climb down on freedoms enough to sustain israel and this is what they're trying to remedy the you tube verdict comes in light of. you know many other decisions that clamp down on freedoms and it's no surprise that they will try to install the infrastructure necessary to clamp down on. various websites that they see as a threat to their rule we're we're going to see more waves of protests and we're going to see more violence because if you look at the situation in egypt the regime did not die the symbols just changed we just have new people following the same rules. egypt wasn't the only arab spring country that plunged into turmoil this week a wave of violent protests have swept through tunisia following the assassination of a secular opposition leader dozens were injured and more than three hundred people detained during the rallies which ended with anti-government demonstrators clashing with the police or desire for national has been following the dramatic developments in the tunisian capital forty eight year old lawyer shockley ability to criticize

brennan is a right according to some members of the public did not. session was interrupted several times by protesters against brennan as the driving force behind the so-called targeted killings operations human rights activists claim the use of drones against suspected terrorists both american and foreign citizens is unlawful and leads to a high number of civilian casualties after the chairman ordered protesters to be removed lawmakers question brennan on torture and shortcomings though seemed reluctant to challenge him and his answers scholar and author call in a cave wall says that given biden's confirmation it could set a troubling precedent. this is a complete of our constitutional rights. and equal protection. and you know the administration is doing here is they're usurping the. united to the american citizens and saying that we can be judged jury and executioner we can do you know american citizens abroad without having the.

court we can say they are jurors and we can go. dangerous this is wonderful look ministrations says we can determine who are the jurors and that means go anywhere. without any trial without any problems and that is a very dangerous precedent. john boehner is now up for a closed door hearing to iron out sensitive technicalities but the debate is already brewing about what direction he could take the cia sorties going to explains. in the shadows no more drones are moving into the mainstream was drone makers in the u.s. military pushing to defend the killing machine drones are more properly titled remotely piloted vehicles allow us to do is to project capability without projecting vulnerability in their revolutionizing north. by allowing us to see. and

q. from half a world away a major drone manufacturer lockheed martin has financed an hour long documentary on drones aired recently on u.s. public television touting the technological capabilities of the killing machine from trailers like this pilots of the predator and its larger cousin the reaper have killed thousands of individuals since two thousand and one using remotely piloted aircraft contrary to popular belief actually provides the greatest degree of ethical oversight for their use this young man in pakistan would probably disagree several of his family members died at the remote hands of a drone more than a thousand other civilians were reportedly killed by u.s. drone strikes in pakistan and yemen we find ourselves murdering people in many cases children with no evidence whatsoever that they're involved in any criminal or terrorist activity the numbers should not come as

a surprise considering the broad definition the obama administration gives as to who should be on their kill list the leaked memo on targeted assassinations from the u.s. justice department suggests the u.s. government can kill people even without evidence that they are actively plotting against america somebody a u.s. citizen or otherwise is believed to be thinking something that could lead to actions against the united states then this illogical logic would present the idea that it would be ok for the president to order that that person be killed to spite the u.n. raising concerns about the legality of the use of drones the u.s. has said to expand its remote control warfare setting up new drone bases across the world drama has redefined war there and intervention in libya he made the case that the war powers act in a quiet because there was no risk to american soldiers and so under that rationale he can expand the global war while in his state of the union address queening that

we don't need perpetual war for peace but. it is perpetual war when you can drop bombs on any country and then claim that it's not war john brennan often referred to as the architect of the administration's drone war how it's the new opportunities for the us to wage wars without risking american lives there is another reason a targeted strikes can be a wise choice to strategic consequences that inevitably come with the use of force . as we have seen deploying large armies abroad won't always be our best offense all in all the u.s. now has around ten thousand drones in its fleet not all of them carry weapons of course a lot of them are for surveillance both domestic and international there's a great push both from the administration and the drone makers to present them as america's next best thing john brennan if confirmed will soon be at the helm of the cia and no one doubts that under him the program will expand even further in washington i'm going to shut down. the e.u.

is under pressure for appointing a highly expensive attack against those who criticize the block on social media later this hour we'll take a look at why some say the measure could have violates the main principles the fear appeared in parliament also for a new u.k. government looks to expand its own access to citizens' internet activity and mobile phone use saying this step could be crucial for national security that and more stay with us. the little. government no longer represents the freedom. of the people we're going to take the trip. we.

leave you to leave. the way our economic issues are really not going to. i. was. told welcome back well this week saw days of strikes in spain as tens of thousands

of teachers and students voiced their anger over education cuts but the government seems unmoved by the crowd says it's committed to belt tightening measures that it struggles to dig the country out of its debt hole but a message from the people of spain was echoed on the streets of ireland where thousands united in a massive show of anger against severe austerity measures tough cuts were implemented to please ireland's creditors it's been relying on a joint international monetary fund loans and twenty. and angry crowds have been spoiling the mute mood of e.u. leaders as they celebrate a historic budget deal cutting the block spending for the first time ever it was sealed after hours of debates and bickering over the deal left the european parliament unimpressed with its m.p. is now planning to block it in a private boat economist james way isn't. constitutionally the well within their rights to reject the thing and send it back and have another go at writing this no

