and that d.-day for greece is march twentieth after that optimism which was kind of the headline coming out of that we hasn't seen fitch the credit ratings agency downgrade five e.u. nations this includes italy and spain which are two of the economies that are very much of the biggest concern when you're talking about the eurozone debt crisis because they are much larger economies than greece they're both dealing with problems of their debt and of the funding of their debt which we've seen a lot of discussion here at davos over what is the best way to deal with we know george soros has his own plan i don't know if european union leaders are calling him now to take another look at it after these downgrades that something we'll have to watch for today. well mccrary a chief economic correspondent told the u.k.'s independent newspaper but news that greece is effectively already in default and that a cascade is imminent. i don't think you have to be a whiz at math to figure out that is not just the indebtedness of some countries but also the euro oh the common currency is

a single currency for an area where some countries need a devaluation i don't know whether technically greece is going to be in default or not but if you're repaying thirty or forty cents in the euro your debt and the write down is going to something like that could be four to six forty if you're lucky thirty if you're unlucky that it any rational six is a country defaulting on its debts and whether technically that it is or whether it take it seems to me to be not that relevant because once you've dealt with greece ok you try and have to put a fireball behind that but people may say look if i'm not going to get my money back on greece why should i learn to portugal why should i lend to spain why should i lend to italy well still to come few in the program russia's future lympics host city plans to overshadow its most famous european this key was or competitors entice fans of winter sports action. millions of shop

owners in india fighting for their survival as the threat of outside competition knocks at the door while entry for international supermarket giants has been shelved there are those who argue the move would be good for consumers and employment what is pressuring this ticket. this dry food store has been instituted 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 no longer want to help six generations of our family grew financially and provided us with everything but now seeing child one's way of life could be at risk after years of pressure the indian government decided to allow foreign multibillion retailers the likes of tesco and wal-mart 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 o'connor mishear argued 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 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 what more does it go but the small business will be swallowed by wilma like the way small fishes are written by the big fishes in the sea these small family run businesses will be completely destroyed jeopardizing the financial situation of families and children for now however opposition within india has stalled the decision for. being finalized store owners like seeing 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 the businessmen in india we will not allow this to happen in. resisting outsiders from potentially destroying his family's tradition pre-history there are tea delhi india. to neighboring pakistan where more than one hundred thousand people took to the streets to protest about protests was organized by the country's business leaders their supporters demand the government continues its blockade on they too supplies crossing into afghanistan demonstrators also condemned drone

winter olympics host city sochi is hoping to attract fans of adrenaline packed winter activities what is done is polaski reports now on the modern resorts challenging the traditional ski regions. it's no way unschooled in the caucasus mountains but it's the hardest time for ski for so many like this couple. even came from as far as say period for the season's grand opening in sochi it's neat to see mrs now that. it's thirty snowing a month ago so much snow who wanted to ride so badly and now we had this. super good this is also cool to a brand new resort just off the black sea coast with a number of plans to attract ski fans who might otherwise prefer a winter break in france or switzerland kilometers those tracks throws up that will be able to compete with many european resorts no it means six to ten thousand tourists will be able to ski here to show your work and seasonal warm weather left a few foreign destinations a little high and dry but then steph here it was

a cougar became snowed under with work as skiers sold out new resorts just a little while and you. believed and everyone enjoyed. very positive feedback this morning yes that's true. but there are also photos biggest test is yet to come in february and march which was just about spoiled two thousand and fourteen winter olympics it will mean poorest will be strictly off list but for now they're making the most of the snow the freedom and even the romance amid the russian winter it's great as there is snow is so much but you said it was supposed to give us an idea why went downhill so if you'll excuse me. like i love dennis b r t r t sochi russia now the issue of global warming is still one that challenges and divides the international community the science struggles to find solutions to the problem what is our half of this talent on the streets of the big apple to find out what ordinary americans are ready to give up to help out

. today legislators are introducing more and more bills to help curb the effects of global warming what are you willing to do to help out this week let's talk about that would you be willing to do not blow dry your hair anymore yes that i'd be willing to that would you be willing to dry your clothes on the line and never use or drying machine i don't know about that though it's about it depends would you be willing to change your behavior like say i walk into any destination that's under two miles instead of driving like what i'm doing today is that yes yeah yeah yeah absolutely absolutely it's a best idea i've heard so far well it's good what about showering for under a minute. i'm always skin and they were pretty much broke saw lots of electrical. not that there was money don't become the postal is the clock on the market were

going to do you think most people are willing to change their daily behavior even though i'm a little proud to call him selfish but you know they don't really care about the planet until until it affects them personally unfortunately that's the world we live in whether or not you're willing to change your energy consumption habits now the bottom line is you might just have to in the future if global warming continues to progress. phone recap our top stories for you shortly stay with us here.

