was. no drones pakistan's new prime minister demands an end to america's aerial attacks on pakistani soil demanding respect for national sovereignty. protests police clashes in turkey leave a third person with undue pressure prime minister blaming the on the rest foreign agents. face trial on charges of mass murder on violence against police before president putin was sworn in one year ago.

world wide headlines live. in the russian capital worst now at just after eight am here. in islamic. pakistans a newly elected prime minister wants an end to u.s. drone strikes in the country. one of the first things he did on getting an unparalleled third consecutive time the u.s. claims that it's a tax though only target militants but activists say nearly a thousand innocent people have been killed and pakistan's high court has declared that illegal. some of the victims of drug war. the locals call it death in the skies in pakistan's northwest tribal region an american drone as seen from the ground it's become the weapon of choice in the u.s. war on terror and this is the damage it can wreak under president obama more than three hundred such strikes on pakistani soil against alleged al qaeda and taliban suspects. but ordinary civilians also pay

a price this man is one of them i mean a lot was on his way to work at a mine near his village when a drone struck the area he lost his leg in the attack three other miners who were with them lost their lives we live in constant fear of another strike we are simple villagers who are stuck in a war that we didn't ask for it's a hopeless feeling or to be death is above our heads all the time although the attack took place three years ago i mean a loss says the pain is still severe the sight of his injuries upsets his four children meanwhile depression anxiety and lingering fear have pushed him to take up tranquilizer pills and modify it in the fame arrogance should be able to tell an ordinary person from a television leader what they should know who they're killing what did we do to deserve this. this isn't my ex any grown arctic it's a question echoed by now dar who lost part of his hearing his short term memory and nearly his foot got the. queen of was so intense that this threw us out far from

the place we were sleeping after several minutes there was another strike and it killed many more people i turn issues out of bar has sued both the u.s. and pakistan on behalf of the civilian victims he says they're the voiceless people of the zeerust on isolated by geography and politics simply call it a concentration camp that you have build a wall of. military and militants and behind that wall you keeping more than eight hundred thousand people who are not allowed to come out and no one from the rest of the country is allowed to go in and that's a kind of tree which u.s. is using to use and test its drone program in many ways the epicenter of the cia's highly classified drone program is a black hole on the map a region of pakistan off limits to outsiders especially westerners now evidence of the drone strikes is almost impossible to get but these were smuggled to islam

abroad from the tribal areas there are believed to be fragments of actual hellfire missiles retrieved from a war zone most americans never get to see. fragments collected by nora but a local journalist who spent years documenting the civilian toll of drones especially on children just images of the living and the dead for nor it's personal . see him whenever my three year old daughter hears a plane she runs inside and won't sleep that night the children here have been traumatized by the drones the sound of a door banging shut is enough to terrify them. and that fear can turn to anger a new generation radicalized by the war by carrying out drone strikes killing innocent people who are not part of the conflict you just why did the conflict you're giving a reason to people who were not part of the conflict to become part of the conflict . discuss meet me at the americans we are angry and want revenge they have

destroyed our lives my parents my wife my children we own c.n.n. accountable roost in iraq while promising to rein in their use the white house says drones are both legal and effective that's. all that's on. us. when translated by defense that's cold comfort for the victims you see caffein of pakistan. and the u.s. media meantime reporting that classified documents indicate the cia did not always know who they were killing during these attacks in pakistan about one of every four people killed by drones over a fourteen month period three years ago were classified as militants the agency pick that targets using specific behavior patterns prompting questions of whether or not these people were actual security threats some former white house officials

expressed worries that the cia's painted a picture of drone strikes success while ignoring mistakes when innocent people die chris woods from the bureau of investigative journalism he says the agency is reluctant to open up about his drone program with so many civilians reported killed and yet the cia claiming that it's killed no more than fifty or sixty civilians i think there is a need for an open not only an open inquiry but also for the cia to share the information me as one who believes it's killed in places like pakistan president obama's speech the other we did seem to promise more openness but unfortunately we're not seeing signs of just yet in pakistan we now have an incoming government that's making absolutely clear to the united states that it does not want these drone strikes i don't think they're going to stop most of the strikes there in pakistan these days i'm really not related to al qaida to terrorist activities but

