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 at a command center in langley virginia they're watching a gun video on a video screen there pressing them right now 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 worse that seem to have no state all legal boundaries we've opened up a new realm of warfare a new room of breaking international and domestic law. used think pakistan yemen and elsewhere they have killed scores of civilians the former chief

counterinsurgency strategy of the u.s. state department has estimated the drone attacks killed fifty not 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 that's not what's happening in yemen it's not what's happening in pakistan and 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 forward on 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 this public discontent there's a lot of concern that yours is. these drones by the us government has more to do
7:04 am

the country and the euro from a default was artie's and daniel bushell has been finding out those who want to pay the price of a package could soon themselves taking to the streets. the euros did longly germany says top lawyer marcus kerber he's suing the german government to stop it. crop labors you cannot save so you are. on the contrary you have to get rid of greece is no longer worth a candidate i will never go with member of the european monetary union the nation's 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
7:07 am
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 not this very lesson 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 for it but 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 other people should go with sixty fifty nine which are certainly not responsible for the debts and deficits running portugal greece in the pit 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 some experts if the problems with the euro become
7:08 am
more more bigger and bigger higher and higher then it is also not excluded the german people go on the street because there's a ok we don't want to pay anymore the powerful greens and they'll suing merkel's government claiming it to keep facts about bailouts from the public people in germany i ask you do 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 close pizza will she's fighting all risk use since he argues leaving the eurozone is in the interests of the struggling countries they should take the chance to say ok we get out we. have structures. for money for high interest rate with some of that money and then they can qualify again for the euro maybe after ten fifteen years greece protests the euro's
7:09 am
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 contras membership of the common currency is that truth unless athens takes the painful cost cutting medicine prescribed by the e.u. and the i.m.f. greeks no agree with germans who think it's out of control the question is will weak states quit the euro and reorganize. and bring the single cause the down with them the new bushel r.t. . while a professor of political science p.r. agree alayna told us a reality that the bailout what revive the greek economy but rather push it further into the corner europe and the i.m.f. one greece to tighten its belt a 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
7:10 am
a recession this situation get worse and worse and it's harder and harder for you to be back again i don't see how this money can restart the economy if people stand less and less i think if the remedy is to just sit now goes on there's a real danger greece will have to back out of the euro in order to be able to do their new its currency to have more tourists to sell more products and sample regionally when you see euro which reaches the left in europe was there much against it because he had a strong economy used a strong currency that de mar germany forming a monetary union with weaker economies and that is a recipe for trouble. what you are discover more details that is on the ground our story just log on to our website of course you know it's our team dot com you can also participate in our daily read on as i said we were asking you should the german people have to keep on bailing out the struggling members of the e.u. so far the vast majority of you believe that they shouldn't because it's in the

best interests of the euro to break free from dying economies if you want to influence the outcome why not have your say party dot com is the place to go. spain is another european country on the brink of a. different kind it's fruit and vegetable exports have been wiped out after germany wrongly blamed spanish cucumbers for europe steadily ico like outbreak is now putting the source was a farm within germany itself financial analyst adrian a star but she believes that the initial allocations could be part of a plan to split the eurozone apart when something goes wrong with it is only human nature to try and put the blame on somebody else and germany did that very powerfully accusing the poor in a certain spanish cucumbers of being the cause of the e-coli outbreak now nevertheless i think that there is probably more subtle adjourn to be highly all of this that is closely related to the fact that there are increasing centrifugal
7:12 am
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 notice that if greece doesn't find its way around it's cool it's financial crisis you're looking might put a lot of the european monetary mechanism the europe very well for one could even imagine but germany you know many germans or many powerful people in germany are probably wondering why we haven't got themselves into europe to begin with so i think that it's not it's it's not good to just jump to the first obvious conclusion of a piece of news that we are the people who must try and find other layers of truth and reasoning that might be a bit. you are watching on sirius could you join us today and i mean you know stories for you just ahead including preparing for. the countdown to the baikonur cosmodrome well the next mission to the international space station is getting ready to head into. now israeli troops are
7:13 am
bracing themselves for more border violence after a day of deadly clashes with pro palestinian protesters on the syrian front at least twenty people were reportedly killed on sunday as thousands marched towards the israeli controlled golan heights the protesters were marking the anniversary of the one nine hundred sixty seven middle east war is ready security forces opened fire tel aviv however points blame towards the syrian regime accusing it of instigating the pollens to deflect attention from problems time. activist more stuff about the mission told us a little bit earlier that the claim is untrue as israel is the only aggressor in the conference. this is. not true. i think when you call it brought about a violence you have to see. where it was but only one side. or the israeli side which. would be useful to the spirit.
7:14 am
of the forty year old creation which has become the longest mission in modern history doesn't the international. must end its occupation is ok you patient military occupation of another country illegally given international court of justice decide that israel must end its occupation and its apartheid system in the occupied territories and an extension of your doesn't. like. those that are getting peacefully nonviolently the i'm demanding the same thing democracy . peace. it's hard i must talk about from one of our all right where you got a lot from us so it's not just on a quarter past the hour the fate of many opposition supporters remains unknown in georgia nearly two weeks since a brutal police crackdown on protesters in the capital tbilisi while with president saakashvili claims to be a champion of democracy and the country can win a rights groups say that finding out what's happened to the missing people is
7:15 am
practically impossible because r.t. is it sorry for the reports some families fear they will never see their loved ones again. when the riots were dispersed in the georgian capital of tbilisi think it's a few weeks ago that shock waves around the international community present back if only speaks a great deal but that's about what kristie georgia but the things they were witness will be 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 been tales of aggression behind bars of people getting a call think big concerns 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 the pool the protest take place she hasn't seen or heard from him since and has no idea where he is now. i was still pretty was it one police station so when there but they said he had been moved to
7:16 am
a police station another region and i went to them and they said he wasn't there either so now he's missing i don't know why 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 where her problems because these people are. potential central to her without providing us information where those people are taken so we have to. work and see visit all 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 are of the the demonstration it kicks in drives these body was found on a reef needed to create hysteria it was last seen photographed amongst those being detained the circumstances of his day remain extremely unclear there are
7:17 am
a lot of questions about these bodies because there were receiving looking for. nation inside where people where just leaving colleagues pleated people are there must run suspects some people have been beaten so terribly. there were even cases of bets with official inflation prevailing inconsistent and chaotic turns to stablish exactly what happened they see dying and they still missing extremely but there is a later they probably sting in history in theory are they going to give us his point where these people are so. information who was detained where the person was and saw it was a huge mess then you organizations are now working on establishing just what has been happening recently in georgia images of violence from the protest will stick in people's minds for a long while to come but this was a struggle started long before that night except to continue for some time after
