russia feels compelled to take countermeasures because the united states has refused to give legal guarantees demonstrating that the deployment of the american missile defense system in europe is not directed against russia. nato countries are in no mood to respect the deployment of them military installations to europe. new american military bases may soon be set up in kazakhstan going to stun turkmenistan and tajikistan. about i see a boy once russia has been encircled by a military base there is a new geo political reality will emerge we need to take this reality into account already today but and take measures to control potential threats to our security is up. meanwhile the view that the missile defense shield is too expensive is getting increasing currency inside the united states itself it

provides financial backing to the armed forces moreover the project is making millions of dollars from nato subcontractors in various countries. between two thousand and five and two thousand and nine the u.s. has spent fifteen billion dollars and the price paid for the entire program that we are dealing with right now here in two thousand and eleven is another hundred fifty billion dollars that's larger than many country's entire military budgets. some of the funding for the missile defense system in europe is being put to use in poland and north the small village of rijeka is home to a high security installation. the base used to be manned by polish air force pilots soviet made fun to still serve as a reminder of the fact that poland was once a member of the warsaw pact an organization formed off to world war two by the.

u.s.s.r. in response to nato. the old warplanes will be scrapped by the u.s. troops who arrive here shortly they'll be bringing missiles with them. local residents have already been told that they won't be getting any compensation for having the new arsenal placed so close to their homes. and i don't know if we are not overjoyed at the prospect of these weapons being deployed a few hundred metres from our homes on the most you've got the missiles will pose a threat to the local population of over one thousand people. elizabeth a demand sca a schoolteacher came to reject of a from warsaw a long time ago she knows only too well what the villages think about the military installation then use the force and as opposed to this most of the people even here are farmers. and they of course they were very war it's an absolute hearing use of

me sound deployment for the time being though like the basin we. print ways. but even first graders in the village of logic of a are aware of the military base. but the schoolchildren don't fully understand the threat so that teaches bring them up to date in the classroom. window good morning you found three steak you see it's. just gotten them and today we start with a history lesson. elisabetta demands go teaches her pupils about military conflicts she insists the people should never forget history's lessons if you check conflict is to be avoided. the military base in regular is in full view of the school as the teacher tells her pupils about world war two they visualize the base as a symbol of the past the present and the future. just the sh'ma of german

come in can no longer sink ships the artist so-called military style doesn't mean his succumbs to fashion instead it's an attempt to create works of art using something that was originally intended for destruction and murder. you don't think there's going to be and you can make anything you like from these old will shape mine it's you know you can make sculptures out of them you can even make a race car. coming in those from news bulletins that missile defense components will soon be installed close to his country. he says nato missiles can easily be turned into beautiful sculptures. any writer with the amount of effort spent on making such weapons would be much better spent funding the arts.

closer to a compromise the u.n. they can shape the revised resolution text on syria which at russia's insistence is no longer a regime change. after free days of intense debate united nations security council members are sending new elements of a possible future resolution on syria to their governments for deliberation get all the latest details from new york ahead in the program. more killings are reported in egypt after two days of clashes left more than seventy dead military regime criticize for not doing enough. class the father of murdered former. under the says he regrets accusing the kremlin carrying out his son's death.

international news in college twenty four hours a day without. russia is claiming a diplomatic victory at the un after members of the security council agreed to take a more balanced stance on syria calls for the removal of president assad and in force with the voluntary arms embargo had been dropped from a revised resolution text which is still pending approval from moscow is a warning it will oppose any attempts to even hint at targeting the syrian regime parties and situation as more. after ssri days of diplomatic deadlock over this arab and western backed regime change resolution it looks like russia's calls that it would not support such resolutions have finally been heard and we're seeing somewhat of

a game changer take place delegates and diplomats seem to have agreed on new elements that they are considering putting into a new document and we do know that these new elements are being sent over to governments at home for consideration approval and deliberation and for more we know the russians amounts that are to the u.n. has said that this does not mean that anything has been fully decided yet and russia continues to reiterate that even if the hint of a regime change clause continues to be presented in such a resolution it would not be supported now what we what we're hearing and some reports that this clause will actually be non-existent in this new text being considered whereas earlier the arab league and the west have been seeing that the syrian leader needs to step down if this does not happen within fifteen days further measures could take place another clause that we're hearing is going to be removed from this document is the arms embargo that russia has also been opposing

but from what we understand what will continue or mean in a new text is a support of a facilitation of a political transition now of course they have to again say that some of the details are still largely up in the air some diplomats are saying that a vote could come very shortly as soon as on friday others are saying that it's going to take a little more time monday possibly we will just have to wait and see exactly how events play out the security council in the days to come. for us is committed to seeing a change of power in damascus to strengthen its position in the middle east most of you have politics first magazine editor. western interest in the conflict in syria isn't guided by wanting to advance human rights democracy or the rule of law in the region if it was about that then we'd probably see an american naval flotilla off the coast of saudi arabia which happens to be one of the most repressive brutal

regimes in the world but it follows a pro western foreign policy syria is a huge player in middle eastern politics and the west principally america has a very problematic relationship with syria so it would be very much within america's interests for the syrian government for president assad to fall from power and for a more accommodating a more sort of pro western government to come to power what should that happen that would give. almost dominance politically in the middle east so instead of western governments the british and the american and the french ones talking about president assad stays being numbered they should be more responsible in their outlook and the main focus should be on bringing pace to syria what are still ahead the electoral eyes watching our web cam deciding if coming presidential elections in russia in a move transparency. to katie at the business desk. there the question is.

