. -- afghan sercurity forces. we hope this morning to general dunford can add to the afghan security forces. we hope this morning general dunford can provide a broader picture of our goals in afghanistan, the progress in building of current security forces, with prospects are for the next two years of returns of transition to kaffiyeh control, and what steps the leaders are taking to address and mitigate the insider threat. the recent increase in insider attacks by afghan security forces personnel or impersonators' against u.s. and coalition forces threatens the essential trust between isaf forces and afghan partners. at the same time, according to isaf data, the number of enemy- initiated attacks over the last three months is down 5% compared to the same three-month period one year ago. if confirmed, general dunford will assume command as the security transition in afghanistan as it enters a critical phase. getting afghan security forces in the lead for security continues to be the key to success of the afghanist

the areas under afghan security lead now cover approximately 75% of the afghan population. afghan security forces will have primary responsibility for security throughout afghanistan once the transition process is completed next summer. isaf forces will continue to provide support, including combat support if necessary, and till the end of 2014. afghan security forces have in general shown that they're willing to fight and the afghan people want to have their own forces rather than coalition forces keeping their communities secure. a key element of this transition, which general dunford will be overseeing come is a shift in the isaf mission from having coalition combat forces partnering and operating with similar units of the afghan forces to a security force assistance mission. now, in that mission, made great officers and senior noncommissioned officers form security force assistance teams, or sfats, which are embedded in small units as advisors within afghan forces to help build their capability, even as afghan forces continue their move into the lead for combat operatio

the very much worked in support of afghan intent and afghan priorities as market times over and that'shere their concentration is to make sure those gains can be sustained. interims about me in the more densely populated areas falling for a particularly afghan police, they are made very much in place. when you do fight at the level of electricity in the sense you get is quite stark. >> i look in the eyes of most of the afghan leadership in helmand and i've done so for a number of years now. we are really now beginning to see a sense of ownership by that leadership in particular in the sense that they understand what they want the security operators to settle. in the sense that they know what they see as an intern for print they can visualize a gun that is their undesigned, which is in my view it very clear indication that they understand what they want to get out of their own and security institutions. they understand how they want to police its insecure it and they have a clear understanding about where the edges of the footprint are. the point about pushing out the edges is clear in

the areas under afghan security lead now cover approximately 75% of the afghan population. afghan security forces will have primary responsibility for security throughout afghanistan was the transition process is completed next summer. forces will continue to provide support, including combat support if necessary until the end of 2014. afghan security forces have shown they are willing to fight, and the afghan people want to have their own forces keeping their communities secure. a key element of this transition, which general done furred -- dunford will be overseeing it is the shift from having similar units to a security force assistance mission. in that nation, officers form security forces assistant teams, which are embedded in small units as the advisers within afghan forces to build capability even as they continue to move into the lead for combat operations. he will be responsible if confirmed for implementing the president's decision for the drawback of forces on afghanistan during the next two years to post 2014 levels. a milestone was achieved with the drawdown of

and if they will work with the afghans to work with both the afghan national army and the afghan nationalpolice reflect the demographic mix of afghanistan, we think that's important, that the army has to be a reflection and not a reflection of one particular ethnic group that will set the conditions for challenges down the road. so i know there've been particular attention to that right now, and that certainly isn't very i would pay particular attention to as well. >> one of the major nations you will have as the new commander is to not only make the transition but also to supervise the retrograde of the huge mess of, equipment that are there. the principal route of entry was to pakistan it and i presume the exit would be to pakistan. you mentioned but can you comment further on where you see us in terms of being able to conduct success of those operations and get our material at? >> i can. absolutely the ground lines to communicate in through pakistan are the most efficient and most inexpensive way for us to get our equipment and. there are other ways to get home and we been doing overti

on the afghans involved? of the afghan police involved? civil society involves? give us a bit of an insight into what those investigations would look like. >> let me start. whenever there is an incident, there is an investigation. it is a jointly led investigation with afghans. it is taken extremely seriously to get to the truth of this. and, of course, on some occasions it's difficult to do that because of the nature of the incident. it is a jointly delivered and it is recorded as such. >> the joint investigation team is led by the rc south west with his part of the afghan taliban, provincial government, calling and members of the afghan security forces, that is required a district government as well. it goes on over a period of time. so there is an initial visit by that team. there's also other areas in order to collect other pieces of evidence. if necessary, they would then go back to the community if the investigation took that route spent and, of course, these things are not straightforward. there's always allegations and counter allegations. on many occasio

we trained trainers and other afghans.what we are trying to do is put in place, while we're there to the end of 2013, is for forces to generate themselves to give them the skills to sustain other people. in training we saw, that process was well underway. >> helped enormously by the fact that we, internationally, and we reflect this in the u.k. with the officer academy, we are deliberately feeding western trained officers back into their own system, and that should create this self-generation and regeneration of afghan expertise. in that positive sense, there is an effect that will happen. in terms of the reintegration, the first one, i'm not as sure about because i didn't know about. >> [inaudible] >> that same observation, the police training academy, sat down, last regard, the instruction there, but only given by moi administer of interior who are post it there. i think also, you see the academy's on the way, meantime, a lot of on the job training and the others done with a lot of advising by the teams to fill that expe

