tourists grow more vocal in their opposition to a covertly u.s. military site in northern england inspired by the reagan era star wars project and saying they have a right to know what's going on. the shutters are up in denmark as the country passes strict new laws on border controls which have already cause i go from its european neighbors to save my file eight agreements on visa free travel. and libyan officials say they've intercepted two ships carrying a belgian made weapons for anti kadafi rebels in violation of what you went and bought they want to arms trafficking to the water one country.

with all to you live from moscow i'm rory sushi welcome to the program coles full independence from a us military has a shot at getting louder in britain one of america's most trusted strategic allies peace activists have targeted a top secret u.s. military base in the u.k. which is if you become part of a european missile defense shield they say britain barely knows what's going on there it's putting the country's security risk. 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 ukase yorkshire dales where if you were demanding 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 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 only 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 the 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 in bodies what reagan in visit in the early warning missile detection system that was dubbed the star wars program it's secretive based for 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. name this land and bring it back under the control of the british government and its people it's not working they as men with help becomes part of the missile defense shield it's building another goes satellite strike so bringing the total to thirty three despite local and international opposition growing not reducing the u.s. is influence in europe your avatar see menwith hill yorkshire the prospect of a u.s.

alleged missile defense shield in europe is also set alarm bells ringing right here in moscow nato is failing to provide legal guarantees that the system won't be aimed at russia and it's also rejected proposals for a joint shield later this hour we hear from a leading american scientist who says obama's administration is continuing bush era policy. where bush plan was first discarded by president obama when he came into power there is a lot of. new things 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 raise all sorts of red flags in russia. so our five minutes past the hour here in moscow stricter border controls are to be implemented in denmark as the country's parliament has voted in favor of permanent new legislation it will mean that more security checkpoints at the country's ports

and at its border with germany are some evil officials have already condemned the move saying it might contradict mainland europe's much vaunted open border agreement these are going to go to school explains. but genius officials insist that this is to prevent drug flow ends of legal 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 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 both tile 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 these officials insist that this will not cause any 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 disputes of course the problem of illegal 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 could do flood countries like denmark belgium or it's only in france actually do come mostly from the northern african region so busy particular move by the danish officials may actually send quite a worrisome signal to other european countries who may also follow suit. are those who talk more about this when i was joined by short of

a son from your danish people's party who's been pushing for these a stricter laws on immigration thank you for joining us today so the new measures have not been voted through in a colloquy being implemented but just to violate the principles of the show zone agreement with freeview to try. which applies among many european countries where i go and certainly doesn't think so our government has stated at least showing in treaty i must say that the idea of open borders throughout europe has shown to be a utopia and we have had the choice of you the european idea or reality as we did in the real world you can see what comes across our borders and not least at least what is leaving denmark it was stolen goods have increased we cannot sit and just watch that happen that's why we have introduced the border control so you talk about it the stealing of goods you talk about is utopia utopian world what else what is it that denmark is so afraid of that you have to come down the borders like this we are not afraid just want to be certain better but in what

comes into the country is something we want into the country we don't want drugs we don't want weapon smuggling we don't want people who come here in a wrong aaron we don't want people also to leave the country was stolen goods we can have to look at how people's interests well if you are just like the normal european person even in germany you see and hold whelming understanding for that in his position he cannot live in utopia if it means that our country and our people are not safe now you mention of the issue of drugs and weapons you don't want those those in in denmark but i mean come on let's get down to it isn't it isn't it about immigrants and and multiculturalism that multiculturalism has failed. i don't think we should come down to it i'm telling you the truth and what the reason is for this i mean we are introducing a core control with passports we would like to see that you know but it's not a bit of treaty and the government and the agreement what we're doing is

introducing a control goods that also means that people who come here in an illegal errand smuggling in drugs they get taken by the police i think that's only for a purpose for. good but now i johnny's foreign minister has already said that denmark's new laws endanger e.u. cooperation while our are the e.u. officials have also criticized the middle we're seeing a split do you think among the european union on this issue there's no doubt about it i mean as i said in the beginning this is what happens when this system with the idea is you know overtaken by the reality the same thing we see with europe the instruction of europe even encroaches said there weren't meant to have it every year and could you away you see the e.u. . kissinger i can see they're happening all over the place not only and we might just be the first ones who take steps to avoid further problems for our country but

