so we assume and we given the circumstances in which i received the e-mails and the nature of the e-mails this was a suspect this was sold to the bahraini government but we also know that the servers. received this information from the software is actually based environment so the servers are currently in bahrain and they're being updated in bahrain which means that this is further evidence over the past two years particularly since the british advisor john yates joined the bahraini security services we have noticed the increase in the use of surveillance in the use of c.c.t.v. and the use of digital surveillance and there are very targeted arrests and in full infiltration amongst protest activists that are happening using the latest technology technologies and this is all happened since following on from the hiring of the recruitment of john yates and most of these companies that provide all of this technology are british now we know of at least thirty six so being maintained

worldwide so now the this is a global operation gamma international has sold this software to at least twenty five governments and the us seems the use of the software seems to have no any type of restriction so this is turning into a global phenomenon and it's run by the private sector so well look increasingly at the commercialisation of digital surveillance which is even scarier because it's very difficult to regulate. ok in a couple of minutes meet the unseen teen keeping one of russia's best loved museums in tip top condition is coming up next on our team. he is time for us to settle this question about britain and europe. david cameron's

under increasing pressure to guarantee a vote on the u. case future in the you have a son of britain's european faultless fear that such a divorce codes because a strong thick. this

is the best time to come here before opening hours to hear all this silence you can feel that the holes and everything in them are waiting for this day. i was about three years old or maybe less when i first came to the hermitage i remember the impression but everything here is alive but i'm in a sort of fairy tale and when i touch the feet of the atlantis i felt that they were alive and all these statues of ancient gods base seemed alive to me too maybe they were just frozen in the moment but they were still living i'm probably still working some of their miracles. i.

just need to possess and that i must obviously ideas deal with that they're all in deep doodoo without this. the homepage of them and international and. institution and its famous well why yes they're at south but i get to have this opportunity to see what the most of the public wouldn't be able to see. i don't think too many people have ever seen me or even heard of me but i am one of the oldest guardians of the hermitage who knows what could have become of the exhibits if not for me and my friends all. my own a valentine is never late for work but she isn't an employee here at the hermitage

or a good iona is a volunteer from england and we found in the entrance we have seats healthy and they're passing three d. and ten styles we have to tell them to take off the outdoor plating that caisson jackets and put them in the fake family and and just on to any general questions that they may have about. the museum about west finds not so guy. an excursion. in london iona studies russian culture a friend from russia recommended that she worked at the petersburg built into. the school to the first of yes and that's it to me is that it says a when the see a still fairly solid thought. but an a.t.m. yes it's. not totally fancy and some of us wouldn't do that and uncle sam on to us

could only be conservative. iow no bucks here for free she's one of one hundred fifty volunteers they all share in the visitors carry boxes arranged chairs where they needed to be whatever it takes to earn that prestigious title become a volunteer not everyone is worthy of the on a. just about five hours is what we expect from people if they really want to become fully fledged volunteers then we'll have a museum pass made for them. five hours a week is the minimum the true quiet newcomer oksana can find enough free time and she passes her probation period she will also become

a volunteer at russia's grand museum. you will be taking part in one of our grand events dharma taj camp day. instead of an interview i was taking by the hand and led to the basement where we're hanging peaches i have absolutely no idea what way doing or what it is for but i see that it's all about the cat's tail cap. which is. it's the cat so there's lots of people you realize underneath the heavy. caution might have very through the day and you know get in the way down is any of the precious life that they have. she's all right no enemies down here i've been in the museum basement with my friends for years they're not set foot in this place they can sense danger from all four.

volunteers. could you help. with the felicitous i think we need to fix this here. you don't need scissors and i'll show you. ok. so this is how we put our volunteers to work. on a becomes a volunteer will be mysterious decision. came to how much is one day to offer his own help. both of us in petersburg three hundred verse three was approaching and i didn't want to be just an onlooker in two thousand and two i came to the hermitage offer to organize a group of state hermitage volunteers our task was to find one hundred fifty people and select the most active ones who would be able to act in any unexpected situation you have to remember that on the night of may twenty seventh when the hermitage was open all night it had the highest number of visitors there were many

many pregnant ladies because a lot of them hope to have their child on this very day because there were special prizes offered like apartments for babies who were born on some petersburg's anniversary. indeed a few women did deliver their babies right here in the hermitage. or so the volunteers had to be ready to do whatever was needed to react quickly and keep smiling while helping us to resolve all possible situations. but first the volunteers were not well received at the museum. veterans sort of the new generation wanted to take away their jobs after only a few years the stuff members became more friendly. how are you. first of all please write. because. it's very important

why. i will tell you a little bit. about comparing the rings in trees studying them can reveal a lot of information about the state of the environment the tree grew in and its age. francis infelicitous to work out how old these. two have. put it out of the water. that it's so. scary to do it wrong and.

