four when you were made president of afghanistan and my whole put 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. a 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 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 right now television channel

. construction industry and afghan flag flying all around the world and independent sovereign afghanistan and the rest of the world of course would have to read to stuff spirituals of us security for the afghan people peace for the afghan people for the whole country. to come in 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 that talked 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 will just and should work there's so much. conflict with this so what dr rhee would 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 and they're 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 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 b.k. dixwell and from other media sources. i don't know what is meant by not a nation but. we are building or institutions were 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 u.s. states is helping in military as 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 killers did not come to visit price surprise those things before so no not really in your opinion

in 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 it 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 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 you call it the afghan people. we have reduced poppies in twenty two provinces of afghanistan in some of those provinces completely immediate purpose

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 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 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 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 cruise to 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. into businesses are sort of get us through suppressant people close to you for instance your health brother or your inner kardex minister are led 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 accusers began almost five years ago. or even or do. and i contacted u.s.

officials for this repeatedly. not once or twice or thrice five six seven eight nine ten times even more and go to the mall for sure if they have anything if it is so that they should come to tell. 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 are for economic development by way of. infrastructure development and we must make sure the afghans hope to have better hope for two more 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 a better city. we can a stunt the international community should have ganesan because your view of been destroyed by years of war and destruction and the 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 have the capability to prevent supplies from of ghana's into other countries of course who 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 richards has said that they should stay another 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 do you 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 our core 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. natalee in the manner of russia helping afghanistan rebuild itself and re re develop its u two schilke capacity. but also by trade by room for investment by roughly interaction between all businesses which is very strong do you think questions have a better understanding of afghan mentality as opposed to americans oh yes a lot better but a bit because it was just. as european should both russia and. culturally better and we have to start the goods for the better that's a fact of them. 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.

place on sunday with blood been baiting west brom suniel to distance themselves from their relegation zone remember manchester united extended their mates at the top with a five mil victory of a bad game on saturday. to the australian open where money. shut up about was upset by and instead of the bone entering the fourth round the two thousand and eight champion losing to germany in straight sounds cool to see brushing no answer to world number three after they tripped up a six two six three victory. you can say there are a lot of more painful things in life than those in a tennis match and i think that's a pretty realistic thing to say. because i think there's a lot in lives and hitting a tennis ball and we can talk about so many cases around the world i think pretty fortunate to be able to do what we do when rivers i mean obviously wins. you know

a lot of smiles and laughter and. but this is for. more disappointment for russian fans as for the nicholson silva also failed to make it into the quarterfinals the russian knocked out by francesca schiavone in an amazing encounter last for hours and forty four minutes they tell him to be six four but it isn't subtle started back six one in the second sad to force a decider where lost is french open when it was more consistent when it mattered most sixteen fourteen to schiavone who takes on carrying the next. and sound stage i was like what's the score. so it was good though that you were here you know it is like. i had no group of strangers that had no clue at school was because it was so hard to carve but i was always up to sheer omeo good luck it's really hard to say ruth who is going to the other right now and we had some good points in the. no such worries for world number one caroline wozniacki who always

looked sharpest in her round full clash with us to say is that us down on the danes back or power in that game just let's have an opponent six three six for how it ended up meaning business he's now in to have fast avarice trail in the 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 wonder of playing. and also gearing up for a second week of action in melbourne is leaving all the chinese equally as determined to head clash with victoria azarenka dismissing the belorussian on a six three six three school lineup just eighty eight minutes. over on the men's side of things it was a record matching day forward to federer who drew level with jimmy connors for consecutive grassland quarterfinal appearances that are a 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 nicely put. it's a step in the right direction and i'm happy i'm still alive and still going strong in a tournament tough match and you were great it was going to come out 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 the major adds 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 calls for the set i thought. you know i was able to battle through. and also booking his place in the quarter finals on sunday was world number three fifteen thousand a champ and an eighteen nicolas almagro to see on the static six three six four and

six small victory he will play to a much more of the next. very good match. serve was. was great today and its importance to. two is a level of performances i did today you know before before the quarterfinals because now you know corner and so very difficult measures are tough and unpredictable in golf martin geimer is winning the 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 by five going into sunday's final round and the feather extended gap between himself and rory mcilroy the irishman retained the second spot following a sixty nine while had another exciting round of sixty six to finish eight strokes i had the ninth european tour title also gave the german
