skis which then refreeze solidly onto the runway. that's why planes can only fly between mid december and early february just 2 months in every year for the rest of the time that 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 that altitude even the fittest of people time have very quickly due to the low oxygen levels.
8:31 pm
are there sort of put us. through spirit never graduate or work. do better with the mood one of the birds hopes they open. 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 part of the coals. atmospheric pressure is 40 percent lower than on the mainland and there's less oxygen in the. joint pain and nosebleeds all symptoms of a climate as ation it can take a whole months for a body to adapt. by losing records if. you remember to be at work or to other cities it wolf.

also the soviet union at that time went to watch stock station because it was the father sed place from the coast from anywhere in the guide it was the most challenging place and in a way the soviet union wanted to show how good they where 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. 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 metre think clarifies. the weight of your own when you push that going to go because i want to. go with the dish and i don't know that the would even know what to do with the boys or credibility because. the normal bully think i'm a little bit wealthy and. that they were and then they were the other so interesting
8:33 pm
to me a good example new coke and then when the core of. the core. stock was one of the biggest geographical discoveries in the 2nd half of the 20th century scientists had long suspected that there was a link 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 naked always existed even before
8:34 pm
antarctica froze over and that the ice sheets simply sealed it in. in a different attitude state is that the said in the end of the can to do with a bit of. south of the other could do for the earth as the british it's all good for them because debian is a short 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 kilometers of ice that concealed this unique body of water. and has done so stoke that it will certainly go concerts and there will be more through this should keep it so that it's to us and of. the borehole was dubbed 5 g. one and drilling began in 1909 serviette french and american members of the joint
8:35 pm
expedition at the bus station all took part. in my work as related to studies of the past climate in the antarctic their ice cores being drilled they're about 10 centimeters in diameter and up to 3 kilometers known. researches from various countries drill through the antarctic more using their unique mess. but only at the russian station have drillers managed to reach the ice boundary. and then make water where they stopped. apparently there's no way to take water samples from the lake without introducing contaminating microorganisms.
8:36 pm
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 taney 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 out 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 isn't what do. or.
8:37 pm
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 now from tiny bubbles trapped in the ice for millions of years. this new property will by the episode even be spent on the put it so the short folks the job is to put out a shirt that will promote on what we've got with a monster place where. was the reporter covering those who didn't because they can both wish there were plenty of them occurred but oh shit of political 1st there's a push for them at the would you stand at the bridge with 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
8:38 pm
resulting in ice ages. it's to get access to a major. 1000000 year. 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 1000000 year 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 or ease to climatic calamity after all these are the questions paleo ontology just trying to answer here in antarctica. the poor.
8:39 pm
people go through. who. researches from every country represented in antarctica. scientific objectives politicians have another goal it's what they call presence. the quality of presence on the polar continent as 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 and germany china japan india chile and other countries have stations in antarctica in all more than 50 countries have
8:40 pm
a presence and they're. signatories to the antarctic treaty. i would do this for him. just. a moment of truth is coming soon the 959 treaty expires in less than 30 years. when and 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 corporation is there to look how can we best help each other attentions do not come into it on the grassroots level of doing and talk to research and it is a wonderful example how the international community can come together and how we can overcome the issues and work together.
8:41 pm
polar explorers abide by rules agreed 60 years ago the only legal activity in respect of antarctica and its inhabitants his research. problem is. looking. into good someone who has more. sympathy for people. in truth the native inhabitants aren't always happy about the attention. max keiser or more of my guide to financial survival this. is a device used by professional galley way to earn money. that's right these has
8:42 pm
flaws are simply not accountable and we're just adding more and more to the. totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get in for hazard. nuclear become a battleground in the us. people of demanding the shut down of a local plant from yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no claire 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 your power line with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways a struggle. seemed
8:43 pm
8:44 pm
for both the beautiful partially good as you look to dealing with them by putting one whose money kill bill is for. you with much of. this goes i'm talking about the piece that you think of you so you. might want to. see what the from the others are. looking at that appeared. to be serious give them. along through the deal when you. write. me up on. your show just by mughal yeah by the house and i have a copy and you still want the myth of statistics book yeah but coolest it
8:45 pm
themselves. in your seems because open you up. people who you had on with. yeah you will stop him give him a little party pure all. sway my family mean that mean i grew it still here with us i'm a. warship no more the i should push the with a little way to go we're going through then the beginning was low because the roof of his leather bed made the. book a woman he. always will but the real issue which should fold.
8:46 pm
but i wanted to go with this thought it. fit with. what you should try to wish that would you believe at one time t. do with the above video to read to you. 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. and i still feel. when we're going to.
8:47 pm
need to do. one of these. mid-winter probably brings the biggest holiday to antarctica. everyone celebrates the. 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 gather the autumn area. in target
8:48 pm
take when her film festival or the. 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 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 6 why just 5 because a common antarctic problem has a low speed connection.
8:49 pm
back in the 2nd category is for films made in just 48 hours on friday festival organizers announced the rules and on monday all participants upload their entries which are shown to the entire population of mcmurdo and the jury delivers its verdict the winners are announced in several nominations just like all good movie festivals best film best actor best writer just camera work and there's an audience . a ward. all of antarctica's inhabitants abide by laws some the feathered and aquatic varieties abide by the antarctic laws of nature others by the provisions of the

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. you know. later the scrap metal and glass is loaded into a container and taken to the ship by tractor and helicopter.

every antarctic station of every country has similar mile markers it's a symbol a reminder of home and a subtle sign of the state's identity. the militia just want to thank god thank you bob with the choice you judge britney trying to tell you that you don't need to do what you did. for now the harsh climate hinders colonization in antarctica but in the future if
8:54 pm
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 the antarctic 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.

8:56 pm
it seems inevitable the new security regulations foust into law in the wake of the events on capitol hill the original day parade was made to legitimize the so-called war on terror the patriot act $2.00 focus on domestic care and how will the u.s. and change the e.u. once chose you know. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from.
8:57 pm
the isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. away. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. taste awful. first game code then a 2nd wave is coming now the virus is mutating walk 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused as to how to get not. meanwhile patients who've recovered from covert started to report some unusual after effects the symptoms were different but. my hearing has been ok i think. that's one of the things red
8:58 pm
flag research is all over the world are trying to determine the many takes pains and other problems and then turn it all into numbers show you my. 1113. this. just throughout the day my hair just freakish. various sources reports that didn't just leave for 35 percent of recovered patients. so you don't pull the push. just there have been many complaints of feral vision loss joint pain and fatigue in the us these patients are referred to as post coded long holos i talk to multiple doctors and my doctor and they said we have a feeling that you're going to have a hard time in recovery you're going to be one of those people that they consider a long haul or. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. who
8:59 pm
dares thinks. we dare to ask. well look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the 1st law show your identification or should be very careful about official intelligence at the point is to trace trusts ever. played on various jobs and with artificial intelligence will summon the demon.
