20 years, russia and the united states have moved very far away from each other in their understanding of strategic stability. without discussing the issue head-on. for example, united states no longer considers territorial defense, ballistic missile defense as destabilizing. russia does not consider new liquid fuel at the missile as destabilizing. united states does not consider boost glide precision guided as destabilizing. russia does not consider air defense which it is developing as destabilizing. but we are not discussing this issue. after the successful conclusion of new s.t.a.r.t. treaty, we have been talking on the issues of nuclear did terrence and the future -- nuclear deterrence. i think this is a very serious problem. the treaties that rose and their russian counterparts concluded in 2010 was probably the last concluded on the basis of the old paradigm. in the future the problem of moving forward with strategic nuclear arms reduction is not confined to the issues within the balance of offense of nuclear forces. i would say that this is the least of our problems. if we were discussing a vacuum it would be very easy to go for a new treaty, giving

changing and apparently russia and the united states have moved far away from each other with strategic stability without discussing the issue head-on. for example states never considers territorial defense and russia does not consider new liquid fuel as destabilizing. the headed states government considers precision guided conventional systems but russia does not consider spee levin as destabilizing but with the new s.t.a.r.t. treaty we have been talking to each other on the issues into the future of arms control. . . >> giving the ceiling down to 1000 or below. however, the main problems a line and adjacent areas. will be serious issue, very difficult issue to resolve. ballistic missile defense. conventional precision guided missiles. tactical nuclear weapons. third nuclear weapons states, whether we should count them. whether we should take them into account. all those issues will be agenda of the future. and i think to start talking about it we have to start, and i'm using the opportunity of rows, for a well-known expert being here, to start talking with russian counterparts about new understanding of strategic stability. we have to develop

in a number of the industrialized countries-- and the united states is perhaps the best example-- we've had tremendous success in controlling tuberculosis and did so up until the sort of mid-1980s, and then, due to a number of factors-- some complacency, declining resources directed at tuberculosis and other illnesses we assumed were going to disappear, lack of sort of attention by the public health community-- tuberculosis came back, and came back somewhat slowly, subtly, until we realized we had a serious problem. we were victims of our own success. we had all these wonderful antibiotics, we had wonderful, very safe and effective vaccines that took care of polio and that got rid of smallpox and that largely got rid of measles, and there sort of became a perception that, why do we need to spend all this money? why do we need to have all these people to take care of problems that don't exist anymore? and so the resources got shifted away, both out of health-- but within public health, into other areas of public health. this was the period when the chronic disease activities were picking

united states is that we have this wonderful system. people come in, sometimes called but oftentimes they stay for a while. they invented things, start new companies. so that's a great example of one of the reasons why we are very hopeful about her future. >> -- about our future. >> good evening. i was wondering if you'd comment on the font that developed countries, united states, europe and so forth, japan, are now in a position where they are going to have lower growth on average than developing or emerging economies because of increased energy cost, othe costs and oths as well, and was easy to a sort of a permanent feature of the world economy where the developed countries are just going to be growing more slowly and the emerging economies are taking an increasing share of world production, et cetera spend that's a great question. the shorter answer is, for fundamental reasons that emerging economies are still catching up, this process has turned red, it made these reforms. they will continue to grow more quickly than advanced nations for some time, if we're lucky by the way. as they continue down the right path. but the great news is we can all win. so fast growth in th
