in the russian capital you're watching r t m really joshie welcome to the program now for a place dubbed the largest spy center in the world a man with hail in britain certainly carries an unassuming name but for almost three decades now the complex run jointly by the u.k. and the u.s. has been targeted and even siege by protesters in the latest demonstration just a couple of days ago activists again demanded american forces leave to crying what they see as an on station goal and illogical hunger for security artie's laura smith reports. it's a little piece of america in the middle of the yorkshire dales it might look like some kind of theme park but it's actually a spy base and part of the early warning system for the ever expanding u.s. missile defense shield is a part of this huge kind of organism gripping the world and it sure for suzy from

places like network which is connected together is the american military there's been a base in menwith hill since the nineteen sixty's growing all the time until the site now comprises thirty three of those goals like structures inside each one a satellite dish which collects information from us that's light but also interesting it's the communications of all the countries that information is then fed back to the us i've used in what they call intelligence led warfare which includes special operations and drone attacks. to keep up with new forms of warfare billions of dollars have been invested in man with hell over the last ten years it's enabled the base to remain a vital component to the global u.s. surveillance network men with watch it talk to steve schofield reckons the inner workings of around a hundred countries are closely monitored here something he dubs an unprecedented

level of intervention the u.k. is providing a facility here it's involved in drone attacks that we know from independent assessment by killing and injuring spouses of civilians these are acts of war and normally when real backs of war you know parliament should normally inform people that were involved in those who were not being entirely in the dark about this isn't news to locals they've been coming up here to protest weekly for decades but now their cause has drawn the attention of a global movement occupy helen alexander is from occupy leeds and sees a common cause in men with hell because. its implications on our on our individual civil liberties the fact that they can listen to all of our phone calls they can and intercept our emails you know this whistleblower evidence this testimony is back up the claims that what goes on there is not only political espionage but commercial espionage it's a far cry from the land of the free rhetorics the u.s.

is famous for and critics see menwith hill as a symbol of that hypocrisy and of europe kowtow into u.s. power what we're seeing is americans developing a new form of imperialism this isn't about protection of democracy if you look at the pattern of this investment by the united states over the past twenty years it's about ensuring that we have access to oil and other vital not the resources in africa and the persian gulf and we've got to challenge that we really have to start challenging that force to it because the next stage is probably the attack on iran . with the us is expansion plans for the ballistic missile defense shield up to twenty twenty five and with menwith hill already part of the early warning system this poking of america's nose into other people's backyards is still king fears it could be the trigger to a new arms race smith r.t. men with hill yorkshire. and so coming out in the program intellectual property

versus civil liberties. and international trade agreement that triggered mass protests is dealt a heavy blow in the european parliament we speak today and we've hear that sound of the alarm over its threat to privacy. in russia's frozen north if you need to get around it's a difficult job but it is an emergency you need to fly there join us to look at the efforts of russia's far north flying medics just a few minutes of nazi. india's join the exclusive club of nations armed with intercontinental ballistic missiles after successfully test firing its own cold agni five translated from hindi as fire the rocket can carry a nuclear payload as far as europe and china well for more on a how this launch my the back the balance of power in the region let's talk to dr of the school of international affairs thanks very much for being with us here on

the program sir now first off developing an intercontinental ballistic missile is no doubt a serious commitment both cost wise and politically so does india really feel so threatened at the moment. it's you know like he's not going to. barge in dover has issues to have that in mind the possibility of any sort of scenarios in your faces in the you know to be on i see here nearly five thousand. and i didn't need. to go to jail because the terms. of. the horrors we hear we. are i don't think the relations between the two countries are that bad at the moment that we need to seek about each threat to the other but certainly the. foreign policy establishment think in terms of

