a star 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 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 the 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 ngo. and she's lost a whole family continued 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

been harmed in a drone strike and he said that his brother was seriously disturbed enough after this incident and part part of the debris from the drone to actually hit their family home and now the little boy won't even go out and play he's afraid 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. yes 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 are they 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'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

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 clarify about 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 have been 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 them. and they're not accountable you know who are they accountable 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 going into this stage and you know they're killing innocent people and they must be held to account for that 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 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 to create a full scale civil war in pakistan is this being done with the agreement of 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 u.s. 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 lawyer is coming from all over the world and they're going into with zero stan 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 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 is 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

there's also very positive side the people are very warm very welcoming they are 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. 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 this 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 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 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 target. high target for. discrediting no person. i mean i understand the swedish government given all the options of how to do with the situation but i think there's a big effort to to basically get to 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 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 eight died 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 well basically i came into contact with an investigative journalist in pakistan called saline shazad and rushing on socio political issues and one of the issues who rush in was drones and i realized very quickly that these people were also collateral damage and i felt an 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 know so we could both share experiences and learn from each other grace and good luck and thank you thank you very much thanks. to the shame of. being. able to actually. shoot the photographs and even. maybe we can actually make washington completely rethink . it's.

first time in thirteen attempts as his moscow side kick off at the nou camp for the opening game in group emmanuel and many will once again spearhead the red white attack after the nigerian also scored in the two two domestic draw a q back on saturday while coach and we think boss alone i can be beaten even though i could fail to win while at the helm the spanish sides unbalance. the way 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 tomorrow we start in what is possibly the most difficult stadium of this fourteen group that comprises six games but our mentality is to win against barcelona. while sponsors domestic form has been erratic and leaves them seventh in the russian premier league is back on the bench for inform boss alaska who are top of la liga after winning all four games so

far while the boss all wary of the russian side and the spanish coach. said there's a lot that i want you go as a coach emery's pray for there's always. put us under pressure i think you'll do the same with spot talk as you did when he coached valencia so this is a new team and he has know the players that long the champions league you don't usually know your opponents very well but this isn't the case with emery so the surprise factor doesn't account for this part of our game. meanwhile chelsea stop the defense of that cycle with a home tie against italian johns eventis captain john terry is fit and started along with davies on all sca. victimizes are on the bench the blues are currently top of the english premier league while you they are on an incredible forty two game unbeaten run in syria and chelsea manager at about edema tayo but if their opponents are one of the best sides in the competition. fantastic.

quality within that team experience young players play is. probably one of the most difficult pictures you could have picked being drawn against this champions league. meanwhile as old trafford manchester united are hosting turkish side ghattas arroyo in group h. robin van persie and shinji kagawa have returned to the starting line up while jonny evans part is the man you did it in the center of the defense but also includes patrice evra and that is back in goal united have lifted europe's top club trophy three times but were eliminated at the group stage last season as manager sir alex ferguson has fielded a strong side to prevent an early shock. you don't want to be as clear as you were once you. think. all of. the. ship rolled for over two. years.

well last year's run as up by in munich have become a european challenge with a home game against violence here you can ks men have reached the final twice in the past three seasons and the top of the bundesliga following a three game winning stop to their domestic campaign the very inside of the favorites to make the knockout stage with better oceanside both say completing group tests. one on tuesdays and if. he says he takes full responsibility for his side shock st no defeated la liga the stuttering russian champions of start to cool thing the domestic league and what was out a fifty million dollars signing axel witsel in spain where two goals in the first thirteen minutes discovered. gave them a mountain to climb. to the second with fifteen minutes left a convincing victory. and in the other group c. game against unlike the finnish goalless to me it's a neat bottom of the table. while in madrid christiane i would although he's

