The
Guardian: The UK's nuclear stockpile could be reduced after
multilateral talks next year that are likely to flow from a
global summit on nuclear weapons, says Prime Minister Gordon
Brown.The summit, to be convened by US president Barack Obama,
is expected to come up with a new regime to prevent nuclear
proliferation and ensure the safe storage of nuclear
stockpiles. It is likely to involve up to 30 countries,
providing an opportunity for discussion on a more intrusive
weapons inspection regime and a chance for nuclear weapons
states other than Russia and the US, which between them account
for 95% of nuclear weapons, to contribute to the disarmament
process.
