test and it has attracted the participation of over $150.00 countries across continents, including over 20 from latin america. majority of these countries are state still staying with the b r i, and they have extended their m o use on b r. i was china, it has not only you know, for us to trade in connection between china and customer countries, but also between these countries, you have to bear in mind that the, you know, this decision by panama is only a one countries decision. the majority of the countries are still staying with b r. i and china expressed a deep request to pending much decision. but it also expressed that the b r i, as in economic cooperation, that initiative and is merely about economic cooperation is still open for other countries. to joined while pen and must pull out might be a notable moment,

but from china's perspective, it's thinks that it won't have a substantial long term effect on the b r ice gross or is global reach. to over a 140 countries and for the international organizations, a signed off to the b r i. so losing a single partner would have to find a hod financially. however, for the central american nation, it's a different story. and that is because the panama canal is one of the biggest sources of income for the country at china is the 2nd largest use of the shipping lead. in recent years, aging has also invested heavily in ports and terminals along the canal. trump previously threatened to seize the crucial trade route, claiming that the us was being unfairly charged and his team wasted no time in celebrating the news of panama city, the competing from china. throughout the transition and during his inaugural

address, president trump made it known that the united states cannot and will not allow the chinese communist party to continue with it's effective and growing control over the panama canal. following secretary reveals a successful 1st trip and visit there over the weekend, panama, as president said, he will allow its participation in the chinese communist parties. it will no longer allow the participation in the belt and road initiative that participation will expire. this is significant because panama was the 1st latin american nation to join belkin road and now becomes the 1st to back away from it because of president trump that we spoke to a pop. no one has seen a lecture. i had politics that need to national relations at the university of boss in the u. k. a. he says that the pressure on the part of my place into tom's empty china agend. these paula mall decision to which withdrawal from the family needs

a 2 piece just to beginning over law, just mobile competition between us and china. i think i now think continuation old with the 1st trump administration world. we are going to expect from the, from to point 0 a, we will see all these different a profit as the pro metix tre, economic come. this meets re intelligence that go to you is going to fax that muscle across the well. and in combination against the chinese and by negotiating and my problem pressure is uh with all these countries with the ease in the global self or in the global, in all, to i to, to cut the chinese old for, to push to turn these old and trying to retain the uh, the, the sort of time to offend page or to, to tories from this part,

the country's why stay with our team to national for all the latest. i'm around the well to see you again. some of the by not the, [000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00]

the, [000:00:00;00]

the, [000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00] the today we're going to embark on a real friendship in the south west. the republicans have come up. do you know both

color? yeah. it's amounts of the region in the courses popular among nate syllabus for it's absolutely breathtaking views. but also i'm a general in just always like stream sports. so let's get stuck in. the thing is nice to me here. this valley is absolutely breathtaking. where all we know, what makes it so unique. we arrange a unique area of the central cuz is good because angie gorge is a police range and is connecting to the highest mountain range. and the coal cause is russia and your up division. you will. it's a section of the create a coal cuz his range in nearby the russian, 6 mountains,

over 5000 meters high. people call these place amount to me is very dies the sum of increase the 3rd to a as the russian. he malloy as i suggest, we take the food vehicle and get to be closer walking around with the intake and good luck. close up. best sites. let's go the what does this thing you mean talk? he's less love. it's a point in the name of this thing. he comes from the buzz, boston or balls used to meaning icing tech and it's list level. it can be interpreted to go from as the place where the ice has retreated with. there was one sick place here. this is the true to its name visiting the has a massive concentration of all ages of the actually standing in the ancient bed of

a glacier. right? notice that one is good. this is you can see traces of glaciation all around it on the main glace it here. go to chit on all the bills in the glace yet because we're changing more than one and a half kilometers over the past 60 is killing me at the really. so it was here before? yes. when the best thing to mount any ring can pause is tablets 60 years ago. the glass here was very close as people say that kitchen goose to stole meeting. the glasses, crevices as there was no electricity. incidentally, the glacier receded and frank, but it's still the most expensive place and russian europe. amazing, or is it true that sometimes the cost this region is called the russian himalayas? the yes people call this place, the russian came a lawyers and all the less the human lies with them. because as i mentioned, i feel it's 10 to 6 mountains of,

