and detractors are crying foul over a potential new arms race but isn't water nies ing making the weapons and the arsenal safer more up to date better everybody is not a nice thing there by modernization he does not need that you are making it safe modernizing you are building bigger and better weapons and refining the systems that you are using. and that is where it is very dangerous to continue with this modernization as a dismantling of weapons is the way to go as you did very well by lateral arms agreements between the also it union and the united states and again multilateral agreements so we need to move know who was actually having talks between new nuclear weapon states so that we reduce the level of danger. all right ambassador we're going to take a break right now when we're back we'll continue discussing whether global

disarmament is a realistic goal when it's chanted on a pallet of for over here right in nations under secretary for disarmament it's our stay too. long. all to see we have a great team we need to strengthen before the free world cold and your backs have been a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some

of that waiting spirit to the aussies he. recently had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will call on that story three. thousand zero zero zero zero he. left left left more or less ok stop that's really good. here's what people have been saying about rejected and i was actually just full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to you know what it is that really packs a punch. yam is the john oliver of r t americans do the same we are apparently better than blue things but i see people you have never heard of love redacted

tonight president of the world bank. and the royal mint seriously send us an e-mail. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want. to go on the press it's like the full story in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the lives of our. guests it. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you were yourself and taken your last wrong turn. to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i

remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about more like it was again still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave the funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with the death of this one to. tell us there were no other takers. and that mainstream media has met its maker. we're back with john ted on apollo the former united nations undersecretary for disarmament affairs discussing global disarmament issues

a master of the pentagon is proposing a nuclear response to devastating cyber attacks previously only extreme biology call attacks warranted a nuclear response and the us doctrine is just a sign that nuclear weapon use is becoming more acceptable in military minds or is it just posturing to scare potential adversaries and i mean we shouldn't worry about it too much. the new nuclear posture review of the example of illustration has been leaked and we don't know it's an accurate measure of what is the actual nuclear posture review and that it will imply that new weapons systems are being planned by the united states more money is going to be watered for nuclear weapons and this interview is straight i think we need to wait until there's really when the real nuclear posture review will come out under obama the situation was much better we had

a nuclear posture review which had progress somewhat from its serious origins under bush but now it seems to be played backwards and i think we have to be very very careful but i like to kind of positive side i don't read twenty two countries well to last year to come to the treaty which is going to ban nuclear weapons now it is true that the nine countries which have the weapons have not to need to eat a shoe minimum in majority have actually we're going to we're going to get back to what you're saying later because i want to ask a couple of questions about the nuclear posturing the united states because hypothetically speaking if there isn't a clear response how they will be sure to properly attribute the blame for a cyber attack i mean is it really impossible to tell who is responsible for that sort of thing well i think there is sufficient. refinements of these systems now to be able to source an attack that comes because there are various

ways in mit's activities on the center scale can be traced and. what they call evil ecological needs a plan if you are wrong and then you hit someone else accidentally and then isn't a timid of a risk. well it is it is a risk but at the people are loaded up that risk unless they are fairly certain of being able to get the target that their image will also invest during the beginning of the program you have mentioned a cyber danger for nuclear weapons i mean do you mean that they can really be hacked from outside are they really that unprotected as you claim there is a risk of it and that i think has to be judged and that has to be taken into account by those who manage nuclear weapon systems then surely it all risks a limit because even one percent of the risk is intolerable because that would need

all the destruction of the nuclear the system as well as perhaps the accidental explosion of a nuclear warhead so. if we look at statistics right not hypothetical is two years ahead some people was enough to show us all that it's like way too much already for seventy years we have perfect it may explode haven't actually sent them into action perhaps that's just the way it's going to be i mean having the weapons but not using them and really what's wrong with that we can be sure absolutely a hundred percent sure that the weapons will be there and not use because someone will want to risk using it somebody will decide to play. chicken or something like that who on this issue well we may have another cuban missile crisis where we go right to the edge and then don't abandon the possibility of using it

now because we'll sense may not prove it. you propose an iran deal type of scenario to get the international community out of debt and that they nuclear disarmament talks are currently in the iran deal was a huge diplomatic breakthrough but look where it is now i mean president trump is threatening to scrap it i mean does this mean that the collective effort and the will of the international community will always be left at the mercy of superpowers . unfortunately it will be left to us from civil suit was because you remember that under obama the united states agreed to having the an event with the iranians and it was working really well it's fact from all accounts which a year which is monitoring the implementation the a.j.c. be always working very well and distance from pres no justification except be pushed into this by an italian who has his own motives in doing this so we need to

listen not to the hawks little dissolves and i think that is what is important in the current global situation that we have shot like is that on the world stage donald trump is behaving much more radically than his predecessor alyson issues like north korea and iran. though nothing too horrible has been done yet and is making everyone uneasy as this is going to be from now on the us being at odds with the international community a person kovacic of the plan to say or do they really wants trumps term is over it will just go back to how things were before but i hope so but we don't know where his term is going to be all because he's been elected for four years and he will probably run again for the elections or whether even when he was the bench already is the rating is quite new in the united states and yes there are some indications that we need to be lections we're not ruling it's fair we don't depend on these

