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 just to make sure that all the particles in harmful microbes that go into don't come out during 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 deep siberian forest along the way you can run into all kinds of people scientists engineers and even some fitted 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 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 or some ordinary come a flash as you can see we can spot any of them with just the naked eye. i'm trying to find the hidden goldman well you. can monitor the process at the same time on the screen. there is one. behind it three encounter flies with the forest in the background and 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 site. in terms of image processing believe we are the leaders. we use a powerful processor that we've developed. it's based on very promising technology . using. it gives us a very large optical bond with nearly 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 within the site despite its low energy demands it still produces image quality that's second to no other non cool from a 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 as small as possible more than we have a microprocessor capable of running at a frequency of five hundred meg. the 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 where there's no this isn't the limit of what we can do and we're already looking into how it can be made smaller and. true. only the best thermal

sites had to employ cryogenic cooling but that made them both both here 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 the alum wars 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 alomar 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 telephone 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 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 to more and more new titles and put them out and more and more new platforms not only for p.c.'s but also for. macs possibly sony playstation three up. the longer the prospective audience the civilities 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 awhile and see the real world around us but in ways that will do for this edition of technology update with you next time and until then

serious divided opposition groups argue over who represents the voice of the people what opinions clash at the u.n. security council with a new resolution against syria drawing harsh criticism from russia. thousands of angry protesters in warsaw cry out against an international online piracy act claiming it targets the basic rights of internet users. plus the e.u. takes yet another pounding this time with credit rating fitch downgrading five more european nations in its leaders try to sooth concerns that will be konami forum in davos.

and welcome to our team around the companies wherever you are. as opposed to new arab european draft resolution on syria saying it can't be used as a basis for resolving the crisis the country's ambassador to the u.n. says moscow will carry on searching for ways to end bottoms that well arty's marina portnoy has been following the latest meeting at the u.n. security council in new york. there has been a lot of discussion taking place primarily because a european arab draft resolution was circulated to the u.n. security council members in which it calls for the syrian president bashar al assad to transfer power to his deputy while a unity government is formed and prepared for a new election is now courting to reports this draft text calls for

a political transition in syria it also says the security council could quote adopt further measures if syria does not comply with the terms of the resolution now of course this is just a draft text that was written up by france and britain in consultation with morocco germany portugal the united states and qatar this is a draft that is just beginning to be discussed by the security council members we do know that the russian ambassador to the united nations vitaly churkin expressed deep disappointment with the draft indicating that he does not believe that the international community should impose an outside solution on syria in terms of the conflict taking place there and he also rejected the idea of an arms embargo or the

use of force speaking imposed on syria because we should keep in mind that if this text includes that the security council could adopt further measures if syria does not comply with what the security council wants we don't know what those further measures could be you have countries such as russia china india brazil that believe that there is a conflict that two sides are involved in syria and both of those parties should be addressed now russia has drafted resolution on syria but i. according to reports and according to what members told me it does not include the cohesive or punitive measures against syria that western countries are looking for the russian draft hold both parties accountable it doesn't call for any type of regime change and that is something that russia and china we saw three months ago vetoed

a western draft resolution that could impose possibly regime change in syria and that's where you have a difference of opinions but this story will continue next week because from what we're told the security council will meet to discuss the text of this draft resolution well antiwar activist and low good don't devolve so as the latest draft resolution circulating at the u.n. security council doesn't uphold the rights of the syrian people to choose the leadership. the point of departure between the western interests and russia and china voiced by russia this time is whether or not the decision about who will rule syria is made by the syrian people or by nato as it was in libya and they indicated that they would not allow a resolution to go through that called for regime change in syria without the participation of the syrian people the thing that the western powers want to see in this region is dysphoric they obviously cannot occupy these territories after they

conquer them if you look to iraq and afghanistan you can see that that's the case but as long as the people on the ground are busy killing each other the united states can sue cure or oil or in the case of syria for example the port at tartus which would keep russia out of the mediterranean and whatever other objectives they have. while there are a lot more reports from syria the opposition activists claiming that more than sixty people have been killed in the netas outbreak of audits that's against the backdrop of the reported advance of syrian and hundred eighteen fighters towards the capital damascus bob some see it as a sign of liberation. as ati's have discovered remain unconvinced. i can message from the playtest is this said that damascus as a funeral takes place. we don't want to linger don't don't we don't want to see god seeing also it's shouldn't killing we don't yes freedom we don't know what we will

do you know have a good live. here and in this you know this is going to want to come to us up to now they feel safety is being provided by the free syrian army take away the body made up of many defects is they can say it's presence as a naval protest like these to go ahead it's. fair to say the military cannot come in anymore because the free. syrian army is protecting us we support the free syrian army and we support. the former army colonel heads the f.s.a. from the brute he's been steadfast from the start and his cools the foreign military intervention. to say far void of partnerships with any other opposition elements he sees defense significantly inside the country and the national khuda nation council when at the leading opposition groups remains adamant that foreign military intervention would make an already to tear erasing situation even worse

while the security position has caused some areas to get out of control and it seems that there is a war between two groups outside the country and it's the syrian national council pitching itself as the main opposition but it too has failed to unify the many different position factions this lack of unity has hampered the quoting close to direct u.n. involvement russia and china remain firmly opposed to a resolution that would leave the door open to foreign military intervention and in a far cry from previous coups that dialogue qatar and saudi arabia now talk to the opposition and meet the stated cost even more lives say many nicely defined rebel groups who have to work with the other side working with the other side uses them to instead of targeting the f.s.a. say they have little choice but to use weaponry to protect civilian. reply have

