pollutants. in other words. we have the ventilator the clean air but to better understand this let's break it down a little more after the particle filled air passes the simple pre-filter their 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 also 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 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 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 as it entered 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 siberian forest along the way you can run into all kinds of people scientists engineers and even fitted with the latest military hardware. but don't worry. they're just dress the part to show off the latest thermal weapons sight developed at the institute of sydney 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 some wearing white. so no ordinary camouflage as you can see. we can spot any of them with just the naked eye. i'm trying to find the hidden goal. well you. can

monitor the process at the same time on the screen. there's one. behind a tree. with a forest in the background and it was going to be hard to spot him even if the visibility were normal. down 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 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

performance reconfigurable computing. it gives us a very large optical bond with. two times more energy efficient. it can run for four hours with only four double a batteries consuming three watts of energy. spawning those potential bad guys with such easy work because of the powerful image processor can 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 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 old as small as possible more than we have a micro. processor running at

a frequency of five hundred. programmable logic is comparable to a chip from a pentium it has several dozen megabytes of memory and much more. in such 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 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 price for these known 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 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 an idea to finished product and that's precisely what has assembled out here in novosibirsk as a result of their hard work there are 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 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. 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 list i pad app store a 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 our success even more satisfying to these developers. actually just this last december we released our first game on 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 come 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 and more and more new platforms not only for p.c.'s but also from max possibly sony playstation three up. the launch of the prospective audience 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 bandwagon despite all the fun games are mobile devices now offer us it's important to put them down every once in a while and see the real world around us but in ways that will do for this edition of technology we'll see you next time and until then enjoy the ride. wealthy british style holds a spot on the title. market why not come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's

caviar and a few economic issues on the side of the annual world economic forum in davos is just wrapping up but what was actually accomplished more lister is in switzerland with the latest. you have the right to remain silent but how long you can keep silence is quite another matter especially considering the enhanced interrogation tactics the government uses these days we'll speak to a former cia agent who tells us why his interrogation days are over. and that's like asking everybody to wear condoms in their home and i don't think the government should be interrelated regulating sex given the porn industry under

wraps a new long los angeles has this is the industry all worked up but why is the government regulating the use of condoms when there are so many other issues at stake. good evening it's friday january twenty seventh eight pm in washington d.c. my name is christine and you're watching our t.v. . well the world economic forum is now wrapping up in davos switzerland on the agenda for this conference of the global elite discussions about economic growth global competitiveness education technology and health among other things today also a large focus on the crisis in the euro zone now are two more lister host of the capital account and also our own financial guru is in davos right now and she joined me a short while ago i asked her what's been on the agenda in davos and more importantly

what's not being discussed take a look yeah it will speak to that point i know this is something we've been talking about that the official agenda maybe isn't as important as the unofficial one but today i feel like i was really testing that because the euro zone discussions really made a lot of headlines there was a big debate of finance ministers and the economic and monetary affairs for the european union timothy geitner spoke about the u.s. economic outlook there were just some big news making debates and so the first time that i'm in the congress center to kind of get everybody's response to you know how they felt about the comment that came out on the euro zone and and that kind of thing they kind of look at you with a quizzical stare kind of like. what are you talking about you know. what is the most important thing that people when i ask them what you know what is the value in davos for you it's all the same kind of thing larry summers says you can see more people in one day than you can in a year you know that it's easier for the networking dare i say i was a u.s.

politician a congressman said the same thing it's the one place where you can see all these heavy hitters and network that's really it also c.e.o.'s i talk to c.e.o. bill gross of ideologues and said you know he's here he has this new idea this new business pre-fab houses for india and he gets there and starts networking about it and suddenly out of customers and he's you know figuring things out and getting buzz and possibly business from it so that is what seems to be driving the agenda because you know everybody's the world sees what's going on you know maybe sound bites from these these forums on the stage and maybe they matter to the people that are on there but i'm seeing the view of that yes but but the congress center which is where all of this gathering we're all these people are when they're not on stage there and it's a very different thing what people are talking about and caring about. and i know lauren here recently i think it was just a couple days ago federal reserve chairman ben bernanke spoke and basically said the same thing he's been saying for years now that interest rates will once again be kept near zero talk about what those you're meeting there in dollars are saying

i know lawmakers and others and how this decision that's been made time and time again affects this country. no one i talked to is very interested in the fed very concerned about the fed really talks about the fed when they talk about the economic problems that maybe they're thinking about and to give you an example i did bring this question to a couple of u.s. senators that i did stumble upon bob corker and also chambliss who's a senator as well and i said you know if the economy is proving as improving as timothy geithner says why are interest rates being kept at zero by the fed you know and their to their answer was over the economy's improving as much the fed's trying to help but then when you continue that discussion you know what impactors zero percent interest rates have. on congress' inability to rein in the debt and to rein in spending and those issues and bob corker admitted he said you know if interest rates were higher the congress would be forced to take a closer look at debt and spending which is a huge issue for the united states which has fifteen trillion dollars in debt and

