this let's break it down a little more after the particle filled air passes the simple pre-filter there electrodes are bombarded with a ten kilowatt charge this charge comes in handy later when the particles stick to polypropylene fibers becomes a static electricity but the charge of oxygen molecules creating ozone using something called the corona discharge method the resulting rich oxygen environment is toxic to all the little bacteria viruses and fun guy which means this filter does more than simply get rid of simple dust and dirt given that it can be a matter of life and death at hospitals to make sure that all the particles and harm. come out in their testing lab you can see that the air flowing out of the filter is free from all those that were there. so with coffee shops or operating rooms technology make sure that the air we breathe is as clean as possible. in north of years academic cluster you're never much more than

a short walk away from the deep siberian forest along the way you can run into all kinds of people scientists engineers and even fit with the latest military hardware . but don't worry these aren't real gunmen they're just dress the part to show off the latest thermal weapons site developed at the institute of city conductor physics here in novosibirsk. now we'll try to locate the three fighters with sniper rifles who have hidden themselves. there somewhere here in this forest. so no ordinary come a flash as you can see we can spot any of them with just the naked eye. i'm trying to find that. you. can monitor the process at the same time on the screen. there is one. hiding behind
12:50 am
a tree. with the forest in the background be hard to spot him even if the visibility were normal. on the other side of a small man and. i can just see the edge of his face and hood. the third one. is in an abandoned construction site in the corner of a dark room with a metal grating. so we found all three fighters it's hard to hide from a thermal. in terms of image processing i believe we are the leaders. we use a powerful processor that we've developed. it's based on very promising technology . computing. it gives us a very large optical band with. two times more energy efficient. it
12:51 am
can run for four hours with only four double a batteries consuming three watts of energy. now spotting those potential bad guys with such easy work because of the powerful image processor within the site despite its low energy demands it still produces image quality that second to no other non cool thermal sight computing power is packed onto a series of circuit boards assembled by the skilled team the engineers know it may look like a never ending maze of copper silicon and plastic to you or me but to those that built it it's a thing of computing elegance. trying to obtain as much functionality as we could while keeping it as small as possible more than we have a microprocessor capable of running at a frequency of five hundred. the programmable logic is comparable to a chip from a pentium or it has several dozen mega. memory and much more. in such
12:52 am
a small package but this isn't the limit of what we can do and we're already looking into how it can be made smaller and better. traditionally the best thermal sites had to employ cryogenic cooling but that made them both bulkier and far more expensive but thanks to recent advances those from the institute of silly conductor physics can offer us the best of both worlds. we figured out. how to distribute power in terms of the range. averaging it out along the whole spectrum. in such a way that the signal coming from long distances is the same as from short distances. the prize for these cool thermal sites with micro ball or metric matrices is pulling drastically. we expect to be able to put such cameras in mobile phones in fifteen years in affordable mobile phones of course. in terms of image
12:53 am
quality. they're close to expensive system. so despite its small size and light weight these newest sights allow us to see things previously impossible on such devices whether we're looking straight into the sun or trying to spot something on the waterfront that's no problem for soldiers equipped with these sights designed and manufactured right here in siberia but if time is the only thing you need to kill there's one company that makes waiting for you less than punctual for a little more enjoyable. entertainment russian game designers and artists are hard at work to distract you from yours the games may seem simple compared to blockbusters like quake and modern warfare the amount of work required for these casual games is often overlooked a dedicated team has to collaborate together to take it from any idea to finished product and that's precisely what has assembled out here in novosibirsk as
12:54 am
a result of their hard work they're by far the largest and most successful gaming company in eastern europe and based on what they've done lately they can clearly compete with the best that the west has to offer but they found that with accolades and success come ever growing considerations. kind of financial resources that you work with at the beginning and what kind now. thousands one could spend something like ten thousand dollars or even less to make a game that's completely competitive. today to make a game that would be his in its own zone. as soaking about casual games we don't speaking about major blockbusters in the hard cold gaming genre one has to spend in excess of hundreds of thousands of dollars. and that's true for one of alan moore's biggest titles the treasures of montezuma has proved so comfy among casual gamers that it's already on its third iteration it's ranked as high as number two on the
12:55 am
