her turn, a private initiative is pushing to make it happen. mm. me personally, it's just a dream. i've always had. i've always wanted to see the earth from love. destined for space. storage more changed on d. w. in july 2022 alti delita. i man, also offrey was killed by a us drone strike in cobble afghanistan. mm. no matter how long it takes, no matter where you. hi. if you are a threat to our people, united states will find you. take you out. the us uses drones to kill alleged terrorists around the world with or without a declaration of war executions. without trial

august the 29th 2021 original footage filmed from a jo as combat drone suckling over cobble scanning for terrorists. nato forces on heightened delight. days earlier and i as terrorist attack, killed over 170 people with cobble add port among them with 13 us soldiers. many of the victims were trying to leave the country after the taliban takeover. but in other parts of the city, life was continuing as normal, who rode the axiom is in the door, it was a sunday. and as it up we were outside wall street updating the kids were playing, they were happy with. there was going to be a wedding that was just done,

the shopping that he got to see that color. then around 9 a. m, the u. s. military receives intelligence suggesting another imminent threat to the airport involving a white sudan, similar to the car, driven by them. all right. ok. marty surveillance cameras film him arriving at his job at 930. 5. mardi is an employee of a us aide organization that distributes food in afghanistan, hours later, surveillance camera footage shows our commodity filling water into canisters and loading them into his truck. they disclose them with that as he always brought clean water home in canisters. because he can't drink the tap water here of asia, that's what the canisters before,

where they are now with the media. mahathy. the father parted these canisters that make him suspicious to the u. s. military. around 4 p. m. our commodity leaves the 8 agencies office. he has no idea that he's being tracked by a u. s. drone, as he makes his way home. ah, ah, just before 5 p. m. amante's car turns into his street. by now u. s. military analysts have concluded that the car contains explosives and another attack is imminent. commodity begins backing the car into the driveway. his cho and his brother's children are waiting for him. goggles that i am with

direct no other than me. the children were always excited. when's mary came home? was that made of them? they liked him very much. hon. mamma, they called him grandpa collision on may. that video. grandpa is coming and she's done with that. they would all go outside. normally the kids thought the car was cool and they'd always get in it. that's what they did that day to, donna hall, norma. they made the flag uncle collision the whole amount that should do us. our floor will hard to la eigen an unguarded. mendez garnished and hopped at an dawn and get over drones strike against an isis k vehicle, an outdoor does those oxy? mitch branched off ballade and on to a big sparked some flew cove. it was i hadn't, i hadn't an unguarded mind by turn an am slap in cobbler through caffeine for in that. but adam dawn and, and get off of i move mosley concepcion, adam tita the procedures were correctly followed. hello to registration. in cobble

the taliban has given us permission to film the rules of them vig were on our way to the home where the attack took place in august 2021 to meet a family member who witnessed what happened to him. over miller, andrew miller's, one of the little mans ranch is the brother in law of the n g o worker who was killed. this courtyard is where the missile hit a 2nd car park nearby protected other family members from the blast. the victims included 7 children. the water canisters suspected to be explosives are still here . oh them them down. there was a sudden we were standing outside on a bit further down the street. all nights when suddenly there was a terrible sound got on by the sound of a rocket. allow then an explosion of and they did, we ran into the court yard law. the gate was completely destroyed, the silos,

how little children had been blown to pieces that we picked them up. there was blood and body parts everywhere with us as well as the 7 children, 3 adults were killed. the shot at the bye, put the 10 bodies in the coffins with my own hands. the children were totally todd, as well as it was only after we buried them and come home. the thought that it really sank in what had happened to be a 3 weeks later after the new york times investigated the attack and published its findings. the u. s. military admitted it had made a mistake and killed innocent people appreciate the opportunity to take responsibility for this. we now assume that it is unlikely that the vehicle and

