dot com. grow more vocal in their opposition to a code for us the military side in northern england inspired by the reagan era star wars project by saying they have a right to know what's going on. the shutters are up in denmark as the country passes a strict new laws on border controls which have already governments european neighbors who say it might violate agreements on visa free travel. and libyan officials say they've intercepted two ships carrying belgian made weapons and see khadafi rebels sold in violation of a u.n. embargo on arms trafficking into the war torn country. it is just after five pm here in moscow you with

a real research show that calls for independence from the us a militarization not 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 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 who are demanding independence from america this 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 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 ballistic missiles as in poland and the czech republic where the u.s. also planned to site bases locals who 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 a tall 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 embody soiree can envisage dimly 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. this london bring it but under the control of the british government and its people it's not working they as men with hell becomes part of the missile defense shield it's building another goes full satellite strike so bringing the total to thirty three despite some local and national opposition growing not reducing the us is influence in europe. menwith hill. now the prospect of a u.s. led missile defense shield in europe is also set alarm bells ringing off here in moscow nato is failing to provide legal guarantees that the system one 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. the bush plan was first discarded by president obama when he came into power there is no longer a 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. this is raised all sorts of red flags in russia. and i know that an interview is about ninety minutes away here or not he now strictly border controls are to be implemented in denmark as the country's parliament has voted in favor of permanent new legislation it will mean more security checkpoints at the country's ports and at its border with germany some e.u. officials have already condemned the move saying it might contradict mainland europe's

much of vaunted open border agreement we're going to show explains. 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 agreement 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 not 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 illegal migrants is particularly better 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 really in france actually do come mostly from the north an 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. he's going to. show a spokesman from the danish people's party who have been pushing for these strict immigration laws so europe face up to its problems with integration. the idea of

open borders throughout europe has shown to be a utopia and we have the choice there of you to europe here idea for reality that's really been the real world we 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. idea disintegrating i can see they're happening all over the place not only it didn't work we might just be the first one to take steps to avoid further problems for our country the e.u. as an idea as an ideology is disintegrating and on our website r.t. dot com where asking for your opinion about what the revival of border controls between even 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 at 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 unworkable. libyan officials say they've seized two ships on route from qatar carrying a weapons intended and he could definitely 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 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 were involved we know that for example some of the brits and some somalia whence to libya for training within

the last two or three years just documents we have the 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 i think we are effectively arming al-qaeda. now i ten minutes past the hour here in moscow you with r.t. and a lot more still to come in the program including a brand new ways to satisfy china's energy energy hunger while some kind of siding against nuclear future following the fukushima disaster china is searching for advanced technology to make the tonic power safe. and put on the children with the red condition no fragile skin down there but hope to improve treatment for the problems in russia. president dmitri medvedev that has visited russia's in north caucuses to discuss the state of human rights that and to outline his views on the threats of extremism and intolerance that's not going to it's going to get

the latest on this you go to hello us 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 did it focused on the role of the civil society in comedy terrorism in resolving and preventing ethnic conflicts and also be talked to down to the investigation looking into the death of all this if game of any steelworker was accused all for being the mastermind behind 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 i'm on the right focus and the president's council on human rights has been holding its own a separate investigation looking into the circumstances all these deaths down circle 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 results just one of the latest example of this examples of this is the death of a beautiful gun of a former russian the army officer who was killed after having to having been found guilty of killing a chechen girl. after serving his sentence he was released and was killed just around a month ago and although now it's still not clear who is responsible for this murder that incident did cause a wave all for racially connected activities among several nationalist groups in russia problem still exists in the country and also we talk about terrorism and the caucasus this meeting is being held was being held in the caucuses of the border region. will have been quite active there over the past few years just this year old up to russia he put our troops will buy you over three hundred militants or eliminate in fact just starting from the fifth of july they're

now starting a new major and to tear up the region in the gulf as well which is going to last for the next five months or so you go to the russian president covering a broad range of issues that you could pursue going to thank you want to forget we also have a plenty of other stories available for you on our website that's on t.v. dot com some of them look right now and see what's waiting for you there at the moment how it lays a pen so become considered as dangerous as guns in russia's republic of chechnya whose leader has banned the devices. and catches up with an italian model you can make a stone magically stay afloat and even fly it's very interesting i find out how i don't know what page dot com.

