you know what's really happening to the global economy is is a report on r t. one hundred thousands of pakistanis protesting against deadly u.s. and drone strikes could soon be joined by angry americans as washington looks to bring unmanned air superiority closer to home. economists warn a more european aid for greece could bring the country to the brink of default that's a major sponsors of the bailout the germans question why they have to pay for athens a financial fate. plus israeli troops in the golan heights locked and loaded with license to kill hundreds of protesters tried to storm in from across the border with syria on sunday at least twenty people reportedly gunned down by

the israel. it is just after two pm here in moscow you with artsy rover essentially welcome to the program now a series of a u.s. drone attacks have reportedly killed at least sixteen people and pakistan has kept up the air strikes despite a recent declaration from the pakistani parliament calling for the end but we've been hearing u.s. government heavy investment in drone technology americans fear they could soon find themselves beneath a steel sky. when a u.s. drone hit the house of this young man in pakistan he lost an eye both legs and three family members. these people are demanding the cia be held responsible for the deaths of their loved ones but to no avail. with the use of drones comes

a lack of accountability those are being operated by somebody in the command center in langley virginia they're watching it on video on a video screen they're pressing the button they're deciding who lives and who dies and then they go off for a weekend where they have barbecues in their suburban virginia and suburban maryland homes and who pays the price the people who are the victims of the attack is there accountability none whatsoever drones have become the symbol of america's undeclared wars wars that seem to have no state all legal boundaries we've opened up a new realm of warfare a new rule more of breaking international and domestic law. using pakistan yemen and elsewhere they have killed scores of civilians the former chief counterinsurgency strategy for the u.s. state department has estimated the drone attacks killed fifty non targeted persons for each intended target and one of the things the united states kind of

crittenden's is that we are morally superior we are better judge 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 yemen it's not what's happening in pakistan they are furiously enraged with us washington is looking to increase the funding for drone development by seven times over the next ten years a large part of that will go to worst on our 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 i planed this fight public discontent there's a lot of concern that these drones by the u.s. 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 are. sovereignty trigger

a little interest among americans the prospect of having surveillance drones spying all across the us itself surely do not see you as police agencies are asking for drones for domestic surveillance raising 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 are going to be hovering over crowds that are merely maybe protesting the war or protesting some are governmental act in the be chilling free speech should roll deal with some sort of weapon so some people say lasers will be able to only show the students who are advocating against the government they've already been used in some instances in the united states alone two thousand servant protesters in washington d.c. noticed small objects or your head it looked like dragging current out they were robo flies developed by the pentagon and surveillance devices as american continues developing this play station mentality to killing any taliban's gathering in pakistan people leave in fear that it may be time they could become

a target in someone's deadly video game and maybe hearing the last year that with their rapid expansion of spy drones over their own territory they could one day wake up even on to a police state i'm going to check our reporting from washington r t. v it comes to life in the heart of moscow and still ahead for you in the program where. nothing really could have dozens of antigovernment protesters are still missing in georgia almost two weeks after a bloody police if you stay with us. right now as i turn our attention to out of greece where public anger is mounting over a strict austerity measures the government's government's promise to implement so it can get its hands on more you eight european leaders have approved the next payment and its bailout for athens being to save the country and the euro from a default but i thought you said that your question has been finding out those who are to pay the price of the new. package. to the streets. the euros

did long leave germany says top lawyer marcus kerber he's suing the german government to stop it bankrupt neighbors you cannot say he will. tell the country you have to get rid of greece is no longer worth a candidate. of the european monetary union the nations labeled in the region by some as the peaks of europe portugal ireland greece and spain must drop the currency now before they drag down other members wards kerber although athens last year raised the pension age to sixty five and could early retirement other countries believe that greek workers work less will bail you out 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 occasions i'm 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. capital free but even believing the greeks have had it too easy because if we are going to kill sixty seven it's not possible to declare why other people should always sixty fifty nine which are certainly not responsible for the debts and the deficits run in portugal greece in the pit states raise the age when when the greek people retire. sorry all three people what we have to work along as well germans or wrote boiling point anger which could spill out onto the streets say some experts if the problems with the euro become more bigger and bigger higher and higher then it is also not excluded german people go on the street because their say ok we don't want to pay any more the powerful greens n l suing merkel's

