. but ahead of his meeting with. tees so she should not a caught up with the afghan president in moscow just ahead karzai how he plans to solve the problems that are plaguing his country and spilling beyond its borders have exclusive interview and something. thank you. how many karzai afghan president it's an honor and pleasure to have you with us today sir to on the respond with ok what were your hopes and dreams in two thousand and four when you were made president of afghanistan my hope and aspirations were that would have. peace for afghanistan a stable afghanistan afghanistan in close contact.

with its neighbors and the near new birth a country that would to progress into a better economy. better living standard of the afghan children who were deprived of education for so many decades we would have a chance to go to school some of those us precious have been with some of them have not been so that was my my aspiration at the time but what would you say precisely seven years or what do you want to achieve and where did you fail maybe you managed to achieve a better economy we were more than twenty universities and there right now term vision channel. construction industry and afghan flag flying all around toward an independent sovereign afghanistan and the rest of the work of course one of the great to start spiritual for us security for the afghan people peace for the

afghan people for the whole country house dot com and that is our continued effort and strength for the past couple of years sorry you have been subject to much criticism both personal and professional how do you deal with it. well i was that talked very strongly by the western media. for the past many years partly because of their lack of understanding afghanistan in that situation partly because of politics and when your. in a country like afghanistan where there are so much world to should work to so much . conflict with the sorts rivalry will do so many interests involved. it's only natural that. criticism like that would take place what would you say is they were like one main thing in afghanistan or about afghanistan that western media doesn't understand the. unfortunately or

extremely simplistic in their in their study of ganesan and their analysis of genocide measured if the if the afghan media were writing about politics sort of life or society in america or in france what for the right so take that universe and that's how the the the information about us it's it's simplistic andrew demetriou at best well former u.s. ambassador to afghanistan karl eikenberry is on the record as saying that you are not a nation builder what do you feel when you hear something that coming from a former u.s. army general. well it's. a lot of a lot of things have been said in those reports. as we now hear from the b.k. deeks whether from other media sources. i don't know what is meant by not tradition but. we are building or institutions or building or we

were building go police we have a democratic. order we have free media so that's what it's called a nation building and the united states is helping in a million areas on that with us so my freedoms that remark well you brought up wiki leaks have you come across something that you didn't know before that helped you or it damaged you in a way no through the much of what came in to be complex did not come to visit price surprise those things before so no not really in your opinion the war on terror how much damage has it done to u.s. reputation in an islamic world well the war on terror is. to the extent that the war on terror is concerned. is a war a struggle for all of us it is a struggle for afghanistan which is

a struggle for the united states it's a struggle for russia it's a struggle for the muslim countries it's a struggle for all of us start two more painful subject in twenty years after you came to power. record levels of opium where harvested and that's to say at some point i think taliban point down to me and what happened where we are in charge the afghan government the afghan people. we have reduced poppies in twenty two provinces of afghanistan in some of those provinces completely immediate. we are not in charge. it one of two provinces where there is taliban over there was more foreign forces it was in those provinces of course poppies of. trees and that's a question but still the volume of afghan drug money as of today six point five

billion dollars which is five times as much as your national budget i mean who is behind this how high up does its power reaches those who grow poppies. grow it out of desperation. i know people in afghanistan who destroyed their division yards their pomegranate orchards to replace it with poppies in that must be done out of disparate. the trafficking is an entirely different matter the precursors that come to turn poppy into narcotics is not africa at least you're tall it's a sparkle to afghanistan from other countries so those areas afghanistan is helpless to address the money the injured rate the illegally. six point five billion dollars as being five times the afghan budget in afghanistan perhaps the afghan farmers receive close to your billion dollars some of this to me

it's even much less than that so the rest of the money the real money goes abroad into into banks into businesses are sort of get us through suppressant people close to you for instance your health brother or your inner kardex minister are alleged by the united states to be involved in or in profit with a heroin trafficking. what do you do how can your administration be taken seriously when such accusations are out there in public yes there are there were these accusations in the u.s. media and these accusations began almost five years ago. or even or do it and i contacted u.s. officials sort of repeatedly. not once or twice or thrice five six seven eight nine ten times even more and wrote to them officially if they have anything if it so that they should come to terms. they always can see that this was all who were so

how do you ensure or when do you think your government will be self-sufficient what else can you do to stop harvesting and trafficking and arose out of gephardt was doing is an economic issue for the afghan people it is the are absolutely need and the hope for the future. we must fulfill their economic needs but we offer can our development by way of. infrastructure development and we must make sure the afghans hope to have better hope for tomorrow the international drug trade is something that is beyond of ghana sons means to fight that's an international matter for us to fight together but can't just somehow corporator help to stop the flow for instance today two point five million russians are addicted to after the flaw we can't fly from the floor if you cannot stop it in russia you are a much more organized society you are

