01:48He leads to death in the universe.
02:06There were a lot of moments in life.
02:08And in the life of a person, there were so many points of bifurcation.
02:18A person in a certain time, in a certain space,
02:27has a choice to go right, right, right.
02:32I don't believe in fate, I don't believe in karma.
02:37A person changes his life.
02:44A person changes his life.
02:49It can be seen by a weapon.
02:51And not in the best way.
02:53This is a point of bifurcation.
02:55This is a point of bifurcation.
03:07Bifurcation.
03:08To be continued...
03:10...
03:11...
03:43I'm living on the Lake Baker Lake for 20 years and never see this condition of ice.
04:09Flat, transparent, like a mirror to the horizon.
04:14I don't know how to explain.
04:17I don't have as much English words as in Russian.
04:21Siberia, it's definitely a gift, especially Lake Baikal.
04:39I'd always wanted to go there.
04:43Ever since I was a little girl, I'd been fascinated by its stories and legends.
04:51The hardships, the challenges, the gulags.
04:56It was always about human endeavor.
05:02I never really heard about its powerful nature, its raw beauty, the surprising abundance, the mysticism.
05:19No wonder they say shamanism was born there.
05:27This lake is over 30 million years old.
05:30It's the most old lake in the world.
05:32The most big, the most pure.
05:42They say it originated from the intense prayers of the Buryat people.
05:50During a massive fire, they called out to gods for salvation.
05:58A big hole appeared and it quickly began to fill up with transparent icy water.
06:03The name Baikal means stop the fire.
06:33The name Baikal means stop the fire.
06:39Oh, I think we're stuck.
06:42Yeah, there's like a crack in the ice.
06:44Yeah, I gotta feel bad.
07:03The nature here is pretty tough.
07:06And actually, to live here, you need some reasons.
07:09Not, you know, reasons that that's my fate or my fathers and grandfathers were living here.
07:15But you had to have your own reasons to live on this tough, tough situation, tough conditions.
07:24That's the price of the beauty.
07:25I mean, sometimes this lake is so quiet like a puppy.
07:29And sometimes it's trying to kill you all.
07:55I don't think Baikal belongs to humans.
08:15It is the Great White Alone.
08:18A transitional world like a sort of liminal space.
08:21To regenerate or disappear.
08:24And sometimes even come back.
08:27It's one of those places that can bring out the best or the worst in humans.
08:35For the rest of the planet, Lake Baikal means a source of clean water.
08:40The symbol of clean water.
08:42For us, it's something really gentle and something that we take care of.
08:54Like a part of our home.
08:59It's so huge and it's almost existing forever, comparing with humanity.
09:04Yeah.
09:05It's something that can just open with humanity.
09:06Light G Fuel
09:08And it's something that would represent an transitional nature for us maybe inây.
09:09To that сделали армонkt.
09:10And that goes beyond that, in terms of clean energy.
09:12On.
09:13People love the giving it.
09:14Well, it's something that was hoodie.
09:15It's something that, you'd Kunden love the nature.
09:17It's something that, you'd remember the tradition of Sloane.
09:18Now, remember where we'd live with the whole world.
09:24We know where we were talking about compared toêuAC 댄附.
09:26This personal life environment.
09:27Many people who have born there,
09:28And the border ideas of montrer
09:30をrrrr KeeMom and the other countries.
09:31And we'd have some unique things the nature that they are
09:32It's not only the main water resource for the planet, it's also the great energetic
09:58resource. And when I stay away from the area for a long time, I feel really empty.
10:20You know, for most of the people living here, it's like that.
10:31Most of us, we define ourselves not that much as Russians, but as Siberians.
10:50When I have some kind of sorrow or some kind of like huge problems, I always come to Baikal
10:59and I actually speak to him because it's a live creature.
11:12I always put my hands in and say like, hello, father, like in this big minion.
11:27Yeah, and it actually helps.
11:39You have something extraordinary here. You have the biggest water reserve on the planet.
11:57They say that with the water of Baikal, you could give drinking water to the entire planet
12:02for at least over a year.
12:03It's true, just because only the last maybe a couple of years, I mean, locals start to realize
12:10what we have. Because more and more we can see in the media and the news and people suffering
12:17without just the water. The water just goes.
12:21The United Nations is warning today of an approaching global water crisis because of pollution,
12:27global warming and overconsumption.
