the british who want independence from america with calls to close u.s. spy base there's been a lineup as part of a star wars titan missile shield. europe's open borders hit a dead end as denmark brings back the barriers it's angering e.u. colleagues who say it violates the cornerstone of euro unity also. in some cases that we are effectively arming al-qaeda fresh attempts to supply libyan rebels with arms at the surface such as authorities claim they've intercepted the boats loaded with weapons from qatar. and has to plan to rebuild almost half the children living in the fukushima plant had been exposed to radiation if you look at how the crisis

is leading to a new nuclear solution in neighboring china. and another hurdle has surfaced on the way of russia about pipeline project north three in the details in business about twenty minutes. a very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow role research first independence day march with 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 defense shield similar to the 1980's star wars project and as r.t. is a lore and reports activists demanding to be taken off british soil accuse us of following cold war criteria. it's no wooden reforged. 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.'s yorkshire dales where it is who are demanding independence from america this place symbolizes what's wrong with the special relationship between britain and states here we have a base that's on u.s. control which the british government and british people have. menwith 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 of police stick missiles as in poland and the czech republic where the u.s. also plan to cite bases. 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 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 service who could give you a full picture of what is happening in this case it's the culmination of former u.s. president ronald reagan's dream as his statue is unveiled in london on monday menwith hill in bodies will rake in 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 is around the country they want to reclaim this land and bring it back under the control of the big. it's government

and its people it's not working as men with hail becomes part of the missile defense shield it's building another cold satellites try to bring the total to thirty three despite some local and national opposition growing knots richie's think the us is influence in europe. menwith hill yorkshire. now russia has wanted a joint european missile shield solution for quite some time but it's still falling on deaf ears within nato as was proved at a summit in sochi the alliance also won't guarantee its own project will not target russia next hour we hear from a leading american scientist who says that obama's team are rolling along with the bush era policies. where the bush plan was first. president obama when he came into power there was no longer a whole new thing would be more agreeable to russia but now that we have actual numbers instead of being less of a concern going from the bush administration to the obama. this is raising all

sorts of red flags in russia. now five minutes past the hour here in moscow the free flow across europe supporters has hit the buffers with them not pledging to restore checkpoints and crossings from germany and sweden e.u. colleagues are furious saying it violates europe's much heralded open border agreement policies are ridiculous when i report how it signals wiring times ahead for the book. but the news 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 this is a violation of the should get 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's europe but these officials insist that this will last cause and needs 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 answered 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 a similar 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 is silly in france actually do come mostly from the northern

african region so this particular move by the disease officials may actually send quite a worrisome signal to other european countries who may also follow suit. he's really going to report it right there you're with us to have you this hour. is not quite over for dominique strauss kahn before by enough chief is about to face fresh sexual assault charges here how there's likely to be a very different kind of foul play behind the players. 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 its 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 the libyan anti government forces

brian johnson thomas a formal arms trafficking expert for the un security council says it's a dangerous violation of the arms embargo. seems to me very strange we're going about it i mean i thought the arms embargo was laid down by the security council was quite clear that it was arms to both sides who were embargoed we know that for example some of the militants from somalia went to libya for training within the last two or three years plus documented we have to fly 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 arming al-qaeda. and for months on nato as protracted intervention in libya has yet to yield its desired result even as the alliance battles accusations of violating its un mandate but political blogger believes that a peace mission was never high on the coalition's priority list. thirty thousand

niedermayer missions over a country of six american are in the phone calling would need all that sort of acknowledges this five thousand combat missions if it's not a war. you know this is not simply a question of your fraternity libyan civilians from the over the government violence and so forth this is a concerted long term military action may go 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 and libya i think you know we did this for you with the reminder of points of concern to you but i think we should not be confused for the for the nature of them or of the army through the organization. middle east expert thinks that the west rushed to support the opposition in libya without really assessing who they are. could he believe that if they don't necessarily get into transition come feel kind of you know if you can if you and you know i mean if you need rules and you political configuration again libya i don't think through and therefore can

