see grain deal concerns that were totally dismissed by the west, i think didn't even exist. but now the u. s. is pretty much admitting to using it as an actual strategy against russian oil. and finally, this news, or the russian defense minister surrogate showed good on the north korean leader kim jong and i'll discuss strengthening their country's cooperation. the parent mentioned pee on young this week. the main topic on the agenda was further development of strategic and tactical partnership. the russian defense minister's visit coincided with celebrations to mark the 70 of anniversary of what your 3, called the victory day following the korean war. kim john, welcome, the russian military delegation with the reception and showcase the countries latest and the 3 hardware to pay to the vacation performed by 10 katie i give is, i know she asked me to or i time next for a for today, please visit to the inland visions team find out which part of russia the world's

biggest country, jones, phoenix during this number on, after the shortest operating space is the most afraid of robert f. kennedy junior. well, apparently everyone in the political establishment and mainstream media is very much like donald trump. he says, what he thinks liberal society is be dead for a junior is fear, because the spirit of high acceptance and i'm here to played with you. whatever you do,

do not watch my new shells. seriously. why watch something that's so different whitelisted opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please. i do have the state department to see i a weapons makers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead, change and whatever you do. don't want my show stay main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching time. but again, it's not. we don't want to watch it because it might just change the way you the the, as the cities grow and land is developed, a problem is presented. how do we protect our nature and the unique animals that live here? this is the caucuses nature reserve where they are cultivating an innovative

program to re release leopards into the wild. i'm john thomas, vision and visions. and today we're on the mountains of process probably on the caucus is nature reserve. it is one of the kind with, it's a huge territory in diverse and wildlife. sort of get shipped a lot. is the director here. he has spent his life through the force of the reserves. it's his likes work and he's with us today to show us what it's all about the okay, thank you for meeting out here. it's going to be interesting to learn what you do. so 1st, let's start off. tell me, you've been doing this job for a long time as a park ranger. tell me how you got into this job and what exactly do you do? the kinds of ways and this result for 40 years and i've been in the mountains since i 1016. i pointed towards them taking torres through the nature reserve, the specialized the mountain tourism. yeah, i climbed mount elder. a city of i'm old about the mountains. it's my was as far as

the range of them for years and i studied while i became a 1st engineer. so i been through one level, it's up to the director. so which is uh, what's interesting is that on the 21st direct a $9.00 to $9.00. yeah. and i've been in this position for 20 years with my previous as to what? 15 years. so the, every student to be of the 19 directors before that was 2 or 3 years already. a bunch of work here is very difficult because the territory, everybody's really big. they thought about it right now. we're number one in the country in terms of visitors. but we don't net torres go deep into sign the result . what's what we did is create recreational facilities around the perimeter. there's by 6100000 people visited the nature of the last year around the perimeter, japan and know that 400000 spent time near the result. just so practically, no damage was done. so now you tell me a little bit about the dangers of your job. and if you have any source to share, no in 2017, we mounted 100 years of the nature reserve system. then there's 100 years since the

system was created. 103 major reserves have been created more than 57 people have died across the whole country. the 16 of them in the corpse is nature's. that's 30 percent. plus that has a very big number of these people were killed by poachers or drowned stream crossings. i'll go to potentially full weight on duty for 16 people that some load up. so i consider all what quite dangerous spell if the emails i put up when i became direct to it and it was a lot of poaching, mostly outside the nature reserve limits. so that was actually sees very few guns in the reserves because mainly working around the perimeter that you have. how can i move people down to engage an antique page and campaigns? a tip both decided to tell you there's no poaching in the nature as a down payment. now they only purchase a torres to catch a snake by micro baker red list. plants catch a caterpillar or some wag tail, but can you have that little side poaching? what's pretty easy if you take your news away from the forest on the west coast damaged with working just on that. now, this place is really big. about 280000 hectares. how do you protect such

a vast area from people and from whom are you protecting the area? i've seen you through a 16 range of stations around the perimeter, ultimate to reserve. i be the whole lives that will be around $3.00 to $4.00 families at one location, goes to best buy a home in the mountains. the natures that i misplaced into ranges with what we have 48 ranges here, supervised by 48 range general. each of them responsible for one area on your phone with website in general, talking about control and protection. you have good communication, safety, but there are no roads in the nature reserve of them. you can't get a and here by congress will kindly hike or take a holes. i will say, well, no, it's not easy to protect and then it does have its advantages. now sir. yeah, i understand that there's a place a little bit higher that you want to take us to. let's go to the outline, mentors now. the now we know don't far from us right now. there is a beer,