12:372024 was the hottest year in recorded history, dating back almost 200 years.
12:43All the way from Florida to California.
12:45Heat wave is gripping parts of Europe.
12:47But the temperatures could be deadly.
12:49Expected to hit 45.
12:50Western states are experiencing the worst mega drought in at least 1200 years.
13:00Northern Greece.
13:01Belgium, Germany, Italian cities.
13:03Canada, U.S. and China.
13:06In China, authorities are battling one of the worst droughts seen in more than 50 years.
13:11And most of us have turned a blind eye to it.
13:20Year upon year, science has predicted it. Now, each summer, we are living it and dying from it.
13:31A quarter of the world's population doesn't have enough water to meet the demand for drinking,
13:36agriculture and industry.
13:37Up to 3.5 billion people live under conditions of water stress at least one month a year.
13:44With water being rationed for agricultural and residential use, finding water is like finding gold.
14:05When I see especially foreign tourists which bring water to Lake Baikal in the bottles,
14:12I'm surprised because we never do this.
14:14We just take a cup and drink water directly from the lake.
14:17It doesn't need to boil it. It's really simple.
14:23And we are always smiling when we look at it.
14:26But these smiles become less and less because last year it was a huge situation.
14:35We can't drink water in different parts of the lake because it's changed.
14:38It's changed. The chemical elements are different in some parts of it. It's become because of people.
14:55It's changed. It's changed. It's changed. It's changed. It's changed. It's changed.
15:00Human activity on its 636 kilometers long shores has increased and so has pollution.
15:06Russia's lake Baikal holds 20% of the world's fresh water and is home to species unseen anywhere else.
15:13But for how much longer? The Siberian lake has seen an unwelcome addition to its roster of life in recent years.
15:19The sticky green moose that stretches for hectares, a sign of increased pollution levels.
15:25Of course, I can see changes and a lot of them, it's upsetting me.
15:30If we close our eyes to what is happening here, more and more things like this happen.
15:46The Soviet era Baikal's paper and pulp mill. For 50 years, it dumped millions of cubic meters of
15:52industrial waste into the lake, chlorides, phenol and sulfates. 6.2 million tons of toxic waste.
15:58Baikal is an example of an ecological disaster because this city was built because of factory.
16:09The factory is closed and the people just abandoned there.
16:15They have a huge territory, abandoned territory, which is in ruins and it's already covered with the
16:23forest and the grass. Scientists concerned about what could happen if nothing's done,
16:28with the stocks of waste. It could be like, you know, the second Chernobyl or something like that.
16:33We can lose the lake.
16:39We can lose the lake.
16:47Give me a drum.
16:51Yeah, that's very cool, that sound.
16:54Every, I don't know, two, five years different teams trying to solve the problem, but unfortunately,
17:02the project was closed. No one was told anything.
17:06I think that economy is pretty tense.
17:17The biggest issue is for programs, for biggest programs, which needs a lot of money.
17:22They have the biggest influence from the world.
17:35That's not even being involved in the world.
17:36We have the biggest concern to the world.
17:37I think it should be a person.
17:39They have the biggest concern for them.
17:41By the time.
17:42One day, the festival continues to be an open place.
17:44So when the festival continues to be an open place and the whole goal is to run the
17:44field.
17:46They can drop them outside the field.
17:48I think there's a lot more of time.
17:50When it does a festival build a house for a lucky day.
17:51It sounds like a lot of time.
17:52Now, I'm sure it's just shipping.
17:53I think there's a lot more of time.
17:55That's a lot of time.
17:57So I think if you're going to be too low,
17:59I'm sure you like a lot of time.
17:59Then I don't have to be too low as the house.
18:01So there are a lot of young men from Siberia leaving for war?
18:23We can see a lot of people in airport or rail station
18:28which goes to the war or coming back from the war.
18:32But for our normal lives, it's still the same.
18:36A lot of people, they are volunteers.
18:43Their families suffering because they don't have any other work to do
18:47except fishing, for example.
18:49They just need to take care about their families.
18:51It's simple.
18:52And they are living here like for five, four or more generations.
18:58I think that the most of these people thinks that they are victims.
19:06The system is guilty.
19:07The government is guilty.
19:09The environment changes or everything like that.
19:12We are small people.
19:14Since Russia invaded Ukraine, 300,000 Russian soldiers have died or been injured, many of them conscripts.
