so we have a heritage of grain constantly comparing itself to others. for a monkey we just for a bit of it compares itself to others and it seems that it's weaker when it doesn't reach for the banana because it's afraid of getting. that it's stronger saratoga in his release and it goes for it and it feels good so we built patterns when we were young of comparing ourselves to others and making decisions about when feel one hour anyone would feel wind down and it's easy to feel wind down all the time if you're going to need to think out way and then you end up with this chord is all the time and that's the root of depression.

these researches will cover almost 3000 kilometers in trans polar aircraft and they'll stay here until the antarctic summer returns. snow in the very heart of antarctica has one amazing property. when the temperature drops below minus $55.00 it becomes a drive frozen sand if a plane lands on it friction instantly shoots it skis which then refreeze solidly onto the runway. that's why planes can only fly out of a stuck between mid december and early february just 2 months in every year for the rest of the time the people are completely cut off from the outside world.
2:32 am
stocks water supply is drawn from the snow. the station sits more than 3500 meters above sea level that met altitude even the fittest of people time very quickly due to the low oxygen levels. there sort of put us. through. the door will put up with what is a bruise hopes that open. but the. conditions here are truly unique human the average temperature in december and january falls below
2:33 am
minus 30 and in winter minus 80 is par for the course. atmospheric pressure is 40 percent lower than on the mainland and there's less oxygen in the. joint pain and news bleeds all symptoms of a climate as a nation it can take a whole months for a body to adapt. it was approved if. you remember to be. better suited to move. richelle so the soviet union at that time went to watch the station because it was the furthest the farthest place from the coast from anywhere and the guide was the most challenging place i mean the way the soviet union wanted to show how good they were at the hunting very extreme conditions so the felt was more important the core won the scientific one now is different this iteration is very much driven by science.
2:34 am
all of antarctica risk covered by an ice sheet that can be up to 4 kilometers think that's enough to cover the entire planet in a 50 meter think lair of ice. over it or you're on your person going to go because i want to go. with the nation i don't know what. if. i do with a boy that occur to you because when you and i don't know will be going to think i'm a woman with a good. will that they were going to do with all the other so interesting upper and good antonenko can i when i thought of. the cool. lake vostok was one of the biggest geographical discoveries in the 2nd half of the 20th century scientists had long suspected that there was
2:35 am
a lake the size of europe subglacial lake vostok contains water that is millions of years old. but to reach it you have to drill through the so-called atmospheric ice formed by the snow that has fallen in antarctica for millennia. one theory is that the lake formed because the ice sheet above it melted under the pressure of its own weight another is that the one you can't always existed even before antarctica froze over and that the ice sheets simply sealed it in. in a different attitude state is that the said in the can to do with a bit of. south of the of the cuckoo for the birth of the british it's on earth but i'm pleased to be able as i showed the burden of the social and delicious to of the . late 20th century saw the 1st attempts to reach the lake by drilling through the
2:36 am
kilometers of ice that concealed this unique body of water. and has done so as to look at that it was here to look and sure it's in there would be near that this should keep it so that it's to us in of. the borehole was dubbed 5 g. one and drilling began in 1809 serviette french and american members of the joint expedition at the vast uk station all took part. in my work as truly 2 studies of the past climate in the antarctic their ice cores being drilled there about 10 centimeters in diameter and up to 3
2:37 am
kilometers known. researches from various countries drill through the antarctic morning using their unique math. but only at the russian station have drillers managed to reach the ice boundary. and make water where they stopped. apparently there's no way to take water samples from the lake without introducing contaminating microorganisms. so far we have no way of knowing whether there is life in the most ancient water on earth but paleoclimatologists have found material that is just as valuable for their research. is the only archive where you can have similar tain as least stored that temperature history of the earth and similar tain is lead to the same times also the composition of the atmosphere of these times so
2:38 am
we can directly go into the ice and find ot the contents of this atmosphere is specially sealed to. and from this c o 2 measurements we know form from the last 800000 years. with the only. person that that isn't what do. or. you want to do with. studies of this engine dice have yielded serious scientific results we can extract data about the earth's climate hundreds of thousands or even millions of years ago how from tiny bubbles trapped in the ice for millions of years this new group of people by their them showed him and this has been put there so the shock folks need to get
2:39 am
a share to look them up on what we've got with him and stop with with it is. well the snowboarder got that image because they took a rebirth wish they were at any of those i'm a. bit of political 1st there's a push for them at the web. browser for their new. from these studies researches now know that greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and methane have occasionally built up in the atmosphere leading to a warmer climate then hundreds of thousands of years later levels decrease again resulting in ice ages. is to get access to a major change which took place about 1000000 years ago and it's a kind of an enigma we don't really know what happened we expect that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is responsible for this challenge and this is what we want to check how much carbon dioxide was a get a fair a 1000000 years before. so perhaps the global
2:40 am
warming we see today is just a period in the planet's climatic history and people have nothing to do with it for are we excess arista climatic calamity after all these are the questions paleontologists are trying to answer here in antarctica. couple mckillop even the people. who are poor those of us apparently were thought. to believe until they. certainly didn't go through. this to talk. to the. researchers from every country represented in antarctica. scientific objectives
2:41 am
politicians have another goal it's what the cool presents. the quality of presence on the polar continent is a symbol of a nation's capability and strength. the extent to which a country can influence antarctica's future depends on it. the usa australia france germany china japan india chile and other countries have stations in antarctica. more than 50 countries have a presence and they're signatories to the antarctic treaty. so now it is for him. to have. a moment of truth is coming soon the 959 treaty expires in less than 30 years. where that is the beauty the absolute beauty that these tensions do not matter in
2:42 am
the scientific community in trouble maybe because of a medical emergency or because the weather just closes opportunities for science in one area then the cooperation is there to look how can we best help each other attentions do not come into it at all on the grassroots level of doing antarctic research and it is a wonderful example how the international community can come together and how we can overcome other issues and work together. like. polar explorers abide by the rules agreed 60 years ago the only legal activity in respect of antarctica and its inhabitants his research.
