and break up you can hear a lot of pollution in saying that we didn't get rid of you know that i have this voice comes across nothing and then you supposed to integrate militias into the supposed national supposed national police force and just by the very limited newspaper reports you can see that very very few people do and you have this creation of a federation of the western militias a few days ago one hundred militias in the western libya and that really does seem to be a step on the road to the breakup of libya into at least two parts west and east if not more american and afghan officials are in secret peace talks with the taliban according to president hamid karzai the afghan leader describes the negotiations as a breakthrough in attempts to end the war that's tracked on for more than ten years but artie's military contributor says karzai continues to avoid the real issues standing between afghanistan and prosperity. interview to

a wall street journal was the most important public relations event for the president of afghanistan it was rather strange when mr karzai during this interview quoted unwittingly the former soviet president gorbachev referring to afghanistan as the leading war in full display of correctness mr karzai was carefully spared from answering to most important challenges facing afghanistan right now that is there rampant corruption. that is suffocating the country. and. aggression. leading factors there could precipitate the implosion of ghana's stand from

within. healthy shoppers who think they're buying organic food from russia supermarket shelves may need to think again with fake standards for labeling products buyers often don't know what they're getting but farmers are making a change for the better paving the way for russia to become a provider of organic food for the rest of the world that was cover reports. to feast for the eyes but not necessarily for your stomach and many would be shocked to find out what exactly makes its way onto our plates. if only people knew what their sausage is made of or how their yogurt was bottled they would be very upset and would stop buying anything at all of the shops but. perhaps that's why there is a growing demand among people in russia's main cities make products unfortunately for them russian shops have little to offer what is sold as eco and bio friendly is often far from it. by abroad as have found a niche in the market i think starboard environment and you fashion for

a healthy lifestyle. there are no legal standards also defied labeling schemes for organic produce in russia. so individual farmers define it in their own way but it's really on every farmer's own conscience. alexander is a computer programmer who turned to working the land what started as a hobby is now a mini industry with several farms in the moscow region covering livestock fish vegetables and herbs he's even aiming for his first harvest of black caviar from sturgeon's he breeds not far away from moscow if you ever only go big business simply can't afford to produce ecologically clean product they use pesticides to boost growth and lower the cost of everything i do is pure without a drop of chemicals. this new market in moscow have said and ambitious task to offer its customers and unprecedented range of eco. product what started as an

attempt to bring organic food to the masses turned out to be almost impossible in reality no russian farmers can produce all this let alone in quantities needed for a large city so anything truly eco and bio friendly remains a luxury only a few people in russia can afford despite soaring prices for anything organic individual farmers find it hard to make their businesses profitable beaten by the supermarkets with their cheap processed food but he said founded and online organic store trying to help small farm a survivor and at the same time improve the quality of life will food conscious customers just like him. initially we simply wanted healthy stuff for our families and friends now we hand pick each person involved in the production of meat or great that we sell so that we know where the food has come from and the business is growing. some going as far as saying russia with its plenty of land could

eventually become an organic food basket for the whole world or very few europe in one hundred fourteen russia third half of the world and we could easily get back to that but the state needs to start investing in agriculture. and while city dwellers are only starting to go back to their roots milledge is in russia's most organic far away coolness are probably unaware of the treasures they could offer and russian klondyke to be discovered. r.t. scary jhon russia and china angered a large section of the international community when they enjoy leave the dough to a u.n. security council resolution condemning president assad's regime in syria it's just the most recent example of the two standing largely on their own in the international arena so artie's resident in new york laurie harmfulness went to ask people whether the two countries should be feared and why.

if you believe the news media you should fear china and russia this week let's talk about why if they wanted to china could wipe out to us in probably three minutes but anyone with an atomic bomb could true so why china in particular chinese people are very dangerous why what is made you think bad have you ever been personally threatened by a chinese person no so why do you feel that way. they know kung fu i don't think were in the good of relationship with them so should we fear them is that going to make relations better and we should fear of them i think they should fear us i think there's a legitimate concerns about human rights there and i think we need to pay attention to what are their legitimate human rights issues everywhere don't we have them here in the u.s. sure i think a different scale there but but yes we do have another places when there's there

was stuff to find out so well that is this stuff to find out so well that will screw nobody's going to give us someone who would be but we're participating in that why is it their fault because they're acting smartly. it's hard to resist last year i was in china i wasn't at all i don't think you'd be to should be i don't think we should run our country like china or russia but i think there are some ideas and some kind of plans they have that help their economy so maybe we can learn from a so that's more amul aiding and looking up to rather than fearing but we're taught to fear them why do you think that it is because fear keeps you in control if you are afraid it's easier to be manipulated by somebody telling you to do something rather than questioning what they say everybody is freak scared today because the new than old the media makes people scare them specially in america why china and russia in particular are we made to feel scared because they're very powerful

that's what we think ultimately they're going to be a part of the growth picture and they need us as much as we need them so why are people scared of them why are they painted in this more of a picture it's always the same so maybe we should get to know them invite them over for coffee like that whether or not you believe the world should fear china and russia the bottom line to me is the old adage those who live in glass houses should never throw a stone. and later learn more about the magica cirque du soleil the latest spectacular shows are currently in moscow only the second city in the world to welcome at barnes and eighties fine to street artists or to sell a house of all over the years and to a unique mix of performance art and professional acrobatics and contortionists an hour's time marty's interview show spotlight on step craig collins the man who first brought the renowned company to russia and what the crowds can expect at this

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 i own it is named after its creator blood. of he heads the department of genetic engineering at moscow state university. maybe there will always be 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 where you really push them. according to dr school of 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 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

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. counters 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 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 river's a cause here could prevent aging. the old man said there were no magic reverse but there was a want a full repeal in powers. that. each morning he washed there and drank some water. among them because the methods of fighting old age had 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

being will walk the earth in two thousand and forty five this bold claim comes from the russia two thousand and forty five movement in december two thousand and eleven its representatives demonstrated their first accomplishment on the hard road to immortality this electronic is only the start of a process that hopes to finish with a fully functioning human cybil. the seventy fifth is this true we will meet again in five years time with my double will be here but i'll be in another room or at home yet you will still feel that you are talking to me and not my double. dmitri it's called does not put his hopes in such dreams instead as a successful businessman he has gathered many scientists doctors and inventors their chief goal is to create the perfect body to give it soul and consciousness of 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 the person falls asleep and wakes up in another body where he feels just as comfortable. to me to 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. by 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 and machine kevin warrick has volunteered to be a human cyborg. first imply that i had. 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 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 of the way i think. the operation lasted for several hours rick 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 him self 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 system 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 that correlate areas of the brain court case will be activated. 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 or. more importantly.