those who died were associated with isis or were a direct rep. ready i offer my profound condolences to the family and friends of those who were killed. afghanistan has long been the main target of us drones. and germany plays a key role in the us drone wall. ramstein in our island palatinate, the largest u. s. military base outside the united states and central to you as drone operations wild wind. ramstein is home to a control center where live images from drones around the world analyzed and cross referenced with intelligence. in other words, this is where much of the groundwork for targeted killings is done. blue really come out and the us can kill people whenever and wherever it

decides to without due process. bad vibes mention. and that is at the very least controversial in terms of germany's interpretation of international law. the from those 2 for years, gemini, accepted us assurances that the activities in ramstein do not violate its laws. you was the u. s. has reiterated that had respects german law in its use of the ramstein bay such otta. but what does the us actually mean by respect german law, 2, in the wake of 911, the u. s. declared a war on terror and passed a law approving use of all necessary and appropriate force against suspected terrorists in other words drowns their advantages supposedly include precision strikes and reduced collateral damage

or with weapons like the predator, your arsenal, or troops can conduct the surgeon stripes on terse and hard to reach areas, osbourne innocent life with our extraordinary technology were conducting the most precise air campaign in history. let my direction united states military successfully executed a flawless precision strike. so only terrorists held and there's no risk to us soldiers. drones trying to controlled from here in nevada, not far from las vegas. we would have liked to shoot inside the base and talk to the u. s. military. we spent months trying to get an interview getting nowhere but which still like to take a look at the creech air force base to this is

where the drone pilots walk thousands of miles away from their target. ah, so what are the people who live close by now about the banks? don't people like the topic? no, no. amazingly, nobody talks about anything that goes on over there is why no, no, no. mm. we try talking to people in a local bar. when not filmy, that after 10 minutes a former soldier threatens us with violence. if we don't leave millions in its promotional videos, the military makes drone warfare looked like a video game controlled by a joystick. do strike them t o. we want to see what drone warfare means in the places where the missiles

strike wild act province. afghanistan, us drone strikes were commonplace here for over 20 years. 2 the population lived in constant fear, never knowing when and where missiles might strike. a chord to the un over 2000 civilians died in afghanistan from asked strikes, including drones. in the last 5 years, at the war alone, 40 percent of civilian casualties were children lead. did a drone ever hit when you were playing cricket with yes. and from where? oh, from their mother 1st there was a buzzing sound, but then the missile dropped asthma. go and then it exploded on the ground and boom, look, i love does any of the ground? oh

no, no my good to me. and if, when they came, we would hide, so we wouldn't get bombed, was again the dog. well, they circled overhead and then they struck, i thought of the taliban or not everybody got hit and it was a and then they flew off again. another was never proponents of drone strikes, argue that collateral damage is a price that has to be paid in the war on terror. last year, the u. s. succeeded in killing al qaeda leader. i man, i'll so ari with a drone. according to the pentagon, dozens of taliban and al qaeda militants have been taken out by drone strikes. but the fact remains that after 20 years of the us war, the taliban art once again in power. this former us base is now a taliban police headquarters. the police chief is a former militant,

he claims that drone strikes drive people to extremism listed upwards. tucker is the mac. i believe that we're learning more and more innocent. people were dying and many people were losing their families so much. and that's when we saw the number of militants increasing, thus whether to the di, mchaggard ashlock that was in, it's a fairy, even the c i. h came to the conclusion in an internal study conducted several years ago. that drones might have military advantages. but could also give rise to new enemies of the u. s. u. s. drones targeted the taliban, but in every village here, people tell us about strikes that claimed the lives of innocent people. the u. s. military does not release data on civilian casualties in afghanistan. but late to pentagon papers showed that in 15 month period in 201390 percent of people killed

in us drone killings, but not the intended targets. the u. s. military also uses a fraud methodology that counts or military aged males in a strike zone. as combatants, in other words, boys over 15. these 3 boys were killed by a jo, asked drone one man tells us he is their older brother as a family that has it. according to the americans, they were always precision strikes. if they bombed a wedding party, they said they were hitting taliban. if we said that wasn't true, it didn't do any good while we ordinary people couldn't do anything. nobody believed us. were seneca most trying strikes and not investigated? the claim that they are precision killings can't be back. top research suggests the claim is inaccurate. the idea that a remote control war is a clean war,

