the sun's an. expedition to the bottom of the earth on our team. we've got it's. the biggest issues get human voice ceased to face with the news makers. on our again this is on the t.v. the headline. tension is not as but israeli and palestinian officials criticized president obama's latest proposals for peace between the two and the future of the region as a whole. the u.s. and gauge mean to media houses a sixty day american legal deadline without formal approval but not a presidential new congress seen boarded as a band that says the country's military involvement is now only in my neck. and

thousands of protesters take to georgian cities to demand president saakashvili resignation with reports police have provided demonstrators here and it appears everybody took previous wallowed confrontational to take the late. hours of the headlines the news continues here in thirty minutes time next so stay tuned for a special report exposing corruption and criminality in afghanistan where billions of dollars invested to develop schools and stop drug running and up in the wrong hands. the red carpet and t.v. cameras the lights are on. in june two thousand and eight the countries of the coalition are presenting their spending program for the reconstruction of afghanistan. the friendly side of the war. americans french germans afghan politicians congratulating each other.

after the photo they all disappeared behind a partition. it's access is closely guarded so journalists are welcome to attend the conference on television it is still france is not only acting as though staying power the president as usual has planned a spectacular announcement. it's a simple question and that is why i am announcing for the increase of french aid for reconstruction and so french aid to the afghans will be more than double it does have got. more than doubled just ahead of the aga khan private foundation france is now the twenty first donor. the first donor being the united states. oh sure has displayed to the press put the emphasis on the positive results of reconstruction especially for schools for which the u.s. government announces impressive figures. in

education under the taliban seven years ago there were less than one million children in school now there are six million children in school in the u.s. government has been pleased to be able to help the government of afghanistan to achieve these quick results by reconstructing or building a new six hundred eighty schools. bernard cushier the french minister for foreign affairs triumphs he's just announced a very high figure and so we weren't expecting such a large sum of twenty million dollars in fact. a for a country such as afghanistan twenty billion dollars is a lot of money but how will it be spent. when members of the conference there cross the partition that separates them from the press unpleasant questions start flying around the father of my will corruption and opium trafficking be found mr president

first c n n what kind of guarantees you offer in the international community we really would call for old to get into. that d.c. focus charge it know it is the job which it will come this is to kill people to deliver the goods services to get out of corruption that eruption and drug trafficking condom to be filled by us the afghans also have to be in office. but if a genocide was to make good use of this assistance we must give it to the afghan people by bringing him missing out on the concrete examples that are marco pete sampras in the past or the local you don't listen to these things so if you take and that it is then pakistan that please let it stand that. kabul winter two thousand and nine we have come to afghanistan to follow the dollar

train. the billions in international aid the mysterious fortune of an upstart caste living in dollars where to the dollars come from where do they go how much is really can vested in schools and hospitals. we are about to discover a country where an ever poor population has lost all confidence in the authorities . a country where the taliban game ground every day. this morning in the secured zone an american convoy was attacked by a suicide bomber. the marines have lost one man they're panicking. and they seem afraid of being attacked by someone in the crowd for passers by were killed by the last. time he percent of the victims of the taliban are innocent

civilians. war is becoming more intense and poverty is an all time high afghanistan remains one of the four poorest countries in the world and people in the streets do not believe the billions of international aid will change their fate. as you've been there put that money what money the money does not reach the people who pull in us it stays up there. it's in the pockets of the government was there for you where is the money that i'm now maybe now. starving out of work people meet every morning on this crossroads they wait here for days hoping to earn three dollars for a day's work. do you work yesterday and the day before. i haven't worked in a week so money john times will bit a during the wall pull would die from bullets today they die of hunger that montage or my children and i haven't eaten anything in two days i swear i haven't eaten

anything in two days that's in. your body peace people are dying of hunger but who's going to help us anyway and they wouldn't if i tell you i'm starving will you help me. where are the achievements put forward by the donating countries we want to see the schools that were a priority of international aid. here is what sounded random you know working class neighborhood of the capital. it is rule calls for the girls in the sounds of the country girls are attacked by the taliban but they can. you to flock to school they are determined and come in numbers in large numbers here a few minor details missing from the situation to be perfect. details like walls and a roof that sat up. i am safe. to

fish for. them and i'm not. going out working in the ninety's you didn't want it to if that is nothing more to matt bevin if we're outside ok now that there are no chairs no table list system the girls learn anything in the schools and you know what oh my god you know i still only want to still want not to listen to the teacher i was. just want him to lose be a welcome to grow my stuff how can they be happy. we do is coming in the morning is cold. a light snow started to fall. i say as he goes on we'll have to leave not for now it's not much it's all right when the snow falls like this we stay outside of it you study under the snow. you know what it is but we don't have choice. because i meet him for.

