An assistant shows the block with a red button marked “reset” in English and “overload” in Russian that US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton handed to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov during a meeting on March 6, 2009 in Geneva. This upbeat note is a reference to a speech by new US Vice-President Joe Biden in January signalling that the Obama administration wanted vastly improved ties with Russia. The meeting over dinner in Geneva is expected to discuss world tensions, ranging from Afghanistan to a planned US missile shield in Europe and Iran’s nuclear programme.AFP PHOTO / FABRICE COFFRINI/POOL (Photo credit should read FABRICE COFFRINI/AFP/Getty Images)