newest i pad app store list of most games with each new version in the montezuma series the developers have to give players a reason to pony up the cash for the latest one and that's what seems to drive increasing costs as you can see it takes far more than a few clicks of the mouse to make an idea for a new game come to life and that's something that makes our success even more satisfying for these developers. actually just this last december we released our first game on the windows phone seven platform scold from frenzy to it was a pleasure to see that the game immediately shot to the twelfth of the us marketplace it was the fifth most popular on that lists unfortunately i'm not ready to brag about any specific figures in terms of downloads because it's a new plant from and there's not yet enough information as to how much for example fourth plane is sealed in a day week month regardless the fact itself of being in the top list is rather nice
12:56 am
. now maybe it's because many of us yearn for a simpler life on the farm but whatever the reason farming games like this can prove to be a big success but nowadays it's not enough to release a game on just one platform you have to cover them all to have a chance at a hit. where planning to develop and trade more and more new titles and put them out and more and more new platforms not only for p.c.'s but also from max possibly sony playstation three up. and so what's the launch of the bespectacled eons the most possibilities on the coasts are not as high as they used to be. so with companies like al or round it's safe to say that sites like this are only going to become more common but it's no longer just teenagers and twenty somethings from middle age to retirees nearly everyone is getting in on the casual game
12:57 am
bandwagon despite all the funding games our mobile devices now offer us it's important to put them down every once in awhile and see the real world around us but in ways that will do for this edition of technology they will do next time and until then enjoy the ride. cultures that so much going to do you should be finishing right on the mark with the libyan intervention line and the specter of civil war libya's transitional way from the gadhafi regime is proving far more problematic.

1:00 am
shocking revelations in an already troubled post gadhafi in libya has human rights groups accuse the military of torturing detainees to death. angry activists back on the streets of poland to protest against the government's signing of a key international anti policy act they say would result in internet censorship. iran considers banning oil sales to europe had a big decision to stop importing crude from the country in july but tehran says it's ready for negotiations over its nuclear program.
1:01 am
you're watching the world news and much more twenty four hours a day there are several detainees in libya have died in recent weeks as a result of torture according to amnesty international and human rights group says the crimes were committed by the libyan military and security forces the accusations follow similar claims by french medical aid agency thousands of gadhafi loyalists remain behind bars and are suffering the same atrocities and it out on the late colonel's regime. is more. doctors without borders known for going do their job in the most dangerous and notorious places around the globe but in n t c iran libya the group has encountered a formidable obstacle they couldn't overcome burns from electric shocks and cigarettes heavy bruising and renal failure all these evidence of the continue of
1:02 am
prisoners say the doctors and now after two inmates died from beatings the international group has stopped its mission in protest. patients were brought to us in the middle of interrogation for medical care in order to make them fit for further interrogation this is an acceptable our rule is to provide medical care to war casualties and sick detainees not to repeatedly treat the same patients between torture sessions the news comes amidst rising anger with levy's interim government demonstrations in benghazi last week ended with the resignation of a high ranking member of the m.t.c. in the former gadhafi stronghold of bani walid locals pushed out the council forces claiming systematic abuse it started with the very beginning of the rebellion very beginning of the insurrection the second day of the rebellion eighteenth of february so the african migrants were rounded up locked in
1:03 am
a detention center and burnt to death and the n.p.c. expressed their support for this time and this is part of the strategy of the west you know divide and rule and that was given the green light of the torture and execution that we're seeing now so this is a recipe for civil war meanwhile the nato operation that brought them to see to power is by itself raising questions. a high profile international team of human rights activists has been to leave here to investigate some of make sure that it bears entity of where with that if you go in the friends and there were guiding the air raids and they addicting them and court have been meeting them if you are mandated. to protect. that thought it is very very accurate in
1:04 am
a way that i myself saw the killing of so many people in front of more my eyes i saw the killing go fifty one people in front of my eyes being dissed was fifteen years old and while all sides and the live in conflict are to blame for violence and violations the human rights activists claim not all of them have been held responsible for their wrongdoings investigating what happened during labor seven months civil war and the nato campaign to protect civilians this fact and mission discovered again crimes against humanity but the goal was not to judge but to shed light on what happened and not to repeat deadly mistakes in recent united nations report has revealed that up to eight thousand supporters have been held by militia groups in libya right now and with numerous occasions of torture and revenge killings throughout the country hopes of a new beginning for libya are fading quickly raef notion or r.t.
