moving military home on the job is 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 metres 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 defense of need two countries. 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 risk rates the deployment of their 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 military bases 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 a. 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 inferiors 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. and two thousand and eleven is another hundred and

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's 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 fighters 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. as 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 out we are not overjoyed at the prospect of these weapons being deployed

a few hundred metres from our homes. on them or 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 rejig of a from warsaw a long time ago she knows only too well what the villages think about the military installation. that is the most noise about it is most of the people even here are farmers. and they of course they were very warm after hearing news of me sell deployment for the time being though the base and we are going our separate ways. but even first graders in the village of rhetoric over are aware of the military base. but the schoolchildren don't fully understand the threat so their teachers bring them up to date in the classroom. good morning you found please

take your seats. that's what i meant 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. is the sh'ma of german troops once use the territory just outside of school. later polish pilots served here but then no doubt you know that an american military base is going to be set up here. that there is going to be in you and three in the history books because of it america. is

tony and sculpt to come and transforms the legacy of past wars into works of art on the shores of the gulf of finland has found hundreds of sea mines made during world war two and the cold war the artist uses them to make remarkable objects this mine for example will become a fireplace. i think it will make a nice fireplace. the sea mines picked up by come in can no longer sink ships the artist so-called military style doesn't mean he's 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 see these going you can make anything you like from these oval shaped minds 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. the amount of effort spent on making such weapons would be much better spent funding the arts. the people involved in this experiment testing their capacity for survival in a nuclear aftermath have finally reached their destination an abandoned military bunker now they need to take a breather and warm up near a camp fire. the

coach knows that this kind of training is useful in any case it helps participants to strengthen their skills and prepares them for any emergency in their regular daily lives. but. it's great that there is a growing number of people who want to learn survival skills even if nothing catastrophic happens they now have a different psychological attitude. this will prepare them for other small emergencies but. those who have gone through survival training school a fully aware of the fact that the location of their exercise is fully protected offices at the radar station including major by jim kosek control the entire outer space over a european russia. space control center has given instructions to tracking artificial earths on allies and we're. all monitored operate tional

information is fed to the outer. space control center. of the first so good acquired classification artificial it says lloyd dismissed fourteen fifty as m of three hundred thirty three. the stuff makes no secret of the fact that the russian radar transmitter sees european air space in great detail. on the station's unique radar tracks even submarine launched missiles in the barren sunlight sees the sea of a hot sky and around the north pole. up to the theme of our system is being expanded in response to the expansion of the european missile defense shield images of the the with the aim is to match the measures being taken in europe that the new stations are being commissioned here to respond to nato as activities. thrown at them.

we will buy new means limited or alter our plans for the deployment of missile defense components in europe. russia has not closed the deal it will continue a dialogue with the united states and nato on the missile defense system it is ready for practical cooperation in the sphere.

you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything. i'm charged with a big issue. with

the un expected to take action on the syrian crisis activists in the country cry massacre as hundreds are allegedly killed by government troops in the flashpoint city of homs. a lot of protests against the police on the military government escalating carra and across egypt several people killed and hundreds injured. with just a month to go before the presidential pull tens of thousands are expected to demonstrate on the streets of the russian capital later on today.

are you watching r t welcome to the program the u.n. security council is to meet later on saturday with a vote do you want to draft resolution on syria the text has been softened that russia's request dropping demands for regime change and fresh sanctions it comes i mean unconfirmed reports from syria of a new crackdown in the city of homs with hundreds allegedly killed and ask us denies any involvement i mean it has more now from new york. by friday morning the russian foreign ministry issued a statement saying that it could not support the revisions of the draft resolution as it was because it's not address address all of moscow's concerns a lot of sentences leave room for interpretation and i think that is the issue that russia has with the text of this resolution it does not want to leave any doors open for regime change in syria because basically russia china and many other

countries have vocalized the fact that the security council should not be used as a tool to impose regime change in any country around the world in this case in particular to syria it should be the security council should be new moving towards coming to a peaceful solution where both parties see in part in the conflict should come together at the table russia has its main concerns in the aftermath of what took place in libya does not want to see repeated circumstances in syria in the meantime there have been reports from opposition groups in syria that roughly two hundred people have been killed in renewed violence in the city of homs according to the syrian observatory for human rights the army is shelling the city now fresh asha's in other cities throughout syria how also been reported clearly this violent conflict is garnering attention from all parts of the world as the on international community continues to find

