we went to have guns done twice in the last 6 months to record this footage. many people warned us that filming the opium crop being eradicated just wasn't realistic . and that our chances of finding villages willing to show us the crops when next to 0. they said we'd never be able to find out who's backing the drug trafficking business in a country that had a nato military presence for 14 years. that's what they said, that it wasn't easy, but we did manage to achieve our objective. my chair. so i did this
7:32 am

7:33 am
budget ran dry. investigative reporting is a serious challenge. you're expected to oil, the wheels a little by paying back sheesh before you can fill anything. the bottom of the movie, the driver and translator amolla saved today. they're not going to go back to this. is there any time you want to be shown in yellow teaching to show you that but let me pull it up. would it be a come on june, but if you will see me any more, does that lead to come on?
7:34 am
the police which basically means burned. money has become a local attraction. we're always traffic jams here. and pedestrian stop by just to stand on top of the bridge. and look at the denizens beneath. we were told that anything like this would have been unsinkable when the soviet union was here. or even under the taliban. ah, we had to pay a private gun to make sure we could fill me safely. ah, get to my neighbor, john john coleman. adam, i don't know they won't know to touch anything beneath the bridge under any circumstances. it's very easy to get infected here. most of the drug use as
7:35 am
a terminal. yeah. the my local standards, we enjoyed a warm welcome just the day before and i'm going to colleague had his lin smashed and he took a few punches off the under the bridge, a heroine fixed cost $6.00. that was how much one, local user, roswell, he called himself saying it all in here. they have all this good and all of those have any job job. so i had agreed to appear on camera in return some money. he volunteered to show us how he shoots up drugs, but we refuse that and instead offered him an alternative suggestion.
7:36 am
if i'm working with you, but we will get it booked at that, he does not joke. there are several state sponsored drug rehabilitation hospitals and couple we're planning to visit one to find out if they are able to admit a patient from the street. or if it's a time consuming process that involves tons of paperwork. if it was the up again, it was more of a broken despite having proper accreditation, we were soon detained by the state security service. we were accused of filming classified subjects and possibly for working for the extremists,
7:37 am
specifically the taliban. we know that we thought we did most love for their main camera was confiscated, but luckily they didn't see the 2nd way to look it up in one moment. the moment of course in the end we was taken to a police station and we refuse to pay back sage. we were forced to delete the material. we filmed on the main camera and then they let us go from there. i had no lucky semi go. i didn't look back either come interview them or not,
7:38 am
but they don't go that it's what is the book is that the was luckily that was only brush with the law as we later discovered. one of the police generals, remember, the word should have been very well. that means soviet the police immediately let us go with them on a raid the punitive one like, what is your name? yes, i sent a couple could you please? can you put you put me on hold on. i don't
7:39 am
know. and i don't i don't know what to do to get the movie on june. well, you know, a lot of good that one of the last 2 of you or did you want? i don't know more than happy to give you good coverage. you got did issue me a lot of them by dollars. well, you know, you're going to be the government tag or your partner going for your place in your petition to the point that the police are well aware of all the places where locals can buy drugs. most of the time they're sold from inside expensive houses secured behind high walls. no one
7:40 am
can get in without a warrant. but the minute word gets out that a raid has been planned, information seep through, to the drug dealers themselves, making it impossible to catch them read and it does not want to bring him, i guess issue with him. what's the most which media that you could get another good like you don't need to be the reciprocal cup or when you purchased it. so what does it mean to be submitted to the all of the uses arrested during the re was soon released by local standards. they didn't possess a big enough quantity to justify
7:41 am
a jail term. the police say there are about 700000 people like them in the city. that's almost 18 sense of couple of population. the the, me most of the big fish don't wait for the police in town. but at the checkpoint on the road into the city. the police call it the gates to couple. they have their own procedures and hardly ever used a special equipment that was purchased recently with us money. then laura customs, the old school methods looking for stashes in the more unlikely locations and following their instincts. one of the most surprising weapons against drugs we found was what they call the veracity test. they presume that
7:42 am
a real help at heart will give them away. you simply lay your hand on the suspect's chest and fill his pulse. we were a little skeptical at 1st. when a moment later, the officers did find the spanish of sheesh and his shoes. we will throw off in a little over in that same veracity to us through a shadow of a one man who driven his car to cabal from janelle about in the east of the country, around 1 o'clock today. so she'll be out of pocket in the other. she's about
7:43 am
my father telling me to cancellations for something because i'm without a chance to them with that unless you move that should be some of those are the thinking that this is a commonly used trick for traffic in drugs. the game showed that the tank was full, but there was actually no gas at all in its place. a 21 kilos, dash l o b and bobby is. that is by no means a large quantity by today's standards. a staggering 50 tons of opium and heroine confiscated at this checkpoint alone each year. hefty prices are put on the heads of the most zealous police officers. found my way to chess. miller definition to get charged. he said
7:44 am
it was one of the others above the supposed to tell on the the join me every thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me only one main thing is important for not as an internationally speaking, that is a nation's allowed to do anything. all the master races. and then you have the mind, nations who are the slave, the americans, rock, obama and others have had a concept of american exceptionalism. international law exist as
7:45 am
long as it serves the american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist. i turning this russian into this dangerous go, you man, that wants to take over the world. that was a culture strategy. so some of it in your own, i english v i v. i not leashed it off in one. interpret block nato to time it's our we move east. the reason us had gemini, is a dangerous is the live, the sovereignty of all the countries, the exceptionalism that america uses. and it's international. war planning is one of the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. if nature, what is founded, shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in large companies would lose millions and millions, or is business and business is good. and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fascist.
