deadly strings attached to america's use of unmanned drones worldwide the weapon is being seen more as the aerial serial killer tool to aid anti terror. human observer sent to the syrian town of haifa which has been gutted by a week of bloody fighting litter reports suggesting rebels scorched the area before abandoning it. as immigration remains one of the major headaches for europeans human rights group says it's the policy makers that are driven the issue to the extreme. brokaw sing live from moscow this is our take. this going to pakistan's repeated

demands for an immediate end to u.s. led drone strikes in the country reports of fresh attacks are continuing at least three people believed to be militants have been killed in the latest incident but with their identities hard to verify there are concerns that america's war drones could be causing civilian deaths in the process so called collateral damage what is going to check on reports. reports about u.s. drone strikes in pakistan come in more and more often we're getting used to hearing in the media such and such number of terrorists was killed with no way to verify really there are no names that hatched to those numbers usually but earlier this month american officials proudly announced that a drone strike in pakistan killed one of his top commanders almost two weeks later a video with the same men. levy was posted online with titles which are generally reserved for the living they're all qaeda leaders have not confirmed or denied levy's death the video could have been taped before he says that that's true so he . might as well be dead but the confusion has once again raised the question of
12:02 am
who's really dying in those bombings and how much do we actually know because it's all very murky what we do know is that the obama administration has dramatically ramped up drone strikes in pakistan around story hundred strikes since he took office it's this area bordering afghanistan which is on the fire but judging by the intensity of the u.s. strikes there one thing that only terrorists leave there that's not the case of course the long and investigative journalism says more than eight hundred civilians died in those bombings among them almost two hundred children what's interesting for a year u.s. officials are all together denied civilian deaths in drone strikes but reports on the ground told the opposite and thousands of people protesting furiously in pakistan told the opposite then that was the last straw the aerial strike which killed two dozen pakistani soldiers last year by mistake diplomatic have a follow up between the u.s. and pakistan pakistan blocked supply routes to afghanistan and they still remain
12:03 am
closed by the way a new wave of extremism has been steered by those strikes but it's also interesting u.s. officials have accused this bureau of investigative journalism which works to shed light on civilian deaths in those drone strikes of helping terrorists one might argue that this label terrorist helper is becoming an all too convenient tool for the government to brush off investigative journalism then there was this yemeni journalist who reported about the drone strike in yemen in two thousand and nine twenty one woman and fourteen children died there the journalist is now in jail reportedly at the personal request of president obama himself. there's this line of thought in washington it's all perfectly fine as long as we're fighting the bad guys the president approves the list of those bad guys by the way the kill list. on
12:04 am
secret evidence with no review but does the argument we're fighting the bad guys mean the world should keep quiet about the execution of innocent people in washington i'm going to check on. becoming a little later in the program a surprise twist in egypt's politics the constitutional court dismisses the country's parliament even a year of post mubarak political struggles dead in the water. very quickly could. find himself in a swedish jail by the end of june after british judges refused to reopen his extradition case. after eight days of vicious combat against armed rebels syrian government forces are finally open the town of half or two un observers and with memories of massacres still strong looking for the telltale signs of slaughter will be running their agenda so far they found a vast amount of abandoned weapons and destruction and almost all government buildings looted and burned the town also appears to be deserted suspicion that
12:05 am
bodies have either been buried or removed before u.n. observers arrived parallels already being drawn with past massacres is growing doubt of the government's culpability and reports also implicating rebel forces david gibbs history professor at the university of arizona says western media spin as left its mark on the conflict. it was a general point in these types of conflicts the propaganda aspect is critically important and there's an effort in the west for the rebels in a kind of purely positive light and syrian regime in a purely negative light and you know get the facts on the ground very hard to ascertain the houla massacre did for a long time for a while look like it was clearly done by the government but there was a report in the german process for particularly the front for. indicate that there are some indications that might have been some element of the rebels that might have committed at least part of the massacre the german report with regard to cool
12:06 am
underscores the fact that it's very difficult to get at the truth in these types of conflicts where you know both sides are trying to use propaganda and spin to advance their positions and so this is being presented as is typically the case in these types of conflicts as a good versus evil conflict with all the blame on one side even if the reality is more complicated. and foreign meddling in the serious conflict is echoed in the wars of recent dates decades so today's crosstalk. if it hadn't been for the outside interference the arming of the opposition the proof motion of civil war by the united states britain france and their clients in the region this would not have evolved at this point it was it inevitable that there would be a sectarian conflict as joshua seems to seems to ponder there i think the united states and britain and france are on a regime change path they recognize the vulnerabilities in different societies if they're if they're divided based on religion or ethno sectarian divide those

hungary. in our street girls a report of an l.s.d. and insulted by gangs of the. leader of the new solidarity alternative or any say group in goal jim was convicted on charges of racism he denies being racist that says he's against immigration because belgium can no longer cope with the economic and social demands of mass immigration and that's the fault of the. democracy democracy in whole in all the west to its economic but nothing to do with race is more extreme right or extreme arrest or whatever the bad whether it has to do with . such is the argument that has gained traction in crisis hit europe with soaring unemployment recent elections in france and greece showed a big gains for the far right and immigrants say they've increasingly been on the receiving end of prejudice in many forms. in all of europe a woman with
