while pretending to be jewish. at least five suspected militants have been killed and four others wounded after a u.s. drone attack in northwest pakistan that follows saturday strike in the area in which sixteen people died while the u.s. military plans to increase production of unmanned planes to target the taliban the rising concerns that this will lead to more civilian deaths. the economy out of the blue i have two words for you predator drones i you'll 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 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 the taliban and you go off the persians you say hey we suspect we say they are terrorists but who has proof that the person you're actually targeting are 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 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
12:32 pm
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. where they cause to structured 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 guy comes into the office and shoots at target thousands of miles away from here and go back home no risk look forward to actually save the whole operation remind the media the question many ask is if it is so easy and convenient world that our m.p. we move in the future if war was cheap why not use that for special against the smaller countries and organizations to show it on a case you would try to sit around with a cable with a coke over simon vets him and has produced

12:35 pm
through our territory 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 stands didn't it hundred ninety one million u.s. dollars we will continue to provide humanitarian assistance. and coming up next nato is military committee chairman says the alliance sees moscow's a strong strategic partner not as a threat or enemy interview without rolled apollo's during his visit to moscow recently zone just a few moments time. joining me today is admiral. 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
12:36 pm
you for joining us admiral a pleasure really a pleasure 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 first of all that. and the alliance have a common interest to protect them and put. the proof creation of a distraction and the means of the leaders including ballistic missile is this is one of these threats so do i believe. in general in the interest. to protect themselves from this. i also believe that the meal let's say u.s. approach the so-called feast approach to missile defense is also
12:37 pm
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 threat as the mission understood now nato's secretary general has mentioned that there is an increasing threat of missiles attacking europe can you specific specify any of these threats or is there any one 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 looking from russia and also the european aside for the land side is clearly from the south generic and the reason an emerging threat and there is a certain country in the south and we know what we are talking in particular which
12:38 pm
can be a matter of a concern so. i think protection the people. of the alliance the old. russian people from a potential potential threat now the dutch military forces moving on to afghanistan 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 two days ago and if in confidence as shown every new strong commitment mind financial community by all over the country being present there were seventy kountry organisation present there with renewed commitment as for the alliance that
12:39 pm
has been unequivocal commitment to stay as the sake of the general sense as along it's to take to finish the job which does not mean that. the size of eyes of today would be the same in the a to come does mean that we adopt our posture to this is his vision our main engagement today is in helping the afghan security forces to become musts and of their own security in their own future in the was an important element of the transition which mean ten c. shooting on a ship of the process security governance of your 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 transmitting on
12:40 pm
a ship to the afghan authority in time we you know that president karzai said he's convinced that 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 forty will be there the process will be condition driven now there has been 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 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 reproduced as much as mcchrystal was really one of the mastermind of this new approach to afghanistan so therefore the defeat continuity of leadership and be able.
12:41 pm
the call by the trails was the same call by stanley mcchrystal by the need to secure the general by the alliance in general for reducing the we are doing the best possible effort to do that of this and in his speech in the kabul comes a record night that we call denies that a lot of the effort these we put into it is possible certainly the more than the operation the more difficult it is yes but the fact it is difficult does not mean that the 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.
12:42 pm
i mean i would like to chill you would you say because i don't think is there any way to put it. middle is not in its. need to is an organisation of free nation willing to share. to get their sort of value and first and foremost the value free democracy they want to protect them and it was stay together across to to save the planet. the atlantic charter which was written in one nine hundred forty nine well before the open door boys can merely said we are. not going to. which any european member who share these values in the freely choosing to be part of these alliance it can contribute to the to the value of the land is welcome so there is nothing to do with the expansion to the east 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
12:43 pm
when i say any i see any european nation large beak small or medium and even very large 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 have no i do put in only mutation to my right and because the planning as thomas friedman said is flat and what he's pled to is no red zone could and as things change who knows what the future will bring thank you very much for taking some time and speaking with us today.
