1:03 am
for each intended target one of the things the united states kind of pretends is that we are morally superior we are better just able to judge what is good for other people and therefore we are entitled to inflict judgement on them and that we presume they will be grateful to us for it but that is not what happens ever and it's not what's happening in yemen it's not what's have. coming in pakistan they are furiously enraged with us washington is looking to increase the funding for droom development by seven times over the next ten years a large part of that will go towards an armed surveillance drones the u.s. has for years been using them in another of its undeclared wars against drug traffickers in mexico the mexican government allows us biplanes despite public discontent there's a lot of concern that the use of these drones by the us government has more to do with u.s. control over mexican territory actually going out to the drug lords and winning the drug war while issues of international law and sovereignty trigger little interest
1:04 am
among americans the prospect of having surveillance drones spying all across the us itself surely does you ask police agencies are asking for drones for domestic surveillance raising the alarm among those who think that could be the end of american freedoms and specially when you look at constitutional activities like free speech activities that are going to be hovering over crowds that are merely maybe protesting the war protesting some are governmental act and they'll be chilling free street should roll be equipped with some sort of weapon so some people are saying lasers will be able to only should you are advocating against the government they've already been used in some instances in the united states when in two thousand servant protesters in washington d.c. noticed small objects floating overhead it looked like dragon's luck turned out they were robo flies developed by the pentagon surveillance devices as america continues developing this play station mentality killing any intelligence gathering
1:05 am
in pakistan people leaving the fear that it may be time they could become a target of the most deadly videogame and meet here in the last year that with their rapid expansion of spy drones over their own territory they could one day wake up you know into a police state i'm going to check our reporting for marky mark. so i have a program here in our city where abouts. now we'll look at how dozens of anti-government protesters are still missing in georgia almost two weeks after a while the police crackdown. and going to greece now where public anger is mounting over strict tourist area measures the government's promise to implement so it can get its hands on more eight european leaders have approved the next payment in its bailout for athens bidding to save the country and euro from a default but as artie's daniel bushell has been finding out those who are to pay the price of a new a package could soon take to the streets. the euro's did long leave

germany says top lawyer marcus kerber he's german government still. own crop neighbors you can save so you by saving greece but on the contrary you have to get rid of the great greece is no longer worth the candidate. of the european union the nations labeled in the region by some as the peaks of europe portugal ireland greece spain most troops the currency now be fully dry don't all the members. although last year raised the pension age to sixty five and could early retirement other countries believe that greek workers work less. a second time says chancellor merkel but if you want cash in future you must work longer. we can't have a common currency us some get lots of vacation time and others very less so that
1:07 am
won't work in the long term. the statement caused greece but they're not happy in the e.u.'s cash capital frankfurt either believing the greeks have had it too easy because if we are going to chill sixty seven it's not possible to declare why it should go with sixty fifty nine which are certainly not responsible for the debts and the deficits run in portugal greece in the pic states raise the age when when the greek people retire. story all the people we have to work along as well german zero boiling point anger which could spill out onto the streets say some experts if the problems with the euro become more and more bigger and bigger higher and higher then it is also not excluded the german people go on this week because there's a ok we don't want to pay any more powerful greens and they'll suing merkel's government claiming it hid facts about bailouts from the public people in germany i
1:08 am
ask you we have to pay this so we have to give answers and the answers we don't get from our government or even the ruling party's revolting clothes pizza will she's fighting all brisk use since he argues leaving the eurozone is in the interests of the struggling countries they should take the chance to say ok we'll get out we. have our structures. who gave money for high interest rate with some of their money and then they can qualify again for the euro maybe after ten fifteen years greece protests the euro's a straight jacket which blocks traditional ways to boost your economy like devaluing the currency or adjusting interest rates. even greece's european commissioner says that because trees membership of the common currency is that risk
1:09 am
unless athens takes the painful cost cutting medicine prescribed by the e.u. and the oil greeks no agree with germans out of control the question is will weak states quit the euro and reorganize or bring the single cause they dealt with the new bush will see. a professor of political science here to land told r.t. the bailout one of revive the greek economy but push it further into the corner of europe and the i.m.f. one greece to tighten its belt and war and war so there's no no way greece by itself can get out of the crisis is if you tighten your belt more and more you create a recession and if you create a recession this situation get worse and worse and it's harder and harder for you to pay back it gets i don't see how this money can we start the economy if people spend less and less i think suggests it now goes on there's a real danger greece will have to back out of the euro in order to be able to do
1:10 am
their currency to have more tourists to sell more products and stop originally when the euro which reaches the left in europe was there much against it because you had a strong economy used a strong korea to the jean marc germany forming a monetary union with weaker economies and that is a recipe for trouble. spain is another are european country on the brink of a bailout bite of a different kind it's fruit and vegetable exports have been wiped out after germany wrongly blamed spanish cucumbers for europe's terrible eco y. our break it's now believed the source was a farm within germany itself financial analysts had rience a bookkeeper weaves initial allegations could be part of a plan to split the e.u. apart. when something goes wrong when it is only human nature to try and put the blame on somebody else and germany very powerfully accusing the poor innocent
1:11 am
spanish cucumbers of being the cause of the e-coli outbreak now nevertheless i think that there's probably a more subtle agenda be highly all of this that is closely related to the fact that there are increasing centrifugal forces within the european union that already made a lot of people's talk about fractures powerful break ups we just heard in the previous nodes that if greece doesn't find its way around it's cool its financial crisis their money might put a lot of the european monetary mechanism the euro very often one can even imagine but germany how many germans and many powerful people in germany are probably wondering why they haven't got themselves into europe to begin with so i think that it's not it's it's wrong to just a jump to the first obvious conclusion of the piece of news that we really have paid which we must try and find other layers of truth and reasoning that might be a bit. you know what you don't see and we've got plenty more stories for you just ahead including preparing for
