pakistan's new elected prime minister once again calls for the u.s. to and drone strikes in the country it would take a look at the many civilian victims of america's war on terror. a major u.s. cell phone networks by a top secret court order around over the phone records of millions of its clients to the national security agency. the bring the turkish prime minister to return to the country to praise demands for him to resign over a brutal police want down on done that left thousands injured.

and this is coming to your life from moscow hello and welcome to the. u.s. drone strikes on pakistani soil must end that's according to the country's new elected prime minister who is once again demanded washington to respect his country's sovereignty this comes amid mounting reports on the many civilian casualties in america's war on terror. some of them her report contains some graphic images. 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 that if i do them in the same arrogance should be able to tell an ordinary person from a television leader what they should know who they're killing of what did we do to deserve this. this is my ex and he did it in their own arctic it's a question echoed by now darren who lost part of his hearing short term memory and nearly his foot when. the drone shockwave was so intense that it threw us outside far from the place where we were sleeping after several minutes there was another

strike and it killed many more people attorneys 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 islamize bought 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 the fragments collected by norbu

a local journalist who spent years documenting the civilian toll of drones especially on children disturbing images of the living and the dead for nor it's personal. to me 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 no drone strikes killing innocent people who are not part of the conflict you're 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 . of course this is make me hate the americans we're angry and want revenge they've destroyed our lives my parents my wife my children we all see america as our worst enemy now while promising to rein in their use the white house says drones are both

legal and effective that's. all on. us. when translated by defense that's cold comfort for the victims you see catherine of r.t. pakistan and while the u.s. authorities claim close only had military targets american media isn't reporting that classified documents indicate the cia did not always know who they were killing during a tox and let's now take a look at some actual numbers there and according to the bureau of investigative journalism up to eight hundred and eighty four civilians have reportedly been killed and it's estimated two hundred children are among these victims meanwhile the number of drone strikes has increased six fold since president obama took office and crosswords from the bureau of investigative journalism says with these

figures in mind there needs to be much more transparency in the drone warfare. 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 information on who it believes it's killed in places like pakistan president obama's speech the other week did seem to promise more openness but unfortunately we don't seeing signs of that just yet in pakistan we now have an incoming government that's making absolutely clear to the united states that it doesn't want these drone strikes i don't think they're going to stop most of that strikes there in pakistan these days are really not related to al qaida and to terrorist activities but really to the war across the border in afghanistan and the drone war has changed quite significantly over the ten years or so it's been running we see

the united states talking about using drones in syria for example we have had coals from iraq and rwanda recently for the u.s. to use drones there so there's a concern among some that the u.s. will start to use these drones as an easy playing in their view of foreign policy resized three some pakistani general talat masood says these are times completely undermine the authority of the pakistani government as well. pakistan has been protesting and politically it has a very negative fallout in this town and it fuse militancy what exactly is happening is that although it may have certain tactical advantage in the sense that you know if pakistan does not have control then the drones at least do at some to some extent may contain the militants but on the political side it lowers the image of the state in the eyes of its people it makes them feel helpless and then

it also ruins the relationship between the u.s. and pakistan when it comes to the use of drones the americans have given the responsibility of using the drones to the cia as far as pakistan is concerned where is the rest of the countries apart from you your men have been given to the pentagon and they have also said that they would use that very discreetly but in the state of pakistan and afghanistan i think they don't even want to own it want to talk of using it you know discreetly millions of americans are having their phone records harvested without their knowledge the white house has confound the u.s. national security agency forced to arise and one of the nation's biggest cell phone providers to hand over its data in bulk so the company has declined to comment on the tone bought and brought me the details and. this was started by the british

newspaper the guardian that managed to obtain documents we'll show you a little extract from those documents from the u.s. national security agency and a secret court there that they've used these documents have taken a small extract to obtain the phone calls of millions of us customers of arisan one of the largest telecommunications companies in the us wanting to call detail records and what are those those records specifically their telephony metadata we're looking at the the the numbers of both parties of the phone call the one making the called one receiving it location data from the call the time of the call and the duration so although the the contents of those calls aren't mentioned. if and if the authorities wanted to they could look at who was calling who where when and for how long that's a lot of data that you can use to try and pinpoint an individual and it's hoovering

up all of that data does whoever their eyes and customers are yeah and how much of a shock this will be for americans it could possibly be a big shock there have been a number of surveillance scandals recently among them just last month the fox news reporter who's emails and phones were monitored to try and get down towards a story that they thought the government thought was based on a state department leak fox very angry about that in their statement they called it downright chilling that this man was was monitored there he is now really was doing his job as they said and also a week before that the department of justice caught having monitored around twenty phone lines of the associated press news agency in the u.s. there suspected they were trying to trace the leak of a story of a foil to al qaeda bomb plot all of this building up. both of those stories

creating a big for a this one probably likely to as well the bush administration admitted this kind of mass gathering of telephone data this is the first instance so the obama administration perhaps continuing something similar it's not known the full extent of this that it that it might get to it is very likely that it could create a lot of anger and fear chakravarty from the freedom association says the government can't secretly spy on people just because they could potentially be criminals these conversations are taking place not just in the u.k. but not just in the u.s. sorry but between the rest it isn't and people outside the u.s. like the u.k. for example so the ramifications go way beyond the borders of that country it sets a bad precedence the u.s. tries to position itself as a need clearly in terms of freedom and when they act like this other states are emboldened to take similar steps like the u.k.

