broadcasting live from our studios in central moscow this is a party certainly glad to have you with us i'm trying thomas let's take a look at your top headlines still in tune the occupy wall street activists remain defiant in the face of police pressure and an early start to winter in new york big outdoor authorities earlier seized campaigners heaters and power generators saying they posed a fire hazard. activists say at least thirty protesters are killed amid new clashes in syria as the arab league calls on damascus to end the violence and protect civilians arab ministers are due to meet syrian officials on sunday in the current capital doha in an attempt to resolve the crisis. plus a special r.t. report the man responsible for the biggest financial pyramid scheme in russian history that cost millions of their life savings is now tempting ukrainian savers

to hand over their hard earned cash. and thousands of israelis it took to the streets of tel aviv again angered by the government's excessive military spending protesters demanded social justice and call on the authorities to concentrate more on welfare rather than want to see. the next technology update with all the latest on this month's eye opening innovations. hello and welcome just as the leaves here are starting to change color we on technology update are changing things around as well in this episode will be highlighting some of the biggest development 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 know russia's leading nanotechnology company and many of its partners are showing off all the latest developments both big and small at this 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. bring us one step closer to a 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 reader 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 the huge stack of text as well as new entire libraries worth of books several regional governments have already started trials in schools around russia. as. we started

this project. originally the company was faulty and cambridge. more than from. the building before. plus the koreans for and. go with the company. and russia the purpose of which was to create a new york city. and one of the regions. simple for this. this would be the largest transfer in the world. because there was this reader. also suggest production with other voices. but until that plan just had run into the new devices here at plastic logic's exist to production facility certainly the most important breakthrough in this electronic

reader is it's under breakable plastic backplane provisionally electronic books and tablets are fitted with a glass back screen which approach of breaking relatively easily the first generation of 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 reader has . paper books for example you can download. the whole set of books or you can bundle you on the home web or if you knew this particular doris those books for six and so on is great so this is the clear advantage other adventures that you 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 the best and what

do you think about that question of course working was print is not the best option and to the case of some subjects like biology or brain it would be to her of course princeton the book and was grim but this is different. so it's only. because of education we are on this to the largest printers with them because in this case it's complete. which means a much easier to read it's much more safe for a school. boy or a school girl poor with this device 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 like products books is certainly an attractive one on the moscow metro you're sure to find one of your fellow passengers putting open piers 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 breakable glass back screens it's about to launch its own belief but little but the latest plastic backplate technology and considering where the consumer market is 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 segments in the itin destry 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 grocery. and terms of trends flexibilities 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 when you've got them 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 that it will be for sale for everyone. but it's. going to be. 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 a race 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 measurement. 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 but these tiny particles lack in size they make up their potential to explain things yet unknown on noise. neutrinos play a crucial role in the theory of the evolution of the universe. because. at certain stages this particle could become the main vehicle for transporting energy from an object. now they're 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 born proof of concept move to do to research neutrinos during his life he was responsible for some of the biggest theoretical breakthroughs in the field of neutrino physics as a result of this matter has remained at the center of the discipline to this very

day. our laboratory takes part in many international experiments that involve studying neutrino what. is the work on discovering and measuring new yet unknown characteristics. of the op or experiments. while a lot of author as 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 the super proton synchrotron the accelerated protons are sent along a tunnel where many turn into neutrinos the pint sized particles are then focussed into a beam since them through the earth directed at the 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 neutrinos 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 the crucial thing here is that the want to let the brakes off straight from the path of the neutrino in two thousand and ten however they finally saw what they were looking for. a decade that is to say that i'm the one left appears directly from the path of the one that neutrino that little gap or keep the physicists at opera believe children a movie one that neutrino oscillated into a towel on the one which then gave rise to a towel lepton vindicate into the moon. among other things this is important for our understanding of the fundamental basis of our existence mysterious the universe usable. the reason no answer and 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 physicists like those here will keep trying to peel back our sliver pie 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. 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 you trina speed is faster than the speed of light. is our conception of the world maps and now everything was based on this the speed of light is the talk the last see that nature has devised to communicate a signal it's difficult to predict how science will change. but the main thing to

