- Czech President meets British Prince Charles
Czech President Vaclav Klaus met British Prince Charles and his wife Camilla in a private meeting at Prague Castle Saturday.
Klaus praised Britain for taking a reserved stand on the transfer of more powers to the European Union just as the Czech Republic, in a toast at a gala dinner he and his wife hosted in honor of Charles and Camilla.
Klaus said that in the spirit of the British political tradition it is necessary to protect citizens' freedom against new collectivism even at present.

- Obama's nuclear posture is a step in the right direction, but not disarmament
The language shifts of US policy from talk of first strikes but deterrence remains centralYesterday's nuclear posture review (NPR) was always going to be an improvement on the last. Published in 2002 at the peak of the Bush administration's confident assertion of the new American century, the previous NPR rejected arms control and multilateralism and sought to reintroduce the concept of nuclear war-fighting with mini-nukes, bunker-busters and counter-proliferation through first strikes.Obama's NPR, instead, places the administration firmly in the multilateral arms control camp, with a promise of future disarmament.So what's new? In Prague last April we heard the president give commitments to the goal of a world free of nuclear weapons. This policy document places that vision in the context of real deployments today.The United States has given conditional security assurances to non-nuclear weapon states before — that it would not attack them with nuclear weapons. This NPR, coming just a month before the NPT Review Conference, gives unconditional commitments against nuclear attack to all non-nuclear states faithful to their non-proliferation commitments.The NPR confirms a deal between Obama and his defence secretary, Robert Gates. In return for one of the largest-ever increases in the nuclear weapons budget — to assure reliability, security and safety, and to invest in the infrastructure and workforce — Gates has agreed that there is no need for any new nuclear warheads or testing, and that there can be significant cuts in the numbers of warheads kept back in case of technical failure or crisis.There's a great deal more detail in the report, but the big questions are, just how radical is it, and why is it important? While the speeches and articles are all welcome, the pre 最初のストライキの話から、米国の政策の言語シフトはしかし、抑止力はcentralYesterdayの核戦略見直しのまま（NPR）を常に最後に改善されるとしていた

