my. my. the variety that takes your breath away to eating across the skies over the monish good to know the biggest salt lake in europe and more than two hundred species of birds that are also it is there are on the verge of extinction on these islands in the south of russia the fire shot up before migrating to other parts of the world as well as other species at the modest would you know feed. these words are waiting for their parents to bring them food to the best cash for them is in a small area of the lake where the water is relatively fresh as fish cannot survive in the salty a part of the money and the lakes getting sold every year the monish with the lows and all to fish oil reservoir which was spilled into nine hundred fifty eight in

the areas hot climate the water evaporates quickly and the local saw as natural saltiness takes over a call from birds that drying out of the lake could also threaten one of the world's biggest populations of mustangs. there are more than four hundred of the animals here the air is a protected wildlife reserve it's a place of peace and calm in recent decades dozens of canals have been dug around here to cultivate the local staps broad grassy plains this may be useful for humans but it does badly hit many species as the animals here for instance some idea antelopes just some forty years ago there were more than two million. living in asia and nowhere else in the world but now people brought the species to the brink of extinction this region has been reaching life for thousands of years but now we know relatively short space of time it's vibrant diversity of creatures is second

and all from it's by man and nature itself. i'm now joined by pakistan's former ambassador to the united states who also used to be the national security advisor to the prime minister mr mahmud ali durrani served thank you very much for coming here because you the united states started the war on terror back in two thousand and one now international forces are expected to pour out by two thousand and fourteen and many do ask the question is this is one of victory or defeat well it's certainly not. i think. the way they went in and you get because they had i don't tend they succeeded in.

reaching the objectives in fact when i was a massacre in washington number of years back i said that the way you're going you're not going to succeed and the tragedy is that you will make us the fall guy and i think today in your opinion what was the purpose of your peroration and why are the winning now well the purpose was to defeat the taliban. and remove them and initially they did succeed and removing the taliban from kabul but evidently they had not studied the history of of one instant and they didn't realize that they had vanished survived and came back and the taliban. today i think if you look at a couple of indicators you look at the rate of the government. you see how much law and order did this thing about it you see how popular of the government that. is

their freedom of movement is their development has the poppy production gone down and the gun running gone down you take any indicator. they have not succeeded this brings us to the next question since well al qaeda has been largely defeated perhaps in afghanistan by the taliban store there it's actually aiming now to become a political force also and the terrorist network is on the rise so after the alliance is gone who will be there to stand up to the terrorists well that's a very difficult question. one needs to nation is very factor today on ethnic lines you know do not separate the west to separate east to separate and the south which is essentially population. separate fooled homewood unity if there was a human unity but at least they were working together that's over there is i

believe going to be a lot of problem after the u.s. troops paying fourteen and there is going to be turmoil and. there's a great probability that the taliban will become strongest group and of understand let's focus on pakistan for a moment just recently was saw a huge wave of anti-american protests in the muslim world caused by this anti muslim film made in the united states also pakistanis i have already been outraged by the recent needle strike which killed pakistani soldiers and we're also constantly hear about drones which don't only kill terrorists but also just ordinary pakistani and is this too big of a price that pakistan peed back in two thousand and one when it became an ally of the united states well it's a matter of opinion but. the majority of pakistanis do feel

that they have a huge place the u.s. gives us monetary support it helps us in funding but overall in terms of. in terms of manpower and in turn terms of infrastructure and wear and tear of military equipment if you all work it out it's been a colossal lot of pakistan and more than that and we have terrorism in the country in our tribal area before nine eleven we had no issue we had no terrorism but no there is terrorism particularly in the tribal area and the rest so we have suffered hugely it's widely believed that terrorists in afghanistan often operate from their bases in pakistan to what extent does the pakistani elite sympathize with the terrorists well i think. pakistani elite does

