months in every year for the rest of the time the people are completely cut off from the outside while. 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. were there sort of put us. through. your records you were working for years to the door opener with which to move the world as bruce hopes that opens.

but the. conditions here are truly unique human the average temperature in december and january falls below 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 ation it can take a whole months for a body to adapt. it to hear food you know of the. water by losing it was approved if the person you're with to be. better suited you. richelle so the soviet union at that time went to one station because it was the further fall the place from the coast from anywhere in the guide was the most challenging place i mean the way the soviet union. wanted to show how good they

where the hunting very extreme conditions so the felt was more important to gore won than scientific one now is different this iteration is very much driven by science. 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 meters thick layer of ice. to wait for you all when you push to go to go because i want to go. with the nation i don't know what that. even as i do with a board of credibility because when you and i don't know will be going to think i'm a little bit of both and. that they were and then they were the other so interesting up are you going to go from there when. the course.

was one of the biggest geographical discoveries in the 2nd half of the 20th century scientists had long suspected that there was 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 cooper the birth of the british it's a lot but i'm pleased to be on as a short bullet in the social and delicious to of the. the late 20th century saw the 1st attempts to reach the lake by drilling through the kilometers of ice that concealed this unique body of water. down to us took it that it was here to look and sure it's a little bit more through 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 truest studies of the past try men in and out to their ice cores being drilled there about 10 centimeters in diameter and up to 3 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 didn't 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 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 only men. whose method is what to 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 sort of been put there so the shop folks need to get a chair to look them up on what we've got with him and stop with where you were that you. well the reporter got that e-mail. because they took a rebirth wish they were at any of those 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 a change in only 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 change 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 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 sarees to climatic calamity after all these are the questions paleontologists are trying to answer here in antarctica. who is google. who broke. the poor throats apparently thought. refuse to believe. that he didn't go through. this to talk.

to the. researchers from every country represented in antarctica purely scientific objectives 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 i would do this 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 of the absolute beauty that these tensions do not matter in 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. and walk together. like. polar explorers abide by the rules agreed 60 years ago the only legal activity in respect of antarctica and its inhabitants is research.

into. more who are. overcall the 3rd walkable from posting. in truth the native inhabitants aren't always happy about the attention.

nuclear become a battleground in the u.s. in vermont people have demanding the shutdown of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because it's

a very dangerous oh no care power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limits this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is or powerline with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways though a struggle. for . same wrong. when old rules just don't hold. any new role that is yet to shape out does they become advocates and engagement equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground. 2 thank you. 2

for both the beautiful look awfully good as you look to be lamely going with the popular among others for money kill bill is for. you wouldn't you cook with the quick response. this goes i'm talking about the piece that you think of you studied so you thought i could play with it. like you should might i want to. see what are the things i'm not those are the worst for you were all. you can use me at the f.b.i. . give them. your quarters up on the coke with your safety. along with a deal when you. try to show that. i mean up on. your show. by michael yeah by the else and i have a copy and you still talks about the myth of statistics book yeah but clearly state

themselves what much of this is not something that's because. in the real yes seems because nobody's up. to you have only thought was suicidal in the country doing the killing with a solution could honestly persuade you well. yeah i will. give him a little party. all. rap bunch of sway marcum i mean them in your group still you're with us i'm a. warship no more the ocean bush the with a little ways to go we're going to then have been given was low because the good news it is that the. book a woman. with a few more years will burn with us about the issue which should fold.

but no way to go with this thought. but with. what you should try if you wish to believe you believe that one time t.v. with the above video to lead the world. i mean it is an amazing amazing place and i think you should be prepared to go and go there and feel your place in the investee suddenly feel very small. how do you cope with such an enormous overload politicians come to the rescue. but i still feel that. when we're going to see who is going to.

need to do. silver balls and one of these. mid winter probably brings the biggest holiday to antarctica. everyone celebrates no matter which country they're from. the mid winter 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. the festival 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. we have back in the 2nd category is for films made in just 48 hours

a day 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 camerawork and there's an audience 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. issues 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.

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 and they prepare for a shift change. the burn water can be burned and all glass and scrap metal is collected to be shipped out to the mainland. if. the voices for your. you know. later the scrap metal and glass is loaded into a container and taken to the ship by tractor and helicopter.

yet that. was 6 weeks. ago and more lives that. are loaded with us. chemical materials and. so. it would be much more. piece of the science that. people wanted to show off already this. for instance it would be 14025 kilometer.

every antarctic station every country has similar mile markers it's a symbol a reminder of home and a subtle sign of the state's identity. militia introduced war. got. through with the choice you just try to do you try to tell you don't need to do 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. it

cannot turn political interests to have stations and i think there's economic interest to have tourism and. i think there is it's important to set some limits. but it turns out that signing me and talk to treaty doesn't mean that the countries that ratified it have withdrawn their territorial claims over the continent to nearby areas. some of the claims are enormous. the beauty of the antarctic treaty is the 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 solely in research and scientific progress should ever sing and human brotherhood on this fragile world of ours.

no dairy thinks. we dare to ask. why the pandemic no certainly no borders and just blind to nationalities. as americans we don't observe the we don't have the facts in the whole world beat's to be the chief. judge of. common every

crisis what is the sentence. we can do better we should. everyone is contributing each of our own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges create the response has been masked so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. nuclear power become a battleground in the u.s. in vermont people are demanding the shut down of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no clare power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limit this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it

moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy as powerline with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways our struggle on r.t. . is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being lead so. direct. what is truth what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the

depths. or a maid in the shallows. russia expands its coded vaccine program with the goal of immunizing more than half the population by the end of the year. also this hour a 2nd batch of sputnik 3 arrives in argentina as demand for the russian jobs soars and latin america. and us president elect joe biden packs the state department with obama era veterans something track record opposing it military intervention.
