unemployment hits a grim new high figures revealing record levels of people out of work in the eurozone the french economic worries drive to set himself on fire. the u.s. the u.s. military wants the. killings to take center stage by giving aid to soldiers operating american drones. there's been no response from british police one week after a report revealed a shocking culture of neglect by hospital stall caused the deaths of hundreds of patients. government demonstrations to mark the two year anniversary of the

protest movement in bahrain. result in a teenager's death. in the russian capital you're watching on live from the heart of moscow. one out of every four greeks including over half the country's young people out of work according to the latest unemployment figures with the jobless rate more than double the european average former greek m.p. if the center left panhellenic socialist movement says that the dire situation is a result of the failed economic rescue. well it seems that it's getting worse not better this is the famous rescue of greece from the european union they say that will reach thirty percent of unemployment it means that while thousands of people lose their jobs every day in greece this is starting to become

a humanitarian crisis and i think it's something that we no one expected to see in the european union you see extreme poverty you see people that they tried to get a plate of food from the church we have two hundred fifty thousand people every day trying to get to the church to find food we are talking about the young people that they want to find a job in greece the trying to leave the country we're talking about people that don't have access to a primary health services and i would like in about things that no one expected to see it seems that the plan for growth is taking to margin too long to take place so something has to change i do believe that germany has stuck to this plan and doesn't want to admit the mistakes where we listen every day of things that could have big been better for greece if the plan was better if they had made

better estimation about what would happen but this is something that's not only numbers it's one thousand people human beings in the european union that lose their jobs every day this is creating a human tire crisis inside the euro zone. meanwhile some have been driven to increasingly desperate measures due to the ongoing crisis across the continent committed suicide by shooting himself on the job center in the city of norms the forty three year old has been refused unemployment benefits in a country which is suffering its highest jobless rate for thirteen years. has the details said it reports that he had actually set a letter to some journalists saying that he was going to do this this week so the police had said that they had set of surveillance outside that employment agency but they didn't manage to see him he was already on fire they said he had entered through a side street and therefore this tragedy had happened now the man did this after

finding out that he is no longer eligible for those unemployment benefits and this is not the first time it has happened in france in august we know that a fifty year old jobless man had done the same and this is a worrying sign for france for a country that has seen its unemployment rising for the past twenty months and this after a president had been elected on a campaign of jobs and growth so we haven't seen any improvements on this front so a lot has declared twenty thirteen as a battle for jobs he said that by the end of the year there would be he would be creating jobs for the french people however statistics show that by mid year the number is set to rise and let's not forget that more than three million french people this number does not include people who have quit the unemployment program because they simply have exhausted all their benefits similar to the case of the man who had just burned himself and also those young people who had never registered or those who were in part time jobs if we look at the trend we've seen a lot of suicides and attempted suicides in countries like greece one of the hardest hit euro zone countries because of this eurozone crisis there's

a general feeling of a still in the country a lot of people going out in protest we've also heard of stories of suicides in italy another hard hit country so if we're looking at the trend that's happening in europe we hope it does not continue but we could see a lot more expressions of dissatisfaction. the pentagon is introducing a new award to ensure those fighting us wars from a fall receive recognition defense secretary leon panetta has announced the creation of a distinguished warfare medal it will be handed out to joystick wielding drone pilots who waged their battles without setting foot in combat zones earlier. explains my colleague what it takes to get an award so your signature hair you have a joystick and you point click and then get an award essentially that's all it takes to get it to get a medal which is supposed to rank higher than the bronze medal which is given out to people who actually perform combat duty but according to the pentagon criteria

i'm going to cite it here it will be recognizing a single act that directly affects the combat operation does not involve an act of valor and warrants that award higher than the bronze medal so instead of having to go to the front line and risk the extreme bloody violence there you can just sit in your recliner with a joystick and maybe a couple for example and just wage war from about a thousand miles away i guess perhaps there is a there perhaps there's a basic knowledge of the territory somewhere in the border between afghanistan and pakistan that's involved but let's compare it just sitting around basically just sitting at a base to doing something like something that was done by sergeant william stacey in two thousand and eleven he received a bronze medal a bronze a bronze star which is considered to rank below this medal that we're talking about now what he did was receiving fire along with his squad from ten or twelve and we fighters from five separate fighting positions though outnumbered stacy in his squad held back numerous flanking attempts and accurate enemy grenades and large

caliber fire he was hailed for unquestionably saving the lives of his marines this is a citation from his award citation and he actually died in combat in january of two thousand and eleven so again this man apparently did a lot less than was a person sitting at an army base and pointing him out. and clicking on their territory somewhere in the middle east is superstores or bronze stars which as you say have now been. the main awarded with those they must have been praised for some very heroic deeds. you're talking about here yes the sergeant that is in question is actually doing something on the ground right now we're talking about drone strikes we're talking about a very questionable by a lot of institutions specially human rights organizations that practice of protecting the united states and the world from terrorism as the pentagon the you know you don't own drone strikes. strikes where they target someone via satellite

