a bloodbath with washington once again apologizing for the actions of its military . and next afghanistan's finance minister tells our team that it's hard to assess just how much damage and devastation the wars brought to his country and its people . it. mr afghanistan's finance minister it's great to have you with us sir glad to be with you so it's been a decade since afghanistan has become the front stage for the war on terror led by the united states how much does it cost the nation the war has cost the nation a lot it's not i don't think you can put a dollar figure on this. if you three hundred billion two hundred billion three
4:32 pm
hundred billion is still here in. the diversity of thought goes beyond economics. diversity is the public public often ishant diverse states of the state institutions courting go through together. it's not easy twenty years ago after the taliban when we come back nothing existed it's not just the. infrastructure but but the government did not exist the system did not exist but with the support of the international community with their participation a number of fronts we believe. enormous progress we're still a long way to go all out towards the nation and rely on its own institutions to survive in space so that foreign aid accounts about ninety percent ninety five percent of the afghan g.d.p. will know that two thousand and fourteen is the deadline for both the withdrawal of
4:33 pm
the international forces plus the reduction of aid money how will of grandstand sustain its economy after two thousand and fourteen we do after and do not want the international forces to be in afghanistan fighting for us. even in our longer the indian media from the video outside we have to believe the prime responsibility of taking over security should be. it's not even if after and you think there will be ready by two thousand and four we are already if you if you go into afghanistan if . many of the operations in different parts of the countries are carried out by afghan forces and our forces. because they are culturally sensitive because they are part of the afghan nation. there. will be much more effective in much more positive than the role of an international force that was the economics of this there is no doubt. it will have some impact on
4:34 pm
our economy but there is no nation in the world there can indifferently rely on foreign it. so when we are talking about transition we are not thinking only about securitization but also economic transition even if in the shorter term there is a downturn pretty economy and the longer term there will be. good with what with proper afghan institutions and repeat i think absolutely an economy that will be more sustainable due to but exactly how bad will the downturn be because you know there are people who believe that afghan economy is wartime it's donor drunk and as far as they're concerned right after two thousand and fourteen it's had it if not towards an economic disaster definitely a very sharp economic crisis it will not be the fortunate thing is that we have three years think about this and to prepare ourselves for. right in front of we
4:35 pm
have just a few moments ago we had the bonn conference in which we got the commitment from the international community for its long term financial commitment to afghanistan both economic and security and couple of months we will have a chicago event and it will summit as well of the g. eight summit and which there will be a specific commitment to. our security forces for a longer term financial commitment and right after in july we will have a conference on afghanistan focusing on economics and development tokyo and that's where we have to secure. a longer term commitment financial commitment significant commitment all law it will come down over time but it will not truck become down in twenty four as for foreign aid they say that there's a huge difference between money spent on afghanistan and the money spent in
4:36 pm
afghanistan dollars for institutions that operate in your country really help but the economy or is it really a question of pumping money from one pocket to another well this is the need for an ear that not everything there are no countries in that country. it is good into their country or it doesn't even go into their country is it more acute of a problem in your country to thirteen years and it is again the focus of our recent discussions three years ago we had recovered confront it was the prime focus there if we need to see more spend through afghan institutions if we need to see more aligned through afghan priorities that we would like to see a more strain in afghanistan there this training should generate opportunities within the country and then big dollars going into companies that spend a portion of it in afghanistan and a big portion of it had back to their country and of course the opium economy which
4:37 pm
is always. it's topic for afghanistan and correct me if i'm wrong from what i understand it bounce to about thirty five to fifty percent of afghans didn't feel right now not not not really how much is not really you see. the there is what it generates is accurate for example it generates income for farmers a generates income for the middlemen the business people who connect the international market with the afghan production and it generates again it has a huge market in the countries. in europe in russia in everywhere else it's in again value worth one hundred billion dollars. but what what gets to the produce of the farmers is no more than five hundred or eight hundred million dollars that's the figure of the time in afghanistan so it
4:38 pm
