4:02 am
the very top is now wash your reap and his pm and party. fourteen years after being ousted in a military coup he is on the road to a third term as pakistan's prime minister will have numerous problems to deal with from chronic power cuts to a taliban insurgency he pushing for create free market economic policies and further strain ties with the united states but the vote has also crushed the hopes of millions of pakistanis who want to see real change in the entrenched political system they were counting on cricket legend imran khan and his p.t.i. party he had rallied massive support here in the country with calls to end corruption and to end u.s. drone strikes especially among young voters but it wasn't enough to put him at the top still a significant victory for his party now the pakistan people's party which form the outgoing government took a beating in the polls paying a price for being seen as failing to tackle corruption unemployment and violence while in power of course this in many ways is a historic election first time
4:03 am
a democratically elected government is replaced with another the first time that a staggering sixty percent of voters turned out but also on a darker note the first election to go down as the bloodiest in pakistan's history now a string of bomb blasts disrupted election day killing dozens of people the violence came on the heels of a bloody intimidation campaign by the pakistani taliban which is claimed one hundred thirty lives leading up to the vote the group is fighting to topple poppy stone's u.s. backed government which it sees as quote on the islamic now there were also some allegations of voting irregularities and problems in certain areas mainly in caracas new voting will be held at forty two polling centers where officials said elections were not free and fair overall however a successful largely successful election here in pakistan we will of course keep you updated on the latest reporting from islamabad i'm lucy confident of the policy director as a just of foreign policy did august says series victory would mean many changes.
4:04 am
came in first and second they were going to redefine pakistan for which she continued state leverage among other issues and differing on obviously you say they're not happy with the status quo the real issue here seats is the perception of security and. he turned back to the drone strike to see change in that direction and. sharif on this the main opposition party. expected to be negotiating with the i.m.f. . during significant pull most powerful country in the jewish egypt between the two countries north korea's will continue but i think we'll see a less heavy hand of the united states and pakistan one of the
4:05 am
most successful campaign points in pakistan's election was america's ongoing war on terror being fought in his territory later this hour get the thoughts of. the former pakistani ambassador to the u k. jones it just started the problem as i see it is with it's one sided there's one side of the debate which is how americans see. the usefulness of jones what they're not seeing is the impact the drones are having across the world on local tribes local communities where entire communities are being shouted so you may have one or two or three intended targets being killed the bad guys but then you have one hundred two hundred three hundred completely innocent people being killed women children and these are recorded you can look up the stanford university board new york university united nations there are many many reports on this confirming this i have interviewed
4:06 am
people in waziristan so i have that information in the book now what that is doing is that creates hundreds or more enemies to take out one enemy and you end up creating one hundred windings. this yr in crisis has taken a deadly new twist as tween car bombs a route through the turkish town just across the border killing forty three and injuring more than one hundred others the site has been an entry point for refugees and radical rebels but doctors been quick to blame syrian intelligence for the attack while stopping short of saying damascus is a directly responsible all middle east correspondent policy or has war two car bombs have exploded one was in front of the city hall the other was in front of the local post office in the turkish town of ray hyundai which is not far from the syrian border now we still don't have anyone on your organization coming forward
4:07 am
and claiming responsibility the turkish vice prime minister has gone on record as saying that he feels that that might be the usual pro aside culprits now it is important to remember that turkey shares a somewhat five hundred mile border with syria and in the past ankara has limited support to syrian rebels who are backing the syrian presidency of bashar assad and turkey has lent the rebels both a staging center and an area from which they can conduct their logistics so what we're hearing here is that it might in fact the syrian government officials and soldiers who are retaliating against syria but as i mention no conclusive proof of this it is perhaps important to remember that back in february there was a car bomb in the same is eleven at that stage to the turkish government pointed fingers at the assad regime this is an area that does see a lot of fighting between syrian rebel forces and pro side forces and certainly the
4:08 am
syrian turkish border is extremely volatile. political commentator. a list of believes the battles syrian regime is no position to stage an attack on the nato neighbor. i really do hope that the united states government would take note of the upholding loss of life because if it thinks that pulling more weapons into into a conflict well actually was old and it's very very wrong it will only bring about more death and destruction but in regard to the allegation made by turkey's deputy prime minister today that the usual suspects the usual suspects our presence is that these governments well i would argue that that is once again a baseless and quite frankly a juvenile comments to make why would the syrian government when it is fighting a very very serious internal conflict it needs which resources at the moment put down once is a very very serious islamist uprising and islamist uprising which is linked to al
