troops are bombarded with a ten kilowatt charge this charge comes in handy later when the particle stick to polypropylene fibers becomes a static electricity but the charge splits 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 fung 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 in harmful. don't come out here in their testing lab you can see that the air flowing out of the filter is free from all those that were there. so whether it be in 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 some fit with the latest military hardware. but don't worry these aren't real 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's one. behind a tree. with a forest in the background to be hard to spot. even if the visibility were normal.

on the other side of a small man. 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 site. in terms of image processing i believe we're the leaders. we use a powerful processor that we've developed. it's based on very promising technology called high performance reconfigurable computing. because it gives us a very large optical band with nearly two times more energy efficient. it can run for four hours with only four double a batteries consuming three watts of

energy. now spotting this 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's second to no other non cool thermal site all the computing power is packed onto a series of circuit boards assembled by the skilled team of 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 all 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 megabytes of memory and much more. in such a small package where there's no this isn't. 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 semiconductor 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 known cool thermal sides with micro ball or metric matrices is falling 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 quality. they're close to expensive systems. so despite its small

size and light weight these newest sites 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 sites 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 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 work required for these casual games is often overlooked a dedicated team has to collaborate together to take it from a national idea to finished product and that's precisely what has assembled out here in novosibirsk as 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 show. talking about casual games we don't speaking about major blockbusters in the hard cold gaming genre only one has to spend in excess of hundreds of thousands of dollars. and that's true for one of the alum wars biggest titles the treasures of montezuma has proved so costly among casual gamers that it's already on its third iteration it's ranked as high as number two on the u.s. 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 the 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 alomar success even more satisfying for these developers. actually just this last december we released our first game of the windows phone seven platform scold from frenzy to watching it was a pleasure to see that the game immediately shot to the top 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 sealed in a day week month regardless the fact itself of being in the top list is rather nice . now maybe it's because many of us yearn for

a simpler life on the farm but whatever the reason farming games like this have proved 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 to more and more new titles and put them out on more and more new platforms not only for p.c.'s but also from max possibly sony playstation three up. the longer the bespectacled ians the most abilities 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 bandwagon despite all the funding games are mobile devices now offer us it's important to put

them down every once in a while as in the real world around us but in ways that will do for this edition of technology update will soon next time and until then enjoy the ride.

a massive opposition rally in damascus suburb with reports of several people killed while the u.n. set to debate a new resolution. libya's new leaders face accusations of torture as doctors without borders pulls out of a key city saying the same patients keep returning but with new interrogation injury also. the public politicians and hackers lash out against of the international online piracy pact with resignations and rallies to stop the act the deal hitting regular

internet users. from our headquarters in central moscow you're watching archie with me and he says now it's six pm here in the russian capital good to have you with us our top story a huge opposition demonstration has taken place in a damascus suburb with two people reportedly killed the area is now under control of the free syrian army and our correspondents are for it was there when the violence flared up. when we got there we were met by the free syrian army now have control of the area there was absolutely massive anti-government demonstration going on there's a funeral procession going on at the same time as well so we were able to speak to

the people who were living in this area to speak to some of the free syrian army members as well because of course a very little is known about who exactly these people are little is known about who exactly these people are really have made it very very clear to us just how divided the country is now becoming whilst we were there there was sort of a moment of confusion we did hear gunshots in the background some of the crowd got nervous and started running which for we we were all sort of told it was safer to leave and we then left that area a very tense situation certainly a very dangerous situation for the civilians in this area as well you go to these suburbs you can see bullet holes in the walls it's not really clarence so much of the country now who exactly has control and as he said you know the fact that this is now happening in a suburb just fifteen minutes will say from the city center here in damascus where he goes to show you just how much the situation here is now deteriorating or russia

has made its decision extremely clear that they're not going to back the western resolution whilst it doesn't rule out the sanctions the military intervention they've put their own proposal forward and you've had this sort of back and forth with neither sides really being able to come to some form of agreement i mean the big sticking point here really is the military intervention because so many different factions in the country it is even more still here in the country very very hard to really understand who exactly is in charge where he was the voice of the people because this is a originally a peaceful protest movement even now got increasingly arms opposition groups sent there's reports today that saudi arabia that could tar have said that they. getting to be back in your position and providing funding and all this is well and the last thing that anyone wants to see here at the moment is for this conflict to become even more even more violent because the daily death toll is you know just devastatingly high at the moment talking to the people in this suburb today they

were extremely emotional you know the people here in this country have lost all sense of safety all sense of security. for reporting from syria and feel to have a blog on our to dot com where she's constantly posting the latest updates and pictures as well you can check it out and learn more about every day by the suburbs of damascus also on our website we've caught up with the only foreign journalist prominently living in syria how many stream media coverage may be distorting what's really going on behind the scenes of that war or more for you are. now libya's new government is being accused of torture and abuse in detention centers but the home front today is suspending its mission and most robbers saying it's repeatedly treating patients for injuries sustained during interrogation with thousands of gadhafi loyalists still behind bars it's raising kids questions about