19:24For soldiers from Siberia and Russia's Far East, which is home to many ethnic minorities, the price has been overwhelming.
19:31The BBC found that six of the ten Russian regions with the highest mortality rates in Ukraine are located in Siberia and the Far East,
19:40and that men from Buryatia are 75 times more likely to die than men from Moscow.
19:46Our complex world of human-constructed systems are far from equilibrium.
20:05We are losing our natural order just as fast as our planet is.
20:12Our destiny interlocked with hers, at least for human eternity.
20:20Our planet is 70% water.
20:27We are 70% water.
20:29It has trickled down to us from the cosmos.
20:34Some of the water we are drinking has been around since life started here, 4.6 billion years ago.
20:53Water never dies, and it keeps on going through us.
21:00Through us.
21:01All of us.
21:02Again, and again, and again.
21:07Water is a human right, and a common development denominator to shape a better future.
21:14But water is in deep trouble.
21:16Water scarcity is the next big challenge.
21:19Many experts have predicted that future wars will be fought over water.
21:23For years, wars were waged for stability.
21:26But soon, this stability will depend on one thing.
21:30How well the region tackles climate change.
21:34These kinds of stresses can contribute to violent conflict.
21:39Take a look at this video.
21:41Here you have the Chinese and Indian militaries beating each other over a barbed wire high in the Himalayas.
21:49So disputes between India and China have been getting worse this year.
21:53Especially since that deadly border clash in June.
21:56There's a lot at stake here.
21:58Water.
22:00Water.
22:18China is planning the world's most complicated super dam.
22:21size could change the geopolitical power balance across South Asia how can
22:31something we all share and keep on sharing become so divisive the fight for
22:37blue gold more and more militarized zones we see the trend rising everywhere
22:43every day it gets worse
22:47Ukraine blames Russia for blowing up the strategic dam overnight it's one of six
22:52dams on the Nipro River and supplies vital drinking water power and cooling for the
22:57nearby Zaporizhia nuclear power plant there are no any gaps where is no war on the planet Earth
23:05the humanity is always fighting sometimes this war is much closer to us sometimes this war is
23:16not too close for us
23:22Kashmir is claimed by both India and Pakistan in full and has seen a decades-long insurgency against
23:28Indian rule that has claimed tens of thousands of lives tensions between the two countries are
23:33escalating following the killing of 26 people in the aftermath of this attack Delhi suspended what
23:39is known as the Indus water treaty that ensures water for about 80% of Pakistani farms
23:45Pakistan says it will regard any attempt by India to limit its water supply as an act of war some
23:57rivers could swell up like this some could go completely dry which means essentially it's endless
24:03chaos and complete unpredictability for Pakistan which is what India wants
24:08water wars are only possible future or can we treat and manage our greatest connector what unites us all in a different way
24:33I can't be worried because I'm drinking water from the lake Baikal this is lake Baikal water
25:02directly from the lake and I want my son's to do the same so it's really important for me
25:08Do you think we're going to be able to resolve our real problems I mean all the environmental challenges we're going to have to face if we keep on fighting
25:18No, I don't think so I think that we will find solutions to any problems even for war problems if we start to communicate if we start to look for balance if we start to listen to each other in déjà
25:32I think that's the best weapon for humanity, the dialogue.
26:02I think that's the best weapon for humanity.
27:02Wildfires raging near Russia's Lake Baikal have destroyed forests and scared away tourists
27:29at the peak of the summer season when you think of Siberia you likely don't think about wildfires
27:35after all Siberia is one of the coldest places on the planet the blazes have been fueled for months
27:40by extreme heat but scientists say is a result of climate change gigantic infernos burning across
27:48Siberia on an unprecedented scale a climate catastrophe
27:53NASA satellite imagery has shown that smoke from the fires has wafted from Siberia and the far east
28:02all the way to Alaska and along Canada's west coast the carbon emissions are nearly as much as 36 million
28:09cars they admit in a year
28:39the first time I came to Siberia was in the summer of 2017 the fires had just happened and were still
28:58active in some places it still smells like burning the sound of silence was dark like the forest
29:15once in a while you could hear this eerie crackling under your feet
29:20it was endless even the sky when I would lift up my head just seemed like a continuation of those woody
29:35spears there was nothing hopeful about that wasted land and that's something I can never forget
29:49at the time when I was here they were so violent that the NASA said they actually affected the
29:59weather pattern everything was gray I remember the moment when it started I was actually here in the
30:05Sandy pay with a group and that it happens because of us of course forest fire something very natural and
30:14it happens just happens just because of the thunderstorm whatever but now it happens like hundreds times more frequently
30:21do you remember the silence of this forest yeah I remember the scary silence of the sound of insects eating the bark of the trees
30:26it feels like you can shoot a horror movie here
30:42You can shoot a horror movie here.