really to the war across the border in afghanistan and the drone war has changed quite significantly ten years or so it's been running we should be united states talking about using drones in syria for example we have had colds from iraq and rwanda recently for the u.s. to use drones that so there's a concern among some that the u.s. will start to use these drones as an easy plank in the view of foreign policy. now the constant advances in unmanned aircraft technology are causing worries that the un it's a wrap or two of extra judicial killings kristoff hangs a call for a worldwide suspension of the building and use of new kill a craft that has until the international community can develop concrete rules for its use here out say he told us about the increasing danger of drones deciding to attack without that human monitoring. to say there's not a particular day we will be able to say we have fully autonomy this is merely an

incremental process but they are real really very high levels of autonomy available and in full autonomy maybe they believe in a few years it's important to emphasize the distinction between jones and legal on this robots or laws says still support and with joins you have a you when you do this somebody sitting behind a computer and taking decision to pull the trigger with robots there is no human being in the loop it's a computer that takes a decision these are both forms of unmanned vehicles so there's no human being in the vehicle but tell you the journey so controlled by you can be i think these wide acceptance that drones in themselves he certainly undergo and they can be used in war in the same way that a plane and drop bombs from two thousand feet and with the pilots and the plane down these all of these you need with robots it's something completely different

because you don't have a you need takes a decision it's for that reason many people feel like these things in themselves should be regarded as. so good to have you with us here on out to you today still to come for you in this hour on the program a guantanamo going no web republicans in the u.s. congress well they keep the infamous prison open by blocking the transfer of prisoners cleared for release we speak to the floor of one inmate who has been on hunger strike over his detention without charge over four months. and the u.s. probe taking a swing at swiss bank secrecy later a look at the clampdown on tax evasion and tax avoidance being embraced by global leaders. for another hero naughty for a sixth night running toki witnessed a similar scene clashes leading police on a leash in their water cannons and tear gas on protesters fatality has been

confirmed in the on rest after a man died from head injuries in a hospital activists when the police chiefs responsible for the violent tactics removed and officials to ban the use of tear gas protesters also want all those that have been detained released saying that that could actually and days of riots the prime minister though returning from a trip to north africa later will be expected to do something about the public discontent which is seen demands for him to reverse all of his policies but his arteries are going to get reports out of the one appears to be looking for scapegoats. plugs in tear gas turkey is going through a rough time right now so who's to blame. there is a problem called twitter right now and you can find every kind of law there the thing that is called social media is the biggest trouble for society right now said prime minister. before dissing often african tour and voices of dissent in the.

square as well as many others. but the turkish prime minister had been the main. dismissed these voices as coming from drunkards and extremists the only types of people who turns protests and turn to according to this completely dislikes a position. he take this as a personal offense. he's used to have. agrees from the public for a lot of time because he gained a. waltz of to calm this time probably he didn't think that he didn't assume that there were these the protests would be so big everyone's feelings for the protesters however all mirrored by the people in texas who believe only one has lost touch with reality and cares mostly about one person's opinion his own it was

here being and everybody where people were. trying to resist and people were trying to keep the spark and he was telling to be. saying that there is actually no project here going on and he changed his mind and he said there is of course a project and i will do what i want to do and then the reserve spies spies everywhere and this commentary on the protests the prime minister insisted there are hundreds of thousands of foreign agents working to upset the status quo in the country i don't insist that it's these very agents that have instigated the address in the first place and continue to work among the crowds encouraging dissent in turmoil today's news paper quoted a non named source in the government who claimed authorities have arrested some fifteen foreigners across the country in connection with the protests ironically many of them turned out to be nationals of iran a country which has been on early ones blacklist for quite some time but just