show any. more useful to do it was. recently begun taking photographs. descriptions measure ancient greeks found on the northern black sea coast. they've measured the whole sarcophagus as well as every tiny detail you can see the. so many decorative elements every single decoration needed to be measured photographed. the most important. volunteers will be mentioned in the academic prospectus has. featured dozens of names of people who worked on the team here for over

a year all of them were really among. first in this fascinating process. santa is going through her own probation period. have to go through all this herself if she succeeds. or assignment is to help organize a game for the grand event can stay at the hermitage. cancer very important inhabitants the winter palace and the state hermitage. they've lived in the old winter palace since the times of peter the great when he brought the first cats from holland later his daughter elizabeth just special de craye for cats to be bred in what is now modern day. fifty cats were then brought from. since the seventeen forties those cats descendants have lived in the winter

palace they've been provided with food in return for keeping the exhibits a deal. we are also volunteers of sorts we work for food and that serena she is also a volunteer gives us food and medicine and takes care of us i don't quite understand why she does it. matter of course her name is so if you call. if you've had your hair she's going to. need hair. right here. where often asked we can't use our favorite but that was our favorite is the one that is the saddest the one who is sick at that moment we give them all the same love and care when they get well we have another favorite who is less happy than the others. and with that you will hear little girl my

beauty let's take a pill here's a good girl well done so here we go. we now have sixty five cats at the hermitage that can sometimes reach eighty five there were times when we had one hundred twenty cats of course we try to make sure the number of the animals stays within a certain limit seven to is the maximum we can afford it. but if there is more there will be trouble. cat so selfish they like their own territory. and we don't have mice atoll we have so many cats that the month is just don't show up here there was a time when the cats were removed from the museum i don't know what happened but in a month we lost half the library because rats ate everything they don't care much for the value of an exhibit even if it's

a million dollars they'll still finish it off i know i have a cat at home and i'm starting to look a bit like a cat. i can now like a cat and my like a cat. my cat and it was good he does it like this. she's my childhood fairy tale and when my parents would take me with you your gear and forget which century it has to feel like you're a historian. but i remember when i was a child i always wanted to walk around and i strive with courage to where i had of course it was my dream to play a part in all that is to help somehow to gain access to the archives. this is a very important event both for visitors and volunteers we've been preparing for it all year it's an incredibly exciting celebration for the kids.

that's the chili the game begins here this is the story today we're fishing and this is a map of the hermitage to help you find your way around this is where it begins and this is a clue that you need to get to where you need to go up close look at this is a quiz that needs to be answered if you get the answer to the question right you go to our person in a room and then you get another flier and go to another room it's a good point of that was you need to pay attention to these kids here. just here you go. of course many of my friends my parents at first asked me why i said because i like it it's my hobby for quite a long time mom couldn't get used to me leaving early for the hermitage and coming home late now she's used to it the families gotten used to it yeah she said the hermitage she's at home there and you can drag her out of there. you know usually come to the museum before opening time and doesn't leave until god closes the main

entrance on the tenth anniversary of the volunteer service friends jokes that they should give you a man or a car but then she'd be able to spend the night there was well. i like it maybe i would have been a housewife maybe i read a book maybe watching t.v. but it's not that interesting it's boring i have bored very quickly so i came here first of all it's a museum there's always something interesting happening here there are children today is the hermitage cat day and the day involves a game we catch big fish and small fish so that is the. just to find stories devoted to cats and fish. we've set up a few checkpoints in the hermitage with volunteers post about them and that's where you see the guys all of them taking part in the quest they find the right picture the right story or piece of art the chance of the questions and then move along the route that. you found

a fish you found one so go on read that question see life two large fish glittering with scales it sits on a low table the third one at the feet of the boy who is holding a bowl of succulent fruit and a basket of cream the bouyeri presents one of the summer months. to put down next question. next question. your answer. was alan. nugent i don't like the way children's health i am helping them nice to have in fine you guessed. that's very very funny. seeing that because. here. we have infested in a cave and i. get that it seems like

