john sees life on the. video on demand. old girls and says thieves now in the palm of your. machine on the comb. cubists grow more vocal in the opposition to a covert u.s. military side in northern england inspired by the reagan era star wars project saying they have a right to know what's going on. the shutters are off in denmark as the country passes a strict new laws on border controls which have already called and governments european neighbors who say it might violate agreements on visa free travel. by libyan officials say they've intercepted two ships carrying belgian made weapons from antique about the rebels and sold in violation of a u.n. embargo on arms trafficking to the war torn country.

and it's just after five pm here in moscow you with nazi rule research show that calls for independence from the us a militarization are 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 due to become part of a european missile defense shield they say britain barely knows what's going on that putting the country's security at risk. it's no ordinary fourth of july celebration it based 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 is who are 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 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 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 was unveiled in london on monday menwith hill embodied what reagan in visit in the early warning missiles a texan 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. this lands in 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 gold satellites try to bring the total to thirty three despite local and international opposition growing not reducing the u.s. influence in europe you are at it menwith hill yorkshire. the prospect of

a u.s. missile defense shield in europe is also a long bells ringing off here in moscow nato is failing to provide legal guarantees that the system won't be aimed against russia and is also rejected proposals for a joint shield later this hour we hear from a leading american scientist who says that obama's administration is continuing bush era policies. bush plan was first discarded by president obama when he came into power there is no longer a whole new system 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 raised all sorts of red flags in russia. i know that interview was about ninety minutes away here are nazi now stripped of border controls to be implemented in denmark as the country's parliament has voted

in favor of permanent new legislation it will mean more security checkpoints so the country's ports and at its border with germany something your officials have already condemned the move saying it might contradict mainland europe so much avoided open border agreement parties are unable to show explains. the 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 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 tonight to europe but the danish officials insist that this will last cause an e 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 bell example or italy and france actually do come mostly from the northern 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. or

anything that will mean time short on experts and from the danish people's party who have been pushing for these strict immigration laws so that europe has to face up to its problems with integration. the idea of open borders throughout europe has shown to be a utopia and we have a choice there of if you do europe here hide here for reality that's really been the real world you can see what comes across our borders and not least at least for this leaving denmark it was stolen goods have increased we see the e.u. very clear this insecurity i can see that happening all over the place not only we might just be the first one to take steps to avoid further crap which for our country even as an idea as an ideology is disintegrating and on our website r.t. top com we're asking for your opinion about what the revival of border controls

between e.u. members means for the future of the union let's have a look at the stats right now and more than half think the end of the e.u. is the only way to fend off an immigration crisis eighteen percent say it's just a temporary setback in the integration process by the same number think that europe has failed to find unity in troubled times and another twelve percent say the e.u. has proved to be under. libyan officials say they've seized two ships on route from cutter carrying a weapons intended to and he could have rebels said to have been carrying over one hundred belgian made assault rifles along with thousands of rounds of ammunition so far though 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 arms embargo may lead to dire consequences. that seems to me very strange we're

going to see 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 were embargoed we know that for example some of the brits and some somalia went to libya for training with a little 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 questions because in some cases of it we are effectively arming al-qaeda now at ten minutes past the hour here and also you will not see a lot more still to come in the program including a brand new way to satisfy china's energy energy hunger while some siding against nuclear future following the fukushima disaster china is searching for advanced technology to make atomic power safer. on the children with the rare condition of fragile skin but also improve treatment for the problem in russia . president dmitry medvedev has visited russia's north caucasus to

discuss the state if human rights there and outline his views on the threats of extremism and intolerance that's not what he got was going to get the latest on. you got hello and so what can you tell us what was the president's message today. well a lot of issues were on the table at the same meeting president we did it focused on the role of the civil society in comedy terrorism in resolving and preventing absolute conflicts and also talk to balance in the investigation looking into the death of all it's a game of any steel worker who was accused all for being the mastermind behind out a massive money laundering scheme and russia was jailed but died in prison before having been found guilty of these crimes so this caused a huge wave of criticism both in russia and them on the international community and the president's council on human rights has been holding its own

