international news and comment live from moscow this is r.t. calls for independence from us going to try zation a 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 to become part of a european missile defense shield they say britain barely knows what's going on there but in the country security 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 space 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 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 british official in parliament or in the intelligence services who could give you a full picture of what is happening in this space it's the culmination of former

u.s. president ronald reagan's dream as his statue is unveiled in london on monday menwith hill embodied 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 as a. then withheld becomes part of the missile defense shield it's building another gulf satellite structure bringing the total to thirty three despite some local and international opposition growing not reducing the u.s. influence in europe your avatar menwith hill yorkshire the prospect of a u.s. led missile defense shield in europe has also set alarm bells ringing here in moscow nato is failing to provide legal guarantees that the system won't be aimed

against russia and has also rejected proposals for a joint shield but later this hour we hear from a leading american scientist who says a bomber's administration is continuing bush era policies. for the bush plan was first discarded by president obama when he came into power there was a lot of whole new. 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 be obama. this has raised all sorts of red flags in russia. strict border controls have 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 at its border with germany some even officials have already condemned the move saying it might contradict mainland

europe's not open border agreement. explains. the 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 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 this officials insist that this will not 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 disputes of course the problem of illegal migrants is particularly bitter one right now for the european union earlier this year france and italy have answered 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 extremely well as us it's race and 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 italy and 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. morton messerschmitt he's a european parliament member for them he says that his country is right to take action to tackle rising in the gratian. all over the european union where more and

more people are realizing that the solutions we have been given by brussels are not the right where the right ones for a modern world we're fighting trafficking which is the one of the most horrible crimes we see of course we're fighting drugs we're fighting smugglers in various kind and illegal immigrants it's clear that we see what we see in the entire middle east is to shoot pressure on the european borders and i think we have a national as well as international responsibility to avoid that the illegal immigrants come to our country so that they create an. environment that is hostile to those who are legally here 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 the customs control here in whatever publicly funded institution to protect you so i think it's reasonable that we are spending some. one hundred million kroner 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 on our web site r.t. dot com we're asking for your opinion about what the revival of border controls between e.u. members means for the future of the union and looking on screen at the moment around a half think at the end of the e.u. is the only way to fend off an immigration crisis i see there are eighteen percent think that europe has failed to find unity in troubled times and sixteen percent say it's just a temporary setback in the integration process and the same number say that the e.u. has proved to be workable. to hear from you cast your vote and r.t. dot com. officials say they seized two ships on route from qatar carrying weapons intended to get out the rebels etc been carrying over one hundred belgian made assault rifles along with thousands of rounds of ammunition so far only the french have admitted to supplying weapons to libya's government forces

and the shipment of arms to libya is a violation of international law that's according to various he's from the center for research on globalization. it definitely is via violating the united nations sanction as well as international law there's something called 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 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 is 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 and in some cases they are better weapons than the actual libyan military that the ball is in the court but also in libya's court there is fighting defensively that's the reality of the situation the ones who are being bombed they're the ones who 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 really 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 are they have neighborhood defenses set up in every single houses aren't all the people here are carrying weapons if they didn't like they would turn those weapons on him. but a lot more still to come on the program for you this hour including brand new ways to satisfy china's energy hunger while some countries at the siding can see the

future following the fukushima disaster and china is searching for advanced technology to make atomic power safer. and we report on the children with a rare condition a fragile skin and their battle to improve treatment for the problem here in russia . one of visit to russia's north caucuses present a major medvedev has declared that the death of the lawyer seven magnitsky in custody has highlighted the problems facing human rights in the country it also touched on extremism and intolerance which he believes must be fought by the whole spectrum of society is kind of has this ripple. a lot of issues were on the table at this meeting president need to be to focus on the civil society and commenting terrorism in preventing on resolving ethnic conflicts and also be discussed the investigation looking into the death toll to dmanisi a lawyer who was accused of being for over huge money laundering scheme in russia

