the shutters are robin dunbar and become cheap on a strict new laws on border controls which have already caused anger from a cure been a busy they say my breach agreements on a visa free travel. the protests descend on a secret us moocher to sit in england saying that even the british government doesn't know what goes on and highlighting the increase in close american bases popping up world one. nation is undefined over canadians the violators of the un sleeve in all this and as he doesn't know let's say they've been deceptive to the shipment of the belgian made weapons intended for rebel. how to welcome to our t twenty four hour news life from moscow my name is you'd

actually main story now denmark has broken ranks with other european countries in that shot again free travels and by bringing back border controls with germany and sweden and intensifying customs checks the german minister has aged fellow citizens to boycott the country will hold a day reflecting over what's seen as a violation of the key principle of free movement between the e.u. countries they believe border concept was introduced by the minority center right government under pressure from the un to immigration danish people's policy. reports. 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.q. officials in brussels and especially by denmark's neighbor germany they insist that

this is a violation of the shandon agreement of the open borders in europe and they also say that this is not a wise move at all to make during a particularly volatile time for the european union when countries are bickering over border disputes and over cash and money issues some believe that this actually may signal the end off united europe but the danish officials insist that this will last 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 their disputes over the flow of illegal migrants across their borders and we also have to keep in mind the fact that the extremely volatile situation in northern africa is not going to help the situation in any way since most of the migrants who do come to europe

could do flood countries like denmark belgium or italy and france actually do call 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. made a european parliament member from denmark says these measures a justified and stopping illegal activities in the country. 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 well 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 the everyday 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 or customs control the army here and whatever publicly funded institution to protect you so i think it's reasonable that we are spending some. 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. under our website r.t. dot com where i ask you also the revival of border controls between. means for the future of the union and at the moment around half of the things that bring border controls is the only way to fend off immigration crisis twenty percent say it's just a temporary said integration process twenty three percent are convinced the union has proved to be and workable and finally eighteen percent think if europeans

contrariety unity in troubled times the union is doomed let us know what you're saying that. calls for independence from us militarization and getting large in britain one of america's most trusted strategic allies in the laser show frustration and peace activists have picketed a top secret u.s. military base in yorkshire in england set to become part of the missile defense shield and there's a lower. and it reports the demonstrators claim the british authorities don't fully know themselves what's going on. 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. symbolizes what's wrong with the special relationship between britain and the united states here we have a. us control the british 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. jazz in poland and the czech republic where the u.s. . bases worry that having the facility here will put the area in danger heightening the risk of an attack by anyone who wants to disable the shield but unlike in eastern europe the government here has put up no fight a toll in fact it doesn't even know what goes on here there isn't a single british official in parliament or in the intelligence 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 in bodies ray can envisage dimly early warning missile detection system that was dubbed the star wars program it's secretive based far away from u.s. soil and some say it's a step towards the u.s. domination and militarization of space people demonstrate here campaigning for the closure of this space and the others like is around the country they want to. this land and bring it back under the control of the british government and its people it's not working as men with help becomes part of the missile defense shield it's building another gold bulls satellite structure bringing the total to thirty three despite local and national opposition growing not reducing the u.s. influence in europe. menwith hill yorkshire. only been officials claim they have intercepted two ships carrying weapons from qatar that were reportedly intended for iran to conduct a competent and government spokesman says they delivering committed over one

hundred belgian made assault rifles along with thousands of rounds of ammunition so far only france has admitted weapons to me there's rebels fighting against gadhafi his regime because i think here's a council in february passed a resolution prohibiting any military supplies three beer and marty darrius nazir mariah from the center for research on globalization is sure that nato is violating the embargo it. definitely is violating the united nations sanction as well as international law there's something called the a t t and. you're not supplying 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 travelled 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 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 are better weapons than the actual. the military 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 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 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 are they have neighborhood defenses set up in every single houses aren't

all the people here are carrying weapons if they don't like a daffyd they would turn those weapons on him. this is all c.n.n. stay with us the most stories this hour including china's hopes will save the nuclear industry some countries a shiny atomic power after the fukushima catastrophe china which faces surging power demands has less options and wants to make it known say that. and will report on the children with a rare condition a fragile skin and that battle to improve treatment for the problem in russia. dutch court has ruled that the nothingness was responsible for the deaths of three both me and muslims in this represents a massacre or compensation has been ordered to the relatives of those killed but it seems we're working for the dutch un peacekeepers and had sought shelter in their compound with thousands of others they were executed by both me and sometimes after the peacekeepers forced them and other muslims to be based around eight thousand

men and boys were killed in srebrenica europe's the west massacres since we're all guilty and alexandra a political analyst based in belgrade. and they touch who back responsibility. the soldiers were made 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.s. to a member state and this is tricky business because if the you want is liable to one lawsuit it may be liable to lawsuits all over the world at the end of the day it was done through the year one flag that the whole mission was being run and the you one had the responsibility for demilitarizing sort of the newts however and we have the 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 there were there were there to shoulder the blame. former i.m.f. chief dominique strauss kahn is facing fresh rape allegations this time from a french writer has filed a new complain the case him a french fry to claims have tended to rape had back in two thousand and three but his lawyers say they will see if. this adds to the new york assault case has already facing their nation victim of that case is seeing a newspaper which alleged that she was a prostitute but even if karen is cleared of all charges his political career is effectively over according to french history professor roberts there and. i don't think it's political sasa nation i think it really is a case of political suicide i really think that on. the arjun's of this

case it's significant that christiane by no means mother who is a fairly important figure in the socialist party and who urged her daughter back in two thousand and three not to say anything about the attack has now come out of the closet and insists that stross khan and his sexual habits. long known among socialists long amended but nobody said anything about them. so he may emerge a free man but whether his freedom is going to lead to the at least is a completely different story and a number of women in fact are appalled that the elephants is which is what they call which they call the grand old men of the socialist party are plotting their clapping one another on the back right now because strauss kahn seems to be on the verge of of being liberated from new york city's judicial system.

