so it was the perfect place to kick off our trip. than is the capital of the republic of tatarstan the city's historic site spawning back centuries of very modern metropolis and this innovation friendly environment makes it the ideal place to start so. on our first evening in the city we were met by a pair of young intrapreneur as keen to give us a demonstration of their road. as well as providing all the features of a traditional dash cam the op also uses computer vision technology to identify road signs and display them on screen it's also remembers the speed limits of the road you on and politely remind you if you gets a bit heavy on the accelerator the following day we went to i.t.v. parked right in the hearts of cars on this business district builds in two thousand and nine with the sole purpose of boosting bushes i can see industry the parks business incubator is a hive of activity it provides all the infrastructure and support necessary to help putting business men and women in the idea it's

a fully fledged company so it was the perfect venue for the bush and starts approach shows stopping because the abends organized in parts by skolkovo will pass through twenty seven cities by april this year giving unsocial of around three thousand stocks hopes the chance to pitch their ideas to about five hundred investors and we arrived just in time to see the guys from bro dog say to the stage . of stalls already pretty crowded with not been dormant in reality software offering functions ranging from turn by turn navigation voice and text charts overlays and geo targeted advertising the only problem is none of them awful all of these features are wants and this is where it's going to dominate them all not only will the op combine all these functions but future updates will introduce a are not the geisha advertising and instantly all dated maps for the first time.

currently our competitors are updating their maps manually therefore delays are inevitable they can take from a couple of months to half a year we expect our maps to be updated every day or two at the initial stage while our user base is relatively small but once we have the same number of users as our competitors will start updating the maps within one or two hours of the change offering the drivers latest information the road on developers are conveniently based its high tea party in their office upstairs they monies to write the complex recognition algorithms capable of running on smartphones in just three and a half months but it's not just a labor of love the op will be available for free in around a month push the developers plan to commercialize the data they collect as well as work with insurance companies to lower driver premiums with such potential it's no surprise they were voted one of the three witnesses at the end of the day but downstairs the event was still in full swing with start ups taken it in turns to try and impress the jury it was pretty tense so we took

a breather and cultivate the v.i.p. with a very personal interest in the event. and i'm also an angel investor by myself and i have told everybody to be more credible with the story that i invested last year to seven or start ups and russia and all of those are from the regions so do i think do i believe on the regions then i guess so if i put my own dollars from real speaker has already received no small amount of investment it's allows writers bloggers all the downright bone idle to enter text into a computer by simply dictates in it the application currently supports thirteen languages ranging from english and spanish to check in chinese so i wondered how it would fare of mine north and why we are the south of n.z. . full stop i didn't see the. full stop. each night stuff everywhere if you say it will stop so hopefully it will make it easier for me to write scripts for technology updates

full stop. real speaker uses a microphone webcam and internet connection it's much is the audio input from the microphone with the speakers lip movements from the webcam all this information is sent over the internet to the server is then processed in real time and sent back to the user as text. the project is relatively well known in russia the total funds we've raised around four hundred thousand u.s. dollars we have investments both from the foundations and private investors the company is a resident of the. skolkovo innovation center the company is also registered in the united states and we've already applied for u.s. patent and right now are looking for a strategic investor to help us turn a promising technology into a commercially successful product. unique jewel channel system for the accuracy of speech recognition as well as helping abby to write is the technology may be used

to control domestic appliances in the home of the future. because he's already one of the country's innovation leaders but if he's going to stay there he's going to need a constant supply of young talent so the next stop of our trip we went to one of many universities to meet some of the city's future innovators. in something like. national research technological university can trace its roots back to eight hundred ninety. one of the. universities in the country with over twenty six thousand students studying here it's also the largest technical university in russia one of the strengths of biochemistry. inspired by a speech made from carrots extracts must to students. has developed a unique starch based formula for making biodegradable carrier bags in containers.

