britain and united states we have a base that's on u.s. control which the british government and british people have no control menwith hill is the largest intel gathering and surveillance space 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 launch of ballistic missiles as in poland and the czech republic where the u.s. also plan to site bases. that having a 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 at all in fact it doesn't even know what goes on here
2:03 am
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 was unveiled in london on monday menwith hill embodied what reagan in visit in the early warning missile detection system that was dubbed the star wars program it 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 it 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 though as men with hill becomes part of the missile defense shield it's building another golf ball satellite structure bringing the total to thirty three despite some local and international opposition growing not

the moves not going down well with e.u. colleagues to say it violates europe's much heralded open border agreement. reports on how it signals worrying times ahead for the block. but the news 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 and denmark itself but also has been severely opposed to why the e.u. officials in brussels and especially denmark's neighbor germany they insist that this is a violation of the should be an 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
2:06 am
may signal the end united europe but this officials insist that this will last 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 dispute of course the problem of really go migrants it's 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 would do flood countries like denmark belgium or italy and france actually do come mostly from the north american 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 their english the reporting there i still had for you this hour here on r t the agony is

about it and i thought the arms embargo was laid down by the security council was quite clear that it was arms to both sides were involved we know that for example some of the literature and some somalia went through the view of the training within the last two or three years plus documents we have the records and everything else so it seems strange in many ways the whole western support for some of the rebel groups in the view must be questioned because in some cases of it we owe it to the arming al qaeda. for months on nato's protracted 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 rick ross of the leaves a peace mission was never high on the coalition's priority list. thirteen thousand made away or missions over a country of six american or anything if i'm quoting what nato itself acknowledges and surprise i was in combat missions if it's not a war. you know who it is this is not simply your question over and over turkey

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. and 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 cause 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
