and broadcasting live it direct from our studios and some to moscow this is our team six thirty in the morning let's take a look at the top headlines of the stories which are truly right here shortly as the u.n. prepares for its humanitarian mission in syria violence in the country intensifies with deadly attacks on the country's second city and the capital several blasts in the last two days have claimed of lives of twenty nine people and injured scores more. the hard luck story of a loving father caught in a tragedy that's how the u.s. media is portraying the american soldier accused of slaughtering sixteen afghan

soldiers in a nighttime shooting spree an investigation by the afghan parliament claims as many as twenty other soldiers may have been involved in the killings slightly contradicting washington's that version of events. and dozens are arrested in new york as the occupy wall street movement marks six months since it made its stand against corporate greed and injustice in america police moved in to clear the car the park after activists refused to stop such intensity and leave the area. afghanistan's that finance minister has told r.t. that it's hard to assess just how much damage the devastation the war has brought to his country and its people that interview is coming up next right here on our team. it. mr afghanistan's finest

minister it's great to have you with us we look to be with you so it's been a decade since afghanistan has become the front stage for the war on terror 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 god a fair go on this one if you three hundred billion three hundred million three hundred billion is still here and while the devotion of thought goes beyond that we cannot make it give us truthful sort of public public office mission diversity it's the state institutions putting growth together. is not an easy can years ago after the taliban when we come back and i think existed it's not just the infrastructure but the government did not exist the system did not exist but with

the support of the international community here with their participation a number of fronts we believe me enormous progress but we have still a long way to go or two words need a nation they have to rely on its own institutions to survive to make progress or sort of foreign aid accounts about ninety percent ninety five percent of the afghan g.d.p. we all know that two thousand and fourteen is the deadline for posed to withdrawal of international forces plus the reduction of aid money how will of constant sustain its economy after two thousand and fourteen we do after all do not want the international forces to be in afghanistan fighting for us. even in our longer the indian needed from the video out there we have to believe the prime responsibility of your own security should be. there's a possibility of afghans and you think they will be ready by two thousand and four we are already if you if you go into again afghanistan if. many of the

operations in different parts of the countries are carried out by afghan forces and our forces again. because they are culturally sensitive because they are part of the afghan nation. their. rule will be much more effective in a much more positive than the role of an international force or what is the economic thought that there is no doubt. it will have some impact on our economy but there is no nation in the world with an indifferent rely on foreign aid. so when we are talking about transition we are not thinking only about transition but also economic transition even if in the short term there is a downturn to the economy and the longer term there will be. again with with with proper after institutions and with peace i think absolutely an economy that will be more sustainable than it is today but exactly how bad will the town turn be because

you know there are people who believe that afghan economy is time it's stone or drunk and as far as they're concerned right after two thousand and fourteen it's had it if not towards an economic disaster or definitely a very sharp economic crisis it will not be the fortunate thing is there you have to three years true to think about this in to prepare ourselves for. right in front of us we had just a few moments ago we had the bomb conference in which we got the commitment and a pledge from the international community for its long term financial commitment to afghanistan both economic and security in a couple of months we will have a chicago event and it will summit as one of the g. eight summit and i wish there would be a specific commitment to. our security forces for a longer term financial commitment and right after that in july we will have

a conference on afghanistan focusing on economics and development look you can this where we have to secure. a longer term commitment financial commitment significant commitment a lot it will come down over time but it will not sort of sharply come down and plentiful as for foreign aid they say that there's a huge difference between money spent on afghanistan and the money spent in afghanistan dollars for institutions that operate in your country really help reboot the economy or is it really a question of pumping money from one pocket or another well this is an issue with thought only. not everything the pens are in a country spends in their country. it is goods into the country or it doesn't even go into the country it's more acute of a problem in our country thirteen dead is again the focus of our recent discussions

two years ago we had the kabul conference that was the prime focus therefore we need to see more spend through institutions we need to see more aligned through afghan priorities that we would like to see more spin in afghanistan there's this spending should generate opportunities within the country 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 is always. it's topic for afghanistan and correct me if i'm wrong from what i understand it mounts to about thirty five to fifty percent of afghans g.d.p. right mind i'm not not not really how much it's 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 businesspeople 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 value are from one hundred billion dollars. but what what gets to the producers the farmers is not more than five hundred or eight hundred million dollars that's the figure that he means in afghanistan so it 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 a big percentage there is about two to two point five billion dollars that goes to the middle some of them act and some of them are non afghan's that money does not stray into afghanistan that money goes into regional countries to regional haves and destinations so the actual figure that remains in afghanistan is quite not ok but here is my question as this financial aid money to clients do you think you can