now the accident at japan's fukushima facility triggered safety fears around the world it forced some countries to think twice about using nuclear energy but for energy hungry china it seems its demands are so high there's simply no alternative as henry morton 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 much safer the chinese are investing millions in research into reactors powered by the element floor in 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 thore and is

greater than from uranium the by products from using thore and less toxic than from uranium and it's much harder to make weapons from those my products. 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 other alternative energy supplies nuclear power is seen as the best bet by the chinese government the problem facing authorities is trying to convince a sometimes. 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 it maybe showing the rest of the world a new path to clean energy henry morton altie beijing it's now a quarter past the hour here in moscow you 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 cannes that new york

a sex assault case is reportedly on the verge of collapse as prosecutors question his accuser's credibility for the analysis now on earth strauss kahn situation we're now joined by by bob ellis a political writer and commentator thank you for joining us today so these are these new sexual assault charges emerged just as the new york a started to fall apart is there a connection here to some the timing might seem a bit suspicious i would think so. it's reasonably clear that. strauss kahn was set up. at the circus he interests or probably. some member of the c.e.o. does not quite understand what the word socialist country means we. can. work out certain. sure. i think that.

if this girl my mom had it. so i wish which girl are you referring to unifying to the first one on the second one. if she had a case of attempted rape she would have to establish that little door was locked and that the door stayed locked too. so now she broke the door down and it seems very unlikely it seems unlikely as you say but so you're mentioning moments ago about the possible political motives behind this political assassination was a term that was used for these cases by one of stars cons associates and one teammate of the conspiracy theories that he got into trouble because of his actions at the 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 way or as a resistance to french money or indeed

a european being legged of the i. doubt that somebody from the american continent would seize that crown source. erhart think of the great possibility of it so that any left wing person in charge of france really distresses the americans or the greater part of the american establishment and that the almost certain probability that he would get there. would have stirred them to some action of this kind i think first cases blown out of the water but over what one needs to do or jihad was perhaps i had a great deal for what you did by force as we do. now bob ellis a political writer and commentator live from sydney thank you very much and good.

well it's a rare and incurable disease and the russian sufferers say it's ignored by the medical establishment known as b. it means children have skin so delicate that even just a simple touch can break it arteries a diary pushed over has met the family took up being with us and you may find some of the images in this report disturbing. she likes dancing and no one would guess the amount of pain lisa goes through to make these simple movements liza has a rare genetic condition a bigger most is below or 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 lisa are known as butterfly children however in russia it's as if they don't exist right you're looking at 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 lizzie is only five but she already knows her diagnosis better than any doctor her mother knows there is no cure with proper medication her daughter could lead an almost normal life but it's way too expensive what is new 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 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 are all of 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 would do anything to make her daughter's life long unhappy. she's my beautiful and long specter princess and if there is a plea that can hurt my princess i'll take them all away no matter what the cost. 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 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 lisa they all dream of one day waking up to a life without paying. r.t. moscow so i that's the news update for now here with r.t. but next it's going to be kareena giving you the business in just a few moments to start. those. little pellets the international sanctions those two takes place in paris on july ninth and tenth. to slim introductions by russian designers to the most

beautiful xander city of central russia. and live in fear children function surely slim is like presiding over the crest of a. wrestling. business. hello welcome to business this out good to have you with me rating agencies are playing hardball with greece that it and poor's say they would consider a plan by french banks to roll over privately held greek bonds as a default french banks the biggest holders of greek sovereign debts have proposed to ring new bonds when they mature louise cooper from b g c partners says a bailout is not the onset economic reform is the key to its financial health. if you look at the amounts of debt 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 of 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 week to week is almost. means we forget about the underlying core problems of the economy that need to be addressed . there are some back north stream gas supply project has hit a problem a german court has suspended construction of a pipeline which would connect it with the european gas network people in the german town of lunenburg claim the pipeline is not secure enough north stream is

now considering an alternative route analysts believe it's not a big problem but there may be other similar objections. taking a look at the markets now oil prices are climbing this hour holding a two day drop that's on speculation that there's growing demand for oil in both states and china the world's two largest energy users likes what is trading at ninety six dollars a barrel and brant is that over one hundred thirteen dollars a barrel. and europe stock markets are flocks traders remain cautious over the elephant for greece then following reports that china could hike interest rates as soon as this weekend. and the autism isaacson. trading what positive let's have a look at some individual travels on the minds that energy majors are on the decline this hour dragged by oil prices from is down almost a percent. bank is continuing its losing streak taking from monday chaz one point two percent down noisemaker was bucking the trend adding around point eight percent
