it's he's trying to be it's astonishing most americans have no idea there are more than a quarter of a million more than two hundred fifty thousand u.s. troops stationed on these bases all around the world. we don't have fallen bases in america we don't have any british base we don't have any korean base we don't have any french bases or you know we just all american bases in. there are the noises i want north of those of all the us i don't because they're all bases but for other people it's almost like a cancer here for these people. since the end of world war two the spaces i've been . working here to provide a safe and secure environment for everybody. the questions you know pinkos you get everything you need.

official total to eight meanwhile scientists warn that levels of temptation in the area are higher than those follow a novel catastrophe. and intense dispute between russia and nato over the u.s. plans anti-missile the fan shield in europe is seeing little progress r.t. caught up with dr use of but from the federation of american scientists who believes it will take both sides to make the system work. the war of words on missile defense is being going on for quite some time now between russia and the uighurs with washington saying we need powerful interceptors against a potential attack from some dangerous state usually named iran or north korea in moscow saying why do you need interceptors for weapons that those rogue states don't have what we do so it's against russia the question is do you america's missile defense plans as an attempt to preach that very precious parity principle

that was said in the start treaty and now the federation of american scientists come up with a report that looks seemed to russia's concerns and i'm joined by bought from that very thing to ration thank you very much for joining me dr but thank you very much for the so what i understand russians are not against all interceptors they are against a more advanced and the more capable ones could you expand on that well we started the study a couple of months ago to look into the technical side of what might be behind russia's concerns so there's not a tip in the west has been that russia is ideologically opposed to middle missile defense so that they're more concerned with the bases in poland and romania but we wanted to see if there's something besides that they feel perhaps poland and romania are. both influence but we wanted to see if there's actual technical concerns and what we what we found. the phrase adoptive approach

to missile defense was broken up into two parts the number one and number two were the low. potency interceptors the block one interceptors are online and phases three and four where the higher speed interceptors will be brought online and our analysis shows if the system is reconfigured a little bit that it will have some ability against russian i.c.b.m. so there is some. jim a concern from from the russian side as to the technical ability in principle of the system being able to intercept russian i.c.b.m. i'd like to explain to the viewers today about the missile defense plan that we are talking about and that is now out such discussion it is the four stage plan the two faces of the way. they have a vision the installation of a sensory interceptors a lower capability that last two phases of more capability and it is the last two phases that the russians and in that we've poured you argued that the u.s.

doesn't really need the last two phases could you expand on that in fact. it's sort of a paradox because. even neither of the first phases nor the second phases would really have an ability against rogue state i.c.b.m.'s anybody who can make. ballistic missiles can also put decoys on the missiles to overcome the differences you can put for instance inflatable balloons that appear to the radar sensors into the. imaging sensors on the intercept vehicle as warhead so you overwhelm the system so it's easy to defeat the system and you won't be getting anything extra by going to the higher potency interceptors the block two interceptors which are due to come online after twenty eighteen so neither the first two phases nor the second two phases will have much inherent ability. against.

the rogue state threat i want to add to what you're saying and i read an excerpt from the report and it says the decision to proceed with phasing three and four of the and that's the plan will result in an apparent paradox it says defenses that will provide little or no actual combat effectiveness but with technical and quantity of uncertainties that will cause. russian planners to treat them as if they might work and try. and i could react by increasing their stockpiles and or by ending or blocking teaching of the arms reductions and ways the united states this in turn will have far ranging implications for global security so the report in the report you make two very important points that the effectiveness of the interceptors is arguable from a scientific point of view and b. that this could push the russians and possibly the chinese to try and restore some kind of balance by arming themselves more of these things that those arguments can be could be discarded by decision makers in washington well apparently they have

already. it's sort of a puzzle because the system itself has never actually been tested under realistic conditions so it's never actually been you know for instance a salvo of missiles that incorporate countermeasures and decoys it's never really been tested against that the timing of the tests has always been known to the intercepting so the intercept team knows exactly the trajectory that the. that the missile is incoming on and they know the exact timing so of course in the case of north korea or iran that will not be the case furthermore most seriously perhaps the most of the system is based on ships now these ships have never been tested in rough weather in fact when. the u.s. a one ninety three satellite was being intercepted a few years back it was called off for a couple of days because the weather was too rough for the for the cruisers so this

