welcome to the capital i'm mr. what drives the world the fear mongering used by politicians who makes decisions to break through it's already been made who can you trust no one who is your view with the global machinery see where we had a state controlled capitalism is called sessions when nobody dares to ask we do our tea question more. pepper spray that just burns your eyes right i mean it's like

a derivative of actual pepper it's a food product essentially. this is much stronger than anything if you buy a lot of. thousands of times we're stronger than any kind of. well fears of a new war brewing in america but this one isn't any combat zone and doesn't involve weapons cyber war is sparking fear among political leaders today and rhetoric is heating up in washington on the dangers of cyber war equating it to a form of terrorism the pentagon is responding by pumping money into enhancing cyber security and as our team correspondent lucy half an hour reports military contractors are lining up to cash in on the latest military fear. it may

seem like a quiet day in america but to some it's the scene of a raging battle invisible to the naked eye. but there is war underway right now on the internet this is cyber war is the u.s. ready for a full scale cyber war a question asked at the highest levels of the u.s. government stoked by fears of a new type of w.m.c. a weapon of mass disruption in a world where acts of terror could come not only from a few extremists in suicide vests but from a few keystrokes on the computer the f.b.i. warns that those keystrokes could soon be more dangerous to america than terrorism itself the cyber threat well equal or surpass the threat from counterterrorism in the forseeable future a future that's got the world's military superpower preparing for the fight ahead of the next pearl harbor that we confront could very well be a cyber attack that cripples our our power system certainly our grid cyber war cyber pearl harbor frightening language for

a hypothetical scenario one that could happen but hasn't yet and some security experts like jim harper warn that it never will because no chance whatsoever that nuclear power plants will be hacked that electric infrastructure will be hacked and taken down for any significant period of time so the worst we can expect is disruption that's not war it doesn't really terrorize so the threats are serious but there. not to the level of war or terror yet some of the key leaders in the war on terror are now in the business of cyber war michael chaired off once ran the department of homeland security he now runs a cyber security consulting firm you could have a cyber attack that would be as consequential in terms of the economy maybe even in terms of loss of life as things we typically associate with more frightened once america's top spy chief mike mcconnell now oversees cyber operations for the bends contracting giant where the most volatile nation on earth to

a cyber attack and anti-terrorism czar richard clarke went from advising presidents on cyber security to publishing books about the coming cyber war for once it would be nice for the united states to be able to get out in front of a catastrophe to be able to prevent that catastrophe we know how to do it we just need to spend the money and the money is flowing the u.s. government will spend more than ten billion a year on cyber security by two thousand and fifteen you know worldwide market that's estimated at eighty to one hundred forty billion dollars a year the budget there we're releasing today it's one of the few areas where the white house plans to increase spending despite other defense cuts and that some say is the problem it's going to be even more tempting for folks and you know the defense contracting community for example to hype cyber threats because that's one of the few stream that money you know sort of still exists forbes magazine

contributor shawn lawson is an expert in cybersecurity it's a classic case of an attempt to sort of motivate a response by rally the troops by appealing to fear uncertainty and inside the beltway fear and uncertainty can lead to big business and big bucks most people don't understand the problems with computer and data security people in washington don't understand it specifically most people. congress don't understand therefore the quote unquote beltway bandits are in a position to to create the problem to state the problem and offer their own services as a solution. the battle does rage here invisible to the naked eye the war for money contracts and powers in. washington. so as washington fears cyber war is the warfare of the future earlier i spoke to con helen and a columnist for foreign policy in focus who begs to differ take a listen. well if it didn't cost so much money and it didn't involve

bashing china and russia to a certain extent it would be kind of amusing unfortunately it is an extremely expensive endeavor and we're creating this enormous infrastructure both in the civilian side on the military side and you know once you put these infrastructures in place once you create these organizations they deal with intelligence and things three hundred of them and so i think that you've got a real problem here not simply in terms of that a lot of this is aimed at china but what it means for privacy here in the united states because the fear drives people to do some very silly things and you know we are seeing the military scrambling to obtain new cyber cyber scales are the fears justified or are they blown at a proportion they're brought in very much out of proportion the. earlier program

reported clarke's thing about the fact that it would be this collapse of the infrastructure and things like that you couldn't shut down our grid in the united states was we don't have a national power grid we have more than one hundred separate power grids you know these are the kinds of things that people bring up a tree or it is an enormous motivator in the united states and particularly if people are using cell phones and computers and when i have these things work so many said some of those things over are going to make i'm not work you can't go to the bank could get this and that people get scared and so they said well protect us and that's where the problem upset and kind of has a lawmakers are very concerned and here as congressman mike rogers he's the chairman of the house intelligence committee harry is talking on the i have ak is on its way. we will suffer a catastrophic cyber attack the clock is ticking meanwhile f.b.i.

