tumble as relations between the world's 2 top economies take a turn for the worse. and heavy metal happened to the small german village of bach and is transformed into the hard rocking capital the world. hello i'm terry martin welcome to the program the united states has formally abandoned a landmark cold war weapons control treaty raising fears of a new global arms race the demise of the intermediate range nuclear forces agreement signals the end of legal limits on the nuclear arsenals of the u.s. and russia but moscow is calling on the u.s.

to stop deploy rockets. 987 the historic agreement between the so. at union and the united states president bush tough and ronald reagan signed the i.n.f. treaty marking a change of course after decades of cold war nuclear tension. the root of the tension was this the soviet s s 20 missile a nuclear warhead that could strike western europe at short notice. that worried those european countries on the other side of the iron curtain were well within the missiles reach of 5 and a half 1000 kilometers. the u.s. response was to deploy its own mid range pershing missiles in europe that was met with protests across the west the demonstrations showed demand for a new direction the result was the i.n.f. treaty it banned all ground launched ballistic missiles with ranges of between 505

and a half 1000 kilometers the soviet union got rid of 1846 intermediate range missiles and the united states about half as many. by $991.00 a total of $2692.00 missiles were destroyed. now president onil trump has officially withdrawn the us from the treaty washington and its nato allies say russia has deployed new intermediate ground missiles that violate the i.n.f. sterns moscow for its part has also pulled out of the treaty charging that washington has breached the i n f by setting up missile defense stations in eastern europe the analysts worry a new cold war style arms race could be looming. for more let's bring in our correspondent in brussels terry scholz terry why have the u.s. united states and russia not succeeded in keeping this treaty alive. well terry

it's not today that the u.s. would say the treaty is dead it would allege that moscow violated the i.n.f. years ago when it started building this missile system and that basically it's not a treaty if only one sided hears to it and it took the us a few years to convince the europeans its nato allies that this is indeed the case and that it's more dangerous to continue to follow an accord that isn't working and now all of nato unanimously supports the united states pulling out of the treaty russia has been given many many many warnings until the very last minute and now while some european leaders don't like that the i.m.f. is dead they understand it now many see the termination of this treaty as a threat to global peace u.n. secretary general antonio good terrorists had this to say yesterday the intermediate report. is a landmark agreement. and the cold war when it expires

tomorrow the world will mean variable break on nuclear war and this will likely i. suppose by i believe the. chair is the u.n. secretary general right to be worried or we facing new threats possibly a new arms race. he is right to be worried and he's certainly not alone with no restraints now on intermediate range nuclear missiles there's no telling what russia will do and the united states is very likely to come up with a new system to match or best of the russian missile that said the united states has said that its aim is to create a new framework to control nuclear weapons development that would also include china which has been far and you know unconstrained by any treaty and really working hard on this so while nobody is really happy to see the treaty go. everyone

acknowledges that this really really wasn't working anymore so this is an old treaty the i.n.f. treaty was signed in the 1980 s. between the u.s. and the former soviet union can it not be argued that this treaty was actually salit especially given the rise of other powers like china and the development of new weapons systems that is something the united states has argued and others as well but i think the question here was not whether it needed to be updated and certainly not whether russia needed to come into compliance with the existing treaty but whether it would be better to kill it as you work on creating this new accord this new hope for accord and i think that's where the europeans were uncomfortable with declaring the i.n.f. defunct but is now that's the deal that's today as secretary general of nato says they simply have to adjust to living in a post i.m.f. world and that's something we'll be hearing from him later on today gerri thank you
