in elements as he at the water, the at and fire on a hook has the is unique because it's described as the land, the following. you've elements. why? well, let's start with good meaning mountains and landscapes on soft comcast. the indigenous population of coke as here. cool. themselves the children of the mountains, so it's a very old local police for the as well. dosh now what? uh we have a huge roof i. e n a c which you'll title as soon as the streams and hundreds of lakes. i see it is a house as it is covered with snow in winter, and it melts on the day of the spring at twin oaks senior autumn, the june policy was e, are feeling the streams that the fire comcast sherman's worship fi. it's present in electric tools and legends. vanya and air is unique in hawk has the built in talk about the great spirit. and this guy of the great spirit of act, which is supposed to rain over. how has the,

the 1st element is unique to this place we talking here about the special historical and cultural heritage such as the menus, wilks', pet, true cliffs, one of a coined scope to his exact truck. and that's why, how has the it is known as the land of 5 elements. let me just see, you mentioned the any say here, the world's 5th largest. we have lots of interesting facts. can you tell me about that? no. the units say is the main route to way of co cause the flows through the whole republic expanding over 4000 kilometers is the longest river in the world to give you some perspective. it's 110th of the lens of the equate to which is an immense distance every year to live is a foot 650 kilometer cube of move that into the ocean. that is a loss of water. just imagine a cube, a 4th, a with each side,

measuring one kilometer. and here we're talking about $650.00 of such cubes. we can talk about begin to say it's very beautiful for sauces of costs. you can see it here. and how does this ducks very along the length, the release of the n, a se varies greatly, and this reflects krakowski. a self depth of the width of varies from just a few meters, in some places up to 70 meters in of us. it's the result of tectonic events in this area. it created very uneven terrain and late to begin this phase, which has filled these cos. it's very diverse for such a large river must be home, some unique floor and phone, a little wildlife lives in the gonna say and all these banks. now the river originates into and goes all the way to the oxy, goshen, which means it's a home twin. astounding variety of fluoride and fullness report flows through

different habitats, ranging from alpine meadows. at the source, down to the coal choose of the arctic ocean. it crosses tundra tiger foothill steps, and all kinds of other landscape. understandably, very different species of wildlife are to be found in or near the roof. on the upper course of the, in a say runs through the habitat of the snow rapids and extreme the red animal. while pull up as a room, the expenses and the rates most a lot of diversity, the phone of the refund itself is similarly rich. we have for a fish species, he like land or siberian time and as well as move wide spread, ones like a cru see in comp, coleman caught a high, etc. i just want to ask you, i've heard that the innocent has been called the musta or the father is that

because of the, the critical role that he plays in the culture and the ecosystem here gets to and people call it fall, begin to say for a reason, right, it's the main which way of our region and the source of inspiration for a huge number of legends. some of these tell the story if it's all right and the city will be in a safe boot to be the son of the 2 rivers. the hawks and the be kim, the mother and father of a, the son was very playful and stubborn, but they cherished time and lovingly cool tim line s. c, which is the yes and can name for the in a say your name on the origin of its present name on it would often floods the surrounding areas its level kept going up and down. but eventually he grew up and also when his parents leave to go away, they let him go and again and so he left his dea, a child at home and wounded all the way to the arctic ocean. but another tailor by the n a say is very romantic and beautiful. it includes some of brushes, best known natural gems, such as by count on the on gar river. you see, like mike,

how all the greatest slaves do you suppose to have had many sons over $360.00? how many streams flow into it? and only one per teen daughter young gara. i do not get a seat kept to locked out, never show to anyone, and hope that she would marry that we could to live nearby them. however, the legend has it that she heard rumors spread by c goes on. may the merchant sailing as by about have simeon to say, he was supposed to be a really fine fellow, so she fell in love with him and decided to marry him against her fault, as well as a p. don't it towards him by call go mad and through a huge role being garbo, this walk is still known as sherman walked about, like how want you to block a passage. but the young guard insisted on having things her way. or you can reach, be in a say,

and the officer will see the vienna say is to, to meet the force of nature, but that hasn't stopped engineers here and see minutes with this. so you all know shoshanna sky, hydro electric, them to find out exactly how the money is to harness the power of this mighty siberian river. the the alex, a nice to meet, you know, such as well. it's an impressive view. this is what so unique about the center solution sky, hydro electric down the street. and then you can see it's really a unique structure which was considered to be a feet of soviet hydro engineering. and it's great to me. nobody had ever built an arch across such

