. - reagan and gorbachev began to reverse the buildup in nuclear weapons. today, the united states and the russian federation still deploy 95% of the world's nuclear weapons, but in terms of overall numbers, there's substantially fewer now than there were at the height of the cold war in the 1970s and 80s. (rocket rumbles) - [narrator] today there are nine nations with a total of 15,000 deployed nuclear weapons. that's down from a cold war height of approximately 70,000 weapons. - the most powerful nuclear weapon that the united states ever deployed was the b41 nuclear warhead, which had 25 megatons of explosive power, 25 million tons of tnt. now to put that in perspective, during the entirety of world war ii, the united states dropped less than 4 million tons of tnt on both germany and japan. (piano music) the most powerful nuclear weapon in the us arsenal today has about 1.2 megatons of explosive power, 1.2 million tons of tnt, which is still 80 times the explosive power of the bomb that was dropped on hiroshima in august 1945. - as they grew more powerfu

i thought at this point, when we were into a process of rapprochement across europe, gorbachev and aan home, maybe that was the time for the organisation of security and corporation in europe to take over, sadly, that didn't happen. i think the role of nato now has to be to build good relations with the neighbours and insist on democracy and human rights being part of that agenda of good relations. but it was only three years ago that you called it a very dangerous frankenstein and a danger to world peace. do you still believe that or not? i want to work within nato to achieve stability. i want to work within nato to promote human rights and democracy, and under a labour government, that's exactly what we'd be doing. but do you think it's a frankenstein? i think all organisations need to be accountable. so have you changed your views on nato? no. so you still think... can i finish my sentence, please? you could if you answered my question. andrew, nato exists. it was a product initially of the atlantic charter “119112... we know the history, mr corbyn, but i'm trying to work out if y

famously, ronald reagan while he got along with mikhail gorbachev, the two wives did not, and much isoverstress that? i mean, i have no idea here what the case is, but what do you make of that? >> i think personal relationships can have a big impact, and and if you read all of henry kissinger's books, you see how impactful they can be. we are human beings, and sometimes finish especially french history, napoleon iii, the stories of his personal differences explain the french economy. sometimes personal relationships have a lot bigger role to play than people think. i mean, that's the backbone behind the monroe doctrine. sorry for me to go so far back, but mariah monroe wanted to get married, and she didn't want the diplomats at her wedding. so personal experiences and the wives and the kids, they can, indeed, impact history. neil: much was made of the time of anwar sadat and begin, how they grew close to jimmy carter, they soured after the famous peace agreement, of course, after the assassination years later of anwar sadat himself. you strike while the iron's hot, right? >> yeah, tha

have you ever seen his interview with mikhail gorbachev?od russian. and suddenly the conversation breaks into an old folk song in russian, and steve gets out from the table, goes over to the piano and starts playing it. and gorbachevjoins in! standing there with his arm on the piano, and they start singing together. if you have not seen it, go and look on the bbc website because it is there somewhere. do you think i could try that with donald trump and you could try it with trees are made? —— theresa may. iam tone with trees are made? —— theresa may. i am tone deaf, though, so you really do not want to be singing anywhere near this programme unless you want to totally kill the ratings! i love that, though, i tuned in last year and they get com pletely tuned in last year and they get completely addicted to it. thousands of people watching that facebook. rather him than me, is all i can say. how does he know all of that stuff? isn't he busy? he will have to learn a new song again in the next few weeks. and put it to memory. i will have to pul

gorbachev, tear down this wall.: well the man who actually wrote those lines joins us now, former ronald reagan speech writer joining us from stanford, california. peter, let's get out of the way, first of all, trump is no reagan, we understand that, we get that, but trump has done particularly on this trip, and not only what he said in europe, but for what he said to the arab leaders, drive them out. drive them out. these terrorists in your midst, drive them out, these purveyors of death. we have this assumption this is something that we have to live with. that terrorism will be with us forever. this president is saying, not so. we can end the terrorist threat, the terrorist crisis we've been in. much like ronald reagan said we don't have to live with the cold war, we can win it. to which you say? >> to which i say, the parallel is precisely correct, david. there's a marvellous moment, 1977, i believe it was, when the president was going over foreign policy matters. he was between serving as governor and had not ye

