on screen online international news coming from moscow this is with you twenty four hours a day. u.s. drone strikes on pakistani soil must end that is according to the country's newly elected prime minister who's once again demanded washington respects his country's sovereignty this comes amid mounting reports of the many civilian casualties in america's war on terror. met some of them and 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 in 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 or we are simple villagers who are stuck in a war that we didn't ask for it's a hopeless feeling bored to death is above our heads all the time. although the attack took place three years ago i mean new laws 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 americans should be able to tell an ordinary person from a taliban leader whether they should know who they're killing what did we do to deserve this. this isn't my. drone arctic it's a question echoed by now dar who lost part of his hearing his 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 built 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 four smuggled to islam about 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 nor but

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 its personal. enemies. 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 the 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 are just widening 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 made me hate the americans we are 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. on. us. when translated by defense that's cold comfort for the victims. of pakistan and while the u.s. authorities claim drones only hit military targets american media has been reporting that classified documents indicate the cia did not always know who they were killing during attacks let's take a look at some actual numbers here on the screen according to the bureau of investigative journalism up to eight hundred eighty four civilians have reportedly been killed 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 chris woods from the bureau of investing in journalism says with these

figures in mind the needs to be much more transparency in 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 the information needed 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 see 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 i'm really not related to al qaeda and to those 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 colds

from iraq and wonder 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 their view of foreign policy steven he's a lecturer at stanford law school and co-author of living under drones he told me how washington's war on terror is perceived on the ground in pakistan. i mean the individuals that we spoke to talk to us of feeling as though they were in a state of war and this is very different from how the u.s. typically describes a drone program in international humanitarian law there are a number of conditions that have to be met before you can claim that we are out of war the american population is led to believe that the us is currently ending all of its military engagements or its war its war efforts in afghanistan iraq elsewhere and unfortunately though the people in pakistan certainly don't perceive that to be the case in their country and if we are behaving as though we were at

war with pakistan we're at war with with elements in pakistan then we have to then that does a whole different paradigm from what we're seeing as as the american population. the obama administration has acknowledged it is collecting telephone records from at least one cell phone and provide a britain's guardian newspaper a name the network has been rising in its report auntie's going to put not has more on this. senior officials are defending the practice as necessary to protect americans against terrorist threat now this marks the first time that u.s. present barack obama has approved for the communication records of millions of u.s. citizens to be collected indiscriminately and in bulk regardless of whether any of those people are suspected of any wrongdoing secret foreign intelligence surveillance court order which was first revealed by the guardian was signed on april twenty fifth and it requires of horizon to produce the daily phone records of its customers now the telephone records being handed over to the national security

agency indicate the numbers of both parties on every call the location data the call duration unique identifiers and the time duration of all the calls whether they're made in the u.s. or made overseas now the order does not request that the contents to the contents of the calls be disclosed but for a rise in declined our request for comment and that's probably because the secret court order bans of arisan from disclosing any information to anyone other than their own employees that are needed to comply with this secret surveillance operation under the obama administration now we should also mention that senior officials for the obama administration only made their admission after the guardian newspaper published the story and the classified order on its website that court order is marked top secret and it is due to expire on july nineteenth a less it's renewed but we are now finding out that apparently this top secret

court order has been pushed upon verizon dating back to two thousand and six that this appears to be something that is being carried over from bush to obama approved by obama and it's also a revelation that comes on the heels of many other scandals that have been concerning the obama administration we have been reporting about the fact that the department of justice while. we was secretly following the calls of reporters and journalists at the associated press there was also a warrant that the obama administration filed to obtain the e-mails and phone calls of fox news reporter and it seems as though these journalists in the u.s. are being targeted or surveilled by the u.s. government now because the u.s. government is trying to find out who is leaking top classified information and i'm sure there's going to be a lot of backlash coming from the citizens thread throughout the day and the days i

had made a point not that i'm not joined live by j.d. to chile he's the managing editor at reason twenty four seven news are you of a rise in account holder and if you are would you be thinking about changing your provider no i'm not of the old earn as much as i'd like to think the only version is involved in the i'm afraid of my own carrier and probably all the other carriers in the united states are also involved this one document recently to move close to rosen but we know that after the bush administration as many carriers as the as the government could scoop up or been forced participate there's no reason to believe that's not continuing we have one doc unplug rise and there's probably a host of them applying to other providers that are out there but the data being collected by the agency just concerns the duration the time of the call the telephone numbers involved not actually the content of the conversations is that sort of information anything to be worried about being divulged. well it depends on

