twenty years ago in the largest country. to some degree. what had been trying. to teach began the journey. where did it take the. world. really new the latest in science and technology from around the world. we've got the future covered.

here with r t the have winds of purging on the brink of default the greeks go on strike with hundreds of thousands taken to the streets to march against austerity cuts but china's prime minister on tour through europe has offered to buy the embattled euro out of its troubles. prosecutors in the hague called on libyans to turn over colonel gadhafi for allegedly ordering the killing of civilians but the country's leadership refuses to recognize the tribunals legitimacy by labeling it a cover for nato's illegal actions in libya. activists say claims that a flock to what heading for gaza is carrying chemical weapons to use against soldiers are just israel's attempt to undermine the mishap. the boom in the opium production in afghanistan is due to high international demand and years of war and destruction that's the view of the afghan anti-narcotics minister who talks to r.t.

next. we would like to start of course with. the statistics of the meet their production of poppies in afghanistan afghanistan 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 but. 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 opium 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 farmland 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 the area to one hundred thirty hector's this year the government intends to further reduce the area sawmill 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 and waterway about thirteen hundred tons of chemical substances necessary for processing opium into her own illegally get into afghanistan there are countries another exam.

person of 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 care war on 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 is as i said earlier i'm against drugs 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 elsewhere in the world if we consumed five percent of drugs then where does the ninety five percent go for example if we manage to cause 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 list 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 and their demands 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 votes on a view of the expenses because of. afghanistan we see the proper term this trader miserable the international drugs maffia 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's a talk that there is a possible with all of the international troops who have got to start with exterior . do you think after the withdrawal 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 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 closely 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 the illegal sowing of poppy crops increased that's why we count on the cooperation of the world community in the struggle against this evil and we won't lay the blame solely on afghan as 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 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 between the russian forces of. the americans and therefore our forces of fighting you think such operations could be multiple or. could be more in future as. 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 exchanged reconnaissance information we discussed this question with russia already to build up cooperation with moscow in this field jointly we worked out several mechanisms and applying them ensuring special information this information could help us catch smugglers in and outside afghanistan or in this we rely on help from countries which have experience in this field and your excellency thank you very much for being with us for russia to be there we wish a fire started the prosperity and peace and there. are two drugs this is one thing to watch that.

like hole cards but today after after that night i was just like so slow completely lost my concentration was hard for me and i said missing person kind of it was tough meanwhile the men's can petition turned out to be a real crack and the two favorites who took boards half way through the tournament were disqualified from moving distance markers and the fate of the russian gold crown was to be decided on the clues in the crowd stick around a metre mark. the next day i went in there and knew about we just heard about it and we just wanted a reference that we had this kind of situation for that reason. and incredibly former tennis world number one in the time grand slam winner. of look it up the little boy to grip his first professional title the thirty seven year old was. true ailing by aides through ups ahead of the final day but later found his perfect

touch to produce an impressive plus to own which included six birdies in just one and this but it pretty modest finish of fifteen over by the olympic tennis champion is going to boost his golf skills for the olympics in rio in twenty sixteen but i didn't expect to win it was a real surprise for me i'm very satisfied with my score in the last round as i finished five under par i love golf and will continue playing and it would be great if i could take part in the olympics in two different sports with the growing popularity of golf in russia championships like this and the results like government gives are the best way off encouraging those interested in the sport to pick up a golf club because they about that both party. now following the arrival of world cup winner about so-called lost and star coach route while it has been another high profile appointment in russian football former referee about austerity is taking charge of the country's much officials the forty three year old italian has been brought in by the russian football union following the sacking of his previous as

dropping all the names he could remember in a bid to intimidate the wind in a. chair in the room like dr. murray and. there's. the elephant oh. good thing it was the. stimulus bill they're just barely. still. there but you don't want to shake his. wife. well and finally one of the world's best kind serve as attempts to cross the gulf of finland is on hold russia's putative was due to surf the eighty kilometers from tallinn to helsinki but as richard found poor reports the suffering supreme man has been forced to postpone his base due to a lack of wind. peter to ski which may have already been crowned world champion but the task of trying to surf all the way from tallinn 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 having 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 the sting to the lack of wind but didn't have weather conditions there when the lies still hold the bill for given year so try to make it through no confidence yeah sure are you sure so will be fine for sure are over some like. it was evident from his first attempt to trying to cross the eighty kilometer distance was going to be a tall order as fear was just not enough wind he just didn't run ten minutes in the water before having to return to shore so we give a try today and the winner was beginning with in the end and dropped so it's not
