spy old sebald just want to be over for your media projects celio dardar t. dot com. back .

welcome back a reminder of the top stories here on our t.v. british activists mark us in the pounds day with protests demanding the closure of an american spy base in england which is due to be a part of the star wars type missile shield your concern it's a step toward the self-serving american militarization of space. denmark's border barriers are coming back with custom chads designed to tackle drug smuggling and illegal immigration but it's angered e.u. colleagues who say it violates the cornerstone of european unity. and even 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 get out in force its.

next r t discusses the missile shield plans that are driving a wedge between moscow and washington. i. for what i understand russians are not against all interceptors they are against the 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 the narrative 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 their sphere of influence but we wanted to see if there's actual technical concerns what we found is that the phase

adaptive approach to missile defense is broken up into two parts number one and number two where that low potency interceptors the block one interceptors are online and phases three and four where the higher speed interceptors will be brought on line 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 of 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 the first phases nor the second phases would really have an ability against rogue state i.c.b.m.'s anybody who can make the list of missiles can also put decoys the missile to overcome the defenses you can put for instance inflatable balloons that appear to the radar sensors into 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 to block to interest. which are due to come online after twenty or 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 interceptors 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 you know for instance of missiles that incorporate compromisers and it's never really been tested against that the timing. has always been known to the

intercepting so the intercept team knows exactly the trajectory 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 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 persistent in forgiveness and 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 can deceive the defenses very simply so i would say before all the political people asking for cooperation go too far there should be a study of whether this system can in fact work in real combat conditions not in a very rigged test as it's been conducted today 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 the and from what i understand the more important part of precious frustration over american missile defense plan is that we say yes to cooperation on. terms and. do you think that should be part of the discussion well surely it should be part of the discussion and it should but you know there's a priority first to 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 postol of mit my colleague has proposed a drone based 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 than they could home in on the hot exhaust coming out of the you know the boosting missile it's called the boost phase 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 in talks about there is an opinion that there is this. 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 rather than 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 administration to the obama administration the. this

is raised all sorts of red flags in russia the new system there's something interesting i read. the house defense bill and it funds and mandated ministration to go. the study on the technical and operational visibility of space. that's from one of the papers. that sounds an awful lot like. plans which the american physical society concluded was a hoax but nonetheless billions of dollars were spent on research he said that the current missile defense program also could turn into a hole where money goals 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 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 why are they spending money on it i think as far as i know there's not actually money being spent right now on developing it but there is the defense feel authorized that 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 officers technical officers of air force u.s. air force have also looked into it and shown that it's overly expensive and it's

a team have lifted the european champions cup for a fourth time in a row and it means the moscow region side have won the tournament every year since it began robert daniel has their story. the rugby sevens european champions cup was four years old the same two teams had fought out the last three finals both of them russian the cup holders fifty eight but most korea would be their competitors from the celts twenty ten domestic champions you krisna better the stand around they came across each other in the sammis but that didn't affect the outcome. v but moscow where will quick to break the deadlock scoring a couple of tries early in the game the russian national team skipper dmitry bit off adding in no one here to give the most a region such a faith in the advantage the game was completely dominated by it but must go via only let their opponents produce a single try setting the final score of twenty two for the second semifinal so

another russian team empiria based in a share group are sending friends with both sides giving their all to when it was imperial and finally battled it out to the final. earn their share of owners after beating you chris nagar then claiming third place the i and that's how it came to the old russian decider with some watching and others just learning the sport on their moons knees and once again maybe but most korea promptly showed they had no equal in the tournament the first choice scored by aleksandr it was converted into seven points by me to put off owing a couple more tries and conversions the cup holders took a stunning twenty two to nothing lead. it seemed overworked but imperious used to give up proving rugby is always about fighting to the end. and

sometimes their expense of injuring your opponent although but my school year was keen to stick it out in one with a final score twenty eight twenty one to stay the only big tour the european champions cup has ever seen so for and undisputedly the best club russia has to offer my god those necco and you have to give a lot of credit to our opponents they looked great throughout the entire tournament and gave it all in the finals but it's no secret that the v.a. put most of your results baseline for the national team and we've got more international experience. it would be great for the tournament to have teams from england in other countries where rugby is one of the most popular sports that most of those who took part in the event are very tough opponents fucked an impressive achievement by russia's top club which is no a fourth term european champions cup winner although some tougher competition for the trophy is just

a matter of time new teams are in talks to draw in next year. robert jordan on r.t. moscow. and we will end with some pictures from an extreme sport because american lands cory has won the swatch free for star f. and next contest in space then we're talking about motorbikes here in case you're wondering his breathtaking jumps were considered by the judges to be the best of the day it was the fourth time at the event the twenty one year old he's come in the top grade for his previous three appearances but this time he managed to agag all his rivals to take on this. final. and that brings us to the end of the sports move a bit later on next hour it's the earth. we'll. bring you the latest in science and technology from around russia.
