that would have. peace for afghanistan a stable afghanistan afghanistan in close contact. with its neighbors and near neighbors a country that progress into a better economy the. better living standard of the afghan children who are deprived of a future cation for so many decades would have a chance to go to school some of those are. some of them have not been moved so that was my my aspiration at the time but what would you say precisely seven years or what are you willing to achieve and where did you fail maybe you managed to achieve a better economy we are more than twenty universities and there right now in china all. construction industry and afghan flag flying all around toward an

independent sovereign of. the rest of the world of course will have to agree to start spirituals of us security for the afghan people peace for the afghan people for the whole country. 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 the talk very strongly by the western media. for the past many years partly because of their lack of understanding of afghanistan in that situation partly because of politics and when your. in a country like afghanistan where there are so which would you turn should were to do so much. conflict would do so with dr rhee were there so many interests involved . it's only natural that. criticism like

that would take place what would you say if they were like one main thing in afghanistan or about afghanistan that western media doesn't understand the. unfortunately or extremely simplistic conveyor in their study of of ganesan and their analysis of ghana measuring if the if the afghan media were writing about politics sort of life or society in america or on fronts what for the right so diverse 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 week.

from other media sources. i don't know what is meant by not a nation but. we are building or institutions we are 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 when you brought up wiki leaks have you come across something they 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 a ton to u.s. reputation in 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 of cannon son 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 neal what happened where we are in charge. afghani current. the afghan people we have reduced poppies in twenty two provinces of afghanistan in some of those provinces we've completely eliminated poppies we are not in charge. one of two provinces where there is taliban over there are

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 beers division yards their pomegranate orchards to places with poppies in that must be done out of disparate. the trafficking is an entirely different matter the precursors that come to turn poppy to narcotics is not a lark at least we're told it's a smikle to afghanistan from other countries so those areas afghanistan is helpless to address the money that injured in the. leak of the. six

point five billion dollars being the five ton for afghan budget in afghanistan perhaps the afghan farmers receive close to your billion dollar sum is to me it's even much less than that so the rest of the money the real money goes abroad into into. 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 us media. and. these accusations began almost five years ago. or even order. 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 brought 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 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 absolute need and the hope for the future that we must fulfill their economic needs but we offer can our development by way 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 afghanistan as means to fight so 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 flop we can't fly from the floor if you cannot stop within 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 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 do we do the capability to prevent supplies from of ghana's into other countries of course who have developed 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 richardson said that they test shit stain over 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 to believe that yes they 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 an realistic for nato to withdrawing. and realistically once we are back as a stable strong administration and country we can definitely protect ok we have a historical country. mention that you 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. natalee in a manner of russia helping of ghana sort of rebuild itself and re re develop its u two schilke capacity. but also by real trade by roof investment by roughing it in interaction between all businesses which is very strong thing questions have a better understanding of afghan mentality as opposed to americans oh yes a lot better. because of. russia's european nation both russia and. culturally better and we have to start the better that's that's a fact of it. thank you very much mr president and welcome and i sincerely wish you and your people all the best and. wish you the best to. repairing

a shot up of the last eight as the russian went down in straight sets in the fourth round the two thousand and eight champion losing to germany give it should be fourteen c. finding no answer to her own seeded opponent that's going to try to help a six two six three victory. i can say there are a lot of more colorful things in life than those and. i think that's a pretty realistic thing to say. because i think there's a lot more in lives and you can turn this on we can talk about so many cases around the world i think pretty fortunate to be able to do what we do win or lose it mean obviously wins. a lot of smiles. but this is for. more disappointment for russian pounds us with on a presence of also failed to make it into the quarterfinals the russian knocked out by francesca schiavone in an amazing encounter the last four hours and forty four

minutes they tell him to open a six four because in such a storm back six one in the second set to false and decide where last year's french open winner was more consistent one after sixteen fourteen scale born to take some carrying the stats the next. day and some stage i was like what's the score. so it was a good enough you were here you know it is like. i had no group home. school with because it was so hard to carve those who is not to shoot or me. it's really hard to say with who is going to get them to buy the right now and we had some good points and then there are no such worries for world number one carolyn because now it's always looked sharpest and herald full clash with an associates have asked about the danes back court power and that game just to good for how let's ban opponents six three six four how it ended up meaning by stats he's now in to have past ever strain open court finals. i don't fear anyone

