wealthy british style. that's not on the. market why not scandals. find out what's really happening to the global economy cars report on our. welcome back you're watching our team here's a look at the top stories afghanistan and pakistan are among the latest epicenters of anger against the u.s. while extremists try to capitalize on muslim purity by calling for more attacks on american diplomats in. the u.k. prison system comes under fire as a record number of inmates died last year and that criticism that many deaths could have been prevented. china's anger grows over japan's purges of disputed islands as over a thousand chinese ships including several patrol vessels are reportedly to set sail
12:31 am
towards the territory in question. on manda drone strikes have killed hundreds of innocent people in the middle east in recent years but it's more than just the u.s. behind the attacks next we speak with carol grayson a human rights activist who's traveling to pakistan to continue her fight against this lethal tactic. unmanned drones are lethal and seemingly indiscriminate increasingly used by the u.s. in pakistan as part of the so-called war on terror the pakistani authorities released a test in two thousand and nine alone drones killed seven hundred innocent civilians today i'm talking to carol grayson hughes a human rights activist and campaigner he's about to go to a start in northwestern pakistan which is one of the most volatile and dangerous places on earth to continue her battle against drones carol thank you for coming to
12:32 am
talk to us before you go tell me are you afraid i'm not afraid because i feel will be very well supported i mean often overwhelmed by the messages of support you know some really looking forward to going and i'm not afraid at all what effect does the use of drones have on the morale of people who are living in these. they've got absolutely no security every day is an uncertainty. you know their child may go to school and not come home i mean for example i've had a video sent to me from a little girl called she keira who is now in the u.s. undergoing a whole series of operations because she was burnt in a drone strike she was actually left for dead and found by an engine. and she's lost a whole family can even trace a family. i mean i was talking to a man who was telling me about his young brother who is nine years old who he'd been harmed in a drone strike and he said that his brother was seriously disturbed enough after
12:33 am
this incident and part part of the deputy from the drone had actually hit their family home and now the little boy won't even go out and play he's free to go outside his own home and of course the effect on children could have repercussions through the generations i mean do you think that that actually destroy or create more terror. well i think without doubt they radicalize people i mean when i've spoken to victims. i mean they want they want justice but because they can't get justice because their voices aren't they become very angry they don't even understand why or why they've been targeted i mean most of these people don't know very much about america they're just getting on with their day to day lives and they have no idea why they've been targeted the time their bomber ministration defense these are trained in part because they would use the rest to us soldiers of course because they have to go in on the ground they make it easier to engage in this sporadic warfare over long distances is that is that
12:34 am
a good defense in your opinion no because the people they're targeting are alleged insurgents clarify that alleged now i was brought up to believe that somebody was innocent until proven guilty these are people who have not gone through any judicial system and afterwards the americans themselves often don't know who they've hit and there's huge discrepancy over the figures. we found find out that a lot more civilians are being killed but these are the people that the americans don't tell you about and then they actually class these people over. so it's completely completely distance from the damage that. they also say the americans that are holding themselves to rigorous standards and a process of review have you seen evidence of that you know and this so secretive that when we ask them questions about the process you know we get very little from
12:35 am
them. and they're not accountable you know who are they countable to and no state should be above the law no state should be able to just go in and take out someone i mean they breaching sovereignty are going into the new the state and you know they're killing innocent people and they must be held to account for about do you think they're on the path. the u.s. the use of drones is a sign of strength or a sign of weakness i mean what does it tell us about this war on terror well i believe it's a sign of weakness i think they don't they don't understand the culture they don't understand that the people there. i mean they say they're looking for a peaceful solution i've not seen one person from from the american administration . ask has anything about the peace small or even champion a peace march i mean i really feel at the moment that america is actually agitating to create a full scale civil war in pakistan is this being done with the agreement of the
12:36 am
pakistani government i think it's a very difficult situation because basically the pakistani government is tied in to receiving aid from the u.s. and it seems that publicly saying it you know it's condemns drone strikes at the same time it's in a sense it's bribery from from the us because. the serious is the stronger talk about taking action against u.s. drones then immediately america is threatening sanctions so it's a very difficult situation and when you talk about a peace march tell us tell us what you mean well this will be the first time so be historic because basically human rights activists journalists lawyers are coming from all over the world and going into with zero stand and people haven't been into that region for many many years so this estimated we're hoping to get about one hundred thousand people. will be following imran khan and we're going to interview
12:37 am
drone victims because people don't see the impact of drones on the lives of people in the tribal areas people children suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder homes destroyed businesses destroyed what do you hope that this march will achieve i hope it will educate people and also with regard to our country. because we now have a drone program here and we're investing billions so we want to know where our drones are going we know that the strike in afghanistan we don't know much about pakistan we want the victims to be heard you know we want to find out the impact on their lives. i mean imran khan is the only politician so far that has really highlighted this. you know it's his initiative this this peace march so bringing people from other countries showing the press another side of his serious stand because there's also very positive side the people are very warm very welcoming. sharing
12:38 am