and via this brilliant camera on the drone they never hit civilians they only hit militants right that is the official version but they even had they had to change that which was which they have been rigged by them i mean the american officials the pentagon officials they stuck by that rhetoric for years until i think roughly two thousand and six when they had to acknowledge that yes indeed at least the best half of the people who are being killed by the drone strikes are actually innocent bystanders in fact there has been a research done by various universities there was a study from from the new york university school of law as well as stanford university law school and they have said that roughly all out of those killed only two percent are actually high importance targets that is those are the only two percent of people who are being killed are known terrorists ninety eight percent happen to be whoever it is very very disturbing numbers numbers are disturbing and

i'm like to go back and remind you that now people who are doing this and who are basically responsible for it are going to be awarded a medal that is going to rank higher than somebody who actually lay down his life in the line of duty. artie's arena talking to my colleague a little. well there are no awards for cyber spying in the u.s. just yet but big brother is still watching the largest defense contractor in the u.s. develop software that can predict people's behavior by using social networks we report in a few minutes. security is tight in libya ahead of the second anniversary of the revolution that toppled the gadhafi regime there are growing calls for protests and the threats of possible street violence reports italian arms un troops arriving in tripoli former m i five agent and says it's naive to think western powers want to support democracy in the country. the people who invest a lot of hope in the arab spring i think now they're beginning to realize the harsh

reality that a lot of it was backed by the west and the west wants to strip their countries of the mineral wealth only seeing the spillover into other areas like mali and niger as well and this is all part of a bigger to power player between us wanting to secure the minerals losses of africa generally and stop china getting them so in terms of democracy an arab spring there you know i think it's very naive to think that that's what the west is trying to help these countries to achieve we've seen an absolute mess left behind by the nato invasion of libya which is what happened two years ago let's not mince words and that was problematic on so many levels not just the international legal level where suddenly aggressive war could be justified as humanitarian intervention even though it destabilized an entire country and results in many more deaths than could be prevented. but we're also looking at a situation now where the country has lost its stability where there are reports coming out from independent journalists about militias still holding great swathes

of the country and their power where we have competing fairly fundamentalist politicians police groups as well fighting over their territory without any of the promised ability wealth and democratic values that were suggested when nato went in so it's become such a mess and so many levels. the second anniversary of the uprising in bahrain a teenager is killed in protest two years after the on the rest. pro-democracy demands are still being ignored. a picture. there's still no action following an independent report into hundreds of needless deaths in the hospital more. coming up shortly. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something

else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you know. i'm sorry welcome to the big picture. is he to.

continue with our top stories this hour. a week shocking revelations of needless deaths in a british high. spittal there are still no signs of action the family and friends of hundreds of patients who died due to neglect are calling for criminal action to be taken against those responsible and the former chief of another hospital says he was paid half a million pounds not to talk about a similar situation elsewhere sarah firth has been following the scandal. but in the latest twist we've seen an n.h.s. whistleblower come out and say that he was forced to quit after he'd raise concerns about issues that he said endangered patient safety but this latest revelation comes on the back of the francis report that we saw last week now that was looking

into the scandal that happened at mit stuff which hospital where it's thought more than a thousand patients could have died between two thousand and five and two thousand and eight as a result of inhumane and degrading treatment almost no warrant food stuffs a hospital in september of two cents to date you just a disaster people you know to be nice to a little two to one of. those that was left. on the floor we've been there to break the story you feel that same way to describe steve. in my home still seems. to be she's had to go through what she went through the n.h.s. whistleblower he says that he was confronted with many of the same decisions and concerns that were raised at mit started to hospital now he was the head of one of

the hospitals a united lincolnshire hospital he was facing many of the same problems he claims the government targets but he refused to meet the fear that it would endanger patient safety meant that he then had to quit and was subject to a so-called secret gag to keep him quiet of the whistleblower who spoke out gary who could talk of a culture there and oppression and certainly it seems that a lot of these problems have been going on i think many many years now i'm joined by the head one of the members of the n.h.s. a political party know your political party that's been formed people within the health care profession and they're all very concerned about what's happening. in the n.h.s. right now when the mid staffordshire scandal with revealed very much the respite from the government was that this was an exceptional case that this was if not a one of it was particularly bad and yet we're seeing one of the hospitals being investigated and it seems that nothing shocks just keep on coming isa price that

