and cyborg has undertaken an even more ambitious task this time a symbiosis of living organisms and. the experiment was based on the neurons of a rabbit brain they were grown in a special incubate or the result was a mini brain consisting of a network of neurons fused together finally the miniature brain was connected to a robot now the robots brain is learning to solve simple tasks. as the robot moves around we can look at what's happening in the brain under the microscope so as the robot learns to avoid obstacles but sort of thing we can see her road the brain changes the connections between the neurons strength or weaken reactions to such experiments varied from country to country life styles have not changed in abkhazians regions traditionally inhabited by long livers the old men

believe you can't live a long life unless you stick to the right lifestyle they view any attempts at immortality based on combining man with machine with open hostility but they don't get that they seem to be set on compelling people to stop being human it's a dangerous idea these people will no longer have the capacity for love compassion or charity which will lose the ability to love their neighbors this will be a dead end for the human race. the count of censure from him at the court of king louis the fifteenth is said to have helped mark used to look like a young beauty for his long as she lived all there is to grits clean but the count didn't daja told during the half century that they knew him the count died in seventeen eighty four others same people saw him in venice in one thousand thirty eight nearly one hundred fifty years later. in the soviet union they were secretly burra trees in the country's major cities their research

focused on ways of enhancing people stamina for a global war effort it was primarily aimed at naval officers manning nuclear powered submarines. how much more potential does the human body have the answer is about forty percent protein synthesis can be increased precisely by forty percent to human life to can be extended by forty percent and that's what we are concerned with. however soviet gerontologists failed to find a solution to a crucial problem the average age of soviet leaders before perestroika was around eighty doctors could help keep their kidneys and liver as an order their old brains were incapable of generating fresh ideas. of. the bad thing about the soviet union was that its ruling body the politburo consisted of people who had gone senile individually they were smart people in their younger days or when you

have a group of eighty year olds getting together it's really not a productive thing. scientific fiction has already described cases of the brain living on after the bodies death another patient of professor doll's head a novel by the russian north or alexander. has been screened many times he wrote it in st petersburg city where the institute of the human brain was opened some time later scientists there have developed methods of restoring functions of part of the brain after accidents or serious disease but so far they're unable to get the brain of an aging person to generate the sort of ideas they produced at a younger age. mathematicians and physicists normally have a field day before their thirty fifth birthday or or thereabouts i can't recall a single significant piece of research done by anyone older than that the only exception is newton he published his famous optics when he was seventeen years old
12:52 am
but in fact he wrote it forty years beforehand and i just sheldon tell them. however today there are very few thirty year olds among scientists championing the idea of life extension or bridge to gray one of the principal ideologists of the theory will soon be fifty years old some time ago he singled out seven key elements of the aging process and formulated methods of remedying them he maintains that human life could be significantly prolonged if so-called intracellular rubbish is removed from the body. repair it's all about bone linking this process from birth profit. going to a profession in which the tablets i'm no longer causes but. because every so often we go in and remove some of the damage over from not so much metabolism happens. and that is what we're all about. we think that this

process much more straightforward. to graze confident that human life could be extended to one thousand years but step by step measures are necessary to prolong life with the help over storage of medicine. the best way to think about it by now if you with man made machine car airplane. we know that a car if belt typically only maybe ten or fifteen year but we often the cars that sometimes after a lot longer sometimes one hundred years and the reason they last for long when they do it because for whatever reason it fell in love with them and they did a really comprehensive job of maintaining doing periodic preventative repair and maintenance to keep them in top condition. according to the bible people before the

great florida normally lived for several hundred years adam the first minute the earth and the sunset survivor of the nine hundred years the man with the greatest lifespan was mcpherson or one of the forefathers of mankind. yeah i have talked with theologians as part of my study of the subject there were some say it's a matter of chronology according to a different chronology it's ninety rather than one hundred years there are also other theories some physicists go so far as to claim that a better concentration of oxygen in the air before the great flood may have been responsible for longer lives which. tree of moscow state university is designed to fight aging scientists experiment with a wide range of animals trying to boost their lifespan they studied the effects of new medications on both the organs and the entire organism one experiment aims to make the eyes of these rabbits remain healthy one of the most spectacular results.

