i know what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headline news you need to cause a report on are. you watching l.t. . puts the finishing touches on the twenty eighteen world cup bid as local officials and on capital to seal the deal. plans to restage the flight that killed its president and ninety five others comes after a russian reporter something also fully accept. comment karzai makes an official visit to moscow to trade on the drug problem dominated talks with president both sides committing to supporting each other. nextel special reports on financial aid in afghanistan with billions of dollars pouring into the

country from the us where does the money really go stay with us for investigation. the anti-drug official never attempted to find out how those quick fortunes were made. so who could do it. why not the anti-corruption commission. it was led by a childhood friend of president karzai. a few months ago in september two thousand and eight the commission was dissolved when something went very wrong this was a psychiatrist office right here. and take. sort of these people into really good tips i had some phones heartlands for people to be calling in a case date or they see something going on the by me asking people for pray and where is that telephone flying in through coolness. is

a number that are numbers which we have a matter of mary production. to the cases to the fabs which is nigeria see. oddly enough the commission never investigated the ship or district. it was this all this. is. leading. the charge here to cook fish which disempowers this was a park and has been built by the people to the majority of the people all the people they were there working in that demonstration office and. say that because they say that they were the generator was. probably. your body our newt showed poor and he was off to them touching it and just making it like. a scapegoat out of it. the chief untouchable had to leave his post precipitously.

according to the american press was if he spent three years in jail in the united states because of some shady business. see the receipt for jury duty. in the process of afghanistan on talk of either crops are america or anyone any are about france and where else you sure it's literally a moment ago drug in a lot of that so i've been asked so many time about this question once upon a time when i was an american and to not say eighty four eighty five i learned on vacation with some friends and other people but there was not a drug trafficking or drug setting what i wanted there is it was some friends together and some accident happened just in the last vegas of course for about integration they were in for some party. doesn't read the case and. in fact mr was he had the bad idea of selling six hundred fifty grams of heroin to an

undercover f.b.i. agent. and for you if you want to make it to make sure there were a good video for your sofas than speak as much as you can if this is the case somebody had an accident happen to is that some and he careful about. what is good that he has done nothing and then he cannot work for his nation. it is estimated that four billion dollars circulating in the country's economy come from heroin trafficking. another four billion comes from internationally. this massive influx of money has triggered the arrival of bold speculators. afghanistan attracts war investors like sound business men that has made a fortune in the emirates. they're building these gilded shopping malls hoping to take advantage of the country's simmering opulence. a tell tale sign

hundreds of brand new has u.v.'s in the streets. for by. the anticorruption deputy this sudden wealth is only the fruit. to prove his point he takes us somewhere to lunch. this is not an s.u.v. dealership it is a banquet organized in the owner of a member of parliament who was assassinated all those who count in capital are attending. church wanted to. go to that meet this was illegal if these people are the richest people believe or will pull his have axes it's about they're not welcome here. let's just show this is how international aid is managed it's catastrophic i. said to the only way does the money end up. in the pockets of those close to power the deputies the senate is ministers business is doing his job engineer of the united nations department heads

still goes beyond this scope waste of food or meal is paid for by a french or american english taxpayer. the same one who thought he was paying for the construction of roads of electric facility if the school. said to the money went into the pockets of the government in the behind sales the luxury hotel motel do. go away if you can see with your own eyes how your money is wasted on the americans different people they usually see. what you are you see because they are there well that your money if simple is that if you gave them a list if you can't they would be kids. you know in fairness international aid has succeeded in many sectors. in health for

instance the french alliance for children and the aga khan foundation have financed medical equipment that compared to what can be found in europe. even if the price of certain services like scanners are out of reach of many afghans. as for the americans they have built hundreds of kilometers of roads in record time. although it must be said that the first contracts went to american companies and that some funds were misappropriated. for instance the us a texas based company that provides security for road construction sites is being sued by the american government for forging invoices. a u.s. p.-i employee is accused of issuing false invoices for gas employees and current according to an f.b.i. investigation american taxpayers paid three million dollars for two years for services that were never rendered for managers of the company have been detained.

