1:06 am
english to reports on how it signals warring times for the block. but 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 any damage to the free flow of traffic tourists and transportation
1:07 am
across the border we have to remember that this is not the very first border dispute of course the problem of really go into 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 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 could do flood countries like denmark belgium or italy and france actually do call 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 still i am very of this hour here in the ad it is not over for dominic strauss kahn the former i.m.f. chief is about to face fresh sexual assault charges we hear how there is likely to

1:09 am
three years just documented we have the flight 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 of it we are effectively arming all kind. for months on nato as for tract of the intervention in libya has yet to yield is desired result even as the alliance battles accusations of violating its un mandate but political blogger rick ross 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 and a half million people including what nato itself acknowledges as five thousand combat missions if it's not a war. you know the this is not simply a question of protecting libyan civilians from an over the government violence and so forth this is a concerted long term military action nato it's the world's only military board
1:10 am
it's one that is in charge of the two major wars in the world right now those are now if you understand in 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 and through the organization. middle east expert bomb maker things the west to rush to support the opposition in libya without really assessing who they are. going to leave to the international affairs in transition plans to do as good an opportunity to mislead and you know needs to be moved and you political configuration. i don't think so and i don't think that they can embrace that haunt us through this point in. our full conversation with bombing hale is on our website right now at r.t. dot com. an official pro has found the death of a russian lawyer in police custody in two thousand and nine was caused by insufficient medical help sergei magnitsky supporters say he is the maltreatment

1:17 am
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. 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 and maybe showing
