well back here our with our t. 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 fuehrer by calling for more attacks on american diplomats. the u.k. prison system comes under fire as a record number of inmates died last year amid criticism that many deaths could have been prevented. china's anger grows over japan's purchase of disputed islands as japanese media reports that an armada of
4:31 am
a thousand chinese fishing boats and several patrol ships are to had towards the territory in question. that's the headlines on manned 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'll speak with carol grayson a human rights activist who is traveling to pakistan to continue her fight against the 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 she is a human rights activist and campaigner who's about to go to a star on northwestern pakistan which is one of the most volatile and dangerous
4:32 am
places on earth to continue her battle against drones carol thank you for coming to 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 i've been overwhelmed by the messages of support you know some really looking forward to going and i'm not afraid at all what effect is 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 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 engineer. and she's lost a whole family can even trace her family. i mean i was talking to a man who was telling me about his young brother who is nine years old who'd he'd
4:33 am
been harmed in a drone strike and he said that his brother was seriously disturbed enough after 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 to 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're being 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're being targeted all of the time they're barmer ministration defense these drains in part because they reduce the risk to u.s.
4:34 am
soldiers of course people don't have to go in on the ground they make it easier to engage in this sporadic warfare over long distances is that is that a good defense in your opinion no because the people they're targeting are alleged insurgents and i clarified that alleged now i was brought up to believe you know that somebody was innocent until proven guilty these are people that 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 have been killed but these are the people that the americans don't tell you about and then they actually class these people over. it's completely the completely distance from the damaged. they also say the americans are holding themselves to rigorous standards and a process of review have you seen evidence of that no and this so secretive that when we ask them questions about the process you know we get very little from them
4:35 am
. 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're breaching sovereignty they're going into the new this stage and they're killing innocent people and they must be held to account for that do you think on the part of the us 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 the people. i mean they say they're looking for peaceful solutions i've not seen one person from from the american administration. ask is anything about peace small or even champion a peace march i mean i really feel at the moment that america is actually agitating
4:36 am
to create a full scale civil war in pakistan is this being done with the greenman to the 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 although publicly saying it you know it condemns drone strikes at the same time it's in a sense it's bribery from from the us because. i assume this 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 is. first time so historic because basically human rights activists journalists lawyers 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
4:37 am
thousand people and we'll be following imran khan and we're going to interview 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 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 is this peace march so bringing people from other countries showing the press another side of serious stand because
4:38 am
it is also very positive side the people are very warm very welcoming. sharing 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 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 will 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
4:39 am
possible by wiki leaks and its release of thirty seven apache helicopter killing and 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 assad at the moment. quite disgusted at the way julian has been treated and i'm sure a lot of that is because of what he was released after the close contact with wiki leaks are fully support the organization i think that any campaign that speaks out on controversial issues is a high tall good. target for. discrediting not person. i mean i understand the swedish government given over options of how to do with the situation but i think there's a big effort to to basically get julian extradited to america and i believe this is
4:40 am
very strongly related to what he's been doing in terms of releasing the cables you 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 clot under support 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. i was in it was used in n.h.s. hospitals as 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
4:41 am
a horrific death and i had this very long fight against the state and basically 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 what basically i came into contact with an investigative journalist in pakistan called saline shazad 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 felt an empathy because i knew what it was like to try and take on a 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
4:42 am
it was really important to stand in solidarity and go out there and just just you 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. if you can snatch some nuts from the forest squirrels. when getting to the top is too much to fight full. back to basics on the. mission and free cretaceous and free zones for chargers free. range from and

4:44 am
scream stunts on t.v. dot com. like millions of americans i've lost thousands of dollars in retirement funds and i haven't had a bad as many it's not just about them it's about me to. me man brad. it's. needed. now. since this is my film i get the last word this financial crisis will not be like a light switch. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something
4:45 am
else here's part of it and realize that everything you. are welcome to the big picture. began to send pakistan are among the latest epicenters of anger down see us while extremists try to capitalize on muslim viewers by calling for more attacks on american diplomats. the u.k. for is a system comes under fire as a record number of inmates died last year amid criticism that many deaths could have been prevented. china's anger grows over japan's purchase of disputed islands as japanese media reports that at our model of a thousand chinese fishing boats and several patrol ships are did head towards the territory in question. also the headlines here on our t.v. and there were a few surprises and european football last night for the details we got under
4:46 am
farmer. welcome to the weather russian football champions. i've been there licking their wounds coming up a shocking start big spendings any to thrash three a why malaga and opening group game of the champions league last week and when you know i am ready says that red and white can upset barcelona at the nou camp tonight and welcome back to go through for russia ice hockey star. as the n.h.l. lockout starts to bite. but first any coach which honest that he says he takes full responsibility for his side's shock three nil defeat to malaga in the champions league last night the russian club spent over one hundred million dollars on new signings hold an actual event so earlier this month although the latter wasn't playing hold it was all goes anywhere to kneel down in the first thirteen minutes
4:47 am
in spain disco and have yourself finding the net and the second to make it three nil towards the end of the game. well in the other match in group c. man against anderlecht finished goalless and that means their needs are some of their group elsewhere christiane arnaldo hit a last minute we need to give real madrid a three two victory over manchester city at the bernabeu the result putting reale top of the group after dortmund beat i-x. by a single go however despite the win reality coach chosen marino still had a swipe at his place for their current poor form in the league. real madrid can lose matches locomotor wrong with. me looked like. real madrid. much as like the match soon. interviewer i think that the first half we didn't play well.
4:48 am
and second after we played where we scored two was going to want. to pay more attention you can't concede. only because you're too deep. we should be. a time when a sports i want to grab incur a share while wealthy party sanjay man. for one in the french capital star signings last anybody him and he i still thought about scoring. a performance like tonight he's good for our strong people. really happy for this. obviously parties are 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
4:49 am
successful but i would say that it's on the set pieces they scored the first three goals. now in group b. arsenal came from behind to beat french champions montpellier eighty one moroccan midfielder. put one telly ahead from the spot the two go within three minutes from lukas podolski and eugenio arsenal picturing take on his top the great german side who got a two one win themselves over in p.r. costing grace. tonight spot at moscow have the daunting task of taking on barcelona in spain red and white spanish you know emery knows it will be difficult the form of a land sea and nearly a coach has never been in twelve attempts but he is optimistic that could change this evening. we've 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 in the group and we will not waste any opportunity to achieve that also supports morally start in what is possibly the most difficult stadium of this fourteen group
4:50 am
that comprises six games but our mentality is to win against barcelona. while spock's form has been erratic in the russian prime league barcelona go into the match in a rich vein of form their top of a leader after winning all four of their games so far although wary of the russian faith and their manager. some reason a lot of you got more as a coach mary's brief and 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 a new team and he has known the players that long the champions league you don't usually know your opponents very well but this isn't the case with so the surprise factor doesn't count for this part of the game. meanwhile chelsea star. the defense of their title with a home tie against ventus the blues are currently top of the english premier league while their opponents are on an incredible forty two game unbeaten run in city and chelsea boss there but it imitates as you say one of the best sides in the
4:51 am
competition. and. quality within that experience. is. probably one of the most difficult pictures you could have picked will draw in the district of the. wall at old trafford manchester united host turkish side got a task group. could be fit for united after recovering from my mind and striker percy is set to make his champions league debut for the red devils united have lifted europe's top club trophy three times but were eliminated at the group stage last season and manager sir alex ferguson has vowed to field a strong side to prevent an early shock. you don't want to be as clear as you are once you. think.
4:52 am
