comes in handy later when the particle 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 those 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 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. so no ordinary common flash as you can see we can spot any of them with just the naked eye. i'm trying to find the hidden 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 to be hard to spot him even if the visibility were normal. the second one.

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 high performance reconfigurable confusing. because 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 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 second to no other non cool thermal 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 or it has several dozen megabytes of memory and much more. in such a small package with us but this isn't the limit of what we can do and we're already looking into how and. traditionally 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 new sites 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 work required for these casual games is often overlooked a dedicated team has to collaborate together to take it from 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. as soaking about casual games we don't speaking about major blockbusters in the hard cold gaming genre court only 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 costly 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 for these developers. actually just this last december we released our first game of the windows phone seven platform scold from frenzy to. 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 list unfortunately i'm not ready to brag about any specific figures in terms of downloads of that 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 . now 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. so the longer the bespectacled ians the mold 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 funding games our 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 update will soon next time and until then enjoy the right. news.

in this week's top stories in our t.v. leagues from league admission arab nations hold their observers work in syria of reports of an upsurge in violence damascus says that could make things worse. talks between iran and un nuclear inspectors resume amid international tension tehran is considering stopping fuel supplies to the e.u. within days as a response to sanctions live reaction on that very shortly here on our three. also u.s. anti corporate protests feel the full force of the lord oakland again with offices resorting to tear gas and flash grenades to disperse demonstrators and arrest hundreds. of multinational proposals to stop where the piracy sparked mass protests

in poland activists say their government is supporting internet censorship not copyright protection our top stories this hour. with a look back at the top stories from the past seven days and the latest developments this is the weekly t.v. the arab league's observer mission in syria has halted its work saying it's concerned of reports of a rise in violence more than a hundred people are thought to have been killed in recent fighting between security forces and rebel groups have been more clashes near the capital on sunday damascus condemned the league's decision saying it could actually result in more bloodshed and a foreign military intervention at the u.n. security council resolution on syria. is under consideration russia rejected the latest draft put forward by e.u. and arab states calling for regime change in the country and allowing further

action if damascus doesn't comply but it's going on in a steven them and believes it's not a coincidence that the arab league froze its mission just as western powers up the calls for foreign involvement. oh my goodness it sounds like a no fly zone is different language it was an open sesame to direct intervention meaning war the observers were saying it is syria you know they got the wrong man to lead the mission the sudanese general the they thought the air man in charge who would deliver the goods against. believing him for everything going or what a general we do he said started cooperating it's exactly the opposite of what the last one they wanted a precarious just step up whatever they have in which is some kind of action the best solution is the worst syria's civil it's only a theory it's usually chicken opposition in syria syria is that authoritarian state

a reporter in the one that got you reported we get to go to a national poll that apparently there's some credibility said the. syrians. for america and britain and the arab league and theirs to intervene in syria's three years and to have an arrogant resolution saying and all the way to it yet be in two weeks we are so absolutely should in diplomatic way which told these people to go. around one hundred observers are still in syria awaiting further instructions but gulf nations are not taking part they withdrew their monitors saying the mission has failed to hold the syrian government to its pledge to end violence but as sarah for three ports weakening the fact finding team leave syrians they're preparing for the worst. saying their good bye and heading home they've said it's from the gulf states leave the airport their mission incomplete leaving behind a country in

a deepening crisis is never going to be easy they want the arab league monitors the . gulf war right from the word go the missions prove problematic the opposition accused the monitors of being too closely aligned with the government the government's now accused of being part of a foreign conspiracy and they will it just tickle complains to the observers seem to liquid on the ground and there were concerns that they were simply too few numbers to undertake such a major task but if things were bad at the beginning now they seem even worse following in saudi arabia's footsteps all the gulf states withdrew their observers after damascus rejected their recent proposal that included president decides cede power to a deputy and form a unity government was interesting that these countries is very interested in democracy and have nothing and this is the most interesting this is something pani

will talk about about syria or will have a new constitution we are going to more democratic country multi-party says about what about to do about the west come up talk about syria which would be true changed and leave saudi arabia as it has damascus is rejection was no surprise both sides of the conflict of shame equal unwillingness to soften their stance even when the daily death toll in the country continually rising the killing of the head of the syrian arab red crescent was on the road to damascus yet another reminder of the spiraling situation. of the observers at such a crucial moment in the country's crisis is seen as controversial the arab league essentially has no credibility on the arab. st what the arab league mission is trying to accomplish is get enough evidence concrete evidence about human rights abuses on the part of the our so very same thing take to the un the evidence will

be so strong that even russia and china will feel compelled to work but as of now one month after this mission started they seem to know the monitors things and i know more about what's going on the ground than they did. at the beginning and so it all looks like you know we're going back to square one as the death toll rises the proposal being floated to increase the number of observers on the ground and provide them with u.n. training could be a life saving would but for now those plans have been pissed on hold in fact much of the substance of the report that they agreed to pieces on both sides seems to have been lost in the flurry of diplomatic activity now france and britain have joined forces at the united nations to try to end president assad's rule waving good bye to that goal to stay colleagues some observers remain but it's small consolation syria didn't close the doors in front of the arab league i think. it's

