tottenham against arsenal, at white hart lane for the last time. of the moment the last time that they managed to finish of arsenal. but if that was going to be a bad miss. it got worse... spurs, 1a clear of arsenal, continued to dominate and eventually got the reward. and the celebrations only going to get louder. the other element of the duo, he of course followed up. 27 for the season. and it meantan followed up. 27 for the season. and it meant an awful lot. it was an awful afternoon for arsenal, and had it not been for the goalkeeper could have been humiliating. spurs loved it. just too good for their rivals this season. changing landscape, all right. the second half, we got more pressure, and the team had more freedom to get chances, and we played well. i think they deserved the victory. i am happy for the fans, and the players and we will see what happens now. we will try to free ready for the next derby game. it is very disappointing, but the championship, we have not started to finish above spurs, we have started to try to win the champions

no team has won this competition more than arsenal. few fa ns this competition more than arsenal.ccess than theirs. this is the last chance for silverware. that is true for manchester city as well. pep guardiola's side found the best first chance. david silva going first. city got the ball across the line not once but twice here to be crucially, it did not cross the line here as well. the goal was ruled out. city were rightfully annoyed. there was no doubt about their recall when it eventually arrived. sergio aguero finally found the space, finishing as we have all come to expect. but this is a competition that has now taken on an even greater significance. arsenal not only want it but needed. they found a way back. both sides now have a chance to win. yaya toure could not have gotte n chance to win. yaya toure could not have gotten much closer. just moments later, fernandinho saw his effort rebound from the goal. as you would expect, it would take more time to separate them. ultimately it was alexis sanchez that did that. arsenal may yet and their season with success. bbc news. —

that is an arsenal roughly half the size of great britain's. the united states needs to prove to pivotious -- needs to diplomacy to constrain that program and prevent north korea from staying on this current trajectory. host: how do we know what their capabilities are'? guest: it is difficult to ascertain. but there are spy satellites and other forms of intelligence gathering. the level of their arsenal is a matter of testaments -- ofa matter of observations sites that we know to exist and the production rates of weapon-usable material. north korea has the enriched uranium and the plutonium route. attracted with iran, where we whichstained diplomacy led to the iran nuclear deal. that was focused on constraining just an enriched uranium route which had not come to fruition. north korea's program is more mature. there are more moving parts. constraining it will be difficult. but we are left with the bad set of options of either bombing, negotiating, or the military option which israeli really off the table, because it runs the catastrophic risk o

they're replacing all of the nuclear weapons in the arsenal, right? every delivery system, there's a program to replace it. and we're adding missile defenses, and we're adding conventional strike capabilities. we have this huge change. the chinese have the same thing happening. i don't think either side has thought through very carefully what the modernization means. it's just replacing old stuff with new stuff. it's almost an unconscious arms race where both sides are modernizing, mostly driven by technology but with kind of an eye on the other one. well, i don't want it to become a deliberate arms race. kimball: well, the united states and china have a common problem, and that is north korea. north korea has accelerated the pace of missile testing, and it continues to conduct nuclear test explosions. in the coming years, north korea could have an operational nuclear arsenal that could strike japan, south korea, china, perhaps the united states if it's allowed to conduct tests of intercontinental-range ballistic missiles. so for the united states and

but he agrees it is possible to leave untouched nuclear arsenals of france and england.at is what really stunned me at the time when i was in reykjavÍk and later. why would the soviets decide they would accept to have no nuclear missiles of their own, yet still allow france, not been fully a member of the nato military alliance, but still a western power, and especially britain, the heart of nato to have their own nuclear missiles, which would undoubtedly be trained on the soviet union still? why would gorbachev even consider something like that, and when he brought that back to his political bureau? guillaume: that is a great point. the bureau took that before reagan, and they had the counter to that including the british and french nuclear arsenal. they prepared that in advance. he knew he had the support. i think there is two things there. first of all, that 10 years process of getting rid of nuclear weapons on both sides, it is a slow, very methodical process. reagan wanted to be trusted and verified. so the soviets and americans already had a decent method, the salt

we gave up our arsenal two years ago. we had them, we wouldn't use them, and we have never used our chemical arsenal in our history. so what happened? as i said, the only source is al-qaeda. we cannot take it seriously, but our impression is that the west, mainly the united states, is hand in glove with the terrorists. the fabricated the whole story in order to have a pretext for the attack. it wasn't an attack because of the attack in khan sheikhoun. it is one event. it is stage one — the play, that we saw on social media and on tv, the propaganda. and the second stage, the military attack. that is what we believe is happening, because it is only a few days — two days, 48 hours — between the play and the attacks, and there have been no investigations, no concrete evidence about anything. the only thing were allegations and propaganda, and then the strike. so who, according to you, is responsible for this alleged chemical attack? the allegation itself... by al-qaeda, and the al—nusra front, so we don't have to investigate