a couple of months ago the prime minister cut a different picture delivering a heartfelt speech on the subject of human rights. freedoms. where there is no justice there is no humanity because there is justice and justice is excluded the place of justice shifted to the man's identity the identity of human bein's to speak it is impossible to claim that people can build a decent life. but in everyone's lately people have been busy putting up barricades to keep police at bay rather than getting a prosperous future for them so it isn't always going to istanbul. and one of our the ones most contentious foreign policy is handling of the syrian conflict our colleague bill dog he spoke with middle east expert and writer he says the reconciliation rhetoric coming from some turkish officials is actually designed to please foreign observers rather than that of the opposition. international

community puts now a lot of potential on the protests especially in east but it doesn't have much to do with the demonstrators and so we can say this because these demonstrations we with this now are not very new with the new ones are the demonstrations since a couple of days and six days now when you start. going on demonstrations in turkey since months right now especially in the south thirty percent the s. and it's about the turkish politics syria that received turkish politics against syria there were many many demonstrations and protests with western media coverage and with western limitation attention so you see i think this is addressed to the european union to us and western for nation but not so much to their own demonstrators just explain briefly why people are unhappy with the foreign policy

of government toward syria what will surprise them. well the general problem is about this public extend it doesn't just quote danger integration in syria it also puts danger into aggression against its own citizens we had around a couple of weeks ago the heart of the tank in the province of hostile to the syrian border which was committed by the slimmest mind you slim if i think with connections to other hideout what we know what knowledge. was going for what he was inviting internation and mercenaries terrorists jihadi simple criminals to turkey gave them shelter there and. military training and military bases a safe haven if you wanted to save like this and send them to syria to fight there this is a problem because these people are not in the cities and the tricks of the turkish citizens went on the street being against this but there was no media coverage

about those protests so there was no nice refer to works its own citizens of this. now you can follow all the latest developments on. the live coverage. on the list opinion as well as the best pictures from the scene. thanks for joining us here on out see us republicans have against president obama's pledge to close guantanamo bay in congress they prevented the use of public money to move detainees many of which have been refusing food for five months in protest of their indefinite detention but lieutenant colonel barry when god who represents one inmate he says obama has the power to release the prisoners but simply isn't

using it. under the national security whatever he can do that with the secretary of defense he does have that power it's time for this ministration to either put up or to at least tell us what's really going to happen the president doesn't have the authority to release men from guantanamo bay to include men like shakur aamer back to london now of the united states hunger strike there's no sign that there's anything in the cohesion going on to sort the hunger strike i mean my client reports that all of his personal possessions are still confiscated toothbrushes so good letters from home his attorney client. privilege to keep up with communicating between each other has all been taken and not returned he asked me he said hey what kind of people voted to fund prison that's ninety five percent full of men who haven't been charged with a crime after eleven and a half years i have to tell you and you only answer for the mystery to me what kind

of person says we don't care if you've done anything you're sitting in guantanamo bay we're just on the ground here in one town i'm ok there's. no change whatsoever and everybody's sort of waiting for washington to jump somewhere so. and you keep up with all the latest updates from the. complete with statements from prison officials. and much much more. as well for example. british police. video. police discover hundreds of illegal immigrant.

these are the. twelve russians will go before a judge. facing charges of. police and they were arrested following protests which ended up in clashes last year in may on the eve of president putin's swearing in ceremony. in the case for. why is the. expectation today.

year ago on may the sixth twenty twelve just twenty four hours before the inauguration of president putin when. government. it's very hard that event back then so probably the biggest violence the russian capital has seen in many years everything was going peaceful back then and still some point of time when some part of the protesters tried to break the police lines and move towards the kremlin in a protest march that's when the violence erupted between the protesters and the police and that was altered in more than eighty people were being injured and several hundred were arrested of course most of them were released almost

immediately after the protests twelve of them were charged by the authorities for provoking the violence for starting the scuffles between them. more than a year on this case has finally reached a court in the most central court and that's where the fate of the twelve will be decided this case has been riddled with control over silage really all this time the opposition has been describing those twelve people accused as political prisoners and have been demanding their release in fact the latest biggest opposition rally the moscow was primarily dedicated to these twelve people accused of inciting riots on may sixth today will be as we expect no stranger to control the sea we are expecting an opposition rally here in front of the central court building as well as another protest stroll as the opposition likes to put it in the red square we have crews of course all across the russian capital and we'll be covering everything all the details as we get them over bringing to us but i'd like

