punishment all the way up to a life sentence for people not involved in large drug related crimes will consider alternative action which may mean offering them the option of taking a therapy course instead of punishment according to official numbers only ten percent and that end up in russia is. headed by authorities. what is the problem why do we why do we stop such a small percentage. to drug users. these figures are in fact common for the whole world i mean police all over the world europe or america only managed to confiscate around ten percent of illegally traded drugs within their countries another thing is the extremely low efficiency of our borders and their administrative and legal methods lead to the fact that only north point two percent of all drugs are intercepted at the borders drugs that get into russia first have to go through the states of central asia where they're not intercepted those states themselves above all of victims of afghanistan's enormous drug

production. as a matter of fact afghanistan itself is the victim of global drug mafia work which creates the demand and the political will to continue production in the country. this is why countries next have the greatest density of drugs. simply because they are closer to the epicenter further away the drug since a lot of different channels and then drugs get to russia for example through the seven thousand kilometer border with. over eighty percent of all synthetic substances that are illegally traded in russia originate in europe most of the netherlands where most. drugs are manufactured poland the baltic states germany bulgaria and many other countries with underground drug labs. a small but there are many of them and the substances they produce find their way to russia of through various channels speaking of the amounts that we

intercept and confiscate its nearly half a ton of synthetic substances every year mostly these are methamphetamine. l.s.d. ecstasy and other similar drugs. so they're. testing people on mass would be far too radical no of course not we're talking about establishing an early warning system to detect drug addicts and abusers after all people are not born addicted to drugs it all starts with experimenting mostly in teenage years when kids start spending more time on the streets away from their parents that's when they get to know drugs this needs to be detected at an early stage and if parents are warned in advance sometimes it just takes parental action and advice to put an end to these dangerous practices if not stopped in time these experiments later lead to regular consumption which in turn requires longer and more costly treatment.

no we're not talking about forced treatment here any forcing of treatment is a violation of the person so it's important that drug abusers make this decision for themselves in our country drug abuse is subject to administrative liability and punishment by paying a fine on average six hundred rubles punished and then they're released so our society seems to hope the drug users will somehow realize that they require treatment for this addiction. but they won't because their mind is blurred by chemical and psychoactive substances. therefore a legal system should be created to push them towards having treatment and as i've said this is what we call alternative responsibility by the way this is also recommended in the united nations and the drugs conventions. according to.

what you're. i have to say that we rejected this kind of conclusion so did my colleagues in the u.s. russia presidential commission mr gil kerlikowske made a statement we discussed it immediately with washington over the hotline and criticized the global commission legalizing drugs is a road to nowhere more than that it will result in the growth of drug. let me remind you of a referendum on legalizing marijuana in california in september last year i was there when it was held where we decided with mr gil kerlikowske that a number of meetings with officials including the man the sheriff the chief of police the prosecutor respectable professions had a clear position against a legalizing marijuana and the referendum confirms that it should not be legalized . drugs.

california. i have explicit information from the u.s. presidential administration that this financier had largely funded the campaign. certainly this example of the global commission reminds me of a global p.r. campaign by drawing so much attention but even a respectable agency like the b.b.c. covered the fact that this belongs to the un i mean even serious agencies were confused therefore there are many reasons to believe that this drug lobby had funded the campaign. i want to indicate that we've been discussing at various international platforms on may the tenth i spoke at the g eight ministerial conference in paris and so did many of my colleagues we said that unfortunately our fight against drugs stagnates at both local and regional levels because the global level stays even beyond our understanding this concept hasn't been developed yet i

did this context i want to know that the former under secretary general of the united nations antonio custer who was responsible for the drug problem mentioned that in two thousand and eight to two thousand and nine in the midst of the global financial crisis. three hundred fifty two billion u.s. dollars from selling drugs were pumped into the world's leading banks this means that a certain global level determines or sets the demand for drug turnover and ultimately a political order for this production. as far as the withdrawal from afghanistan is concerned the picture is unclear so far it was said that the withdrawal would start and certain parameters for it had been set they've mentioned thirty thousand troops by the end of the year but when i was in washington last september they were talking about the need to increase the

military contingent in afghanistan exactly by thirty thousand now they're planning to return these thirty cells and in fact nothing has changed i think the world community and you can disagree is beginning to consider the situation in afghanistan because there were several reasons behind the decision to launch a military operation and the decision of the world community to interfere in the fair's of this for country. first to put an end to the taliban rule to set up an interim administration and hold free elections. these tasks were supposed to be in six or twelve months but this september we'll see the tenth anniversary of that interference it's longer than world war two the situation in afghanistan hasn't improved it's become even worse and even senior officials like general petraeus for example who's commanding the military operation in afghanistan says that the number of armed clashes there increases year after year in fact the number of armed clashes over the past ten years has increased more than one hundred times so have

the assigned tasks been achieved we see that security in afghanistan has. said that drug production cannot be fought because it damages the security situation in the country so it's a kind of closed circle in this respect to the be worthwhile to a nato operation in helmand province which produces the most opium poppies the operation was called. which translated from persian means together. the operation was presented as a brilliant military success considerable kilometers and hectares of the province were reportedly cleared of insurgents but the production of opium has never stopped that's why a peaceful settlement is necessary we've started talking about this at long last it was highlighted at the london conference on afghanistan in two thousand and ten the autumn conference in kabul also stressed the need to find a peaceful settlement with the latest initiatives voiced by the us president barack obama on negotiations with the taliban and the latest resolutions of the united

nations security council which divided responsibility between the taliban and al qaeda are offering a unique opportunity in my view to drop a program of eliminating drug production i've just come from the meeting of the parliamentary faction of the progressive alliance of socialists and democrats the second largest faction in the european union here outside the european parliament building we discussed the e.u. strategy toward. afghanistan large sections of that strategy are devoted to liquidation of drugs production they use strategy matches very well with a russian drafted plan called rudiger to liquidate the production of drugs in afghanistan in fact the direction that russia and the european union are taking fit together very well so today we have a unique opportunity for resolution and decisive action. makes it one of the head of russia's federal drug control service thank you very much for speaking with us today thank you very much.

