feel are too extreme and which even other local muslims feel threatened by our tease us are silly reports. bearded wearing a comma flushed jacket and constantly surrounded by men fought a belt is hard not to notice he heads the islamic fundamentalist group sharia for belgium in september the group opened the country's first sharia court in antwerp to mediate domestic disputes among muslims with our own system our own belief. of handling things if you want to accept it accept it if you don't that's your problem but there is a judgement day if you if you're a muslim you will go to paradise if you are this believer you will go to hell. any further controversy may have ended there if that was all there is to it but videos such as these. have caused outrage. the freedom of speech and. the hatred incitement to violence starts

we have. a leader shot here for he openly. said that. i should be. should be killed because i am an enemy of islam in january and work or prosecutor recommended two years in prison and a fine of five hundred fifty euros for about the same for inciting hatred and violence against non muslims that's in addition to fourteen police court convictions and criminal convictions for robbery defamation and violence. just a few people maybe a dozen of people maybe two dozen of people dressed like me. middle age. and green flag. and this is a joke yet it has its repercussions on other muslims. this kind of group of course they are moved them but they have no religious background it is

a minority perhaps in search of an identity but. that's a big difference and the misses they're using it's scary and it's freaking people language. people unfortunately just kind of group feels about image of islam and most muslims condemn this kind of ideology this is a misinterpretation of her secret for. muslims comprise about six percent of the belgian population one of the highest rates in europe and is expected to rise to more than ten percent by two thousand and twenty the muslim who live in belgium they say. they are belgium from the region and you know rigid and. mostly radical groups such as those of islamic fundamentalists comprise a minority and it's not representative of the muslim community in belgium nevertheless politicians analysts and even the belgian muslims themselves acknowledge that the problem is what these groups symbolize radicalization the

process it spreads and the allure of extreme views. tests are so your r t brussels. some world news in brief for you this hour two people have been wounded by israeli airstrikes on the gaza strip a three year old girl was injured by one of the strikes which hit a house in the town of beit lahiya five other attacks targeted a weapon manufacturing facility and several tunnels throughout the gaza strip the strikes happened only hours after the u.n. chief visited the hamas controlled territory in a bid to encourage israeli palestinian relations. at least six people have been killed and more than twenty injured in colombia after a group using pickup trucks fired homemade mortars at a police station thirty five officers were inside the building when the attack occurred in the town of reka this comes just one day after a motorcycle packed with explosives blew up outside

watchful eyes of webcams are about to be set up across russia head of next month's presidential elections the move was proposed by premier of lead me to putin that's after thousands of people took to the streets late last year calling for transparency in the election process you got a piece going off as the story. inch after inch mile after mile big brother is preparing to cast his eyes on polling stations as the massive campaign to install web cameras is in full swing across the entire nation but actually sometimes but i think if anything i ask for a central electoral commission which is to install web cameras at all polling stations across the country so that everyone can watch online what's happening there almost twenty four hours a day seven they want them there. the idea was put forward following the biggest protests in russia since the collapse of the u.s.s.r. with tens of thousands demanding fair elections so wiring up over ninety thousand

polling stations is the scale and around a half of a billion us dollars is the price tag. coming into the system is not be made only for one day we hold this project want only develop elections acknowledges but will also help modernize telecommunications infrastructure across the entire country. all cameras will be feeding the videos the film to local digital storage facilities after computer processing will be then sent to seven large storage and distribution centers via cable radio and satellite these centers will then broadcast the information to several web portals it's estimated that all together the cameras will film and broadcast four hundred and ninety years of video information in good quality however there is still down to this technology will help make the vote more transparent. you'll get a story i'm sure the observers are going to be able to check advance if these

cameras work or not. everyone knows about cameras in supermarkets but this still doesn't stop robberies from happening. every ballot box will be monitored by two cameras one with the general view and another with a close up of the slot there are many ways to rig and the cameras don't provide a hundred percent guarantee against them but using them should still make it much more difficult to stuff boxes of course there is nothing new. or web cameras. using them to monitor elections on such a scale is a first for any nation and regardless of the success of the idea everyone will be able to monitor the vote online not to mention no one is against having more real life observers on the spot in what was going on moscow. a special report on the negotiations between russia and the us about the missile defense system is up ahead but first here's kerry with the latest business.

