downer with drones thousands of pakistanis voice anger at the scale of civilian deaths through unmanned u.s. strikes but americans are also sounding the alarm over the possible use of the technology on home soil. no peace over greece massive protests in athens against the nation's financial plight could be echoed by similar rallies in other european states to vent theory of a bailing out the country. and the fate of many antigovernment activists in georgia remains unknown after a brutal police crackdown the families fearing they might never see their relatives in.

a very warm welcome here this is on sale at live from moscow the latest u.s. drone attack in the volatile northwest pakistan has killed at least eighteen people while official reports claim the casualties were militants some witnesses name civilians among the victims and as drones have become one of washington's most favored weapons americans fear the technology might soon be used to snoop a little bit closer to home he's got a nature you can use this story. was so that 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 at

a command center in langley virginia they're watching it on video on a video screen they're pressing a 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 the legal boundaries we've opened up a new realm of warfare a new room of breaking international law into most people or. using pakistan yemen and elsewhere they have killed scores of civilians the former chief counterinsurgency strategist with the u.s. state department has estimated that drone attacks kill fifty not targeted persons for each intended target but one of the things you know it's kind of pretense 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 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 through the worst unarmed surveillance drones the us has for years been using them in another of its undeclared wars against drug traffickers in mexico the mexican government allows us. spy planes 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 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 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 protesting some are governmental act and they'll be chilling free speech should roll be equipped with some sort of weapon so some people saying lasers will be able to only should the students who are advocating against the government they've already been used in some instances in the united states and in two thousand servant protesters in washington d.c. noticed small objects falling over here to look like dragon turned out they were robo flies and what about the trailing surveillance devices as america continues developing this play station mentality killing an intelligence gathering in pakistan people leave in fear that it may be time they could become a target of the most deadly videogame and maybe hearing the last year that with

their rapid expansion of sky drones over their own territory they could one day wake up you know on to me police state i'm going to check our reporting from our our team. five minutes past the hour here in moscow in greece people are venting their anger against the government as it debates implementing harsher austerity measures to secure further aid the e.u. and the international monetary fund have approved more cash for athens in a bid to save the country and the single currency from defaulting but it's our visa to help push our ports and there are those who are actually ready to go to court to stop their country from footing the bill. the euros did longly germany says top lawyer markus kerber he's suing the german government to stop it paying crop neighbors you cannot save. the country you have to get rid of these is no longer worth

a candidate there were none but. the nations labeled in delusion by some as the peaks of europe portugal ireland greece and spain most drop the currency now before they drag down other members wants 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 time now there's very little 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 chill sixty seven it's not

particularly clear why other people 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. sorry 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 more bigger and bigger higher and higher and it is also not excluded that german people go on the street because they say ok we don't want to pay anymore the powerful greens and else who's government claiming it did facts about bailouts from the public people in germany i ask you do we have to pay this 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 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 our problems we want to have our restructured. pay for money for high interest rates some of that 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 of this athens takes the painful cost cutting medicine prescribe by the e.u. and the i.m.f. greeks now agree with germans who threw the bit out of control the question is will week states quit the euro and reorganize or thirty and bring the thing because

they've dealt with the new bushel r.t. . well the next payment on a greek rescue package is expected to come in july but the professor of political science professor rather he had a girlfriend says that the money will do the country's economy more harm than good . in europe and the i.m.f. one greece to tighten its belt more and more are so there's no no way greece by itself can get out of the crisis is if you take in 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 debts that i don't see how this money can restart the economy if people stand less and less i think the remedies 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 new its currency to have more tourists to sell more products and start all regionally when you the euro was created a left in europe was there much against it because you had a strong economy used a strong currency that demarche germany forming a monetary union with weaker economies and that is a recipe for trouble. well for more on the european bailouts just log on to our website of course our team thought you can also tell us what you think the eurozone should do we're actually asking asking you if germany should continue giving out cash for failing economies and so far most didn't believe it should close its coffers since it's in the country's best interest to break free from the faltering euro if you haven't yet you still have a chance to share your opinion is going on too long. spain is another european country on the financial brink as its fruit and vegetable exports have been wiped out it's after germany wrongly blamed spanish cucumbers for

the deadly e. coli outbreak it was later believed to have originated on a german farm but officials now say that's not the case either financial analyst. believes the initial allegations could be part of a plan to drive a wedge between euro zone members. when something goes wrong it is only human nature to try and 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 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 notice that if greece doesn't find its way around it's cool its financial crisis their market might put a lot of the european monetary make use of the year old very often one could even

imagine that germany or many germans are 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 wrong to lead to just jump to the first obvious conclusion of the old piece of news or we'll pay but you must try and find other layers of truth and reasoning that might like it. now are coming your way shortly here on arts he border disorder fear of renewed clashes after israeli troops are protesting in protesters as israel claims syria are trying to divert attention from its internal affairs. and the mission towards the final frontier as the new i say screw it separate out of this world just. two days left before blast up here in the backyard cause my girl will bring you details from the final preparations. in georgia i'm sure relatives are looking for missing loved ones nearly two weeks

