for the world economic forum not business. as of three activists from the feminist group stage a topless protest in davos against of the economic elite also. this is what's greeting visitors at an australian and natural history museum but some of the kids are clearly want their history a little less vivid you've got to be prehistoric panic online.
5:19 pm
and welcome back you are watching r t it is two nineteen in the morning here in moscow now the march of the multinationals in india is threatening to wipe out millions of smaller grocery stores while it's likely to mean cheaper food and jobs boost the pre-packed food future well and to generations of local market traditions as pressure either discovered. this dry food store has been set then they're seeing chalons family for six generations it's one of the many small retail stores that
5:20 pm
have been operating in this market in old delhi for hundreds of years when i 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 argue 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
5:21 pm
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 small businesses will not be able to compete with and they will find it hard to survive so this is a conspiracy against us to shut us down and open big shops but we will not allow this to happen in india. the small business will be swallowed by will not 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 from. being finalized store owners like sing challen are watching the debate closely wondering if his family's business and the old delhi that he's known
5:22 pm
his whole life will suddenly change. this is an attempt to destroy even money who do good businessmen in india but we will not allow this to happen in india resisting outsiders from potentially destroying his family's tradition pre-history there are tea delhi india. well taking a look at other news from around the world making headlines this hour. the nigerian army has shot dead eleven suspected boko haram insurgency during a gunfight in the country's east it follows a warning from the supposedly leader of the violent islamist sect that they will kill more security personnel and kidnap their families a week ago boko haram killed more than one hundred eighty people during a gun and bomb attack in the northern city of kano boko haram wants sharia law enforced throughout nigeria. you. at least twenty six people have been killed and injured in a fire which swept through

money. well the ski slopes of sochi are in place for the next winter olympics now comes the test to make sure they meet world class standards the russian resorts facilities are hosting their first skiers and organizers hope it's all downhill from here as denis blonsky explains. it's no way and called in the caucasus mountains but it's the hardest time for ski fans many like this couple even keen promus far as say bierria for the season's grand opening in sochi now that. it's thirty snowing a month ago so much snow who wanted to ride so badly and now we had this chance. super this is it also who took a brand new resort just off the black sea coast with a number plan to attract ski fans who might otherwise prefer a winter break in france or switzerland kilometers of tracks that will be able to compete with many european resorts means sixteen of them thousand tourists will be
5:25 pm
able to ski here the sure and seasonal warm weather lets 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 new resorts just a little while and you. believed and everyone enjoyed. very positive feedback this morning. but they're also cudos biggest test is yet to come in february and march just events for the two thousand and fourteen winter olympics it will mean two or just will be strictly pissed but for now they're making the most of the snow the freedom and even the romance and the russian winter it's great to have their snow is soft and it was supposed to kiss and that's why i went down the hill so if you'll excuse me. like. sochi. at the bottom of the hill might make me go skiing more often well the snow
5:26 pm
a slopes may bring the skiers together but our fluctuating weather continues to divide others in the international community. to ask people in new york how far they are willing to go to cool down global warming. 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 drag machine i don't know about that you know 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 a yes yeah yeah i absolutely absolutely best idea of virtual for well
5:27 pm
it's good what about showering for under a minute. i'm always skin and they were pretty much broke saw lots of electrical futile very little mother saves money don't become opposed to lose 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 them selfish 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. and that wraps things up for now but i'll be back with a look at the headlines in just a couple minutes don't go away and watch back to.

where time stands still. all becomes a scene of nothing. the mysterious sounds of russia. and welcome back you are watching our t.v. certainly glad to have you with us let's take a look at the top headlines. russia slams the new u.n. draft resolution on syria as unacceptable saying it is targeting regime change and paves the way for possible foreign intervention the arab league is also halting its observer mission in syria over the upsurge of violence that. protesters in poland vowed to continue fighting the international anti web piracy pact and the

