5:08 pm
debt growing the country's economic potential needed to be growing today. that with wind one of its only strong export products and a lack of investment in areas that will generate. government will have no way of paying back what. we think it will be very difficult to cover such large payments from the state budget and the country may have to refinance the debt meaning it will have to take even more money from international organizations and partner countries so just what have they been spending all that money on. well the new bridge for starters which kashdan at an estimated six million dollars. then there's the presidential palace is snazzy need glass dame which guess is between twenty one . million dollars. and a number of other controversial projects including a glass monument and a raid which totaled two hundred nine million dollars. the glass buildings which
5:09 pm
were symbols dreamed up by president saakashvili to portray a new chance parents government now see clearly ironic. expensive. to spend this money broach this is really say this is really a fraud. to be held accountable for the. decision in carrying such large debts to the country has also done little to improve the conditions of the population. such. as be. held to expenditure so. expenditures have. been really. economists say this
5:10 pm
foreign debt is now one of the most serious problems facing the country the georgian government say they've used the money to rebuild the country and forge a bright future that for taxpayers that it seems carries a multi-million pound price tag that bell be paying off for a long time to come so fast. moscow's traffic is infamous with millions of drivers spending hours and daily gridlock a rapidly growing capital where almost everyone owns a car is compounding the situation but the new mayor has a raft of plans to tackle the problem leaving muscovites hopeful for a solution before the city does come to a complete hold over. the time when moscow streets was base empty is long gone nowadays the city's traffic jams on a tory as the city has become so congested the problem has been given a top priority at a top level the ministers of the mess plan has sim good points if at least half of
5:11 pm
them realize they have found to be fewer traffic jams. that could save a cabbie like yaroslav up to three hours per day going nowhere at the time he would no longer spend breathing in exhaust fumes would. of course you won't get a heart attack from one traffic jam co-edit if it several times a day for many hours add that to other adverse factors and your body will wear out so much faster the problem was born in the one nine hundred seventy s. and eighty's when many of moscow's major roads were planned back then hardly anyone imagined a moscow family owning two or even three cars. despite all recent efforts the speed of traffic has been dropping you know on year experts blame it primarily on a severe shortage of space junk on us for in moscow over the past fifty years but the amount of road building was far from fast enough can you believe that we have three times fewer rights than in paris or. the lack of car parking forces drivers
5:12 pm
to ditch their cars on the sides of the already congested roads and this is the old way of tackling a problem the new man promises a different approach his draft plan suggests among others road widening tolls and removing most ground level pedestrian crossings public transport also faces a major overhaul slow a trolley buses will be chased out of the city center by foster alternatives russia's very n.g.'s glow now satellite system will also be used to monitor jams while traffic cops will be replaced by automatic. all these cameras and monitors only cover forty percent of the city far from enough say the police the system needs updating and modernizing none of which can happen without a serious injection of cold hard cash the mayor is now looking for ways to raise the billions of rubles needed for the changes not everyone though is happy with the
5:13 pm
scheme a suggestion to ban trucks from the city during daylight has sparked protest from their drivers not about the hardware which you don't turn should be for sleeping networking. people have rested night so should we. ironically the time saving move could end up costing people more retail companies in moscow claimed it would be impossible to deliver goods at night while replacing large cargo trucks with many smaller vans would trigger a surge in prices rather short the good guys don't drive through the city on their own will burn the nerves and petrol to to provide for moscow's every day life we hope they don't think being the trucks will mean heaven as follows because it won't . but most traffic experts agree the man's proposals are reasonable as long as it's not just a publicity stunt and the money is the problem for making scenes like this one

5:19 pm
a health care target you cation. that is what you're trying to do now with our friends british defense chief general sir david richards said that nato should prepare for another thirty forty years to stay in afghanistan which makes a mockery of their plans transition in two thousand and fourteen what do you think needs to change its strategy and do you think that strategy defeating the tribal opposition was right in the first place number one it's not a tribal position it is a fight against terrorism and extremism and the tribal chief in the tribal people of the first victim of the terrorism which are being killed every day. the date of two thousand and fourteen it's afghan proposal president karzai is a first degree speech in the second term said that afghanistan should take the responsibility of its own security starting by two thousand and eleven and if an issue by two thousand and fourteen that's been proposed and i dropped it in london
5:20 pm
and kabul conference by international community and that's been concretized and had that summit in lisbon that's a real things that afghanistan should be in the hands of afghans and the security of afghanistan is the responsibility of the afghans so starting by two thousand and eleven and finishing by two thousand and fourteen the afghan national security forces. will be in charge of security of canada and the remaining ports of international community need to or not will be supporting force not a fighting force how is the russian effort to help the russian effort to what to help the war effort perceived in kabul i think russia is a great country a great power in the world a great partner of afghanistan in the region and we seek the support and cooperation of russia for peace and security in afghanistan because the security in afghanistan the stability of afghanistan is not only for afghanistan it took effect
5:21 pm
disability and security of the region including russia so wonderful our product of our foreign policy the fight against terrorism and extremism and stability of afghanistan in the region is regional cooperation because the fight against terrorism and extremism is not only individual afghanistan it is a regional issue so if you cannot find a solution the additional solution for it will be in deep trouble because that will continue until the longest time sir you told the un general assembly and i quote you to complement our efforts towards eliminating poppy production we wish to see greater action to counter smuggling of precursors into our country and to reduce demand and consumption of drugs in other countries as of today over two and a half million russians are addicted to afghan heroin this is where mr why has your administration and your allies failed to tackle the poppy production first of all the poppy production in afghanistan have to result of thirty years of war and
5:22 pm
lawlessness and despair of the afghan people who do new tomorrow he's going to be a life or not you know security for their future. secondly when he came to our back to afghanistan in two thousand and eleven to two thousand and one two thousand and two don't have any institution to fight it no police no judicial system no army and in that will take time before you can put. in place but the fight that is not quite dick is also one of the priority of afghanistan because afghanistan will pay first for that suffer first before they are there will suffer from it and you're not taking the benefit of that because demand reduced by the traffickers will go outside afghanistan and not stay in afghanistan so definitely it is there it is a major fight that we are in a good conduct this fight cannot be done by afghanistan alone we need support of international community we need the support of the regions by enforcement of law