a separate investigation looking into the circumstances of his death now thirteen talking about extremism of the president also said that although a lot of progress has been made in the studio over the past few years there's still a long way to go before this problem could be for a result and that's one of the latest example of this examples of this is the death of a few people down of a former russian army officer who was killed after having been having been found guilty of killing a treasure and girl and after serving his sentence he was released and was killed just around a month ago and although now it's still not clear who was responsible for this murder of that incident did cause a wave of a racially connected activities among several nationalist groups in russia so this problem still exists in the country and also we talk about terrorism and the caucasus this meeting is being held was about being held and else again the focus

is on the border region for the authorities who have been quite active there over the past few years just this year old according to russia's police chief and i froogle by you over three hundred militants were eliminated in fact just starting from the fifth of july they're now starting a new major and their operation in the gulf this is well this is going to last for the next five months time so you go to the russian president bush covering a broad range of issues that you could was going to thank you. but we also have plenty of other stories available for you on our website that's r t dot com but some of the look right now and see what's waiting for you there at the moment how it lays a pencil become considered as dangerous as guns in russia's republic of chechnya whose leader has banned the devices. catches up with an italian at marvel marvel you can make a stone magically stay afloat in even fly it's very interesting i find out how our

web page dot com. now the accident of japan's fukushima facility triggered safety fields around the world it forced some countries to think twice about using nuclear energy but for energy hungry china it seems is the mines are so high there's simply no alternative as any more 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 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. your fish thore and based reactors certainly have advantages release from the story it was created in from uranium the by products from using thore and i was toxic them from uranium and it's much harder to make weapons from lost by products it's 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 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 for the chinese government the problem facing authorities though is trying to convince a sometimes. jittery public but nuclear energy is a safe alternative so they are investing millions of dollars into thorin 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 part of the clean energy and we want an ati aging now a quarter past the hour here in moscow with our two former i.m.f.

chief dominique strauss kahn is to face fresh charges of sexual assault which have been filed by a french writer she claims she was attacked in two thousand and two because lawyers say they will sue for slander it comes as a trust carnes that new york sex assault case is reportedly on the verge of collapse as prosecutors question his accuser's credibility more for the analysis now on a car situation we're now joined by by paul ellis a political writer and commentator thank you for joining us today so these are these new sexual assault charges emerging just as the new york they started to fall apart is there a connection here that to some the timing might seem a bit suspicious i would think so i mean the it's reasonably clear works. straus crime was set up or i work. into the circus interests or probably. some. c.e.o.

i.m.f. or because he was expected to run for the french presidency we know in the polls he was doing better than sarkozy. who could be on the why there was resistance to a frenchman or indeed a european being hated but they are. and i hope that some lawyer from the american continent who sees that sort of. hardening of the great possibility of it so that any left wing person in charge of france really distresses the americans or a great part of the american establishment terms that really almost certain probability that he would get there or would have would have stood up to some action of this kind of the first cases blown out of the water who were millions trilogy and worse perhaps i had

like liza are known as butterfly children however in russia it's as if they don't exist roach 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 kenya he's 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 and almost normal life but it's way too expensive and while using it it's such a rare disease that it's pretty much been forgotten about there's no states the court to there's no money and no specialists. delmonico's a dermatologist and admits she's become a specialist by default no one else is dealing with patients with a mother say her advice can conflict with what they learned from abroad which saw well it's a very complex disease and 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 nice 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 and the marks of the doctor's fingers were still her skin back then she did look like an a b. patient ever since and i still has lived a life of protection and 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 is in russia is very low and she would do anything to make her daughter's life a long unhappy with children beautiful long expected princess and if there is

a key that can hurt my princess 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 best elisa she bravely takes on life with a smile despite her deteriorating state as a sign of christ she told me her biggest dream then maybe you 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 liza the old dream of one day breaking up her life without paying burial show up r.t. must kill so i got the news update for our reality but next it's going to be kareena giving of the business in just a few moments mr. those

a bailout is not the answer economic reform is the key to its financial house. if you look at the amounts of debt that greece has you'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 unction enterprise 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 greece financially solvent from week to week is almost. means we forget about the underlying core problems of the economy that need to be addressed