politicians who support them to torrijos a trade agreement activists say that allows governments to police the internet under the guise of protecting copyright. to yet another blow to the struggling euro zone as five nations credit scores get cut including spain. individually e.u. leaders and key finance experts are struggling to find a solution to the deepening debt crisis at the world economic forum. and up next in this month's technology update gets closer to the secrets of the universe and it looks at what siberia house to offer the science of tomorrow. hello and welcome to technology update this month we've ditched the bright lights
5:32 pm
and credit streets of moscow for snow cover novosibirsk now this free agent 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 booter 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 design and build 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. as it's called in physics. electron
5:33 pm
accomplish this by shrinking the size divergence and energy spread of charged particles without losing any straight particles. and that means the resulting collision 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 killing took place at the institute of nuclear physics here in the
5:34 pm
superior several installations were built for domestic use. and the first installation for exports was for g.s. which is in germany later two more were both 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 tree search center in germany the facility is part of a european union sponsored effort to better understand fundamental hadrons the most specifically the electron coolant will be installed at the centers institute of nuclear physics cosy synchrotron there are sprawling complex elementary particles will be accelerated looked around the synchrotron and smashed together for scientists to study and those efforts will be helped by the addition of novosibirsk cooler. so what we get by is this. new quality and it means we.
5:35 pm
have much. momentum range very small. mentions and. 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
5:36 pm
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 super factory is to increase the installations efficiency to the power of three 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 new. these high powered particles are generated. already exists. already.
5:37 pm
understanding what underpins our very existence. building. a very complicated project. so a part of the. already 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 fruitful collisions. most attention is focused on the existing. the particle accelerator here has the
5:38 pm
capacity to create up to one trillion electrons and twenty. second particles of vacuum tubes where there sped up and. timed so that a particle is pushed forward time it goes through a gap between them. and the higher the kinetic 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're. reduced to one of two. look at them funny like across the linear electron and positron accelerator will be located in this tunnel much of it will take of this entire mostly empty space so it
5:39 pm
won't look as if there is it does now. that it is excel rater will raise the electrons and positrons energy to the level required for the super chom 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 factory. 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
5:40 pm
should come together in a large hall equipped with a detector. and 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. a pin 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 charms how factory plant at the institute should ensure that russia's 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
5:41 pm
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 a breeding ground 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. for clusters. technical. biotech 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
5:42 pm
specifically adapted for the work of the corresponding innovative companies benefiting from that is inversion since they're working on the next generation detector as you see here the traditional fire alarms have to be installed every few feet depending on the building code up until now inversion since or has made optical fiber based detectors that monitor building stress and deformation and right now they're busy installing those in the open focus 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 a large length it can be very canonical effective furthermore our senses are
5:43 pm
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 question. i want to commend in this room we're developing and researching our 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 what resolution 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 into it so we have about six kilometers of fiber here deception of the fiber we want to affect is
5:44 pm
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 this screen there are three charts the first one shows data from the signals coming in. the second the calculated temperature. at the time the third in the computer the relationship between temperatures and time of here on the screen we can already see some kind of peak right at the peak is the water temperature inside the kettle we can even see it in more detail these peaks are processed by a device which then determines whether to fire to place or not. to prep the optic fibers for detection a method called bragg grading is employed this involves a laser i-ching a pattern 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
5:45 pm
others continue along this eleven us 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 still the air around us if you live in a metropolitan area chances are under constant attack whether it be car exhaust or secondhand smoke at your favorite bar or restaurant their potential to do long term harm is unabating fortunately though there's another firm out the tech of parkas innovation help keep us safe from all kinds of dangers. in the region is t. on 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
5:46 pm
be and as they see it the potential demand for their filters is huge. where can the air well everywhere. to do a soul in them in different places such as restaurants and other areas where people eat. household filtration devices we purified air from tobacco smoke which tried medical institutions. some point we realized which is something that most startups trying to survive do that we had to narrow our specialization 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
5:47 pm
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 employees a multi stage system against those harmful particles if you know this is a crude filter which removes the big particles this is the ionization and ozone generation block this is the fine proof occasion filter capable of capturing particles that are already ionized and finally this is the absorption and catalytic filter which countries molecule sized pollutants orders in other words and last we have.
