welcome back here's a quick recap of the top stories on our verging on the brink of default greeks go on strike with hundreds of thousands taking to the streets to march. prime minister . to the embattled euro troubles. prosecutors in the hague call of libyans to turn over colonel gadhafi for allegedly ordering the killing of civilians but the country's leadership refuses to recognize the tribunals legitimacy labeling it as a cover for nato illegal actions. activists say claims that a. chemical weapons. attempt to undermine the mission. now the boom in opium production in afghanistan is due to

high international demand and years of war and destruction well that's a view of the afghan minister who talks to our next. we would like to start of course with the the statistics of the meat 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 . 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 you we learned that about two hundred fifteen hectares of prominent contain poppy crops but thanks to the efforts of a 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 area so more 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 a terror war on these narcotic substances. over the past sixty 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 should 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 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 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 on to drugs minister i admit that i face money tasks i realize that i have responsibilities with regards to the people of afghanistan and bared amounts for compensation to afghan landlords who give up poppy cultivation chemical imports are 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 if you have the expenses for cultivation poppy. afghanistan we see the properties in this trade are 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 is a talk that there is a possible withdrawal of the international troops for afghanistan with exterior. do you think after the withdrawal the situations of drug fighting would 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 out of the sharp change in the specialization of agriculture's closely linked to

foreign factors perhaps you can see it for yourself the 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. americans and of the forces of fighting do 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 out side afghanistan or in this we rely on help from countries which have experience in this field but your excellency thank you very much for being with us from russia today and we wish a bystander prosperity and peace and. to drugs thank you which that.

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 distinct lack of wind but didn't have weather conditions there when there's a birth life still hold that it is for give you when you so try to make it through you know confidence yeah sure are you sure so will be fine for sure right over seem like. it was evident from his first attempts but 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 it a try today and the wind was good in the beginning but in the end and 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 misfire so we're going to wait a bird till today by the i think it's going to be really good so this way turtle was there was a really nice focus from the from the other side the wind with these three really nice to finland so wait one more day and hear the other try peter was philosophical as 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 we might be one of the best client service in the 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 tolland to helsinki richard i'm portrayed r.t. tallinn estonia and so the news from the sports desk i think.
