it's time for headlines now haron not covered karzai is in moscow i want to mission to strengthen his country's ties with russia brainstorm solutions to mutual threats and expand common interests is the first official visit by an afghan leader to police and drug trafficking is expected to dominate talks in the russian capital. she was once named the region of the year but now faces deportation from the country i mean the has been living there legally since her teens she moved there from north of the search here seeking asylum case was rejected so regions are accusing the government of double standards and immigration policy. and alleged russian arms dealer good to boot he said to make his first court appearance in the us media many called him a merchant of death he claims he's the victim of an american propaganda war and she's accused of conspiring to kill americans and supplying weapons to terrorists.

but ahead of his meeting with dmitri medvedev otty said he should not so caught up with the afghan president in moscow just haven't karzai how he plans to solve the problems plaguing his country and spilling beyond its borders that exclusive interview is up next. how many karzai afghan president it's an honor and pleasure to have you with us today sir 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 that aspirations were that would have. peace for afghanistan a stable afghanistan afghanistan in close contact.

with its neighbors and the near neighbors a country that would progress into a better economy. better living standard where the afghan children who are deprived of a future cation for so really decades would have a chance to go to school some of those us processions have been with some of them have not been made 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 right now television channel. construction industry and afghan flag flying all around the world and independent sovereign afghanistan and the rest of the war of course one of the great to star spirituals of 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

struggle 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 the talk very strongly by the western media. for the past many years partly because of their lack of from the standard of 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 do 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 measured if the if the afghan media were writing about politics sort of life or society in america or on 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 saved and those reports. as we now hear from the week and from other media sources. i don't know what is meant by not a nation 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 many areas on that with us so my freedom started that remark when 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 the much of what came 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 it's

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 pointed down to me and what happened where we are in charge that afghan government the afghan people. we have reduced poppies and twenty two provinces of afghanistan in some of those provinces with completely immediate purpose we are not in charge. of one of two provinces where there is taliban or with more foreign forces 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 of the shortfall it's michael to afghanistan from other countries so those areas afghanistan is helpless to address the money the injured rate the rates 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 of afghanistan suppressant people close to you for instance your health brother or your narcotics 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. and i contacted u.s. officials with us 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. 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 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 of. infrastructure development and we must make sure that 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 floor 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 it at the border

with mexico. with all that policing in a better city. of galveston 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 ghana sent to other countries of course who have done it and we would have not been such up sorry state as a court today you're brought up nato help what's your response to british defense minister sir david richards has said that they try shit stain other thirty forty years in afghanistan well that was a 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 to believe that yes they believe that

close contact with. prime minister cameron and his government the british will leave afghanistan by twenty eight 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 an realistic for nato to withdrawing troops are not was not unrealistic and once we are back as a stable strong administration and country we can definitely protect our we have a historical country. mentioned that we needed russian help in order to build that strong government independent government what exactly what type of help do you want from russia there is both the ability of russia and the the need for russian afghanistan to engage with. that not only. russia help and afghanistan rebuild itself and really really develop its usual capacity.

but also by we are for trade by you or for investment by interaction between all businesses which is very strong do you think question seven better understanding of afghan mentality as opposed to americans oh yes a lot better a lot of that because russia. is european and asian both rush understands us culturally better and we have a standard culturally better that's that's a fact of them at the spiritual thank you very much mr president and welcome and i sincerely wish you and your people all the best in achieving peace and democracy wish you the best to. going. very first verses of the bible that all human beings are created but some of it all came in god's image and it doesn't say just jews or non jews. sixty to

seventy percent of what i did as a combat soldier territories was to do with. doing what we call making our presence felt to go out should some so they are not concerned doors for the other quarter and they don't know how 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 it's jimmy stupid we don't need to hear a religious jew calling another joe and not the way they really did it not. repairing a broken. highway construction and humanitarian aid. but as

shady officials look at the spoils of war it's the people who pay the price. profiteering here is no longer just down to drug trafficking. afghanistan on the dollar tree. on. the playing soccer team has been to the home screen. to the land developed by cossacks in ancient times. now wattie goes to the center of russian defense production. with christianity and shamanism existed side by side for centuries. when people in rome. religion is a cardinal from the basics we take for granted. leave good feeling republic russia close up on r.t. . red cards eyes in