illegal leaves of the electoral system of the electorate and the mood of the united states we have to have diplomatic solutions political solutions and i think it's just the responsibility of the other looked over and says to complete these solutions and challenge mr bush to come to the negotiating table. right some better you imagined earlier at the band that general sampler put on nuclear weapons last year what's the point of this non-binding ban voted for largely by countries without the clearest i mean is it going to be at is it going to stop anything. you know we have several nuclear weapon three zones of the world and those zones were created by non-nuclear states the nuclear weapon free zones are working well because they are also sane by the nuclear weapon states in terms of protocols they've sent a laser nuclear weapon freeze on. african nuclear freeze all of that in american

and so on no these are working very well so what i say is the fact that the nuclear weapons this have not agreed to the ban which was agreed to and last year does not mean that the ban is totally useless because we are getting a large number of non-nuclear weapons there sort of demonstrated that they do not want to acquire nuclear weapons so that's a positive step so as a whole disarmament movement basically aimed at preventing uncontrolled nonproliferation rather than getting rid of weapons of mass destruction in today's world is doing both doing more of this one is to prevent proliferation of nuclear weapons but it also wants to do clear weapons already in the hands of andries must be reduced and that is nuclear disarmament so both courses of action have to be taken but what that's what's one of them is

a more realistic cause and them are realistic scenario which of them is working better there was a time when you play design members also working very well because there will be moments between the two major nuclear weapons they're set is the world soviet union and the united states to get rid of their where. they had started one and start two and knees are working well and fortunately there has been for some years now. it's hard to know this was a ship that they need to really jump start the bilateral talks between the russian and. ration and the united states but it takes two to tango and therefore the leadership of both sides must be believed to do this to tell you something honestly can the united nations really do something about weapons of mass destruction beyond talking and accepting resolutions and we know what korea's example clearly shows here resolutions don't work is the u.n.

relevant to efforts to control nuclear weapons or maybe some other organizations have to step in and with or of corby forms to deal with that well i think the united states and the united. other countries with nuclear weapons are ready to next step the leadership of the united nations if it makes it was a do and i think it's up to now the second region of the new set of the general to come up with a solution that we have with regard to north korea for example or some other countries we need to see because i think we have not explored the full extent of the willingness or the deal to talk on this issue so you don't feel like when it to form a separate body that would actually take care of that issue in particular there is

no need to reinvent the wheel because we have sufficient number of organizations the will to do it examined it will see asians there is a confluence of design wins in geneva which is the sort of multilateral negotiations body and maybe a special in lloyd's where there tasks i think we have to just get on with the gender and make sure. the climate is set right for the media to come to the negotiating table. the u.n. secretary general antonio terrace has just recently said that confidence building measures are needed to help in nonproliferation and disarmament i mean what's confidence building measures it sounds like bureaucrats speak to me what does it mean you know you must set the stage to make the new rules yes in speed there is. a better us in medieval see is that there is some rewards will there come

to the negotiating table and i think if that was. the people don't need to come now they're already only significant he's talking about marching under the same playbook the truth is that they are new to him because it will be held in the republic of korea i think that's a step forward and he was working on that. that has been done will displace all the negatives but the city that he has got now is this just or that he has lost which will be built or bastard on the palace thank you for this interview we're talking to jay authored on apollo the former united nations undersecretary for disarmament affairs discussing their rail brace of an accidental nuclear catastrophe that is threatening our world and the need for nuclear disarmament that is it for this edition of sophie and co i will see you next time.

the international paralympic committee upholds its ban on team russia despite admitting the country's anti doping system is no longer corrupt and also says only half of the russian athletes who approve them clean may be allowed to complete its neutrals. islamic state says that it was behind an attack on a military academy in kabul which left eleven servicemen dead and of the sixteen injured is the latest in a string of terrorist atrocities in afghanistan that have claimed over one hundred lives. and it's come to light of this bracelets another only revealing the secrets of your home but also the secret locations around the world where soldiers have been training.

thanks for joining us this evening my name's neil harvey and this is r.t. and. the international paralympic committee has upheld its ban on team russia for the upcoming twenty eight hundred winter games some clean athletes but not all of them will be allowed to compete in south korea in march under a neutral flag the president said that moscow has not met all of the criteria for lifting the suspension but he confirmed russia's anti doping system has made great progress. these are regularly tested and they are amongst the most scrutinized after it's in the world. and that just supervision of while we now have greater confidence that the anti doping system in russia is no longer a compromise and corrupt the competitors from russia who will be allowed to take part in the games will do so under the name of neutral paralympic athlete means not only national symbols such as the flag will be banned but also even attribution to

