the. price of a few. songs from plans to. start on t.v. dot com. thanks for being with out seats not kevin oh in these are our top stories it's almost twenty five years now since the chernobyl disaster took one community hit hard by the fall outs in june ever since having no money to move residents have had to carry on with their lives on contaminated land and. civilian casualties continue to climb in libya with the u.s. bringing in unmanned drones to strike government forces meanwhile gadhafi stood for portably retreat from coastal areas leaving rebels to face tribal opposition

instead. and it's a case of freedom of speech versus religious tolerance in the u.s. where a pastor who publicly burned the qur'an is prevented from staging a protest in what's considered the country's boozman capital he's instead been off the designated zones where he can speak freak without inciting crowds. next we look at russian the russian republic where oil pumps give way to innovation in this month's latest technology update for you. hello and welcome to technology update this month we're in because it's the capital of the russian republic of the stone and the city of contrasts where religions and cultures from east and west collide but it's also the site where

a thousand years of history are giving way to an upstart innovation based economy newcomers to cosign are sure to take a tour of the city's kremlin to see miss gold world heritage site with a breathtaking array of minarets to get detail domes within a few hundred feet of each other increasingly though its visitors may just be stopping off to see the sights while pursuing a more serious business that was certainly the mood last fall when a delegation of silicon valley entrepreneurs met with other suns top officials to discuss investment opportunities in the russian republic after a long trip from their familiar california confines their hosts were eager to point out that the necessary infrastructure was in place a shipment deal if yes we're doing now is specializing we have been grad that will develop the petrochemical industry has on its way that will specialize in information technology research and development flush we have a facility in the town as comes on the way palomas will be reprocessed and we have specially designated zones for major high tech investment projects are looking like

much of russia to stan's economy is heavily dependent on industrial production accounting for nearly half of the regional g.d.p. within that segment traditional strong suits like mining metal works and oil refining remain the driving force behind the statistics there's a growing interest in modernization across all industries high tech has long played a role in cars ons economy but it i.t. part innovative industry has a shiny new home. to california vent. capitalists also came here to get down to brass tacks on why to their son was worthy of investor attention. push an international companies that have already enjoyed success in the republic made the case in painstaking detail the clear message that the stance economic tide is turning towards a new emphasis on top technology. one of the most economical regions of the russian federation but about sixty percent of. industrial structure

comes from the. chemical industries and one of the main main objectives. only. looking for investments the first. investments. the investment in high tech. and and. as the name should imply some smart investment in the information technology sector has already found fertile ground within id park since our visit last october it's come alive with new tenants in for money close one to rest and that already directly impacts the lives of to understand citizens most notably in a project they realize for the republic's government interested in the buzz around be administration but still largely bogged down in traditional bureaucracy a step towards the solution the end for my kiosk for unified online state services . because a series of strict requirements for the infamous machine a once

a number of specific functions this includes a fool for printing a variety of payment service is documents scanning and a video link up with the cool sensor. from the looks of it be in for much has a lot in common with the automated tellers that pump out our cash or the electronic kiosks where thousands of russians pay their mobile phone or home internet bills and on the whole that's a good thing jews are quicker to adapt to familiar looking hardware but the key elements that said big. amount apart from its look alikes in previous generations are wired in its inner workings of the government asking for monica to incorporate the capacity to pay for sign up for comply for and receive confirmation of a wide range of services provided by an equally broad spectrum of state agencies each of these functions needs it's a new software and hardware design. disgraced by this point we don't know of any competitors that would use this kind of equipment with the same characteristics

some of them have princes with tiny ptrace for example holding only two hundred fifty sheets. the others haven't included a video link with a cool sensor using a single lens reflex camera as a scanner. peyton's his solution over. the camera allows for documents scanning without the only real deep cover other features right at your fingertips you can read your bank cards bar codes and passports full size documents or cashiers receipts and take payment for everything from poverty tax to parking tickets myself. for you know that was developed with silt angles in it in a way current series six or four and she and this later a full scale called model how to recreate it you wish oh it's a focus groups group post his opponents based on individual preferences said whether it was convenient or inconvenient and whether they like tilted slightly only after that did we switch

a bit timid to start making the real thing. in. the next go ahead was given informatica went to local design fabricators to help with much of the new hardware. to tiniest detail protective plates inciting panels have to be perceived in cars and welded from sheets of the desired metals and local workshops have valuable experience in the arena of mass production metalworking. is an interesting example of how a new high technology solutions can support the can. teemu growth of more traditional economic sectors. these in turn benefit from the call to compete for contracts to help with products in a buyer's market expecting higher standards. as a significant number of components involved in monitoring its own state including he never consumption rates the tools. and other parameters for which he. can tell nobody in for my terminals in proper shape and come to the stunning red