a way to reach some type of consensus on how to garner and lead to a peaceful solution in syria. that is very important i there reporting from new york and you can keep up with the latest from the u.n. vote on syria and our twitter feed r.t. underscore com. meanwhile in egypt police used tear gas and fired shots at protesters who've been trying to storm the interior ministry building for two days seven people have been confirmed dead as violence grips cairo and several other cities the rest was sparked when more than seventy football fans died after a match clash three days ago testers used the police of their own to prevent the tragedy thousands of demonstrators in cairo are also calling on the ruling military council to relinquish power at least analysts virus's egyptians off furious that many of us to the president mubarak's generals are still in place. the main recipient of criticism now in egypt is the military council because it it really

have on powers and they are demanding the doors bound who will be transferred quickly either to a government or to an elected president and the military council is still very hesitant and i link this to something that happened a couple weeks ago when the military council ordered the security forces to go and shut down democracy agencies both education n.g.o.s and international n.g.o.s based n.g.o.s all of that indicates that the military council is very hasn't been in transferring power to democracy forces they want to cut that deal with a force which most likely will be in the muslim brotherhood there is something very odd about the fact that egypt brought down here in a leader and yet some of its agencies are acting as if the other again if you missed in iraq what is happening right now is that large segments of civil society specifically the youth of egypt who began the overall and that revolt was taken away by other political parties including the muslim brotherhood and the sort of as

those youth are angry at the government because they want the military council to transfer power to them or actually to their representatives and they fear that egypt is moving towards another author with their own regime. but would like to know what you think about the latest events in egypt today we're asking why the country still in turmoil when the last is over the log on to our web site r.t. dot com to take part in our latest poll so i thought almost half of it's because the allies of the ousted leader for some of. the most a quarter say trusts or radicals to maintain rest seventeen percent believe the main reason behind instability is continuing unemployment and the minority suggests every revolution rate is down for those who r.t. dot com to cause to affect. good r.t. also ahead for you this hour the debate over copyright plans up again in two parsi designed to protect intellectual property business. it's a new boat find out why they say it's their basic rights.

plus i don't usually traction by robots with human like qualities on luck in the hearts of men looking for love. exactly a month from now russians will head to the polls to vote for their next president but this saturday in moscow tens of thousands are expected to demonstrate for their elections as well as rally in support of and against the current leadership let's get the latest now marty's peter all of the pieces since the controversial parliamentary election in december we've seen several mass rallies so what's going to be different this time do you think. well what we're going to see on saturday is a march towards a rally the protesters will be coming down the road just behind me on their way to the center of moscow on their way to bill last night square which has been the scene of the protests the demonstrations to take place now tens of thousands are expected however we'll have to see if the weather plays

a. crazy factor in how many people turn out it's around minus twenty degrees celsius here in moscow very very cold. that might affect how many people do turn out now this is a sanctioned rally the. setting up all around me as you can see around nine thousand police will be deployed to try and keep the peace to make sure everybody safe stay safe but authorities have warned the protesters that they must remain within the letter of the law now in terms of what we're going to be seeing today and who we're going to be seeing. the independent presidential candidates he will be he says he will be the demonstration however he said he didn't plan to give a speech now this isn't this protest here this march of protest isn't the the only demonstrations going on across moscow there's also pro-government protests taking place as well as those protesters saying that they they don't want a revolution they don't want to go down the same route to say what happened in

ukraine with the orange revolution that they don't want the chaos that follows they don't return to the the dark days of the early ninety's they want stability so several protests taking place across most of the largest probably where i am right now all quiet here at the moment but where tens of thousands of people expected to march from behind me on their way to pull out my square. into the kremlin vowed to make changes after december's votes what's actually been done since then. well since the print the parliamentary elections on the fourth of december what we've seen is the first play of let me uproot and following through on promises made to to him to put webcams into the polling stations into the they were to be web comes that people will be able to sit at home and really be become an armchair observateur they'll be all polling stations where people can log on at home and see what's going on there now we also established an independent league of electoral

monitors now that's an independent body that will be looking out at the elections and making sure that there's nothing inappropriate going on in the polling booth so in terms of the election race itself one of the for the presidential election on the fourth of march one of the things that we've heard. we've heard it leveled at a lot of the putin is that he gets too much exposure on t.v. on radio now he said that he's willing to cut back on the amount of air time he gets if that's what that gives the the other the other candidates a fair crack of the whip. ok live from moscow that was artie's peter out of it thank you for now. of course we're closely following the pre-election developments in russia online go to r.t. dot com to get all the latest information along with background on the presidential candidates and i says the protests here's what else you can find on our website right now felix forest activists approved anonymous has found out what the f.b.i.