hundred million dollars as part of sixteen billion dollars worth of g.d.p. this past year or could be seventeen years is a small percentage. is not of a percentage there is about two point five billion dollars there goes to the middlemen some of them are asked and some of them are non afghans that money does not stay in afghanistan the money goes into regional countries to regional hubs and destinations so the actual struggle that remains in afghanistan is quite smart ok but here is my question as this financial aid money to kinds to you even to see more and more of your people rely on opium coming there is certainly a possibility but the thing is that if you look into afghanistan it is closely correlated with insecurity places there are secure that are within our hands we don't see the production of oakland that is only in india where we do not have
4:39 pm
control of our soul so that if we focus again on helping afghan institutions to secure our country and if we have and put pressure. on ourselves elements that come in clear insecurity in afghanistan we believe that mr putin stability the the nuclear issue will be dealt with in a more sustainable in a more manner but again asked as long as they're in security as long as there are areas out of reach there will be the opium of the production of opium and some of that money goes to the traffickers some of this even goes to the insurgents sundance's insurgents so it's in the interest interests of insurgents as well to allow production as well as a good environment for the production of food in a can. you know over sixty percent of afghanistan's population is under the age of twenty five it's their respective labor market for these people otherwise they're
4:40 pm
really easy subjects for terrorist recruiters this is the biggest challenge in the earth why we see this we need to focus on more sustainable. employment generation another in that exist exist and focusing on i would be culture that exists in focusing on infrastructure trade and transit there exists in the middle of all things with. in the case. they use the afghans that before they do so again opportunities for education for higher education this can provide again the. labor for production within afghanistan in some could even be exported now in two thousand two hundred cars i who is now the president of afghanistan said if the international community is really serious in saying afghanistan secure it must help begin reconstruction of infrastructure projects when we speak about this project no one is interested has it changed. first of all we must acknowledge the
4:41 pm
big pieces of infrastructure have happened the range of understand which connects our major cities is worth right now our billion dollars worth of infrastructure it has been built and it's not a nice small amount of investment that has happened the institution of cities the electricity rate no major cities have electricity in the next couple of years it will be for that expanded the first time afghanistan has the railway which would be expanded upon. for the first time again afghanistan we have the development of telecom. industry with private investment of some billion dollars for therapy it would by the environment into the increase. that and with men by by others in the mineral resources and in the trainees coming investing some five billion plus. dollars in one mine in the copper mining the indians in canadians
4:42 pm
coming in and listing anywhere between ten to fifteen billion dollars in the next three to five years in another mineral deposit in iron ore and of course other. investors as well are taking interest for the first time and i would remember the sources that exist in years ago twenty years ago twenty five years ago but today they're much more interested in this oil and gas those are the sort of things i think what are the support of the international community and without the achievements as the. presence of the government in the past twenty years or not have happened so the things that happen in addition to that of course there are particularly what we call it the transformation ticket is to focus on some other transformational foundational investment that will put us on a path to self-reliance and self-sufficiency and that is again infrastructure that
4:43 pm
will focus on a what ignited affected wharf in a full security as well as a commercial and our transport sector which is good for expanding our on. a grade what i did as well as transit through afghanistan killer chris a deal which is good for a good in industrial sector as well as for commercial. railway connection which again word for it. written by the men for a one minute is for through the world or for profit and great for the other thirty some of the heat for you will have you in the next afghan finance minister mr. we wish you all the best in achieving your goals for the development of your country thank you very much thank you very much for that important.

craft. and one of his plays friends comic playwright seasonally summed up fencing as the art of giving without receiving and certainly a noble notion and with one hundred thirteen men and one hundred fourteen women participating in the thirty seventh annual moscow saber fencing tournament it's no wonder the event continues to grow in popularity year by year preliminary rounds were healthy throughout saturday in order to determine this year's individual champions italians and the french have always had a penchant for the sport but there were a plethora of other nations represented as well. and sometimes. i. think this is the last chance for fences to qualify for the upcoming summer gas. and women's final rushes the feel of beauty can manage the defender twenty eleven title but took her time to
