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 police agency question the legality of the extensive use of the weapon it becomes different when you come to a sort of undeclared war with organisations which i'm like ok i know that ali baba and you go after persians you say hey we suspect we say they are terrorists who have proven that the first direction targeting terrorists. they're not there not in uniform 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 plane they're thousands of miles away. and they cause to structured they don't feel it here in washington d.c. suburbs. the are a drone operator wake up in the morning family guy comes to the office and shoot the target thousands of miles away from here and all back home and no risk look forward to actually save the whole operation remind the reader the question many ask is if it is so easy and convenient world that our m.p. we can move in the future if war was cheap why not use a bit more pressure against the smaller countries and organizations stretch it out

a as much independent does manchukuo or a vichy france was in world war two it's a puppet state and it suffers from endemic corruption abuses of power in its government structure can be best described as a as organized crime it is not a state in any way shape or form just because the u.s. state department says it is a doesn't mean it is. well behaved ruling on cause of our also spot reaction from two other states seeking recognition of cancer and south say the move confirms their right to independence they hope the decision will push other countries to follow the example of russia and several other states which recognize them after the georgian war in two thousand and eight because you as prime minister. feels these republics have more of a right to independence then backed off because of. the worth of work but there's very little the president confirms of people's right to determine their own identity at the same time giving their arguments more weight on the other hand it's

all politicized and we can't be sure that if we went to the hague we would get a similar ruling we probably wouldn't in spite of the fact that we have more historical legal and moral grounds to demand independence than cost of a double standards do exist it's not a secret to anyone in any case people who object to our independence will now find it difficult to openly claim that we don't have the right to determine our own standing. well the conquest of space was one of the main goals for the soviet union and the us during the cold war next our r.t. looks at who was behind the space rifles programs. it started to. stick for almost a senate seat. in congress. in india the recent suicide of

anxious by predisposition would feel very very vulnerable a supreme court judgment in two thousand prohibited punishment in all its forms in india but it had its die hard many teachers and even some parents still believe in the need for this. we don't want to hear them but we get angry sometimes because we're taking so much effort to teach them so sometimes we are forced to hit them with or fifty children in a class teachers often resort to beating them to control their large numbers you hear words like phrases like it's a theatre of war out there teachers are sometimes frightened to go into class because there is such a lack of respect and. it's very hard to with in inverted commas control the class or discipline but for one loving father there can be no arguments about corporal punishment there's

our country all sports develop at the cost of the state so our main aim is to use the facilities the state can provide to make skateboarding more affordable and popular all across the country this state had special rules to make it different from others a skater performs a trick and his opponent have to repeat it. back as that's called the game of skate if you read it doesn't repeat the trick he gets a letter then if you fails more he gets more letters until he completes the word skate and then the skater is eliminated and others continue to perform tricks nevertheless the son had no sin but disciplines and spectators and he had behind clout so did nothing could stop writers from be forming their best tricks the contest is held on flat ground and such rules allow any rukus kedar it to take for it the vast one professional writers have a chance to compete with those who have already got their contract with sponsors. there is a competition with the same rules as qualifiers all around the world i remember in two thousand and six an unknown guy from germany won the contest among non-program
