NATO chief: missile pact in danger after Russia talks
(25 Jan 2019) RESTRICTION SUMMARY: AP CLIENTS ONLY
NATO TV - AP CLIENTS ONLY
Brussels - 25 January 2019
1. Exterior of NATO headquarters
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Jens Stoltenberg, NATO secretary-general:
We also addressed the INF treaty, all members of the NATO/Russia council agree that the treaty has been crucial to euro Atlantic security. But the treaty is now in jeopardy, and unfortunately, we have not seen any signs of breakthrough. NATO foreign ministers met on this issue in December and all allies agree that Russia's SSC8 system (cruise missile system) violates the INF treaty.
3. Cutaway of journalist
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Jens Stoltenberg, NATO secretary-general:
There was no real progress in the meeting, because Russia did not indicate any willingness to change their position, but Russia still has an opportunity to come back into compliance and we call on Russia to use that opportunity, and the responsibility to preserve the treaty lies on Russia because Russia is now violating the treaty by developing and deploying new missiles which are in violation of the treaty and these new missiles are hard to detect ,they are mobile ,they are nuclear capable ,they can reach European cities and reduce the warning time and thereby alsothe threshold for any potential of use of nuclear weapons in a conflict.
5. News conference
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Jens Stoltenberg, NATO secretary-general:
Our main focus now is on getting Russia back into compliance, and partly because this is a very serious issue and we have to also look into new initiatives on arms control, all NATO allies, NATO is strongly in favour of arms control, we are in the forefront of arms control efforts, and arms control services all well, it makes us all safer.
7. Journalist
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Jens Stoltenberg, NATO secretary-general:
The question of UAV ballistic target missile which are used to testing ballistic defense interceptors, and these systems not in violation of the INF treaty and Russia continues to raise this issue to deflect tension from the real problem, and that is the new Russian missiles. There are no new US missiles in Europe but there are new Russian missiles in Europe, that is the problem, that is the issue which is now undermining the INF treaty.
9. Exterior of NATO headquarters
10. Close up of flags
STORYLINE:
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg warned Friday that Russia shows no sign of respecting a major Cold War-era missile treaty and that the future of the pact is in danger as the United States readies to start pulling out of it next week.
The treaty is now in jeopardy and unfortunately we have not seen any signs of (a) breakthrough, Stoltenberg told reporters after chairing NATO-Russia talks in Brussels.
The 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty between the United States and the Soviet Union bans production, testing and deployment of land-based cruise and ballistic missiles with a range of 500-5,500 kilometers (310-3,400 miles).
The Pentagon has shared information with NATO allies asserting that Russia's new 9M729 missile system falls within the treaty.
It believes the ground-fired cruise missile could give Moscow the ability to launch a nuclear strike in Europe with little or no notice. Moscow insists the missile has a range of less than 500 kilometers.
In October, President Donald Trump warned that the US would abandon the treaty because of alleged Russian violations.

Annual traditional barge pulling festival
(5 Aug 2019) LEAD IN:
It's not the most common of festivals, but it's certainly one that will take your breath away... especially for the participants.
The Russian city of Rybinsk is celebrating its annual barge hauling festival in which participants from around the world compete for the top prize by pulling heavy wooden boats across the River Volga's shoreline.
STORY-LINE:
Dressed in traditional costume, these barge haulers use all their might to pull a boat to shore.
It's part of an international barge haulers festival, which takes place every year in Rybinsk, a small city along the Volga river, about 300 kilometers from Moscow.
According to Lyubov Glukhova, the festival's organizer, it was only natural that such a festival was born here and became an annual event.
The city of Rybinsk is associated anyway, of course, with barge hauling, she says.
So, the whole history, the Volga coast, the wonderful water area, is all so inspiring that such a festival has become an annual event.
During the festival, participants can feel for themselves what it was like to pull the strap of a barge hauler.
The rules are simple – a team of ten people must pull the boat along the shore for a distance of 100 meters and then back.
The team that does it in the quickest time, gets the winning points.
Aleksandr Korsakov, a judge at the festival, says there's an art to barge hauling, especially if you want to win.
Each team has its tactics, but of course it's better to put the strongest men first, because they bear the whole weight, he says.
Rybinsk proudly bears the title of the Russian capital of barge haulers.
It was here that hundreds of thousands of barge haulers got together, looking for a job and then undertook the heavy task of pulling the barges along the Volga, down to Arkhangelsk or up to St. Petersburg.
One participant, Rybinsk local Igor Gubinov, says he wanted to experience how our predecessors hauled barges in the old times.
However, 100 meters is only a fraction of the distance that the original barge haulers would pull the boats.
To compare, the section from Rybinsk to Astrakhan where barge haulers worked most actively is more than two and a half thousand kilometers long.
The barge is loaded with bags of sand, to make it heavy, however this is also far from the weight that was pulled in the past.
A typical barge pulled by barge haulers had a carrying capacity of up to 200 tonnes.
It was hard to pull a boat (in the past), because it was really very heavily loaded, says organizer lyubov Glukhova.
Of course, today, this is not the exact same boat that barge haulers used to pull.
Several international participants also come to the festival.
These international students, studying in Rybinsk and other Russian cities, have come to test their strength.
Although the distance is short, it's hard to pull the barge.
Participant Glen Gbanhu thinks that the most difficult part is to pull it (the barge) back. It's just no pulling at all, he says.
And after a hard day's work pulling barges, it's time for some down time.
The traditional barge hauler's meal – fish soup – is served.
Historian Oksana Gozhalimova explains that a hauler's spoon helped potential employers identify who already had a job and who was available to work.
If the spoon was turned over or put in a hat, this indicated that this barge hauler is hungry, he didn't have an employer, she explains.
Not a single river in the world knew such scale of barge hauling as the Volga.