get most of the good members of congress who feast on our full conversation with. on our website right now of course that is a party dot com. a french writer is to file charges of attempted rape against a former international monetary fund chief dominique strauss kahn she claims she was attacked in two thousand and two his lawyers say they will sue for slander it's about cancer new york a 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 a political foul play. the french press has reported that strouse current shared before you became current to the united states. he expected sark rosemary and it took a certain french warman a million euros to bring six charges against him here and he said. it was because

he was leading sarkozy in the polls for the courage presidency and that he. stressed crimes here and there would be a circus whose response and drink stress is taking this seriously i think he got in trouble because he began questioning the house use of its power to force the cost of the bailout and the banks on the backs of just ordinary people he started questioning that he was meeting in the united states with the economist joseph stiglitz he was a big critic oh way of bailing out the banks and i think he was sending signals that upset over kind of community so it may have helped him with ordinary people. made him a target for. stablished. meanwhile the new head of the international monetary fund is officially beginning the job former french finance minister christine lagarde won overwhelmingly back in the i.m.f.

last week having beaten mexico's central bank governor but there's a fool in training for the first woman to take the funds top job could be used for national struggles and of course greece on the critical test. and. say there's a lot in common between the greek economic troubles and america's mounting debts but here's what's to come in the report in about twenty minutes time. times i am half after the u.s. next s. and p. one of the rating agencies who work hand in hand with these international banks there is the managing director john chambers spoke to reuters and he said quote if the u.s. government misses a payment it goes 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 their ratings report saying america's that's what the d therefore sell your american debt you need a place to put that cast by greek debt it will give you a poor. all the options all the

a proposal you don't need to i am never going to play for the company or sell the acropolis. and you can watch the cars report about twenty minutes time well radiation has been detected in the thyroid have almost half of all children living in japan's fukushima facility authorities are continuing to study the health effects of the nuclear crisis which of course and safety shutters around the world some like germany have already pledged to close all of its plants there are countries convinced that there's a safer alternative as henry morton reports in beijing. with the global spotlight for me 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 and 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. for your ship thore and based reactors certainly have advantages dinner's the release from thore and is greater than from uranium to by products from using thore and less toxic than from uranium and it's much harder to make weapons from those like products for you that public outcry following the problems at the fukushima plant that led to beijing putting a freeze on approvals of all new nuclear power stations and safety checks that 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 other alternative 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. this republic but 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 face to rest in so doing they may be showing the rest of the world a new paul for clean energy henry paulson all see beijing and also his coming to

life in the heart of the russian capital is now a quarter past the hour here on this day whenever you want for more of the stories we're covering here let's take a look at through some of the items that are lined up for you right now and raul over a helicopter worshiper a russian and p. takes to the heavens to get to the church on time but causes a misery at the monastery. plus violent clashes between cossacks and the police in ukraine's crimea leaving dozens injured in a brawl over demolishing an orthodox across the durable. wealthy british style.

market trying to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to cause report. all right are you with r t let's check out some international headlines for you this hour at least thirty five people have been killed nearly fifty wounded in two explosions in a town north of baghdad and insurgents detonated a car bomb near a government building then as people gathered on the road a roadside bomb went off and follows a monday's attack in baghdad's embassy zone four civilians died when

a rocket was fired during independence day celebrations at the american embassy it hit a hotel workers complex and sparked a fire. britain's prime minister is promising a surge in financial aid to afghanistan despite a planned withdrawal of the u.k. troops david cameron's in the country for a two day visit where he hoped to celebrate foreign forces progress in fighting insurgents but his plans were marred after a soldier was captured and executed by the taliban. this year has sentenced former president in absentia to a fifteen year prison term for trafficking drugs weapons and archaeological artifacts a fortnight ago ben ali was convicted of investment and sentenced to thirty five years behind bars he fled to saudi arabia back in january after a month long uprising requests for his extradition back to tunisia have not been answered. well they are forgotten few the russian children suffering from a rare and incurable genetic disease which can leave them badly scarred and in

acute pain until now it's been virtually ignored by the medical establishment but one rather is hoping to change that now he warns you may find some of the images in diarrhea pushovers report upsetting. she likes dancing and no one would guess the amount of pain liza goes through to make these simple movements liza has a rare genetic condition that bitter mahler's has blows up or that makes her skin less than as a butterfly when a slide 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 could put them in the doctor's simply don't know of the disease and when you tell them what it is he might have heard of it but they don't know how to deal with it kenya he says only five which already knows her diagnosis better than

