welcome back this is our t. live from moscow here's a recap of all of our top stories american anti corporate protesters now have to battle the upcoming winter without power supplies to outer authorities confiscated their generators at a fuel former they remain on a possible doubts as their ranks are bolstered by reams and the national. germany's nationalist party scene support for its sound to immigrant status are growing in the country but critics say the trend is giving rise to violent crime and could cause even deeper social divisions. and the value robbed of millions of people of their life savings in the one nine hundred ninety s. is back he's once again promising to be earth and there are still plenty of people ready to invest in his questionable entrance. overbearing the iconic bolshoi theater for yesterday's grad reopening was no mean feat of engineering and budgets

and patients all pushed to the limits of technology update sure reveals how they did it alongside the rest of this month's other eye opening innovation that's next on r.t. . 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 ruth's nano russia's leading nano technology company and many of its partners are showing off all their latest developments both big and small i just gather 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 who equipped with. bring us one step closer to a world free for 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 plastic logic one hundred company execs hope that this winter device will eventually replace traditional school textbooks this sixteen ounce device can replace the huge stack of text entire libraries worth of books several regional governments have already started trials in schools around russia. as in the. start of this project with. original of the company was from cambridge.

from. building before. and. together with. the purpose of. creating. regions which are suitable for this. this will be the largest. in the world. because there was this rigor and. also so just production of well there are voices based on political trends but until that plant has been running the new devices will be built here have plastic large existing production facility certainly the most important breakthrough in this electronic reader is that breakable plastic backplane traditionally electronic tablets are fitted with the glasses back screen which are prone to breaking relatively easily the first generation of bendable 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. has. compared to paper books for example you can. get from content through. the whole set of books or you can do more you know in the home library if you knew this particular doris those books for six and so on straight so this is a clear advantage other advantages that you can 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 and what do you think about that question of course print is not the best option and think it's on some subjects like biology or brain and it would be of course stream instead of working with this is different. and so on the question of them because

of education we understood that in this book because in this case the screen comes complete. which means a much easier to read and so much more so if. your poor this is the way the roost nano isn't the only russian company coming out with an innovative new digital leader. given the fact that the country is home to one of the most literate and avid reading populations the market for more traditional electronic books is certainly an attractive one on the moscow metro you're sure to find one of your fellow passengers putting open his or her trusty reader and in russia there's a good chance that one of them was made by wexler on a company offers traditional readers with cheaper but breakable glass backstreets is about to launch its own fully but little with the latest plastic backley 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 market it's the fastest growing segment in the auto 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 and sums of trends flexibility is definitely the one and will continue to produce flexible displays. will be used in educational institutions therefore the displays large not compact because it needs to comply with standards. and we're all for a genuinely compact return which has a flexible body as well as display. our target audience is a broad one any kind of consumer can use it. it will be for sale for everyone.

and. everything. on 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 have raised 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 from our. train goes a little faster. could this be the biggest development in physics since einstein's day well it's all relative. here in dubai 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. 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. still not completely understood much of what we do know about neutrinos comes from this research center here laboratory for nuclear problems. fifty. moved to do the research to train 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. takes part in many international experiments involved studying. the work on

