each began a journey. where did it take them. more news today. again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations are the day.

this there if you live from moscow reminder of the top stories british activists mark us in a panels day with protests demanding the closure of an american spy base in england which is due to be a part of a star wars dive missile shield they're concerned it's a step towards a self-serving american militarization of space. danmark drops down the border barriers again with customs checks designed to tackle drug smuggling and illegal immigration but it's angered colleagues who say it violates the cornerstone of european unity. and libyan officials say the arms embargo has been breached again as boats from qatar carrying weapons for the rebels are reportedly intercepted so far france is the only nation to admit supplying arms to take it off and forces.

well next our t.v. discusses the missile shield plans that are driving a wedge between moscow and washington. i. mean what i understand russians are not against all interceptors they are against a more advanced and the more capable ones could you expand on that well we started the study a couple of months ago to look into the technical side of what might be behind russia's concerns so there's not a tip in the west has been that russia is ideologically opposed to middle missile defense so that they're more concerned with the bases in poland and romania but we wanted to see if there's something besides that they feel perhaps poland and romania are in the spirit of influence but we wanted to see if there's actual technical concerns what we found is that the phased adaptive approach to missile defense is broken up into two parts number one and number two where the low potency

interceptors the block one interceptors are on line and phases three and four where the higher speed interceptors will be brought online and our analysis shows if the system is reconfigured a little bit that it will have some ability against russian i.c.b.m. so there is some legitimate concern from from the russian side as to the technical ability in principle off the system being able to intercept russian i.c.b.m. in the report you argue that the u.s. doesn't really need the last two phases could you expand on that it's sort of a paradox because. even neither of the first phases nor the second phases would really have an ability against rogue state i.c.b.m.'s anybody who can make ballistic missiles can also put decoys on the missile to overcome the defenses you could put for instance inflatable balloons that appear to the radar sensors and to the imaging sensors on the intercept vehicle as warhead so you overwhelm the system so it's easy to defeat the system and we won't be getting anything extra by going

to the higher potency interceptors the block to interest. which are due to come online after twenty eighteen so neither the first two phases nor the second two phases will have much inherent ability against the rogue state threat you make two very important points that the effectiveness of the intercept various is arguable from a scientific point of view and b. that this could push the russians and possibly the chinese to try and restore some kind of balance by arming themselves more of these things that those arguments can be could be discarded by decision makers in washington well apparently they have already. it's sort of a puzzle because the system itself has never actually been tested under realistic conditions so it's never actually been you know for instance a salvo of missiles that incorporate countermeasures and decoys it's never really been tested against that the timing of the tests has always been known to the

intercepting so the intercept team knows exactly the trajectory that the. that the missile is incoming on and they know the exact timing so of course in the case of north korea or iran that will not be the case furthermore most seriously perhaps the most of the system is based on ships now these ships have never been tested in rough weather in fact when. the u.s. a one ninety three satellite was being intercepted a few years back it was called off for a couple of days because the weather was too rough for the for the cruisers so this is a known weakness in the system. but you know from the planners side they have to see perhaps there will be some technological surprise in the future maybe they'll be many more interceptors maybe they'll be a different administration so from the military planners in china and russia they have to pretend or plan for the worst pretend like the system works where is it can

be easily overcome and has never been realistically tested the russians have been quite interesting. stand in for us in saying ok if it's not against us let's do it together the response that they get is always a polite no no you know they are told yes we will cooperate but not on equal terms what do you make i mean i think it's in some ways it's a natural response because. it's hard to get full cooperation when russia is not officially part of nato but i would say even both in the u.s. and in russia the people asking for cooperation before you do that the most important thing is to make sure the system works you know you don't want to cooperate on something that can easily be defeated by iran or north korea it's important to understand that these intercepts of the missile occur in space so there's no air

resistance there so you can spread out any kind of balloons shards of metal all of these things travel with the warhead in space because there's no resistance so you're if you can deceive the defenses very simply so i would say before all the political people asking for cooperation go too far this should be a study where there is this system can in fact work in real combat conditions not in a very rigged test as it's been conducted today but still you know you see in the report you touch upon that technical aspect and then for russia's concerns but from what i've been covering him for what i understand the more important part of precious frustration over america's missile defense plan is that to say yes to cooperation on equal terms and. do you think that should be part of the discussion. surely should be part of the discussion and it should but you know if there is

a priority first you get a system that works and then you cooperate on it so. i think there's a time for cooperation. but before that perhaps we can get maybe make it work together you know yeah exactly so we could get the technical people in russia together with the technical people in the us and we can all brainstorm on ideas but but that's not happening so you know there's various people have proposed different systems that might work ted post of mit my colleague has proposed a drone base system so you'd have drones circling around north korea for instance and this would be a threat to russia of course because it's located around north korea and when they see a missile being launched they were captured before it releases its warhead in space then they could home in on the hot exhaust coming out of the you know boosting missile it's called the boost phase defense but apparently it's not been picked up by the pentagon and it's not being studied by anybody else so i think we need to

get the technical people to cooperate once it's a good system is there then we can get the political people perhaps to cooperate. there is an opinion that there is this hawkish mentality that flourished under the bush administration pushing for more defense spending and many say it continues under obama do you think that a costly missile defense program arguable effectiveness could be pushed forward by this kind of hawkish mentality by the dangling security threats. i mean surely there is inertia in the system when 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 have 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 should. assertion to the obama administration the. this is raised all sorts of red flags in russia the new system there's something interesting i've read. the house defense bill and it funds and mandated to administration to conduct a study on the technical and operational feasibility of space based interceptors that's from one of the papers here space based interceptors that sounds an awful lot like. plans which the american physical society concluded was a hoax but nonetheless billions of dollars are spent on research he says that the current myself defense program also could turn into a hole where money goes and disappears despite what the scientists are saying well space based defense has been proven to be not a feasible idea because you would need so many interceptors and these would be in

orbit now people have an idea that things are stationary in orbit they're not in low earth orbit they're moving very fast so they're not over any one region for very long the consequence of that is that you need many many many interceptors and for instance a whole you can create a hole in the defenses by just shooting a prior missile to get the local interceptors to to intercept one and then for the future you have a big hole in your defense that you can. that you can use to send a missile through so scientists know that why are they spending money on it i think as far as i know there is not actually money being spent right now on developing it but there is the defense still authorized and they're studying the concept they're not actually building it as far as i know at the moment but it's definitely proven proven to be feasible idea and it's not just the american physical society various