is a known weakness in the system. but you know from the planners side they have to see perhaps there will be some technological surprise in the future maybe they'll be many more interceptors maybe they'll be a different administration so from the military planners in china and russia they have to pretend or plan for the worst pretend like the system works where is it can be easily overcome and has never been realistically. russians have been quite persistent in forgiveness and in saying ok if it's not against us let's do it together let's build a defense shield together in europe but response that. the response that they get is always there no polite no but no you know they are told yes we will cooperate but not on equal terms what do you make of it well. you know i think it's and in some ways it's a natural response because. it's hard to get full cooperation when russia is not

officially part of nato but i would say even both in the u.s. and in russia the people asking for cooperation before you do that the most important thing is to make sure the system works you know you don't want to cooperate on something that can easily be defeated by iran or north korea it's important to understand that these intercepts of the missile occur in space so there's no air resistance there so you can spread out any kind of balloons shards of metal and all of these things travel with the warhead in space because there's no resistance so you're. can deceive the defenses very simply so i would say before all the political people asking for cooperation. go too far this should be a study of whether this system can in fact work in real combat conditions not in

a very rigged test as it's been conducted today but still you know you see in the report you touch upon the technical aspects remember russia's concerns but from what i've been covering him for what i understand the more important part of precious frustration over america's missile defense plan is that we want to say yes to cooperation on equal terms and. do you think. that should be part of the discussion. surely it should be part of the discussion and it should but you know there's a priority first you get a system that works and then you cooperate on it so. i think there's a time for cooperation but before that perhaps we can get maybe make it work together you know yeah exactly we could get the technical people in russia together with the technical people in the us and we can all brainstorm on ideas but but that's not happening so you know there's various people have proposed different

systems that might work postal of mit my colleague has proposed a drone based system so you'd have drones circling around north korea for instance and this wouldn't be a threat to russia of course because it's located around north korea and when they see a missile being launched they will catch it before it releases its warhead in space then they could home in on the hot exhaust coming out of the. boosting missile it's called the boost phase defense but apparently it's not been picked up by the pentagon and it's not being studied by anybody else so i think we need to get the technical people to cooperate once it's good system is there then we can get the political people perhaps to cooperate talks about there is an opinion that there is this hawkish mentality that flourished under the bush administration pushing for more defense spending and many say it continues under obama do you think that a costly missile defense program of arguable effectiveness could be pushed

forward by this kind of hawkish mentality by the dangling security threats. i mean surely there is inertia in the system when the bush plan was first discarded by president obama when he came into power there was a lot of hope that the new system would be more agreeable to the russians but now that we have actual number. if you look at the congressional research service reports it would be four hundred forty interceptors based on forty three ships now these are mobile platforms and that is part of the problem so instead of being less of a concern going from the bush administration to the obama administration the. this is raised all sorts of red flags in. the new system. there's something interesting i've read. the house defense bill and it funds and mandated that ministration to conduct the study on the technical and operational feasibility

of space based interceptors that's from one of the papers here space based interceptors that sounds an awful lot like reagan's. plans which the american physical society concluded was a hoax but nonetheless billions of dollars are spent on research he says that the current myself defense program also could turn into a hole where money goes and disappears despite what the scientists are saying well space based defense has been proven to be not a feasible idea because you would need so many interceptors and these would be in orbit now people have an idea that things are stationary in orbit they're not in low earth orbit they're moving very fast so they're not over any one region for very long and the consequence of is that you need many many many interceptors and for instance a whole you can create a hole in the defenses by just shooting a prior missile to get the local interceptors to intercept

one and then for the future you have a big hole in your defense that you can. that you can use to send a missile through so scientists know that why are they spending money on it i think as far as i know there is not actually money being spent right now on developing it but there is a defense bill authorized there's. being the concept they're not actually building it as far as i know at the moment but it's definitely proven proven to be a feasible idea and it's not just the american physical society various officers technical officers of the air force and u.s. air force have also looked into it and. it's it's overly expensive and it's very easy to defeat again thank you thank you very much.

