thanks for joining us a quick summary of the headlines and activists grow more vocal in their opposition to a 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. as the country passes a strict new laws on border control switch have already caused anger from its european neighbors who say it might violate agreements on a visa free travel. and libyan officials say they intercepted two ships carrying belgian made weapons for anti kadafi rebels in violation of a un embargo want to transfer to the water country. next week discuss the missile shield plans that are driving

a severe wedge between moscow and washington d.c. with us. from what i understand russians are not. well we started this study a couple of months ago to look into the technical side of what might be behind russia's concerns so there's narrative in the west has been that russia is ideologically opposed to middle missile defense that they're more concerned with the bases in poland and romania but we want to see if there's something besides that they feel perhaps. fear of influence but we wanted to see if there's actual technical concerns what we found in the phase adaptive approach to missile defense is broken up into two parts number one and number two where the potency

interceptors. block one interceptors are online and phases three and four where the higher speed interceptors will be brought on line and our analysis shows if the system is reconfigured a little bit that it will have some ability against russian i.c.b.m. so there is some legitimate concern from from the russian side as to the technical ability in principle of the system being able to intercept russian i.c.b.m. in the report you argue that the us doesn't really need the last two faces could you expand on that it's sort of a paradox because. even neither of the first phases nor the second phases would really have an ability against rogue state i.c.b.m.'s anybody who can make ballistic missiles can also put decoys in this world to overcome the defenses you can put for instance inflatable balloons that appear to the radar sensors into the imaging sensors on the intercept vehicle as warhead so you overwhelm the system so it's easy to defeat the system and we won't be getting anything extra by going to

the higher potency interceptors to block two interceptors which are due to come on line after twenty eighteen so neither the first two phases nor the second two phases will have much inherent ability against the rogue state threat you make two very important points that the effectiveness of the interceptors is arguable from a scientific point of view and b. that this could push the russians and possibly the chinese to try and restore some kind of balance by arming themselves more of those arguments could be discarded by decision makers in washington well apparently they have already. it's sort of a puzzle because the system itself has never actually been tested under realistic conditions you know for instance a salvo of missiles that incorporate compromisers and it's never really been tested against that the timing of the tests has always been known to the intercepting so the intercept team knows exactly the trajectory that the missile is coming on and.

the exact timing so of course in the case of north korea or iran that will not be the case furthermore most seriously perhaps the most of the system is based on ships now these ships have never been tested in rough weather in fact when usa one ninety three satellites was being intercepted a few years back it was called off or for a couple of days because the weather was too rough for the cruisers so this is a known weakness in the system but you know from the planner side they have to see perhaps there will be some technological surprise in the future maybe there'll be many more interceptors maybe they'll be a different administration so from the military planners in china and russia they have to pretend or plan for the worst and pretend like the system works whereas it can in fact be easily overcome and has never been realistically tested russians have been quite persistent and in saying ok if it's not against us let's do it together their response if they get it's always a polite no but no they if they are told yes we will cooperate but not on

equal terms what do you make of it i think in some ways it's a natural response because it's it's hard to get full cooperation when russia is not officially part of nato but i would say even both in the u.s. and in russia the people asking for cooperation before you do that the most important thing is to make sure the system works you know you don't want to cooperate on something that can easily be defeated by iran or north korea it's important to understand that these intercepts of the missile occur in space so there's no air resistance there so you can spread out any kind of balloons shards of metal and all of these things travel with the warhead in space because there's no resistance so you're can deceive the defenses very simply so i would say. for all the political

people asking for cooperation go too far this should be a study of whether this system can in fact work in real combat conditions not in a very rigged test as it's been conducted today still you know you see in the report you touch upon that technical aspect and then for russia's concerns. but from what i've been covering the phone i understand the more important part of freshness frustration over americans missile defense that we say yes to cooperation on equal terms and. do you think that should be part of the discussion well surely it should be part of the discussion it should but you know there's a priority first to get a system that works and then you cooperate on it so. i think there's a time for cooperation but before that perhaps we can get maybe make it work together you know yeah exactly so we could get the technical people in russia together with the technical people in the us and we can all brainstorm on ideas but

