state department has estimated that drone attacks kill fifty non targeted persons 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 our 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 london it's not what's happening in pakistan they are furiously enraged with us washington is looking to increase the funding food room 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 you. u.s. spy planes despite public discontent there's a lot of concern that the use of these drones by the u.s. government has more to do with u.s.
3:04 am
control over mexican territory than actually going out to the drug lords and winning the drug war while issues of international law and sovereignty trigger little interest among americans the prospect of having surveillance drones spying all across the u.s. 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 especially when you look at constitutional activities like free speech activities are going to be hovering over crowds that are merely maybe protesting the war or 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 and seven protesters in washington d.c. noticed small objects floating overhead it looked like dragons turned out they were robo flies but what about a pentagon surveillance devices as america continues developing this play station

longer. we can't have a common currency us some get lots of vacation time and others very less so that won't work in the long term. the statements caused through ring 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 chose sixty seven it's not possible to get clear why other people should go with six fifty nine which are certainly not responsible for the debts and deficits running portugal greece in the pic states raise the age when when the greek people retire. story all three people well we have to work along as well germans or wrote boiling point anger which could spill out onto the streets say something experts if the problems with the euro become more more bigger and bigger higher and higher but it is also not excluded or german people on the street because there's
3:08 am
a ok we don't want to pay any more powerful greens n l suing merkel's government claiming you to keep facts about whales from the public people in germany i ask you we have to pay it is so we have to give answers and the answers we don't get from our government even the ruling party's revolting close pizza will she's fighting all rescues since your views leaving the eurozone is in the interests of the struggling countries they should take the chance to say ok we get out we. saw our problems we have our victory structures those who gave them money for high interest rate we lose some of their money and. 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 the country's membership of the common currency is at risk of this takes the painful cost cutting medicine prescribed by the e.u. and the oil greeks no agree with germans who save a bit out of control the question is will weak states quit the euro and reorganize . and bring the single cause the down with the new bush will see. professor of political science p.r. land told r.t. the bailout want to revive the greek economy but push it further into the corner europe and the i.m.f. on greece to tighten its belt and war and war service no no way greece self 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 an art of you to pay back your debts i don't see how this money can restart the economy if people stand

less and less i think suggested now goes on there's a real danger that greece will have to back out of the euro in order to be able to do their huge currency to have more tourists to sell more products and so on originally when you the euro was created the left in europe was there much against it because you had a strong economy used a strong currency jean marc germany forming a monetary union with weaker economies and that is a recipe for trouble spain is another european country on the brink of a bailout but of a different kind it's fruit and vegetable exports have been wiped out after germany wrongly blamed spanish cucumbers for europe's deadly e. coli outbreak it's now believed the source was a farm within germany itself financial analysts adrian so bookie believes initial allegations could be part of a plan to split apart. when something goes wrong it is only human nature to try and
3:11 am
put the blame on somebody else and germany did that very powerfully accusing poor innocent spanish cucumbers of being the cause of the e-coli outbreak now nevertheless i think that there's probably a more subtle agenda behind 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 your money might put a lot of the european monetary makers of the euro very well for one could even imagine that germany the only germans and the powerful people in serbia are probably wondering why they haven't got themselves into europe to begin with so i think that it's not it's not just a shock to the first obvious conclusion of piece of news that we'll have people who must try and find all the layers of truth and reasoning that might like you if it's . working r.t.
