welcome back this is our live from moscow and here's a recap of all our top stories as nato packs up its libya mission that help killed colonel gadhafi his key son could blow the whistle on deals the west wants to bury if he gets a say in court international prosecutors say they're holding him direct talks with saif al islam on possibly surrendering to the hague or he's wanted for war crimes. letting greece join the euro it was a mistake the french president doesn't hold back in his beleaguered e.u. colleagues out there leaders sign off another massive rescue deal europe's now turning to asia for a cash kick start with a bailout plan change having to take time out to ask for help to save the euro. or the bolshoi is back it's the day of building as a theatre lover so i've been waiting for as moscow's lot more theater sets the stage for its first performance in six years after

a massive refurbishment. outside. innovation as art you takes you to russia silicon valley. hello and welcome just as the leaves here are starting to change color we on technology are changing things around as well and 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 ruth's nano russia's leading nanotechnology company and many of its partners are showing off all their latest developments both big and small just 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 future store equipped with. bring us one step closer to world free from long checkout lines there's plenty to please the eye here at the roof nanotech for us the star of the show is this much hyped plastic logic one hundred company exact hope that this winter device will eventually replace traditional school textbooks this sixteen ounce device can replace the huge stacks of text as well as the entire library's worth of books several regional governments have already started trials in schools around russia. in the us through we started this project with post. originally the company was for can bridge.

building the. transfer through and. together with. the russian the purpose. of the regions. suitable for this. this will be the largest transfer in the world. because there was this. stream and also some just production of all there are voices based on political trends but until that plan just up and running the new devices will be built here at plastic the largest existing production facility certainly the most important breakthrough this electronic reader is it's under breakable plastic backplane traditionally electronic books and tablets are fitted with a glass back screen which are prone to breaking relatively easily the first generation of the interval displays have been made from stainless steel oil

companies 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 because. paper for example you can. do from. the books or you can do you know in the home library if you will and you know this particular voice has books for six and so it's great so this is the clear advantage other advantages that come 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 is not the best option and the case of some subjects like biology or brain it would be clear of course screen instead of looking words but this is definitely one of the. it's one of the

question of the intensification we understood that this book because in this case this group can compete with people. which means a much easier to read and so much more so for the as for school. boy or a school girl who read this to us but ruth nano isn't the only rushing company coming out with an innovative new digital reader. given the fact that the country is home to one of the most literate added reading populations the market for more traditional literally books is certainly an attractive one on the moscow metro you're sure to find one of your fellow passengers putting open pisser her trust your reader and in russia there's a good chance that one of them was made by wexler when the company offers traditional readers with cheaper breakable glass back screens it's about to launch its over fully. with the latest plastic backley technology it is a dream where the consumer markets heading this little reader could make

a big splash and what's the future of the e-books market in your opinion. first of all it's a growing market it's the fastest growing segments in the i.t. industry with a hundred percent annual increase over the last three years and this year alone expects more than a million e-book devices to be sold in russia in terms of trends flexibility is definitely the one and we will continue to produce flexible displays that. will be used in educational institutions therefore the displays launch not compact because it needs to comply with standards. of compact them and we're 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 but it will be for sale for everyone.

that. 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 was a raise 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 measurement that goes a little faster than light could this be the biggest development in physics since einstein's day well it's all relative. here into russian scientists are doing their part to find out if that little particle actually does go as fast as it appears but these tiny particles lack in size they make up for it with their potential to explain things yet unknown on noise. neutrinos play

a crucial role in the theory of the evolution of the universe. because. certain stages this particle could become the main vehicle for transporting energy from an object. now there is still not completely understood but much of what we do know about neutrinos comes from this research center here of laboratory for nuclear problems back in the mid one nine hundred fifty s. italian. moved to do the research neutrinos during his life he was responsible for some of the biggest your medical breakthroughs in the field of neutrino physics as a result. has remained at the center of the discipline to this very day. takes part in many international experiments that involve studying. the work on

