you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harkin welcome to the big picture. we are facing a lot of problems. because no one thought to drink no good school. mates when you've been part. of a local what's national boundaries in law in the local needs you might want to see l.n.g. motion will be used. you've done for artist i

was fired i must fight. for right. oh and welcome to technology update while the sun and palm trees may not immediately scream winter olympics the clock behind me shows that time is ticking as russia sochi transforms itself from a sunny summertime resort into a cutting edge winter sports complex all over russia in fact the final countdown is on not so little reminders were placed. the country. the next winter

olympics are fast approaching and it's time for the final push. each host country has tried to. i was transported to the great barrier reef before the.

gravity. of the shape. want to make sure everything works exactly as it should. any condition and it must immediately. then forty five degrees below zero to work properly. it has to work. or any other weather. has to function in.

it will be produced especially for this purpose. for the torch can be used to light the cauldron in sochi next year it's got quite a busy travel schedule ahead of it it will make its way all over russia carried by many of the country's biggest and brightest personalities the list of those carrying. cold weather compatriots carries the national banner into competition. and flown over to moscow it will be taken on a whirlwind one hundred twenty three day tour around russia is slated to pass through nearly three thousand cities and to cover around sixty five thousand kilometers in the process. a limp dick and paralympic torch is built specially designed to deal with whatever the russian winter throws at it. or snow the olympic flame and ideals it represents simply won't be extinguished.

the journey to this point started five and a half years ago when precious and vicious plan was chosen. the olympic park and accompanying. the water's edge amid sochi subtropical weather in an effort to make the experience more accessible for visitors all the coastal cluster will be within a ten to fifteen minute walking distance. has had to be built from scratch what you see today is completely unrecognizable from what was here just a few years ago but that's only half the story here. some fifty kilometers away. jumping sledding and other downhill competitions given the commute between the two clusters transport solutions have taken a front seat. change. train station it connects the alpine venues to everything the olympic park. the airport

and even moscow. the country's largest train station to do is increase traffic up to fifteen thousand people and our existing track lines have been expanded of all the transport projects. to the mountain cluster. a river up the hill roughly fifty bridges spanning almost twenty kilometers had to be built including this. bridge stretching eight hundred meters it's the first of its kind in the south of russia eighty meter high concrete pylons opted for this design to minimize the risk of landslides. the first stop on the way to the top is the station for all intents and purposes just about ready for action. it will be the main stop. station will help some twenty thousand fans of their high altitude destination each hour.

only heavy machinery and supplies are being tugged up and down the line. by the time two thousand and fourteen rolls around new electric. longet speeds up to one hundred sixty kilometers an hour thirty minutes from bottom to top. all of the olympic projects under expert review to make sure that they don't necessarily threaten the environment or spectators and that the. distance russian technology is being used for that very purpose. in the world. it was built from the ground. to make sure everything is. the world's attention the technology required to create such breathtaking displays. that just the right temperature and. task.

for themselves. super i like to track the ice is getting better every day is becoming. i think the track was designed. to help keep over the top speed. on the potentially dangerous. to make the track traditionally free on have been the two main ways to keep big things cool. have always been valued for the relatively low cost. that's been balanced against their power serious toxicity on the other hand. which actually may make for. recent decades. have

become better known a major reason. for doesn't have any kind of smell. it's a heavy gas and in case of major leaks it settles down to the ground. out. there so if they are the freon leak they can experience oxygen deficiency which may result in poisoning or even death. dangerous for. throughout. the company responsible for producing. three levels depending on the concentration of whole sections of the piping can be closed off. systems it would take fifteen to sixty minutes for information about emergencies to

reach those who needed it but at times it was even covered up now it's impossible to conceal this kind of data. the company actually develops and produces a wide array of different detecting sensors they run the gamut from electro chemical. hard they all have fast technology through calibration. they're ready to be plugged in for round the clock contamination monetary. magically it's constantly running constantly doing what it's supposed to. the case of an emergency within forty seconds. transmitted to trigger the warning system and allows the necessary measures to be taken it all happens very quickly. with. all the data from such sensors. and then federal branches of the country's

emergency services ministry. information from the connected. stations like this. and another pair of. monitors. those federal watchdog should be able to react in real time. to record breaking feats. or the ongoing construction and coming influx of sports mad. power grid was in need of much more. transmission power. station was built in two thousand and. techniques that reduced the construction on the surrounding area. substations popping up in the area after it given the sometimes twenty degrees below zero temps engineers house and much of the machinery behind closed doors. including the

