we were winning when will . i bought martina lead was reported in us drone program the study takes a look at civilian casualties and examines why the us isn't reporting accurate number. a full breakdown of that report just ahead. and the us military had been nine clemency for chelsea man in the army whistleblower is legal team plans to push for an appeal. one of the details on manning's new legal counsel coming out. and if the players for the nine eleven terror suspects call out the fbi. the defense claims that it's the number was interrogated by the fbi in a tent to make him a

secret informant. more on that later shelved. a fan one eighteen fourteen. i am in washington dc during a pit in your watching our team the us and gather precise numbers of civilians killed in a drone strikes and subject them to congressional oversight that's all according to barry who is the principal research scientist at the center for naval analysis or if he and a e a federally funded military research organization. in a special report published this month was found that better training and intelligence analysis would be needed in order to minimize the number of non combatants who was when i say that civilian death syndrome strikes work the other productive to us national security. healing threats to the us while simultaneously damaging american relationship with

national partners. to conclude this was tuesday then made available by the bureau of investigative journalism and the new america foundation and by doing so he was able to identify the possible reasons for the disparity between the rare us estimates of civilian casualties and independent sources. he pointed to the fact that drone operators were sometimes i'm able to understand the damage because operators are relegated to air surveillance to make that assessment. additionally lewis said us forces are often the stock civilians were enemy combatants. often times simply be based on proximity to a non party it was his call for more transparency comes just after the announcement of a new bipartisan bill which would force president obama to reveal the number of casualties caused by john strikes to congress to discuss this and all the very latest on the drum front i was going to earlier by sarah flounder is from the international action center a free pass for what

impact she thinks this report will have on the debate over the drum warfare program well really. there's no way to clean up the act on drone attacks are to begin to count casualties. these are carried out and run attacks are carried out the whole variety of different agencies. and if the arms of the military and secret compartments of the mountain. it's completely criminal violation of international law of the un charter of the us constitution on every level so the idea that there's a way of counting civilian casualties. on a completely secret program where no one is accepting responsibility i think that's just an effort to put on a clean face on what is really criminal activity. i mentioned this all comes just as two lawmakers proposed a new bill to de mystified that program

and get more transparency proposed bill has the backing of more than a dozen human rights organizations and likely many americans that were also growing weary of the drone program the independent legislative data analysis from contract given the bill one percent of passing. i am making a seat in other words it doesn't believe that the bill will pass. what mean would you agree with that knowledge is a history of the biggest challenge has seen a bill like that get passed. well i don't think there's any way such as though the pants but the very nature of the drone program and one u s military says it's when she's using along with drone attacks and mercenaries and sanctions on hole number of different ways of making war on the entire world. and whether it is the hundreds of german tax which had been fired into pakistan pakistan somalia

sudan the philippines. other countries from one end to the other and into target center smell acknowledge pm so i at least a piece of legislation well but the chance of that moving forward. i see the us pentagon is today acting as a law unto itself and are competing arms of the pentagon and the different secret agencies and everyone of them the drone program that is part of the sheer irrationality the insanity of this form of warfare are targeting and and no counting no and no accountability for what he's saying really criminal activity. there's no way that someone on a rotation halfway around the world looking at a tv screen knows that this is a farmer planting crops or a so called planting of the issues that i am possibility or a group of cars on writing for a family

celebration is on the other hand the suspected gathering that are just no way of monitoring means of knowing it and again and again is civilians who of course no one is going on. in january of last year the un itself launched a major investigation into civilian ground that's united nations special repertoire on counterterrorism ben anderson actually said he would need a group of international special is cooling down and see ita and pentagon coburg from attacks. you think it is an indication that we're starting to see our bill the pain and pressure from the international community and could not be enough to elicit a change here and you ask. for international agencies have a responsibility to study get to do so because this program has been in place for years and have been many reports and many independent efforts actually from pakistan to bring forth the impact of

