you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then he lives something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm charming welcome to the big picture. on. a very warm welcome to you this is your news today protesters on a bold print they have. ladies and gentlemen your chance to choose seems to be good books that the status of the human experiments gives. you a whole business rap music or ticks or goes to the movies lately trying to make

sense of local economies and it's all changed things as financial template the reason to maintain our confidence in markets in taking on wants to be seems way to balance is recession look maybe missions close to collapsing or so close. to fail circlet banks again feel like thing is a us crash and imminent. killing seems to me is like putting it in the position three the i.m.f. strikes me i'm just programs increase the total economy by. the five.

hello and welcome just as the leaves here are starting to change color we on technology are changing things around as well in this episode will be highlighting some of the biggest developments in russian science and technology from just the past few weeks. our first stop this month takes us to the annual forum hosted by rusinow no less is leading nano technology company and many of its partners are showing off all the latest developments both big and small how does gathering in moscow at the end of october there are new products ranging from a nano printer that can create images on water to the newest innovations in nano medicine and cutting edge energy production there's even a friendly robot to answer all the participants questions as well as the so-called futurist or who equipped with aidid bring us one step closer to world free from

long checkout lines there's plenty to please the eye here at the roof nanotech forum but for us the star of the show is this much hyped the plastic logic one hundred company execs hope that this winter device will eventually work place traditional school textbooks this sixteen ounce device can replace by future stacks of text entire libraries worth of books several regional governments have already started trials in schools around russia. as in the. original the company was far. from. being the first. place to create grants for three m. and. together with the company. from the russian. regions. suitable for this. this will be the largest transfer

in the world. because there was this reader. it's also so just progression with other voices. but until that plan is how to run the new devices what we built here at plastic the largest existing production facility certainly the most important breakthrough this electronic reader is under breakable plastic backplane traditionally electronic books and tablets are fitted with a glass back screen which are prone to break in relatively easily the first generation of displays have been made from stainless steel oil or the company's so-called plastic paper technology this electronic book is lighter and more durable than ever. but one of the possibilities for using this in the classroom. has some benefits compared to the paper for example you can. define the content of.

the whole set of books or you can them all you know in the home web or if you knew this particular doris those books for six and so it's great so this is the. other advantages of to come and of course there has been some criticism that a black and white display may not be the best to use for school textbooks you know for something like the history of art maybe black and white isn't that that's true but what do you think about that question of course print is not the best option and interests of some subjects like biology or it would be good to her of course princeton the book and was well this is different. and so on the question of the case of education we understood the just from this book because in this case the screen can complete people. which means a much easier to read and so much more so for the eye so for.

your poor this is the west the roots nano isn't the only russian company coming out with an innovative new digital leader. given the fact of the country is home to one of the most literate added reading populations the market for more traditional a comic books is certainly an attractive one on the moscow metro you're sure to find one of your fellow passengers putting open pizz or her trusty reader and in russia there's a good chance that one of them was made by wexler because the company offers traditional readers with cheaper breakable glass backstreet it's about to launch it's over the police. but the latest plastic backplane technology and considering where the consumer markets heading this little reader could make a big splash what's the future of the e-books market in your opinion. first of all it's a growing markets it's the fastest growing segments in the on scene destry with a hundred percent annual increase over the last three years and this year alone we expect more than

a million e-book devices to be sold in russia and terms of trends flexibility is definitely the one and we will continue to produce flexible displays that. will be used in educational institutions there for the displays large not compact because it needs to comply with standards when you couple them we are all for a genuinely compact reader which has a flexible body as well as display. our target audience is a broad one any kind of consumer can use it. as will be for sale for everyone. but that's. what the market seems to have spoken regarding general the readers there's no shortage of different approaches to integrating digital technology in the classroom the latest trend here seems to be high tech tablets which range from the expensive name brands to the remarkably cheap.

in recent weeks there's been one piece of news in the world of science that has the potential to change how we understand just about everything around us it seems from our. train of faster than light could this be the biggest development in physics since einstein's day well it's all relative. here in two russian scientists are doing their part to find out if that little particle actually does go as fast as it appears what these tiny particles lack in size they make up for with their potential to explain things yet unknown on. neutrinos play a crucial role in the theory of evolution of the universe. because. certain stages this particle could become the main vehicle for transporting energy from an object. for.