4:09 am
qaida so it's certainly not in the interests of syria to have been a not a front or a chance against turkey. the escalation comes amid a renewed international push to bring about peace in the region russia's long running efforts to mediate a diplomatic solution have now been officially backed by the u.s. and britain but washington and london continue to support the rebels and are considering arming them directly and he has more on the latest diplomatic developments after months of fiery exchanges on the syrian conflict the major international players russia the united kingdom and the united states have managed to find a common ground principle position has been that it accused the west of supporting only one side of the syrian conflict that is the side of the syrian rebels moreover russia has been particularly concerned with the calls across the atlantic to arm the syrian rebels to provide them with military training and even possibly intervene into the conflict by force also russia was particularly concerned with
4:10 am
statements in the western countries that bashar assad must step down at the same time the western world has never been saying that it's the syrian people that have to choose their new government to have to choose their new future now hardly anyone expected after all months of these of this rhetoric that a meeting between the u.s. state secretary john kerry and the russian president and the russian foreign minister in moscow would produce something positive never the less international conference which is to be called by the end of this month was the direct result of the meeting in moscow that a conference is expected to have both the members of the syrian opposition and the syrian government at the same negotiation table at the same time a press conference between the russian foreign minister lavrov and john kerry took an interesting twist when a reporter asked about the bill to support the syrian rebels with weaponry which is now being considered by the u.s. congress the reply from the u.s. state secretary it was that if the united states finds substantial proof that
4:11 am
chemical weapons were in fact used by bashar assad's troops in syria something which hasn't. yet been proven of course then the this bill will ultimately become reality which many experts have already described this as a certain leeway for the united states to still have a certain leverage on the syrian conflict now also on friday the british prime minister david cameron came to the city of sorts in russia and the biggest intrigue of that meeting was whether david cameron would sing to the same tune as john kerry did in moscow it's no secret that we have had differing views on how best to handle the situation but we share fundamental aims to end the conflict to stop syria fragmenting to let the syrian people choose who governs them and to prevent the growth of violent extremism so i strongly support the conference that mr lavrov for mr kerry agreed this week to deliver a political solution a solution which has a transitional government based on the consent of the syrian people as
4:12 am
a whole so clearly the events of the of this past week have given us a clear indication that there may be interesting things to come in terms of the syrian conflict and this conference can actually produce something of a peaceful solution to the syrian conflict the western backing for the opposition is being blamed for the movement growing increasingly radicalized russian and european politics exploited professor richard southwest says the mediating pushes spearheaded by moscow as a chance to turn that trend around. we do know quite a lot about the details of some of the groups involved though the details of the dynamics between them we know very little we do know that a militant al-qaeda affiliated groups on strengthening because they have been the most years aleut what has been the greatest tragedy of this whole thing over the last two or so years is that there has been and always was some movement in the
4:13 am
middle and this is now being squeezed out in part. of the policy also west but it's not only their fault but clearly they have not facilitated those who are willing to negotiate and to go to table so that for the evidence of the last few days on the first glimmer of hope exact somehow some sort of negotiated settlement could emerge out of the. times of full mr president a says the protesters and sounds of this in a way to get a vital changes they desperately voted for when choosing socialism france on land at last may. last a lively only way is out of all portugal's professionals who say they have no choice but head abroad to for work.

4:19 am
topics but others like these workers from a recently closed steel plant of eastern france are not even hopeful symbolically laid to rest a lot of broken promises under a heading which grieves the trail. does our sylvia r.t. paris. it's not present islanders suffering losses in his ratings and now because he went to bed to fly and campaign for the job as art has been hearing from robert thomas a freelance reporter on french office it's not what he's been doing wrong so much is what he did when he was counted it so what he did when he was candidate was to raise everybody's expectations to a level that he couldn't of fulfilled if he was always steady knew very well he couldn't fulfill them anyway but he promised for us to to refocus nato on defensive measures do you start more or less the opposite by feeling in mali and.