the drone attacks in pakistan just to give one example. on his rage around the world and it needs to grow as they say against a program that is total lawlessness that is thousands of drums were not talking about an exception here and there. i'm against countries that have literally no defense no prior warning no knowledge of the head granted no of course permission for these lawless acts. while the pope sees me and sorry i wanna moving to another news story that's set to be weak and a new documentary and it's that this and a packet and drone strikes are actually carried out by regular us air force personnel the film claims that this is all operating from a secure air force base just outside of las vegas now if it is indeed true what they mean about the level of collaboration and cooperation between the kenny and the military on this program. well sometimes

his cooperation and sometimes fierce competition by all these different agencies carrying out from attacks yes on three hits and also upstate new york from syracuse. the air force the army has a program the c i has a program and other intelligence agencies the program so on. there has actually been in demand transparency the sheer number of programs should be now just as the first step the sheer number of jones and fired. i also carry a constant surveillance which means buying on countries around the world and constantly targeting whether these hellfire missiles are fired or not. this is a threat to every country in the world and its racing and wants to arrange on a world scale. sharon and wanted to share thoughts on one more thing we're just learning add that the navy is on unmanned aircraft the act for

seven b has officially conducted its first night lightning did that last week the next incremental step in developing the operations concepts for more routine why do you think americans are having a discussion about the future for drone news here in the us. i think this is absolutely not an issue and it must be because his brow read very little information on any of the secret programs and just as we know in terms of an act of spying every phone call everything on the internet is also monitored today so the idea of domestic surveillance and surveillance around the world. the more they can be brought to light on this is important and more attention is paid in the last of the level of this constant constant own. really domestic spying and international signing and international

acts and wore their new concrete deal more attention only this time being. well this is that discussion that will go on for much longer and shorter syrup founders of the international action center king deal. the us military announced today that former army private chelsea manning will not received clemency. israelis have confirmed that an unofficial who could have agreed to reduce or eliminate thirty five year sentence imposed last year on the former intelligence analyst declined to do stuff. in august the twenty six year old was convicted of violating the espionage act and other offences after the team thousands of classified government documents to a few weeks. the case will next automatically be sent to the army court of criminal appeals heading not that appeals process will be manning's new legal counsel attorneys nancy calender and vincent ward will represent manning in the us army court of appeals federal court and possibly even the supreme

court as she moves forward and her legal battle last night those attorneys participated and camel discussion at georgetown university where they talked about what that battle will look like rt hon c france has more. now that's aussie manning's new lawyers to go ahead for the appeals process can begin coming to our effort one that needs to focus on the georgetown law center last night that she was on hand to explain some of the angles that are considered. as a former military lawyer vincent ward knows the military justice system inside out. what strikes you write that is unlawful pretrial punishment i e that it starts with the amount of trying. then chelsea stints in jail awaiting a charge sheet. she spent nine days baking months and months and months waiting for a charge sheet. while the military. i've tried to figure out what to charge her with joy. talk about

government whistle blowing on a broader scale was former nsa official thomas drake who stood trial for one who was on illegal wiretapping on the news. he pointed out a pivotal part of it out. he added that many of the poll the constitution and the uniform code of military justice is your right to does it require you to follow any order. only lawful orders. can you actually have an obligation if you believe that the order is unlawful to question to question the order for one shocking discoveries are made with no other viable option a military member blows the whistle then find themselves on the wrong side of their commanders. then someone says military members must have a reliable justice system and we're so there are a whole host of issues that go. not only to the core of sorted the bigger picture of the keys. the weather service members in general have

the opportunity for a fair trial in a expect when they put on the uniform and their accused of doing something wrong that this system will protect them. oversight and holland are also part of the team called the flight going to miss use of the espionage act over classification of information the selective prosecution of whistleblowers. a bold attempts by the government to prevent its own embarrassment. three points that will be argued in this appeal. also mentioned that she and that's what we'll be getting snow the area around fort leavenworth very well because as this process is set to take years. they are willing to take it all the latest in the morning which means spending a lot of time without my job and is preparing to study for a pre law degree behind bars artist. players on a case regarding this september eleven attacks are now accusing be as high as the map. the defense team say that fbi agents interrogated