a wide canyon before to let you know what you meant to them as 242 meters high. or do i mean for the sites the longest onto them in the well, i think it's, it's on there, which is the length of its crest is more than a kilometer on it. so let me get that over to them. this high creates a water pressure of 200 meters. can you imagine that the water at the other side of them is roughly at the level of the bottom of those big glasses? how much concrete did you use to build such an impressive structure? 9000000 cubic meters of concrete was used to build the damage on 9000000. and how can you imagine $9000000.00 of those to give you an idea that the amount of concrete would be enough to build a 2 lane highway for a must go to that. if i stuck into what you will still and even for a narrow post of the moon could only amazing, amazing. and how did you even go about starting to build this dom did you have to block the unit? say 1st. this is unit say, is truly a magnificent driven,

moving 7000 sometimes up to 9000 cubic meters of water per 2nd in some. yes. and would know so many are they managed to harness it though this year, and this is how they did it was they built a temporary dime of us and rocks across the river. there's middle school and then over there under the 1st 2 letters of the world where the spillway is now installed, released gates, which have been closed since then. then a time was chosen when the industry was at its lowest point where we could build these up periods when it gets the least amount of water from its tributaries event they, we rooted its flow through those gates. that's blocking the gonna say anything like a full quickly completing the them. know they can stay on the solution is kind of hard to relate to dummies. also in a dentist bulk of world records as being the strongest structure of its type, well gives it such strength because i've mentioned would require 9000000 cubic meters of concrete to build up what she was doing by so much. but the most, the actually this an area of strong seismic activity in us,

we do get us quakes here. although we haven't had one in quite a while with the cuts and such as a rule. they originate in 2 of the, well i'm, i'm go leo, but they can reach your area or as well. so you have an extremely wide canyon and seismic activity and see what but it was too tempting to build a dime here because the unit, so you have such a high flow rate grams can provide enough water pressure to 1010 turbines. you could have the biggest in russia, in the, for each of them generate $640.00 megawatts, which means that each of these tub buttons, or hydro units can preferred use as much electricity as a relatively large standalone hydro electric power plant. there are 10 of them here with why is it so strong? but it contains a lot of concrete when the structure was made extremely durable to for the sweat of seismic activity. according to the specifications, it should be able to withstand a magnitude 8 quake. and the covering of right underneath it. nevertheless, all they say back in 2009 the, there was a disaster. and most of the 70 people died. what caused this disaster and what

lessons have you learned from it to prevent it from happening again? the subjects in the both securing the color of one of the turbines broken down the road to shut up into the machinery hole. we get the nobody had ever thought that was possible for them. it was a huge lesson. no 70 for all of us. would also have a hydro engineers around the world when your input and conclusions have been drawn from the incident and the sale and associates go hydro electric power station has been extensively modernized since then. the hydro units are being replaced with more modern and safer. once we use the not just restored when you're sitting in a multi level safety system is being added, which provides for all imaginable contingencies given was the sheet. so if something happened, it'll kick in automatically. so if one system fails from another will be activated to get lost of that modernization. and so you all know, so shantika is probably the most modern and the safest hydro electric power station in the world. that's good to know, standing here. and finally,

i look say what impacts has such a big dumb out on the surrounding ecosystem? here basically, architects of the sale know, solutions go hydro electric power station were aware of environmental concerns for them. and the nature was f was created here to address those. when he was a monitor is the environmental situation. analyze is the impact of the damn and the reservoir on ecosystems. annual studies show that it was owned, as well as it's still another important thing to note is that the water and going through this loose gates comes from the at the bottom of the rest of law. but we from the other side of the damn, not from the surface. so it's wilner in winter, 3 times colder. and some of that is one of the water in the unit se stays at about 10 degrees celsius solely around without unless which means the dam helps to stabilize the micro cloud, better must be making, winter's walnut, and some us so cool on us. a few things to will know winter's we can now grow apples as a breakout sunday from grapes suitable for winemaking around here. they sit in siberia and you know, so it's harsh climate. it's always to be, well,

i'd like to try that twine the every client has its own sacred mountain. so we've come to the best mountain range and the some of the key was to find out what customs and beliefs the people they have a role the mountains play in their lives. the actual how did these hills form the so usually don't feel like waves from the it was some to is believe the man made well that these john canyons are you a landing spot? all the tracks of john dynamos, of course, knows the range of some new key consists of 5 hills, which you can see over the backend of devonian period 370000000 years ago. they

were pushed on by taking tony movement. this is how the cross is split, which is why the soon dokie rice smoothly on one side, a have a sharp drop on the other that completely natural phenomenon. and the name single key meaning chests. also unusual why they called just, well we have slip of some of the if you look at the top of the 1st one, do come with a good job with a hill live walking on. its shape resembles a chest so far the top layers wise water, while the rest of the wrong is read. it just has to be. that's why they became popularly known as the single key. as long as the hawk us name is on low cost, which means sites on slicing devices or dimensions, that's a reflection of the sd. and on the glass space of this sacred side, i'm talking about the 1st some book of some i've heard the legend about it. that's when the world was covered in oceans. there's a mr. this was the 1st mountain to rise out of it. what can you tell me about that?

