my dad for russian viewers there are several wonderful chapters about soviet anti-semitism and the role that the soviet union play from the one nine hundred sixty s. to the one nine hundred eighty s. in spreading anti semitism an anti zionism around the globe so will be a particular interest for viewers of russia t.v. all over the world already gentlemen i'm afraid and out of time we've really run out of time here many thanks to our guests today in new york washington and in san francisco and thanks to our international viewers for watching us here r.t.e. see you next time and remember cross talk rules. and. it can hear dr swan's policeman's wives ministers why not just.

if you didn't find me if i could just live through the night that i would get my kids out of here because i knew that what was going to happen was that he was going to kill me many victims don't understand that domestic violence includes verbal abuse psychological abuse physical abuse and sexual acts at least four million women are affected by abuse every year those are my only two options that i saw at that moment either i'm going to kill him i'm in jail or he's going to kill him. in some. grand hotel you're a grand hotel emerald. is a club school. hotel olympic gold. greenfield netscape limits

this is really. good twitter to be could scream for you. know sort of. hello again this is all see it would trickle the headlines that the amount. of russian oil tycoon mikhail khodorkovsky awaits sentencing in any case but it's bigger than he is nor imprisoned in a second trial he's been found to go to heaven billions of dollars and though he's a former business partner that will never do that aren't they seventeen cheers for tots evasion and soon. russia's prime minister islam's i've called on the line officials and what he calls an acceptable behavior thousands of passengers were left stranded in moscow terminals for days without basic help book travel information this comes after severe weather cold lengthy delays and flight

cancellations. and big u.s. military budget grows as less money flows to welfare benefits south americans are wondering whether they're paying too much to fill the nation's war chest the federal debt has reportedly hit its highest level in over sixteen years. of next here on our same time to look towards the future with walls most promising gizmos and gadgets. hello and welcome to technology update are you tired of paying those overblown electric bills at the end of each month this could be the answer you've been waiting for a lot of the energy and with it a lot of the harder and caskets burn out by crummy old incandescent light bulbs but

what if i could get you a lot more light and waste way less wattage in the process and up and coming russian company is just open a huge new production facility to help make that energy efficient dream a reality. doesn't meet my sleazy sales pitch the high tech brainchild of a trio of russian scientists was born abroad and is now returned to russia to cut ribbon on a shiny new factory at the outskirts of st petersburg aside from being a happy homecoming this assembly line launches a big step in russia's attempts to modernize its economy and go green at the same time. the capacity. is the highest business in russia countries and in eastern europe we can produce to do. it's.

made some of the first strides in constructing the incandescent lamps in the eight hundred seventy s. . filaments. inventor thomas edison introduced improved extended relatively short life of electric bulbs. then to over one thousand hours twentieth century the tungsten filament light bulbs still in use today were already emerging . at the end of the one nine hundred fifty s. and high pressure sodium street lighting in the sixty's compact. were pioneered in the seventy's and are still a popular option as we move towards energy efficiency. diodes may be seen in the ninety's with improvements in technology since then showing incredible flexibility and efficiency quite possibly making. the future. future

the big shots the octagon factory opening. clearly understood the positive impact of having the company on and she was joined by dignitaries and investors from beyond it's a project that state high tech corporation is happy to throw its weight behind. in fact. all of this physical technical institute it's been a world class center for fundamental physics and cutting edge technology since the days of its founder. would soon. train the ranks of the soviet union's top nuclear scientists they also begin work on semiconductors that underpins virtually all modern electronics. was one of the

institute's bright stars and the fuel of semiconductor physics and of today's. meeting were developed. twenty. russian scientists. experimented with. the end of the nine hundred sixty s. we saw the appearance of d.s. based on a three semiconductor. that was in the late one nine hundred sixty s. . is the next generation know how to develop students and what we see here demonstrates how fast changing both in scientific and technological terms and also in terms of the top rate equipment racing here. top managers. were students in the same mid ninety's

graduate class and while the optoelectronics department gave them the best of foundations they were completing their studies at a time of difficult transition for the russian scientific community. at the beginning of. our economy facing a dramatic evil due to disastrous. by the government i mean they were carried out in a callous way and russian science found itself in a difficult situation we could not have survived maintained scientific potential international collaboration. of innovative entrepreneurs seeking elusive startup conditions in an era of uncertainty in fact much of the developed world was suffering an economic identity crisis in the late twentieth century. just in the collapsing socialist. german city of dortmund where the russian innovators eventually found their incubator was no

