and while pretending to be jewish. these 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 there are rising concerns that this will lead to more civilian deaths. the car out of the blue two words for you predator drones. 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 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. like al qaida or the taleban and you go off to persons who say they 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
2:32 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 there are thousands of miles away and when they cause to structured they don't feel it here in washington d.c. suburb but cia drone operator don't wake up in the morning in their family goodbye come to the office and shoot at targets thousands of miles away from here and go back home no risk whatsoever specialists say the whole operation reminds of b.t.o. day the question many ask is if it is so easy and convenient we'll get our m.p. way to move more in the future if war is cheap why not use the people specially against the smaller countries and organizations touch it on a case you would try to sit around with a table with an open over simon vet saman has produced
2:33 pm
a research report on drones with the european parliament a monkey's 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 wars drones merely make more enemies by killing mostly innocent people are fueling rather than welling insurgency ganesh again. r t washington d.c. . couple of news stories here in brief amateur for the use of words showing that crush inside the tunnel of the press. police say they've now identified all but one of the raids victims in the city you describe more than three hundred others were injured as well as festival goers try to pack into the entrance the organizer of the largest take of it says it will never be again. the u.s.

international cargo and personnel to afghanistan to work to retore 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 wrote off the remainder of ghana stance against eight hundred ninety one million u.s. dollars we will continue to provide humanitarian assistance. up next tonight nato military committee chairman says the alliance sees moscow as a strong strategic partner not as a threat to read to me is our interview with admiral to power during his visit to russia. 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 admirals 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
2:36 pm
you for joining us admiral a 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 of 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 a new emerging threat the prove creation of a distraction and the means of the leaders including ballistic missile is this is one of these threats so there is i believe. in general an interest. to protect them from this i also believe that the meal u.s. approach so-called feast. approach to missile defense is also
2:37 pm
potentially attractive because it's focused on spiral development so looking at the target 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 diminished 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 that this moment that we're worried about well it's clear we know that the reason. generally speaking both looking from russia and those of the european aside for the land side is 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're talking in particular which
2:38 pm
can be a matter of a concern so. i think protection of 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 conference as shown every new strong commitment by the mitchell community by all over the country being president there were some. anti kountry organization president there with renewed that commitment as for the
2:39 pm
airlines that 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 new year to come does mean that we opt our posture to this as the situation will our main engagement today is in helping the afghani security forces to become musts and of their own security of their own future in the was an important element of the transition which means ten sitting on a ship of the pa system 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
2:40 pm
a ship to the afghan authorities in time we you know the president can say i 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 i went to the d. 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 an intensity in fighting with the taliban first of all the research change of command another change of strategy and one to also to remind that they reproduce as much as mcchrystal was really one of the mastermind of this new approach to afghanistan so therefore the difficulty with the leadership and the. the call
2:41 pm
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 record night that we call denies that a lot of effort is being 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 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
2:42 pm
i mean i would like to chill you would you say because i don't think is there any way to put it. it's not and if so. you need to is an organisation of free nation willing to share together sort of value and first and foremost the value free democracy they want to protect them and it was stay together across to the side of. the atlantic which was written in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine well before the open though a boys can merely said we had and. in 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 organisation in which any nation willing to abide to these values can be
2:43 pm
welcome and when i say any i see any european nation large beak small or medium and even. 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 into my own writing because the planning as thomas friedman said is flat and when he's played there 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.
