and. hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers. on.

activists growing more vocal in their opposition to a covert u.s. military sites in northern england in the reagan era star wars project saying they have a right to know what. the shuttles are up in denmark as the country passes strict new laws on border controls which are already caused from european neighbors who say it might reach agreements on visa free travel. nato stands accused of violating its own libyan arms embargo as gadhafi loyalists to a shipment of belgian made weapons intended for rebels. and and business rating agencies are playing hardball with standard and poor's says it may consider french banks to roll over privately held greek bonds as a default. internationally

from moscow this is a cause for independence from us militarization 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 due to become part of a european missile defense shield they say british authorities barely know what's going on there 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 the united states here we have a base that's on us control which the british government and british people have no

control menwith hill is the largest intel gathering and surveillance base outside the us there are thirty two satellite dishes housed inside the huge gulf 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 site 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 tall 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 in bodies will rake in in visit 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 it around the country they want to reclaim this land and bring it back under the control of the british government and its people it's not working though as a. when 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. 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 was also rejected proposals for a joint shield well next hour we'll hear from a leading american scientists who says obama 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. and that interview coming up a little later here on. stricter border controls are to be implemented in denmark as the country's parliament has voted in favor of permanent new legislation it will mean more security checkpoints of the country's ports and at its border with

germany some even officials have already condemned the move saying it might contradict mainland europe's much vaunted open border agreement. 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 by the e.u. officials in brussels and especially by denmark's neighbor germany they insist that this is a violation of the get 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 all for united europe but the danish officials insist that this

will law of 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 illegal migrants is 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 who do flood countries like denmark belgium or italy and france actually do come mostly from the north an 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. mr schmidt to european member from denmark says his country is right to take action to tackle rising immigration. 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 where 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 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 borders and i think we have a national as well as international responsibility to avoid that that illegal immigrants come to our country so that they create an environment environment that is hostile to those who are legally here i think it's reasonable to use public spending to ensure that every day lives for the danish population i mean that's one of the main reasons why you want to pay tax that you want to police a customs control the army here and 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 juicer

the lack of control so now we pay a little bit more but we get more control and thereby more safety and on our website r.t. dot com we're asking for your opinion about what the revival of border controls between the members means for the future of the union let's look at the results on the screen now rather hoff we can see that i think that the end of the e.u. is the only way to fend off an immigration crisis eighteen percent think that europe has failed to find unity in troubled times sixteen percent say it's just a temporary setback in the integration process and the same number we can see there say that the e.u. has proved to be workable good to hear what you have to say cast your vote and r.t. dot com. libyan officials say they've seized two ships on route from qatar carrying weapons intended for the rebels there are said to have been carrying over one hundred belgian made assault rifles along with thousands of rounds of ammunition so far only the french 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 marty doris roar from the center for research on globalization. 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 t they cannot supply arms to the rebels this is not new news either they've been saying this from march that they've been sending arms to the rebels 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 a military force that's being fought against by the rebels or whatever you want to

call them the transitional council forces revolution or 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 that the ball is in nato support the ball's not in libya's court they're fighting defensively that's the reality of the situation the ones who are being bombed they don't want to have planes overhead it's not it in their hands so right now i don't see nato winning unless they invade or they continue to arm the rebels put it's way it's frankly it's too soon to say and i heard that hillary clinton said we're going to follow this to the end i don't think this is looking good for nato and if they invade they have to be fools every house in tripoli is armed they have neighborhood defenses set up and every single house is on it all the people here are carrying weapons if they don't like a death if they were to turn those weapons on him. a lot more still to come on the program including brand new ways to satisfy china's energy hunger some siding against the future of the fukushima disaster china is searching for advanced

technology to make atomic power safe but. we report of the children with a rare condition a fragile skin and their battle to improve treatment but the problem here in russia . first the dutch court has ruled that the netherlands was responsible for the deaths of three bosnian muslims after the fall of jury the bosnian war the judges have ordered the government to pay out compensation to the relatives of those killed the victims were support staff for the dots un peacekeeping force among those muslims who took shelter in the un protected enclave the memory executed by bosnian serbs when peacekeepers forced them out of the compound along with thousands of other eight thousand bosnian muslim men and boys were killed in srebrenica in july one thousand nine hundred. exeunt a private she's a political analyst based in belgrade has told me that it's the u.n. who should take responsibility. the soldiers who are under a u.n.

