that a to the conclusion nuclear weapon is a nuclear weapon. we also had a great deal of success in 1983, that brought brought tactical nukes to brunt. this has been up and down the flagpole several different times. and i think the russians and the americans come to the same conclusion that you said, a nuclear weapon is a nuclear weapon. you cannot control it. >> thank you. today we have talked about a number of hotspots today, europe, the south pacific with china, the middle east, and during this discussion there has been no discussion about the continent of africa, the continent of south america. i'm just curious, in regard to our diplomatic efforts and so forth and the opportunities that are there, i think about it because i know that senator inhofe has made visits to africa, and it seems we are wide open for not only goodwill, but for the creation of cooperative partnerships in both south america and africa. i would like your thoughts in terms of the importance of those two continents and why it is that in the middle of a strategic discussi

a permanent prohibition of iran having a nuclear weapon or weaponization program which is unique. permanent adherence to protocol with a unique time window to respond to iaea inspection requests for undeclared sites. again, unique. and the requirement to ship out all spent fuel for the life of the redesigned iraq reactor, which i remind you, was the heart of the plutonium pathway that caused a lot of consternation. t, we hear that 15 years is,rs and i'm derided at n.t.i. for this, epsilon, compared tthe history of the persian empire. that's a fact. but it's entirely manufactured as an objection to the agreement. 15 years is a significant period in the political life of a country and iran, in fact, is demonstrating that with these widespread protests that shine light on the government's failure to adequately serve the people's needs. the nuclear deal was never meant to be the end of the road in our engagement with iran. we, along with our partners in the jcpoa, should be using this time to build on the agreement to help shape the outcome when the nuclear constraints lift, which so

nuclear weapons are nuclear weapons, and we need to draw the line there. one of the alarming things to me is this notion we can have something called a small nuclear weapon, which i understand the russians are doing, and somehow that is usable. your mind goes to the idea that nuclear weapons become usable, and then we are really in trouble, because a big nuclear exchange can wipe out the world. i have a great friend in san francisco, the retired episcopal bishop of california, and he started something terrific called united religions initiative. he made a statement about a year ago. i tried to get him to publish it, but he would not do it. he said when you put your hand on the bible and swear to be president of the united states, that is the least of it. when you put your hand on the nuclear button and you can start something that might kill a million people, you are not president anymore. you are god. and who are we to say we are god? these weapons are immoral, as president reagan said many times. and we need to get rid of them. personally, i think the wa

weapons against his own people. is there really any proof that . it no is there the facts that came out regarding the famous incident in outer damascus in twenty thirteen ultimately showed that the atrocity was carried out by one of the opposition groups with support from turkey so the fact that actually the quick accusations against the syrian government there were later like you want to be well sent numerous invent investigators including the american seymour hersch came to came to that conclusion that it was not wrong and the syrian government so when serious investigations are done which does take time which takes on the ground. you know examination of the facts are not just rowing on the agents who are actually paid by the west the facts show on bet it in past cases it's been the armed opposition they have a motive for doing this of course which is to direct the u.s. and nato into the conflict do you think that this long running the blame game over the chemical weapons and the investigation there is holding bac

comparable weapons for the terrorist? what do you think about that? >> let me repeat those four orders of magnitude because they have to be remembered it is still a nuclear weapon number one. and i think the test is i don't know what is in the npr but if there is something in that direction then i hope using sufficient analysis as to why this contributes to stability or reduces the possibility of use, i have not seen that argument made convincingly. we have a deterrent there are many ways to reposition my answer is i am open to hearing what i have not yet heard to convince me that is a viable path. >> traditionally we said we don't want to build a warhead but what happens if we think our opponent is building a warhead? so we need to see that proposal. >> it has to be made very clear a deterrent against the use of any nuclear weapon from our allies. >> my failings may be did not appreciate this before but that verification agreement is eternal. that is interesting could you amplify on that? >> certainly there is a layered