a much more effective government if the united states cannot stop at the border with mexico. with all that policing and ability we can a stunt the international community should have ganesan because your view of been destroyed by years of foreign destruction and infrastructure is gone the abilities gone the civil service and we can that's why you need to is there that's why russia is helping our police force that's why america is helping your military so how did we do the capability to prevent supplies from of ganesan to other countries of course who would have done it and we would have not been such up sorry state as a court today brought up nato help what's your response to british defense minister sir david richards and said that they should stay another thirty forty years in afghanistan well that was the statement for five years ago now you know we have a transition plan. and you know that britain has announced that they will be

withdrawing their forces by twenty fifteen do you believe that yes i believe that close contact with. prime minister cameron and his government the british will leave afghanistan by twenty feet the americans also want to reduce to forces by twenty fourteen the transition is the most important thing here so you disagree with those who say it's unrealistic for nato to withdrawing truth not unrealistic once we are back as a stable strong administration and country we can definitely protect our core we have a historical country. mentioned that we needed russian help in order to build that strong government independent government exactly what type of help do you want from russia there is both the ability to russia and the the need for russian afghanistan to engage with the. natalee in a manner of russia help and afghanistan rebuild itself and re re develop its you to

schilke capacity but also by way of trade by way of investment by way of interaction between or businesses which is very strong thing questions have a better understanding of afghan mentality as opposed to americans oh yes a lot better. a lot of that because russia. is a european nation both russia understands us culturally better and we understand the country better that's that's a fact of the right let's just very true thank you very much mr president and welcome and i sincerely wish you and your people all the best in the church and peace and democracy wish you the best to were going to. very first verses of the bible is that all human beings are created but sentimental

came in god's image and it doesn't say just. sixty to seventy percent of what i did as a combat soldier territories. doing what we call making our presence felt to go out should some so they hear a knock on some doors run to the other corner invade another. religion and nationalism not just judaism have been a part of the problem they've been part of what leads to. bloodshed a few one. thousand four hundred people in a month and you want to expect that this will have no effect until a feat if you have to be either extremely naive or extremely stupid to hear a religious jew calling another jew on not not the way they really did it.

the claims of teams being to the arms treaty to the land developed by cossacks in ancient times. now goes to the center of russian defense production. with christianity and shamanism existed side by side for centuries. with people in remote villages cut off from the basics we take for granted welcome to the republic russia close up on. more news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. china operations are the day.

karzai is in moscow what a mission to strengthen his country's ties with russia brainstorm solutions to mutual threats and expand common interests this is the first official visit by the afghan leader thirty years drug trafficking is expected to dominate talks in russia . she was once names in the regional food yet now faces deportation from the country and really has been living illegally since her teens she moved there from north to set here seeking asylum case was rejected some of the regions are accusing the government of double standards in gratian policy. alleged russian arms deal the

victim due to set to make his first court appearance in new york less media called an invention to death he claims he's the victim of an american propaganda board who is accused of conspiring to kill americans and supplying weapons to terrorists. up next all the sports highlights without your fellow. hello there thanks for watching the sport and this is what is coming up over the next few minutes a good day for russia destroyed you know news now in hopes of usually. rude awakening can hold it back in chechnya we cast our eye over the legacies for a man if you take the russia. and america make davis love the ryder cup captain charged with winning back the track. let's start there with the

tennis for me is still flying the flag for his country he's the only russian left in the men's draw but make it through to the third round after a grueling five setter of a ten seed was pushed all the way by slovenia is a blast kept chicks usually producing some magic to put himself through this one coming from two sets down to level michael youzhny to decide the six one to set up a third round meeting with me last ryan. and rafael nadal showed why he's the top seed once again he found the american mind sweeting wrapped up a straight sets win in just over an hour and a half to set up a meeting with bernard tomic in the. i think so with a few mistakes with the back and. the serve sort of myself a lot since. the first day i was serving really well to all the.

to the right of. the sun was very difficult for a moment. and i sort of worked. so hard for the. and elsewhere top ten c. and the mary and david also advancing into the next round with easy three set wins it's. well on the women's side to use the number two seed if it is of or not has progressed after beating jova navasky she did have to come from a set down but the russian says this sort of match will make a sharper than her next opponent the czech suffered over. but it is definitely get in better in that's what i wanted this kind of match you know maybe you're not. perfect drug the whole match and maybe a little bit inconsistent he had but you still get in through this kind of match and i really think that it will really help me to improve for the next one and i'm very positive about it you know and. maybe you know maybe not as sharp yet

as i want to be but different this kind of match will help me to be better next also through his father a russian ninety patrol over who beat alecia mollica muscovite reaching the quarter finals at melbourne last year but was made to work in the first set to eventually win it six for the second was easier if you took that six one and that sets up a third round meeting with fellow russian katherina mcadam. and she beat but it sank up from the crane that also a good victory on thursday perform a few times friday night in the q u campion and is to see a public chunk of that but the russians did lose at least a club an over check of the anchor olenka all on their way home. meanwhile kim clijsters was again in dominant form this time against carlos watters navarro the third seed beating the spaniard six one six three and up next for the belgian he's never won the australian open title is france's elise corner.