white and green informatic he gets down to the nuts and bolts of packing the kiosks full of the electronic communications equipment they need to do their many jobs each of the inputs needs to be suited to the central computer which then needs a connection to the key government payment network some of the solutions seem almost too good to be true with hard drives printers and given the digital camera hardly different from the ones we have around the office but here simplicity is savings we're talking about the ease of supplying servicing and replacing components when staring government buildings all over the republic. there is a wide range of different services provided by these in from up machines the principle time supposed to provide appropriate access to the service to them until various state structures for example is cash based operations are carried out of the right door then only cash handling and security organizations should have access to it or in this case banks or some other specialized organization. over on

this side the only people who change receipt roles in the receipt printer or service these machines will be given access to them and this could be tax collection agencies or some other organizations that have access to the register load isn't a full consequently only organizations that service the terminal should have access to it even if this is also for idling servicing or taking out the camera in the scanner here organizations that service the printer in this case change the contracts load the paper and generally ensure that the printer. operates normally we showed up at the state property registry to see the informatics in action we found them being used by a broad segment of citizens they may have come here for something specific but services related to other administrative divisions were also accessible the pews are getting shorter because of the popularity of these machines and more people are starting to submit applications through the info so they don't have to come here two or three times but instead submit their applications where it's convenient for

them they come to us only took pains to finalize documents according to official figures for the first three months of two thousand and eleven in full my visits have more than tripled their handling nearly twice the volume of inquiries and more than four times the inflow of applications as people realize they could reserve other appointments if it she asked that figure skyrocketed as did the number of payments made to him from out. back i t. park another company has attracted a crowd of potential foreign clients and investors to present their unique integration of the russian glow in the us sat nav system with the software and communications complex coordinates information stuff the stance emergency services such as. russian companies need to be creating in earning money on a regional intellectual property and with that in mind information technologies a sector in selection property concern into products pretty quickly becoming a good source of income that's part of the objective with the glowing us one one two pilot project based hearing because on with the satellite network in place

they're developing and marketing a system to integrate and simplify emergency dispatcher services one one two is the unified emergency phone number for the e.u. and now with russia much like nine one one in north america or ninety nine in the u.k. these operators take those calls and direct urgent information to emergency workers in the field whose locations they can track on the maps generated by the glowing us sat nav system. versions the situations can strike almost anywhere and. any time and the response has to be ready time is precious and this is the mains to cut out steps by getting info straight to the service needed increasing our first response capacity. to. this central design fire station agreed to show us how the new blueness one one two system is impacting their work and the effectiveness of the lifesaving services they provide.

the control room is all computerized with the integration of locally develop sat nav and software producing interactive digital maps of emergency sites and units in the field we didn't light any buildings on fire to test them but the calls came in over the line. if we received a message that the fire rescue line zero one about a road accident where people needed some kind of help we had to dial the police at zero two or the state road traffic inspectorate we had to dial a third number to call an ambulance so we had to carry out all three of these operations in turn now with a new unified one one two system the difference is that dispatchers fill out a single online form they write the address and what kind of help is needed and simultaneously dispatched this information to all services. rushes federal emergency situations ministry plans the future of such systems to look something like this traumatization transmitters in private cars will signal the call center

that an accident has occurred if calls to the glowing us emergency phone in the automobile aren't successful rescue teams are on the ready guide to the scene of the emergency by the same side that network rescuers cut down on time that's crucial to saving endangered lives it may seem a bit far fetched today but not for long transmitters like those being tested by cars on emergency vehicles may be required on russian cars by twenty thirty one she was very interesting and important that separate regions have already lost. projects both on their own initiative and in cooperation with the arab learn a system where creating a live already started and the goals are basically the same but usually the future will combine our developments and experience to create the final quarter of the republican stan has accumulated considerable experience in this field just in local people. who are not one one to inform much both came from because anxiety park but there's two more innovation centers in that city neighborhood and seven across the

