drive. just as expected they have going to president hamid karzai backtracked on his accusations regarding the russian participation in a joint trial lateral counter-narcotics operation in southern afghanistan however backtracking is not enough. to exonerate his image and close association as an official top lobbyist for going to drag. now he has a unique opportunity to lead the way be the afghan counter-narcotics police in helmand anaconda har and thus to prove he is relevance as the genuine leader of afghanistan and to lead that aerial and airborne assault on the poppy fields. afghanistan

can prove for they regular afghans that after all i mean i could make a total reverse from being an official top political cover for the drug lords to genuine military leader of afghanistan who could also take full responsibility in a new counter-narcotics and maybe later counter corruption campaign in his own country. and a brief look at some other international news this hour on the pakistani taliban has claimed responsibility for the country's deadliest suicide bombing since july friday's attack on a mosque in the northwest killed sixty seven people and left over eighty wounded the sunni mosque was used by local and televangelist ship hundreds of worshippers gathered there for friday prayers the holiest of the wee hours later three people died in a grenade attack on another mosque in the same part of the country. thousands of

offer of the finest of siberian nature tests are still you enjoy the pleasures of the wilderness. the tomsk region in southwestern siberia has long been known to be rich in oil and gas and the local economy has been linked with oil and gas and other related industries for quite some time but the local economy has a new growing and developing sector and that involves the collection the gathering of the processing of while growing natural products such as berries mushrooms and pine nuts there are some companies that do invest in the processing of these products and was very interesting here is that this is really growing in the wild so people here can just go to the forests and go gather that themselves and the results they get of course depends on how much they gather i am in the heart of what really is the perfect example of that lush greenery of that rich forestry that make up such an abundant natural resource for the toms it has over a million hectares of agricultural land and more than half the territory is covered

with poorest. people in collecting pine forest families children young people. can collect for your own consumption or you can sell them at a good price there are people as business. it's estimated that picking and processing different kinds of wild produce provides an income for as many as one hundred fifty thousand local inhabitants those who gather can sell them to companies that process them like this one. is the first stage of what processing is to get. together to special stations where people bring them there is a huge potential here which needs to be realised pine cones wild mushrooms and a wide variety of berries are there for the picking almost ninety percent of what's picked is processed here the death of our company processes wild berries we store frozen berries in industrial facilities and process them into different kinds of jams from

a taste of the sweet fruits of the wild to taste of the rough side of the siberian wilderness. we patrol the surrounding forests the folly here is quite diverse you can spot spears slinks and sables in winter he can hunt moves but chasing them on skis as for bears they can only be hunted in their dance in winter the rangers spend a month at a time in the thick of the forest and in order to survive while they're there hunting for food has become part of their daily routine. no bears this time but there was certainly no shortage of birds. come on urban people are just not suited to all this it takes no one in the most habits in being a good child to be a successful hunter well i'm no good at either of those so i tried my hand at fishing instead it didn't take us very long to experience the extreme conditions the siberian wilderness throws your way but if you know how to work with nature and to work hard at your survival you'll find that it has plenty to offer so that let's

talk a bit more about this industry with andre who is joining us right now thank you very much for joining us now you just tell us a bit more about this industry in talks. first of all in terms of it's a sport because half of the people in the city by and sees on these. they go collecting berries or mushrooms i personally hate collecting berries but collecting mushrooms is for a lot of fun the forest is right and it's not very far to go so you just go there and collect whatever you find it's yours the forest is for everybody this stuff doesn't grow where you want it to it grows where it wants to so you must find it and bring it and then of course there is an industry which does it for money only four percent of what grows is actually collected so there's a vase for the industry to grow you know to what extent do you think it's going to grow we can speak of millions of dollars we can all speak about hundreds of

millions of dollars it will never be the primary industry or even close to that but it may be very. substantial over industry. this time i think it grows but don't forget it also depends on the harvest so we are very much interested in that and i guess i can say we welcome investment all right well thank you very much for that they're well all right so the a collection and the process to go while growing natural products is a developing sector industry as a drain. had rightly said and when you just go into the forests and go to the villages what you can really see is the involvement of the people that go out there and collected themselves i guess right now that is what's most interesting about this sector and to where it's going to be going in the future will again depend on nature. because are sillier importing there are now coming up right after the business news this weeks moscow looks at russian bread baking and brewing of the

traditional drink or us how well tasting and so. well it would be brewed to try some. of the out. for red card from paris designs the protections in place when it comes to right here in russia that might make them see a preview of a part of the. brain is up to date and next we've got all the latest business news go away. hello and a very warm welcome to the business news with me you are

economy this was a victory on the court which is main priority when he became ukraine's president less than a year on experts say this goal has been somewhat successful in twenty jan the country has seen a six percent growth in g.d.p. compared with the disastrous decline last year and this came partially due to less spending on imported natural resources the created economy has successfully passed through the crisis the cheap gas price from russia. to the gas price by minister mr. crean will have a price which will be a little bit. to see below which is one of the last in europe but despite the positive trends key of still seems to be relying on the fifteen billion dollar loan from the international monetary fund borrowed two years ago by the previous administration under viktor yushchenko the funds delegation has

a right to kiev to assess whether the new government is fulfilling the loans obligations some of which are deeply unpopular among the people i met delineations see some progress compared to the. work in two thousand and eight in two thousand and crane finally has significant raising the prices for. house hold plus fifty percent which was very negative for the political. regions and the president they did it another sticking point is spent in reform namely raising the pension age which is required by the i.m.f. but not favored by the general population but is it all worth the effort economists believe that ukraine does not require more funding badly enough and the whole force is more about the country's image problem.

russian. then so but apart from that the government doesn't need much from the i.m.f. but who you could not only monny is important but the signal to government is doing right since the loan is split in several crunchers and should this one go ahead it will become the second part of the loan and will amount to a little over one billion us dollars the delegation says it will reveal its verdict no earlier than november the fifteenth experts have little doubt that this time the i.m.f. delegation will say yes to another drive of money for ukraine the question is whether they will be as optimistic the next time inspectors come to kiev in february twenty seventh alexey russia for business today from key of ukraine and russia may. be the largest alliance ever created with its domestic market brain or needs and wants to expand its ownership of us to a controlling stake with