4:20 am
he's initially at any rate very aggressive stance on syria and iran is very noticeable that he's got quiet on syria and quiet on mali although the french have not withdrawn from it i think search features or those that are so you know the traditional thing you're saying so not going well at home you cause a bit of a stir or abroad that distracts attention and you look good you look presidential but the as for the french are beginning to say to each other in the media and so on . it's the economy stupid the first hair was happening in mali or syria or care what's happening in france the problem in prophecy is record unemployment and those no sign it's going to get better. victims day celebrations continued across russia throughout the weekend marking sixty eight years since the

his main concern is that. afghanistan will become much more unstable what's nato troops withdraw. and by the stunning intervention might increase there may well be another round of civil war and that will. turn afghanistan into much more of a breeding ground for terrorism and of course. it is an unstable part of india and once. barn and other militant groups in afghanistan iran and you can buy a stance tribal areas. become more and there's no control over them then they couldn't fool trade didn't break the numbers in kashmir and that's all of course all of the one following in the first steps of greece and spain portugal is unemployment has hit a record high this week and as artie's peter out of

showing a rising number of people who fail to pay their debts and fines end up behind bars without a court verdict the practice is being criticized as unconstitutional but it's alive and kicking in the state of ohio as marina explains. a midwestern u.s. state. internationally recognized for being the battleground where on merit this next president is decided let's talk about the importance of ohio and in the battle for ohio state's eighteen electoral votes mean so much are both paid a lot of attention ohio ohio. you're probably going to decide the next president of the united states for the past thirty six years no candidate has entered the white house without winning this swing state while. while undoubtedly wields an enormous influence in the arena of u.s. presidential politics the state is currently garnering headlines for its prisons
4:30 am
specifically the medieval type punishments being imposed on countless citizens who are drowning in debt. according to a report released by the a.c.l.u. of ohio thousands of citizens are illegally being locked behind bars because they are too poor to pay their debt and we saw some really troubling numbers one case that we looked at out of mansfield ohio there was a gentleman his crime against the community was he let his dog walk in his mobile home park without a leash he was fined thirty dollars and he ended up being found in contempt of court and was sent to jail for not paying for a thirty dollars fine opening what we're doing is going to change that fifty five year old jackdaw lee was incarcerated three times for failing to pay nine hundred dollars in fines every ninety days you had a jail date. and if you weren't working well you're going to jail.
4:31 am
i didn't have a problem while i was working paying on my fines that they set me up on a payment program which was reasonable for me but upon losing my job i had no income debt prisons violate the u.s. and ohio constitutions according to the a.c.l.u. most of the defendants weren't given hearings before being jailed for outstanding fines if the court had taken any time to ask whether or not they couldn't afford to pay that they would see that these were people who just simply cannot pay they were individuals who are homeless many who haven't worked for months if not years people who are disabled people who are taking care of disabled family members these are people who are working and just don't feel like spending the money these are people who literally have no. money people like dante stiles who's unemployed and says he often has to choose between feeding his two children or paying his fines. back and

in the financial sector alone some grizzel wondering whether it's time the monic he committed to the cuts as well ali boyko reports prime minister's first priority will be to reduce the deficit and restore economic stability at the same time the creed is set to get a five billion pound pay rise this year thirty six point one million pounds from the u.k. taxpayer will go towards the queen and her residence says her royal chefs and footman cost an estimated ten million pounds a year thirty six million is divided into money which runs the royal household of the queen and the duke of edinburgh most of it goes on salaries also on the upkeep of royal palaces such as buckingham palace and windsor castle and all royal trouble at home and abroad the british monarchy has become synonymous with
4:35 am
the image of britain because it is the world's most high profile molecule the queen of ages seven and a consul the duke of edinburgh at ninety one are remarkable examples of public service and of national unity but the cost to the public purse rises steadily as austerity sets in the five million pound increase in the queen's expenses from the state represents a fifteen percent rise vital services are being lost while the queen gets this big pay rise i think it's very unfair given that she is personally one of the wealthiest people in britain where the personal wealth are in excess of three hundred million pounds the royal family has over seven hundred servants six palaces they can play. clearly afford themselves to cover any increased costs they shouldn't be begging for the state it's a royal spectacles such as the daily changing of the guards at buckingham palace
4:36 am
the drills are terrorists from around the globe but in these times of austerity some of beginning to question why the wind says comments tighten their belts along with the rest of the queen's subjects' last month the guardian poll found that eighty eight percent of brits were happy with the pay rise think this should give more to the poor not to get too much money the future of not overly impressed to be honest i'm sure she's got more than enough money to survive when she. brings in quite a bit on the toys some whatever but wait to see where where does it come people there because i'm ok where. they're being kept where does it our progress going on money elsewhere in europe royals have had to raid best spending in the face of public opinion the spanish royal family's budget has been reduced for a third year in a row the british monarchy actually stands out around the world it's completely
4:37 am
different to almost every other molecule that you can think of in the sense that they are still surrounded by so much home and circumstance and all the marching bands and then the the horses why did the fronts of carriages the published figures suggest that the royal family the queen and everybody else cost us around something close to forty million pounds a year but doesn't take into account all the extra security all the police work for that that's involved in protecting her and the rest of the family and it doesn't take into account the money that's lost to the sticker because she and prince charles in particular get lots of tax privileges that the rest of us aren't entitle to and while the government has pushed through budget cuts to the national health service and slashed welfare as part of an unprecedented austerity drive there are those that say that prime minister david cameron's promise that. and is all of it together doesn't include the queen of england.

