my name is kevin owen here at r t moscow tonight and these are top stories christians around the world of marking the resurrection of jesus says easter falls on the same day for both orthodox and western worshippers this year these are live images from russia's main cathedral where the patriarchs conducting a special mass attended by thousands of which. it was twenty five years since the chernobyl disaster but one community hit hard by the fallout has endured since having no money to move residents have had to carry on with their lives on

contaminated land we'll bring you this story. civilian casualties continue to climb in libya with the u.s. bringing in unmanned drones to strike government forces meanwhile cafe's troops reportedly retreat from coastal areas leaving the rebels to face tribal opposition instead. programs continue next week catch up on all the latest and greatest in the world of russian high tech enjoy. hello and welcome to technology update this month we're in because it's the capital of the russian republic of cup of stone and a 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 it's visitors may just be stopping off to see the sights while pursuing more serious business that was certainly the mood last fall when a delegation of silicon valley entrepreneurs met with the stones 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 shim and you know if we're doing now is specializing we have read that we'll develop the petrochemical industry has on its. specialize in information technology research and development flush we have a facility in the town as comes only with palomas will be reprocessed and we have specially designated zones for major high tech investment projects are looking like

much of russia touchstones 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 refining remain the driving force behind the statistics there's a growing interest in modernization across all industries high tech is long played a role in cars on economy but it i see parts innovative industry has a shiny new home. to california van. capitalists also came here to get down to brass tacks on why to understand was worthy of investor attention. pushing the international companies that have already enjoyed success in the republic made the case in painstaking detail the clear message that their stance economic tide is turning towards a new in physics on top of technology. one of the most economical regions of the russian federation and sixty percent of. industrial structure comes

from. petrochemical industries and one of the main main objectives. and so i think. we are looking for investment. investments. investment in high tech. and and. the name should imply some smart investment in the information technology sector has already found fertile ground. for monaco's one to rest in that already directly impacts the lives of to understand citizens notably in a project they realized for the republic's government interested in the buzz around you administration but still largely bogged down in traditional bureaucracy a step towards the solution the informant the kiosk for a unified online state service it's. a series of strict requirements for the infamous or famous a once a number of specific functions this includes a fool for printing

a variety of payment services scanning and a video link up with the cool sensor. from the looks of it 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 users are quicker to adapt to familiar looking hardware but the key element it said in from out apart from its look alikes in previous generations are wired in it's in a. the government asking for monica to incorporate the capacity to tafe or sign up for apply 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 whole new software and hardware design. this point we don't know of any competitors that produce this kind of equipment with the same characteristics some of them have princes with tiny trace for example holding only two hundred fifty

sheets. others haven't included a video link with a cool sensor using a single lens reflex camera as a scanner. pates inside solution. the camera allows for documents came in without the only we'll be cover other features right here 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. the first award for a no two was developed what still tangles an ergonomic current serious six or so and she won't but it's later a full scale called model how to recreate it you wish oh it's a focus groups group is opponents based on individual preferences said whether it was convenient or inconvenient and whether they like tilt disliked it only after that did we switch over to missile start making the real thing. the

next go ahead was given informatica went to local design fabricators to help with much of the new hardware. chinese details protective plates and siding panels have to be perceived in color 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 continued growth of more traditional economic sectors. these. in turn benefit from the computer contracts to help the 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. down body of the people might terminals in proper shape and contest on red white and green in for money 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 suitable to the central computer which they need to connection to the government payment network some of the solutions seem almost too good to be true with hard drives printers and even the digital camera hardly different from the ones we have around our office but here simplicity is savings we're talking about the ease of supplying servicing and replacing components once they're in government buildings all over the republic. for a wide range of different services provided by these informal machines the principle time was to provide appropriate access to the service to 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 in this case they have 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 this could be tax collection agencies or some other organizations that have access to the register below that isn't a full print and consequently only organizations that service the terminal should have access to it even if this is also for opening 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 infamous. it's an action we found them being used by a broad segment of citizens they may have come here for something specific which services related to other administrative divisions were also excessive. queues are getting shorter because of the popularity of these machines more and more people are starting to submit applications through the info mats 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 for 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 at a kiosk that figure skyrocketed as did the number of payments made via in from out of. that 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 a software communications complex they coordinates in commands to the stance emergency services. russian companies need to be creating in earning money on a regional intellectual property and with that in mind information technologies a sector where intellectual property can turn 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 done with this 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 russia much like nine one one in north america or ninety nine in the u.k. these operators take those calls and direct the urgent information to emergency workers in the field whose locations they can track on maps generated by the glowing us sat nav system. urgency situations can strike almost anywhere at any time and the response has to be ready time is precious and this is. aims to cut out steps by getting info straight to the service needed increasing our first response capacity. this central cars on fire station agreed to show us how the new bonus 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 developed sat

