[000:00:00;00] news the, every jenny is full of surprises. me, it's gone all out to give you some of the right people in your northern most count the police the free time.

but still very much alive. your guy to the special sauce in germany recognizes where exactly it was fun. learned a lot of our culture history. all their travel extremely worth a visit. the southern networking posing and a new kid capable of strategic from the u. s. ballistic missile step 3 in showing up at the show. so she brought him into the construction side in the middle of the chinese desert. you silos for intercontinental ballistic missiles. dozens of them. these recent examples of the 3 biggest po, us displaying modernizing and increasing the us know there's no doubt in my mind that the, the risk of nuclear weapons coming into use is increasing and has increased

significant or in the cold corner. the system of the parents kept things in check the today that i'm more active and let's say for the nuclear order control treaties, all of that is under a lot of stress. the age of disarmament is over newcastle, close and growing again. so we stumbled into another and more dangerous nuclear arms race. the, the only time nuclear weapons were used in a conflict was in august 1945 when the us from sunny rushing mountains, like a saki in japan. this was the blast radius of the bomb dropped on hiroshima which killed up to 140000 people. and this would be the devastation to days, largest bombs, and the american awesome. it would cost lucky the nuclear weapons haven't destroyed

the world yet. even though that could have happened during the cold war and the number of nuclear warheads reached 70000 at the peak. this was due to the race between the soviet union and the united states. both in 2000 nuclear tests, such as here. and this will get to the worst part of the competition. yeah, i do not know. i hear of retaliation prevented both from pushing the button 1st. the principal calls mutually assured destruction. eventually, after a series of arms control treaties and the contents of the soviet union came mass us disarmament. the number of nuclear warheads went down to over 12000 to date. still enough to destroy the bills multiple times. 9 countries have nukes, most keep the exact size of the us know secrets. but according to estimates the us

and russia still the big play us today. china is all smell is much smaller. instead of me growing, we get to that. and then the countries like north korea, india pack is done from and the united kingdom is trenice believes to be one of those, but has never officially confirmed. it has nukes. but just as we still have the new address was the thing of the past. the new nuclear stress test start the 3 reasons. russia's war against dufrane, the contents of arms control and china's nuclear build up. ever since russia who's cadence ational, keep train the kremlin, has made a series of new test. rents like this towards the western nations must realize that we also have the weapons that can hit targets on their territory and they have to do it all this really threatens a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons conflict and the destruction of civilization was measured. so we showing them typically that's quite from the beginning of that war,

of nuclear weapons were brought out rabbit, so to speak, um by the russians to say to the west, listen, don't go him directly here and try to stop us. hence, christensen is the director of the nuclear information project at the federation of american scientists, the organization, advocates for transparency and risk reduction from nuclear weapons. we've seen the way they talk about needs of weapons. and the potential role of nuclear weapons involves uh, quite significantly, in the sense that it became more explicit by threatening to break the nucleotide to food. and it's throwing the system of determines off balance. in 2023, he announced the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons to neighboring bella roofs . it's the 1st time russia since nuclear weapons outside of its own territory. this is where the nukes could be stored, and military depot in central mother was precious as

a descending tactical nuclear weapons. they have a range of a few 100 kilometers, low y yields and are supposed to have a battlefield purpose. these are the friend from strategic nuclear weapons, which could wipe out an entire city thousands of kilometers away. technical nuclear weapons and but our rules are a threat to nato's eastern members. but russia is believed to already have tactical nukes and coming in abroad. it's less than x plays, giving of those some of the reach of a native territory. i interpret the better roost deployment decision more as a political signal, as opposed to being driven by military or strategic necessity on the russian side. you know, to is direct us eurasia at the james martin center for nonproliferation studies. she specializes in russian foreign policy and arms control. i would contextualize this decision to, to move nuclear weapons to better was into this general array of measures that

russia has taken in order to heighten the temperature and make us in the west. feel that the risk of nuclear war is increasing due to russia, nate to begin wrestling its own nuclear savers in europe, on the fronds and the okay, have to own nukes. there are some 100 nuclear warheads from the united states, deployed to bases in belgium. the netherlands, germany, italy, and turkey. did us maintain control over the weapons that's in a conflict. the bombs would be mounted on hosts, nation war plains. here dutch pilots, a training for just such a scenario. now preparations are running high to put u. s. nukes also at this base and the okay, just 100 kilometers northeast of london get really started after rushes, invasion of premier in 2014. that's when we started seeing real changes happening in the way the americans planned the role of nuclear weapons in defense of your

us as also bringing its nuclear submarines informed us to europe more often like this. b 52 over stuck home. they're going further east. they're going into areas where they happened. they didn't used to go at all. um, i mean, sometimes very offensive ways. in march 2023, for example, in american b, $52.00 bomber conducted maneuvers over europe, heading towards st. petersburg and turning around just before it got to russian as space and in your face exercised russia. similarly, that's my. so let's here in 2021. remember my user over about succeed in the past, the us and russia had at least notified each other in advance. the vote exercise was like this. that was part of the new start trading is also kept the list of the number of strategic nuclear weapons. the ones which can destroy whole cities of the being launched from

a different continent. this and other agreements between the 2 sides are designed to build trust through their reputation. and let's russia into us to reduce desktop fire. that's after attack in ukraine. russia suspended participation in the treaty and already before in 2019 on this from to feed us out of the treaty bending mid range missiles like these. something between tactical and strategic weapons, especially with trump. plus, i'm happy that the treaty does not include u. s. rivals in asia, we really have no choice. perhaps we can negotiate a different agreement, adding china and others. or perhaps we can't. in which case we will out spend an out in of a all others by far aggressive frederick for just for just a new new camp. older today, 6 out of the 9 new just dates are adding to desktop sites,

especially one of them. we have china that is rapidly building up its own nuclear arsenal and modernizing and so far, refusing to be engaged in arms control talks because it hasn't gifts reached what it was called. parity with united states and russia. here in the desert near the northwest and the city of human, china has built more than 100 new side of the storage and launching sites for icbm . and the last 10 years alone, china has doubled its nuclear inventory. it is estimated that the country now has around $500.00 warheads and is projected to grow further. is a dramatic change for the chinese of course, because all the previous decades, they have consistent that they were not in arms raised. they didn't need more than just a small number of weapons to make the point to other countries. we just don't do something stupid. they clearly class decided that,

that it's no longer china. it's never explained why it is expanding. it's r as no. and how far is wants to go, and then let's say being considered as far as know to vulnerable to an attack. so what does this mean for the new nuclear arms race? remember, the idea of mutually assured destruction we mentioned before. in the cold war, 2 sites mentioned each other as new numbers to keep the arrival in check. striking a balance will be much harder with sweet play us into you with addition on notice of aging, how to confirm to me appear to your adversary in case russia and china joint forces . the dining of the new nuclear capable of the 21 is just the 1st glimpse of the u . s. new can modernization program. the total price tech to update us nuclear weapons could reach $1.00 trillion dollars over the next 30 years. so new news, more news and more dangerous. well,

the system of the turns was beginning to falter. getting it back under control will be even harder this time. we only have experience in the past of doing arms control and between the soviet union and the united states. we don't really have any experience doing multi acting pianist control agreements. so what does that mean for the future? the sale use of nuclear weapons. their value in the minds of military and political leaders is increasing. sends the message also to non nuclear states. we now have new countries in asia, in the maybe east and even in europe. thinking about whether they might need a nuclear weapons capability on their own. the new nuclear arms race is picking up speed and without new rules and place. it will be hard to stop