whether you want the government to know who you talk to her frequently it's off of them and from where you talk to them and your own identity that information can be misused it does identify you going to dinner for your political sit and then if you're a man to situations it can subject you to blackmail and it certainly could be misused by the government even if you're not doing anything that's legally questionable it also can then open you up to having the actual conversation contents turned over to the government depending upon how suspicious the government gets of you because of who you are talking to and you're a journalist as we all know journalists talk to people and be a bit sketchy from time to time and certainly arouse the interest of government officials but of course the white house is saying this is a critical tool in protecting the nation's security if people have got nothing to hide and you say there is a danger of course some information person information being leaked out but if he really have nothing to hide that is of course something that could threaten and you're a terrorist for example threaten the nation's security then surely it is something that is very necessary now isn't it bearing in mind people will be accusing the

government saying why didn't you stop the boston terror bombings for example well u.s. politicians are always subject to criticism for not having anticipated the untested hateable after the fact but every time the government does something it insists that it's absolutely critical that the world can't continue unless it does that we all have something to hide our friends or political associations or finances do you really want do you really trust a government that six that it's tax collectors on his political opponents that's the prosecutor or at least investigates journalists do you really trust those government officials with the details of your personal communications because as a said even if you're not doing anything illegal you may be doing something that that arouse government officials official interests and can be misused by them against you. the fact is that many of these phone calls it's not just domestic phone calls being monitored but also those coming into the states from abroad what sort of impact globally could this. well this could have an impact on foreign

activist for instance if you will head of non-governmental organizations overseas people political activists overseas who are being given support and advice by americans and they're in countries working against governments that have contact with the united states government it means very easy then for the u.s. government would benefit by whose activists are contacting who they are and turn it over to our own friendly governments oversee it will friendly governments the u.s. authoritarian governments over seas for use against their own people and just briefly you said this could be in effect the tip of the iceberg this only came to light when the report came out the government of course didn't say anything about it happening before what do you see the future of surveillance in people's privacy now in the country just briefly what is surveillance scrutiny snooping has been increasing in recent years over the last decade and it really hasn't mattered under which parties and power both democrats and republicans have increased their surveillance powers to the extent they possibly can unless people push back very

very strongly this is going to continue there's no particular reason to think that the politicians in office now for defending these policies are going to really surrender them on this that forced really interesting here thought thank you very much indeed j.d. to chile from reason twenty four seventies in arizona in the state thanks very much indeed for being with us on our thing thank you we're coming to you live from the russian capital twenty four hours a day more news after a short break stay with us this is. but since the sister took him for our target specifically to make sure that. innocent. if you go into a conflict like this. the number of. the reason why these results are such targets was because. very procedure.

calls to apologize and greet the turkish prime minister when he returns home after

working trip abroad later today. out over a brutal police crackdown on demonstrations that's left. fresh clashes broke out overnight and police. activists three people have died in the armrest which began as a small gathering in an all but spread like wildfire across the country in response to police brutality the peaceful nature of the movement branded the demonstrators as foreign backed extremists a protest to say he is chasing ghosts. now reports. there are kids in banners flags and tear gas turkey is 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 dying police panzers 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 and parks in 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 to use either 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 conquer 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 this park and he was telling that we are good he was saying that there is actually no project here going on and then he changed his mind and he said there is of course a project. and i will do what i want to do and then there were their share of spies spies everywhere and this commentary on the protest 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 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 earlier 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 turkey lately people have been busy putting up barricades to keep police today rather than building a prosperous future for themselves it even goes corteen istanbul.