nav and software producing interactive digital maps of emergency sites and units in the field we didn't want any buildings on fire to test them but the calls came in over the last. three the asli 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 had zero two or the state road traffic inspector and 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 of a write the address and what kind of help is needed and simultaneously dispatch 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 gloominess emergency phone in the automobile are

unsuccessful rescue teams are on the radar guided to the scene of the emergency by the same second 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 launched projects both on their own initiative and in cooperation with the. we're going to a system we're creating live already started and the goals are basically decided to let you know in future will combine our developments and experience to create the final product the republicans stan has accumulated considerable experience in this field just in the open with the study go not one one two and in four months both came from cars on side t. park but there's two more innovation centers in that city neighborhood and seven across the capital with focuses in different take sectors to the stone spreads out

beyond design to include several high tech investment zones in cities like mission accomplished and now british nature me and women of course we are located in the sense of the most densely populated area for. every second citizen 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 moon the cities circle because their main to months in russia today concentrates it's in minutes it's a human resources it's one of the. us in terms of quality quantity and. according to the surveys there were several in there with us on this about forty five percent of all or even less even lower which gives investors the flexibility of the taxing educating motivating people sixteen hundred new workplaces were created with the two thousand and ten opening of the massive two nickel refinery in the east makowski goods first stage again wealth would have seven million tonnes of

crude continues to advance tougher stance keep it rolling position petrochemical products like polyethylene and rubber begin to understand which cost forty percent of russia's productivity and both as well as roughly a third of the whole country's tires many of those tires go on to tamper stun me trucks to total thirty percent of russia's output these are eager to durable commands were courses from the british need show me four feet out trucks from the lot will get special economic zone. sun helicopter factory pumps out choppers used around the world and that's just one part of the important aviation sector debts long been top flight entire stock increasingly modern aviation engineers are building specifically purpose machines propelled by programs or remote guidance systems essentially planes they need no pilot to control their flight path. drawing on over a half century of aviation know how crews on socal experimental design bureau is making strides in this expanding reno next turn the tables from its first piloted

engine list riders in the sixty's to unpiloted aircraft today. which through the idea of using drones is flying targets is really quite obvious or. he 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 unpiloted flying target systems we should each of these targets was used by russian armed services and it's time to move even the. most recent generation of so-called targets is called and it's designed to take off from a light mobile launcher for use almost anywhere in military testing in training they can fly 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 full 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 to mons not only for the air force but also in the anti aircraft defense schools this they need droids which have the capacity to serve as multi weapons affectively emits a single kinds of man tanks. 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 just means circles workers have had to develop lightweight electronics and control systems to maximize the flying targets maneuverability with a minimum of bad mass to imitate various targets the dunham's engines can generate speeds from three hundred to seven hundred fifty kilometers per hour blasting it out of the sky is 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 he can be guided via programmed autopilot or from the remote control center all of these features undergo constant

updates. a cheap and more reliable line of control systems has been developed a couple it has pulse old tests and is. braking successfully in addition and you also a pilot system has been introduced which has significantly improved the quality of flight as. flying targets are so tricky it only about one in every ten gets shot down. three pages an exhibition of 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 the navigation 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 the 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 and lateral plane 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 the system's weight increase the speed of the aircraft increase the maximum fuel payload and the flight range accordingly this is a craft can withstand acceleration force of up to nine g. can nose dive and pitch up and sustain lateral acceleration forces sensually it's a flying robots. with all the smart stuff packed and if you say large it's time to fold everything down. and see if the drone is up to snuff before it can put top weapon systems to the test done him has to undergo some pretty stringent testing of its own list of modern russian designed military hardware that john amis helped