as you pointed out. what other kind of interesting animals are here in the reserve . those that make of the richmond. there is huge animal diversity here. the european by some debt to sham law, jackal basket, nice folks wild boar. and so i want to go to the snakes. yeah, we've all seen the 100 kind of a history of the coke says nature assessment, assist you with was created specifically to preserve the population of the european vice. and they also have the 1st one was course in the courses in $1856.00, that's the thing handled wasn't no impact. and so they took it to the st. petersburg academy of sciences. the way it was done don't by this word means why? so in translation, but a fucking each kick up the law spice and respond to it in the coax. is a 1927. well that's what they said in 1976, the fuel blended european bison nick named camp kaz is what was found in germany. i'm returned to rush up for them, but they wouldn't know female animals be sugar. so 9 female bison were taken from a nature reserve in ukraine to create to population here. what could appreciate

that spread? especially as today, we have 1200 european bystanders. so we managed to present this species. eco tourism is becoming more and more popular here with crowds of tourists, adding it to the reserve, which restorative of the season. how do you make sure everyone's safe? how do you keep people from encroaching into the territories that are supposed to be home to some of the worlds of careers patients? olga is the deputy director of the congress is nature reserve, and she's with us today to provide some perspective. olga hello. hello. thank you for meeting me out here to help us understand this beautiful place . can animals and humans actually co exist or will humans always be a threat? is there a way to strike a balance? i know it's important to remember. oh, that's a very complicated question because animals are always put under stress and the presence of humans. but i mean, troy, we seen the nature reserve that people don't know how to interact with wild animals

as people are either very afraid of them or become aggressive. or we see in local settlements that people pay little attention to their garbage, attracting wild animals, even though the but this change is the animal's behavior, and they become more aggressive. they're the story. they don't behave like they would in the wilds from someone. because the 1st question, taurus ask when they come to the nature reserve is if we have bears here i was and can we say yes, we do better than they ask? and what should we do? because we want to hike along this route and you have bears all around that, and we keep explaining to people that wild animals are normal and healthy. and if their habitats and behavior are not influenced by humans, i turn they will never attack a torres, a person who is just walking by the door. the scariest animals in the mountains are probably human, some selves, because they don't know how to behave properly. we're only starting to develop eco tourism, helping people learn more about nature and how to preserve it. now nature reserves

like this needs space and it seems to me that there's always going to be people building and infringing on that space. for example, hotels and tourist areas. is that a problem and how do you combat that? that this test probably it has become a problem because hotels and resorts have advanced practically up to the reserves boundaries. and the biggest issue is that we don't have the opportunity to educate taurus, to make sure that they know there's a nature reserve nearby that they should and play loud music or leave garbage and tell them to only walk along the trails. in certain areas, we simply can't manage it. there's a lot of people and the resorts don't adequately inform their guess about their surroundings. and of course this impacts on the animals causing them to move deeper into the nature reserve. if i, if this continues to nature reserve will wind up being like an island dress and then the chance of preserving wild life here for another 100 or 200 years will be diminished when so. but also now our director and colleagues are saying that it's

important to create green core doors between nature reserves to leave space that's not occupied by people, roads, or resorts. so that animals can move freely and these different species cross paths that's convenient for you and you can move kind of an extreme answer. is it possible just to lock the area off and keep people out completely? uh, we're in the fifties and sixties. and even when nature reserves were just being set up at the beginning of the previous century, there was the idea of turning them into sanctuaries, ups and close off the area prevents people from coming in to go stick to science and preserve the animal's swords enough. but it didn't stand up to criticism because when people don't know what's happening on a certain territory, they become hostile towards it. and so that hinders preserving everything 5, we've opened to less than 3 percent of our territory to visitors. that's almost 400 kilometers of trails that people can hike on board and they have the opportunity to