discovering and measuring new known characteristics. expect. a lot of heavy lifting is done that 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 of particles are created several times a day using this super synchrotron the accelerator protons are sent along a tunnel where many turn into neutrinos the pint sized particles are then focussed into a beam that since them from 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. 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 when they break down and observable lepton and a few other particles and crucial thing here is that the moon breaks off straight from the path of the neutrino in two thousand and ten however they finally saw what they were looking for what's called a decay kink that. to say that i'm the one to leptons appears not directly from the path of the one of the tree know that little gap or kick the physicist at opera believe show that i'm a warlock neutrino oscillated into a towel on that one which then gave rise to a towel lepton vindicate into the moon one of lepton among other things this is important for understanding of the fundamental basis of our existence as fairly mysterious that the universe has evolved in this way you know because i mean that the reason mass and almost no answer you treat of 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 ignorance sliver plus sliver for the time being these scientists have more than enough on their plate whether it be trying to find further evidence of neutrino oscillation or checking and double checking the surprising results of the grand sasso if these neutrinos are found to be able to break the universal speed limit it could lead to a major rethinking the aspects of modern physics. dependent experiments proving that neutrinos speed is faster than the speed of light. is our conception of the world after now that everything was based on this that the speed of light is the top the last and c. that nature has devised to communicate a signal and it's difficult to predict how science will change. but the main thing to do now is to make sure all initial results have been correct.

but leaving all that high minded particle physics stuff behind for now we've come back down to earth. and we're focusing on an innovative russian solution to the problem of pesticide related pollution. closely associated with industrial agriculture. pesticides are just as much of a threat in cities and that's what a group of russian environmentalists got together to highlight here in gorky park in the middle of september. right here in russia these green advocates brings new life into the ground in more ways than one. among so the 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 that shoots emerging much earlier it produces a general wholesome effect that balances out the soil when we conduct our cleanup operations we take samples to identify contaminants and concentration levels and

then take the right dose and application right. science behind this product didn't appear overnight. ten years the right bacteria strain that would attack a wide range of harmful pesticides same time remaining against. the effort to come up with the right headed here at state university. breakthrough product called. the powder with water the destructor bacteria and. the attacks. of harmful pesticides in a matter of weeks eight percent of the. poisons are gone. quite complicated. is surprisingly simple. now we're sprinkling a special solution over the contaminated plot of land it's a biological substance consisting of activated cells of strains of bacteria to

structures it's been designed to destroy pesticides. tied. is now on the un list of toxic contaminants that are banned from use this year russia ratified 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 our genocide kills about eight hundred nine thousand of them in russia some two hundred thousand tons of pesticides are still stored especially refuse dumps almost the same amount is buried under the ground in many russian regions the roster friesian out-i region moscow region and of our own issue region. are people aware of the risks of using pesticides. we see that people are not indifferent that they want to make a difference and i believe it will soon become more popular as interest in a greener planet grows by all 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 maybe even crazy a comic to bring their message to a wider younger audience and this miniature graphic novel little really great is one 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 powerful forces determined to stop her and all her green activists dreaming of a planet free from dangerous pesticides write a project for last and 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 but tentacle gardens are becoming cleaner and cleaner green awareness does on the rise in russia but lately there's been something else on a lot of people's minds. the talk of the town meeting here in moscow has been that of the bolshoi theater is

grand reopening the russian engineers responsible for this massive undertaking have leaned on the latest technology to make this world renowned performance hall bigger and better than ever. after six long years of waiting russia's most famous theatre is opening its doors to the public again at the end of october despite some early setbacks both engineers and our does it have been working around the clock to get moscow's iconic theatre ready in time for its much anticipated reopening crystal chandeliers or 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 the show at the new bolshoi will be like nothing you've

