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 there pressing the button or 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 are all going to have a new realm of warfare a new room of breaking reaching into most people or. using pakistan yemen and elsewhere they have killed scores of civilians the former chief counterinsurgency strategist for the u.s. state department has estimated the drone attacks kill fifty non-target 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 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 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. control over mexican territory erik's will be going out to the drug lords and winning the drug war while issues of international law and sovereignty trigger

a little interest among americans the prospect of having surveillance drones spying all across the u.s. itself surely doubts you as 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 protests and some are governmental act and they'll be chilling free speech of their old will be equipped with some sort of weapon so some people are saying lasers will be able to only should listen to you 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 floating overhead it looked like dragonflies turned out they were robo flies and all about a pentagon now surveillance devices as america continues developing this play station mentality killing an intelligence gathering in pakistan people in fear that

it needed time they could become a target of the most deadly videogame and needle hearing be the last year that with their rapid expansion of supplied rolls of their own territory they could one day wake up you know to me police state i'm going to check our reporting from the arctic. in greece people are venting their anger against the government as it debates implementing harsher sturdy measures to secure further rate the e.u. and the international monetary fund of approved more cash for athens and appeared to save the country and a single currency from defaulting because all these daniel bushell reports there are all those ready to go to court to stop their country footing the bill. the euros did long leave germany says top lawyer marcus kerber he's suing the german government to stop it playing crop neighbors you can all say thank you i say would raise on the contrary you have to get rid of these is no longer with.

members of the european union the nations labeled in the region by some as the pigs 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 a lot some occasion time and others very less so that won't work in the long term. the statements caused greece but they're not happy in the e.u. 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 five which are certainly not responsible for the deaths and the deficits run in portugal greece and pick states raise the age when when the greek people retire. story all three people well 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 than it is also notice to the german people go on the street because they're say ok we don't want to pay any more powerful greens n l suing merkel's government claiming it hid facts about bailouts 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 close pizza will she's fighting all rescues since he argues leaving the eurozone is in the interests

of the struggling countries to take a chance to say ok we'll get out. of our problems we will have our restructured. money for high interest rate with some of the money and. qualifying 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 and this takes the painful cost cutting medicine destroyed by the e.u. and the i.m.f. greeks now agree with germany bits out of control the question is will weak states quit the euro and reorganize. and bring the single currency down with the new bush

or r t perlin or for more european bailouts log on to r.t. dot com you can also share with us what you think euro zone members should do well we've asked you if germany should continue handing out rescue packages to its failing neighbors and so far as we can see on screen most of you believe it should close its coffers since it's in weaker country's best interest to leave the faltering euro behind we haven't yet done so you can still have time to express your view just simply had to r.t. dot com. spain's and other european country on financial brink as its fruit and vegetable exports have been white tailed as are the 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 evidence of what she 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 germany very powerfully accusing

poor innocent spanish cucumbers of being the cause of the e-coli outbreak now nevertheless i think that is probably a more subtle and generally 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 market might put a lot of the european monetary mechanism the euro very although one could even imagine the german leader many germans really powerful people in germany are probably wondering why we even got themselves into europe to begin with so i think it's not it's it's wrong to just jump to the first obvious conclusion of a piece of news all real people too must try and find other layers of truth and reasoning that might like it. well they're coming your way shortly here in our

border disorder fear of renewed clashes of israeli troops open forum pro palestina protesters as israel blamed syria for trying to divert attention from its internal crisis. and a mission towards a final frontier is the new crew is set for an out of this world journey. two days left before blast up here at the baikonur cosmodrome we'll bring you details on the final preparations for. egypt's transitional government has accepted a three billion dollar known from the international monetary fund to help relaunch the country's economy barack obama has also promised cash for egypt well in the sarkozy pledge made to both egypt and tunisia but financial journalists often machall believes international financial heavyweights are the only ones who stand to benefit here. it's likely that the loans will have exactly the same kind of conditions attached it under previous i.m.f. loans to egypt and chile as europe which is meant massive cuts to the public sector

and private patients creating a business friendly environment is always the mantra of these organizations and what they're normally means is an environment unfriendly to the rights of local workers and to small businesses in the economy the people you can expect these loans to benefit most these international finance international banks and small egyptian and leach you have to look at the record that is institutions have had in the region within weeks or months of the uprisings in tunisia and egypt and even in libya they were the i.m.f. was giving out scorecard saying how well these countries were doing implementing reforms so i mean there's actually some people who argue that the better. the i.m.f. rates a country the closer it is to some kind of revolt or revolution because the the record shows that these institutions which the majority of people in there are in their actions. and syria's nuclear program will be a key topic for the u.n.

