during the cold war was over the number of conflicts in the world went down by he percent. so we live in a much better world today but 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 you know so it's created a new thing so our armed forces have 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 sides both the nato and russia we're investing in the equipment of the cold war huge time is big for missions you know the wrong type of people we stick taxpayers' money on the wrong weapons were fated the last war and 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 guerilla war talk about guerrilla warfare they're not using very highly advanced weapons themselves whether they are more primitive than a suicide bomber an individual who straps or expose of device to to themselves and blows themselves up themselves up as well as others a 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 a military side of this so that means adaptation innovation cooperation and it means cooperation make it among all of those. are going to be affected by modern warfare and too much of a. i at the present moment just take it all worth son took three it's ancient and

ghosts of ancient conflicts and people here talking about nato and so of course you know a 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 friend by expanding catherine the good his big court is today more fun to see and hear if you go to talk to people in the streets they say we're worried about migration we're worried about you 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. 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 anybody 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 somali pirates in small boat. so what happens to that what is the response to it is that 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 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 the refugees it spills over in terms of economic instability these are the enemies who are going to do with but they're not the all of it there is this is not seen chairmen who are appearing on japan all even you know the soviet union or need to start it's much more disparate but it requires us to be imaginative thinking you know the pilots the. international criminals the traffickers think globally. ball deals don't matter to them at all the ignore borders but we have trouble with the border so we've got to start thinking as innovative with and and as allegedly as these people do if we're going to keep people say now you mentioned your cooperation with china regarding the somali pirates out china is

growing comic power and we also know that they have the biggest military two point twenty five million strong is a reason to be a sleaze as china would 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 start thinking of cherry anyway rather than as an hour against these forces of dissolved you and then we killed another cold war while here with would we want to do that you are the neighbor of china is north korea north korea's got nuclear weapons and it's a cliche stick crazy crazy people run it so as a threat to china it's much closer to china than it is to new york city so you know we need to engage all the different parties in this nor make artificial distinction right so more cooperation rather than points of contention with china at this. you know 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 of freedom before the war of good neighborly relations good internal relations all of these things these are value kids you need to together share of these fall but show needs to be part of that community of values sure 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 of 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 when i think everyone goes. quiet from the lowest to highest level you know that's that's not true because iran is not a normal country seeking to acquire nuclear weapons and iran is a country whose president already said it wants to wipe one of its neighbors all summer 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 find people more school even more kids than the americans about a nuclear iran because iran and. other than this i will say this there are much

course to the russian border than the to the american border so the rhetoric may be different but we have all got a common interest in helping the people of iran to escape the states protected to shape 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 their own leader the same way that possibly we've done with iraq in the past so we 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 there. was wise are various ways of to the other but iran and iraq have not the same iraq was a dictatorship of the most vicious and a horrible it was a country that is a tactic 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

today there is a country that used chemical weapons against its people in the kurdish area certainly it's a country that dreamed the marchioness where the arabs the shia arabs had lived 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 threat his neighbors and state the region iran his nor a fundamentalist typically should we since of the recent demonstrations that the people the people of iran want to be free they're able to demonstrate here they have been ruthlessly oppressed at the moment but you know this is more a monolith country and i think we need to be more sympathetic to the the new.

cornish decent peace loving people in iran and encourage them to stand up to those who would replace them and seek to destabilize the region. that would mean leadership. leadership is of huge importance in the world today i'm not a leader of any war i'm an ex said joe. but there are people who must carry on the torch of leadership in the world today and recognize what people are concerned about and whoa whoa we need to find the new tools to be able to deal with these concerns if we go. preoccupied with the ghosts of the past then we missed the opportunity of doing something good i learned we take our people and in danger because we've taken our eye off the real target all right thank you very much for your time pleasure.

saw that more recently in the. a few days and i continued to think it. meanwhile reigning champions into milan face a tricky tie against vertebrae men at the san siro both sides drew their opening group games both on hump and by injuries into strike at diego military is a doubt after hurting his leg although coach rafael benitez says having key players sidelined has become part of the game. for good weather bremen are a strong team with quality food and with a lot of experience they have some aged players but so do we this is perfectly normal in modern day food bill because the game so intense and this one is also going to be a very difficult match but elsewhere three time champions manchester united to travel to valencia without injured wayne rooney but manager sir alex ferguson is taking it philosophically. well all the way to rangers say probably.

