we don't. need to. commentary. we can do better we should know. everyone is contributing way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges create the response has been so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. right now there are. waves. profitable to self. and sugary and salty and addictive and it's not
12:31 pm
at the individual level it's not individual well our efforts go on believing that never change this obesity epidemic that industry has been influencing very deeply the medical and scientific establishment. so what's driving the obesity epidemic. these researches will cover almost 3000 kilometers in trans polar aircraft and they'll stay here until the antarctic summer returns the. snow in the very heart of antarctica has one amazing property. when the temperature
12:32 pm
drops below minus $55.00 it becomes a drive frozen sand if a plane lands on it friction instantly sheets of skis which then refreeze solidly onto the runway. that's why planes can only fly out of us 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. stocks water supply is drawn from the snow. the station sits more than 3500 meters above sea level that met altitude even the
12:33 pm
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 burst 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 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. if
12:34 pm
. 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 1st father sed 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 the gore won the scientific one now is different this iteration is very much driven by science 'd. all of antarctica is covered by an ice sheet the. can be up to 4 kilometers think that's enough to cover the entire planet in a 50 meter thing clarifies. the weight of your all when you push that going to go because i want to go. with the nation i don't know what that. if. i do
12:35 pm
with a boy that occurred to me because i don't know my will be bully think i'm a little bit of both and good. that they were there to then deal with the other so interesting you get 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 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.
12:36 pm
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 as fate is that those in the can to do with a bit of. south of the of the good through the birth of the british it's a lot but i'm pleased to be able as i showed the burden of 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. and was done so as to look at that it was here to look and sure it's in the world war 3 this should keep it so that it's to us in of.
12:37 pm
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 past climate 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 morning 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.
12:38 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.
12:39 pm
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 now 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 shop folks need to get a chair to look them up on what we've got with the amount of the proof we have but it is. well the snowboarder got that didn't because they took a rebirth wish they were at any of those a. bit of political 1st there's a push for them with the web. browser for their new. from these studies researches now know that greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and methane have
12:40 pm
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 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 are we excess sarees to climatic calamity after all these are the questions paleo ontologies to trying to answer here in antarctica.
12:41 pm
people. who are poor what's a perfectly well thought. to believe until the. people go through. this to talk. to the. researchers 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 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
12:42 pm
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
12:43 pm
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 rules agreed 60 years ago the only legal activity in respect of antarctica and its inhabitants his research. into. walkable few people. in truth be a native inhabitants and always happy about the attention. so
12:44 pm
what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race on this very dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit down and talk. the us. people. from. right now my focus because it's a very dangerous. power plant. beyond its operational limits this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on the power in this country is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional. power lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in
12:45 pm
12:46 pm
more than. a human should might i want to. pick that song it out of my path and i say see what that opinion on the others would be the worst for you will be. real to me at that affair you can use me other of p.x. . people those of you to be useless give them. up on the crux of the just leave. us along through the deal when you. write. back i mean yeah but. your show of shows just shows it's about money by muggle yeah by the house and i have a car and you still talk about the myth of statistics book yeah but clearly state themselves who much of this is. because. in the real us seems bureau beliefs are. people who you have only thought was suicidal in the country doing the killing is the solution and could honestly persuade you of. you know i will. give him a little party pure all. wrapped bunch
12:47 pm
of sway marcum in the me i grew it 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 good news it is that the bed made the. book a woman here will sort of she always will with us about the issue which should fold . but the way to go with this thought. this i'm with it with will spoke. with you should try to wish to believe you
12:48 pm
believe that one time t.v. with the above video to meet you. 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 in the investee suddenly feel very small. how do you cope with such an enormous overload politicians come to the rescue. of our school fields. when we're going to see who is going to. kill grains a little. distant. star you need to do. silver falls on your part of the east. coast.
12:49 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 muslim area. in target take when tour 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
12:50 pm
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 for 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 mcmurdo. and the jury delivers its verdict the winners are announced in several
12:51 pm
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 antarctic treaty. by mental pressure. adopted in the early 1990 s. and part of that well the whole protocol is about how we under the treaty are going
12:52 pm
to manage the environment better so 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 and large ship arrives and they prepare for a shift change they burn water can be burned and all glass and scrap metal is
12:53 pm
12:54 pm
in 4 countries work. so. it would be much more. piece of the science that. people wanted to show off already just. 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. the
12:55 pm
militia just want to. thank you both with the choice you claim to judge but read what do you do trying 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. we cannot turn to crime by political interests to have stations and i think this economic interest to have tourism and. i think it's important to set some limits.
12:56 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 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 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
12:58 pm
day or thinks. we dare to ask. taste awful like absolutely awful 1st game code then a 2nd wave they say the 3rd is coming now the virus is mutating and walk 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused as to holly gets not. meanwhile patients who've recovered from covert started to report some unusual aftereffects the symptoms were different but. my hearing has been ok i think. that's one of those things are up like researches all over the world or trying to determine the many aches pains and other problems and then turn it all into numbers showing my hair. but if you look here to date 1113 there this is throughout the day my hair just freakish. various sources reports that couvade didn't just leave for
12:59 pm
35 percent of recovered patients. so you don't pull the bullshit because the bush. 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 hole as 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. in 2040 you know bloody revolution to crush the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it. the president recalls the events of $24.00. those who. had invested
1:00 pm
over $5000000000.00 to assist ukraine in these and that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. among the stories that shape their week frustration in countries that did for the. problems heading north america some people in the u.s. to travel to neighboring states just to get off. the vaccination campaign kicks off in russia with the. number of countries to use a. serbian film director gave us his take. on a very. exposed.