capabilities not intentions here in china and we are going to really be small the relationship especially in the economic sphere when there are tensions and there are lingering mistrust that go back to fifty years and saw i think it's a matter of capabilities that we're talking about an evening of the capabilities certainly hope so our off balance of power in egypt and there's also this new little risk going on simultaneously the markets and markets on continues to have its own nuclear program and it's. a resistant so i think in your field so you does my neighborhood it can pick anybodies intention for ghana teach and therefore it needs to help itself to all these kinds of tests well let's not talk about china's reactionary but more as you mentioned earlier both india and china are neighbors and they are enjoying ties etc but you know how will this launch or my designs change the situation and relationship between the two countries because there is

a view that beijing has long considered india a minor player in the asian power so what this line of this likely to change. i think these two little i mean the do appear to love the kind of thing clearly china leads in most military hardware but i'm interests there of india except perhaps in here graph tell us where the indians are smaller going to in the in the navy but in other ways. in rough overall bums the balance of power is very much lauded in favor of china. and part of it has to china's growth as an economy which is much faster than in years but it is speaking so as a percent of the g.d.p. unit india spends as much as china does our g.d.p. so it is you know four times as much smaller showing us so we will be smaller and i think the chinese need us to be active quite interestingly to the to the i say me and launch they have said that you should not be under a delusion that it is able to match and it is actually no match for china in all

but i'm taken together but you know what he did and he doesn't dickie quality but he did and so you just need you know a credible minimum bittered which india does have in the form of you know the small but robust nuclear program and our delivery system you know some experts say the lines may actually provoke a new regional arms race as china india strive to how they'll it in your opinion is this concern. other i mean it's certainly a concern and if you think a word of mark simone strategic rivalries in the word are now. it only asia and asia pacific and if there is a leader for a confidence building i mean what the indian general how hard you know confidence building measures and talks about their bodies we would and i would and region and how they would cooperate and co-exist but i think you know we also need to. we need to look at the bloody global factors here you know extends considers itself a recipient power in the asia pacific and that clear to our pensions and all

monies insofar as three into the india china relationship in a different light the chinese think that india is new used against them and india wants to assert itself as somewhat independent what does china and the united states but in china is growing and it's growing at a much faster because many years are in your letter to me and they are you know much more calibrated abroad and just using yourself as a swing student in china in the u.s. and i think you know russia certainly should help there because they have a very strong strategic case would be china and india and i and we are doing that you know russia can with confidence into a trilateral mechanism but used to be a russia india china mechanism which has been discontinued and i think you know that's not ideal forum for some of these to be so moved you from our quarterly overcome all right mr eritrean kalya thanks very much and if important situation in context for us here professor and vice dean of the international affairs.

the un chief has admitted serious scene and ask elation of sporadic outbreaks of violence recently despite a week old cease fire in a briefing a letter to the security council ban ki-moon also said the u.n. monitoring mission working to stabilize the truce should be expanded to around three hundred members as follows reports of two was caught in crossfire in a suburb of the capital damascus something the observers haven't confirmed animate fresh cease fire violations more and more civilians are searching for a safe place both inside and outside here is borders are to the town avoid of faldo's displaced by the war and left battling for life's essential. whether it's battle for freedom or against terrorism for those caught in between it's produced only losses tens of thousands of syrians uprooted from their homes left at the mercy of strangers for their basic needs and so far it seems those who feed them also define their story we're a few g.'s in the tents here in turkey we're here to protest against this because

the conflicts on the maskers didn't end the massacre in syria only continue. while the turkish syrian border is seen as the epicenter of serious refugee crisis only a minority of syrians sought shelter across the border most internally displaced and most let through the siege here of another big over the past three months its population of sixty thousand has almost doubled. refugees are biggest problem we have forty five thousand people from the north we try to provide every one of the problems but it's hard this compound was billed as a luxury resort it now houses more than one hundred families from homs which is only an hour drive away this mother from baba amr sas her house and entire livelihood is now in ruins and what kind of freedom is that i have for kids who are living off other people's charity who can't get proper health care this fight for

freedom left me with nothing. what was once a pool is now living quarters for three families once a week each family receives the ration paid for by local charities the man who invested everything in this resort says the refugees will stay here as long as they need them everyone has sins in my life i've also done things i'm not proud of and it's my way to get ours forgiveness. here and there is no one in massachusetts or those who flocked to turkey they say when running for your life the destination for refuge is not a political statement the syrian authorities have promised that all the refugees regardless of where they're fighting to will be able to return to their homes and will be provided with some sort of compensation to help them rebuild their lives but given be scale of destruction in the north it's still unclear whether that's going to take months or years maybe they played our thi syria.

