all. twenty years ago or just country.
10:02 pm
where did it take. shaking the foundations of you takes a major step away from the deal by imposing new customs controls on. germany. causing concerns at my breach of visa free travel. court has found the netherlands responsible for the deaths of three muslims executed in. after being. in the netherlands and europe to challenge the united nations and from prosecution some critics saying the world should. leave these officials say nato is breaking down security council's. claiming to have intercepted a shipment of weapons from.
10:03 pm
around the world this is. thanks for joining us. broken ranks with other european countries in the free travel by bringing by border controls with germany and sweden and intensifying customs checks the german minister has urged fellow citizens to boy called the country for holidays reflect. seen as a violation of the key principle of free movement between you countries the border was introduced by the minority government. pressure from the anti immigration danish people sponte. report. 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
10:04 pm
itself but also has been severely opposed to a lot of the e.u. officials in brussels and especially by denmark's neighbor germany they insist that this is a violation of the shogun 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 laws 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 really go 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
10:05 pm
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 and 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. and demotion messerschmitt a european parliament member from denmark says these measures a justified and other aimed at 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 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
10:06 pm
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 taxes that you want to police a 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 trees 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. stay with that soon all stories this hour including china's hopes for safer nuclear energy while some countries are shunning atomic power after the. china which faces surging power demolishes has less options and wants to make it safer. also
10:07 pm
report on the children with the red conditional friend giles came to the plateau to improve treatment for the problem in russia. even officials claim they've intercepted two ships carrying weapons from qatar reportedly intended for and to conduct a competent government spokesman. hundred belgian made assault rifles along with thousands of rounds of ammunition and so far only france has admitted weapons to leave is rebels fighting against his regime the un security council in february passed a resolution prohibiting any military supplies to b.b.'s and. yet from the center for research on globalization is sure that nato is violating. it definitely is violating the united nations sanction as well as international law there's something called the a t t. t t v not supplying arms to the rebels
10:08 pm
this is not new news either they've been saying this from march that they've been sending arms to the rebels i haven't been restricted here in libya our guys 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 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 than the actual libyan military the ball is in nato support 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 the ones who have planes overhead it's not
10:09 pm
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. and court has ruled that bin netherlands was responsible for the deaths of three bosnian muslims in this represents a massacre during the bosnian war compensation has been ordered to the relatives of those killed the victims were working for the dutch un peacekeepers and sought shelter in that compound with dozens of others they were executed by posting it said after the peacekeepers forced them and other muslims to leave the base around eight thousand men and boys who were killed in europe's west massacres. and an exam
10:10 pm
to publish a political analyst based in belgrade the un and not the dutch to back responsibility . the soldiers were 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.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 under the u.n. flag that the whole mission was being run and the you one had the responsibility for demilitarizing sort of brain itself however and we have testimony of dutch soldiers several dutch soldiers who actually said that when they tried to demilitarize the zone this armed the moslem 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
10:11 pm
holding the bag so to speak there were there were there to shoulder the blame. and for norm the stories we are covering go home and find that at least there is a lethal laser the spotlight a shining on action against what it is using a laser and trying to damage the ad line pilots including a ban in russia where there's been an increase in that he sees to gain ground. troops out within a two. model a model and marvel who can make the star and magnificently stay afloat and even fly bite out of her top. former i.m.f. chief dominique strauss kahn is facing fresh rape allegations this time from the
10:12 pm
french writer who's filed a new complaint against him she says he has turned her right to interview here in paris flat six years ago that he could face up to fifteen years that he was found guilty after any investigation and trial that is threatening to no end to proceedings in replying the prosecution against him in new york of hate here is difficult is how i would report the hotel housemate the keys the eck using him of attempted rape as you lied and has criminal connections but french history professor all that is there at case that even if strauss kahn is going to have his political career is effectively out there. 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 dominick's trust is out the arjun's of this case it's significant that just on bonds mother who is a fairly important figure in the socialist party and who urged her daughter back in
10:13 pm
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 in oblong known among socialists along a man did 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 a year is a completely different story and a number of women in fact are. which is what they call which they called the grand old men of the socialist party are plotting their clapping one another on the park right now because trust khan seems to be on the verge of of being liberated from new york city's judicial system. and coming up later this hour financial analyst max keiser on stage to have a draw a parallel between the pressure woes of greece and the mounting debt of the us the
10:14 pm
full program is coming out to the knees but here's a preview. said many times the i.m.f. is after the u.s. next s. and p. one of the rating agencies who work hand in hand with these international banks there's the managing director john chambers spoke to reuters and he said quote if the u.s. government misses a payment it goes to di di di di di that's lower than triple say and that's what they say greece is worth triple saying well why doesn't the greek government come out with a ratings report saying america's that's where the dig there for so you american debt you need a place to put that cash by greek debt and we'll give you a play all the options on the acropolis ourselves you don't need a i.m.f. and wore black rather go in there and sell the acropolis regarded our service to our club a. p.r. accident at japan's fukushima facility triggered safety fears around the world