gorbachev and the soviet union. mr. brzezinski: i think one has to differentiate between mr. theachev the person and face of the policies he's promoting. he certainly is a very intelligent person. i've had the opportunity of meeting him. ,e makes a very good impression certainly better than any of his predecessors. that clearly explains why he is so attractive because he stands in such contrast to those who preceded him. his policies, which are based on meaning overords overtness andg there has been talking and ventilating issues more openly the mayor have. but reforming the system has proven to be very difficult. my own expectation is that he will not succeed in creating a spontaneously self energizing, increasingly pluralistic, generally open soviet union. there are too many inbuilt contradictions and legacies of the past within the soviet system to make that kind of success for his policies possible. his major historic significance will be that he has dismantled stalinism, probably not , and that heninism will have initiated a protracted systemic crisis and the soviet unio

the deal that was made in 1990 at the end of the cold war, when the first bush administration and gorbachev return for the now russia, formerly soviets accepting the idea that reunified germany would join nato, that the agreement was nato would not expand one inch further to the east. and now we're right at russia's border. >> wait. >> that agreement came later. there was no agreement initially when the cold war ended. >> it was by 1991 there was an agreement, though, in that first year. >> there was. i mean, look, let's be clear. nato took advantage of the weakness of the post-soviet -- i'm just going to -- it's extremely controversial. i'll editorialize for a moment. but here's an important point to all of this. on top of the nato thing, so there's anyway to too but nato is just one institution. the sort of through line here is the sort of skepticism of all multi-lateral agreements. >> and trade. >> all of the things that might bind countries to other countries is suspect. there's a scoop that trump is telling confidants that the u.s. will quit the paris climate deal. it's like the invers

gorbachev, tear down this wall! >> but reagan was elected, you know, sure to increase defense spending. but he was elected principally on an argument that government should be shrunk. that welfare should be transformed. that the budget should be balanced. that he was going to be a conservative in the white house. and that was going to be -- that was his ticket to victory. so he wanted to be a president that focused on domestic affairs as well. and of course the contrast with the carter years was dramatic. and reagan wanted to say i can do much better than jimmy carter on the homefront. well, in fact, he sat out a goal at the beginning to try to end the wold war, build up defense spending enormously. build up nuclear weapons and he did all those things and those are the things that defined his presidency in many ways. >> but i promise you as our president i will raise the bar. i will insist upon accountability systems that refuse to leave children behind. we'll put in place programs that will say in head start we're

ross perot was on the same trip to go and meet gorbachev. you have this active according to being done of the potential american oligarchs who might have needed some russian financing, who might have been open to hearing about a more open relationship between the united states and russia. so you begin to see this cultivation over time. donald trump really starts to mirror paul manafort in a lot of ways who also did some business with unsavory characters overseas for the money. and michael flynn who was disgruntled and angry and needed the money you. begin to see to be t cultivating of american assets based on their financial need or potential greed. donald trump fits into that pattern just like manafort and flynn do. so it is either a series of incredible coincidences that he and jeff session and paul manafort and page and flynn and all of these guys all have russian contacts and are doing business there it's either a series of incredible coincidences or it is the conspiracy it seems to be. >> it also needs to be said, this goes to the probl

gorbachev, tear down that wall, i don't know if he really thought it was going to happen. authoritarian regimes are brittle. and putin is right now in a position to rule because there is no organized opposition to him and he's making sure of th that. but two weeks ago people flooded into the streets of moscow to protest corruption. still, online bloggers are protesting government action. so there is something slightly alive underneath. another thing is the russian people are different than they were in the soviet union. when i first went to moscow as a graduate student in 1979, russians looked at their feet. they never looked at you. now they travel and send their kid to study abroad. they study them even middle-class, this boy all day l their children at toys "r" us. somewhere along here, someone might emerge to be a focal point for that constituency. before we get too carried away, the other potential opposition could come from the hard right because there is an even more ultranationalist, ultra orthodox side that even putin tries to keep under control. so yes, i worry a
