criticised the killing civilians in drone strikes targeting pakistani militants and u.s. president barack obama might now see these doubts go unnoticed with the mixing of words. also that sound known stop fighting in syria as government sources advance on rebel controlled areas near the capital and in the country's largest city of aleppo while washington applauds the opposition's gains and promises to increase support. and european call makers have a difficult road ahead as sales plummeted across the continent leading to thousands of painful layoffs. you saw russia under around the world this is the with me thanks for joining it's

fun to stay u.s. led drone strikes have killed more than one hundred fifty supposed militants in pakistan so far this year and zero civilians that's from a recent new america foundation poll however critics say the obama administration is blurring the line between civilian and thrash with its definition of minutes and washington correspondent and their chicken explains. if you believe this chart as seen on c.n.n. american drone strikes in pakistan have been so precise that they haven't killed a single innocent person this year the chart shows last year the strikes targeted four hundred thirty one militants and killed only twenty six quote unquote others meaning civilians the data was compiled by the new america foundation now how did this foundation come up with the numbers which local pretty much like advertising for drones they link press reports when you actually look at the report it reports almost half of them are attributed to some unnamed. telegin sofa scholz will give

the number of who they refer to as militants and a few more details for example the a.f.p. agency report about a strike in north waziristan earlier this month says quote it was difficult to identify the bodies immediately as some of them were charred end of quote but this survey which was broadcast on c.n.n. doesn't have to go deep into details as to who was identified as who nor does it have to clarify the definition of the word militant in this context as seen by the obama administration and according to the obama administration all military age males in a strike zone count as combatants unless there is explicit intelligence possed humorously proving them innocent so someone has to prove their innocence after they're dead president obama lawyer by background personally approves the kill list now how does the administration get away with this take no prisoners policy double speak is one of the ways illegally executing people is fine as long as you call them militants as pointed out by the london based bureau for investigative

journalism it's very hard to reveal exact numbers they put the total of civilian civilians killed in drone strikes in pakistan at around eight hundred whereas if you believe the new america foundation chart it's half of that analysts say the reports by pakistani officials are not always reliable because of their dubious position on the one hand the cast of glee allowed the drone strikes on the other hand they condemned them the public to publicly condemn them arguably to resonate more with the sentiments of the population in pakistan that is furious with u.s. actions population that sees a different chart not the success graphics cast on c.n.n. and the question they ask is how much killing will be enough in washington i'm going to come. here will. still ahead of us police. as for texas take over several cities demanding offices. to be held accountable

after a pair are not on demand are shot and killed by heavy handed or story she's. not georgia is held by many outsiders as one of the world's best again in democracies but we hear from those on the inside would tell a very different story. syrian government troops seem to have regained the upper hand in fighting rebel forces in and around the country's two major cities fierce clashes are taking place now close to damascus as the army advances on a city captured by the rebels during their offensive on the capital last week at the same time all government troops are moving towards the country's largest city of aleppo where fighting has been intensifying for several days now claiming dozens of lives sources say they are solidifying their control of the commercial hub such reports contradict hillary clinton who earlier hailed as the gains made by the opposition in a statement where the u.s. secretary of state also said washington stepping up its support for the rebels all

this comes as international pressure on their side regime ounce of its chemical weapons despite the government's assurances they will never be used in the internal conflict and william f. and doll the author of myths lies and all was says all allegations the weapons have already been used over who will be in the future of this single purpose of paving the way for him to branch. this is virtually unlikely that this happened because it would be madness to use chemical weapons inside closed urban areas you get to your supporters as well as as these al-qaeda mercenaries and in the same these are not precise weapons these are for huge battlefield conditions if it it that that this is deja vu all over again i smell a rerun of the old the pentagon scenario that dick cheney and friends ran to justify the war in iraq with the niger yellowcake and now they're trying to do that with the weapon of mass destruction chemical warfare weapons of whatnot with syria

to create this climate that this is the most pressing thing on the face of the earth and this is simply not the case. and one of our news crews is in syria keeping you updated on the situation there toytown so correspondent that son of boy good to see how people in the capital damascus are trying to live and what they say about that seventeen month long conflict. and also the situation in syria and whether it's now at a tipping point is the focus of today's cross-talk coming up later on and here's a quick look at what's ahead. syria threatens no one syria is a nonbelligerent country what's going on is not an uprising it's not a revolution it's not a civil war the i.c.r.c. was paid eight million dollars by washington to lie to lie

is if your lie change international law or is it ever worked out very well now there's a level of incompetence and lack of foresight in washington that's actually reflecting very badly on this on the ground so you talk about how they exited from here are clearing the country in a complete shambles and not taking responsibility for the way they did before and inviting iran and syria to come into iraq and allow the new cabinet to be formed and all that kind of thing only for them a year later to sort of turn against syria and suddenly becomes the pariah states there's no sense of consistency and.