has been achieved by administering special drops to rats they have been named after the founder of the department of bioengineering dr school a trio of when the rats begin aging their condition is in stark contrast to that of rats of the same age. reporter the rats that were about to settle it on the journey to the other world could no longer move they were in the final stage of aging at the summit but there were other rats of the same age who had been fed on our medication and drinking water they were still quite agile they had not lost interest in life if you report these rats lived much longer than the control group would be a good thing to do so it's interesting. as well as the current research the scientists test their findings on themselves dr school at charles has even read himself of several deep seated ailments affecting his eyesight but over those are only the first steps in
12:56 am
a budding area of science the crux of the problem is that scientists will have to find ways of cancelling the bodies process responsible for aging. like a physicist in france for example are not allowed to experiment with perpetual motion machines for the pharmacologists likewise are not supposed to look for a cure all of us away if we succeed in counseling the aging programs that we should be able to slow down all diseases resulting from me gene. scientists wanting to find a way of extending human life are often seen as quite blood in their school or church over his four sons hope that in four or five years time they will be able to counsel or at least slow down our body's natural aging process what is it steak is the scientifical for a day of an entire dynasty of microbiologists. this is before i was doing research in three martel to singlehanded i would be in a terrible rush but i'm happy to know that at least one of these four guys here
12:57 am
will carry on the work and i'm happy. is it at all possible to come saw aging process right after birth are scientists on the right track and who says there is of what could be done to make people stay young longer will replenish the list of human illusions and dashed hopes there was an ongoing struggle to convince people of the possibility of a turn of life has its achievements and its failures. having watched this documentary you are now twenty six minutes old a. few. feet feet few .

three broadcast video for your media project free media r.t. dot com. russia says no to regime change in syria and votes against what it calls an unbalanced un resolution that fails to address the dangers posed by armed insurgents. fueling anti around the rhetoric israel accuses the islamic state of targeting its diplomats after thai police link a group of a rainy and two explosions in bangkok. and eurozone leaders decide the terms of next a bailout package for greece we report on how some of you are free countries are managing to avoid the worst of europe's crisis.

forecasting live from moscow twenty four hours a day you're watching r.t. a very warm welcome to our top story now the majority of the u.n. general assembly has adopted a non-binding resolution that piles more pressure on the syrian president to step down russia was among those who voted against the motion maintains the conflict should be solved through a gradual political transition led by the syrian people report not as the latest now from new york. this is very much a symbolic kind of message on the part of the international stage because you have an overwhelming majority of the u.n. members in the general assembly supporting a resolution that essentially endorses the arab league plan which calls for syrian president bashar al assad to step down it also condemns syrian authorities for
1:02 am
violating human rights fundamental right or freedoms and using force against civilians it also calls for u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon to appoint an envoy to syria this text resolution condemns syrian authorities now the reason for all countries did not support this resolution is because they argue it's on balance most of those would be because the new order to resolve the syrian crisis there's a need to uphold principle which no one seems to object to the violence must be stopped by all sides and this is serious solutions can only be found through an inclusive political led by the syrians themselves today's arab league draft resolution on the situation in the syrian arab republic does not meet these criteria to a large extent it reflects the worrying trend that causes concern to attempt to isolate the syrian leadership reject contact with it and impose an external formula
1:03 am
for a political settlement but. russia has in the past of course offered to facilitate a dialogue between the syrian officials and representatives of the opposition groups to host those negotiations in moscow but now where you see the majority of the international community is standing behind a plan that calls for president assad to step down the opposition groups will most likely not be running to a negotiation table. in syria violence is getting worse nearly a year after first flared up the government troops doing all they can to crush the armed insurgency both sides accuse each other committing atrocities but the facts are hard to confirm due to heavy restrictions on foreign media activity but r.t. correspondent lara for national has the latest from the conflict torn country. damascus one day to funerals the men in both coffins were killed falling victim to