the accident at japan's fukushima facility triggered safety fears around the world forcing some countries to think twice about using nuclear energy but for energy hungry china it seems that demand that's so high they simply. and as henry morton reports it 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 elements 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 of the benefits. thore and based reactors certainly have advantages release from the story and is greater of them from uranium the by products from using story in

a less toxic than from uranium and it's much harder to make weapons from those by products and that public outcry following the problems at the fukushima plant led to beijing putting a freeze on approvals for all 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 for months 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 right now 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 and 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 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 but by the chinese government the problem facing authorities is trying to convince a sometimes just republic that nuclear energy is a safe alternative so they are investing millions of dollars into foreign research like this in order to troy those fears to rest in so doing maybe showing the rest of the world a new paltz clean energy and we all see. if you're sure a crisis is continuing to manifest itself in other areas including the political arena they japanese minister responsible for rebuilding after the tsunami and earthquake disaster has quit after just a week following remarks he made in the disaster region which was seen as offensive

matsumoto i'm going to blow things and politicians refusing to shake the hand of the governor he scolded for keeping him waiting and threatening to withhold aid the departure is a blow to the japanese government under fire for its handling of the crisis prime minister kan is likely to face increased pressure to stop down himself after the latest setback. people have died and dozens have been injured in a double bomb the time at a town in the iraqi capital baghdad mo's died outside a local council building of one a car bomb exploded nearby with rescuers and security forces hit by a second blast as they hold the victims of the fast and recent upsurge in militant the times has prompted a political debate within the country on whether the us should be asked i keep troops pull longer in the country almost fifty thousand american military are main to leave by a deadline at the end of the game. nearly two hundred african migrants have

reportedly drowned in the red sea after a boat as sung called sudan's northeastern coast only three people have been rescued by this search for possible survivors continues the bird was reportedly trying to smuggle refugees to saudi arabia from countries neighboring sudan a fire on board the vessel cause the disaster. it's a rare and incurable disease and in russia suffer a say it's ignored by the medical establishment known as need be it means children have skated so delicate that even just a simple touch can break it off his diapers call has led to families who are coping but they are his and you might 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 lisa has a rare genetic condition epidermal this is below zero or even that makes her skin less than as a butterfly wing yes like 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 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 was only five but she already knows her diagnosis better than any doctor her mother knows there is no cure with proper medication her daughter could lead an almost normal life but it's way too expensive while using it it's such a rare disease that it's pretty much been forgotten about there's no state support so there's no money and no specialists. 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. thought 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 am tied up in many other places so i don't have much time for these patients. two year old nice day is a clear example of what good care and access to proper treatment can do for a butterfly child her mother says she's probably the only girl in russia who from the very first days of her life was taken care of properly according to international standards when she was twenty five days old i took her away from one of the best maternal towards in the country. in theater all of the marks of the doctors phineas stole her skin back then she did look like an to be patient and 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 cash to be looking after her including her mother julia says life expectancy for such kids in russia is very

low and she has anything to make her daughter's life long unhappy on the third or princess she's not beautiful and then expected princess and if there is a pea that can hurt my breasts 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 as 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 then maybe a 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 the old dream of one day waking up to a life without paying. they

federation of american scientists. which is. a federation of america. thank you very much for joining me. for what i understand.

of this study a couple of months ago to look into. what might be behind concerns so. russia's ideologically opposed to middle missile defense we wanted to see if there's actual technical concerns what we found is the phase adoptive approach to missile defense is broken up into two parts number one and number two where the low potency interceptors the block one interceptors are on line phases three and four where the higher speed interceptors will be brought online and our analysis shows if the system is reconfigured that it will have some ability against russian i.c.b.m. so there is legitimate concern from the russians. as to the technical ability and principle of the system being able to intercept russian i.c.b.m. 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 these things that those arguments can be 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 for instance a salvo of missiles that incorporate your measures and when you go 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 incoming on and they know 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 so from the military planners in china and russia they have to pretend or plan for the worst pretend like the system works where is it can be

easily overcome and has never been realistically tested 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 him for what i understand the more important part of precious frustration over american missile defense plan is that to 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 and 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 there's various people have proposed different systems that might work postal from my team i call. ali has proposed a drone based system so you'd have drones circling around north korea for instance and this would be

a threat to russia of course because it's located around north korea and when they see a missile being launched they were captured before it releases its warhead in space than they could home in on the hot exhaust coming out of the you know the boosting missile it's called the boost phase the but apparently it's not been picked up by the pentagon there is an opinion that there is this hawkish mentality that flourished under the bush administration pushing for more defense spending and 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 raise all sorts of red flags in russia the new system there's something interesting i read. the house defense bill and it 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. plans which the american physical society concluded was a hoax but not. alas billions of dollars dollars spent on research do you think that the current the self defense program will also could turn into

a hole where money goals and disappears despite what the scientists are saying well 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 and 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 whole you can create a hole in the defenses by just shooting prior missiles to get the local interceptors to to intercept that one and then for the future you have a big hole in your defense that you can. that you can use to send a missile through so the scientists know that why are they spending money on it they're studying the concept they're not actually building it as far as i know at the moment but it.