federal grid company has increased the number of mountain substations many times the. transformers are already hooked in and deliver the right voltage to the mountain venue sites while under construction is said to be ready for action this march at the same time six more have been built provide the juice to the coastal. and surrounding areas if that weren't enough existing substations have been updated . on the olympics. construction has progressed over the past few years. has been on a constant uptick. projects have been completed and. the strain on the grid has increased threefold. safe. stations. hydroelectricity. power plants. stations have been constructed to give an extra nine hundred megawatts of capacity

own hard road to the top for any of the sun here in russia have added their little exercise enough already unwavering training regimen. it seems cruel but despite all the hard work blood sweat and tears the majority of aspiring athletes will never reach these peaks of professional sports with that in mind researchers working with the university of physical culture and sport in moscow a looking to harness the latest technology to get aspiring athletes over that hump is potentially dangerous and illegal doping isn't an option the new secret to success may lie in element ever present in the air we breathe but longer looked. it was discovered over one hundred years ago by sir william ramsey and morse travers' a novel finding certainly practical applications for it were fleeting. the one nine hundred thirty s. found use in high speed flash photography and a bit later as an anesthetic in operations. from being adopted by the

medicine. could be changing. thanks to work being carried out here at the institute of medical and biological problems xenon could be on the verge of a major revival. amongst the hyperbaric chambers where many of the country's divers and astronauts have gone through pressure chamber tests and training docs are taking a look at just what has to offer. in recent years what used to be observable favorable side effects of base and become objects of inquiry in their own right. exactly how the gas interacts with receptors is still under study initial trials and experiments have shown that xenon and its neuroprotective properties can relieve stress anxiety and even help addicts get over withdrawal symptoms. and if we talk about the production of. there's no better place to look in the business for over twenty years all over the

globe company officials placed their market share at around one quarter of. the history of the company has primarily dealt with so-called technical xenon that is not for human ingestion but over the years as the gases and medical benefits have grown the demand for peers has followed accordingly. other gases are all around us all of the time they just in such small quantities that getting our hands on them require sophisticated machinery and no small dose of know how as a result there's a very limited number of countries currently able to capture and put it to use for human kind. of. producers worldwide. extracted from air but there are only five countries they produce it commercially the united states france germany russia and ukraine. is recovered

as a byproduct of oxygen production at large mental or physical factories plants special air separating machines oxygen and also generate as an encrypted mixture as a byproduct of the next of those to gases is then shipped to us before the refining which we manufacture for medical purposes. requires extra puti cation. the purity of these even they will produce is ninety nine point nine nine nine nine percent additionally we also limit the share of harmful impurities in the gas our refining technology isn't paid indeed unique to remove all the. you can through the be used for surgeries and all kinds of other treatments. at the end of the process they get nearly ready to be sent on to clinics and hospitals under the brand name med at the moment is still rather expensive especially when

compared with other and statics. proponents argue that when you take into account problems in complications associated with other knockout gases the prices come closer together before the medical gets into the hands of a qualified doctor every batch is tested and checked for purity. requires them to control for six kinds of impurities they go the extra mile to control for a full ten as a result the level of impurities in the medical xenon produced here is around two to three times lower than regulators demand. every year we discover new particularly over using xenon as in an authentic as a result we're figuring out absolutely new ways to play zenon this is a truly unique medicine. it is totally harmless to humans but at the same time. and it can be used to cheat just about any organ in the body depending on what the

problem is with but which. has many potential applications researchers here are specifically interested in how it can improve the performance of athletes they recently organize an experiment to lay the groundwork for future use in sports. to be a very strong stress protector. in other words cases involving stress whether it be acute a chronic stress the best way to deal with it is small therapeutic doses of this substance and when we talk about spilled before competition and athletes needs to relax sleep well and improve functional capacities with this experiment we're trying to see just how xenon can help. so over a ten day period a group of young athletes were given a controlled dose of and had a healthy. research is allowing doctors and scientists to better understand how the

gas actually interacts with the body's organisms as well as working out the best way to incorporate into one's workout after taking in the gas the experiments the subjects would spend a night in a controlled environment where the sleep patterns could be followed more closely. to see what the results of the experiment looked like from the athlete side of the coin we checked in on one of the. training across the country in complex that will host in two thousand and fourteen in his mind the short experiment and a noticeable effect. after the experiment in the hyperbaric chamber it was much easier for me to train and i was able to recover much more quickly afterwards. during. test trainings at my ski club i've posted the best results. more experiments are planned for later this year but of course it will take some

simple breathing sessions to get to these guys level both the first results and researchers hope that they've done their part to bring hardware back home this time next year. old to be used in professional sports. it's going to be. physicians and hopefully they will be able to use it to help athletes get to. take part like the. are already completed and starting to host their preliminary test events earlier this month the main hockey arena was packed to the gills not for any competition but to mark the start of the final countdown. performances as well as speeches by international sports chiefs and national leaders there's not. much less