were shot four times or. three of the boys are still. people should be allowed to defend themselves or they own guns in the hands of law abiding decent people are not a problem national rifle association. or group of basically retired military police love to shoot holes in i'm sorry if you know that the bullet comes out here and this makes it go bang and what's in front of here is going to die that's all the training you really really need raise your hand if you know something's been. ok but to live with one of the philadelphia horns over streets. until about a hopefully we will never have to use the weapons for self defense but we should be prepared for the full class including the teacher as a. seventeen students. or seven

or still. if they shoot something inappropriate for public they can easily be shot by. casualties of war ok. i wish they would have never happened but it has. been a war a t.v. camera becomes an unnecessary what destroys their own safety all foreign nationals including journalists and inspectors should leave. and it's clear what happens with such witnesses i got on my site. ready to protect people. shooting merciless shooting on our.

welcome back the crisis driving car makers a ride on the road when it comes to sales across here and it's resulting in major job cuts now the continent's second biggest manufacturer under symbol of french industry has showed is planning to close a huge plant in a suburb of paris and also forced thousands more to walk. reports now on the continuing pain being inflicted on erupt in. anger among workers eight thousand jobs across france will be slashed by their employer p.s.a. visual situation more than three thousand in this plant alone a blow to the new president's pledge of creating new jobs and to france is once a thriving industry but trigger has been working for the company for eighteen years at the end of last month he lost his job at another peugeot site that was closed down and was transferred to this factory as luck would have it he's about to get

fired a second time and he showed us what exactly this would mean for him. after the close the other five g. i had no choice but to move to get closer to the only site where they had moved me otherwise it would have been unemployed the just as i arrived here i hadn't even finished painting the flood just as my wife came here the names thing you told her i just don't know what to do you know but workers say it's not just the economic crisis that's hurt them it's also politics specifically sanctions against iran. the iranian market is huge it's the second market after france four hundred fifty thousand cars sold in two thousand and eleven so it's fifteen percent of the sales so it's a lot of money lost so if the government can intervene on a commercial level you can intervene at the social level to be firing the workers of this plant say that they have no other choice but to keep on fighting but they're not oblivious to the fact that a whole generation. of older workers who had seen a france's industrial boom are now starting to see

a change in their economy and the so-called lost generation of young people many of whom are without problems and they're all seeing a change in want to begin before they are we getting out more on their own it's out of the closet capitalist system of riches the myth my generation we've been studying for years. myself. a master's degree and i cannot find a job of course i cannot buy a house or buy a new car or if i want to do it i have to go to the bank and i get a credit so that means i will be presumed with was a loan this car dealer says the number of young first time car buyers has indeed gone down staggering youth unemployment adding injury to an already bleak future for europe's carmakers and be it generations of workers or their generation or similar vision you might see them the next we will start a new battle with p.s.e.

group because what's happening is a normal i think. france neither a new revolution we're working on it does or sylvia r.t. paris so the french president francois hollande a tox a pleasure as a lay off strategy as an acceptable as he struggles to fulfill his election promise of growth and also put this and his other pledges to the test as i spoke to an advertising group and a former advisor to francois mitterrand the last socialist president of france before long so the full interview is coming up later this hour. you know communication is a weapon a slogan is a dum-dum bullet that should be like that but in france well promises growth by someone made the same mistake nicholas sarkozy did with alone does not control growth only the european economy can affect the way for me it's a promise that risks disappointing the french people the more he would have a state of grace to sit. you know there's no revival of economic growth which no

one really sees coming he will lose his credibility i like not always prefer the psychological slogans over political slogans or president purchasing power as you know the president for a promise is that they were handed on external rather than oneself. and angry crowd of hundreds have clashed with police over the killing of a protester in southern dollars it comes after police brutality claims the lives of two demonstrators are with a weekend off he's around one going to brings us the story. city of bad homes of the happiest place on earth but today activists are calling this city a powder keg which is ready to explode following those two deadly officer involved shootings over the weekend now this all started on saturday when. an armed latino man was shot and killed by police officers but there was

women and the video which has been shown even on mainstream media outlets clearly shows that police were shooting indiscriminately with those pepper balls now we are also getting reports that there will be increased patrols not just here in city hall but in in those neighborhoods where the shootings have been so a lot of people in this community believe that the increased police presence is only going to heighten tensions between police officers and the community. in one one of the stories at home and also that pools on the mind who want to get at chen and behind bars have not been working to cave to the. a song out of the us after the wiki leaks seeks help from the told the judge while he remains holed up inside the ecuadorian embassy in london. and also find out why santa claus has already been coming to the city of kompany hagen but this father christmas feast is no one would go and play all the details online for you.