. cracking goals then russia football captain on that i shot in admits the team has not been playing well but insists they still have a great chance of qualifying for next summer's european championships the arsenal midfielder was speaking at a charity event in siberia following russia's recent goalless draw with cameroon in

a friendly. everyone wants to qualify for europe twenty twelve first all the players do and of course i will stand because ukraine in poland a close to russia and we will work hard to achieve this but let's wait until september and october frankly we're not playing at all best at the moment but we're still among the leaders of the group tough questions with message dani island and head and the fate of a place at the european finals will be decided in these matches. russia could do with a pep talk from formula one sebastian vettel after just coming second at the canadian grand prix he's been training with the new york red bull socket and their former arsenal star t.r.e. on rain the side are currently on top of the major league soccer's eastern conference no small thanks to. he's been banging them in with seven goals from eleven matches but despite his magic touch he still don't like to put vettel help on the training pitch and hopes the appearance of red bulls f one star will inspire

the players to win some silverware. plus all you want you want to win and i was a junior we didn't win anything yet so you know having him around them is going to bring us a bit of luck to win something and of course you know we're for from being successful . and we're trying to follow the example nice to see come over here and see what they do is the first time i actually had. an idea with professional players and on the field it's amazing you know it's small things that you probably don't see from the outside but how they move and how quick they are and you know we didn't want to step compared to me obviously just to hold the football player now there is just one final warm up tournament left before wimbledon starts next week russia's top tennis player is one of the over among the stars competing at the sport she plays britain's heather watson this afternoon and says it will be a crucial few days before the third grand slam of the year gets underway. it is an

important tournament you always want to believe humor before you you head into the grand slams especially since we didn't have a long break after french open then i didn't get the chance to play in the tournament on the grass so. i will differently. this week is a good preparation for for wimbledon. you know already you know trying to focus and build. my game so i can perform the best they can the next week but also i want to try to bring good tennis this week as well but also playing is serena williams it's her first tournament since damaging a ligament in her foot after celebrating her fourth wimbledon title last year that injury in turn lead to blood clots on her long but she has made a full recovery and saw her sister venus win her game against andrea petkovic yesterday it's arena's turn today against. the former world number one can't wait

to get back out on call. and want to play a role in girls. didn't quite work out. try to play another event. i don't usually play a warm up tournaments before wimbledon macel figure i haven't played about here so maybe i. could probably smart for me to play a world tour and where better to play them at least one i flew here before. the half way decent results. well britain's number one and being mary has had the perfect preparation he claimed his second queen's title in three years coming from a set down to beat french media were free to tsonga it took six three the second one went with murray easily gaining the upper hand in a tie break and he maintained his momentum to break the french in the fifth game and even had the cheek to tease his opponent there with the between the legs where that met the brit then held on to the set and

a match six four to the delight of the home crowd so. for frank murray throwing down the coolant to his opponents was the grass court season approaches its climax at wimbledon next week. yeah it was an unbelievable week started off not playing great but just way through the last two matches were so much fun i think. joe as well chris and everyone who runs it's everyone that came out to the. manager of your bosses saw you on the t.v. for that. i thank you so much for coming along it was an unbelievable atmosphere i really really enjoyed it today. finally over in the states n.b.a. champions the dallas mavericks have enjoyed a jubilant homecoming after beating miami to claim the title for the first time i touched down in dallas and that plane was given i moved a gun salute and then they were greeted by hundreds of fans only multi-band walked off first followed by finals m.v.p. . and there's always have

a celebration parade have been revealed but command has pledged to pay for it himself as the city of dallas has a fifty two million dollars budget gap. so that is the sport for the moment we've got more a bit later on next it's the sport it's the weather. hungry for the full story we've got it first the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers.