the ongoing crisis in syria but at the hands of different sides i. might said dick thirty seven reportedly received five bullets to his chest and his head has become the first religious leader slain in the capital for us sad for announcements those who knew him say the mom had tried to stay in the middle of the present crisis but couldn't help condemning the armed and to government forces that he blamed for bloodshed in his country. but i would like to go back a few months ago we then heard people talking with words like freedom and peaceful where is freedom and peace simply kill all those against them is this defeat and they want to see you in. a brutal irony that shakes adik himself was gunned down by those whose violence he put himself against. he was killed because he was calling for reform and the end of clashes those who did it only want chaos and. this is
1:05 am
what we are this is the message to all islamic leaders the word of truth may cost your life would be the you tried to defend your country or stop the violence or stop bloodshed you are not safe if you are saying the truth many people pay the price for truth he was one of them and. martyr for some a traitor for others an internet page of the opposition news network sharm is a chilling picture of the hatreds driving the conflict in syria. he was killed and his soul was sent to hell this is what he deserves there is no armed people there is no believe violence is a tool to change the political situation in syria people don't have political issues to any sides it is really a very deep crisis very very assertive and you will see me turn to
1:06 am
a demonstration or a protest was that exactly what happened at this funeral procession. the those who gathered to pay tribute to. show did you and then to government protest have not only brought flowers and grief but also political slogans and demands man think i think her afraid for our children and people and brothers and sisters. assad is killing us security forces were firing at the mosque but people inside didn't do anything wrong. witnesses say the bullet to cause the young boy at the threshold of the mosque and his body fell inside we have in islam . for respect shown wave for respect with holy mosques and we believe we have to avoid any kind of violence in mosques but unfortunately with this kind of crimes with this kind of tragedy situation there is no hole in
1:07 am
this for any doctor from the islamic studies center says there is a frightening symmetry both believe. war. as a reaction. government nic said that and the opposition said this seems. that with fallen schools and even more violence syria seems to find itself in a vicious circle with little hope of finding a way out. damascus syria where a syrian second c is being aided by foreign powers pursuing their own agendas in the region that's if you have one winning investigative journalist russ baker. we're seeing a similar pattern to what we saw in libya and that is this other western countries clearly want bashar assad out just as much as they wanted khadafi out and we are
1:08 am
seeing this introduction of tremendous amounts of force very skilled sophisticated operations like the assassination of that cleric like the assassination of a general the other day in damascus very skilled operatives are bringing this battle right home to assad and that is not the sign of a traditional peaceful uprising that's not to say that there are not a large number of people in syria who would like to get rid of assad but i think that that sentiment of part of the population is being dramatically helped along by outside forces. well still ahead few this hour a year after the uprising against gadhafi ongoing violence and claims of true in libya cost of dark shadow on the country and rescue celebrations. foreign media has a new darling the russian blogger anticorruption not just home he's more radical and aggressive. type police are searching for two more suspects
1:09 am
linked to a failed terror plot targeting two israeli diplomats in bangkok to rainy and have already been detained over explosions in thailand tehran already under enormous international pressure over its nuclear program denies accusations it was behind the attack really going to school reports. like the battle drones are growing louder and louder with israel continuing to this really harsh rhetoric towards iran accusing them essentially of terrorizing the entire world community there was a harsh statement from tel aviv which called to impose paralyzing sanctions on tehran all this while iran has just made it clear that they are indeed ready to sit down for talks to continue talks on its nuclear program but the prime minister of israel has made a statement saying that iranian aggression should be stopped so there of course that brings forth many theories that the military confrontation with iran is imminent and nowhere are these fears more prominent than in israel according to the
1:10 am
