freedom because that step after spending six months on board the international space station where they also brought back insects which scientists hope will unlock the secrets of the living organisms perform hundred zero gravity conditions . now there are millions of drug addicts in russia and most of them use their one smuggled from afghanistan and pakistan artie's many of the national caught up with islamabad's and drugs chief to find out what's being done to combat the problem well that interview is up next. over two point five million russians are addicted to heroin in pakistan volatile all story through which the drug is just picked and partly free status in two thousand and two thousand and one but since stand the drug problem is believed to have more cent rise in one hundred percent from two thousand to two thousand and

six teef of pakistan is antony coccyx force mr saying it should kill hussein joins our team now to discuss the situation and the country's efforts to deal with it thank you sir very much for joining us shaker lectures which represents the greatest drug related threat to pakistan security traffic in three a country or poppy cultivation within it we heard the poppy free state is simple one can call them who they were in syria poppy free nest some of the regions with the and you know for security because of the ongoing. troubles in the tribal area so the growth in pakistan is their best seven hundred this and if you are below one thousand head to a party free and only recently we have destroyed some of the poppy growth in our tribal area pain in her a whore problem but here we had over one thousand three hundred free so the biggest

threat for me is this trafficking the trafficking record to do so far as the growth is there to know on this town and so far as the market is there in the rest any other part of the world what's your organization to tackle these problems tackle just again we have a long border with the longest on the order your long border with iran almost a thousand kilometers we have. great ports you're working on all these places marked strategic island. and the season is over the government of august on with the assistance of other law enforcement agencies and in if they continue to be in the top three in the world we are doing our best that we can do cooperating internationally international season is only this year out of over twenty two thousand p.t.o. for passion or it was thirteen thousand feet in canada fifteen

point eight tons of acidic and i buried him the way and for the places you're doing our best but if you think we can do it i think you're far from it and particularly if. mayors are not taken to curtail poppy growth in the one it and the demand in other countries does not reduce. how is the drug traffic into pakistan how does hayden. oh it's hidden the same of a drug barons or create the sale of the water it goes through dies down in central asian republics a growth for iran it goes to others and forces and we happen to be one of the credit goes country it goes to pakistan also low thirty thirty five percent flow from pakistan did use all the means whether it's zero or where it's meant back it's pricing into. to other cost reasons and take it on the board and dean way is that they did all six it's award which is continuously going on give it

out on the third fourth few days then change to the next to the next so they're called meditation on the other side which is going it is very smart very educated and very well informed and we continue to fight that we continue to fight that. and it's an ongoing one which is going on links us diplomatic cables points to corruption and border controls between afghanistan and pakistan through wheat straw . what's being done to tackle cross borders. corruption cross border corruption in this portion specifically to what's happening in mexico in america what's happening in pakistan and their place it's common all the world people are the same they have same requirements the same problem there's the impressions so this is nothing special is going on in pakistan and a western border and in any case presently one of our own border we are not deployed because of the ongoing militancy there so we are rather diluted on the

borders but on the second layer there and doing the best that we can work i take it as an exception this question particularly coming for august on is common the world over so there is a corruption yes there is and will it is not and where it is not is there is a place where there is no corruption it's not possible to deal with it is the question you should ask is it possible to deal with it so let me tell you the world is not going adequate to do what is truly done people are just happy with conferences awareness campaigns because it is the easier part of the thing done you have been talking about it all over the world in all the conference since if you were to head this menace it is the same thing a city thief to catch a thief you have to cultivate informants and adequately be them and this thing will go down and be hit hard and that is what we are doing and the support that comes

from the international community the countries which are destined for this drug are feeling the heat of it they must do things more emphatically and in twenty five numbers which is not happening at all so it sounds a bit like you are blaming the international community for not doing enough to help thank you very very positively and very straight i am blaming the international community not for doing enough if unity is he has been there for about fifty is the question is he has introduced a drug. it hasn't in the united states of america is the in a while it's time for the last almost seven it gives so much of forces has a duty to do through drugs production that it has not so what can talk a standalone do on the circle how you cut price and we can to start with of understand we have adequate adequate not my choice of the best we have adequate cooperation with them and frequently we have the results coming to us resist them

