what they're trying to do in brussels to me is not saving greece but they're trying to do is save the euro zone which is not exactly the same now i think they're all some of them must have already made up their mind that greece is going to have to leave the eurozone but remember the e.u. so far the european commission this is not a social democratic. organization this is a neo liberal economic organization they have other priorities than the people of the e.u. than the ordinary people in ordinary working mand or people who live from a salary the only real solution is not what it is now imposing on your own solution is social democracy. and unless there advisor says eurozone leaders could now they've prepared text greece from the current season. in every possible respect greek greece is not a tragedy and it is due and the reason for that is simply because the reason no way

that they are going to be able to implement whatever austerity they're talking about this weekend against such a backlash of public opinion whatever happens there the problem for the rest of the euro zone is that not only we have to basically prepared to defend the whole integrity of the euro and actually if you read what's been said behind the behind closed doors this week of the euro zone and indeed from the summit you can see there's a spirit that you know what we may have to do three so we may even have to end up ditching portugal from the euro zone but we're we have to defend is italy and that's really going to fall on the shoulders of the technocrat mario monti and this is going to be our how to clinica bent during the course of at the latest april does the euro survive at the moment i think probably a shrunken euro it's sixty forty it can do but ultimately we're going to see swinge in recession even worse of the recession read out of we've already been receiving for the course of this week throughout the european union and that's bad for

5:21 pm
afghan google or something like this happens but he is basically a tool of the american occupation there so we can expect any real demand to change from here this kind of thing obviously doesn't win hearts and minds this happened in the same area were afghan soldiers killed french troops important i think because the u.s. is planning a pullout even movie next day for him because of our movie or two shall we can expect more airstrikes in most of the national news in afghanistan if you are a start two thousand and eleven april sixth. two thousand and ten in terms of civilian casualties i'm afraid we're going to see that trend continue in two thousand and twelve precisely because they know that they have to pull out safely because they know that again it's up. the u.s. army private bradley manning a closed of passing secret documents and evidence of war crimes to wiki leaks has

the claim. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lengthly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture.

