there are weapons there there probably. there is this huge fights that are happening in surrounding it all they need was there the. flight data proves that the majority of these companies planes from reoccur go to keep u.s. bases in the middle east. from their weapons can be funneled to syria. this ng the largest pentagon supply of weapons for syrian rebels is bulgaria through the e.u. use poorest country that's a change in food. bill gary as arms factories fell quiet after the end of the cold war but the wars in iraq afghanistan and syria brought new demand. factories where we opened a new production lines added to supply weapons to the world's most fragile regions . we have come to bulgaria to find out more about the weapons the us government buys for its syrian allies. what is home to state arms manufacturers that. it is also where france is no we was killed in june twenty fifteen. v.m.s. that has been struggling to modernize and not fatal accident wasn't its first incident. a series of explosions rocked one of the compa

really wield that much power or are they like nuclear weapons and chemical weapons. well they are like nuclear weapons again to weapons is that they have the potential to write large numbers of people they allow us to industrialize to work on a scale that only if you have the weapons all things like it weapons and weapons and they had one important characteristic they will be much cheaper than you can when it's much more widely available much. that's why it is. the opportunity now to try and take action before they do become that widely available ok you're talking about taking action but can you even keep these types of weapons out of the hands of non-state actors you know rich individuals for example. yes i think you can add to the good example there is chemical weapons we've decided that it's morally unacceptable to use chemical weapons out of arms. and that's what we need to achieve a we need to decide collectively globally is normally an extent. decided it's one who dies and then manufacture them and then they won't be widely available and when they do occasional

what do we know about that, the chemical weapons program or biological weapons program?do we know much? >> you will recall also that four main statutes are sanctions legislation passed by congress, termination provision that statutory sanctions will only be terminated permanently when iran permanently dismantles its nuclear, chemical, biological programs. is that speculative? do we know much in the public domain about those other programs? >> i was struck by that sentence actually. an iranian chemical weapons program. the us can't certify iran's obligations under convention but he or she is talking about one of the problems is it didn't address iran's other wmd programs. now she believes that iran has other wmd programs. it appears with regard to chemical weapons to be perhaps a little bit of a change from the compliance report that her own team issued in march 2018. it will be interesting to probe and see was this a significant statement, was an indication something is going on, new information about chemical and biological weapons program or was it just something we ar

crude chemical weapons maybe the. girl as the islamic fighters can use anything better than that like binary weapons you start having to suspect that the syrians did it so you know there's not a false flag operation is not the question but you also have to say are the syrians using chemical weapons and i hand for some reason i'm not sure why that's a triggering event for the u.s. i really shouldn't be because of the conventional weapons of probably killed like ninety eight percent of the casualties in syria in chemical weapons of only kill about two percent so although you do have a chemical weapons treaty and i guess there's some intent to try to enforce that but it seems like the united states should probably just stay out of the whole thing indeed and you mentioned chemical weapons there which is obviously a concern by all sides the use of chemical weapons literally by damascus allegedly by some of the terrorist groups as well i mean do you think it will be in damascus as interest to use chemical weapons now potent

he would then buy maybe a dozen weapons.apons to smuggle in more modern, illegal revolvers. unless you're an expert it's hard to tell new guns from old ones. he was describing these particular weapons as an older model. and he was also describing them as chambered in the obsolete calibre. and he was also declaring that all of them were over a 100 years old from the date of import. the court heard that edmunds' guns and ammunition were used in at least three murders. he was sentenced to 30 years. surdhar, who sold the guns on, got 1a years. the national ballistics intelligence service wants the antique revolvers most often used in crime made illegal. they're easy to purchase they don't fall under the licensing, if they're possessed as an antique or curio. and we know that offenders are quoting that loophole in the legislation at police officers when they're stopped and searched. and in terms of that loophole, how easy is it going to be to close that loophole? 0bsolete calibres we think should be removed from the list so that