see all the climatic zones. look at the mountains. forest is the highest points and glaciers. when people see the alpine meadows in bloom, the color is changing. every 2 weeks and they are inspired by this, they begin to love this and become our assistance in preserving nature. but if we lock up, if we're going to lose these people, we're, so here finding this balance is very important for you mentioned that there are different routes that tourists can take, but tourist and people in general can let's say be a little bit stupid. sometimes they try and go around the paths and find their own ways. um, are you finding yourself in the position to have to go and rescue these tours sometime tonight and then grab we're good. yeah, sometimes we save these tours because most of the tragic or dramatic situations in the nature reserve or occur when people leave the trails. don't follow the rules that say, well, we shouldn't have the 3rd. but thankfully, in the last few years, there have been few extreme situations and we generally manage to find people and

have a talk with them again. i believe people aren't stupid or intent to violate the rules or the main reason this usually happens is because they don't know why they can't do certain things so that they would when you explain it, they are motivated not to do this anymore. so definitely what's the price? you mentioned that people don't have the proper or not. they don't always have the proper information. i've heard you wants to talk about a story of the bear coming in to attend. because the bad one of the chocolate bar and the people didn't know to keep their food separate. do you have any other stores like that die of i the we had the story repeat 2 years ago last year. there are several places in the nature reserve that are very popular with torres, and so we need to get these are also places where bears traditionally live and they're young bears that aren't as smart as the older ones. and they don't know, it's not a good idea to approach people who tend to like teenagers. they're curious and it's not. these bears come to tours camping spots and naturally are attracted to the

smell of food. and we inform torres that they need to store food away from where they sleep, but hang them on a tree or put them in some kind of clothes space at the camping site. if there is one step. but incidents still happen. one happened 2 years ago when a girl had 2 chocolate bars in her backpack and a young there came and of course, she only took the backpack she carried it off. we found not far from the camp site, so that these things happen. but it's not the bear's fault what version leverage of what so long as this area sun showing human scale saved from the brink of extinction. the persian leopard is now slowly but steadily returning to the place that is its rightful home. so there are only about a 1000 persian leopards left in the world. how many of them are here and this reserved. when was the last time a persian langford was spotted here? the world was in 1984 and then after that they disappeared. what's up it is it got

screwed up in 2000 nights. elected reintroduction program was launched in with the issue today. we have, i mean, 3 language in the nature reserve or but what the main problem we have is that the elaborate steps stay here with that they leave the resumes boundaries at the bow as a lot of snow had and they left bits and not back go to a hunting big problem upside, they moved to places inhabited by records. i saw jackals badges and small rodents, but no. and that's what they monitor them using won't live camera trap, which they will pay right now, way a shuttle to release the female liquid into the wall. and they'll give us a we decided to put her outside the recess. i to the 3 males and that, but it's already live. it seems to me, it's all about balance. and what i mean is there was a time when the leopards were not in this region and reintroducing them to the region is also kind of changing the way the nature works. is this an intrusion into nature as well? or are you worried about that type of intrusion issue at this point? 9 times it gets an intrusion. the below wind up with there is

a very high density of animal populations here. so 30 and we have 1800 depth of 2000 says and 1300 sure. well a number of places and shows and where we wouldn't disrupt the animal planet as a separate. but what's of the size of the lamp is now live outside the nature is that it is because i said mainly feeding on small rodents. how does the process work when you reintroduce a leopard or any animal back into the wild? how do you know where to let them go? how do you know if they're ready to be released? that's interesting to me know, and those go comes edifices. we have a scientific debate in math and nature. reserve team including 7, ph. d 's and 2 professors. and when we have a breeding station located in the saw the national box before the animals that kept getting close at all possible and then lives there for 2 years while we train them for the wild as if it were up to 2 years, they released into the nature of the we chose the best suited places, but i did of course of a good areas with little snow and high animal density things up. i didn't last time we released the language right in the center of the nature is of the other way. so,

you know, we've changed our plan, the following recommendations from us science division. so we do, we keep monitoring the price. i sold it around and it's a spattering monitoring missions every moment. they using camera traps to small places with more animals with what so they see that we can to release the liquids outside. there is a one of the most impressive programs here in the nature reserve, the introduction of the person leopard. and hopefully we'll get to meet some of which residents, nickel, i'm for on and because of the head of the center. and he will show us around nikolai, thanks for giving us the opportunity to come here to your office and experience this leopard firsthand. um, everyone in the entire world is looking at this specific reserve and what you're doing here. what makes your program so unique when you've got a nice price cuz it protects a photo store. what makes all products you unique is that no one else has been able to make as much progress in ring for choosing lodge privatized into the natural

