you know the four year media projects three medio don carty dot com. when the drone hate i was outside with my grandmother everything became dark i was scared a pakistani girl who survived the u.s. drone attack travels to washington to tell congress our home was destroyed and her grandmother was killed. also this week angered by n.s.a. spying and e.u. delegation fails to get explanations from u.s. officials all germany turns to edward snowden to get answers about the tapping of chancellor merkel's phone. what we're seeing you brazil germany firearms and. you know speaking of course in the states is going to repeat itself continuously we hear from n.s.a. leaks reporter glenn greenwald who says u.s. intelligence will continue to harvest data spite outrage from the public and its

allies. and behind the barbed wire are two reports from inside guantanamo prison where over a dozen detainees are still on hunger strike in a bitter protest over their indefinite detention and mistreatment. from our studios in moscow you're watching archie with me and nice and now way we begin with some breaking news this hour police say two russians and chinese are among six people dead after a ferry capsized off the coast of thailand near the popular resort of the thai of twenty people remain unaccounted for there are reports that up to two hundred were on board the boat even though the maximum limit is one hundred and fifty now originally it was claimed only fifty were on the ferry. witnesses say the crowded

boat capsized so quickly people didn't have a chance to jump out it's not yet clear what caused the accident we will bring you more details of live as we get it and you'll find constant updates at our to the dot com. a pakistani family who lost their grandmother in a cia drone strike traveled to washington this week to testify before congress or she's going to can it was at the emotional briefing where family members asked u.s. lawmakers why their home was targeted in the first place. this was the first time actual victims of u.s. drone strikes were in congress and apart from the congressman who initiated this briefing i saw only four other members of congress it's no secret the u.s. congress generally approves of growth strikes so it's very difficult to expect the sudden change of heart even though hart was with these drone victims were appealing to one of the twenty fourth of last year a u.s. drone strike left this pakistani family devastated the nine year old girl and her

thirteen year old brother nearly escaped death that day their sixty seven year old grandmother was killed while picking vegetables in the garden. i no longer love blue skies i prefer the gray skies the drones do not fly when this kinds agree and for a short period of time the mental time and fear eases between this the drones return and so does the fear you know this family has never been abroad out of their home in north waziristan and the father of this family said he looked at the life around here. he wished his children to be able to walk the streets not afraid of being bombed at any moment. my mother was killed my children were injured i'm so glad that people are going to hear our story that's why we came to america i have no idea why our village in my house was targeted. the family came to washington of course hoping to get answers for why they have to live in fear every day i have no

idea why my grandmother was killed when the drone hate i was outside with my grandmother everything became dark i was scared so i started to run then i noticed my hand was bleeding so i tried to clean my hand but not kept coming out but i was very scared so i just kept running we also learned that the u.s. government did not grant these to the lawyer of this family prominent practice any lawyer who has sued the cia in the past on behalf of the victims of drone strikes in pakistan four hundred fifty thousand vocalisation of. see living in a concentration camp where they're being picked on this is off work kind of slow to have shown how long before someone is driving the mess you he and this is how they're being targeted and at the same time they're not really in a position to leave the area the purpose of this briefing was to put a human face to drone strikes there's a short chance that in congress the tragedy of this family will fall on deaf ears

but there is hope that the public will put notice in washington i'm going to check out. now the u.s. claims few civilians have been killed by the three hundred seventy six drone attacks which have been launched over the past decade local reports however suggest at least nine hundred innocent people including up to two hundred children have been killed documentary filmmaker robert greenwald took the story of the raymond family as inspiration for his latest movie and says the public doesn't understand the real consequence of using drones people want to believe in santa claus and they also want to believe that there's a simple solution to these incredibly complicated problems when we started reading that the drones were killing only high value targets represented an imminent threat it doesn't make sense it's just not possible so i think there was a kind of hopefulness yes finally we found

a magic pill which is part of it some of it is the fact that american soldiers warrant there so people said it doesn't matter as important is that you know the family is speaking to all kinds of americans people who have a mother will have a father and who look at them and can't justify the killing that we've done and then you have this extraordinary militarily industrial electoral complex bipartisan that agrees that the way to solve problems is by invading occupying and droning we have to change all of our. and the drone campaign in bangor said may have thwarted a chance for peace u.s. strike killed alabama leader in pakistan just as the government was prepared to start negotiations with details coming up later in the program. a group of diplomats who traveled to washington this week seeking explanations about the n.s.a. spying activities left without answers the m.e.p.

