it's. our hot off the hour here in moscow you without seeing a recap now of the top stories and rocketing energy prices and scores of wide turmoil in the arab world leads to a european scramble to secure its energy future exports however warm the old school who so phobia of course the e.u. as a look to develop more expensive alternatives to russian energy also. the u.s. is being accused of failing to protect hundreds of thousands of child prostitutes

why just ignoring the problem activists say the government is more likely to lock up those at risk in stead of stepping in to help. and ethnically cleansed one of britain's and largest of gypsy communities is being uprooted out of its decades old home all because of complaints that they are an eyesore his presence is driving down the prices. like my colleague a billboard will be here in half an hour's time but for now it's all going off the spotlight program and i'll be focusing on whether it's time to swap military maneuvers for diplomatic dialogue in afghanistan you're without a. hungry for the full summit we've got it firsthand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers.

we'll. bring you the latest inside stem technology from the realm of russia. we've got the future covered. hello again a lot into spotlight the intrusion on heartache i'm now going out on today my guest on the show is called will. let me tell that warfare in afghanistan has been going on for ten years already but seeing little success some of it's a loyalist allies like the former british foreign secretary david miliband are criticizing that they no longer believe in a military solution and say it's now time the diplomats should step in but is it

possible to deal with taliban terrorists in a language other than against the russians should now the answer they tried everything. my guess is the presidential special envoy for afghanistan said kabul. the nato neutral operation again a stand has been going on even longer now than the soviet campaign there in the eighty's but the law says in just three years it will hand over to afghan forces in several areas of the country however security and stability are still rare in many regions of afghanistan the wave of violence is now its highest since the taliban regime was toppled ten years ago this makes some new tracks but say the withdrawal of needed troops is premature and warfare must continue. mr campbell thank you for joining us on the show well first of all. the canister is in the news today once again because foreigners have faced outrage in this country

after a preacher in florida has burned a book of koran and one of his ceremonies in the united states in the not a city. he said if people have store in the here and campground they killed three staff members and killed four koreans is who does that mean the situation in the country is getting out of control completely can you confirm that. i will see for the moment that is getting out of control very still some reserves are in for me so you this way but. over reaction in mazar e sharif reflects moved all that are going to those population of course the disagree on of koran is very much hurting for and sensitive issue for any muslims in the rural but in afghanistan. the muslim population has suffered

for at least a plan last year a spinoff three in the preview. they are even more sensitive and he acts like well i have a quote here from the turkish president of dillard here's what he says quote we are involved there and if there is to not only in the war but we should help the afghan people normalize life two thousand and eleven is a critical year for afghanistan as the coalition will start leaving soon and quit well you were talking about the situation in the country do you think that the row of turkey as a regional power and some other regional powers will be increasing after the correlation leaves the need to to to keep the situation somehow under control which we started talking first or a live thing that it's still premature to discuss a coalition living suppresion according to the recent decisions of the lead tour

two thousand and fourteen is a benchmark all the. coalition forces will still be beyond. until these the really yeah of course of course they may change the labor laws as they claim they're going to train. at the same time they will keep quite so significant military presence of country that's why i don't think that it will be to require turkish term to go into the north here it's not yet but anyway it's a very positive statement by talking to the government i hold they will be able to mr realize these. losers what would you say then about the role of iran and know that another huge regional power and the relative grandstand of this country is also very significant and the west is not happy about it is you're

right about the hour i would say about iran's role in a very stern even is even more important the truth you see iran has its own legitimate interests elease conferee because of its national security issues and iran has a contrary view put a lot in terms of the economy the relevant i'm gonna stand and. steal horses some more than two million afghan refugees or the sons sorel and of course iran has a lot on stage you're not going to stand and on the same time we many times heard from iranian officials about all their concerns so are all the american military presence in afghanistan be believe these presence is a look at the iran iranian influence another regional power pakistan neighbor pakistan secret service and not on the secret services but that well

practically officially was supporting taliban a lot now after the regime change has this situation changed or is it is it continuing the support oh well. pakistani officials. stated many times of them favor over saddam and and start illustration of going to stand and they have been lied to and lee in war one that i am supporting undergarment forssell sar i'm going on think i will force us but at the same time there is a growing three hundred five so. many taliban fighters under their structures so they have by a network a logistic and other sort of network deployed on the pakistan who sort of. are if practiced on real or wants to conduct but policy that all of the state and that's