director robert mueller has said that the dangers of cyber attacks will equal or surpass the dangers of terrorism in the foreseeable future how do you feel about cyber warfare being equated to terrorism. i don't think there's any relationship to it at all i think most of this site first of all it's not cyber warfare most of the cyber stuff that goes on is industrial supply and that's been going on sense marco polo bought so corms out of china everybody's trying to get the edge on various kinds of things as nothing to a cyber warfare itself and i think there's a real danger here because people use the term war and the pentagon start putting up policies where they're going to shoot missiles at people who they think are are you are using cyber attacks and stuff and this is very dangerous stuff and go back you know in the one nine hundred fifteen c. it was the threat of communism in the in the one nine hundred sixty s.

it was the threat of nuclear war and in the one nine hundred ninety s. it's been the threat of terrorism americans are constantly bombarded with messages of fear and what it makes them do is it makes them give up things and in this case they're giving up a lot of very very basic democratic rights to privacy but we are seeing groups that for example anonymous hacking into see a cia as a web site among many others isn't that a sign that the government needs to crack down on security measures as well that's very interesting because the government won't really do what they want to do which is they want what you really want to defend yourself you encrypt everything traceable the easiest thing to do. and it's absolutely secure the government doesn't want to do that the government doesn't want to do that because the military doesn't want to do it the military doesn't want your computer or cell phones except

for to be protected by encrypted software because they want to be able to have a backdoor into people's computers their cell phones their i pads whatever the simplest way to deal with this is encrypted and the military will fight. tooth and nail to prevent that so my feeling about it is ok anonymous breaks into the cia or the international monitors or what do they do if you hear about them breaking in what kind of damage that good gets done if you noticed an economy is collapsing as a result of of so-called cyber warfare i mean this and that as it hasn't there a fear that they could become more advanced and you know get the ability to to do so. well the thing is that most financial institutions are fully protected the idea that the united states is way behind is just nonsense and but you know as this is way ahead of the curve here there's always going to be someone who's going to get

your your password and break into your bank account or you know so i mean i got that always going to be out there but this is not a complex thing to stop this is actually quite easy to stop they make for instance are not the slightest bit worried about this at all and i think the problem is again it's this atmosphere of fear and using pearl harbor and then talking about china i mean you know that sounds like we were equating china with puerile shipping are we for a war against imperialism korea russia's did you. you know that's that's the kind of hype which can lead to scary places thank you so much for weighing in on this issue that was con helen and columnists for foreign policy in focus my pleasure. and that is going to wrap it up for now for more on the story of an in-depth interview as we covered you can head to head on over an hour to a concert last us say and you can also check out our youtube page it's youtube dot

com slash r t america and you can follow me on twitter as well we'll see you right back here and half hour. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harkin welcome to the big picture. world of the future science technology innovation all the news developments from around russia we've got the future covered.

humans cyborgs. nothing but fantasy or potential reality. how long can a human being live for. the thousands of years people sought to find and then lick c.-a of eternal life to halt nature's ticking clock. the subject has returned to the stage once more in the twenty first century this time scientific globe or a tree's a joining the hunt but instead of seeking a fountain of youth there focusing on the power of technology to achieve immortality. this is one of the formulas designed for the fight against aging the substance is called the school of aisle it is named after its creator blood. of he heads the

department of genetic engineering at moscow state university. maybe there will always go where you first suggested this age nineteen seventy two. but it was not going until two thousand and five that we put the whole formula of each fighting on paper and why you really push. according to dr school a choice of oxygen is of all things one of the most dangerous substances in the human body he say's that when cells become oversaturated with active forms of oxygen they become oxidized and this leads to an early death. mirror but as over here the body produces poisons one of the most malicious poisons is generated at the heart of each cell in the middle condra i'm on the one hand they supply the body with energy on the other they gradually kill us the older we are the more

poison we have in our bodies in the form of free radicals. some time ago maxim's father came to the conclusion that there is a mechanism which makes cells a he theorizes that a new biological process is set in motion immediately after a mother gives birth this process makes the body destroy itself. given that aging is programmed it can be stopped like any other program in that case ailments characteristic of old age will be nipped in the bud and we won't age. this unique footage taken by a digital microscope reveals the nature of human mortality in the second minute of the video sudden flush marks out a dying cell setting off a chain reaction that kills off nearby cells. with a death signal is received by neighboring cells in this experiment and they realize that the cell died only

a moment ago and its death was not accidental rather it was the result of a process of the sickle went right across this tiny island of cells it's really quite an unusual sight. dying of old age was uncommon in nation times people would usually full victim to wild beasts or their enemies but later people came to believe that immortality could be found in faraway lands the arab scientist ibn battuta learned about the fountain of youth in china alexander the great believe that he was in india one theory claims that the real reason he undertook his famous campaign in the indian subcontinent was salute for the waters of life. abkhazia is a republican the southeastern coast of the black sea in soviet times many people head live to a hundred or more more than two hundred seventy centenarians lived here in the mid twentieth century there was even

a quiet composed soley out of the very elderly in the republic only those between seventy to one hundred years of age were allowed to join the choir mostly sang old up cars in songs to the accompaniment of traditional instruments now the choir members a younger than the previous generation could. find. their ways he said he would i'm eighty one years old and he said that my singing career spanned sixty five years sometimes i even sing when i'm at home if you are my wife schools me she says why on earth are you singing stop that mumbling good night for i see a tune is racing through my head since i need to sing all the time i say that. in the one nine hundred seventy s. a resident of abkhazia. kill became the main character in

a documentary about centenarians home marty told the filmmakers the icy water from mountain streams over himself several times a day throughout his life he was certain the water cleansed people of everything with it the. fire really over a hundred years old a hundred and nine now would you like to share this secret or your longevity people must know how to take care of themselves healthy habits help them. to demonstrate that a one hundred nine year old abkhazian is just as capable as the youngsters. kill mounted a. horse unassisted as the camera crew looked on his destination was the neighboring village of dilip where one of his great grandsons was celebrating his wedding interestingly almost forty years on people in that village still remember.