1:05 am
. well libya's post gadhafi government the national transitional council has so far failed to bring peace and stability to the country coming up later here in r.t. people abandon his guests on cross talk to bait why the militias who overthrew the colonel were reluctant to obey the new leaders. who the hell is the n.p.c. who are these people after all these months it's still very opaque who are they. well you know we we know that these are people who who who were privileged and under the old regime and who decided they could be more privileged under a western style regime i mean you know this thing about wanting democracy when when i've seen it or you didn't hear it because there's just not to your only yes when i don't even finish i haven't said anything and you're interrupting me. i am saying there you have you said. which are simply not true what my problem. my
1:06 am
problem with the m.d.c. is that a lot of the. exiles that have come back and some of my actually lived in the suburbs of langley and that's my issue ok my issue is that these are western gets. as a matter of fact one of the issues in libya is right now that when you talk to libyans they refer to the t.n.c. the transitional council as a government off foreigners and so i think you put your finger right on the mark these are not cronies of gadhafi as a matter of fact most of those people have been arranged out the t.n.c. has brought in and i'm not even if you are going to. we're exiles. in a sense that is part of the problem and why they are not legitimate is because they really have no standing in the country at this point. more angry protests have broken out in poland of the government gave it supports who are those who know an international piracy treaty activists say the pact known
1:07 am
as actor opened doors for the monitoring of online activities and true freedom of expression poland join several other e.u. countries in a closed door signing ceremony in japan on this day. with censorship the end so i can do a few trade agreement known as act which poland signed on thursday. has upset many internet users across the country in the small town of lupul in alone several thousand people hit the streets fearing the treaty would allow corporations to crackdown on the freedom of speech online the idea of funding. for publishing the. marriage material. is somehow illogical to me it's like let's say punishing the corporation that produces knifes for. being used to kill somebody that will be used to monitor our internet activity i believe
1:08 am
that talking through the internet email jockeying for a form of self-expression this was yet another rally in a whole string of protests held in poland since tuesday large crowds in several cities voiced their anger at the government for signing the document most of the country's government websites were hijacked by the anonymous group they had threatened to reveal sensitive information about the authorities should they go ahead with the act there are certain countries which are very interested in. this is. this is job. and because they were strong businesses. or property and they want to enforce it all over the world but this doesn't mean that this is good for the people and this is why would we have this protest in poland because people feel oppressed by that essentially actor is about protecting intellectual property from music and books pharmaceuticals and
1:09 am
clothes similar in form to the stalled u.s. bill so that also sparked widespread protests however critics say act it was engineered in complete secrecy bypassing government procedures and the criminal punishment it allows alerted many in the legislation must be founded in the public opinion of what's right and wrong when you. of a copyright industry that's talking about extraditing a person who has done nothing but linking to t.v. shows extradition does something useful murder and genocide does this is such an abuse of power. think its time is more than ripe for a serious review of what we want with copyright law and it's certainly not calling . just terrorists.
