pakistan raises alarm on america's drone campaign which has taken hundreds of innocent lives despite u.s. claims that very few civilians and come under fire. when a drone hate i was outside with my grandmother everything that came down i was scared a pakistani girl who survived a u.s. drone attack travels to washington to tell congress how her home was destroyed and her grandmother killed. the e.u. is not satisfied with washington's explanation of n.s.a. surveillance allegations germany wants edward snowden himself to shed some light on reports of its chancellor's phone being tapped. brazil germany. and speed of course in the united states

is going to repeat itself archies probably video agency speaks to n.s.a. leaks reporter glenn greenwald who is skeptical that america will stop its surveillance anytime soon. and behind the barbed wire our t. travels to the notorious guantanamo bay detention camp where the military staff denies that to the facilities it dark reputation marred by alleged torture and suicides is anywhere close to reality. a pakistani family that witnessed a cia drone strike which killed their grandmother headed to washington this week to testify before congress is going to shoot you can was at the emotional briefing where family members asked u.s. lawmakers why their home was targeted in the deadly attack. 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. only approves of gross strikes so it's very difficult to expect a sudden change of heart even though hard was what these drone victims were appealing through on a covert twenty fourth of last year a u.s. drone strike left this pakistani family devastated a nine year old girl and her thirteen year old brother nearly escaped death that day their sixty seven year old grandmother was killed that's the full pardon. i no longer love blue skies i prefer the gray skies the drones do not fly when the skies are gray and for a short period of time the mental time and fear eases but when this kind of run 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 are injured i'm so glad that people are going to hear our story that's why we came to america they have no idea why our village in my house to talk to. 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. went to turn here i was outside with my grandmother everything became dark i was scared so i started to run and 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 to the lawyer of this family a prominent pakistani warrior who has sued the cia in the past on behalf or for the victims of drone strikes in pakistan four hundred fifty thousand vocalisation of.

you in a concentration camp. being picked up on the issues of what kind of. if someone has long for someone driving. s.u.v.s. but this is how they're being targeted and at the same time to nor to be 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 corporate notice in washington i'm going to check out. according to the u.s. the three hundred seventy six a drone attacks which have been carried out over the past a decade have claimed few civilian lives but local reports indicate at least nine hundred innocent people including two hundred children have been killed in pakistan documentary filmmaker robert greenwald took the story of the ramón family as inspiration for his latest movie and says the public just doesn't understand the

consequences of drones. 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 are represented in 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 families seeking 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. well this week of the u.s. drone program has also dealt a blow to the peace process in the country a strike killed the country's taliban leader just a day before a government delegation was to set was set to start negotiations with the group the nation is now on high security alert over fears militants could retaliate pakistan's interior minister accused washington of sabotaging efforts to end of violence and 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 a week 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 but 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 suffer it is going to be the people of pakistan and not the u.s. the united states does not have the right to be judge jury and executors not of all rolled into one without any authority. and delegation and a separate group from germany were in washington this week to try and find out more about the n.s.a.'s alleged spying activities but the diplomats and m.e.p. is did not get the answers they were looking for the e.u. group failed to get any clarification on reports that world leaders were spied on and whether or not the white house knew about it it remains to be seen what actions europe will now take after relations with washington took a serious hit germany has been fuming over allegations that angle of merkel's phone could have been tapped since two thousand and two three years before she became chancellor one of the country's m.p.'s wants edward snowden himself to testify on the matter because he doesn't trust u.s. intelligence officials. basically. 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 he 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. american security officials and policymakers have been placing the blame on each other over who is responsible for organized global surveillance here is u.s. secretary of state john kerry explaining why the white house didn't know what exactly the n.s.a.

is doing. so they have a. lot of the other. technology is there it is there over the course of a lawyer. now that statement does not match up with the explanation given by the n.s.a. chief keef alexander said his agency was being told who to spy on by policymakers including u.s. ambassadors despite the ongoing surveillance scandal and what seems like a rift between u.s. intelligence and the state department nothing will change that's what the man who has been releasing viz n.s.a. leaks glenn greenwald told artie's roughly video agencies. who she knew brazil germany. india and speed of course in the united states is going to repeat itself continuously for the next several weeks or months in almost every country around the world be very clear objective of the cia is to not just go over

