according to. that. is. what is the problem. 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 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 whether or not intercepted those states themselves above all are 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 going to stand have the greatest density of drugs. simply because they are closer to the epicenter further away the drug splits into lots of different channels and then drugs get to russia for example through the seven thousand kilometer border with kazakstan. what percentage of. over eighty percent of all synthetic substances that are illegally traded in russia originate in europe mostly the netherlands where most. drugs are manufactured poland the baltic states germany bulgaria and many other countries with underground drug labs some cells are 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.

well you know 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. you. know we're not talking about force 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 roubles 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 was. 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 at a number of meetings with officials including the man the sheriff the chief of police the prosecutor all the respectable professions had a clear position against a legalizing marijuana and the referendum confirms that it should not be legalized . but i have explicit information from the u.s. presidential administration that this 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 that even a respectable agency like the b.b.c. covered the fact that this belongs to the u.n. 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 costa 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 have 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 we're planning to return these thirty cells and in fact nothing has changed i think that 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 internal affairs 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 but 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 only got worse it 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 note a nato operation in helmand province which produces the most opium poppies the operation was called iraq 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. settle and is necessary but we've started talking about. 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 but the latest initiative was voiced by the us president barack obama on negotiations with the taliban and the 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 a meeting of the parliamentary faction of the progressive alliance of socialists

and democrats second largest faction in the european union here outside the european parliament building we discussed the e.u. strategy toward. the startled books of large sections of that strategy are devoted to liquidation of drugs production social they use strategy matches very well with a russian drafted plan called rudiger to go to liquidate the production of drugs in afghanistan's bus which he did in fact the direction that russia and the european union are taking fit together very well of so today we have a unique opportunity for resolution and decisive action but in your to your part you make that about the head of russia's federal service thank you very much for speaking with us today by civil thank you very much. download the official anti allocation to your i phone oh i pod touch from the.

later. and in the second half they struck the woodwork again nicholas love their own getting it right this time mexico thought they'd equalize later on low but rafael marquez lugo's effort was ruled offside during his time to a group stage exit from the competition for the first time while you're why finish second in group say play argentina i know that if you were. important to me is that the team and now we know that we've qualified and that we managed to achieve our plans to this point as a forward as a player i just want to help out and do the best for the team in whatever way that can be a scoring goals so now we have an important game on saturday we have to stay relaxed and be ready to take our chances and hopefully they will rise. well me watching he will head into the quarter finals as group c. win a song for stoppage time own goal from under a car you saw them beat karunya mendoza both teams were reduced to ten men just after the al mark gruesome collar crime owner jimmy's grocery seeing red and the

game was decided after ninety seconds was bundled into a zone that by familiar however despite the defeats for a still finished third in the group and also qualify for the last eight. well meanwhile a possible move to see cost has returned to south america has been scuppered brazilian side corinthians say they will not increase their initial offer of fifty five million dollars which was turned down by the strikers club much of the city the twenty seven year old is currently playing for argentina at the cup in america and have stated he wants to move away from manchester for family reasons before the start of the new season however a move back to his former club corinthians now looks unlikely at the brazilian transfer window closing on july the twentieth and in the meantime if you aren't rivals manchester united have been dealt a blow in their reported bit by netherlands midfield that was the side of into milan the serious side has denied their twenty seven year old stars up for sale and nor did they confirm any official approach has been made schneider is on the

contract with him to quit four more years and so far scored fifteen goals in seventy nine appearances. well that's neither united are in america for the pre-season world of football challenge tournament it's the start of a new era in the united midfield off the protocols for time and while on a visit to harvard university manages the alex ferguson revealed he's missed out on sign aston some in the israeli but adds there's now a chance for a young star to shine from united's ranks as i was. there all work coming back and the next few weeks may be hopeless but it's great for someone as often do much as an agent i mean i was someone. do you think or more young players america is. recovering. well rail madrid are also at the pre-season tournament and coached as a marine who believes they're closer to home at the signing on loan the money out of buy all the other nine or so they get

a go out of my thoughts no madrid right now was speaking ahead of his team's i mean game against l.a. galaxy on saturday which is something christiane i rebelled i was looking forward to and i got access david beckham. is a good game for us because we re still. in the pre-season so we'll be grades really exciting because i always like to play and if you play against good teams better for as more motivated so will be great and i hope of course to win the game to be facing real madrid saw him actually since i left you know it's emotional because you you get attached to a club you get attached to the people at the club. and to be facing. same 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 joe is a. and there's been a friendly to remember for one goalkeeper on his debut for the san jose earthquakes david being given decided on a punt in

a friendly against english premier league side west brom the ball went to the entire length of the pitch bounced and went over the head of his opposite number both as my home and into the net and san jose and on to win two on. psyching now and disgraced russian rider alexander who failed a drugs test at this year's tour de france has been defended by his doctor says he does not know why he tested positive for a band director and his doctor and only highlight of claims it makes no sense for cyclists to take this drug is it encourages the loss of crucial fluids from the body however it can also be used to mask the use of other drugs although only call of says he believes me and has always been clean a cyclist has returned from the race and now it's the result of his b. sample if that's positive his team cartouche it will suck him and fined him five years' wages which will be worth around three million dollars. four we are now and we may have to wait another three years before russia's first race is held in sochi

but this weekend's top teams red bull and ferrari will be in the city to start watching the appetite that show off their cars along with lotus and rather who are bringing their russian driver the tally patrols and the organizers believe it will further boost the sport's popularity in the country so. we want to show that formula one is beautiful we want people in sochi not only to see but also hear formula one because they sound can't be compared with anything unfortunately the popularity of formula one is not as big here is in europe but that is the thing we must change and in turn that could attract more visitors to such a good group which would now n.b.a. superstar kobe bryant has reassured his asian fans that he's feeling fine despite reports claiming he had treatment to his right knee last month the l.a. lakers playmaker was in manila to hold a coaching clinic for kids possible is huge in the philippines so everybody was literally jumping for joy but off the court worries were banding that bryant is going through hard times with his arthritic knee but the thirty two year old to

trying to confirm the got any sort of therapy he's had his knee is in good shape and what was the first stop of his five city tour of asia. golf now and after cruising to an emphatic victory at the u.s. open many expect rory mcilroy to win the british open championship which gets underway on thursday the twenty two year old from northern ireland has been the center of media attention and hasn't played a competitive round since his win at the congressional three weeks ago but mcelroy 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 the 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 i

you know deftly seems to work so mcelroy is in a confident mate but he'll have his what he wants to get his hands on a second straight major new world number one luke donald is among his main competitors although some big names are also missing constantine but often looks at the ins and the outs of the championship. the highest paid professional athletes in the world are 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 nicholas total of eighteen on the big barrier for now they have tiger guess his health back. tiger win again and he'll when he'll win quite a bit again and i will break my record probably injury also ruling for muslim bat out of gold's 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 builth lefty and westy have been struggling for form of late rory mcilroy e-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 throne since his greatest ever day probably a lot of pressure being put on him. which he says 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 the usa and when he's used to links golf he grew up on it is no reason why he called the well look doing and also among

the frontrunners after securing his first victory since becoming world number one at the scottish open lieutenant 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 if say he's getting results however the thirty three year old english man will have to rewrite history as no player has ever won the scottish open and gone on to win the british open and. archie. and that's all sports news this bulletin please join me for another update into last time i.
