a very warm welcome to you this is our live from moscow calls for independence from the u.s. a militarization 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 said it barely knows what's going on there therefore putting the country's security at risk. here it's a little piece of america in the heart of the u.k.'s yorkshire dales where it's britons who are demanding independence from america this symbolizes what's wrong with the special relationship between britain and united states here we have a base it's on us control which the british government. 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 a 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 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
10:03 am
u.s. president ronald reagan's dream as his statue was unveiled in london on monday menwith hill embody what 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 it 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 a. and with help becomes possible missile defense shield it's building another cold satellite strike so bringing the total to thirty three despite some local and international opposition growing not richie's think the u.s. is influencing europe you're at it see menwith hill. on the prospect of a u.s. led missile defense shield in europe is also so alarm bells are ringing here in moscow now who is failing to provide legal guarantees the system are going to be
10:04 am
aimed against russia and also rejected proposals for a joint shield they give us are we hear from a leading american scientist who says obama's administration is continuing bush era policies. when the bush plan was first discarded president obama when he came into power there was no longer a whole 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. just turning five minutes past the hour here in moscow strict 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 of the country's ports and its border with germany something you officials have already condemned
10:05 am
the move saying it might contradict mainland europe's much vaunted open border agreement parties or anything else for explains. the genius 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 by 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 all 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 these officials insist that this will not
10:06 am
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 dispute of course the problem of really go this particularly bitter one right now for the european union earlier this year france and italy have entered 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 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 bell example or it's really in france actually do call mostly from the north in the 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 a really good listener reporting like that what i mean time as person from the danish people's party pushing for these is tricky immigration laws says that europe
10:07 am
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 had the choice out of the european idea whole reality has really been the real world because see what comes across our borders and not least at least for this leaving denmark was stolen goods have increased we see the e.u. idea disintegrating i can see that happening all over the place not only and 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 if you like is to censor greatly. well on our website article called we're actually asking you for your opinion about the revival of border controls between e.u. members and what does it mean for the future of the union let's have a look at the stats right now more than half think the end of the e.u.
10:08 am
is the only way to fend off an immigration crisis eighteen percent say it's just a temporary setback in the integration process the same number think that europe has failed to find unity in troubled times and another twelve percent say that the e.u. has proved to be unworkable. libyan officials say the seized two ships on route from qatar carrying weapons intended for antica rebels such a have been carrying over a hundred of belgian made assault rifles along with thousands of rounds of ammunition so far only the french have admitted to supplying weapons to libya's unsecured forces more on this and are joined by marty darrius an. associate at the center for research on it globalization live from tripoli. thank you for joining us so there's been an argument being made that if you supply weapons for civilians to protect themselves against gadhafi you're not violating the u.n. embargo do you agree with that. yes it definitely is violating the
10:09 am
united nations saying as well as international law there's something called the arms or the a t t and under the a.t.t. they cannot supply arms to the rebels this is not new news either they've been saying this from march that they've been sending arms to the rebels in the london conference the prime minister of qatar said they were going to send arms he said that a friend of hillary clinton and all the representatives of the nato states that were there after that. general yunis in benghazi also said that they were getting arms then. sorry reuters and the wall street journal they all said the united states was sending arms through egypt to the rebels that it's reported it's. documented we know that it's not because i did not forgive me for interrupting so you're saying there are several sources and state officials that admit to funneling our weapons into the country but let's let's just clear something up that's not saying earlier there's an argument being made that if you supply weapons to
10:10 am
civilians you're not violating the un embargo but if you're supplying weapons to civilians then surely they're not civilians the militants. not they're not civilians number one and you know not civilians they're organized than anybody knows the geneva convention such as myself who used to serve conventions when my bread and butter for a time so i know them very well you cannot arm civilians to organize themselves into militias and say that they're civilians they're no longer civilians in fact they have prisoners of war when you capture them. so that that that is a false argument this the tracting from the fact that weapons are being funneled into libya from the west from the east hillary clinton went into tunisia and egypt before this nato war started to secure routes into these countries and qatar openly spoke about it the british open so if i if i may just going to press for a moment i mean you're there in the museum capital what's the view among the libyan people to arms shipments to the rebels over there in tripoli. oh it's very negative
10:11 am
of course and i haven't been restricted here and in libya i've i've i've traveled i've seen the frontier from tunisia to tripoli. the people that are resisting this are the actual people libyan people there's no real organized military here it's the people the people of libya have taken arms to defend this country against nato if you go to the checkpoints you're going to see the regular people they called people people who are volunteers that it's not strictly a military military force that's being fought against by the rebels or whatever you want to call them the transitional council forces revolutionaries whatever you want to call them they are a minority and they are being armed by the outside and in some cases they have better weapons the then the actual libyan military most of the rebels to the rebels are the minority that as i was saying you know you are you are there on the. capital are you keeping a watch on the television is there what do you make of the media's coverage of all of that do you see this fair. and well you asked a very important question. this is the time of war and if we ask ourselves what
10:12 am
happened in world war two word german and japanese an italian german journalists allowed to go to the united states and report on what the united states was doing there doing during world war two or the soviet union or britain you know this didn't happen so we have a new type of war and there is a media war it's being fought by more than one side it's very important and if there isn't an accurate picture now there's restrictions on the media here i met there access hotel and there are some restrictions but that's because there's been some very questionable news coming out if you the other day the reuters reporter was expelled he said that he met with opposition leaders outside of the gates of this hotel that did not happen i spoke to people here he did not meet with opposition leaders here i'm not saying that there is no opposition but there are minority and that that he was kicked out because of that report and. it doesn't come without having a tough time of reporting on this ongoing conflict four months into an elderly
10:13 am
suffer give me i'm running out of time one last question please how do you see the conflict playing out who has the upper hand. the upper hand right now i think it's too soon to say we have to the ball is in needles court the ball is not in the libyan libya's court they're fighting defensively that's the reality of the situation the ones who are being bombed they don't want to have planes overhead it's not it in their hands so right now i don't see nato winning unless they invade or they continue to arm the rebels put it's way it's frankly it's too soon to say and i heard that hillary clinton said we're going to follow this to the end i don't think this is looking good for nato and if they invade they have to be fools every house in tripoli is armed they have neighborhood defend. to set up every single houses aren't all the people here are caring if they don't like a daffy they would turn those weapons on him and i was a green square and the media maybe it was the media here maybe it was the media
10:14 am
outside that added them edited the news put it was not accurate there was a lot of people there and it wasn't ten thousand people like the washington post said or like the b.b.c. said people were fleeing the next day those people came out outs from outside of tripoli and they stayed overnight so they slept in the morning they were leaving and then you have news reports saying they were fleeing the city this is trying to cause panic they're trying to live normal lives here they're trying to live in a state of not. state of north norman normal normal is not of normalcy and as you say there's a lot of. talk about the still despite what western media tends to say about money there is another researcher at the center for research and globalization thank you very much. thank you. for a lot more still to come on the program here including a brand new ways to satisfy china's energy hungry i've got some countries are deciding against a nuclear future following the fukushima disaster china is searching for advanced technology to make atomic power safe. and we report on the children with
10:15 am
a rare condition of a fragile skin and the battle to improve treatment for the problem here in russia. on a visit to russia's north caucasus president dmitri medvedev has declared that the death of the lawyer sort of had magnitsky in custody as the problems facing human rights in the country he was a touchdown extremist and intolerance which he believes must be fought by the whole spectrum of society and r.t. as you go to this kind of house details on this. a lot of issues were on the table at this meeting president need to get a focused on the role of the civil society in commenting terrorism in preventing on resolving ethnic conflicts and also we discuss the investigation looking into the death also game uglies he a lawyer who was accused of being more of a huge money laundering scheme in russia but died in prison before having been found guilty it was huge weight of criticism both in washington and the only
10:16 am
international talking about extremism of believe that even though a lot of progress has been made over the past few years there's still a long way to go before this problem could be fully resolved and just one of the latest examples connected to extremism in russia is the death of duty son of former russian army officer was serving with the field after having been found guilty of killing i treasured girl services if you long sentence was released or was killed just around a month ago and even though it's not clear who's responsible for this murder they did trigger some racist comments this meeting was being held in the city or in the caucuses of course but be important region for the authorities when it comes to combat terrorism but we do russia's police chief this year old the authorities managed to eliminate over three hundred militants in a book or business and now starting from the fifth of july there starting another