of 5000 meters high. and the difficulty ratings go climbing roots here range from the 1st to the 6 category. this area is known as a mca, from mountain metering. it's an incredible region for decades. it has been out of the russian mountain nearing where the unique soviet tradition was presented with some of the best soviet training techniques and methods. now in hans we've modem approaches. that's why this climbing cap is considered one of the best in russia and across the region is you know, i'll show you another support in there, but there's nothing to tourist as the trolls tom. let's do it the . so this is the trolls. it even looks a bit similar to the want to know where it says the same name,

columbia coincidence. we're in the caucuses notes, scandinavia they have never been any trolls here and the whole this is an area with the long history of human settlements. and it is called up a whole um, it's one of the oldest settlements incumbent dean of all colorado taken back to the middle ages at this place is closely tied to the origins imagines and development of the bulk of people. but this very cliff, it's cold deal. let's see. i've gotten you. meaning jain, salivation old joins, rigs, according to ancient legends, joins one sleeps here known as deal with that more and again, when it was here that they would gather and this roll we're standing on. if it gets like a joins to, that's a swell name. why do that goes with this? that's a better name. i say exactly. you got the joins to stop. i like the, i'm going to call it that. yes, no trolls joins the look at the mazing conroe and what we get from up here. so it's amazing is just, but it of nature in history are inseparable here or that

a new concept pray that to because every way you look the right traces of human presence, those ancient terraces of the thousands of years. oh yeah. you can see early medieval settlements there remains of fortifications towers in fortresses scattered across the valley. it was but also it's an incredible place that strong people have for a very long time, you know, as the day winds down to come. we are wrapped in the gorgeous sunset of the visiting the wall, the main cal cation range. i think it's been a beautiful and remember a bow day if it's tomorrow. how about we head to another goal is to see new places and continue going to need for a couple of deena low calories. it sounds great to me. i've 70 words opened up

inside as well. the thing is it's called the dry lights, obvious reason. so that was the key for any like this. you won't be dry because a long window the voltage go i feel like jean with it's like torres rank old the war to hear back in the day. but in reality about this is a classic cost like this basin is the sink hole of a cost like that was once about $118.00 inches deep and filled with water. but cost is a self material. it changes quickly, even though one theory claims to water flowed into the low lake love years leaving this unique natural land behind it. you can practically see it in a cross section here, showed casing. does that cost like the last from the ancient death assertion? yeah, you can see the light is exactly. now i've been told that when there was was a head, this any or j. so on him, all the selling,

it would disappear with off the face. you know what you think about the mountains, all like that. we have to start out with sunshine, and by the time you get the thing, it's raining. you always have to be ready. it's just a travel that has to be prepared for changing weather all the rain blown. bruno mood was a legend more likely to change to the level like since that's where there's still water. but if something has someone uh to fall down here, that'd be searching for a long time to be stagnant. this boat has been attracting extreme tourism for a while. now. bungee jump as leap down here. screw up, climb us. come to practice on the kids, and i'll tell you more, i'll be coming here soon with my team of students will repel down and explore the like, boarding about this to a 9 be to deep lake below. divers has gone down to 2,

but it's not get proven, is this thing hold is isolated all connected to a non the ground water system. this lake still awaits its explore advice. well, i don't think that's going to be me. thank you. so we have default of the rain. so 1st let's go the, i've heard that this is one of the most dangerous places in the whole of cub dina ball carrier. and it's easy to see why, but a sheer drop. so the rights of those are volt volt, just behind those, a ticket. that's why this road is no longer in use. that the full day built the tunnel and this road was quite dangerous. and a lot of people were who was right to drive it. it's plenty us and you guys would get out and follow the car and foot. i don't blame them. so exactly. but police, when they built the tunnel cause top using this road of them with but it became

