7:04 am
ban mic schools but we're going to preach religion better at schools no matter how subtle the differences may be at the moment egypt's at a key cross rate in meting it's each other and the results of what happens right now could be felt for generations third party kyra. still to come in the program with me kevin how in the pain in spain protesters gather in faster loaders the european central bank which has been driving the deeply unpopular story to general cross the e.u. meets in the city got the latest on that story developing self and they also were appalling on how big the extraction of natural gas from shall rock caused outrage in britain now with fears about its destructive impact on the environment.

a visit coming at an extremely delicate time in relations between the two countries beijing wants an apology from washington after accusing it of meddling in its internal affairs of the u.s. embassy harbored a chinese dissident activist china's also irritated over a very good military buildup in the asia pacific region investment manager francis learn told us washington that the for paging is you think relatively to. the u.s. strategy is we do try to encircle china from order away from japan to philippines where now india is three quarters away the u.s. is calling china an expression leader in south china sea there you have a military exercise somewhere of philippines. so that these two smaller countries can dare to challenge china's so here strategy is to be able to give enough backing to against the neighboring countries to keep china occupied so
7:08 am
a dead child there would not have the type to deal with the geopolitics of things. comments here from author jordan a speedy said of his own institute in china to study social economic developments that he says the world is yet to see a major standoff between washington and beijing is a quick taste of a longer interview we've got with him which you can see in full in fact next hour. building the military but still you know the u.s. has a military that equal all the other militaries of the world put together and i've heard of we've heard a lot of talk about multi polar world but last century it was the soviet union in the us this is to be very simple minded about this is the u.s. and china that bipolar world is going to be dominated by the bipolar connection of china and the u.s. and people will make countries will make decisions in calibrate their their actions
7:09 am
against what they perceive will be the response of the u.s. and or china. moscow is warning it could make a preemptive strike against nato zante missile defense shield plan for europe if the u.s. persists in going ahead ignoring the kremlin's opposition russia's military chief said de telling concerns about the planet an international conference here in moscow with representatives from over fifty nations attending his initial no it joins us live with more about this meeting that was saying today hi there nice and what kind of message is russia hoping to deliver at this international gathering that. the missile defense has been in a deadlock for some time now that's certainly no secret between the u.s. russia and nato and once again russian officials today reiterated the sentiment that bad deadlock needs to end or else russia is going to take responsive action we heard the phrase preemptive strike this is pretty harsh rhetoric we're hearing from
7:10 am
russia they're very serious about their their concerns their national security concerns being taken into consideration by nato and the u.s. we also heard from officials that if some kind of compromise isn't made that they're warning of in fact another arms race so very strong words coming from russia what they're hoping to come out of this two day summit is first of all to prove that these so-called rogue states like iran and south korea which the u.s. and nato say this missile defense system which is well underway in eastern europe in poland romania even as far as turkey that russia has research and is giving basically officials details on why they believe those two countries certainly don't have the missile capabilities to reach europe so a lot of questions surrounding the goals behind this defense system so close to russia's border and also showing a computer model of why exactly this missile system poses a threat to russia's national security in detail this is something moscow has been
7:11 am
trying to convince the two of us through dialogue for years now washington continues to stress that the system is not. against russia like i said that it's against iran and north korea but russell just isn't convinced that this summit another attempt to try to sway washington to prove how important this is not russia to the end it's going to push forward and try to protect its national security with that said no major breakthroughs are expected at this two day summit it is an election year let's not forget that hot mike that we heard in south korea where obama told medvedev hang in there i'll be ready to compromise after the election of course but you know like here in a lot of countries across the globe in twenty child and officials certainly understand also there was an invitation for nato secretary general rasmussen to attend the summit he did decline all those spokes person said that no way represents his position and openness and readiness for dialogue on the issue but
7:12 am
the fact that he is not here is not the best sign in terms of nato russia relations ahead of a major summit coming up in chicago at the end of the month so what we're going to hear most likely as this two day summit wraps up is baby steps we're ready for dialogue but how far both sides are willing to compromise is still very unclear that's the big question here saying this is the story's been rumbling on for such a long time in the news again today with this meeting thanks for bringing us up to date the nyssa now in central moscow now just let you know and take a look at our web site will be in store for you there today our great place for all the latest stories comment analysis on top pictures of the day these stories get a lot of clicks right now one of the home million tons of dead brain from last year's tsunami in japan is said to reach the u.s. pacific coast by oktober the scope of what is impact by being our online story it's made its way across the ocean but the people not really thinking about where it went well this is where it's heading it's online from us also one of the most

because report on this channel. fracking the process of extracting natural gas from rock on land has been given the go ahead in the u.k. however the technique is causing shock waves of most residents near drilling sites who claim they haven't been informed of the potentially disastrous environmental impact studies over bennett reports. it triggers earthquakes and could poison water supplies but fracking got the green light in the u.k. a government study says the controversial gas extraction technique fees despite causing two tremors in the popular coastal resort of blackpool last year environmentalist's fear is a smokescreen hiding the far more dangerous side effect of large scale deadly pollution what it fails to address is the fact that earthquakes and seismicity you know these issues are actually only a very small fraction of the other associated problems with fracking so the report doesn't really do justice to any other aspect totally says the department of energy climate change to regulating this hydraulic fracturing or fracking extracts methane

gas from underground millions of gallons of water and chemicals including hydrochloric acid pumped into a three kilometer deep well that high pressure when the rock cracks gas escapes but so too can deadly toxins and radiation previously locked in the ground this site just sixty kilometers south of london is one of many the government intends to drill and the people who live here have had no say permission is already been given for fracking to start and that's the whole that will be pumped with water one thousand meters it's not shallower than most of the fracking sites which means the risks of tremors a much higher but so too the chances of toxic chemicals seeping into the water supply and that's the worry for residents who live nearby the fact that fracking could take place four miles from my home makes me feel very angry very disillusioned very disappointed in our legislators things absolutely exasperated
