then i would take a very negative view of it because that's against a policy of bin peace but my view of the slow motion picture that we did is that it's it's not as you presented but i'm afraid i'm a in a studio way i don't see your version of that according to what israel be part of the avodah is that they would be brought up in the courtroom now let's move away from the piracy charges i know about that there has been a lot of discussion and i have to say that some lawyers say i say that this particular incident of ramming the calls are both is what constituted cyrus about our obviously it could be debated now what about other charges that could be brought against your colleagues because some suggested that there could be a charges of hooliganism which also carries a prison sentence in russia there could be charges of trast passing that could be brought up against your colleagues what do you think about those charges and if your colleagues are found guilty of those charges will you accept that in stride will you agree that some of the laws have been violated firstly i might show wit

a fine idea, but the idea of nobel was to give the prize not for peace but the champions of peace.nd who did he have in mind? that was those who work not for removing one weapon or another weapon or limited measure. he was for an all-out abolishment of all weapons in all nations, and i think it's right. you cannot really achieve durable peace as long as there are so many weapons around, and so it's the whole international system that needs to be changed. that was nobel's idea, it was valid in 1895 and it is much more valid today. it it's imperative in today's world. >> does awarding a prize like this to the opcw actually do any arm, though? >> no, it does don't any harm, but if the nobel peace prize had been used to its full potential, namely, creating international cooperation on abolishing the military system, and the military industrial complex, not in other countries, all countries, in your own country and all countries. that is in the interest of every person in every nation of the world, and then it would do a lot of good to the development of the -- democracy to improving th
