torture was a shameful part of american history they've as the leader of the executive branch of the nation he could do a lot to punish those who did the torture then and prevent it from happening again in the future but if i do obama this is all just a bunch of sweet talk but that's just my opinion. the slippery slope doesn't only concern the use made of these machines. technological evolutions give these weapons more and more sophisticated capabilities.
9:30 am
to see ram is a cannon that destroys missiles while they're flying. it is fully automated and decides to shoot by itself. we can turn the machine on we can turn the machine off while the machine is operating we can stop it but when you have a missile coming in your reaction time is what i call the mid-course were okra you have less than a second to decide and if you're wrong you've not only killed yourself but all your friends and soldiers around you. tony is the new wave it is the word in the mouth of every specialist these robots are they so skilled that they will eventually become independent and execute missions without human input. one.
9:31 am
no sharky is a professor of robotics field university in the u.k. . he knows what military researchers are preparing. what concerns me most about the drones is not the fight not the currently. in the loop drones but it's the future plans towards autonomy and the means drones that work on their own select their own targets and kill them and this seems that these are going to be required in the future if you're fighting a sophisticated force because the first thing they will do is to jam all the signals so you want feedback coming back you won't be able to control your drones etc so most restarting much aware of this in the united states roadmap since two thousand and four been discussing the idea of the next stage from money in the loop
9:32 am
to man on the loop to about a year ago i was at an international law conference and there are all these international lawyers arguing back and forth and one of them was the. general counsel for the u.s. air force and he said we would never ever work on armed autonomous systems because that would violate the law we would never ever do something like that and all the lawyers might be that's right that's right that's right and a couple days later i was at our office of naval research and we were laughing about it because i was meeting with a couple scientists who were working on our top of a systems this isn't science fiction things out of the future we're working on this right now. and indeed the export the seven b. is finishing its trials and will be operational in twenty fifteen. it's a supersonic drone completely autonomous which will be able to decide by itself
9:33 am
whether to shoot down a target or not. but there's there's worse than that there's a program by darpa which is still in the early stages of testing but testing has been done and that's the t.v. to program and there's a jet called the fulcrum and that has been tested at twenty two thousand kilometers per hour and that's not supersonic that is hypersonic now the him of this program is that the united states will be able to have an armed combat plan anywhere on the planet within a thirteen minute when two so anywhere on this planet they can get to instantly well thirty minutes and be ready combat ready within the time flying from the united states and that's very worrying because what that means is the united states border zone is not the whole rest of the planet that is the united states.
9:34 am
it. is the last step in the industrialization in the in the industrial revolution is to industrialize warfare make it really clean see if a factory of death were robots can go and compete to destroy and kill with like people really being unfolds much. but the really big change in the overall history of war is we went from fighting inside machines to fighting an outsider machines that we went from having to zero
9:35 am
robotic systems in the u.s. military to now we have more than seven thousand of them and this is only the start that there were only a couple of countries dabbling with unmanned systems to now more than fifty countries around the world whether it's the u.s. the u.k. france germany israel russia china australia pakistan iran that all of them shoved into this robotics field to me that's what matters. me please you even been. a resistance is building up against proliferation is there any amen and somalia i speak out on behalf of those innocent victims they deserve an apology from you mr grant yeah well how many people are you willing medea benjamin is used to shock actions people here in the pacifist militant is addressing paul brennan the then anti terrorist in chief for obama the drone strikes i speak out on behalf of the uk
9:36 am
you will run out of walking sixteen year old born in denver he'll be a bit just because his father was like i speak i'm in the constitution i'd be happy with the rule of law i love my country. but i don't like oh my. god. and full of activists want to raise awareness of new dangers linked to the unstoppable rise of drones in military operations. in the suburbs of las vegas media has gathered her pacifist militants to prepare a new operation and taunt weapons manufacturers. that's what this administration has said that capturing people is messy you don't know where the
9:37 am
put them you don't know what kind of trial to give them what do you do if they're innocent killing them easy if they're innocent well too bad too late. or. the wounds of nine eleven can never be healed. hunt and kill bin laden was a. huge success for the obama administration. but the president never managed to close guantanamo prison. the closing of guantanamo the first major pledge from the man who received the nobel peace prize a couple of weeks after entering the white house. even with all the efforts of his team obama never managed to obtain a trial for the prisoners so that they can be found guilty or innocent and sentenced or sent home. they remain locked up in the judicial limbo of the
9:38 am
american enclave in cuba. it's fascinating to me that when i first brought a lawsuit through out the doors in america against one time a we were told by the right wing. you should have legal rights for terrorists and if you insist on legal rights rigorous kill them and i thought that was all talk then but one of the ironies and it's a very sad irony. when he opposed one ton of and he was right to oppose it of course is that he's replaced detention without trial with execution without trial and he just kills people know and the idea that the intelligence that america has before they kill someone is better than the intelligence they have as they lock someone up for ten years and one time i was just silly so we can be pretty certain that the people they kill are randomly inappropriate as the people they put in guantanamo. executions without trial now
9:39 am
replace arbitrary detention. where. there are. no right. now in. all of this robotic stuff shows that if they can build it they will build it even if it's on the why is to build it and so that's why we're trying to see. hey we need to stop developing this stuff just if we can build something doesn't mean you should build it. because it's not just making the robots it's making the little sensors making all the components of that gone right these fairs and said what are you going to do when when the wars are over you know couldn't it's many of these and they all say with a laugh all of them that i've spoken to say we'll just start another war. because you know we're just a ploy to roll first unit closer to the soldiers fully trained in
9:40 am
afghanistan. than a fly in for i think forty five missions a day. that many of us were at about seventy dollars a player and then today i mean it chills or do you know. they say your surgeon said your first period. what's your feeling let a specialist go for years and. do you think manufacturers don't have any responsibility once wasn't good to support their country. thanks for talking and i get. there from. the pride of a weapon manufacturer when the dead pile up it means they have
9:41 am
a quality product. of the. last flight over the fair last action body and drones night falls over vegas and the party is over. it's time for us to pass through the looking glass and discover the reality in pakistan. i marinate join me. for impartial and financial reporting commentary interviews and much much. only on the bus and.