a tourist attraction and know every visit to the golgi because it takes us toilet with don't see that because that that is. but it's an incredibly beautiful gorge, like almost a cross sectional class. he's got a real can reach, stunning test back to his boss is a bind meadows. i think seen such beauty. is it a real treat for someone coming up from the plains? yeah, it's dangerous, but suddenly the views are with if you stay fall back from the edge. i'm what role does these boards play? local believes, traditions, legends, i've heard that there are some treasures hidden deep inside the mountains. is that true? so the great has pressure in these mountains is the people who live in almost a central to in this region and have managed to survive and to show in 2 conditions, creating a unique culture of best learning. and they continue to live here rejecting more than comfort. so you still have looked at, they could have moved to the plains, but they chose to stay here. i knew they loved this area and content mission life,

anywhere else. we have these people that truly the mountains, greatest treasure, very poetic thing, is the stainless, skinning landscape from the ground is certainly won't thing, but a better way, better up there. so we've gone to chicken goal. it's to get

a birds eye view on the power go either the the perfect way to relax after such a thrilling experience and calm down by the pool knots. now tell me what made you choose chicken gourds as a place to setup shop. here, apart from the amazing surroundings of calls, the what you move, why is this area so good for power? glad is plenty easy stuff with why is it such a perfect spot to fly right? some up on our plan you. we included in the chicken gorge, which starts at the to get more to folsom, need valente to open the account and to rise up the golgi. so you've got the most right about think he is perfectly situated to catch them unless you like. the main current flows up the gorge, creating a steady updraft of 4 to 8 meters per 2nd. that's a comfortable wind speed. just right for taking off and flying. sort of perfect

condition was somebody's beginners and experience side of those who was skilled enough to fly farther up the golgi fairly quick, even crossing from one gorge to another. so they the surroundings, the weather conditions that will make this place so popular as a part of gliding spots from what countries to people trouble here to power glides . is people traveling to this place from taki around from some gemini, from all over europe. austria is apparent, gliding mecca fronts to the quote, a gym and by left this is the only place where you actually keep going out of to take off road that in most places you just take off to reach us nell, to tutor. then you fly down looking for at currents, but here to take off go up a 150 meters from the base. but after that you keep climbing up in the. now we'll sort of challenges through the surroundings pose pilots and the view ever had any

heavy moments yourself. there was a saying among power died as a good pilot who is an old pilot professional, who when he sees that the way the conditions of the cancels the flight, the monthly look of that the pilots are flying around the mountain beacon that he had to with the foot of the mountain was about to take off to that ridge over there . can you think slope? i think the mountain has its own wind patterns without ever done any excuse me, via different slides to shade in different areas have as well as also goals. rosa areas, in the places where a cold and warm air flows mix together mutually. paragliding is the safest activity in the air as long as you follow all the safety precautions. and as long as the weather conditions are within the know of costs. and you mentioned that anyone can power glide as long as the health submits, so there are no restrictions in terms of age. let me tell you about that, but a lot of it comes down to

a weather conditions. if the wind speed is between 3 and 5 meters per 2nd, you can take a light weight passenger, say a 10 year old child from 25 to 50 kilograms to look at on. so if there's a stable breeze, no more than 8 meters per 2nd. we can take passengers of that way to or if that age is. but if the winds are strong, we take heavy passengers up to a 150 kilograms. by the way, since you mentioned age limit the just a few days ago, we set a world record much though the 104 year old man called us and got by a flint here, or the 104. he is now the oldest passenger of a power mode or what the problem is and if the flight took place right here and we've got the rankled officially registered, the next you if things go well, we want the breaks that rack or the gain of course. so there are no age restrictions as long as you're healthy,