develop is nothing to mess with and includes fighter jets like the made twenty nine which is being delivered in a massive contract with india's navy. this suit thirty variation developed for the chinese air force india s four hundred triumph any aircraft system stu more on pilot excitement lies ahead for sokol. future unpiloted aircraft we plan to reach an entirely new technological level which will on the one hand and i was to significantly raise the aircraft's haleigh and. be providing a new generation of equipment to that allows new hardware and programming solutions . the so-called zine 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 pass excess the picture looks good going forward in the soviet union kodak moments were brought to you by passing away their film for petrochemicals right here at this because on factory today the famed site is home to a brand new innovation chemical cluster called him that the so-called tech novelist has resurrected over one hundred thirty here cares of mostly have been in brownfield the place of one giant organization besides establishing a base of innovative small and medium sized petrochemical projects could help jumpstart economic development across the republic was the new supposed to be here are several major petrochemical plants in charger style just switching sports a considerable part of their products must be just too many of the that's why we have seven objective to process at least thirty percent of the polymers and the republicans do with it so the jobs taxes as the added value remain in the republican economy just we do exist here at the high tech cluster we're creating

the necessary conditions for a quick start up for companies the aim to do that kind of work the pleasure process polymers some of them in this is are used to structure has been created and 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 work if a company is already somewhat larger it can obtain a lot a lot more which requires utilities where it will be able to recreation facilities or install equipment suitable for its technology quickly and without any hold ups the project 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 supposed to fulfill the disease each of which is as of today to flagship 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 backing a plastic film produced hearing because on to put all those products on supermarket shelves these lines pump out kilometers of labeled plastic wrapping each day the item of the hour here is men ace massive rules of translucent polyethylene film are loaded through these machines with code simpler would safety be layered on progressively as the plastic passes the rollers the machinery is all about precision so that the red writing is exactly the right grid the egg told her exactly the right yellow and the vegetables their natural green with the reels finally finished samples are tested electronically to assure the true colors where does the plastic film come from in the first place. we could do with the plastics extrusion process everything starts with granules these granules get trucked into special new matic lines through the hole and interaction judah's and extrude is the granules that melted down then this melted material gets pooled into the special

rotating done and then the film goes up to twenty meters cooling slowly. after that it's pressed by a special collapsing frame and turned into what's called a lie. flats then this lay flat film comes back down there it gets cut to the sides and wanted to row on. the grain rules that start the whole process are made of cali escalate the world's most common plastics both clear and white grain holes produce the corresponding color of packaging material in a clear great gulf that supplied on 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 with the desired thickness not just because a twenty meter plastic tornado looks amazing plastics extrusion can be performed by many different methods this is called bloom film extrusion the volume and pressure of air balloon and the massive tube stretches it 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 done a flex has new packaging materials in its sights. too recently we've produced mostly known barrier packaging based on the polyethylene and polyethylene tariff elements of the like these for a standard mayonnaise package so we produce beriah packaging based on the leave it in 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 what it's processing it by machinery is even harder even what this material is practically known recyclable will supply you as a result a project was started to produce thin film membrane instead of aluminum foil in the project was established together with. through the project we produced the first membrane that has the same barrier says aluminum foil body of the with a number of additional advantages and it's transparent which allows you to see the product inside. this film is recyclable it's because of the new membrane will

replace traditional foil in highbury or packaging all the same properties that a tiny fraction of the thickness. composite films are also on the menu for the gun a flex ross nano partnership. produce products ministration composite materials will go into the mr from extrusion creating stronger packaging at a lower cost as rusin of representatives made clear during the california delegations visit last october this project is just the tip of the innovative investment nice we should buy if we believe the agreement we've signed with works very well very reliably which you know do we have projects drowned in the so-called clean tech sphere including alternative energy solar batteries fuel cells and a number of projects related to player technologies and all tickle components for telecommunications. behind the facade of traditional beauty design in the surrounding region is focusing on twenty first century functionality if you go to visit you just might get your glimpse we've only just begun to scratch the surface

of the sounds high tech potential we're at a time for this month in moscow sprawling fortunately we can go home to the russian capital knowing it's not the only cow but all russian innovation join us for more on the next technology update until then enjoy the right.

living in a country that don't understand that there's more violence in the streets of this country than there are in the streets in afghanistan or baghdad. one of the spring become a brace of them. as a. history of the. crowd gathers momentum and may be an. instant.
