which is a good girl how would. she ever heard told in talk of. the russian capital twenty four hours a day this summer. thousands have gathered in. the victims of a terror attack and. exactly three days after the deadly blast that killed thirty five and injured over a hundred. in the name of a reporter in connection with monday's terror attack at the airport has appeared in the russian press it's claimed a man from. the region could have been the organizer or even the perpetrator the. forces have reportedly built a next generation nuclear warhead it's capable of penetrating any defense systems

including those still under construction. according to the russian economy and investment. of the world economic forum in battles with. russian president's speech on. the upper chamber of the russian parliament has approved the long awaited start treaty. with one of the key players behind the negotiations that interview is next. the new strategic arms reduction treaty between moscow and washington is set to reduce the number of strategic arms on each side by around one third which is a significant step forward in terms of both global security and the view lesions between the two countries for more on this i'm joined by the chairman off russia's federation council committee for international relations. thank you very much for

doing thank you for having me here the president's made a video and i'm on the we're able to sign this treaty before us and republicans gained control of the house of representatives and then the demanded that some amendments are made before the treaty could be ratified were you at any point worried that this treaty would not be passed. needless to say that for us in the upper chamber of the russian parliament all the work on the fakih ation has started long before the document was brought. to the floor to vote and we started our consultations with our colleagues in the u.s. senate even during the talks in geneva when negotiators teams were joined by american senators and by russian senators when we met in prague during the procedure of signing of that agreement and right up to

the agreement was signed in prague in april we sent our delegation to washington we have a permanent working group the u.s. senate the russian federation council permanent working group which works successfully for the last almost eighty years it's co-chaired by ben nelson democrat from nebraska and by myself on the russian side so we started our consultations long ago and we were let's say trying to remove all the speed bumps on the way. the read the for creation which could appear because the discussion was rather tough both in washington and in moscow and i think we did . a significant amount of work together showing that for us both on the capitol hill and here in moscow. the word it is a reset is not just

a word we mean when we say the reset we need that reset unfortunately during the last twenty years we failed to work out the positive bilateral agenda both scald war agenda in our bilateral relations it's time to correct the mistakes of the past it's time to use that opportunity or lose it what impact does the ratification of the treaty have on this three set off relations between moscow and watch well i think it's a way for the continuation of. that joint work. again i consider that work to be the work on the positive bilateral agenda we did a lot of by the way working on the revocation we managed to pass successfully through the u.s. senate the a so-called want to three agreement on the russian american cup ration in the nuclear field i mean the peaceful part of it the nuclear energy and. that is

concerned we also are moving forward on the russians w t o accession america is very supportive we are moving relatively fast and i think that two thousand and eleven will be the year of russia's w t o accession after that i will merican partners will have to do their part of their homework i mean revealing the circle jackson that a commandment which is one of the dinosaurs of political address of parker of the time of the cold war. but it's not enough we have to have more time as we have to have more docking mechanisms we have to have more bridges the more interdependent we are the better it is for our future how should treaty be ready for kishen be interpreted by those examining russia's foreign policy well actually for russia it's quite the natural step. i think that one of the main goals of our foreign

policy is to have. a friendly or at least neutral neighborhood on our will boarders. russian event states of america are only fifty kilometers far from each other we have a merry time boarding in the bering strait far in the north op in the north. and i think that for us the relationship with the united states of america is of crucial importance we are two biggest nuclear powers we are two biggest global powers we have to coordinate what we do in the international arena so for us it was quite a natural step just to explain to our viewers why have russian lawmakers sought to amend elements of this treaty well. the statements which we adopted both in the duma and in the federation council did not amend the text of the text will be implemented the wait was signed by the two presidents and the same can be also said

by all the statements adopted by the us senate we make political declarations we are politician is likely to not go through there and here this is our way job and making our political declarations we will to draw. some kind of guidelines for our will governments saying that these are what concerns these are our ideas and if you want to be successful as to governments you should listen to us you should hear our concerns and i think we are just trying to push ahead with two governments in that process of building bridges which make us closer to each other but what effect do you think these recommendations i think or special statements may have well of course. executive powers both american and russian should continue the work. of all the mechanisms which were created by

