albeit capable of managing security on its own in an interview with r.t.i. good foreign minister says it's time for the country to stand on its own two feet. afghan foreign minister so let us all thank you very much for being with us today my pleasure mr foreign minister when soviet forces withdrew from afghanistan you had been publishing air resistance journal for eighteen years what did you and your compatriots expect for your country's future back then was usually afghanistan wanted to be free independent and sovereign country to be friendly with its neighbors region and have his own destinies that are on her and that something that you wanted and that's something that the afghans always will how would you describe

the state of your nation as of today afghan people have been at war for the last thirty years since nine eleven two cards and one when international community came to afghanistan to liberate afghanistan from different of the taliban hope afghanistan is fierce in term of destroying just. the record for thirty years in the ward a country which solidly was a poor country has been completely destroyed so the challenges the hard rebuilding the country giving to normal life toward people are our children go to school to have a health care target you cation. that is what you're trying to do now would or friends british defense chief general sir david richards said that nato should prepare for another thirty forty years to stay in afghanistan which makes and mockery of that plan to transition in two thousand and fourteen why do you think nato 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 to try. chief in the tribal people of the first victim of terrorism which have been killed or to. date of two thousand and fourteen afghan proposal president karzai is the first in a good deal of 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 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 afghanistan and the remaining course of our technical community need to or not there will be supporting force not a fighting force how is the russian efforts to help the russian effort to what they help the war effort perceived in kabul i think russia is a great country a great power in the world is 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 disability and security of the region including russia so wonderful are a 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 is nato presence threatening your internal security in relations to your immediate neighbors who we have. being working through the worm to sure sure our neighbors the presence of new to allied forces in afghanistan for security and stability in afghanistan for the fight against terrorism and extremism is not directed against any other country and so far you have kept out reassuring god we need to have a regional cooperation as i mentioned to to defeat terrorism extremism the couple has very good relations with washington and with tehran just like russia is your government in a position to mediate between obama's and our money digits perspective administrations and maybe are you afraid of the repeat of the iraqi scenario when a war is waged just to satisfy a american demands iran is a great country a nuclear neighbor of kindness done with whom we have

a long historical pollution and we are seeking and having good relation reviewed on united states software like afghanistan which are fighting terrorism and helping afghanistan a lot we see federalization between you danny the united states to benefit off afghanistan in the benefit of the region by the same time we don't want to pay the price of the problem because you don't do it sir you told the un general assembly and i quote you to complement our efforts towards eliminating poppy production who 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 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. can be 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 for the can put. in place but the fight against not quite pick is also one of the priority of the afghanistan because afghanistan will be a first for that suffer first before they are there will suffer from it and you're not taking the benefit of that because the manny produced 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 by us mentioned a precursor which are not produced in afghanistan is outside afghanistan and came inside afghanistan we will do our thing so our job to deduce and eliminate poppy

cultivation in afghanistan but also a role in the region should do did it forced to reduce the demand because because because the demand the production of poppies there so it's a common effort commonly for reducing the cultivation giving too far out of afghanistan the alternative which they will accept to grow something poppy defiler said cultivate puppy have any viable alternative in the region of afghanistan which are under control of the afghan government which have been able we have been able to give a tentative yes that has not has been very positive. in two important problems of afghanistan which has been traditionally poppy growers got hard in the south in the east and by the action in the north when some project has been delivered irrigation project out there negative. culture the production of culture of which we need

to significantly why are there area which did as insecurity in the are not in full control of course the production has been increased. so more and more the security would come. in more and more the afghan government would become in control listen this is going to be popular according to experience that we have and other part of afghanistan mr foreign minister the outside world gets an impression that you and your government colleagues are only save within a couple compounds and unable to travel across your own country isn't this send a signal to taliban that there may be a winning. i don't know what's impression of the outside world i'm inside afghanistan i traveled practically all programs this myself and we are pointing all the governor source of district chief or self small pocket of course afghanistan is still not under the control of the afghan government but the majority of afghanistan is rude and controlled by the central government of afghanistan i think

that's a perception which we do not share with them sir his forces have been accused of building black prisons in your countries where your citizens have been illegally detained and tortured. curb the web document it military excesses against your countrymen and again you sure president has been an issue an issue that has created tension between united states and afghanistan there are two or three issues that has created tension there was the issue of detainees the issue of civilian casualties. the issue of the night raids in the house does he shoot has been discussed be very frank and friendly manner i think we are in the right part to solve soon in the beginning of two thousand and twelve afghanistan will be charged off between it's all about afghanistan at the beginning of this of this. taking charge of tunis and we are working with our lives to do so