30:50It's really a huge amount of the area which got burned around here.
30:56And it is one of the most famous and one of the most beautiful places around Baikal.
31:02And since then we've seen forests burn all over the planet.
31:06It's a growing problem.
31:12Deadly wildfires that are sweeping through Australia.
31:1630,000 people ordered to evacuate. 13 million acres burned.
31:20Great wildfires are slowly but steadily taking over the world.
31:24In Palermo, Italy, people made terrifying journeys to get to safety.
31:30All the way from Australia and the Amazon to Siberia and Scandinavia.
31:37The Amazon rainforest continues to burn.
31:40The aftermath of the savage fire which ripped through Sardinia.
31:44There was considerable damage to 500 beehives with 30 million bees.
31:48If you're worse standing, you should be able to see the Statue of Liberty as long as it's not, you know, a cloudy, rainy day.
32:07But right now, it's very difficult to make out.
32:10And you can smell it too.
32:12So all of this, of course, is because of those wildfires burning in Canada.
32:16Wildfires in Canada are creating dangerous air quality conditions.
32:20And officials are warning that it could affect people with breathing issues who are more at risk.
32:26Wildfires in Canada.
32:28Prolonged drought set up extreme conditions that have fueled those devastating Los Angeles area wildfires.
32:36Conditions compounded by climate change.
32:38There is no doubt we're transitioning to a new era characterized by more frequent catastrophic wildfires.
32:52The so-called megafires.
32:54In a way, the new age of wildfires is actually helping us understand the real fight, which is global warming.
33:12Fires actually have a way of making heat, often an invisible threat.
33:18Very real.
33:20These megafires are carrying across the world the rage of our changing planet.
33:28In a way that is impossible to ignore.
33:32Because extraordinary fires are definitely here to stay.
33:39Definitely here to stay.
34:09Let's meet with a couple different figures.
34:33So...
34:35Let me get the spot.
34:52Is that very far, Dasha, from the...
34:55You can't manage it, don't worry.
35:05Let me get the spot.
35:35How do you manage to overcome the feeling of catastrophe?
35:57Because you're traveling so much to the places which have some environmental problems and
36:04you're always speaking about that.
36:09It's through you and all the other Earth Protectors that I meet that I feel empowered but that
36:14I keep my spirits high because that's the hope.
36:21The hope is that there will be more and more people in the next generation who have accepted,
36:36who are embracing the fact that we are going to need to adapt to a new world and everything
36:40that will come with it.
36:44That's what I'm very interested in today because I don't think we will make it as a species
36:48if we don't go through some sort of systemic change.
37:00That's my hope.
37:19No birds.
37:20No birds.
37:21You guys are looking at it.
37:23You wait in, man.
37:24No birds.
37:25No birds.
37:26Yes, sir.
37:27There are no one I, too.
37:29I love this place.
37:59Are those people skating?
38:29Sometimes, usually it's from my home to the center, like three days or four days trip.
38:36And they have their…
38:38Everything in there, but they try and make the track like that.
38:44I don't know anybody who skates like that.
38:47Like traveling.
38:48Yeah, like traveling.
38:49I've never heard of that done.
38:56I don't know anybody who skates like that.
39:03I don't know anybody who skates like that.
39:08I don't know anybody who skates like that.
39:22I don't know anybody who skates like that.
39:41I don't know anybody who skates like that.
39:55I don't know anybody who skates like that.
40:16And as Nobel laureate Ilya Prigogine once said, when a complex system is far from equilibrium,
40:25small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to shift the entire system
40:33to a higher order.
40:34Words worth remembering, dear listeners, especially in turbulent times.
40:40Alcon Island is another amazing place.
40:59It's a unique spiritual place.
41:02And it's the biggest island of the Lake Baikal and the only island where people live.
41:08When you are coming to this place to Shaman Rock in the early morning, you can easily
41:38imagine how was the world before people.
41:48Like you can really easily imagine the earth before humanity.
