of russia's pledging to support afghanistan once nato forces control from the region in twenty forty presidents of both countries also vowed to tackle flow of drugs during the first visit to moscow in decades for it after. ten thirty one pm now and r.t. managed to get an exclusive chance to speak to cause i before his talks with dmitri medvedev the afghan leader tells us he knows he has a tough job defeating insurgency and the desperation of farmers who think they have no alternative than growing opium poppies for heroin. how many karzai afghan president it's an honor and pleasure to have you with us today sir on the respond 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 new neighbors a country that would progress into a better economy. and better living standard of the afghan children who were deprived of a future cation for so many decades we would have a chance to go to school some of those us processions have been with 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 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 television channel. construction industry and afghan flag flying all around

toward an independent sovereign afghanistan and the rest of the world of course will have to agree to stuff spirituals are for us security for the afghan people peace for the afghan people for the whole country. to come in that is our continued effort and striving. for the past couple of years sorry you have been subject to much criticism both personal and professional how do you deal with it when i was attacked very strongly by the western media. for the past many years partly because of their lack of understanding afghanistan and the situation. partly because of politics and when your. in a country like afghanistan where there are so which were just and 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 is they were like one main thing in afghanistan or about afghanistan that western media doesn't understand the. unfortunately or extremely simplistic conveyor in the 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 fronts 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. 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 many areas on that with us so my freedom started 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 you know 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 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 states it's a struggle for russia it's a struggle for the muslim countries it's a struggle for all of us it's our 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 neal what happened where we are in charge. of can we call it the afghan people. we have reduced poppies and twenty two provinces of afghanistan in some of those provinces were completely eliminated. we are not in charge. in 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 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 to narcotics is not africa at least we're told it's a smikle to afghanistan from other countries so those areas afghanistan is helpless

to address the money the injured rate the. leak of the. six point five billion dollars as being a five ton for 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 are brought 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 us officials with us repeatedly. not

once or twice thrice five six seven eight nine ten times even more. and go to the wall for sure if they have anything if it so that they should come to tilbury 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 ghana sons 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 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 at the border with mexico. with all that policing in 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 have the capability to prevent supplies from of ganesan to other countries of course who would have done it too 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 has 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 to believe that yes i believe that close contact with. prime minister cameron and his government the british will leave afghanistan by twenty fifty 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 truth not unrealistic once we are back as a stable strong administration and country we can definitely protect ok we have a historical country you 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 there is both the ability to russia and the the need for russia in afghanistan to engage with. natalee in a manner of russia helping afghanistan rebuild itself and re re develop its u two schilke capacity. but also by real trade by room for investment by roughly introduction 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 it because it. shows european and asian both russian and. culturally better and we have to start the goods for the better that's that's a fact of them that's very true thank you very much mr president and welcome and i sincerely wish you and your people all the best in a cheerful peace and democracy wish you the best to.

have been signed paving the way for russia to host the twenty eighteen world cup that all took place at a ceremony in st petersburg where thieves are president is a blot on fishing they handed over the championships to russia as richard reports now. this was before moloch see the capture almost two years of work for the russian bid committee as the country officially received the right to host the two thousand and eighteen world cup. it is a great moment for a fee for. but it's also a good moment for russia. when. coming together here. to put the no official signature. on their decision taken by. a good deal of committee on the second of december last year. to. election more than a vote and election. to give the organization of.

twenty eighteen to the russian football union russia of course one but votes ahead of the likes of england and spain and portugal and the fever president is confident of right decision was made to bring football's biggest event to eastern europe for the first time all the russian people. to have now the right to privilege but also their responsibility to organize people as flagship which is people as world cup i'm sure there are decision was the right one and they're doing winners. an absolute outstanding cooperation between the feat. and the russian football union and the local organizing committee forward now starts in earnest for russia

as they prepare to host what will be the country's biggest ever sporting event in seven years time and the bid c.e.o. aleksey said all kin to the russian delegation will meet with fifa soon where the first steps will be taken to get everything up and running we are finishing up the formation of the organizer good meeting next week a delegation. of future organizers will be in free fall to find the specifics of the next steps likely to be taken. parameters. for the future world cup putting the organization aspects marketing sponsorship for security so everything. once we get back the services having settled all these people will stop start work immediately like we're probably still a third been a lot of concerns about racism in the hooliganism in russia after a number of high profile incidents recently for vitale mccaw who is one of the fief executive committee members says this problem will be tackled crises more the

