international demand and years of war and destruction that's the view of the afghan anti narcotics minister who talks to our next. we would like to start of course with. the statistics of the meet their production of poppies in afghanistan i guess that is always being. at the point of the blame for the community that afghanistan is products at producing a huge amount of drugs and exporting it. to the word but can you just from your point of view what do you think i mean how to tackle these problems the. first i welcome you to afghanistan there's no doubt that the area of plantation song with narcotic crops has increased since military hostilities started in afghanistan i believe that the war was the root cause that forced afghan

people to turn to poppy growing this is the source of most problems afghanistan faces today the afghan government has pledged to put an end to all be in production in the country if we study the history of drug production how it spread in afghanistan and what degree it has reached here we learned that about two hundred fifteen hectares of prominent contain poppy crops but thanks to the efforts of the democratic afghan government which i consider to be quite successful we've managed to cut that area to one hundred thirty hector's this year the government intends to further reduce the earliest sonal poppies so as to fully meet its commitment to destroy poppy cultivation but we will be unable to solve this problem once and for all on our own we will need people support in other words we should not be focused only on the question of poppy cultivation it's an international problem and not just the problem of growing poppies in afghanistan for example we realize the poppies are cultivated in afghanistan but then the question arises in what way

about thirteen hundred tons of chemical substances necessary for processing opium into her own illegally get into afghanistan via our country is another exam. that the world consumes ninety five percent of afghan produced opium by contraband while opium consumption in afghanistan accounts for just five percent this proves that not only afghanistan but the whole world should careworn these narcotic substances . over the past six years the afghan government has managed to reduce areas of poppy crops to forty three percent doing gas we almost stopped sowing poppies and seven afghan provinces more than twenty other provinces are fighting to destroy them i would also add that we've worked out a plan to put an end to sowing poppies in several provinces this year as part of efforts to implement this plan we intend to further reduce areas of poppy fields it doesn't mean that we don't have difficulty it's as i said earlier i'm against

drones it's not just a problem for afghanistan this is an international problem the world community to realize that it took on allies the situation in afghanistan with a name to organize a campaign against drugs in this region and elsewhere in the world if we consume five percent of drugs then where does the ninety five percent go for example if we manage to quote internal demand what should be done to decrease the constantly growing world demand for drugs therefore we believe that any success in fighting this evil is closely linked to international cooperation and support afghanistan doesn't have enough ability to treat drug addicts we can help only one percent of all drug related patients as the un to drugs minister i admit that i face money tasks i realize that i have responsibilities with regards to the people of afghanistan under the amounts for compensation to afghan landlords who give up poppy cultivation chemical imports or an even bigger problem or the total profits from the drugs trade amount to about sixty five billion dollars

a year all of them go to the international drugs mafia local drug smugglers barely get three percent from but some of you have the expenses optical to base. afghanistan we see the proper term this trader miserable the international drug mafia gets the bulk of the profits. there is one concept that it's connects somehow the presence of the international forces in afghanistan with the drug trade . there is a talk that there is a possible withdrawal of the international troops for afghanistan when they see you next year. do you think after the withdrawal of the situations of drug fighting what improve. if we look at these things objectively will see that the situation after the war has improved however the afghans don't feel a great deal of prepared to work has to be done and it's necessary to train the

afghan police and army to fight drug trafficking now that we're down to the post war period but i assume that everything we can do in this area brings positive results every day i can claim that in recent years the anti drugs ministry has achieved concrete positive results we've detained money drug traffickers this year money more than in previous years the professional training of afghan police and army personnel has also improved if things continue this way i'm sure that by twenty fourteen we will be able to control the entire territorial afghanistan i would like to emphasize one thing under no circumstances is the afghan government going to wage a war against its own people we operate under the model of struggle against terrorism extremism and drugs we see that in our condition foreign aid has turned out to be pernicious for money afghans a considerable part of the country's infrastructure has been destroyed it should be other than a sharp change in the specialization of agriculture is towsley linked to foreign

