the past week stories the war in afghanistan enters its tenth year and u.s. military history this year is already the deadliest for nato troops in a decade of complete. almost a decade of conflict in afghanistan it remains the world's largest exporter of opium with a third of it ending up in russia russia's counter-narcotics chief explained to auntie just why the war on drugs is not being won that's a special interview next. today we're talking to the head of russia's drug control service and mr pena thank you very much for joining us today first off let's talk about afghanistan afghanistan is the number one producer all opiates in the world when we talk about the transfer of the drugs to russia what kind of amounts of drugs are we talking about. afghanistan produced about seven thousand tons of opium last year which is

equivalent to seven hundred tons of hair when we believe that about thirty six of these tons end up in russia that's a lot about five billion doses and it's about thirty five percent of all drugs exported from afghanistan because in fact afghanistan exports less than half of the drugs it produces as drug addicts throughout the world are unable to consume everything that comes out of afghanistan so afghanistan stores a huge amount of drugs russia and other countries estimate it's about thirteen to fifteen thousand tons of opium so even if drug production stops in afghanistan the country will still be able to supply the international market with heroin for another twenty or even thirty years. what about the main mode of transportation of the drugs could you talk about the roads or the countries to which the drug trade flows into russia we're going to start over us you there is the northern route which is sometimes called the northern silk route after the seventeenth century

trade route the reason the silk route is popular is because after the collapse of the soviet union munitions are merged and while their borders exist on paper in reality they're not even properly guarded so essentially there are no effective borders between afghanistan and russia with such poor as borders it's very easy for traffickers to transport drugs the biggest part of drugs flows through stand and kazakstan and onward to russia another part goes through iran across the caspian sea and the caucasus ridge and ends up. north caucasus or deeper in russia's territory by the way this provides a source of financing for terrorists and extremists in russia's caucasus because they. are the americans that have vanished and say that they cannot eradicate most of the puppy fields because a lot of danni's depend on their livelihood on these fields by producing the opiates what can be done about this is their solution to the problem. when the us

says you cannot deprive farmers of their livelihood it actually sends a message to the afghan leadership as well saying they shouldn't do it because first this will destroy people's livelihood and second you push farmers into the hands of the taliban i think this is merely an excuse furthermore since u.s. special representative for central asia richard holbrooke first suggested this idea that instead of eradicating drug crops the u.s. should target drug labs and traffickers which was almost a year ago the number of labs producing drugs for russia has tripled a year ago we knew about one hundred seventy labs in afghanistan today we know of more than four hundred laps of producing drugs for russia for some reason it doesn't seem possible for nato to get rid of the poppy fields in afghanistan and yet at the same time it seems that they're quite successful or not necessarily nato but it has been proven that getting rid of for example plants in colombia can be quite successful so are we not talking about it this double standards here where

they can solve the problem in one country and can not solve the problem in another country for some reason. or another because when i visited the nato headquarters in brussels to address the russian nato council i pointed out that more than two thousand three hundred square kilometers of coca crop are destroyed in colombia annually you get only twenty square kilometers of drug crops were destroyed in afghanistan last year of course there should be no double standard in the matter of eradication furthermore the un general assembly has a. dr a number of resolutions on the issue for example there was a political declaration on drug control that the u.n. general assembly dubbed it in one thousand nine hundred eight in september two thousand and nine the un general assembly reaffirmed that declaration and said proper education was of strategic importance but why the way all countries including nato countries signed that resolution so i can't understand why nato isn't applying the same standard that is applied in latin america does this not

seem to be a paradox that when afghanistan was under the control of the taliban the production was significantly lower than it is now and it has risen dramatically after the us invasion nine years ago what what is the problem how is this fitting into the picture and the statements that nato is trying to fight the drug trade in afghanistan in your opinion is noted. you're right i had a meeting with my pakistani colleagues here in islamabad and they too were amazed at this phenomenon there's only one way to explain it when the taliban sought official recognition for its kabul regime they took on president of measures to eradicate oppy and poppy crops they consistently took serious steps in one nine hundred ninety eight nine hundred ninety nine and two thousand when they introduced capital punishment for poppy cultivation as a result they succeeded in a radical drug crop on ninety percent of afghanistan's territory all the provinces they controlled the only place they couldn't do it was in northern afghanistan