a country international paralympic committee says the decision is meant to send a message to russia we hold that our decision here announced today it will influence russia for the regime to have a different approach on that because they haven't met the criteria and the grittiest stays for restraint of. by a while there also have in their criteria a fully acknowledgement of what happened that there was a systematic dopping scheme in place in russia. since the accusations of systematic doping first emerged russia's overhauled its anti doping institutions still not all the clean up police will be able to go to the pyongyang games of those sixty seven tested and cleared of having taken any banned substances only thirty to thirty five will be allowed to compete that is if they meet a list of criteria that must confirm none of them was ever implicated in the doping scheme knowingly or unknowingly alum or host of capital sports on moscow's capital

f.m. radio station believes that all clean athletes should be allowed to compete. everything that is said today i mean it. is a little bit of given it that they are low so massively it's between thirty thirty five to compete a lot of a seal doesn't make sense because ultimately as we all know this diseases are based on an informant's kind of wish to get away from russia so i mean did this is based on roger and i think we have to be very very careful in how we deal with this for special deals astley to power our streets they are already presumed guilty before you have a chance to prove your innocence you've been testing clean in the last twelve or seventeen months as mr parsons brought up they should be allowed to compete we go back to thirty or thirty five athletes will go right now we believe but i do believe just more twists and turns yet to calling this tale. earlier today the world anti-doping agency opened a new investigation over claims the glitch makes it possible to manually open each

new sample bottles the revelations are likely to raise concerns over the integrity of the testing system peter oliver has more. now what's come out from a laboratory in cologne in germany is that when these particular bottles of the supposed to be impossible to open without the correct tools are frozen well they become quite easy to open why is that important you may ask well the whole reason is that when it's athlete gives a sample that actually gives two samples they given a sample in a base sample the a samples are tested immediately the base samples are frozen and nuts used to either back up the findings of the a sample or to cast doubt over whether it was a false positive or not what this resulted in is an investigation by the world anti-doping agency into just how valid these b. samples are and they're also investigating the company. the swiss manufacturer that makes these bottles that are supposed to be possible to open well it's interesting

that these bottles although we've only been in place since since september of last year the same company that made the bottles that were used in sochi back in twenty fourteen and those bottles of course that were at the very heart of all of the scandal surrounding russia in the olympics and the bombs that have been handed out for doping. a ban on the russian paralympic team was first imposed back in two thousand and sixteen when it was barred from the rio games just weeks before the competition got underway don of looks back at how that scandal unfolded. all of them have a disability but each and every one of them have proven themselves very able they spent years defying the odds training for the rio twenty sixteen paralympics they had a dream but what they got instead was reality. delivered from the word year. to the new do more time totals war in the. world

to. believe in all. my using with no or yes lois even if. you will abide still post but it is all that many of them had there in your skull stormiest psystar know but only when there's a. guidebook. these people are cheats apparently by the standards of the international paralympic committee at least weeks before the games in brazil the whole russian team was hit with a blanket ban not a single athlete allowed to participate the decision was based on a report its evidence and key witness still suspicious to those named and shamed the mclaren investigation accused russia of running a labrador open scheme orchestrated by the kremlin store brass according to the

report a key russian lab routinely swapped dirty samples for clean ones resealing the bottles how did the russians do it a lot of people would love to hear mclaren's take on this mclaren says his word is evidence enough i've seen it i've seen it done in i've instructed it and it can be done it can be reinserted we don't know how the russians did it but we know they can be done the report revolves around the eyewitness account of grigori watching of he is the former head of moscow's anti doping lab and says he was one of the cogs in the doping conspiracy in russia he's a want. man facing charges for destroying doping samples and abusing authority this is a clear violation of the burden of proof and assumption of innocence it's a ticklish and legally not acceptable in doping cases it is a well established rule you'll have to prove as

a doping agency that for ninety nine point nine percent somebody has doped mclaren report is not proven enough to make a collective ban on all athletes there must be something else and d. cells is politics presumption of innocence out of the window guilty by association these people have been stripped of everything their flag national anthem and colors. we care about how the russians completing it until they got it the right policy but sure they are a clean nation never mind cleaned out they are to be a clean nation in the wake of the scandal russia admitted to having a doping problem and has since tightened the legal screws only a handful of countries across europe consider doping a criminal offense russia now does yet the paralympic committees decision has been

to ban and those guilty by association good sports capital punishment it has done of r.t. . islamic state says that it carried out an attack on a military academy in the afghan capital kabul killing eleven servicemen and injuring sixteen local journalists but also our reports from the ground. there were five suicide attackers two of them killed by afghan national security forces and another two of them detonated their explosives and one of them was detained said jacket a rocket propelled grenade in four a k forty seven s were seized the target almost to about four hours residents in that area afforded hearing loud explosions there was the use of having small weapons so the fact that these militant groups can really strike a world in target these key military institutions as well as. security areas in

kabul remains a serious source of concern for people living here in kabul today's attack. deadly one for the afghan national security forces remember they were killed not on the front line somewhere in some remote district or in a province where this is every day fighting i think that alone tells you that cities including kabul is becoming another. front in the afghan government just continues to struggle to prevent these militants from carrying out these attacks. on the country seen a wave of deadly terrorist attacks of late two three of them in just the past ten days.
