great britain then usa within a year they'll start withdrawing their troops from afghanistan despite almost there are reports of attacks there an increasing number of victims in this country how do you think it's because eyes government able to control the situation without foreign support. it's obvious that cause i's administration is a puppet government managed by occupation forces that this administration is corrupted or it isn't supported by the local population but the withdrawal dates were sent twenty eleven and the end of twenty fourteen initially those dates were determined after president obama's so-called afghan strategic policy was announced were included several points greasing the presence of u.s. forces and that is the u.k. in afghanistan you can preventing programs for winning members of taliban over to their side and building up afghan forces we see today however that these programs

aren't working with the taliban movement has been seizing more control over the territory afghan armed forces remain in official american and allied forces keep losing more so we wonder whether this policy would result in stabilizing the situation. how does the situation in afghanistan in fact stability in central asia are used. to if there are two factors which strongly affect the situation in the region or drug trafficking in terrorism through a number of politicians in the west and in russia also have until recently seriously believe that the presence of the us and allied troops in afghanistan is good including for russia because the united states and their allies are fighting drug trafficking and terrorism i always prefer giving concrete facts in october two thousand and nine the united nation states in a very professional and comprehensive report absolutely clearly at the time u.s. troops went to afghanistan no drugs were cultivated in the. taliban controlled

areas were an absolute record in this respect eight thousand two hundred tons was set in two thousand and seven after the us troops had rived in afghanistan if you comment here a second in that report mr costa the deputy special representative to the united nations secretary general who's also the head of the un office on drugs and crime said the drugs were not the biggest problem can you imagine it given the fact that thirty or forty thousand russians were nearly dying of drug abuse today these figures a much higher europe also has a high death toll from drugs and terrorism well before the u.s. troops came to afghanistan we had absolutely no trustworthy information about the taliban participation in raids in the territories or central asian states. in one thousand nine. thousand that's the only country we know that those militants infiltrated from the territory if you started to where they'd come from northern afghanistan or which at that time was being controlled by the northern alliance and

a u.s. ally against the taliban regime. in july and august on another central asian country was hit by massive ethnic clashes with hundred stat is there any danger that we could could see a repeat. of the you know back in april i warned about this kind of scenario for southern star which rest of all the situation in southern kyrgyzstan had been intensively destabilized the second into ethnic tensions are also high in that region and southern regions of open to that part of. it which borders on afghanistan and that is also open war with so those who want to stage provocations and heats up the situation can easily attract militants. so they will all preconditions for the outbreak of violence but the world community it was pretty much past now we're talking about a death toll of two thousand and huge number of injured simply because center ocean has been destroyed what's the worst. preconditions for further tensions remain but

they haven't vanished into ethnic tension remains and still there are people interested in kindling ethnic tension preconditions should be eliminated now there are plans to send fifty two policemen. who are supposed to do something that will but what can fifty two unarmed men do. is not if anything happens to these women orders will be given to bring in armed units to start with who's going to send military units there of course it's nato as a u.s. military base in a french air base and a one hundred fifty four thousand nato military contingent in afghanistan with more of the problem if that happens we will witness a very interesting situation that will resemble the one in kosovo by the way at the end of last year the u.s. senate held hearings on the situation in central asia of course five of that report described as a failed state which might disintegrate and the threat of active western

interference according to the cost of a scenario is realistic but many in code to stand don't want to that to happen they would be welcomed russian troops and meet them with bread and salt but in no way the western ones this is a very serious contradiction which may lead to serious consequences. does days ago thousands of secret pentagon documents were leaked to the public why it happened to think. obviously there are political groups who raise the question of the ineffectiveness of u.s. troops intelligence and other services in afghanistan and right now they deliberately dwelling on the war in afghanistan in detail to explain that it's useless they've spent over four hundred billion dollars one american soldier costs one million dollars a year so they spend one hundred billion dollars directly on soldiers apart from other expenses which are high as well and the result is actually nothing you think that's why they start raising such questions and giving. to various documents

relating to the issue. that probably the u.s. secret service is. wary about us if so why hasn't he been captured or killed. but he's a person who knows a lot closer to work together with the cia with saudi arabian intelligence you think it was acquainted with the head of saudi arabian intelligence that. he has great knowledge of many contacts on into agency intelligence closely works with the u.s. intelligence if i might be so that somebody is interested in his presence in this place america to say that they fight against al qaeda in pakistan and afghanistan but the u.n. reports that in afghanistan there are less than three hundred al qaeda members in comparison with the one hundred fifty four thousand u.s. personnel and according to our information they are no more than one hundred people perhaps even less if you understand what this means when there are one hundred or

three hundred terrorists against the one hundred fifty four thousand army for the symbol should remain otherwise there is a question are they doing. one of these thing is major political global events was signing a new start treaty between russia and the u.s. how do you think how will. an american senate. parts they've been hearings in the state duma and the foreign affairs committee of the united russia and the fair russia party support the treaty the liberal democratic party is against it they have a weak argument it's their choice the communists are in doubts and tend to be against it too but all the same we're gathering votes but in the end it depends on the outcome in america of course there are opponents of this treaty who is sure that it does not comply with the u.s. interests let's now turn to another part of the planet north korea which can.