takes yet another pounding this time with credit rating fitch downgrading five more european nations even as its leaders try to soothe concerns of the world economic forum in davos. next to this month's technology update program gets close to the secrets of the universe that looks at what siberia has to offer the science of tomorrow. hello and welcome to technology update this month we've ditched the bright lights and credits streets of moscow for snow cover novosibirsk now this fridge and siberian city is actually a hotbed of russian scientific activity and our first stop takes us to an institute that's long been the heart of the region's famed academic cluster. the

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

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

electron volts cooler is headed for the ula to research center in germany the facility is part of a european union sponsored effort to better understand the fundamental hadrons the 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 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 team quality and it means we. have much. in the momentum range very small. the 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 a new complex main objective as regards the factory is to increase the installations efficiency to the power of three that means by a thousand times to study the decay of particles you have to produce

a certain number of them and then observe them so now we want to produce a thousand times more particles than it's now possible at any other installation for the time being though that super chantelle factory is still a ways away from becoming a reality but that doesn't mean the scientists here are waiting around for that to happen the institute has already built a new high 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. are already. understanding. our very existence. building. a very complicated project. so

a part of the. ready completed. with the necessary planning for the project. 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. focused on the existing. the particle accelerator here has the create one trillion electrons and twenty. second particles. where there sped up and. timed so that a particle is pushed forward time it goes through a gap between the. energy climbs the faster and faster they go.

from the injector room the particles are. accumulated into the electron and positron being. adequately concentrated and they. are reduced to one of two. look at them from the look across to the linear electron and positron accelerator will be located in this tunnel much of it will take up this entire mostly empty space so it won't look as if there was it does now. excel razor will raise the electrons and positrons energy to the level required for the super john 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. this trait of fortune should be continued to form semicircles into the left and right of the semicircle should come together in a large hall equipped with the detector of. a special building will be built above the detector it will include the control room and the detector support systems of course the whole hasn't been finished yet. further financing is required in order

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

regional governments decided to use that history to create a unique environment to spur on technological innovation it's hoped that the strong scientific base in the academic cluster will prove. 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 new materials for each of these clusters we're creating special tree and industrial facilities. facilities that have been specifically adapted for the work of the corresponding innovative companies benefiting from that is inversion since they're working on the next generation. 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 . focused 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 the large language it can be very canonical effective furthermore our senses are absolutely spark an explosion proof which therefore they can be used in coal mines but you chemical industries and so on where traditional exploring senses your butt off the bed and. the portion.

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

from the signals coming in. the second they calculate a temperature. of one of the third computer the relationship between temperatures and time of year 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 our device which should then determines whether a fire to employees or not and to prep the optic fibers for detection a method called bragg grading is employed this involves a laser i ching a pattern hunch 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 all others continue along this eleven just to get specific data from every section of the fiber and this does it much faster than traditional detectors fibers like this could be used to relay an ever growing amount of data helping us better monitor conditions. remotely and safely. but there's another.

just about everywhere we go harmful particles fill the air around us if you live in a metropolitan area chances are your lungs are under constant attack. secondhand smoke at your favorite bar or restaurant their potential to do long term harm is unabating fortunately though there's another firm technique parkas innovation help keep us safe from all kinds of airborne dangers. also located in the regions 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 purify air well everywhere. to do a soul in 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. we realized which is something that most startups trying to survive do that we had to narrow. and focus on one particular segment in a particular market. in the past closed air filters have been made out of either paper or fiberglass but that's not the case here. instead they employ upon layers of polypropylene fibers. look like much by themselves when they're stacked up there one of the best defenses against those pesky airborne intruders. needed a little granules are first heated up and then spun. after they reach the right thickness of the cylinder is removed. and placed into a. 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 a crude filter which removes the big particles this is the ionization and ozone generation block this is the fine perfect filter capable of capturing particles that are already ionized and finally this is the absorption and catalytic filter which country's most pollutants. in other words and last we have the ventilator the blues are at 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 there electrodes are bombarded with a ten kilowatt charge this charge comes in handy later when the particles stick to polypropylene fibers.
