work set to become the f.b.i.'s main weapon in combat and domestic threats all the details online. long shot one that republican presidential candidate puts for the proposal of making new satellite america's fifty first state. blasts crowns the young scholar at an annual student beauty contest. the third day of the world economic forum is just hours from getting underway as the business elite prepare to tackle the global financial crisis and attempt to restore economic confidence the future of china and you razor is expected to dominate today's agenda long with other vital issues that we're in this to report.
12:19 am
it's day three of the world economic forum but things are certainly not slowing down if anything they are continuing to get more into the problems the economic problems that really are the ones that are a focus of the globe and if the people here we will of course given that here a lot more on the eurozone crisis this is really something that has cast a cloud over this entire forum with it being the headache for the global economy as angela merkel pointed out in her remarks probably quite fit only when this forum opened up but will also hear on a number of other issues we will hear about politics there will be discussion of the arab spring implications we'll hear from the prime minister of tunisia we'll hear from the presidential candidate one of egypt about what the arab spring means for those economies and also for investment we'll also hear more on emerging economies and on the big guys we'll hear about china's economic outlook why is there pessimism with an economy that's expected to grow nine percent it's
12:20 am
a great question we'll see what they come up with and also a number of russian participants will speak about the global energy outlook financial competitiveness and also the future of eurasia so those are some of the things that we're going to hear on the official agenda but do not forget it davos there is a whole other agenda which is what is happening on the sidelines and in private meetings and in private parties bilateral meetings for diplomats business meetings for any kind of executives or people trying to get investment whether it's a charity or a state or country so this is a lot of what goes on here we'll keep you posted on how this all unfolds on day three but for now from the world economic forum in davos switzerland i'm laurin leicester. and to get more on the business deals that have been conducted the world economic forum so from a financial updates that's coming up in just a few minutes time. now some world news in brief for you this hour the u.s. plans to cut one hundred thousand troops and it's a bid for
12:21 am
a smaller leaner military restructuring comes as the president prepares for hundreds of billions of dollars for the next ten years this will still leave the u.s. military larger and stronger than it was before the wars in iraq and afghanistan the government will continue to spend around eighty eight billion dollars a year on combat operations in afghanistan tensions in the country are still high there as the taliban counters western troops often leading to civilian casualties. syrian rebels have clashed with troops in a town just north of damascus two hundred people were detained by security forces as they raided homes looking for weapons and suspects in the town of provincial governor hopes to negotiate a cease fire as a ten month revolt against president assad creeps closer to damascus moment five thousand people have died since the uprising began last march. to new york where details of a shipment containing sixty kilos of cocaine seized last week the u.n.

headquarters just released a package marked with fake united nations insignia shipped from mexico through cincinnati organization spokesman read of the year when anyone catered at the headquarters where the intended recipients officials believe it was the bungled attempts of drug traffickers to ship contacts into the u.s. . now fierce opposition to international supermarket giants setting up shop in india has forced adoption rethink many fear that such a move could force millions of shopkeepers across the country out of business supporters argue it would lower prices for consumers preassure reports. this dry food store has been insecure and they're seeing chalons family for six generations it's one of the many small retail stores that have been operating in this market in old delhi for hundreds of years and longer want to help six generations of our family grew financially and provided us with everything but now seeing child one's
12:23 am
way of life could be at risk after years of pressure the indian government decided to allow foreign multiband retailers namely grocery stores access to india's market now the likes of tesco and walmart could finally have access to one of the fastest growing middle classes in the world until now india only allowed single brand foreign retailers like reebok to enter the country even though the indian economy opened up more than a decade ago economists here argue that the country needed at least five years to build up its domestic multi brand retail sector before allowing foreign competition into the country but now politicians argue that it might be the perfect time for foreign companies to enter india's five hundred ninety billion dollar retail sector the politicians behind the push say that farmers can make more money and consumers will pay less for food if the stores are allowed into india these retailers could provide organization to india supply chain by cutting out unnecessary middlemen
12:24 am
president obama and other western leaders have also been putting pressure on india to allow their stores to open in the country arguing that they could provide jobs to millions of indians but small business owners still argue that it's an idea that would jeopardize their way of life but what do you think big stores open up businesses will not be able to compete with and they will find it hard to say all right so this is a conspiracy against us to shut us down and open big ships but we will not allow this to happen in india but nor does it go belly up the small business will be swallowed by wilma like the way small fishes are wreaking by the big fishes in the sea these small family run businesses will be completely destroyed jeopardizing the financial situation of fish. children's for now however opposition within india has stalled the decision from being finalized but store owners like singh chauhan are watching the debate closely wondering if his family's business and the old delhi that he's known his whole life will suddenly change. this is an attempt to destroy
12:25 am
the businessmen in india we will not allow this to happen and resisting outsiders from potentially destroying his family's tradition preassure either r.t. delhi india. korean i will update you now on the latest business news. hello and welcome to our business update this hour raid on a sun is moving closer to increasing its share in the russian. speaking to r.t. at the devils economic forum the head of the alliance said that the agreement could even come within weeks its plan to raise the share from the current twenty five percent to fifty percent carl is going to expect after the us to have the lion's share of the alliances growing sales of russia. there is a lot of progress. shown i'm not going to tell you when but soon we'll be able to
12:26 am
announce for you a positive conclusion hopefully weeks maybe months but i don't think it should last we have a goal of forty percent participation to help market share of the seed the largest part of feed when we come from which is of a brand of the us and it will be supported by renault from outside from the other side so it's got this a few teamwork made by three brands different to different people. to change the middle east is among the issues dominating talks and direct foreign investment into the region was its lowest level since two thousand and five continuing tensions are putting the company's business in the region at risk however russia's antivirus lab is positive about its operations in the middle east. it's found a set of the tensions have had no significant impact on the company's performance. president there were business in the middle east so there's no perfect too much.
