of course other issues such as drug trafficking proving. standards of living here in afghanistan as well as the state regulations and human rights issues are also to be discussed and it looks like russia is increasing its involvement in hab helping the country in all those years russia here is represented by the country's foreign minister sergei lavrov and the head of this trip the ministry has said the ministry spokesman rather has said that. confirmed russia's willingness to jointly with the western partners. realize restoration projects here in afghanistan the restoration of social facilities facilities of industrial facilities also recently russia has said it's willing to sell over twenty am i seventeen helicopters to nature meant for the afghan army no those helicopters were designed especially to fly over the mountain so as the country's chief of staff has said himself they would be perfect for the afghan army russia has also said that it's willing to give some of them for
4:02 am
free in order to help the country and each of them costs from between thirteen and fifteen million u.s. dollars and that of course will also be very much needed here in afghanistan once the two troops start leaving the country out of one hundred thousand people that die because of drugs coming from afghanistan annually and more than a third of them dies in russia and together with the e.u. russia consumes about fifty percent of drugs coming from afghanistan so for russia of course it is a big issue during this conference and. of course russia is also willing to cooperate with the partners from the west in order to tackle this problem politically political games around this huge problem in an acceptable way we cannot comment on two drugs coalition afghanistan today is the world's man. with a problem with regional borders botswana. globalization of the criminal world.
4:03 am
so all the participants of the conference today will be making sure that the poppy fields are being destroyed in the country that of course drug dealers are being arrested and the financial flows are also controlled better and in order to reduce the country's economy's black sector and that was our case a time ago reporting from the afghan capital kabul have russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov says moscow is working to support afghan security in different areas . we're committed to supporting you in efforts on stabilizing afghanistan we will continue to allow transit of international cargo and personnel to afghanistan through our territory so we're working on additional measures to keep afghan forces together with our partners we're also helping restore the afghan economy this year russia wrote off the remainder of ghana stansted eight hundred ninety one million u.s. dollars we will continue to provide humanitarian assistance. that more now on the
4:04 am
international conference in kabul i'm joined by a political ax print from the russian a category of sciences here thank you for being here with us all this conference certainly has a very ambitious goals there but how realistic is it you think to hand over power to afghanistan to all provinces there by twenty fourteen you know presidents always loath to talk about the period beyond the next election campaign but oh we have to understand that afghanistan is a state in a condition of through fall it's fallen state we have completely disintegrated social economic and political infrastructure and most of the territory has already fallen to televen control and jaime to preside doesn't control his own capital in the daytime while they're going through that while the conference was being held for explosions took place in four bullets to say nothing of the rest of the country so actually it's quite hard to plan anything by the common christmas to say nothing about to enter friction and i guess. and of pakistan of the pending
4:05 am
disasters those other foreign states the states are descending into complete chaos and now they're likely to see taliban taking control of afghanistan and at the same situation is going to happen in pakistan very soon maybe even before twenty fifteen well just as you said that the situation in afghanistan is very complicated and also mentioned ghana stands neighbor pakistan so what sort of employ cations may the situation in pakistan have for the rest of the region you know of the problems of drug trafficking the problems of terrorism that's like a bleak one it's in the town you can't stop spreading it anymore. because stern has faced major challenges. spired biggest and made nine inches to take all the afghanistan but now the libs are demanding more power in pakistan itself and there's a large areas full faith. federal administered tribal areas between pakistan and
4:06 am
afghanistan which are under nobody's control and actually in this context we have to say about the number of problems and i guess the basic problem is that americans have failed in their nation building going to going to stand in the year twenty two twenty all three bush administration wanted to iraq so march they have actually forgotten about afghanistan and those billions of dollars spent in iraq those of course the billions of dollars not spent in afghanistan and no the whole region afghanistan pakistan and i guess x. or viewed. states are likely to fall on the taliban or other forms of extremism was not take a look at the wider context if you well you know and in context of the global fight against terror how will as you said the failing of americans in afghanistan impact the situation actual americans have failed in nation building in afghanistan and the major problem you know general mcchrystal has now gone to the new commander of
4:07 am
american troops and international troops in afghanistan they try to apply neutral solutions yes because they're a military man but you know you can apply the solution only two minutes a problem the problem in afghanistan the problem of the biggest are not military and those are social economic and political problems smallest of all corruption drug abuse and actually the basic problem the failed nation building let's see the basic problem of those countries and of course we can make no plans for to enter for two years is just a complete fantastic. political expert from the russians cademy sciences sharing his years with us here as international conferences taking place in kabul thank you very much. you're watching live from moscow now the united nations says plans by the world's wealthiest nations to cut spending on aids could jeopardize recent progress in fighting the disease the warning came at an international aids
4:08 am