any doctor her mother knows there is no cure with problem medication her daughter could lead an almost normal life but it's way too expensive. it's such a rare disease that it's pretty much been forgotten about there's no states that pool it 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 with them others say her advice can conflict with what they've learned from abroad. well it's 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 i'm 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 a very throws 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 off and the marks of the doctor's fingers as to her skin back then she did look like a libby patient ever since and i still 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 julia says life expectancy for such kids in russia is very low and she would do anything to make her daughter's life long unhappy. that she's my beautiful and long specters princess and if there is a clue that can hurt my princess i'll take them all away no matter what the cost. julie is also behind a new 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 beds 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 there may be 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 elisa the old ring of one day waking up to a life without paying. r.t. moscow. toward an archive of his letters will give you. followers try time to delve into the world of business the very welcome rating agencies are playing hardball on greece standard and poor's say they would consider a plan by french toast or all of the privately held greek as a default french because holders of greeks or in debts have across to renewables when they mature and not joined by lose from. this hollow to lose so what

appears already grow that some kind of default may be inevitable but what you think of an answer is that the new international bailout to create push it into the g. fold actually. well as you said we saw this plan announced to great fanfare last week by president that the french banks would only ask but thirty percent of the money back for the greek state and that proved to be very popular the german banks came in at the end of the week and said yes will contribution of a couple of billion of greek debt to this plan and all see that there possibly be a way out of the quite says the private holders bank holders european banks own greek government that however that plan came to a sheltering halt when the ratings agency standard and poor's yesterday came out and said i'm sorry but if that french bank plan was implemented in our opinion that

would constitute a technical default now they say that for two reasons one greece is negotiating for the position of distress and secondly the plan would mean that the banks who owe the greek debt would effectively get less money back and those those two factors say the s.n.p. means it would be a default they're calling a spade a spade effectively. can increase find a solution or is it just to forestall the disaster what can be. changed to what can be done to change the outlook. on i find it quite interesting sitting here on the trading floor talking to the markets to the brokers to economists talking to the city the big disconnect between what all those people are saying and what you hear from the brussels elite the euro zone politicians they just everybody seems to be saying a default is inevitable greece just has where you too much debt and yet those are

the words you will never hear coming out of brussels i think the fear is unless we stop you lurching from crisis to crisis from vote to vote from one disaster to another and actually take a bigger picture view of how to deal with greece all the politicians take that bigger picture then the worries of the markets will be that you know a messy solution will eventually be imposed and i think that is the problem this disconnect between what you hear from brussels and what you hear from the real world the financial world. what is the way out some of your viewpoint. i mean i just think it's it's incredibly difficult because if you look at the amounts of debt that greece has you've already had one hundred ten billion bailout package. brussels. meeting to discover to discuss another one hundred ten hundred twenty billion euro bailout package remember this is a country where you twelve million people they just cannot afford to pay back the

level of debt that they have and the reform program is terribly important for greece making the country more productive selling off state assets reducing the size of the public sector getting private enterprise back going again that is the key to the financial health of greece and yet in a way that reform program gets ignored because we have these dramas every day we have riots we have protests we have late night votes. and all of that excitement you just get to grief from actually thought from through a week to week is almost. means we forget about the underlying core problems of the economy that need to be a draft. ok thank you very much liz cooper from b g c partners. the russian stream gets by force which has huge a problem with john suspended construction of a pipeline which would connect it with

a european gas network people in the german town of luna book claim the pipeline is not secure enough stream are now considering an alternative route others believe it's not a big problem but there may be obvious similar actions. and a quick check on the markets oil prices are climbing up this hour of the gravy i.e. a decision to release future curd reserves seems to be favoring. europe stuart markets a flat transformation course has all the outlook for greece and following reports that china type of interest rates as soon as this weekend and pretty similar picture here in russia they are two years down the minus it's what she calls it let's have a look at some of the individual share moves on the mines its energy majors shares on that increase the solid by bryce's which will lower in early trade gazprom is one point two percent down to cinching global point six percent but these banks continue its losing streak taking for a month its shares up one percent down girls nickolas up into trend edging point
