unfortunately for them russian shops have little to offer what is sold as eco and bio friendly is often far from it they are productive and by a broad as have found a niche in the market i think starboard environment and in you fashion for a healthy lifestyle. there are no legal standards or certified labeling schemes for organic projects in russia. so individual farmers define it in their own way. 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 habs he's even aiming for his first harvest of black caviar from sturgeon as he breeds not far away from us go if you are. big business simply can't afford to produce ecologically clean product they'll 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 had said and ambitious task to offer its customers and unprecedented range of eco products 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 by the psyche founded and online organic store trying to help small pharma survive and at the same time improve the quality of life while 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 bread 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 nine 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 faraway coonass are probably unaware of the treasures they could offer and russian conduct to be discovered. and scary. and as. our website r.t. dot com is the place where you can find all the latest news and analysis including this. two iranian warships have sailed through the suez canal into the

mediterranean find out where they are headed why. they are said to be as a fast and furious as a ferrari or gandhi or mas a rowdy you know getting away turtles band after the supercars will take part in a special race turned into r.t. dot com for more. the u.s. defense secretary has welcomed afghanistan's involvement in a peace talks with the taliban president hamid karzai has confirmed his country along with the u.s. are trying to negotiate an agreement with the militant group but our military contributor says karzai continues to avoid the real issues that cause instability in the country. 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 political correctness mr karzai was careful this spared from answering two most important challenges facing afghanistan right now that is there rampant corruption there is suffocating the country and the narco aggression. leading factors there who precipitated the implosion of ghana stand from within. russia and china have come under heavy criticism after they've vetoed the u.n. security council resolution on syria it's just the most recent example of the two standing largely on their own parties the resident asks people in the big apple why

the two countries seem to be so feared and mistrusted. 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 the u.s. in probably three minutes but anyone with an atomic bomb true so why china in particular. chinese people are very dangerous why what has made you think that hell have you ever been personally threatened by a chinese birth that no so why do you feel that way. they know kung fu i don't think we 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 and what are their legitimate human rights issues everywhere don't we have them

here in the us sure i think a different scale there but but yes we do have another places when this there was stuff to find out so well that is a step to find also well that will screw nobody's going to give us some money away 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 scared at all so i don't think you 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 that that's more amul aiding and looking up to rather than fearing but we're taught to fear them why do you think that 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 to do because the news and all

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 so is this 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. on to some other news making headlines around the world at this hour. police in senegal have fired tear gas and rubber bullets at crowds of protesters the demonstrations were against the current president. running for a third term as head of state the constitution allows for only two stretches in

how long can a human being live for. the thousands of years people sought to find an elixir 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 or church of island it is named after its creator for d.m.s. color choice 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 till two thousand and five that we put

the whole formula of each fighting on paper and why you rip. them. 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 the signal went right across this tiny island of cells it's really quite an unusual sight. dying of old age was uncommon in ancient 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

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 disgrace for idea they should be allowed to live in the homes where they were born they should be cared for and loved and 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 out 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 cause here 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.

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. this time it seems that this year 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 the 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 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 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 to shoot operations like a. little bit nervous but i think much. more exciting than anything else

i really feel loved with doing now he will be. but. it's actually doing some soil where i actually got 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 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. ecan 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 senses 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 areas of the skin of the remaining head and if you find the right spots to steamy day we know that also that correlate to 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. more importantly robin even recalled how it felt when he touched something. bigger put there now i can give orders for my bring to my body which i haven't done in years when you can.