41:53You can easily imagine what you want to imagine.
41:54You can easily imagine how that's at the time.
41:55You can easily imagine the earth before you believe in an indigenous and
41:58this is what you think of.
42:00And you must imagine what do you want to imagine?
42:03.
42:15.
42:20.
42:22.
42:24.
42:25.
42:26.
42:27.
42:28.
42:29.
42:30.
42:31.
42:32.
42:33.
42:33.
43:03The world!
43:05The world!
43:07The world!
43:09The world!
43:11The world!
43:13The world!
43:19People were removed from nature.
43:21As we as shaman think,
43:23everything has its soul,
43:25everything has its soul.
43:27The land, ordinary stone,
43:29the trees, the animals,
43:31everything is made.
43:33The shaman,
43:35as a religion,
43:37it's very ecological.
43:59I was born in the city
44:01of the world.
44:03From the moment
44:05when I became shaman,
44:07I was a very sacred person.
44:09I was a careerist,
44:11I was a careerist,
44:13and there was no conversation about it.
44:15And then,
44:17I got to suffer from the shaman disease.
44:19I got into the reanimation,
44:21and I was in a coma.
44:23After that,
44:25I realized
44:27all my life processes.
44:29I got to take a look at a place
44:31and then I got to look at the sea.
44:33I got to take a look at the land,
44:35and I got to come to the sea,
44:37and then I got to take a look at the sea.
44:39And then I got to take a look at the sea.
44:41We take nature, the roots, the forest, and so on.
44:52We take more of this animal approach.
44:58We need to be careful.
45:09We take the land, we live not on the land of our ancestors, but we take it to our children.
45:39We live not on the land of our ancestors, but we live not on the land of our ancestors.
46:05We live not on the land of our ancestors, but we live not on the land of our ancestors.
46:12We have to leave the land of our ancestors, and we are going to protect our ancestors.
46:20We live not on the land of our ancestors.
46:35He was born in the Urunda.
46:42He was born in the Urunda.
46:55He was born in the Urunda.
47:01Yeah, perfect, but you know I want to do like an arch, but do you see the, do you see the
47:24insulation? I want to put it behind it, like a, like a little alcove, you know?
47:31Smell this one. Mmm, I love it. Smell like good medicine.
47:54Yeah, straight facing me. Great. Yeah, a little bit more on the side, the side. Yeah, perfect.
48:04Sit down. Yeah, you can put it like going down. Yeah, there. Perfect.
48:09Actually, every person and humanity in the whole must strive to harmonize. It's the most important thing.
48:20Take a little bit of the snow away that's on that, yeah, exactly there.
48:46A little bit more towards the side. Yeah.
49:04A little bit more towards this side.
49:08Yeah.
49:09Well, you said that there is a revival in the spiritual sense.
49:17Well, I'd like it to be spread like a theory of the Holy Spirit.
49:23I think this gives us some hope for the same point, for the change, for the revival.
49:34Very well.
49:44I don't know whether or not you are eating.
50:22Love.
50:32True love never really suffers of inflation.
50:36It's coherent.
50:39And we always need more of it.
50:42Lots and lots of it.
50:47Can small loving initiatives, these small islands of coherence,
50:52as scientists say, have influence over a much bigger system?
50:59Could they actually help shift the chaotic and entropic world we are in?
51:05Manage to divert us from the doom of a Big Bang
51:08and guide us towards systemic change?
51:11So, wait.
51:12But if you want to eat the meat, you want to eat the meat?
51:15What do you do when they're crying?
51:17No.
51:18No.
51:18No.
51:19No.

52:06No.
52:07No.
52:08No.
52:09It's actually our contribution to saving the environment of our region and maybe some other places too.
52:39The connection between countries is much more important than to fight for the water or for the other sources.
52:55We just need to communicate, we just need to listen to each other.
53:00That's when I just need to find a balance between us because we're already fighting.
53:09I hope so that in 50 years after it's going to be a peacetime.
53:39They say that by connecting these three simple dimensions, you can create your own island of change, understand where you've come from, realize where you are now, and visualize where you want to be headed.
54:06Alexey, let's go, let's go, let's go.
54:13I'm happy with your own island.
54:15What do we do?
54:16Let's go.
54:17I have to go.
54:18Let's go.
54:20I'm happy.
54:21Oh
54:51I'm sorry to hold over water with a boom cool the way in love