but died in prison for huge wave of criticism mostly russia and among the international community for talking about extremism of 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 that is one of the latest examples connected to extremism in russia is the death of gun a former russian army officer was serving chesham with the field after having been found guilty of killing a charge of girl service you a long sentence was released the list killed just around a month ago and even though it's not clear who sponsible for the slaughter it did trigger some racist comments this meeting was being held in the city of niger in the caucasus a force of beam for the region for the authorities when it comes to combat terrorism according to russia's police chief this year alone the authorities managed to eliminate over three hundred militants in the caucasus and now starting

from the fifth of july there starting another. major a five month long operation so quite a lot of things are happening in the caucuses incredible things are discussed at this meeting as well. as you know reporting that a dutch court has ruled that the netherlands was responsible for the deaths of three limbs after the fall of the jury the. judges a board of the government to pay out compensation to the relatives of those killed the victims were support staff of adults u.n. peacekeeping force and among those muslims who took shelter in the u.n. protected things. if the men were executed by. the peacekeepers forced out of the compound along with thousands of others or more than eight thousand bosnian muslim men and boys were killed in in july one thousand nine hundred five it's not possible to alexander payne she's a political analyst based in belgrade thanks very much for joining us military

record had previously ruled that the netherlands was not responsible for those deaths as its soldiers were operating under un mandate so what do you think there's been a guilty verdict now. well i think this may have something to do with some sort of political pressure being born against the dutch state perhaps because the dutch soldiers who are under un made a mandate there's no question about that now on the other hand. i think maybe somebody is trying to shift the blame from the u.n. to a member state and this is tricky business because at the end of the day we have some lawsuits being launched other losses not this one because the united nations itself and it's going through a european court because the dutch courts refused to rule against you and so this may be just a shift somebody is trying to shift the blame all over to holland rather than the u.n. because if the you right is liable to one lawsuit it may be liable to lawsuits all

over the world but the implications of this could be huge could they not i mean does this now mean that the relatives all those eight thousand victims in the mask could demand the same compensation from the dutch government. well theoretically this could happen also we must bear in mind the following we also have. families of service comes who are victims of muslim forces from celebrity. in the period of one nine hundred ninety two to ninety ninety five also suing the dutch state themselves also for failing to provide protection. from what was supposed to be a demilitarized area and certainly it's and this militarization never actually took place so actually this is a very very complicated situation with possibly far reaching consequences but the thing is the dutch government has always insisted that its troops were abandoned by the un which provided him with no support at all if he was extremely difficult

situation for them so should really the dutch government be responsible for this as you said earlier lawsuits are indeed being held against the u.n. should it not be the u.n. picking up this responsibility and being accountable for this. at the end of the day it was under the u.n. flag that the whole mission was being run and the u.n. had the responsibility for demilitarizing cerebral needs however and we have the testimony of dutch soldiers several dutch soldiers who actually said that when they try to demilitarize the. this armed the moslem fighters actually they received instructions from new york from the seat of the un to go easy on the demilitarization so at the end of the day the dutch were left holding the bag so to speak there were they were very to shoulder the blame they were patrolling with three hundred poorly armed soldiers against four thousand well our muslim soldiers

who were never disarm even though it was the mandate of the dutch soldiers and all other you want soldiers to disarm them so actually hala does have a brief against the un but it's another matter of whether they're strong enough to truly enforce that because now they are the ones being under pressure instead of the u.n. who is really the responsible party this because it was to repeat under their flag that this whole ugly event took place that this could have a negative impact on the u.n. itself and future u.n. peacekeeping missions could it not if you see a country brought to account and being brought to trial and how to compensate victims in an incident like that acrid put off countries being involved in future missions. absolutely absolutely and if one looks at the first the money of hundreds of dutch soldiers from person five as to what happened in seventy two you can see that there were actually put in quite a difficult position. politics were being played. high politics with people's