and other countries such as china and iran maybe and even dictatorships around the world we don't that america has an aggressive way of doing surveillance operations within the country and we've known it since the pictures hacked away in two thousand and one what we now know is that this is continue to happen under the obama administration as well there seems to be a huge gap between what we the citizens or american citizens think that the government is allowed to do and the government agencies interpretation of what they are allowed to do and that gap is extremely undemocratic these intrusions are very real they may not be visible but they're very real and that you often hear this argument that surely if you if you've only got something to hide that's when you need to worry but i think that's looking at it backwards isn't it that saying you could be a potential criminal and therefore i'm just going to spy on you anyway just in case you turn out to be a criminal that cannot be the way. an open liberal democracy works can it. and this is all c n n so ahead in the program

a story of how do you read continents outrun the stars and stripes even the americans spent well over three point three trillion dollars on the iraq war it is beijing that's now guessing the biggest slice of the pie but home for the country's oil being shipped to china how that happened a threshold break. i would rather as questions for people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on r.t. question more.

free. free. free. free. free. video for your media. revealed down to our t.v. dot com. you're watching r.t. live from moscow welcome back calls to apologize and study down well grade the prime minister when he returns home after working trip abroad later stay with us as won't premier ed a won out over

a brutal police crackdown on demonstrations that's left thousands injured fresh clashes broke out overnight and on cries police and used more tear gas and water cannons on unarmed activists three people have died in that arrest which began as a small gathering in istanbul but spread like wild fire calls the country in response to unprovoked police brutality despite the largely peaceful nature of the movement etta was branded the demonstrators as foreign box extremists approaches say he's chasing ghosts as a rino going to report. barricades in banners flags and tear gas turkey's going through a rough time right now so who's to blame but i'm going to consider the sincerity of these protests social media has been full of fabricated news baseless claims and accusations against me for days therefore we should hide these people from the trees they are accustomed to that these tactless people are tweeting and messaging that we are victims of violence and drawing police powers are crushing us and the

people who share these retreat these claims are just hundreds of fascists said prime minister go on for dissing often african tour voices of dissent on istanbul's taksim square as well as many other squares in parts and turkey who louder but the turkish prime minister had by then already dismissed these voices as coming from drunkards and extremists the only types of people who attend protests in turkey according to this to completely dislikes a position. he take this as a personal offense. he used he's used to have. agrees from the public for a lot of time because he gained. waltz of to call this time probably he didn't think that he didn't assume that there will be the protests will be so big everyone's feelings for the protesters however are mirrored by the people on texan

who believe only one has lost touch with reality and cares mostly about one person's opinion his own everybody was here being and everybody where people were. trying to resist and people were trying to keep the spark and he was telling that to be argued he was saying that there is absolutely no project here going on and that 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 resurrection of spies spies everywhere and this commentary on the protests the prime minister insisted there are hundreds if not 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 newspaper 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 and freedoms. where there is no justice there is no humanity because there is justice and justice is excluded its place has shifted to man's identity the identity of human beings to speak it is impossible to claim that these people can build a decent life but in everyone's turn lately people have been busy putting up barricades to keep police today rather than getting a prosperous future for themselves it even goes istanbul. all of our news and much more is just a click away for you at all to deal. with some of the standoff it gathered an

enormous amount of data on the talks against the state coming from america that's after beijing was accused of using computer hardware is just stealing u.s. military and commercial secrets meanwhile in the state. escaping with his lawyer a u.s. army sergeant pleads guilty to slaughtering sixteen afghan civilians a notch twenty twelve for the sake of avoiding capital punishment. twelve russians are in court on charges of inciting mass disorder and violence against police they were arrested following protests which under the clashes in may last year on the eve of president putin swearing in ceremony well he's an ex a case following the preliminary hearing. twelve people in the door all accused of inciting riots a year ago in may the sixth went to twelve and they could face up to eight years in prison if they're found guilty back then certainly just twenty four hours before the inauguration of president bush in moscow so probably the biggest violence it

