activists are growing more vocal in their opposition to a u.s. military side and northern england inspired by the. project saying they have a right to know what's going on that. the shutters are up in denmark as the country passes strict new laws on border controls which have already caused anger from its 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 for the rebels it's all in violation of what you want. to the war torn country. a very warm welcome to you this is on live from moscow calls for independence from

the u.s. the 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 say that britain barely knows what's going on the. 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 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 of 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 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 toll in fact it doesn't even know what goes on here there isn't a single british official in parliament or in the intelligence service who could give you a full picture of what is happening in this 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 embody what ray can envisage in the early warning missile detection 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 is around the country they want to reclaim this land and bring it back under the control of the press. government and its people it's not working they as men with hell becomes policy of the missile defense shield it's building another goes 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 yorkshire. and the prospect of a u.s. led missile defense shield in europe is also set alarm bells ringing here in moscow now who is failing to provide legal guarantees that the system would be aimed against russia and also rejected proposals for a joint shield later this hour we'll hear from a leading american scientist who says obama's administration is continuing bush era

policies. where the bush plan was first discarded by president obama when he came into power there was a lot of 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 has raised all sorts of red flags in russia i. just twenty 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 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 so much vaunted open border agreement going to go 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 laws 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 really go 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 is silly and france actually do come 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. reporting like that well i mean time short a person from the danish people's party who have been pushing for these strict immigration laws says 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 had the choice of you the european idea or

reality has really been the real world we can see but 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 in much 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 disintegrating. well on our website r.t. dot com we're actually asking you for your opinion about the revival of border controls between e.u. members and what it means 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. 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 thing 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 rebels are said to have been carrying over one hundred a 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 more on this we're now joined by. associate at the center for research on 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 you know the nation's sanction as well as international law there's something called the arms of 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 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. you meant it we know that it's not because i didn't forgive me for interrupting so you're saying there are several sources and state officials that admit to funneling weapons into the country but let's let's just clear something up as i was saying earlier there's an argument being made that if you supply weapons to civilians you're not violating the u.n. embargo but if you're supplying weapons to civilians then surely then all civilians the militants. know they're not civilians number one and you're not civilians they're organized than anybody who knows the geneva convention such as myself who

used to serve the geneva conventions when my bread and butter for a time so i know them very well you cannot arm civilians who organize themselves into militias and say that they're civilians they're no longer civilians in fact they are prisoners of war when you capture them. so that that is a false argument this detracting 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 we saw if i if i may just i'm going to press for a moment i mean you're there in the libyan capital but what's the view among the libyan people to all shipments to the rebels over there in tripoli. oh it's very negative of course and i haven't been restricted here 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 like old 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 and then the actual libyan military or the rebels to the rebels are the minority that as i was saying you know you are there on the libyan. capital are you keeping a watch on the television is that what do you make of the media's coverage of the conflict do you see it as fair. while you asked a very important question. this is the time of war and if we ask ourselves what 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 no 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 their excess hotel and there are some restrictions but that's because there's been some very questionable news coming out of here the other day the reuters reporter was expelled but he said that he met with opposition leaders outside of the gates of this hotel that 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 a minority and that report he was kicked out because of that report and. having a tough time of reporting on this ongoing conflict four months into and i'll briefly if you 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 at the moment. the upper hand right now i think it's too soon to say we have to the ball is in nato support the

ball is not in the libyan libya's court they're fighting defensively that's the reality of the situation they're 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 but it's 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 defense. set up in every single houses aren't all the people here are caring what if they don't like 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 outside that added them edited the news but 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 the trying to live in a state of not. a state of north normal normal normal sense of normalcy and as you say there's a lot of. still despite what western media tends to say mahdi darrius a researcher at the center for research and globalization thank you very much. thank you. a lot more still to come on the program here including brand new ways to satisfy china's energy hunger while 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 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 magnitsky in custody has highlighted the problems facing human rights in the country he was a touchdown on extremism and intolerance which he believes must be fought by the whole spectrum of society and r.t. as you go to this kind of details on this. a lot of issues were on the table at this meeting president need to be to focus on the role of the civil society in combat terrorism in preventing on resolving ethnic conflicts and also be discussed the investigation looking into the death of city among these he a lawyer who was accused of being for over huge money laundering scheme in russia but died in prison before having been found guilty it was huge wave of criticism both in russia and among the international community for talking about extremism and mediate said 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 and next to extremism in russia is the death of duty done