i remember a taco very well sure. i even recall the good time we had during his great grandsons wedding my grandsons were there to. live is ninety three years old now he has spent most of his life here into the blood him it worked on a collective farm before his long absence from the village during world war two he retired many years ago but he still works in his orchard every day he craft sprouts of new varieties on to old trees these apple trees are going to get a new lease of life soon. i think i would say it's about time for me to die and lie in the earth peace. but no. life still gives me the strength to be on the move sure when i see anything new after i die well i don't think so and officially the main body of

lawmakers in abkhazia is an assembly made up of elders all of the country's historic decisions have been made in this meadow in the village of law from the abolition of serfdom to the recent decision to declare abkhazia as independence. people gathering here. to make a decision on any important issue. their rulings became law for the entire people. during the years of soviet government several international groups of scientists came to a cause yet to find out what made people here live so long their conclusions were intriguingly simple here old people last longer simply because they are always aware of the fact they have a role to play in society. sending centenarians to an old people's home is a disgraceful idea they should be allowed to live in the homes where they were born

they should be cared for and loved that's what they need they should be made happy and they will live a long life if. count is elizabeth but tory of hungary in the blood of six hundred fifty young serf women every day the fifteenth century french marshals does numbered more than eight hundred peasant children at a laboratory in his castle to avoid ageing. as it turns out the twentieth century dictator joseph stalin was also anxious about his mortality he had five cottages built on our cars here in the vicinity of the locality and habited by generations of old ages. the legend has it that during a stroll in his dutch or stalin met a one hundred twenty year old local man he asked him whether it was true that the magic rivers a could prevent aging. yes the old man said there were no magic reverse but there was a want

a full weave human powers. that prompted stalin to visit the waterfall each morning he watched there and drank some water. among them because ian's methods of fighting old age have been handed down from generation to generation this is one of the oldest pagan rituals during festivities people boil the hearts of wild beasts and big tubs placed outdoors in the hearts of put on a boiling rock it is believed that he has tasted the heart of a wild beast strengthens his own during a festive meal elders get the biggest chunks this custom is thought to give them strength and a long life. she who takes gold in words lives as long as killed itself in terms one recipe of an elixir of eternal life from the middle ages. another is a ground a mixture of a one thousand year old toad in the term thousand year old bed in the shade teles

a human being. but him but it and we hope that at some point we just have to perform a painless transfer of the mind of a person falls asleep and wakes up in another body where he feels just as comfortable. dimitri is called was inspired by the hollywood film surrogates it shows the possibility of creating a human double a surrogate cyborg controlled by the force of thought and imagination would be done without leaving one's home. computers and computer intelligence exceeds human intelligence and then what happens in that sort of perhaps more of the terminator scenario you know what happens when the machines become self-aware enough to realize hey we don't need these people and in fact these people are kind of screwed up the planet. surrogates begins with a lib or

a trick creating a replica of a human controlled. but the human mind the surrogates of the future cannot be distinguished from the human counterparts but it's obvious that the first surrogates are a combination of man. kevin war it has volunteered to be a human cyborg. first to imply that i had a. here we go this is show you what it looked like so this was the first implant. that's right e.o. frequency identification device and that was implanted in my left arm just up here so pushed in that point and what we use this for was simply as i moved around my building here in reading in england and the computer knew where i was at particular points so i would open doors for me and switched on lights and said hello and having studied the experiences of those who use cybernetic limbs work

agreed to more surgery this time a more sophisticated chip will be implanted into his arms nervous tissue operations like. little bit nervous but i think much more a lot more exciting than anything else i really feel love with doing now is the big day. it's actually doing some soil where i actually have a choice in the way i think. the operation lasted for several hours oric was worried about whether the new device would be rejected by his body but the surgery was successful as a result the scientist could subject himself to more experimentation. one of the experiments i did was to drive a wilcher around just from my neural signals so it's the sort of thing that a paralyzed person could they could drive themselves in

a car just by thinking about moving if you like. robyn f. akon stone a swede lost his right arm a few years ago it was he who was the first patient to test an experimental device called the smart hand scientists connected more than forty sensors from this artificial device to his arm then able him to move his bio nick hand and feel the touch of objects. that precious even can be transposed to a specific area the skin of the remaining head and if you find the right spots to stimulate we know that also they correlate areas of brain court case went back to it. it took robin only one day of training to learn to control the artificial limb as he would his own arm to start with he made the device stimulate the movements of his other hand later he learned how to get it to perform operations on its own.