nor sympathize with the taliban and this is also a bit if you could put up a wall between india and saudi between pakistan and afghanistan on the dude in lane afghanistan will still remain on i think it is the north spears in of one is done to create problems. for the i said forces so yes there is limited element of people who cross the border from pakistan and create trouble but i would say that did not more than five percent ten percent saying that all the trouble that is another one is done emanate from pakistan that is totally false so with the taliban now being an example of a terrorist movement which is growing political now. can this be viewed as a tendency in the region well i'm not too sure about that but devoted political thought before nine eleven if you remember the taliban were ruling of understand

they were the people running the country so devoid of a political force then they've started fighting against what they considered as a foreign invader and. unfortunately they seem to have won out because america has lost appetite to fight anymore there are doubts that after the alliance with draws from of gonna stand the taliban won't be able to fulfill this power vacuum what sort of threats including security threats does this create for pakistan i think for you to probably. not be able to resolve. the issues of understand there are many and there are very entrenched problems and the taliban themselves may not be able to resolve the problem but that is that is. understanding that possibly they may form the government i'm not sure about that but hypothetically let's say

they form the got but what happens to pakistan i think pakistan will have a problem because the year of one taliban are going to support the party. thought quite honestly the pakistani average person doesn't want a taliban type of a government in pakistan so this is support our taliban which is not good for our health so should pakistan reconcile with the taliban or aim to weaken it and well pakistan i'm sorry if you read what's happening in pakistan nearly heart of our army and we have a fairly large army nearly half our army is deployed today in fighting be inside. see. pakistan is doing the best that it can you so you have to understand the capability you're part no you look at of one is. about much smaller

area and you have the top. military forces operating there and they have not been able to defeat the taliban why does the world expect miracles from pakistan we have a much weaker country we are trying our best we've had the maximum military and civilian casualties so we are doing our best it this is a wrong notion that pakistan is as they say hunting down home then running with the hare you know this is this is pakistan educated yes there was a time when pakistan supported the taliban government in afghanistan that is true it's not hated but i think we made a turnaround and we supported the u.s. and we would invade them together in this fight. but the impression that the world is getting is that pakistan you know the elite as you said in pakistan is

supporting the taliban that is not true let's picture when the alliance leaves of aniston and if the security situation deteriorates or do you see drone strikes in certain intensifying well. it's a possibility that the drone control will intensify yes but how is this do you do in general in pakistan kind of others that are going in pakistan be drawn strikes are taken very very negatively in fact the unpopularity of the u.s. in pakistan is one of the there are many reasons but one of the fundamental reasons is the drone strike you know everybody says that don't strikes. cause a lot of collateral damage. i personally feel that the drones are very accurate concision weapons because unilateral saudi damage and color prevent me but not so much the issue is more of some value to the pakistani people don't like

that the us has come into pakistan barmaid areas and this object that this is more although we talk about that much but i think the issue of drone strikes is more political and people don't like the us to come into our territory while a sovereign entity what's your view now is the relationship between pakistan and the united states like well unfortunately it is at its lowest ebb i've been. to washington while i was there it was my effort to do my best to improve relations between pakistan and us but unfortunately with time and. american suffering losses in one of stand we are becoming the fall guy and relationships. look how is the war on terror viewed by

the pakistanis themselves to the see americans as fighting a common enemy or what's what's your take on that we are allies and we have a common agenda to defeat the extremists but it's sad that in spite of having a common agenda a common enemy actually does the first kind of minor history that the u.s. and pakistan has a common agenda to defeat the taliban but yet in spite of that the mistrust is so deep between the two countries that it has a relationship which could have been very good what in your opinion should be done to fix this mistrust to boost the real. we should learn to talk to each other not past each other i think there are nor the shortcuts to face i think the best way of fixing mistrust between two individual is openly. roll up your

sleeves and talk create just be your diplomacy and. doesn't cut how do you see pakistan's relations developing with the united states in the next year now that barack obama is known that is staying in the president's speech i don't think it would make a dramatic difference for the relationship if. obama is coming back on the republicans had come back there is the c.d.s. mistrust between our two countries is very unfortunate because you know i've lived in america and the american people don't very good very nice people but there is no mistrust between the two governments and that's fine he said thank you very much for your time this was a stance former ambassador to the u.s. and the former national security advisor to the pakistani prime minister mr mahmud