thank you so much come to the business program here and i'll say russia is in a period of political transition delegates of the troika dialogue economic forum in moscow happened just scuffing the reforms the country needs to put in place following the march presidential election now in a cause or that is the events of business all to. also censored political cycle so it's important to assess the birds at the moment and form and in its understand want changes needs to be made in this of course will be one of the things asked over the rest of the course of this already offering their opinions and suggestions and support out for those are now joined by some good we're going to do i don't think much for joining us thank you for giving me the first person. i. want to get on with. i think all the solutions are actually listed in the prime

minister's article and did them with us last month they were here to say that russia should move away from state capitalism improve the governance. fight the people systemic corruption build an independent judiciary all of that will help to improve business and climate in the investment women bring back capital that has led the country in bringing new foreign direct investment in i'm sure russia russia is a bright future if this is done. thanks i will have more news from a forum later on in the day right now we're going to get marcus he was let's start with oil all is all of a pull full cost to show the u.s. odyssey with jobs last month the official figures will be out later today which investors will be keeping an eye on regarded as a leading indicator for economic activity on the full of course energy to moderate now you've got lights we've just a fraction up and brant is over a quarter of

a percent on the asian stock markets which are indeed. this friday off to china's gauge of non-manufacturing industries expanded but like spotted at a slower pace in january as the japan the stocks of managed to move off from an issue as investors had a vault of earnings to report to digest. among the strong full sone caught my eye it reported a staggering two point one billion. lost a billion two point one billion dollars loss for the last quarter last thursday's thought is now profit six point six percent as investors had sold down the shares to heads of the announcement the big news in asia today right now you can see the nikkei is down nearly half a percent and the high sign is just down a fraction this hour is now less than one hour ahead of their main bell in moscow the russian markets closed in the box on the they broke the disses added around

a quarter of a percent just. so we've got time for this hour as i say our correspondents are at the troika dialog to day at the forum so we have lots of news on. you're. wealthy british style it's apparently not on. the. market.

to find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines to cause a report. in broadcasting live from our studios in central moscow this is actually what have you with us. the u.n. negotiates a revised resolution taxed on syria which had russia's insistence is no longer a government ukraine calls for the removal of president assad be enforcement of a voluntary arms embargo have been dropped from the updated which is still pending approval by the security council. more killings are reported in egypt after two days of clashes with more than seventy deg with the authorities criticized for not doing enough thousands of protesters are also calling on the ruling military

council to a lack of power. plus the father of murdered former f.s.b. officer alexander litvinenko says he worked. it's accusing the kremlin of carrying out that r.p. goes to italy to get her story first hand. that does it for me coming up in about thirty minutes time my colleague carrie johnson will be here with a full look at your news but first up next our special report on the reset in u.s. russia relations and how it's affected by a controversial american plans for a missile defense system based in europe. the most vital national security interests of the united states would be most effectively realized not through hostility to russia matou cooperation with it. nicely and russia and the united states can reach a settlement of the establishment of a global missile defense system on. this plane research is in jeopardy even the new

strategic arms reduction treaty between moscow and washington has been unable to help. at a time of warmer bilateral relations needs whose top brass decided to deploy a missile defense system aimed at protecting europe but they were setting up too close to russia's borders and most go didn't view it as a friendly gesture. we want to defend the whole europe not just some european countries we want to european allies and friends to join in on missile defense strategy. solution he would use the event of the situation with a european missile defense system becoming unfavorable to russia we reserve the right to take no further steps in the nuclear does olbermann teria. the kremlin has repeatedly demanded that nato guarantees that the european missile defense shield

would pose no threat to russia's strategic interests so the west has refused to cooperate with moscow on the issue. intercontinental ballistic missiles are transported through snowbound russian forests under the cover of darkness. the movements are shrouded in secrecy the people in charge need to perform training drills and test the hardware on the move . suddenly the convoy comes to a halt there's a forest stream blocking the path. crossing it's quite a challenge for the drivers of motor vehicles weighing many tons. as specially

considering the carrying nuclear warheads. engine is make sure that the heavy launches safely reach the opposite bank with the most hazardous hurdle behind it the convoy is on the move again. as the convoy forges ahead to its destination they leave the forest and pass through villages the sound of powerful engines thundering past is becoming a common occurrence lately for local people. low carb or we need such missiles to defend russia we were good we would be crushed if we didn't have them. but that's all there is to it.

working when you hear them rumbling past you get a sense of great might there is no dealt we will be able to defend our country. without an agreement with the united states on missile defense and in the face of potential military threats russia was compelled to think of countermeasures. the country has declared in the past that it may withdrawal from the strategic arms reduction treaty and said it will introduce measures to counter the missile defense . we will go ahead with the deployment of our missile defense system it is beyond me is that this presupposes deployment of its components in poland in romania in a radar station in turkey obviously this will also until the is their mission of a base in spain for american ships equipped with the ag system.

it is obvious that the missile defense system will be targeted at the russian federation rather than some mythical middle eastern countries possessing a virtual missile. at least fifteen countries around the world have been involved with the nato missile defense shield. their radar stations in denmark and britain which is also host to interceptor missiles in. canada too is going to join the project anti missile functions will be given to norad the agency responsible for north america's air and outer space defense. japan has decided to assist the nato missile defense shield it's taking part in the manufacture of pages into septa missiles. japan is going to build a forward based radar station on its territory. a similar radar station has already been built in turkey. the czech republic rumania hungry and poland are ready to