9:42 am
it looks like. we're going to go digital the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy which albus us will. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across several we've been hijacked why a handful of trans national corporations will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once told just my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem for trucks rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing america by bill ready to join the movement then walk a little bit of. well
9:43 am
known told him a language of war but i will only react to situations as i have read the reports but i'm likely to push the know i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point of the month to say to mr kerry you have a car is on the job here no gonna. go they go no more weasel words when you fade a direct question are you prepared for a change when you throw a punch be ready for a bad. freedom of speech and little down to freedom to crush. when the unit paying union promised to net ukraine become part of it it clearly contributed to the bathtub ration of tensions within ukraine ukraine will not become part of the european union the won't tell tales ukraine absolutely doesn't have the economic level to become part of the e.u. and.
9:44 am
your friend posts a photo from a vacation you can't afford. to different. the boss repeats the same old joke of course you like. your ex-girlfriend still pens tear jerking poetry keep. ignore it. we post only what really matters at r.t. or facebook you st. pakistan an ally of the united states yet still exposed every week to american drone bombings. shows that ackbar is a lawyer who decided to fight drones through
9:45 am
a justice. he has been prosecuted american people involved in the kill chain for two years. by giving them compensation what are you doing news media trying to bring the people in tribal areas into the mainstream system that they believe one institutions that did courts and get them justice that they do not have to kill to get justice just like america is killing people illegally to get justice for whatever happened to them in. his most significant action was to prosecute the head of the cia and islamic. forcing the spy to leave the country. despite his escape has no intention of giving up bringing the judgment comes in or fair word it means that we will be having international arrest warrants against this person who was directly involved in drug trade. medea benjamin supports
9:46 am
facade and brought a group of american pacifists to discuss with was there a stand representatives. was there a stand is the pakistani province bordering afghanistan a location that proves to be its curse zod persuaded these tribal chiefs to come and testify about their morning to these americans who is bombs and missiles they fear every day what are those who were killed in this strike seventy of march two thousand and eleven in that strike there were about fifty people reported killed all civilians and the larger number of people killed was dr elders which is odd opens the dialogue and translates for both parties dispute but the cultural divide remains obvious because doing this will be for you just business secondly be according to who did buy the cameras and so many customers and so many women as well that's why there's no life on earth please avoid eye contact but just start
9:47 am
really with introduction well it was like i don't. know you had like like an are going to you look at them but they will be avoiding eye contact as well because this is a. tribal real showing respect to women that they keep their eyes nor. the first reason that i came here is to offer my apologies and this is sort of the united states for what my country has done to your lives and that is a very small thing. but it is what i can do. secondly i would like to ask you gentlemen if you had a drone what would you do with it. study you're going to have my grandma decide when i do what i'm i'm going to go on publishing the cia gave them i would also see an obama white house but as i would miss i would look like. you're saying there should be her role you're not going to park. there you know which part was. answering the coalition zadan medea
9:48 am
a march to was here a stand is progressively organized. there soon reunited with clive stafford smith a lawyer specialized in the defense of inmates of guantanamo. all the drawings illegals or groups that train top legal there's nothing illegal about the drug salute there's no war between pakistan and its ally the united states so everything that's happening here is illegal this letter is the threshold for going to war for the united states so dramatically because no american gets in danger and i'm the only american rather few americans ever that there are many of us within a thousand miles or particular study there and so there's no danger to the natural states people are sitting in nevada playing video games with the lives of people in
9:49 am
reservist total and that's not the threshold in a united states wouldn't send that sixteen dollars into reserve some they couldn't do that politically but they can do it with drones and that's what makes these things are very different is amazing the fact that we are here we made it this far we feel that we have helped raise the issue internationally and we're very excited out there like. soon several hundred vehicles follow the crowd to an impressive gathering. imran khan a national celeb or. he leads the event a candidate for the next presidential election. amaranth is a very popular character in pakistan and his bid should not be dismissed this is why he is taking a firm stance against drones with the intention of making a clear difference from the tepid reactions of the incumbent power. i think that it
9:50 am