10:15 pm
forcing some countries to think twice about easing nuclear an injury but for an entry hungry china a things if the demands are so high there's simply no alternative as henry morton now reports if focusing instead on developing new technologies to make tonic clonic 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 than 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
10:16 pm
products ploy and that public outcry following the problems at the fukushima plant led to beijing putting a freeze on approvals for 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 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
10:17 pm
eighty percent of chinese energy needs to 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 is trying to convince a sometimes and 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 henry morton r.t. beijing. the crisis is continuing to manifest itself in other areas including the political arena the japanese minister responsible for rebuilding after the tsunami and earthquake disaster has quite enough to just delete following remarks he made in the disaster region which were seen as offensive three months i'm also on good locals and politicians are using to shake the hand of
10:18 pm
a governor he's sold and waiting and threatening to withhold aid departure is a blow to the japanese government under fire for its handling of the prices prime minister khan is likely to face increased pressure to step down himself after their latest setback. five people have died and dozens have been injured in a double time going town near the capital but it does most died outside a local council building when a car bomb exploded nearby with rescuers and security forces hit by a second blast as they hold the victims of the first recent upsurge in militant at times has prompted the political debate within the country on whether the us should be asked to keep troops for longer in the country those fifteen thousand american military who remain to leave by a deadline at the end of the year. nearly two hundred african migrants have reportedly drowned in the red sea after a boat sign called sudan's north eastern coast only three people have been rescued
10:19 pm
by the search for possible survivors continues the boat was reportedly trying to smuggle refugees to saudi arabia from countries neighboring stood on board the vessel called the disaster. the american captain of a boat who wish to find abandon vessels in appropriate. leaving greece for gaza has been freed by a court up to four days in jail to other activists are still in custody after trying to set sail in another boat the international thirteen that wants to bring aid to blockade of gaza but accuses greece of american and israeli pressure sounds it will. void of blood shed after nine were killed by israeli commanders on a similar convoy a year ago has offered to deliver they itself. britain's most read newspaper the tabloid news of the world has been accused of hacking into a mobile phone of an murdered girl and it deal for exclusive stories fetching your old money doubt that disappeared in nine years ago here in london before being

found dead a man who's already been jailed for phone hacking already allegedly deleted messages remotely from her for giving false hope to her parents that she was still alive and interfering with the work of police major alternative or major advertisers such as ford has started pulling advertising from the newspaper. it's a rare and incurable disease and in russia suffer as say it's ignored by the medical establishment. means children have schemes so delicate that even just a simple touch can break it off his diarrhea pushed over has led to families who are coping with they are as and even 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 blows or even that makes her skin less
10:21 pm
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 lisa are known as butterfly children however in russia it's as if they don't exist right you can use 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 these is 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 with. 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 to 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 which saw well it's
10:22 pm
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 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 julie says life expectancy for such kids in russia is very
10:23 pm
low and shoot anything to make her daughter's life long unhappy. that she's not beautiful alongst back to princess and if there is a pea 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 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. federation
10:24 pm
of american scientists that proposed. well she's driving a wedge between moscow and washington. the federation of american scientists come up with a report that russia's concerns and i'm joined by. thank you very much for joining me. for what i understand russians are not against. the more
10:25 pm
advanced and the more capable ones could you expand on that well we started this study a couple of months ago to look into the technical side of what might be behind russia's concerns so. the narrative in the west has been that russia is ideologically opposed to meddle missile defense but we wanted to see if there's actual technical concerns what we found is that 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 and phases three and four where the higher speed interceptors will be brought online and our analysis shows if the system is reconfigured a little bit that it will have some ability against russian i.c.b.m. so there is some legitimate concern from from the russian side as to the technical ability and principle of the system being. able to intercept russian i.c.b.m. you make two very important point that the effectiveness of the interceptors is
10:26 pm
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 countermeasures and decoys 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 whereas it can be easily overcome
10:27 pm
and has never been realistically tested still you know you see in the report you touch upon the technical aspect you know for russia's concerns but from what i've been covering him from what i understand the more important part of freshness 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 often my team my colleague has proposed a drone based system so you'd have drones iran. 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
10:28 pm
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 boosting missile it's called the boost phase difference 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
10:29 pm
that we have actual numbers if you look at the congressional research service reports it would be four hundred forty interceptors based on forty three ships now these are mobile platforms and that is part of the problem so instead of being less of a concern going from the bush administration to the obama administration. this is raised all sorts of red flags in russia the new system there's something interesting i read. the house defense bill and it funds and mandated ministration to conduct the study on the technical and operational visibility of space based interceptors that's from one of the papers here space based interceptors that sounds an awful lot like reagan's. space shuttle plans which the american physical society concluded was a hoax but nonetheless billions of dollars were spent on research he's. that the current missile defense program will also could turn into a hole where money goals and disappears despite what the scientists are saying well
10:30 pm
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's definitely proven true.