information with this far as they can. trying to give us a picture of what the situation is there we talk a lot about drone strikes by the u.s. but not really a told by the u.k. why is that. initially the drone operators from britain were going over and operating out of the u.s. recently they were relocated to a lincolnshire air base the program again is secretive there's questions being asked of our government at the moment but we don't know where you know where the drone strikes are going we don't know necessarily who's been killed and it's also some people think it's a positive to have the drone industry here in terms of it'll create jobs but creating for jobs creating jobs for sume and destroying the lives of others you've also made a film about so-called collateral damage in iraq which you acknowledge was made possible by wiki leaks and its release of furtive an apache helicopter killing and
12:39 am
wounding civilians in two thousand and seven it was bradley manning who is the soldier accused of releasing that first you said he deserves the nobel peace prize how do you feel about what's happening to julian ourselves at the moment. quite disgusted at the way julian has been treated and i'm sure a lot of that is because of water. he was released after close contact with wiki leaks or fully support the organization i think that any campaign that speaks out on controversial issues is a high talker. high tall good for. discrediting no person. i mean i understand the swedish government given over options of how to deal with the situation but i think there's a big effort to to basically get julian extradited to america and i believe this is very strongly related to what he's been doing in terms of releasing the cables you
12:40 am
had a vigorous and successful history of campaigning tell us a bit about that and how you came to take on drains as your latest cause basically my husband was born with a condition called hemophiliac where his blood doesn't clot and is part of his so-called treatment he was given blood from american prisons and i researched this area and what i found out was that prisoners were actually being injected with deadly viruses for reduction of their prison sentences because they were seen as the lowest of the low then key american pharmaceutical companies actually bought blood and exported it around the world in it was used in any hospitals treatment so my husband was infected with hiv hepatitis b. hepatitis c. and later exposed to variant c.j.d. so my my brother in law died when he was twenty died a horrific death and i had this very long fight against the state and basically
12:41 am
what i've come up with over these years is government trashing documents withholding information so you've discovered cover ups all through the system basically and then you want to draw well basically i came into contact with an investigative journalist in pakistan called celine choose. and rushing and socio political issues and one of the issues who are rushing in with drones and i realized very quickly that these people also collateral damage and i fell in empathy because i knew what it was like to try and take on the state and you know the how difficult it is to be heard and unfortunately a lot of the press very very rarely see an interview with a drone victim so there's nowhere for people to have their voice heard so i thought it was really important to stand in solidarity and go out there and just just you
12:42 am
know so we could both share experiences and learn from each other grace and good luck and thank you thank you very much thanks. there are many ways to go nuts. if you haven't got enough not to be really rich and famous. you can snatch some nuts from the forest squirrels. when getting to the top is too much to fight for. back to basics in the.

12:47 am
hold was but he and his team mates found themselves to narrow down the first thirteen minutes in spain pisco and. finding the net and he's got the second to make it three nil towards the end of the game that means an eight or bottom of the group after ac milan against and a leg finish goal is close where christiane are now and out today last minute we need to give real madrid a three two victory over manchester city that's been a bad city had taken the lead through jacko and even though marcello equalized the visitors were to want to head with five minutes left when alexander koloff scored but a late goal from cutting benzema and dramatic winner from rinaldo see all the points the result putting reale top of the great after dortmund be by acts by a single goal however despite the wind real coach josie marino still had a swipe at his plays for their current poor form in the domestic they. can lose matches like. we all know that it can lose matches fighting like animals
12:48 am
to the list i mean it's like like the real madrid cannot lose matches like the match and get tough it. is like the match in interview we are disappointed from losing because i said before you can lose. because when you meet that can happen these and. i think that in the first half we didn't play well. and second half we played where we scored two was going to want to see you are. to pay more attention you can't concede. a goal only because you go too deep. you should be. when a supporter i want. to incur. big spending power crashed in on the careful one in the french capital last time he him rich silva scored on the not.
12:49 am
broad group of. performers like his group called people full of. really happy for this. obviously. a very good team and it's true today they are probably the best team against which we could play it is true that we did not sure are capable of his not being very successful but i would say that it's on the set pieces they scored the first three goals. now in group a are still came from behind to beat french champions montpellier two one broken midfielder. ahead from the spot but to go within three minutes but also. gave arsenal victory to gunners top of the great then after the german side charkha with jim in charge side shall he got a two one win over him p.r. cost grace. tonight spot at moscow have the daunting task of taking on barcelona in
12:50 am
spain red and whites manager. knows it will be difficult the form of a lengthy and coach has never been in twelve attempts but is optimistic that could change tonight then he. will come with an idea that is to win we know that barcelona are the favorite team in the group but we also want to make our own way into the room and we will not waste any opportunity to achieve that also supports morrow we start in what is possibly the most difficult stadium of this fourteen group that comprises six games couple matter mentality is to win against barcelona. i'm all sparks form has been erratic in the russian premier league barcelona go into the match in a rich vein of form they are top of after winning all four of their games so far although passer are wary of the russian outfit and their manager. some. of you got more as a coach pray for him has always put us under pressure i think you'll do the same with spartak as you did when he coached the land so this is
12:51 am