latest polls less than fifty percent of the israelis support the idea of going to war with iran most of them believe that israel has enough problems of its own already already exists saying that you don't really need another confrontation with iran there is of course the issue of palestine which never really completely goes off the table then there is the rather strained relations with lebanon which some fear may escalate into a renewed conflict and the latest of those concerns of course is the issue of egypt where the muslim brotherhood said that they might reconsider a peace accord which they do have with israel in response to u.s. pressure in regards to the scandal so a lot of people in israel primarily are thinking that perhaps israel should stop the rhetoric it does carry on right now and focus on its internal problems and the problems on those borders rather than really push forth with aggressive rhetoric
1:11 am
towards iran. well we're closely following developments surrounding iran online you can log on to r.t. dot com to get all day to stop dates. stance on iran is hardly despite u.s. intelligence concluding there is little chance islamic state will start any but it actually gets the country. and the aftermath. that took the lives of three hundred fifty inmates address these questions over the actions of prison guards reported that people walked up to the border that all you choose. to use today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to rule the day.
1:12 am
russian blogger novell name has been heaped to global praise for his anti corruption campaigning being compared by some to wiki leaks julian assange arms but if abroad he's seen as a harsh critic of putin back home he's just as well known for his radical nationalist what is in these are no reports. he's the anti corruption crusader making waves in and outside of russia for his push for transparency and exposing a multi-billion dollar holes in state projects for political phenomenon blogger and opposition dolling alexei live on the often gets glossy coverage and is rarely asked tough questions by international media whether comparing navarre you need to julian assange or calling him one of the most influential new political figures he's hardly challenge to prominently praised and very present.
1:13 am
corruption is the very basis of the political system which. which in phone go he's not a score when speaking at rallies which has been at their biggest numbers in decades because it's got. him. these are good guys those that are going to concede those just granted really don't because it's just nobody's popularity in major cities and on the web soars in comparison with the rest of russia it's good when you've got your foreign media coverage won't make him any more popular they keep writing about live on the but his recognition race in russia is only some three percent many russians who do no know what our names do for his sometimes shocking nationalism. what if it was the words that dressed up as a dentist here he compares migrant workers to rotten teeth that need pulling out of the way we mean for our butts that would be right and here are non russian
1:14 am
intruders to cockroaches smiling you'll need more than a sliver to kill them. you know what i'm still going to commit this but inside russia you find much more criticism of the blogger and his questionable connections to radicalism than abroad where it's usually buried barely mentioned or brushed off as a larger russian problem we tried calling contacting and finally caught up with not vide me but to no avail i didn't see it but i know that it was for that as the reason it was not with. the best and that's at the bottom of the good ideas and what you know is not possible to know the national day seconds later he did find time to tell russia's rian news agency he's ignored by much of the russian press because that's what it would be ready to go if i were to meet up with a typical video of the system and what he was up the other seemingly more ready to
1:15 am
speak ironically non-rhotic to. channels like the country's corruption problems and criticize want to put forward a real solution rather than how to make sure russia is from russia and he says no way r t moscow. libya is marking the first anniversary of the start of its nato backed up rising which brought down colonel moammar gadhafi and to a brutal civil war the national transitional council which took charge is still struggling to control the country amidst international recently easier to see really to protect human rights thousands of dollars. inside libya former rebels are to struggle for the internet time economies crimean. journalist feel a little bit in the good price. predictable. there is actually no government in libya at the moment the anything you see is nothing more than a media show that there are hundreds of militias that control different parts of
1:16 am
the country and this one of gadhafi and the former libyan government always warned that this would happen so we are we are seeing that anybody who doesn't agree with this state of affairs by the western backed rebels is systematically persecuted as you mentioned. have done a report showing that there is a systematic people who support about the not least the former permanent representative of the united nations. human rights watch did a report on it basically say that he's been tortured to within an inch of his life and they called for him to either be brought before a court or released immediately to very important other figures to ask me to bring him. just because they don't support the nato intervention in that country they have also been tortured to this day are being detained we actually don't know their status. well some world news in brief for you the sound i believe is of britain and