here in the program now what exactly worries you about the active agreement. well in terms of what i was trying to achieve i'm quite happy with i think it's important you know it does protect us a delightful property but i don't number of unintended side consequences one was it would have put a duty on internet service providers to think that they act as the european police force of the internet and i don't think that's right i think that's part of formal judicial authorities secondly i didn't like the idea that i could possibly have criminalized young people who were quite innocently dying or doing films and music and so on in the privacy of their own homes. i had to say the should only be for commercial purposes but commercial purposes are very weakly defined and i suppose knowing my thoughts. really was that this was a political wattle treaties a treaty with a limited number of countries will be thirty seven very significant countries but it excludes the chinese the indians and russia itself and i think we should have

gone for a multilateral settlement was going to have quite a few concerns about debts but your accommodation my kill act however the plans for replacement have already been leaked do you think your concerns will be taken into account. i hope so and i think one of the things that we need to do any future treaty is to separate the two very different kinds of goods act to try to deal with counterfeit goods so these are real physical goods in the same treaty as it dealt with internet goods soda virtual goods and i don't think the two do met at the same treatment counterfeit by generally means that someone has been caught on they have been presented with a good as if it was original and they've bought the good thinking it's there is no good that's very different from somebody demoting a chain on the internet where they know that the well the first of the all getting the original and they know where the product is coming from so it's a they have different concepts and should be treated differently secondly i think we also need

a situation where we get we move towards world agreement in terms of. to protect. intellectual property because it just isn't to say people often say well if you're critical going into the record store and stealing a cd going on to the internet and stealing a tree and i don't believe you would say i think they are very different concepts i think we have to try and preserve any future changes the right of access on intimate with compensation with benefits for all the rights holders now despite its flaws most european countries signed up to act but and they did it quite hastily in fact and so why such a such an apparent haste and secrecy. well it's a very good question as the other concern that people have about i know that it was negotiated through a five six year period behind closed doors the rights holder seemed to be involved

in the discussion but the civil society did not seem to be part of the discussion and most of the members partly didn't really understand what they were signing up for i mean the british house of commons i don't one morning report an article which said that i could not read a debate on the floor of the house of course. as an aside actually demonstrates the importance of the european parliament and the european decision making process because the european powers act they would probably know below and we wouldn't be having this discussion. you know despite all the actors fault and the concerns you just mentioned earlier the protection of intellectual property properties of course a critical issue for europe now don't you think is that you know the security that they have to bring actually outweighs its shortcomings. no i mean i. i want to be clear i do think europe has a duty to protect its intellectual property europe is not rich in raw materials we cannot compete on the global scale on the basis of what we do so we compete on the

basis of our innovation or invention and we have to protect that innovation invention on the global market in the global marketplace but acted didn't in my opinion achieve the officially it was described as a coalition of the willing so only involve countries that already have very high levels of intellectual protection and indeed a great boost to get both of pussy every member state is like up for it is that it doesn't use of domestic law well if it doesn't use of the national mall what benefit does it bring of course the argument would be it brings international cooperation but that international corporation i think to be done on a regulated basis i could be done in a multilateral basis it cannot be done behind closed doors by a select group of countries myself so it could group of countries david martin thanks very much indeed for reviews here david martin member of european parliament and operator of the and economy trade agreement or after. care.