2:43 am
2:44 am
54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason for any type of enhanced u.s. military presence in this area russia. what is it suddenly about the south china sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have nuclear weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so that's why we're going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly it's time to do news again.
2:45 am
2:46 am
give them. along with a deal when you. write. me up on. your show of shows just by mughal. by the house and i have a copy and you still talks about the myth of statistics book yeah but coolest it themselves. because. yes seems because open you up. to you have only. thought of him giving him a little party pure all. the . way my family mean they mean i grew it still yet with us i'm
2:47 am
a. warship the more the i should push the with a little way to go with going through then the beginning was low because the roof of his leather bed made the. book a woman here but it will show up a few more years will be the for the issue which should fold. when i had to go with this thought it. fit with. what you should. do it was but would you believe that one time t. do with the above video to be sure. i mean it is it is an amazing
2:48 am
amazing place and i think you should be prepared to go and go there and feel your place in the invest the suddenly feel very small. how do you cope with such an enormous overload politicians come to the rescue. but i still feel. when we're going to. need to do. so. midwinter probably brings the biggest holiday to antarctica. everyone
2:49 am
celebrates no matter which country they're from. the midwinter. celebrations mean that half of the season has passed and every day takes you closer to going out. the americans have a reputation for coming up with fun ideas and they've decided that everyone must celebrate mid winter to get the more i'm area. in target take when your film festival or the. antarctic film festival is drawing near. for the 1st weekend of august at the american mcmurdo station mcmurdo is the largest station in antarctica it's a small town with a population of almost $1500.00. festival
2:50 am
consists of 2 parts 1st the open category entrance upload damage to films of any genre about any topic the only restriction is on duration it can be no longer than 5 minutes why just 5 because a common antarctic problem has a low speed connection. back in the 2nd category is for films made in just 48 hours on friday festival organizers announced the rules on monday all participants upload their entries which are shown to the entire population of mcmurdo and the jewelry delivers its verdict the winners are announced in several nominations just like all good movie festivals best film best actor best writer best camera work and there's an audience
2:51 am
award. all of antarctica's inhabitants abide by laws some of the feathered and aquatic varieties abide by the antarctic laws of nature others by the provisions of the antarctic treaty. under the antarctic treaty. by mental pressure. adopted in the early 1900 and part of that the whole protocol is about how we under the treaty are going to manage the environment better things about mineral exploitation. special interest.
2:52 am
the rules governing antarctic life specifically states that any country exploring the continent must leave only pristine land behind them that's what explorers do every year when a large ship arrives for a shift change. can be burned lost some scrap metal is collected to be shipped out to the mainland.

real issue introduced was her. job with the choice to clear the judge but returning to trying to tell you don't need to know what you did. for now the harsh climate hinders colonization in antarctica but in the future if it warms this southernmost continent really could be settled. we cannot turn to political interests to have stations and i think there's economic interest to have tourism and. i think it's important to set some limits. but it turns out that signing the antarctic treaty doesn't mean that the countries that ratified it have withdrawn their territorial claims over the continent to
2:56 am
nearby areas. some of the claims are enormous. the beauty of the antarctic treaty is the oil nations who have made those territorial claims put them aside completely and as you know some of the territorial claims are overlapping but all of that is put aside entirely because the continent is dedicated to scientific research. it will be a real shame if the antarctic values imbedded in that treaty of a perfect community of free citizens in gauged solian research and scientific progress should ever sink into oblivion this should be a place for true freedom equality and human brotherhood on this fragile world of ours.
2:58 am
your songs that i also write about. all of us for new take interest producer. who's goes a long way to cerberus to mia each still. a knowing that desires you know hospital will. be transported lisa's right james overinflation and then a miracle in the sexes right there that means that. she loved this prison for 44 years. in minutes sure you guys she was a konami should. we eat it was easy. she told him the drugs to be. the human being are they going to let you think. that i know i do it almost black thing it might look others are getting me out of this. meeting they say and result in your knees i am. the only reason won't i know be someone's we never know
2:59 am
when you know them you don't. like this. so we have inherited a brain and was constantly comparing itself to others. for a monkey just for a bit of food it compares itself to others and if it seems that it's weaker then it doesn't reach for the banana because it's afraid of getting it sees that it's stronger sara tone is released and it goes for it and it feels good so we build patterns when we're young of comparing ourselves to others and making decisions about when we feel one are any one we feel one down and it's easy to feel one down all the time if you're needed to think that way and then you end up with these orders all the time and that's the end of the depression.
3:00 am
oh. so this is a 5th day of violent protests over the government's decision to reimpose the curfew . in the story. the world health organization says the corona virus can remain suspended in the indoor once it comes off the scientists also warn that people are no longer taking the virus seriously as meltdowns. and. i. mean this is sparks outrage from women's rights groups one of the men.