police not in the least know racism and nationalism don't have a nationality the thing is that there should be some tolerance and we can use the world cup for this sport in general helps cultivate tolan's and country it is and i think it's unique because when an athlete win something for his country nobody pays attention to his nationality people just forget about nationality and a proud of his victory and of course lee support him and his achievements after the signing ceremony blatter attended a final of a c.i.s. cup which pitted azerbaijan's interest in checked for bella ruse which thankfully played indoors given that outside the temperature was minus fifteen the formalities have been completed and i rush to get on with the task of preparing to host the two thousand and eighteen world cup seven years there is no easy task as new or. it is up to rebuild the country's infrastructure has pretty completely upgraded ridge about we don't see some pizza but. to the english premier league now where just one

game took place on sunday with blood baiting west brom suniel to distance themselves from the relegation zone remember manchester united extended their lead at the top with a five nil victory over birmingham on saturday. to the australian open where maria sharapova was upset by announcing to the ponens in the fourth round the two thousand and eight champion losing to germany in straight sets before tennessee brushing finding no answer to world number thirty three that could be tripped up a six two six three victory. you can say there are rather more painful things in life than the using a tennis match and i think that's a pretty realistic thing to say. because i think there's a lot more in lives and having a tennis ball. 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. you know a lot of smiles and laughter and. but this is for. more disappointment for

russian fans us with monaco's and solve also failed to make it into the quarterfinals russia knocked out by francesca schiavone in an amazing encounter lasted four hours and forty four minutes they tell him to be six four but doesn't solve a stalled back six one in the second sad to force a decider where last is french open winner was more consistent when it mattered most sixteen fourteen to schiavone who takes on carrying the next. and some stage i was like what the score. was so it was a good lawyer here you know. i had no group. who would score with because it was so hard to carve those who is not pushy or me. it's really hard to say ruth who is going to have to kill the other right now and we had some good points and then. no such worries for world number one caroline wozniacki who always looked sharpest in her round full clash with

a nice to see is of us down there on the danes back court power in that game just too good for her let's been opponent six three six for how it ended up meaning but now speed is now into her past avarice trail in open court final. i don't fear anyone actually i. am feeling confident and i feel like i can beat anyone on and. i think they have to fear me when they're playing. and also gearing up for a second week of action in melbourne is leaving off the chinese equally as dominant in head clash with victoria azarenka dismissing the belorussian on a six three six three school lineup just eighty eight minutes. over on the man side of things it was a record matching day for roger federer who drew level with jimmy connors for consecutive grassland quarterfinal appearances federer didn't have it all the way though against told they were brave needing full says to reach the last eight but he eventually came out

a six three three six six three and six two went to the swiss now facing compadre of stanislas valving guy in the last eight deny sleeper non-vote their das go. it's 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 every day had. 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 i was able to battle through and also begin his place in the quarterfinals on sunday was world number three nobody joke of age fifteen thousand a champion nicolas almagro to see on the side six six three six one six small

victory he will play almost burdick next. it's very good match. serve was. was great today and it's important to. 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. in golf martin climbers when they able to have a championship lifted him over tiger woods in the world rankings meaning the german now sits comfortably in second behind lee westwood camarin great form clenching his third title here in four years he led by five going into sunday's final round and was able to further extend the gap between himself and rory mcilroy the irishman retained the second spot following a sixty nine while i had another exciting round of sixty six to finish eight strokes i had the ninth european tour title also gave the german

a second spot in the world is tiger woods full down the rankings hands. meanwhile is trailing cameron maher has won the tour down under the season's first big cycling event an important victory for twenty three year old moir who clinched his maiden title in the may just stage race. before when compadre met goss in the sixth and final stage to win by two seconds tom swift meanwhile to victory on sunday allowing him to come over old and american lance armstrong finished sixty fifth and what he called the last race of his career outside the united states. i'm absolutely sure. so excited to sign time it was such a close back very soon there was nothing i could do besides cross my fingers i mean back just two points in the first one closer to six you know i was just hoping the fish that he didn't run and this is a good and not

a good ride so i'm over the moon and thanks to my teammates they were. going to finish three he's doing without them. and in skiing lynsey vaunted the top honors in the ladies' super g. the final event of the thailand world cup lagan corteen that saw the american baiting mario reeves should dominate of saturday's downhill intersect and it's with laura group boasting that said foster's results olympic champion von voss craving a second victory even three days both coming to the super g. format day is top spot in downhill standings bump trails reach in the overall world bring things despite an impressive performance in courtier over the weekend. and it's all the sport for the moment coming up as the weather updates things.