only sacrifices five percent of the. and the materials. won't attract dust during the manufacturing process as well as solving the scourge of plastic bags worldwide the technology might also pave the way for edible wrappers and containers the formula can also be adjusted to prolong will shorten the decomposition time from a matter of seconds to a couple of months. down the corridor we came across another eco friendly technology. phosphates nitrate and other unsavory substances are commonly found in detergents and fertilizers they destroy the natural balance of aquatic ecosystems also make their way into water so finding a way of removing them effectively and cheaply is of utmost importance here in the industrial technology department testing a new product to remove phosphates and other pollutants from waste water the product. and it's produced by an austrian company based on russian technology like all the products on the market because it's impurities to precipitate to the bottom

for removal however unlike the rest no fog works in record time and can be used in conjunction with the microorganisms known as active sludge the technology has huge potential for such a small bottle. hired a certain rate this is the act of sludge separates from nutritious waste water. which naturally speeds up the entire wastewater treatment process increasing the production rate of the waste water treatment facilities which is one of the advantages of this product. bio cut it is based on nano flock but customized for the russian markets it's improved sedimentation rate of biosolids reduces the energy required during bio purification by twenty percent but it still has to pass through many other stages before being returned to the environment water first flows through a metal grate through me and any debris is then filtered to remove sun solidified the chemical agent is added to the water in the first storage tank is then treated

with microorganisms creating sludge which also needs to. removed bio cut can be added directly to the active sludge reducing the number treatment stages. of the well known professor and member of the academy of natural sciences professor gruber conducted the research it was he who invented nano magnetite. in two thousand and seven a professor sued during the design to technology for producing it on an industrial scale. and then in two thousand and nine two thousand and ten mr krueger who's the head of our company in austria came up with a way to work nano magnetite into polymer elements. they're all magnetic nano particles in bio are attracted to the surface of the phosphates in the water causing them to stick together and sink in a process known as flocculation the unique ratio of ingredients and now technology means that bio cut works two to three times faster than anything else on the market

. of course we intend to set up a production facility in russia this will be much more efficient because currently we have to take the magnetite outside russia incorporated into poly was abroad and then bring it back here which is naturally quite costly. as the world's population grows so just a month for freshwater and flocculation plays an important part in meeting the man and the next time you have a glass of water it might be best not to think about where it came from. what it is everything when building craft and composite materials often beatable strength to weight ratio with using them requires a completely new manufacturing process and the similarities with baking uncle me. check with tight restrictions on emissions and more people flying than ever before aircraft manufacturers are being forced to lose some weight never want to get left behind bushes and missed twenty one could be the fourth plane in the world with almost entirely carbon fiber or black wings when it takes to the air. two thousand

and fifteen. couple compazine in cassandra was only open six months ago i'm tired because you may have guessed from the name it's money fighters compas it's components for the aviation industry it's already produces compas it's been passed by the sukhoi superjet and is getting ready to launch production of parts for the m s twenty one. passenger plane complex piece of kit main parts include leading edge flaps brakes spoilers. and trailing edge flaps originally made from a mini m the number of components made from compass its vary from model to model but he's always on the if we're talking about twenty one all these parts will be made from compass it's aerials but in addition the wing skins and will also be made to create a black wing. well if we're talking about the situation today the proportion

of compass at materials is something in the order of twelve percent for all planes . as for planes like the super jet but for the m s twenty one which will have a cold as it weighing the ratio will be a lot higher of course. each wing plane components starts off life on a roll of president impregnated cloth prepared like many the prepaid must be stored in a cool dry place to prevent it from going off when the time comes each layer of the components is cooked told by the automated pulses razor sharp knife a bit like cutting shapes also. some parts contain up to thirty layers of prepared so that each stamped with a unique id to make sure they don't get mixed up. the protective film is removed to reveal the black carbon fiber below once every two or three layers have been put down there put in a vacuum bank to remove any stray pockets of air and as with any kitchen hygiene is

king. any small bit of fluff which may seem insignificant in our daily lives becomes very significant in our line of work because if for example small strand of hair accidentally fell into one of the parts that could change its characteristics. this sealed process then ready to go into the oven to kill the giants also play keeps the components to one hundred eighty degrees c. the temperature rises a couple of degrees a minute to ensure that no cracks appear in the final product just like a conventional oven the autoclave is fun assisted to distribute the heat evenly however unlike the domestic appliance vacuum pipes at such to each component to squeeze out any excess resin which is so by the felts layer on top of the pressure inside the autoclave features three to eight kilograms per cubic centimeter forcing out any remaining edge between the layers the whole process is carefully controlled

