putting jobs on a spin cycle will hang out whirlpool's dirty laundry next. to the capital account i'm lauren lyster. and what drives the world the fear mongering used by politicians who makes decisions to break through it's already been made can you trust no one. is in view with a global regime where we had a state controlled capital school sessions when nobody dares to

ask we do our tea question more. president obama is on a three day visit to five states hill need to win in november to keep his job his next stop tonight michigan the state has seen rising inequality and a disappearing middle class especially the struggling blue collar city detroit its earned a reputation as a doomed place where no one in their right minds want to go this movie clip captures the emotion. of it. as for my american friends it's. true the moment. so you get to detroit. really.

well that insult to injury there is one town in michigan that is the problem of corporate greed crippling the community while apple and many companies ship jobs overseas another company has found a way to drain average americans without even stepping foot out of state lines and as our t. correspondent arena pour and i as shows us one multi-billion dollar company has left an entire community drowning in debt and sorrow. in one of america's most economically depressed city resides the world's largest producer of home appliances roku corp it's headquartered in benton harbor michigan where sixty percent are unemployed ninety percent live in poverty and per capita income is roughly ten thousand dollars the citizens of benton harbor are living from one day to the next they're very poor and they're very disheartened i mean there's

been very little effort on the part of whirlpool that runs everything to try to. involve the community in two thousand and nine whirlpool received a nineteen point three million dollars grant from the federal government in part to create jobs and i think our u.s. workforce certainly factory work force if you will is that is the best among the world so we are very confident in the future of u.s. manufacturing for our kind of products one year later the corporation perceive nearly twenty million dollars from the state of michigan to expand its facility which now serves as a gateway into bed harbor it's good for the community good for the state and good for your business as well ip there's a real art to that but as the u.s. base corp has grown globally you know let's move on the street more jobs have been outsourced to countries demanding less wages today the form of blue collar

community of benton harbor remains a victim of america's deindustrialization and growing for population growth pool has seventy one thousand employees around the globe but no longer manufactures home products in its hometown it still remains a recipient of u.s. state and federal stimulus funding. whirlpool just closed the factory and that hurt my business my little business. i lost a lot of clients this is their home base in it always has been and in the beginning of the large development they promised us that they would always be due to the recession the corporate behemoths of home appliances hasn't paid us income tax since two thousand and eight by two thousand and ten nearly ninety nine percent of benton harbor residents were receiving food stamps while the banks approximately eighteen billion dollars in annual sales. that think i've purchased my last

whirlpool appliance i don't even think i'll call for repair because too often in for too long those that have gotten rich has forgotten who's helped them to get there and they're willing to step on this and that just doesn't sit well with my soul a soul living in one of america's poorest cities close in poverty and accessorize in corporate success purina point nine zero thirty new york. well done harbor michigan is just one of many towns across the country plagued by dissimilar economic prospects just moments ago i spoke to reverend jesse jackson about the issue. it is wrong in the case of. and in several of the small towns. there goes into a budget crisis. the government has the right to have legislature to intervene to

remove an elected democratically elected mayor remove a democratic elected to the council of sit them down and then put in emergency manager was on the camel to the people on the to the government of the secretary of state who then can cancel all labor contracts well then sit assett that is on them and replacing. democracy with a unit that will form a government this is tyranny and the problem is just as most of the bean. does not have a mesmeric crisis it has a need for economic reconstruction in the state cannot on the my democratic process by the way take away the basic rights. reverend president obama he is kicking up campaign efforts and these key states michigan being one of them how is he going to win votes and places that are in some cases worse off than when he took office. well but most of them are better off the fact is we came into office we were losing

eight hundred thousand jobs a month we him reaching out the back door the first stimulus they him urging him to get a slow recovery back issue been a bigger stimulus because the hole was deep in most people realize it was and then in addition that three years later the one hundred thousand troops out of iraq and that was a promise made that is. the fact is with all the tax and obamacare more americans all insured were. used up to twenty five out of school can stay on their parents' insurance program more with preexisting conditions can still good health care and it's been a costly recovery but they did big issue has been the idiot logic of the virus in that country between states' rights sovereignty and the more perfect union there are those willing to sink the ship just to the straw the captain or cutter mutiny on the ship. obama now president obama he is coming back

with this kind of populist message that that helped to get him elected the first time around and this message this rhetoric of favor and the people over the elites is going to be hard for folks in these struggling towns and struggling states to to believe it. well the most because of the all of what he's trying to do but what he has been stopped from doing and they look at the alternative i mean when you've got . a woman who put a finger in his face with a trigger the gas is on until she apologizes you have newt gingrich calling him a welfare president the fact is that one percent of all welfare recipients are white. african-american for that was so that you know so that's a race cold route you have the case of calling him a law if the will of the congress and go through to me a little is just fine as

a mean this all those which is his birth is you know america is you a christian and so you have this you are one of us push off and the cumulative impact is a real revive racial divide which we do not need and do not deserve and certainly a lot of people would make the argument that today the country is more divided than ever and tonight we have yet another g.o.p. presidential debate coming up and sell far as expected we've seen a lot of talk from them about tax breaks for the rich their argument behind that is that somehow it's going to help jumpstart the economy and we see cities like benton harbor michigan does that disprove that there are. well the case in the case of mitt romney who is making one million a year. money is making him on that capital making capital. given him woman and does not give us more jobs it gives him more surplus we've been all out the banks

