make. welcome back you're watching our d. here is a look at the top stories of the week western military initiatives in north africa backfire at home for the french president already losing public trust over what's described as his colonial ambitions france is also suffering from the envelopes of immigrants from the troubled region as considering suspending the shang border free travel agreements. it's one of years since a deadly explosion at a drilling platform in the gulf of mexico killed eleven and caused a major oil spill the delicate and measurable blow to the environment coastal

residents exposed to toxic chemicals say they've been left to deal with severe health problems all on their own. and christians around the world are united in easter celebrations as this year the fan falls in the same day for all of them in russia thousands walk to service have the country's main orthodox cathedral as both the president and prime minister among the worshippers. next week for how russian innovations are boosting free time so people can get things done unwind instead of waiting in line. hello and welcome to technology update this month we're in cuz it's the capital of

the russian republic of stone and the city of contrasts where religion sing 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 designers sure to take a tour of the city's kremlin it's a unesco 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 more serious business that was certainly the mood last fall when a delegation of silicon valley entrepreneur met with other 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 shipment deal if yes we're doing now is specializing we have been bred that will develop the petrochemical industry has on its way. specialize in information technology research and development we have

a facility in the town as comes only way palomas will be reprocessed and we have specially designated zones for major high tech investment projects are looking like much of russia to the stans 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 hoyle 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 and is on the qana me but it id part innovative industry has a shiny new home. to california venture capitalists also came here to get down to brass tacks on why to understand was worthy of investor attention. question in international companies that have already enjoyed success in the republic made the case in painstaking detail to clear message to them. stunts economic tide is turning towards a new imposition on top technology. one of the most economical

regions of the russian federation it's about sixty percent of. industrial structure comes from the. chemical industries and one of the main main objectives of say. the economy. looking for investment. investments so the investment in high tech. and and. business name should imply some smart investment in the information technology sector has already found fertile ground with the an idea since our visit last october it's come alive with new tenants in for monaco's one to rest in that already directly impacts the lives of to understand citizens notably in a project they've realized for the republic's government interested in the buzz around each of ministration but still largely bogged down in traditional bureaucracy a step towards the solution the can for much for unified online state services with

. the custom assess out a series of strict requirements for the from the show they want a number of specific functions this includes a fool for printing a variety of payment service is human scanning and a video link up with a 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 she asks 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 that in from out 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 signing up for life for and receive confirmation of a wide range of services provided by an equally broad spectrum of state. each of these functions if it's a new software and hardware design. or is at 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 trays 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 is our own paid since it solution. the camera allows for documents came in without the own we'll be cover other features right here fingertips you can read your bank cards bar codes and passports printed full size documents or cashiers receipts and take payment for everything from poverty tax to parking tickets myself the. first award for you know to was developed westfeldt angles an ergonomic current series six or four and she wound its way into a full scale called old model that's recreated you wish showed it to focus groups and group of the voters opponents based on individual preferences said whether it

was convenient or inconvenient and whether they like to look disliked it only after that did we switch over to mental start making the real thing not only. that go ahead was given informatica went to a local design fabricators to help with much of the new hardware. the tiniest detail protective plates and siding panels have to be for sitting cars and welded from sheets of the desired metals and local workshops alue bowl 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 call to compete for contracts to help with products in a buyer's market expecting higher standards. than that it's a man who has a significant. components involved in monitoring its own state including things never consumption rates the tools. and other parameters just.

tell the body of the informant terminals in proper shape and come to stun red white and green informatica 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 seated up to the central computer which then need the connection to be a key 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 when staring government buildings all over the republic. there is a wide range of different services provided by these initial not machines the principle time supposed to provide appropriate access to the service terminal for 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 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 and this could be tax collection agencies or some other organizations that have access to the register below those in a four person consequently only organizations that service the terminal should have access to it and even if this is also for opening servicing or taking out the camerons here organizations that service the prince 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 excessive. cusick at. sure 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 call them they come to us only took fifteen 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 the inquiries and more than four times the inflow of applications as people realize they could reserve other appointments and pick she asks and that figure skyrocketed as did a 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 such as the with russian companies need to be creating in earning money on original intellectual property and with that in mind information technologies a sector in selection of probity 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 this satellite network in place they're developing in 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 their version information to emergency workers in the field whose locations they can track on the maps generated by the glow on a sat nav system. emergency situations can strike almost anywhere at any time and the response has to be ready time is precious and this is to mange 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 develop 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 way. 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 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 and 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. russia's federal emergency situations ministry

plans the future of such systems to look something like this drama is a should transmitters in private cars will signal the call center that an accident has occurred if calls to the gloominess emergency phone and automobile aren't successful rescue teams are on the ready guided to the scene of the emergency by the same side network rescuers cut down on time it'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 and she was very interesting and important that separate regions have already launched projects both on their own initiative and in cooperation with the arab world in a system like creating the already started and the goals of basically the same. will combine our developments and experience to create the final court in the republic of tatarstan. has accumulated considerable experience in this field just an open field of study glow not one one to inform much both came from because on

side the park but there's two more innovation centers in that city neighborhood and seven across the capital with focuses in different tax sectors to the stones for example beyond bizarre to include several high tech investment zones in cities like new commerce nomination to show me and women of course it's in the most densely populated area and every second citizen of the russian federation lives within one thousand clung to distance and today it's very important for the multinational companies. located in the center of the moon the city because the maintenance and russian state concentrated in minnesota human resources he's one of the. us in terms of quality quantity and travel according to the. travel with us on this about forty five percent or even less. which case

investors the huge flexibility as you face in motivating people sixteen hundred new workplaces were created with the two thousand and ten opening of the mass internet go refinery in each new cost its first stage again you will put up seven million tonnes of crude continues to advance tougher stance keep control and position petrochemical products like polyethylene and rubber big and tougher standards 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 turn to stone made trucks to total thirty percent of russia's output these are either durable come ons workhorses from the british need show me or fiar trucks from the a lot of discretion or economic zone. because on helicopter factory pumps out choppers used around the world and that's just one part of the important aviation sector that's long been top flight in time for stock increasingly modern aviation engineers are building specifically. purpose machines by program serve remote guidance systems essentially planes that need no pilot to control their flight path