7:46 am
i the next morning and web back to the doctor. the place where drug users get together. this time were accompanied by the doctors who agreed to admit site and to the hospital. you know, get them up. we still need to do what he was saying was nowhere to be found. his phone number was blocked and the when no police to guard at this time, we were just about ready to leave empty handed. when 5 minutes later, sired reappeared out of the blue about
7:47 am
this time he wasn't happy to see as accompanied by doctors. when he learned the treatment would take almost one and a half months. he tried to back out to find the water. on the morning, they got my food and got him to put on them. a general i will do that, move on, formula must resign him. i was unable to 10 minutes of convincing. we finally told celia into going out without getting
7:48 am
a bill. no, did you make we'll give you the demo of my phone call. that is over 200 patients from around afghan. it's done currently undergoing treatment in this hospital. it's considered to be one of the best in couple a strip search is conducted before people are allowed in. the was a time when dealers disguised his visitors, came to smuggle drugs into the facility. he bought a car that took him body. elaine nick did with him
7:49 am
in 10 minutes later we barely recognised sight he'd been required to part company with his hair. that's compulsory for anyone who is admitted to the hospital the 1st 15 days of treatment of the toughest. he'll be in quarantine because this is when patients go through what's called arrow and withdraw him on the focus with him. he caught one at the other division actually more money in your function space for either kayla or mandy. demario equity will michelle formulation. right, so we're going to, as i mean i got about him, so i made one up and
7:50 am
move on to the water in what is it i do show over the same time. should everything be handled? my question should because that's the one thing which is going to come up with what you can move. this is move in with you. pretty sure it was peter would him with putting it does not match it. if you can, you didn't do such a deal with this one and they just told me
7:51 am
i the following morning we had agreed to meet a fellow citizen for several years. russia as being sharing satellite data with chemistry about the whereabouts of undercover hello and of arteries within its borders. there was an operation recently to destroy and illegal heroine love. they promised that we'd be able to see the police footage. 3 of them voted in, but i thought it was 0 way to move in which the quote you could give them a report from
7:52 am
the federal workers because there's one in which the new one is really not that the. what was your record? did you say you went to the distribute on the other one, but you needed a bunch of hold up on the credit for from a minimum go off the phone for me because the question got was i would say this is it was somebody for me to consume a family, go to school. i need to get a hold of me to kind of give you what you were still get a and he'll be nipple supposed to go on the stage for me to renew later. and he
7:53 am
comes fully and got it done. i will go for the district, but it also assumes an important question remains. why did looking into national forces that afford taliban radicals? enough chemist on for more than 14 years continually overlooked their main source of income namely him drugs. we wanted to arrange a meeting with a former field commander who started to fight the taliban even before the nato military arrived in the country. none of the men of the house, aided by a relative who act his interpreter, shows us pictures of his former fellow soldiers. each one has died a mysterious death in recent years. as almost all morning long. we should be late because from what they did a little bit. we need to because
7:54 am
she knew something was to stick the would have to be lets you see it because it just says in the eighty's field commander had to come, fought alongside the merger deem against the soviet forces. years later, he even treats his former enemies with respect. unlike his current ones at the well, we went with one fatal wouldn't and number and how did it and all who i'm john got orders on on the moment. we'll make sure all of you call by the song, but we only saw them. how did a, what did you call them? and i wanted him a minute to get a job. so those donors show on chicago in the commission by john burn them off. you're just going to go that
7:55 am
on general, how becomes advice we drove out to a couple of summer where we tried to find people who'd actually witness nato soldiers working with the taliban. i'll be talking to you. what did you a business usually? are you going to spend on a new vision or was it took a breach state cookie today? you've been there already there. when you push revision to the couple, you can pull up some, going to the several dozen families survived. the nato air strikes, the crowd were bombing the taliban, that had ordinary working people's homes. even though everything was documented, several years later, these people have still been unable to secure any compensation data sheet on accountability. she problem, she was, she was gonna try to speak with you, but you could, if you would,
7:56 am
you almost look there was once an american military base close to where these people used to live. they can see puppy fields flowering in the distance. but even though the crop was that close to a nato base, no one seemed to be to bob, and i'm to kind of what i could. that was what you meant us allen's up. how about angelica, the, the 2nd curly did auditor both other, all of a. so my, my, the jalap of what it was done to see that the, what the, what are you, does that, you know, that you deal with, john? you will just out of the mind me out to jot i'd use out of the hardest thing for anyone visiting afghanistan to figure out these days is where the $7000000000.00 that the us allocated to combating afghan heroin has gone since 2001. if what we
7:57 am
saw in central cabal today is the pinnacle of the anti drug campaign. and it's very clear why the overall acreage of poppy fields in the country continues to grow each year. just as we were about to finish filling the anti drug wall or phone read it was science later, the man we'd help get into a drug rehabilitation program the previous day. yes. literally waiting for you. nobody evidence of the brother no shows. when you go to columbus firm, which newly kind of this is our 3rd time visiting? probably. so it's workable as drug use as get together. say it had said he didn't want us to interview him this time he'd run away from rehab. and the only thing he
7:58 am
was asking for now was money, presumably to pay for him to get home. we had to be honest and face by plan to help. so i had get treatment for his addiction, had simply ended in failure. he returned to where he'd come from and we joined his old buddies. mm mm mm mm. the what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation,
7:59 am
8:00 am
bank guys are the financial survival guy. when customers go buy, you reduce the bin l well, reduce the lower the best under cutting, but what's good food market to the global economy? me who's on the line here on our face smoke, can we see the carpet up this morning? i'm going to american defense system reportedly into 75 rockets causing this cruise in the countries capital and following the latest development pieces. the 2nd violence escalation within the past 24 hours situation still tense with, with more threats, more attack.