4:41 am
a report on our. ambassador nick is my guest today he's the chair of islamic studies at american university here in washington he was pakistan's ambassador to the u.k. at one time dr ahmed advised us military leaders and diplomats he wrote a great number of books on islam and america's relations with the muslim world his latest book is called the third soul and the drone how america's war on terror became a global war on tribal islam dr ahmed before we talk about the remote lands where the drones strike and kill i want to talk about homegrown terror post nine eleven the u.s. has been all over the map chasing terrorists but then you see terror growing right here in the u.s. you know well educated area like ken bridge massachusetts i'm referring to the boston bombers of course what slipped. through the cracks in america's
4:42 am
understanding of terror this is a new phenomena a new social phenomenon and the challenge when people see homegrown terrorists they really mean muslims muslim youth boys or young people who are born here or grew up here in the united states and have turned against the united states i believe that several causes are to be identified you have the problem of you growing up in a culture not their own which means many of these boys are from the middle east or south asia or in the case of the boston bombers from the caucasus from douglas town chechnya they're growing in a culture which sort of accepts them and sort of doesn't so there's some resistance even in culture but they fight by so many accounts they did it end. no diff as i said the fitting on one level on another level they don't just take the example of the two boston bombers or of the other previous homegrown terrorists they're
4:43 am
hearing around so much talk of islamophobia so one attacks on the religion on their koran on their culture not necessarily on a religious level so their response is not an islamic response necessarily it's also a cultural response the same phenomena can be seen in the u.k. where you have many of these young british born muslims growing up in the u.k. being accepted playing cricket going to the pub and so on and yet being involved in terrorism so they're not thankfully many of these but there are cases and these cases i really believe are a consequence of several failures of society larger society not being able to integrate them fully their own community not being able to detect who they are and then give them a certain direction where the boston bomber intelligence warnings were there the guy did not really hide his radical views and there is a says that the authorities did not pursue him and i mean caroline sir and i if well enough because he did not fit into their profile of who would be
4:44 am
a jihadi you know probably thinking that it would be someone with maybe a yemeni background can you talk about the danger of profiling in law enforcement with you know i've been charge of law and order myself in the tribal areas of pakistan in baluchistan and those are the most difficult areas to administer we were taught that you need to learn when the cat is about to jump and where it will jump so when you profile in this broad way that you mention that maybe or middle east looking people and we only look at them then our mentality is that we'll all wait if someone is blue eyed or blond he could not be a terrorist as we know terrorism comes in every form every ship we've had many terrorist strikes in the united states of people who are not muslim timothy mcveigh is just why. infamous example but many of these were local people who are not muslim so the m. should be to prevent violence who ever is committing it there is
4:45 am
a perception that terror grows where there is a lack of education true to a certain extent but there is something that a lot of people don't understand let's put it like like people like anwar are lucky right an american citizen who was killed in a drone strike in yemen graduated from george washington university presumably well read so it's not like he hasn't read into what islam is about and then to stumble on star diet for me majored in philosophy so he probably to some some we dig but why do they find what they find in islam well let me respond to that's a very good question first the assumption that education means a person is compassionate or sensible or clueless or inclusive is not really correct secondly that is coming from islam is equally not correct perhaps the most terrible example in recent history is what the germans did to the jewish community in germany in the nineteenth thirty's and forty's do you know that something like
4:46 am
twenty five to thirty percent of the cases which was the most vicious of the german nazi party they were actually ph d.'s or they had them is a higher education degrees where did that leave their humanity they were completely unsympathetic to the jewish community so again they were they thought they were representing a higher civilization so we have to be very careful about making these generalizations very often these people acting as they do which is completely unacceptable and to be condemned these acts of violence they are coming out of their own broken societies the lack of guidance they're getting their distorted mutated understanding of islam drones america's new tour in the war on terror some argue if there were no drones they would still go after the suspected terrorists using other vehicles other jets that would still be missiles and hits what different.