capital with focuses in different sectors of the stone spreads out beyond design to include several high tech investment zones in cities like nice new cars and nobody's new show me and women gorst we are located in the sense of the most densely populated area and every second of the russian federation lives within one thousand cologne to distance and today it's very important for the multinational companies that is located in the center of the in the city circle because their main to months in russian state concentrated in this it's a human resources he's one of the chairs in terms of quality quantity and travel according to the surveys there were several in the public with us on this about forty five percent of mosco or even less even lower which case investors the huge flexibility and taxing educating motivating people sixteen hundred new workplaces were created with the two thousand and ten opening of the massive two

necco refinery in use makowski its first teaching anyone else put up seven million tonnes of crude continues to advance tougher stance keep patrolling position petrochemical products like polyethylene and rubber being in time for the stunt which tops forty percent of russia's productivity in both as well as roughly a third of the whole country's tires many of those tires go on to turn to stun me trucks to total thirty percent of russia's output these are either durable kamaz workhorses from the british need show me where. the trucks from the lot will dispense no economic zone because on helicopter factory pumps choppers used around the world and that's just one part of the important aviation sector that's long been top flight in time to stop increasingly modern aviation engineers are building specifically purpose machines propelled by programs or remote guidance systems essentially planes that need no pilot to control their flight path. drawing on over a half century of aviation know how kids on socal experimental design bureau is

making strides in the six pm eastern the tables from its first piloted engine with fighters in the sixty's unpiloted aircraft today. the idea of using drones as flying targets is really quite obvious so you. has embraced so-called design bureau has accumulated a unique experience in this arena so since it was founded this enterprise is designed several generations of on policy and flying target systems machine each of these targets was used by russian armed services and it's time for even the. most recent generation of so-called targets is called done and it's designed to take off from a light mobile launcher for use almost anywhere in military testing in training they can flying groups of up to four stay aloft for over an hour in range from fifty meters to roughly nine thousand meters in elevation weapon systems are complicated and costly so they're fine tuning in functionality are worth the cost of flying

targets but designing a whole arsenal of drone targets for different simulations is overkill so the dynamic is meant to perform is the objective of many different in-flight exercises and the trends are in great simone's not only for the air force but also in the anti aircraft defense schools is they need droids which have the capacity to serve as most weapons are effectively imitating old kinds of mandate kroft is only three hundred fifty kilograms the john m. is pretty light for any aircraft and that's an advantage in a field that values flexibility and ease of transport it just means circles workers have had to develop lightweight electronics and control systems to maximize the flying targets to maneuver ability with a minimum of bad mass to imitate various targets that dunham's engines can generate speeds from three hundred to seven hundred fifty kilometers per hour blasting it out of the sky isn't the only possible goal so it's equipped with a dual parachute recovery system which allows a single target for him to be used up to ten times it can be guided be

a programmed auto pilot or from the remote control center all of these features undergo constant updates. and cheap and more reliable line of control systems has been developed it has pulse all the tests and is. braking successfully in addition and you also a pilot system has been introduced which has significantly improved the quality of flights. so flying targets are so tricky did only about one in every ten gets shot down. each is an exhibition stand for development and testing of navigation and control systems basically the eyes and brains of the drones we designed the ground based test complex consists of computers that control the flight dynamics of a model as well as performance monitoring equipment. and control system installed here is exactly like the real thing now we're going to switch on this equipment. of

control actuators shows how the pilot system reacts to disturbances which we can create with the help of a rotary axis changing the pitch angle of the sensor units and the banking angle this is how we imitate in a cross angle in vertical. we can judge whether the flight control system is ready for operation but changes in the test parameters of the sensor units the substitution of miniature components in control systems has decreased this is the most weight increase the speed of the aircraft increase the maximum fuel payload and the flight range accordingly this a craft can withstand acceleration force of up to nine g. nose dive and pitch up and sustain lateral acceleration forces. it's a flying robot. with all the smart stuff packed into the fuselage it's time to fold everything down. before it can put top weapon systems to test

it john m. has to undergo some pretty stringent testing of its own list of modern russian designed military hardware did john amis help develop is nothing to mess with any food fighter jets twenty nine which is being delivered in a massive contract with india's navy. visu thirty variation developed for the chinese air force and the s four hundred triumph any aircraft system stu moron pilot excitement lies ahead for so-called. new and future unpiloted aircraft we plan to reach an entirely new technological level bush will on the one hand and i was to significantly raise the aircraft and to. be providing a new generation of equipment that allows new hardware and programming solutions. the so-called design bureau is planning to carve out a nice in the already crowded russian drone market will build an unpopulated

