i think actually it's a pretty good simulation. mission in order to address those kinds of questions it's obviously not. a test of any kind of. anything. but for the psychological questions it's very very. stay with us here on our t.v. lots more coming your way in the next hour including this. mafia wars turn the center of moscow into a gangster movie the notorious kingpin gets shot down but manages to escape with his life. and one step closer to a nuclear weapon free world as the start treaty goes to the u.s. senate for approval. and if you may be back with a recap of the headlines as well as the week's top stories stay with us here on r.t. . this

history still keeps its secrets but now it's time to reveal the city of the soviet files house on the embankment and. in some pieces books available in. grand hotel emerald. has a club supposed to turn photo in the big old hotel. corinthian it skips on its. twenty two look you will come on. now so it's.

twelve thirty pm in the russian capital good to have you with us as we give you the latest headlines and wrap up the week's news out r t choosing from the left and the right sweden votes on the country's parliamentary elections but a far right group causing 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 released in warsaw. russia and norway agreeing to a landmark deal that puts an end to a four decade long disagreement over disputed waters in the energy rich parents. the 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 it's known as the start treaty and it's hoped the arms reductions could set an example for other countries to follow our he's got a cheeky on talks to former senator gary hart about the issue and russia u.s. relations stay with us.

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 former senators including gary hart thank you so much for joining pleasure a few days ago i heard ambassador richard bird say 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 trading the senate but in your opinion how much of that was about the actual treaty and how much about republicans trying to make a point to the democrats well over the course of my are involved in the arms control issues the pentagon has been republican presidents get much. quicker revocation easier read of occasion 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 virtually all coming from the republican party so i think those of us who signed the letter in the opinion piece or hoping former secretary of state george shultz and senator hagel are hoping that we can encourage bipartisan support for this treaty and hopefully at 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 committee include at that point in their resolution but the russians seem to understand this type between up fast if and defensive weapons in the treaty as legally binding are we lost in translation or is it just me well i hope not the 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 of what was diplomacy is to overcome those language 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 on start after the press conference and i asked her about this whole debate to have the connection between offensive and safe weapons to end the train 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 that's legally binding as 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 the outsiders 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. tricky 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. concern 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 and russia its 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 have but. as time goes on hopefully the questions are

being raised again primarily on the republican side will be satisfied at the end of the day there will be a vote 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 may 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 and you are going to be around for quite some time it's turning out 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 only 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 washington us 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 irgc human 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 on missile defense cooperation u.s. official of the expressed willingness to work on it and 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 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 and. in russian technology russia has some brilliant so it is mathematicians physicists and it always seemed 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 signing was a breakthrough. breakthrough that will change the world will start change the world and how will it not in

a 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 there has to be step by step by step thank you very much very thank you.