you are right the e.u. has an idea as an ideology if you like is this integrated now i know you mentioned the issue of the euro and where the money going to come from to support are these new custom controls or you think it's reasonable to use our public funding at a time when and the eurozone is just teetering on the brink well i think that the safety and security for our people cannot be paid until course we pay what's necessary these introduction of dollar controls and so to around about one hundred six million danish kroner. at least the. price price to pay for for security and safety across people now there's been an influx of immigrants to the e.u. from the middle east and north africa after the ongoing unrest there do you think the e.u. is not paying a price for that. well the influx of people for all of africa i mean are the group the rebel so me today it's only very much to start the year in problem i believe

you're probably between so you know for us especially most of the people are coming from northern africa once they go to france because many of them speak french so there is a problem that has got nothing to do with this or if i'm totally sure enough to give me something about running very. in time to do you think other members of the e.u. should follow suit and do what denmark is doing by tightening up the borders let's say you like the germans it's me surely you do that already you go to the all the bits of brooklyn you will for a good to see if we will all across germany is already doing what they accuse us to do. all right out on a person who's the danish people's party spokesman on foreign affairs many things well a lot a lot more still to come in the program here we're not seeing cluing a brand new ways to satisfy china's energy hunger while a some countries are deciding against a nuclear future following the fukushima disaster china's searching for advanced

technology to make atomic power safer. and the report on the children are with the red condition often front jock's skin and a battle zone from treatment for the problem here in russia. libyan officials say they have seized two ships on route from qatar carrying weapons intended for antique rebels said to have been carrying over one hundred belgian made assault rifles along with thousands of rounds of ammunition so far only the french have admitted to supplying weapons to libya's anti government forces brian johnson thomas a former arms trafficking expert for the un security council says that breaking the ants in bako may lead to dire consequences. that 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 arms to both sides were embargoed we know that for example some of the militants from somalia and went to libya for training within the last two or three years just 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. now if they stuff together we have plenty more of our stories are available on our website at twenty four seven just going to put r.t. dot com here's a quick look at what's there right now things that can become considered as dangerous as guns in the russian republic of chechnya these leader has banned the prices. at r.t. catches up with a tally in marble marble you can make a stone and magically stay afloat and even lie about at our web page our to.

our fourteen minutes past the hour here in moscow the accident i took pans fukushima facility triggered safety fears all around the world forcing some countries to think twice about using nuclear energy but the energy hungry china it seems is their minds are so high there's simply no alternative as a henry moore reports it's focusing instead on developing new technologies to make atomic plants safer 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 and 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 you see your story and based reactors certainly have advantages its release from thore and

is greater than from uranium but why products from using story and i was toxic come from uranium and it's much harder to make weapons from those my products for years about. 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 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 tentative 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 a jittery public 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 they may be showing the rest of the world a new path to clean energy and rewards an ati aging. well now the effects of the fukushima crisis are continuing to manifest themselves in various areas including japanese politics japan's disaster reconstruction not sumatra has resigned only a week into the post this comes after his visit to an area hit by marches tsunami

and earthquake then it not so much it scolded the local governor and threatened to withhold aid to the region if we didn't provide a clear plan for reconstruction the former ministers behavior and good local people and japan's most prominent opposition party dubbed it an affront to all earthquake victims. a smaller private boat has reportedly slipped past the greek sailing boat and only guards about humanitarian efforts allowed to come just a day after several larger ships attempted to break through the blockade but will return to port after being boarded by armed soldiers activists claim that israel is taking advantage of the economic crisis in greece to prevent them from leaving a similar mission just over a year ago ended with nine people being killed by israeli commandos stormed the flotilla. a rocket attack in baghdad has killed four iraqis and injured of ten others militants fired into the city's green zone an area housing government buildings around the u.s. and british embassies the attack came in late at night as americans start