the midst of the sacred mountain is universal, done in cultures all around the world. every civilization has its own sacred mountain. and some of the most famous thing to the limp is for the greeks near marrow for the chinese bear, as i see for the persians, an around. so the medians, and even the egyptian and nastic pyramids of attempts to replicate the concept of a mountain. in this region, starting from the 3rd millennium b, c, the 1st one to consider the world's mountain. it was a place of great significance accessible. and we need to increase encourage you who performed rituals here for over 3000 years. as you travel 3 to 400 kilometers away, other civilizations identified new world mountains. but for those so lived here, the sony duke remained central on this site found on the 1st one to the own ritualistic in nature. these include various ceramic vessels with several assembled sky level tunes, ones and broken arrow heads as all discarded for the sacrifices and offerings to

the son. it is without doubt essentially, what can we take a closer look up to him. okay, excellent. now some believe that this is one of if not the oldest open observatory in the world, how did people back then use this formation to look at the sky, a sewing machine in a single car inside and there are numerous ok, logical size with no 16 kilometers a radius of the sun do a mountain that a close, they tied to astronomy and all the sports, the significant saving the people, the people called holes in the rugs from your place, slabs that specific and goes for a new range stones to line with the sun and having the course they did this to observe an owner of the sun as part of a widespread, something called that cause the sun call. it was not unique to this region here is existed across the world was supposed to be in your book, just as the most well known son worship took place in egypt and it was practice

here in much the same way with the priests involved this time profound meaning has been credited, this is why we think the purpose was to join a witness and greet the son, cut off from book. that's why these places often referred to as observatories. thing is taking a look around nearly every mountain in this area as monuments in some way related to astronomy, owing to the 1st under where we stand. now, what was the last of the morning? this was the world mountain, little person with the same tree, the dwelling place of the gods god, where the sun and moon touched the you can ski, actually, it wasn't immensely important to connect the equipment to list state some of it. so in sync would side for the people of that time, this guy that was the end of the just like many cultures across the globe and everything was deeply connected to astronomy. you missed the senior senior, i'm against that. so there are places like this rating, this one over the well, and one associate about this one here isn't, was one of the oldest sites of its kind, a thing bank to 3000

b c. the street that when it was an active site of worship that go under amazing and roll, does this some do playing the lives of people these days a lot today? this area is a known as clock cost. yeah. so this though, it could be this area was populated by indo european this until the 2nd century, a d. i went to a few people to co locksmith and that's how it costs. yeah. came to be quick question here once today we also have some others who perform the annual rituals here to celebrate the summer solstice. and what, which is the, is going to celebration because the sun is high and the day is long. people have been considering this a special day of worship of the celebration since pretty historic times of school. so today, summit has continued to make offerings to the spirits, and of this tradition is thousands of years old. i thought i was in this particular place because being alive that's 5000 years, the

only relatively miles climbs of the industry in the south of the region. we've now come to a rather chile and drizzly, but no less during the school the in the nor do about to embark on an expedition deep into the heck us mounts the. let's just say you, we've us lift off road vehicle and we settle on thoughts into the mountain. so front costs. yep. i'm here with our guides. you've denny, and he's been telling me some interesting thoughts about these parts that we didn't start a gold rush day in early 18, hundreds. earlier in the famous one in california on the name of the settlements police from lawyer just folding down things, you'll get a, a comes from the russian woods priest, which means mine no, there's no much gold left to these days unfortunately. but that's not to say that

there are some treasures to be found here. now i've been checking for a couple of hours or so, but i can definitely say it's was, it looks about storing the, the if jenny, this place isn't exactly the easiest to get to. are there any funds to, to make it more accessible to people? oh, that's spelled the countryside here and you know, if the, if i agree with you that building a wooden plank trail here would contradict the very idea of coming to this place to enjoying a checkerboard and how i can the mountains as opposed to walking on paved walk ways or this has been building a proper road to access this place. would be a great improvement. and if i feel comfortable and progressive now it's been a while since we've seen in the houses. and i don't think we've actually seen anyone else on our way here. it's not even most well so wild life. is there any spots there? it's like a city paul camella here we have lives instead of square rows. we give them names. if there is a bad cold dosher, we treat tubs, and then mol show with a to comes up in a tree, even visits. dog show,

we saw him today. it would be no brownback called your would also comes volume. yeah. then the raise, the range, the come for these odd is they migrate, so gimme a call you then we'll see you then fairly soon. it also has also a side view and l showed up the season. luckily, we also get the links and both of the readings to plus fox is very common. so you think we might see them today? yeah, so it's quite possible i hope so. and with i, one of the yvonne of scale lakes here is this fantastic emerald color. why is it so probably like this? i yeah, only believe that the color is defined by the minerals contained in the lake, but there is gold and silver in the mineral compositional dislike the crosby's mountains. you will find lakes of a different color from the deep blue. that's due to a different chemical formula with uh, but i think this color is quite typical for lakes in the mountains. no, this isn't the suggestion of guinea, but the people swim in these lakes the yes they do. they also dive as well as when