actually i am feeling confident i feel like i can beat anyone on a good. i think they have to fear me when they're playing. and also gearing up for a second week of action in melbourne easily navi chinese equally as dominant in her clash with victoria azarenka dismissing the belorussian on a six three six three school why not just eighty eight minutes. over the men's side of things it was a record matching day for roger federer who drew level with jimmy connors for consecutive grand slam quarter final appearances federer didn't have it all his own way though against on you're a brave though needing full sets to reach the last eight but eventually came out with a six three three six six three and six to win and this was now facing combatants on the slopes valving in the last eight edged out the night sleeping on the dust but. this is a step in the right direction and i'm happy i'm still alive and still going strong

going to tournaments it's a tough match and you regret it was going to come out and hit a lot of loopy shots and make me earn it and he was not going to give it to me and i thought he really was able to you know to play strong sort of midway through the second set. of them a chance on his own serve like you know any chances are my or my serve in the first set but i found a way i was able to play a bit more aggressive and you know you know sort of make some stupid mistakes i did at the end of the second set which really cost me the set i thought. you know was able to battle through and also booking his place in the quarterfinals on sunday was world number three nobody beach the two thousand and eight champion bimini to nicolas almagro to say one emphatic six three six four six small victory he placed almost perfect next. very good match. serve was. was great today and it's important to. raise the

level of performances i did today you know before before the quarterfinals because now you know points are very difficult matches are tough and unpredictable. now the four remaining f.l. playoff teams are gearing up to vie for a super bowl berth in the conference championships later on sunday the bears and the packers will see who's best in the n.f.c. while the jets will then go on a collision course against the steelers in the a.f.c. clash muslim gorski previews that upcoming battle for the flamboyant rex ryan has been grabbing the headlines since pre-season with his confrontational get candid press conferences and his jets have been more than able to back up the coach's bravado on the field to see huge items already checked off on new york's postseason to delist the jets defeated two time defending in v.p. peyton manning in his indianapolis colts seventeen sixteen to start the playoffs emotions flew high for the jets ahead of their highly anticipated rematch with the

new england patriots but new york put memories of a forty five to three regular season loss to the pants behind them shocking quarterback tom brady in the foxboro faithful twenty eight twenty one and while trying to successfully game plan against two players considered the face of the league the forty eight year old sees a different beast in the steelers bedrocks was apparently the. you know different styles but like ben prefers you know the throws like his his you know completion rate probably isn't as high as the other two yet his yards per catch up probably higher you know things like that he's you know he wants to throw the ball down the field he's not content that's early we're just taking a check down or whatever i mean you know ben tries to like. pittsburgh will be the one seeking vengeance this time around following a twenty two to seventeen loss to the jets in the regular season and while they take care of business against our shriver's ravens thirty one twenty four in their only playoff game things went far from smoothly for them in the first half of that

matchup. two time super bowl champion rafa's berger does have the experience and the ability to make plays no matter the level of pressure but his teammates on the offensive line know that they'll need to be a brick wall in order for the twenty eight year old to succeed. well just gotta keep been on a train that's been in or for a problem i think or you're. you know he stands in takes on a lot of hits so he's got a big star as far as a. pass book new york's the real read this is arguably the best cornerback in the n.f.l. and pittsburgh's receivers will have to adjust to his physical style of play the steelers james harrison will also prove a fearsome presence the two thousand and eight defensive player of the year tallying up plenty of fines for his role of hits this year so it's the jets aiming

to deny the steelers the chance to win their seventh inning bartie trophy uganda gorski our team. and golf martin climbers winning the championship lifted him over tiger woods in the world rankings meaning the german nelson's comfortably in second place behind me westwood are in great form clinching his third title here in four years he led by five going into sunday's final round and was able to gather expand the gap between himself and rory mcilroy the irishman retained the second spot following a sixty nine while more had another exciting round of sixty six to finish eight strokes i had they not empirically into our title also gave the german a second spot in the world this tiger woods fall down the rankings hands. now and australian cameron meyer has won the tour down under the season's first big cycling event a big victory for twenty three year old meyer as well who clinched his maiden title in a major stage race the all performing compadre of matthew goss in the sixth and final

stage on sunday to win by two seconds swift was the overall off to winning the final stage while lance armstrong finished just sixty fifth and what he called his final event outside the united states. i'm absolutely shocked but so excited to sign time it was such a close back rice and there was nothing i could do besides cross my fingers i mean back just two points in the first one closer to six and i was just hoping the fish that he didn't run the first mistake in school had a good broad so i'm over the moon and thanks to my teammates though i believe i'm going to finish his job without them. in scaling savon to the top honors in the latest super g. arrays the final event of the italian world cup lag in corteen a dump out so needs to lay their merican beating marya reach should dominate at saturday's down going to second brits with a good thing the third fastest result only big champion one boss trained