celebrating the fourth of july it hit a residential complex for laborers who were working at a local hotel. now how far can you go to talk people out of war five hundred miles was the distance walked by a military journalist who saw the events in iraq firsthand and felt he had to do something about it you cannot watch a story coming up at fifteen hundred g.m.t. hear one r.t. . i'm spending the year in iraq is a military journalist. on the ways to go in a news conference is there's kind of wasting their time trying to get killed. i thought oh willing to do the. twenty seven days to publicize it invited to write in the hope the people who started

the base have a dialogue just. changing the slogan or waiting instance. to . twenty minutes past the hour now here in our moscow it's a rare and incurable disease and in russia sufferers say it's ignored by the medical establishment known as b. it means that children have skin so delicate that even just a simple touch can break it off he started pushed gaga has not the families who are coping with the illness are mind and i find it some of the images are stopping. she likes dancing and no one would guess the amount of pain liza goes through to make a simple movements liza has a rare genetic condition that bitter moses blows up or even that makes her skin less than as a butterfly wing a slight 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 liza are known as butterfly children however in russia it's as if they don't exist roger cook book of 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 do you with a chain you please is only five which 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. it's such a rare disease that it's pretty much been forgotten about there's no states the court so there's no money and no specialists. yelled one of those 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. thought 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 thursdays of her life was taken care of properly according to international standards when she was twenty five days old i took her away for environ 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 an idiot 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 juist says life expectancy for such kids in russia is very

low and she would do anything to make her daughter's life long than happy. that she's my beautiful along specters princess and if there is a key that can hurt my princess i'll take them away no matter what the cost. julie is also behind a new treat at foundation to help other children 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 status as a sign of christ she told me her biggest dream then maybe 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 real dream of one day waking up to a life without playing barea show up r.t. not scale from her of lectures or the latest in the world of business with free.

hello and welcome to business good to have you with us raising agencies are playing hardball with greece per say they would consider a plan by french banks to roll over privately held greek bonds as a default french banks because holders of greek sovereign debt from those three new bonds are the mature who is cooper from b g c partners says a bailout is not the answer economic reform is the key to its financial health if you look at the amounts of debt that greece has we've already had one hundred ten billion bailout package remember this is a country of only 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 entrepreneurs 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 to just get to greece financially solvent from sort of week to week is almost. means we forget about the underlying core problems of the economy that need to be addressed. the russian backed north stream gas supply project has hit a problem a german court has suspended construction of a pipeline which would connect with the european gas network people in the german town of la. claim the pipeline is not secure enough and the stream is now considering an alternative route believe it's not a big problem but there may be other similar objections. knows if you look at how the markets are doing or prices are climbing this on the impact on the i e i a

decision to release to t.v. crews seems to be fading. now in europe stock markets are flat traders remain cautious over the alpha look for greece and reports that china could hike interest rates as soon as we can. and in russia the obvious of them isaacs are mixed a solid trading flat positive let's have a look at some individual shadows on the rise expand energy majors shares out on the decrease the solid drag by lower oil prices gas problem is the most ever sat down and review bank is continuing its losing streak taking from monday shares are one point four percent lower this hour nicolaides part of the trend and a third of. russia's flagship stock exchange now is a extending its trading hours opening bell will sound an hour earlier from the first of september it's hoped it will better fill the gap between asian and european markets it's also close fifteen minutes later to let traders price an

american used in your opening hours will be from six thirty to four pm london. the last four seasons under way in central gaza and people are stocking up on protection and provisions but you're all just predict effects will spread further than normal and that smoke could reach moscow over the next few days insurance companies say they're getting ready to feel. last year the main problem was that a lot of people didn't have their property in shoot therefore we saw in the media twenty to thirty percent increase in demand and growth was one hundred twenty percent in the first quarter of this year alone with people more actively ensuring countrysides relisted last year will create one hundred and eighty million roubles both on cases so now we are preparing for a new wave. of course because high tech research harbors welcoming its first residence skulk of us tells are enjoying tax benefits which i hope will start out