if really congress coming up with some solutions is all the u.s. has in store which is something that timothy geithner was banking on according to his remarks that the u.s. is in trouble not only because as the senator said that's not going to happen they're not going to agree on anything but also because they don't really have the fire lit under their rear ends to really do anything and it's an they said you know i don't think that's the fed's intention it's not maybe but there's unintended consequences for everything and i think that's a big one. you know it's really interesting when we talk about the agenda and we talk about this conference in general as a whole it seems to me you know one of the reasons you're there to is to network is to is to talk to people in this business and kind of find out their story get to the bottom of it how much actual questioning of the scheduled speakers is happening is this just sort of listen and. or is there actual questioning of the policies in the system that's in place right now. that is a good question because there is

a quite there as question and answer sessions and some of these you know debates and they have debates so these are people these are important employing people that are out there debating these issues but the thing that really sticks out to me is that they're all debating from a very establishment perspective for example there was a. session on banks are too big and the consequences of banks that are too big and it was roubini obviously you know very well known economists and you had. got a central banking background and some finance ministers and they're all debating this but from within the viewpoint of the current system so when they talk about how you know small banks are really they want to historically fail not big banks so we shouldn't really be as worried about this well why don't big banks fail because they get bailed out by governments and they get supported by federal reserve banks now why isn't that question that a time when people are out on the streets protesting bailouts and that's not just people that are the ninety nine percent those are people i talk to that are the one percent that just are wall street bankers or c.e.o.'s of these huge multinational

companies so corporations i should say so really you know the debate is framed in a very stylish way which i think is concerning when you do have the one thing i will say is a congressman a u.s. congressman he said you know i come here for the networking but also it's kind of one stop shopping to see where the global economy is going you know i can find out what's happening in greece what the prognosis is all of these things if that's the case no wonder we have the problems we have because everybody is just following the same herd mentality and kind of same set of different establishment arguments without really hearing very many contrarian view points if any that i've heard personally well it's certainly there is a group in this country that has some major contrarian view points those are the occupy wall street protesters you've been talking this week about how some are actually gathered there and i think i read that even the founder of this forum the world economic forum klaus schwab has invited some of them to come and have a negotiating session with and what can you tell us about that will that happen and if it does a sort of just a p.r. stunt or will something actually come out of that. my read on this just from

gathering kind of the telling of this forum and talking to a lot of people is this is good p.r. this looks good i'm not saying that maybe klaus schwab isn't very in concerned about inequality or doesn't care about what these protesters saying i'm just saying that the world economic forum's agenda and logs agenda is not reflective of what the twenty six hundred participants here in davos at this forum are here to pursue that's you know that's the organization's agenda maybe that it that it's putting on or what they're concerned with but that's not everybody's concern so with the occupy protesters that are here they were invited to this open forum on remodelling capitalism but this is an event that is open to everybody this isn't at the congress center this isn't really just the davos crowd this is anybody from the community can go occupy protesters did go klaus schwab did invite them to discuss their issues to have a meeting and when i talked to the occupy protester they were negotiating how to do that where to do it when to do it we're looking to do that but as i said you know the clash of is one man he's an organizer he's not reflective of everybody i don't

think it will we will look forward to having you back here in d.c. enjoy the rest your time there are two years lauren lyster host of the capital account. well this month marked ten years since the u.s. government opened the prison at guantanamo bay and three years since president obama said he have a closed it is as we know though still open for business with one hundred seventy one detainees locked up there the anniversary and also what we've learned goes on inside there over the years has caused many people to take a closer look at all policies regarding suspects in the so-called global war on terror now there is one man who knows firsthand about some of those policies because he spent years working as a cia interrogator he served twenty three years in the cia worked on four different continents and also spent some time at u.s. quote black sites these are places used to describe secret prisons that are off limits to everyone including human rights organizations like the red cross and some of the most secret business in the world is conducted there his name is glenn carle

and he's the only we're tired so. a spy who gives a detailed account of what happens but a specific case told in the story of a man he himself was told to interrogate a man who he quickly realized was not the high profile al qaeda operative he was believed to be as outlined in his book the interrogator i spoke to glen karl just a short time ago and i asked him to share what he could about this man in the book he refers to as kept us and whether or not he was indeed a terrorist but we certainly believed he was a terrorist there had been a mountain of work done on him over the years we knew everything about the man and the assessment was that he was one of the top half dozen officers senior people in and that's why we rendered him which in this instance most kidnaps in really off the street i phoned over a period of weeks i was involved for about three months that my assessment of him was starkly at all odds with the assessment that the institution the cia and that