now activists will be gathering near a moscow court today in support of a feminist punk bands whose members were arrested on hooliganism charges back in february the court will consider whether to extend their custody which expires in less than a week the group rushed to the altar of russia's crisis eager to see rule moscow at reforms what prosecutors claim was a less from a saw on the five women who took part three were arrested and charged and now face up to seven years in jail the performance has drawn a huge public response a wave of criticism from russia's orthodox church. watching r t let's not take a look at some other stories from around the world and a series of bomb attacks across iraq killed at least twenty people injured dozens of others officials say extremists launched an attack in the capital as well as in the country's north a car bomb and two roadside explosions which went off in baghdad targeted mainly shiite neighborhoods. danse president has threatened to oust the government of south sudan saying people should be liberated from it this comes amid heavy border

clashes after the south seas hedley oilfield claiming it was its territory the new government has been ruling south sudan since last july when the country gained independence. well it's time now to explore one of russia's most remote regions and artie's close ups here is where we had to an area so hard to get to medical help has taken to the skies. but we are in russia's arctic far northward residents rely on a team of helicopter medics to provide sometimes life saving care hours from the nearest village or hospital for years let a call problems were treated in local plants but now help is a hand artist on board reports on what's become an emergency lifeline for any villagers. flying north with me in this old soviet work or so

the helicopter is talked of not a mere brodsky and his team from the region's medical aviation service we head across ever more barren tundra higher and higher into russia's arctic far north into eventually we see our long game spot for the ride that this tiny village after crossing hundreds of kilometers of snow we will do this as a boy here suffering and the doctors are going to see what they can do. and start a small building not warm but two babies and that parents are waiting for us the doctors instruct them but can't make a diagnosis and decide to bring them to a regional hospital for betsy can't spend money on a doesn't like taking her baby away from home but she's been before and agrees to go. that's the usual practice with those who leave and the kid mothers with their newborns in hospital for a month. on the way back another stop to check on the health of some native minutes

reindeer hunters out in the tundra it can take many hours to reach the nearest village so our medical problems simply fixed here in the tent. they used to be but now we can go to civilized places so we call for emergency help. back at hospital other patients helped by the air on dillon's are being treated the service costs fourteen million dollars a year to run and there's been controversy with some claiming that locals exaggerate or make up health problems and use the helicopters as a free taxi service because asians vladimir firmly dismisses your brother it's not true in all the years i've worked here they have been very few full schools usually the calls are perfectly justified sometimes we reproach locals for waiting too long before calling us he's been working as a doctor now for forty three years but vladimir is confident that even after he retires his helicopter doctors will remain a lifeline to the peoples of the russian far north. shore bottom party.

and we're crossing to the world of business where katy is waiting for us when a fresh business update maybe sell what's happening in the russian markets and against lulu they've been gaining all day today that runs in the middle of the trading session and it's looking good because i'm healthy green hours are great yes i'm a my sex let's have a look at those sneakers let's get me out yes. nearly a one percent we got them i said i was nervous that's there it is saying those days let's get over to the studs and see who's benefiting at this hour the financials are losing at the gaze we got back there in doing some things today over absurd just from around half a percent in positive territory so down zero percent this hour let's see how the ruble is getting on. we'll take a look at the car is he right and it still. is losing against the

euro dollar and the u.s. dollar that we look at the euro dollar we can see is one of thirty one forty one for this this who knows the sentiment coming out of the euro region at this hour while that's one of the prices they are indeed gaining and that somewhat explain why the russian markets are doing rather well today as you can see have been like over one hundred three dollars per barrel of brant nearly one hundred nineteen dollars a barrel as i say lots of news coming out of europe we just heard the results of the spanish auction and it seems investors have an appetite so restraint sold the role of the well is a long term deal that i've been selling ten year was with check out the footsie on the tax if we may and see that they are indeed still gaining today was still a way to get the french figures as well they too will be selling a dad that they've gone eleven the billion a year is up for grabs today because we got the election on sunday that all of the