you on the balance there we keep sharing with them and some of the media operations have been conducted red flags have been seized and some of the high value targets have worked for good corp because of our interaction with them what links are there between the drug trade and terrorist organizations working inside and outside pakistan how do you think total of one money. money that is. generated by of opium which goes to the father is about four hundred million dollars by the time this leaves the borders and the a.p. in his hand many times it generates one billion dollars and by the time it reaches its destination according to the nine years or not the latest because in that it had already escalated their gender sixty five billion dollars so what are we talking what are you talking about who's making the most of the money yes part of

the money must be going to the aleutian which are militant there's no doubt on this look or decides why are we ignoring things which are happening for that. why are we not talking about sixty four billion dollars which is made outside the border the longest time and this is two thousand nine. hundred and fifty billion dollars in which turns into liquid cash for many people who change hands by the time it reaches. the middle east and europe the punishment for those involved in. trade all that production in pakistan i mean you have capital punishment also we have executor one man also if he was bankrupt it let's you before that and last year two people have been given this sentence is still in the process and the conviction rate of the people that court in pakistan is about eighty seven percent the least and you can compare it with any other country if the exit killed

the drug traffickers there are three. hundred people if you catch it the seven are projected. and this i think is the really high figure and it only happened because of your special courts we do not people who did all the reports just course reach the governor's office and have a need for this so the in the end first the government of pakistan has taken a very serious and pursued seriously the man who was executed in pakistan do you know what he was doing. he was carrying be a hater and. and and friends would. and then it was then they were killed and it was stitched into the stomach and credit for this whole operation from the point of her abduction killing all the inference and carrying was done in court for hours because after going for a star decay and that is how he was taking the people and taking the he really he

says he was there back in france cherry fry three months four months. kill them. and then to be going into the stomach state and take it over a life imprisonment of all or hundred of them are going through life imprisonment well fifteen twenty years since or another one hundred one hundred of them so at present to me when i see the seven percent that wing it when it's. a degree of punishment depending on the crane. the seriousness of the crime and the radio system anybody and a post clip show you have no problem on there are people in this this this drug people dislike this truck and people support us in our world taping it doing. to your student. section of the society which are formed created this and they continue to do it but the preferred we're. getting away

from their need to deal once because nobody supports them as you know for the first time in history a russian diplomat has had in the un office on drugs and crime what difference will his appointment make to the war on afghan drugs. i mr frederick both grace paley claimed that he came to pakistan on the his first visit and during the trial and later he should do which was the conference which was held in pakistan we just met him and you enter d.c. also a very fine gentleman and. the feeling that one gets met him that he wants to do something it's a very huge undertaking and i'm sure he'll make a difference because he is looking for alternative methods that can possibly be employed to do and if you can there's i wish him the best of luck and full support from the stump major general thank you very much clean city thank you so much.

french open for the first time made an excellent start against little change she took the first saints six games to three but i'm sure i'll follow continued good form into the second as well go on to win games in a row. take second to love and wrap up the tree in just fifty six minutes and i played caroline garcia of france in the next round. beginning because she started are serving really big and i didn't get too many looks conserves and i and once it got a good rhythm. you start playing better and better so it's a good way to start the first round. when you do know your opponent too well. however that wasn't such good news for another russian. crashes and despite winning . shot but another toy is world number to comply hoping to avoid and.