exception. the world is full of rusting old industrial space by the wayside and the constant shifts of the global economy the challenge on everyone's minds is to rethink and rebuild these spaces to compete in the high tech twenty first century. challenges were particularly acute in a city the once mighty complex and europe's largest economy these pictures are from the final days of phoenix west a massive plant operated by. that along with other heavy industry installations. working class long before the mill was shuttered for good in one thousand nine hundred eight the economic. crisis. they had to take a decision to do for the future. there

is a decision you can see here. by the way as. an impressive new facility. passed. in april two thousand and five. for micro technology with. clean room infrastructure for small companies trying to take technology from. the facility from the city state and european union now hosting around twenty companies with over one hundred employees. including many from russia so what you see here in that white board is basically the essence of eight years of experience really very

good with the russian friends and i do. you know the route in technology that needs to have access to global markets obviously there is a get in between and don't want this to teams find the perfect infrastructure in order to do the conversion of that technology into products where is the money to make a reality come from well basically it needs investors right but you know to give them this infrastructure in a high tech start up team to make a predictable conversion you have a clear timeframe move to the few years in order to convert technology to products and prepare the company in order to approach global markets that's exactly the kind of preparation. and his classmates turned business partners and up to gone were looking for when they came to dortmund and to help them take top quality off the electronic technology to the market. up the gun originally was founded by. two my friends and classmates from university and myself and. meyer who joined us

and he helped to move here to. the company. and through this time to develop the main principles and basically came to the final product loop created that elegant today we have between ten companies on the level of performance so what exactly was it that opera guy needed to get their business off the ground ensure equipment. diodes don't grow on trees to grow in every taxi or reactors able to rent top quality equipment in affordable rates and the m.s.t. factory in the after gun team said about generating a top quality sample that made them an attractive investment to set up a full scale production here's how it's done. production starts with a thin model crystalline sapphire wafer and a process known as. placed inside

a special chamber the wafer is bombarded with various gases to form a multi-layered structure under specific pressure and temperature conditions the gases cause chemical reactions leaving layers of gallium nitride indium nitride and aluminum nitride on the way for surface each wafer will produce up to thousands of l.e.d.s. so a laser edging process cards out the individual chips contacts are then affixed to each one of the tiny l.e.d. chips are now ready to be placed inside being casement connected with gold wire the contacts and covered with a foster layer to convert blue to white light negative in positive charge currents meet in the active layer of the diode releasing photons in the form of visible light and. technology while that energy efficiency really. recovering the innovation technologies and look to russia and we talked to several groups of friends several financial groups and on the group of michael

crossroads they were like much faster than others they realize the potential of the company and they simply bought it now main expertise and one core. and inside of the protection layers we found a way that we can grow material with the least dislike cations and defects to even worldliness meaning that we can build chips with a more cost efficient technology delivering the same level of performance we are in a transition phase for all pilot minutes factoring who have here in germany. going to try and establish an today in russia begun is now busy calibrating their production lines in st petersburg to perfectly recreate the recipe they nailed down in it's a tedious process even on the prototype scale. and now the expectation. comes out of these machines is going not to showcase for potential investors but to meet the

lighting needs of clients. to plan what advantages. for an equivalent amount of light up to god projects it's. nearly ten fold and fifty times meanwhile they will cut in half the energy usage of most c.f.l. and usefully ten times less like. mercury pollution is a potentially serious problem with energy saving c.f.l. . toxic threat. completely. environmentally safe in russia. four hundred. people. in russia. it's bigger to. expect russian market to.

receive the growth of the market for. a hundred percent a year and. doesn't have to look. as the city of st petersburg is undergoing an l.e.d. overhaul. company is in charge of some one hundred eighty thousand. that's a huge market for the new. production plant. to. initially we intend to use to eliminate the city's. construction in the pipeline with new streets to be designed and built in two thousand and twenty thirteen. so after we've done we'll extend the replacement program to residential districts and then move on to revamp the lighting for major transport

rays in the city as well as the embankments and other key sites beyond their hometown up to go on his branching out to the far away russian republic of straddling the arctic circle in icy northern siberia energy efficiency is more than a slogan there since producing electricity in much of the region is expensive and heavily subsidized they also need new technology built to withstand their long brutal winter. what if you. work in temperature conditions like we have a lot of parts of russia. but integrated we just. cold country. that you need minus sixty degree. and this is a prototype here what's different about it i can't tell with the naked eye but tell

me a little bit about the technology i would say that right now you can buy minus a degree. from the market what we have to make those. quite a. design is definitely a big part of the heavily competitive game since other companies outside of russia have already been on the market for years octagon has to show the ability to meet customer specific demands like to temperature standards and it's all about better lighting solutions ever lower costs definitely it's like more economical light. today it's still quite high. five six years. but in four years it will be like. one here. and it means that it will for

