take it down a little more after the particle filled air passes the simple pre-filter there electrodes are bombarded with a tin 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 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 and harmful. 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 gunmen they're just dress the part to show off the latest thermal weapon 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 some wearing white. ordinary camouflage 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 it. encounter flies with

a forest in the background be hard to spot him even if the visibility were normal. on the other side of a small man and. i can just see the edge of his face and hood. the third one. is in an abandoned construction site in the corner of a dark room with a metal grating. so we found all three fighters it's hard to hide from a thermal. in terms of image processing i believe we're the leaders. we use a powerful processor that we've developed. it's based on very promising technology . computing. it gives us a very large optical band with 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 second to no other non cool thermal sight computing power is packed onto a series of circuit boards assembled by the skilled team the engineers know it may look like a never ending maze of copper silicon and plastic to you or me but to those that built it it's a thing of computing elegance. trying to obtain as much functionality as we could while keeping it as small as possible more than we have a microprocessor capable of running at a frequency of five hundred. the programmable logic is comparable to a chip from a pentium it has several dozen megabytes of member. 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 prize for these cool thermal sides 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 the initial 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. talking about casual games we don't speaking about major blockbusters and the hard cold gaming genre one has to spend in excess of hundreds of thousands of dollars. and that's true for one of our 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 newest

i pad app store list of most games with each new version in the montezuma series the developers have to give players a reason to pony up the cash for the latest one and that's what seems to drive 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 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 is sealed in a day week month regardless the fact itself of being in the top list is rather nice

. to know 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 for more and more new titles and put them out and more and more new platforms not only for p.c.'s but also from macs possibly sony playstation three up. it's the village 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 awhile and see the real world around us but in ways that will do for this edition of technology update we'll see you next time and until then enjoy the ride. wealthy british style. time to. market. find out what's really happening to the global economy with max cons or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into a report on. think

. russell slams the new u.n. draft resolution on syria as unacceptable saying it's targeting regime change and pave the way for possible foreign intervention. protesters in poland vowed to continue fighting the international and the web i receive that they say bring internet censorship under the guise of protecting copyright. and yet another blow to the struggling euro zone as the credit ratings of five nations are caught despite the crisis tackling optimism the world economic forum.

live from moscow you're watching archie it's seven pm here in the russian capital our top story the arab league has frozen as monitoring mission in syria because of the escalation of violence there more than one hundred people are thought to have been killed in clashes between syrian security forces and opposition groups in the past two days but the u.n. security council remains split on how to end the crisis russia has given a resounding no to a new resolution on syria drafted by the e.u. an arab states that warns of further action if to mask is fails to comply the text calls for president for the transfer of power to a deputy but moscow says the resolution should not contain any threat of sanctions or imply any outside intervention well let's talk to political analyst stephen leatherman from the center for research on globalization stephen good to see you again thanks for being with us now as the international community mall over there

next. the arab league cites a spike of bloodshed in syria how exactly have are the reports of violence do you think well there's a lot of violence going on and he said good to be with you when i don't report it is that the violence is externally generated this is this is an imperial operation the libyan model is being replicated short of nato directly intervening the reason russia objects to the new grass the new western grafter resolution just it's got language here and it saying if assad does not comply with the terms of that resolution then dishman additional measures will be considered it oh my goodness that sounds like a no fly zone in a different language there was an open sesame to direct intervention meaning war russia and china a disservice because this is the the observers were sent into syria they

picked the wrong man to lead the mission only so they picked the sudanese general. they thought they had the air manage your eyes who would deliver the goods against the side believing him for everything going on what a general we do these terrorists are just cooperating it's exactly the opposite of what the west won and they wanted a pretext to step up whatever they have in mind which is some kind of intervention either direct nato even though needles it will do it and it was one thing and they end up doing something else or it could be promising intervention regional countries turkey you've got the syrian national council eastern turkey you've got the sort of free syrian army it's it's extremely weak compared to the syrian military and you're in it and you've got these these opposition forces the

syrian opposition forces to be had. divided you've got the national coordination body the democratic change in syria absolutely here in syria you are absolutely opposed to your bitch and and violence they once syrians certainly are all of the other party the syrian national council wants outside intervention even one side interrupted i just want to make sure we touch on this the fact that the arab league and the qatari prime minister are heading to new york to rally u.s. support for the arab plan to end serious crisis what do you think their hopes and chances are of succeeding there well they're going to new york because they were ordered to go to new york their masters their new york what he did in america and they'll give you my jingle orders but but the great fire wall that washington wants and the key nato war make france and. russia and china and they

absolutely firmly opposed intervention to the security council whether that will stop benito alliance i don't know what do you think with with all that we've discussed is the best solution for syria. the best solution is the less serious civil it's own experience here is a legitimate opposition in syria syria is an authoritarian state but compared to the despotic regimes in saudi arabia in the rain if yemen in other regional countries assad looks almost but not right he has agreed to a new constitution he's agreed to address grievances to to to make serious reforms i think he means it because i mean i'll do everything people one but i think he does want reform i think he needs were willing to go and unreported opinions you is the reporter in the london got you reported we could do