12:27 am
still we are grieving the in the middle east and with their partners which are working of course it's a pretty sure now from there on this. situation in the region but it doesn't reflect our own our financial results our war in the world and too much. let's have a look at the markets now heading higher the concerns about it weighing in exports the international monetary fund warns of a twenty thirty percent price spike if there disrupt that grand blanc is trading at one hundred eleven dollars about. it's close to one hundred dollars. now into equities most asian stock markets struggle at the end of a modestly positive week of training shares game with mine is pushing the benchmark higher than tsang is trading flat in hong kong a drop in property she has dragged the markets after recent gains the nikkei is lower in tokyo as securities group fell two point nine percent in

12:32 am
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 famed academic cluster. the booter 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 or as it's called in physics. electron
12:33 am
accomplish this by shrinking the size divergence and energy spread of charged particles without losing any stray 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. most important from this tower looking electrons are shot down through the tube powerful electromagnets guide the electrons to the cooling chamber where they interact with a hot. which is made more focused as a result of the cooling. thanks to their unparalleled know how. produces these high tech pieces of machinery not just for themselves but for other research centers all over the globe. the first instance of electronic killing took place at the institute of nuclear physics here in the superior several installations were built for domestic use and the first
12:34 am
installation for export 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 cosey synchrotron there a 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 notice of beer cooler. so what we get by is this get new meaning quality and it means we.
12:35 am
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 charms 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
12:36 am
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 charm tau 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 accelerator and from this room a nuclear physicist 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
12:37 am
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. with the necessary planning for the project. designed all the buildings and facilities. commission from the. 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
12:38 am
positrons every second particles series of vacuum tubes where there sped up and. timed so that a particle is pushed forward each 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 funny little linear electron and positron accelerator will be located in this tunnel. it will take up this entire mostly empty space so it won't look as
12:39 am
if there is it does 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 factories. 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
12:40 am
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 charm tao factory plant at the institute should ensure that russia's 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. 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
12:41 am
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 technological innovation it's hoped that the strong scientific base in the academic cluster will prove. for the newest high tech startups the parts main goal is to help small and medium sized innovative companies get the running start that they need. developing for clusters. technical. and biomedicine as well as nanotechnology and materials for each of these clusters we're creating special and industrial facilities. facilities that have been specifically adapted for the work of the corresponding innovative companies benefiting from that is
12:42 am
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. inversion since. fiber based detectors that monitor building stress and deformation and right now they're busy installing those. focus tower and. the company is pushing that technology one step further 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 sense of development to measure temperature long it. can act as a signal in large lengths and it can be very canonical effective furthermore our sensors are absolutely spark an explosion proof which therefore they can be
12:43 am
used in coal mines but you chemical industries and so on where traditional exploring senses your butt off the bed and. the position. i want to commend in this room we're developing and researching our distributed fiber sensor systems and we're currently at the final testing stage because it's important for us to understand what the maximum distance is that which we can monitor the temperature and what resolution we can get a q during crease the distance here in the lab we use the 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 on this fiber goes along the wall from one school to another and eventually reaches our device so we have about six kilometers of fiber here with the section of the fiber we want to affect is located inside the cat so there's ten meters of fiber here so when we turn the
12:44 am
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 the peak is the water temperature inside the kettle we can even see it in more detail these peaks are processed by or a device which then determines whether a fire to employees or norms 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 others continue along this eleven just to get specific data from every section of
12:45 am
the fiber and this does it much faster than traditional detectors fibers like this could be used to relate 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 fill the air around us if you live in a metropolitan area chances are your lungs are under constant attack whether it be car exhaust secondhand smoke at your favorite bar or restaurant their potential to do long term harm is unabating fortunately there's another firm out the tech of parker's innovations help keep us safe from all kinds of airborne dangers. also located in the region's techno park is tionne 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
12:46 am
purify air well everywhere. attempted in a stolen them in different places such as restaurants and other areas where people eat. with household filtration devices we purified air from tobacco smoke which tried medical institutions but as some point we realized which is something that most startups trying to survive do that we had to narrow our specialization and focus on one particular segment in a particular market. in the past closed air filters have been made out of either paper or fiberglass but that's not the case here. instead they employ a layer upon layer of polypropylene fibers. look like much by themselves when they're stacked up there one of the best defenses against those pesky airborne intruders. to get the spindly threads needed
12:47 am
a little granules are first heated up and then spun. after they reach the right thickness the cylinder is removed. and placed into a. to make installation easier. but often simply catching the particles isn't enough to significantly reduce the risk of infection in hospitals life threatening microorganisms have to be destroyed and for that employs a multi-stage system against those harmful particles this is the crude filter which removes the big particles this is the ionization and ozone generation block this is the fine proof occasion filter capable of capturing particles that are already ionized i'm finally this is the absorption and catalytic filter which country's most pollutants orders in other words and last we have the ventilator the blues are the clean air but to better understand.