- Tiny Tyneside church beats Canterbury cathedral and Gormley in arts competition
Engraved glass so delicate that frost can change its nature helps scoop top prize for Northumberland. The Northerner's arts monitor Alan Sykes reportsA tiny church high above the Tyne valley has beaten off competition from the likes of Canterbury Cathedral to win this year's Art in a Religious Context award from the charity Art & Christian Enquiry. The biennial award was made for two commemorative stained glass windows commissioned for St John's church, Healey, in Northumberland, by artists Anne Vibeke Mou and James Hugonin.Anne Vibeke Mou was born in Denmark and graduated with an MA from the Royal College of Art in 2005 before moving to Newcastle. She has shown in Denmark, Prague and London as well as at the National Glass Centre at Sunderland University. Her work for St John's, which lies between Hexham and Newcastle-upon-Tyne, is a sheet of glass covered with thousands of tiny impact marks made by hitting the glass with a tungsten point, creating swirling, cloud-like forms which can be seen from the outside of the church as well as from its interior. A hard frost can affect her window, giving it an extra layer of depth.James Hugonin was born in county Durham and graduated from the Chelsea School of Art in 1975. He has shown at the Baltic and Kettle's Yard in Cambridge as well as in London, Edinburgh and Germany. He is shortlisted for this year's Northern Art Prize www.northernartprize.org.uk which opens at the Leeds City Art Gallery on November 25th. His window is made of small rectangles of glass, some transparent and some translucent, mainly red, blue, yellow and green. Although totally abstract, a double helix form can be made out in the patterns of colour.The two windows were commissioned as a memorial to his parents Julian & Virginia Warde-Aldam by local 霜がその性質を変えることができるように繊細な彫りガラスは、ノーサンバーランド州のためのスクープ大賞を受賞することができます
- Getting to low numbers of nuclear weapons
A new book offers 'a practical path to deep reductions' in superpower arsenalsAfter the New Start treaty, with its modest reductions in the US and Russia nuclear arsenals, barely scraped through the US Senate in December, there is not a great deal of optimism around for a follow-on arms control agreement any time soon. Nor is there much hope that the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty will finally be approved in a finely-balanced Senate in the run-up to an election. Against this gloomy backdrop, James Acton, a nuclear policy expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, has brought out a practical guide to the seemingly impossible:..reducing the US and Russian stockpiles to 500 nuclear warheads each and those of other nuclear-armed states to no more than about half that number. This target would require Washington and Moscow to reduce their arsenals by a factor of ten.The secret to avoiding 'strategic instability' on the way to such low figures, Acton argues, lies in a comprehensive and verifiable approach.To accomplish this, formal arms control efforts must limit certain types of high-precision conventional weapons, phase out missiles armed with multiple warheads, and enhance the transparency of nuclear weapon production complexes.Not only is this difficult in itself, the book admits, it is further complicated by the presence of non-NPT nuclear states like Israel, India, Pakistan and North Korea. Acton also warns:This process will probably be derailed entirely if Iran is successful in acquiring nuclear weapons. Two years after the bright dawn of Barack Obama's Prague speech on eliminating nuclear weapons, arms control advocates are struggling with despondency. Acton at least offers a pragmatic route back to hope.Nuclear weaponsJulian Borgerguardian.co.uk © 新しい本は、米国およびやっと12月に米上院で削り、ロシアの核兵器で、控えめな削減と、超大国のarsenalsAfterの新スタート条約の深い削減に実用的なパスを。。u0026#39;提供し、楽観主義の多くの周りがないフォローアップ軍縮協定にいつでもすぐにしてください
- Eric Strach obituary
My father, Eric Strach, who has died aged 96, was a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at St Helens and Whiston hospitals, Merseyside. He specialised in the treatment of children with spina bifida, and designed appliances which improved their quality of life, including the Strach-Edney calliper and a shunt to drain fluid from the head, for those affected by hydrocephalus.Eric was a keen amateur astronomer and built a solar observatory in his garden. His observations and drawings of solar flares and prominences were meticulously executed and published in the journal of the British Astronomical Association.Eric was born into a close-knit Jewish family in Brno, Czechoslovakia, where his father owned an umbrella shop. After graduating in medicine from Prague University in 1938, Eric went on holiday to France. As the situation in Europe deteriorated, his parents dissuaded him from returning. Eric tried desperately to arrange a visa for his older sister, Ilse, and her children. He always thought he could have done more to save them.He arrived in the UK in 1940 with the Czech army and resumed his medical career, becoming the senior house surgeon at Wigan Infirmary. He married Margaret Forshaw in 1945. After the war, he returned to Czechoslovakia to help with the typhus epidemic in the Terezin concentration camp. He and Margaret intended to live in Czechoslovakia but, when Eric discovered that his family had perished in concentration camps, decided to settle in the UK.Until the fall of the iron curtain, Eric did not return. After the establishment of the Czech Republic in 1990, Eric set about having a memorial stone erected in the Jewish cemetery in Slavkov, near Brno, where his grandparents had lived, and renovating the synagogue there.

