hill is the largest intel gathering and surveillance base outside the us there are thirty two satellite dishes housed inside the huge golf ball structures which can eavesdrop on telephone calls faxes and e-mails from around the world it's been operational since the one nine hundred sixty s. but now it's set to become part of the controversial missile defense shield to alert the u.s. to any. jazz in poland and the czech republic where the u.s. also plans to bases. that having the facility here will put the area in danger heightening the risk of an attack by anyone who wants to disable the shield but unlike in eastern europe the government here has put up no fight a 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 space it's the culmination of former

u.s. president ronald reagan's dream as his statue is unveiled in london on monday menwith hill in bodies where you can envisage didn't leave early warning missile detection system that was dubbed the star wars program it secretive based far 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 but under the control of the british government and its people it's not working though 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 u.s. is influencing europe. menwith hill yorkshire. demarcus to bring the barriers back down on its borders with germany and sweden the moves not going down

well with colleagues to say violates europe's much open border agreement our visa read english to reports on how it signals warring times ahead for the block the danish officials insist that this is to prevent drug flow and illegal migrants from entering the country but the move has been regarded as a bad sign not just by the left wing politicians and the opposition in denmark itself but also has been severely opposed to why the e.u. officials in brussels and especially by denmark's neighbor germany they insist that this is a violation of the good agreement of the open borders in europe and they also say that this is not a wise move at all to make during 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 united europe but the danish officials insist that this will

last cause and the 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 dispute of course the problem of really go 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 volatile 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 belgium or italy and france actually do come mostly from the north and african region so this particular move by the danish officials may actually send quite a worrisome signal to other european countries who may also follow suit. ridiculous to report in there and i still have for you this hour the agony is not over for of dominic strauss kahn former i.m.f.

chief is about 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 too hard on the medical establishment . libyan officials say they have intercepted two boats from qatar carrying a cache of weapons for rebel forces in the country it 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 leaving anti-government forces brian johnston thomas a former arms trafficking expert for the un security council says it's dangerous violation of the arms embargo. now it seems to me about going about it and i thought the arms embargo was laid down by the security council was quote to do was

to both sides were involved we know that for example some of the literature and some somalia when she libya for training within the last two or three is just talking about she would have to fly 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 because in some cases it will effectively all going all kind. for months on nato is protected 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. thirty thousand nato air missions over a country of six and a half million people including what nato itself acknowledges as five thousand combat missions if it's not a war. you know that this is not simply a question of the are protecting libyan civilians from the over the government

violence and so forth this is a concerted long term military action nato it's the world's only military or it's one that is in charge of the two major wars in the world right now those are the if you understand the libya i think you know we can dispute you know minor points of contention but i think we should not be confused about what the nature of the merkel on through the organization. middle east expert thinks the west to russia to support the opposition in libya without really assessing who they are. going to believe this is the national interest in transition from field as you know he's been in and you know needs to deal with and you wanted to get a continuation of our full conversation was bombing how is on our website right now at r.t. dot com. a russian aware who died in police custody in two thousand and nine was caused by insufficient medical help sergei magnitsky supporters say his maltreatment was because he blew the whistle on police corruption investigators

say the prison staff involved will face trial artie's correspondent peter all over is following the case. the additional forensic medical examination into the death of surrogate magnitsky is now being completed a spokesperson for the the investigative committee said that medical examination revealed that magnitsky had a preexisting heart condition which had contributed to his death now he also went on to say criminal a criminal case has been opened and charges of failure to provide adequate medical care negligence are to be brought against stuff at the detention facility where sergei magnitsky was awaiting trial where he's being held at awaiting trial on charges of tax evasion now in this case the death of said give magnitsky in custody while he was awaiting the trial drew huge interest all around the world with many many human rights groups calling for

a full investigation to determine exactly what happened that led to his death. peed all over they are now french riders to file charges of attempted rape of gas for my international monetary fund dominic strauss kahn she claims she was attacked in two thousand and two but his lawyers say they will sue for slander it's emerged this khan's new york sex assault case teeters on collapse as prosecutors question his accuser's credibility a former white house executive believes the x. official could be a victim of political foul play. the french press has reported that strauss kahn said before he ever came to the united states that he expected sarkozy to pay some french woman a million euros to bring sex charges against him and he said that was because he was leading the sarkozy in the polls for the french presidency and that he.