a pair early in the first half taking up the rebound from diego for lunch break take that and that could have been more for your why a full on clipping the post minutes later. on in the second half they struck the woodwork again nicholas low arrow hitting me up right this time. makes you think that the equalized litel but it was ruled offside ending his side's told you why go on biology team event in the last state led me maul make sure they qualified for the quarter finals by finishing top of their group after one know when i was peru things were reduced to ten men rooms call mona and chinese balls you'll both getting a red card in the second half and the game was decided by nine in stoppage time. turning it into you saying that the feat means going finished third in the usa qualify for the quarter final i mean while a possible move for cost habits back to south america has been scuppered brazilian

to a club you get attached to the people at the club. and to be face in. a team with the talent that they've got in the team not just with the talented guys that have got here but the young players and of course chose a. a friendly to remember for one particular goalkeeper on his day before the sun is a new place david being decided on the long pond against english premier league side west brom when that meant that the picture there and went over the head of his opposite number as my heel and into the next and i say went on to win two one. now in other news the doctor of disgraced russian cyclist alexander who failed a drug test at this year's tour de france has defended the rider says he does not know why he tested positive for a banned directed substance and his doctor on the make a lot of claims it makes no sense for a cyclist to take the drug as encourages the loss of crucial fluids from the body

however it can be used to mask the use of other drugs alone recall of says he believes has always been claimed cyclists is withdrawing from the race and now awaits the results of his british sample analysis if that's positive his team could too she will sack him and find in five years' wages which would be around three million dollars so the talk continues without him and yesterday stage ten was won by german sprinter on the real green pull his former teammate mark cavendish went for the line with around two hundred metres left with grip and followed and had more power to get his first win on the tall frenchman thomas walker keeps the yellow jersey he's a minute and forty nine seconds ahead of spain's loosley on sound checks. now after cruising to an emphatic victory at the u.s. open many expect rory mcilroy to win goal of open championship which gets underway on thursday the twenty two year old from northern ireland has been at the center of the media's attention mcelroy hasn't played a competitive brand since his win at the congressional but says that's the way he likes it.

yeah i mean i'm trying to prepare for this this major like i prepare for every other major you know i've been i was here last week for a couple of days and i got a couple practice runs and you know one time to practice you know sort of get away from everything and and then come back here on you know on tuesday which i usually do you know it seemed to work the last few days last few times i've done it so you know i want to just you know keep the same the same thing go on and you know you know deftly seems to work confident fellow but he will have his work cut out if he wants to get his hands on the second major new world number one luke donald among his main competitors although some big names are also missing constantine but top of the ins an ice at this year's open championship. the highest paid professional athlete in the world to get a woods is still the biggest name in golf however the fourteen time major winner

will miss the open due to troublesome left leg injury the thirty five year old's quest to equal and best college in the reject nicolas total of eighteen on the big beautiful now they have tiger gets his health back. tiger win again and he'll when he'll win quite a bit again and break my record probably injury also ruling for mostly bad out of the bulls oldest major in the most bizarre circumstances the forty two year old became the second local quit to win the french open at the start of the month and broke his leg after jumping in the lake to celebrate his victory phil mickelson and lee westwood i remember the top contenders as usual but built lefty and westy have been struggling for form of weight really michael ware you stop of the build up to his stunning first major victory at the u.s. open the twenty two year old northern irish man choosing to take three weeks off towards meaning he hasn't played a competitive thrown since his greatest ever day probably

a lot of pressure being put on him. which is unfortunate is natural but this the pressure is going to be he's going to be looked upon especially with tiger up playing he's going to be looked upon as the new kid coming through so i think that guy the go one way or the other that could give him confidence or it could actually provide too much pressure at the end of the day he has the great chance he's thriving all confidence because of that his usa and when he's used to links golf he grew up on it there's no reason why he. look new and also among the frontrunners after securing his first victory since becoming world number one at the scottish open great year and every bit every all the golf is played over here you know he's played very very well you know explain well he's playing great what a worker he is he looks a member of our court my course at home and he absolutely is on the putting chipping green and bunker play and he's there all the time and he works harder than

anybody out there we've seen a good result however the thirty three year old english man will have to rewrite history as no plinth has ever won the scottish open and gone on to win the british open. oh achieve. will be fascinating now we may have to wait another three years before russia's first formula one race is held in sochi but this weekend top teams red bull and ferrari will be in the city to start wetting the appetite they will show off their cars along with lotus renaud who bring in their russian driver vitaly petrov with them organizers believe it will further boost the sport's popularity popularity in the country. but we want to show that formula one is beautiful we want people in sochi not only to see but also hear of formula one because this sound can't be compared with anything but unfortunately the popularity of formula one is not as big here is in europe but stan is the thing we must change and in turn that could attract more visitors to sort you which would