nuclear watchdog at its weeklong meeting in vienna i mean pressure from the u.s. and other states the e.a.a. is discussing whether they are zero which was destroyed by israeli warplanes in two thousand and seven was a nuclear site damascus and says it was a peaceful facility but the atomic agency is demanding concrete evidence to back up those claims. from the arab lawyers association told me earlier that washington and its allies are using the allegations as a tool to remove the current rulers in syria. now that the syrian regime is under fire this. trial has to be opened so that the international community of us gets the un and the way to accuse syria of violating international law so they can take the matter to this community council so that we can apply more pressure just yet again and the abuse of the international institutions for political culture is whether it's

a guy or whatever so this security council this is what the u.s. is doing the findings of the. time and for the last few years has been there was nothing there this is a building which has been inspected by the way at the time and number of guns but they are not they want to have the plans all of this it is out doing they told them a number of times that this is a military installation and this is nothing to do with a nuclear energy or power or a reactor the i.a.e.a. saying since you are not telling us what else you are going to use it therefore it must be a nuclear facility and that's why we're going to take the matter to the security council the other president on in the west is trying to change these regimes syria has been one of the pillars for existing foreign western policy and it's been anti israel and very clearly therefore it's time to get syria to bow down before you apply all the pressures domestically externally minded you must agree i think this

era regime is to blame for what's happening there but i think this is an idea the pressure which is being brought specially raising this issue after all these years till now doesn't talk a we're not cooperating but we don't say anything now that it is on its knees on its knees we have to raise up this project. israeli troops are braced for more tolerance after a day of deadly clashes with pro palestinian protesters on the syrian border but over twenty people have reportedly been killed since sunday when thousands started their march towards the israeli controlled garden heights the protesters were marking the anniversary of the nine hundred sixty seven middle east war when israeli security forces opened fire on israel blames the syrian regime accusing it of instigating the violence to deflect attention from problems at home with the activist stuff upon which he says there's only one aggressor in this conflict. other studios the i like the arabs and because struggling peacefully nonviolently of the are demanding the same thing democracy and peace the palestinians.

and the palestinians are now solution 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 it out there 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 military occupation which has become a system of study geisha and up on the rocks in human history israel is the oppressor the occupier of the apartheid system in south africa. could not continue because the people of south africa decided to struggle against it and deny that right of the south africans to be from apartheid the united states was the last to come 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 from demanding what freedom our

independence i want to democracy and the world has to accept palestinians as equal human beings to the israelis and equal human beings to everybody. and will stay with syria in the world. and state television rip. eighty policemen have been ambushed and killed in a gun battle in the north of the country officials claim security personnel came under attack by armed gangs in a town near the turkish border government forces are trying to quell the months long protests against the rule of president bashar al assad. the former i.m.f. chief has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex crimes it was dominique strauss carnes first appearance in a new york court since being released on six million dollars bail the frenchman is under house arrest and on guard and he was detained three weeks ago and faces seven different counts including the attempted rape of a hotel maid if found guilty he could spend up to twenty five years in prison. the

are sleepy and people are for the i fink from the european central bank official speech shows the. despite high oil prices and only a balanced budget russia seems unable to stab capital at the central bank says five billion dollars fled the country in may with the ad you also look specter to be around thirty five billion dollars and there's believe it's largely due to unattractive interest rates in the country in the figures for outflows in the last quarter of last year in the first five months of this year being very discouraging of course and a little bit of a surprise it's one factor why the ruble today's twenty eight dollars twenty six to go when it should be at that kind of level with one hundred and five hundred for the oil price i think there's some technical issues that the interest rates in russia have not been attracted so that meant that a lot with entrepreneurs and one financial organizations put their money abroad

quite sensibly as well i think also there is an element and this is just boring technical is that they need to resign and some of the thought of you know that and that goes with capital flight but it's not entirely however it is disturbing and some of it is you know lack of confidence in the political situation here and money running abroad and saying we'll wait and see what happens and that's a be safe than sorry. cash strapped bella ruth could finally be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel the country's one approval for a three billion dollar loan from russia and its partners inflation skyrocketed by twenty percent in five months forcing the governments to freeze some key food prices people have been desperately trying to buy foreign currency as the fellow russian ruble lost almost half of its value rather than look at shanghai is also seeking financial help from the international monetary fund now editor in chief of business new europe magazine ben arris says both russia and the i.m.f. are pushing for knock it will fold so the country. is in

a serious crisis i mean you could argue that the crisis in ninety one which looks like a 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 some have some money you know from russians through your a statement bank and talking to the i.m.f. but of course in both cases they come with strings attached slightly different i mean 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 and spending reform i think one of the interesting points is that you know in the past russia has it was subsidized but a russian economy and when they increased the gas prices about three years ago those subsidies came to an end and this crisis is a result of innocence russia's trying to put its relations with its neighbors or economic terms come back starting the headlines with will go away.

for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers. cultures that so much about the taxpayers and i mean it is a shame a significant amount of people at area saving the hero in the financial and political costs of doing so is it all worth it doesn't your own project need
