and have capitalism with all this theocratic kind of middle aged crusades going on seems like a reverting back to the dark ages politically and economically because we simply don't have the capital the sport capitalism anymore but anyway james howard kunstler that's all it's on for we have thanks so much for being once again on the kaiser reports you're welcome to be here all right and that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and stacy herbert and i want to thank my guest james howard kunstler you want to send me an e-mail please just to report that r t t v are you until next time this is.

still stories president barack obama signs the last minute deal to raise the u.s. debt ceiling after the senate finally with a measure to avoid default but critics say there's little to cheer about as america still faces it can only cover. the u.n. security council resumes discussions on a resolution on syria after a bloody government crackdown on protesters in hama continues for a day with more demonstrators reported to sunday's death toll of more than one hundred russia says any doing decision must be driven by the interests of the syrian people. labelled antigovernment protests demanding sweeping economic reform but demonstrators complain. by the international. headlines up next turns the spotlight on the man in charge

of russia's also. set to go where no one has. well let me. bring you the latest in science and technology from the realms of rush . we've got the future covered. hello again a welcome to spotlight the interview show on our t.v. i'm al gore and today my guest is. g.p.s. the global positioning system developed in the united states has long been the only

functioning and reliable worldwide navigation system put recently russia introduced its own system called global so it's satellites are meant to see areas where g.p.s. does it to get that they could guide us from space over every inch of terrain but as it happened i mean the development and the copper ration care is the director general that stand a geisha systems will cost. the positioning system has been functioning put two years in this short time it's had some positive feedback from outside of russia the swedish company says glonass operates better than g.p.s. in northern latitudes but there have been some problems with the long ass satellites three new ones crashed into the ocean on their way to the orbit this accident cost some space officials their jobs and the criticism from the president . was

a little while to show well after this criticism from the president that we just heard after they leave the serious of scandals connected to to develop and was there a major rethink of the project will there be any change in the glow nice program. first of all i would like to point out the the go on hours and any settle it in a given system is a very complex. technical system and. sometimes these kind of accidents happen so in the future we are not planning to change to change our projects. we believe the project is very well but a success very good it is successful and the major tasks where following are now. the. be the this speeding up of

development of the system and the limitation well the the the total fool each of satellites for glow now should be twenty four you know you lost three cell lives recently you planning to launch new ones when will you get here twenty four satellites and this year we're planning to launch six more said lloyd's and now we have tried to say one set of ways and the orbit. there are three year backup satellites on the one and you settle a new generation of satellites which is which is being tested the moment. we believe. in a few months who will have we're trying to force it away it's this number is enough to cover the goal so by the end of this year you will be fully equipped and ready to ready to to to cover the global growth by the end of the year we will have even one set of weights including some work up so little of that

couple ok the well as far as i remember the argument when they started developing the global system was that it's needed for the armed forces will be there because a great superpower as russia is having its big armed forces could rely on a foreign positioning system so. today the russian armed forces are not yet equipped with us when will glow in our spare positioning systems become standard issues for the russian army when will it become independent from there from the american g.p.s. in fact it is a independent already. for the courage of russia we need only. he to unsettle its medium said words as enough to cover the russian territory but now i'm we develop the end user equipment that can work with two systems with one

nasa engineers. these dual system equipment. as we believe. give the cost of the user more of a liability and accuracy so this is the major technology technology will try. and settle it never given. the usage of the use of two system one. i just just crossed my mind that it would have been a very good answer for example if you said that the russian army uses learners on its own territory to position and the army russian army doesn't need a positioning system outside the russian jerry that it would have been explained at i hope so by the way and we all hope so ok well as to gloat or sunlight those eighteen or whatever you have today nineteen they are already used today intensively i mean they are functioning or they just ready to start being

operational the can some of the console is on the set of words or two to be used but now we need to develop the. chipsets. for the devices to be used. for different applications so within two or three years. we're supposed to develop a few different locations and devices for this evil. purposes for the military purposes for fleet management system so for many others so when they started developing learned here they said well a g.p.s. is ok but the two systems together will give super precision when they work together and carp ration i can like one it will allow us to position people whoever up to inches wildland ass is being developed g.p.s. itself is very developed today where for example in your car wherever it gives you

a couple of years this is why. than enough do people have to meet to pay more i mean they did the users the consumers to get even better precision they didn't need it real well they do it depends on the. years of for many politicians where mission critical. you need better preseason better accuracy to go on hours appears. in the used for many years already and look what where do you need inches you need inches for a jew a days a complication is for cryptography for car duster to be keeshan when you need inches just as you mentioned but. in these professional occasions dual system equipment and when i was dipping have been used for many years already but for the consumer market the go on os. is just about to be used. gives the go on our g.p.s.

