david cameron's under increasing pressure to guarantee a vote on the u.k. future in the you. britain's european populace for such a divorce code he counts as strong. some of these traditional chili lines the grit and develops and passed down from generation. this is a total destruction of the culture in mexico telling them i mean this this is not going to impact asylum in mexico whatever happens here i have to hope we're eating out in the in the open in the in all or the news or. genetically engineered crops why do you think this country is full of obese and sick people because we have a crappy food system. is

the. time of massive change stolen dreams of a modem industrial nation and he wants to fast but to do it he needs fuel. to coal is the bread of industry and during the soviet union the miner was held up as a shining example of what a worker should clean toilets and ready to sacrifice himself for his country and the hardest workers of all were here in siberia screws boss region taking the coal that would make everything from steel. to record.

more than seven hundred billion tons of coal mines and a hundred thousand people i want to meet these men and find out just what it takes to work in russia's coal based on the first. is how to keep themselves safe from. the six six seven m. life support system is designed to protect the lungs from gases in the event of an explosion. you take the cap off and drop it.

i have my briefing and it's time to head down. to ten o'clock in the morning to join the day shift. to be six in the. country where they take out almost two hundred thousand tons of coal every month. the machine carrying us was like something out of a science fiction movie a massive metal snake suspended. and slithering its way three hundred meters beneath us. and the piece itself is equally. covered with a choking one. dust. the ceiling is held in place with a nice minus shuffles beneath them as they get into position behind the masses just

feet. and it's this multimillion dollar cutting tool that allows them to extract the fowls and tonnes of coal every forty minutes. or machines operated by two men will be in choosing control panels one of the right one of the left just. quite frankly. don't produce good professionals the safety precautions described in the books and regulations really aren't helpful you only get experience by working as a team with the newcomers but what's the old miner has to learn how to do the job the. numbers mean the mine isn't just thrown in the deep and the man operation that she has a lot of his colleagues in his. nice new recruits needs up to

a year of training. with a local you've made a mistake. you have to adjust the support leg before you can start extracting my cold. if you don't make the grade it's back to the drawing board but there's much more than just classroom training. each miner needs to show they know what to do if an emergency really does. you've got to be physically fit enough to get others out under the toughest of circumstances. each new recruits has to undergo a grueling workouts in a special sauna is ridiculously holmes. and it's a long. speech. he.

believes just keep coming and i was starting to feel a little dizzy. this was a real situation i might be expected to put out a form so you have to be able to stomach humidity but once one hundred fifty i was told to take a break from doctor's orders. cooled down a bit it was back to the growing. today

three hundred of. a little bit but now. fortunately convey isn't heavy machinery to take most of the weights in today's pits but the next day for myself. ok. next time we'll drop everything and do as you say we're going to everything needs to be in order. the power's out ok let me check a tradition is all we did and the circuits are open for five minutes i'll get the power to you. and get to it.

but it doesn't take long to get things going again that makes everyone happy. except me perhaps. this is a pretty good job with the best of times but the thing about being the new guy is you get zero everything that no one else wants to do is well. glamorous life i lead. there's no doubt the mind is lot is better than it used to be the men work less hours for more pay and the times when you have to put in a full day of back breaking labor and long gone but some of the problems they face now are as real as they were more than a century ago. now

back when these columnists first arrived here you couldn't imagine a more difficult or dangerous profession than mining as well as having to dig out all the coal by hand there was always the ever present threat that the roof might just collapse on your head and that's where these plane supports came in they would actually start to squeak if the pressure became too much so at least there was a chance that the miners would hear and be able to get out. if that. isn't bad enough. they also had to worry about the build up of methane gas because of the poor ventilation and then along would come the man with possibly the worst job in the entire world dressed head to toe in went to go toilet and carrying a lid to watch it literally come up suck it into the gas fill tunnel

