one pm in the russian capital you're watching our team. ferguson in the pan as they march whether a difference this time it's the british trying to drive the americans out of a major military facility it's due to become part of a missile to fan shield similar to the eighty's star wars project as well or at reports activists demanding the base be taken off british soil accuse the us of following cold war criteria. it's no ordinary fourth of july 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 yorkshire dales where it's christians who are demanding independence from america this space symbolizes what's wrong with the special relationship between

britain and the united states here we have a base that's on u.s. control the british government and british people have no control menwith hill is the largest intel gathering and surveillance base 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 planned to site bases 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 of former u.s. president ronald reagan's dream as his statue is unveiled in london on monday menwith hill embodied reagan in visit in the early warning missile detection system that was dubbed the star wars program it 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 his 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 help 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 reducing the u.s. is influence in europe. menwith hill yorkshire. russia's wanted

a joint european missile shield solution for some time but is 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 scientists says obama's team are rolling along with bush era policies. 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 instead of being less of a concern going from the bush administration to the obama assertion. this is raised all sorts of red flags in russia. the free flow across europe suborders has hit the buffers was danmark pledging to restore checkpoints at crossings from germany and sweden e.u.

colleagues are furious saying it violates europe's much heralded open border agreement i just read english who reports on how it signals warring times ahead for the blog. but danish 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 why the e.u. officials in brussels and especially by denmark's neighbor germany they insist that this is a violation of the good agreements 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

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 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 who do flood countries like denmark belgium or italy and france actually do come mostly from the north and 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. we're going to go to report in there now still ahead for you this hour the agony 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 way or skin disease who are deprived of state support for the air 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 levy an 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 we're going about it and i thought the arms embargo was laid down by the security council was quite clear that it was to both sides were involved we know that for example

some of the minutes and some somalia and went to libya for training within the last two or three 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 it will effectively are going on. for months on nato spur track to intervention and maybe has yet to yield as desired result even as the alliance battles accusations of violating its u.n. mandate by political blogger recross of believes a peace mission was never high on the coalition's priority list. thirteen thousand nato air missions over a country of six and a half million people including what nato itself acknowledges is five thousand combat missions if it's not a war. you know you've hit it this is not simply a question of the are protecting libyan civilians from or the government violence and so forth this is a concerted long term military action nato it's the world's only military boff it's

one that is in charge of the two major wars in the world right now those in afghanistan and libya i think you know we can dispute you know minor points of contention but i think we should not be confused about what the nature of the market i mean treaty organization. middle east expert mikhail thinks the west rushed to supports the oppositional media without really assessing who they are. to believe this is the national friggin transition council has enough if you can it's you and you know who needs to include the new political front you raised and. i don't think so and i don't think that most of the crew member of the congress to these bond. powerful conversation with bonnie hale is on our website right now at r t dot com. a french writer is to file charges of attempted rape against a former international monetary fund dominic strauss kahn she claims she was attacked in two thousand and two but his lawyer saving will sue for slander it's

a marist astro's 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 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. stressed crimes here that would be circus his response and the french press has taken this seriously i think he got in trouble because he began questioning the i am house 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 it kind of made him a target for. the establishment. meanwhile the new head of the international monetary fund is officially beginning the job former french finance minister christine lagarde one overwhelming backing of the i.m.f. last week having beaten mexico central bank governor but there is a full entry for the first woman to take the funds top job with the financial struggles and greens on the critical list. max kaiser and stays in her words say there is a lot in common between the greek economic troubles and america's mounting debts

here is what's to come in a kaiser report later today. said many times the i.m.f. is after the u.s. next s.m.p. one of the rating agencies who work hand in hand with these international banks toure's the managing director john chambers spoke to reuters and he said quote if the u.s. government misses the payment it goes to di di di di di that's lower than triple c. and that's what they say greece is worth triple saying well why doesn't the greek government come out with a ratings report saying america's debts were the deed therefore so your american debt you need a place to put the cash but greek debt and we'll give you a play all the options on the acropolis ourselves you don't need it i am there for the boy playing for the colinear so the acropolis regarded our service all crapulous. radiation has been detected in a thyroids of almost half of all children living near japan's fukushima facility

authorities are continuing to study the health effects of of the nuclear crisis which sent to 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 for him 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 uranium the by products from using thore in a less toxic than from uranium and it's much harder to make weapons from those my

products for that 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. 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 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 is trying to convince a sometimes. the republic 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 it maybe showing the rest of the world a new path to clean energy and we want an ati beijing. dot com is there where whenever you once for more on the stories we're covering here let's take you through what's lined up for you there. the holy round over a helicopter a warship or a russian m.p. takes to the heavens to get to the church on time but causes misery at the monastery. plus violent clashes between cossacks and the police and ukraine's

a bigger melissa's billows or or evie that makes her skin less than as a butterfly wing yes like touch or a hug can cause painful blistering that takes a long time to heal leaving the skin even more fragile. around the world sufferers like lisa are known as butterfly children however in russia it's as if they don't exist right you the thing is the doctors simply don't know of the disease and when you tell them what it is they might have heard of it but they don't know how to deal with it she knew lisa was only five but she already knows her diagnosis better than any doctor her mother knows there is no cure and with proper medication her daughter could lead an almost normal life but it's way too expensive while using it it's such a rare disease that it's pretty much been forgotten about there's no state support to there's no money and no specialists. general manager is a dermatologist and admits she's become

a specialist by default no one else is dealing with patients but the mothers say her advice can conflict with what they've learned from abroad what you thought well is a very complex disease with so few patients suffering from it any doctor that would take it up would have to become a very narrow specialist i myself am tied up in many other places so i don't have much time for these patients. two year old nasty is a clear example of what good care and access to proper treatment can do for a butterfly child her mother says she's probably the only girl in russia who from the very first days of her life was taken care of properly according to international standards when she was twenty five days old i took her away from one of the best maternity wards in the country her stomach and feet were all in the marks of the doctor's fingers are still her skin back then she did look like a newbie patient ever since nice to has lived a life of protection her medication costs roughly one hundred thousand rubles more

than three thousand dollars per month she has three people constantly looking after her including her mother julie says life expectancy for such kids in russia is very low and she was the anything to make her daughter's life long unhappy. she's my beautiful and longs back to princess and if there is a plea that can hurt my brother says i'll take them all away no matter what the cost or julie is also behind a newly created foundation to help other children now people from all over the country are calling her and it seems the number of suffering children is far greater than the previously estimated one hundred s. for louisa she bravely takes on life with a smile despite her deteriorating state as a sign of trust she told me her biggest dream then maybe a few children with this disease in russia but each of them needs all the support they can get they may have learned to live with their condition but just like lisa they'll dream of one day waking up to a life without paying. r.t.

moscow. well that brings us up to date who is here with a business to stay with us. that's right time to delve into the world of business a very warm welcome the russian north stream gas supply project has hit a problem a german court house suspended construction of a pipeline which would connect it with the european gas network people in the german town of learn about the pipeline is not secure enough not considering an alternative approach that was believe it's not a big problem but there will be other similar objections. time for a quick check on the markets oil as low of a solid international energy agency says its release of strategic courage reserves is working the decision came last month in order to compensate for supply shortages and that shut down of we've been proved experts are whether analysts see the impact
