for sitting down with us i want to begin with that start with signs a new start was signed in april twenty ten you yourself have said that progress has stalled how much does the u.s. plans to install missile defense there and russian's opposition to it have to do with well i think it's a factor i mean there are a number of reasons that i think the process and slow down i mean really this is been a political year obviously a new presidency and a new old presidency in russia presidential elections in the united states i think the russians are having second thoughts about relying less on nuclear weapons which is certainly part of american policy but the disagreement on missile defense is also an important factor russia specifically has said of late especially that it's concerned about new modifications of s.m. three incept or missiles which i understand are believed or are fast enough to

shoot down russian missiles in the sand so to russian spy the elections and despite how important national security platform has for the russian people for elections it seems like it's really out there for the kremlin despite the change that we're about to see i don't think it's very helpful to talk about all these technical intricacies i think there is a real technical difference over the capabilities not of the existing system that nato is planning to deploy over the next two or three years we're really talking about a system that might be deployed after twenty twenty. and it's not even clearer. given the fact the u.s. is going to have to reduce its defense budget simply to meet its fiscal problems at home whether that new system will ever be deployed so i think there is time for the united states russia and others to sit down and talk about these issues why do you think that you asked has failed to convince russia that one missile defense system

would not be directed against them and two why can't them can't they give them those guarantees well i think that's a very good question and i think it's because not only russia but the united states are still locked into this bilateral bipolar cold war mentality and it's a problem both the united states and russia have had trouble adjusting to a new multi-polar world and dealing with a new range of threats the problem nuclear weapons today isn't that the united states is going to attack russia russia is going to attack the united states the problem nuclear weapons today is the spread of nuclear weapons in particular to unstable countries say for example pakistan or even the nuclear weapons could fall into the hands of terrorists and this is a problem where the united states and russia should be work should work together rather than focusing looking backwards in the rearview mirror i'd like to talk a bit about president putin obviously coming back to the kremlin he has experience

with this issue he's openly criticized it. and says that it undermines really the trust between the two countries how do you see him coming back to. that to both brussels foreign policy in that sense and to the disarmament program well like i think almost everybody else i don't have the slightest idea. he you know he can he can continue with that kind of. cold war rhetoric that he ramped up during the election campaign and blame the united states for all kinds of going to various activities behind the scenes or he can take a more. practical course he can be more of the putin and the early part of his tenure in the early part of the of the two thousand two thousand and one two thousand and two and see practical solutions i think there is a practical solution for say any missile issue but as long as that both sides kind

of treat this as more of a theological issue they won't make headway what about president obama how does that play into his reelection campaign the anti missile issue is not a big issue in the united states i mean the iraq issue certainly is and but even even even so it's really domestic economics but obama is in a tough political spot because i think while he would like to fight he did arms control solution to this problem and solve it he already backed away from the bush plan to deploy these he's more capable missiles in poland and the radar in the czech republic i think that he's got us he's got a u.s. senate. with some republicans that are making it difficult or making it difficult for him to make i think give him the room for maneuver that he needs to find a practical solution with. and also

a budget instruments in there right you know that's that's that's a key issue here and we're talking about capabilities that are more than a decade out that that actually the uniform military the joint chiefs of staff are not great advocates are going to some defense. and so it's it would be a tragic irony if the united states and russia unable to move ahead on arms control based on a system that will never be deployed in the in the first place what about the reset when we have to start over do you think has a failed you know i don't think the reset has failed at all in fact on some issues like afghanistan there's not a lot of cooperate. and i think on the fighting drugs for example i even think in areas like syria where two or three weeks ago there was a lot of. angry rhetoric about the two sides positions even though i think even on syria the two sides are becoming a little more pragmatic and moving towards each other so now there are

a lot of strategic reasons for the united states and russia go to work together. in particular you know there are two big countries that face big problems challenges both domestic and international and most of those issues i think there are similarly a lot you mentioned earlier that for americans and the wipes in your missile defense is not a big issue but iran is why what's the threat well that's got a rim remember that in the united states we been at war in the middle east for over ten years there's concern also of course that iran it with it had nuclear weapons could it could threaten israel and seen as an important ally and there's also the threat that if iran were to food weapons other countries other in the region like turkey or egypt might also apply or a weapon so it's the overall instability with the arab awakening or the nuclear is a sham iran and the united states' involvement in that region which is is

