everything that this place all first cook used. 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 time less than five hundred killers a 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. just a scientific endeavor but

a personal one. what winds of fate brought the young scientists to the by calibration it all began with a minor research trip. here quite by chance i came up with the idea of experiments. in 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 bike 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. in habited by. people. like populated with. white fish and a breed of seal with a photographic memory. it swims close to the shore examines the area. but if he. changed even a little the risk getting close to the seal. is a serious threat. feels natural habitat is water. constantly. for the young. one hundred

thirty. one and a half meters in length but on the whole. they like peace and calm. the seals 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 fervently observed by. 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

. health was poor. in the end i was completely. told me. my brother you have to go through. after that. again this is the place. if someone he will certainly ask the spirits of baikal to be favorable to them bringing sunshine and success. we're ruthless literally and cruel

served on them as a parent with little snowy month. when you arrived at by cal he dreamed of seeing the sun foul weather here hinted scientific experiments the lake has a strong character and its climate is far from what he has used to in switzerland. when we first came to lake baikal how the weather was awful it was raining heavily by cal was harsh. he the first impression i had of by cow 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. it was terrible during our first week here was torrential then three llamas came in. for good weather on the first day it was pouring second day the weather did improve with. periods surround every mound. we call him down. and we. ask him to send us rain. props

there are special rights when we bring in 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 women well being for their family men want prosperity and success in their work. 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. started taking some of the superstition seriously each morning he. and in the evening. expect from this place. something new here. scientists are as sensitive to local beliefs 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. in this respect. needs protection. scientific life is connected with. first of all he was born here he joined the local college. 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 is 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 because they too small. and in two thousand and eight days before the earthquake we registered some fundamental changes in the election magnetic field while money touring the lake and you would think that we had never observed before in any other case. only scientific achievements a neutrino detector has been dropped to a depth of one kilometer into the lake. thanks to the pure clear water it by kill 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 you if you can the future. is only possible if you watch the streams of unique particles cold neutrinos. they can provide us with the information of what was there when the universe began. sigrid laboratory jim mccurry was able to build a most sophisticated robot which all unfortunately doesn't give a darn about anything tim's mission to teach creation why it should care about

the. dramas the. stories others refuse to notice. faces changing the world. picture of today. from around the globe. i know c.n.n. the m s n b c news have taken some slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's closer to the truth and might

think. it's because one whole attention and the mainstream media works side by side the joke is actually on here good company. and our teen years we have a different brain. because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not how. you guys talk to the jokes will handle them except that i've got to. the olympic torch is on its journey to such. one hundred twenty three days. through two thousand nine hundred towns and cities of russia. relayed by

fourteen thousand people or sixty five thousand. in a record setting trip by land air sea an outer space. torch relay. on r t r two dot com. thousands of years ago the region of lake baikal was flat as legend has it the earth's shadow creating a rift from which flames burst out scorching everything around people begs the gods to stop screaming the words and meaning fire and stop. the spirit of prayer and as time passed water fills the rift this is only the legend but in reality. quakes. the lot of theories of what their role be tonic 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 a part this is constantly making by call larger and larger but. 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. the lake is very deep and the water is clear and saturated with oxygen to the deepest parts. and yet it has never changed.

a land of science discoveries and the unique nature seemingly frozen in time and michael the present live side by side with the spirits of the past just like the lake itself locals preserve their own mysteries and traditions. local folklore legends and rituals with great respect. convinced they are absolutely necessary here these rights all date back many more years than many of the scientific research projects her year they are a rare learned. my colleague stands 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 bike zero 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 is painted in rich summer colors old believers closing has always been famous for its brightness and neatness as well as embroidered hats and sarah phones yes we are getting the sleeve finger aware as why. it means she's a bride from a wealthy family and her father has prepared everything for her to be beautiful at the wedding. her to share

a eulogy. her. i sure know their. worst fears. were there yeah. yeah. i. shared a beer. x. . years. ok. i knew. the songs of our ancestors that we seeing are mostly sad because they had a hard life and a lot of awards but a lot of we were cari to you and don't have time to lie on the so far there are winds in the garden that need pulling out or berries that need peaking and aside

from that there is always cleaning to be done to feel better but i can other. every day old believers thank god for the sun and their health they firmly believe the places around by color sacred any difficulties can be enjoyed with god's help even the weather. when the theater is a holy mountain nearby on a sentient day elderly women go there and pray to god to send rain and bless the crop. 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 observed the traditions.

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. 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. to 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 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 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 pick us up. and i was damaged most 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 by cal 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 sure. 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 how to feed those.

shifting sands 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 what are we experiencing in this church region the end of the western neo colonial borders or merely instability and violence with no end in sight. on all i want to. make up something that is quite simply a mess. place was no way oh. clearly they were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. and sold to the us or turned over to the us for about 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 but i fought with them. not a bad time i didn't even know what al qaeda is nevertheless there are people. rave enough to start a fight. something's going to be done that's going to be done by me i have a short amount of time to but it's going to impact me i'd be prosecuted but it's not going to impact. the wife or my daughter. the one time a trap. monarchy. come. to news a secret laboratory to mccurry was able to build a new most sophisticated robot which on fortunately doesn't give a darn about anything tunes mission to teach the creation why it should care about humans and world this is why you should care. only on the r.-g.

dot com. exactly what happened that day i don't know but a woman i killed. appears 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 to confess 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.

it was terrible they come along very hard to take out. once again there was a lot that we ever had that was that their number. one. hundred percent of the people.