political expert every door as skinner i spoke to me to learn what he believes for the rest could potentially pave the way for a military coup in turkey. many generals and even former chief of staff of turkey are in prison now i mean this is a very special situation when they are waiting for the developments because the army will take control although if there will be more serious disturbances their way they may be the prime minister and the president will start negotiating with the demonstrators maybe it will be some peace in process i mean they're still waiting for something good to happen but if instead of negotiating with his own people the prime minister will keep conveying to them he's tough message even storing them up more then the you will see next week a week after of some saying from the army and turkey as you know it has a culture all kind of fiction military regime democracy democracy military these

things happen to them in the past and nobody will be surprised if it will happen again now. all of the news and much more is just a click away at all t.v. dot com a website. says it gathered and enormous amount of data on hacker attacks against the state coming from america itself to beijing was accused of using computer hackers to steal u.s. military and commercial secrets. in the states escaping with his life. slaughtering sixteen afghan civilians in march twenty twelve for the sake of avoiding capital punishment. on a website at the moment one of the most clinton gatherings in the world seems to be lifting the veil of secrecy the bill of a group is famously shy of press attention but this year its annual inundated with reporters from some of the world's top media outlets sarah first went to what

finance and to try and find out what the world's most powerful group might be talking about. welcome to build the burg twenty thirteen is the gathering of world leaders and is taking place here in what fit in the way the exclusive hotel you can see about a quarter of a mile in the distance there and perhaps not the most glamorous of locations for the hundred and forty delegates who are expected to attend among them some big names we've got the chancellor george osborne we've got his labor council part of balls as well as the former u.s. secretary of state henry kissinger got the former head of the cia david petraeus not of course to forget the heads of all the noun isn't and b.p. and goldman sachs and you get the idea now delegates famously don't disclose details of what happens behind closed doors and what's discussed fueling the conspiracy theories behind those doors plots for world domination this year has

bills burke gone mainstream because for the first time ever we had some contact and speak to me more about that i'm joined by charlie skelton to parents the campaign of covering this closely for a number of years now break it down for us and you know kind of separate the conspiracy theory from what we actually do you know because there are talks of course the world domination but what actually does happen at these. workers and what goes on out here is a growing frustration that the media relation between discreet and the press and public is so poor we are assaulting the builder back group with shearing why we're shooting right. back you know her. there's a lot of unhappiness that there's such a huge operation you know heads of banks and heads of state and you know very very wealthy people and a lot of you know the public very concerned that there's a lot of money in policing going into this meeting that you have. money coming

through charity. police to keep the public away. from a conference which is being held in the name of public education doesn't really make much sense thank you very much for joining us so it's an important first that's whether any more will be revealed during the three day conference about what exactly does get discussed amongst world leaders remains to be seen but we'll of course be following this story very closely for you from here in what fit in the surface r.t. . about with a news team with more news for you a half an hour from now in the meantime multis oksana boyko takes on u.s. foreign policy in. part this after the break. the school board in batavia illinois has decided to punish one teacher for his bad

behavior by putting him on a strict probation player what did he do to be deserve being part of this probation plan to do select punch a student in the face or to go in some sort of horribly racist or sexist ranted for the class no 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.

hello and welcome to worlds apart there's been a lot of talk about the need for russia and the united states to move beyond the cold war mentality but is it really possible communism is long gone but the ideological rift between the two nations remains and is growing have reached a point when the differences have already become irreconcilable well to discuss that i'm now joined by a dana back her senior republican on the house foreign affairs committee congressman that welcome to moscow there's been some reports in american media that

this visit was facilitated by no other than actually steven seagal is that true. well i actually planned this codel a number of months ago but stevenson go who's an old friend of mine when he heard that i was going was able to facilitate some of our meetings what does it really say about the nature of fierce russian relationship i'm such an unlikely cultural ambassador as mr seagal had to intervene to facilitate this high level meeting dealing with such an important issue as terrorism isn't that absurd absurd i think it's great i mean it's triffids look how open a society that reflects i mean we want the bureaucracy the bureaucracy to control everything we want or meetings between elected officials only to be done when the bureaucrats will say that's why when i would argue that the one have a working relationship that would not involve or would not require the facilitation

of somebody like their will to go for example if he wasn't there then well i did i totally disagree with you i think there's nothing wrong but i work for an actor who became president and states ronald reagan they were always saying oh elise just an actor well you know there's nothing wrong with with the actors profession so even with a cigar may have presidential ambitions i don't think is presidential ambitions but i think he's got a lot of heart and soul in terms of the things he believes in but let's go straight to the nature of the current here special relationship and some would argue. very frosty are heard people saying that we are not entering a new era similar to be called why would you agree but that yeah i agree with that i think of unless we do something to get things going in the right direction that we are going to. enter into a narrow it were.