met in film of the hidden camera u.s.b. i mercenaries they say that they were trapped by the f.b.i. . investigated. in the state so. these are first of all the. corruption is largely endemic to the reconstruction sector. unscrupulous subcontractors sell contracts to each other. they take a commission for the sale and this leads to the reduction of the original budget. an employee for a construction company has accepted to describe the scheme under conditions of anonymity. when foreigners hand out a construction project to an afghan company they become partners and they want

their share. they request a commission for each job now they can represent up to thirty percent of the budget if you don't pay you don't get the contract. that's why the quality of materials is so bad here. all the people who work in this field just use poor quality products really to keep you know they say they're going to use turkish french or german products but they don't you. know the materials come from pakistan everyone knows that that's why you see so many building schools bridges and roads falling apart so that. moment has noticed the poor quality of buildings on more than one occasion part of. his job is to control the quality of construction for the government has seen lots of substandard buildings but when he tried to denounce a shady company he had a walk. through that. they

were using low quality sand for the cement to build the walls also the walls were crumbling. we requested that they stop using this type of sand didn't take our request into consideration they ignored our request. because they have friends in high places. most of them over the. country i bet if you and i have seen publicly declared that if you show me one building i repeat just one building that was built correctly a clinic. a school. should only one was completed the way it was supposed to be with respect to international norms . for afghans the best example is the cane to come to hospital.

the building is located in a working class suburb of compost it serves one point five million people. you see because i wanted a big project this building is so you can see everything is destroyed for us a.c.s. five years ago thanks to a gift from the international community the hospital was renovated and a new wing added this building is not working speciated the second story today it is falling apart. you can see everything is this side of it. the toilets and bathrooms are closed because of leaks they're currently being used to store broken furniture or cases if you think because the show is no sleep a lot if you. just bought it at this you can see they want to tell this to

a point of the if we used to tap hair then at their destroyed the first story the first of the roof of the. building because of the earliest make up for the yes. there was there used to be this some food just the two of us this is the for a second tour of the road if we use the top it will leak to the first floor you see that's where it leaks. from it's. as you see it's all of the coalition systems across. this yar leaks the story is that back. as you see it is the low quality of the day having to be used if it is it's and distrust of the site. is. the tiles are broken the electrical outlets thing from their cases. as you see as the operation you can see. you can see right through.

we have studied the hospital's reconstruction budget. total budget is two point two million dollars millions that will soon melt away. first the united nations agency that hands out the project with draws a two hundred seventy thousand dollar operating expense commission. that leaves one point nine million this money is allocated to an italian n.-g. o. that will supervise the work. joe keeps one million dollars to buy wash boles electrical wire and washtubs. it pays nine hundred thousand dollars to an afghan company that will carry out the actual job. two million dollars is a staggering amount for afghanistan. as a point of comparison how much does it cost to build a palace in the ship or district. altogether

four hundred thousand dollars. yet two million dollars will be spent to renovate an old building and add a new wing. a lot of money for the afghans to specially for a worn down building. who is responsible italian n.-g. o. the afghan subcontractor. the prosecutor's office in kabul has launched an investigation to answer that question. did tell you an ngo in a show goodwill accepted to meet with us. interests headquarters are in rome they have not been back to come. their water is leaking in it's we couldn't waterproof it because we didn't have the

equipment we did what we could. the tiles are broken but that happens but i still can't understand it here. still the fact that it's still running amazes me i was sure that it was closed. she is the head of interest he did not oversee the hospital building site himself his n.g.o.s specializes in mine clearance. didn't do anything two thousand and two afghanistan was a rough place and no companies were capable of rebuilding the hospital so we accepted the job when i saw the report describing the final results oh i could see it was great you did a good job the report was written by specialists at least from the afghan government no no no from you know international technicians. and that's what i'm saying so if you see this this something that's not right. this is the field engineer who was in charge of operations he claims

a lack of maintenance of the building among other things. like this and one that they have to make and if they're going to look to the book. that's not enough you know it's not that it's a. it's a pretty no no no. no no again we're going back to the reality this is the part that was built by you this is this part here so this part all destroyed this where it was built by us a contractor four years ago. and you can see it's falling down and it's very bad cement but this is a mess this is for the. that's of the extent of. the stress this enough to say.

