provided they are on horseback buses a ranger dismount the bison instantly make it clear they're poised for attack. the. 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 chetan ish. he's my favorite. but we became first friends. riding him is no problem he does what he's told to do. this one is still

a young stallion. so that it will let anybody touch him. the bloke. is scared of everybody. joel never chair his one of the remotest areas of eastern sector of the caucuses reserve several reserve staff 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 the nearby village of sit by often visit reserve ranges they have organized an eco movement called the little bison. hello hello glad to see you. dear our guests. that you know. that doesn't touch the machine we are. churning 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 zero is welcome here they already have experience walking cross country the children from the little mice and often cross the river in that way but it's reese . 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 new year's 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 a movement organized by the children so they make leaflets bearing the image of

a food tree. that got their i taxed on the leaflets 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 detaining poachers. one of the most challenging jobs takes rangers to mount yet. each time they go under a veil of secrecy regardless of day or night or the conditions they're 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 enter

the reserve because beasts are easy prey here. they're not as much afraid of humans as they are elsewhere because they're under constant protection. 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. of. the feet.

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 hut where the rangers put up for the night they reported the find over walkie talkie that he would use there all threats here at the store all he got from a wolf yes. keep still the workers let me see them

what initially go into trucks no just those holding. bases here they are. two three three. 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 others are off to thrills only a few are able to blend in with this wonderful place and become possible.

week's top stories on our t.v. the league's beleaguered mission arab nations halt their observers work in syria over reports of an upsurge in violence a masochist says that it could make things worse the. talks between iran and un nuclear inspectors resume amid international tension iran is considering stopping fuel supplies to the e.u. within days as a response to sanctions. although u.s. anti corporate protests feel the full force of the law in oakland again with officers resorting to tear gas and flash grenades to disperse demonstrators as hundreds are arrested. and multinational proposals to stop where piracy

sparked mass protests in poland activists say their government is supporting internet censorship not copyright protection. a warm welcome to the weekly here in artsy this sunday with me and you so now we've got the latest news from around the world and a look back at the week's top stories we begin with the arab league observers mission in syria which has stopped its work saying it's concerned over reports of a spike of violence more than one hundred people are thought to have been killed in fighting between security forces and rebel groups in the last few days alone damascus condemned the decision saying it could actually result in more bloodshed and foreign military intervention now the u.n. security council resolution on syria is under consideration. russia rejected the latest draft put forward by e.u. and arab states calling for regime change in the country and allowing further

action if damascus doesn't comply political analyst david lemmon believes it's not a coincidence that the arab league throws its mission just as western powers up the calls for foreign intervention well my goodness it sounds like a no fly zone to different language it was an open sesame to direct intervention meeting with the observers who were sent in to syria you know they picked the wrong man to lead the mission the sudanese general who. they thought they is the enemy and it's your eyes who would deliver the goods against the side believing him for everything going oh i'm cool what a general we do he said a start is cooperating it's exactly the opposite of what the last one they wanted a pretext to step up whatever they have in mind which is some kind of. the best solution is that the sooner you said let's i want to see it it's usually chicken

opposition in syria syria is you know sorry to hear you the reporter in the one that got you or did we get to go to a national poll that apparently go some credibility he says good of a jar really of syrians. for america and britain and in the arab league to get to the end in syria years and so years and to have an arrogant resolution saying and bill that would do what you have to weeks well absolutely should in diplomatic way which totally people go oh. well around a hundred observers are still in syria awaiting further instructions but gulf nations are not taking part they withdrew their monitors saying the mission has failed to hold the syrian government to its pledge to end violence but it's our further reports weakening the fact finding team leave syrians on the ground preparing for the worst. saying they get by and heading home they've said it's from

the gulf states leave the airport then mission incomplete leaving behind a country in a deepening crisis is never going to be easy so you want the arab league monitors to stay. i don't want to write from the word go the missions prefer problematic the opposition accuse the monitors of being too closely aligned with the government the government's now accused of being part of a foreign conspiracy and they will it just tickle complains to the observers seemed ill equipped on the ground and there are concerns that they were simply too few numbers to undertake such a major task but if things were bad at the beginning now they seem even worse following in saudi arabia's footsteps all the gulf states withdrew their observers after damascus rejected their research proposal that included president cede power to a deputy and a unity government was interesting that this conference is very interested in

democracy and they have nothing and this is the most interesting this is something pani will talk about about what will have a new constitution we are going to more democratic country two parties are but what about to do about the west come up talk about syria which would be changed and leave saudi arabia as it has damascus is rejection was no surprise those sides of the conflict of shame equal unwillingness to soften their stance even when the daily death toll in the country continually rising the killing of the head of the syrian arab red crescent was on the road to damascus yet another remind the spiraling situation. of the observers at such a creature of a bid to the country's crisis is seen as controversial the arab league essentially has no credibility on the arab. st what the arab league mission is trying to accomplish is good enough everything is concrete everything about human rights

abuses on the part of the are so very easy to then take to the un and the evidence would be so strong that even russia and china would feel compelled to work but as of now one month after this mission started they seem to know the monitors things and i know more about what's going on the ground and they did. at the beginning and so it all looks like you know we're going back to square one as the death toll rises the proposal being floated to increase the number of observers on the ground and provide them with u.n. training could be a life saving would but for now these plans have been pissed on hold in fact much of the substance of the report that they graded pieces on both sides seems to have been lost in the flurry of diplomatic activity now france and britain have joined forces at the united nations to try to end president assad's. waving goodbye to that gulf state colleagues some observers remain but it's small consolation syria