and monitored and up to eight to sixteen hours the wing positon to perfection. unfortunately we couldn't wait that's long so here's one we made earlier. we're going to got to get them we're doing he wouldn't today we use imported materials to produce parts of liberty but at some time in the future we'll have to switch to russian materials. is doing a very important job in my opinion as far as i can tell they're doing it very well judging by the results of our work together with. the materials and samples of the final product tested its. head office in moscow these samples were prepared according to the exact same recipe unfitness as the ones used in the one hundred brings their first impact tested under much higher spirits under normal operating conditions the sample is then scans with ultrasound to assess the. internal

structure. the. test its destruction to see the. take in the highly unlikely events the cracks flight after all the proof of the pudding is in the. hopes that one day we're going to use russian materials. because i think all future depends on this. we like working with the materials because we get to work not just with some test equipment but we work with real equipment used to produce real parts of the finished product. custom frames which have been tailored to each part leaving no space for human error and this is well. he's already producing parts for a jeep and has his eyes on the wider international market. thanks to its

black wings and this twenty one promises to become the most aerodynamic plane in the world when it's the skies. that's just the end of the first half. after the break. transit route. you'll best way to the heart of mosco and russia at least being gay is not criminalised there are absolutely no punishment for being gay in russia

the only thing that these laws for is spreading information families are mission on nontraditional sexual behavior what are you going to legislate against couples if you swing you know who. you know trade partners or is it only as certain and type of sex that you're legally able to you know it is so wide web is propaganda you know it's so i can clear. the interview. a feel good.

going to extremes all across europe right wing and the e.u. parties and groups are gaining strength and in some cases respectability what accounts for this hard economic times are the growing alienation and frustration with the euro project could it be said the new right is really the old right but wearing a nice suit. and .

welcome by twats tossed on special. economic zone is located right in the hearts of western russia it was only set up eighty years ago but it's already become the biggest and most successful in the country is wide range of incentives an ideal location when that many of the world's industrial heavyweights of concerts own and sets up shop. local point. into the distance as far as the eye can see the scale of a law book is hard to grasp is contain a seminal hundreds around forty thousand containers a year the whole site's code is a massive twenty square kilometers and there are plans to double this by two thousand and sixteen thirty seven companies of states their claims was a total of three billion dollars on the signs and nine already open burning the ultimate build industries one of the lobbies key directions and we made a house call on one of the residents and said set and misspent designs and produces exhaust systems for russian and c.i.s. tamani five trips the company only became

a resident of the special economic zone fairly recently investing one hundred sixty three million dollars in this facility. one of the company's main products is this sizable exhaust system fifty years old on petrol commas lorry engines and the company has come a long way from its money sweetening is almost twenty years ago. it stopped off in ninety five when two engineers develops an improved exhaust for the zil fyfield once it was officially founded three years later becoming the official supply for the conflict you said it's open disclosed much in two thousand and two in two thousand and five it became the main stripe of a sense of a dedicated production facility for thomas in two thousand and ten the company became president of a law in two thousand and twelve. we designed this system together with the engine manufacturer the engine and the exhaust gasses to one unit if this unit works well we'll be able to meet your zero four and zero five standards. the factory currently

occupies an area five thousand meters squared all the machinery and set and this has facility has been custom designed and made to meet a specific requirements once the consulate becomes its has been installed the external casing is welded includes to make it at site the company makes extensive use of robots to ensure consistently high quality it's also means they can produce a car exhaust in this little is four minutes. noise is a key factor that needs to be taken into consideration when meeting bureau for fire standards on the exhaust systems at chutes and set set and this has head office in moscow. computer simulations show the path of the airflow inside the exhaust and the frequencies of the sound for joost engine is then used as information such as just the size and the shape of the device accordingly and one of the main challenges is to optimize the speed and pressure off the exits in the

consulate to. the main trick in designing the sound of a car exhaust is to find chewing the output so that the high frequencies are muffled as much as possible within the output spectrum that will give you a relatively simple and efficient set up. and said that and that can produce a. around three hundred thousand exhausts and one hundred forty thousand catalytic converters and yeah there are grand plans for expanding the company's sites in a lot because three fold and opening a high tech r. and d. sense of what's in the meantime one look at drive will have this exhaust system for the technology opaque seal of approval not only is located just forty kilometers down the road from. the city is based around commerce which is best known for its record number of wins in the dakar rally with a truck manufacturer producing well over fifty thousand h.g.v. easy yeah it's easy to overlook some of the smaller five trees which are also specialists in their own right. frames over broad. based in the

