9:32 pm
again this is all see coming to live from moscow the headline. first chance is lucia nothing to have public sector strikes in france to maintain pressure on the government ahead of the federal budget and pension reforms students amounts to a march thirty first son to parse out the crisis over the measures the groups the nation but support for the protests is losing ground critics say they're only making the dollar situation boy. prosecutors are looking into the claims of child abuse and one of russia's oldest on the notices say they were severely beaten deprived of food and sleep or i mean my infringement of their rooms the convent denies allegations. and to give demands for an extra nine hundred million pounds and contributions from the u.k. i met with outrage as the country round holes with the largest round of spending
9:33 pm
cuts since the second world war the country has already announced plans to slash complementary public sector jobs as part of a multi-billion pound ravine the aim is to reduce or debts that swelled during the global financial crisis. and as the headlines now talks to dmitri rowe goes in russia's envoy to nato about relations with the alliance spotlight is up next here . hello again though welcome to spotlight. today my guest in the studio is the need to keep. the upcoming summit leaders. and most probably accept a new security concept this document will guide the policy for the next decade the
9:34 pm
concept of nuclear proliferation and cyber crime the main threats to security. scots. those who masterminded the strategic or maybe something moscow would like to improve. russia's special envoy to nato. just a month before the lisbon summit many experts agree the proposed security concept. welcomed by an analytical think tank criticizes the concept of a unified perception of threats to the alliance countries to suit their own goals and fail to find a common threat but need to secretary-general anders fogh rasmussen he's sure the walk real soft proposed missile defense shield. sounds.
9:35 pm
like russia to become a part of the system. hello mr i. thank you for joining our program first of all how. to work various levels both in large scale formats. the european union the united nations in the always see anyone formats in other forms and says well russia has existed was developed in europe for thousands of years so we have a long history of relations with the leading european nations so i mean that's why whenever i'm asked whether this summit has brought something new. that would be holding joint summits with france and germany for at least three hundred years it's
9:36 pm
a very important former because both france and germany are in the. european union. even if they have influence and they have their own opinions and russia has not a total indifference to their positions. and should also take account of the russian stance it's an open secret that the arrangements we are trying to reach are related to other organizations including nato and the european union at the school do you think that the document signed into veiled really have a bombshell effect or is it just routine politics. the russian president is not the only person who thinks about how to build relations inside the european union side of the greater europe so to speak well from the point of view of restoring imbalance of interests there are other leaders who are thinking about that everybody knows about on to a merkel's approach in the eighty is over nicolas sarkozy who was borat is
9:37 pm
so-called concept of security from his russian colleagues with regards to the creation of the common european perimeter of security and various levels of security within a vast european space and that is why in this respect all president has an opportunity to talk to people whose presence. is not just nominal and who are ready to listen and come up with their own ideas. there had been a lot of talks prior to the hill so. the creation of the. moscow axis the idea was first launched in two thousand and three. and later as it's true that the idea is once again on the agenda. and i think that it's for our fellow journalists i myself am a journalist. so it's important for our fellow journalists not just to write a simple story but. it's not just an obstacle that falls on the pedestrians here
9:38 pm
but in. also building well not he styria but i can see panic feeling it's it's a nightmare. thing is falling. apart the european union is to collapse. if the russians have made friends who would be a success. but in fact we are really working with various formats so i will give you an example. in moscow for just a few decent now and then i'll have to return to brussels. highlevel expert conference to be held in a totally different format this time it will be russia poland and germany so we are trying to build triangles. because this is what both. when you have twenty eight or twenty nine states in one form and like the nato council each state leader is given a few minutes at the most to express his point of view and the arrow formants are
9:39 pm
used to form something different so narrow formats is where the actual work is done and they help finalize agreements that have been reached. standing behind. russia and europe which is something that you don't deny that the new york times for example writes the name reason is desire to distance russia from china on the contrary the british newspaper the times says that. it's an attempt to tear off europe from america writes british history and impartially have always been. never alive when russia started building up its european policy. also thought that it should be in their interest there are the islanders like many others. certainly not an island nation. continent i would love to tell those skeptics are so much concerned with russia's
9:40 pm
return to european experience that russia has always been and will continue to be a european nation. century was a century of exceptions rather than rules what i mean is ferocious isolation self isolation. or europe's unity create ever lasting peace in europe and overcome a historical split between russia and europe and here a kid from the twentieth century. seems that the germans are going to insist on their sovereign right to have nuclear weapons withdrawn from german territory how far do you think they will go. just their trump card or is it serious politics. just given an example would be a subject of accord between france and germany because the of the french nuclear doctrine the use of such that it doesn't even provide for france's participation in nato its nuclear planning. part to returning to nato military organization france
9:41 pm
