terrorism and drug trafficking are what's on the table today in russia's city of sochi president was hosting a summit there with the leaders of afghanistan to stand in pakistan are reports from the city. president dmitri medvedev is bringing together the leaders of ghana stand pakistan and their neighbor did you can stand in sochi this is a second formation of a climb to the first one wasn't lost here and back then the leaders focused on cross border projects economical projects as well as on security issues russia's reluctant to get involved in military action in afghanistan but it still seeks a role in settling the conflict with russia central asia is a traditional sphere of interests and it has always been sensitive to instability the afghan conflict is causing in the region drug trafficking and islamic radicalism stemming from again a stand or the main security threats recently there's been an increase in recorded strayed the trade which is also the main source of financing or militancy in the region and russia which is now the world's largest heroin consumer is seeking to break

what the leaders of afghanistan to jake and pakistan together with russia agreed upon at a summit in sochi but mideast expert james denselow thinks there is a chance that afghanistan could become a source of cooperation between russia and the u.s. . i think russia is strengthening strengthening its presence in the world in the last few years and i think it's interesting that afghanistan a country which for ten years in the one nine hundred eighty s. was a source of conflict between the two is now a source of potential cooperation between ties with a remarkable group between moscow and washington they both have exactly the same issues that whether it's drug trafficking all islamic radicalism so i think it's very much a case of russia leading its own initiative to improve security in its own at least a neighborhood that the u.s. can take enough to support i find it almost incredible to think that the americans say that countering the narcotics in afghanistan isn't part of its mission if we look at the the size of the amount of money that drugs bring in in this country over a billion dollars

and drug trafficking in central asia was the focus of a summit this weekend russia's resort city of sochi president medvedev and leaders of afghanistan pakistan and tajikistan discussed how to stabilize the troubled region. reports what you're looking for it's just i would wish for the locusts and they weren't just talking whether terrorism pull the t. and one other burning told took a front seat as russia hosted its three central asian neighbors in sochi. on the drug through it because it's a common problem we should face together not individually. the problem. it was a new queen siddons president medvedev singled out these two countries and ghana stan is the world's largest opium producer russia the world's largest consumer what costs one country thirty thousand human lives a year is a profitable business for the other organ makes fifty two percent of the of going to g.d.p. now and in the harry market i think of going to. record as not a far larger two percent of the market so we whole economy is based on drugs there is even a term that afghanistan is a drug based economy afghan heroin

day this is our team the presidents of afghanistan pakistan and stand there in the russian resort of sochi for a top level meeting to discuss fighting narco terrorism in central asia afghanistan as a source for ninety percent of the world's heroin supply present dmitri medvedev has been leading talks on how to stabilize the troubled region he also held separate bilateral meetings with the three guest heads of state parties in the country and this report. providing security and fighting drug trafficking these were the two topics which took a front seat during today's summit in sochi where the route to this is not going to be easy russia afghanistan pakistan and the cheekiest on a well aware of the challenges they will meet someone the world wants whether success is even possible and if so whether all countries of the international community are committed to achieve it by bringing the four nations together russia shows its commitment to support a peaceful stable and prosperous afghanistan and stability in the whole region probably drug threat is a common problem in the region i've already ha

it and the beach one incredible new stadium incredible new locations in time from some petersburg to sochi and kaliningrad and of course moscow you know there's a tremendous. spec to it on top of the games and again it's the first time that it will have been held in eastern europe and there's also a huge base of football fans in eastern europe who's never had the opportunity to show how much they love the game at home. to see the game until the government is ready to came russia's beat includes designs for over a dozen new state of the old stadium with up to ten billion dollars worth of team brand new stadiums under construction currently it's only moskos luzhniki which fully matches people standards and has had experience of all staying major international events but in fact the very need to build new infrastructure could be russia's major selling point the other contenders already have infrastructure in place but fever is interested in expanding. it across the continent and beyond blossman still has successfully coped with just tickle challenges of several big tournaments in the past the

drugs that's what leaders of afghanistan to pakistan together with russia agreed upon at a summit in sochi told me even from king's college london thinks it's significant that the central asian countries discuss the stability without the region's main player the us. but perhaps the most interesting aspect of it is the development of a regional diplomacy which does not depend on the united states i think it's time that we began to look forward to a day when the united states will not in fact be present on the ground in afghanistan and countries in the region will have to make their own arrangements to deal with whatever comes after the american presence three other countries are absolutely essential namely china india of course and iran and the problem is that the deep distrust between pakistan and india and to a lesser extent between india and china makes regional a great arrangements over afghanistan extremely difficult in the past and to a degree even today these countries have often played proxy wars against each other including in afghanistan over the past thirty years or so there has

sochi olympics is likely to come under scrutiny by people team and the defense results appearing to be impressive success could mean and not leaning go to russia in its world cup it exceeded their children r t skit. in the iraqi capital baghdad at least sixty people were killed and over one hundred wounded by a suicide bomber iraqi authorities say al qaeda was behind the attack the blast happened close to where a thousand people are gathered near an army recruitment center the attack is one of the bloodiest this year becomes just two weeks before the u.s. starts withdrawal from iraq leaving behind fifty thousand troops to train local forces iraq has been trying to build up its own security forces before the american people for more or less are now joined by carole turner from the stop the war coalition in london thanks very much indeed for joining us here on artie's this attack in baghdad iraq iraq a so actually this is a grim vision of what's going to happen when the u.s. military pulls out isn't it. it certainly is i think it the fact that they chose an army recruiting center shows h

out of summit of central asian countries president to meet him in the meeting in the russian city of sochi the leaders of afghanistan to take a stand and pakistan well former white house drugs policy spokesman robert weiner thinks the u.s. has failed in afghanistan mainly because wiping out drugs is not part of their mission. the us military regrettably has determined that a policy should be had of not. interdicting and not eradicating the drugs in afghanistan because it would destabilize afghanistan what a mistake of a policy and it's a policy mistake both by the military by general petraeus by ambassador holbrooke because it's the drugs that that fund al qaeda which is the reason that the united states won into afghanistan in the first place drugs are seventy percent as much as seventy percent of al qaeda is in the taliban's funding according to senior democratic senator charles. and if that's the case what are we doing making happy farmers in afghanistan or is our job to secure afghanistan stop the drug trafficking create alternative economies and then stop the killing that goes around

even though sochi is a nice place we're spending summer vacations as you can see there is a small here like in the russian capital and luckily there are no forest fires but it seems that for president medvedev it's more of a work trip apart from reading books from i pads planning fishing trips and doing yoga exercises he's keeping himself busy as usual he's holding a series of meetings here visiting olympic venues and he's made several important political announcements to many of the debate of his words came as a surprise when he's shared with journalists his thoughts on the upcoming presidential election in two thousand and twelve although he said he wouldn't do like to see a clash between powerful figures with similar aims he said he doesn't know who will run here's the quote it may be may divert if it may be putin it may be somebody else and commenting on his relations with putin made it have said that on one hand nothing's changed between them but on the other hand there are serious changes he added to the presidency transformed him and now these relations evolved into the relation
