12:13 am
doubts whether it will have any effect anyway. and you would treaties. was regulated that there must be any bailout because. otherwise. you will. ruin the. finances of those countries who are contributing to reach and as long as. each country is responsible for its purchase. it's to take responsibility and the only right answer to that is no but we decided to say ok we have to work at it. and then. it's hard to explain to people when you get the reports from. greece or so. every working. people.
12:14 am
that's what we did you for. and watch the full interview with german m.p. peter welsh in just fifteen minutes time here on our. the cia is reportedly building a secret air base in the persian gulf to target al qaida terrorists in yemen the plan is man's a strong. it's america's military presence there was the u.s. saying it's concerned militants makes boyd the current unrest in the country to seize power by reports introducing cia spooks will move the operation into the legal shadows. the decision to pass the cia with tracing. marks a major escalation of america's covert war in yemen which is not really covert it's one of the on an undeclared wars that the u.s. is waging against terror but up to this day in yemen it's been the u.s. military that was running the show that was carrying out the drone strikes so if in
12:15 am
cooperation with the yemeni counterterrorism units but now get that power vacuum and all the political turmoil in yemen the cooperation is falling apart and according to u.s. officials because the cia operates under different legal authorities than the military the cia will have quote greater latitude to carry out strikes no matter what the political climate they are greater latitude in other words they don't have to ask anybody's permission to bomb the country the yemeni leader who is now out of the country after months of violent popular revolt against him and his government for many years had been supported by the u.s. in exchange for letting americans love their own yemen as we could leaks of cable shows often taking credit for the u.s. drone strikes we have to remember that scores of civilians were killed in those strikes so the support of the yemeni authorities was much needed for the u.s. should carry on with the operations on the other hand the government those alley abu. salim who had been in power for some thirty years so unpopular in recent years
12:16 am
among the people of yemen that many analysts say he was only due to the u.s. support that sally had stayed in power for so long so for years sally needed the u.s. and the u.s. needed solly but now with the political turmoil there the u.s. shows they will continue to bomb yemen whether or not they have the commission to do so from actually. people of the country pakistan is one example of popular revolt against the cia drone strikes the hours of civilians were killed by the u.s. drone drone attacks and no one was held responsible for that even though the pakistani parliament is demanded to stop the strikes the country's leadership continues to allow the americans to carry out the operations although the pakistani leadership criticizes the killing of civilians but they do little to stop it many analysts say their support for the bombings will continue as long as they continue to receive billions of dollars for the washington people there are furious in one
12:17 am
year the u.s. u.s. drone drones killed seven hundred civilians in pakistan but the netted only five actual militant leaders numbers that some experts are giving or gruesome form achieve counterinsurgency strategist with the u.s. state department has estimated that drone attacks kill fifty nine targeted persons for each intended target nonetheless we now see the rapid expansion of the c.i. a broader war. then it's kind of pouring down now you can also catch up was the stories we're covering online or to dot com there's plenty for you to explore the cycle of money never sleeps u.s. auditors look into the disappearance of more than six billion dollars man for iraq where the cash now i can't afford. and sauna diplomacy finished diplomats are awarded the prize for promoting sana culture abroad and helping forge international relations find out more. time syrian authorities are being

12:19 am
simple fact that is there are many un resolutions for the middle east and they've always been ignored when they apply to israel so i'm also you know people say well yes today it will be this resolution but it won't have any impact tomorrow they'll strengthen it on the day after that will be even stronger and so you've got an incremental move towards some kind of military intervention so people i think are very very suspicious of the reasoning behind the resolution if it falls in the same way as it did in iraq. that is foreign intervention of the story in a country that you can see plunging into it into a kind of civil war that was torn up in the u.s. would like to see. unity to be able to kind of. weaken the regime. look at some other stories from around the world nato warplanes bombed tripoli overnight as you know rebels move closer to the capital by forcing back broken off the troops smoke and fire were seen rising from a number of areas across the city state t.v.