allow nato as missile defense complexes to be placed on their territory. that it that would make a forward based american military presence which means the deployment of bases in post is so. republics notably in central asia is an element of u.s. global domination as a powerful ramified infrastructure any military base has the capacity to deploy units of agents supplying electronic intelligence. russia has taken adequate measures to counter such actions but i'm like nato it confines its activities to its own territory a radar station is being put on combat duty in the kaliningrad region russia's western most part. tactical missile systems are being deployed in the country's west and so they can hit any target within a radius of up to five hundred kilometers. what is most important is that the russian ballistic missiles are being gradually equipped with new warheads capable

of overcoming nato's missile defense system. this lift carries people down to a secret radar station in european russia it's tucked away deep underground in a few minutes time major will be on duty to protect russia's space. to get everything about the station is classified the equipment behind these doors is the responsibility of special officers the station itself can operate autonomously it has its own power source and water supply and a ventilation system in. washington knows only too well that russia can easily control the entire space of

eastern europe this radio is one of the instruments the military installation protects the moscow region from attack by ballistic missiles it's thought to be controlled by russia's president who is also commander in chief of the armed forces . some time ago russia suggested to the united states that they jointly control delta space over the middle east he was in a similar radio transmitters stationed in azerbaijan if nato is top brass agreed to cooperate they would receive reports of any unauthorized iranian missile launches that washington would see as a threat to america. britain has developed milicic missiles capable of hitting targets in the little beast in eastern europe this poses a threat to u.s. interests in the region. i don't agree with the u.s. government belief that this is a serious problem with iran is doing is they're using very simple

relevent nothing simple about rockets but the using very early generation rocket technology the only rockets they could build that could reach the united states would be enormous in size and not be mobile this city would have to be launched from fixed locations where the united states and russia if russia joined the united states could monitor these these missiles many in the united states dislike the views of theodore postol he maintains that the european missile defense system is ineffective the scientist estimates that it has no chance of protecting the united states from a rainy and missiles instead it creates problems for russia if russia believes is the fence is not needed but it doesn't pose a theoretical threat to russia. my guess is that the russian government will say ok

if you want to spend your national treasure this will help you so it solves the political problem and it provides a much more capable defense than with the united states currently built in goods. much cheaper. the professor believes that the purpose of nato is radar with europe is to track the movements of russian strategic weapons and to monitor russia's new military technologies. the real target could be russia but certainly it makes the people of europe less safe it draws them in in fact as a geo strategic pawn by great powers as they maneuver and use the missile defense shield not as a way to defend your not as a way to defend anybody in fact but to provide a first strike potential capability against the adversary.

this is how we are going to train ourselves in order to be ready for any situation . these people crossing a field of. have serious worries about the global situation. they feel that as long as nuclear weapons exist they need to know how to protect themselves. if they're to survive in the face of a real threat they need to have everything necessary close at hand. the coach tells them that a compass and a mobile phone unlikely to help. the problem is that we can only get our bearings by looking at tree branches there are more branches on the side where they are exposed to see. some light outside points

to the south. the people involved in a survival experiment will have to cover several kilometers in full gear their training mission is to reach an abandoned military base where they can hide from the harmful effects of radiation. exposure is that so much time and which of course his wife and it will be in as the u.s. presidential campaign become a horse race pitting incumbent proper bamma against republican mitt romney if this is really the case but. the close up team has been to the hub bar of screeching where the country's mineral wealth starts its way across the ocean.

now our team goes to the area. once named dr leonard wood looking to a different character to represent itself. for local businesses are striving to build the aviation capital of russia. then for the four by fours are made and can be tested to the limit. welcome to the only honest bridge of. russia close up on r t.

alexandra sites for the family live in a military camp that is off limits to the public. though i do you go and keep going on yourself keep going. alexander serves in a secret unit manning missiles when he's off to use he always makes a point of spending time with his wife and children. he's well aware of the standoff between nato and russia. it makes him apprehensive about what kind of future awaits his son's. room with the room of course my wife and i often talk about the future. we would like to see a bright future without crises. and over do we want everybody to live in peace and

we want everything to be just fine. the i.c.b.m. so accompanied by a come back to school the world today we have eyes covered ground very difficult conditions for a thrust forward to kill i do hope everything will pass off without any incidents. trucks carrying nuclear warheads lined up in a quiet glade the snowy forest provides good kemah flags for them together these mobile missile launches a cold and i go get him russian on the lingo they need to be ready for action at any moment. right dress section. attention. come on major section chief says all reporting unit is ready. studies fully. prepare the aggregate for. full haste. intercontinental ballistic missile known as

the s.s. twenty five to make this move a twenty one meters long it's almost two meters in diameter and weighs about forty five tons of fuel. despite its impressive propulsion the russian missile still hits targets with absolute precision mage's on its if joe is making sure that the missile launches always in working order moving military hardware. he's always fraught with danger. with this is a highly accurate weapon it has a range of up to ten thousand kilometers and lands within not more than two hundred meters from targets. you certainly realize that for the purposes of a nuclear strike this means a direct hit. the united states cannot give russian legal guarantees that the missile defense system is not directed against it this would be the wrong move as the matter consumes the defenses need.