now they're still not completely understood but much of what we do know about neutrinos comes from this research center here the laboratory for nuclear problems back in the mid one nine hundred fifty s. italian plans of course moved to do the research neutrinos during his life he was responsible for some of the biggest theoretical breakthroughs in the field of neutrino physics as a result and this. has remained at the center of the discipline to this very day. our laboratory takes part in many international experiments that involve studying. the work on discovering and measuring new yet unknown characteristics. of the operating experiment. operates heavy lifting is done at institutes in russia in france none of their work would be possible without the european

organization for nuclear research from the facilities underground here billions and billions of particles are created several times a day using the super proton synchrotron the accelerated protons are sent along a tunnel where many turn into moon one of neutrinos the pint sized particles are then focused into a beam that since them through the earth directed at a detector seven hundred thirty kilometers away the thirteen hundred ton detector in italy is made up of one hundred fifty thousand bricks of a motion film plates the unexpected discovery about neutrino speed may have grabbed the headlines but it's actually just a side experiment under most circumstances neutrinos travel in a straight line and when they break down and observable move lepton and a few other particles the crucial thing here is that the want to breaks off straight from the path of the neutrino in two thousand and ten however they finally saw what they were looking for they found educate and. to say that i'm the one left

appears not directly from the path of the one of the tree no that little gap or killed the physicist that opera believe show that i'm the one that neutrino oscillated into a towel on that one which then gave rise to a towel lepton vindicate into the moon left on the among other things this is important for understanding of the fundamental basis of our existence as fairly mysterious that the universe is of old in this way at the moment i mean that the reason almost no answer neutrino physics could give us a clue and help to explain this fact so long as the neutrino remains so important and so mysterious business is like those here and we'll keep toiling away trying to peel back our ignorant sliver apply sliver for the time being these scientists have more than enough on their plate whether be trying to find further evidence of neutrino oscillation or checking and double checking the surprising results to grant sasso if these neutrinos are found to be able to break the universal speed

limit it could lead to a major rethinking a mini aspect of modern physics. dependent experiments proving that neutrinos speed is faster than the speed of light revolutionize our conception of the world and now everything was based on this sumption that the speed of light is the talk for lost at sea that nature has devised to communicate a signal and it's difficult to predict how science will change. the main thing to do now is to make sure initial results have been correct. prior. believing all that high minded particle physics stuff behind for now we've come back down to earth. and our focus being on an innovative russian solution to the problem of pesticide related pollution. or more closely associated with industrial agriculture in. this is eyes are just as much of

a threat in cities and that's what a group of russian environmentalist got together to highlight here in gorky park in the middle of september. right here in russia these green advocates hope to breathe new life into the ground in more ways than one. amongst other facts the substance cuts the level of toxic elements in the soil and at the same time plant growth it can be used to seize treatment and shoots emerging much earlier it produces a general wholesome the fact that balances out the soil when we conduct our cleanup operations we take samples to identify contaminants and concentration levels and then pick the right dose and application right. science behind this products didn't appear overnight biologists ten years developing the right bacteria strain that would attack a wide range of harmful pesticides the same time remain in effect against. the

effort to come up with the right spirit here at moscow state university those responsible for this breakthrough product called. the powder with water activates the destructor bacteria and. immediately attacks the remaining effects of harmful pesticides in a matter of weeks. killing poisons are. quite complicated. it's surprisingly simple. and now we're sprinkling a special solution over the contaminated plot of land it's a biological consisting of activated cells of strains of bacteria destructive it's been designed to destroy pesticides just aside time is now on the u.n. list of toxic contaminants that are banned from use. this year russia rectified the u.n. sponsored stockholm convention on persistent organic pollutants under the treaty

