you know the flow is rejected the ice is too thin we go further north the drill plunges down three metres which is good but the field is too rocky for the camp we return to the shape of. the voyage will be long and fascinating the explorers cheer each other up but look disappointed makes treme hot summer is being felt in the arctic this year they say is similar to two thousand and seven which marked the peak of global warming. but the mission is getting harder there are fewer and fewer suitable ice fields every year before we could find up to forty of them but now we're calling the whole arctic in search of one at dawn the explorers decide to play the wild card they try for the last potential ice flow in this area otherwise they will had for the north pole. great god that's just so they know.

that you're so brilliant that was how they got thank you god saw that it would. be all right that's right. but no need for a rescue operation this is the ice. we have just found a suitable field mined by thirteen kilometers wide and the arch is about three meters thick. now that the platform was found i had five days of unloading a dozen houses a sauna several tractors about a thousand barrels with fuel and of course professional equipment will be floating on the eyes for a year the crew will work day and night the dogs are also keeping themselves busy at dawn when abby was still asleep they chased away a polar bear and many other challenges faced them in the next twelve months for

schwarzenegger has said a lot of things of course with everybody eagerly lapping up what he asked to say of course him being quite a famous figure and much respected and loved figure here in russia his movies of course big hits and so many of the students at the higher school of economics where he lectured today turned out to listen to what the man had to say not only for business but for pleasure but of course focusing mainly on the priorities that. outlined the nature of his a lecture primarily climate. changes and curbing greenhouse gas emissions and various ways in preventing global warming effects from spreading and various other things that the california governor shared many of his experiences saying that california was and has accomplished a lot in curbing greenhouse gas emissions for example and various other ways of aiding the climate but of course it wasn't all business that the movie star and

california governor spoke about he raised many many important aspects joking that was interspersing his speech with many joe. because of course one of them one of the most one of the jokes that got perhaps one of the most responses from the crowd was his variation of his famous i'll be back that of course was in response to whether he's going back to russia according to our notes towards nagin has received an offer to become moscow's mayor so he may quite well be back but of course it's not the only thing the man. the california governor spoke about and talking about a mosque on his time here he said that he loved the city and everything about it. you can just tell you that after i would roll around the world i've seen all the big cities moscow is one of the most beautiful cities to have been to do it's beautiful in the daytime it looks beautiful when it's sunshine and it looks

russia's global innovation partnership a sizing up the country's development opportunities on the form second day the u.s. delegation headed by the governor of california arnold schwarzenegger is visiting a recess not russia's nano technology hub correspondent daniel bushell is at risk headquarters. we're at the headquarters of russia's great high tech hope at the moment. russian nanotech corporation has had the material and it is locked in talks in the room just behind us with venture capitalists and startups from silicon valley and california who are looking at investing in russian high tech devices certainly the right man for the job he persuaded foreign investors to pump a cool thirty billion dollars into russian electricity when he headed up russian energy monopoly you yes some investors have voiced concern about the level of government involvement in russia this modernization drive is top down efforts and

like many others is states run with a very special situation where you cannot introduce in the ration by decree but at the same time in russia you can move them to use them without the degree of the three for me for the sectors that i am most interested in and dedicated to helping make happen including here in fuel cells where the other forms of technology i think in terms of materials i mentioned we are working on several projects together in terms of light emitting diodes l.e.d.s. . it's going through a very great leap in efficiency. and i think it's going to change the lighting industry worldwide from nanotechnology the investors will move on this afternoon to specialists russia said to have some of the best programmers in the world and venture capitalists here say they're looking forward to tapping that. for an

insight into how investors view the prospects for russia's high tech sector i'm not joined by yuri void sikorsky chairman of the investment climate development council yuri thanks very much for joining me now first off how much can one trade mission actually achieve. can achieve to look after. business is done between companies it's actually mainly done between people and it's done face to face and it's based on trust and i believe business like that could help a lot to improve relationships between people between decision makers and should lead eventually to some deals and joint ventures created so you don't say this is a one off event you see this is quite an important event i see it raises an important event and this should be as one of many events to follow i think that should happen on a regular basis so terrible to all levels and so bills are promoted to dawdles and how do you see the current perceived investment climate in russia for foreign

investors to events like this must help of course i hope in this new climate is a combination of risks and rewards and from potential point of view russia of course has a huge potential and i think all of us to see it since such a big interest and such or such are. present for delegation from least point of view again risk realist and perceived risks and sometimes. investors have difficulty even prisoners because the subject is not well known to them and i believe this is like that and will between business leaders as well as between politicians help to reduce perceived risk and to what extent does government involvement in business in russia put off foreign investors and we should talk about what kind of a moment of course government should. be doing to hold true improve

we can support in your research like that. is very important should be true and create a little playing field for all players should help to reduce troops continue to come to. improve overall. legal framework in a country. so god the government was very very important but i'm to keep you skeptical about government in a moment when the company is into investment so what i'm saying is an element. should focus on and on all things but ritual create bases fulfill deals which should be done. by private businesses and from what go you don't want to try to degrees it's actually in. in in the or in the private sector in in the corporate sector. about privatizing some would stakes and let's move just recruit some some. some strategic sectors but always ability to

dominate has announced that it's planning to develop some sticks and some companies but do you think this privatization of state run assets is it a move to attract investors to russia or is it just to to generate cash for the state i've been in government understand what it's all should be and so i believe are many objectives as well as a realization that businesses will be on more effectively if. owned by private sector i think it's also will help to reduce. corruption and also. create more transparent environment and more talk of environment. for investments and how far do you think the government should go. i think except some strategic or perhaps defense sectors i think a singles should be open for four or four investments for corporation relief in a global vault and shortly before

a before all logical name is. trade also means. for inclusion of users that will go in and you know joint ownership of companies creation of joint ventures creation joint business bottoms russian companies investing abroad also the russian. all those foreign ministers coming into the congress to russia and finally europe as it stands how do you think the investment climate in russia can post to other brics at the moment i think is difficult. you know. because each country's there's a small. business as i would see. in my view very strongly on the one potential russia has very potential. as a market as a source or for minnesotans. i think russia can do quite a lot. to reduce visas like like you seem to be.