applies only to one side. and then for the time a flight we meet brandon bryant outside the base in nevada. he used to work for the drone program as a sensor operator of a man, drones. his job was to mark the drones target with a laser. ah, bryan says he was involved in more than 1600 pills. one day in particular stands out in his memory. a drone strike near kandahar. i remember afterwards being like, was that a kid like after miss went back and the pirates like yeah, she shut up and i was like, hey, mission cordon mc. and you asked the screener what that was and her missing

coordinator asked the screener in the screen like okay, reviewing feed i we determined that i was a dog and i was like there's no way i think there's no way there's no way i dont can open a door, right? no. i went to my supervisor and he tried to punish me. don't me to shut them up to my job. no one's in listen to me. just right off as a darn the u. s. air force fails to respond to our inquiries. but there is evidence to show that the u. s. military regularly covers up the civilian death toll of drones strikes. december 2021. the new york times reported on hidden pentagon records that revealed that the military has been responsible for thousands of civilian dance, with scant accountability. ah wish. brandon bryan left the army more than a decade ago. he testified in the buddhist,

talked to german parliament and received an award in germany for civil courage. he also spoke about the role played by the ramstein air base in the us drone wall. every day, every time that we launched an aircraft or handed it back, we would call ramstein air force base up to check the signal multiple time. wouldn't even be wanted every mission, every single mission the ramstein ebay says a key control center for the drug war. does this make germany complicit in civilian deaths? yet i am 3 people from yemen thought so they filed a lawsuit against the german government because a u. s. drones strike, kill de relatives all civilians. the higher administrative court in munster rule that the german government must take action to ensure the u. s. respects

international law in using the ramstein air base and monitor us drone activities closely or the next. but the next authority, the federal administrative court ruled that the german government only needed to ask the u ass whether it's complying with international law at ramstein. the court argued, among other things that no actual decisions are made in germany. the base merely provides technical assistance. but is it true that no decisions are made there? the united states africa command african is located in stuttgart. in an interview with german radio, an african spokesperson openly stated, the decisions on drones strikes in africa are made in the stuttgart headquarters. so this is thank you for particular strikes. it is from the african command commanders per view, or what are the strikes that african is conducting from germany in

somalia with the consent of the government. the u. s. is fighting the militant group, our show bob, the offshoot of al qaeda controls, parts of the country, and repeatedly carries out terrorist attacks. this rundown district in mogadishu is now the home of kadijah ghetto, and her granddaughter fatima. they fled here from the east of the country. on the evening of february, the 2nd 2020, they were at home with their family to see her cousin that day we had been to school at school. later on in the evening we were having dinner. when the missile head we did, all i knew was that my sister had been killed. oh, well i shouldn't mean it destroyed my alley and also my name. it shouted. my love for love to flood one of the girls was blown to pieces

with me. she was killed by us, drown kadijah mohammed get our lost her eyesight. and her granddaughter fatima was hospitalized with severe injuries. after the attack african in stuttgart reported that an al bob terrorist had been killed were sheesh. the victim was not a terrorist, but a teenager, nato cu, so oma abaca. her uncle works as a journalist. when he 1st heard the report that the u. s. had killed a terrorist, angelica he had no idea his own family had been targeted in the strike. while i let him know that he bought the we had from african

i was totally busily around the student who was that 4 of my relatives who were targeted if it weren't for his campaign for the truth, the real victim would never have been named almost half a year later, under pressure from human rights organizations, the u. s. military admitted it had killed a civilian african is unwilling to talk to us. but in 2021 vice world news interviewed major general dec vin anderson, the commander of special operations, command africa, at the time. any time there is a civilian casualties due to conflict, it's heartbreaking. and it's very frustrating is frustrating as a commander and as a father, when we do these strikes is a very deliberate intelligence process to confirm the target. and what i can say to that is we can't clean, perfect, but we,