there's a list of twenty substances that are considered hazardous and now a genocide kills about eight hundred nine thousand of them in russia some two hundred thousand tons of pesticides are still stored especially refused almost the same amount is buried under the ground in many russian regions the raw stuff region out-i region moscow region and of our own history can. undermine our people aware of the risks of using pesticides we see that people are not indifferent they want to make a difference and i believe it will soon become more popular as interest in a greener planet grows by zero russia will be there to help foster such beliefs at their office in moscow they're trying to raise awareness actually using social networking sites to give a craze a comic to bring their message to a wider younger audience and this minister graphic novel little league greek is warned of the dangers of pesticides which leads her to a life of science to try and break their hold on earth of course her efforts run up against hopeful forces determined to stop her and all her green activists dreaming

of a planet free from dangerous pesticides record project philosophy is based on very simple things that every person can understand it's only a joint effort to help us restore the environmental balance on the planet thanks to bio russia and phenolics places such as gorky park and moscow state universities patella gardens are becoming cleaner and cleaner greener awareness is on the rise in russia but lately there's been something else on a lot of people's minds. the talk of the towel lately here in moscow has been got of the bolshoi theater is grand reopening the russian engineers responsible for this massive undertaking await on the latest technology to make this world renowned performance help bigger and better than ever.

after six long years of waiting russia's most famous theater is opening its doors to the public again at the end of october despite some early setbacks both engineers and r. does it have been working around the clock to get moscow's iconic theatre ready in time for its much anticipated reopening crystal chandelier zur glistening again the interior is more respondent than it's ever been when visitors come in for their first look they're sure to be amazed by all the work that's gone into the renovation and those concerns the biggest of tasks down to the smallest detail those behind all the changes are certain that thanks to both ancient methods and new technology seeing a show at the new bolshoi would be like nothing you've ever experienced before you critics have been vastly improved and noble innovations in theatre technology will allow directors to do things only dreamed of until now sure displays a great is what everyone's talking about now but it certainly hasn't been the

bolshoi's first facelift the original theatre called the bolshoi imperial burned down in eighteen zero five twenty years later the bolshoi patrol state was built in its place the theater going to distinctive main facade and named after rid of asians ahead of a coronation of alexander the second the current restoration work is to correct damage done over the previous eighty years. were underway back in two thousand and five all the project was ambitious enough to start with nobody had any idea just how big of a job ahead once they got down to business it was discovered that the damage to the theater was much greater than previously thought white cracks were discovered through the walls and the buildings foundation had been reduced to mere rubble engineers say the building was seventy five percent unstable. at the beginning of the builders or restorers had an idea of the amount of work that eventually needed to be done that's because they got the opportunity to assess the state of the walls

in the foundation only in two thousand and five after the theater had been closed the walls were about to collapse and it was decided to put the building on a thousand piles or steel pillars that held it up in the air the builders have to remove the remaining foundation blocks piece by piece structure wasn't capable of holding the building anymore it was in such a critical condition that the theater would have easily collapsed the replacement of the substructure took three years it was then apparent that the problems could have been solved by implementing complex engineering projects. in two thousand and nine suman group became the largest shareholder in the firm responsible for the massive project seumas main task was to sort through all the problems that had arisen and get work back on schedule based on the progress from the past few years it's clear the company was more than up to the task easing statues have been restored to their original chlorine the famous a polished quadriga that adjoins the entrance was repaired for the first time in over one hundred years the fears historic bills were given new luster thirty five

of them including one dating back to the early sixteen hundreds were hoisted back up to the theaters unparalleled belltower. massive amounts of gold was put in place by skilled russian artisans specially trained experts were brought in from all over the country to upright over three thousand square feet of gold filling the interior of a certain shimmer oh but last decades ago the gilding was late using a particularly russian tactic dating back to medieval times involving a white clay and get this vodka the bolshoi it was made over from head to toe with nothing left untouched the final project demanded tons of metal stone rebar and concrete to put the whole building back on firm footing. but the renovations were just concrete and steel. after years of neglect beautiful fabrics that once the pride of the bolshoi had to be replaced the size the glimmering gold leaf through