between u.s. and south kareen wynter forces i have threatened to respond how do you think how dangerous is the situation on the korean peninsula. north korea would have been destroyed long ago if they did not have ten or twelve warheads nobody knows whether they have them or not for sure but it's enough for military containment for both south korea and america that's why they're holding the exercise there i know little about the north korean regime but i definitely know that it's very archaic and more dangerous it's sort of a mixture of the middle ages with the pseudo marxist slogans of this regime is dangerous for the entire world and in my opinion that's the regime we should take for all kinds of sanctions against makes dangerous to threaten them with weapons because we cannot predict their reaction and they also have a several million strong army which can cross the border and this may lead to any number of consequences as an empire mauna kea power which could collapse at any moment to the world economy is slowly recovering in

a sleigh due to the economic growth in asia and especially in china how big do you think is beijing's role politics today the third of the work i want you said to be the locomotive for the world economy this is why there are a lot of things that depend on china we should give the chinese credit for having created over the last few decades a powerful economy that in addition to everything else is just around the corner from where we are politically i think the chinese are aimed at strengthening their economic might they're pursuing a very aggressive economic policy everywhere central asia africa and god knows where else even in afghanistan it's a case of expansion directed at grabbing raw material resources china is building up its power base to presumably they have one hundred nuclear warheads more than we believe they had it's a powerful army perspectively it's a very dangerous expansion prone state all of this is pointing to a possibility that sooner or later they're going to embark on. policy of an active

expansion it's dangerous for us to say that china is all strategic and it is one but in relation to that we should also have powerful forces of all right with a powerful economy and be ready for a show of strength and the question many russians and europeans have worried about how real a chance the free regime between the i think the e.u. is concerned of us having a visa free regime with certain central asian states drugs and a terrorist threat coming from this is why the europeans are wary but basically we should of course seek a visa free regime and it's realistic but we're realistic in the short term is anyone's guess if you were going to the school thank you very much simone for talking to. vote for bush. ads by one vote for kerry for

kerry so the people that are going to be validating this machine can stand there all day long and vote for somebody and it will be right every time but the guy can walk up here and if he hits the right button. they can flip the.

the games in february which reports. russia's in the middle of a heat wave but at least there's been some response of the country speed skaters have had a luxury of training in much cooler confines how were those plenty of work to be done even with the start of a new season months away and especially for new head coach constantine paul diverts who's got the job of trying to make russia a force again into sports this. is in my view the problems with russian speed skating have been purely psychological we've lost that winning mentality during the soviet union and even at the turn of the millennium we were always winning but unfortunately this isn't happening anymore and i think it has a lot to do with the psychological state of our sportsman pulled over here and certainly has some pretty great behind him he's worked with the dutch team one of the world's best and coaches lympics champions like spain crema i need involved now he's turning his attention to russia and the country's top speed skater they certainly don't mind to deny his appointments both of us years ago should get

experience has experience in the best country in the world for peacekeeping i mean the good ones so who are of sniffed up skier if they swim across. young boys. and now we need to change our mind. to work in this new program if international coverage because we don't have a very strong girls they need before you need to go to bed make a better call or he need the government six in the morning to head the cereal you must be a professional so. and i think he must teach us how to be professionals school but it is a prime example of how low the level of speed skating is reached in russia in the twenty seven year old who won silver and bronze in vancouver trained in italy with four million big champion enrico fabrice in the run up to the games as he's offered him a much higher level of coaching however scuppered of sands he's going to come back to russia to train falling poll diving at some point months and i will follow russian team and i will follow prosperity promises to my president the new president russia is getting a lot of serious stuff so. i'll try to follow and they will try to help myself to

state foster of course the russian coach and before the russian stuff for russian guys for us national team constantine pope time here to once competed for the us his son has a tough job on his hands he says there's plenty of potential but now it's all about working to try and turn that potential into gold medals come to sochi olympics in four years time which mum hopefully donte moscow. and that's all the sport for this person i think.