the president obama and mitt vieja in the framework of the reset i mean all the joint commissions all the joint to working groups. they have to work hard we should not repeat the mistake which was made by the previous administrations when president bush and president putin is. agreed that we have to build a partnership but that signal was not clearly sent to the level of two bureaucracies and two bureaucracies to my mind managed to bury successfully of the idea of real partnership between russia and the us and we ended up in august of two thousand and eight at the lowest point of bilateral understanding and mutual trust we should not repeat that mistake so we are trying to kick to bureaucracy as well lying to we're we're we're trying to push them forward we are ready to help them moving ahead and actually i am going to to do to washington next week to take

part in the u.s. national prayer breakfast where i will have many meetings on the capitol hill trying to inspire my colleagues in the u.s. senate to continue our wood joint work which we know how to do successfully we learned how to roll up the sleeves kick out the journalists and discuss the issues of bilateral concern before they arise those problems we know how to work successfully and we know how to work rate of. the u.s. interpretation of the treaty says that it does not obstruct from any missile defense plans while russia insists there's a concrete link between offensive and defensive arms does this mean that there is a fundamentally incompatible understanding of this treaty on on both sides well. much has happened after the treaty was signed on the eighth of april two thousand and ten in prague nato and russia have successfully started the process of

negotiations on of joint missile defense project. we started working together and we are planning to continue that work united states of america is a cornerstone of nato alliance we understand that pretty well so if we do that i mean missile defense project with nato that means that we shall be doing that project also together with the united states of america and and the other nato member states so i think that the signing of. the prague treaty between. united states america and russian federation gave very positive impact on the process of restoring mutual understanding and mutual trust between russia and nato so we are moving ahead and i think that the rectification will help that movement a lot is it fair to say that russia has embraced the spirit of the treaty while the

u.s. is focused strictly on the your letter off the law well actually i think many people both in washington and in moscow have embraced the spirit of the treaty the problem before my american colleagues the way i see it is a very tough discussion a very tough you few allow me to call it political. fight between the democrats on the river and the republicans mostly on. internal agenda and unfortunately as it very often happens in many countries foreign policy and security issues become a kind of hostage of the debate on internal issues and we were really concerned during the debates in the u.s. senate that the reservation may become. kind of a victim of that discussion between democrats and republicans on the internal agenda well the political wisdom prevailed that was a very good signal

a very good indication that foreign policy does not become a hostage of internal debate but i think that most of the concerns and most of the criticism about the product treaty were connected with internal issues not not with the with the not not really with the with the perception of russia as as a partner of the united states of america. even though the treaty has been a ratified now some issues are still outstanding how do you think they will be resolved well we shall continue discussions we shall continue talks we have two a very professional very successful teams of negotiators we worked hard in geneva but worked successfully. and i think that the legacy of that process of negotiations in geneva should be used it's a very valuable heritage we managed to. revive the institutional

memory which to my mind has. almost forgotten because for about twenty years the issue of arms control was not an issue of bilateral agenda so i think that we have to be moving forward despite the differences in interpretation it's definitely that this treaty is a great example for other countries how likely is it do you think that others may join this treaty well others should not join this treaty this is our cup of tea and we shall be drinking that tea together with our american partners big boys are sending strong signal to the others we are reducing our nuclear arsenals. we are sending a signal to you the next phase will involve your nuclear arsenals although it will not be

a fair play thank you very much for your time. is he.

commemorate the victims of the terror attacks. exactly three days after the deadly blast that killed thirty five and injured over one hundred. on the name of a reported suspect wanted in connection with monday's terror attack at the airport has appeared in the russian press from southern russia. could have been an organizer or even. science fiction becomes reality as russia's own forces a reportedly built a next generation nuclear warhead penetrating any defense systems including those. still under construction. and the russian economy and investment climate to discuss don de true of the world economic forum in doubles the tone for the event was set by the russian president's opening keynote speech on wednesday. continues in less

than fifteen minutes from now in the meantime we got the sports news point that's next hundred australian open throwing up surprises this has been a really entertaining tournament this one it's certainly the bits i've been able to watch have been worth while all the top seeds lost today including roger federer and the women's number one wozniacki find out. after this ok. hello there you're watching the sport and this is what is coming up. top seeds tumble down under is that one of the all of the at ski lose out in the last quarter plies the late. federer is undone by george evasion straight sets in the men's semifinal. banned for a year tour de france again contador is punished the day. but first it has been

