volunteers once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations rule today. or tomorrow live from moscow these are the top stories as nato fights to strip colonel gadhafi of vital oil and he is on the brink of its worst fuel crisis ever people on the ground complained the battle against the levy meter is harming innocent civilians the moments. of israel's flow of cheap gas is drying up with egypt pushing for a precinct on a key energy deal sealed under the previous regime shake up was prompted by allegations that only benefits the jewish state and the bars family.
4:31 am
excessive amounts of highly toxic strong links with cancer and leukemia and detected in waters around japan's fukushima nuclear plant scientists also warn that levels of contamination in the area are higher than those following the churn novel catastrophe. and intense dispute between russia and nato over the u.s. plans and i miss all the fan shield in europe is seeing little progress r.t. caught up was 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 has been going on for quite some time now between russia and the uighurs with washington saying we need powerful interests after this against a potential that type from some dangerous they think you can rename iran or north korea also saying why do you need interceptors for that is that those rogue states
4:32 am
don't have what we do so it's against russia the russians knew 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 has come up with a report that looks seem to russia's concerns and i'm going to find you so but from that very federation thank you very much for joining me dr thought thank you very much for the so from what i understand russians are not against all interceptors they are against the more advanced and the more capable guys could you explain about well we started to study a couple of months ago to look into the technical side of what might be behind russia's concerns so there's been an article in the west has been russia is ideologically opposed to middle missile defense so that they're more concerned with the bases in poland and romania but we want to see if there's something besides that they feel perhaps poland and romania are here for influence but we wanted to
4:33 am
see if there's actual technical concerns and what we what we found. the phrase adoptive approach to missile defense is broken up into two parts the number one and number two where the low. potency interceptors the block one interceptors. are on line and phases three and four where the higher speed interceptors will be brought online and our analysis shows if this 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 us to be technical ability in principle off 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 for discussion it is the four stage plan the two faces of wage they have and they think invasion the installation of this and so we intercept very sort of a lower capability the last two phases of more capability and it is the last two
4:34 am
phases that father the russians and in that we've poured you argue that the u.s. doesn't really need the last two phases could you expand on that well 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. a list of missiles can also put decoys on the missiles to overcome their differences you could put for instance inflatable blooms 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
4:35 am
first two phases nor the second two pieces will have much inherent ability. against . the rogue state threat i want to answer what you're saying and i read an excerpt from the report and it says the decision to proceed with basis three and four of the and that's the plan will result in an apparent paradox it says that places that will provide little or no actual combat effectiveness but with technical incompetence i'm certain that will cost conscious russian scientists to treat them as if they might work russia and china. and i could react by increasing their stockpiles and or by ending or blocking future nuclear arms reductions with 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
4:36 am
kind of balance by arming themselves more and he said that those arguments could be discarded by decision makers in washington as 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 for missiles that incorporate countermeasures and decoys it's never really been tested against 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 to 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
4:37 am
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. good 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 the response that they the responses they get is always polite no no you know they are told yes we will cooperate like not on equal terms what do you make i mean well. you know i think
4:38 am
it's and in some ways it's a natural response because it's 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 are asking for cooperation. go too far
4:39 am
this should be a study of whether this system can in fact work in real combat conditions not in very rigid test as it's been conducted today but still you know you see in the report you touch upon the technical aspects from russia's concerns. but from what i've been covering him for i understand the more important part of russia's frustration over america's missile defense plan is that we can say yes to that offer a shame on. 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 if 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 yeah exactly so we could get the technical people in russia together with
4:40 am
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 if and my team my colleague has proposed a drone base 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 were captured before it releases its warhead in space then they could home in on the hot exhaust coming out of the you know the boosting missile it's called the boost phase difference 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 a good system is there then we can get the political people perhaps to cooperate so there is an opinion that there is this hockey mentality i'm deaf largest and in the bush administration pushing for more defense spending and many say it continues
4:41 am
under obama do you think that a costly missile defense program arguable effectiveness could be pushed forward like this kind of hawkish mentality by then going 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 report 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 has raised all sorts of red flags in russia the new system.
4:42 am
there's something interesting i've read. the house defense bill and it funds and mandated ministration to conduct a 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. space plans to h. the american physical society concluded was a whole split nonetheless billions of dollars for spent on research he says that the current myself at this 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 knocked 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 that
4:43 am
is that you need many many many interceptors and for instance a whole you can create a hole in the defenses by just shooting prior missiles to get the local interceptors to intercept one and then for the future you have a big hole in your defense that you can. but you can use to send a missile through so scientists know that lie at least spending money and i think as far as i know there's not actually money being spent right now on developing it but there is a defense still authorized and they're studying 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 reasonable idea and it's not just the american physical society various x. officers technical officers of the air force and u.s. air force have also looked into it and shown that it's it's overly expensive and it's very easy to defeat again thank you thank you very much.

a great chance of qualifying for next summer's european championships the awesome midfielder was speaking at a charity event in siberia but on russia's recent goa stroll with cameroon in a friendly. which everyone wants to qualify for europe twenty two well first of all the players do and of course our fans because ukraine in poland a close to russia and we work hard to achieve this look let's wait until september and october frankly we are not playing at all best at the moment but we're still among the leaders of the group tough questions with message on an island in slovakia head and the fate of a place at the european finals will be decided in these matches. in russia with a pep talk from formula one sebastian vettel after just coming second have a canadian grand prix training with the new york red bulls and their former arsenal starting area the side economy on top of major league soccer's eastern conference no small thanks to henri he's been banging mean with seven goals from eleven
4:53 am
matches but despite his magic touch he still delighted with vettel scalp and the training pitch and hopes the appearance of red bulls f one star but inspired to win some silverware. all you want you want to win. doesn't seem real we didn't win anything yet so you know having him around and is going to bring us a bit of luck to win something and you know we're far from being successful. we're trying to follow the example it's nice to see you come over here and see what they do is the first time i actually had. an idea with a professional players and on the field and 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. want to step compared to me obviously just to hold the football player. now there is just one final warm up taunt left before wimbledon starts next week russia's top
