more weapons something that russia doesn't want to push us army chief said they would have to come up with ways to target those interceptors the other problem that the russians have with the system is that it will eventually be deployed for north from iran and very close to russian borders and nato is saying that the system is designed to counter possibly a potential threat from iran but iran doesn't have the kind of weapons that the shoulder is intended for are they so there are lots of questions as to its efficiency and purpose also the u.s. refuses to give legal guarantees that the system will not be aimed at russia at some point so it's a huge issue which is not just about trust it's also about guaranteed because leaders change situation evolves it seems there needs to be a more consistent basis for cooperation but both russia and nato agree that the dialogue on the issue has to continue of galveston is at the forefront of this year's nato summit agenda its member states are going to coordinate this their

because the crisis about the u. is on far more than just a currency it's about the future integration of europe and we have come to a point where we can no longer solve the euro crisis by simply urging or pushing or requesting greece to opt out and to leave the eurozone because the problems are far beyond that we could have so some two years ago when the crisis was a very beginning so the discussion is no longer about greece the discussion is no longer about whether germany is profiting or benefiting less or more from the you from the eurozone the question is how we can get the problem solved as quickly as possible without damaging the european integration process was more than seventy five percent of the votes counted in so a serbian nationalist thomas laugh nicolette she's winning the presidential election by a narrow margin over the pro-e you can see there's