this no i'm not surprised at this wild stuff the chip was particularly bad there of always being in the n.h.s. while most of the care has been fantastic over the years in such a complicated organization and such a large organization there will be such incidents that have been for many years the real problem is that the n.h.s. and the government do not seem to be able to learn from the old inquiries that of being from thirty years ago the hospital advisory service would report and i think the same things are still going on now because they're the chief executive of the n.h.s. they even nicholson to resign have so far been resisted he says that he has nothing to be as saying dog and that during his time providing this is down to systematic they years so of course the people who are campaigning have been calling very hard for his resignation say by he has resisted that

a teenager has reportedly been killed in clashes between police and protesters in bahrain like libya the gulf state is marking two years since the start of its own uprising the demonstrators say that demands to end discrimination and release all political prisoners have not been met london based bahraini activist dominic cover camp says despite attempts to hold talks nothing is being done. we're looking at two years in which we've seen no reform we've seen nothing change i mean we started this uprising two years ago and on that day the first martyr of the uprising was killed and now two years later on the same day the fourteenth of february another teenager has been killed and this really shows and displayed the lack of reform continuous human rights abuses that continue its repression taking place on the streets of bahrain it's good the dialogue has come back on the agenda and there is discussions happening but it seems that you know this latest latest escalation of the security against the people is going to possibly put dined in jeopardy within

the ruling family i think of course there are those who simply want to please the international community to say look we're having this dialogue and there is not a great thing was continuing the violations on the streets the people have come out and it's true time and time again saying that they they won't go out and they said you know go home until there's reform and i think the fact that they stayed out to eat is clearly proves that so the only solution is through dialogue and i think gratian has to realize that. well we also keep you updated with the latest news online with more stories and videos that dot com hey here's what's waiting for you that the moment some prefer the cage even if it's not gilded in south carolina a seventy three year old ex prisoner robbed a bank to put on what he says he belongs in that's a jail cell find out why on our website also you don't call. plus canadian law enforcers allegedly use that power against those that are meant to protect the investigation claim some missing and abused indigenous girls and women

were raped by mounted police more on our website. the u.s. president will be handed a petition calling for the release of a u.k. resident two spent over a decade behind bars at guantanamo bay prison was taken to the vicinity under suspicion of links with al qaeda terrorists but was cleared for release in two thousand and nine however he remains in detention but he's never been charged or tried thomas b. will not a defense counsel for guantanamo prison as case is not an exception shocker was

these people need to be out shocker aamer should be out of guantanamo there's no reason for him to be there. now big brother may be watching every click you make online a major defense contractor has confirmed that it is shared technology with the us government that is able to predict your future behavior and locations in cyberspace however with the program only using data submitted voluntarily via social networks claims of privacy violations don't stick as artie's go and she can reports. those of you who are using social networks will find this interesting the world's fifth largest defense contractor raytheon a multinational firm based in massachusetts came up with a software that can map out your life and even predict your moves your behavior based on the information that you provide on websites like facebook twitter or foursquare the guardian has obtained a video. where a raytheon staffer explains and shows how it works the program is called it someone

already branded it google for spice is just a few clicks and it creates diagrams charts maps showing who you've communicated with most online your associations and relationships places where you check in most you know over twenty five million people use this app called foursquare to alert friends of their whereabouts so the program uses that and also the photos that people take on smartphones often have led to tootin longitude details automatically imbedded in them so this ride program at a quick or two can analyze all that data and as the gentleman in the video claims it can roughly predict where to find you at a given time and potentially your behavior based on your interests so this firm that developed the software a major defense contractor has acknowledged that the technology was shared with the u.s. government as part of a joint research and development effort to help build the national security system capable of analyzing quote unquote trillions of entities from cyberspace that

reminds me of the conversation that i had with william binney a mathematician aspiring software expert who had worked for the national security agency for decades and who told us that the government is spying on people on a much larger scale and the building social networks is part of it take a listen they were building social networks. who who is communicating and with whom inside this country so that your entire social network of everybody there are u.s. citizen was being compiled. over time so they're taking from one company alone a roughly three hundred twenty million records a day that's over time that that's probably cumulated up to close to twenty trillion over the years mr binney blew the whistle on this n.s.a. program saying it is a blatant violation of the constitution but with this riot software one can argue that they can see information that individuals have already chosen to make public they put it out there and most people know that privacy safeguards that for example

facebook provides don't hold water really and yet people choose to share so if you don't want someone to be able to map out your entire life and to be able to potentially predict your behavior stop checking in everywhere and turn off location services on your phone or maybe you don't want that in that case no worries. some other stories from around the globe for you now. one of the world's most celebrated sportsman oscar pistorius has been charged with murder after his girlfriend was shot dead at his home the man known as the blade runner made history last year after becoming the first double amputee to compete in the olympic games the south african is believed to have told police that he shot reeva steenkamp by accident thinking she was an intruder. several hundred protesters took to the streets of berlin in a bid to prevent the eviction of a number of families from their homes right places blocked roads and pepper sprayed activists outraged by skyrocketing rent prices fifteen people have reportedly been