mandate there is 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 if the wind is liable to one lawsuit it may be liable to lawsuits all over the world at the end of the day it was under the u.n. flag that the whole mission was being run and the one had the responsibility for demilitarizing srebrenica however and we have testimony of dutch soldiers several dutch soldiers who actually said that when they tried to demilitarize the zone. this arm of the muslim fighters actually they received instructions from new york from the seat of the u.n. to go easy on the demilitarization so at the end of the day the dutch were left holding the bag so to speak they were very very to shoulder the blame. don't forget

we also have plenty of other stories available for you on our web site online all the time dot com here's a quick look at what's there right now you can find out how laser pens have become considered dangerous as guns in russia's republic of chechnya leader has banned the devices. and catches up with an italian. who can make the stone magically stay afloat and even fly you can find out how it all t. don't come. on a visit to russia's north caucasus prison dmitri medvedev has declared that the death of the lawyer said to get magnitsky in custody has highlighted the problems facing human rights in the country he also touched on extremism and intolerance which he believes must be forced by the whole spectrum of society are going off this report

. a lot of issues were on the table at this meeting president need to be to focused on the role of the civil society and combat terrorism in preventing on resolving ethnic conflicts and also be discussed the investigation looking into the death of city among the needs to be a lawyer who was accused of being for over huge money laundering scheme in russia but died in prison if it falls huge waves of criticism both in russia and among the international community talking about extremism and even mediated said that even though a lot of progress has been made over the past few years there are still a long way to go before this problem could be fully resolved and just one of the latest example stand next to extremism in russia is the death of duty done a former russian army officer was serving chechnya but was jailed after having been found guilty of feeling attraction girl service long sentence was released but was

killed just around a month ago and even though it's not clear police sponsible for this murder they did trigger some racist comments this meeting was being held in the city of nudgee in the caucasus of course a very important region for the authorities when it comes to combat terrorism according to russia's police chief this year alone 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 wall of anti terror operation so quite a lot of things are happening in the caucasus and quite a lot of things are discussed have this meeting as well. the accident of japan's fukushima facility triggered safety fans around the world forcing some countries to think twice about using nuclear energy but for energy hungry china it seems is to monza so high there's simply no alternative as 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 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 the arena 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 other alternative energy supplies nuclear power is seen as the best bet by the chinese government the problem facing authorities is trying to convince

a sometimes. republic 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 henry morton azzi beijing. 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 a tsunami and earthquake there scolded the local governor and threaten to withhold aid to the region if he didn't provide a clear plan for reconstruction the former ministers behavior angered local people and japan's most prominent opposition party and the front to all earthquake victims . a double bomb attack is killed at least thirty five and wounded forty seven

in a semi dominated tell north of iraq's capital baghdad police reports say insurgents first detonated the car bomb near the local council building this was followed by a second explosion at a roadside bomb targeting those who gathered to help the victims of the first blast . killing four people in baghdad's green zone where government and embassy. it's a rare and incurable disease and here in russia suffer a say it's ignored by the medical establishment known as the means children have skin so delicate that even just a simple touch can break it down a pushover is met the families who are coping with the on this 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 below zero or 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 right your cookbook thing is 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 lisa is only five but she already knows her diagnosis better than any doctor her mother knows there is no cure and with proper medication her daughter could lead an almost normal life but it's way too expensive while using it it's such a rare disease that it's pretty much been forgotten about there's no states the court to there's no money and no specialists. general manager 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 what you saw 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 then 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 a newbie 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 was the anything to make her daughter's life long unhappy. she's my beautiful alongst back to princess and if there is it be that can hurt my brain so i'll take them all away no matter what the cost or julie is also behind a newly created foundation to help other children now people from all over the country are calling her and it seems the number of suffering children is far greater than the previously estimated one hundred s. for louisa she bravely takes on life with a smile despite her deteriorating state as a sign of trust she told me her biggest dream there may be 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 the old dream of one day waking up to a life without paying. r.t. moscow. well it brings up a bit of them with

a summary of all my new stories in about seven minutes when i'm in town the business update is next with kareena. hello welcome to business thanks for joining me this hour 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 to a new gongs when they mature louise cooper from b.b.c. partners 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 crease 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 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. but look at the markets now or prices are climbing the stock holding a two day drop speculation of those growing demand for oil in both the u.s. and china the world's two largest energy users by sweet is trading at ninety six dollars a barrel and brant is at over one hundred thirteen dollars. u.s. stocks are wavering between small gains and losses after the dow jones industrial average had its best week in two years dow's up one percent in the day trading it has been as many as nineteen points after the commerce department reported an