in fact he was not the committed geodes or member of al qaida that we had a system to be and again as a retired cia agent i know that everything you write has has to be cleared by publications review board. don't have the same first amendment rights that i do i thought it was really interesting that when you submitted your book to the board or when you wrote about in the board and many it for publication you decided to keep in the book the parts you were forced to blackout rather than just cutting those portions were showing pictures of the book right now with those blacked out why and why did you decide to do this. well it was a debate i had with the publisher actually i was concerned that it might distract the reader and some readers have been distracted to get stuck or blacked out passage where really what all one needs to do is to jump over and keep reading the narrative flows they were kept in however to show the average citizen that. the censorship of my book was quite extensive the government legally the cia

legally has the mission to protect sources and methods from being revealed that's a fine legitimate task i accept the importance of that but they actually censored a poem by ts eliot and a poem by roger kipling and a number of other things that were just foolish clearly intended to break up the story and well beyond their purview so we wanted the public to see the nonsense i had to contend with and again i know that you can't give the name of the person or the specific region where this happened there are a lot of theories out there about where that might be and who it might be but more i want to talk specifically about some of these policies what you were asked to use from what i understand these are policies that were at one time considered controversial and too tough but under the george w. bush administration that changed some even considered too mild now a lot of what you were asked to do became known to be enhanced interrogation measures what exactly does the term mean and to what exactly do these techniques

work. well i refused to do them frankly and to the extent i had influence while i did i stopped them from being used when i was able to there are two kinds of enhanced interrogation measures there are psychological and physical ones they're all intended to do the following the theory is that if you cite that this is the term used if you psychologically dislocates the detainee then he will become more willing to share information and more able to the interrogator will be more able to manipulate him to obtain the information the way you do this psychological dislocation is by disorienting someone either physically you can establish dominance and fear. these are measures that were defined as hitting or throwing them against the wall things like that physical measures then the psychological measures are much more frankly important and lasting and significant in the use and

they play upon the five senses sight sound hearing taste touch and if you distort we all see the world through our senses and sense and have a sense of ourselves from our senses if you disorient those very quickly a person loses a sense of who he is where he is in the even how to interact with the world that's not hard to do it's a bad thing and it doesn't work it doesn't have anything to do with extracting intelligence it does have to do with breaking someone down i think that's an important point and i want to talk now about the larger implications of what you brought about policies that are designed by the government that actually affect people human beings as well as the reputation of this country glenn and what is the imperative that people know based on your experience about some of these policies. well there are so many things first of all no american no one anywhere but certainly no american official or no american citizen should even be having a debate about the merits of enhanced interrogation or torture the fact that we're

discussing this sometimes in supposedly rational terms is a sign of how far we have slid off the center of what it is to be an american citizen america is the antithesis of abusing a detainee for any reason one does not need to do it first it's wrong second it doesn't work it does not work and third it's un-american and has nothing to do with our evaluation as a nation so one should take that away the only people who have been involved in these programs who have spoken out there for cia officer myself and f.b.i. officer into air force officers all of us say the same things and none of us know each other and that is these measures don't work they're un-american they're actually illegal and they're they have nothing to do with what we should be doing as professionals or as a society like a lot of family people if they don't work why is it fatuous widespread practice i mean i can only assume that there's so much more than than i could possibly know about but this is widely used. where there are deep psychological reasons why people will try to impose their will in

a lot of it comes down to subconscious frankly. efforts to dominate an established control the a lot of the measures are designed to humiliate and put the person in his subordinate position it's a power trip frankly it's not dissimilar to the motivations for many people in of many people in rape rape is not an act of love rake rape is an act of power projection and domination and humiliation and in almost all instances and certainly enhanced interrogation accomplishes that it does not accomplish what it's supposed to do which is obtain information and i think people don't realize the war extent there's the domination submissiveness of projection of power and strength. behind all of this here's something i had nothing to do with what an interrogation should be something i always wonder about things normal and natural that intelligence agents could make mistakes they get the wrong guy they get the wrong facts you think why is it necessary that you know it's always assumed that they

have the right person these techniques are continually used even when it starts to become clear that there might be some holes in the case i mean i think that a person captured and tortured that it isn't they have quite a bit of incentive afterwards to be pretty angry. the whole anyone who's who is subjected to these things certainly has cause for anger. i think two points are important to make in response to your comment though to my knowledge i believe it's true also that the obama administration has formally repudiated and stopped the use of enhanced interrogation techniques in fact the first executive order of the obama administration in the first day of its presidency was to stop all of these measures from being used that's very important because they have been largely repudiated why does one persist in doing these when people who know what they're talking about firsthand oppose them all i think there's the power issue and the issue that you touched upon in your comment.