stop the world wide spread of nuclear weapons and will humanity ever get rid of them. chanting down apollo the forward united nations undersecretary for disarmament affairs welcome to the show it's great to have you with us. ambassador would talk a lot about nuclear weapons and north korea that's constantly in the news pakistan about iran but right now in asia china is seeking to build a missile defense against a potential nuclear strike from india and with some border tensions between the two asian giants i mean is south than is deja going to be where the next big missile race will take place i do keep your story to be as serious as it is made out to be by some newspapers but certainly the potential well short on between. india and china is there because there are more nuclear weapon on to countries perhaps not to the same level that they have been at in the case of iraq where the theater of war has been present in international relations in the cold war era so we have really the nine nuclear weapon states five of them recognized by the nuclear nonproliferation treaty

and callous other syrian parted with chemical weapons. russia is a key ally all assets government on has regularly blocked u. n. vetoes demanding action against his regime. now the united states is looking for alternative approaches. in p paris tennyson and his french counterpart announced a new organization that will identify and punish anyone found to have used chemical weapons. the whole missiles result. all information about the architects of chemical attacks will be made available. traders face the consequences of their actions. the owner told us so. we planted contributed case filed against the perpetrators of such attack. viewed for prosecution of youtube post duriring the meeting for on also announced that it will sanction twenty four people and companiess l links to syria's chemical weapons program. and is running moon is a former british army came on to and and advises ngos in syria and then he told me that the world must do more to stop the chemical weapons attacks in syria. the use of weapons etcetera sense of the mind of the

so more than seventy percent of all weapons manufactured worldwide and they're all permanent members of the un security council the world body that's charged with maintaining international peace and security at least a quarter of conventional weapons sales to the middle east. north africa and the human cost two point two million people killed in conflicts worldwide since the end of the cold war in one nine hundred eighty nine so which companies are making the big bucks in the global arms trade will of the top ten defense companies by sale seven of them are based in the united states lockheed martin is number one with forty one billion dollars worth of sales in twenty sixteen three our european air bus group b. a systems and leonardo in italy much to discuss on today's program let's bring in our guests right now joining us from london lloyd russell moyle who's a u.k. member of parliament and with the opposition labor party from lancaster via skype tim ripley an independent defense and security analyst and also in london is ben morris a senior defense davey asian analyst with i.h.s. ja

s all of our land based nuclear weapons we still have the nuclear weapons in the planes and the submarines so a huge driver of this is the pentagon into secure complex that you know people contractors are going to make money off of producing a nuclear weapons there are u.s. military bases that would close in you know wyoming now would close we got rid of our land based i.c.b.m.'s to then create parochial interests there are pushing these things there are not something that is not in the interest of the world it's not in the interest the majority of people in united states what about other countries do you think that this report could prompt other countries to follow suit . i hope other countries won't be so stupid as to take the big because the same thing is true in russia and china that's true in the united states that every you know every billion dollars that has spent their nuclear weapons is the first problem education and health care and medical advances and roads and things that. people need we can't eat nuclear weapons we can't educate ourselves or don't care whether it's it's a rip

secretary of state rex tillerson really set the tone at this launch of this new anti chemical weapons group here in paris when he said that those who use chemical weapons are carrying out crimes against humanity and that they must not go unpunished well they were ministers here for more than thirty countries and what they said that they would do is work harder to stop the use of chemical weapons to share intelligence on the matter to try and gather evidence of chemical weapons attacks all with the goal of trying to prosecute those who do carry out such atrocities now of course the focus here was very much on syria the syrian regime has been accused by the united nations of carrying out several attacks over the past few years and we spoke to the u.n. director in new york of human rights watch and what he told us was that while this french initiative is of course very welcome what is really needed is a full investigation by the u.n. security council we shouldn't let the security council get off easy the russians have used their veto eleven times since the war started in syria in two tho

industry how many of those american weapons are going to eventually end up in the wrong hands. i think that it's a fallacy to believe that somehow you know aircraft have tens of thousands of components and you need them all to be able to fly you can't hide them you can't simply parties on to third parties and some you know it's not like you know boxes in the back of a crate you need suppliers to be able to provide you with the components just look at the iranians in the iran iraq war and it's it's you know when you start getting up to the major systems which is the bulk of the market in dollar terms i mean what i mean ninety percent plus. you simply can't conceal that sort of that that's under the market right lloyd do you want to comment on that i mean does that make everything ok then the britain is only selling big weapons systems well two points to make first of all i totally agree it's a very small arms sales in terms of british exports is very small that is a reason to stop treating it like it was a major industry that needs protecting and start treating it like the paria