discovering and measuring new known characteristics. heavy lifting institutes in russia and 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 the super. accelerator protons are sent along a tunnel where many turn into neutrinos 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. is made up of one hundred fifty thousand. plates to discover 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. in a few other particles the crucial thing here is that the wanted breaks off straight from the path of the neutrino in two thousand and ten however they finally saw what they were looking. at. to say that i'm the one to leptons appears not directly from the path of the one of the trio that little gap or king the physicist at opera believe show that a movie like neutrino oscillated into a towel on that one which then gave rise to a towel lepton that vindicates into the moon want to let you know among other things about why this is important for understanding of the fundamental basis of our existence as fairly mysterious that the universe has evolved in this way columbus i mean the reason mass and 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 businesses like those here and do will keep tolling 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 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 of many 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 sumption that the speed of light is the top the last and c. that nature has devised to communicate a signal to the president so it's difficult to predict how signs will change. but the main thing to do now is to make sure the 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 are focusing on an innovative russian solution to the problem of pesticide related pollution. or they're more often closely associated with industrial agriculture intakes pesticides 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. products adults right here in russia these green advocates hope to breathe new life into one's tainted ground in more ways than one. among so the facts the substance that's the level of toxic elements in the soil and at the same time the plant growth it can be used for seize treatment of 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 pick the right dose and application right. science behind this product didn't appear overnight russian biologist spent ten years developing the right bacteria strain that would attack a wide range of harmful pesticides the same time remaining affective against. the effort to come up with the right science spearheaded here at moscow state university those responsible for this breakthrough product called have received more to pull towards. the powder with water activates the destructor of bacteria and. immediately attacks the remaining effects of harmful pesticides in a matter of weeks ninety eight percent of the remnants of the bug killing poisons are gone. quite complicated. is surprisingly simple just 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 aside time is now on the un list of toxic contaminants that are banned from use. this year russia ratified the u.n. sponsors the concord mention an assistant 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 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 national region. are people aware of the risks of using pesticides it's good to 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 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 maybe even crazy a comic to bring their message to a wider younger audience and this miniature graphic novel little really greek is one of the dangers of pesticides which leads her to a life of science to try and break their hold on the 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 right approach it philosophy is based on very simple things that every person can understand it's only a joint effort from 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 is on the rise in russia but lately there's been something else on a lot of people's minds. the talk of the town lately 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 all 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 glistening again the interior is more resplendent 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 theatre technology will allow directors to do things only dreamed of until now sure this place of 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 got its distinctive main facade and named after rid of ations 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 well the project was ambitious enough to start with nobody had any idea just how big of a job lay ahead once they got down to business it was discovered that the damage the theater was much greater than previously thought cracks were discovered in the

walls and the buildings foundation had been reduced to mere rubble engineers say the building was seventy five percent unstable. course and the beginning none of the builders or restorers had no idea of the amount of work that eventually needed to be done just 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 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 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 more than up to the task ageing statues have been restored to their original chlorine the famous a polished quadriga that adorns the entrance was repaired for the first time in over one hundred years fifty years historic bells were given new luster all thirty five of them including one dating back to the early sixteen hundreds were hoisted 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 doing the interior 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

a final project to lend it tons of metal stone rebar and concrete to put the whole building back on firm footing. but the relations 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 throughout the most noticeable update is the redone plush interior here in the renamed coral hall embroider 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 but 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 skilled 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 use a college curtain and that was a task only source code to liver on. the a bring it up or it was initially the bush i see it has sent the following requirements to pretension contract is the fabric can't be twenty centimeters wide and should not contain any scenes. causing the tender there wasn't some a german company among the competitors who offered a fabric made of two pieces that stitched together by some hidden in conspicuous stain with the bolshoi theater that he refused saying it had to be a single fabric of top notch quality without any seams the other reason he won the tender was that this is a unique type of flume that it was six of the night in the world and only two is

still up and running one here in stores and the other in the us. thanks to the know how and machinery here and source 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 minions and has had to be taken down over a century ago due to wear and tear ours is remaking the f a curtain had nothing more than two surviving documents of the original should go off well one was an archival photograph the other a hand painted etching dating back to the eighteenth of july 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 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 into real part of what is easily the bolshoi's the 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 them backstage area individually neck and eye sections of the floor music 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 the need 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 it's just the theaters production space must be four times larger than the space. i mean 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 theater related technology so in fact before the bolshoi theater closed in two thousand and five this proportion had been one to one now the reconstructed theater will boast a one to four proportion what made this possible first and foremost it's due to the unique engineering death of the theater expand the detail around the square now when walking across the square you should always keep in mind that you are treading on the roof of a six story building has 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 is completely new space begins the bolshoi's performers not only an additional place to rehearse but a totally new stage to host concerts thanks to new innovations and powerful motor driven jacks there's no limit to what this hall can allow some of the chain of the draw consists of linked plates it's a so-called leaf chain connected by axles. each plate is linked by two 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 unit the leaf chain can change its position from vertical to horizontal there's a metal unit inside where it can collapse insert safe mine. this is a great tool 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 up front over there. they start to work simone santa's sleigh and through a system of gear boxes and dr shah throw the transfer the torque to all the chains which begin to go of old at the same sun rise in this unique space those gears in chains will 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 of cold ampitheater the 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 theatre fans a new reason to head to

a show so if the next time and it's till then enjoy the ride. those who are fascinated with history. to those who have a sweet tooth. to those who can't live without discomfort. and of course to the nature lovers this magnificent land offers its treasures. between earth and the sky. on our.

it.

an. important.
