Bush and Aznar going up to podium\u003cbr/\u003e3. Mid shot of President Bush and Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar,\u003cbr/\u003e4. SOUNDBITE: (English) US President George W. Bush: \u003cbr/\u003e\"The ABM Treaty is a relic of the past. It prevents freedom loving people from exploring the future and that's why we've got to lay it aside. And that's why we've got to have the framework - the discussions necessary - to explain to our friends and allies as well as Russia, that our intent is to make the world more peaceful. Not more dangerous. Our intent is to bring more stability into the world. And freedom loving people must recognise the true threats that face democracies in the 21st century. The days of the Cold War have ended. And so must the Cold War mentality as far as I'm concerned. President Aznar had a lot of interesting points of view. He had a lot of very good questions to ask. One of them was your question. How do we know if it will work? And the only way to know if it will work will be for the United States to spend the dollars and have the capacity to do research and development on this very important issue.\"\u003cbr/\u003e5. Cut to journalist\u003cbr/\u003e6. SOUNDBITE: (English) US President George W. Bush:  \u003cbr/\u003e\"This is an appropriate question after I've had a chance to visit with all the leaders in Europe. I come to the conference believing that every leader is sincere about their desire to clean the world and so are we. We have a different approach. But we have the same goals. As I said earlier, I believe the Kyoto treaty is a flawed treaty. I think that it has set unscientific goals and it didn't include developing countries. On the other hand I want to reiterate today and I will do so throughout the week, that we are committed to reducing greenhouse gasses in the United States.\"\u003cbr/\u003e7. Cut away of press\u003cbr/\u003e8. SOUNDBITE: (English) US President George W. Bush: \u003cbr/\u003e\"Our joint statement addresses a renewed commitment to the NATO alliance and a readiness to respond to any new threats. The statement also underscores our share of support for a new round of global trade negotiations this year. The United States and Spain have worked closely together to promote freedom, prosperity and stability both in the Americas and in South East Europe. We appreciate Spain's contribution towards peace in the Balkans.\"\u003cbr/\u003e9. Cutaway\u003cbr/\u003e10. SOUNDBITE: (English) US President George W. Bush: \u003cbr/\u003e\"Democracies debate issues. Democracies represent the will of the people. The death penalty is the will of the people in the United States. There are some people who don't agree with the death penalty in our country. And it's not an easy subject for any of us. But the majority of the people - and our laws reflect the majority of the people - believe that if the death penalty is certain, just and fair, it'll deter crime.\"\u003cbr/\u003e11.

I believe strongly that's the right policy for the United States.\"\u003cbr/\u003e14. Wide of Bush and Aznar\u003cbr/\u003e15. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar:\u003cbr/\u003e\"We agree on one fundamental thing in terms of Latin America. The conditions are right for more prosperity to come to the region of South and Central America in the 21st century. Therefore there should be the establishment of democratic systems which are more solid. And we should strongly push for more prosperity in these countries which will mean more stability, more wealth, more prosperity for the region. Which would be important for us and for the world stability.\"\u003cbr/\u003e16. Bush and Aznar embrace and leave podium\u003cbr/\u003eU-S President George W. Bush opened his first European trip on the defensive Tuesday, arguing his case for a missile defence shield and at odds with allies on global warming and capital punishment.\u003cbr/\u003eThe niceties of his tour of Madrid's Zarzuela Palace and its wooded animal preserve quickly segued to the diplomatic business of soothing European allies on issues Bush is likely to confront several times over as he crisscrosses Europe on this five-day, five-nation swing.\u003cbr/\u003eBush was still huddling with Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar at Aznar's whitewashed ranch house south of Madrid when European Union environment ministers sent word from Brussels, Belgium, rejecting Bush's latest climate-change initiative as short on action and urging Bush to back the Kyoto treaty on global warming.\u003cbr/\u003eAt a joint news conference with Aznar, Bush was unyielding. \u003cbr/\u003eHe called the 1997 Kyoto agreement flawed, \"unrealistic\" and not based on sound science.\u003cbr/\u003eBush, who has pledged to research technological solutions to slow greenhouse gas emissions without harm to the American economy, said of meeting on Thursday with his critics in the EU:\u003cbr/\u003e\"I come to the conference believing that every leader is sincere about his desire to clean the world and so are we. We have a different approach, but we have the same goals.\"\u003cbr/\u003eBush and Aznar took a limited number of reporters' questions but were spared no ticklishness when it came to topics.\u003cbr/\u003eOne day after the United States executed Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, a Spanish reporter asked if Bush's European counterparts might be able to change Bush's mind on the death penalty, which he favors but most Europeans passionately oppose.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Democracies debate issues. Democracies represent the will of the people. The death penalty is the will of the people in the United States,\" Bush replied.\u003cbr/\u003eAznar then noted his own personal opposition to capital punishment, which Spain has abolished.\u003cbr/\u003eBush was also pressed to explain his pursuit of a missile defense shield despite opposition among allies who fear he will trigger a new arms race.\u003cbr/\u003eSounding as much animated as agitated, Bush ran through his arguments several times.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Our intent is to bring stability into the world,\" he said. \u003cbr/\u003eIn a joint statement, Bush and Aznar agreed on a need for a \"comprehensive security strategy that encompasses both offensive and defensive deterrent systems.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe two leaders also reaffirmed their commitment to free trade and NATO expansion.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Spanish Prime Minister said Bush's visit had cemented U.S.-Spanish ties. \u003cbr/\u003eBut he also said the two remained divided on some issues, an apparent reference to Bush's rejection of the Kyoto global warming treaty, plans to build a missile defence system and policy on Cuba.\u003cbr/\u003ePresident Bush announced his administration plan to keep the embargo on Cuba. \u003cbr/\u003eHe added that  it will do so \"until Fidel Castro frees prisoners, has free elections, embraces freedom.\"\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
