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 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 respect the deployment of their military installations to europe. new american military bases may soon be set up in kazakhstan go to stun turkmenistan and tajikistan.

about i see a boy once russia has been encircled by a military base there is a new geopolitical 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 opposed. 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 farias countries. between two thousand and five and two thousand and nine the u.s. has spent fifteen billion dollars and the price tag 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 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 war planes 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 we are not overjoyed at the prospect of these weapons being deployed a few hundred metres from our homes. 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 over from warsaw a long time ago she knows only too well what the villages think about the military installation. that means the most noise about it is most of the people even here are farmers. and they of course there were very war it's an absolute hearing news of me sal deployment for the time being though the base and we. brits 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 gotten them and today we

start with a history lesson. elisabetta demands 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 german troops once use the territory just outside of school. later polish pilots served here but them 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. estonian sculptor to come and transforms the legacy of past wars into works of art

on the shores of the gulf of finland he's 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 mine it's you know you can make sculptures out of them you can even make a racecar. coming

knows 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. in. 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 and the 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. control the entire outer space over a european russia. space control center has given instructions to tracking artificial earth satellites and with you. all monitored operational information is fed to the delta. space control center. i'm not first so i got

a quiet 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 band around the north pole. up through 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 and 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 with 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.

tonneau blank the western backed one dropped resolution on syria on with moscow slamming the text for an unbalanced approach and denial of dialogue between the government and opposition. and other stories that shape this week riots returned to egypt saying dear abby authorities failure to prevent a deadly soccer brawl spills over into four days of violent clashes that have already seen one thousand people killed. and in bitter subzero temperatures hundreds of thousands joined record breaking rallies both pro and anti-government ahead of next month's presidential elections.

thanks for being with us the six o'clock here in moscow and your headlines the u.n. security council has failed to find common ground on the crisis in syria with russia and china voting against the draft resolution that they say exclusively blames the syrian government for violence both moscow and beijing say the text could cause even more bloodshed because the take sides in the syrian conflict and favors armed opposition groups. has been following the diplomatic battle at the heart of the u.n. . but a matter of just five minutes after the meeting began russia and china both wielded their veto powers not supporting this draft resolution that was written up by the arab league and european countries while the draft resolution was supported by thirteen members of the security council russia was asking for some amendments according to russian foreign minister sergei lavrov those amendments were not

excessive and mr r. lover of said that russia was urging the west to accommodate moscow's concerns to reach a compromise on this draft resolution china during the meeting that supported russia's amendments and said for the council to approach a vote knowing that there was a divide it did not help maintain the unity or the authority of the security council if russian foreign minister sergei lavrov said that moscow does not support using the security council as a tool to intervene on a sovereign country that is experiencing an internal conflict he believes that could create chaos in international affairs so as we see there was two vetoes on this resolution it did not go through and it's because russia believes that as the draft resolution was presented it had

a lot of imbalances in it when it comes to the current circumstance in syria russian envoy to the united nations vitaly churkin did go into detail about those imbalances. some influential members of the international community including those sitting around this table have from the very beginning of the syrian crisis been undermining opportunities for political settlement by calling for regime change stirring up the opposition against the authorities and not hesitating to encourage methods of struggle the draft resolution does not adequately reflect the real situation in syria and unbalanced signals to the syrian sides it doesn't take into account proposals that as well as withdrawing syrian forces from the cities there should be an end to attacks by armed groups and state institutions. that are on the precious foreign minister is scheduled to visit damascus on tuesday to meet with syrian president bashar al assad this is a move. to to hopefully reach some type of peaceful approach or solution to

the conflict still waging in syria the arab league has also addressed the media at the security council at the stakeout saying that they are extremely disappointed. over today's outcome but they will continue trying to work with the security council with the united nations to try to reach some type of consensus now u.s. president barack obama did also issue a statement of his own before the meeting began dating that you know the united states is on the side of the syrian people that are posing the syrian president and his government and he said quote the assad regime at the time has come for the reason assad regime. change clearly the united states is pushing for regime change this is a sticking point this is something that russia does not support so we'll see what takes place in the days and weeks to come but as of now the draft text proposed by

the europeans by the arab league vetoed by russia and china. from these stop nato group says that although russia and china found not to allow u.n. sanction for an intervention in syria there's a chance the country may still be bombed from outside but i fear as we may be see a replication of what happened in one thousand nine hundred ninety when the united states and its nato allies launched a seventy eight day bombing campaign against yugoslavia having failed to enlist chinese and russian support for u.n. resolution against in a few of those laws i'm hoping of course that the resolute stand taken the principled stand taking the taken by russia and china against a resolution that we have to remember was sponsored by morocco and co-sponsored by a very interesting group of people they include the middle quality of the world the united states britain france and germany along with portugal to include all six members of the draw corporation council that is the monarchies and camera zoomed in the persian gulf this is not a representative group of nations of course in the united nations or the world

series select one is largely the same for the first a comparable resolution one thousand seven hundred three against libya last year you know are both rising of the sort of burned in syria could have a good if it was in libya earlier cause of the slaughter of thirteen years ago with the understanding by those engaging in the armed uprising that they would be supported by forces outside the country more than two hundred people were reportedly killed by security forces in the syrian city of homes just ahead of the vote at the u.n. security council but that figure is being contested with some opposition groups putting it at around fifty editor of the syria tribune dr ali mohamed says information from the opposition should be taken at face value. there were not to be leaving the syrian army waited ten months and then just the night before the u.n. security council meeting it decided it will start bombarding homes this too which in homs has been difficult for the syrian. regime supporters for such

