with deadly strings attached to america's use of unmanned drones worldwide the weapon is being seen more as an aerial serial killer than a tool to aid anti terror or. even observers rushed the syrian town of haifa finding it shattered by a week of bloody fighting initial reports suggesting rebels scorch the area before abandoning it. a human rights group criticizes policymakers for their treatment of immigrants calling it inhumane and says the economic crisis test the standoff between native europeans and not side is to limit. the rights the markets have opened up in positive territory today when they gave the made in asia all right is germany in about twenty minutes somehow the fact is that i'm getting towel.

around the world around the clock you're watching r t m carrie johnson despite pakistan's repeated demands for the 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 hot a very for their concerns that america's war drones could be causing civilian deaths in the process so called collateral damage what is going to chicken explains . 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. was posted online with titles which are generally reserved for the living leaders have not confirmed or denied this the video could have been taped before his death that's true so he might as well be dead but the confusion has once again raised the question of 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 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 at 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 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.

we're portably 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 guy the president approves the list of those bad guys by the way the kill list on 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 out. the coming out just a little later in the program a surprise twist in egypt's politics the constitutional court dismisses the country's parliament leaving more than a year of post the political struggles there in the water. which they could do in a sounds very far themself in sweden by the end of june of the british judge has refused to reopen his extradition case all that it concerns the trial is just paving his way to the u.s. . after eight days of vicious combat against armed rebel syrian

government forces of fun in the open the town of half or two u.n. observers with memories of massacres still strong looking for the telltale signs of slaughter would be high on their agenda so far they found vast amounts of abandoned weapons and destruction the most all the government buildings looted. the town also appears to be deserted the suspicion that bodies have either been buried or removed before the universe and drive parallels are already being drawn with past massacres is going down to the government's culpability with reports also implicating the rebels david gibbs a history professor at the university of arizona says western media spin has 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 world work for rebels in a kind of purely positive light and see regime in a purely negative light and you know get the facts on the ground it's very hard to

ascertain who massacre did for a long time for a while it looked like it was clearly done by the government but there was a report in the german across from typically the from. indicate that there is some indications it might have been some element of the rebels that might have committed at least part of the massacre of the german report with the growth of who 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 the good versus evil conflict with all the blame on one side even if the reality is more complicated. but on second see and competing interests taking at the conflict people of program discusses just who and what they've got at stake in syria the show is coming up. if it hadn't been for the outside interference the arming of the opposition the promotion 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 is joshua it 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 divisions are then utilized in order to break i think i was going to. go ahead and i would not think so because. the american for entry russian plans to change the regime but it started. picking people who are protesting. there hasn't been anything yet on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact.

blocks borders according to a recent report by amnesty international and as tests are serious spain's ongoing policy fate is become a growing headache for native europeans as well. it may be called the european huge . but disparate distrust. and the swing to the extreme is becoming a little more mainstream especially when it comes to discourse on immigration and in some cases leads to outright violence from norway. to greece. to hungary. in our street girls a rate delivery molested and insulted by gangs of this every year in the leader of the new solidarity alternative or and they say group in gold was convicted on charges of racism he denies being racist it says he's against immigration because belgium can no longer cope with the economic and social demands of mass immigration that's the fault of the. democracy democracy in whole in old west it's economics

it's nothing to do with race it's more extreme right or extreme arrest or what about 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 a veil can go into any shop and buy anything she wants but a veiled woman cannot work in this shop but what is in the report is the discrimination and racism in the everyday life that people are facing because they don't trip or because they don't trust the police so every time you get into that on the street or issue on the same woman that you have scoffed it's taken out of you have all whatever the report simply a two thousand and ten report by the european network against racism and discrimination found that racially discriminatory practices are widespread

institutional in nature and practiced at all levels of society across europe in two thousand and eight the european commission proposed a directive that would ban discrimination on the grounds of age disability religion or belief and sexual orientation in all areas including social protection out of that. just as well us access to goods and services now the current law only applies to the workplace but it's been four years and the directive is stuck largely because some member states are blocking it arguing that implementation would be too costly this activists say is one of the many failures of policy makers and while immigrants are blamed by politicians on the right for failure to integrate others say it's the authorities which have not done enough. it was afraid in policy in the policy to the moment i never knew that if there is a policy it's not the follow through far as i know of those who make the policy