conference which is underway in vienna as activists are demanding treatment for all the sarah ferguson is in the austrian capital for us. it's the third day of the aids two thousand and ten conference here in vienna and already we've seen some controversy in the days leading up to the official conference we heard from the greek challenging many of the fundamental assumptions that a lot of us hold about hatred be and about the forms of treatment no though their views were met by many of the mainstream scientists with widespread criticism that has been a lot of debating here at the official conference itself to do with funding and treatment strategies that we heard yesterday from bill gates and bill clinton they were addressing hiv and aids organizations and really asking them to ensure that they were providing value for money and fish and delivery of services in tough economic times now there's been some protests going through the conference about this apparent scaling back the people saying the governments aren't holding good on
4:09 am
their promises i remember in two thousand and five the u.n. said the december two thousand and ten deadline promising universal access to haiti hiv prevention treatment and most countries have fallen pretty far short of those targets from a lot of speakers saying that this really needs to be pushed forward funding still needs to be there and health care in any country should absolutely not be an option that comes to pendent on a price hike now another of the areas is being discussed here the conference is to be with treatments he seems new guidelines on early delivery of treatments that's been slightly controversial is going to be debated later on today but as he said the underlying basis of this conference is this focus on the human rights issue and the fact that this is not only needed to visit success in a global level a bit on an individual level to we can hear now from my colleague again to japan they met some people living with hiv a charming cartin says the tribe he saved her life is not something you hear very

often my life before each every. story. i have to go for days weeks weeks and weeks to go are you know does not even take a bath is just get high get high get high get high was smoke crack smoke. drink drink and then go to that passed out seven years ago when h.i.v. diagnosis prompted her to change your lifestyle and i've been clean. it has been restarted the ball of my new life now she takes a cocktail of three chivied fighting drugs every day and says it's like fighting any other disease but the international community thinks differently aids which the united nations says has killed twenty five million people is classed as a global epidemic there are however some scientists in the minority who counter this view h.l.v. is just another the two of us we know hundreds of them her festered used from the
4:11 am
university of california berkeley says the world has been brainwashed into thinking aids is an infectious disease most scientists don't share his views it's yes' comes along but as they wanted to make it an infectious disease but it's a lifestyle he sees over twenty million americans that's almost ten percent take illicitly creational talks every day professor duesberg opinions on aids being a sexually transmitted disease are also far from the mainstream view it's not about but in order to pick up this virus from somebody who has to have. cells and sexual contact with somebody who is positive not counting dates with negative floods they don't come that's hope efficient is just as hopeless it's biologically hopeless no one argues that h.i.v.'s and aids is the problem it is the
4:12 am
cause is in the facts of the immunity fish and sea diseases which are the focus of debate and disagreement in washington d.c. you come across these ads everywhere who's better on a bush or obama and that's the question a major aids foundation is asking while obama's new strategy is mostly focused on the domestic h.i.b. and a and for the first time the u.s. national aids plan specifically targets gay and bisexual men and. ron simmons who's black gay and h.i.v. positive says targeting reese groups is actually a good thing and more efficient he has a support group for gay charity positive black man i was on the cusp of the wave of the sexual revolution so i had done all the stuff you know with a lot of i thought of knew that. so when i found out i was positive i wasn't surprised by while acknowledging lifestyle has
4:13 am
a great deal to do with hiv diagnosis ron says people should avoid social stigma we think of people with lung cancer from the happens but think with their fall so tough luck don't get into how did you get sick that's not important how you guys think the fact is that you are but some scientists say that dealing with how it's contracted remains the key to its prevention than a check on our t. washington d.c. now president obama's urging the u.s. senate to pass an extension of benefits for unemployed americans he's criticizing republicans for attempting to block the bill and deny help to millions after years of championing policies that turned a record surplus into a massive deficit the same people who didn't have any problems spending hundreds of billions of dollars on tax breaks for the wealthiest americans are now saying we shouldn't offer relief to middle class americans like jim or leslie or denise who really need help. and the proposed bill expands the deadline for filing for
4:14 am
unemployment benefits to the end of november the move will cost thirty three billion dollars in additional deficit spending republicans are concerned about the expense and say any extension of benefits should be offset by spending cuts but some americans see the dispute as a political battle for power it's very obvious this is a situation where the government has to be proactive to try to stimulate the economy and to try to generate jobs and they haven't been doing a very great job of it so you can say well they shouldn't do anything but i don't see how that's going to lead to a recovery of our economy and neither do most economists around the world the problem is that there's an ego logical group among the republicans and some other economists who feel that you know obama cannot have any victories he cannot be able to claim that he did anything positive so they are just the party of no they will vote against everything he proposes because he's proposing it and this is the problem that the democrats are facing it's masked as an economic debate but it
4:15 am
really is and it's a political difference at its core the same republicans who are moaning about the deficit and the dead are also favoring tax cuts for the richest americans so they don't have to pay any taxes at all and the government can't generate any income their real philosophy is quote starve the beast try to make it impossible for government to function and serve the public and they're not very interested in lower income americans of people they in pain and in poverty there they had dinner fly with the richest americans and that's why this is become a class battle not just a political battle if you want to cut the budget you want to really deal with the deficit you have to cut military spending and that's something the republicans for the most part are not interested in doing with the exception perhaps of ron paul so everybody is making selective arguments to build their area logical case but the