you've got people come here to train for a swimming competition on lake by called was they often turn up in morning before a day of practice and leaving the evening. you nice know, it obviously had the tail end of the summer, but this place is better known among ski is an snowboard is. so it's a windsor what makes it so special for those sports. i felt that those you are exactly right in the snow. you'll find here is you need more of the for the is there is a nell pine scheme area where this note is very dense. but there are also places with power, soft snow. like in japan, the piece may you, the people who know they sleep to see quick like to get help us more than can only den, choose the mountains to ski on to put them depending on the conditions each day to out. so yeah, because i've had this place has been compared to the fairy tale, the 12 months. do you think that's a fair comparison? you can only thing. that's the reason i ended up staying in this place. even though

originally i really came here for a day when you go out in the mountains, usually truly get to experience all 4 seasons in a single day from a snowy winter to spring and then to a hot summer. amazing. are you getting you with arrived here and they also late on i see the still some, some ice on the mountain side does not completely melt evening soma. there is a reason why he doesn't know to them. as we go up the mountain, we may encounter a tundra zone and then a glacial zone. that's reason number one. reason number 2 is where we are a little bit closer to the northern latitude, even though it is cold, the south are increasing. number 3, the slopes here on ne, facing, they're also quite steep. so at the end of the station and that explains that. i see miracle. you see this is squared away. that's why we've got to l pine ice. even . it's a relatively low altitude virus that the nissan save for beauty is the only place on the, if you with this know, doesn't know at this low altitude people are in

a sense that's true. and if i saw this in the summer, one of the conditions like here in the winter, i winter is the crumbling jewel of the mountains. this place gets covered with an enormous amount of snow, very soft snow. in fact, there are these huge, overhanging ledges you can ski on them or jump all to them. but just like when you were a kid also like gets completely covered in winter. the ice is relatively same, but the layer of snow on top of it is massive, literally 10 meters of snow. that's up and that's considered normal here. the place where we all know everything gets covered with fresh snow during the winter. snow forms here, mostly due to the wind, dragging it across and it comes from the south from the east, accessed snow from the mountains old accumulates here. as for the mountains themselves, they get the snow from the west and from the northwest. i think we should come back here and the wind set to see what it's like then. absolutely, this is a place you simply have to seeing the winter. so if we came back in windsor,

you have guinea. where would we ski? down the mountain side. that's easy, we can calling by ourselves with a group that started from this i was on the mountain, didn't make a jump from one of the legislative onto this load. and finally have a nice lunch down here on the lake. you make it sounds so easy, but i'm still a beginner. i know it may seem like something only pros can do, but it's actually surprisingly easy. okay, so i guess we'll find out in a couple of months time then great, thanks. have a good the

the the,

the russian states never is as tight as one of the most sense community. not getting hold of all sense and up the speed. the one else holes. question about this, even though we will van in the european union

the kremlin, the machine, the state on process to day and supports the r t spoke neck. even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube tv services. the question, did you say even closer to the look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings accept. we're such orders at conflict with the 1st law show your live anticipation. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to trace a truck or rather than see it a job with artificial intelligence,

we have somebody in the team and the robot must protect this phone. existence was on the same wrong. just don't you have to shape out the application and engagement because the trail when so many find themselves will support. we choose to look so common ground the on the on the see the silver. so the somebody how can it be that um the ship to the middle east from

a country whose top officials constantly complain about shortages of munitions and military equipments. literally located in the booth but of boston. no. the one uses demons below came along the nominal facility or some of those other slash we, i'm about to the easiest to, to not know. so let us know we and we'll have an easy somebody remember, bubble sold will not be so kind. and now why are weapons from ukraine spreading over the world? to turn this country into a major arms hub, will continue to bolster ukraine's and forces by rushing them a capabilities that they need to defend their country. the everyone knows very well that we don't sell but known as pineapples or any kind of children's toys. we sell women. yes, we're also known in the world as homes dealers that we must not be ashamed of that the, to the

chaos groups syria with at least 6 people were part of they killed by us back to the syrian democratic forces using live ammunition to disperse, proud as demonstrating in support of the h t. s ruling militants. the us roles out the red carpet for terrace now in control of syria. and we look at exactly how washington sponsored groups helped to bring about their room. also a israel's attorney general refuses to investigate the death of 2 imprison depaula citizens undergoing interrogations. this as for people die in the countries internal intelligence agencies custody.