see if you can more of the roofs i'm just bringing up in that little moments. meanwhile roland garros champion of the evanovich is crashing to the feet and for incense to sweden's lawson was the first said goodbye and well to take a second to love and send a match into a decider however it was with twenty two year old pitcher stronger to six to. russia if you could. in the mean time of world number one rafael nadal was taken to the limit by johnny serve united states in his first round drums straight sense after winning the opener but had enough resolve to grind out a marathon at five set big tree to maul russians involved in the first round action on choose the bow will be leaving paris early after losing to germany's florian meyer and four cents on the demetrius of soul of his in the midst of

a draw my advance towards the elites of belgian as a russian looks to extend its way. meanwhile andy murray is sent another local favorite packing by disposing of eric straight sets victory on able to put out montreux this students against a fourth seed scots and also straight sets very clearly a class above match six four six one six three victory at the triple rolled. lucky loser but only in the next round. but it was a football one of all kind of eruption in iceland could hit the ball saloons plans for their trip to london for their champions league final with much to united on may twenty eighth catalans are considering travelling to buke a later today instead of on thursday as was originally planned head coach pep of what we all are says he is ready to change their scheduled work more serious weather delays saturday's pano will be a rematch of the two thousand and nine decider in rome which parts of one to no on

the same man in charge. us through the day we have seen. we reviewed the finals from two years ago when the right to read was much much better than ours in the first gulf but much much better. the second problem of more control who played better than them the full scope. we believe. in the liberty similar this will be a competitive team and the can make for. without the problems of all of the four fidler no absolute very competitive so we're. one of the best teams in the world. before russia was hitting says he's happy in his current role as manager of turkey despite being linked with the vacant chelsea job after a collar lunch a loss of a science but ultimately is committed to his role until the end of the two thousand and twelve european championships however things haven't been going well for the sixty four year old so far and

a beating in belgium in two weeks' time but all within their hopes of making those finals well it says he's not ready to take the job just yet but it's one like the choice bieber's garbles new. with an english newspaper saying before two year old russian is on a four man short list to wind up by roman abramovich. the olympics are a little over a year away and that means it's crunch time for those wanting to qualify for the games russian women's basketball team will be hoping to do just bounce of the upcoming european championships in poland but on course as more. the russians are usually one of the main contenders for a podium spot in european basketball events since one thousand fifty the women's national team has looked to the european crown twenty one times as the soviet union and since two thousand and one russian players have made it into every single final winning two out of five that have taken place in poland and the team will perform under

a relatively new coach who began his tenure in twenty ten just before the world championship in turkey where russia failed to impress losing to belittle others in the quarter final however the national basketball federation is optimistic about the team's chances we'll see after the championship and the results will be good in the media not good you know. with the lies of them. make some of the decisions but at the moment is the culture of the russian women's national team and we hope with the same culture in the team and the best team we can just. top of results because . at the moment only sewall that's all qualification spots have been filled for the london olympics another team will surface after it wins the european championship in poland next month russia considered hot favorites and that events along with the defending champions france plus and other continental powerhouse spain. will sort of poor it's hard to say who will make it into the final and who will hopefully

become all rivals whether it's france spain or the czech republic but a ruse can't be written off either and we'd love a rematch after the world championship last. moving forward everywhere these days becoming more or less equal and no team has any secret technologies but still i believe the teams i mentioned will be the key opponents in contrast to the management the core of the team has remained intact over the last few years their roster is quite impressive with the two thousand and eight olympic bronze medalist and two thousand and seven european champions all present one of those is abroad who was picked team captain. moments before she came out to speak to r.t. usually a year or two years before the olympics if you were in that scene that eighty percent are going to make delegates so as long as you stay healthy and you know in good shape you can make it simple for us to have to call if i fall if it's first obviously surgery everybody is hoping to get around in a couple of days after this training camp and across the region russia will be

traveling to the czech republic for a walk tournaments now that's going pro couple of days and then the team will be back here in moscow region to prepare for the european championships which will start on june eighth seed in poland and russia will be hoping to qualify as the london olympics it's going to fall on the first place remark off regard to moscow region. of going into supporting world ice hockey championship campaign latvia why the very tight coaching staff including their main man all legs in iraq and that the insides of thirteen place finish was the worst in fourteen years old has been in charge of side since two thousand and six and led the baltic nations to the quarter finals in two thousand and nine. and i'll be left to concentrate on his coaching career in the continental hockey league he's managed to establish himself as one of the champions best manages leading on funds again but they are all the way to the guardian cup finals two seasons ago. but if i mean let's look back at