delegation complained the u.s. provided no clarification over eavesdropping on world leaders and whether the white house had any knowledge of it they described america's response as feeble and warned it could aggravate relations berlin specifically has been angered by the tapping of chancellor angela merkel's phone germany is considering asking the man behind all these leaks edward snowden to help explain what happened a german a green m.p. met the whistleblower in moscow to ask him to give evidence to parliament. he would be done i think it's important to work together with mr snowden rather than putting him in prison we'd like more clarity on these allegations and we want to make sure something like this doesn't happen again snowden worked for many years for the cia and n.s.a. so i'm sure you could tell us everything we need to know about the leaked documents because as we've seen the n.s.a. has been very scarce with providing information i also think that the organization

including n.s.a. chief keith alexander aren't always being truthful they once claimed they'll never break german laws on their surveillance operations but tapping the chancellor's phone is not legal that's why i have trouble trusting u.s. intelligence officials. the n.s.a. revelations have triggered something of a blame game in washington secretary of state john kerry pointed a finger at the intelligence services claiming the n.s.a. ran certain operations without letting the white house know. so the issue that they get it is go to the other. side of all that is there are those that are over the border the logar. referring there to spying by autopilot while the head of the n.s.a. said the contrary it's policy makers not the intelligence services selecting targets and journalist glenn greenwald who's been releasing snowden's leaks says despite the scandal the n.s.a.

will not scale back its activities. in brazil germany and france. and of course the united states is going to repeat itself continuously for the next several weeks or months and almost every country around the world to be very clear objective review is to not just go out grow this but to keep it for as long as they can and so they can any time target if you're a citizen of spain or anyone else you learn everything they've been doing in terms of they've. had to argue dot com for more reaction and opinion on and say leaks including an interview with an encryption specialist who talks about his mission to resist spying and bring the privacy back. after eight months over a dozen guantanamo bay detainees remain on hunger strike in protest at their indefinite detention and the use of torture the inmates are being force fed in a brutal procedure that the u.s.

military continues to defend our cities anastasio turkana sent this report from inside the prison center. every morning at eight am the u.s. national anthem erupts across the beast that holds america's most scandalous prison no one likes to be spit on no one wants to have their own on torture hunger strikes and suicides have marred this place since two thousand and two and they're human beings after all they're there's no reason to expect that they enjoy being here you know we pretend otherwise prisoners held indefinitely in the name of the never ending war on terror whether they're innocent or guilty is not our job right now we have the court system determined that in just over a decade a total of seven hundred seventy nine prisoners the majority released without charges today one hundred sixty four remain over half of them cleared for release but still kept locked up. on the other side of the barbed wire.

life is a blast. furnace and water and it's nice there's nothing really bad about here just like any common american town now is awfully scared to come here but i mean it's absolutely beautiful place and you get around other stuff getting around the other stuff is not hard a lot of what goes on here is kept under a thick veil of denial and secrecy delta house is a hospital and library and this is also a place where patients are force fed and even though the hunger strike is largely and officially said to be over we know that at least fifteen people are continually being force fed here today a tube is passed down through a person's nostril and pushed all the way down to their stomach before it's passed down the nose we lubricate it and we give the patient a choice that they want to have. which is the agent. area or if they want to lubricate the tube.

most of our patients have been using all of the will. in fact some of our patients are so used to this they will. described which nostril they want this while major world medical bodies are in agreement that force feeding is not ethical and should not be practiced the force feeding them i've got my clients of experience to guantanamo they've certainly described the storage or the restraint chair that they're strapped into they actually call the torture chair never force feeding takes up to forty five minutes and is performed twice a day the patients that had the civilian world have said it feel strange i've never heard insisting on. i have not heard that good move fishes are beyond nonchalant about the highly criticized practice you might feel differently from the way i might feel uncomfortable has been the most of it i have heard but they don't even believe in what this thing anyway because they know it sounds stupid i volunteer that the procedure be demonstrated on me request a client the prisoners who've not met one another and speak different languages

keep saying the same thing that we were tortured fused. to the chair legs to the ground. strap across and they forced in a tube into our noses never in thirteen years have detainees been allowed to speak directly to a journalist while remaining at get most only leaking statements through lawyers they would love nothing more than to sit down with journalist and just tell them you know about their lives but communicating seems to only occur here if someone was it a point where maybe they had been verbalizing a lot of hopelessness we were immediately intervening and trying to assist that person to make sure that there wasn't any thoughts of maybe wanting to harm themselves or in their lives with charts like these often used to pinpoint patients despair you'll ask them how do you feel right now and they'll be able to point to it we have not had a patient in this area. thank you meanwhile six suicides and dozens of suicide

attempts have taken place at the detention facility we haven't seen any autopsies the u.s. government hasn't released any formal reports or findings we're now outside two active camps at guantanamo camp five old single cells where the so-called less compliant detainees are held camp number six is one filled with communal cells when officials deem that detainees have behaved better there will be awarded by being allowed to live in groups while detainees are kept away from us what we witness are clean empty prison cells with cozy pajamas colgate toothpaste and maximum security shampoos paraded in front of journalists as proof everything is so much better here than any silly horror stories we all have heard of. cuba. still ahead for you this hour a toxic path to disarmament the syrian government just modeled its chemical weapons production facilities but the whole process hangs in the balance while some rebel

groups refuse to take part in the process. of drugs some of the sixty percent of imports came from illegal fishing. the european union is ironically taking fish from some of the poorest nations on earth so this is a very serious and very urgent problem that needs immediate international action. on the territorial waters they fish they load the fish into the ships and leave. illegal fishing just taking the bread out of our mouths.

