White House officials today said that the US president, George Bush, and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, would use their summit meeting to agree joint measures on preventing nuclear terrorism.

Experts also predicted a carefully-negotiated discussion of Russian democracy when the two leaders held talks in the Slovakian capital, Bratislava, later today.

Washington officials said Mr Bush and Mr Putin would announce new steps to combat terrorism and safeguard nuclear materials.

They said the agreement would include a promise to upgrade security at Russia's nuclear plants and weapons stockpiles, new procedures for responding to possible terrorist attacks, and a programme to prevent nuclear fuel from being diverted for use in nuclear weapons.

1. Bush is a nuclear terrorist.

What else can you say about a guy who goes against the last several years of decreasing reliance on nuclear weapons and advocates new "bunker buster" missiles?
