the largest intel gathering and surveillance space outside the us there are thirty two satellite dishes housed inside the huge go full 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 cite bases locals who worry 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 to toll 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. former u.s.

deaf ears with a nato as was proved at a summit in sochi the alliance also won't guarantee its own project will not target russia later we hear from a leading american scientist who says obama's team are rolling along with bush era policies. where the bush plan was first discarded by president obama when he came into power there was a lot of hope that the new system would be more agreeable to the russians but now that we harbor actual numbers instead of being less of a concern going from the bush administration to the obama. this is raised all sorts of red flags in russia. danmark is to bring the barriers back down to its borders with germany and sweden the moves not going down well with e.u. colleagues so say it violates europe's much heralded open border agreement. reports on how it signals warring times ahead for the block. but danish officials insist
2:07 am
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 by the e.u. officials in brussels and especially by denmark's neighbor germany they insist that this is a violation of the 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 laws 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
2:08 am
dispute of course the problem of really go migrants is 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 in the 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 their english the reporting there i still have for you this hour here on r t the agony 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 be a very different kind of foul play behind the claims. plus the russian children

with a rare skin disease who are deprived of state support for their condition now one parents taking the fight to the heart of 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 the load included about a hundred belgian made assault rifles along with thousands of rounds of ammunition so far only the french admit to supplying weapons to libyan anti-government forces brian johnson thomas a former arms trafficking expert for the un security council says it's a dangerous violation of the arms embargo. now it seems to me very strange about it and i thought the arms embargo was laid down by the security council was quite clear that it was to both sides who were involved we know that for example some of the units and some somalia went to libya for training within the last two or three
2:10 am
years just 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 because in some cases of it we are effectively all going on. 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 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 with nato itself acknowledges its five thousand combat missions if it's not a war. you know that this is not simply a question of 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 if

it's one that is in charge of the two major wars in the world right now those in afghanistan in a movie or i think you know we've done this few of you know minor points of contention but i think we should not be confused about what the nature of them or of them are through the organization. middle east expert things the west's rush to support the opposition in libya without of really assessing who they are. who didn't believe that the national interest in transition council as you know if you've been misused and you know means to influence and you political configuration i mean i don't think so and i also think that most think a member of the horn gives you this point. our full conversation with bomb a.k.o. is on our website right now at r.t. dot com. an official probe has found the death of a russian a lawyer in police custody in two thousand and nine was caused by insufficient medical help sergei magnitsky supporters say his maltreatment was caused because he

2:13 am
many human rights groups calling for a full investigation to determine exactly what happened that led to his death. it all over there a french rider is to file charges of attempted rape against former international monetary fund chief dominic strauss kahn she claims she was attacked in two thousand and two but his lawyers say they will soon for slander it's emerged as khan's new york sex assault case teeters on collapse as prosecutors question his accuser's credibility a former white house executive believes the ex 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 and 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
2:14 am
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 kind of made him a target for. the establishment. com is there whenever you want for more on the stories we're covering here let's take you through what's lined up for you there now. over a helicopter warship or

you're watching r.t. radiation has been detected in the thyroid of almost half of all children living near japan's for question our facility authorities are continuing to study the health effects of the nuclear crisis which sent safety shatter around the world some like germany have already pledged to close all of its plants but there are countries convinced there's 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
2:17 am
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 the rhenium the by products from using thore and less toxic than from uranium and it's much harder to make weapons from those by 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.
2:18 am
it's impossible for china to give up nuclear energy 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 that will 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 and 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