habitat per semester. nobody knew that i shouldn't have been some attempts. tories told the population of lines in africa, but the problem was that those lines, once they were reintroduced into the wild wood, usually died. it was kaiser. what's next? i probably will bring it back. we on the other hand, have been able to breathe new let pods from adult wild animals and all center will change. but then we're raised them in a way to make them prepared to send volume out in the wild on their own this test. and they said, and then we released house task and ration of that pause in 2016 and they have been able to survive on the and the same thing that was best one kid shipment is that they avoid meeting people, blah, blah. and despite the fact that the coal cause is densely populated, which and seeing all that pause do not come to households to prey on domesticated animals. for anybody who included homestead, full, they hunt into the wild video. and even though it gets really hot in winter when snow can be up to one me to think. and instead of being on the less the steel capable of adapting. and that's

a very important component of the survival in the while. and i assure you we're going after me. it seems to me that it takes a lot of area to be able to do what you do. can you give me an idea of the, the size of this place to scope at the sound like loudly of a process? that's actually the most important question is our boss. who is to say the most important thing, you know, walk is infrastructure and what i would do without it. we won't be able to prepare the animals effectively for survival in the wild here. and those are in our territory is currently being 12 hectares. and we have a number of sectors dedicated to different functions such as we have a headquarters and the way we can control all the processes remotely. and i from, from that, as you can see, all animals sectors are equipped with the video cameras. and we can remotely do things like open the gauge for the lat. pause to go through, paid them, and also remotely, with accumulated enough experience to be able to control them. hunting lodge moved animals remotely above the desk and have hunting sectors of this in west point,

shaving their webs of everything by surveillance cameras. if we can make adjustments whenever necessary and the training program for each individual the pod . if i may ask, where do your leopards come from at the border? fortunately, this is another very important issue. it's coach. it's actually one of the key things because in order to phone, when you population in the wild, hopefully we need to release specimens. i'm with different genetic background successors that could as and so one important thing we do here is try to obtain as many new mothers, what is news? but on, despite the fact that some of the parents turning most off from sues, the baby lab thoughts have all the necessary instincts for survival in the wild look. and our job here is to help them develop those instincts that is close to the nice thing. well, that's the main job here at this center. we still onto officially stimulate natural instincts. fairly soon. we're not inventing anything new here. we simply create conditions for these pride. it has to be able to follow the instincts and succeed

just for the nice to know the animals that come from the zoo parks. this is themselves. they can't be released into the wild. can they? because they're already spoiled for that kind of life. absolutely. yeah. yeah, you're absolutely wrong. i had a case one of the pug, defending problems donated as a young lip on 2 years old. and they said that it had been kept separately and had no contact with people whatsoever. anyway, and i'm so presumably it was wild, i thought we had our doubts about it and ran a series of tests here to see how it would behave as well. but for you, then we found out that the animal wasn't able to hunt, wasn't afraid of people and could name correct with all the lat pods, trying his best. we spent a year training hammons for that one up soon as he finally started hunting and realized he's a lab, no the human. then you'll be able to start a mocking territory scratching, rubbing urinating, but we seem to have trouble getting him to avoid people consistently point oh, strongly every now and then he would start showing interest in humans trying to approach as much over before leaving the animals into the wild, we run

a series of very demanding tests and when we tested in for human interaction, that's when we act as a group of taurus approaching the lab pod area, but that subject lab all got excited and it came out to interact and she was like oh, finally news, there are some fun people in bright clothes. you could look those mean people and cream uniform. so he failed the task because in any my, like this and the wild, you know, the trade with the conflict and we decided to keep him for breeding. also found human might come here, but it's and we're expecting to couple to have new cups very soon a of the processes that are taking place at our facility or from the moment, the tubs of bone till they are released. how do i include in training procedures, stimulation of the social activities, etc. data all happens on the video camera surveillance. we see that behavioral corrections are required at a certain stage as to when we see that. and then i'm always afraid of humans. what we, what if it's shy of physically weak label, just slowing, prefers to wait till an animal from another little hands down at the desk. that's