has reserved its full sovereignty. had been a condition of france's return to nato training. still sticking to the quality of defense from all directions started by charles de gaulle there's also certain unpredictability with regards to watch be considered an act of aggression against france. french territory an attack on french interests as for the germans theory absolutely different like some other european countries germany favors the. nuclear weapons in the european continent to russia has withdrawn all tactical weapons from the turret tauriel for mississauga it allies and keeps these weapons in russia while the americans consume keeping their weapons in europe so many europeans don't quite that talk to ordinary people
9:42 pm
in brussels you know not just working there i'm also living in this city so i go and speak to my neighbors and when i tell them that u.s. nuclear bombs are located fifty kilometers away from their homes you know firstly they don't know anything about that and secondly they get depressed when they find out this is better not to tell. them no i think we should keep telling them that that is why it's very important for the germans to seek the europeans so world becomes free from foreign. just make sure you don't mention nuclear bombs to your dentist when you're in his chair. has suggested involving russia in this so-called european missile defense we did moscow hear anything specific about this and what was the reaction when can we expect a reaction that's. what you hear of the difference is not limited by missile defense per se it. being nato. let me explain what i mean by that the
9:43 pm
bush administration used to overstep nato and build relations with different partners directly that's the way they dealt with poland and the czech republic which would lead to a would find out. after the fact it was destroying nato rasmussen in houston to see nato's integrity preserved talks with all countries and with the u.s. in particular common. european missile defense system for all the allies you know also partners like russia but at this point is more of a political ad t.n.a. has to do more with nato so internally show of unity. so when we are trying to figure out so to see if there is a black cat in this dark room or maybe diskette is no longer black or maybe it's missing a tail or ahead no one can explain it so we're dealing with a political invitation basically economists but they're trying to involve russia into something unknown to us. head of the summit to the
9:44 pm
debates over the new strategic concept or final stage in the discussions among nato wise men how can this new concept change nato policy towards russia and whether it's matter. first of all the wise man have no longer anything to do with this new concept it was some sort of a trick on the one hand we saw that some work was being done on certain people who was most wanted all capitals including moscow he did come here. yes they came here out of people we studied it carefully began to comment on it and suddenly we find out that this paper doesn't really matter instead there is another paper that they were not going to show anyone. nothing to do with it to nato secretary general himself wrote the real keeper you know it is being discussed by nato member states behind closed doors strong russia has not seen this document but i hope it will be
9:45 pm
introduced at the summit so you haven't even seen it. yes let's put it this way we haven't seen it and no one has given it to you to read right we were not given these documents arranged and that's why you can't make any comments about if i'm right of course. right another question they munich security conference session that's currently taking place in moscow. issues are being discussed and that says a lot for that's first of all i would let's just say that the russian president will be hostile to screw this and i think it will be a significant event because the president he's hosking the group after he made certain decisions in deauville together with his french and german court nurse and the many conference which has the reputation of the main security forum it involves country leaders or key decision makers. and the fact that it's
9:46 pm
a mini conference now has sessions in russia. says a lot about the importance that russia is playing in the decision making process. s. four d. mini conference itself it will take place in february next year. will be in the caucasus. and. also leaders over. here but china will be key presenters there which will says the. russian representative spotlight will be back shortly off till we take this should great sales stay with us. every month we give you the future we help you understand how i get there and i
9:47 pm
want to bring the best in science and technology from across russia and around the world. join us for technology update on our g. wealthy british stock. markets why not scandal. find out what's really happening to the global economy cause a report on our. welcome back to spotlight on malvern love and just a reminder that my guest in this studio is the meeting i was in russia representative to. the nato summit in lisbon which will take place in november but russia was invited to it did russia except this invitation
9:48 pm
and who will represent our country there. we're not supposed to take reporting nato internal events and we will but on the sidelines of this of down to there will be a special meeting for countries that send troops to afghanistan. president. and some others. participate in this meeting so they will go to lisbon even though there won't be any special meeting with ukraine in georgia. as for russia we don't participate in nato advance but we are ready for a serious dialogue at the top level within the russian nato council format. have discussed the issue of russia joining nato several times. you like to quote since you're one of us who love to discuss this topic brought up whenever we talk about nato because it's the most interesting part of what. city you
9:49 pm
expert and former german defense minister added heat by saying that the time has come to accept russia and to nato. he suddenly say that. mr for a friend of mine we even published a few things together in the german press. but i have never dealt. personal integrity professional skills. and is a former term defense minister mr shaw really thinks that it is possible to by the way you ask this question it seems like it was your idea and you. know not at all of course not on the contrary i have always told you i don't believe in it he. has the right to have this opinion and he's sincere in his conviction that.
9:50 pm
others on the other hand are not being so sincere or talking about this issue because they think this could entrap. and want to get carried away talking about joining nato. it is like saying that if a grandmother had a mustache she would have been a grandfather. we know that and would not turn a grandmother into a grandfather. it's the same with russia when it will not become in the member and it's pointless to discuss this but it is just. used to undermine our objections against other countries joining nato countries like georgia ukraine and so forth. if we ourselves join nato how can we be. doing the same in fact we realize that the new nato member is to join nato escaping from russia. scary russian beer cool to join the alliance.
