the night said his traditional minutes tens of children in one of the most distant areas of the arctic peninsula. there's nothing many kilometers all around but a desert of snow. breeders cross the tundra with their hoods of domestic deer in search of new pastures. they'll cover hundreds of kilometers in the brig goddess of the weather. a day a breed as passport just says young miles tundra instead of a regular address with their house number and street. right here for you here i was born on this land of yours my father lived here and after a dyed i took a place. on heritage his herd my brothers and i divided between us. because two sons help him in the tundra and what the eldest and his wife in the
12:31 am
dish to have two daughters three year old alina and dario who's six young family is awaiting a new arrival. and of course would like a boy. the expectant mother has a congenital heart disorder she's due to give birth any day now and needs urgent help but here in the tundra whether or not the air ambulance arrives on time depends entirely on the weather. contact with the outside world is very limited missile has no satellite phone and has only recently acquired a mobile but as there's no signal in the chum it's it was mainly as a toy for missiles granddaughters. what had there what you'll get off you know i don't understand it or do i try to learn how to use it all but there's very girl doesn't have to. be honest for the rest while i have no idea how the use of. their community. but i need.
12:32 am
to find a mobile phone signal and you have to travel twenty or even forty kilometers through the tundra to the nearest settlement. sometimes of an eye to family has to travel deep into the tundra where there's no contact at all. they have to take a position fix regularly as a possibility that modesta will have to be taken to hospital grows stronger by the hour. mikhail sent his youngest son to relay the coordinates. so you can say at the ambulance receiving. an air ambulance missed a location because it go up on the course you know boys the river below the middle reach. but the flight to the family is because. another day breeder's wife has just given birth in another part of the month. if i didn't you tell me your surname.
12:33 am
because you don't have a mission from there you don't forget to take flashlights blankets or everything is ready to risk it you get upset trickle kid yeah it's ready. money. can you please check if you fly to get patients ok. ok all coming to you today but we also have to visit another woman who's giving ok let's go. each sortie is an intense experience now as flight costs almost four thousand dollars so taking an aircraft out to assist only one patient before returning to base is not a cost effective exercise that's why the doctors always plan the consultation with the highlights after finding out in advance who else might need their help on the way that's going to be even it will be seven we've got six so far.
12:34 am
any changes to the planned route will depend on the weather deep in the tundra it can change as often as every half hour. when we take off we can never be sure that we're coming back. with everything very carefully of course and never let ourselves given to panic. the air ambulances first stop the helicopter lands near a baby girl was born just a few hours ago. ok give me the baby girl it's a girl one twenty five over age of fish. i don't think yes that's right retailer you should question why having a fancy that is good it will give you an injection of a helicopter and you won't know who got so much trinity how mchale's look at
12:35 am
western culture and get it here here and you put her on the bank of. the lawyers for women as true keepers you tundras hard if you look at what if she's able to work she will regardless of the pain. if. you like us europeans who have local doctors they have no one to turn to for help in the tundra and so they wait like that poor mother over there she worked most she could . meet with they know that the air ambulance is there for them and believe the doctors and nurses will always come if they hope we will be able to help them and that infomercial mood. it's not uncommon for the air ambulance doctors to deliver babies on board the helicopter. mood to. normal people that once a woman called us because she had
12:36 am
a fever. and were approaching she said her contractions had started it was her ninth child so i decided to take her to the base to get the medicine she needed for besides you can always do with an actual pair of hands and we were talking about him within a few minutes and as soon as we landed should give birth to the child or. whenever an air ambulance workers like to help someone it's always a noble undertaking. there are heart attack there is a pediatrician she used to work in a town hospital but quit her job after deciding that as a native new units she needed to return and be close to nature and her ancestral traditions. no matter how foggy is indigenous northern people may travel. there's always something that draws them back to their homeland. i didn't drop it. in leveling people believe it's
12:37 am
a great sin to spit the that story even drop something. in the water a fire in the. yes of the little i'm a daughter of the tundra i always roamed here in the past that every time i left i felt bad i said to myself i will go back to the tundra. people believe that energy from the earth and sky helps them survive in the tundra. pickup look at the snow it's falling a lot i'm sad but i'm young and they're going to get energy from the earth from time to time i've been do that look we always walk upright and don't get much of its energy. as i can't keep your arms race to the limit after a while you know he was like stink keep it off you know this energy can send you to say as it did. before
12:38 am
ambulances existed in the tundra the people called on shamans when they needed medical help. or two needed a night it's seldom ask the skies for help with the time only an extraordinarily patience. usually it's better to turn to your own domestic gods only yes or gonzales we everyone has and lets at home in the temple at some times when i feel bad you are killed by shaking them. and ring the bell and that's how it communicates with my own god. come on show me the fear and doubt i'm bigger name no it's the name of the daily sticking out must have been quite an axe blow back and you can move your finger.
12:39 am

12:41 am
a unique operation of. the northern sea route russia's arctic ice breakers. it is obviously more for the latest because it's pink. women wanted to avoid rape they really needed to buy guns environ how to use them i'm. sure this is the one that i want to go away from once again it's the fear factor women are definitely the target of the gun lobby and you don't kill them when you're killing money but if somebody would he would do this with her. i'm noticing more and more and that's really scary marketing tactics which implies that women have some sort of moral obligation to guns to protect their family and young girls shoot out here too so we do have a pink or. more kids young kids choke on food than are killed by firearms if