stressed crime said that would be sarkozy's response and the french press has taken this seriously i think he got in trouble because he began questioning the i am mouse use of its power to force the cost of the bailout of the banks onto the backs of just ordinary people he started questioning that he was meeting in the united states with the economist joseph stiglitz who was a big critic of that way of bailing out the banks and i think he was sending signals that upset the financial community so it may have helped him with ordinary people but it kind of made him a target for. the establishment. aarti dot com is there whenever you want from more on the stories we're covering here let's take you through what's lined up for you now. getting into the church on time the russian m.p. took to the skies so that he didn't miss the sermon planning his high tech transport

well she would be soo much brighter if you moved from funds to pressure. start on t.v. don't come. this is r t coming to you live from moscow japan is putting some of its nuclear reactors back on line for the first time since the fukushima facility was all but destroyed the accidents and safety shutters around the world germany's already decided to close all of its plants but there are countries convinced there is a safer alternative as henry morton reports from beijing. with the global spotlight firmly back on the safety of nuclear power following japan's tsunami and the problems at the fukushima daiichi plant china is looking at spearheading efforts to make the industry safer much safer the chinese are investing millions in research

into reactors powered by the element floor in a metal proponents say as common as lead and one which despite some concerns would lead to power plants with fewer safety issues as well as other benefits. thore and based reactors certainly have advantages release from the story and is greater than from uranium the by products from using thore in a less toxic than from uranium and it's much harder to make weapons from those my products. public outcry following the problems at the fukushima plant led to beijing putting a freeze on approvals of all new nuclear power stations and safety checks at the twenty seven 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. 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 by the chinese government the problem facing authorities is trying to convince a sometimes. just a republic that nuclear energy is a safe alternative so they are investing millions of dollars into foreign research like this in order to try and leave those fears to rest in so doing maybe showing the rest of the world a new path to clean energy and remotes and ati beijing moscow's

hopes for a joint missile shield in europe have been dashed at 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 scientist who says obama's administration is continuing bush era policies here's some of what's to come. when the bush 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 now that we have actual numbers if you look at the congressional research service reports it would be four hundred forty interceptors various 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. 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. this would be home for months and 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 watch spend to victory swept to victory in an election where her opposition party won the majority of votes in a wad campaign to lead the government focusing on reconciliation and economic restoration the forty four year old is the sister of the country's ousted prime minister talks and you know what was toppled five years ago.

there are the for god and few the russian children suffering from a rare genetic disease which few know how to cure and which can leave them badly scarred and in acute pain until now it's been virtually ignored by the medical establishment but one mother is hoping to change that reports. she likes dancing and no one would guess the amount of pain lisa goes through to make these simple movements lisa has a rare genetic condition epidermal this is below zero or that makes her skin less than as a butterfly wing a slight touch or a hug can cause painful blistering that takes a long time to heal leaving the skin even more fragile. around the world sufferers like lisa are known as butterfly children however in russia it's as if they don't exist right you 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 she knew lizzie is 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 lead an almost normal life but it's way too expensive while using it it says here it is that it's pretty much being forgotten about there is no state support so there's no money and no specialists. general manager is 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 what you saw well it's a very complex disease and with so few patients suffering from it any doctor that would take it up would have to become a very narrow specialist i myself am tied up in many other voices so i don't have much time for these patients. two year old nasty is

a clear example of what good care and access to proper treatment can do for a butterfly child her 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 but spent new year's when she was twenty five days old i took her away from one of the best maternity wards in the country her stomach and feet were all. or the marks of the doctor's fingers are still on her skin back then she did look like an a.b. patient regular since ny still 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 julie says life expectancy for such kids in russia is very low and she would do anything to make her daughter's life longer happy on the third of she's my beautiful and line expected princes and if there's a piece of that can hurt my princess i'll take them all way no matter what the cost

julie is also behind a newly created foundation to help other children now people from all over the country are calling her and it seems the number of suffering children is far greater than the previously estimated one hundred s. for lisa she bravely takes on life with a smile despite her deteriorating state as a sign of trust she told me her biggest dream there may be few children with this disease in russia but each of them needs all the support they can get they may have learned to live with their condition but just like liza they'll dream of one day waking up to a life without paying. r.t. moscow. for their brings us up to date here on r t time now to work out what's happening in the world of business your list here. russia's hello and welcome to the business update russia's transport minister has
