u.k. and france they have their austin olsen are also nato members could russia become vulnerable with this treaty in effect. no i mean with fifty one hundred fifty strategic nuclear weapons russia has more than enough to deter anyone and has a more than enough nuclear capability to destroy the world many times over you know i think what we're going to the i think the future of arms control talks will now the u.s. and russia have to sit down and. look to find further ways to reduce and at some point there's going to have to be a larger discussion that includes the u.k. france as well as china and other nuclear countries such as india and pakistan to begin to multilateral the reduce nuclear weapons we're not there yet because the level of the arsenals between us and russia are so large and also you know russia's relationship with nato. a shooting increasingly improved that the united states and russia are have are now at peace in our improving relations and i think there is a hope that the next stage of the reset can begin to improve relations with nato countries as well in russia already ha

system that's being considered the moment by the russian authorities the one which we see in the u.k. france australia for example do you think those systems are outdated and don't actually work is that wise being addressed again in the in the u.s. . well i support the direction we're going with the power of homeland security here in the united states and that is as opposed to having one color for the whole nation and you can specify a particular location and you can specify particular kinds. and you can communicate certain populations of populations the more specific you get in the communication i think the better off we'll be in dealing with the aviation terror threat and the homeland security terrorist threat in general let's concentrate on port security in general though public areas there are examples for example in israel where airport security always appears to be in a state of emergency people are being scanned on approach as they come towards the airport do you think we're going to now see that sort of security intensified throughout the world now because clearly a lesson is going t

u.k. and france they have their arsenals and of course they're also nato members is russia possibly making itself more vulnerable with this new treaty. well that would be. mean nuclear weapons are actually a threat right now to rush in to nato in the united states and we don't see it that way here in washington and there's there's a clear interest in moving past the cold war and security threats are dynamic now we have terrorism in as noted in moscow on monday these these threats coming from a very long arm of. countries outside of nato and outside of europe we don't know the details of that but again these are threats that are dynamic and different from the past so looking at nuclear weapons is the sole threat is one that we should try to move but you can't surely ignore the fact that has been a lot of tension between russia. and europe over the missile defense issue in fact at one stage it looked as if it could have put this new start treaty but now there seems to be an air of compromise is it really a chance that they could be a joint russia nato anti missile shield now for europe as ha

[applause] >> the french conference wraps up with ministers from the u.k., france and italy. they talk about their efforts to rebuild the european economy, decrease debt and restore trust in the markets. this is about 40 minutes. >> thank you very much. thank you for inviting me to come to this very impressive conference for the first time. i wasn't the finance minister a year ago so it is my first opportunity to come and my second visit to paris as the chancellor of the exchecquer. the dialogue between the british and french governments grows and strengthens and we welcomed your president to london recently and your prime minister will be in london next week. i think the fact that we are having this discussion, the fact that we are having the conference and some of my colleagues are here, so many distinguished academics are here shows that france, right from the beginning of this important presidency of the g-20 and g-8 is taking the time and trouble to address the serious questions and challenges that lie ahead. there is an english expression about football which is that fo

said to work and one consistencies more inspections were performed with three european states france the u.k. and germany with the assistance of the usa put pressure on the i am here and report was given to the security council that's not of accord with the decision of the i.a.e.a. and its charter secondly a report as presented to the i.a.e.a. management team in place there is evidence of changing of the nuclear program work for military purposes but in reports presented by the agency over the past eight years there was always a phrase stating that no proof of their iran nuclear program pursuing military aims has been detected and i appeal to dish team viewers to read the reports on the website and then annette iran does not violate any laws and reports should not be presented to the management and thirdly if a state does not let inspectors onto its territory and the reactor stereotype. or interferes with their work the issues you would be the security council i'd like to was with north korea but it's a different situation with iran in iran inspectors did their job and agency director confir

