abdulrahim used to put people behind bars for doing drugs now he's been put there himself but the former army commander denies the charges he insists he never swayed on the white side of the law. we saw a truck driving on the main road something made me suspicious and i checked out the cargo we found our car tax heroin in some drugs but what for him claims he didn't expect to find a driver who told authorities he was involved in drug smuggling. by himself is guarded by another policeman if. he's been taking drugs since he was twelve and went for treatment only recently after the prison warden found out he's in good company according to recent u.s. congress report nearly half the afghan police are doing drugs well. when i graduated as a policeman as i was doing i kept quiet about for about two years although the other policeman here knew about it quite

are not very good that you get it and they don't have enough so there are a lot joining to produce truth out of the people joining the police to solve them sir but the ministry of cantona cottage insists it's now got a hold on the problem before the police can become a police he get tested he will have certain tests before coming to before going through the exercise or are becoming a police sergeant. this is something that has been developed an army level but questions remain what if some of those fighting afghanistan's drug war are actually foot soldiers for the other side and with the many challenges the country faces doesn't really have the resources to tackle the corruption within its ranks inside these four wars as a snapshot of the problems facing afghan society telep members drug traffickers and

authorities fear a legal judgment on a religious site will spark massive unrest the high court has to roll whether the land in the ancient town of ayodhya belongs to muslims or hindus it's a historic dispute that has already taken thousands of lives as current saying reports. an uneasy rests on the streets of new york here the battleground for them in defeat legal showdown in those considered a two week a plot of land the secret birthplace of more drama a hindu god but previously it was an islamic mosque that stood here until in one thousand nine hundred two a hindu mob destroyed it that and the anti muslim riots that followed remain a brought on india's image as a secular country since then the government has resisted attempts to build a temple or a mosque on the disputed site and now there are fears that riots will follow but that the court supports the claims of hindus or muslims and that angers a youth has residents of all faiths because they feel trouble is usually for

granted by outsiders and i think that that might get in the entire muslim community here wants peace whatever the verdict is whoever the man goes to we are ready to make sceptics for so many years political parties have used the religious sentiments of people to create trouble and gain votes we will not let them succeed this time. there's a real desire for a quick decision to allow people to get on with their lives shopkeeper. says his sales are down because pilgrims are staying the way it's covered with upper limb pick to cement this is a temple town and if people don't visit because of trouble or increased security i can sell them my goods how can i survive like this. many analysts insist the india of two thousand and ten is different from the india of nine hundred ninety two and both people and political parties will show restraint. most indians have moved on from the divisive politics of religion to the more pressing issues of jobs and

livelihoods satisfy people here. the government should let the verdict come out whoever it may be if it favors the hindus that our muslim brothers should not mind it they should accept it peacefully as a decision of the court and if it favors the muslims then my hindu brother should also accept it gracefully. whatever the verdict this will not be the end of the judicial process as the losing side is certain to appeal to india's supreme court nevertheless this is an opportunity for the people to showcase an inclusive india of the twenty first century where the rule of law is followed and where religious bigotry has no please god and seeing. new delhi coming up in the program here in our team battling was the authorities find out why can't the thousands of protesters across europe are angry at their governments. and why being buried alive can make you mentally stronger. major media

outlets at the un general sam would gather to cover speeches from world leaders last week but when the biggest countries the left the show so did the media leading other nations to talk to an empty room artist marina court not found out just who was listening. an international circus of political power. public stress for new yorkers. reporters secret service and barricades three signs of world leaders are crammed inside one building for the annual united nations general assembly debate. this diplomatic gathering provides more than one hundred ninety countries an opportunity to promote their foreign policy agenda but generally it's always the same voices now is the time to build the trust dominating the states and identifying those responsible in the september eleventh attacks journalists flew in from all over the world to cover this seven day event with people who have endured too much more but once the richest and strongest finished

pledging their promises. the press prematurely concluded their coverage people don't hear. them so i think your book. would say what. you know about the. mainstream media pull the plug on this international story friday evening with more than one hundred and twenty nations yet to speak by live trucks that most police presence nations like palestine congo in mongolia were left addressing half empty our torrijos by monday when cuba's spoke of suffering under us and forgoes camera outside the un along to a tourist between two thousand and twenty five hundred journalists were accredited at the un for the general assembly debates and when u.s. president barack obama was here the room i'm standing in was packed when he laughed he took all the media attention with him now only a handful of journalists are left to report about all the other countries that are

addressing the international body the poorest leaders took to the podium campaigning for climate change and the scene inside the un media center spoke volumes less than ten reporters. and garbage cans overflowing with recycled rubbish . today also reflects that the u.n. certainly doesn't draw as much attention. you know global governance seems to have so many challenges to address. to some send a lot of difficulties addressed in those challenges the first maybe garnering respect from its host country nearly seventy percent of americans think the u.n. does a lousy job in solving global problems maybe they should move it somewhere else maybe governor's island where nobody would be affected by you know. inconvenience for everyone however most of the world criticizes americans for neglecting to understand local problems we only know what we hear we don't know exactly what's

going on. i know that's good or bad i mean. we should know we surely should be you know the same for everyone if not the united nations may remain a place where everyone continues to talk and neglects to listen up or not you know party new york. this year has seen its fair share of natural disasters from a destructive earthquake in haiti wildfires in russia to massive floods in pakistan but countries should not be alone of fighting these catastrophes as russia's emergencies minister tells us a little later. of course we analyze all our work we exchange experience and advice with our western colleagues i would like everyone to realize that such disasters are not nation specific catastrophes know no borders customs nationalities or religion this is perhaps the most important lesson we should learn from this situation we should learn to consolidate our efforts to join forces to give