government claiming you to keep facts about wales from the public people in germany i ask you we have to pay these so we have to give answers and the answers we don't get from our government even the ruling party's revolting clothes pizza will shoes for it's all rescues since he argues leaving the eurozone is in the interests of the struggling countries to take the chance to say ok we get out we. solve our problems we have our structures. for money for high interest rate with some of the money and then they can qualify again for the euro maybe after ten fifteen years greece protests the euro's a straight jacket which looks 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 on this athens takes the painful cost cutting moodysson perscribe by the e.u. and the i.m.f. greeks no agree with germans who threw the bits out of control the question is will weak states quit the euro and reorganize. and bring the single cause the down with the new bushel artsy. professor of political science p.r. guru len told us a reality that a bell out won't revive the greek economy but just push it further into a corner europe and the i.m.f. one greece two taken spelt more and more 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 out 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 the remedy 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 our 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. discover more details about this bailout story just log on to our web site that's our com there you can also participate in our daily where polls now today we're asking you why should the german people have to bail out struggling members of you so far the vast majority believe they shouldn't because it's in the best interests of the euro to break free dying economies if you want to influence the outcome by all means have your say at our top profit is the place to.

those signs and other european countries on the brink of about output of a different kind it's fruit and vegetable exports are being wiped out after germany wrongly blamed spanish cucumbers for europe's deadly e. coli outbreak as i believe the source was a farmer within germany itself and a financial analyst adrian believes the initial allegations could be a plan to split the euro zone apart when something goes wrong when it is only human nature to try and put the blame on somebody else germany that very powerful 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 adjourn to be highly all of these 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 car sold fractures volatile break ups we just heard in the previous nodes that if greece doesn't find its way around its call its

financial crisis there might be might put a lot of the european monetary make use of the euro very often one could even imagine that germany or maybe germans or powerful people in derby 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 jump to the first obvious conclusion above of piece of news or we'll have people who must try and find other layers of truth and reasoning that might like it. all the way from spain and now to bell are also desperate for international help as it struggles to stay afloat we can all cross live to our business there are some more details on this and a lot so you are. with inflation skyrocketing by one fifth since the beginning of the i mean that's just a staggering increase so tell us one of the rescue plans remains well that's right well it's facing the most severe financial crisis since the collapse of the soviet union and to get through this the government wants to first of all to close the project deficit two times by july first it also wants to freeze some plain food

prices to curb rising inflation and the country agreed to the other measures as well like capital inflows including seven a half billion dollars in state asset sales now below is the first also also want to ask the i enough for a separate bailout package that's about eight billion dollars and i will bring you the details in our business program in about ten minutes from now so super committee thanks very much for your money. right we have got plenty more stories for you just ahead here on our to including preparing for glasgow where you start the countdown of the baikonur cosmodrome for the next mission to the international space station is getting ready to head into the. israeli troops are bracing themselves for more border violence after a day of deadly clashes with pro palestinian protesters on the syrian frontier at least twenty people were reportedly killed on sunday years thousands march towards israeli controlled golan heights on the anniversary of the one nine hundred sixty

seven middle east war we can of course live to the west bank and talk about the roots of the bloodshed with democracy activist mustafa barghouti is now joining us live and hello to you so tel aviv claims the regime in damascus is behind the violence that we saw yesterday is it perhaps just trying to deflect attention away from the tensions at home is that realistic. this is. not true and i think when you call it brought a gun violence you have to see israeli border violence because it is the only one side practice violence is the israeli side which peaceful nonviolent demonstrators who are peacefully demonstrating demanding the end of the four year old daughter if you say i'm sorry you say the protesters were peaceful protesters but we saw footage of palestinians are lighting rocks and stones at the i.d.f. soldiers you call that are peaceful demonstrations then. you equate to between rocks and bullets between. these were

civilians who had no weapons with them and let me talk about what happened here in ramallah yesterday we were demonstrating peacefully at kalandia checkpoint this is not the border with israel this is the checkpoint between us and that we are inside . and we were totally nonviolent we were totally peaceful and the israeli army used every kind of violence against they was very high velocity bullets they use that out of bullets they use the gun shots they use. tear gas bombs round bombs they beat us just as we were peacefully demonstrating and try to express our view. and there could be some disagreement there could be some disagreement over so-called or peaceful demonstrations excuse me for interrupting but we certainly saw the footage of tear gas being used by the israeli defense forces under international law israel has every right to defend its borders so what