gates. i went out there with the intention to to stay very aggressive and to you know not let my opponent kind of play a game and that is you know try to really mix it up and you know play with a lot of spin and. know she can only do that when she has a lot of time and i think it was really up to me to try and kind of limit that from . really be aggressive when i was out there and i did well there was a shock in melbourne seven sigil in a yankovic's went out to be unseated shy of paying the chinese went to set up after winning a tie break and then strong through the next six three afterwards paying said her secret was keeping calm while yankovic's was honest enough to admit she wasn't good enough on the day. you just tell myself it was tragic brusqueness myself you know and just look the boy and it changed but every morning yeah it's a good thing it's a matter of just you know birds election of shots at the wrong time.

i cool forward to the areas that only a. crucial part of the. top of the road it's tough to do or sometimes accept those who really. go coolly believe i can do that then why are we doing but. it's. just have to pause to. keep working hard and hope we come back over to the kontinental hockey league now back to school moscow are trying to make the final push with the playoffs approaching fast the army men got in the way when beating five four but they're still a long way from making it thirteen points behind a place in armory a place i didn't get in the western conference playoff picture and speaking of regret they're not slowing their role with either three one win. the normal moscow

. it will be arriving in chechnya on saturday as manager of premier league side ted it growing the club wants a top five finish in the dutchman's first season in charge and also hopes to win the champions league in the future but what are their chances russian football writer mark bennett says who it will be up against it. i think you have a lot of problems in chechnya because look. the person who doesn't speak russian i don't know i feel a massive culture shock when it comes to a military coup promising they're going to attract world class players on the side i think that any amount of money will be very difficult toward players even to russia chechnya which has been the site of the brutal fighting in recent recent years in terry's my we more just on the publicized side the p.r. side of things around actual football inside because russian the russian foreign minister really do very well with the exception of he cannot because i think he said he wants them for next year to get in the top. and getting europa league place

which means top five which would be a major achievement if we can get them to the i think saying that they want some toward the champions and it's going to put a little bit too much pressure on the guy hasn't started the job. maybe a miracle if they win it but anything's possible of course it will be interesting now an england match the city boss roberto mancini says he's satisfied with the position his team is in after a hectic period of fixtures city are level on points with the top of the premier league heading into their next game against aston villa to be fair city have played two more games than united and have been conceding a few goals to three in a big seymour and the f.a. cup win over lest you tell your mates they need to be better at the back he is happy with his attack and signing. played very well like the players i think that these two i think that they need. like your dad a player that comes from the. street he needs for for games to understand.

about this premier league because this is a different from the championship. elsewhere liverpool travel to wolves who beat them one middle and field recently new boss kenny dalglish says it's a game they plan to win but it's remain tight lipped about possible transfer targets. and given the names them are not going to be christian science or the an individual themselves into going to top sums of money. transfer markets be responsible to i'll continue to do. the club's morning. spend more. look at the rest of the games on saturday leaders manchester united are entertaining birmingham tassel who are third base wigan and spurs are away newcastle and could go forward with a wage. that champions again with a ten attack or rally title in hand

a new bunch of record set because it could be come as chuck team have arrived back in moscow a flight from madrid bringing home the victorious koreans who managed to occupy the entire podium in the truck category for me a charging claim the seventh title to set the record for the most pick three at the event meanwhile beard off and eduardo nikolayev finished second and third respectively with bill these are my dear watching his teammates back and forth position the team's young hope only alive confessed that his initial priority was just to make it to the finish line but he was gaining confidence stage by stage. is i didn't see before the really that we would first just to please the root added that we were not going to hold back and lies the police was good enough to make it to the podium it worked. in other news america have announced davis love the third is the new ryder cup captain he's a twenty time when a on the p.g.a.

tour played in six ryder cups and so says he knows what it will take to win back the trophy from europe in chicago next year players captain if you can. term it that way that i'm going to try to get them what they need to be successful and then obviously i'm not going to tell the best players in the world how to play golf i'm not going to read their parts i'm going to stay out of their way and let them show their talents and i think. a good leader knows he's got a great team and just gets them prepared and lets him go play well the latest event on the european tour is taking place in our big darby and it's chelsea or phil here who has a one shot lead at the h.s.b.c. championship guarding a sixty four during his strand and that keeps him just ahead of the trick harrington the arash men also showing great form and eagle for him. on the seventeenth. and finally the

super welterweight champion has gone face to face with his next opponent. a simple way to call welterweight champion will put his belt on the line against the. march twelfth in vegas and even though my old guy is just a couple of inches taller than he didn't hesitate to make fun of his opponents size at a press conference any minute they can we have to get one someone who only you first i'm going to fight someone is a small as a kid. there's a refund. i think that was funny and i had so with both of them i love most buffy. hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers.
