past the hour here in the russian capital this is our time for your headlines at the u.n. is considering a joint mission with the arab league to end the bloodshed in syria but with conflicting reports of the number of casualties it's proving hard to get a true picture of events on the ground. as europe plans to oil oil from iran there are concerns that the move could hit countries most dependent on iranian crude like spain with some analysts convinced that the measures were forced

upon the e.u. by the united states. and several high profile al qaeda militants have been killed in pakistan in a recent series of u.s. drone attacks but the london based bureau of investigative journalism has found that hundreds of civilians died in similar strikes a fact america seems to ignore. or next to a nazi we speak to the pakistani foreign minister who tells us why the united states secret war on terror is actually doing more harm than good. she's the youngest foreign minister and of all that has to deal with some of the toughest security challenges he not rabani khar pakistan's foreign minister is joining us now on r.t. thank you very much for your time minister it's been more than ten years since pakistan joined the u.s. military operations in afghanistan do you think that was the right thing to do you see if. you would you know things look very different but of course.

the collaboration that pakistan has had in the last ten years pakistan has bit of a heavy price for that but it is also a fact that pakistan inhibits the region inhabits the region and will continue to have the street and and this region has some serious problems the region has some serious problems but into terrorism and pakistan has always maintained that it is important to have collaborative joint efforts to be able to rid the streets and rather than for law sort of unitary approaches. in how we want to rid the streets and you mentioned. the price of your involvement in afghanistan has been pretty high many thousand of your citizens lost their lives millions people have been replaced there are estimates that it cost your country around seventy billion u.s. dollars but we often hear criticism about pakistan's role. but there garstin involvement in afghanistan from the american side do you think the united

states treats you fairly. i would like to answer that question by seeing the. two solid robust partnership is that each able to live or operate within the bounds of what is. believed to be you know what has been agreed treating fairly is concerned i think pakistan has in this particular case not been treated fairly by anybody. for that matter because pakistan continues to lose pakistan continues to lose in terms of economic costs in terms of the social cost i think sometimes that is not emphasized on enough so we continue to lose in many many ways but some times the rule that is that is put on pakistan is a rule which is understandable which defies logic so to speak because if the first country to benefit from is stable one stands pakistan and the first country

to lose from in you know unstable understand is also pakistan so pakistan stick a very high and that is what is commonly believed that yes pakistan sticks are very high but pakistan sticks are very high in having stability in afghanistan not instability in the stand so we have maintained and we state very clearly that it is really for the one people to determine what course of action they want to take in any way possible whether they want to have strategic alliance with a country a country b. it's a sovereign country we must respect them as that but pakistan's rule in any way can only be there to support of i think saying that pakistan is cause of the problem and is creating trouble is an imaginary solution it is an imaginary blame it is an imaginary looking for an answer but the real solutions to real problems have to be faced you know on the ground now as we all know that the united states has been taking on

a lead role in this military operation. why do you think with all its military power and the resources that are invested into this campaign why anything. the results are not that impressive as a few there could be i think i'm not the right person to answer that question it should be somebody from the us administration i want to question to be right i don't think it is important with the us is succeeding or is winning in afghanistan or not what is important is that of one stance is winning or not because the goal of the u.s. and pakistan and the region and all the forty eight countries which operate in the understand is to make of understand when if i may come back to the issue of american criticism for just one question president obama said in a number of occasions that one of the reasons why the united states is using drones to file for your territory and to hit targets on your territory is because the pakistani authorities allegedly. are not in control of that

own land and my question is. why pakistan tolerating the use of military technology that are hitting targets on pakistani land that ultimately oftentimes lead to the. loss of life among the pakistani citizens this is one of the major problems that keeps us from achieving our successes in our view. not only completely illegal and awful and have north resolution to be used within the domains of international law but even more importantly they are counterproductive to your objective of getting this rich region rid of militancy and terrorism and extremism because if one strike leads to getting you target number one or target number three to do you're creating five more targets or ten more targets in the militancy that it breeds in the in the for

doing that it gives to the militants to attract more people to join the ranks we are today in pakistan suffering from the consequences. what you know many other powers of the world decided to do in that region to rid itself of the challenge that appeared in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine which was the soviet invasion of one star now in trying to deal with we have created certain groups which are to be. a challenge to everybody so again do we want to repeat the same mistakes again clearly pakistan doesn't think so and pakistan has categorically said that it is illegal under full counterproductive other any than ears in your view reasonable values that pakistan could take in case of drone attacks beyond forcing its concern or a distraction my question to you is it just an issue of some countries allowing.

greater freedom and greater perth far off foreign policy tools than others that would be a very unfair world and i hope that's not a world that we are moving towards and therefore the questions of illegality and under full. is an extremely important one and luke lee currently no compromise in pakistan about that if you look as i said i think this is partially one of the major reasons which is responsible for where we are today and pakistan country which. considers itself to be a sovereign country to consider to be an independent country has therefore decided to reassess the whole terms of engagement because for to us it is very clear that this is not part of the terms of engagement if that clarity is required elsewhere i guess the parliament will be in its right to be able to define it but please approach that we've taken the approach that we're taking is not that of a confrontation the prudes that we're taking is that for doing the partnership

which is which is based on mutual respect and based on mutual interest just last week. and her report was leaked to the media that pakistani security forces and maintaining contacts with. terrorism and extremist organizations that are operating in afghanistan as far as i understand there was ever an. allegation that they're supporting them financially. is this true first of all this is not a new to report we were told by need to at least that this is a. single person not report but it's thing the country and the single person. pretty much. all the bottle because this is not an accusation or allegation that to be made on part of the specific context of the mention we're with the taliban of all to intelligence agencies i think every intelligence agency

in the world particularly the ones which of world. i mean. with one group or the other and all of them at some level and this does are now pretty much out in the open because people are openly talking about talking to these so i think just creating you know this is this is something which is not even worth a comment quite frankly the united states is expected to withdraw its troops from afghanistan and a matter of a few years is pakistan looking forward to that event but you see again they came here with some goals and objectives we would hope that most of those goals and objectives are met or at least partially met and we would hope that when the. understand of one son is a better place than when they first came but the long term presence of foreign troops in the region is always always counterproductive. yes but we would also be very very mindful of what is the situation on the ground when they leave because

instability more instability is clearly something that this region cannot cannot afford i'd like to switch gears a little bit and ask you about iran you know the west is now piling its pressure on that country which is your neighbor and longtime partner. how would pakistan respond in a case of military strike against iran we would strongly ask all countries to desist from any option which is military at all because this region has already seen too much and we do not want any further destabilization. we feel very strongly that these things can be you know let alone the negotiation table that there should be flexibility shown. and that dialogue should be considered to be the only way forward and it would have disastrous let me go to pakistan feels it would have disastrous results for the region what about syria do you support

a military intervention against assad regime we support no military intervention against in the region because we feel that the independent sovereign the territorial integrity of a country are important aspects and there in shined in many many places now what we need to ensure the international community is is that violence from any side is not given a lunch is not allowed to. move forward thank you very much for a time minister thank you. wealthy british style. is not on the tightly.

that hundreds of civilians died in similar strikes a fact america seems to ignore. time now for the sports with kate. and i thank you for joining me for this and here are the headlines. this is appointed interim manager as opposed. to cheers a pretty short english coach following the exit of fabio capello right now is the favorite so far. as well as he agrees to stay at russian champions league for another three years. fashion victims russian side who takes place last first if you are needs top sixteen they narrowly lost to almost any in the last. four ball first though and in the end under twenty one coach stuart pearce has been named as