we do hold ourselves accountable. and we do that very deliberately. although the u . s. military acknowledge the mistake kadijah and fatima have received no apology and no compensation to date. the us admits that 5 civilians have been killed and drawn strikes in somalia in the past 15 years. according to local media, hundreds have in the past, the green party sharply criticized germany's involvement in the us drone war. is the fight bush done then? what kind of a friendship is it if this cooperation is not grounded in international law? this guy went to spoke of it got funded in 2019 the green party put forward a motion to the german parliament. no use at ramstein abbeys for killings in violation of international law. member of parliament. katya coil was the signatory idioms. and i'm thinking that the u. s. has violated international law with

targeted killings and pakistan, game and, and somalia. even if the german government must no longer be content with ignorance, yet it has a duty to know life and what it does not know, it must investigate. this silence regarding our ally is not helping us or world peace or our american friends. we need to speak openly. turning a blind eye is only making things worse. now, the greens are in government and county coil is minister of states at the federal foreign office. foreign minister on alina bab hawk declined on a request for an interview with a 2 month window for shilling raisins, katya coil, when talk to was either about an issue she previously felt strongly about. her colleague tobias lintner has also refused. i request for an interview. alina babble

repeatedly, emphasizes that international law and human rights are at the heart of her foreign policy. i don't distinguish between week as in china, i don't distinguish between ukrainians or persecuted russian journalists than human rights defenders. between is the diesel occurred. that is the strength of human rights in the visibility, no matter where you live in the world. so what is the green parties position now on germany's role in the us drone wall? because we're trying to find out from green politicians what the current position is on the drone war. and ramstein adorned ramstein, his nakedness. not my area right now. the party leaders won't give us an interview or to do you mr. clinton wants the current position of the green party on the us drone war and ramstein,

the green, some west one clickable homestead. mine or tag thing was a ruling from the higher administrative court and minister, which i personally welcomed harbor. unfortunately, the federal administrative court room, differently it ruled that the government doesn't have to do more than asked questions for, as it was given and legal with this movie asked the government, you know, and i'll talk, keep asking. thanks mister dean. we sent the government a list of questions. the foreign ministry says that constant dialogue with the u. s, but the government has no information about exactly which you astro admissions are conducted by ramstein. the u. s. has repeatedly provided assurances that it abides by german law. is what government has always sent. so have the greens abandon the previous dance, is the party no longer calling for investigations of civilian deaths. a meeting

about afghanistan is taking place at the foreign ministry. miss bam, up he once submitted a motion? no killing by ramstein in violation of international laws. press after legible good . but afterwards, we're still not allowed to talk to his bank. the foreign office referred us to a new member of parliament. mulash bella back. the settlements. i'm living in 2019 the green submitted emotion, no use of ramstein abbeys for killing and violation of international law was the position to day anderson as we continued to support this demand both as a party and as a parliamentary group and continued to condemn killings in violation of international law, b, it's my arm to drown. so any other weapon? and i also assume that the government will continue to advocate this in bilateral talks. i'm speaking the find that's on calling since we've had

a green foreign minister, have questions been asked at the us and before we calling before, if i was the question is not whether we ask questions, but how we deal with the consequences. and that's not my job to assess question my job to. so what i was cornwall could the consequences b just that will be a long list beyond the scope of the conversation. now i'll just explain it to them because it would affect the diplomatic relations with the us that we can assume. so ah, the greens jettisoning that principles because they failed powerless towards the u . s. or simply to avoid upsetting an ally because clearly in light of the russian invasion of ukraine, germany is more aware that it has been for some time that the u. s. can provide military protection. but how credible is germany's commitment to human rights if it

applies different standards to different countries? the u. s. has been waging war on terra for more than 20 years, primarily with drones. even if president joe biden has scaled down the drone war, he still threatened strikes any time anywhere where it was cold over the horizon capabilities. which means we can strike chairs 2 targets without american boots on the ground. it's an ongoing war and one that most people are barely aware of. but germany, a country committed to upholding human rights, is involved ah,