this but to keep it for as long as they can so the big any time target a particular citizen whose behavior you want also or everything they've been doing in terms of who they've been communicating with edward snowden meanwhile explained why he gave out these n.s.a. documents in the first place let's take a look at his manifesto of truth published in germany spiegel magazine as the name implies the n.s.a. whistleblower insisted that people who tell the truth are not committing any crime but some governments don't feel that way according to snowden he blames them for unprecedented campaigns of persecution in response to the leaks the manifesto says that society has a moral obligation to ensure that there are laws which limit surveillance and protect human rights ultimately snowden is glad his leaks led to a debate over surveillance which could create reforms and he was a whistleblower within m i five and thinks the problem is that current legislation isn't keeping up with advanced spying technology. who is actually breaking the law

here because all the ground that the spy agency save alan legally allowed to smile next is to appear to be very. banks that we're seeing in the last decade has been here technological scale over the spying counts by and the new technology has allowed this to happen and the laws which is supposed to be democratic and we see how we are spied on are just not keeping up the twentieth century noise and now we're getting the twenty first century tech. later in the program state of denial. 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 and just in just a few minutes excuse me we report from the notorious guantanamo bay detention center where over a dozen inmates are undergoing a daily torture assault force feeding procedure described by the staff there as just merely uncomfortable plus. syria takes one more step toward being

free of chemical weapons with the successful destruction of all its production facilities after the break we take a look at the disarmament challenges that still lie ahead for the war torn country . well. it's technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got the future covered. wealthy british. it's time to. find out what's really happening to the global economy. global financial headline

news. reports. more news today. these are the images. from the streets of canada. and welcome back you're watching the weekly here on our team eight months in over a dozen guantanamo bay inmates still remain on hunger strike protesting their indefinite detention and the alleged to use of torture camps staff is force feeding of those refusing to eat and procedure that has been described as brutal and

extremely painful. traveled to the notorious prison to investigate what is really happening there. every morning at eight am the u.s. national anthem erupts across the beast that holds america's most scandalous president 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. there is 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 camp delta house as 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 do they want to have the key which is the agent. area or if they want to lubricate the tube.

most of our patients have been using all of you seem to like it 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 for speeding 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 it as torture the restraint chair that they're strapped into they actually call the torture chair in arabic for speeding takes up to forty five minutes and is performed twice a day the pieces of 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 it uncomfortable has been the most of it i have heard but they don't even believe in what they're saying any more because they know it sounds stupid i volunteer that the procedure be demonstrated on me requesting the prisoners who've

not met one another and speak different languages keep saying the same thing that we were tortured used. tied. to the chair legs to the ground they. struck 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 it gives only leaking statements through the years they would love nothing more than to sit down with journalist and just tell them you know about their daily 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 asked 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 inside 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 behave better there will be boarded by being allowed to live in groups while detainees are kept away from 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 and. cuba. we've always got more news waiting for you on our website including the fact that britain has scrapped

a plan to force people from india pakistan and some african countries to make a cash deposit over three thousand pounds for research on our website you can read more on that policy it caused outrage at home and abroad. plus new name new life airline proposed for some swedish citizens to change their name to close heidi and in return would help them set up a new life in berlin you can head to our. to our why this wacky ad campaign failed . this week syria passed a milestone in its chemical disarmament successfully destroying on time all the production facilities elation of all its existing stockpiles is now scheduled to be completed by the end of june but as our policy or reports from damascus meeting that deadline could be a major challenge. dangerous and dirty that's how the nobel prize committee described the work of chemical weapons inspectors inside syria not to mention

a brutally 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 must. 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 the process complications fueled 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 for an 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. those.

sites being visited 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 ever 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 fired at damascus as suburbs those responsible hostility 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. the head of the syrian opposition coalition says they will only attend the geneva peace conference if there is a set time frame for bashar al assad to step down and if iran is not present at the talks rebel groups have been accused of hampering the disarmament efforts middle east analyst explains why they may be against damascus is apparent will to cooperate on the chemical weapons issue. there is that but 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 first 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. more world news this hour at least nine people have been killed by a string of insurgent attacks targeting security forces across iraq in the central city of book three police officers died and scores were injured after three suicide bombers blew themselves up one after another the surge in violence over recent months has claimed thousands of victims with authorities struggling to contain the bloodshed despite wide ranging operations and tightened security. at least six people including one child have died after a ferry capsized off the coast of thailand near the popular resort of. twenty people remain unaccounted for there are reports that up to two hundred were onboard even though the maximum capacity is only one hundred fifty the accident is being blamed on an engine problem which forced passengers to rush to one side of the