out the most noticeable update is the redone plush interior here in the renamed coral hall employer cloth panels have been badly damaged over the years major work was needed to give these textiles a new lease on life. however some fabric items had to be completely remade from scratch for the biggest of these jobs the bolshoi looked about four hundred miles southeast of moscow a historic russian textile company was tasked with the gargantuan feat of totally recreating one of the bolshoi's most prized possessions. textile mill in the kinzer region still the fabric workers but their know how and you need machinery to the test they might not employ the absolute latest technology they lose here are matchless in their ability to produce a large scale high quality bricks one hundred fifty years of the mills experience were needed to totally reconstruct one of the grandest objects of the theater because roy do they ghaleb curtains and that was

a task only source for deliver on. the a ring a couple of bucks initially the brochure theatre said the following requirements for kenshin contract is the fabric catch the twenty thousand reasons why not contain any scenes from the first part of the tenth it was also a german company among the competitors who offered a fabric made of two pieces but stitched together by some hidden in conspicuous theme and the bolshoi theater that he refused saying it had to be a single fabric of top notch quality without any savings the other reason he won the tender was that this is a unique type of aluminum and the six of them made in the world and only two is still up and running one here in swords and the other in the us. thanks to the know how and machinery here in sourced the fifteen hundred pound guy. well i give it proudly wilson spectators to the theater for the first time since eighty ninety six the original curtain which depicts the triumphant arrival of medieval military

leaders media and has had to be taken down over a century ago due to wear and tear ours is remaking the ethnic curtain nothing more than two surviving documents of the original should go off well one was an archival photograph the other a hand painted edging dating back to the. artist's labors on the curtain only possible because of the skilled textile workers. have to be works by hand even the slightest mistake means that machines have to be shut down and work has to be done to correct the error of this beautifully redone curtain is one improvement that will be apparent to everyone in the audience while it may not be evident straight away out here on the back side of the theater is actually an integral part of what is easily the bolshoi's biggest new technological improvement the innovation starts out on the streets of the northern facade of the theater from here specially designed trucks can bring all the necessary stage equipment including seem

decorations lifts are able to move the heavy loads back and forth between storage and the backstage area individually neck and eye sections of the fourth visit every part of the stage can be adjusted to fit the director's needs movable force easily get the props and prepared sets to the front with a need to be and the orchestra pit can also be adapted to allow for new pieces like those from wagner to be performed for the very first time new lighting apparatus have been installed bringing the bolshoi to the forefront of theater production in terms of both technology and size. contemporary architecture standards to theaters production space must be four times larger than the. and there are makeup and storage rooms and other backstage facilities. such proportions are required for a theater to be able to stage twenty first century performances to stay at the

cutting edge of the is a related technology so in fact before the bolshoi theater closed in two thousand and five this proportion had been one to one because now the reconstructed theater will boast a want to for proportion which made this possible first and foremost it's due to the unique engineering that so the theater expand the details around the square now when walking across the atlanta square you should always keep in mind that you are treading on the roof of a six story building that's twenty point five meters deep under your feet and an orchestra is having a rehearsal or a chamber concert is under way. this hidden gym is i'm literally right under the noses of people on the square in front of the theater the now named beethoven hall this completely new space gives the bolshoi's performers not only an additional place to rehearse but a totally new states to host concerts thanks to new innovations and powerful motor driven jacks there's no limit to what this hall can allow from or the chain of the

draw consists of linked plates it's a so-called leaf chain connected by axles. each plate is linked to the axles the third axle well you can have a look from this angle functions as a lot for the plates. and when passing through the gear unit the leaf chain can change its position from vertical to horizontal there's a metal unit and side where you can collapse insert safe line. this is a great tool to be used for tying spaces and you don't need to drill any holes. the platforms were started actually here you turn the engines on the first one behind me and the second in front of their. they start to work simultaneously and through a system of gearboxes and drive shafts the transferred the tour to all the chains

which begin to go up all at the same time. in this unique space and those deers in chains in power five separate or segments which in each be raised and lowered is needed this newfound flexibility allows the bolshoi to accommodate a large orchestra a full ampitheater will numerous rows of seats masterfully combining beauty and utility now with everything in place this and all the other stages are ready to host any number of events like never before the bolshoi has the ability to change things around to fit the exact requirements of each performance and that would give even the most seasoned theater fans a new reason to head to a show so we'll see you next time and until then enjoy the ride. wealthy british style. sometimes.