there are other states that possess nuclear weapons that are not recognized as nuclear weapon states. i think that, de facto, they are a state with nuclear weapons. we all know that. but we are not going to give china and russia and anybody else are going to give north korea the special privileges conferred by the nuclear nonproliferation treaty. that the current recognized states do. so on south korean attitudes -- first of all, you're absolutely right. south korea does have the greatest equities involved here. as our colleague jonathan pollack likes to say, this is the korean peninsula. but mostly importantly there is a widespread assumption in policy making circles in various countries that if the united states or south korea were to take overly aggressive action against north korea, then it would lead to unacceptable retaliation by north korea against the republic of south korea. and the capital city, seoul, is just about on the front lines. so south korean views have a presumptive value. second, political trends in south korea are important here as well. we had conservative presi

jong un has blocked the weapon and has been able to guess if milicic misael capability. waning as far as merely united states is that certain maybe he will act middle grade a sense of responsibility i think we need to bear that in mind. force it's something that we should not accept it because it is a violation of the n.p.t. and security council resolutions but formally accepting maybe a defacto acceptance is the only choice rather than to attack libya gave it feels all consequences and unpredictable consequences so it was it didn't matter that you have to say because they're not great power and knowledge rate power countries like north korea or pakistan with nuclear capabilities or even israel need nukes as a guarantor against invasion and they will never give up as long as they fail there is danger to their security how do we deal with that and how he will make them give up their security guarantees i think the deceit be a way joints oration agreement with iran which was negotiated by the europeans last the united states is an excellent example but unfortunately mr tru

weapon.they are developing. we probably have a better deterrent. >>paul: on the refurbishment front, i know you cut a deal with president obama when he was trying to get the senate to approve his arms control treaty with russia. that deal, i can't remember exactly the figure, i think it was tens of billions of dollars to upgrade our nuclear arsenal. did the obama and administration follow-through and is it enough? >> more or less and not quite. the administration did request the appropriate amount of money the review had called for. later, they sloughed off and frankly congress didn't do its job either. so we are short. we haven't spent as much is this modernization plan called for. the good news is there is a consensus in washington on this modernization plan. both with regard to the nuclear weapons themselves and their delivery systems called the triad. submarines, bomber fleets and icbms. whether that's enough in the long run i'm not sure. at least there is consensus on what we need to get

possible to develop and use chemical weapons while i'm working on british leaders are there envoys to the united nations they repeated the same old saw the syrian regime has repeatedly used chemical weapons against its own people the syrian regime have repeatedly used chemical weapons in syria regrettably it has been russia that has gone to great lengths to prevent the assad regime from being held accountable of course the u.s. and british envoys were referring to the. last april while people will remember that in the aftermath of the tick tock we heard u.s. leaders immediately blaming the syrian government. yesterday morning. we awoke to pictures to children of beautiful little babies being carried in the arms of desperate parents these haters actions by the assad regime. it cannot be tolerated later we heard about how the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons for the joint investigative lock and. began investigating it talking about the report but throughout the investigation at no point did the really look at the site of a chemical a talking consul current and this h

weapons of mass destruction on nuclear weapons and not on conventional weapons i think that's a very legitimate concern however i don't think that this strategy is cracked i think what we could do is show the iranians that we're honoring a deal in the nuclear space and then that would create an incentive for them to come to the table to potentially come up with a second deal to talk about the threat intercontinental ballistic missiles and i think that's really a broader regional concern and that's an opportunity that's potentially going to be passed by. the united nations says syrian forces have stepped up fighting in the rebel enclaves warning these deliberate attacks on civilians could be considered a war crime speaking on his first visit to syria the un's humanitarian chief says he's deeply worried about civilians and east and more than eighty five civilians have been killed since the beginning of the year and a hoax as more. this has become the norm in eastern good. day to civilian casualties as the syrian government steps up its attacks and flushing out rebels in the damascus. w