lives you know you get a mandate to disarm and then they're telling you actually well don't this arm and then bad brooke breaks out and you're the one left responsible the other interesting thing that could happen as well is somebody in holland may decide that to clear their own name to clear the name of their state can actually start getting into what really happens there but it's that which is a whole different matter altogether because you know we keep talking about a thousand being killed but you know eight thousand bodies have never been recovered so far less than two thousand bodies have actually been recovered of that most have wounds indicating casualties in battle and not by any sort of execution so this is something that might catch lee come up if hollande is being pressed strongly enough either their own words or from the outside alexander passage very interesting to him we have to say thanks very much indeed for joining

us live from belgrade pleasure. the accident at japan's fukushima facility triggered to safety fears 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 will turn as it is henry morton reports it's focusing instead on developing new technologies to make atomic plants safer. with the global spotlight firmly back on the safety of nuclear power following japan's tsunami and the problems at the fukushima daiichi plant china is looking at spearheading efforts to make the industry safer 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. thore and based reactors certainly have advantages the energy release

from thore and is greater than from uranium the black products from using thore in a less toxic can from uranium and it's much harder to make weapons from those my products for you. public outcry following the problems at the fukushima plant that led to beijing putting a freeze on approvals for all new nuclear power stations and safety checks out 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 turn it into energy supplies nuclear power is seen as the best bet by the chinese government the problem facing authorities though is trying to convince a sometimes and 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 they may be showing the rest of the world a new path to clean energy and we morton otty beijing. it's a rare and incurable disease and in russia suffer as saying it's ignored by the medical establishment known as means children have skin so delicate that even just a simple touch can break it. has met families who are coping with 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 that better melissa's bulldozer or a b. that makes her skin 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 lisa are known as butterfly children however in russia it's as if they don't exist write your book with 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 liza's only five what she already knows her diagnosis is better than any doctor her mother knows there is no cure with problem 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 the court so there's no money and no specialists. general 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. 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 buying 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 going to be a 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 juist says life expectancy position is in russia is very low and she would be anything to make her daughter's life long unhappy. that she's my beautiful and long status princess and if there is a key that can hurt my princess i'll take them all away no matter what the cost. julie is also behind a new 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 status as a sign of trust she told me her biggest dream then maybe 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 just like elisa real dream of one day waking up to a life without paying. r.t. moscow. to bring your vote for the moment coming up next it's a latest in the world of business with korea stay with us for that live your last quote. hello welcome to thanks for joining me when he 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 to a new bonds when they mature these cooper from b.d.c. partners say a bailout is not the answer economic reform is the key to its financial. if you

look at me amounts of debt greece has to go to have 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 going again the 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 i don't know about excitement to just get to greece from actually sober and from sort of week to week is almost. means we forget about the underlying core problems of the economy that need to be addressed. a look at the markets or prices are climbing this are holding a two day drop that's on speculation that there's growing demand for oil in the

u.s. and china the world's two largest energy users light so it is trading at ninety six dollars a barrel and brand is that over one hundred thirteen dollars about. u.s. stocks retreat from a five session winning stretch to after the government and of after the government said factory orders rebounded point eight percent in may the benchmark index is turned briefly high after the commerce department said orders for u.s. airplanes cars and other duster goods rose and they asked cash laden operation is invested in equipment and the rest of the r.t.s. in the eyes experienced in the black let's have a look at some individual shambles of the last six most energy majors finished higher but gazprom last point eight percent banking stocks were also lower would lead to be over two percent in the red bucking the trend was carli us users surged on a six percent after the m.s.c.i. said it will increase the company's waiting in its russian indicates not to cause

us a clue. wraps up today straight. the trend clearly remains. but in two so you had a bit of a pullback with the chinese central bank same remaining fresh air pressures so what you got russia actually going towards the beginning of the trading session and then you had a nice rally by afternoon three. hundred eleven and that put some positive so unit investors also names like gasper and he had good information coming from the government about the taxation and and then you had names they got doing very well given that they didn't announce when they had a policy and then you had as well the world. is going to increase their ways you know the banks from two point seven to three point five. inflation must say in the first six months of the year has talked five percent the biggest price increase. trying to percent more expensive in. ten traditionally inflation

russia. the second half of the here but authorities still expect it to be around seven percent. for now back with more and. stay with us had like. twenty.