and. loop up what do we put them up explosion you've just seen was the result of safety regulations being violated in your little bit. of the supports weren't in line with safety regulations. a mass of coal caved in at the cable and ripped open the insulation with it but. the explosion was caused by an electrical impulse from a faulty ventilator. the electrical equipment in the shaft was also faulty but that's how it happened. the same build up has to be constantly monitored and mine is now the way to do it on the ground. so this little gadgets is a very important piece of safety equipment not everyone has one because it measures

three different gases that are present in the amount of oxygen the amount of carbon monoxide i mean amounts of methane. if the amount of methane for instance reaches more than one percent then lights off last a long full sound and ever oh no they. become small it also has technology that tells them where the miners at any time. it was so now there are two guys down in the pits above ground with a simple click of a mouse you can see the name of everyone on shift today and i'm sure they all are right now. it's another mortal precaution because you never know exactly when an accident. oh i was worried about a story you knew three judy manager go ahead with. six or six.

ok even understood. news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images seeing from the streets of canada. trying to cope ration the day.

really happening to the global economy. and. welcome to the big picture.

well we're on the move for number one to maintain contact with banks number two the c.e.o. levels number three some communications and fall take temperature readings every five minutes if you find anyone else. everybody can still. stand by i. would like to get to our task today concerns both tactical and technical training

it will involve two units our unit is up the underground base we are to keep in touch with the second unit if the second unit of needs help with we are duty bound to give it to me for some of you. with me. to meet you this search unit is currently moving along the route. of you know injured people have been found so far. there is gas and too much smoke and then the man will never get further with the help of ropes tethering them together in a line but this method will assist them in the operation. nobody.

understood. in their years. as an internet. man out of the blocks. of wood plants. his breathing. he's breathing. didn't see any obvious injuries. his legs broken. well. gary he's bringing. all this will help him very. low pressure is ok bring the stretcher here. let's listen in to him it's a sad facts that coal mining is still one of the world's most dangerous professions every million tonnes of christmas coal is estimated to cost three to four life's. work paul says his breathing. we must be responsible not

only for the people we are searching for but also for ourselves but there have been cases when the rescuers didn't come back. with the injured men have then taken to hospital. you know that it's a trading exercise but when the dust flood of the smoke comes in it's actually very frightening i can't imagine what it would be like have to go through that for real . thank god there are guys like this they do the job that they do. because most region has some of the best trained rescue rangers in the country and

they're ready to go at a moment's notice the job can be trying but it has its rewards. well thought she. was live months they called us in to search up central mine shaft. but caved in. you but for the most part about twelve hours digging a man out. to begin with we had drilled a small holes to give them food and water. but all three of them survived to be above well as it turned out they were my former colleagues used to work together in the mine for years before they were lucky they got them both near a worker bus but the whole thing collapsed and was closed off moments after we pulled them all alto. my boys we will only be just in time. but tragedies like the response to mine explosion which killed sixty six people back in two thousand and ten is still very fresh in the memory. powell feels there

are still certain private companies who put money before safety. and as a girl i was on a different career the most normal safety procedures were ignored then even tied rags over the census to disable them a better more weight had on many investigations or because no money had been sort of a neighbor who's going to invest money here. i went to see some of the process is that they're working on a camera his new clean coal or a trim but the man in charge says they still have a long way to go. i do inquiries of course lines during forty years and i name into this coal like a big black screen chs big because as million tonnes black because this kind of coal and swings because we don't know what is it.

will be researching into old tiggy is out of the rock coal is ever present in the cosmos region and if you've not had enough of it at work you can even grab a bite to eat in a restaurant that's devoted to it. the bit that evening for your safety please take this hard hat you'll get a sense of the atmosphere in the cold my and let me take you to your table. surprisingly this local eatery has a very minor friendly menu. sorry your beef tongue salad with coal dust. every minute i spend in the coal mine is a real treat for me. but be warned the regulars can be pretty talkative. i'm sure that's all fascinating stuff but you know i am trying to eat

here more and. still there are a few house specialties which probably didn't make it into the lunch boxes of the mine is a bowls. of hard working. things for a reason ice cream. let's say it's a dessert that's was doing a shift in the fall. we be friends you drink well right then to smile on. our bars special cocktail to cave in. i was. born early.