1:10 am
this will happen given that prime minister to six party holds a majority in the same government says the agreement is not a threat to freedom but maintained the internet should not be a space of legal. but protesters say they will bring even more people to warsaw central square on friday to stop it becoming law in the space of just three days protests unfold have managed to gather tens of thousands of people and while this is still little chance that this bill would not make it through parliament the rallies unlikely to die down lets you assess the r.t. reporting from poland. ok of the u.k. pirate party says the agreement is just as outrageous and harmful as similar legislation abandoned by lawmakers in america following mass protests there. this is part of a line along a long line of attacks on civil liberties and internet freedom the actor agreement is just right. that we've seen the the soap
1:11 am
which was already dropped by the united states under a wave of. protests now the actor agreement has the potential to be just as dangerous or even more so to the very fabric of the internet and our economy so that it it's actually going to me that there's going to be an acceptable level of surveillance on all of our internet connection essentially what this agreement does this is your internet service provider into a kind of police officer and that's really one of the problems about the changes that. brings about it makes a copyright infringer a criminal offense which is in fact entirely new move. ahead view this out of the fiscal function of the year the world economic forum enters its third day as international movers and shakers continue talks about the future of the global
1:12 am
economy. iran says it's considering cutting oil supplies to europe preempting an e.u. embargoed you to come into force in july the country's lawmakers are set to debate the move on sunday in the parliament spokesman added that the draft bill is being finalized it comes as the e.u. imposed sanctions in an attempt to force it back to the negotiation table its nuclear program iran's president mahmoud ahmadinejad's tehran is ready to return to talks but its opponents need to compromise. from the campaign against sanctions and military intervention in iran says the country is acting to protect its sovereignty . the grace period that the vision for six months for does go to take place may actually not be that graceful so iran is taking matters into his own hands and the other issue is that it shows a complex city of feeling in the midst of politics and the power that the iranian
1:13 am
parliament holds and that is accountable to its people and it's not going to just sit back and watch what's going to happen to the national sovereignty of the wrong there the it shows the disconnect between. his harlem and his people because this is not something which is going to be to the benefit of european people and there's also this kind of fifteen european governments on their parliament as well i mean it's not the most ideal situation for iran because iran has to find different consumers for costumers where it's all about the same time iran is going to be to decrease this dependence on the petro dollar this is a very good thing in their lot longer and of course they remain middle class the small businesses who would actually do business with him businesses there are going to suffer but that is the iran claims that that is for short term and in the long term this is actually going to lead to more independence for iraq as a whole as a nation not just not just one part of the society which is investing in foreign
1:14 am
businesses. but while the u.s. and europe continue to hit around the sanctions and strong rhetoric and suggestion of military action against the islamic republic leaves many americans cold what is going to turn these in the country's capital to gauge opinion. so while the obama administration says its war with iran is still on the table and washington hawks come up with even harsher statements we should brace the iranian regime i think within a year the majority of americans may sense that their opposition to more wars which is reflected in always and polls is being ignored in washington residents of charlottesville in virginia took the matter to their city council which passed the resolution calling on the federal government to end all its wars and avoid starting the new one with iran the biggest threat right now is that we will get jackknifed into or a war against iran which would be a disaster for the people of iran and for the people of charlottesville and the
1:15 am
rest of our country david swanson is the co-author of the resolution adopted by the charlottesville city council. of popular will as always been against wars unless pushed in dragged by very manipulative propaganda and they have been trying those who want war on iran have been trying unsuccessfully for years to get the american people on board i went out on the street to see how many people i would meet who want the u.s. to attack iran. do you think the u.s. should attack iran no no not at all the last thing we see today it's a terrible idea one of the worst ideas i think i have heard a while yeah that would be horrible yeah because they're good guys but because. i think another war is just a horrific idea look all the republicans you know certain ones over that who want to give just can't wait to get us in war it really doesn't look good at all do you think the u.s. should attack iran yes just one out of more than
1:16 am
a dozen interviews and it's not just people on the street but many experts in the security field warn against starting a war with iran including the former acting director of the cia people keep saying that the military option is. it is still on the table i think it would be a very bad option but the latter one to use one of the big problems with iran is that if you get into. an open confrontation a military confrontation your risk a cycle of retaliation and response. with great difficulty seeing where the end point is the question one may ask is how does washington continue talking wars with so many americans against them i have a hard time thinking of any example of any issue on which the conduct of our government in washington or responds with majority opinion war is not some kind of exception the public is against bailouts for bankers the public is against subsidies for energy companies the public is against wars the public is against
1:17 am
just about every decision made on important issues in washington the fact of the matter is that majority of americans don't want any new wars on their plate poll showed they were opposed to u.s. involvement in libya's law but the government went about it anyway many says that the rift between what americans want and what leaders do in the name of the american people is getting larger i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . much more from just a few clicks away welcome to our web site to get the latest updates on all the best videos here's a taste security control over privacy violation the social network set to become the f.b.i.'s main weapon in combating domestic threats is all the details online also. you know long sought one republican presidential candidate puts forward the proposal of making the satellite america's fifty first state. to moscow crowd.