but that's not happening. so you know there's various people have proposed different systems that might work to post a look on my team my colleague has proposed a drone based system so you'd have drones circling the north korea for instance and this would be a threat to russia of course because it's located. north korea and when they see a missile being launched there were captured before it releases the warhead of space then they can hone in on the hot exhaust coming out of. you know the boosting missile it's called the but apparently it's not been picked up by the pentagon and it's not being studied by anybody else so i think we need to get the technical people to cooperate once it's a good system is there then we can get the political people perhaps to cooperate. there is an opinion that there is this. mentality that flourished under the bush administration pushing for more different. many say it continues under obama

do you think that a costly missile defense program of arguable effectiveness could be pushed forward by this kind of hawkish mentality rather than security threats. i mean surely there is inertia in the system when 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 if you look at the congressional research service reports it would be four hundred forty interceptors based on forty three ships now these are mobile platforms and that is part of the problem so instead of being less of a concern going from the bush administration to the obama administration. this is raised all sorts of red flags in russia the new system there's something interesting i

read. the house defense bill funds and mandated the administration to conduct a study on the technical and operational visibility of space based interceptors that's from one of the papers here space based interceptors that sounds an awful lot like reagan's. plans which the american physical society concluded was a hoax but nonetheless billions of dollars were spent on research he says that the current myself defense program also could turn into a hole where money goes and disappears despite what the scientists are saying well it's your space based defense has been proven to be not a feasible idea because you would need so many interceptors and these would be in orbit now people have an idea that things are stationary in orbit they're not in low earth orbit they're moving very fast so they're not over any one region for very long the consequence of that is that you need many many many interceptors. and

for instance a hole you can create a hole in the defenses by just shooting a prior missile to get the local interceptors to intercept that one and then you have for the future you have a big hole in your defense that you can. that you can use to send a missile through so scientists. why are they spending money on it i think as far as i know there's not actually money being spent right now on developing it but there is the defense bill authorized that they're studying the concept they're not actually building it as far as i know at the moment but it's definitely proven proven to be feasible idea and it's not just the american physical society various x. officers technical officers of air force u.s. air force have also looked into it and shown that it's overly expensive and it's very easy to defeat again.

hello welcome to the sports news and here is what's next please release me struck a call a stab at sides family reasons for his second request to leave manchester city. while turning up the heat chilly come from behind to beat mexico to go top of their group a copper america. how the making of our three new sports will make their living debut at the sochi winter games in twenty fourteen. but first a football strike they call us test has cited family reasons for making his second transfer request in eight months from english f.a. cup winners match to city the argentina star is currently playing for his country in the copper america came to can only live in the north of england without his two daughters and a twenty seven year old says he now needs to live in a place where they could adapt to join city from rivals manchester united in two thousand i am preferred he million dollars have asked for a transfer last december before with during his request still says he will now want

i i that's it to leave you toppling after they came to beat mexico two one the mexicans went ahead after a looping header from a nineteen year old defend that nest that awful night for staff but chilly responded after the break grabbing equalizer as the band put it this managed to star in a rebound from the corner. i am up to the get out found the winner with this bullet head to want to cheer leading i need just a point from the next game against uruguay to progress to the next round for mexico need a win against peru to keep their hopes alive. now sepp blatter has reiterated fief is commitment to pour millions of dollars into the development of football in africa the president of football's governing body was speaking in zimbabwe after meeting top local officials but i held closed door talks with both zimbabwean president robert mugabe and requires that morgan chang if you look at your return

and a limping gold at the nine hundred ninety eight winter games and not in there there's also the four time world champion across three cross country events but his was a checkered career after he was caught up in a doping scandal picked up a two year ban last year he admitted to using the blood boosting e.p.o. back in the ninety's. now three new sports will make their debut at the sochi winter games in twenty fourteen ski slope start snowboard slopestyle and the snowboard parallel special slalom were all being floated for the first time the announcement was made by the international olympic committee president jacques rogge or he's in durban for the i.o.c. session which on wednesday will vote on who will host the twenty eighteen winter olympics three cities are bidding for that young challenge in south korea nick in germany and the sea in front. of me while russia's women's basketball team have returned home after being crowned european champions just flowers out of the trophy the squad touched down in moscow after beating turkey in the final in poland it was

