a permanent lootera base for the next decade before turning their gaze to mars. now the ups and downs in russia u.s. relations endure and facts on the world are under scrutiny in our special interview we talked to brock obama's former national security adviser. general james jones thank you for taking time to time this of course former security advisor national security adviser to president obama from two thousand and nine twenty. i'd like to start with what you think the top priorities in terms of u.s. russia global security are let's focus on cooperation first i think. the russia us why lateral relationship. is one of the most important relationships on the planet for. words. of all the things i was privileged to be able to do in the

white house i think working on the so-called famous reset of the relationship was one of the most satisfying it was manifest by the personal relationship of our two presidents from day one and resulted in that spirit of working together and developing trust and confidence that resulted in the start training. and i think resulted in. the two countries looking at the same problem through a much more common blandness and perhaps ever before so it's not only very important i think it's crucial certainly the timing of the new start treaty and twenty ten was held just a tremendous step in the reset but a lot of people now are wary that progress is being halted by differences on missile defense how do you see that moving forward well the thing missile defense at least in my view and not in my discussions with my russian counterparts.

in which we've made some concessions i mean one of the things that i really thought was successful is the early on we sat together with our counterparts my national security advisor counterparts and. what is it that really bothers you about what we're planning to do and two thousand and nine and heritage in the bush administration's plan and they told us and we looked at it when he said you know that kind of makes sense for the i were if i was sitting there i might say the same thing and so we changed it and then we made it much more open we made it. much more communal in the sense that at some point if russia wanted to participate in it russia could and to me that's the. that's the value of it. there are people though who are still living in another century in a cold war that kind of thinks you know what deep down inside it's really us and

the russians the guns but it's not the case i don't believe that's the case i don't know anybody who's serious a serious thinker and my former profession which is the military that that would seize russia as an enemy. we think that it's a lot better for russia and the united states to find a common ground and missile defense is one of the areas where we should work very hard with the rest of the europeans. to find a solution but with goodwill trust and confidence and knowing each other better. i'm a big believer in the military to military training and participation so the young leaders today in uniform will grow all together and at the end of the day when they have to talk to each other on telephone there will always be there. we can bridge a lot of those gaps and we must leave the twentieth century. to rest in peace as we

move forward in this very complex twenty first century to do things together we have all of the cooperation they are talking about why do you think the u.s. has been reluctant to give russia written guarantees that any kind of system in eastern europe would not be. meant to get that why won't they put it on paper i don't know. that we would or that we wouldn't put it are not part of those negotiations so i can tell you certainly that's one of the main. the main concerns for russia. in terms of missile defense i don't think among friends and. trust of the allies nothing should be insurmountable unless it's you know. something that is fundamentally against the security of each individual nation which nobody wants to see happen but i think we've come such a we need to think that we reflect

a little bit on how far we've come since january of two thousand. and i would i was really proud of that very encouraged by that and i hope to make it to the extent that it might be somewhat off track right now but also we both have two national elections for both. going through the throes of a very inward focus when you have a national election we come out of both of those elections my guess is that we'll get back on the track of. doing to good things were going for your one of the big platforms speaking of elections especially in the u.s. is iran and you mentioned how far western the u.s. have worked together really to make progress on that but lately we've been hearing a lot of rhetoric in terms of iran not necessarily from the white house or from the administration but certainly there's a lot of talk about the threat of iran what pret and how real is the threat

as you see it i think that. you know iran does represent a subject matter where the u.s. and russia work very very well together. and i thought russia did some great things by canceling the sale of deals through hundreds. of united states so. there are so many many instances of being sensitive to russian concerns and sharing vital information. so that we were able to get it come to a point where we really had a pretty good understanding of what the threat was in terms of the report of the iranian nuclear program hell on we had before it became a real threat and how we could work together to mitigate that threat some. so i think. if we look at iran today you look at its behavior. to me

it's a sign of a regime that is really feeling the pinch a little bit of global isolation of some of the things that russia and america agreed on just a few years ago. the russian support for the sanctions regime was vital. it's clear that. inside iran there is inflation high prices that they're feeling that i cannot be squeezing the diplomatic isolation. i don't know if that's going to change their behavior but it's interesting that they've now talking about rejoining the talks with the i.a.e.a. i think that's positive. and and so i i think the policies that we work together on three years ago are now showing some possible fruit in terms of the behavior of the icing. i know how the president

how strongly the president feels about this relationship with regard to iran similarly with. with israel we are working very closely with them to make sure that there isn't a precipitous action that would be justified in terms of where we think the nuclear program is. we get to these positions by working together we get to these positions by trusting each other we get to these for the sins by sharing information and i think iran is one area where we've done some very good work just finally on the wrong there are experts and within the i.a.e.a. as well who say that the threat the nuclear threat first of all iran is not exactly what it's played up to be outside of iran one and two if they abide by the law that iran says it have a right so you a nuclear program how then do we move forward without encouraging got the standard

we have always said. that iran. should have access to peaceful nuclear power if it wishes we've offered to replace the fuel and it's a medical reactors inside iran. so it's not an issue it was the whether a country like iran or any other country if it wishes to have peaceful use of nuclear power there ought to be a way that that can be provided having said that iran has also. cleared rather openly what it would do if it became a nuclear power because it be one of its neighbors in the region. so those words have to be listened through a little bit and they have to if iran seriously wants to. play according to the game play one of the rules that all of us play by and sign the documents that

guarantee a certain behavior. there's no reason the iran could not have nuclear power and nuclear power for peaceful use so you know that to me the the the the pressure and the responsibility is not upon russia or the united states to to. make iran do anything but it doesn't want to do it's up to iran to say you know we want to be like north korea ten years from now living in a world of isolation that's a great civilization great people we happen to know that the iranian people want more freedom they look upon the west and countries outside their borders as as inspirations and ways in which they can see the freedom of our societies and they want to live like that. they're going to have to figure out how they get that a little bit more but as far as the nuclear question i think that the both of our countries have sent signals to iran that there is a there's

a perfectly reasonable pathway that preserves their dignity and their respect to get to a peaceful use of nuclear power so it really is up to them general james l. jones former national security adviser to president obama thank you very much. the swiss the plant that was responsible for causing the world's worst industrial disaster and now it had been abandoned in a condition where it had become a source of pollution and the most recent study that was done shows that this water pollution and spreading. to pollute. more than hundred.