equipment works better. in this it is when you have big buildings. and. due to the. better accuracy in a way belittle you can see more subtle ways. and also. works better. in the mountains for example which is also very important for some p.k. sions so. g.p.s. is not really perfect and for many countries it's important to be independent from military system and we feel that we see the demander in different countries due to a few basic reasons the better quality of the positioning and the independence. from one system doesn't. military want to have their own position system i can understand that but the american army it relies on g.p.s.

just as the other armies is it possible technically for americans to switch off for example the russian army or the serbian army you ever switch them off let us g.p.s. but continue using g.p.s. for their own soldiers i think this is this is not possible is it for a little any sort of system. and g.p.s. services personal more the operation has a serial called and it has a military code with a limited access for more users. in your. generation of. there will be the possibility to switch off the signal. above some special territory when it's needed the development of russia's global satellite navigation system has been a decades long struggle to overcome obstacles spotlight yelena the media has more

and us. the goon ass program was begun in the mid one nine hundred seventy s. and managed to survive the collapse of the u.s.s.r. but in one thousand nine hundred five all the satellites necessary for the systems functioning were in place however the economic crisis of the one nine hundred ninety s. led to the system's gradual degree day by the beginning of two thousand and one on the six out of the twenty four set lights were operational it took the russian space agency nine years to get google nast back on track and eugénie ration of moonglow lost in and more sophisticated satellites have been built and it seemed to goodness was only a step from completion to launch of three said the lights failed they didn't to reshuffle at russia's space agency the missing satellites are however not the only

problem the system is facing another one is a lack of digital maps for russia they're on a valuable for big cities producing digital maps for all the provinces they become the largest investment when asked over the next two years. when all know that one of the best advertising advertising ideas for glass was when. put his dog got a special special glow as navigator and that this is one of the. best well known gadgets that we have in russia here he is carney but does lois lerner's system but how soon will a normal and normal russian citizen if he's not the dog of the prime minister enter a supermarket and buy a glow this gadget when it will be commercially available. thank you for mentioning

this unique opportunity there was no way i mean it. was for the fun of four. for somebody but for our company it was a very difficult. experiment because a few years ago it was quite difficult to find the appropriate zippier of the chipset to deal in these devices. but. coming back to your question this year. we've come. if you devices. portable navigation devices for. presented at the beginning of the year but if your company is. the beginners. are already in the shops but we believe that they will be we will need a few more years to develop. come by the consumer products.

g.p.s. has been on the market for twenty years. the development of a consumer product just one of three years ago so you need to use two to two to develop a market for for the letter that so we need so much time says alexander who to call the director general of the globe and that's navigation system the spotlight will be back after we take a short break then go say way your. the people of the states and our friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an hour long regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder is a regime as an active program to acquire and develop nuclear weapons and let there be no doubt about we know for

a fact that there are let's say. this were just being carried out into the direction of dr david kay respected scientist and former u.n. inspector was leading the weapons search in iraq we are determined to take this apart we have a tremendous a group of dedicated american men and women involved in this with the best assets of the intelligence community can provide. data cheney is not going to be done with this for quite some time david kay wants more time and he says it could take another six to nine months to make a definitive finding ministration is asking congress for hundreds of millions more are six hundred million dollars to fund a continuing search we have not yet found shiny pointy things that i would call a weapon before we can draw from conclusions we need to let the iraq survey group complete its work. we were all wrong probably in my judgment. and that is most disturbing. sometimes the true

patriots. takes the unpopular course but helps a country of wooden stakes and even if they come this way and these things that patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels and i think these are scoundrels they have no argument now they have no defense for what they did the country is in a terrible international security situation that i think is perilous so they're attacking the patriotism of others. mission free could you take should be free in-store charges free. range month free. three stooges free. download free broadcast quality video for your media projects free media john darche dot com. wealthy british scientists not.