(applause). >> thank you, barry, now it's lieutenant commander serrano and captain napalitano >> good morning, everyone, i'm pleased to be here today to tell you about an exercise we conducted this past summer in hawaii as part of rim of pacific exercise which involved 22 participating nations and this offered us a venue to be able to conduct a humanitarian and disaster relief exercise with all the different partners that we had together and collaborating with this exercise, this offered a perfect opportunity for us to introduce the military capabilities and interaction in exchange with our civil military partners as well. the exercise was located on oh oahu we had used that island as a fictitious island of chianti where we wanted to do a humanitarian response but it also provided us an avenue for the state-wide partners, the civil hawaiian partners, to be able to exercise their exercise as well. this ex

we have transitioned an area that involves 75% of the afghan population. and that population is increasingly secure. as a result, we are on track for two key milestones. one is that the afghans will be in the lead throughout the country for security in mid- 2013. and afghans will ultimately take full responsibility for security by the end of 2014. after 2014, the united states has made clear through a strategic partnership agreement that we will maintain an enduring presence and a long- term commitment to afghans' security. and nato made a similar commitment to a post-2014 afghanistan at the chicago summit last may. all of this sends a very simple and a very powerful message to al qaeda, to the taliban and to the violent extremist groups who want to regain a safe haven in afghanistan. we are not going anywhere. our commitment to afghanistan is long-term, and you cannot wait us out. this is important. because al qaeda, the taliban and other associated forces under pressure in pakistan, continue to view the rugged terrain of northeastern afghanistan especial

marines urinating on the corpses of afghans as well as of course the notorious cases of koran burning sort of indicating the climate of social insensitivity that unfortunately exists on the ground here with u.s. troops when we see you making mention about the misdeeds of u.s. forces and ultimately the mistrust on the ground as well though in the past few months have had a number of headaches for the american side a particular you know in washington as well one of the other issues they're facing . well of course the controversial green on blue attacks are very much a big deal here we've seen the deaths of about fifty eight nato forces thirty five americans and at least forty two separate attacks and what this is the result of is a effectively the u.s. government is trying to very quickly build up help build up the afghan national security forces and as a result of the rush to sort of do this the people are necessarily vetted and what we've seen is instances of for example taliban plans ending up in the ranks of afghan soldiers who end up turning their guns against the american trainers

themselves afghan men and women we believe are going to stun them not to a cross. but. it's a position and that it comes to actually stop people in the obama administration talking about how much they care about the women of afghanistan it's not true they don't care about the women of afghanistan. culture is that so much different each musician has the power on the mark when the ceasefire is over gaza after eight days of destruction and then what did israel actually achieve what about the palestinians.

if we needed to build new ones, we certainly did, but we always made sure the afghans understood they had the ultimate responsibility of maintaining this once we leave. finally, girls in school. as i mentioned, literacy rate was 20 percent. that was country-wide. in southwest afghanistan that literacy rate was women was 8 percent. so you have to work very hard to get an 8 percent literacy rate for women, which means you actually have to stop and implement policies to make sure that women actually couldn't partake in any learning, any health systems, anything that would contribute to their growth. so girls in school, big focus area. we wanted to reverse the effects of the state of women and girls in afghanistan. so once the security foot hold was gained in southwest afghanistan by the marines in 2010 and 2011 and they continued to conduct operations as i'm speaking, we began to build capacity at every level to ensure the afghans are ultimately able to take the helm of their own destiny and they have the capacity to run this system. we instituted assessments for growth in schools, we cr

soldiers should be given immunity from prosecution under afghan law this report now from lucy cuff on off in kabul. the u.s. and afghanistan have kicked off talks on thursday tough talks about the security framework agreement that the two countries will maintain after most of the nato combat forces withdraw from the country at the end of twenty fourteen now these are expected to be rather controversial contentious talks they come amid a climate of suspicion and mistrust between the two countries one of the biggest issues on the table here we expect this to take about several months to complete and of course the afghan government has long complained about the conduct of u.s. forces operations on the ground here in afghanistan some of the issues that they are not happy with are for example the controversial u.s. special forces strikes night raids that end up killing many civilians also at the issue of sovereignty here is a top deal i mean the afghan government insists that american soldiers who are accused of committing crimes here in afghanistan are tried within this country under afgh

troops and what we've seen is instances of for example taliban plans ending up in the ranks of afghan soldiers who end up turning their guns against the american trainers. well as other afghans who may or may not be happy with the conduct of certain soldiers and end up turning their guns on the americans as a result of that and so what this really reflects perhaps a policy that hasn't necessarily played out very well. this is a. business they dimitri a little earlier reporting on those changes in the chinese leadership now they're facing some serious economic challenges that's right china's economic growth which has been robust in the past couple of years it's been slowing down and unless they want to see a hard landing so-called hard landing so they need to go ahead with a lot of reforms a lot of work needs to be done tell you all about that in a couple minutes. mission free credit taishan free transport charges free. range and free. free. to tide free. download free broadcast quality video for your media projects and free media oh god r.t. dot com you. may miss it's in. my daddy. do

if social changes will be the afghans themselves afghan men and women we believe are going to stand up to the cross. without the participation and it's a position that a construction but stop people in the obama administration talking about how much they care about the women of afghanistan it's not true they don't care about the women of afghanistan. we see. many. asking why we have been beaten who want to leave their abusive husband there is one story that was the worst story which is a girl who had been told off by her family and she was beaten by the older man who she was forced to marry and she tried to escape and they caught her and brought her back and because she had tried to escape she had to be punished her husband then cut off and cut off her nose. their reason is that it's a big example for other. not to be housed. i'll tell you a story of a young woman i met i find inspiring i'm not going to promise a happy outcome but at least it was an inspiring story she was a young woman who was forced into marriage in a very conservative part of the country in the south east she was fo