this main square here in town where people come out and protest every evening security forces try to come in but we protect them but this is what's happening here but it remains a precarious situation in the moments of confusion the crowd gets nervous and starts to run at one point gunshots still says where they come from or from who they are you can save a lot of confusion here on face even if you're running in a different direction. not exactly sure what's going on that really not a safe situation severe right now and all of this happening just fifteen minutes from the city center just a day before. the government demonstrations so position can show continues to gain ground the divisions within the country have never been clear a god god. god god yeah. well coming up in the program when the pressure from the west backfires

iran is set to hold will surprise to european union a preemptive move that many believe the book's economy can't withstand. and we report on the struggle of the local food industry in india and went head to head with the international superstore giants. thousands of people have gathered in warsaw to protest the signing of a new treaty enforcing intellectual property rights on the internet opponents say the international act documentaries pure censorship and a violation of human rights. he has been here in the demands of protesters first hand. a passer by from england confused scenes on friday in central warsaw with filming of a sequel for the hollywood movie v. for vendetta judging from the number of masked men and cameras such resemblance was tangible the film character fought for revolution these people are all still standing for change to stop the anti counterfeit trade agreement act from becoming

law in poland minus fifteen degrees centigrade is definitely not an excuse for thousands who gathered in central warsaw friday protests common it's a week of numerous mass rallies across the world with people protesting against the internet censorship act it may have a positive aim to protect intellectual property but these protesters fear it will be used to police the web and take harmless websites offline eighty engineer martin says he's working under threat because of actors obscurity with the international pact worked out in complete secrecy issues with. legally censoring information the government. is very unclear the negotiations have lost since two thousand and four and nobody's been told anything unlike the week's

massive anti active protests in poland friday's showdown had clear political overtones while the majority of the crowd was voicing no to the treaty a large chunk was directing their anger at the government experts saying the scale of public dissent has managed to make war soldiers ruling elite nervous the government was promoting itself as being modern as being probably people probably internet and people trying to keep them accountable so when they discover that the government is supporting something with actors it was purely political answer to you know we don't believe you anymore this practice considers the harm governments are putting it in the steadily. scenes of their point of view are already tactic and the and know that they may not ratify act and they will have a second fault so after a week of ignorance i think suddenly they realize that the protests are much deeper much broader and. to become law in poland actor needs the approval of both the polish and european parliament nobody knows for sure how long this might take but

protesters say they will continue piling the pressure on the authorities to stop this happening and i think it came as a complete shock nobody expected nobody expected. this going to sink in so i think there will be a lot more. these two weeks i think because. i think how long it will take to actually. prime minister to be adamant war so would not give in to and blackmail in the street but what was initially acquired social protest has become politically broader with every rally ask elating in both the numbers present and the level of aggression alexi russia. reporting from warsaw in poland. dominique of the house from the helsinki foundation for human rights says governments should communicate with users before preparing sweeping internet laws.

and the way it did. it my pride and ego would be a big three and your. use there without really actually the goodbye and later in the internet and though internet providers there are companies which are taking advantage of. your i believe in the internet the first thing we should be aware of the. people are feeling that they were cheated by the government and that something is wrong and that there were no consultation and there was no possibility of the debate before or. for the signature of the document there were reports maniac and even every year or even demand to have the internet and every going people have that they impression and that the government is taking that without conversation

summer but it all price is already rising rapidly experts are warning that the actions of the european union could do the dog more harm than good and meanwhile a senior group of i.a.e.a. officials and weapons experts are preparing to meet in tehran due to arrive this weekend for the highest level talks in. more than three years policy consultant or money told r.t. that by threatening to turn off the tap for europe iran is hoping to cushion the embargo. the calculus from iran's perspective is going to be if a preamp by cutting exports the forward to july first date that the e.u. has set for cutting the exports and iraq preemptively cut its three four hundred thousand barrels worth exports to the e.u. we would be able to drive prices up enough by doing that to offset for that you know right now what is going on with iran is that the there is an existential

threat to the government and quite frankly from the u.s. perspective i don't think there's a lot of hope that these sanctions will actually get you right to stop its nuclear program i think the real unwritten objective here is quite frankly in a column by different name but it's regime change ultimately they want to put as much pressure that as they can on this government. but coming up a little later in the program we hear from the people out on the streets of new york. do you think most people are willing to change their daily behavior even only call it selfish you know they'd only care about the planet until i'm told it affects them personally are americans ready to sacrifice their daily routines in the name of the environment but artie's glory half of this. the euro is still taking a hammering fitch one of the big three credit ratings has announced five more downgrades for european economies that e.u. leaders struggle to soothe nerves on another front the debt crisis refuge in the

eurozone took top billing at the world economic forum in davos but is there and this has more for us from there. we're going in today for davos at the world economic forum and today we'll hear from a number of economists and kind of thinkers about where the global economy is headed we'll have to see how much attention the eurozone captures though because it really has overshadowed a lot of other things that happened on the official and unofficial agenda here at davos we heard from a number of euro zone finance ministers and e.u. officials speaking with a lot of optimism about the euro zone solution saying they believe the fiscal compact will be reached with tighter fiscal discipline in that this will really help the debt crisis that the eurozone is dealing with they also said that greek bond holders will come to an agreement on haircuts for greek debt by this weekend to hopefully presumably avoid default which is definitely not a certain thing at all and that d.-day for greece is march twentieth after that optimism which was kind of the headline.