where. the other sort of this very important problem of safety nets and they are not doing it so they are doing they've been quite well in south waziristan that last year about everybody. very few carlow gone and priests are all on to government for schools they have have so safely insert in northern. in biologist the koran and some other political systems or park incident and the tribal areas i guess is certainly was a part of the tribal ok we have been talking a very good politics around afghanistan for the last five minutes you haven't yet mentioned india which is a great ally and a good friend of russia by the way india i think it's the second largest sponsor of stand maybe behind iran but ahead of the united states so china and pakistan they don't like in india sponsorship because they think it threatens their interests in

the region what's what's moscow's that you do you do you like to see india is rather increasing at a year india is a long of the biggest so the dawn or reconstruction of of the island storm they did a lot. and there as your lawyer there mentioned in days are called one of the closest part of the russian federation and not only in afghanistan and we believe that the india play is playing and can play a constructive role instead aleutian i'm gonna ask them as for allegations those are all of those congress you mentioned well they have history of difficulties between them and recent history i'm afraid steidl costs shader work on that and they reran over in this world and i've got a son that's very peaty because we russians are part of the region we're interested in corporation on our ghana's from because so we really believe in real

in a regional approach healthy regional approach for stabilization not gonna stand he's not possible result of the separation of such commentaries the like india china pakistan and iran but india is is literally at war with pakistan everybody knew who was in there in kashmir and have been there and those that they are who are actually for a lot i die i'm afraid it's difficult to overstate month at the war are really in the recently literal soul of india and pakistan star thought that when you rub on the old him through month relations and we very well of course it's a very slow and difficult process and we're going to miles because our head but. they are not at war and it will be very dangerous not only for the region the but for the whole all the world even the student for the conference of the region will

be war because so they are actually nuclear powers and that's so that's why we don't like them to be a in the such operation and the whole. they will not reach the stage in their bilateral when we are still aiming at each other of the i mean the soldiers and the officers and here you spoke of my. fields many many hundred miles of minefields over there also i know a lot of other places in the rural i'm sure also not all there much with the same supervision but that doesn't mean that perhaps we will stage a war so called oh was impatient perhaps it would be for it's very important for us for the. conference to improve for a variable of the relations for the sake of grandslam as well you're something we started by talking about this terrorist situation now in afghanistan after this

after this koran burning in america going to a study commissioned by the united nations i quote violent attacks against humanitarian aid workers have tripled tripled during the last decade with more than one hundred deaths reported annually is the current wave of riots some think something exceptional in this respect. no perhaps it's not exceptional and so exceptional in view all overall military political situation in afghanistan we know that taliban insurgency in freezing major the zune i would say of the region and become free and they are focusing not only on nato i'd solve american military installations they are frying to target everybody not only for almost but a local as well and aid workers are soft targets for them and easy to reach

and this wired that they becoming victims of the war says investors that need kabul the presidential special envoy to grandstand spotlight will be. back shortly after we take a break failed stay way we'll continue this interview in less than an. chosen from among many. he was given a clear cut mission. a mission he successfully accomplished. became the first ever encountered space. hero of the soviet union one of the best known persons in the world. all his thoughts were

focused on flight. could he ever think that his life's work would cost him his life . what happened in those few seconds. and what she could see these sealed barrels still. keurig are any clues. on our team. i welcome back the spotlight i'm now going all when just a mind to them my guest on the show today is kabul of the presidential special

envoy to afghanistan well here's an see you've already told us that this declaration that two thousand and fourteen will be the they do. eight when the coalition forces will complete their withdrawal is not actually the exact date because they did this is this is one of the dates one of the they are the process but it's actually the military presence will continue to see thousand and fourteen and we're not looking at looking at a big as it as a. force from from afghanistan but in this respect can we can we envisage such threats and many experts attacking it that it has a sort of an export of extremism export of terrorism out south of galveston unfortunately we have all these phenomena now we had of the prior to

patrol southern one when the we had the network of creating camps are in afghanistan we're. thumb guns of people from different countries so terroristic threat and there were of the unsound then used to utilize an old ship word knowledge share on all the world. under these circumstances of course. i'm going to sort you see is mostly busy with school lushin with the foreign forces that are going to local government forces but we are afraid that later on you've got probably they will have our upper hand and number over part of the insurgency who are professional warriors already and they may try to find and huge order and fuels or other and knowledge to be allowed to

work laurie that's possible it's one seconds it was not my judgment on the americans or we'll stay in or against them beyond two thousand and fourteen because the state want all the pres. involve the united states of america mate or officials they. set seoul and they want to establish share for a moment all longstanding military bases in the sun you can just imagine in these well of the allure i mean first of all live out of the world i'm not going to stop it was our wall of fire for the last thirty years i don't believe that those islamic extremists who are fighting american samoa that they will be hit the. military bases so not done so in the neighborhood it may be get a girl run nice prove their extremist activities and we will give impulse and