do now is to make sure 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 more closely associated with industrial agriculture in big farming 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 all the new soil cleansing product develops right here in russia these green advocates hope to breathe new life into the ground in more ways than one. among so they faxed the substance that's the level of toxic elements in the soil and at the same time 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 products didn't appear overnight russian biologists ten years developing the right bacteria strain that would attack a wide range of harmful pesticides the same time remain objective against all of them the effort to come up with the right spirit here at moscow state university those responsible for this breakthrough product called have received more. than a single powder with water activates the destructor bacteria. attacks the remaining effects of harmful pesticides in a matter of weeks eight percent of the remnants of killing poisons are gone.

quite complicated. surprisingly simple. now where 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 this is best as i type is now on the un list of toxic contaminants that are banned from use. this year russia right to find the un sponsors convention on persistent organic pollutants under the treaty there's a list of twenty substances that are considered hazardous and i germicide kills about eight hundred one 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 on the roster for region time region oscar region and of our own issue region. but 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 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 even craze a comic to bring their message to a wider younger audience and this miniature graphic novel little league greed 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 the project philosophy is based on very simple things that every person can understand it's only a joint effort which help us restore the environmental balance on the planet thanks to bio russia and phenolics places such as gorky park and moscow state universities potential 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 weighed on the latest technology to make this world renowned performance hole 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 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 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 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 city it was built in its place the theater got its distinctive main facade and named after rid of ations ahead of the coronation of alexander the second the current restoration work is to correct damage done over the previous eighty years. got 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 lay 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 building stone had been reduced to mere rubble engineers say the building was seventy five percent unstable to. course at the beginning none of the builders or restorers had an idea of the amount of work that eventually needed to be done 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 and 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 substructure 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 more than up to the task easy 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 the fears historic does were given new luster all thirty five of them including one t.d. 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 apply over three thousand square feet of gold giving the interior a certain shimmer all but lost 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 hope 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 the 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 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 at the store's textile mill in the kinzer region skilled fabric workers put their know how and you need machinery to the test they might not employ that absolutely just technology they lose here are naturalised in their ability to produce large scale high quality bricks all one hundred fifty years of the mills experience were needed to totally reconstruct one of the grandest objects of the theater because right to segall occurring and that was a task only source project live or on. the a bring it up for it but initially the bush said the following requirements differ tension contract is the fabric had to be twenty thousand he says why not contain any scenes from a festive part of the tent it was also a german company among the competitors were offered a fabric native to pieces stitched together by some hidden in conspicuous stained

the bolshoi theater if 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 there were six of them made in the world and only two is still up and running one here in sewers and the other in the us. thanks to the know how and machinery here in source the fifteen hundred pound guy. well i give it proudly wilson spectators to the theater for the first time since eight hundred ninety six the original curtain which depicts the triumphant arrival of medieval military leaders and has our state had to be taken down over a century ago due to wear and tear the artisans remaking the epic curtain had nothing more than two surviving documents of the original should go off of one was an archival photograph the other hand painted edging dating back to the. artist 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 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 the backstage area individually mechanize sections of the fourth 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 can also be adapted to allow

for new pieces like those from wagner to be performed for the dairy 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 a theater production space must be four times larger than the. 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 technologies because in fact before the bolshoi theater closed in two thousand and five this proportion had been one to one ok now the reconstructed theater will post a wanted for proportion which made this possible first and foremost it's due to the unique engineering that's all the theater expand the detail 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 and twenty point five meters deep under your feet 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 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 you know it's the leaf chain can change its position from vertical to horizontal there's

a metal unit and side where it can collapse inserts a thin line if this is a great tool to be used for tying 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 their. they start to work similar through a system of boxes and drive shafts the transfer the torque to all the chains which begin to go up all at the same son was in this unique space but those deers in chains in power five separate or segments which can be raised and lowered is needed this newfound flexibility allows the bolshoi to accommodate a large orchestra a call into theater or 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 be even the most seasoned theater fans a new reason to head to a show so see you next time and until then enjoy the ride.
