taken control over what's too bad is a national uprising it's too early to say whether russia will be able to bring peace and stability to leave it but what's clear among people on the ground is that it's definitely worth trying. let's right now to get back to cause i mean as our who will bring us the latest on the russian chinese relations and view of the chinese leader a visiting moscow country let's pick up from where we left off before we were cut off we know that the two leaders who jintao and president medvedev are meeting hot on the heels of a summit of central asian states and where the question of libya and syria was raised so is there an understanding on this issue. there most certainly is i mean almost. i have to apologize one more time we have some difficulties there with the signal but we're will be bringing you more on the story later in the program so stay with us for that in the meantime let's continue with the other
12:06 am
stories that we're following for you fear this morning on our t.v. so still ahead this hour a question of justice as alleged russian dan rather a victim of poor faces a new round in your score battle with the legality of the whole case i was schooled in. and find out how nationality is cast aside by explorers surviving in the freezing waters of the world's oldest continent. then your ass will now have to readjust its missile defense plan for you were after the czech republic announced its dropping out of the project process i was frustrated and it's now my honor roll in the system the country was originally supposed to host greater base but president obama proposed stationing less important facilities there in washington claims the scheme aims to protect us from potential threats from iran or north korea but there has been strong opposition
12:07 am
from russia which is concerned it is the target the czech republic has also seen massive protests activists who participated in the rallies says the system will only fuel international tension the czech people don't want such a pain here in this country we actually undermine the security of the czech republic and europe as a continent and so we think that it's completely contradictory to play such and such a system here in europe this system without incorporating russia without talking to also other world superpowers way china like india or the calling card that will be the biggest world economies in the following years is really going to make a lot of tensions on the global scale and so we should be wise and just start thinking about building the security mechanisms and structures that will include all the big superpowers not just. moscow has asked for
12:08 am
a legal guarantees that the proposed missile defense shield won't be aimed at its nuclear capabilities so far the u.s. and nato have refused to provide them and russia's and boyd to the alliance says the project seems more of a threat to security rather than reassurance. the security of an individual or state consists of two parts the first is the guarantee given by law by the state the other part is simple amended by a person's actions to provide his or her own security the same applies to us the more real guarantees we get from our partner the less will do to provide our own security and vice versa i believe the missile defense project in the way it's presented now is very provocative and unjust but it can be useful and fair only or for russia gets to participate in it on equal terms with other states. and that was represented with nato commenting on the alliances missile defense plans in europe.