assume more and more of your people rely on helping the economy there is certainly a possibility but the thing is this if you look into of honest money it is closely correlated with insecurity places that are secure that are within our hands we don't see the production of walking that is only in india where we do not have control of our saw so that if we fork us again on helping us constitution to secure our country and if we help us in put pressure. on our said elements that come increases in security in afghanistan we believe that with security instability the nuclear issue will be done within a more sustainable in a more real manner but again if as long as there insecurity as long as there are out of reach there will be the opium of the production of opium and some of that

money goes again to the trafficker some of this even goes to the insurgents it finances insurgents so it's in the interests of interests of insurgents as well to allow production as well as in the environment for the production of opening a can. you know over sixty percent of afghans town's population is under the age of twenty five it's their respective labor market for these people otherwise there really is a subject for terrorist recruiters this is the biggest challenge and that's why we say. we need to focus on more sustainable. in fighting generation out there in the exit exist and focusing on our great culture that exist and focusing on infrastructural trade and transit there exists in the middle of the. they use the afghans that footage of kids and so again opportunities for education for higher education this can provide again the talented labor for production

within afghanistan in some could even be exported now in two thousand and two hundred cars i who is now the president of afghanistan said if the international community is really serious in seeing afghanistan secure it must help in reconstruction of infrastructure projects when we speak about this projects no one is interested has it changed this chain you first of all we must acknowledge the big piece of infrastructure that have happened. the ring road of which connects our major cities is worth right now. billion dollars worth of infrastructure it has been built not nice small amount of investment that has happened the institutions the cities the early crissy to date no major cities have electricity in the next couple of years there will be for that expanded the first time afghanistan has the

railway which will be expanded upon. for the first time again in afghanistan we have the development of telecom. industry with private investment of some billion dollars it is pithily prepared by the environment did the increase. and vestment by others in the mineral resources and in the chinese coming investing some five billion plus. dollars in one nine in the copper mine in the indians in canadian is coming in investing 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 for the first time and i want miller does also did exist ten years ago twenty years ago twenty five years ago but today they are that much more interested in this in our oil and gas little thought of things i think there are without the support of the international community and without the achievements

of the. present are those government in the past ten years or not have happened to do things that happen in addition to that of course there are particularly what we call it the cloud formation ticket is to focus on some other transform missional foundational investment that one porters on a path to sell three lines and self-sufficiency and that is again infrastructure that it will focus on i would agree culture sector of warthe into food security as well as a commercial on our transport sector which is good for expanding our own. kraig with others as well as transit through afghanistan hello chris if you would just good food again industrial sector as well as for commercial. railway connection which again will for thirty eight he better environment for our members forces as well as for transit and freight for those sort of some of the key focus is that we

maldonado crashed out on the final lap but no such problems for button and his mclaren team who seemed fully prepared for this season. every win means a lot to you. for us you know as a team and think. it really shows how important the winter is you mean we've had a strong winter. qualifying already showed up. so it's nice to think why would a victory today for a trace of the new season. in rugby wales have won the six nations with a perfect record after beating france sixteen points tonight the big three avenging their defeats of the french in the semifinals of the world cup and also handing them their third grand slam in eight years england finished second after beating parlance thirty points tonight and scotland take the wooden spoon after their defeats if it's only for wales though there are six nations success proves a point. yes also. the people he's concerned about reveal the back of it in the

world cup i think appropriate for you no different than. i have to get involved with scotty got the moment i think the simulation and all the players coaches stuff everything just seems to go mad at the moment and. there's usually the most enjoyable camping out involved so far is that because of just water the how to put in over the last six months now there will be no fairytale come back for swimming great for the five time of the champion failing to qualify for the london games after any less than perfect performance at the straight in trials but the twenty nine year old says he's not giving up just yet. i wanted to get back in the pool i want to start racing again i want to be competitive again and you know i wanted to go to be with. you know i still want to do all of those things. you know i've missed. you know what was huge go. from eight to

that i. think. this is the last chance for places to qualify for the upcoming summer that us. and the women's final russians feel it he can manage the defender twenty eleven title but took the time to overcome a chinese opponents after which he was pleased with the women but said a lot more needs to be done prior to the olympics and with my training and i was pleased with the performance we put in today but it was still needs to be done in preparation for the olympics especially psychologically as that is the most difficult aspect in the men's final rushes nicholai caldwell of the managed to get france's zillion pierre in the heart for about the win brought the cup back into russian hands once again after princes from hungary and south korea claimed victory in twenty ten and twenty eleven respectively but today's victory doesn't mean i'm