was the right thing and it ought to. be on your heart hold. my own party and on behalf of just on we want to thank you we want to thank all of you will remain. focused on when all is really nice and. i. want i. know pakistan is a shadow theatre. its authorities complain about the strikes but never do anything serious such as calling for the united nations to stop them on. this ruse from once and if america or anyone else in the world was flying a drone over your hometown and they were firing missiles at anybody that did they will go three in the french air force would shoot things down in
9:51 am
a heartbeat and you know when the pakistani government says they're doing everything they can you know it's not true and you don't know quite what their motivations are and i daresay that quite complex as to read that some are just afraid of the americans get so much money from the americans that they don't want to do anything i had one come to say sion with one of the pakistan elite who honestly said to me that the americans give us so much money that you know what's three thousand people and reservist you know they can kill that many then kill more if they want to this is unbelievably horrible attitude and i'm not saying that old pakistanis and governments i think there are some honest people who are opposed to it but they've got to do a lot more than that during now so let's support the drones are killing some militants. can that qualify you for us to say that this people these people be killing and so defensive because they
9:52 am
have some crazy thoughts in their mind although they're unable to do anything against registered which is thousands of miles away from what is thought or was it a stunt but in the us the defense we want to kill them because they have bad dreams about us it's as silly as. the number of attacks in pakistan is already diminishing but even if media and her friends were successful other drones will soon take the stage. this industry benefited heavily from the iraqi and afghanistan war as its new goal is to bring back the machines tested on the battlefield so that tomorrow in the skies of western democracies they can secure border lines and fight against criminals and terrorists lobbyists are working full regime to persuade public opinion to learn to love the drones which will soon fly above our urban areas hello i'm henry quiet. and but.
9:53 am
we want to welcome you to the buck mckeon and henry quite are the two representatives delegated by the drone industry to sell their machines to american congressman we face a new reality of increased violence along our southern border associated with illegal traffic at the all purpose drone is coming next to your house the drug traffic illegal immigration protests anti-social behavior it keeps an eye on everyone i. want to. read. the question with drones with robotics and law enforcement is really not. if question should or shouldn't worry is it wise to use them this way it's an inevitability.
9:54 am
increase which a temple devoted to god a second it has been erected at the end of the runway. candice de priestess. performs ceremonies devoted to peace. while predators pass endlessly above her head. soon to be sold all around the world predators have already won their war. the war to make acceptable the delivery of death sentences anywhere around the world as seen fit by a faceless executioner. call
9:55 am
the predators. how popular are they we watch them all the time so i see other than take it out and those people like living by these machines and nobody cares but when they do the. military or civilian humanity will soon learn to live under the eyes of drones citizens of a democratic country you can certainly hope for a few legal guarantees. citizens of a weak state or a zone declared enemies by super powers. your fate will quickly be decided to stroke united states policies and this is achieved exactly the opposite of its stated goal so its stated goal is to reduce extremism instead every time you kill someone you're creates another group of people who hate you and you increase extremism but it doesn't just do that and resist. you know we did the thing that's difficult apparently the pentagon to understand is there's no one in reservist on
9:56 am
who could possibly threaten the united states but if you go killing people in this hypocritical way what you do is you and get people all around the world including in america and indeed the times square bomber if you recall said that the reason he wanted to blow up a bomb in times square was the drones campaign in pakistan so we are exporting terrorism to the united states and europe in a way that they couldn't possibly do otherwise it's the most ridiculous policy ever so you have so-called homegrown terrorists in britain in america who are so angry that they don't have to come from was their stand as they were it in britain and they then do terrible things that.

is so easy. to slip just a little bit of the story is still being just a b.b.c. feature a stage eight lupita was going to kill was. in december. more likely to be raped in college than in the real world. i don't think that to each other when they knew each other i thought rape was a stranger in the bushes. girl complaining about the son of an alumni. millions of dollars. school why listen to somebody who's going to lose money at the school of schools that make money based decisions are much more common than they would ever

admit. in the weekly on r t international a look at the top news from ukraine including fierce fighting in the country's east leading to the growing humanitarian crisis and blazing protests in central. sanctions. against these punitive measures with a food import ban while ukraine says it could hold. israel's assault on gaza is a huge wave of public indignation inside and outside the country as a protest those governments to stop supporting the killing of palestinians.