generous the words. my pulse the punishment of been in no hurry to get back to the pit but i have a date with one of the most experienced miners in the entire comes from all it's company. james let's go over the past two decades me high heels has seen and done it all but he's been joined by his son alexander a pattern that's been repeated in these mines for generations i've been working here for twenty three years one of the unions that we know of modern equipment and people have changed a lot too but it also is have become very demanding border safety measures are much more strictly enforced all that's resulted in increased production.

but fewer and fewer men seem to regard it as a job for life. the other two out of every ten who are hired only two or three will stay and those who do of very hard working if the bosses see anyone being lazy one bell be forced out one you would put up with another down here you have to love your job and you have to work hard because if that's not your attitude then you really can't work as a team to beat you by job. and alexander is not mikhail's only some preparing for life down the pit his brother alexei will be graduating from mining vocational college next year. and even six year old sir again seems destined for the family business. what's your favorite toy. that one. would know look good he'd show. he says it is

favorite now but let's feel when he grows up. he's too little now. doesn't really know what he's talking about. here playing with that hard hat now he likes that. there is no escaping the coal mine. you can't get away. the only thing we have here are mine. if he does go into the mines sergei will help keep the coal coming and the convey is rolling twenty four hours a day production here never stops. so behind me you can finally see the fruits of our labors this year paul i love cold has just been purefoy of the coming out of the pit and now it's ready for it to long journey to the still far trace.

most of the regions like most soulful bitchiness coal ends up in it's making plugs where it's transforms. into this stuff and any more clues it hot. gets heated up to a profound decrease in more than twenty hours to get to. the point really it's been a guy and i'm a tell you what you really do not to want to be getting this close to it. now i just want to give you a quick really easy recipe to make your own soup bust the holes in the steam ice chunks. then pour it in some quantity got.

out a quick list. since then sent out the hoots and signals that gather. much of. the final fight night manageable. just for you i was already aware of the finishing touches. of the cars buses fuel ends up on the final this woman has a far more creative use for us. is the cosmos is only cold sculpts.

are there you when you cover a piece of coal some saw it was it gives you a clue about what it's meant to be. it's a very beautiful material. when i go to exhibitions coal miners sometimes come up to me they've been working in pits for ages they look at one of my pieces and i can almost see tears in their eyes when they see what can be made from a lump of coal and there's no hole just destined for the furnace when i cut it to a new that this is the product of a coal mine is hard work and maybe even of lives lost that's why people appreciate it. coats the coal with a special solvent and uses a razor to prevent it from shattering and the results are quite astounding.

the bet is finished you wouldn't believe it's possible to make such a beautiful thing out of something so brittle and difficult but apparently in the beginning that any. go it was here he started working with coal and his friend bet him that he couldn't make freestanding sculpture out of it. and i hope you didn't put too much money on that. there's no getting away from the facts that coal and money will always go hand in hand in the cause of us region and the this multi-billion dollar business will always be dangerous but it's the glue which binds the people together it's the heart of the community and with new technologies being developed to make life safer for the miners and more productive for their employees to sell a pioneering spirit in this cold color of siberia and still light down in the darkness.

real damage and complexity of this oil spill was not something you can grasp just by looking at dirty birds we have between four to five million people in this directly affected area of the coast and it's pretty clear why it's not being reported because b.p. can't afford to have a reported all along the gulf coast are clean they are safe and they're open for business if b.p.

is the single largest oil contributor to the pentagon the us war machine is heavily reliant upon b.p. and their oil this is a huge step backwards for the marker c. it's a step forward for oligarchy carex it is toxic is a look a lot like spraying and. it was it was not a picture that either the government or b.p. really wanted to have out there i don't want dispersants to be the agent. of this bill's. emission free cretaceous free transport charges free. range month free. three stooges free. download free broadcast quality video for your media projects and free media don
