US Senate passes START

The US Senate has approved a new nuclear arms treaty with Russia -- after 13 Republicans broke ranks to back it. The Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty -- or START -- will cut both countries' arsenals of deployed warheads bombers and nuclear submarines.

Russia has welcomed the development, saying it will help develop relations between the two countries. The treaty represents a major foreign policy victory for President Obama, whose reputation has taken a battering in the US.