really thinks about the leaks that all the recording online listening to what was said at our site. also on line america's first lady gives everyone an impromptu lesson and keep it on a top chat show and watch the video at r.t. dot com. as humanitarian groups accuse libya's new government of abuse in the country's detention centers it's been revealed that a former senior official may have been the latest victim of torture maybe as france died in custody twenty four hours after being detained by militia group reports claim that photos of sixty two year old omar show evidence of bruising and other wounds rights groups say that torturing executions have become commonplace in

makeshift prisons run by former rebels middle east experts and journalists who can't stand on says precious death is in the spotlight for political reasons because the same militia that allegedly killed him is also keeping colonel gadhafi son custody. i don't think the militia responsible for the the likely torturing to death of mr will be held account but there's a lot of interesting political games going on in libya it seems to me very clearly is that why this focus now on this entire new militia is because there's a tiny militia there's entirely people are holding saif al islam and the west especially the i.c.c. are very fearful about what there's a tiny militia are going to do with stifle islam saif islam doesn't have access to a solicitor as far as i know and he hasn't said anything publicly so i think for this entirely is that saif al islam in their custody is the biggest power play that they've got to use in libya so i think this is the great agenda of what's going on

right now with this latest development but nonetheless mr bush does seem to being tortured to death who is the former ambassador to france the protests have been raging across europe against last week's signing of a new copyright treaty which in force is intellectual property though on the internet opponents say the international act of document enforces censorship is a violation of human rights as artie's tom barton reports the demonstrations are expected over the weekend. the streets may be snowy but here in sweden the heat is being turned up in that most modern of political debates surrounding internet freedom protests have been called here in the capital as part of a wider reaction in europe and the u.s. against laws perceived to infringe on the public's back cess to the internet but i get this time back to the anti counterfeiting trade agreement signed by countries around the world the people behind the law point out that it's important to try and

protect the copyright of the people who make music to make video and distribute it around the world if you say well everything should be free world perhaps no one will write any books or produce music or fields etc. because it's not often those against it say it's a wolf in sheep's clothing a way for governments to control their access to the internet and that it was held in secret but it was designed to be very punitive to those found breaching copyright rules the next generation has grown up with the ability to say anything to anybody else on the planet to the ideas that lit out for themselves to have a freedom of speech never before imagined we don't need to ask anybody's permission to present new ideas. all of a sudden corporations want to take that away because it inconveniences them and

millions of young people are rising up in anger at the formation of pirate parties not just here in sweden but elsewhere in europe is evidence of how high the status of those internet freedom campaign is has risen and there's politics not just in the european parliament but also on the streets internet freedom campaigners are urging people to put their views across before the european parliament votes on this in june to try and stop the legislation before it's made but whether it's done in parliament and in political boardrooms or on the street few expect this to be a calm debate. well coming your way this are accepting old the new way new branches of religion attempt to change the face of the nation something that they should have constraints of. finding true love is never

easy for those who've given up on ever meeting a perfect partner they can always settle for a robot rounds of synthetic sweet heart same with robots could become commonplace sooner than you might think committee to kind of what's. when toys for boys become more than toys originally when i first got her i call her my synthetic girlfriend but it's actually progressed to the point where it's like you know she's my wife thirty seven year old they've kept from detroit says he's been in a relationship with his sex doll for more than ten years and it's in it or in her that he found his better half slippers perhaps not even worth getting out of bed at this point these days dave cats bond with a dog seems like a joke to many but according to british artificial intelligence researcher dr david levy in a few decades romance between humans and robots will be

a common thing i'm completely convinced that within about forty years people will be falling in love with robots and even marrying them and this could be the great grandmother of the future perfect robot mate meet roxie america's first sex robot it talks and senses touch what are you wearing. you know. you. want. artificial intelligence engineer doug hines believes that he created the perfect alternative for those who for different reasons can't or are too busy or too lazy to connect with human beings we created like a bridge that gap between you know going in maybe going out with someone else you know just meeting someone in a bar or what have you and just randomly maybe picking up

a social disease instead of doing when you could have the sex robot that would be your companion not only listen to you talk to you interact with you public opinion about sex robots now is well mostly. giggles. that's what it's for robotic sex when wait a minute isn't that marriage i mean by would not be the saddest christmas if. i recall you convince this. doc hines seems to be very serious about his creation the japanese are even more serious about robots and. every new model there looks more lifelike. with a surge of interest in robots lawyers are starting to look into legal implications of the possibility that these sex robots can break up marriages psychologists in the meantime warn robots could trance.
