7:14 am
this week u.s. armed drones and fighter jets had a number of suspected militant targets it comes as the yemeni government washington's ally clings on to power in the face of an uprising and the war activists are frowned or says america is not being honest about its motives. this is just another criminal illegal absolutely and it's lawlessness on such a scale hypocrisy at the very time that the u.s. is using the un security council the international criminal court to bring charges against other countries for terrorism and it is clearly exposed in international terrorism itself in yemen and of course in sabotage teams in syria and then bombing of libya not to mention the devastating wars in iraq and afghanistan in yemen is to protect a complete thirty three year dictatorship of salo who's now out for our health
7:15 am
reasons and saudi arabia and our power to protect his regime potentially bring him back and it's been used against of people's movement anyone that the u.s. is a threat to them is now being labeled as al-qaeda and it's open season in terms of attacks and and bombs and drone attacks on any number of different resistance organizations. u.s. drones have also been used in pakistan where its latest strike killed at least eighteen people what official reports claim that councils these were militants some witnesses name civilians among the victims and as drones have become one of washington's most favored happens americans fear the technology might soon be used to snoop a little closer to home and it's to plan reports this when u.s. drone hit the house of this young danny pakistan he lost an eye both legs and three family members. these people are demanding the cia be held responsible for the
7:16 am
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 the button. 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 their 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 all grown up a new realm of warfare a new realm of breaking international and domestic war. used in pakistan yemen and elsewhere they have killed scores of civilians the former chief counterinsurgency strategist for the u.s. state department has estimated that drone attacks kill fifty non targeted persons
7:17 am
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 droom development by seven times over the next ten years a large part of that will go towards 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 biplanes this by 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 actually going out to the drug lords and winning the

election in its history. has more on russia. june twelve nineteen ninety one millions voted to make boris yeltsin russia's first president a watershed moment in the country's history of the war this was the first free election ever in russia a day after we left behind a totalitarian state and had a new job of building a democratic society that respected the rights of its people by the time the lection took place the soviet union had less than a year to live but no one knew how it would disintegrate its fifteen republics began to declare sovereignty one by one while staying a part of the u.s.s.r. provoking unrest and even armed conflict and moscow two leaders also competed against each other we held which i was the head of the soviet union the chosen by communist functionary. that was in charge of new a sovereign russia and promised reform but calling for an open election yeltsin
