In worrying echoes of the nuclear arms race, Russia says it has a new weapon which it plans to deploy which no one else has, or is likely to develop. Russian President, Vladimir Putin, failed to specify what type of weapon he was referring to, but he said it would be able to penetrate any space shield put up by the United States.

America's missile defence shield is due to be up and running by the end of next year, and a spokesman for the agency which is developing it has told AM, the United States is not threatened by the Russian declaration.