a helping hand to each other and to do our job efficiently and that's a very nice. now watch our full interview with russia's emergencies minister in an hour here on our team tens of thousands of people have marched across europe outraged at their government's decision to impose a stare the measures to pay off massive debts brussels saw the largest rally around the e.u. had quaters demonstrators carrying balloons banners and blowing whistles people around you were appalled at the government sure steve jobs wages and pensions trade unions expressed fury that workers had to pay for the bank's mistakes and warned that a staring measures could lead to even more unemployment david campbell bannerman member of the european parliament blames the euro for most of the continent's current economic troubles. i think the euro is teetering on the edge this is a manifestation of it this is a massive problem and you can throw hundreds of billions that it is trying to do

but it's beyond that i mean the real underlying problem is you're trying to force together all these different types of column is some a doing very well others a very weak and you cannot force them together under one common currency called the euro the euro's the problem it's just unsustainable this as a say you know they're throwing hundreds of billions of euros that's it and the germans are paying through the nose and you know the majority of germans now want to leave the euro and that's conceivable that we recreate all the national currency is for certain strong currencies leave all that we currently want all the other. fifteen suspected militants have been killed in two separate counter terror operations in russia's southern republican done ten of the killed terrorists were sealed off in a private house relatives of the militants were asked to persuade them to surrender but the insurgents opened fire instead there are no casualties among the police and authorities believe two terror acts were foiled it's the biggest number of

step increases pressure on these lawmakers public as tension rises over its nuclear ambitions. a landslide in southern mexico has left at least twelve people dead more than a dozen others are missing and some houses are completely destroyed blocked roads in the area are making it difficult for rescue teams to search for survivors if ol straw pickle storms which batter the country's eastern and southern regions last month. now one group in russia has come up with an unusual method to fight stress and the depression they are burying people alive the organizers of this extreme treatment claim twenty minutes in a fresh grave might change your mind on many things in life i bet when to try the remedy. above ground there are a few signs of life below the surface a man trapped with his greatest fear is pavel has just been buried alive for twenty minutes not torture but extreme therapy. oh fantastic it

feels much better on to that song but on the ground. the first time pavel's anxiety got the better of him now he says he can handle the pressure but. the first thing you experience is panic once your face is covered with dirt you start tasting us and thinking what the hell am i doing down here or do you want to come down to simply no other place like these these are the grave digging therapists modeling the burials on an ancient form of self in light and practice by shamans they wanted to make the rights more accessible believing everyone can benefit. this is the most effective and powerful method overcome an internal problems person can neither see nor hear anything nor even move underground they have no other option but to delve deep inside their minds. a burial costs you around one hundred sixty dollars attracting both men and women from students to fifty something professionals all

aiming to suffocate their worries a full day's psychological training claims to prepare them for the fears they will face and. that's the most comic conditions can be subconscious uncontrollable there are different ways to overcome them working with mental images rhythm breathing there isn't a ray of means for a person to subdue their fear but we teach them the more that control of. the maximum burial is forty minutes beyond that the mind struggles to cope with the lack of physical function the day thirty centimeters any deeper and the pressure would be too great to stand once under the volunteers briefly this cheat the organizers a ten year veteran of living burials and says this shouldn't be tried at home. but are we have to be able to get the person not very fast and also contact them earth for us to be distributed in a certain way across the body so that the key joints or pressurized you can

practice burials without knowing about these things. until now i didn't think i suffered from any cost a phobia and that could soon change because i'm going to try this for myself now me given this to breathe through which i'm told by me monitoring at all times so hard to stop and all i have to do is make a noise so here we go. well they've started to fill in my grave as it were yet this feels very very strange the story is very cold and also heavy i'm doing all right at the moment but i think it's going to get a lot more scary and i was right five minutes after being buried alive i was very ready to see the light of day again. was one of the weirdest experiences of my life i felt completely trapped and i'm definitely never doing that again advantage r.t.

hello and welcome to the program got to have you with us while europe is facing a multi-year aslaug out of the economic crisis emerging markets are attracting more attention from investors but they be able to grow well but will be able to be able to grow in the event of a sharp slowdown in the developed economies that they have tried to find out. in the months leading up to the summer holiday season europe was gripped by fear that it would be overwhelmed by do that there was much talk of greece rial and really spain defaulting on their bonds this opened up the bleak scenario of the euro zone collapsing and dragging down the world economy just as it was recovering from recession but a bailout package and investor started to focus their attention on the other big problem the precarious state of the u.s. economy over the summer what happened was that the market started focus very much

so europe markets will not be able to sustain that growth why do was say that is that because of a large share of trade and capital flows still a lengths to the u.s. and europe and therefore you know that in so regional trade in the merger markets are still very small and therefore if the demand in the u.s. or europe tanks completely then the emerging markets will no longer be able to export a big chunk of their goods will see a freeze up on the in the trade exchange and therefore slow down and grows. in short the merger you can't do not have the consumers to decouple they will not make it alone but given the moon will dry out look whether you are soon europe can sustain some growth in the emerging markets. this is clearly what many investors are expecting and is likely to be reflected by money flowing toward the new markets . business r.t. . have moody's investor service lowered spain's top credit rating by one notch with