though work work defense team member and now they have granted an urgent hearing on the matter. the judge's decision to hear the case means that the pre trial regarding one of the five accused nine eleven conspirators will be put on hold. the judge is now expected to open an inquiry into the possible conflict of interest and the military prosecution of accused nine eleven mastermind having shaikh mohammad along with four others. according to the miami herald the motion filed late last night said the fbi turned a security officer on the legal team of yemeni captain runs he'd been on scene into a confidential informants. the motion states the implications of this intrusion into the defence kampar staffer in the most immediate implication however is that all defense teams have a potential conflict of interest between their loyalty to their clients and their interests and demonstrating their innocence fbi investigators to help us break down this case i was

going to a nearby art he's honest the future cannot take a look. well here it is not easy and very high profile case involving the five suspects behind me i've seen huge terror attacks of nine eleven is a total of five suspects including holly mohamed who is seen as the alleged mastermind behind these attacks and was finally the fact that our defense team their own defense team no one system or is that to every defense team than that i defend security officer signed. they have bought top secret clearance and that the role of these people is to guide the team. what information to black out and what information to unclassified in need and it came at the problem here is that now we're hearing from the defense team from the leader saying that there's been at least one instance where two fbi agents according to the defence team had at least in one of the defence security officers at a secret informant that they had questioned the person and mean them find

a non disclosure agreements and certainly this is really not huge on questions about the trust in the cape and certainly the defense team is outraged. the facts are the defense team alleging this has had on the court case and could there be any fallout the thing for for the fbi. like if the defendant and first hearing in this case with the idea was put on a wreath out by the judge at the information came out and of course the likelihood of any theory of course there's now tuition is trust issued an amended defence teams because of course that whoever that the secret informant what they were asked about on the work of the old the fide defence teams and we've heard from the way of saying that they want the judge to conduct the start of the investigation into the action of the fbi. we do know that the fbi now has fifteen games to love that shot through this story but certainly we haven't seen too many times when the fbi would investigate themselves into something that would not be in there. the mercer certainly this is something

that's a question. another suggestion we've heard from the defense lawyers is to provide additional legal counsel to the south back obviously somebody who could be more trusted and that ought not to think that the activity of the things but the questions are raised in transit. ahh it was doable considering how much i live many many branches of government revenue in play com i'd been found in this case already. now the miri serious claims are of course come a time when more light to be shut on interrogation techniques conducted by msci day involving a still secret senate intelligence committee report what we know about that. if you are documenting the rate of sixty three hundred page top us senate intelligence committee report of which with the image of the result of a four year investigation that cost forty million dollars. the legal basis of bach certain interrogation techniques conducted by the cit and all the details behind what really went down before sending her to permit the aid they said this was a program that was very targeted and

involved only about five thirty bc needs but according to information that we have on this report that is not the case and this huge document is going to basically bringing to light the truth about the interrogation techniques conducted by the cic and certainly this is something that the theory doesn't want to be made as we've heard and out but we do know that it's likely that some parts of this report already information on it leaking out the back normal common that there's been many conclusions made in china the bot very unfavorable actions that the days have been up to not a fast and this is all of course connected to another story on unraveling right now about camp seven. the secret camp at guantanamo bay and you've actually been to the military base. what do you know about and seven. one of them end up with the answer is simple there's not much that we do now that that's certainly how to camp at guantanamo that journalists are not seeking to its never discussed internally three no of course that usually officials that kind of pretend that they don't know what exists but

there's no photoshop online are already and only three leaders throughout the existence of guantanamo have been able to accept the camp we do know that the fifteen detainees are held there and many many questions exist about the camp the kind that people are wondering why their feet with the advance their stifling many controversial issues around to guantanamo but the fact that the cap is that held so much under wraps in the making people question what else is going on to the that the government does not the to know. all right. he's on some future in africa or new york studio thing deal and now see ukraine late this afternoon russian president vladimir putin's spoke with president obama by phone. the gremlins that police urge obama to use his influence on the neck rein in government to prevent bloodshed in the country this past week the key of government announced it was sending in troops to try and quell the increasing pro russian opposition parties'