- In praise of… Abdo Khal
Acclaimed author shines a light on life at the bottom of the heap in Saudi Arabia's often forgotten villagesAs anyone who has picked up One Thousand and One Nights is aware, there is a venerable tradition of Arabian storytelling. Before sky-scrapers shot up in the Gulf, the heart of the culture was found in the tales shared around evening fires, and perhaps that is what organisers of this week's Book World Prague jamboree had in mind in making Saudi Arabia their guest of honour. Or, just perhaps, they grabbed the petro-dollars without stopping to think. Conditions in the kingdom are dismal ones for creating literature of any quality. With no cinemas, youngsters can grow up missing out on the great tales of the times, and there are ludicrous new strictures on literary clubs, even before we consider the heavy scrawl of the censor's black pen. The Prague delegation arrived with just one obscure writer, deliberately leaving behind novelists whose sheer gift has overcome all of the barriers to win international acclaim. Foremost among them is Abdo Khal, whose Spewing Sparks As Big As Castles won a $60,000 prize dubbed the Arab Booker. A modest man stemming from the Hijazi west, he shines a light on life at the bottom of the heap, in Saudi's often forgotten villages. His voice blends image-rich poetic classicism with contemporary patois, which makes for an unmistakably Arab mix, but it reliably sets to work on universal themes. Spewing Sparks casts an unflinching eye on those seduced by the glamour of palace politics. Needless to say, it is not easy to get hold of in Saudi Arabia.Saudi ArabiaMiddle Eastguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Letters: Communist tactics
I would like to point out that the tactics used by the police in London during the royal wedding (Report, 30 April) are exactly the same that communist police used in Czechoslovakia against human rights activists and dissidents in the 1970s and 80s before each controversial political anniversary (the August 1968 Soviet invasion etc), and always before a visit of a western politician. Dissidents were detained for 24 or 48 hours. After the western politician left the country, they were released. Another technique used by the communist police against dissidents quite often was to drive them out into the countryside in the middle of the night and drop them in the middle of nowhere, so that they would not get back to Prague in time for the planned event. I think it is important to warn people that Britain is starting to adopt the policies of former communist states.Jan CulikCzech studies, University of GlasgowPoliceRoyal weddingCzech Republicguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Theresienstadt weekend | Classical review
Wigmore Hall, LondonThe greatest musical experiences radically alter our perspectives. This was very much the case with the Nash Ensemble's Theresienstadt weekend. Concerts, films, talks and exhibitions examined the extraordinary cultural flowering in the ghetto-camp near Prague, set up by the Nazis in 1941, where, among thousands of others, the Czech-Jewish intelligentsia were held before transportation to death camps. The event's force lay in its broadening of our contextual awareness, and in its revelation of the quality of the work produced.Paintings and drawings by children, unflinching witnesses to history, hung on the walls of the Wigmore's subterranean Bechstein room. Three extraordinary women – an actor, a painter and a singer – spoke with wise eloquence of surviving both Theresienstadt and Auschwitz. Creativity was an existential affirmation of life, though traditions died along with people. Krása and Pavel Haas, Janáček's rightful successors, were murdered in the gas chambers. The ironies of Weimar Republic cabaret were kept alive, for a while, in bittersweet songs by Adolf Strauss and Otto Skute。ky.Many works were outright masterpieces. Haas's Four Songs on Chinese Poetry, Erwin Schulhoff's Duo for Violin and Cello, and above all Krása's Passacaglia and Fuga and his Rimbaud settings for baritone, clarinet, viola and cello belong in the regular repertory, irrespective of the circumstances of their composition.The Nash, an ensemble of stars, played with great technical power and depth of feeling. The singer was Wolfgang Holzmair, richly expressive, if overly score-bound. The Nash should tour this internationally – it deserves to be heard around the world.Rating: 5/5Classical musicHolocaustTim Ashleyguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Lim ウィグモアホール、LondonThe最大の音楽の経験が根本的に自分たちの視点を変更します

- Our giant step towards a world free from nuclear danger | Hillary Clinton
This treaty shows the strength of America's commitment to global disarmament – and to our national securityTomorrow the United States and Russia will sign the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (Start) in Prague, reducing the number of strategic nuclear warheads in our arsenals to levels not seen since the first decade of the nuclear age. This verifiable reduction by the world's two largest nuclear powers reflects our commitment to the basic bargain of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) – all nations have the right to seek the peaceful use of nuclear energy, but they all also have the responsibility to prevent nuclear proliferation, and those that do possess these weapons must work towards disarmament.This agreement is just one of several concrete steps the United States is taking to make good on President Obama's pledge to make America and the world safer by reducing the threat of nuclear weapons, proliferation and terrorism.Yesterday the president announced the US government's Nuclear Posture Review (NPR), which provides a roadmap for reducing the role and numbers of our nuclear weapons while more effectively protecting the United States and our allies from today's most pressing threats.Next week President Obama will host more than 40 leaders at a nuclear security summit for the purpose of securing all vulnerable nuclear materials as swiftly as possible to prevent them from falling into the hands of terrorists.And along with our international partners, the United States is pursuing diplomatic efforts that create real consequences for states such as Iran and North Korea that defy the global non-proliferation regime.These steps send clear messages about our priorities and our resolve.