a day of upsets that the australian open russia's second seeded is of a new yorker losing her semifinal to kim clijsters in the belgium will face now late in the final after she beat world number one caroline wozniacki as one of the over was hoping for avenge against kleist is who beat her in the final of last year's u.s. open however the russian was outclassed early on as the number three c. took control of the set after gaining a crucial break before serving out to move one up the world number two had breakpoint opportunities in the second set as she tried to get back on level terms but she couldn't find a way past crises and sealed a six three six three victory in just under an hour and fifteen minutes. today i was able to just stay very aggressive throughout it all and keep my own unforced errors down put a lot of pressure on her. you know so i mean it was good on one for happy with this . and that is this today i think should played

a very good match very clean match i tried to hang in there you know i knew what i had to do but i think she was executive truly well in the quality of my shots were and maybe good enough to hurt her today she was playing fast and maybe affected my game a little bit well classes will play now in the final after the number nine seed stunned the world number one caroline wozniacki the dane was praising a set and a break up in the second and then had a much point however from nowhere really hit back to break her opponent twice to send a match into the deciding set momentum swung both ways but the break twice and then surface victory holding her nerve for a five win and in the process becoming the first ever chinese player to get to a grand slam final. of course is a good experience for my whole life because in any prayer is a pretty. long time but they never come to the final four. they're.

treating i can do well and let's do this sometimes some matches. that's one ball that can change everything and i didn't get my match from ghana well sure. but i was the most important clients and she won the most important one which was the last one and of course right now i'm sitting here and i wish i would have won the match it's quite difficult to go through that one. now another shock for novak djokovic to reach the men's final at the expense of the offending champion marge ephedra the swiss losing in straight sets a real surprise after the first set went to a tie break it looked like it will be a long dog getting canned joke of each wanted to go a set up and then federer banks back and was four games two up in the second credit to djokovic today he stayed aggressive and went on to take that set seventy five handing federer a dose of his own medicine. and not point it never really look like federer will

fight his way back joke about it claiming the final set six four he will face either andy murray or david in the final as the federer is without a grand slam title in his possession the first time in eight years to have been serving world under pressure even though i got a little bit tired it's made some double. when i was up a break but that's normal you know in the. lead stage of the tournament against roger you know and he knew that i have to use my chances well for you to go to a great match i don't think. played a very high intensity for. a long period of time and. really it's disappointing to lose you know. what to do if close one of the big points and. that's the maybe i didn't say it was a tough match when i stay with tennis but in moscow now russia's recently were tied to time grand slam finals and then big champion italy in

a dementieva is picking up the racket again but this time for charity in an effort to reintroduce orphans to the game she was joined by her tears guard club mates eagle couldn't sin and that he or called skate and you know the cops are the former stars paired up like tied after two sets however olympic champion dementia and double specialist or course ski managed to win the last set on a tie break but the outcome of this match was not important as the athletes are discovering a new am rewarding way of can. if you type thank you. today the most such a great experience to have all this keep supporting us and being so close the chance to watch all the famous russian stars here in taste club so i hope it's been a great experience for for us and also for the produce young kids and their future if they may come here and try to become a professional things players i hope so. very excited to take part in such

important activity and i'm just a very grateful to all the sponsors who took part of this event and just a very amazing. thing is gave me so much in my life right now i have a chance to give something back to the kids and i just just a really amazing moment a good cause now let's talk football with the city's emmanuel by all says he's live and deal with reality drew it is a dream for the totally striker has joined the spanish side until the end of the season admitting this city boss roberto mancini has lost confidence in the reality currently second in the league a four points adrift of boss alone and that he boyle has his sights set on winning the league title. party going to on top of us doing it for them. to me come here come friday or get into to achieve one two what you are going to see much of the city so overcome here is to make my dream become true make the dream of the go become to go to school in groups that weekend in and out of the you have to write

a given to you in bands contador does have just under two weeks to appeal but if the ban is upheld he could be stripped of his latest tour de france title for the moment though the rider says he's just concentrating on training with his new team sacs a back. story. and well i moderated and focused on my wark it's the most important thing right now regardless of what's going on in their own you you've got to work that's what brings you or war to the future. we'll finish with golf in the news tournament on the european tour john add foods has the lead evolve champions event in bahrain he'll start the second day with it to show question over the rest stuff an impressive eight under par round of sixty for the sweet hitting. carded a course record must be thinking he's a chance of ending his nine year run without a title but there is competition francisco milan arre seen here along with peter
