more than twenty five million years old. is a little over thirty. the swiss scientists travel to the banks of the oldest lake in the world by ultra light. this tiny aircraft weighs less than five hundred kilos of speeds of up to one hundred seventy kilometers per hour it can fly at three thousand meters where from such altitudes you can examine the bottom of the lake because of the clear waters and his four cameras fixed to be afraid. for us if it's not just a scientific endeavor but a personal one. what winds of fate brought the young scientists to the bike. it all began with a minor research trip. here quite by chance i came up with the idea of experiments. in the
7:32 am
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 hell's waters. serious research of by kal only began in the seventeenth century before that legends travelled around europe that siberia was home to people with the heads of dogs the first expedition destroyed all those myths. peoples. populated with. white fish and a breed of seal with a photographic memory. it
7:33 am
swims close to the shore examines the area closely. but if he. changed even a little the seal. getting close to the seal. is serious threat. feels natural habitat is water. constantly. for the young seals. up to one hundred thirty kilos and grow to one and a half metres in length but on the whole. they like peace and calm. away from their natural habitat. the silence of the

7:37 am
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 was torrential then three llamas came and started to recede mantras for good weather on the first day it was pouring second day the weather did improve with. periods surrounded us every mound has its master we call him down. summer and we. ask him to send us rain. 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
7:38 am
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. believers bring different prayers to places emanating buddhist energy women being for their family men want prosperity and success in their work. on the trees here someone's wish locals believe that a wish made here will come true but only on condition that you make your silence and that you don't ask for too much. after spending a few days a bike started taking some of the superstition seriously each morning he. and in the evening he's thankful for successful work. i didn't know what to expect from
7:39 am
this place. something new here. not all scientists are as sensitive to local beliefs well conducting studies and by some of them refused to accept the existence of any supernatural. according to them it contradicts every law of nature. supernatural. it is impossible. to create comfortable atmosphere in this respect. is indeed unique. needs protection. scientific 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 by cal. 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 a huge wave. fortunately here the earthquake couldn't produce such a tsunami. is too small. and in two thousand and eight days before the earthquake we registered some fundamental changes in the election magnetic field. that we had never observed before any other case.
7:41 am
these are only scientific achievements the neutrino detector has been dropped to a depth of one kilometer into the lake. thanks to the 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 you know what will happen to it in the future it. is only possible if you watch the streams of unique particles cold neutrinos. with the information of
7:42 am
what was there when the universe began. told him a language of what i will only react to situations i have read the reports but i'm not in a position to know i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point of the month to say it's mr k.l.a. car is on the docket. no more weasel words. when you vade a direct question be prepared for a change when you throw a punch be ready for a bad. freedom of speech and little down the freedoms of caution.

7:46 am
this lake was formed long before human history began remarkably the water content has undergone almost no changes atoll. is very deep and the water is clear and saturated with oxygen to the deepest parts . never changed. a land of science discoveries and unique nature seemingly frozen in time. the present live side by side with the spirits of the past just like the lake itself preserve their own mysteries and traditions. local folklore legends and rituals with great respect. convinced they are absolutely necessary here. these right date back many more years than many of the
7:47 am

7:50 am
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. we strictly observe the traditions. believe it helps the. accident. in return for respect be generous and the reverence 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
7:51 am
7:52 am
here. this unique nature. has when you emotional states. like health 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 the 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.
7:53 am
god that needs to be placated you 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 the 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
7:54 am
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 the first the weather was fine and the forecast was good but once we had reached the spot the weather changed and then it turned out that we had
7:55 am
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 so i understood then that up above we were on the right track to find in this culture but my call was resolve to keep it that you're with. us 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 by cal still needs to be unraveled. because of 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
7:56 am
dynamic stages of my life to see the fire and i will certainly look for an opportunity to return to lake baikal from movies to go. what you're dealing with here is that you did a few years time but there are children who will just be doing commerce on the internet but electronic media that that's the future if you don't have a safe environment to do that. we're going to face big problems. such as. the people that want to.
7:57 am
take up something that is quite simply a mess. was no way out. clearly they were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. and sold to the us or turned over to the u.s. for. the sole that could be buried alive. was saved with great effort. and they wanted to turn me into a terrorist so it was they wanted me to admit that i was a member of al qaeda the taliban and that i fought with them. not a bad time i didn't even know what al qaeda is nevertheless there are people. brave enough to start a fight. something's going to be done that's going to be done by me and it's been a short amount of time to do it but it's going to impact me i'd be prosecuted but it's not going to impact. the wife my daughter. the one time i'm
7:58 am
a trapped monarchy. exactly what happened there i don't know but a woman i 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. listen people to consent to 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 often they could get what they wanted they can say what they wanted and there was no evidence of what they did or what they said.
