the west bank in response to palestine to progress toward state. next hour to talk to russia's deputy foreign minister about what's ahead in missile defense talks between moscow and washington. we're sitting down with. russia's deputy foreign minister he's heading the russian side of the us russia working group that deals with issues of global security arms control missile defense thank you very much for joining the mystery of russia and void two nato said the u.s. seems to be surrounding russia with military installations like an anaconda and that was his comparison and that russia would have to try and break out of that not how deep is the misunderstanding on the issue at the moment and does it seem like all of russia's concerns are falling on deaf ears in washington i wouldn't describe this is along the lines as you did i think we have

a very very productive and all the way straightforward a difficult one but a very productive dialogue with our u.s. partners we are making no secret of our concerns we are definitely disturbed by the fact that the instability will grow according to our assessment because of the u.s. effort to deploy a missile assets in several regions of the world including in europe according to what was described by president obama and his people as european face the dept of approach when you're saying strategic stability will be disturbed what do you mean by that strategic stability is a very multiverse the term and notion that implies several things we can for example not allow for further cuts in or fence of strategic weapons in nuclear weapons in the absence of

a meaningful arrangement in the area of missile defense in the area of. conventionally armed or fencing weapons of strategic range. in the absence of real settlement in the area of imbalances with regard to conventional weapons it would be very irresponsible to believe that we just move forward in cuts in numbers of strategic weapons while advantages. and even predominance of u.s. and nato parties as a whole in other areas just grow you know it will always stretch the very concept of strategic stability and it may well break apart we are very sponsible in this regard how close or how far is moscow from possibly pulling out of the start treaty of the us advances with their missile defense plans in europe we have

a very clear explanation of this situation by a president with video of who on november twenty third presented what i would describe as a phased adaptive answer to the phase the dept of approach our phased adaptive answer means that we are not rushing into any dramatic decisions like the kind you have just described we begin with a very mill limited response to what we think is a real danger a real threat to our assets if situation develops in a negative way if we. steal and will be still unable to arrange with the us on something meaningful in the area of missile defense or them further action may be in visaged including our withdrawal from the new start but we do still hope that we have sufficient time to make a deal to break

a deal with the u.s. on missile defense is it just hope or do you actually hear something from your american colleagues that suggests that this may actually work out we are not seeing any changes in. the american position and we have the very same preoccupations and concerns as you have already heard on our part for quite a while so how to bridge this gap this is still a task to be resolved washington says they have iran in mind when unfolding the missile defense shield europe how big of a threat iran really is in your opinion i think the or were all. of iran's missile capabilities is hugely exaggerated by the us we do not thing that what iran is doing in the area of missile technology is in the area of development of long range missiles that all these underpins the u.s. stance that this you know technological hedge against security risks is

validated and that much attention should be paid to the development of missile defense capabilities in fact this is one of the areas where we have considerable differences of views with the u.s. that makes this whole discussion even more difficult did you get a sense that washington would not attack iran even though we hear all kinds of bold statements here let me tell you the following we are concerned by the very focused and forgive me for the word one dimensional u.s. approach to the reunion issue. you know looking just starts at sanctions but they are pretending that they would be able to engage your brain as diplomatically but we cannot see any concrete any specific move on their part towards this while they after day week after week we are witnessing sanctions and

other new sanctions i do not believe this is the right way to go i don't believe the iranian party would ever offer any concession under that much of a pressure. we on our side we have long ago declared that they according to our view this sanctions policy has exhausted its meaning and it simply makes no sense to continue this way we cannot share responsibility for this to belie the situation in the whole country which may fall further expansion of sanctions we think the only way of a way forward is that of compromise we can i think we still able to find a deal breaker with the reunions and what russia presented in form of the so-called lover of the land i think is a realistic alternative to the current impasse but it seems in washington they're really afraid of the word compromise with iran what if they do attack iran what

would russia do i hope. i really hope that this will not happen we are doing our best to encourage the u.s. and for that case also always really friends to refrain from resort to force i think this is simply the way to know we're i here completely share the view of former national security advisor zbigniew brzezinski who just used the word catastrophe in describing what it would mean eve this war would begin even iran would be attacked this is a very dangerous path and i do believe we still have chance and time to avert this development and find a meaningful negotiated solution the u.s. is winding down wars in iraq and afghanistan but for example they're expanding their military presence in the persian gulf what will the american security