whether they actually do that will probably depend on the fine print of the budget or already you politick to said he would be able to support the steel in the heads of one of the major groups of all of them socialist group said that they were likely to be supported so it could be rocky reuter think this budget over the next few months cameron's right to talk about this being like a reduction in a credit card limits and of course you can have your credit card limit reduced and still spend carry on spending more money you know that's almost certainly what's going to happen to britain over the next few years the amounts that britain is expected to pay into the main e.u. fund will increase as a result of increased payments to a new member countries so he's going to pretend that this will show how britain can still be a force in europe how we can push the rest of europe around this glosses over the fact of course that he would have got anywhere in this without the support of the angle of merkel in particular so we can we can try to push that line the you know he knows what he's doing to europe and that we don't need to go so far as to step

out of the european union but i wouldn't see the more euro skeptic members of his own party being particularly impressed by any of this. until on the other international headlines in brief now. a multibillion dollar missile defense shield that the u.s. is the playing in eastern europe may not be able to protect america from possible strikes from iran serious flaws in the system were a veiled in studies that oppose the bans department prepared for congressional briefing russia has long been critical of the missile shield most of its borders that the u.s. insists is aimed strictly at preventing attacks from iran and north korea. and the u.s. the los angeles police department says it will reopen an investigation into the dismissal of a police officer who is now on the run suspected of murder officials will look into the future to allegations of racism and corruption among his ex colleagues christopher dorner was fired. thousand and nine he is now wanted for allegedly killing three people after posting a manifesto online police said that he may have already target other.

you know various terrorist groups were coming in the radical islamists and we're we're we're active and the original scenario they had in mind that it would take just a couple of months to topple the assad regime and then sort of democracy will draw your own force completely unrealistic but i mean do notice this is an extremely powerful country a different player with a lot of an influence on for example such a country as qatar which is reportedly the main source of weapons support for for armed opposition so the fact they simply see themselves doing that does not does not really absolve them completely from responsibility of what is happening in the. well privacy in the u.k. could be compromised if the government pushes on with its plans to spy on citizens

online document described as a snowbird charter would allow authorities to track people's internet activity and mobile phone use and the government explains that the bill was crucial for national security but the draft proposal has sparked fears among britons that's believe as some believe the monitoring of personal data is simply a step too far jim kilo of the open rights groups think they'll be no place beyond the reach of the state. snoopers chances a bill that would allow the government to collect data about everybody online and data mining that data so it's not just about the guilty it is not just about records being kept it's not just about serious people serious criminals who need to be tracked is about the potential of illegal to you more important to get hold of any information about anybody just about anything that you do would be detectable through the information trails you leave we need the home office of publish

detailed proposals so that we can see whether there is a way workable what the damage would be and have a proper serious debate about those proposals so are people right to think these proposed laws as a serious prior invasion of privacy and go to our website and have your say on what you think would happen if the government about just of push the charges. look like a distant a limb big dream for russians has now become a very close reality account i was kicked off across the country marking one year before russia hosts its first ever went to games but celebrations and praise for the unique the cillit is built from scratch went hand in hand with harsh criticism for overspending and missed deadlines or does andrew farmer reports from sochi. fireworks lit up the sochi sky this week marking exactly a year to go before the winter games begin since two thousand and seven piece by piece the city has been putting its elim picturing together in the company in

an in-depth look at the occupy wall street movement after the break right here on our team. saudi arabia has ordered its retailers to construct one point six meter tall barriers in the middle of their stores a rather unusual demand is that something related to everyone's favorite buzzword terrorism no it is to keep male and female coworkers separate saudi arabia is pretty infamous in the west for its laws regarding the sexes and their segregation activists always want to go to other countries to convince them to adopt western attitudes that deep down in their hearts they secretly want but often they miss things like the fact that it was saudi women who ask for the segregation feeling uncomfortable while buying products from men according to a.f.p.

you know some people in countries like saudi arabia or north korea might actually like living a radically different lifestyle and even if they don't like living that way well it is their job to fix it not by some sort of western intervention when i want to live in either of those countries not not really do i want to live in a country with the saudi arabian concept of gender no not really but part of having freedom of choice means being able to choose things that i may think are backwards or illogical you know let them have the walls in the stores if they want western civilization you know if it's truly the end all of human evolution then they'll take those walls down eventually on their own but that's just my opinion. my name is dennis i made this movie and there are a few things you should know about me right from the jump i'm not an expert on the economy climate change or foreign policy i'm also not an expert on sustainable

farming systems the history of social movements or lego's the occupy movement has experts on all those things and more not really one of the happily married husband a father of two fantastic children i live on a main street in a small new england town with actual white picket fences i made this movie for you me and everyone we know in the hope that we can create a world where human need comes before corporate greed so why does it feel almost un-american to say that i think about it this way just go with me for a second here you know that scene from the oliver stone film wall street when gordon gekko played by michael douglas in a role that would win him an oscar appears at a shareholders meeting of a company or paper to defend his actions and his grotesque worldview and delivers the now famous speech where he says. the lack of better word is good. right. create works. there.