ever experienced before the acoustics have been vastly improved and noble innovations in theater technology will allow directors to do things only dreamed of until now sure this latest upgrade 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 seat was built in its place the theater got its distinctive main facade and named after a writ 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 under way back in two thousand and five well 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 dammit. the theater was much greater than previously thought but white cracks were discovered

through the walls and the building stone dition had been reduced to mere rubble engineers say the building was seventy five percent unstable. of course and the beginning none of the builders or restorers had an idea of the amount of work that eventually needed to be done and 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 theatre had been closed the walls were about to collapse and it was decided to put the building on a thousand piles of steel pillars that held it up in the air the builders had to remove the remaining foundation blocks piece by piece the cell 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 only by implementing complex engineering projects. in two thousand and nine suman group became the largest shareholder in the firm responsible for the massive project soon as the 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 moving up to the task aging statues had been restored to their original quarry the famous a polished quadriga that adorns 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 forced to back up to the theatres 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 apply over three thousand square feet of gold leaf in the interior a certain shimmer zero but last decades ago the building was late using a particularly russian tactic dating back to medieval times involving a white clay and get this vodka the bolshoi 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 really big holes were just concrete and steel after years of neglect beautiful fabrics that were 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 had been badly damaged over the years and 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 at the risk textile mill in the fields a region skilled 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 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 segall occurring and that was a task only source project liber on. be able to get up for it but initially the bush said the following requirements the pretention contract is the fabric had to be twenty metres wide and should not contain any scenes we took part in the ten the missiles and the german company mounted competitors were offered a fabric made of two pieces put stitched together by some hidden in conspicuous stained glass the bolshoi theater flatly refused saying it had to be a single fabric of top notch quality without any seams the other reason the one that was that this is a unique. it was six of the night in the world and any two is still up and running

one he. and the other in the us. thanks to the know how and machinery here and source fifteen hundred pound. proudly wilson spectators to the theater for the first time since eight hundred ninety six. which depicts the triumphant arrival of medieval military leaders and has had to be taken down over a century ago due to wear and tear of the artisans remaking the f a curtain nothing more than two surviving documents of the original go off of one was an archival photograph the other hand painted dating back to eight hundred fifty nine artist labors on the current only possible because of the skill 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. one improvement that will be

apparent to everyone in the audience while it may not be evident straight away out here on the backside of the theater is actually interrupt 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 scene generations lifts are able to move the heavy loads back and forth between storage and the backstage area individually mechanize sections of the floor music every part of the stage can be adjusted to fit the director's needs movable floors easily get the props and prepared sets the front would be to be and the orchestra pit and also be adapted to allow for new pieces like those from wagner to be performed for the very first time new lighting and curtain apparatus have been installed bringing the bolshoi to the. forefront of theater production in terms of both technology and

size. contemporary architecture standards suggest the theaters production space must be four times larger than the audience space 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 as a related technologies in fact before the bolshoi theatre closed in two thousand and five disproportioned had been one to one now the reconstructed theatre will boast a one to four proportion what made this possible first and foremost it's due to the unique engineering bethell the theater expand the square now when walking across to the 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 literally right under the noses

of people on the square in front of the theater the now named beethoven hall this completely new space begins 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 log for the plates. and when passing through the gear you know that the leaf chain can change its position from vertical to horizontal there's a metal unit inside where it can collapse inserts a thin line. this is a great tool. it's to be used for tiny spaces and you don't need to drill any holes

. the platforms work starts actually here you turn the engines on the first one behind me and the second in front of there and they start to work similar tenuously and through a system of gear boxes and drive shafts they transferred the torque to all the chains which begin to go of all at the same sun. in this unique space those deers in chains move forward five separate four segments which can each be raised and lowered is needed this newfound flexibility allows the bolshoi to accommodate a large orchestra of cold ampitheater or numerous rows of seats masterfully combining beauty and utility now with everything in place this and all the other stages and 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 it will then enjoy the ride.
