12:30 am
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 very quickly due to the low oxygen levels. there sort of put us. through. the door will put up with the world as a bruce hopes that opus will. but the. conditions here are truly and human the average temperature in december and january falls below
12:31 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 ation it can take a whole months for a body to adapt. to. the it. was approved if. you remember to be. better suited to move. to the soviet union at that time went to what station because it was no further the farthest place from the coast from anywhere in the guy it was the most challenging place i mean the way the soviet union wanted to show how good they where at the hunting very extreme conditions so the stock was more i would say importantly gore won the scientific one now is different this iteration is very much driven by science.
12:32 am
all of antarctica is 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. the word for you all when you push it gotta go but if i want to. go with the nation i don't they won't. even know what i do with a boy that occur to you because you and i don't know who bully think i'm a little bit of both and good. that they were there with all the other so interesting upper and good antonenko when i when i thought of. the cool. lake vostok was one of the biggest geographical discoveries in the 2nd half of the
12:33 am
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 naked always existed even before antarctica froze over and that the ice sheets simply sealed it in. in a different attitude state is at the certain end of the can to do with a bit of. south of the other could do for the furthest bit of the shits on earth but i'm pleased to be in the as a short the burden of the social and delicious to of the. late 20th century saw the
12:34 am
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 joining began in 1809 serviette french and american members of the joint expedition at the vast uk station all took part. in my work as are they did 2 studies of the past climate in the antarctic their ice cores being drilled they're about 10 centimeters in diameter and up towards 3
12:35 am
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. 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
12:36 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 sort him and has been put there so the
12:37 am
shop folks need to put a chair through look them up on what we've got with a man stop with we've brought it here. well the border governors do because they can both wish they were at the new proposal. but are sort of political 1st there's a push for them at their word and use their look at the birth of 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 these 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
12:38 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. your pocket. book tour of. the pool. what's apparently a real thought. to believe. some people go through. who is to talk to. you today with the. researchers from every country represented in antarctica. scientific objectives politicians
12:39 am
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 why would you 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
12:40 am
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 out 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 is research.
12:41 am
into. if people. in truth the native inhabitants and always happy about the attention. today are going to talk about what happened. to gather. what happens. taste awful. then a 2nd wave coming now the virus is mutating and walk 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused. meanwhile patients who recovered from covert started to report some unusual aftereffects the symptoms were different but. my hearing has been ok i think. one of the things i like research is all over the
12:42 am
world are trying to determine the many pains and other problems and then turn it all into numbers showing my hair. the 1113 there this is throughout the day my hair just. various reports that didn't just leave a 35 percent of recovered patients. so. yes there have been many complaints of peril vision loss joint pain and fatigue in the us these patients are referred to as post coded long holos i talked to multiple doctors in my doctor and they said the 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.
12:43 am
seemed wrong. all. to shape our just to come out ahead and in. the trail. when some find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. 2 2
12:44 am
local. people if you look to be dealing with. it with much of. your wishful. thinking you know you'd say you. i hear that it might i want to. see what that opinion others would be if you will spare you a little bit of a real thing at the even use me other of p.x. . to be loosely is give them. up on the crux of the pew study of please get. along with dylan you. should write a special that. i mean up on. your show just because it's about money by michael. by the house and i have a nice those are talks about the myth of statistics book. but clearly state themselves. because. in the real us seems abuse only
12:45 am
nice up. people who you have on with. treating and going with a solution could honestly persuade you of. you know i will. give him a little party pure all. wrapped bunch of sway marcum i mean they mean a gruet still here 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 roof of his leather bed made a. book a woman he took a few words will with us about the issue which should fold.
12:46 am
but i wanted to go with this thought it. fit with. what you should try to wish to believe you believe at one time t. do with the above video up to 80 years. i mean it is it is an amazing amazing place and i think you should be prepared to go and go there and feel your place may invest the 70 feel very small. how do you cope with such an enormous overload apologies come to the rescue. but i still feel. when we're going to. kill grains of.
12:47 am
silver. one of these. i'll show. 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 gather the autumn area. in target dick when tear film festival or the way. they
12:48 am
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 6 why just 5 because a common antarctic problem is a low speed connection. we have back in the 2nd category is for films made in just 48 hours
12:49 am
a day 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 list 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
12:50 am
antarctic treaty. by mental pressure. adopted in the early 1900 and part of that the whole of the protocol is about how we under the treaty are going to manage the environment better so things about mineral exploitation. of interest.
12:51 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 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.
12:52 am
yet that. 6 weeks. who. knows. what the. book. it will be much more. built. this. for instance it would be 14025 kilometer.
12:53 am
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. what's the good of a militia this was a good. job with the choice you. were critical need. to. do what you did to. you for now the harsh climate hinders colonization in antarctica but in the future if it warms this southernmost continent really could be settled. a who cannot turn.
12:54 am
political interests to have stations and economic interests to have tourism. 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 and nearby areas. some of the claims are enormous. the beauty of the antarctic treaty is that 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.
12:55 am
it will be a real shame if the antarctic values imbedded in that treaty of a perfect community of free citizens in gauge solian research and scientific progress should ever. sink into oblivion you this should be a place for true freedom equality and human brotherhood on this fragile world of ours. is your media a reflection of reality. in
12:56 am
a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. tyson nation full community. are you going the right way or are you being led. directly. what is truth what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. nuclear become a battleground in the us in vermont people are demanding the shut down of a local plant for 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
12:57 am
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 is or how or lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in the very real ways our struggle on r.t. . the world is driven by shaped by one person. no dares thinks. we dare to ask.
12:58 am
what taste awful like absolutely awful 1st game code then a 2nd wave is coming now the virus is mutating and walk 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused as to how to get not. meanwhile patients who recovered from covert started to report some unusual aftereffects the symptoms were different but. my hearing has been ok i think. one of those things where it's like research is all over the world are trying to determine the many aches pains and other problems and then turn it all into numbers show you my hair. but you appear to be 1113 there this is throughout the day my hair just. various sources reports that couvade didn't just leave for 35 percent of recovered patients
12:59 am
. so you don't pull the push. just there have been many complaints of peril vision loss joint pain and fatigue in the us these patients are referred to as post coded long holos i talked 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. else i 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 to conflict with the 1st law show your identification for should break up. the point all the great. lakes area chock thing with artificial intelligence where something.
1:00 am
must protect its own existence is. germany politicians are a longer head so about how to solve the worsening cope of 19 crisis public support for tougher restrictions plummets. shortages in the just ticklish he says the country's places teething problems you hear from one regional official. the main thing and this is just a joke we have to get the vaccine on selves. in a wave of allergic reactions california calls for a bunch of to be withdrawn as a number of countries also try to relate vaccine safety fields.