the third time the russians wouldn't have won the european championships which ensures they qualify for next summer's olympics in london and they put their success at a simple hard work. fourteen words we're very happy our aim was gold who prepared and trained a lot it was stuff at the beginning but thanks to our solid work we cheered our task and thinks everyone who was supporting us oh well elsewhere tennis on the talk of it was greeted by thousands of fans after he returned to serbia following sunday's drive at wimbledon the new world number one was lapping up every minute as tens of thousands of fans chanted his name no les they gathered downtown in his native belgrade to boisterous welcoming ceremony djokovic rough on the dollar four sets in the final his first victory in six attempts over this one it gets a grand slam seven had also won this year's australian open but ready for all showed off a few darts moves as he performed with the band on stage and thanked everyone for their support. join us on the tonight show you everything because you made this day

the most beautiful day of my life i will never forget is this trophy i did ek to you this trophy i did it get to sir be continued. well if much of the chaos goes to djokovic for his heroics in london another star also shown on the grass courts of the all england club eighteen year old ben i was told make reached his maiden grandson quarterfinal and the top ranked australian is next aiming to help his national team edged closer to the full mike davis glory former world number one lleyton hewitt is also part of the team the aussies are in beijing ahead of their tie against underdogs china this weekend where the winner will move into september's playoffs for a slot in the world group australia have trained the trophy twenty eight times before would have been on a low after being relegated four years ago. but it's definitely a big call i'm sure all of us here would eventually. until hopefully we can just get through this. we have

a tough day. with that in the future when it comes to those situations where. you need a good match as well on the. back from injury and obviously i think for australians davis cup means a lot to be back in the war zone because if you go on. matter rugby sevens weather as a family and i on the european champions cup moscow region side v.v. a patmos call via have won the trophy for the fourth straight time since the tournament and four years ago have been reports. the rugby sevens european champions cup was four years old the same two teams had fought out the last three finals both of them russian the cup holders fifty eight but most korea to be their competitors from the so twenty ten domestic champions you krisna better these turn around they came across each other in the sammis but that didn't affect the outcome

. maybe but moscow where will quick to break the deadlock scoring a couple of troy's early in the game the russian national team skipper dmitry better off getting in no one here to give the most caribbean side if they fit in the advantage the game was completely dominated by it but must go via only let their opponents produce a single try setting the final score of twenty two for the second semifinal so another russian team empiria faced their share group presenting friends with both sides giving their all to win it was imperial who finally belted out to the final letter said earn their share of owners after beating you krisna they are then claiming third place to is this how it came to the old russian decide there was some watching and others just learning the sport all their moves nice and once again maybe but most korea promptly showed they had no equal in the tournament the

first choice scored by alexandria if it was converted into seven points but me to rip it off pulling a couple more tries in conversions the cup holders took a stunning twenty two to nothing lead. it seemed overworked but imperious used to give up proving rugby is always about fighting to the end. and sometimes their expense of injuring your opponent although goodness korea was keen to stick it out in one with a final score twenty eight twenty one to stay the only big tour the european champions has ever seen so for undisputedly the best club russia has to offer my god the dog's neck i wanted to give a lot of credit to our opponents they look great throughout the entire tournament and gave it all in the finals but it's no secret that dva put most of your is the baseline for the national team and we've got more international experience. it

would be great for the tournament to have teams from england in other countries where rugby is one of the most popular sports that most of those who took part in the event are very tough opponents of fact an impressive achievement by russia's top club which is no a four time european champions cup winner although some tougher competition for the trophy is just a matter of time new teams are in talks to draw in next year. robert burden on r.t. . and finally we'll end with some pictures from an extreme sport as intrepid american lance curry dazzled the crowd as to when the swatch phrase the star of x. contest in switzerland at the rocks or freestyle motocross is a sport in which motorcycle riders attempt to impress judges jumps and stunts it was the fourth time of the event for the twenty one year old corey that finished the top three on his previous three appearances however this time the americans breathtaking jumps were considered by the judges the best.
