one thirty am in moscow these are your r.t. headlights russia and china blocked the western backed u.n. draft resolution on syria with moscow slamming the text for an unbalanced approach and denial of dialogue between the government now position. other stories that shape the week why its return to egypt is anger at authorities failure to prevent a deadly soccer brawl spills into four days of violent clashes that have already seen a dozen killed. and in russia's bitter subzero cold hundreds of thousands joining

a record breaking rallies growth both pro and anti-government at next month's presidential vote up next a special report on the reset in u.s. russia relations and how it's being affected by america's missile defense system for europe stay with us. the most vital national security interests of the united states would be most effectively realized not through hostility to russia a true cooperation with it. i think russia and the united states can we just settlement of the establishment of a global missile defense system. this plan 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. bronx decided to deploy a missile defense system protecting europe but they were setting up too close to

russia's borders and moscow didn't view it as a friendly gesture. we want to defend the whole europe not just some european countries with one or european allies and friends to join in on missile defense strategy. through g.d.p. in the event of a situation with a european missile defense system becoming unfavorable to russia we reserve the right to take no further steps in the nuclear disarmament area. the kremlin has repeatedly demanded that nato guarantees that the european missile defense shield would pose no threat to russia's strategic interests sofa the west has refused to cooperate with must go on the issue.

intercontinental ballistic missiles are transported through snowbound russian forests under the cover of darkness. shrouded in secrecy the people in need to perform training drills and test the hardware on the roof. suddenly the convoy comes to a halt. street. crossing it's quite a challenge for the drivers of motor vehicles weighing. as specially considering. heads. of heavy launches safely reach the opposite bank with the most hazardous huddle 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. we need such missiles to defend russia. we would be crushed if we didn't have them. that's all there is to it. 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 withdraw 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 obvious that this presupposes deployment of its components in poland in romania or a station in turkey obviously this will also until the is their mission of the base in spain for american ships equipped with the system. it is obvious that the missile defense system will be targeted at the russian federation rather than some mythical middle eastern countries possessing virtual missiles. 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 space defense. japan has decided to assist the nato missile defense shield it's taking part in the manufacture of a just interceptor 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 poland are ready to allow nato as missile defense complexes to be placed on their territory. if that were america forward based american military presence which means the deployment of bases in post is so. republics notably.

as a powerful. military base. russia has taken adequate measures to such actions but. finds its activities.

to protect space. station is classified. special. water supply. system. to be controlled by russia's president whose. chief of the armed forces. some time ago russia suggested to the united states that they jointly control space

over the middle east using a similar radio transmitter station. if nato has told us agreed to cooperate they would receive reports of any unauthorized iranian missile launches that washington would see as a threat to america. 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. and is doing is they're using very simple. 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 people. would have to be launched from

fixed locations where the united states and russia join the united states could monitor these these missiles many in the united states like the views of. a maintains that the european missile defense system is ineffective the scientist estimates that it has. to be 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 if you're radical threat to russia. my guess is that the russians. 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 with united states currently built in goods. much cheaper. the professor believes that the purpose of nato is radar and 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 a 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 there's a survive in the face of a real threat they need to have everything necessary closer to. 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 they're more. exposed to sunlight that side points to the. experiment. where they can hide from the harmful effects of radiation.

culture is the same of you i can tell you but i learned more from your words tell the difference in search of national determination and sovereignty this is what many scots say they want how realistic is an independent scotland would it be of. the close a team has been to the hub bar of screeching for the country's mineral wealth starts its way across the ocean. now our team goes to the area. was named after lenin but looking to a different character to represent itself. for local businesses are striving to build the aviation capital of russia. that's where the four by fours are made mention be tested to the limit. welcome to the creature. russia close up on our. alexandra site seven family live

in a military camp that is off limits to the public. keep going keep going on yourself keep going. alexander was in a secret unit many missiles when he's off duty 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 sons. the missile program of course my wife and i often talk about the future. we would like to see a bright future without crises he's overdue we want everybody to live in peace and we want everything to be just fine. the i.c.b.m. zur accompanied by come back to school to the world today we have eyes covered

ground. very difficult conditions for a thrust forward 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. together. a cold and i go to russia. they need to be ready for action at any moment. come on major. unit is ready. fully in. the aggregate for. full haste. the intercontinental ballistic missile known as the s.s. twenty five tomato over twenty one. it's almost two meters in diameter and weighs about forty five tons of. despite its impressive propulsion the russian missile

still hits targets with absolute precision. of joy is making sure that the missile launches always in working order moving military home. this is a highly accurate weapon is 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 can give russian legal guarantees that the missile defense system is not directed against it. feels compelled to take it because the united states has refused to give legal guarantees demonstrating that the. missile defense system in europe is not directed

against russia. nato countries are in two respects the deployment of them military installations to europe. new american military bases may soon be set up and done. to administer tajikistan. about once russia has been encircled by military bases as a new geo political reality will emerge we need to take this reality into account already today but take measures to control potential threats to our security. meanwhile the view that the missile defense shield is too expensive is gaining 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 to pay 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 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. 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 we're 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. elisabetta demand sca a schoolteacher came to reject a book from warsaw a long time ago she knows only too well what the villages think about the military installation. that. most of the people. even here are farmers. and of course there were very war it's an absolute hearing news of me sell deployment for the time being though the base and we are going all cyprus ways. but even first graders in the village of rhetoric of a 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 three steak you see it'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 future 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 and later polish pilots served here. 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 tree in the history books because of it . to come and transform 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 a sink ships the artists 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 can make anything you like from these shaped mine it's. you can make sculptures out of them you can even make. those from news bulletins that missile defense components will soon be installed close to his country. he says. 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 in a nuclear off the mouth have finally reached their destination and abandoned

military. they need to take a breather and warm up near a campfire. knows that this kind of training is useful in any case participants to strengthen their skills and prepares them for any emergency in their regular daily lives. 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 space over

a year. pm russia. the outer space control center has given instructions to track an artificial earth satellite and. all modern racial information is fed to the outer space control center. of the first so get a quiet classification official 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 barrens and white sees the sea of a whole sky and around the north pole. our system is being expanded in response to the expansion of the european missile defense shield. the aim is to match the measures being taken in europe that the

new stations are being commissioned here to respond to nato is activities. that. 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 dialogue with the united states and nato on the missile defense system it is ready for practical cooperation in the sphere.

if to. from los angeles to chicago to birmingham twenty trauma centers have closed since two thousand severe problem is not enough inpatient beds not enough urgency department beds and not enough nurses commandos there to take care of all the people who are the only real health care system that we have in the city of los angeles is the los angeles fire department in fact when i started my

venture is a firefighter i didn't want to ask i started out i want to just do firefighting it's about eighty two percent of what we do the florida problem is medical i've had a rescue couple weeks ago waited four hours for i've waited sometimes three hours but i wouldn't say it's a francis in lynnwood for four hours and fifty minutes standing against a wall with patients and we have a federal law that mandates that if you can't turn no one away who seeks care in an emergency room. we have the most expensive health care system in the world and it's probably valued the least.