to remind that the court session starts in a little more than three hours from now is around midday moscow time all right. thank you. for now switzerland's culture of secrecy is coming under increased pressure as the u.s. pushes on. in with an investigation into tax evasion for now swiss lawmakers have blocked the government's plan to hand over client data but with the e.u. also knocking on the door the fight is far from over as artie's tesser are sillier reports. the swiss parliament has decided to put on hold a bill that would let swiss banks give the client information to u.s. authorities as part of this tax evasion of the swiss the americans have been attacks this for about two years now and the swiss government has warned its parliament that if it doesn't act quickly enough criminal charges may be leveled against some of its largest banks this is in addition to the latest move to also pursue

a heavy handed approach on its clampdown on tax evasion has decided to start talks with offshore banking that are not members like switzerland to establish an automatic exchange of relevant banking data now with crisis stricken the e.u. and the us having to do with its own a fiscal problems this is a way for governments to rein in the cash back into the government purse was far switzerland is concerned this is a very lucrative market making it the world's largest. offshore account with about two trillion dollars in assets and the question there is with this kind of government pressure of the likes of switzerland will it actually achieve the desired results for people who want to hide their money from the tax man have the will and the financial means and they may simply look elsewhere to park their money reporting from brussels. meanwhile the u.k. prime minister david cameron has taken a tough stance on british tax havens is it part of the leaders of ten u.k.

overseas territories and crown dependencies to london in order to press them for more transparency on tax evasion and will be the main focus of the upcoming g eight summit that's being hosted by the united kingdom this time in fact global wealth hidden abroad in offshore grew by about six percent last year alone reaching eight point five trillion dollars and ahead of the g eight meeting which is expected to crack down on tax avoidance the prime minister says it's critical for britain to get its house in order however critics say camera news well at the end of the day he's simply missing the point. supposing that there are tax havens in a hundred years toy and i assume that some country somewhere will always have a motivation to play fast and loose with the regulation shall we say and be a destination of choice for money whether it's ill gotten gains or not then trade it is going to be market share taken away from the u.k.

economy we seem to some extent of the european union as legislated against finance over the last few years and that the failure of the frank little paris to become financial centers despite you know the interest of the euro thirteen years ago speaks to that if this initiative to go anywhere it has to have the backing of the larger countries in the global financial community there's no real point in the u.k. going it alone making this offer to the g eight and it being rebuffed you know they'll just say well thank you very much but actually we're not going to change our own taxation policy is an interesting enough you know it's the us which seems to be fighting against you know this kind of move. time here on the program will start with millions of americans that are reportedly having that. without even knowing it that the u.s. national security agency has allegedly secretly forced of a rise in one of the nation's biggest phone companies to hand over all of its cold

data it was apparently signed off by a secret court which oversees the surveillance of its own citizens of horizon is also banned from admitting it even handed over the information. up to ten rockets were launched from syria into lebanon hitting the eastern city of baalbeck according to reports another three missiles were launched into a hezbollah controlled area of the same city that's according to a local souls' a syrian rebels are outraged but has ballers fighting on the side of president assad's forces helping him take back their strategic town of qusayr they have threatened to fight the militant group inside lebanon on the arab league also condemning hezbollah as an intervention. u.s. soldier a robot a bale's who is accused of killing sixteen afghan civilians in march last year has pleaded guilty to it means the staff sergeant will now avoid the death penalty for carrying out a massacre of mostly women and children in several villages earlier this week two

british soldiers admitted abusing afghan civilians at a court martial they were accused of indecent conduct towards children as well as racial abuse. the worst floods in a decade continue to deluge parts of central europe thousands of people have been forced from their homes cities of declared states of emergency fifteen killed with nine others missing the latest city to brace itself for the worst is the german town of dresden. are left to subdue a little bit of a number crunching here on r t the financial program prime interest in just a moment. well. science technology innovation all the latest developments from