architecture look like after the point that we regularly exchange views with the u.s. on this issue a regional security in the gulf is a very common topic with thing that the point here. to underscore on my part would be first. the should be ensured a real local regional ownership for security arrangements should be made that no one feels that its security is threatened because of the u.s. pull out secondly with respect to afghanistan we are telling our u.s. partners that we cannot understand the for what purpose they're contemplating a long term presence in forms of u.s. military bases in this country and in some of these recent areas i think we need further explanation for these plans you were talking on withdrawal i think this withdrawal should be full and complete how would you assess the results of the

operations in afghanistan what kind of afghanistan is the u.s. leaving behind i think it's a bit too early to tell of results i think we are me the way towards something different i think in many ways. the al-qaeda capabilities have been undermined by the us and by seth campaign where we see us results or where we are not that satisfied with how things are moving is the area of drug production narco trafficking here we have a lot more to do also in the area of interdiction of america loads destroy a lot of laboratories and stockpiles and definitely also the kitchen of crops here we have a lot more to do with i serve and we hope for u.s. and nato would be able to cooperate not only by a lateral deal with russia but with the collective security treaty organization this is an arrangement with our immediate neighbors in central asia that is very

active in the area of country narcotics with regards to syria the possibility of a military intervention in syria do you sense that it is diminishing. and as far as armed rebels in syria does russia have any information on who is arming them we do not want a repetition of the libyan scenario there the problem here is not that much of who is arming whom and through what channels although this is also an important part of the whole equation and we are in constant discussion of this aspect but the major political point on our part here is everyone all actors around all and all foreign powers everyone who really wants us stabilize situation there should avoid action that may be regarded by opposition elements in this country as an incitement as you know a push towards

a military solution no illusions should be left that this is possible we should do the reverse we should encourage and urge these forces and the government for that case as well to find compromises to move together towards a better future for the country to reform the country and we're working with both sides we should not take part is there the whole goal would be a more democratic and more stable and more inclusive syria rather than a divisive us towards a yet another civil war in a country that is that centrally pleased in in a very dangerous situation in the middle east thank you very much for the interview thank you.

hello there go tell the company again this and. kaplan conquest possible no bad break a sweat on the way to the second club world cup title in three years. for the first time since nineteen ninety nine no way fresh bronze to become women's world champ and. beating that always russia is visually impaired athletes train hard hoping to make it to the paralympic games despite funding. let's start with biathlon where team russia has won the combined relay race at the third stage of the world cup in horfield the mixed quartet of all good looking at all these rights. and. left their rivals with no chance we're looking at had some problems with shooting but. gradually it put russia and longer leaders by the end of the

second stage russia's men were perfect in the shooting and fast on the track they beat their closest rival czech republic he wants twenty seven seconds to france came home third with bronze. over to the ice now russia where russia's minor hockey league select produced a poor start to the american north quarter call each side they fighting sioux threshing the red sox five one to merican place to advantage of the disciplined russian outfit and they scored three of their goals power place brooke nelson making this call exploring right after the sounds of to go for spin allies for tripping the russians were comp and the end of the third period where a lot of it was converted to a power play calling one goal back for one score meaning at least it would be a white course the americans then added one more to complete remember the n.h.l. today is made up of place from the continental hopefully you championship.

on to football now where barcelona have won the club world cup that's after beating brazilian outfit santas in the final question in japan it finished four nil in favor of pep guardiola when the game billed as the. name was more like barcelona against santas goalkeeper. the catalans dominated the game all the way through with the opening coming from lionel messi seventeen minutes in soon after that hardly double delete for the european champions with a precise strike from inside the box. third goal killed any remaining trick at the end of the first half they score there after the break messi made it fall into boss or to win their second world cup title in three years. most of those three points adrift of domestic rivals realm of spain after last collectivists one on saturday while on sunday third city and should.