a palestinian supporters hoping to achieve by attacking the times. you are biased to israel and you are going to israeli view and you should ask a question doesn't national laws here the. question is ok you patient military occupation of i got a country illegally didn't the international court of justice decide that israel must end its occupation and it's a problem. and an extension of your views and you cannot think israel about international law and you would report think you should not be biased you should be objective and try to see the palestinians like. everything but i getting peacefully nonviolently demanding the same thing but not one of these demands at least some on these democracy freedom. these this has been going on for decades you've seen it administrations by by the dozens of american presidents trying to bring peace to the middle east i'll talk to me about this in september un members i

will consider a proposition for the creation of an independent palestinian state if indeed that would be established using the palestinians would then agree to live side by side with israel peacefully. the palestinians have. a listing as. it is that it does not recognize palestine israel is the only country in the world that is a member of the united nations that does not have a constitution and did not declare the now its borders i wish you would ask this question to put it all prime minister why is that and if you insist i didn't fight it's because israel continues to expand and continues to annex other people's land and in the course is they have created this long military occupation which has become now a system of segregation and. the rust in human history israel is the oppressor. as we've heard from you now several times israel is the oppressor israel is your

bring us back if you would once again to the possible establishment of a palestinian state considering america's very powerful influence the world body of the un is there any chance that such should recognition pashley passthrough get voted through the wall. even if then i just this does not that it will denies it we will continue to ask for it and we will get it. system in south africa. could not continue because the people of south africa decided to struggle against it and deny the right of the south africans to be from the united states was the last and this will be the case here in palestine the fact that the israeli lobby is very powerful in the united states will not stop us but i'm demanding freedom independence i want a democracy and the world has to accept palestinians as human beings to the israelis and equal human beings to everybody that i'm has come for us to be free

and we will continue our peaceful demonstrations we get our freedom and independence nobody can stop us from achieving that most of the palestinian democracy activist from ramallah many thanks. now the fate of many opposition supporters remains unknown in georgia nearly two weeks since a brutal police crackdown on protesters in the capital tbilisi well the president saakashvili claims to be a champion of democracy in the country human rights groups say that finding out what's happened to the missing people is practically possible and as our teams surface reports some families fear they will never see their loved ones again. when the riots were dispersing the burden capitola to believe think it's a few weeks ago that shock waves around the international community present back if only speaks of bringing a weapon about democracy to georgia but the thing is the witness with the years of experience both by his police operation against largely peaceful protests the even

more disturbing we've been finding out that in the aftermath there's been tales of aggression behind the bars of people going missing who think they can among their friends and their relatives kyrgyzstan was a member of an opposition group he was arrested as part of the crackdown on opposition three days that fooled the protest take place she hasn't seen or heard from him since and has no idea where he is now. i was still he was at one police station so i went there but they said he had been moved to a police station another region and i went to that one and they said he wasn't there either so now he's missing i don't know why and she's not the only one with questions in the days leading up to the protest during and after many people have been arrested and finding all these people is proving extremely difficult in some cases we hope problems because people are moved from. the tension center to another without providing us information where those people are so we have to go. and see

because the detention places and find these people which is absolutely. almost impossible for us in consistencies in official information and even more troubling when it comes to some of the deaths surrounding the protests these of the demonstration it kicks in drives these body was found on a wreath near the protest area was last seen photographed amongst those being detained the circumstances of his death remain extremely unclear there are lots of questions about those borders because they were receiving a lot of him for. nation inside when people where just leaving police beating people are demonstrates that some people have been beaten so terribly. that we're even cases of us with official information treating inconsistent and chaotic attempts to establish exactly what happened to these he dies and to the still

missing it's extremely hard for the eyes of the police minister in theory are they going to give us response where these people are so. who was detained where the person was and saw it was huge mess then you'll get i think the now working on establishing just what has been happening recently in georgia the images of violence from the protest will stick in people's minds for a long while. this was a struggle started long before that night's looks set to continue for some time after sara r.t. tbilisi with r.t. live from moscow can't go on a husband gone baikonur cosmodrome revamped version of the soyuz spacecraft has now been moved into position it's ready for blast off just a few days it will carry earth three crewmembers to the international space station for a six month mission on board most remote outpost different reports from for launch . the twenty eighth expedition to the international space station blast off from