a last minute winner israel came from two one down in the last three minutes to clinch a thrilling three two win over manchester city and go top of group d. walmart's hummels missed a penalty that robert live on the struck late on as dortmund. one. gets to spy rails european success. twelfth. something's wrong with it can lose and she was fighting like animals i mean not like. real madrid. like the match in. interview. while in the europa league on thursday russia goalkeeper of leukemia goble of is a dancer on g.'s opening group game at u.d. in a.z. defend a christian and saw they will miss robina's trip to into milan while tottenham host another italian side last year france shot stopper who go yachting this could make his debut for spurs off the manager and was promised to make changes to his

starting eleven and spark a manner of rivalries and with the house being injured tottenham have tasted victory in just one game for so far this domestic season last year one all three and pose a threat to stop touring spurs in group j. which also includes kind of an eye course and slovenian side marrable. that english is a big team but i think. it's going to be difficult as well tree games but these two games are traditional but that's why i think we have to begin to win this game and holding for important for us that we can go to there with a different. with more confidence. now into i saw he and alexander ovechkin has become the latest n.h.l. superstar to come back to play in russia as the lockout continues in north america the washington capitals front has signed a deal with rape a child champions dinamo moscow choosing his former club over city was discussed the twenty seven year old in

a two time world champion and has also twice to make the n.h.l. playoffs however after seven seasons in america he has yet to lay his hands on the stanley cup so the garden cup. could sweep that hill. and it's going could face russia teammate even a couple took on sunday off the new jersey devils joint sponsor petersburg the twenty nine year old has also been named the team's captain of the n.h.l. stars to return home we can get any now can and sergei gonchar up under our rules each team is allowed to sign up to three players from the north american league and couple trick is looking forward to the experience. we're going to which. yeah and also the terms of the main reason for choosing scott was to get pleasure from hockey to play in a wonderful atmosphere and to play in a team that fights for the top places and the fact that the team is located near my hometown too it is also very good as my children now have an opportunity to spend time with their grand lepper the turkish on more than others and finally to boxing

which may sing any weight class well that's according to the south the vice president of the world boxing council. as. the world boxing cancel for the w.b.c. champion stardoll there is no war in professional boxing at wire could one more with the most all time greats reaching their pinnacle with this belt around their waist the w.b.c. is one of the full most prestigious are going is ations in the business and here is why. something in the world boxing council has brought together around one hundred seventy national federations the w.b.c. president jose suman really revolutionized professional boxing twelve rounds instead of fifteen pensions for retard fighters medical insurance and so on all the innovations which were adopted in the sport are associated with the name of suliman and so is our organization that's why the w.b.c. champions title is the most prestigious. however russia has only had three w.b.c.

champion so for with plenty of talent in the country the successors to u.t. are by chuck of course to do and let my skier are yet to come and according to russian w.b.c. vice president mikhail denise of the problem is about experience as it takes both an x. on fire and x. on promotion do it him to the summit on the professional boxing is a big game and all the players have already established themselves in the business and been there for a long time russian boxing needs to develop to really make it to reach the high stakes game we have great a. deal of gifted up and comers but we need to learn how to promote them on home soil first build up their names of careers here in russia which takes a big team of professionals infrastructure and excellent management and events boost them abroad there is no improvement without change and professional boxing is no different and might be a new weight class at this point that helps us board grow he says there are some

fighters who are somewhere in between the cruiserweight and heavyweight classes of the w.b.c. w b o and i.v.'s are negotiating over establishing a new wage category and it could help that kind of fighter bring out their full potential meanwhile mixed martial arts has already been fighting for the right to exist in the common sports business for a long time and keeps gaining popularity both in year old and overseas though denise it was sure that people's passion for boxing will never end i would boxing has always had a huge audience and found base and it always will it's a classy sport and a great spectacles watchable for kids women and of course men i don't think it's under threat of getting less popular or even extinction ish it will never happen one never. so with a background of up and coming players and may bring passion for boxing and the prospect of a new weight class the wait for russia's next w.b.c.

champion should hopefully not be too long. r.t. . and that's all the sports news this wednesday.
