UK  Russia hails US missile overhaul  Dimtry Medvedev Mr
Medvedev will hold missile talks with Mr Obama next week
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has welcomed as "positive" the
US decision to shelve controversial missile defence bases in
Poland and the Czech Republic.  Mr Medvedev said there were now
"good conditions" for US-Russia talks on tackling missile
proliferation.  US President Barack Obama had earlier announced
there would be a shift in US missile defence strategy, following
a review of the threat posed by Iran.  Russian Prime Minister
Vladimir Putin said it was a "correct and brave" move.  However,
US Republicans have called the decision "short-sighted" and
"harmful".  Some said it was a concession to Moscow with nothing
in return.  Russia had long objected to plans pursued by the
administration of former-President George W Bush to base a
missile interceptor system close to its borders, calling it a
threat to its security.  Kevin Con