first city have played two more games when united and i've been conceding a few fair few goals victory over walls and two more in the f.a. cup win over leicester. admits they need to be better back he is happy with his attack and the new signing striker it inject has joined tempers up front. very well like a players i think that needs to improve i think that the. leg or the other player that comes from the. need for for games to understand. is premier league because this is different from the championship. that's where liverpool troubles walls between one miliband field recently new boss kenny dalglish since it's a game plan to win but from a tight lipped about possible transfer targets. and given the names a little going to court may not be creationism's or that an individual player the

the top of the leaderboard by blue weekly the american blasting out of a bunker on eighteen and managing to reach the green we can have a little problem rolling in a pattern here and is tied at the top of the leaderboard after the second round. of the n.f.l. season is approaching its climax with the super bowl is set for kick off on the sixth of february and few people expected to see the new chance to come within one step of the game but rex ryan's team of the came all the odds and will face the pittsburgh steelers on sunday for a chance to play in dallas his events with the c. championship game preview. before the playoffs started it was hard to imagine the new york jets would go anywhere beyond the wild card round after all they traveled to indianapolis to take on the great peyton manning and his colts instead nick folks field goal sent the jets to foxboro where top seeded new england patriots were waiting and with the pats trashing the jets in forty five to three and their

last regular season meeting the hosts were the overwhelming favorites to advance however the jets defense managed to find a way to make tom brady uncomfortable and completely disrupt the pats offense for three quarters of the game the jets came out on top again and for the second straight season coach ryan and quarterback mark sanchez are win away from their ultimate goal first up though they need another big win at heinz field against pittsburgh steelers just roll the clock back and you know about thirty years or so that's the kind of game it's going to be. and that's to who we are now to pass where it is and that's who pittsburgh's always been and you know so that i respect that every speck the way they play. you know quite honestly though and as a matter of my dad was coaching that team were so you know my son was playing on that team you know it's on and we know it was the steelers had a shorter road to the a.f.c. championship starting out in second round as the divisional ladies but that one

contest against tribals baltimore ravens was worth several regular games ben roethlisberger and his troops were able to overcome a fourteen point deficit in the second home to hold off the ravens at home and make their way into the conference final the state has finished the regular season at ten in for the same record they had in two thousand and eight when they won the super bowl that coach mike tomlin says every year is different i don't think this journey has been different than any other ones you know some of the specifics are different but every year you're present it would have versity some created by the game some. created by the minute involve we all fall short of perfection but i always enjoy the journey particular with this group of men it's been a fun one verse it is as much a part of a game of football as blocking and tackling the jets will face a hostile crowd in a tough quarterback and roethlisberger bunch with recent wins against two old time greats manning and brady it's hard to call them underdogs anymore mark sanchez has

faced his share of criticism for his performance during the jets' really cares to season but the second year quarterback once again proved he can definitely run the show in the postseason you know it's competitors and guys who want to win this is we've put together the best team possible or peaking at the right time and now it's about you know not making anything up not changing what you do just being yourself having fun with the preparation but being serious and taking advantage of this opportunity understanding what's at stake and trying to win this game meanwhile sanchez his counterpart big bang and stuff is he is a scratching his head on how to find a way to overcome the mighty jets to find its extra study its extra walk through it's as much as you can do i mean the just defense be the two best quarterbacks in the game at their place. to do it i mean it's they're good they are good indeed and full of confidence coming off those student wins in indianapolis and new

england so the mental edge probably goes to the jets in this one but it won't be easy it never reaches this stage stevens. stateside and in the n.b.a. portland increased their winning streak to four games following a win of the los angeles clippers clippers go off to a quick start sprinkling sprinting into a sixteen to two raid was applied for a big score and one of their own rooted for monday's coming out to five play griffin until one of the highlights of the game is how do you dunk. trailblazers finish first off leading by five points in the final quarter forceful shots for nine days and chris. size leads to double digits but every gotten two three pointers to get a purpose within three points pulling hard to survive things to lamont is aldridge finish twenty eight on the trouble is there is going to win this one hundred eight one three. right we're up to date small school coming up in around two hours time

states in thought see whether it's coming up next. 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.

the closer team has been to the arms to return to the land developed by cossacks in ancient times. now wattie goes to the center of russian defense production. where christianity and shamanism existed side by side for centuries. where people in remote villages a cut off from the basics we take for granted opium to the routine republic russia close up on r.t. . move. the afghan president is in moscow i want to mention to strengthen his country's
