the nature of conflict has changed there are fewer casualties is that at the same time it's more difficult to deal with you know we didn't have suicide bombings during the cold war we have that no so it's created a new thread so our armed forces have got to be modernized they need to be more flexible they need to be more maneuverable they need to go a long distances here they have to be highly skilled and they have to use the most technologically advanced equipment but instead of both it's both a nato and russia we're investing in the equipment of the cold war huge time it's big for missions you know the wrong type of people we stick taxpayers' money on the wrong weapons were fated in the last war not the next conflict so we've got to adapt nato has to adapt russia has to adapt in order to be able to confront those new challenges of the threats to our security by talking about more modern weapons

versus that's when the guerrilla we're talking a guerrilla warfare they're not using very highly advanced weapons themselves whether they are more primitive than a suicide bomber an individual who straps an expose of the vase to to themselves and blows themselves up themselves up as well as others company or this is you know this is all this new it has happened in the past but never on this on this scale so we we've got to be innovative in the we we think about these things as a political side to this and those are a military side of this so that means adaptation innovation cooperation and it means cooperation and among all of the walls. are going to be affected by modern warfare and too much of a tie at the present moment take it all worth scientific threats ancient ghosts of ancient conflicts and people here talking about. nato and some common you

know possible need to fantasy it is a fantasy and we have people in the way still say russia. russia russia wants to rule the world look at what catherine the great say you know i can only secure my frontiers by expanding catherine the good has big quoted today more sad to say i hear it if you go to talk to people in the streets they say we're worried about migration we're worried the bird with the piracy on the high seas were worried about our jobs our pensions because of economic instability we've got to focus what people are concerned with and start working together to deal with these problems well it's interesting that you bring up the different problems of your sense of who is nato's enemy because international terrorism first doesn't sound very convincing as you rightly brought up there are other issues that people are concerned with so who is nato is the enemy for vader's enemy is instability

it's what will turn of this it's the people who are on the insurgents' it's it's all of that exactly the same with russia's enemy is you we're not talking about nature being russia's enemy or all russia being neither is any of the the fact is that we've got to deal with these problems for example suddenly in the indian ocean the ships every country of being attacked by somali pirates in small boats so what happens to that what is the response to it is it is a multinational three hundred need to control because nato has the machinery to do that with russian ships traineeships a mother of to take to the ceiling of the ships that are living against these pirates from a field this is what is the other big problem we've got peace these fragile one field states where government basically doesn't exist. and it spills over refugees it spills over. in terms of child builds economic instability these are the enemies

we got to deal with but they're not the all creative it is this is not seen charity or appearing on your pile or even you know the soviet union or need to study this it's much more disparate but it requires us to be imaginative and her thinking you know the pilots the. international criminals the traffickers think globally. bald those who don't matter to them at all they ignore borders but we have trouble with the border so we've got to start thinking as innovative with and and was allegedly because these people do if we're going to keep people say now you mention your corporation with china with regard to the somali pirates out china is growing konami power and they also know that they have the biggest military two point twenty five million strong is a reason to be a sleaze as china well know because china is facing the same problems you know when

the piracy came up it was traineeships as well and china decided it was going to be engaged you know so we saw thinking of cherry guys an enemy rather than as an hour against these forces of dissolved you and then we could another cold war while else would we want to do that here the neighbor of china is north korea north korea's got nuclear weapons and it's a crazy steers clear crazy people run it so as a threat to china it's much closer to china than it is to or to new york city so you know we need to engage all the different parties in this and north make artificial distinction right some more cooperation rather than points of contention with china at this point here you know i wrote. the greatest and most successful defense ryans of the world has ever know nato. and. it has been it has been useful

but it had survived and thrived because it wasn't just a military organization it was an alliance of values a belief in democracy a belief in people choosing their own government the freedom before the law of good neighborly relations good internal relations all of these things these are values kids you need to together know russia share of these fall but show needs to be part of that community of values so that we know what will defend that's what that's what to do these conflicts and what today's world is about it's defending the all the states against this order of world and bringing stability to these parts of the world as well but one of the country that sort of creating a bit of instability in that at least in the minds of western countries would be iran now to two years ago at the pentagon has has been reportedly developing plans of attacking iran how realistic is that but i think everyone goes in option climate

from the lowest to highest level you know that's that's natural because iran is not a normal country seeking to acquire nuclear weapons and iran is a country whose president the ready said it wants to wipe one of its neighbors off the mound so you can't talk about iran in terms of just a country developing a nuclear deterrence it's a danger to its neighbors and indeed as it develops long range missiles to a much wider and wider area and frankly when i go to moscow i think people more school even more kids than the americans are about a nuclear iran because iran and terrified of the missile sites they're much closer to the russian border than the united to the american border so the rhetoric may be different but we have all. all got

a common interest in helping the people of iran to escape the state spirit dictatorship of the star and to stall iran being a menace in the most volatile region of the world now here we're analyzing a country with at analyzing there a leader of the same way that possibly here we've done with iraq in the past so you should have a right to think that was a mistake because there were no weapons of mass destruction found to date but we know that no we didn't know that the. source wise i was was after the other the iran and iraq have not the same iraq was a dictatorship of the most vicious and a horrible time it was a country that has attacked one of its neighbors iran and used chemical and biological weapons it is a country that invaded another neighboring country kuwait and reaped and pillaged to the emir it's a country that used chemical weapons against its own people in the kurdish area and

the it's a country that dreamed the marchioness where the arabs the shia arabs had live for many years and was involved in genocidal attacks it was it had a track record of threatening its neighbors and the wider region and we therefore believed and i had good reason to believe even if the intelligence was faulty it was up to something and it was only a matter of time before he would again threaten his neighbors and threaten the region iran has no more a fundamental or stupid or should we see for the recent demonstrations that the people the people of iran want to be free they're able to demonstrate you are they have been ruthlessly traced to the moment but you know this is nor a monolith country and i think we need to be more sympathetic to the new corniche decent peace loving people in iran and encourage them to stand up to those who would replace them and seek to decent. that would mean leadership.