impetus to a continuation of spreading of these disease just a couple of some say that the foreign occupation is that chile fueling the taliban says and seeing what's russia's official or even this. off russian official position is very close to the position that we don't believe in foreign occupation because it's indeed fuels for at least two reasons and again a stone that many syrians so while fighting for most of the forums as crusaders and readers. guns are going to much alleging to any foreign military presence of their country and their independence only and look like them many homes or most of the country is also welcome to the world but now they are much more sensitive due to their recent history. that's why of course we are not we don't believe in

a long foreign presence to be to have a stop the lies ing effects but scenes of these operation started ten years ago. we also don't believe in military solution but we don't believe in need of the solution that was our economy action inside a stone in americans and later forces doesn't want to do it i would have to remind them of the written by a review of keep linger just in the end of the nineteenth century he wrote that if you are dazed and confused by a gangster the bains and before the withdrawal is all that the remains of then. change. puts nation building and briefing pure aim and fight the real enemy bolder. where well he knows he knew what to work to

save because the british have been trying to conquer against that from the self for ages and ages and all failed and all failed yeah it says so so as are the russians still there they tried to come from the north and they also feel i mean i mean even before the bolsheviks in the eighteenth century nineteenth century. twenty years ago when russia was fighting a war in afghanistan america wasn't directly involved but it was proof one show that it sort of enjoyed the situation of how of its influence while russia while russia was doing the fighting now america's fighting nato is finding russia is looking from the side trying to coordinate trying to help trying to be involved this russia enjoy this situation more than it did how we change sides in this political situation or not exactly russia has all the rights to enjoy disintegration but we don't do it for the simple reason because our own national

interests are so you can repeat assume just on staying those from far from being and go in during the operation because we don't want the needle and the americans failed because we will have to cope with the implications of their failure that's why we indeed wish them success but it's mean success start realizing your younger son in all terms and military economy economy and leave the country assume the spoils well this certainly is one of the main lessons that. modern invaders have to learn from the previous including the russians are there any other lessons. it said get that out of here how the any other lessons that nato should learn from the same experience in afghanistan and also a lot so a lot. its military political bloc.

should understand that they should come into our gonna stand with the economy because our guns them will stay off their departure if they want to leave have got a star. good probably from memory they should start doing economy and are gonna slow reconstruction the world on. other ways so. bitter memory all our guns are will spread to other muslim countries the russians as a matter of fact the soviets did a lot of economic really good to you rationally a lot they think not only should they did only do the shooting but they did the building exactly like oh listen nato as far as i heard from the press has managed to to to to diminish the casualties among civilians and against and i mean as a result of their operation is it true is the situation better you should never say as a representative person. when comes through this the called the last year and it's

not your true one. you know they are trying their best to do it so i'm not always successfully. there is a desire and we can c.v.s. . for the prime being the number of casualties so it's quite hard. nate so has said to have trained hundred fifty thousand have then troops afghan soldiers do to defend their own country do you think that once the foreigners start getting away these soldiers trained by nato will be able to to to stand against taliban. i would like to add though that besides all these almost one hundred. one hundred fifty thousand afghan army personal. nato support look to train almost one hundred twenty thousand policemen for the minister of interior is a third of a million dollars

a yard number of costs about one comes through our quantity of things look like ok but quit what is a question a problem is a quality. these are gone out of me did so long so not for no time. soviet union and in their partnership was a soviet union was one of the most capable and strongest army in the region now doesn't have air force i can on the ground and the army in the world to be capable of providing a result a car which was one the second are going out of me as well as police and all their will is not. with the weapons and other things i were not talking about more than the state of art or weaponry but steel they should be capable. of access to risk weapons even though i am not sick given all these things that will get difficult to imagine for them to stand on their own future alone and the

one thing you know there are a lot from other countries for a successful army. three figures are important. person three in person all. high power and moron. when it comes to morrow. night personal opinion i don't believe that all are gun officers really finger of fighting for the nation of course. is really important and it will end with the taliban this is the other way around most of them really fight for the cause and they believe that's true well with which they have moral which makes it difficult difficult to front that lewis has always made it difficult to fight people against and thank you thank you very much eriksson's you for being with us unfortunately we're running out of time and just a reminder that my guest today in the studio. the presidential special envoy

to afghanistan and that's it for now from all of us here if you don't tell yourselves potluck just drop me a line. it will be back with well first time comments on what's going on in and outside of russia and so let's stay on party and take it as it. should be. the board.

live in a country that got understand that there's more violence in the streets of this country than there are in the streets in afghanistan or baghdad. one of the spring. breaks or. as it. is from the.
