tall in fact it doesn't even know what goes on here there isn't a single british official in parliament or in the intelligence services who could give you a full picture of what is happening in this case it's the culmination of former u.s. president ronald reagan's dream as his statue is unveiled in london on monday and then with hill in a can envisage did in the early morning missile detection system that was dubbed the star wars program it's a secretive based for away from u.s. soil and some say it's a step towards the u.s. domination and militarization of space people demonstrate here campaigning for the closure of this space and the others like is around the country they want to reclaim this land and bring it back under the control of the british government and its people it's not working as men with help becomes part of the missile defense shield it's building another golf ball satellite structure bringing the total to thirty three despite local and international opposition growing not reducing the

a particularly volatile time for the european union when countries are bickering over border disputes and over cash and money issues some believe that this actually may signal the end off the united europe but the team is officials insist that this will not cause any damage to the free flow of traffic tourists and transportation across the border we have to remember that this is not the very first border disputes of course the problem of really go right here in this particularly bitter one right now for the european union earlier this year france and italy have entered a rather bitter dispute over the flow of illegal migrants across their borders and we also have to take to keep in mind the fact that the extremely well as a situation in northern africa is not going to help the situation in any way since most of the migrants who do come to europe who do flood countries like denmark bell example or it's only in france actually do come mostly from the north in africa region so this particular move by the genius officials may actually send quite

a worrisome signal to other european countries who may also follow suit. randall's to report in there and i still have to do this now or the agony is not over for of dominique strauss kahn the former i.m.f. chief valid to face fresh sexual assault charges we hear how there is likely to be a very different kind of foul play behind the claims. plus the russian children with their rare skin disease who are deprived of state support for the air conditioning now one parents taking the fight to hard problem medical establishment . libyan officials say they have intercepted two boats from qatar carrying a cache of weapons for rebel forces in the country it's said that load included about eight hundred belgian made assault rifles along with thousands of rounds of ammunition so far only the french admits to supplying weapons to leave and say government forces brian johnston thomas

a former arms trafficking expert for the u.n. security council says it's dangerous violation of the arms embargo. but it seems to me to go to. use an arsenal the arms embargo as laid down by the security council was quite clear to the both sides were involved we know that for example some of the literature and some somalia to libya for training within the last two or three years plus documented we have the flawed records and everything else so it seems strange in many ways the whole western support of some of the rebel groups in libya must be questioned within some cases. for months on nato's for track that intervention in libya has yet to yield its desired result even as the alliance battles accusations of violating its u.n. mandate by political blogger recross of believes a peace mission was never high on the coalition's priority list. thirteen thousand made away or missions over

a country of six american million people including with nato itself acknowledges its five thousand combat missions if it's not a war. you know who it is this is not simply a question of your character in libyan civilians from government violence and so forth this is a concerted and long term military action nato is the world's only military force and it's one that is in charge of the two major wars in the world right now those are going to be on the story in a movie or i think you know we can dispute reminder of points of contention but i think we should not be confused about what the for the nature of the work of art through the organization. would only sacks make hail things the west to russia to support the opposition leader without really assessing who they are. really believe to the national interest in transition as you know if you can see and you know needs to deal with a new political computing raised in. our whole conversation was bob a.k.o. is on our website right now at r.t.

the ocean would be so much brighter if you live by the sun in the fullest integrations. the star totty dot com. this is already coming to you live from moscow japan is putting some of its nuclear reactors back on line for the first time since of regime of facility was all but the steroid the accidents and safety shatters around the world germany's already closed all of its plants but there are countries convinced there is a safer alternative as henry morton reports from beijing now the global spotlight

firmly back on the safety of nuclear power following japan's tsunami and the problems of the philippines she met daiichi plant china is looking at spearheading efforts to make the industry safer a much safer the chinese are investing millions in research into reactors powered by the elements for him a metal proponents say as common as lead and one which despite some concerns would lead to power plants with few a safety issues as well as other benefits. story and based reactors certainly have advantages dinner's the release from the story is greater than from uranium products from using thore and i was toxic for uranium and it's much harder to make weapons from those by products where it's. public outcry following the problems at the plant led to billy jean putting a freeze on approvals for nuclear power stations and safety checks out of and currently under construction however with chinese electricity consumption growing at more than five percent

a year and its current reliance on fossil fuels to generate that unsustainable it's unlikely the crisis in japan will dampen china's thirst for nuclear power. in fact it's impossible for china to give up nuclear energy and china needs to make changes to its energy structure which is closely linked to the need to reduce pollution carbon emissions and the overall direction of chinese development other new energies have no advantage in either techniques or resources. no one in china is under any illusions that the country desperately needs to find alternative clean ways to generate electricity the current reliance on coal which provides some eighty percent of chinese energy needs cost the economy more than two hundred billion dollars a year through air pollution alone and while beijing is investing heavily in turn it into energy supplies nuclear power is seen as the best bet for the chinese government the problem facing authorities though is trying to convince a sometimes jittery public that nuclear energy is

a safe alternative so they are investing millions of dollars into foreign research like this in order to try and lay those fears to rest in so doing they may be showing the rest of the world a new path to clean energy and we morton r.t. beijing. pascoe's hopes for a joint missile shield in europe have been dashed a russian nato summit in the city of sochi the alliance said it had no plans for such a system and wouldn't guarantee its own missile shield one target russia later we'll hear from a leading american scientists are biased administration is continuing bush era policies here are some of what's to come. when the plan was first discarded by president obama when it came into power there was a lot of hope that the new system would be more agreeable to the russians but not of the actual numbers 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. this has raised all sorts of red flags in russia. and a brief look at a couple of international headlines now but as well in present day which obvious has made a surprise return home during his treatment for cancer in cuba coincides with venezuela's twenty two hundred independence day anniversary he addressed cheering supporters in the capital but says he won't be able to join the celebrations starchild his would be home for months down to remain as to whether he's made a full enough recovery. the woman likely to become thailand's first female prime minister has announced plans for a new five party coalition cabinet or watch spends two victory swept to victory in

like lisa are known as butterfly children however in russia it's as if they don't exist right where the thing is the doctors simply don't know of the disease and when you tell them what it is they might have heard of it but they don't know how to deal with it kenya he says only five but she already knows her diagnosis better than any doctor her mother knows there is no cure with proper medication her daughter could leave an almost normal life but it's way too expensive what is new it says here it is that it's pretty much been forgotten of art there is no state support so there's no money and no specialists. general one of those a dermatologist and admits she's become a specialist by default no one else is dealing with patients but the mothers say her advice can conflict with what they've learned from abroad with king thought well it's a very complex disease and with so few patients suffering from it and your doctor

that we're take it up we have to become a very narrow specialist i myself am tied up in many other places so i don't have much time for these patients. the two year old last is a clear example of what good care and access to proper treatment can do for a butterfly child a mother says she's probably the only girl in russia who from the very first days of her life was taken care of properly according to international standards that spent new years ago when she was twenty five days old i took her away from one of the best maternity wards in the country her stomach and were on. and the marks of the doctor's fingers ashville on her skin back then she did look like an evolution every since nice to has lived a life of protection her medication costs roughly one hundred thousand rubles more than three thousand dollars per month she has three people constantly looking after her including her mother julia says life expectancy for kids in russia is very low