and many members only need the syrian card with you but also issues of ninety eight that should be done by afghan national security forces more and more afghan forces will be in charge of the. but less than this would be described of problems elections have also been a lot in the news lately two elections have taken place since the nato led invasion both sat fraudulent with the rigging with results published only two months after the poll what do you say to those who claim when you and your allies are planning an unsustainable political system afghanistan a democratic system afghanistan after thirty years of war and lawlessness and no government practically were different kind of government has now system to democratic process is taking root but you know you cannot make democracy in one day in your country especially in a country that had been a war for fifty years so i think that there are probably going to be problems and i think the problem on addiction is not only in the specific when afghanistan

a lot of countries even more developed countries have a hard problem in their direction but the process is going on. people. believing in democracy that's the reason people are complaining millions of people anybody difficult condition of security when to vote a lot of women for the first time in afghanistan or will know in the election to be men a lot of priests there are good news with afghanistan but afghanistan cannot be switzerland or sweden in nine years mr foreign minister thank you very much for this interview and i wish you and your people every success in achieving peace and democracy in your country. wealthy british style it's not on. the.

thanks for joining us this is sports today i'm you know these are some of the stories we're covering this hour reigniting the rivalry it's time for another one of tennis greats a rock feel that allen roger federer qualified to meet in the final of the season ending a.t.p. championships. southern comfort rugby union powerhouses new zealand and south africa stay perfect as they wrap up their tour of the british isles. pick of the puck we've trawl through each and every kid shall clash this week to compile the unmissable auction from europe's top ice hockey league. all that's coming up in just a moment but let's begin with boss couple were under fire c.s. gas side got a much needed win in the league on sunday evening the army man with new temporary

coach dimitri should cool in in tow seeing off hunka but richard from port fate reports there were few signs at the mosque which i answer about to turn the corner after a very disappointing season to date. serious car a club in turmoil may have reached eight straight final holds over muscovites fights a struggle to even make the next round of your early after a disastrous fault of a new season which has culminated in the sacking of head coach bruce coverts clearly each i think it will make. the new system for their own lives to occur for me. with this call for him to pick up the board to go in the system. the group coach. you have me a lot so. i wish the best local government had hoped to get their season back on track with victory over the finish side from to playboy in the united league first period sources cost side littered with vera's struggles. they game together finish

opponents who aren't exactly one of europe's basketball powerhouses their women were making far too many basic errors by had it not been for the presence of dimitri sokolowski the paines the home side would have ended the first trailing robber been having a slender free point lead but having pretty much the same squad that made it all the way to last his point zero four in paris this is a shadow of the team that proved to be one of europe's very best last season says cover a team very low on confidence on the elite of their game very quickly they want to be challenging holders come the end of the season for most guys slowly began to get their act together in the second quarter but that munster karlov once again proving to be too hot to handle from inside he was getting ample support from trajan langdon but were still too many players having an off day and the less said about the armament shooting from a free point line the better cisco finally started to show something approaching a game in the second home off as hong kong having fewer opportunities on all fends side we're going to final quarter of

a fourteen point of bondage series cut into the fourth of the game but in the bank but even with a twenty point cushion their play was far too scrappy of both ends of accords and is plenty of work for interim head coach dimitri struck willing to do to get one of europe's possible powers firing again first game in a new coach and co did a pretty good job struggled at times but that's changing systems and backs and things that we did before so just trying to figure that out hopefully we can get it get it going before. we have to sort of get our confidence back and you were. in the most money thing is for you now you have four yams for probably the most important games and. these are troubling times says come on sco and despite today's victory by twenty points it doesn't hide the fact that it was against very ordinary opponents and there's still plenty of problems to sort out above all model for court before this side starts being a force to be reckoned with again the. legendary federer

championship which attempted comeback of sorts after being shot down six one in the first but his opponent was having none of it wrenching intro of the match to end it six one six four so it's federer versus natal take twenty two russia house want to talk to double of their previous debates. moving on where the southern hemisphere dominance of the rugby world shows no sign of halting after new zealand on south africa both ended their tours of the british isles with one hundred percent records the springboks they were in london aiming to dent mince confidence following their saw and beating all of us truly a fortnight back but the world championship with their ruthless streak grinding out a well deserved twenty one eleven win over the home side with six six at the break south africa who promptly buffered and bruised their way to a brace of tries before the seventy minute mark through willem all births on then.