a go get a national poll that apparently has some credibility he said of bonjour already of syrians back aside right here in maryland for us to try to remember what did in the washington post what they don't see or about that most syrian support aside they want us to want changes i think will get them and the syrians it just allows the empty lot of years i think they will it and the other key thing always is international law it's internationally kawakami back and nineteen and thirty three don't want to be able to bench him and this is us french british law is signing on to this convention that last state specifically no nation may intervene in any way in the internal affairs of another country the only exception is if a nation is attacked by another one and then came the un chatter that said if that

happens a nation can act in self-defense but only until a security council acts for america and britain and the arab league has to get to the end in seriousness that is and to have an arrogant resolution saying handle the power do it yesterday. two weeks without a so absolutely. totally. well stephen we both know that international law hasn't stopped countries from invading other countries before but we will be watching the un very closely next week stephen leatherman thank you very much for joining us from the center of research on globalization. well amid intensifying finding between the syrian army and opposition groups are two sarraf earth has been through an area near the capital which was recently taken over by rebel fighters and she reports although the opposition is united against the regime there are polls apart on their methods.

ok message from the protesters in the suburb of damascus as a funeral takes place. without george killing don't we don't want to see the globe see. children killing we don't yes freedom we don't know what we will do you have to live. here i mean this this is going to all come to us so now they feel safety is being provided by the free syrian army the guerrilla party made up of many army defectors who say its presence here has enabled protests like these to go ahead. ever since 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 schools the foreign military intervention the armed safe are we did partnerships with any other

opposition elements he sees the significant inside the country and the national khuda nation council one of the leading opposition groups remains adamant that foreign military intervention would make an already to tear erasing situation even worse a whole lot of security position has caused some areas to get out of control and it seems that there is a war between two groups on the 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 a position factions this lack of unity has hampered the quoting close to direct u.n. involvement question china remain firmly opposed to a resolution that would leave the door open to foreign military intervention and a far cry from previous schools to dialogue and saudi arabia no two to the opposition in the state cost even more lives to say many mislead the for. and rebel

groups you have to work with the other sides 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 these main square here in town where people come out and protest every evening for the security forces trying to come in but we protect them but this is what's happening here that 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 i know you can see that a lot of confusion here on the scene seems to be running in a different direction not exactly sure what's going on though that's really not a safe situation severe right now and all of this happening just fifteen minutes from the city center is just a day before it's major quake of the demonstrations so position can show continues to gain ground the divisions within the country have never been clearer.

that only. god and. you. know yeah. i mean i do yes. well sarah is keeping her blog updated at r.t. dot com where she's posting extensively on the situation in syria and they're also find images from various parts of the contrary that haven't made it onto the air the latest pictures show people rallying in. damascus. to your social implications. from the. video.

on the dot com well those protesters are refusing to give up the fight over the web piracy pact their countries signed up to more demos are planned against the actor the multinational deal force in secrecy that activists say allows firms to censor the internet and e.u. official has already resigned over the treaty which was signed by twenty two european countries this week like serious have reports from warsaw. a passer by from england confused scenes on friday in central warsaw with the filming of a sequel for the hollywood movie before. judging from the number of masked men and cameras such resemblance was tangible the film character fought for revolution these people are also 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 comments a week of numerous mass rallies across the world with people protesting against internet censorship actor 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. engineer martin says he's work is under threat because of actors' obscurity with the international pact worked out in complete secrecy issues with. first. 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 and experts say the scale of public dissent has managed to make war soldiers ruling elite nervous the government was promoting itself as being modern as. people probably internet and people trying to keep them accountable so when they discover that the government is supporting something without it was purely political answer to no we don't believe in any more of this but this considers the harm governments are pretty nice in the steadily see. their point of view already tactic and the and know that they may not ratify 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 act and 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. last for at least two weeks i think because. i think how long it will take to actually pass the regulations the prime minister to be adamant war so would not give in to and to 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. european liberty campaign. believes the polish government sort of listen to the public because they're the web's real stock holders. of the way it's a great it's my right leg the basic freedoms and you're so much with.

you there without really actually through the good by later in the internet and though the internet providers there are companies which are taking advantage of. the internet but the first thing we should be aware of the . people are feeling that they were keep that by the government and that something is wrong that there were no contemplation and there was no possibility of the debate before or. for the signature of the document there were many afghans in the region were returned man who had the internet and every time people had the impression that the government is taking that without the basin without. their knowledge and the internet users. here with our day just ahead how in the

winter chills don't stop global warming getting people hot under the collar. they don't really care about the planet until until it affects them personally and the world we live in the president our people in new york what they want and what they would sacrifice to save the planet. then we could battle to saw change taxpayers put themselves through their paces before the for the first time before they welcome the winter olympics finest in three years. the ratings for arms came raining the blows on the beleaguered euro zone now fitch has downgraded five countries they include spain and italy with are the big worries because of their size if they fall leaders in k. finance years are struggling to find a remedy to the debt crisis that the annual world economic forum or a lister is in davus. 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 thing.