real white population. now that kind of mass scale consumer base is a bit beyond our grasp even if you think this land or street in industrial lighting will be great for your garage you might balk when you saw the three hundred dollars price tag so well up to gun works on driving down the cost of chip production somebody needs to tackle the issue of bold design before i'm sold on switching over to. the fortunately the creative minds that more deliberative studios are already on the case my scales hippest design squad is constantly coming up with new ways to merge high tech functions with the fashionable for their blueprints or behind a futuristic prototype octagon screw in a light pole. what was the main challenge that you guys had to overcome in making these lamps obviously the technology is quite advanced now but there's still some issues to solve the biggest one is the problem of couldn't don't use

a lot of heat so we have to design the very good. is that what this thing is for and here yeah it's like. the theme we just came out for the market three years ago and it's just a standard solution but we like to change it and make it more effective and we got inspired by nature because if you look at some great stuff like mushrooms for example that apes there they just like the new wave in up and go and. the same the same similar stuff and help. extend the capacity and space and. process more effect from a purely design perspective from an artistic perspective. do you. working with bulbs that need a radiator this clunky like when i look at this i see mostly radiator very little ball and you don't get light maybe as much coming down this direction are you

looking at ways to completely redo the lighting so that you don't have to have such a bulky radiator industry itself is very rapidly changing day by day i think maybe even up to one year we'll have another design a different look so what then is the future of this kind of design a look like mentioned. small and small and for example they can cause or which is called slight engine and physically it's a very very tiny. thing. and by implementing that. you know the common you could create any shape whatever you want. but some of the designs may seem a bit frivolous a first glimpse but we're talking about a far more flexible lighting future where we can ditch traditional shapes in the name of variety added bit of color to just about anything and replace old school single function buttons with tiny l e discrete multiplying your devices

possibilities another reader for cation is in the automobile lighting and the you'll be a hybrid by russian billionaire this month is literally hoping to invent the wheel . full scale production sometime in two thousand and twelve the economy cars are trimmed with all the latest gadgets for the urban commuter could have said nixon group backs both octagon in the new car company so it's no wonder he understood the advantages of that product from st peters and google which is what you first of all the use of lie to me. to come para consumption compared to traditional labs and secondly no less important the extended lifespan basically burning as long as you can. the use of. this to simplify because optics lowering costs by saving in hybrid season features. company here as the world's leading luxury sports car makers had seen the light about the lamps in recent years as well

as the bang for the buck you can expect to encounter more l.e.d.s. on the road. technology is finding applications everywhere these days even living room but it's just the tip of the iceberg. there are more innovations on the way from the same team of st petersburg scientists upstairs from octagons launching pad. offices of the russian company. classmates and. industry. even deeper into their scientific work on semiconductor physics. international team to become one of the world's leaders in technology when they've set up the complete production cycle beginning here with molecular taxi and finishing with a range of packaged products includes laser chips and fiber coupled laser modules for use in industrial medical and communications technology.

research is from the physical technical university where we worked in the laboratory of the. private company here in germany we managed to secure a significant. company. produces millions of chips for the medical. research to create a unique chip to be used in the industry of optical computer into connections. she's a different place now. submitted a project. with a proposal to set up production facilities. something unique.

his company is among the global elite quantum dots or confined semiconductor crystals with unique electronics. discovered in the one nine hundred eighty s. by physicists. quantum dots are great advantages. for more. on the bases of. we will be able to make it. through a single. move than one hundred gigabits. it will help. you see everywhere today just

a few. several dozen times. many hundred times. think of the. data coming out of your computer. today the options are basically either building a road. or waiting in traffic with the data. to the same highway sending information on the same fiber using several different. wavelengths and each plane is flying it. and you see what kind of breakthrough we're talking about. redefining the computer. one hundred.

in two thousand and six. expect. technology. to competitive firms with cutting edge projects. and possibly. innovative business abroad and bring them home. over the world from the famous silicon valley to.

project an international city of. over the next decade. or so the next time technology update brings you a high tech success story it might just be born right here. he's going to cover these. groups. to give them kind of. what we discussed. in. and this part has to be done in russia immediately otherwise we would never you know cross the bridge between science and manufacturing it would be because between science and avoiding one it's true there is a huge gap there is a prototype development and scientists i myself i'm

a scientist they very often say don't understand how huge is this get. wealthy british science some time to. market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy.