calmest ponds impulse is testament to navigation that shelly's beckett station as an ultimate power house named after the explores of old there's no way the company's biking all terrain vehicle tonto. on the roads of vehicles one hundred forty six cases pellets to twenty months to a respectable ninety kilometers an hour but what's it like to speed on the road it's more that makes old fall off road. the vikings jumbo wheels provide performance on the kawi trucks which we don't churning up the terrain below. the big oil has been over ten days in the making during which time the developers money to plan for everything possible the bench while it sit. down with although we live in a northern country we have no idea that there are thirty seven different types of snow and now we do there are four or five types of snow that are impossible for any vehicle to drive across people including snowmobiles and even reindeer get stuck

that is why we used ultra low pressure tires on our vehicle to enable it to traverse this kind of snow. we can also increase the vehicles ground clearance from thirty to fifty five centimeters by raising the suspension you can roll back a bit and then move forward pushed. your way through the snow and onto your destination you go. to. the question of vikings tires can also be lowered and raised from within the caliph the lower the pressure to launch the footprints the most critical has the vikings extremely low sense of gravity also makes it difficult to follow even the steepest of slopes. like getting thrown around in the box there's no way of what sets i drive and the us of all the forms yes most of the us can i have a go of course. listening

essential driving position driving the bike he was like any other big cold feet i felt confident enough to open a little bit and see what she could do as he glided absolutely across the snow it was easy to get through on a frozen river weapons while they knew all of us who grew up off the might be we're looking into making the vehicle transportable by helicopter with an external slink away so that it can be inserted or evacuated by air so instead of driving the vehicle some five thousand kilometers or so to its operational location you can just bring it over with a helicopter and get to work with what you know it's full of functions have been assembled by him so far that currently being used in st petersburg the found north and by the emergency services the company plans to make twenty five vehicles this year it's perfect for the manufacturing process and shift to mass production by two thousand and fifteen making between one hundred and one hundred fifty a.t.v. easy to get on just like his ancestors the viking is no land low but it's also

a fully i'm phoebe a spiritual music in your pool what rescue services asked us to develop a vehicle could pass through water that's full of debris the kind that you have to deal with if you have to move around in an area devastated by a flood. so we contacted some people in the shipbuilding industry and had a four bladed propeller with a one hundred twenty percent overlap designed especially for us it is essentially a screw. ups on impulse is still testing and improving the bike nice design it's also working on a six wheeled version and custom models for the various emergency services the founders of the company cut their teeth working for commas and even including national champion the vikings custom compass if the fella spins a four thousand rpm to me it's a maximum speed of fifteen kilometers an hour also. the funking centrally mounted

engine and points construction make it the seen with the as any longship it's also the only off road on p.b.s. vehicle in the world this completely both legal notice but for a small fight tree from an opposition. to an end we were keen to get something to remember our trip by so just before heading back to moscow we took some time out to stop some of the sites. which. we had to buy some high tea talking to get a hunk from some of the president's. funds from me specializes in making video gifts for friends family and business especially occasion whether it's be a wedding day take a trip. used to simply send in their photos choose from one of the many templates on the phone from you guys to the rest with a little help from adobe after effects they hope to also make the service in the near future but it's already least some pretty weird and wonderful clips.

naturally i chose the below my template was the guys to put the tech up spin on it and i think you'll agree it's turned out quite well but i'll leave you to watch it in peace until next time enjoy the ride. let. silas ok. cool writes. the. lives. of young girls

cam all for the future harder. between two and three hundred million guns united states so you can act like they're not here and keep kids away from them. the positive is they learn you know i mean this teaches them a lot of rope sponsibility and simply come to pay through the eyes of children if we can't do it for our children move for our future what is the country will save. right from the street. first street. and i think picture. on a reporter's twitter. instagram. b

m m. on. i am.

hello yet again it's no exactly ten pm here in sochi of what is the last day of the twenty second winter olympic games and the closing ceremonies underway right over my shoulder there with a healthy mix of grandeur and humor we can bring it to you because of those pesky limpid copyright rules but we can tell you that the one ring that didn't open during the opening ceremony well it was still struggling to do so as well intentionally though this time with the closing ceremony it seems like the organizers wanted a poke a bit of fun of themselves in the ceremony the view is calling simply stunning hope that's painted a picture for here i want to live picture has been anyway so rich new records but also broken dreams and all that motion that we've learned to love and cherish in the games and the memories will stay with us for years of course congratulations as well this.
