history still keeps its secrets but now it's time to reveal the truth to the soviet finals house on the embankment. he. sees available in hotels. this photo east west. nobody. in the city. smiles. up until the strength for us to become a hotel. in

the russian capital good to have you with us here to give you today's news and the week's headlines choosing to enter right voters in sweden swedish voters and the country's parliamentary elections with a far right group controversy over its hardline on immigration. a polish court will decide on the extradition of one of russia's most wanted terrorist suspects who was detained and later will lease in warsaw. russia and norway agree to a landmark deal. puts an end to a forty year disagreement over disputed waters in the energy rich bering sea. and a new plan is announced to pull the ailing u.s. economy out of trouble as new figures reveal how millions of unemployed americans live below the poverty line. next a treaty between russia and the u.s. which would see both countries cut their nuclear arsenals is going to the u.s. senate for approval no one has started it's hoped the arms reduction could set an

example for other countries to follow our he's got a cheeky and talks to former senator gary hart about this issue and russia u.s. relations. it's time for the senate to vote on a new start that's the title of the letter signed by some top former u.s. officials as well as some form of senators including gary hart thank you so much for joining pleasure a few days ago i heard ambassador richard byrd say and that if it had to be enough republican president submitting this treaty the strategic arms reduction treaty for ratification it would have already been ratified i mean no doubt it's been a bumpy ride for the for the trade in the senate but in your opinion how much of it was about the actual treaty and how much about republicans trying to make a point to the democrats well over the course of my active life involved in

arms control issues the pattern has been the republican presidents get much quicker ratification easier ratification of arms control treaties for example president reagan then democratic presidents and one would have hoped after the end of the cold war fifteen or more years ago that partisan approach to arms control would not still prevail but i'm afraid it still does and the questions about the treaty or all coming or virtually all coming from the republican party so i think those of us who signed the letter in the opinion piece or are hoping former secretary of state george shultz and senator hagel are hoping that we can encourage bipartisan support for this treaty and hopefully least some republican senators will support it mr hart american officials have more than once told the

senate that the treaty in no way limits the ability of the united states to deploy missile defenses and you know when it once and where it was the senate foreign relations. meeting quote at that point in their resolution but russia seemed to understand this type between offensive and defensive weapons in the treaty as legally binding are we lost in translation or is it just me well i hope not treaties can never be ironclad in the sense of. absolutely eliminating ambiguity languages language and people from with starting with different language base have different meaning for words but the order of diplomacy in the school would behoove us diplomacy is to overcome those knowing which differences and to have a common understanding of exactly what crucial terms mean and i think of the time with the ratification is completed here in the united states hopefully successfully

there will be a clear understanding on our part and on the part of the russian government as to what those terms mean and that's the best we can hope for mr hardee let me explain this a couple of days ago i went i went up to rose go to motive there the key u.s. negotiator i start after the press conference and i asked her about this whole debate on the connection between offensive and safe weapons there in the tree and she said yes but the treaty acknowledges that time as a fact and not as an obligation so it is supposed to make sense in legal speak but i honestly don't understand because russians do seem to see it as says legally binding something legally binding which americans don't see it such what do you make of it the skill of both teams is such that they would have. had a negotiating record that clarified this issue so you think they do have an understanding is that these outsiders they they have to or or they have to agree to disagree that

is to say you interpret it this way will interpret it that way but that's a very. shaky way to approach these things because it just leads to ambiguity slater i have to believe not having participated that there is a common understanding on this apart from that any real concerns about that treaty among senators. touch upon well clearly the republicans. have. concerns some of them genuine i think others less genuine. there is still i think for many of us not the kind of. understanding. by americans of russia russian's government and where it's headed that we would like. but and i think from the russian side there is still confusion as to why. we have not

developed stronger ties in the last fifteen or twenty years i'm not clear clear on that myself i think we should of but. as time goes on hopefully the questions that are being raised again primarily on the republican side will be satisfied at the end of the day there will be a boat on the treaty people will have to vote for it or against it and those who vote against it are going to have to justify why they voted against it and why it makes us more secure not to have a treaty then if we had the treaty and it's a very hard burden to carry my start even with this treaty in place we're obviously very far from the global zero they call a nuclear free world you know with new forces trying to get hold of nuclear weapons i think they're going to be around for quite some time it's deterring now should we just stop talking about nuclear free world and just tag it as the wishful thinking you know what i think of human beings need goals and and more than just rhetorical

goal schools that are that are achievable. why the in the dunny states and russia are key to this because we have ninety percent of the nuclear weapons on the earth and we cannot go the two of us the russians and the americans cannot go to china or to india or pakistan or any other nuclear power france great britain and say reduce your nuclear arsenals until we've done our job so it all begins with the bilateral negotiations between the united states and russia. if we are serious about dramatic reductions in these nuclear arsenals then. we widen the club and bring in all the nuclear powers and. ideally at least north korea and even iran for that matter and say enough we're all we're going to get rid of all these it does seem like a. kind of ideal dream but it is

a goal to reach for in your opinion who is america afraid of right now well i can't speak for three hundred million. americans. there is still deep concern in this country about terrorism. one thing that a lot of americans don't realize is we're not the only target of terrorism russia is the target of terrorism many countries have terrorist problems pakistan and many others it's a global problem a post cold war global problem where almost any country one way or another can be vulnerable and can be attacked so the international community has to combine to try to solve this problem i think president bush's war on terrorism is not the right approach but it's you know america is not the only one in this that's being

victimized by this so hopefully we can have greater cooperation not only between us and our european allies but us and russia and others who suffer the same threat may so hard russia has so many times in the past offered the united states to teen mom and dad create this joint defense system missile defense system and there are people who are very skeptic about it saying that russia and the u.s. their interests are so different what would you tell them in a way there is of very sound logic to that. if in fact these technologies or purely defensive and have no purpose other than protection. why not i mean what what is what's the argument against. everything at least countries that we can trust having this capability and if it is a confidence building measure as it should be it seems to me if i were the thing to

discuss very complicated technologically. to transfer these technologies from one laboratory to another but may be sophisticated russian scientists might be able to help us with some of this just to be fair a missile defense cooperation us official of the expressed willingness to work on it do you see some real signs of such cooperation coming sometime in the near future maybe well i would hope so i have been i've spent a lot of time in russia unfortunately i haven't yet learned the language but i've i've spent in the cold war years and post cold war years off a lot of time in russia i met a lot of the russian people in leadership and it always seemed to me after the end of the cold war in the ninety's that the two scientific communities should have gotten together and i'm not quite clear why that didn't happen for example

president we had we had a win to silicon valley. within the last year very. well reported trip seeking cooperation seeking investment in the russian technology sector scientific sector i have always thought from the early ninety's on after the end of the cold war that there ought to be very very close cooperation . not only between government laboratories but in the private sector also american . in russian technology russia has some brilliant scientists mathematicians physicists and it always seem to me it ought to be a natural partnership and hopefully it's still coming up and it's not happening i don't know i hope i haven't been able to go to russia nearly as much in the last few years so i don't know mr hart when the first starting of course remember that

was sign it was a breakthrough. breakthrough that would change the world will start to change the world and how will not in the dramatic. historic sense it's a step and it's a large step it will get rid of dangerous unnecessary nuclear weapons on both sides so it will change the world incrementally in a rather large and important step but it will not be the hinge of history that people will look back on and say that was the. that was the event that that fundamentally changed the world there are going to be more coming but there has to be step by step by step thank you very much very thank you.