multi-purpose aircraft weighing in at about one hundred kilograms so far it's all blueprints behind closed doors but given their past excess the picture looks good going forward in the soviet union kodak moments were brought to you by house about who made their film professor chemical right here at this because on factory today the same site is home to a brand new innovation chemical cluster called him that i think is so cool to take novelis has resurrected over one hundred thirty here cares of mostly have been in brownfield the place of one giant organization decide is establishing a base of innovative small and medium sized petrochemical projects they could help jumpstart economic development across the republic was the new suppose would have to be here are several major petrochemical plants and cars are starting to switch exporter considerable cars of their products most was going to school many of that's why we have seven objective to process at least thirty percent of polymers in the republicans who want it so the jobs taxes and the out of value remain in the

republican economy has been weak it is just here at the hume ground high tech cluster we're creating the necessary conditions for a quick start up for companies to aim to do the kind of work the pleasure process polymers the most the this is their infrastructure has been created a company can count on preferential terms for moving in. premises in a module building like this one which fully meets all safety standards and is fitted out with all modern technological infrastructure of the war if a company is already somewhat larger it can obtain a land allotment with requires utilities where is will be able to record auction facilities or install equipment suitable for its technology quickly and without any holdups to bush it was launched in two thousand and seven today we have a hundred eleven residents and more than four thousand new jobs we sent in a vicious goal to increase the number of companies operating him to at least two hundred with these companies we hope to create a total of ten thousand new jobs wolf as was the bulls in the sixty's each of which is as of today just like shit factory within the human rights complex is the

production facility of the russian flexible packaging company gonna fix if you've been in russia long enough to shop for your favorite condiments there's a good chance they're back in a plastic film produced here in design to put all those products on supermarket shelves these lines pump out kilometers of labeled plastic wrapping each day the hour here is minnie's massive rules of translucent polyethylene film are loaded through these machines with coats of clued safety being layered on progressively as the plastic passes the rollers the machinery is all about perception so that the red writing is exactly the right grid the egg yolks are exactly the right yellow and the vegetables there are natural green in the reels find the fish samples are tested electronically to assure the true colors where does the plastic film come from in the first place. but for some reason the plastics extrusion process everything starts with granules these granules get trucked into special new matic

lines through the hall and interests through just an extrude is the granules get now to down then this melted material gets pulled into the special rotating die and then the film bubble goes up to twenty meters cooling slowly. after that it's pressed by a special collapsing frame and turned into a a school. if not if then this life not film comes back down there it gets cut to the sides amounted to rove's. brainlessness start the whole process are made of cali eslinger the world's most common plastic both clear and white wrinkles produce the corresponding color of packaging material and a clear grain you'll see that supply down a fix for me right down the road a cousin or synthesis russia's biggest polyethylene producer the equipment design is about cooling a plastic film a desire to guess not just because a twenty meter plastic tornado looks amazing plastics extrusion can be performed by many different methods this is called blown film extrusion the volume and pressure

of the air balloon and the massive tube stretches in determining the dimensions of the film that will descend on the rolls it's the most efficient way of producing this kind of film but down the flex has new packaging materials in its sights. recently we've produced mostly known baria packaging based on the polyethylene and polyethylene tariff elements like these for a stand of mayonnaise package also we produce beriah packaging based on the leaving them for oil bubble but foil is rather difficult to process and convert just by bringing it to you can see our dream who did a lot of words processing it by machinery is even harder even worse this material is practically known recyclable will surprise you as a result of the project was started to produce thin film membrane instead of aluminum foil in the project was established together with. through that project we produced the first membrane that has the same barry attributes as aluminum foil body of but with a number of additional advantages it's transparent which allows you to see the

product inside because the most this film is recyclable. so the new membrane will replace traditional foil in highbury or packaging all the same properties at a tiny fraction of the thickness. composite films are also on the menu for the diner flex was not a partnership. produced products mina structured composite materials will go into the mixture from extrusion creating stronger packaging at a lower cost as rusin in a representatives made clear during the california delegations visit last october this project is just digital type of immediate investment we should buy if we believe the agreement we've signed with the works very well very reliably which in the doing we have projects plans of the so-called clean tech sphere including alternative energy solar batteries fuel cells and a number of projects related to biotechnologies and optical components for telecommunications. behind the facade of traditional beauty because on the surrounding region it is focusing on twenty first century functionality if you go

to visit you just my constituents we've only just begun to scratch the surface of the sounds high tech potential but we're at a time for this month in moscow stalling fortunately we can go home to the russian capital knowing it's not the only capital of russian innovation join us for more on the next technology update until then enjoy the ride. home.

i've.