resilience from our response to the fast and his compassionate ibsen out of the third with a minute to go afterwards captain said he was delighted with the performance it was the red and white first champions league victory at the luzhniki for over a decade and i remain behind in just chelsea only on goal difference the blues beat the french champions marsay to now at stamford bridge the first half goals from john terry and then they can out of tennessee the best part i can chelsea are looking good for the knockout stage. we have to play for mergers will be a very bored and. i think we have a good possibility and elsewhere two european cup powerhouses i ax and ac milan train want to taste as a touring israel madrid i was there by a single goal in the eighty first minute ground our top group with two victories and we couldn't walk in the latest one is very near. we had some matches in spain

in championship. where we had. fifteen chances to score. we didn't score we draw zero zero against majorca we draw zero zero against iran. and everybody was saying that we didn't deserve to win because we didn't score. so today we score. do we deserve. also by i mean it came from a goal down to beat ball to one fine should i get scored twice with these women coming in the eighty ninth minute so that's two wins from two for the german side not playing to their first win of the champions league campaign remaining i think two one and finally also with three one winners against ten one party's great gunners top the group along with chuck todd and that's brother three male. ice hockey now and there's been another high profile homecoming in the k h l two time

stanley cup champion vyacheslav kozlov signed a one year deal with tesco almost looks like a timely acquisition for the army when the left winger rejoins from the atlanta thrashers where he spent the last five seasons the thirty seven year old has already held his first training session with the club and hopes to rush into action on friday capital powerhouse light travels to rookies you could ask and could rely on kozlov to help them talk up only that nine games so far this year because love follows in the footsteps of goals and getting a block off right wing that makes him even get off and denise could wish call off the trio left north america discussant petersburg during the off season. golf now and the players of europe and america have had their first taste of the course where they'll do battle for the thirty eight ryder cup. celtic manor in wales is the stunning venue and the excitement is building there if you look to win back a cup from the americans the tournament doesn't to you off until friday the crowds

are already turning as to see the players practice was that looking pretty relaxed the gal humanists was giving it's the captain to europe's cali mongomery and said he tried to build team spirit and he seems to be doing just that he missed puffing on his cigars as he weighed up the course which is being well received by the players obviously one thing that we occasionally play out a swing. a golf course is in phenomenal condition. and some really figure off the greens are taking a good shot they're nice affirmed the pitch too and you know they're really really true so i mean you know obviously fingers crossed for the weather good weekends weather like what we have this morning there and the golf course is really really well set up and i think a good golf will be rewarded this week and that's what i want to see it home i think it always has a special significance. each and every year as americans we have the player teams every year bring the ryder cup

a breath of 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 get 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 that that's what we all look back on. the memories and friendships you build for a lifetime just in what we eat. and the connections we've had it's softly fun finally the new boss who will season in russia will tip off in just under two weeks while the club's a finalizing their preparations ahead of the first clashes moscow region side triumph has also faced the additional challenges of many changes at the club during the off season as constantine but that reports. busk people call 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 the loss of their coach and almost entire squad sole

decision there is a host of new faces on board and a new tudor on the bench well that matters which was the fifty one year old lee through anyone 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. i would say that our squad is totally renewed we've got several hard prospect 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 and the only thing needed for them to become good players is time. former russian international west 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. the forthcoming season will be very demanding not to mention challenging for the blue and whites the club hoping them a key signing can make a positive difference playmaker german anderson will be putting on the triumph jersey in twenty town the canadian national team player aware that fans will be eagerly awaiting his debut and the perfect you know you're. going to have to worry about myself and my. younger self but the second do a little bit more. work. for it. 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 talented he understands it on their pay their resurrection could have been sooner rather than later complaining

about out of our team and that's all for me to now but i'll be back with another sports update in just a couple that. hungry for the full story we've got it for. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on t. news

today violence is once again flared up. these are the images before all has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule the day.

if you. zoom from phones to impression. he's for instance on t.v. don't. tens of thousands of people from all across europe got that's a protest all staring them out in brussels is expected to be the biggest protest. moscow's mir will reportedly challenges psyching in russia's supreme court in opposing to the president's decision. plus could a stun gives up parliamentary election summits simmering fears of more other sin a country which has yet to fully recover from the some of those deadly ethnic clashes.

it is good to have you with us he is coming to you live from moscow. well people in countries across europe are protesting in. cuts to jobs wages and pensions there's a general strike in spain while tens of thousands are gathered in brussels to voice their opposition to the austerity measures that have gripped the e.u. . and that has more. this is the biggest march since two thousand and one when eighty thousand people gathered or at least they hope it will be if they reach the one hundred thousand mark and it's particularly ironic and apparently coincidental that it's timed as the e.u. commission meet to discuss whether they're going to punish countries that have run up huge debts countries like what we're now calling the pigs portugal italy arland greece and spain so now they have to borrow.