a professor of international relations mark almond says their forces in egypt actually want more turmoil. the police are very demoralized they took a beating if you like barak they were defenders of his regime and of the army eventually we got rid of him but maybe people who want to use this for their own purposes the one hand the muslim brotherhood has accused the government of failing of being in some way responsible for the riots they won the elections to parliament they want a quick transfer part of them on the other hand quite a few of the people in the streets protesting are happy about the muslim brotherhood literally elections and they may feel that disorder on the streets might give them more influence than they have actually with the electorate at launch in egypt and then as i say that maybe people will say we need a firm hand and we can provide it but it either way it's not a happy prospect for a smooth transition to a better egypt. where we live today or what you think about what's happening in egypt today we're asking why a car has not yet returned to the country following last year's resolution log on

days in a london clinic slowly dying from a toxic substance possibly consumed through a cup of tea even before police in london started questioning suspects the victim's father was actively accusing the russian government today by their admits he was saying only what the west wanted to hear. of course i realize russia's f.s.b. and the idiot enough to take polonium to london sprinkle it over some heads and leave traces everywhere and their suspect andrey lugovoy is not a fool either it was anger and blind hatred speaking inside of me viger now believes his son fell victim to his own game of double agents now he wants his words to be heard but the media outside russia which once beat down his door for interviews now won't even reply to his requests. why is that one because they like it when i scold the regime i was a root treasure for them all the while there are very few people who would say as

many horrible things about putin as i did. live in two thousand and eight but the only thing uncle flett russia or sanctuary need is settled in the sleeping quiet town of sinegal it offered to new anonymous life the man claimed putin was his number one enemy so hiding in europe he believed was the only safe solution today was the only thing and co is still afraid to open this door not because of putin though but because of his landlord to whom hill has a lot of money this miserable life has made him a slave of his sanctuary. but surely sold everything he had in russia to come to eataly he opened a small business several years ago but it went bankrupt things got worse after the seventy three year old had buried his wife but are now fears her casket could be removed because he hasn't paid the cost of a burial plot and it's been months since the electricity was shuttled to his flat

he's lost forty euros went on a gas canister and that is gone to. this is how i will myself look at that i've been this door to let the southern wind inside. there is east and there is russia through my homeland for. tourists i want to go home to russia. i do want to stay here. in the great sure r t city ghalia eataly. will come your way in the program a community conundrum muslims in belgium are divided according to plan it from the left in this group proposing radical new laws. the german chancellor is in china asking for help in investment for the euro and it seems she might get it china as a prime minister says the country is now considering contributing to european

rescue funds going merkel is on an official visit to beijing where she's been trying to reassure the chinese economic situation in europe would also like to see beijing support a western stance on iran's alleged nuclear ambitions by joining the european embargo on oil imports from the islamic state political analyst christophe hostile leaves vocal work change beijing stance on iran. i would chancellor on a triple or begging to if she wants money for europe she once you know a support from beijing for the new un resolution which beijing is not going to give and she also wants beijing to cut off its own oil supply which beijing is widely not going to do and of course beijing has also to take into consideration that india its competition in the region is standing straight with iran and buying ever more rain in oil so i don't think she has any chance of you know talking china

out of buying uranium oil or that we're not happen again i would say she will not put any much focus on it she will she will say that she will look to the ceiling and then she was smile and say let's talk business now her main focus in this trip is german economy and she's wise to do that she will even not you know lobby very much for chinese investment into europe because she knows in our heart of hearts that this is truly a bad investment. as the u.s. presidential campaign holds up we'll look at who the republicans may end up choosing to challenge barack obama here's a quick look at what's crosstalk debate next hour. for mitt romney to have a debate with the president on the health care reform bill it's going to be laughable because the bill that the president signed into law was based almost entirely on the bill that mitt romney signed into law in massachusetts. you're right he's not even going to be able to make that argument and the question earlier

is is a conservative enough i mean how could anyone call him a conservative when he himself has called himself a moderate the real deal here is the republican party is trying to get the conservative grassroots to support the guy who lost to the guy who lost to obama and so there's this endless cycle of you know it's your turn that's being shoved down the grassroots throat he's been running for five years he already has organization set up in all the states plus the backing of goldman sachs and the republican establishment and the guy still can't break fifty percent i don't think he would do well in the general. it's a question of identity versus integration is the group in belgium is on the fourth of views which local people say that extreme which other the muslims feel threatened by what used to be reports. bearded wearing

a comma floss jacket and constantly surrounded by men. it's hard not to notice he heads the islamic fundamentalist group sure you're for belgium in september the group opened the country's first shari'a court in outwork to mediate domestic disputes among muslims. believe. the handing things if you want to accept it except if you don't that's your problem. there is a judgment if you if you're a muslim you will go to. if you are this will go to hell. any further controversy may have ended there if that was all there is to it but video such as these. have caused outrage. the freedom of speech and one inside the hatred incitement to violence starts we have. leadership on here for belgium he.