learning really good code of good people want to do our country good to organise the caring here for making go things for avoid this trouble it's rare. but now we are frightened may think these are forty schools because there's room for room expensive for the school. one thing is certain funds for major national aid were not invested here. because there aren't enough classrooms this small school welcomes its ten thousand students over three shifts. princes. however i spotted a piece of land where the school could settle and expense. because i mean. this piece of land is owned by the state. but most of it was seized by people who have friends in high places well the rest of it belongs to the ministry of defense. put in a request of the school. off camera

a school official hints that the man who confiscated this land that is vital to the school is a commander in chief award. the school official remain silent in front of the camera because he fears the warlord. this is his house it overlooks the slumps. to make the situation clear the warlord has put up military barbed wire even around the small garden on the sidewalk in front of the house. it's true afghan students are back in huge numbers where the school the hundreds of schools allegedly built thanks to international. reconstructing or building a new six hundred eighty school. we contact the u.s. a united states agency for international development. their offices are located

behind these walls. a perimeter reserved to those holding the bag for those outside the walls it's traffic jams and danger. we want to see with our own eyes one of the six hundred eighty schools. we've been talking to julie and the press agent for ten days. she's having trouble finding those calling you because i would love to have some addresses of schools to be able to feel much. kate ok you put the address on it right. great. ten days to get the address of a school in kabul a girls' high school that is under construction. we rush to it. we find ourselves in front of a magnificent billboard picturing a truly beautiful building. ok so where is the school.

the school the kids. who board where. oh you know i heard that. the board's been here for one and a half years. when they put it up that they promised the construction starts and everything would be completed until the sun is up but it's almost two years now and still nothing. really i've been calling saying that the girls are freezing to death . i've been here since six o'clock this morning quick look at what my hands are completely dried from looking at what else has made them. so far the american donors have only build restrooms and the schools surrounding walls and have inaugurated

a beautiful billboard. we call back usaid and this time we insist where the school's out of the six hundred eighty there has to be one in kabul we received one last email from the agency it states that most of the schools were built in rural districts. too bad for us and for the afghan kids. the rural districts are swarming with taliban who sometimes burn the schools down and often kidnap journalists furthermore because of the war many villages have been deserted their inhabitants fleeing to the capital whose population has doubled to about four million. case in point campbell is the. the place where schools are needed the most . i guess we need so many things that construction must go faster it's really necessary it's going to slow up but as a mark we lack so much space in our school that we have to refuse her admissions that is more about an occupation story hi heather.

yet there is one neighborhood in kabul where construction is thriving where there are no delays. welcome to ship two of the strongholds of to afghanistan's new lords. for the past three years fortified conses a mushroom that ships. each still has its own private security. of course there is the taliban threat but that's not all. cheerful is at the heart of the conflict with the new authorities would like to conceal. a war between those who are close to power and thousands of poor people who have lived in the area for several generations.

of an american to stop or maybe. going to these people came with the american and some of the police and it wasn't for their planes and tanks for the minute they would have never made it here you avoid by michael mchugh and your ticket the american economy they should have built public housing for everyone but do it instead so i guess they took the area by force with weapons but i didn't want my saying the truth on a community billion but. if i think oh yeah yep and one house isn't enough some room has real fool. who are the owners of these houses the secret is well kept by guards armed with machine guns. you got by anywhere a private security firm you cannot fill me out of the post and i mean i did about the soviet. work here he was

a great problem but he said. we meet with a man who is having his house built. good. he's one of the architects who is designed to leverage villains. his rich clients have paid him in full now it is his turn to have his own palace built. to be a. child together it can't afford a five hundred thousand dollars from the top of the villa a splendid panoramic view over the slums which are scheduled to be demolished what do you do about this poor house is all but how do they have these old houses are illegal i mean these people will leave the state will relocate them elsewhere then actually that's the way it is but if the government wants to build a road and a house is on the path that if the house is raised and the land requisition. to speed up the evictions the couple cheatle police showed up one morning in two

thousand and six with a bulldozer. and up on the lead but it was that i mean how about on the bulldozers came without warning. on the top on it and they came to demolish the houses that were on the path of the road that i started raising here. like them and then we were told we had to leave then i'm not a tough economy. they threatened me if you don't leave we'll be back tomorrow and we'll be square we'll it and i was just on a holiday i wish to make a. position a man comes out of one of the villas is he one of the mysterious owners. know he's a businessman back from exile you know he rents one of the palaces and uses it as an office for his company. it's really the most is. that you see the city really this is the new. administration came in.