a long time and i don't see why they get the army would choose such critical timing to start it's a vicious crackdown has described it it is they are only cleans and the just two weeks ago we had the arab league observers who could gun there and investigate it but unfortunately they were pulled out for a little good reason and therefore there are only claims from this a as it's claims from their side we cannot read into what's going on but i don't think that the army wants really it's it's not like the syrian army this is number one and claims like that happened before in. in just a short war in there and the opposition was not able to pull any of these claims over the best in months. and different police have again fired rubber bullets and tear gas to drive a crowd of rocks thrown protesters away from the interior ministry building in cairo clashes between security forces and demonstrators in egypt have been raging

for four days now and left a dozen people dead and thousands injured activists have been venting their anger over the military rulers of legend failure to prevent a deadly outbreak of violence at a football match on wednesday our correspondent maria financial has more from cairo . things have been extremely devastating and terribly killed two communities within the last few days and also very tragic the food so huge a massacre only one state when seventy four people died in a stump speech at one of the city's football stadiums has become by itself the deadliest incident since mubarak ousted last february but it's also trying to get a new wave of clashes between the police the army and demonstrators that have actually become something common seen here in the capital cairo and everywhere and slowly to egypt the fact these people have been very weak to use fully employed saeed incident to use new forces especially being to remain in street doing nothing

of the allowing this to happen allowing these deaths over and we should see and actually over instigating these trying to say no to to preserve the situation of instability in the country in order to fit into existing following some power. through terror and rule the generals from the supreme council of the armed forces they took power from mubarak last february and since then demonstrations. have never stole shortly after this happened only one state public school football fans have come to me but it's not the interior minister here in the central part of just months away from here seeking for justice and calling for amy did transitional power from the ministry to civil the situation is until early presidential elections and since then twelve people have been killed in the. all day seven twenty five on the dollar to think that it's a terrible dissolve so i have to say i hope you can see the pictures right now as

you can imagine. while masuda street is a narrow street is one of the streets leading towards the built in old photo of the interior ministry here in hollywood the green many many people they're chanting intimately slogans from time to time police has been the firing tear gas the test isn't even showed so we've been able to speak to several people there let's listen to what they have to say about what was going on when it's going to stop people not just protesting in addition to teaching. because the students are unbelievably effective keep in mind that there will be such a thing each day to turn everything today at china that. that might occur and they don't schieffer. that the chinese the seventy seven year old china it's over here it's more than enough what they're doing to the criticism that they're doing to the country. must be the most you can see

a situation is very volatile here in cairo and actually in several of the cities throughout egypt but we can also you can talk now about several months as well the following points to the incident figure is that the people from the administration told the students have been detained and they're in custody right now is is that while the investigation is to go in also it may take protesters to months just say simply this if you call some of the armed forces advisory has also called for early presidential elections in the country. omar ashore from the institute of arab and islamic studies at the university of exeter says egyptians are tired of waiting for accountable leadership. supreme council of the armed forces has mismanaged the transitional process to a large degree the expectations on the egyptian street it will rise in the fall

that they will be transferred all power from italy to civilian elected civilian in six months and therefore once you have elected civilian rule the investments will come to life the economic life will be back to normal there would be a total restructuring of the security services that acted in a very aggressive in. all these expectations through the economy of a. better economy the dignity the freedom the bread. that evolution would not really accomplished by a year after that of lucian that's why there is a protest last friday and on the anniversary of that it was. a president now i deduct the president now so that they can hold him accountable if you feel to be stored back the egyptian economy and if you fear to reform the security services and so have for you this hour an r t a change of tune once most vocal critic of russia's prime minister now tells a different tale. will do very few people who see as many horrible things about me

as i did once blamed bloody metaphors him for the death of his son and next on them if they think oh but now the former athens be officers father has changed his mind and all first his own theory of what happened. plus the latest incident for america's anti-corporate protesters face a heavy handed police response when asked how the occupy movement will cope with the objection from the park they've occupied since early october. saturday was a day for demonstrations in russia over two hundred thousand people gathered across the country to voice their political views head up next month's presidential election two of the largest rallies took place in the capital but supporters. and opponents of the current leader step braving the bitter cold to have their say it was the third and biggest opposition gathering after the parliamentary vote two months ago which protesters claimed was rigged now their main demand is for

a fair presidential vote in march martin mccauley who is an expert on russia university of london believes the opposition lacks a viable leader at the moment. very large rallies promised for the. week after the presidential election and presumably that would be larger than this one the result of the election of course we are very very important because what these demonstrators want is if you like a clean election fraud and so on. it is up to the authorities to ensure that there would be cameras and so on if you look at the protest you have the beleaguered voters who claims they don't want to work with any politician. and then use the citizens of various other groups and so on and they are like minded people and so on the opposition will not come together maybe something russian maybe something russian. they don't want because you don't want to. arrive at a single candidate the only way they're going to defeat. on the fourth of march is

to a single candidate who is accepted by the whole opposition and there's no likelihood of this russian journalist. says social policies are key and could undermine any of the oppositional candidates campaign. i think that the dark horse was too late in coming so we are seeing more or less usual suspects and even even if we take seriously proper up here i mean he's a he's a smart man and he's a rich man but. he's think he falls. in the category that he's not loved in russia be a rich and successful man we are not in america we are in russia and this basically a social democratic country with putin has in store he's social policy that would give support to so many people that's why so many people who together to support him i think that what is happening today is that there are so many people calling

for fair elections my hope is that they will get the fair elections but i think that it may be disappointed again because in cairo actions there is a fair chance that we can move. there's more about moscow's rival rallies online thousands gathered for the day of protests in r.t.e. photographer caught the highlights on camera check out the pictures on our facebook profile and there's more analysis on this and other top stories on our web site called.
