the swiss scientists travel to the banks of the oldest lake in the world by ultra light. hundred kilos of speeds of up to one hundred seventy kilometers per hour it can fly up to three thousand meters away from such altitudes we can examine the bottom of the lake because of the clear waters cameras fixed to be afraid. just a scientific endeavor but. what winds of fate brought the young scientists to the bike region it all began with a minor research trip. here quite by chance i came up with. the world's oceans there are a lot of organisms that exposed to the light of a certain spectrum range emit light of a different range and i wondered if this was also the case with the lake.

in short discovered luminescent crustaceans in by coles waters. serious research of by cal only began in the seventeenth century before that legends travelled around europe but siberia was home to people with the heads of dogs the first expedition destroyed all those myths this land was inhabited by. peoples like michael was populated with sturgeon white fish and a breed of seal with a photographic memory. this large by cal seal has shot by sight it swims close to the shore examines the area closely and if its familia climbs up onto the stones to somebody. but. changed even a little. getting close to the.

serious threat. constantly. hundred thirty. meters in length but on the whole. piece and. away from their natural habitat. the silence of the siberian. local shamans. and the spirit of by karl itself they pray for health. and good weather.

one of the oldest of the world's faiths. shamans are able to fall into a deep trance which they believe lets them see into the future. realized his calling in a dream but didn't believe it at first. that . in the end i was completely. then one shaman. told me. my brother you have to go through initiation or else you'll die. days i passed the ritual i was in shortly after that i started recovering. in quite

soon. again this is the place where i was initiated. if a shaman like someone he will certainly ask the spirits of bike hell to be favorable to them bringing sunshine and success. on their notice a pattern with. when you arrived at by cal he dreamed of seeing the sun foul weather here handed

scientific experiments the lake has a strong character and its climate is far from otiose it was used to in switzerland . when we first came to lake by cal the weather was awful but it was raining heavily by cal was harsh. we the first impression i had a bike how which is in fact true to this day was the extreme weather. if it weren't for divine intervention the young scientist wouldn't be able to work at bike for several days heavy downpours prevented even to leave his house his research was on the verge of shutting down he might just as well have packed up and headed home. the weather was terrible during our first week here torrential then three llamas came in. for good

weather on the first day it was pouring the second day the weather did improve with . periods surround every month. we call him on. summer. crops there are special rights when we bring him the milk overread cow or white goat and some other gifts. in the region buddhism became especially popular in the eighteenth century when monks from mongolia started settling in the area they set up monasteries and temples the biggest of which is the. people come from all over the worlds to this blessid land to meditate to learn or if they really want something to pray to the

gods. bring different prayers to places emanating buddhist energy. for well being for their family. prosperity and success in their work each ribbon on the trees here signify someone's wish locals believe that wish made here will come true but only on condition that you make. and that you don't ask for too much. after spending a few days of. started taking some of the superstitions seriously each morning he. and in the evening he's thankful for successful work. place. something new here.

not all scientists are as sensitive to local beliefs while conducting studies and by some of them refuse to accept the existence of any supernatural. according to them it contradicts every law of nature. supernatural. in this respect. protection. life is connected with. first of all he was born here he joined the local college and thirty years he's been conducting scientific experiments in the area. baikal is

a region of high seismic activity with earthquakes a common occurrence for five years the scientists research has provided exact forecasts of earthquakes around baikal. in two thousand and eight. separate from a powerful earthquake it was just as strong as the one that destroyed the fukushima nuclear power station in japan which was washed away by huge waves. fortunately here the earthquake couldn't produce such a tsunami because they used too small. and in two thousand and eight days before the earthquake we registered some fundamental changes in the election magnetic field well money to. you that we had never observed before any other case the. only scientific achievements a neutrino detector has been dropped to

a depth of one kilometer into the lake. thanks to the pure clear water of baikal the device is able to detect many mysteries not just on the water but also out in space discoveries of this kind are impossible in salty ocean water. detector is designed to help us explore the history or universe. find out how we began. what is happening to it now. what will happen to it if you can the future. is only possible if you watch the streams. cold neutrinos. with the information of what was there when the universe began.

well if you will show marlon why should he make a new public face i desire to evoke. a pleasure to have you with us here on r t today i'm wrong researcher. i think. we're going to go digital the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because

a free and open process is critical to our democracy albus. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and our crass cynical we've been hijacked why a handful of transnational corporations will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once will just my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem you're trying to rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing are not defined for you ready to join the movement then walk away from the big picture. well. financed technology innovation called the least

a mellow ments from around russia we've got this huge earth covered. wealthy british style stock. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kinds a report. thousands

of years ago the region of lake baikal was flat as legend has it the earth shuddered creating a rift from which flames burst out scorching everything around people begs the gods to stop screaming the words by and meaning fire it stopped the spirit of fire. and as time passed water filled the rift this is only the legend but in reality lake baikal was formed by earthquakes. who viewed the role lot of theories there old the standard process sees. this constantly widening fracture is the result of the movement of to plates or group of. scientists agree that by call ocean in the making because these two tonic plates are important and this is constantly making by call larger and larger.