without live without link to lending the reinvestment the fact that restructure the banks not really for the most of the bigger it and to bigger to fail and that's the good thing only as strong as comes about putting on the public option. become woman optimistic the mic and fees of risen on the issue would have risen and then you cannot negotiate fair price on the international market. and beyond that if it to three million americans on board in secure fifty million in poverty and for the former you know includes steps we're having real problems and i come to me the whole the the the the ship is doing very well but the whole of the ship is getting crowded and more painful and rather and in your opinion well what needs to be down to redress this problem of rising inequality this rising inequality gap and the us . well first of all there must be a fairer distribution of the tax burden too few have too much pan too little in

tunis sufferings too much pain so that get must be close by a commitment not to keep igs keep exacerbating the gap between the richest one percent that's one thing a second thing that must be said of the rich intervention the poorest people need jobs now bottom up not tax cuts top down people want the rich and the rule right you look at detroit one hundred thousand of them bend the laws go to take twenty five percent of those homes remove boards and put on the planes put it in those homes and begin to fix them up for a retrofit them you would create more jobs than they are people in so we need a plan to emerge as the reconstruction not as emergency management. and that was civil rights leader reverend jesse jackson and that does it for now for more of the stories we covered you can head over to r.t. dot com slash u.s.a. you can also check out our used to page it's youtube dot com slash r t america and

more news today violence is once again fled up the film these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are rooted a clue. hello and welcome to technology update this month we've ditched the bright lights and credits streets of moscow for snow cover novosibirsk now this french and siberian city is actually a hotbed of russian scientific activity and our first stop takes us to an institute that's long been the heart of the region's a famed academic cluster. the institute of nuclear physics is

one of the world's leading research centers in its field but here it's not just experiments they're interested in they also designed and built some of the most complex instruments used in particle physics research now most of us are familiar with adam smashers but here they're working on an extremely important but complimentary piece of equipment and electron cooler the technology behind this beast was pioneered back in the one nine hundred sixty s. by the man whose name graces the facade of this institute given the growing power range that modern particle accelerators are capable of the beam needs to be cooled in order to increase its effectiveness. it's called in physics. electron accomplish this by shrinking the size divergence and energy spread of charged particles without losing any straight particles. and that means the resulting collision is more intense and more particles are likely to smash into one another

and when one is looking for extremely rare process he's most important from the tower looking electrons are shot down through the tube powerful electromagnets the electrons to the cooling chamber where they interact with a hot. focused as a result of the cooling. thanks to their unparalleled. produces these high tech pieces of machinery not just for themselves but for other research centers all over the globe. the first instance of. the institution of nuclear physics here in the. several installations where boats for domestic use of. the first installation for exports was for g.s. which is in germany later two more were both for china one with a capacity of thirty five they other with three hundred but this. two million

electron volts cooler is headed for the ula tree search center in germany the facility is part of a european union sponsored effort to better understand the fundamental hadrons most specifically the electron coolant will be installed at the centers institute of nuclear physics cosy synchrotron there are sprawling complex elementary particles will be accelerated looked around the synchrotron and smashed together for scientists to study and those efforts will be helped by the addition of novosibirsk school or. so what we get by is this get new quality and it means we. have much. momentum range very small. mentions and this is the goal.

so once the final touches have been applied this cooler will be on its way to hopefully groundbreaking experiments the collaboration here with the germans is just a part of a wider international effort all across the field of particle physics from asia to europe to the u.s. researchers basically have one goal in mind based on the proposition that all matter is made up of tiny unseeable particles scientists are keen to smash them to pieces to find the building blocks of our universe super charmed factories can produce billions of towel and charm quarks generating boatloads of new data and for one of these the institute is ready to throw more than a half a billion dollars at a new complex main objective as regards the super factory is to increase the installations efficiency to the power of three that means by a thousand times to study the decay of particles you have to produce

a certain number of them and then observe them so now we want to produce a thousand times more particles than it's now possible at any other installation for the time being though that super chantelle factory is still a ways away from becoming a reality but that doesn't mean the scientists here are waiting around for that to happen the institute has already built a new high the accelerator and from this room nuclear physicists can control and monitor all the activities of the institute's existing injector complex which creates the subatomic particles needed for now. these high powered particles are generated. already existing. where russian scientists are already conducting cutting edge experiments that are adding to the world's overall understanding of what underpins our very existence. using the. money from the government building an injector complex very complicated project.