10:17 am
new major a five month long anti terror operation so quite a lot of things are happening in the caucuses and quite a low base are discussed at this meeting as well. as going off reporting right now while the accident japan's fukushima facility triggered safety fears all around the world forcing some countries to think twice about using nuclear energy but for energy hungry china seems just a monster so high there's simply no alternative and as henry morton reports it's focusing instead on developing new technologies to make atomic plants. 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 elements for him 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 i use your
10:18 am
thore in these two reactors certainly have advantages release from thore and is greater than from the arena of by products from using thore and a less toxic than from uranium and it's much harder to make weapons from those by products. 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
10:19 am
energies have no advantage in either techniques or resources. and 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 power is seen as the best split by the chinese government the problem facing authorities though is trying to convince a sometimes jittery public that 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 path to clean energy and water and r.t. aging. well the effects of the fukushima crisis are continuing to manifest themselves in various areas including japanese politics japan's disaster
10:20 am
reconstruction minister. has resigned only a week into the post this comes after his visit to an area hit by march's tsunami and earthquake motos scolded the local governor and threatening to withhold aid to the region if he didn't provide a clear plan for reconstruction a former ministers behavior angered local people and japan's most prominent opposition party dubbed it an affront to all earthquake victims. a dutch court has ruled that the netherlands was responsible for the deaths of three bosnian muslims after the fall of the during the bosnian war the judges have all of their government to pay out compensations to the relatives of those killed victims were support staff for the dutch un peacekeeping force and were among those muslims who took shelter in a un protective enclave and then were executed by bosnian serbs when the peacekeepers forced them out of the compound. of double bombers killed at least thirty five and wounded forty seven in

a sunni dominated town just north of iraq's capital backed out a police report say insurgents first detonated a car bomb near the local council building this was followed by a second explosion of a roadside bomb targeting those who gathered to help the victims of the first blast that follows a missile attack killing four people in baghdad's green zone where government and embassy buildings are located. twenty one minutes now past the hour here in moscow it's a rare and incurable disease and in russia sufferers say it's ignored by the medical establishment known as e.b. it means children have skin so delicate that even just a simple touch can break it. up to families who are coping with the illness you may find some of the images in this report disturbing. 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 at her mother's blows or or even be that makes her skin
10:22 am
less than as a butterfly when 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 right you know good thing 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 it she knew he says 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. it's such a rare disease that it's pretty much been forgotten about there's no states that pool it 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
10:23 am
her advice can conflict with what they've learned from abroad. 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 nasty is a clear example of what good care and access to proper treatment can do for a butterfly child a 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 providing the best maternity wards in the country her stomach and feet were all and the marks of the doctor's fingers are still her skin back then she did look like a libby patient ever since nasty 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
10:24 am
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. she's my beautiful and long speckled princess and if there is a play that can hurt my princess i'll take them all away no matter what for 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 three 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 breaking up her life without paying. r.t.

moscow. or that's all the news from iraq so you've got to stay with us our kareen is next up for the business world. well welcome to business here not too good to have you with me rating agencies are playing hardball with greece standard 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 debt are proposed through a new bond where they write sure louise cooper from the cheezy part as 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 you've already had one hundred ten billion bailout package remember this is a country of only twelve million people they just can't 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
10:26 am
size of the public sector getting private entrepreneurs enterprise but going again right 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 from actually so over from sort of week to week is almost. means we forget about the underlying core portman's of the economy that need to be addressed. let's take a look at the markets now or prices are climbing this whole thing i today dropped that's all speculation that there's growing demand for oil in both the u.s. and china the world's two largest energy users like food is trading at ninety six dollars a barrel rand is over one hundred thirteen dollars a barrel u.s. stocks fall and early trading ahead of the government report that factory orders rose in may reports are also due out this week on the unemployment rate and how