never as a lake existed for as long as bike hell lakes usually last for no more than fifteen thousand yes after that they simply dry out and that's been the case for millions of years this lake though was formed long before human history began remarkably the water content has undergone almost no changes atoll. has very deep and the water is clear and saturated with oxygen down to the deepest parts. and yet it has never changed. a land of science discoveries and the unique nature seemingly frozen in time at the press and live side by side with the spirits of the past just like the lake itself locals preserve their own mysteries and traditions. treaty. local folklore

legends and rituals with great respect. i'm convinced they are absolutely necessary here these rights hold the date back many more years than many of the scientific research projects oh yeah quote they are saying earlier. i asked. her if her. prayer. mychael extends for six hundred thirty kilometers covering an area the size of some countries like belgium the netherlands. everybody finds a place in the vast area of by kill christians buddhists shamans and old believers of the russian orthodox church they've lived here for more than three hundred years

they cross themselves with two fingers and reject modern orthodoxy. their faith and rituals have remained untouched throughout all the centuries their villages have their own unique design each house has painted in rich some a color as old believe as clothing has always been famous for its brightness and neatness as well as embroidered hats some sort of fence yes we are going to see if a girl wears why green bends it means she's a bride from a wealthy family and her father has prepared everything for her to be beautiful at the wedding. he louis. louis you louis. there are ask her for. her i are strewn all over. who are spears now and what they are no man or.

sherriff ear. to hear if there could. be years. ok. you know. the songs of our ancestors that we seeing are mostly sad because they had a hard life and a little work that autumn we were cari to do and don't have time to lie on this so far there are we in the garden that need pulling out or berries that need peeking and aside from there there is always cleaning to be dying to feel better but i can other. every day old believers thank god for the sun and their health they firmly believe

that places around by color sacred any difficulties can be enjoyed with god's help even the weather. there is a holy mountain nearby on ascension day where the elderly women go there and pray to god to send rain and bless the crops. from time to time scientists will admit that even though they don't believe in spirits they do listen to the local legends. the tradition. helps the. accident. in return for respect be generous. with. the scientist from switzerland.

paid off the weather has improved allowing the scientists to work. on the banks of . the biggest river flowing into by providing around fifty percent of its river water it's a powerful. thing before it gets into the lake. continue working. changed. developing. very important. rich with a constantly circulating from the bottom up that keeps itself clean water can

safely be drunk straight from. here. do you feel the effect that this leak. this unique nature it miss fear has when your emotional state. by cal through its beauty individuality and energy can reconcile science with man's belief in supernatural powers. scientists might look for answers to any question but it doesn't mean that everything will be explained one day. that's a completely different approach towards goals of science differ from those of folklore

. you can't escape these legends like the fisherman who carry out their rituals every time before they leave harbor. the god that needs to be placated we should treat him to a little wine or even if you feel like it drink some yourself. oh there's one. where i've never seen anything like this before. so many in just one that. are just about fifty or sixty you can tell by the way. local fisherman firmly convinced that bike will give a good catch when people treated with respect.

is not only the oldest but it's also the deepest lake in the world with a depth of one thousand six hundred forty two meters. somewhere on the lake bed the treasures of the russian empire. one legend has it that in the times of the civil war in russia at the beginning of the twentieth century the ship carrying the gold reserves of the russian empire sank somewhere in this area. no one has found these treasures yet but still being made to this day. cutting edge technology is used and various maps are examined everything possible is being done to find the sunken gold but no one has been lucky so far by cal continues to play hide and seek with.

popular one we have decided to have a go at it and during that one submersion we had about twelve accidents that we had never had before first the weather was fine in the forecast was good but once we had reached the spot the weather changed and then it turned out that we had somehow lost the directions we had specially printed out and once we had reached the bottom . to top it off when we were rising from the bottom. that was to be. best. and i was damaged more so i understood then that up above we were on the right track to fine in this culture but my call was resolve to keep it that you were the one. you'll see if he isn't too eager to leave but his wife and two young daughters are waiting for him at home so many things are still to be done and so much about bike while still needs to be unraveled. because other people warned me that once i came to lake baikal my life would change completely i would

fall in love with it and would long to come back. i never thought that this place would really affect me so deeply thought of the heriot i spent here has been one of the most interesting and dynamic stages of my life conceiving the fire and i will certainly look for an opportunity to return to lake baikal from movies to the. shifting sands and alliances advances and reversals outside military interventions in stalemate these are among some of the descriptions that apply to the middle east since the start of the arab spring when are we experiencing in this church violent

region the end of the west neo colonial order or merely instability and violence with no end in sight exactly what happened that day i don't know but a woman got killed. years later is when i got arrested for. for a crime i did not do. we have numerous cases where police officers lie about polygraph results. innocent people take interest the police officers don't beat people anymore i mean it just doesn't happen really. in the course of interrogation why because there's been this is like meant no because the psychological techniques are more effective in obtaining confessions than physical abuse and they were off taking they could do what they wanted they could say what they wanted and there was no evidence of what they did or what they said.

if you. got no opportunity. to start to construct your. kids don't want to be in bed give don't want to be gangsters you don't want to be drug dealers they don't want to blow we know the time that a kid came be we can see. you just means a hundred dollars and i hope i was in the hood and what a.k.o. somebody with thirty round clip. about i said. i don't want to die i just really. now i want to die a young young eighty. percent of. the people i want to. make up something that is quite simply

a mess. was no way over. clearly they were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. and sold to the us or turned over to the us for. the soul that could be buried alive. was saved with great effort. and they wanted to turn me into a terrorist so it was with them they wanted me to admit that i was a member of al qaeda the taliban and that i fought with them. not about time i didn't even know what al qaeda is nevertheless there are people. rave enough to start a fight. something is going to be done that's going to be done by me in the span of a short amount of time to do it but it's going to impact me i'd be prosecuted but it's going to impact. the wife my daughter. the one time a trap. on our t.v.