the people nato helped bring to power. now reports. doctors without borders known for going do their job in the most dangerous and notorious places around the globe but an end to see run leave 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 to churn of prisoners say the doctors and now off the 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 libya'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 their traditional 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. the february so the african migrants were rounded up locked in a detention center and burnt to death and the n.p.c. expressed 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 the m.t.c. to power is by itself raising questions. and high profile international team of human rights activists has been to leave here to investigate some of nato that it bears entity of

where with that if you go in the friends and there were guiding the air raids and they are acting them and court again meeting them if you are mandated. to protect the videos that. it is very very accurate in a way that i myself saw the killing of so many people in front of more my eyes i saw the killing of 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 the mission discovered again crimes against humanity but the goal was not to judge but to shed light on what happened and not to repeat the mistakes in

a 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. r.t. . there's further fallout from the notorious international online piracy pact it's being signed around europe a french m.e.p. has quit calling the act a deal in poland thousands marched in protest even m.p.'s down the anonymous hacker groups masks to sell their contempt like sirus has he reports from warsaw. down with censorship the end so i counter 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 trademarked material. is somehow illogical to me it's like punishing the corporation that produces knifes for. being used to kill somebody that will be used to monitor our internet activity i believe that talking through the internet email 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 of america this is job. and because they. truong businesses. are property laws 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 said. actually actor is about protecting intellectual property from music and books to pharmaceuticals and clothes similar in form to the stalled us bill sober and people that also sparked widespread protests however critics say actor was engineered in complete secrecy by parsing 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 have 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 as 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 out just terrorists. if you doubt 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 war so central square on friday to stop it becoming law in the space of just three days protests and phone have managed to get the 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. well let's now get some more on this from robert harris from the u.k.'s pirate party he now joins us live via broadband thanks for being with us making movies is a business and people who are involved surely expect and deserve profit for their work in africa isn't that what is designed to protect here. now after it is obvious is the rights of those who benefit the current copyright model which is completely outdated current how you both got the internet over is that why this. the more music and films that get stolen the last incentive there is to make any more but those sharing content argue it actually attracts more interest in genuine purchasing along the line where do you think the middle ground is here.

other than we think there's any middle ground i think we've got a group of people who benefit because current. who don't want to try and change anything and we've got a lobbyist i just bought a drawn in for that. on and i thought i think it's correct that the people who share music. online spend more than the fact that binge in result numerous studies have shown that. same as maybe other people in the day the industry needs to drive on to watch to make sure that the transforming new business ensured that you can still get profit in the car and i'd like to ask you about a separate development twitter saying it can now filter out tweets per country depending on local laws where the censorship hammer now fallen mean government ordering us out down when they're unhappy or twitter when it's seen as free speech platform in oppressive countries per se. i think we've got some twenty.

reading there it think about that i mean is that pharmacy censorship by ensuring an economic sense that there's a need and i will do censorship. very well i will tell you that we have people such as the prime minister in the u.k. here david cameron made a statement of the hope that that was why i've been directed. to about so i'm now down to doing feature. the big bonus we've got in the start to the arab spring. run about a year ago which heavily twitter to try and increase try and encourage social for apple's success and we don't want to have a situation with that not for the gap. all right robert harris from the u.k.'s pirate party thank you very much for your input. well if you're minutes from now

here in our to the euro's undergoes financial forensics in switzerland. the house and have nots gather in the swiss alps at the davos world economic forum to try to sort out the highs and lows of the global economy deeply in trouble and the future of the euro zone will have more coming up. in five names are cleared to run for russia's top job in march we'll tell you from winding up later on. we run can cut off its oil supplies to europe as early as next week in a rainy and m.p.'s signalled when they could flick the switch with part of them prepared to debate it on sunday is to preempt the e.u. embargo set to start in july which is designed to force iran into talks over its nuclear work tehran's repeatedly said in recent weeks that it's ready to do just that but the u.s. first wants to be wrong to prove its atomic program is peaceful nuclear inspectors are due there in the coming days syringe from the campaign against sanctions and military intervention in the wrong things to europe and the us are really

interested in talking. the grace period that the vision for six months for it is going 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 of feeling in the midst of politics on the power that the iranian 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 off the wrong foot nuclear issues really an excuse for deepening the confrontation between iran and the list actually as the same time that is imposing does involve those on the wrong if you see that some european countries are selling more arms to the countries to the arab countries off the page and also they are benefiting from this is iran the phobia vistar creating in the region so why solve the problem with negotiations by some countries are cashing in by deepening the conflict already.

we're keeping an eye on developments around iran and other world flashpoints that are to dot com many other stories there too here is what's lined up today a one time series overhaul reverberated worldwide twenty five years after me how did a bunch of introduced produce the i got to the u.s.s.r. we assess its successes and struggles. and nature gives norway a night to remember sit back and enjoy the show with one of the most spectacular northern lights displays in a long time it's on our to you tube channel right now. but delegates in davos have got their money on the table today as the world economic forum assesses the dollar euro and the long struggle eurozone in the future of heavily indebted greece is inevitably on the cards with cautious optimism and sharp criticism alike are just more lyster is in doubt but heard from a number.