5:31 pm
fire during the rising and looting and you're seeing live pictures from parliament what they lawmakers are debating the measures would be crucial vote expected shortly. and the wrong promises to a real major advance of the him its nuclear program which interests it's more peaceful and the ship perhaps is just by the long list of western sanctions imposed against it. and up next hour she talks to pakistan's foreign minister who explains why she things that u.s. drone strikes in her country only making things worse instead of helping fight insurgency. she's the youngest foreign minister in the world that has to deal with some of the toughest security challenges he not rabani khar pakistan's foreign minister is joining us now on r.t. thank you very much for your time minister it's been more than ten years since pakistan joined the u.s. military operations in afghanistan do you think that was the right thing to do you
5:32 pm
see if. you would you know things look very different but of course. the collaboration that pakistan has had in the last ten years pakistan has bit of a heavy price for that but it is also a fact that pakistan inhibits the region inhabits the region and will continue to have the street and and this region has some serious problems the region has some serious problems put into terrorism and pakistan has always maintained that it is important to have collaborative joint efforts to be able to rid the streets and rather than follow sort of unitary approaches or solo flights in how we want to rid the streets and you mentioned. the price of your involvement in afghanistan has been pretty high many thousand of your citizens lost their lives millions of people have been replaced there are estimates that it cost your country around seventy
5:33 pm
billion u.s. dollars but we often hear criticism about pakistan's role. but there garstin involvement in afghanistan found the american side do you think the united states treats you fairly. i would like to answer that question by seeing the. two solid robust partnership is that each able to live or operate within the bounds of what is. believed to be you know what has been agreed as far as treating fairly is concerned i think pakistan has in this particular not been treated fairly by anybody for that matter. because pakistan a country. continues to lose in terms of economic cost in terms of the social cost i think sometimes that is not emphasized on enough so we continue to lose in many many ways but some times the rule that is put on pakistan is a rule which is understandable which defies logic so to speak because if the first
5:34 pm
country to benefit from is stable understands pakistan and the first country to lose from in you know unstable understand is also pakistan so pakistan stick a very high and that is what is commonly believed that yes pakistan sticks are very high but pakistan sticks are very high in having stability in that one is to not instability in the understand so we have maintained and we stated very clearly that it is really for the one people to determine what course of action they want to take in any way possible whether they want to have strategic alliance with country a country b. it's a sovereign country we must respect them as that but pakistan's rule in any way can only be there to support of i think saying that pakistan is cause of the problem and is creating trouble is an imaginary solution it is an imaginary blame it is an imaginary looking for an answer but the real solutions to real problems have to be faced you know on the ground now as we all know that the united states has been
5:35 pm
taking on a lead role in this military operation. why do you think with all its military power and the resources that are invested into this campaign why anything. the results are not that impressive as a few i think i'm not the right person to answer that question it should be somebody from the us administration i want to question to be right i don't think it is important with the us is succeeding or is winning in the understand not what is important is whether of one the stand is winning one not because the goal of the u.s. and pakistan and the region and all the forty eight countries with operation of understand is to make of understand when if i may come back to the issue of american criticism for just one question president obama said in a number of occasions that one of the reasons why the united states is using drones to file for your territory and to hit targets on your territory is because the pakistani authorities are largely are not in control of their own land and my
5:36 pm
question is. why pakistan tolerating the use of military technology that are hitting targets on pakistani land that ultimately oftentimes lead to the. loss of life among the pakistani citizens this is one of the major problems that keeps us from achieving our successes in our view. not only completely illegal and awful and have north resolution to be used within the domains of international law but even more importantly they are counterproductive to your objective of getting this region rid of militancy. and extremism because if one strike leads to getting a new target number one or target number three today you're creating five more targets or ten more targets in the militancy that it breeds in the for doing that it gets to the militants to attract more people to join the ranks we are today in
5:37 pm
pakistan suffering from the consequences of what you know many other problems of the world decided to do in that region to rid itself of the. a challenge that appeared in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine which was the mission of one star now in trying to deal with we have created certain groups which are today. a challenge to everybody so again do we want to repeat the mistakes again clearly pakistan doesn't think so and pakistan has categorically said that it is illegal under full counterproductive other any than ears in your view reasonable values that pakistan could take in case of drone attacks beyond forcing its concern or a distraction my question to you is it just an issue of some countries allowing. greater freedom and greater perth's far off foreign policy tools than others that
5:38 pm
would be a very unfair world and i hope that's not a world that we are moving towards and therefore the questions of illegality and under full tools is extremely important one. is absolutely no compromise in pakistan if you look at as i've said i think this is partially one of the major reasons which is responsible for where we are today and pakistan as a country. considers itself to be a sovereign country to continue to be an independent country has therefore decided . to hold terms of engagement because to us it is very clear that this is not part of the terms of engagement now if that clarity is required elsewhere i guess the parliament will be in its right to be able to define it but please mr approach the approach that we taking is not that of a confrontation the proved to be taking is that for doing the partnership which is which is based on mutual respect and based on mutual interest just last week.
5:39 pm
and her report was leaked to the media that pakistani security forces and maintaining contacts with. terrorism and extremist organizations that are operating in afghanistan as far as i understand there was ever an. allegation that they're supporting them financially. is this true first of all this is not a new to report we were told by need to at least that this is a. single person not in the report but is single country and a single person pretty much. all the bottle because this is not an accusation or allegation that has been made in part with the specific content that the mentor with the taliban of all turn into little insurgency is i think every intelligence agency in the world particularly the ones which are working in the one cement in with one group or the other and all of them at some level. and this does are now pretty much out in the open because people are openly talking about talking to this
5:40 pm
but i think just creating you know this is something which is not even worth a comment quite frankly the united states is expected to withdraw its troops from afghanistan and a matter of a few years is pakistan looking forward to that event but you see again the game here with some goals and objectives we would hope that most of those goals and objectives are met or at least partially met and we would hope that when they leave in the understand of one son is a better place than when they first came but the long term presence of foreign troops in the region is always always counterproductive yes but we would also be very very mindful of what is the situation on the ground when they leave because instability more instability is clearly something that this region cannot afford i'd like to switch gears a little bit and ask you about iran you know the west. piling its pressure on that
5:41 pm
country which is your neighbor and long time partner. how pakistan of us born in the case of military strike against iran we would strongly. countries to desist from any option which is military because this region has already seen too much and we do not want any further destabilization we feel very strongly that these things can be settled on the negotiation table that there should be flexibility shown and that dialogue should be considered to be don't leave your forward and it would have disastrous let me go to pakistan feels it would have disastrous results for the region what about syria do support the military intervention against a side regime we support no military intervention against in the region because we feel that independent sovereign the details are told integrity of the country are important aspects and there in trying to many many places now what we need to ensure the international community is is that violence from any side is not given
5:42 pm
lunch is not allowed to. move forward thank you very much for a time minister thank you. for the culture. this could. use of resistance. sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought
