the. activists grow more vocal in their opposition to a covert us military site in northern england inspired by the reagan era star wars project they're saying that they have a right to know what's going on but. the shutters are up in denmark because the country passes a strict new laws on border control switch already calls and go from its european neighbors who say that it might violate agreements on fees or free travel. and libyan officials say they've intercepted two ships carrying belgian made weapons frantic about the rebels in violation of a un imbolc go on arms trafficking to the war torn country. and here in business

russian equity markets finished in the black on tuesday out of the oil top ninety five dollars a barrel and join me at twenty past the hour for more on the stock performance in our business bulletin. worldwide news from the heart of moscow this is artsy research calls for independence from us the militarisation are getting louder in britain of course britain being one of america's most trusted strategic allies peace activists of 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 there putting the country's security at risk. here it's a little piece of america in the heart of big ukase yorkshire dales where it's britons who are demanding independence from america this space 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 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 at all

in fact it doesn't even know what goes on here there isn't a single proficiency official in parliament or in the intelligence services who could give you a full picture of what is happening in this space it's the culmination of former u.s. president ronald reagan's dream as his statue was unveiled in london on monday menwith hill embodied what reagan in visit in the early warning missile detection system was dubbed the star wars program it's secretive based for 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 as a. and withheld becomes part of the missile defense shield it's building another goal satellites try to bring the total to thirty three despite some local and international opposition growing not richie's think the u.s.

is influence in europe your avatar see menwith hill yorkshire. the prospect of a u.s. led missile defense shield in europe has also set alarm bells ringing right here in moscow nato is failing to provide legal guarantees the system won't be aimed at russia and is also rejected proposals for a joint shield next hour we hear from a leading american scientist who says that obama's administration is continuing bush era policies. when the bush plan was first. 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 is raising all sorts of red flags in russia. now or five minutes past the hour here in moscow. 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 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 things are going to costco explains. but the nice 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 agreements of the open borders in europe and they also say that this is not a wise move at all to make during a particularly volatile time for the european union when countries are bickering

over border disputes and over cash and money issues some believe that this actually may signal the end off united europe but these officials insist that this will last 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 into 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 well as a 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 belgium or or it's really in france actually do come mostly from the northern african region so this particular move by the danish officials may actually send quite a worrisome signal to other european countries who may also follow suit. let's

get some more details on this now i'm joined by messerschmitt who's a european parliament member live in denmark for us. good to see you so is this move to tighten borders is it possibly symptomatic of an increasingly prevalent european mindset of the shrinking system which is. and relaxed travel restrictions in western europe ultimately failed. but i think it's a logical reaction to the fact that the polish mint of the national border control has led to a huge increase in various kinds of criminal activity. we have in denmark see this huge influx of trucks and the car tax we have seen in florida on illegal weapons human trafficking has been rapidly expanding during the years of fishing and regime so i think it's obvious that any sensible government or a parliamentarian has to react to this and that's what we've done by doing what we're doing now increasingly customs control if i may just jump in here it does seem like the timing is rather convenient considering the past several months of

ongoing unrest in the middle east and northern africa immigrants are flooding upwards into europe surely that's having something to do with this decision do you think. not not for the case but it's clear that around in the twenty seven countries they are. you could say moving wishes to do something similar to what we have done in denmark and the commission has said in its in its recent suggestions are also given more flexibility to meet to member countries to enlarge their border protection but i think that each of the twenty seven countries in the european union have individual problems our problems have been due to the influx of especially from the eastern european countries where is france and italy and spain and other southern european countries struggling with the troubles to the roots of the turmoil in the north of africa are now other than the issues of our security let's discuss the issues of economics here you know surely open borders are

convenient for people from e.u. member states and you think that stricter border controls would damage tourism and economic links between between various countries i think the only thing that is damaging tourism in the free movement right now is the hysteria that we see from the e.u. institutions and from individual countries like germany where they where the government i think has acted in an incredibly. by its reaction to what we have we have done i have to stress the fact that we have had the free movement of goods. and services since the one nine hundred eighty six and until two thousand and one that's fifteen years maintain its border control with the free movement of goods with the in the market obviously we can maintain having been a market and free movement of various kinds of stuff also with a limited border control compared to what we had until two thousand and one so i think it's a it's a strawman argument it's not a real argument is simply a constructed argument in order to. avoid what is happening not only in denmark but

all over the european union where more and more people are realizing that the solutions we have been given by brussels another right the right ones for a modern world are now listen when it comes to when it comes to where the money issues here with new custom controls and then where's the money going to come from is it reasonable to use public funds to to ensure better border security. i think it's reasonable to use public spending to ensure the everyday lives for the danish population i mean that's one of the main reasons why you want to pay taxes that you want to police a customs control here and whatever publicly funded institution to protect you so i think it's reasonable that we are spending some. one hundred million proner on this matter because we have seen the increase of criminal activity due to the lack of control so now we pay a little bit more but we get more control and thereby more safety and i'll just briefly forgive me i'm running out of time here but when it comes to the increased border control in denmark is it more about the drugs and the weapons coming across

the board across the border or is it more about immigrants. whether it's a broader relation of issues here we're fighting trafficking which is the one of the most horrible crimes we see of course we're fighting groks we're fighting smugglers in various kinds and illegal immigrants it's clear that we see what we see in the entire middle east is to shoot pressure on the european board. and i think we have a national as well as international responsibility to avoid their illegal immigrants to our country so that they create in their mind in an environment environment that is hostile to those who are legally here messerschmitt a member of the european parliament or live in strasburg thank you very much. well on our website r.t. dot com we're asking for your opinion about what the revival of border controls between the e.u. members means for the future of the union let's have a look at the stats right now and more than half think that 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 but the same number think that

europe has failed to find unity in troubled times and another twelve percent say that the e.u. has proven to be workable. libyan officials say that they've seized two ships on route from qatar carrying weapons intended for rebels that have been carrying over one hundred belgian made assault rifles along with thousands of rounds of ammunition at this point so far only the french have admitted to supplying weapons to libya's anti government forces and shipment of arms to libya is a violation of international law that's according to marty darrius not somebody from the center for research on globalization. it definitely is violating the united nations sanction as well as international law there's something called the a t t and under the a.t.v. it 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 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 a military force that's being fought against by the rebels or whatever you want to call them the transitional council forces revolutionaries or whatever you want to call them they are a minority and they are being armed by the outside in some cases they are better weapons then the actual libyan military the ball is in needles court the ball is not in libya's court they're fighting defensively that's the reality of the situation the ones who are being bombed they're the ones who are 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 full. every house in tripoli's are they have neighborhood defenses set up in every single houses aren't all the people here are carrying what it's like to turn those weapons on in. the eye here in moscow not small to come in the program including new ways to satisfy china's energy hunger while some countries are deciding against a nuclear future following the fukushima disaster the chinese are searching for advanced technology to make atomic power safe. we report on the children with a rare condition of french our skin in the battle to improve treatment for the problem here in russia. on a visit to russia's north caucasus president dmitri medvedev has declared the death of the lawyer. in custody as a highlight of the problems facing human rights in the country he also touched on

extremism and intolerance which he believes must be forth by the whole spectrum of society he's in going to ask an awful. lot of issues more on the table at this meeting the president need to be of all first on the civil society in terrorism in preventing and resolving ethnic conflicts and also be discussed the investigation looking into the death toll to be among these he was accused of being more of a huge money laundering scheme in russia but died in prison the. huge wave of criticism all the water and the motley fool talking about the extremism of lead so 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 in one of the latest examples connected to a dream isn't the death of the gun a former russian army officer was serving in the field after having been found guilty of killing

a treasure girl he served as the long sentence was released but was killed just a month ago and no it's not clear who's possible for the slaughter they did trigger . some racist comments this meeting will be held in the city or in the caucuses of course a dream for the region for the authorities when it comes to syria with a week to watch the police chief this year old the authorities managed to eliminate over three hundred militants in the business starting from the fifth of july and they're starting another amid the new major of the. operation so quite a lot of things are happening in the caucuses and things are discussed at this meeting as well. and we don't forget we also have plenty of other stories available for you on our website that's our artsy dot com here's a quick look at what's there right now how to raise a pencil become considered dangerous as guns in russia's republic of chechnya whose