. drawing on over a half century of aviation know how close on socal experimental design bureau is making strides in this expanding in reno has turned the tables from its first piloted engine with fighters in the sixty's and piloted 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 unpiloted flying saw it systems mission and each of these targets was used by russian armed services and it's time for. 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 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 demand 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 molten weapons are effectively imitating old 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 so cools workers have had to develop lightweight electronics and control systems to maximize the flying targets maneuverability with a minimum of added 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 drone 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 are going to achieve and more reliable line of control systems has been developed i thought it was possible and test and gaze. braking successfully and edition and you say pilot system has been introduced which has significantly improved the quality of flight as. flying targets are so tricky they don't worry about one in every ten gets shot down . three pages an exhibition 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 the 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. of we can judge whether the flight control system is ready for operation but changes in the test parameters of the sensor the substitution of miniature components in control systems decrease the systems 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 nosedive. 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 done him 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 and includes fighter jets twenty nine which is being delivered in a massive contract with india's navy. this suit thirty variation developed for the chinese air force and the s four hundred triumph any aircraft system stu more on pilot excitement lies ahead for so called. when you would on 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 end of the tail end of. providing a new generation of equipment to that allows new hardware and programming solution . the so-called design bureau is planning to carve out

a niche in the already crowded russian drone market they'll build an unpopulated multi-purpose aircraft weighing in at about one hundred kilograms so far it's all blueprints behind closed doors given their pass excess the picture looks good going forward in the soviet union kodak moments were brought to you by house who made their film professor chemical right here at the scott factory today the face site is home to a brand new innovation chemical cluster called him that the so-called tech novelist's has resurrected over one hundred thirty had pairs of mostly again in brownfield the place of one giant organization besides establishing a base of innovative small and medium sized petrochemical projects they could help jumpstart economic development across the republic was the new supposed to be here are several major petrochemical plants in charger style which is what you support a considerable part of their products most as we just one of those of us why we

have seven objective to process at least thirty percent of polymers in the republicans who did so the jobs taxes as the added value remain in the republican economy this week it is just a few of the humor out high tech cluster we're creating the necessary conditions for a quick start up for companies that aim to do that kind of work at the pleasure process polymers at the moment and then this is their infrastructure 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 for if a company is already somewhat larger it can obtain a land allotment with requires utilities where is will be able to record ocean facilities or install equipment suitable for its technology quickly and without any hold ups suppose it was lost 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 in him to at least two hundred with these companies we hope to create

a total of ten thousand new jobs wolf this was the proposal and this it is each of which is as of today a deflection 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 hearing is on to put all those products on supermarket shelves these lines compel kilometers of labeled plastic wrapping each day the item of the hour here is minis massive rolls of translucent polyethylene film are loaded through these machines with code simpler safety being 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 yolks are exactly the right yellow and the vegetables there are natural green with the reels find the fish samples are tested electronically to assure the true color where does the plastic film come from in the first place. because throughout the plastics extrusion process

everything starts with granules these granules get trucked into special here matic lines through the hole and interaction and extrude is the ground you get now to down then this melted material gets cooled into the special rotating johnny 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. then this lay flat film comes back down there it gets cut to the sides and wound into ropes on the. brain used to start the whole process are made of kali s.l.e. the world's most common plastic both clear and white great holes produce the corresponding color packaging material and a clear grain you'll see that supplied on a fix for me right down the road a cousin or seen fishes russia's biggest polyester 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 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 done a flex has new packaging materials in its sights. so recently we produce mostly known by area packaging based on the polyethylene and polyethylene tariff eligible like these for a standard mayonnaise package also we produce beriah packaging based on the lead in for oil bubble but foil is rather difficult to process and convert just by bringing it to you can see. 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 that project we produced the first

membrane that has the same barry attributes as aluminum foil by the of the with a number of additional advantages mean it's transparent which allows you to see the product inside because. this film is recyclable. so the new membrane will replace traditional foil in highbury or packaging all the same properties in a tiny fraction of the thickness. composite films are also on the menu for the donna flex rossano partnership. produce products mina structure composite materials will go into the mixture from extrusion creating stronger packaging at a lower cost. representatives made clear during the california delegations visit last october this project is just the tip of the innovative investment we should buy if we believe the agreement we signed with works very well very reliably which in the doing we have projects ground in the so-called clean tech sphere including alternative energy solar batteries fuel cells and a number of projects related to biotechnologies 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 catch a glimpse we've only just begun to scratch the surface of the sounds high tech potential for out of time for this month in moscow sprawling fortunately we can go home of 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 ride . in the czech republic and he's available in a hotel and science central hotel prima vera the nissan most regal full stop by you to which i am a taste in bosnia and herzegovina available in. children of each. cubic. foot you know period hotels you have enough cold air
