thank you. no again this is own see a quick check of the headlines. counting has begun in the previous times parliamentary elections with tight security for a vote which it's hoped will bring peace to the troubled country and which has implications for central asian neighbors to the presidential role will be giving more power to enemies as the country strives to become the fattest bottom then true democracy in the region. united in grief six months on the brush on poland mourn the april plane crash that killed mining to six people on board including the

late polish president. also this week marks nine years since u.s. troops and today got its start in the so-called war against terror but some say some american soldiers spoke fueling the flames of violence as well as a ton of fun. and staying with afghanistan the country remains the world's largest exporter of opium with over a third of its ending up in russia russia's counter-narcotics changed even off explain to you just why the war on drugs is not being. today we're talking to the head of russia's dog 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 heroin 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 of ghana stan 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 tonnes 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 so what about the main mode of transportation of the drugs could you talk about the roads or the countries through which the drug trade flows into russia. 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 a borders it's very easy for traffickers to transport drugs the biggest part of drugs flows through you can 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 the. americans in afghanistan say that they cannot eradicate most of the poppy 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. 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 crops are destroyed in colombia annually you don't need 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 is a political declaration on drug control that the un 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 by the way all countries including nato countries signed that resolution so i can't understand why nato was and 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

a 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 near 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 destroying drug production there growing alternative crops is a risky proposition of the risks are immense you can lose your profit any station opium on the other hand does not require any effort coffee grows 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 crocker 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 one hundred 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 stand 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 countries and their people suffer the most. and finally considering that pakistan is still under rather heavy in 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. 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 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. imagine your life big city. crystal clear water. organic. living in harmony with nature. sounds impossible.

after winning the japanese grand prix from pole on sunday 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 that told me red bull want to finish with over 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 a lone zone with style points with the tail third and three races remain but this season start which was obviously the key from the clean side and you could see 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 was 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 or bernie ecclestone sounds of a deal is ready and just needs to be signed by britain adding he is in the country's chiefs are the track won't be in the moscow region on a ghost so she with a twenty fourteen start date. that's the same was 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 u.s. dollars have to price tag with the country also in the running to host the twenty eight world football finals. all to move to g.p. now. defending champion valentino rossi not his first win since the opening day of