likely. market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cancer the no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kinds a report on our. welcome back to spotlight time i'll get off just to remind you that my guest in the studio today is alexander because the director general of the globe navigation system. when will glow in ass navigation. get the full set of maps of

the russian territory i know that well at least a couple of weeks ago you still didn't have this this is true. there are a few companies. and also some global company was developing the maps for. the. maps. so we don't see a lot of obstacles so commercialised goal must technology. in this area. of course i would like some if you russian company was to become leaders in this market. were planning to stimulate. if you chose a company is to develop the position in this area but the moment there's a massive that we don't see a lot of problems in this market i remember that in the soviet times

maps were of great secret i mean i mean you couldn't buy maps of some vast territories of the say the kenyan because of military secrets is it still a problem in russia where the or where it's not no longer a problem actually the russian irrigation market started four years ago when this secrets. were removed in this industry in this area and now we don't have g.p.s. because because because google google because it was obvious for everybody to those figures and they were not relevant anymore. so the moment we don't see we don't have this problems there are some secrets and secretary stories. military. people. have other ways to. guarantee this secret i've read it in the paper is that starting in two thousand and thirteen all new

cars i mean automobiles in russia on the russian market will be equipped with area glow nasa navigators how much will it cost and one will it be and a necessary additional and desirable expense for the consumer. the estimated price for these embedded devices is about one from a dollars for for for divorce and these projects were initiated by our company and supported by the president and by the government. because of this project will to save more lives in the accidents in europe for. the same project was started developed in the developing a few years ago and it was the name of the project is he called emergency call a similar project. is being deployed in. brazil.

and one of the tasks solving from one is asian or sanders or the requirements between the european russian and brazilian systems but that isn't trying to make people buy something make it obligatory making people pay for it and making them pay for glow thus instead of g.p.s. making the choice for them isn't it's a violation of consumer rights. we don't think so the we don't think that this is the violation of the consumer it's. it's completely opposite we are trying to. to guarantee better security and safety in the end there on the roads for our people for our citizens and. we may discuss the

additional burden for our common affection and this project because a actually this is the responsibility of a common affection is to build in these systems in their cars but for consumers it's up to them if they get connected to the service to the system or not if so it's up to their choice then there is the choice is still up to the consumer if he doesn't want to pay for it he may not pay for it ok now in their in their twisted the same question as there are speculations are fears that the government may impose additional customs barriers for g.p.s. equipment afterglow ness becomes hundred percent operational if that happens this means that this may mean extreme protectionism can you cut their comment to that there are some initiatives from russian borders official borders to increase their

custom duty as for g.p.s. based equipment. we believe that this is these kind of measures sometimes can be applied to. stimulate the local technologists but. it should be done very carefully. in order to avoid the damage for the market. price increase or in some cases. it's these kind of measures they appropriate. the technology of the industries are rated to replace imported goods. in the country. we will see what will happen by the end of the year and all that the minister of and also development is planning to introduce of this kind of measures and this is the good thing about about g.p.s.

which we all news and even i'm sure i have used the least once is that you can go wherever you want specially in europe you can go from country to country using the same device even if you go far away just by a new chip and you have the new map will it be the same with lowness will you be able to use it outside russia wouldn't it be much more expensive to use less or you'd rather need to go to europe. it can be used anywhere and most of the maner of european developers and producers and for them to go on our g.p.s. equipment already and that all of them have their old maps their plans for development do more the quick munt in different types of devices and portable they usually do worse is a mobile phones trackers and some other systems is g.p.s. willing to to cooperate with you are they glad that you exist are they are they had

be about being forced to make those g.p.s. their years we do corporate was g.p.s. developers. were trained to harmonize our standards. to make it easier for customers for users to work with both systems and also. china and europe for developing their own systems comp us early on so this. this world is getting it would be easy for such a way to get in systems well i would call this competition but you haven't mentioned the word competition for the last twenty minutes why isn't it a competition from your point of view yes there is the competition between go on nasscom parse and girly on. all of these systems. be available for and into the g.p.s. and to be comfortable why why because g.p.s.

because they're going to eat you up. otherwise we will not achieve the results to improve the quality of the service do foreign countries. show any interest in your program in the blood test program which countries and of course. if you agree minister has been signed by the space agency with. man a different country. with. cuba. counters from the middle east from. our company. works sort of closely with the indian partners for us in brazil and the middle east the key markets thank you thank you very much for being with us and just remind that my guest today on the show has your questions was alexander will call the director

general of the grown as navigation systems we talked about the development of the russian analog to g.p.s. a russian global positioning system called gloves and that's it for now from all of us here if you want to have your sales spotlight we have someone in mind to let you think i should get to you next time to drop me a line at al green or at r t g r u and let's keep spotlight interactive movie back with more comments on what's going on in and outside russia until then stay on our team and take the place of.