RUSSIA: NIZHNY NOVGOROD: CITY GEARS UP FOR MAYORAL ELECTIONS
Eng/Russ/Nat
Once the closed Soviet city of Gorky, now an industrial powerhouse held up in the West as the hot bed of reform, Nizhny Novgorod goes to the polls on Sunday.
Elections for the key role of city mayor will be the first indication of how Russia's economic crisis has affected the political map - and it looks as though both the Kremlin and the communist opposition are suffering equally seriously.
The leading candidates have been careful to disassociate themselves from both camps.
The result could be the first election in the new Russia where personality - rather than party - may produce the winner.
Better known formerly as a city closed to foreigners and the place of dissident Andrei Sakharov's internal exile, Nizhny Novgorod enjoys a reputation today as the reform capital of Russia.
A high-tech city in Soviet times, it has a well-educated workforce and a liberal administration that attracts serious western investment.
Not all have benefited. But the legacy of former regional governor Boris Nemtsov, one of Russia's most western-minded reformers, lives on.
As the city gears up for mayoral elections on Sunday, even left-wing candidates like Vladimir Semago aren't calling into question the need to continue reforms.
Semago quit the Communist Party last week.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
He woke up Nizhny, and I guess the spirit and mentality of the people changed here much more than in all the other regions of the country. This is the 'win' of Mr Nemtsov. But we have to prolong, we have to be thinking now not about our spirit, not about our mentality, but we have to think about our economical situation
SUPER CAPTION: Vladimir Semago, Mayoral Candidate
The massive 'GAZ' motor works in Nizhny is one ex-Soviet giant that has survived thanks to a combination of clever management and market reform.
Freed from the obligation to turn out (m) millions of outdated trucks, the privatised company switched production to commercial vans - precisely what today's small traders had been crying out for.
The plant employs over 100-thousand of Nizhny's population. Another 800-thousand Russians working in manufacturing depend on it indirectly.
Management are confident they will pull through the current economic turmoil.
But while the final effect on industry is still unclear, Russia's crisis has already made its mark on the political map.
Voters in Sunday's elections have turned their backs not just on the Kremlin - or 'party of power' as it is known - but on the communist-led opposition, too.
Many are equally disgusted with both - and tired of the political wrangling that has paralysed efforts to drag Russia out of depression.
{SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
People are tired of all these elections and don't believe in them. And then there are the candidates... whichever one wins makes no difference.
SUPER CAPTION: Olga
SOUNDBITE: (Russian) The economic policies of each are about the same. Personal qualities, I think, are what will count
SUER CAPTION: Nikolai
Leading candidates for the mayor's job are at pains to distance themselves from either political camp.
A radical change in the traditional party-based politics of Russia seems to be underway.
SOUNDBITE: (English) Yes, the crisis is changing the electoral picture. But this electoral picture is not in favour of the communists or the 'party of power'. It favours all other candidates who have only to criticise the regime.
SUPER CAPTION: Vyacheslav Nikonov, Director, 'Politika' Foundation
Among them, Yuri Lebedev, once Yeltsin's representative in Nizhny region. Russians distrust all politicians now, he says. What they are looking for are individuals who can get the job done.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)

Iran: Rouhani hands resistance budget to parliament

**RESTRICTIONS: NO Access Israel Media/Persian Language TV Stations Outside Iran/Strictly No Access BBC Persian/VOA Persian/Manoto-1 TV/Iran International**
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani presented the country's 'resistance budget', tailored specifically under economic pressure imposed by Washington sanctions, to the country's parliament in Tehran on Sunday.
Addressing the parliament, Rouhani announced that the budget was based on the amortisation of sanctions pressure, and will be less focused on the oil revenues: This budget announces to the world that, despite sanctions, we will manage the country, especially in regards to the oil. Next year's budget will not rely on oil, based on our evaluation of the situation.
Rouhani also announced an improvement in economic relations with Iran's partner countries, saying this process is getting better in recent months, and expressed the hope for further improvement in the following year.
In 2018, the US under the administration of US President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from the Iran Nuclear Deal, known as the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] and reimposed sanctions against the country.