diplomacy will give anyone to help the syrian but the last decision in the hands of the syrian people not in the hands not the obliqueness could come so it's a gloomy outlook for the country with little regional or international agreements on what action should be taken to stop the violence and putting an end to the crisis seem to be slipping further and further as a very surface r.t. damascus syria. also coping with unrest is egypt coming up for you here in r.t. a year after its uprising back to tell here square as hundreds of thousands rally against the absolute power of the ruling military junta and its reluctance to step down. but still to come for this hour but first u.n. nuclear inspectors have started a three day mission to examine iran's atomic activities terrilyn says it's certain the talks the first in more than three years will prove its programs purpose is purely peaceful the i.a.e.a. visit comes at a time when tensions between iran and the west are approaching crisis level on

monday adopted and i'm president it's set of sanctions against the islamic republic which include a complete embargo on oil supplies from iran that comes into force in july but iran is considering an immediate halt of oil sales to europe in retaliation well let's discuss the latest developments around the iranian crisis with manesh he's middle east studies program coordinator and professor emeritus at california state university. can we expect any breakthrough from this mission which is only shuttle for three days. you know right actually going to be only three days. a year. all outstanding issues so it's that is impossible. as mohamed el baradei who was deported. less than me.

regime change she would i mean he's the case. that one should expect from these three. members actually i have to say that if he was in. office. what if of course iran cooperate and answer all the questions which is being asked to do then this idea of regime change will it be obsolete then wouldn't it and that would in fact be a way of iran wrong doing what you say are the real intentions but talking behind the i.a.e.a. . exactly true iran has already responded under the ages to the questions or the educations that us and he's very very sick in six hundred seventeen pages and basically. some of the documents that have been forward that we should. be doing have to believe you know what they're even going to and they're

all. caught it's hard. we never get them so instantly much. the militants. as. to certainly you will see such as an individual. who apparently was in nuclear scientists in iran and was dealing with military aspic supposedly what was. i mean you don't refuse. to do that given the many of. the last one was. just a few useful. i can see basically. quickly so whatever conclusions the agency comes up with it's going to be irrelevant from western view for example we've seen the e.u.

imposing that embargo on iran's oil before those u.n. inspectors were actually visiting the country so many would say this is seen as premature is that in some ways supporting your argument that actually the i.a.e.a. is reports will mean nothing. basically what i'm saying it was a nuclear. deal. it would have been the support of terrorism if it wasn't. so basically what you're eating. is a series of menu option. which in some sense it is very similar to iraq. was. that the reason you don't see. the. one. or returns of mass destruction. ok. then you sure he's not into the seven let's talk more about the embargo itself iran

predicts oil prices might jump to something like one hundred fifty dollars per barrel stressing it doesn't have eight doesn't actually have all the markets it can supply apart from the e.u. turkey for example has already said it's not supporting sanctions and will keep buying iranian oil then of course you have china and india so what effect actually will this ban have. well first of all that would be. as you pointed out. what you also pointed out was that you don't need a parliament was. exporting oil to europe. but from what. you know. it is not really big debt much because the quality that. you mentioned to some asian countries has made us for

her have seen on that so it's not going to. get much at this point but it is possible that the price of oil it's very difficult to say what. they had predicted that the price of board would rise to something between hundred twenty five to one and. that oil has already been discounted in the marketplace so that the price which are right and just very briefly and finally any chance of any military action by the us if we do see for example the straits of hormuz being close i mean do you think this could ultimately lead to any sort of conflict in the region just very very briefly there is zero zero is a possibility well of course the military is premature ok. thank you very much your thoughts good to hear here on r.t. thank you very much. we're keeping a close eye on the iranian on

a nuclear saga on air and online for you you can head to our website r.t. dot com for more analysis and updates on the latest developments. u.s. occupy movement protesters once again turned violent in oakland california police fired tear gas at some two thousand demonstrators several hundred were arrested as attempted to occupy a vacant convention center before storming into city hall artie's marina port. it began around saturday afternoon when roughly two hundred fifty occupy occupy optimists in oakland california began demonstrating in the streets and it was hours past the crowd grew stronger and stronger up to crosley twenty two thousand people strong ultimately what the goal was for this demonstration is for protesters to

take over and abandoned building where they wanted to create their new headquarters because as our viewers may remember crossed the country in the united states just a few months ago police departments are removed activists from their camps and this was an attempt for oakland optimist to set up a new headquarters but as the crowd grew stronger and larger and thankfully the police in oakland began firing tear gas and flash grenades i v occupy atlanta this morning to the police they say members of the crowd began throwing things at times at the officers and that is what ultimately triggered this clash between police officers came to occupy an optimist but as guys you know this is not the first time we've seen a fierce clash between officers and activists in oakland california got in october

there was a least three hundred people arrested and a former u.s. marine by the name scott olsen was left in critical condition with a head injury from being struck in the head by police tear gas kind of canister and this is something odd that put a lot of criticism on the police department in oakland california they've been criticized for being very harsh with occupy out. well those occupy protests in america come against the background of the race for the white house military my talk being with the debt crisis and president obama's administration is putting top of its to do list. of the leaders state of the union speech a little later. in the meantime it's been a turbulent week for poland which saw thousands of people protesting against the piracy pact their country has signed up to along with twenty one other european state activists say the multinational deal which still needs to be ratified by the

european parliament allows firms to censor the internet. reports from warsaw at first thousands across poland directed their anger squarely at the notorious anti counterfeit trade agreement the idea of funding. for publishing the trademarked material is somehow illogical to me it's like punishing the corporation that produces knifes for. being used to kill somebody but with every passing rally the protest grew more political the crowds put prime minister to six government under fire for signing the agreement on thursday most governmental websites were hijacked by the anonymous hacker group i think they are trying to mask. the brahma says that. the documents. that we have arrived. to. the right for our own interpretation of the king but that's not.