but they're all white limits. we have. let's see if we don't take that and just below 15 to 20 kilograms, or above 130 kilograms. put in the range between 20 and a 170 there on the restrictions apart from good health. uh huh. and the desire to do is the design. yes. almost a much, some altitude one. these par guide is, can reach you, quote that the ritual distance. anyone sloan here is from this place all the way to mounts hill bus and back a little steel bus gorges next to this one. here to be the 1st right goal set here was in 2014 by pilot vitalia. they took the flow a distance of a 170 kilometers. you really got the height of 4600 meters. and what's the next record was set by a group of pilots in 2021 in very favorable conditions. we'll see a to fluid, elbows and back to let me find other rankled flights of note was to reform. go this all the way to doug. got so you know, set you up so i see it to the distance with a 140 kilometers and the pilot landed there often navigating 6 go just to make

these high altitude long distance flights. you've got to have perfect weather conditions, as long as the weather is nice and you've got an experienced title to noticed a way around the mountains. well, there's no limit to what you can do. so if i have one to 2 today where the conditions permits in a traffic control permit and i could have possibly gone to georgia, d n. c a re it is possible. carlos have provided the weather conditions, a good opinion, but you've got to do the paperwork 1st before you cross the builder. yeah, he did so, but you see a radically as long as the weather is perfect, you can do that as most. well, i've already had some amazing experiences and memories from this base. thank you

very much. not at the time you left. i've heard this lake is as deep as the eiffel tower is toll. it's quite hard to imagine from where we're sitting at this moment. how far down does it really go? as of today, the lake has a depth of 279 meters. used to be even deeper when it's studied by georgian scientists and back to them. it was 360 meters seem pretty specific. a full tower, slightly higher columns. and why did the depth of the lake change the most easiest? most likely this has to do with erosion of the lake walls. the rock is very soft here. this is of course lake. the limestone is being road and by the water crumbling down onto the bed rocky. it is also possible that human activities affecting that process as well. active construction of words is

a known fact there. mm. as the locals have described this lake as bottom last time, we obviously know that's not the case. angela, but how well studied has been sleeping. so see what i see. people from all across russia come here because the lake doesn't freeze over their massive round water flows into serious spring water. so we can dive all year round and i heard that i'm not the 1st english i'm on to go into this lake. correct? you're not the 1st one, the 1st was a diver, but the name of martin robson. he said a record going as the bus 209 meters. i don't think that we will beat his record today. not a chance. okay, well that's good buddy. is this your main mouthpiece for breathing, and this is the back up in case the main one fails for when you need to help someone else me, diverge, typically swimming pairs. you go with the body. this is part of the diving safety of adults do. when someone has a problem underwater, they can give a hand signal and if necessary, we have them rebecca mouthpiece,

very me. but the out of, i'm just at the sign. this sign means there's a problem. this way we can talk underwater. this sign means there is a problem, up down, ok,

or or say you look at your pressure gauge and you can gesture to your pardon and to let them know how much air you have left and swing by. this means 50. this is 100, and these are ones, so you can check everything. thank you angela. the angela. you said that the wolf temperature is around 9 degrees c, but it didn't seem to get any colder. the deeper we went, why is that? would you feel like a spring fed? so the water flows from under ground, the info is very strong and the volume of water are very large. so the leg doesn't freeze over. you can dive all the around and the temperature is naturally maintained across the lake. occasionally, the lake can become torque, ways, white,

and color. it means that hydrogen sulfide is coming out. hydrogen sulfide is released from the depths, and there's a distinctive cell older like something's wrong easily. but in recent years, this has been happening. the lesson will as often animal stays, the lake is clear and odor free. and so with quite lucky today that we don't have this specific tongue associated with dislike. no, which is yes,

we are very lucky that we didn't have to deal with the smiles. and so how much of it? thank you very much for such a wonderful experience today, especially with them. so, i mean, you know, it's about 75, the the take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse who really wants a better wills and is just as a chosen few fractured images presented to this. but can you see through their illusion going underground can trumps promised to shock the system and he is,

he has declared war against the us government, threatened friends involved a life with a terror for. and now here's personally decided to reorder the middle east palestinians and gals have faced more force displacement and ethnic cleansing. the pushing forward heather watson ami takes control of a former ukranian stronghold, did get to public as opposed to come in and off more guidelines being killed. despite the ceasefire, the us president suggests relocating them into the biography countries until the