- What Castro really means | Richard Gott
Apparent U-turns have led some to declare Cuba's revolution dead. It has life in it yet, howeverThe ever-surprising island of Cuba has come up with some fresh economic measures this week that pose the question: is this the end of socialism? For President Raúl Castro to sack half a million state employees, and then allow his brother Fidel to hint to an American reporter from the Atlantic that the country's economic model is not working, suggests that there is certainly something significant in the pipeline. But this is not the end of the revolutionary dream, nor is it a simple rectification of policy, of which there have been many over the years. It is, more importantly, the start of a major new programme, long-awaited. How it should be ideologically defined remains to be seen.Everyone who lives in Cuba and those who follow Cuban affairs closely know that the existing economic model has not been working well. It hardly needs Fidel to spell this out. Ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union 20 years ago, which deprived the island of its principal model and benefactor, the Cuban authorities have improvised brilliantly, breaking every rule in the rulebook, both socialist and capitalist. Tourism has replaced sugar as the country's principal earner of foreign currency. Collective farms have been broken up. Hundreds of thousands of people now work on their own account, soon to be joined by half a million others – or possibly more.The outlines of the new programme are still barely visible, but will become more so in the months to come, as an embryonic private sector begins to re-emerge. In 1968, at the height of the Prague Spring, Fidel shut down all small enterprises, as well as cafes, bars and nightclubs, accusing them of fostering a counter-revolution.

- Half-time at the NPT
Amid talk of good atmospherics behind closed doors, proposals for a nuclear weapons free zone in the Middle East is still the pivotal issueWe are half-way through the negotiating marathon that is the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) review conference and the crunch is approaching. The speeches have been made, the working groups set up, and drafts assembled. There are now two weeks left for the tough bargaining between the nuclear haves and have-nots over what the global arms control regime should look like.The Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) has a very useful summary of the positions of various key countries, from which two main themes emerge: there is an Obama-effect at play, and the idea of a nuclear weapons free zone in the Middle East is becoming a make or break issue.The non-aligned and non-weapons states are saying that the atmospherics are much better than last time around five years ago, largely because of Obama's influence. His Prague speech last year, the changes in the US nuclear posture review and the New Start treaty, have all been credited to the account of the weapons states, and defused some of the us-versus-them friction that torpedoed the last review conference in 2005.But the feel-good factor does not necessarily imply there will be a meaningful agreement at the end of the month on what should be done about disarmament and non-proliferation. The weapons states are not going to sign up for a timetable for disarmament, and non-weapons states are not going to accept tougher IAEA inspections, known as the Additional Protocol, as obligatory.A key area of possible compromise is the Middle East zone.

- World without nukes is still only a dream for Obama
States such as India and Israel must be persuaded to give up their nuclear weaponsHow realistic is the prospect of a nuclear-free world? The question is asked because of several events that took place last week that speak to the possibility of further moves towards disarmament and the hurdles ahead.The first event, actually a pair of events, has been the unveiling of President Barack Obama's new Nuclear Posture Review and the signing, in Prague, of a new nuclear treaty between the US and Russia, cutting strategic weapons stockpiles. Baby steps both, they progress the world a little further towards Obama's goal of a nuclear-free planet, but in the interim leave it still heavily armed.The Posture Review is probably the more significant. While disappointing those disarmament campaigners who had hoped for a US declaration of no first use, it sets out a significant new nuclear doctrine. Where once the US reserved the right to use nuclear weapons to respond to an attack against it or its allies by any weapons of mass destruction, now it has been refined to being a deterrent against nuclear attack. This has been a demand of states seeking a commitment from the US explicitly to rule out nuclear weapons use against non-nuclear states as a quid pro quo.Which brings us to last week's second significant event: not the signing of the new US-Russian treaty, but Friday's announcement by the Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, that he will not attend Obama's 47-country nuclear proliferation conference in Washington this week. He fears that Israel would come under pressure over its own nuclear arsenal from Egypt and Turkey.And there is the nuclear disarmament conundrum in a nutshell.