horse races yet with victory over malaga the first go straight from the how to score textbook. finishing beautiful in nine minutes from the break and things went for a full house just after the hour mark. going past one defender of the side before crossing four so dr who again showed just how instrumental he's to his side to the final score there are four points behind barcelona with sixteen games played. staying with football where. the city are again on top of the standings after beating us no one. in the match of the day. scored for a better mention his men fifty third minute of the game meanwhile city's cross-town rivals manchester united claimed their thirty's excessively bitter in london while explosive charges were too good for the league's rookies queens park rangers as

they defeated their. go strong and carrick in the meantime have gone third in the table following a narrow victory. lap with the goal that live with. a way to. home to paralympic football now where despite funding russia's flits continue to train and one day make it to the paralympic games and michael cera has more. this is not your regular soccer ball it's much heavier and has a special features for the visually impaired not the key to this game is to actually hear the direction of the ball and when a player kicks it all throws it it makes a sound like this. this is going in along with food

they make up two different events at the modern paralympic games for russia fail to qualify for the london games from the latest european championship in turkey where a coin toss decided their fate after the match against the hosts turkey ended in the goal this draw. which we all knew that it would be one for the london paralympics who knows what could have happened. but they decided to through a cooling off the only draw with two if you instead of a penalty shoot out which is not very sportsmanlike so it's a pity. these guys know that they are strong enough to compete with the best however the luck of the draw at the european championship in turkey is not the only factor hampering russia's efforts lack of support and little to no funding from football authorities and respective governments sports apartments adds to the already obstacle filled lives of these courageous athletes the thing is the plus for the sometimes we have to be seen for uniforms and even some of the trips to competitions like the latest presidents cup for example with those we had

a loss training camp and so much it had to play for our own way there as well well hopefully the teams financial woes will soon be over but it's apparent that money or lack of it will never become a barrier for the guys who are not used to giving up head coach need to liberia devoid still doesn't have an official status within the sport of stories but over the last seventy years his team became a five time champions of russia and the base of the national squad there were a month off to my team defeated road runners up spain at the domestic international tournament and continued on beating the likes of england and germany and even greece financing was suddenly cut and the team was inactive from october until may so apparent in picture eames futile from the beginning the passion of blind football is evidence the first time delay arrives on one of the training sessions which sometimes can be more dramatic than any other olympic sport the medical wellbeing of injured players is in the hands of just one doctor was banned all of

her free time with that same dull fear as the typical injuries for the visually impaired usually happen when they collide against each other and get bumps and bruises muscle or a broken limb are unfortunately also a regular occurrence i didn't come across a player who mistakenly kicked the opponents had instead of the ball visually impaired football in russia is far from the level enjoyed by some other countries but this hasn't stopped the national side from getting the better of us. blish powerhouses of blind football success still largely dependent on individual enthusiasm in the rear axle room on cost artie moscow. as the slowly running out more and more competition is determined there champ and spain and bolt in no way has won the women's world cup title by beating france in the final game thirty two twenty four on the road to the decider the french side defeated russia which had won four out of five previous competitions. in the final

game to have to face another top class outfit the two thousand and eight olympic champions no way that challenge proved to be too complicated for all of a false charges scandinavians took control over the game midway through the first thirty minutes to make the tough time gap equal to six point nine nine hundred thirteen and the second period wasn't a turning point for france no way register thirty two twenty four victory and claim their second world championship gold in history. lee westwood has climbed to second in the world golf rankings the english man getting there by winning the first ever title and championship in bangkok westwood started the day with a four short length charts wants to south africa kept up the pressure causing an eagle on a par five eleventh the twenty eleven year loss to the champ and would then drain

a long birdie putt on the twelfth to cup westwood's just two shots but the briton admittedly rose to the challenge sinking his own along on the same have to go through eight shots clear truslow again threatened on the thirteenth but westwood stood his ground rolling in another body to move forward shortly and he will get better eventually finishing with a final round of sixteen i take a victory in a row tournament by a full seven strokes. i'm definitely headed in direct right direction i see a lot of improvement. and really just enjoy the way i finished the year and won two of the last three events. go into winter with a lot of confidence trying come out next year playing the same kind of golf i played this week. but a bit leaner and well rested. ok that's all from me and the sports desk for today good bye.