here at the baikonur cosmodrome so far everything is run according to plan very smooth indeed we've got three people heading up into space from here russian cosmonauts sergei volkov japanese astronaut such kosher food will cholera and american astronaut mike fossum and with us is mike fossum son he's going to give us a little inside story as to how it's been living and preparing for a space expedition with an astronaut what is it like actually living with an astronaut day in and day out he's just a normal guy you know we were just talking a minute ago about how he seems like a nice guy and he really is he is really down to earth and i feel like a lot of these guys are they're just they're just due to marriage to get this job and now as i was going into space it's going to you know what are the things you notice about your dad and comes back from a trip up there you know he's kind of a macho man and so you know he likes to think that he's going to be ok when he

comes back but we'll see because you know they're really weak when they come back will be out there for six months and his muscles will be weak it's going to be weak so we'll see if he if he takes that wheelchair like so many of the other astronauts do or not thank you so much for talking. all right guys this rock is being put into position to hold steady upright for the next three days until launch until then we'll be keeping a close eye on the operations seeing how everything is going to make sure that it is smooth sailing for blastoff on june eighth. time of the business with current. welcome to. talk top story castra bello rose could find the light at the end of the tunnel because he has won approval for three billion dollar loan from russia and had c.i.s. parts inflation has skyrocketed by twenty percent in five months forcing the government to freeze some key food prices. will have been desperately trying to buy

foreign currency as the pair of us rebel lost almost half its value president look at shanghai is also seeking financial help from the international monetary fund. now to discuss the issue i'm joined by barris editor in chief of business news here thanks he then thanks for coming and sharing. to the program so what you what could make the i.m.f. thought the example of russia and the c.i.s. and give this a billion dollar loan to belarus well it's kind of a job i mean the job is helping countries in transition who get themselves into trouble and the roses and so a lot of trouble in so much as it's running out of currency quickly and the economy is going into freefall but the hesitating mainly i think because of the political situation the elections in december before the riots arrests and a very nasty crack and so this i'm doing in so much as they need to be sure that any promises from the pressuring him to further through on reforms and what have

you actually followed up on i'm not sure what that will be now if this loan does come through how much breathing space will get. probably about three years and so much just running a trade deficit of around three billion dollars and that's was bleeding the money i mean the russians have put the price of gas up on them and used to be very cheap and that was subsidizing the economy but this is a billion dollars in progress even through for three years and that will come of the program and the idea then is to put reforms in and get some economic growth so that it will spend the money and from now president the senate has pledged to cut the budget deficit by cutting investment and increasing exports do you think these measures could help not ridicule i mean exposes kind of out of his hands i mean the sorts of the market is trying to export as much as they can half of which goes to europe and half of which goes to russia and in that sense is already quite successful economy and so much of that's one of the few use in european countries it has for. this particular european union but including investment i mean that's

counterproductive i mean they need to invest in the most heavily they have all the same problems as russia does need for the infrastructure and roads and all of these things and so it's kind of smacks of desperation i mean if they're going to cut the deficit cutting investment now from not from your point of view what other measures should i was introduced in order to get out of this terrible financial crisis to think of the space you need to do everything i mean they they actually have committed themselves they have instantly first of all international investment conference in london in two thousand and eight and the foreigners came in large numbers and i was chairman of the conference i'm surprised at how much interest there was a domestic investing in it because it's a very cheap manufacturing varies you know relatively central in europe and so particularly countries like germany would love to sell production parts base they face the problems with iraq receive paperwork and corruption and what is that is what's hampering yes essentially is still very authoritarian state it's very

difficult to work the government interferes with everything and there's no some freedom in the free market do you think this crisis could actually end up like a overthrowing of the government is there any chance that this government could be overturned tension eventually yes tensions are high i mean you know all the factors that went into colored so-called colored revolutions we've seen elsewhere in the region are there i mean the people are very unhappy but their savings are being devalued the standard of living is not half of what it is in the rest of the region which is growing quite quickly and the young people have been leaving leaving so the tensions of the two it's impossible to say you know if you should come soon to a head. by the nature of these kind of the british and so intrinsically unpredictable but certainly he needs to do something i mean he's being left behind all around him you know countries are reforming and growing and joining the international community to some extent and there's some kinds of regulation just like nation they're being left behind ok ben thanks very much of coming to the

program and sharing this here on the problem thanks. and that's all the time we have for you this hour but i'll be back with more in about forty five minutes from now so i hope you'll join us. we'll. bring you the latest in science and technology from the realms. we've got.