- The case for western missile defence | Anders Fogh Rasmussen
As the US and Russia agree on arms reduction in a threatening world, a combined missile defence system should be nextNext week in Prague, Russian president Dmitry Medvedev and US president Barack Obama will sign a new strategic arms reduction treaty (Start). That agreement is an historic achievement, and an inspiration for further progress in global arms control. But at the same time, here and now, we must also prepare to defend against another, less encouraging trend.The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery is a threat to both the Nato allies and Russia. A look at current trends shows that more than 30 countries have or are developing missile capabilities. In many cases, these missiles could eventually threaten Europe's populations and territories.Iran is a case in point. It has signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, and is developing a nuclear programme that it claims is for civilian purposes only. But Iran has gone far beyond what is necessary for a purely civilian programme. It has concealed several nuclear facilities from the International Atomic Energy Agency, played hide-and-seek with the international community, and rejected all offers of co-operation from the US, the EU, and others. Most recently, Iran's government has announced plans to enrich its uranium to levels that appear incompatible with civilian use and that defy several UN security council resolutions.Iran also has an extensive missile development programme. Iranian officials declare that the range of their modified Shahab-3 missiles is 2,000km, putting allied countries such as Turkey, Greece, Romania, and Bulgaria within reach.In February 2009, Iran introduced the SAFIR 2 space launch vehicle.

- Kyrgyzstan: The not so great game | Editorial
America's collusion with corruption and Russia's cheerleading have played out in the unravelling chaos of KyrgyzstanAs the sun shone on Barack Obama and Dmitry Medvedev when they signed a nuclear arms control treaty in Prague yesterday, a popular uprising 2,800 miles away in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, provided a somewhat more brutal test of the new era of co-operation between Moscow and Washington. Kurmanbek Bakiyev, the man propelled to power in the name of democracy and the so-called tulip revolution in 2005 has gone the way of all flesh. He rigged an election, appointed family members to key government positions, and began locking up the opposition. The trigger for a bloody revolt was a large increase in fuel prices. Yesterday, the opposition leader Roza Otunbayeva, a former foreign minister, proclaimed herself head of an interim government, but – amid widespread looting – chaos still reigned.Neither America nor Russia is an innocent bystander in this process. Bakiyev played one off against the other, his trump card being an airbase vital to the US surge in Afghanistan and through which 35,000 US troops pass each month. During a trip to Moscow in which he got $2.15bn in Russian aid, Bakiyev announced that the Manas base would close, only to reverse the decision when the US coughed up a higher rent. There was also a strong whiff of corruption in the form of a lucrative contract to provide aviation fuel to the US airbase, which Bishkek's new rulers claim was awarded to a company with connections to Bakiyev's family.Whatever it claims, Russia has not been inactive either. As relations between Bakiyev and Moscow plummeted, Russia slapped enormous customs duties on petrol and diesel exported to Kyrgyzstan. A barrage of criticism from the Russian press also changed minds in Kyrg 彼らは昨日、民衆蜂起は、2800マイル離れたビシュケクプラハの核軍備管理条約を締結するとき、腐敗とロシアのチアリーダーとアメリカの共謀はKyrgyzstanAsの白紙に戻るカオスバラクオバマ氏とメドベージェフの太陽の輝きで明るみに出たが、キルギスは、提供されるモスクワとワシントン間の協力の新しい時代のやや残酷なテストを行います
