celebration at this top secret u.s. military base here it's a little piece of america in the heart of the u.k. so you actually tales where it. mom doing independence from america this place symbolizes what's wrong with the special relationship between britain and united states here we have a base that's on u.s. control which the british government and british people have no control men with 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 a ballistic missiles as in poland and the czech republic where the u.s. also plan to cite bases locals who worry that having
3:03 am
a facility here would 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 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 importance what reagan in visit in the early warning missile detection system that was dubbed the star wars program it's 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 it around the country they want to reclaim this land and bring it back under the control. the british government and
3:04 am
its people it's not working they menwith hill becomes part of the missile defense shield it's building another goes to satellites try to bring the total to thirty three despite some local and national opposition growing not reducing the u.s. influence in europe your abbots menwith hill yorkshire. russia's wanted to join you rypien missile shield solution for some time but it's still falling on 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. and bush plan was first discarded by president obama when he came into power there was a lot of hope the new thing would be more agreeable to the russians right now the actual numbers instead of being less of a concern going from the bush administration to the obama. this is raised all sorts
3:05 am
of red flags in russia. demarcus to bring the barriers bag down on those borders with germany and sweden the moves now going down well with e.u. colleagues who say violates europe's much heralded open border agreement. reports on how it signals warring times ahead of where the block. the thing is 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 by the e.u. officials in brussels and especially by its neighbor germany they insist that this is a violation of the get agreements all of the open borders in europe and they also say that this is not a wise move at all to make during
3:06 am
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's euro 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 illegal migrants is particularly better one right now for the european union earlier this year france and italy have and sort of 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 us the 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 it's only in france actually do call mostly from the north in the african region so this particular move by the danish officials may actually send
3:07 am
quite a worrisome signal to other european countries who may also follow suit. warning there and i still have for you this hour here in the end it is not over for dominique 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 their 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 itself the load included about one hundred belgian made assault rifles along with thousands of rounds of ammunition so far only the french admit to supplying weapons to libya as a government forces brian johnson thomas a former arms trafficking expert for the un security council says it's
3:08 am
a dangerous violation of the arms embargo. that seems to me very strange we're going to go into it through all the arms embargo was laid down by the security council was quite clear that it was both sides were involved we know that for example some of the brits and some somalia when she libya for training within the last two or three years plus documents we have the floor records and everything else so it seems strange in many ways the whole western support for some of the rebel groups in libya must be questioned because in some cases of it we are effectively arming al qaeda. for months on nato sports racket intervention in libya has yet to yield its desired result even as the alliance battles accusations of violating its un mandate political blogger rick ross 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 i have no in people including with nato itself or the
3:09 am
knowledge of those five thousand combat missions if it's not a war. you know it is this is not simply a question of protecting libyan civilians from the government violence and so forth this is a concerted long term military action or 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 the field on the street in a movie or i think you know we can do this for you if you're a minor points of contention but i think we should not be confused about working through the nature of the word through your views if you. middle east expert thinks the west rush to support the opposition leader without really assessing who they are. who they believe that the national president transition from feel has been not really been misused and you know needs to be included and you political from peter gration yeah i don't think so and i also think that most of the good members of congress can be suborned. our full conversation with barmaid hell is on our website

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 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 i but kind of made him a target for. the establishment but it just seemed like meanwhile the new hand of the international monetary fund is officially beginning the job former french finance minister christine legarde one overwhelming backing of the i.m.f. last week having begun their soko central bank governor there is a for the first woman to take the funds top job with the financial struggles and

3:16 am
radiation has been detected in the thyroid's of almost half of all children living near japan's fukushima facility authorities are continuing to study the health effects of the nuclear crisis which sent safety shutters around the world some like germany have already pledged 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 florian and 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 i use a year with thorin based reactors certainly have advantages release from thore and
3:17 am
is greater than from the arena and the y. products from using thore in a less toxic than from uranium and it's much harder to make weapons from those by products. that public outcry following the problems at the fukushima plant led to beijing putting a freeze on approvals for 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
3:18 am
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 though is trying to convince a sometimes. republic but nuclear energy is a safe alternative so they are investing millions of dollars into foreign research like this in order to troy in lieu those fears to rest in so doing you may be showing the rest of the world a new paltz to clean energy and we will all see you. a brief look at a couple of international headlines now britain's prime minister is in afghanistan for a two day visit to k. troops there but david cameron's plans to celebrate progress in fighting insurgents have been marred after a soldier was captured and executed by the taliban cameron's visit comes just