leader has banned the devices. and doughty catches up with an italian marble of marble you can make a stone magically stay afloat and even fly find out how a page that's on. the. party is coming to you live from moscow the accident after japan's fukushima facility triggered safety fears or around the world forcing some countries to think twice about using nuclear energy for energy hungry china it seems his demands are so high that there's just no alternative henry morton reports now it's focusing instead on developing new technologies to make atomic plants more safe. with the global spotlight firmly back on the safety of nuclear power following japan's

tsunami and the problems at the fukushima daiichi plant china is looking at spearheading efforts to make the industry safer and much safer the chinese are investing millions in research into reactors powered by the element 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 thore and based reactors certainly have advantages the energy release from thore and is greater than from the ring at the y. products from using thore in a less toxic than from uranium and it's much harder to make weapons from those by products or you. public outcry following the problems at the fukushima plant led to beijing putting a freeze on approvals of football 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 china's development other new energies have no advantage in either techniques or resources. no one in china is under any illusions that the country desperately needs to find alternative clean ways to generate electricity the current reliance on coal which provides some eighty percent of chinese energy needs cost the economy more than two hundred billion dollars a year through air pollution alone and while beijing is investing heavily in turn it into energy supplies nuclear power is seen as the best split by the chinese government the problem facing authorities though is trying to convince a sometimes a 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 and we want an ati beijing. now the effects of the fukushima crisis are continuing to manifest themselves in various areas including japanese politics transit disaster reconstruction in minnesota you will not so motto has resigned only a week into the post as comes after his visit to an area hit by march's tsunami and earthquake there scolded the local government and threatened to withhold aid to the region if he didn't provide a clear plan for reconstruction ministers behavior anger local people and japan's biggest con an opposition party dubbed it an affront to all earthquake victims. a touch court has ruled that the netherlands was responsible for the deaths of three bosnian muslims after the fall of during the bosnian war the judges have ordered

the government to pay out compensation as to the relatives of those killed the victims were support staff for the dutch un peacekeeping force and were among those muslims who took shelter in the un protective enclave the men were executed by bosnian serbs when the peacekeepers forced them out of the compound. a double bomb attack was killed at least thirty five and wounded forty seven in a sunni dominated town north of iraq's capital baghdad police reports 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 got in to help the victims of the first blast follows a missile attack killing four people in baghdad's green zone where government and see buildings are located. it's a rare and incurable disease and in russia suffer a say it's ignored by the medical establishment known as it means children have skin so delicate that even just

a simple touch can break it out history prescriber has met the families who are coping with the onus now you may find some of the images in this report is startling. 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 that bitter malas has bulldozer or even 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 liza are known as butterfly children however in russia it's as if they don't exist write your cookbook when the doctors simply don't know if it is ease and when you tell them what it is they might have heard of it but they're going know how to deal with it she knew liza is only five when 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. it's such

a rare disease that it's pretty much been forgotten about there's no streets the court to 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 her advice can conflict with what they've learned from abroad looking for 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 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 from home the best maternity wards in

the country her stomach and feet were all and the marks of the doctor's fingers as to her skin back then she did look like a newbie patient ever since and i still 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 was the anything to make her daughter's life long unhappy. she's my beautiful and long status 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 real dream of one day waking up to a life without paying. party moscow side of the business news is next with current. welcome to business the sa 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 pretty planck's the biggest holders of greek sovereign debt are proposed to renew bonds on the mature louise cooper from b g c partners says a bailout is not the answer economic reform is the key to its financial. if you look at the amounts of debt that greece has you've already had one hundred ten

billion bailout package remember this is a country of only twelve million people they just cannot afford to pay back the level of debt that they have and the reform program is terribly important for greece making their country more productive selling off state assets reducing the size of the public sector catching private entrepreneurs enterprise but going again right is the key to the financial health of greece and here in a way that reform program gets ignored because we have these drawn as every day we have riots we have protests we have late night votes i don't know about excitement to just get to greece financially solvent 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 all prices are climbing this whole thing and today drop that on speculation that there's growing demand for oil and gas the u.s.
