a roof over their heads as a buying spree. as homes from struggling families. you're watching on c international live from moscow hello and welcome to the program christmas comes but once a year or so for those in the u.k. who cozied up in front of t.v. to watch the queen's christmas speech it probably came as no surprise that it works in the only message on the box and alternative address was delivered by a man who believes there's no reason to stick to the rules. as a story. christmas day here in the u.k. is a sacred tradition it's all about the christmas turkey the family gathering and of course getting around the teddy to watch the queen's speech with your family this

year the queen was wishing brits a merry christmas she spoke about the birth of grandson about the year's achievement spots channel four airing an alternative christmas message from n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden who of course revealed the extent of mass government surveillance programs in the u.s. the u.k. and other western countries and he was speaking today all about privacy and he said that george orwell's one thousand nine hundred eighty four was a real fairy tale compared to the reality that we're living with right now and he said that children born nowadays are really going to grow up with no concept of privacy whatsoever we have sensors in our pockets to track us everywhere we go think about what this means for the privacy of the average person. a child born today will grow up with no conception of privacy at all they'll never know what it means to have a private moment to themselves and recorded on the last song he did end on

a positive note saying that to gather the public can work for a better balance to end mass surveillance and the to remind governments that really if they want to know what the public is thinking they should ask and it's cheaper than spying channel four said that they chose edward snowden for this christmas message because of the extent of the revelations that he has brought to the public this year and the questions that he's raised around democratic society so they're going to be hoping that they will have not just fear as towards questioning that status quo that little bit more by having edward snowden talk to them about privacy today. and america spoke to washington pas journalist and pulitzer prize reports also he was the first to interview snowden when he was granted temporary asylum here in russia barton gellman shared his impressions of one of america's most

wanted he is remarkably sort of at peace with everything he's a manager considerable pressure i must assume but he doesn't show it he is. he's feeling like he did what he set out to do when he when he says that he's accomplished his mission what he means is that he's taking. a very important subject out secret world and and it to the public so that people can decide for themselves where they want to draw the lines instead of having to draw the lines drawn for them. and in the car in the article you mention that when interviewing him his guard never really dropped which i thought was interesting considering you're saying that he was remarkably calm and whatnot i mean did you get the sense that he was sort of constantly worrying work concerned at all about his future which is basically unknown at this point. he doesn't project concern about his future he is what i mean by that he didn't drop his guard is that he has boundaries

for one thing he's a very private person you understand that he is in the news that he has done something very much newsworthy he wants the news to be about the policy the subject the documents themselves he isn't see that he's got any obligation to talk about his personal life and he has natural security concerns so it pays attention to what he said so as not it is not the only one delivering a christmas message on liberty a u.s. civil rights group say to releasing a comedy of easier of santa poking fun at the n.s.a. well should now. with less than a week to twenty four seen a wear something out of the most pivotal news of the outgoing year. and in the latest in our series they probably won't drone warfare in the middle east america's near decade long presence in pakistan has left numerous victims of

strikes by mond croft despite the white house claiming that most of the terrorists human rights groups are raising the alarm on the growing civilian death toll there in the latest incident up to seventeen people were killed at her royal wedding ceremony in yemen. and of reports now on the human price of america's war on terror . 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 it 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 to be 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 and anxiety and lingering fear have pushed him to take up tranquilizer pills and modify that in the same arrogance should be able to tell an ordinary person from a television leader what they should know who they're killing what did we do to deserve this. this isn't my ex any grown arctic it's a question echoed by now dar who lost part of his hearing a 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 islamic bought from the tribal areas they're 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 just 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 shot 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're just why did the conflict. giving a reason to people who were not part of the conflict to become part of the. 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. on.

us. when translated by defense that's cold comfort for the victims. of pakistan. drones have been praised by the obama administration as a surgical weapon allowing them to take out terrorist leaders unsaved in lives of american soldiers but on to drone campaign at no mere believes the official seal of the us and monster trucks his question of will to say the least we're seeing actual legislative bands coming out of countries where drone strikes actually happen the yemeni parliament has asked for a ban on drone strikes the pakistani national assembly passed for about on drone strikes when we hear about the drone strike that happened in pakistan that did end

up getting the second commander in chief of the taliban in pakistan and you know you see everyone saying well you know the drone program is great this happened but we also have to keep in mind that he's been proclaimed killed at least four different times by drone strikes prior to this one so who died in those drone strikes that happened before this one that finally worked i think those are the questions that we need to ask when we think retrospectively about the many times the drones have supposedly killed people. america's war on terror has become a lethal burden for civilians in the country's way it waged in two hours were poor and how then manned airstrikes reap a deadly toll each year in yemen. these loopholes are big it's our here braving the elements in order to stand up to us oil giant chevron. this comes after a massive hunger strike that returned the world's attention to the place that sums