leadership is of huge importance in the world today i'm not a leader of any war i'm going to say. but the people who must carry on the edge of leadership and the hundred. people. and who we need to fight the new to us to be able to deal with these can see if we go on. with the ghosts of the past then we've missed the opportunity of doing something i learned we take our people and to danger because we've taken out the real i thank you very much for your time pleasure.

that more recently in the past few days and they continue to think it. meanwhile reigning champions into man face a tricky tie against vertebra men at the san siro where both through their opening group games and both are hampered by injury with him to strike a diego lito a date after hurting his leg or their benito says having plays sidelined has become part of the game. for a good. team with quality food and with a lot of experience but if they have some but so do we this is perfectly normal more than the food bill because the game soon turns and this one is also going to be a very difficult match but it shouldn't go twice hockey now and in the care of shell torpedo have come from two goals down to beat the chairs five three and pick up their fourth victory in a row on the race it thank you was the man of the hour for them as he launched the comeback and completed the scoring in the only other game of the day service style snapped a three game losing streak last night at the expense of winning three two. the

plays of europe and america have had their first taste of the course where the battle over golf's ryder cup celtic manor in wales is the stunning venue and the excitement is building there is europe look to win back the cup from the americans it doesn't take off until friday crowds are already turning out to see the players practice and they're looking pretty relaxed to. him is giving it the i kept into europe skipper column one gone read where he said he would try to build team spirit and seems to be doing just that he was puffing on his cigars as he was weighing up the course which has been well received by the plays were obviously lapping up the occasion and the atmosphere. of golf courses and phenomenal condition. and some really thick rough the greens are taking a good shot there nice affirmed pitch to you know the ruling really true so i mean you know obviously fingers crossed for the weather

a good weekend's weather like we had this morning there and the golf course was really really well. set up and i think a good golf will be rewarded this week and that's what we want to say and why i think it always has a special significance. each and every year as americans we have the player teams every year playing the ryder cup at present scope so. the teams are always fun to be a part of we don't get a chance to do very often as i said once we leave college you need to do it real often so for us to come together like this and be part of a squad is as truly as far as the thing that goes on a team around so that's what we all look back on. the memories and friendships that you build for a lifetime just in one week. and the connections we've had it's sawfish one called white for it to stop. james twice the n.b.a.'s most valuable player has defended his hundred ten million dollars to the miami heat michael jordan a magic johnson slam james for leaving his longtime club the cleveland cavaliers in

his pursuit of a maiden n.b.a. title but the limping champion says it was the right thing today they paved the way for guys like myself i watched those guys growing up audio clips so i have nothing bad to say about them but i can live through those guys are going to make moan destiny and this is the run up to like i need you to go and i want you continue to get better as a professional and continue to do the things that i do on and off the court. meanwhile the new basketball season in russia were tipped off in just under two weeks while the club's finalizing their preparations ahead of the first clashes the moscow region side triumph has also faced the dish and challenge of many changes at the club during the off season as constantine but top off now reports. bust people caught up triumph or maybe just three years old but they have already built up a reputation as a rising power in russia however the moscow region saya have been mired deep in financial problems leading to loss of their coach and almost entire squad so this

is and there is a host of new faces on board and a new tudor on the bench while the modest home matures the fifty one year old leaf through any and who is well known in russia for having previously coached cousin is eager to put his coaching skills to the test with his new side they're going to go but i would say that our squad is totally renewed we've got several hard prospects my only hope is that they will get their confidence through games no matter if we win or lose we work very hard in a training camp in the only thing needed for them to become good players is time. for more russian international wesley could i show who put the last ball in the basket of his professional career just a year ago or will this season work as an assistant coach. when i was a player it seemed like we had a very hard life training every day but now i understand that i had plenty of spare time to do whatever i wanted after sessions as a coach i have to spend all day firstly on the court then prepare tactics for

a next opponent and so on the responsibility is much higher and lots of problems are there to be solved in the forthcoming season will be very demanding not to mention challenging for the blue and whites the collapse hoping their murky signing can make a positive difference playmaker german under some will be putting on the triumph jersey in twenty down the canadian national team player and where that fans will be eagerly waiting for his debut and the birth of because you know the young. not only do i have to worry about myself and my play by play of the younger guys so it's pretty much a step into a little bit more than that i am a big boy but i look forward to. having a name such as triumph expectations are always relatively high but this season it's really all about adapting to the tough new circumstances but if the club can see through their heavy financial difficulties and the till and city under series in their pay and resurrection could happen sooner rather than later and think about

our team and that's it for me for the my lights are all about and. culture is that so much could be going to make a lot of people a year yeah but look at me next to kim isolated and impoverished north korea is badly in need of change how will this happen and who will. wealthy british style. that's not on. the. market find scandal find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines you need to cause a report on r t.