just think in this latest model cause in the pacific this came with security guards appear they're on edge but what is the problem this is the middle of the street it's a public space why don't you want us to feel that strange. this is a house this is a street this is public this is i'm sorry this is this is the streets is probably this house is don't own the streets you know we are regular journalists we're doing our job we're in the middle of the street i'm sorry i'm not doing anything wrong tell them to shut the camera down because the journalist want to show that there are rich people also in kabul ok ok ok if you. don't film the house ok. because of the people are just the building did investing money and also this hundred giving because it is very high in you. know in europe

all much is it for this this. twenty thousand us though it was. but it's hard to know who receives the money and in this case you know who the owner is someone from the government or. just. especially. because this is the area which was. taken by people in the us or some other people from coming in the poor people who are to escape from the cd. and the same in this case that make this all just. push this man who was one of the very first to inform on the ship or situation a member of parliament was waging a war against corruption. just by a little nationalist is a gandhi like character modest and extremely popular some call him a populist in terms of number of votes he's number three in the country today he's

going to create quite a stir in parliament. indeed winter is here and with it comes famine and extreme urgency as he has just discovered the food aid hasn't reached the villages yet. but i took. it all so much. because it was sort of my protest that's for the same reasons as last year are going to be remembered i was expelled asked you to stop it if i'm not mistaken the money you asked for last year has not been cleared by the budget all of this is illegal. to avoid a scandal the president of the assembly cuts his microphone the question just goes to get through this to see any faults by therapy they go crazy and we've heard the figures you're quoting dozens of times i mean i thought about it but if you want to contribute right now i'm of the school villages and the local authorities to see if the food supplies have arrived at their own i think it would if. it's exactly the same as last year thought they had lied and they continue to do so thoughtful that

people are dying from hunger and here you are talking about millions of dollars i cannot believe this these are nothing but life. nationalist is a former minister four years ago he resigned to protest against the squandering of international aid. from his stint as minister he's kept a highly sensitive document concerning the ship or district. the list of all those who were sold land for almost nothing. on review subject to the first time i saw this document i was the planet he was at this i open it to you i was alone and i became terrorized i could not believe the matthew was so powerful more precise seebach clearly shows we see the imprisonment of probably from the the fraud and the outrageous religious see it's the first scandal and because i'd ministration exorbitant cymru for risk of those who did the cards i

. suggest this is the area nine hundred four swim meets to do a shift this is the foreign secretary is chief of staff is a fit washer. is the governor of a province superficial here this is the son of the general just the general here an ambassador who took isidore president of public radio television you know people for one hundred fifty square meters it does seem to show this is the chief of police. this is a journalist back until it is an afghan. this is your people but you're right a clique can't be critical of the government which is new news that way seriously how can they be. eat it up with you can see most of the i'm laughing but i should really be crying because you can full of it discuss it with those gifts or do they still have to pay for how to play with you because they paid something like two or three hundred dollars some people chris three hundred dollars for nine hundred

square meters just about. who had enough power to ward such gifts to friends of the regime. since the land officially belongs to the defense ministry the generous donor most of the. the military. research and all this all this land was given by enough of him who is defense minister and the first ice president. musharraf one of the most powerful and feared men in the country. who are chief who first came to light during the soviet war which he fought alongside come under my suit then against the taliban in september two thousand and one my suit is assassinated by al qaeda and is replaced by fate. fame and other afghan war chiefs become the best allies of donald rumsfeld also known as mr war in america. they received millions of

dollars to oust the taliban. after the fall of kabul in two thousand and two flame the former war chief is named defense minister then. this allows him to distribute land in a ship or district. we tried to contact marshall fame several times he did not wish to give us his side of the story. one question remains how do you earn five hundred thousand dollars when you're a civil servant. a question looming in the streets of kabul. where does the money for their palaces come from from the mother's belly. through the un if they get the money to build it they would like me. how did they do it

people in the streets are not the only ones who have become suspicious of the role of the human rights commission is to monitor the government the commission's lawyers have officially requested that share poor as wealthy be investigated. to north wales the subject is way too sensitive. for lunch. for you fish it makes everybody as it were. not more than two thousand dollar home to see what it was that close trio. was one of those how the million dollar. is there and that's the big question there is no base these people running. for own legal defense are afraid of. that indicates something new there is a high level of corruption. misuse of public property misuse of those monies

the development. at the same time there are. discussions about truck traffic when i look to some of these expensive housing it can't. even the idea of corruption because one million dollars is just building up for industry. is very high. corruption and investment. but also drugs. it's impossible not to think about opium trafficking when you come across ask a new full range. the country produces ninety percent of the world's heroin. seven thousand tons per year. sure the taliban profit from the drugs trafficking but according to the american press so do afghan government officials inside the administration. under the pressure of the international community the government has set up an anti narcotic special unit its means are considerable for such

a country. even in the area of public relations in this laboratory we are shown the tricks used by drug mules that were caught by the police of my homage i was or should have. is there. a shot at me as that i need to see did opium money fine in some of the luxurious villas of sure. that's a question no one wants to answer. we meet with the prosecutor in charge of finding money laundering. deficient seems rather reluctant to talk monitored and was that the left had a little bit puzzled and could we can also afford to not kinetically but all well and ask people how they go the house but if someone comes up with proof i insist if anyone can prove that a house was built thanks to drug money then we go at it one hundred percent of the law says we need proof so if someone who buys that proof then yes we work at it

with no problems but political not only would the person who is looking for the evidence and it's not you and the according to the law we don't have the right to investigate people's private property without him but we can't touch them everyone is allowed to have asked us. mom.