a way the chinese was also seen as a tool through which could be accomplished through independence and searching for south sudan chevron felt that it would be in their best interest if south sudan work to see because it would be easier to exploit the oil in a divided country as opposed to a united country that was a major reason driving the split do the math we're talking about hundreds of thousands of barrels of produced in south sudan and with oil let's say roughly at one hundred dollars a barrel you can see that this is a pretty penny. tentative signs of improvement but they'll start causing rung for the nations who needed bailouts ireland became fast to prove that it can now go it alone but it's buying so gunning for homeowners who've fallen behind during the lean years sealand that some of their family is living under threat of

citizens who have been banned and treat rain a ukrainian parliament member initiated this sad that all these foreigners have been working with the opposition to destabilize the situation in the country however from what we know there aren't any high profile european or even american politicians whom we saw so many times in the end of independence square in kiev and to name just some of them it's victoria nuland the u.s. deputy secretary of state who visited the protests twice and even hundred out some cookies to the protesters as a sign of support the e.u. diplomatic chief catherine ashton who helped talks both with the government and the opposition and even the u.s. hawks senator john mccain who is well known for supporting regime changes he was he had been to key of the so-called orange revolution

a chaotic christmas day for tens of thousands of people that high winds and heavy rain have biters the country leaving many without power around a thousand homes were flooded following most of our creations and southern and central parts of the country as a warning that life threatening storm conditions will persist. a series of attacks across iraq have left at least forty four people dead and schools more injured one bomb exploded near a church in baghdad as christian worship was left a christmas service there the president of the our bloggers association in the u.k. believes the iraqi government is too preoccupied with internal power struggle to deal with sick terror and strife. it was the new dictator in iraq and you have other politicians who want to remove him so that they can stay in this place and what is there is what's called the politics of the process which is really

a sham it is not a real political process because you cannot have a political process when you are losing something like twenty thirty people a day this is a civil war the fault of the end of the day must lie with the government because the government any government anywhere has a duty to protect the people has a duty to protect the society has a duty to make the life of the ordinary people talk a lot of all at least and this is what this government is failing in iraq has suffered its worst year of violence since two thousand and eight of the nine thousand people lost their lives there together with the investigative group iraq body count has a database that gives me the stark numbers documenting the deaths and the time that our ravaging the country it's all that.

and told the bank with more global headlines around such minutes timex that on aussie international whistleblowers journey through central asia especially are watching us and. although i have gone duck hunting a few times i've never seen the duck dynasty t.v. show but gosh i heard about the scandal involving one of the stars of the show phil

robertson who got suspended for making what many consider anti homo sexual comments in an interview this celebrity scandal is creating a lot of arguments about freedom of speech on social networks many people who believe that robertson deserved to be booted from the show for what he said argue that freedom of speech means that robertson can't be arrested by the government for what he said but the any t.v. channel has the right to fire whom they like the thing is that if the situation were reversed and robertson was fired for making pro l.g. p.t. statements then people who are currently defending any right to hire and fire as they please would all be bashing the t.v. channel for violating the stars freedom of speech think cry that firing him would violate his rights and i'm sure some websites would make him into a hero or demand a boycott or closing of a n.d. forever very few people actually believe in freedom of speech for all they just believe in freedom of speech for people who agree with them but that's just my opinion.

do we speak your language or not a day of. school music programs and documentaries in spanish more matters to you breaking news a little turn a tip angles keep these stories. for you here. then try to teach spanish find out more visit i. did a lot of i think the place is. not even if you didn't then christopher as. this is the right place. they call it or. just these particular people we're working with you know fuck all that you know i was. anything. why would they work with these chemicals why would they not work with these kind of mold many of them for money yes and this needs to be said they do this for the money yeah but the i

am why everybody has one thing well known what a liar it's why did you have doing this here i am having the things you say that i was judging. and the man you are judging no not even a good thing this movie is judging that it's ok i'm just saying any should be we need to be concerned that we're not going around places saying we're better than you are because i've had this situation and i fucked off in years to there this is what i don't like seeing this is approaching the one where if you seem out of seeing that you you go to two people you know nothing there though as you start out with them this earlier we can extend then when they have with us as a strong reaction you're like strong reaction when they said it would cost the cables because they didn't know we're going to the right place it was no no you action all these who are you have you have one more then you get a slightly different opinion then you don't get that you only get the response they want to get as opposed to show in the audience what they will say about these

things do you not think that it is an interesting question to see if media around the world will do this and who will and when i'm still reading on thing one that is an interesting question if you can interesting question no today are too scared to publish your i think of the song to me and i don't know what the rest of knowing or even if they say it is there are many other great tears but miss ali what walk walk or what criteria are used to of an. interest newsworthiness know now that you can write a script every news organization that has a website as a web site developer who can just go. like that and they get free hits in google it is very very it is very very profitable to publish cables because you don't have to write cable it's free stories. the point as far as i see is that. there are.