it's full of weapons.are legal to own because they're deep beneath the streets of birmingham is a police strong—room. it's full of weapons. these handguns are legal to own because they're classified as antiques. they were seized by dc phil rodgers. they've been linked to more than 100 crime scenes and a number of murders. i mean, there's just weapons galore here. you've got boxes and boxes. so, what have we got here? this here weapon is a .44 russian revolver. it fires and works like a modern revolver. the only reason that it's an antique is because of the calibre which is .44 russian. the calibre of a weapon is determined by the size of the ammunition it fires. it's quite a weight on that. the uk has strict gun laws. but these antique weapons are legal to own. they're so old, ammunition isn't made for them anymore, so the government classifies them as obsolete calibre. but there's a problem — ammunition can be homemade. unless you're a prohibited person and have a criminal convictions anyone can buy these

if they use nuclear weapons and is very realistic. it's going to cause so much radiation issues not only was in those korea south korea china and russia too they're all. in the original question was that japan always enjoyed america's protection because we don't have the military security system in place to protect your country now that trump is saying that you should rely more on your own resources do you think japan needs an actual army and actual security system in place. i don't say we don't have at all we have a conventional defense system to certain extent and we're partnering with states my view for example you know. nuclear deterrence against north korea we may have. meant we could be out. to change. the rules on the balance right so there could be a new balance in new. thinking or a security. system i just have to question that sensitive issue you know nice perception. of japan in general so the american president has a visit here ashima but do you see a situation where a japanese prime minister for instance visits non-german

a fierce resistance to nuclear weapons means disrupting the dominant narratives about nuclear weapons as tools of safety and security and peace these are all well and descriptions of the most terrific weapon ever invented need to be challenged i dismantled conversation academic literature op beds and letters to the editor and public debate. i agree but i'm not sure who views nukes as tools of safety security and peace especially with this guy running the show as part of our trench we must modernize and rebuild our nuclear arsenal i hope. that you see the looks on the faces of all the generals every else was blindly clapping but they were like oh my god this madman is going to make this new your up we just know it great we're going to go down as being the generals who follow the order to take out the f. of italy we are so in the history books presidents clinton and obama both made deals to invest billions in a nuclear weapon complex in exchange for the ratify. he should have treaties that were supposed to limit the testing and deployment of u.s. nuclear weapons swiller alert the united

but weapon producers like the u.s. china russia they're not signing any band can you change their minds. hopefully we can but we need more support from countries where there is i think. concert consensus. and there must be a minit what human control over the use of ports. and over the critical functions of weapon but currently there are only twenty six countries for a ban but most countries and that does get want to negotiate on a new legal instrument ok that's all going well but is it even possible to ban this technology experts are warning that consumer products every day products can be used for a man attacks that non-state actors can use cheap ai technology for the kind of drones my eight year old place with. so so we're not against technology. on a local level you know so impatient so what we want is not these technology must be controlled when it comes to use was weapons and this is support for us and i think of course there's a countries which are very interested and these weapons use them want to keep them and

autonomous weapon system is a weapon that can make a decision about a kill without a human necessarily being involved in that equation that weapon cahill by itself but so that the controversial technology that is being debated is lethal autonomous weapon systems and the function that is most controversial got the critical functions which means engaging selecting a target and engaging in a target meaning finding somebody and killing somebody just make it bluntly and so actually just interject they're going to be situations where humans may be killed because the system is doing its job working i was going to majority for print so for example there's talking about if there's a human in the radar station they would die if it struck or if it is programmed to recognize a tank as a russian style tank in the field of battle but it is a target there are humans in the tank and they could die so there's a sort of these gradations along the way it's not just wind you know human identify them kill them so this definition when you're not you're out when you're talking about the greedy actions i hear

germany's armed forces already make use of semi autonomous weapons base add offenses to can seek out targets on its own. for now soldiers still have to give the order to fire but fully autonomous weapons are being developed they can select and attack targets without humans at the controls. they're highly controversial supporters say the new weapons are needed in modern warfare and will help people make ethically responsible decisions. warfare is becoming so fast right now that human beings are not capable of making intelligent informed decisions like they could in the past shouldn't have voiced concerns that autonomous weapons could diminish human responsibility in war we don't want to have happen is robotic systems out there causes some kind of mass casualty event and we know humans if all. these activists in berlin are protesting against autonomous weapons they want the german government to campaign for them to be banned worldwide . what's dangerous about artificial intelligence and robotics is that they're altogether removed from human decision making about good and evil about wha
