called convict muslim man over rape by deception this is coming off to he from so-called slept with a woman while pretending to be jewish. new ways of tackling h i v e r unveiled at an international aids conference in vienna and some label it as nothing more than a pharmaceutical marketing fad. well at least five suspected militants have been killed and four others wounded after a u.s. drone attack in northwest pakistan this follows saturday's strike in the area in which sixteen people died while the u.s. military plans to increase production of on man planes to target the taliban there are rising concerns this will lead to more civilian deaths. the economy out of the blue i have two words for you predator drones i you will never see it coming a drone least 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 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 organizations which are. like ok you know that bomb and you go after persians you say hey we suspect we say they are terrorists but who has proven that the person you're actually targeting terrorists. they're not they're 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
10:32 am
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. when they caused the structure they don't feel it here in washington d.c. suburb but the i.a.e.a. drone operator wakes up in the morning the family goodbye comes to the office and shoots at targets thousands of miles away from here and go back home no risk look forward to actually save the whole operation remind the media ok the question many ask is if it is so easy and convenient world of our m.p.

way to move forward in the future if war is cheap why not use that before especially against smaller countries and organizations to show it on a case you would try to sit around with a cable with to talk it over simon vets' him and has produced a research report on drones with the european parliament among his concerns are the consequences of terrorists getting hold of such weapons a scenario sunlight likened to real life but deadly robot wars demonstrators outside cia headquarters at the start of the year protested against indiscriminate killings by unmanned weaponry they say that rather than winning war drones merely make more enemies by killing mostly innocent people are fueling rather than quelling insurgency ganesh again. r t washington d.c. in. afghanistan is to take control of its future by two thousand and fourteen plans

to hand power back to local authorities and the country will discuss that couples largest international conference in decades britain and pakistan have said that some international forces may remain beyond the deadline to train afghan police and soldiers the conference also dealt with reconstruction aid and development in the water and country as well as fighting corruption and the rampant drug trade russia's foreign minister pledged that moscow will continue to help. we're committed to supporting you in efforts on stabilizing afghanistan and we will continue to allow transit of international cargo and personnel to afghanistan through our territory so we're working on additional measures to keep afghan forces together with our partners we're also helping restore the afghan economy this year russia rolled off the remainder of ghana stansted eight hundred ninety one million u.s. dollars we will continue to provide humanitarian assistance. and up next nato as a military committee chairman says the alliance is moscow as
10:35 am
a strong strategic partner and not as a threat or enemy our interview with admiral of the power during his visit her moscow is on in just a few moments. joining me today is admiral jump. who is the chairman of the nato military committee and as you may know nato was established as an alliance between countries to defend against outside threats the admiral's with me today to talk about the possibilities of a future between russia and nato as well and the direction nato is taking so thank you for joining us admiral and good pleasure really a pleasure the first question let's get right down to it anders fogh rasmussen has called on russia to join the new anti-ballistic missile defense project now in your opinion what could make this an attractive option for russia but i believe
10:36 am
first of all the. russia and the alliance have a common interest to protect them instead of putting you committing to it the prove creation of a bomb of the structure and the means of delivery including ballistic missiles is this is one of these threats so there is i believe. in general and interest. to protect themselves from this. i also believe that the new point let's say u.s. approach so-called feast approach to missile defense is also potentially attractive because it's focused on spiral development so looking at the trip as the image which is always been one i think of the classical strong position by russian side we have to take care of the
10:37 am
threat as the militia understood now nato's secretary general has mentioned that there is an increasing threat of missiles attacking europe can you specify any of these threats or is there anyone in particular that is singled out to this moment that we're worried about what is clear we know that there is a generally speaking both looking from russia and also the european aside for the land side because clearly from the south generic and the reason is an emerging threat and there is a certain country in the south and we know what we are talking here in particular which can be a matter of a concern so. i think protection of the people. oh the alliance the old. russian people from a potential potential threat now the dutch military forces moving on to afghanistan
10:38 am
. something that's on people's minds they're in the process of withdrawing from afghanistan canada has announced that they are going to be pulling out what is the future prospects for nato in afghanistan and is it in line with obama's policy of wanting to increase nato forces in the country welcome to conferences they can please just to the ago and if in confidence as shown every new strong commitment by informational community by all over the country being present there were seventy kountry organization president there with renewed that commitment as for the airlines that has been unequivocal commitment to stay as the sake of the general says as along to take to finish the job which does not mean that. the size of eyes of today would be the same in the year to come does mean that we docked our posture to this situation will our main engagement today is
10:39 am
in helping the afghan security forces to become musts and of their own security of their own future in the was an important element of the transition which mean. on a ship of the process security governance of the own to the african government with the support that would be made but does not mean. let's go home and all has been said clearly it's just a process of transiting on a ship to the afghan. in time we you know the president can do that said he's convinced by two thousand and four fourteen. the afghan forces will be control of their own country and we are working for that but even when two thousand fourteen will be there the process will be condition driven now there has been
10:40 am
recently leadership change general david petraeus. first of all how is that going second of all he has made a commitment to reduce civilian casualties is that possible given an intensity in fighting with the taliban first of all the research change of command them another change of strategy and one to also to remind that they really protest as much as mcchrystal was really one of the mastermind of this new approach to afghanistan so therefore there is definitely continue to be of leadership and be able. the call by the trails was the same call by stanley mcchrystal by the need to secure the general and by the alliance in general for reducing the. we are doing the best possible effort to do that to achieve this and i need speech in a couple comes recalled tonight that we call denies that
10:41 am
a lot of effort he's been put in that. it is possible certainly the more than the operation the more difficult it is yes but the fact that it's difficult does not mean that it's not possible and we have the means to do it now in the past a bone of contention if you will between russia and nato is nato expansion towards the east and recently ukraine has dropped its intentions to try and become a member of nato do you think becoming a member of nato is becoming a less attractive or do you think. what do you see on this front in the future i mean i would like to change what you say because i don't think is the right way to put it. the middle is not in ifs and silly so there needs to need to is an organisation of free nation willing to share together certain value and first and foremost the value freedom of prosy they want to protect their value and
10:42 am
it was stay together across to the side of atlantic. the atlantic charter which was written in one nine hundred forty nine well before the open door points clearly said we are. not going to and lines which any european member who share these values in the freely choosing to be part of these alliance it can contribute to the value of the alliance is welcome so there is nothing to do with the expansion to these to the north to south to the west we have an organization in which any nation willing to abide to these values can we will and when i say any i see any european nation large big small or medium and even their lives even very large do you think that do you ever see russia as being a member of nato at some point i would respond to your question with a question would you i am no i don't put no limitation to my own writing. because

soaring to new heights here in the russian capital but that hasn't stopped the city's skateboarding elite from getting their thrills the latest stage of the moscow state trooper getting underway constantine to top off was there to see the tricksters in action. but. you would think the extreme hot weather would put a stop to the most extreme action except for water sports however skateboarders were tough enough to get around to the baking sun and take part in the fourth leg of the mosque or ski tour twenty tamp it sounds a little bit strange for such an independent extreme sport like skate mourning but the fact is that the contest was organized by the russians good morning federation and the federation was established to make skateboarding more popular in russia in 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 but 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'd be hung out sold it 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 last 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 it has qualifiers all around the world i remember in two thousand and six an unknown guy from germany won the contest among non-programmers and got to the final where he competed with a world class rider and thousands of people witnessed that and the tension was as