there is no oil that should fall like this but you have never never seen. this time you think there's a it's the shots are sort of. there was a major earthquake in two thousand and four in afghanistan but it's epicenter was three hundred kilometers away from the competition and no damages were reported in kabul. for afghan authorities the explanation is far more trivial the hospital is falling apart because of poor quality materials for use. the investigating prosecutor because one of the few officials genuinely fighting against corruption. on the morning we met him he was trying to get back salaries owed to teachers from a distant province side yes it's the government he told me teacher salaries. yes six thousand dollars. at the prosecutor's request a control commission started looking into the n.g.o.s books. quality control

orders. they came across a lot of expenses that had nothing to do with the hospital. and everything. the prosecutor keeps invoices of the ngos operating expenses in this plastic bank for him there are simply too high. fits into this the whole communications network. expansion that salaries computers travel funny television at rugs for their offices and we can allocate those expenses to be original budget for the reconstruction in these items cannot be considered part of their mission by rolled out why the need for the heads of interest their normal operating costs for a western ngo of course he never be productive if you do that. there is a complete over. the so called supporting course but it's their communication goes there because for the material there are so few computers a song that obviously

a percentage of the all supporting c. standard n.g.o.s should should and should use it to do war. as you can only five percent is ok. afghan authorities are also surprised by the high cost of materials imported from italy. they said they had to buy an interior in italy. windows in a saudi lamps in pakistan water closets bathtubs in italy was all i didn't get him myself all this while the markets in afghanistan until the that why in italy they have all this other shit up of all who is it sound economically too good to italy to bring some w.c. this is merely was impossible to fill in by only look at is the largest and we have no bank. people come from italy with their money in their pocket this is good to pay the there was no no when bank they needed. interviewed.

finally and that's the main problem the afghan subcontractor that performed on hundred thousand dollars worth of work simply vanished. or that ecowas the company never existed as well it doesn't have an address one other child he would say well. this company which is called a rehabilitation is not likely as an agent is suffered as that so how can they make so much money. he. apparently the subcontractor seems to overbuild some services like the demolition of an old building for eighty thousand dollars. that's three times the regular amount but the italian in geo continues to side with the afghan contractor even though it is flood don't secure receipts which surprises. he is that you continue to trust a subcontractor who acted like a bandit. for it wasn't but it was

really. correct men were good because of their work and. school to know what they were nuts and they're not capable of giving the name of the guy who will be all spittle you look so contracted in i'm not capable of giving me a longer for example which if number was provided today. i was unable to find in the prosecutors go the the. truck with the mobile phone and he was a thinking man there's a last scene and they disappear the truck is full yet this is what it. can only do. then a few months after this interview tonight it nations launched an investigation against the american official from un o.p.'s who had supervised the hospital budget apparently he had embezzled no less than five hundred thousand dollars.

so how can you not be disappointed when the world asked us for help against the soviets we were there. and we have made so many sacrifices for us with these countries they came to help afghanistan reconstruct itself so they said unfortunately instead of that is what we faced with loss but it is almost as if they will. trust towards the reconstruction sector it is dwindling within the afghan population. expatriates are now synonymous with overblown salaries. and afghan n.g.o.s are suspected of running shady operations. when he was planning minister basho those confirmed that these operations were dishonest after investigating these n.g.o.s he requested that eight out of ten be closed. there are two thousand three hundred and fifty five n.g.o.s you never get i stop

people so majority ninety percent a local. one thousand nine hundred and thirty five outright thieves which openly waste the fountains that they are allocating loves the public funds internationally. plus from people seventy percent of their budget is spent on logistics to city cooks busybody to come over to. we requested was it easy to just be clear a film which will decide which is usually found only three hundred twenty to be honest see on show us if we kick out the corrupt to the thieves to. give you the honest organizations a chance to work through e.g. . bashardost was never able to carry out his plan. he had to resign from the government after his proposition.

among the few n.g.o.s that had the approval of the minister was afghanistan them out of afghanistan tomorrow the school run by a french afghan national. budget is ridiculously low but it provides an education to five hundred street kids that never went to school. for these children and afghanistan means one meal per day and learning how to read and write. this doesn't have to get me that much they got all my activities made up i used to look at other children going to school and i'd be frustrated and jealous now that i'm going myself a field that is unique and i'm glad they got out oh in financial year i had to look because my thought and could not provide for the family and i wasn't by that and i didn't have a choice i had to look oh yeah i feel like better now that i've come to the center i know i'm learning to read tonight sarah was astonished but he also made

a good step. and corruption of the taliban's best allies. an increasing number of afghans are regretting also not openly the islamists iron hand. things on which under the taliban you didn't see such high levels of corruption go when you did come up to nuke went to sit in the newly isn't it us today it's become a widespread system systems that i'm under sort of it's true we didn't always argue with their politics but when it came to economics there was less corruption and we had fewer problems. with them vocals because of these with. this. in two thousand and one it took only a few weeks to house the taliban from kabul. but poverty incent mortality and violence still remain. how can one be surprised that eight years later the taliban

are coming back. close up team has been into the arms from egypt to the land developed by cossacks in ancient times. now wattie goes to the center of russian