factors perhaps you can see it for yourself that drugs production flourished in the period of the most intensive military hostilities which led to serious destruction security as well as law and order as a result of the illegal sowing of poppy crops increased that's why we count on the cooperation of the world community in the struggle against the savior and we won't lay the blame solely on after. the afghans are people who want to live in compliance with the law but today they want to use the benefits of peace in the first place. we are now facing the most terrible consequences of the war against terror we witnessed the destruction of all some of bin laden and the took place near a military base in pakistan all this should be subject to a more profound analysis such issues shouldn't be tackled superficially. a couple of months back there was a joint operation as between the russian forces of. the americans and the. forces of fighting do you think such operations could be.

could be more in future as. a joint operations especially from the russian forces. at this moment we're trying to strengthen our law enforcement primarily the afghan police which is predominantly in charge of destroying poppy crops as i said earlier i assume that we've made great progress in this field but more importantly we exchange reconnaissance information we discussed this question with russia already to build up cooperation with moscow in this field i don't think we've worked out several mechanisms and applying them and cheering special information this information could help us catch smugglers in and outside afghanistan which in this we rely on help from countries which have experience in his field and your excellency thank you very much for being with us from russia today and we wish the prosperity and peace and. the trucks thank you the oyster.

is that ingratiating in the study in the. very best. game. that. you see the difference and. it's going to be fun to get you just the wrong. state no. well the war of words didn't stop there as thirty year old hay refused to shake his opponent's hands and co who's thirty five responded by dropping all the names he could remember and it needs to intimidate the on the. jury the room like joe frazier mario white guys there's. no i don't know. that thing where i was i mean there is going to be.

a builder just very. very so they're there but you don't want to shake me when i'm not. and finally one of the world's best kite surface attempts to cross the gulf of finland is on hold. was due to surf the eighty kilometers from talent to helsinki but says richard found poor feet reports the surfing supreme has been forced to postpone his bid due to a lack of wind. he took to ski. which was all said to attempt one of the toughest challenges in the short time to be career he may have already been crowned world champion but the task of trying to surf all the way from thailand to helsinki presented its own problems such as having to navigate the sea currents and trying to make sure the wind did not blow him too far of course he had plenty of supports even his parents were present home made the short journey from their home in st petersburg where the conditions also look perfect and the temperature hovering

around the twenty five degree mark however unlike the previous couple of days there was this thing lack of wind but in her weather conditions. when there's a birth life still hold the bill for give you when you so try to make it through no confidence. future so will be fine for sure all of us like. it was evident from his first attempt to trying to cross a diploma to distance was going to be a team older as fair was just not enough wind he just didn't run ten minutes in the water before having to return to the shore. unlike windsurfing kite surfing isn't nearly so reliant on the elements however in this case the wind was so weak that it may be task trying to surf entirely into helsinki almost impossible so we give it a try today and the wind was good in the beginning but in the end it dropped so it's not enough for my biggest kite and it's not really comfortable to go so i'm in

the still possible over this other mist funds so we're going to weigh the bird till today by that i think it's going to be really good so this way turtle was there there's a really nice focus from the from the other side the wind but it's the really nice tack to finland so wait one more day and you're the try getting frustrated already they're actually nice to try different stuff on is very to understand this on and off on the beach and then in the middle of nowhere so i mean luckily the wind dropped here is so this was a good thing. i mean anyway we have fun petey was philosophical it's not even he has the power to control the elements and his attempt to become the first russian to cross the gulf of finland will have to be put on hold for a few more days yes but in the mean time he'll be able to sit back and relax and wait for the elements to take a turn for the better but it might be one of the best kite surface of a war but even pages had to admit defeat today due to a lack of wind which has made his attempt to try and cross the gulf of finland almost impossible however he'll keep on trying and over the next few days hopefully

he'll be able to make it all the way from thailand to helsinki richard i'm portrayed r.t. thailand is stonier. and that's all the sports news i think. it .
