president karzai is deadline came on tuesday as more than sixty nations and organizations gathered in the capital kabul for the country's biggest international event in decades however britain and pakistan have already said that some international forces remain on that date to train afghan police. also on reconstructing and developing the water. as well as fighting corruption. russia's foreign minister says that moscow will continue to help. we're committed to supporting you in efforts on stabilizing afghanistan we will continue to allow transit of international cargo and personnel to afghanistan through our territory we're working on additional measures to cook afghan forces together with our partners we're also helping restore the afghan economy this year russia wrote off the remainder of ghana stand it hundred ninety one million dollars we will continue to provide humanitarian assistance. a u.s.

drone attack killed at least sixteen suspected militants in northwest pakistan on saturday officials say approximately five missiles were fired at an insurgent compound near the border with afghanistan but the increased use of drones by u.s. forces in the region has also that to a surge in civilian deaths sparking international outrage parties going to chicken reports. the economy out of the blue two words for you predator drones i you will never see it coming a drone is ten times cheaper than a fighter jet it requires no pilot so there are no troop deaths to explain it's the perfect weapon for covered cia operations in countries like pakistan and afghanistan if things go wrong you can deny it all and things do go wrong studies by independent international experts suggest that for every militant killed as many

as fifteen civilians also die there's no way of getting exact numbers the cia keeps its drones program under wraps but the united nations and other international organizations question the legality of the extensive use of the weapon when you come through sort of undeclared war with organizations like al qaida and you go off to purchase a day we suspect. we say they are terrorists but who has proven that the person directly targeting terrorists but humanitarian concerns seem to be doing little to dampen surging international demand for drones also known as unmanned aerial vehicles or u.a.e. vs the military appetite is such that the market is expected to grow to a staggering fifty five billion dollars in ten years from now with the advances in technology they depersonalize warfare and so therefore you have people war willing to use them and you have people that don't understand the consequences because the

people who are flying the drones are not on the battlefield they're not in the play here in washington d.c. stop burning with cia drone operator don't wake up in the morning in the family goodbye come to the office and shoot at target thousands of miles away from here and go back home and no risk whatsoever specialists say the whole operation reminds the media ok the question many ask is if it is so easy and convenient world of our m.p. the way to move more in the future if war is cheap why not use the bit more pressure against the smaller countries and organizations to show it on a case you would try to sit around with a cable with and talk it over demonstrators outside cia headquarters at the start of the year protested against indiscriminate killings by unmanned weaponry they say that rather than winning wars drones merely make more enemies by killing mostly innocent people are fueling rather than quelling insurgency ganesh again r t

washington d.c. . the u.k. government has attracted criticism off the police forcibly removed a peace camp from outside the british parliament in london on tuesday but justice who had gathered to call for an end to the war in afghanistan say the government has violated their right to free speech. reports. democracy but only on our terms that seems to be the message coming from the powers that be in the u.k. capital as a peace camp is finally removed from the government's doorstep as dozens of bailiffs and police sweeps to clear out the campaign as london's mayor said the demonstrators were making a mess and stopping the public from enjoying parliament square but the protesters insist their crucial message is being muted by. the aggressive foreign policy its government has been pursuing. going back through many years.

to see. states. they've been resident in this focal spot in westminster since just before may's general election mainly calling for an end to the war in afghanistan but adopting other peace causes along the way i'm here mostly because i messed. up about the rules of war which covers all rules and it showed me how. within and exposed to me how unlawful the government is and and then that trickles into almost every other aspect of life and into how we educate our children how much we are conditioned. opaque believes that while parliament sitting people should be allowed to make their protest heard within earshot of their m.p.'s cricketer's all about so free speech over time we fight wars over free speech and then we start a battle in parliament square against people who are expressing free speech but to

me is a total contradiction it's antidemocratic so now calm is restored to parliament square and the protesters dispersed but they're determined people and vow to gather again elsewhere it took sixteen days left some four hours to clear out the tents and the people and erect this fence and along with the process just went the right to free speech. they say the government sending a message to democracy keep off the crofts no rabbits. are they to this cruel lessons being taught in india screws punishments is illegal it seems to. sue saudi's parents to demand that. and are ready to set sail russian ports month maybe day here from the most significant celebrations in neighboring ukraine.

you might have thought that suggesting a mosque be built at ground zero in new york would have swelled most of them sentiments but as online talk show host laura hoff missed found out there's plenty of tolerance in the city where america's worst. the city of new york is considering a proposal for the construction of an islamic center and mosque at ground zero do you think this is an appropriate site for a mosque this week let's talk about that i think it's a good idea to build a mosque there go by the idea sort of well for the why why they could say. why there's a big problem when people equate islam with nine eleven going after the oklahoma city bombing happened we don't equate you know christianity with that i think it's showing the qur'an teaches peace and nonviolence. if the mosque

holds the traditions of the qur'an i don't have any problem with it i have a problem with anybody blowing up buildings i'm all for it so why do you think some people get so emotional and say it's the wrong thing to do because i think this is frustrated with their ignorance so they need somebody to blame something to blame so. that's like one way to go about it people who are afraid of the unknown they don't understand. so maybe building a mosque would help people understand and the idea is that the way i understand it is actually not just a mosque it's a center for interactivity it's a center for people to meet i believe it's been supported by some rabbis actually i think it's all politics and i think they use in the media to make it an excuse to do what they want to do for the best interests of the politicians it doesn't matter of the emotions that they're pulling out of people it's all about politics whether

or not you support a mosque being built where the twin towers once stood let's just hope that everyone remembers it was cultural intolerance that caused ground zero in the first place. an entrepreneur in southern russia whose publicist spot. rights activists could escape punishment police say the man who strapped his donkey to a parachute and washed it into the sky has caused no part of the harm to the animal to make the points. he made us feel maybe even to the fact that because we never see thank you. and you probably never would if it wasn't for a seaside p.r. stunt. sitting on the beach boys your parachute go i couldn't quite figure it out myself or legs nor of my own