a great game it's really getting teligent because they have set identified back to it's not spec and they're all getting it it's obvious and out and i think they at i find interesting is laughing at them with my head. as if that's what i'm so this year's reward for all the participants was a trip to the theater. performance was staged for them because. i. did not. a few years ago a portuguese writer worked with the children here in the same way he had decided to write a book about russia and came to work and. back then volunteers were often bankers

who'd gone bust in the crisis children of people who worked in world famous museums . whose father is the news director. he didn't mention who he was a where he was from like everyone else he helped everywhere. to the conference's he helped with evening events he helped if we had to meet guests or something he helped the department carry boxes folders and he always worked with us here he also taught french here in the department to anyone who wanted. along with everyone else student visitors questions and sometimes the most unexpected questions. some people think that they're at the russian museum and when they're told at the moment they're very surprised with where's the russian art where's the dip and they say you know one time for example a young man came up looking around the room asked where he was he was told you were

in a museum. then he was still surprised he second question was but which one exactly did this chinese tourists are an interesting but i've never found anything that they find particularly interesting. paintings hanging on the poles as just a corrections the same with floors and ceilings i even heard of one group of chinese tourists who turned down a trip to the hermitage because they said they'd already been to the over so they already knew what a music. he was like this. in america everyone always talks about the home the ties. the collection of old renaissance art that's the most famous stuff that gets talked about america and i of course want to see it and i also in america i study history and reading about.

the revolution that was the same petersburg and that all the stuff that happened here through history and i got to see that all my first day here and i've seen that many many times in the north and. one of raymond's dreams is to join an expedition with just from the british over the summer museum staff conduct excavations in russia's regions and inflate everyone to take part. this is our expedition we've been doing it for fifteen years now last year we celebrated its fiftieth anniversary and i have to say that many monuments have been discovered over those fifty years of excavation but we can still see that even more sites remain unknown usually archaeology department i've done translating work about different. archaeological excavations that people have done but signed the researchers have done and also i was doing

some translating on renaissance art that's definitely been the most rewarding work because it's been interesting and it also helped me practice russians. department is for many volunteers one of the most interesting places in the museum. you can literally touch history. for these ancient objects which are from. different things that they found and i need to document this way. to help. and you have to be very precise been doing these drawings it's not like normal and touring where you might miss out some things hey you need to every every mark is important for the iris. leaving to be and to be behind with. the hermitage and to see the. good part of the field of this research. which i would have

no idea that there were so many cells themselves of all these different i. think most people wouldn't even. know about what was going on behind. sometimes thank the volunteers by giving them free tours for example a tour is a new storage facility in the old village region. that was stored in the museum was once moved there there's a million items. alone just being attentive that is russia's interest catherine the second the ultimate emperor. so it's on certainly list. there was a visit by the turkish ambassador to st petersburg with diplomatic guess and one of those gifts is this tent it's all around us it's like we're inside the museum exhibit. this is i mean a fifth of it the rest is still rolled up and stored away the tent is way to launch because it covers about a hundred square meters. along with

a new storage facility. will soon be offering the museum of modern art. this building is the left wing of the general headquarters built by karl rossi in the early nineteenth century before the revolution and the ministry of finance and the ministry of foreign affairs were here next year this grand reconstruction will end and will have one of the largest contemporary art museums. of the world in one of the two courtyards which have been rebuilt so far we can already see one of the first exhibits of the it's an installation created by the already famous russian artist. who. they created this immediately after the collapse of the soviet union. members

installation. it represents the emergence and growth of the soviet union and its collapse as it. did it actually yes this isn't just a dead body left behind it's part of the installation. we lived through constant construction during communism was sold therefore this part probably just represents the continuing construction there are still many things they haven't seen the herrmann towers but i think one day they'll catch up and join in other events. last made me want to pass something new look and thank god i did that i glued this bill says for example the way you painted over that crack all that there it's this is all mine was a red thang if you pass by you see it and realize place you have something to do with that asphalt you know also part of history part of the museum part of his x.

abouts. is now also and tear it down but i wish i knew elena its new employee up to six years of selfless support to the museum she's been also the joy. but even so elena still volunteers at the end of her working day she hurries to meet the visitors with a smile. the