the western world and it provides abundant electricity not only for france but to all its neighbors which we export spain belgium u.k. germany switzerland exports from france to all the neighboring countries why because it's energy here is abundant and it's cheap it's cheaper that's the reason no. when you look to answer down at windmills i agree with myron that windmills the big industrial windmills are just a crazy dead and no solution at all look at the facts if we want to replace just one nuclear reactor vague the e.p.a. our reactor which france is building now on the coast of normandy well you have to line up the giant steel monsters which are the modern windmills all the way from genoa in italy to barcelona in spain all along the french mediterranean coast now this is not environmentally friendly it takes up a lot of space it takes up a lot of building materials and if you take these into consideration as an environmentalist i would like to say that it's absolutely not the solution and the energy is then available only when the sunshine or the wind blows and we need the energy upon demand those to guard amount

general and then director george report to the board of governors however any case of iran even france germany u.k. with the support of the us in fact pushed it politically and they the decided to send this matter to new york it was contradiction with this statute and also i remind you that the care in the cases like for example north korea if the inspectors are not permitted to the conti according to statute then this issue should be to center new york but in the case of iran all live reports of director general for a years the director general has said that we are able to continue our inspection and there is no evidence of diversion because of these reasons and since that is solutions that have passed even by e.u. treaty sais that this. mention was not legally binding and volunteer because of these forty says it is illusions of security ganser have no legal basis we will not implemented your ex and so you know when the listen to two talks to two to. the ocean between iran and the western world i get that impression that it resembles the famous beatle song you remember you say goodbye i say hello

the arrangements in france caught the imagination of the u.k. but unlike to remind this audience what our review said about the u. n.. describes the relationship as deeply rooted, strategically important and mutually supportive. in some ways it is so obvious that it goes without saying but it is important and we don't take the relationship for granted. both the u.k. and the u.s. must continue to be updated for the times. within defense we plan to do more on cyber, war on cd and capacity building and counterproliferation and arms control. unlike to see our as part of an integrated strategy we should work more visibly and aggressively to prevent future conflict. some in britain described it as phase zero operations catching on here. for all of these reasons it is essential before 2020 is compatible with similar forces better than outcomes in the united states. finally a few words. one of the reasons people might think future relationship is taken for granted is because we operate so closely together to date. nowhere is that more apparent than in a

u.k. and how the u.s. uses genetically modified corn as retaliation against france because reporters next . sure this is the cause the report we're on the front line markets and finance there's a global war going on savers versus speculators financial terrorist versus the rest of us and the front line on this markets and finance extends past just banks it also includes companies like mom. symbol m.o.o. new york stock exchange stacey hurt me more yes max kaiser they are in the first headline wiki leaks u.s. ambassador planned retaliation against france over a ban on one santo corey so apparently former ambassador craig stapleton was concerned about france's decision to suspend cultivation of month santo's m o n eight ten corn and warned that a new french environmental review standard could spread anti biotech policy across the e.u. he said quote country team paris recommends that we calibrate a target retaliation list that causes some pain across the e.u. since this is a collective responsibility but that also focuses in part on the worst culprits yeah i want to point this out to folks that

many supported the drive six of the wealthiest nations including france and germany indicated they were reluctant to pour in yet more money u.k. anything nigel for raj says increasing the funds will keep struggling even then this in an economic prison. i think what they're doing here is they're reinforcing failure at the end of the day countries like greece and portugal and ireland and possibly. should never have joined the euro in the first place trapped inside an economic prison with a whole set of policies that. i think the more we build up. the more in effect we're pouring. and this really is a tragedy because these people. you know. we have mass demonstrations we have had people actually killed on the streets. together then the conditions in those countries are going to get worse and what it really is a frank assessment which is there is an argument. with germany and holland and a few countries possibly france as well but there is an optimal. but. for the north and south of europe to be stuck inside a union is never ever going to work but nobody inside these institutions wants to face up to the e.c.b. buying up its debt