precedents for countries like finland and germany to say well we may actually if you don't get ours this in more so than they would have them are kind of us read. to push other countries to do the necessary stuff so it's very open how this all ends but i fear that in in the end these. two political pressure and start running the printing press. what goes around comes around there's a europe of desperately six a financial stimulus and they feel another blow this time coming from iran the country's oil minister has warned that oil sanctions will be a tough burden for the blocs economy that's ahead of major international talks over iran's nuclear activities which according to the country's top diplomats are entirely peaceful. that firstly we are strongly against weapons of mass destruction but today the republic of iran the capacity to use to cooperate in disarmament in

nuclear nonproliferation so these get better should be used by the international community there and secondly means that we expect that the wrongs right of nuclear technologies including uranium enrichment as we recognize and respect to this is something that is clearly defined by the nuclear nonproliferation treaty and i think that addressing these two issues will help to advance negotiation is. what a full interview is coming your way in about ten minutes time here in arctic. now look at some other international headlines for you. argentina's president has appeared at the colonization committee arguing that falkland islands should not be under british rule it coincided with the thirtieth anniversary of the war with britain over the territory which claimed more than one hundred dives decades on the ownership dispute has not died down in art and is will hold

a referendum next year to decide the future. claims of british elite occupied the falklands which is the mount venus almost two hundred years ago according to experts the dispute is fueled by the lucrative oil reserves found off the coast of the audience. tens of thousands have been displaced and twenty nine people killed after clashes between muslim and buddhists in ruben's mineral more than two thousand homes have been burnt and many people are being housed in temporary camps neighboring bangladesh is guarding its a border to stop more refugees fleeing their violence was sparked out of a policewoman which led to almost a dozen muslims being beaten to death. but the natives are continuing their forty six day march towards the palace in protest at new plans to build a highway through a nature reserve they say the project would destroy their homeland with the country's president of naral is missing

a public vote on the matter open to walk over five hundred kilometers of similar march last year yet to be original plans for the road being scrapped. well trust is easy to lose and harder to pass what russia's cardiologists experienced first hand but their patients looking over the border when it came to treatment for serious heart disease this may soon change but artie's ridiculous criticism. home is where the hardest but for many russians their country is no where the chance to get their medical care especially those with heart problems is many is just saying thousand russians are here just to go abroad to get treatment because they say health care at home leaves much to be desired for the country's leading cardiologists it's a great concern that only. we have thousands of cases which can be very successfully treated here at home i say with all responsibility ninety percent of all treatment is done abroad can be done here. but many remain unconvinced even

though centers like most goes back when events to toot have perfected some of the most complicated procedures which can give the old or young taker and new life dr busier she believes the country's recent past is partly to blame that's of course that after the break up of the u.s.s.r. the state had to be created in you and in the process the situation with medicine was led to go to the point where people have unfortunately lost the trust in russian health care to me it's not so for two time hard bypass survivor italia me knife the former diplomat underwent extensive treatment both abroad and at the buckley of center most of. our health care is far stronger and kinder than westerns especially now when many medical centers have dicked ology were used to seeing in the west i think it's most importantly our doctors have so sort of know this that

along with well trained hands is something which allows russian doctors to save lives daily with operations on heard of just a few years ago such as replacing the human heart valve with one from a calf. and holding a famous pathy says of an ear to evolve from the cardiac psych of a cuff we purchase hearts from meat packers bring them here isolate the necessary tissues give them the necessary treatment the treatment methods are protected by a patents and then we saw evolve from this tissue that can fully replace the damaged human shields. thousands of such procedures have already been deformed at the center on patients as young as just a few weeks old to those whose lives are in full bloom twenty four year old not tyler who suffered from inherited terry heart condition it's just the feeling right now is that i understand and feel like a completely healthy person. a person is feeling of inner health achieved without hitting outside russia's borders in moscow it even goes to r.t.

see the asian stocks and see how they get on now the nikkei was under pressure and that's because the bank of japan just started not to inforce stimulus stopped the interest rates they've kept. a lot of investors were hoping that they would change them in order to boost growth ahead of the election and amidst all the european crisis that we're suffering from at the moment as well as u.s. and china growth dropping but as you can see it's not a c. guy just a modest one basis points behind saying that one point six percent are in positive territory please see the u.s. and see how wall street closed up yesterday again today we've got the federal reserve talk of them forcing some stimulus to also want to mention the fact that the u.s. stock futures are pointing to the north side so they are indeed pointing upwards i guess that it joins a one point two percent up the six tenths of a percent oil was a big news event yesterday because opec had a meeting to talk about their oil production and for the rest of the year and they

did decide as expected to keep it. as a result we've got your prices getting ever such a fraction the light sweet that eighty four dollars per barrel the brands ninety seven ninety seven all right then again keeping track carrie ok thanks look pretty . well. twenty twelve year old competition in football after being crushed by world champions spain. coming up later this hour but first settlers.
