what's going to happen according to present the data if we could see it starting by as soon as two thousand and twenty russia and the united states have signed strategic arms reduction treaty specially for the purpose of preventing an arms race and this a.m.d. seems to be an apple of discord at exactly going to do the opposite and provoke it we never say it's we would agree on missile defense or overnight or even in a few months this is true important for all of. the gianluca missile defense is going as far as to not as easy as many hoped it would asked of lisbon summit however this is going on and today we are talking about how russia sees further work in these field russia's envoys to nato it has been saying that it's now time for nato members to make suggestions when it comes to a possibility of a joint anti-missile defense shield in europe together with washer as russia has already made steps forward in that direction but none of them seem to have been

9:06 am
unexpected problem a lack of sales to drop where there is demand there is supply in this case germany has agreed to provide the much needed ammunition previously berlin has abstained from voting in favor of the u.n. security council resolution on libya a move that surprised some and angered others but it may now be backing out of a decision the germans may not want to participate but are they have decided that position does not preclude them actually some supplies weapons in this case or systems some believe germany is under pressure from other nato members particularly the united states friends in the u.k. to take a more active part in the libyan campaign at first hand. you know ministries toward the foreign affairs minister don't go into libya it's a very bad conflict it was started by the cia and it's a dirty business don't go there so this is why you voted with russia and china now

three years. barack obama has recently announced afghanistan drawdown plan has been slammed by republicans they say withdrawing thirty three thousand troops by the end of next summer is too much of a military risk but lawrence lister finds out that the talk of change may just be a symbolic gesture as there's no end in sight to the u.s. presence in the country. the aftermath of a taliban attack in kabul. a luxury hotel frequented by foreigners earlier this year taliban gunmen wearing suicide vests storm a guest house used by u.n. staffers. last year another attack on hotels this is where every year. examples are strewn through the near decade war familiar aftermath we have any pay

9:17 am
critics i see no difference between between him and robert gates and for afghanistan we now hear a presidential pledge to pull thirty three thousand troops out by september two thousand and twelve fully we're covering the surge i announced at west point well it certainly sounds like what the american people would like to hear for the first time ever a majority want u.s. troops out about ghana's down as soon as possible fifty six percent while thirty nine percent want troops there until the situation is stabilized you can see the trend is really flip flop. but what is the reality of obama's plans for troop withdrawal all that thirty three thousand he's calling for is a minority of the one hundred thousand american troops that are there that's not including another forty two thousand some nato troops and ninety thousand department of defense contractors meanwhile the u.s. has reiterated a long term commitment to the country there certainly has been an agreement that following two thousand and fourteen there will be some kind of continuing presence . of presence and financial burden some see as permanent observers believe u.s.

9:23 am
often superior to traditional mechanical models and don't require the patient to take drugs for their lifetime the lab director is hoping more successful implants will encourage health authorities to invest more funds and i'm fortunate. that only two three produces live biological volves in the whole of russia and it's not enough great no people here died. well they can get the treatment two weeks have passed and natalia is out of damage and she wore. it's just i feel wonderful i feel like i have a life and plan to return to my job and i want to have children. doctors say that natalia should be completely healthy in six months and hope she'll be the first of thousands to receive the lifesaving transplant you go regardless of r.t. moscow. and as far as most in hopes that russia and the alliance and agree on missile defense plans in europe by next may however moscow used the latest russia

a nato summit to warn that the dialogue is moving too slowly let's not cross live to sochi where a foreign minister lavrov and the alliance face a holding a joint news climbers. in our midst while the british despite all of the remark a mission that we will carry with their cars at all like they are now we have given to all of you know our seminars a question similar to your question why russian news and you know yourself francis is etta james if we can are going to do her introduction of people out there is not a paradox you know i doubt. there is a list of the dangers of not france to russia and the least of dangerous nato guinea is the name of twice but not different every station that you know raising a stranger's meaning of course we don't see a friend of your neighbor chunk you. like to see trash where you are not in the national infrastructure of nato and the context you long for the lines was part of our history and our growth for it is of the respect of mine in. general and he was
9:25 am
. right i'm going to sell a view on that is now there is no more just a little. time guarantees were given to us is that there will be no military intercepts on the territory of you marry me. i still don't. know who present. during the meeting when and where is the consul is military options to peer at your borders you cannot by take into college it into your military planning moreover as we've learned thanks to weaken leaks there was some plan during day at least and summit inside nato a plan or in defense of poland and both tick republics from the etext from brush air and of course it makes us. i think because as we have a goal of fourteen years ago our together with nato in
9:26 am
a joint document at the highest level we proclaimed that we will not wage war against each other and when this facts become known it gives rise to question that these clarification and we highly value their spirit of sincere open dialogue of that is now prominent in our conversation and allows us to discuss the most difficult questions and for the second time where on nato is named to now military doctrine also in the list of danger is we see a danger in that nato while taking decisions on how it will act beyond its area of responsibility can violate international law if it happens that we believe it is dangerous as you understand not for the russian federation of iran but for the existing word order for the system of those shelters that
9:27 am
we endorsed in defaming solve the un charter that's all and as for all other dangerous we don't not see that it did not name down and out i underline nato is not a threat for us nature is our partner we want our partnership to become strategic as we have agreed in lisbon will make our best to go alone this way but not forgetting about problems sometimes here is that so persist in our relations. but she broke into. a civil. war there we have some statements that are coming out to us live from sochi from under us for grossman's when the chief of nato and other russian foreign minister sergei lavrov. and as for grossman saying that nato stance really hasn't changed when it comes to the european missile defense program nato stance is the
9:28 am
same that it's still wants a double missile system a unilateral system but he did mention the possibility of creating a legally binding contract that such a missile system is not a threat to russia and when it comes to us off the russian foreign minister he said there are certain dangers involved with such a missile defense system but he did say very forcibly at the end that russia and nato not any reason that they share a good relationship well enough unless of course over to the business task and korea. those. little pellets the international sanctions says that they simply those. live in collections by russian designers the most beautiful is the city of central russia. this is