praised for preaching freedom and reform the georgian leadership has cost as the fledgling democracy a success story both by the western media and by the state channels at home however some journalists working in the country see a very different picture as the ring i'm going to found out. that's exactly what we're seeing in my culture the world in my part of the world you know you are leverage that you know energy by giving people more freedom freedom is the key word find words from the georgian president some western officials like hillary clinton continuously praise me truly for his supposed program of reform but journalists in the country are less impressed and say talk of freedom doesn't extend to the media made it tonight that were being a journalist is now a dangerous profession in georgia there's always a risk of being accused of being a spy journalist get beaten up frequently all of this is happening in front of the

entire country. the chances are that most people in georgia won't find out about these cases from their evening news according to the latest polls more than eighty percent of georgians depend on t.v. as their main source of information yet georgians only have free access to three channels all of them controlled by the state one way or the other. one channel is owned by saakashvili eight another his friends relatives so all people get really is just state controlled propaganda and i think so what if georgians don't get the full scope of their country's events from the t.v. sets after all there is always the internet but still they have to understand a lot of people here still live in rural areas and for a lot of them the world wide web is simply not available readily at their fingertips independent channels like of cossey or channel nine are available only

to those who have satellite dishes and other luxury for most georgians. sometimes i have friends or relatives visiting from other parts of georgia and they watch these channels and say what is this really happening in this country we knew nothing about it but operating an independent media outlet isn't easy here journalists say their cash flow has run dry since advertisers were told by authorities to stay. from channels which may be affiliated with the opposition on top of that their every move is being closely watched by authorities here i know i constantly find myself facing over the top control from local officials i'm always being followed by some strange people who say they're from some unknown news agencies and ask me questions why do we film stories about political prisoners for example cholesterol just it's about the state officials don't feel comfortable coming to us because we ask questions they don't want to answer but state controlled media never ask those questions. president saakashvili is

a frequent guest on various american t.v. channels but he's never made an appearance on any of the opposition channels at home perhaps it's not so much the questions that he minds is the effect he censors may have in tbilisi georgia. for business was merino nice to see how the global markets recovered from the nosedive we saw at the start of the week marina. unfortunately we're seeing them and their losses now for the third day almost across the board asia of course is the only one trading right now so let's take a look at how the latest figures that there was that the nikkei is dropping almost one percent the hindsight is over a quarter of a percent we know that government bond yields are dropping to record lows a lot of call in growth in china and of course we have the disaster in europe and there are now renewed fears about greece that it will in fact the miss its targets

but let's talk about more about. m. particular because exports there for the month of june nosedive for the first time in four months the world's a third largest economy export or two point three percent less goods and services than the previous year shipments to europe the climbed by almost a quarter of all those to china by seven percent and the statistics fueled panic in japan as of course they rely. as heavily on exports for growth now moving on to the u.s. of course trading on wall street affects most major markets so this is of the closing picture from tuesday we saw that the dow and the nasdaq said over half a percent in five shares for apple would drop about five percent almost five percent after the close there and it's posting for profit and sales fell below analyst expectations and let's move on and take a look at currencies and how the euro dollar of course is trade and when it comes

to the euro it's adding against the u.s. dollar the figures for the ruble that are from tuesday it closed make suitable gains against the euro but lost to the us dollar will have updated figures into our sound when the markets open in russia but for now let's take a look at the closing picture for choose day and of course there was a sea of red everywhere so of course it was no different here but the arts yes and the my sights set over a half a percent decline in oil prices capital flight it's definitely not a good time for investors right now anywhere around the world is one thing that always has a major effect on the russian economy as oil prices and as i said they are declining and that's amid reports that stockpiles in the u.s. are rising and with satellites we have this trading at around eighty eight dollars per barrel and the brand blood is out one hundred three dollars per barrel and also we know that china's imports. twelve percent for the month of june for may and that's the biggest drop in sea years well now of course then where they. know that construction workers have kicked off in the arctic ports in the mall peninsula and

then press in the amount of money has gone into that over twenty billion dollars and that's of course from state gas producer novacek and of course our very own thoughts on that want to go for travel to the arctic to find out what's so special and so attractive about the northern sea routes. i am now walking along the shore to the passage connecting the east and the way. part of our planet the northern sea route the water here is like ten degrees now but most of the year is i've found and that's the main reason why it cannot compete with the main cargo transit route through. the main advantage of the northern syria it is that it is two times shorter than the suez canal nor is it both carriers which will become the biggest user of the routes this year says not a geisha and through the northern sea instead of the canal sure does the trip to just twenty three days compared to forty three through the canal it also saves one

thousand tonnes of fuel or more than six hundred thousand dollars vessels going through the northern ca route will avoid long queues and possible pirate attacks however one obstacle remains icebreaker and score it's. the ice breaker as course because not much more or less than the. how expensive it will be for the company will depend on whether the icebreaker accompanies just one ship or a convoy however there are no fixed rates on offer in the sector yet last year just thirty four ships use the passage nothing compared to the eighteen thousand vessels passing through the suez canal annually and this area still to hold a third of our planet's oil and gas reserves which makes the northern sea route the most efficient way to supply western europe and china with fuel team for an metals so the more the arctic ice that melts and the more gas from rosner flow of tech new cool and we all those drill here the sooner the cargo ship can take advantage of

this once frozen sea passage and become a real alternative to this well. that's how we're going to go over business are to the arctic. and this is how business looks the south will of course continue to monitor in the markets of course the asia being the only one trade and we'll see what the figures have to say next hour for another set of course more stores you can find on our website our two dot com slash of business that's a box in this area for now thank you very much indeed marina and see you next hour and down the block with a recount stories in just a few minutes. if

happens with such witnesses i got him on my site. one. many objects submitted. to nurses shooting on our. the.