so a part of the. already completed. we've carried out the necessary planning for the project. designed all the buildings and facilities. commission from the municipal. construction. factory will be connected to the already operational injector complex according to plans a new two hundred meter linear accelerator will bring the particles even closer to the speed of light and that will yield even more fruitful collisions but for now most attention is focused on the existing. the particle accelerator here has the capacity to create up to one trillion electrons and twenty billion positrons every second particles of vacuum tubes where there sped up and. timed so that a particle is pushed forward time it goes through a gap between the metal tubes and the higher the kinetic energy climbs the faster

and faster they go. accumulated. look at them from the look across to the linear electron and positron accelerator will be located in this tunnel the much of it will take up this entire mostly empty space so it won't look as if there was a doze now. that it is excel rater will raise the electrons and positrons energy to the level required for the super chom tower factory and then at the end of the tunnel the particles will get injected into the main ring of the collider. so the

particles zip down this currently dark passage will split into separate electron and positron rings. this total will contain the technical sections of the super factory. where the accelerating super high frequency resonators technical optics and beam diagnostics system will be located for additionally the injections of the electron and positron beams into the collider ring will be performed here as well with this trait of fortune should be continued to form semicircles into the left and right of the semicircle should come together in a large hall equipped with the detector of. a special building will be built above the detector it will include the control room and the detector support systems of course the whole hasn't been finished yet. further financing is required in order

to complete this facility. appeared in my eyes by the research taking place at cern and with the large hadron collider on the franco swiss border it's going to take a united global effort to fully understand these fundamental particles and processes and the super charms how factory plant at the institute should ensure that russia scientists contribute mightily to this ultimate goal but it's more than traditional science here and now with the b.s. just around the corner from the academic cluster of high tech. park for many resident companies innovations are being incorporated in the latest edition. ever since the so-called park first opened its doors it's been expanding and expanding as you can see with the new towers currently under construction this state of the art center is the latest chapter of a decades long effort to encourage science in the region recently the federal and regional governments decided to use that history to create

a unique environment to spur on technological innovation it's hoped that the strong scientific base in the academic cluster will prove a breeding ground for the newest high tech startups the parks main goal is to help small and medium sized innovative companies get the running start that they need. developing for clusters. technical. biotech and biomedicine as well as nanotechnology and new materials for each of these clusters we're creating special tree and industrial facilities. facilities that have been specifically adapted for the work of the corresponding innovative companies benefiting from that is inversion since they're working on the next generation detector as you see here the traditional fire alarms have to be installed every few feet depending on the building code up until now inversion sensor has made optical

fiber based detectors that monitor building stress and deformation and right now they're busy installing those in the open focus tower and. however the company is pushing that technology one step further it aims to take optical fibers and use them in a new kind of fire alarm which they say can be more cost effective and in some cases safer. propose using optical fiber as a sensitive element to measure temperature along it. can act as a signal in large language it can be very canonical effective furthermore our senses are absolutely spark an explosion proof which therefore they can be used in coal mines the q chemical industries and so on where traditional exploring senses your butt off the bed and. the passion.

i want to commend in this room we're developing and researching our distributed fiber sensor and we're currently at the final testing stage it's important for us to understand what the maximum distance is that which we can monitor the temperature the water is illusion we can get a q during crease the distance here in the lab we use these spools of fiber of course this isn't the same fiber that you sold being installed earlier a bundle of this cable would wear around two hundred kilograms and we don't need it since the fiber on the inside is the same as it has here this fiber goes along the wall from one spool to another and eventually reaches our device so we have about six kilometers of fiber here listicle the section of the fiber we want to affect is located inside the cat so he would use there's ten metres of fiber here so when we turn the case alone we can observe the water temperature increasing in real time we see process results on they screen there are three charts the first one shows data

from the signals coming in. this second the calculated temperature. of one the third in the computer the relationship between temperatures and time of that here on the screen we can already see some kind of peak right at the peak is the water temperature inside the kettle we can even see it's in more detail these peaks are processed by a device which then determines whether a fire to employees or not. to prep the optic fibers for detection a method called bragg grading is employed this involves a laser i-ching a pattern of the core of the fiber this changes the way impulses travel along the length of the fiber certain wavelengths are reflected back to the impulse source while others continue along this eleven us to get specific data from every section of the fiber and this does it much faster than traditional detectors fibers like this could be used to relay an ever growing amount of data helping us better monitor conditions. remotely and safely. but there's another.

just about everywhere we go harmful particles around us if you live in a metropolitan area chances are your lungs are under constant attack. or exhaust secondhand smoke at your favorite bar or restaurant their potential to do long term harm is unabating fortunately there's another firm technique parkas innovation help keep us safe from all kinds of dangers. in the region is key on they think they may have made a major step forward in terms of cleaning the air we breathe for example with one of their units plugged in cigarette smoke is no longer the nuisance and thready can be and as they see it the potential demand for their filters is huge. where can you purify air well everywhere. to do a solo in them in different places such as restaurants and other areas where people

eat. household filtration devices we purified air from tobacco smoke which tried medical institutions. we realized which is something that most startups trying to survive do that we had to narrow. and focus on one particular segment in a particular market. in the past. have been made out of either paper or fiberglass but that's not the case here. instead they employ upon layers of polypropylene fibers. look like much by themselves when they're stacked up there one of the best defenses against those pesky airborne intruders. needed a little granules are first heated up and then spun. after they reach the right thickness of the cylinder is removed. and placed into a mold to make install.