economic up down to the final. day the longer the old saying i and the rest of life join me they will be everywhere. welcome back you're watching our team this week syria met the first ambitious deadline passed to chemical disarmament it has successfully dismantled the facility is used to produce toxic weapons but the tough task of eliminating the existing stockpiles lays ahead made harder by the war that continues to rage artie's policy reports from damascus dangerous and dirty that's how the nobel prize committee described the work of chemical weapons inspectors inside syria not to mention

they'd be tight deadline october twenty five damascus provides a detailed plan of its chemical weapons stockpiles done october twenty seven foreign inspectors visited or declared sites missed. syria finishes destroying all equipment used in the production and mixing of poison gas and nerve agents done we eliminate. whatever we can but you know this is a very complicated process complications filled by so called security concerns and that's the reason why one deadline already has been missed one of the biggest problems the team faces is how to access sites in rebel controlled areas so far the rebels have been unwilling to cooperate foreign inspectors have managed to visit twenty one of twenty three sites and although they haven't verbally blamed the rebels damascus insists it's doing its share until now. those. sites being visited are under government control and we hope those who are

controlling. the group still them to implement what they are expected to implement it's the most difficult mission if undertaken by the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons destroying a country's chemical weapons stockpile in the midst of a civil war. syria actually stopped producing chemical weapons in one thousand nine hundred eight as a possessed alternatives that can be a strategic substitution and are not in conflict with international law but none of this answers the reason why foreign inspectors are in damascus in the first place a chemical attack on august twenty first in which hundreds of people were killed off two rockets with sarin gas were fired at damascus as suburbs those responsible are still at large the next deadline in the destruction of syria's chemical weapons program is the middle of next year by then damascus must have destroyed or removed its entire stockpile and ambitious timeline in very difficult circumstances policy

r.t. damascus. some opposition groups stand accused of trying to hamper the russia u.s. brokered disarmament process and middle east analysts are minor on the believes the syrian government is happy to get rid of its chemical weapons because it removes an excuse for outside intervention there is that instead rebels have some their hands on some chemical weapons we've certainly seen in iraq and turkey rebels being apprehended with chemical agents components of chemical weapons in their possession . really important point and this is something i heard from a syrian government official earlier this year the syrian government has for some time now viewed chemical weapons as a liability and a burden precisely for these reasons because potentially rebels could get their hands on small amounts of these chemical agents and use them across the border in israel or turkey to then justify a military attack against the syrian government so they have been quite pleased

that the international community has come together to in fact to rid them of these weapons so that excuse no longer exists. we've always got more stories waiting for you on our website including facing up to reality the operator of japan's crippled fukushima nuclear plant is forced to turn to the u.s. for help in cleaning up the dangerous facility more details and archie dot com will work closely following the situation in and around the plant. was a giant party boats the secret behind google's floating structures in san francisco bay is revealed the four story high barges will travel up and down america's coastline promoting the new wearable bold glasses and the details head to our web site. the peace process in pakistan has been do wear out after a u.s. drone strike killed the country's taliban leader this week and happened just a day before a government tell a great delegation it was set to start negotiations with the group the country is

now on the highest security alert over fears militants could retaliate pakistan's interior minister accused washington of sabotaging efforts to end violence and a local expert told us he believes it's the pakistani people who will pay the price the prime minister of pakistan was in washington d.c. only back and he had spoken to president obama taken him into confidence regarding the dialogue process and it also made a request for the drone attacks to stop because we. had made it a precondition the drone attacks must come to an end before they come to the dialogue be able but instead of the drone attacks being stop big continued so i knew what he was going to sell for it is going to be the people of pakistan not the u.s. the united states does not have the right to be judge jury and executor all rolled into one without any authority. the french government roads eco taxes hit a nerve with the public as thousands hit the streets calling for it to be scrapped

could have you care home was shut down after had violated eight essential guidelines of the care quality commission or c.q. see a recent coroner's report found that there was institutionalized abuse throughout the whole of the coroner ruled that neglect had led to the deaths of five elderly people but none of these would have come to light if not for the decision of one of their staff to blow the whistle of what was going on inside it was a very tough decision i didn't come home and do it lightly it is the wrong thing to do and they all ring the place. but and not just the why couldn't going to work every day. lisa martin was working as a business administration manager would always give you actually lead to an inquest and eventual closure of the home she was later made redundant that's something she didn't expect and she's been looking for a job since how do you survive right without. trying to save his. life all. age and children.

before she became a teacher parents and found out about this demand that she be fired because her past was inappropriate and that it was a distraction the classroom well this was something she did in the past which was legal says that i mean if you pose for playboy you are forbidden to work in the normal world also as a former teenage boy i can tell you that any young attractive teacher will cause a distraction with the boys and wolf you can fire people for being distracting that when they have to fire every teacher with a handicap or abnormal appearance on the other hand though teachers are supposed to be people for children to respect and to look up to and when your spiritual teachers warned us so of the good stuff for money to playboy it is a lot harder respect that sort of person and it sure isn't a good example for my daughter this is actually very complex issue but i can say is that you should really try to fight the temptation to make quick money with some nude photos it could come back to haunt you but that's just my opinion.