a matter of concern a lot of critics though would say that one there is not any proof that iran has a nuclear weapon or is developing a nuclear weapon and also that there's a risk of repeating. weapons of mass destruction mistake made with iraq with what it's like you said it was a it wasn't just a mistake i mean i think that clearly in retrospect the information to suggest that iraq had had it was building a nuclear weapon was flawed but you know i mean the problem with a iran i don't want to claim a no that i'm aware of that they have a nuclear weapon the question is how close are they to a nuclear weapon and i think people honestly disagree. on that question but i think there's a general agreement including agreement between moscow and washington that if iran were to fire a nuclear weapons capability that would not be nice as a stabilizing development for the region we disagree on what the consequences might

be and how serious they would be but nobody would i think like to live in crowded or near and live in or near a crowded nuclear region where iran maybe egypt maybe turkey israel already possess a nuclear weapons capability that is not a very happy future what do you say to critics who say why can israel have nuclear weapons and iran not both in their hands and it's not a question of saying israel can have nuclear weapons in iran not it's a question of doing what we would like to do which is move towards global zero and the global zero israel would not have nuclear weapons i do it i happen to think that a nuclear weapons free zone which would include both israel and iran where neither country would have nuclear weapons would be would be much better than the current situation you mentioned earlier rhetoric building around iran and media reports suggesting that israel may in fact strike you ron of course it's all speculation and no one can guess what will happen but if that was to happen and the

infrastructure and almost destroyed less than the threat somehow well i'm not sure the israelis could actually destroy a aronian nuclear infrastructure it's very dispersed some of it is hard and some of it's underground so they might be able to set it back but i don't think they could destroy it and the consequences would be very unpredictable i would assume that the iranians would retaliate one way or another and the prospects for a regional conflict which grow so it would be a very destabilizing step in my view i'm not a proponent of the israeli strike against iran russia and the u.s. have very different approaches. ron is there any way that they could possibly work together to move forward on it started to happen back with six parties talks but they stalled again is that an option do you know i think i think there are i think they're working together now next month the so-called p five the permanent members of the security council together with germany the five plus one and cathy ashton

from the european union will be sitting down with the iranians to talk about a negotiated solution which would potentially permit the iranians to engage in peaceful uses of nuclear energy while constraining their options for developing and to play nuclear weapons so you know this is a promising development diplomacy in the in the past has not succeeded with the iranians say they were only it's a very sophisticated tough negotiators but this is an area where the united states and russia are working together in terms of iran and missile defense and all of the issues we've touched on realistically. you seem to be a paid an optimist which is a good thing but realistically how do you see all these issues playing out in terms of the global zero initiative within the next couple of years well i think they're absolutely critical you have to be an optimist but i think the big problem is is

correctly or incorrectly identified it is if we fail. to. head off. the acquisition by iran of nuclear weapons i think that is going to open. the door to several other countries acquiring nuclear weapons maybe three or four other countries in the region could acquire nuclear weapons that would not only be very destabilizing but you know that it's the danger of twenty first century is the danger of the spread of nuclear weapons not the build up by the united states and russia do you think that global zero is possible in the twenty first century it's certainly possible that in the twenty first century the question is whether it's possible in the next twenty years. thank you very much for being with us.

league where cypriot sensation up oil experienced their first major blow on this year's campaign in their first leg against the giants real madrid three nil the pinal scored but madrid could not break the deadlock until the seventy fourth minute of the match and everything pointed to a draw at that stage however sometimes the substitutions why he chose the more radio ensure victory for his side with french international karim benzema posting a brace and a brazilian midfielder adding another one to record a crushing win for the ninth time european champions and we knew that the last part of the game would be difficult for them and. we know that for a solo to come in when the other team was was if you thought it was the right moment. to do it but. it was a game with characteristics of a possible zero zero because they were. the first in the park.
