awful. first then a 2nd wave coming now the virus is mutating walk 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused. meanwhile patients who had 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 like research is all over the world are trying to determine the many pains and other problems and then turn it all into numbers show you my hair. 1113 there this is throughout the day my hair. various reports that just leave for 35 percent of
10:32 pm
recovered patients. 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 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 along. these researches will cover almost 3000 kilometers in trans polar aircraft and they'll stay here until the antarctic summer returns.
10:33 pm
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 heats its 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 the people are completely cut off from the outside while.
10:34 pm
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. were there. 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
10:35 pm
there's less oxygen in the. joint pain and knows. leads all symptoms of a climate as a nation it can take a whole months for a body to adapt. your water to be. better suited you move. to the soviet union at that time went to wall stock station because it was the father sed place from the coast from anywhere in the guy 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 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
10:36 pm
that's enough to cover the entire planet in a 50 metre think clarifies. the way it all when you push it going to go because i want to. go in there with a weapon even as i do with a boycott of credibility because when you and i don't i'm a will be going to think i'm a little bit of both and. know that they were and then they were the other so interesting nowhere near a good example of new coke and then when the core of. the core. 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
10:37 pm
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 from any. 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 that the said in the can to do with a bit of. south of the of the could do for the furthest bit of the shits on earth but the impulse to be able as 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
10:38 pm
go concerts and there will be cheap it so that it's to us in. 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 related to studies of the pastrana in the antarctic their ice cores being drilled there about 10 centimeters in diameter and up towards 3 kilometers known. researches from various countries drill through the antarctic more using their unique mess. but
10:39 pm
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 we can directly go into the ice and find ot the contents of this
10:40 pm
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 of in this been put there so the shop folks need to get a share through up momma we've got with him and stop with with a few. was the reporter covering those who didn't because they took
10:41 pm
a rebirth wish they were at the newport there's a. bitter sort of political burst there's a push for them at their word. for their new. from these studies researches now know that greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and methane have a change in really builds 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 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
10:42 pm
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 thought. go through. who are you to talk to. you know to do the. research is from every country represented in antarctica. scientific objectives politicians have another goal it's what the cool presents. the quality of presence on the polar
10:43 pm
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 are 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
10:44 pm
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. into.
10:45 pm
in truth the native inhabitants aren't always happy about the attention. become a battleground in the u.s. in vermont people are demanding the shutdown 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 are powerline with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways. a struggle.

10:47 pm
. going to tell you for you. argues with me they want to. see what that opinion on the others would be the worst for you will be. real to me at the even use me other of p.x. . to be able. to the just leave. us along through the deal and you. should write a show that. i mean after. your show of shows just shows its involvement by mughal. by the house and i had a nice those are talks about the myth of statistics book. but clearly state themselves. much of this is. because. in the real us seems abuse only nice up. people who you have on with the. solution could honestly
10:48 pm
persuade you of. you know i will. give him a little party pure all. wrapped bunch of sway markham in the media grew it still you're with us i'm a. warship no more the ocean bush the with a little way to go we're going to then have been given was low because the roof of his leather bed made the. book a woman the truth of she always will with us about the issue which should fold. but i wanted to go with this thought it.
10:49 pm
fit with. what you should try to wish to believe you believe that one time t.v. with the above video to the world. i mean is 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 apologies come to the rescue. but i still feel. when we're going to see you wish to marry a. little grains a little. star you need to do. silver balls and. i'll show.
10:50 pm
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 up the autumn area. in target take when tour film festival or the way. they 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
10:51 pm
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 has a low speed connection. we have back in the 2nd category is films made in just 48 hours 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
10:52 pm
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 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
10:53 pm
adopted in the early 1900 and part of that 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.
10:54 pm
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. your. you. mean. later the scrap metal and glass is loaded into a container and taken to the ship by tractor and helicopter. yet that. 6 weeks. more those that. are
10:55 pm
loaded with us. work. so. it will be much more. piece of the science that. built. where people want to push all. this. to go home for instance it would be 14025 kilometer. 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. whatever
10:56 pm
. the militia introduced was a good. job with the choice you just were treated when you tried to tell you that you don't need to get what you think. you are now the harsh climate hinders colonization in antarctica but in the future if it warms this southernmost continent really could be settled. you 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 limit.
10:57 pm
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 that all 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. scientific progress should ever sink into oblivion this should be a place for true freedom equality and human brotherhood on this fragile world of
10:59 pm
jerry thinks. we dared to ask. right now there are 1000000 people who are overweight or obese it's profitable to self frenzy and sugary and salty and addictive it's not at the individual level it's not individual willpower and if we go on believing that would never change this obesity epidemic that industry has been influencing very deeply the medical and scientific establishment. so what's driving the obesity epidemic it's corporate profit. pretty.

good life from him was donald trump bids farewell to the white house with a speech outlining his achievements but a few weeks since dr circuit merican democracy to its core problems and d.c. wraps up security out of joe biden's inauguration. germany extends and strengthens covert restrictions nationwide as the country steps up its fight against the under . layers in france vent their anger over vaccine shortages and logistical setbacks you speak to the water official. the main thing and this is just a joke it's a little bit we have to go get the vaccine ourselves and. health officials in california of warning against you.