since a brutal crackdown on protesters in the capital tbilisi many opposition supporters detained by police some even before the demonstrations haven't been seen sence sara furthur with some of the desperate families. when the riots were dispersing a good incompatibility believe it's crazy around the international community say president back if only speaks of braille but the skull democracy of georgia but the things that were witnessed with the years of experience both by his police operation against largely peaceful protests the leader more disturbing we've been finding out that in the aftermath there been tales of aggression behind the bars of people going missing who think their concerns among their friends and their relatives here really so he was a member of an opposition group he was arrested as part of the crackdown a lot has issued in 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 told that he was at one

police stations when there but they said he had been moved to police station in another region and i went to that one 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 these 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 it's attention places and find these people which is absolutely. almost impossible for us inconsistency as an official information and even more troubling when it comes to some of the deaths surrounding the protests these are through the demonstration it kicks in judd's these body was found on a wreath near the protest area was last seen photographed amongst those being

detained the circumstances of his remain extremely unclear there are lots of questions of our. borders because we were receiving a lot of information from inside when. people where just leaving police be to people. some people have been so terribly bad there were even cases of this with official information treating inconsistent and chaotic attempts to establish exactly what happened to those he dies and those still missing extremely hard. thing in history interrelated even to keep us from this point where these people were sold a different key role to information who was detained where the person was and sold or it was a huge mess then you'll get i think 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 to come but this was

a struggle started long before that night except to continue for some time after their first r.t. tbilisi. now a quarter past the hour here in moscow you without saying it's ready troops are braced for more violence after a day of deadly clashes with pro palestinian protesters on the syrian border twenty people have reportedly been killed since sunday when a thousand started their march towards the israeli controlled golan heights protesters were marking the anniversary of the one nine hundred sixty separate middle east war when israeli security forces opened fire blames the syrian regime using it over instigating violence attention from the problems. but democracy activists mustafa barghouti says there's only one restaurant that's called. the studio like. i getting peacefully nonviolently demanding the same thing democracy for. the palestinians.

and the palestinians now it's for the mission. does not that it would be nice palestine israel is the only country in the war that is a member of the united nations that does not have a constitution and did not be cleared up to now its borders because israel continues to expand and continues to i mix out of people's land and in the process they have created this long. beach in which has become now a system of segregation. in human history israel is the. prototype system in south africa. would not continue because the people of south africa decided to struggle against it and. the right of the south africans will be from the united states was the last to come and this will be the case here in fact this time the fact that the israeli lobby is very powerful in the united states will not stop us from demanding go out of freedom our independence i want

a democracy and the world has to accept palestinians as equal human beings to the israelis and equal human beings to everybody. it would be moscow court has returned a plea for parole from the jailed russian ex oil tycoon with a cough ski and judge cited a lack of documents to support the play out of course he is currently in prison for stealing tens of millions of dollars worth of oil and laundering the proceeds you set to be released from prison in two thousand and sixteen but for parole having served half of its time the court says it's ready to consider the plea offer however of course he completes work on the necessary papers. well if you've missed something on our program here you can always catch it on our web site www dot com there are plenty of other stories and videos there as well let's see what's waiting for you right now and find out how george w. bush and dick cheney ended up alongside hitler on

six through the hole when it should be at that kind of level with one hundred and five hundred ten for the oil price i think there's some technical issues though that the interest rates not being attractive so that meant that a lot with entrepreneurs and non financial organizations could money abroad quite sensibly as well i think also there is an element in this is just boring technical is that they needed to refinance some of the thought and you know make the debt and that goes with capital flight but it's not entirely however it is disturbing and some of it is you know a lack of confidence in the political situation here and money running abroad and saying we'll wait and see what happens and that's the be safe than sorry. so go to the markets now when oil is dropping for a second day on signs of a slowdown in the u.s. and before this week's opec meeting to decide production for this u.s. markets open with my over klein and that's after five straight weeks of declines

would deliver its gas to asia instead it's a coconut or else he believes the remarks are intended to spur china rather than the e.u. . i think is pretty much stating the obvious in the sense that everybody knows that sooner or later gas from will start supplying gas to china and that will be quite significant of slightly less than half of what it's now supplying to the e.u. . maybe even more see how it works out but. it's very much repeating the obvious given a slightly different color can you and it's also head of the economic forum in st petersburg where we would like to see some kind of announcement or at least preliminary agreement between russia and china on gas applause. castro can finally be seen the light at the end of the tunnel the country has won approval for

a free billion dollar loan from russia and its partners and inflation skyrocketed by twenty percent in five months forcing the governments of raise some key food prices have been desperately trying to buy foreign currency as the better russian ruble lost almost half of its value present because shanghai is also seeking financial help from the international monetary fund editor in chief of business new europe magazine ben ara says both russia and the i.m.f. are pushing for market reforms. but it's in a serious crisis i mean you could argue that the crisis in ninety one which looks like will put off by keeping tight control of the economy has finally arrived and they need money they need cash to keep keep the country afloat so i have some money from russians through your a statement saying that in talking to. but of course in both cases they come with strings attached slightly different the russians are pushing for privatization whereas the i.m.f. will come with a different set of strings which will be about bureaucracy and pension reform

spending reform i think one of the interesting points is that given the pressures it was subsidized. economy and when the increase in gas prices about three years ago subsidies came to an end and this approach prices as a result of. russia's trying to put its relations with its neighbors are economic terms. from the business desk for now we will be back next hour with an update rory is next with the headlines.