which was controlled by the so-called northern alliance but then operation enduring freedom began and the situation changed drastically only a competent government that has the support of the people can really control the country and take serious steps to destroy drug production how can we talk about the military solution to the problem when most of the poppy fields in afghanistan are located there in areas of the most intense fighting or where foreign military personnel are stationed where where is this listen to that. david. the nine years of the military operation in afghanistan have demonstrated that the more fighting there is in the country the smaller the chances are of destroying drug production they're growing alternative crops is a risky proposition of the risks are immense if you can lose your profit any station or opium on the other hand does not require any effort. all by itself and buyers come straight to the field and purchase the crop so it's obvious that you

can destroy drug production this way the russian federation has developed a plan just called rainbow two because it consists of seven points we presented this plan to the european commission the european parliament nato our partners in the us in afghanistan and here in pakistan the plan calls for a comprehensive approach first of all this huge problem should be officially recognized as a threat to international peace and security in other words this is a separate problem that kills more than one hundred thousand people each year hundreds of millions of people suffer from this problem which everyone has been talking about for almost a decade second as i just said we need to eradicate opium poppy and the international security assistance force which is in afghanistan today under the un mandate and therefore has assumed responsibility for the future of afghanistan should play very active role in our medicating the crockery then of course afghanistan needs economic eight we need to rebuild its infrastructure by the way

the legal afghan economy today operates mostly thanks to the hundred and forty two industrial facilities that the soviet union built there as far as i'm aware no new facilities have been built there since that time also we need to make international cooperation more effective i'd like to emphasize particularly the role of regional cooperation for example there's a four party format that the presidents of four nations russia afghanistan pakistan and edges than have established also i think that the shanghai cooperation organization. should step up its efforts because most of the drugs produced in afghanistan and up in this field countries and their people suffer the most. and finally considering that pakistan is still under a rather heavy influence from the united states can we talk about washington possibly playing a negative role in the fight against drug trade or a positive role in your opinion was it but you started this week in the pakistan is a sovereign state and a rather strong one at that there are one hundred seventy million people living

there pakistan is a nuclear power so i think there's nothing wrong with the fact that pakistan cooperates with the us we to view the united states as a partner and we work with america as partners it is just a question of finding the most effective approach we don't have time for mistakes and we have no right to make a mistake. thank you very much for taking your time out of your day to join us thank you i. want to take. a simple trade present high production.

it was an action packed race to go with accidents aplenty including four russian hopeful vitali could crawl over in norfolk crashed out on the very first lap and at the end of it all it was a tell the let me read you want to finish with mark webber in second fernando alonso who was seeking a third straight victory walked onto the final podium place in the overall driver's standings webber now holding fourteen point advantage over. points with. three races to remain. which was obviously the key from the clean side and you could see a robot it was we've got a bit of momentum but the way down to turn one was too short for him and then with the safety car which stayed out quite quite long obviously with the incident with could be car but then after that i think both of us were able to pull away from the field and then just controlling the pace some to the end there was a little bit of a rest behind jenson because we couldn't really go through him so we had to wait

until he pits but after that just. incredible so really really happy and it's about time. meanwhile russia looks to be on the brink of lending its first f one race the sport's supreme of bernie ecclestone says the deal is ready and just needs to be signed they britain and he is of the countries chiefs are the track won't be in the moscow region that owner goes to so she with a twenty fourteen start date. that's the same the city plays host to the winter olympics however money could be the stumbling block the license to host an f one race is expected to cost russia no less than fourteen million dollars half the price tag with the country also in the running to host the twenty eight world football finals. to move to g.b. now where defending champion balancing their all say not just his first win since the opening day of the season but that didn't stop or he'll around so from securing his first overall title with one race still to go all the spaniard only needed

a top ten finish in malaysia to inherit the crown from his teammate rossi of course missed a good part of the season with a leg injury leaving joel says lorenzo's serious rival but he went down with a broken collarbone during last week's japanese grand prix maybe the profiteer for his fellow spaniard process started six slowed down to both but worked his way back up and into the lead on the round so seemed happy to settle for a top three finish making rossi and andrea quiet for it with a dog that snatching the victory. by him so i have been have to thank you all my team for the great job you have to thank you for these a seventy anyway and i come to defeated by one and they have two going to meet your good for the championship. so is it going to be an end in the future we would be fighting i was really pleased to be in the middle. and.