didn't close the doors in for the arab league i think. it's diplomacy would give anyone to help the syrian but the last decision in the hands of the syrian people not in the hands not of bleakness good concept it's a gloomy outlook for the country with little regional or international agreements or what action should be taken to stop the violence and putting an end to the crisis seem to be slipping further and further as a very. artsy damascus syria. well if syria is locked in a spiral of violence and libya is not far behind coming up on our team months after the fall of gadhafi respected n.g.o.s doctors without borders suspend its mission to libya after being forced to treat torture victims were then sent straight back for further interrogation. but first un nuclear inspectors have started a three day mission to examine iran's atomic activities tehran says it's certain

the talks the first in more than three years will prove its programs purpose is purely peaceful the i.a.e.a. visit comes at a time when tensions between iran and the west are approaching crisis level on monday even nations adopted an unprecedented set of sanctions against the islamic republic which include a complete embargo on oil supplies from iran that's meant to come into force in july but experts say the imposed ban will hit the struggling european economy much more than the iranian this is not in favor of european interests what we are doing there with this stupid senseless and also wrong embargo and what we clearly see is that this happens upon washington's wishes so we have a few countries greece in the forefront with twenty five percent of its overall oil imports in two thousand and ten that coming from iran but it then we have thirteen spain with ten percent and in this regard we do have

a lot of european mostly homemade problems now in addition to that we have problems with this oil embargo and as we see on the other hand i just spoke to some of your renewed friends iran will do quite well even under the embargo. well meanwhile tehran is preparing a response to the e.u. in bargo renia lawmakers are considering an immediate halt of oil sales to europe sure i'm sure friday an activist from the campaign against sanctions and military intervention in iran says the measure shows tehran is powerful enough not succumb to economic pressure the grace period that the vision for six months. ago to take place may actually not be that graceful so iran is taking matters into his own hands and other issues that it shows the complex feeling in the midst of politics and the power that the iranian parliament holds and that is accountable to its people and it's not going to just sit back and watch what's going to happen to

the national sovereignty off the wrong foot to issues really an excuse for deepening that confrontation between iran and the list actually has the same time that imposing does involve those on the wrong if you see that some european countries are selling more offers to the countries also to the arab countries those to persian gulf so they are benefiting from this is iran the phobia of the start creating in the region so why solve the problem with negotiations laws some countries are cashing in. we're keeping a close eye on the iranian oil and nuclear saw go on air and online for you head to our web site or to dot com for more analysis and updates on the latest developments .

well u.s. occupy movement protests once again turned violent in oakland california police fired tear gas and bean bag rounds and some two thousand demonstrators several hundred were arrested as they attempted to occupy a van kit convention center before storming into city hall arches were important has more. it began around saturday afternoon when roughly two hundred fifty occupy occupy optimists in oakland california began demonstrating in the streets and it was hours past the crowd grew stronger and stronger up to crosley 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 thankfully the police in oakland began firing tear gas and flash grenades at the occupy atlanta this morning 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 came to occupy an optimist but as guys you know this is not the first time we've seen a fierce clash between officers and activists in oakland california got in 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 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. well those occupy protests in america come against the background of the race for the white house military might for coping with the crisis find out what president obama's administration is putting top of its to do list our expert evaluates the leaders state of the union speech but. election agitation i get tayshaun i should say groups rush so we take a look at how politicians are making a push for power on the internet. but it's been a turbulent week for poland which song thousands of people protesting against the anti web piracy pact their countries signed up to along with twenty one other european states say the multinational deal which still needs to be ratified by the european parliament allows firms to censor the internet alexi reports from warsaw.

at first thousands across poland directed their anger squarely at the notorious anti counterfeit trade agreement the idea of funding. for publishing the. material it's somehow illogical to me it's like punishing the corporation that produces knifes for. being used to kill somebody but with every passing rally the protest grew more political the crowds put prime minister government under fire for signing the agreement on thursday most governmental websites were hijacked by the anonymous hacker group i think they are trying to mask. the promises that are certain closer to the documents. that we have. the right for our own interpretation of looking but that's not possible knows a lot from our government technically active should be a good thing protecting intellectual property ranging from music to design your

bags but the global online community fears corporations will use it to police the web and take regular users offline for harmless internet behavior it certainly has a striking resemblance to the much debated sopa bill in 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 they are not. making racial groups and in some countries it needs to be ratified by parliament but not in every country so we have another. source 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 actor ash a raid then came the twitter twist the micro-blogging site saying it can now censor tweets country by country pride is active protests in. war so we're expected to

gather up to forty thousand people but a sudden big freeze kept many away nevertheless the indians to rally for several more weeks hoping to urge war soldiers ruling circles to take a step back doing to one other e.u. member states along with poland signed 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 limits which certainly leaves the possibility of more protests everywhere across the european continent so let's. see reporting from poland. well as our correspondent mentioned the microblogging from twitter isn't enough over censorship scandal of its own we've got more analysis on that on our website r.t. dot com including one suggestion that the move will ultimately backfire on governments. said they make it very clear to their users your government is censoring you and i think that will be a huge step in pressuring both people to share the stuff that was censored put also