has seen in years everything was going rather smoothly in the anti putin protest in the heart of most go until one part of the protesters attempted to break the police lines and move in a march towards the gravel and that's when the scuffles between the police and the protesters erupted which left more than eighty people injured and more than three hundred were arrested of course most of them were released straight away but twelve of them the police believe that they have enough evidence that these people were inciting riots and that's why this case has been going on for the last year obviously entering its final stage the court hearings in central moscow court now this case has been riddled with controversy of course with the opposition describing these people as political prisoners and demanding them to be released we are seeing something like this today as well there are soldiers there are tickets from both the opposition and the pro-government movements for the first are demanding the release of the prisoners the second are just demanding justice to be so of course we keeping our thumbs here on the ground that will be keeping our

viewers up to date with all the latest details as this court session is progressing . in a raid in the most courageous russian authorities have arrested the leader of a terrorist cell which was reportedly planning an attack on the capital. sitting in jail. far we know that the man's name is you lie. he was arrested this morning and this actually this is a continuance from another operation which was held on the twentieth of may and we're in an anti-terrorist operation and there were two suspected militant militants that were killed and one was detained actually various russian media reported earlier that so you lied of that virus was one of those people apparently he wasn't and he was arrested this morning now in both instances the suspects are accused of planning a series of terrorist acts right here in moscow and but their terrorist affiliations them so far beyond the borders of the russian federation with

authorities saying that the suspects were trains by an internationally recognized terror groups in northern brazil but was there a standard sort of border with pakistan and up going to start at the training involved both ideological instruction and also practically practical training on the use of combat and how to make explosives now speaking off the lockdown led by of who was arrested earlier today what russian national anti-terrorism committee now they claim he disguised himself as a gypsy cab driver or unlicensed a taxi driver and while he was doing that so he was a staking out look ations for potential terrorists. swiss lawmakers are trying to define the country as a way of banking which traditionally involves high levels of secrecy that's in the face of mounting pressure from the u.s. senate you turks evidence to sound scene reports now. 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 americans have been in attacks this week 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 and 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 haven that are not members like switzerland to establish an automatic it's strange but relevant data that would rice's trip to the e.u. and the us having to do with its own the fiscal problems this is a way for governments to rein in that power back to the government first 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 the question there is with this kind of government

pressure what are 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. the u.s. is false learning that it's. no guarantee of financial reward that was revealed in beijing is now winning the race for iraqi oil becoming the country's biggest customer. explain to me just how the chinese were able to. actually now iraq is one of the top produces in the world and china is the biggest purchaser of this and actually nearly half of the oil iraqi oil goes to china actually one point five million barrels a day that equates to actually they want to really extend their presence as well they want to get hold of oil giant exxon mobil's presence in the iraqi fields so they want to expand and if we just go back to before the war during saddam

hussein's time during then there was lots of or sanctions that really affected the oil market because it meant that it was cutoff from the markets and since then the market's been more open and more friendly business environment for the likes of china to take advantage of china did exactly that absolutely but what makes the chinese so attractive as a customer well they've got plenty of money lots of disposable income but really it's the way that they handled the iraqi government they really had a relationship going on the contracts are strict they've dealt with low profits in order to win these billion dollar contracts in the long run and there's lots going on they seem to be very committed in the long run china has set up an airport on the iranian border to actually transport these iraqi workers into the oil fields there's also talk of direct flights going from beijing into iraq into baghdad very soon and in hotels the staff are taken on a rocky accents in arabic in order to impress these chinese executives so does this

all sound like good news or good news for china i would say but some people in the u.s. aren't too happy about it i'm going to quote someone right now is michael makowski he was actually in the bush administration during the time and he's saying we lost our just a paraphrase in just he said the chinese had nothing to do with the war but they've really benefited in terms of finance and all late and air forces all hoping to assure their supplies of us a bit of it of conflict going on there and we know that china has actually benefited in the fact that they're low. that they've given to america the interest rate on those loans has increased because america now other than more we know that they spent three trillion on this war so this wasn't the outcome many were expecting from the two thousand and three invasion junia. up next for you and i would see a big margin on breaking the set. the

school board in batavia illinois has decided to punish one teacher for his bad behavior by putting him on a strict probation play or what did he do to be deserve be part of this probation planted he do select punch a student in the face or to go in some sort of horribly racist or sexist ranted for the class so he just reminded the students that as americans they have the right to not incriminate themselves to put it more simply he told the students that they didn't have to answer a questionable survey about drug and alcohol use and their emotional state since the data from this questionnaire would be sent back to the private company that created it this raises even more privacy issues than just the school knowing about the students personal lives i would like to commend this teacher john dryden for actually going above and beyond and telling the children something they need to dial you know if you're going to live in a society based on individual rights it would help to actually teach children what

those rights are but that's just my opinion. an issue free cretaceous free school which is free range three. six three stooges free. old free books. for your media projects free video done to our teeth dot com. to live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i sent her i had to you know how fabulous. i mean. i'm. really not so. very closely the. worse. we're going to go live now to the. radio guy for