9:51 pm
the presidential thing called. they often raise this issue of russia joining nato saying this step is a necessity. what do you think about these guys from the institute of contemporary development. i think they are naive. ones to stipulate that far beyond the border. of nato countries. of course president thing about the guys down there right away. is russia concerned about this freedom that nato is trying to granted sell. well yes. it could because there need to be certain criteria for assessing threats coming from different parts of the world and they're not the should nato thinks that these threats come from everywhere else and usually from forward beyond nato is borders.
9:52 pm
where's our home then. just imagine the situation what if nato thinks that a mosquito on your floor and if he actually means to bite them. or b. if they gather all their nato mighty. sledgehammer and it was huge in the forward with it. both you. and the mosquito. was it was it that you told me sounds very russian which if i did see people sit on the porch drinking tea . the other one on the forehead and says sorry mosquito i have not seen this kind of concern in other countries. and all russian traditions are good and should be applied by other countries the u.s. state department has confirmed the european travel alert issued earlier this month spotlights of a has the details. europe is a dangerous place at least according to the u.s. state department which issued another at the beginning of october it suggests
9:53 pm
europe has become targets for al qaeda what immediately raised questions was the vagueness surveillance which wasn't country specific but covered the whole continent the media speak your waited that several european landmarks could be targets among those most frequently named have been a photo op and not to dom cathedral in paris as well as central station and hotel and lawn it was mentioned. that the planned terrorist attacks could go along the lines of the move by attacks two years ago then a small group of terrorists attacked a number of sites and killed more than one hundred sixty people the threat apparently comes from the region on the border between pakistan and afghanistan where terrorists trained following the u.s. alerts several countries including britain japan sweden and france issued their own travel warnings. as for the travel to be taken. to
9:54 pm
a poor trip advisor dot com and usa today. percent of americans decided to defer their trip to europe. this thread. talking about. complicated structure as dated does not help in dealing with today's challenges. just think about security problems and by the way. this point needs its military forces in order to defend its borders from outside. who would attack nato. especially because she's no longer considered an enemy. who needs to be involved in all nato projects. nato good question if anybody
9:55 pm
plans to attack nato this would not be a military threat and in order to deal with this threat they don't need such huge military forces they need some. special services these services could exchange information from dr special operations targeting certain regions dealing with specific threats nato can spend as much time as it wants looking for a job but i think its current qualifications make it hard for the alliance to find an appropriate job. has been revealed. a special attention to the issue of delegating. to the afghan authorities. we are now getting alarming reports from afghanistan. you think this. might take. you who wish to i don't think will find any example in history
9:56 pm
when americans answered some country and then exited right away but when they do something like that they don't usually plan on an immediate pullback. i think that in some form or another if the nato contingent will stay in uganda stand or in the entire region they will find some kind of excuse for steyn so they will stay on some military bases maybe not in afghanistan itself but close to its borders but of course the one hundred fifty thousand soldiers and a huge amount of equipment will be pulled out but you will with the wife. because nato realized that their methods so good dealing with insurgency don't work in afghanistan. and secondly they don't really want to fight there. they mostly try to use our there are special forces or the afghan army but afghan forces don't have a strong fighting spirit yet we will do so in this sense meaning in the nato headquarters
9:57 pm
or discouraged maybe when close to panic but so the troops will also because the war in afghanistan is very unpopular especially with the european countries so they will delegate responsibilities to the local afghan people and to special services. but if you do this will be discussed unless bought a right to go ride but let me give you some numbers which may surprise you it's nato expects about seventy thousand people to resign from the have to security forces next year but how can you say that you have an army how can you say that you have security forces when half of me were soldiers resigning every year some afraid it thirty americans and their allies have just stirred up the corn it's nasty and now they're pretending like everything is fine when you post stuff. it is happen that europeans will start flowing out of town and americans will be the only ones
9:58 pm
left there to fight that war alone the whale was. very possible the as i said most likely americans will stay there in one form or another europeans believe and americans will stay but what about nato. will nato solidarity he's fallen affordably in the european military presence is often purely nominal should take iceland for example they have two officers in afghanistan what's always there it's hardly talking about here. it is important to the american citizen to have their reactions outside and as legitimate you see that's why the answered of ghana stand along with the european troops and then you. give about this is not important to europeans europeans for one reason only to this way they see one security. stand the actually spend money and personnel used for this atlantic solidarity so
9:59 pm
it doesn't really go well with the european laws you need to remember ship which is develop especially about thank you very much for being with us and just delighted that my guest here in the studio today was meeting and i was in the russian representative to nato and that's if the now from all of us here if you want to have your sale spotlight or if you have someone in mind who you think i should until next time. at altitude. and let's keep spotlights interact will be back with more fares and comments on the what's going on in and outside russia until then stay on and take a.