when we give an animal special hunting training sessions. training a little hung down the kinds of pray that are easy to track down it and get close to that, which is not hard to wrestle down. and he's got a for example, that won't boys a powerful animal as low as long as we showed flags. and a short neck, well, wrestling down and did, for example, it takes a lot part about 2 minutes long, getting down and bold can take up to 30 or 40 minutes 20 feet and it's the kind of sickness. the tons, 2 year old tubs, into real beasts. vehicle ready to take home any mountain into call cause is so nick, like we know that the leopards are safe here in this environment. but, but does this kind of give them a safe sense of security because when they're released into the wild, will they be safe out there of this large company? much so it's important to realize that the main danger to that pause into was, comes from us humans. in any event. it's a fact that is not related to natural processes, both fucked up. for example,

in the wild. and it's perfectly normal that a predator can dive in another lounge while i'm even in it's out the looking for something to novel, orange goes down, the animal don't always look like it's normal and it can happen to any being with it. let me know if i get what you meant. related factors, however, who are regulated and our job here is on efforts aimed and developing the reflex we act of avoiding humans. nicolai's been incredibly fascinating in to learn what you do, but also to watch what these leopards do. thank you very much. 6th period. the julia, thank you for bringing me here to this control center where you can really see all of the leopards out in the reserve. as i've heard these leopards take exams. so what kind of exams do they take? how can a leopard take a test? all the animals set from wild release are supposed to pass at has that allows us to

be sure that the animal can live in the wilds water that examines the attitude towards humans and to any lives logs that can be sorted by humans as more than this will be 2nd test is a fun time to go. we set up several funds and see how the letters attach their praise god, a 100 down. so whether they are capable of hunting a while, that all get there and how feasible it is for them in the wild. so what happens if a leopard fails and exam as it ever been the case where you haven't been able to send them out into the wilds back on years? not of course, we will not release an animal that can survive in a while. such animals stay in our center forever and are used for reading in most cases. for example, i have a guy here failed her test. i like because she was too curious for a few minutes to work with. so she stays here with us one, i understand that stuff. or if i may ask, sitting here and looking at the different leopards,

it seems to me that you'll develop a relationship with them. so what are your emotions when you see them sent into the wild as are you sad? are you happy? is it a mix of both nice justin can yes. and then of course you yes, you know like family to us. we know them. oh, we know they peculiarities like for example, in the fish and hate certain food. so we give him only the food they like we do, we vaccinate them, room them and look after their house. so there's, they're like little kids to us going. they are released in the wild. it's always an intense moment with loss of the motions. the key 1st leave, there's troy for having a cheap the result. there is a major program that greatly benefits the future of our country's environment. the besides that we become so attached to the animals that it's sad to realize that we won't be seeing them again soon. but if ever this quarter we need to what's been the reason you go to the julia. thank you very much for taking the time to show us . this is kind of cool that we get to hang out with leopards here in this

environment. some appreciate the you can argue preserving the bio diversity of our plan. it should be among our top priorities globally, and it is reassuring to know that set against this stunning scenery are beautiful people doing this important work. it is a difficult task, but a rewarding was all leading up to priceless and emotional moments like this one is returning to its proper home to the congress as mountains, the

who is the aggressor today, i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions today. russia was the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. a number that is constantly growing. but i think the switch of the senior assist click on the senior most the more in the will shift for banning all in ford. so russian oil and gas in energy suffering the price for another country. hope all's well. we're going to reset the phone service involved. the little joe biden in, imposing these sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. so there is a boomerang. so the the, the issue, the distance of the products of the

series pulling it for you and you have them by see it the split it stop you. but even the way nice. yeah, you're saying you missed us and you to see that few, those and with the installment of the image doesn't notice we are gambling with the future of all mankind and we're, we're risking it for now. the, the watching is why is why in this country, what if i give borrowed money in the store in this? this is chad and i showed order for not imagine just a last name scans. when i am, what i just a session on the finances national liam?

no, that's just shiny or just is fun. you bought a new born. you sit on what's in the, the near the, the look in the queue is yes, never go with many people in african. no the sing. if you want to go fast going alone. if you want to go far, go together. vladimir putin valve is russia will stem with a free cap to help put continental red come current crises. the president was speaking of the russia, i forget summit with day 2 of july's biggest. you political event kicking off in an hour's time. also a head on the program, no rendering ladies. government in india faces a new confidence vote in parliament or ethnic flashes and the can.
