development agency saying it was channeling money to influence rushers internal politics. plus the super rich in france threaten to pack their bags as the government considers taking seventy five percent of the earnings in tax to mend the national budget. by now here at odds here we speak to human rights activist who is fighting the lethal unmanned drone strikes ongoing in pakistan. 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 start in northwestern
8:32 am
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 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 does the use of drones have on the morale of people who are living in the us. 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 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
8:33 am
been harmed in a drone strike and he said that is proof it was seriously disturbed enough after this incident and part part of the debris from the drone that 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. more terrorists oh 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'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 the time their partner ministration defense these drains in part because they would use the rest to us soldiers of course people
8:34 am
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 clarify that alleged now i was brought up to believe 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 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
8:35 am
that when we ask them questions about the process you know we get very little from them. and they're not accountable you know who they had 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 going into this state and you know they're killing innocent people and they must be held to account for about. do you think that on the part of 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 the people. i mean this 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
8:36 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's 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 will be the first time to be historic because basically human rights activists journalists lawyers coming from all over the world and going into a stand and people haven't been into that region for many many years so the
8:37 am
estimated we're hoping to get about one hundred thousand people. will 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. car 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
8:38 am
because he's 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 a told by the u.k. why is that us. 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 would knowledge was made
8:39 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 did 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 to speak. most of what he was released after close contact with wiki leaks are fully support the organization i think that any campaigner that speaks out on controversial issues is a high tall good. target for. discrediting no person. i mean i understand the swedish government given over options of how to deal with the situation but i think this is a big effort to to basically get julian extradited to america and i believe this is
8:40 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 doesn't clot and as 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 blood and exported it around the world 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
8:41 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 you want to draw what basically i came into contact with an investigative journalist in pakistan. and writing on socio political issues and one of the issues who writing on was drawn and i realized very quickly that these people were also collateral damage and i thought and 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 i know a lot of the press very very rarely see an interview with a drawn victim so there's nowhere for people to have their voice heard so i thought
8:42 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 congress and good luck and thank you thank you very much thanks. there are many ways to go. if you haven't got enough not to be really rich or famous. you can snatch some doubts from the forest square old. when getting to the top is too much to fight for. back to basics and.