a former russian army officer was serving with the field after having been found guilty of killing a treasure in rural and served the city long sentence was released but was killed just around a month ago and even though it's not clear police sponsible for the slaughter they did trigger some racist comments this meeting was being held in the city over in the caucasus of course a very important region for the authorities when it comes to combat terrorism russia's police chief this year alone of managed to eliminate over three hundred militants in the book and now starting from the fifth of july there starting another. major a five month wall of anti terror operation so quite a lot of things are happening in the caucasus and quite a little things are discussed at this meeting as well. reporting right that 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 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 a. 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 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. 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 that will turn it into energy supplies nuclear power is seen as the best bet by the chinese government the problem facing authorities is trying to convince a sometimes and 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 henry morton r.t. beijing. well the effects of the fukushima crisis are continuing to manifest themselves in various areas including japanese politics japan's disaster reconstruction minister. has resigned only a week into the post this comes after his visit to an area hit by march's tsunami earthquake motos scolded the local governor and threatening to withhold aid to the

region if we didn't provide a clear plan for reconstruction the former ministers behavior angered local people and japan's most prominent opposition party dubbed 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 seventy during the bosnian war the judges have ordered the 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 the men were executed by bosnian serbs when the peacekeepers forced them out of the compound. a double bomb attack has killed at least thirty five and wounded forty seven in a sunni dominated town just north of iraq's capital baghdad police reports say insurgents first detonated a car bomb near the local council building it was followed by a second explosion of a roadside bomb targeting those who gathered to help the victims of the first blast

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 the b. it means children have skin so delicate that even just a simple touch can break it. has met the 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 lisa goes through to make these simple movements liza has a rare genetic condition epidermal this is bulldozer 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 bring 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 isn't it it's such a rare disease that it's pretty much been forgotten about there's no state support so there's no money and no specialists. del monaco 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. so 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 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 are still her skin back then she did look like an a b. 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 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 speck to 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 liza she bravely takes on life with a smile despite her deteriorating state as a sign of trust she told me her biggest dream there may be few children with this disease in russia but each of them needs all the support they can get they may have learned to live with their condition but just like elisa they'll dream of one day waking up to a life without paying. r.t. moscow. i know about all the news when i hear it on t.v. but do stay with us our kareen is next with the business bulletin.

joe welcome to business here and i take it 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 have proposed three new bonds when they mature louise cooper from beach park as says a bailout is not the answer economic reform is the key to its financial health. if you look at the amount 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 enterprise back going again that is the key to the financial health of cory's 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 problems of the economy that need to be addressed. let's take a look at the markets now prices are climbing this holding a two day drop that's all speculation that there is growing demand for oil in both the u.s. and china the world's two largest energy users light sweet is trading at ninety six dollars a barrel rand is over one hundred thirteen dollars a barrel u.s. stocks fall in 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 many jobs employers added in june in europe stock markets are mostly held in a tight range traders are cautious over the outlook for greece and following

reports that china could hike interest rates this week and bank stocks were mostly lower as worries over sovereign debt again weighed on the sector commerzbank fell point eight percent in frankfurt and societe generale slipped point seven percent point seven percent in paris the german dax edged up helped by one point seven percent gain for fox wagon as the car maker extended the previous sessions. and in russia there are tears in the eyes excel higher the softer trading flat. the positive let's have a look at some individual sham of some allies six energy majors own the congress how it dragged by lower oil prices gas from is down point six percent g.d.p. bank continues its losing streak taken from monday with shaz one point four percent lower as close bucking the trend as or all cutting with chaz almost five percent higher after the m.s.c.i. said it would creased the company's weighting this comes after when all colleagues have acquired its competitors at something. that's all the business update five a solid but i'll be back with more in about forty five minutes from now trying to

get. the little bit of the movie. in the boonies.
