a lot of tourists stay here according to the bureau of investigative journalism there have been more than four hundred drone strikes since two thousand and four killing around a thousand and the sensibility ends and that's just in pakistan a local contact is taking me to meet a man who narrowly avoided one of those strikes. oh. i'm going to get other men out of these times above but. nothing to them if you can you give them but. i look at the. title of the struggle to go understand it was the future because of my b.-o. for it is good for me if you get your ticket because. her. waziristan

is the mountainous region between pakistan and afghanistan a self-proclaimed but i'm recognised states populated with disaffected pashtun tribes it's been viewed as a taliban stronghold since two thousand and one attacks on the government has so far been unable to regain control of the area. malik claims to have been personally targeted by at least four drone strikes since two thousand and ten. was it a stunning to go at this time it was no. shortage of them but they had. to be a. little let up not come on the hill. to face like out of the.

sean west mall and is a former drone communications technician since leaving yes he struggled to come to terms with the role he played in the u.s. drone program. yeah i was i was sleeping in the back of this truck all the way for about a quarter of last year. growth in three i mean psychological issues. yeah the fed back there are a little space here and sleeping on top of the mountain wasn't getting the help i needed and you know i was kind of who you were on issues back in october and. you know i had slipped at the the bridge. a couple of nights and i was. seriously planning on jumping. and. i decided. i shouldn't do that and i should i should get help and i should.

you know you probably have somebody else. taking care of me for a certain amount of time. there is a member of the community that was nice enough to allow me to basically sublet this place and be that the groundskeeper here for about a year. i haven't really had a stable place to stay up until now but i had gardening knowledge so you know when you're in the military your chief purpose is mostly to destroy things. you know i have been dealing with that for a while. so. having i mean you know the ability to work on plants and stuff like this is kind of feeling for me. because i'm going you know from using my creative energy to destroy things to creating life. well so it

was thank you very much for directions i look forward to meeting you. yeah thank you very much. i arranged to meet at the new mexico state university flight center the sense of where integrates an unmanned aircraft into regular international airspace and these people know everything there is to know about drugs. i did twenty nine years the united states navy any type of intel is good intel when you're not chancing a pilot's life that's even better plus when you think about it in the future is unmanned an f. sixteen can take a probably a fifteen or twenty degree turn the problem is the pilot passes out at nine or ten g. so if you take the pilot out does that make it a better fighter aircraft well sure it does because now it turns tighter it goes

faster just doesn't want. thank you. these are excellent tools and not so we always say this isn't a solution it's a choice. the flew the tiger shark in afghanistan or iraq and this aircraft get us there so an iraqi police get to go without leaving the base you can see you know countryside out there. without having to worry about get shot down yeah yeah. so the b.s.a. is they keep people safe. there are some operations were when i was flying. you know troops are in contact you know they told us to go down and fly low as we could try to draw fire oh really ok they were able to get people out because they were concentrating fire at us from. the movement for justice is a political party in pakistan that's how they've been branded its leader opposition

politician emraan khan and infidel and even wanted him dead we met at his home in islamabad now under constant armed guards he's one of pakistan's most popular politicians organizing rallies that attract thousands of followers he doesn't believe the conflict can be solved militarily neither in afghanistan or pakistan i feel that this is a total violation of human rights it killing people by these drones basically sitting on a screen and eliminating people dehumanizing them treating them. as if you know the from some other planet not giving them a basic right of proving that innocence i mean it violates all norms of justice they claim they have intelligence that shows that there are terrorists. they're bombing villages their villages their their houses their mud houses the bombing them and then that think that the bone when it's when it busts when it's spent is

that the shop will knows exactly who is a terrorist and who's a woman and it was a child with a grandmother i mean there is so many instances of people being killed who had nothing to do with the terrorism and and then those who call terrorist sometimes they claim that they've killed a terrorist and then you see he's alive so who have they killed. i received a performance report result which was intended for like promotional purposes. that was it said that isis in two thousand four hundred close air support missions and two hundred plus enemy channels we asked there were several of us that ass you know how many civilians died and they wouldn't tell us but if you understand the areas that we're covering and you were to look at the unanimous report on the amount of civilian casualties and happened that year. there would be somewhere around three

hundred fifty nine. you can understand in a way that ok americans maybe don't see that their actions are in fact fuel any more terrorism but why does the pakistani government's not put more pressure in order to stop this program and on its own land all the seas dollars and if you pay them enough dollars they're willing to. allow americans to bomb their own country which is an ally of the u.s. i guess that is a u.s. ally in this war on terror so it's never happened in history where we're a country is bombed by its own allies god god god oh. oh . knew about from as a journalist from north waziristan whenever there is any drone strike local people

call him so he can document the number of innocent civilians killed. somebody was done me but i. think that those hoping this that i come to jump the gun may draw goes up a lot but how much of a social climates i do that they are like a taxi home for you but it was drawn compliment. the other kind of that argument will happen. maybe they need to get that they. need. these days that i know where you are in the world the chances are you're being watched and with the seemingly unstoppable proliferation of drones privacy may be a thing of the cost military drones have resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent people because strike anytime anywhere so it's ten thousand meters in the end you probably won't have the slightest idea you'll be watched and if the itzhak

won't see it coming. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race based on often scary dramatic development only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. in a world of big partners who lost. and it's time. to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever

we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. relationship banks butts recommend trouble couples to keep talking to each other this advice would also apply to president putin and president trump on the eve of the second meeting is it enough to pull the us russia relationship out of crisis. even. as i live the good feel confident.

we have the thanks and the smiles and this is. why some people take our things all the power just for damn self.

anything through the back or front. well maybe in back you're going to. shoulder the bill in the paper it's your choice right now and it's your wedding that matthew ryan will be. if you don't feel comfortable didn't wear it in the back that way when we do we're going up for snacks we have to turn around come back this way. forty fifty me. see the face just behind me is a sign with those statistics the number of victims killed in all the different countries where drones have been used on a sign that says just say no war. so it is not just the far east. killing up to nine outs and innocent people it's the

father they killed people anyway takio the united states does not have the right to defend no sometimes i get frustrated because the most tragic part of the children that get yeah but sometimes the civilian issue is imprecise too much and it's just the idea of assassination that. they say is code pink an organization founded and run by a group of women campaigning to end u.s. wars and militarism today they're protesting against creech air base but of all the people i met i was keen to talk more to underwrite a former army colonel and u.s. diplomats. creech drone base is the only place really in the world where you can see drones taking off and landing there the practice vehicles for. drone pilots that are just learning to control them yeah and then will start controlling them in afghanistan or pakistan somalia yemen who knows really where they will it's

also based not only for u.s. military pilots and contractors and cia but also the british for years have had drone pilots and if you look way back in there at those facilities you know back in there somewhere are the actual control pods where the pilots that are controlling them in afghanistan and pakistan sure. we know that in this midst of thousands of cars to come in every morning and believe. that there are drone pilots that may have just killed somebody in afghanistan or pakistan may have killed a wedding party or. whatever you don't even know who the people you know no doubt. it is you know here to protect you. if you should be anything like that everybody so i just like the one deal with them for. me. to take care of

my children or your broadband supplies. or. if you're on the clock i mean i think that anything could be called the lady people might think. well i think person almost like negotiating gets mad at everybody that he did it but yeah it's amazing you're compassionate what do you think it will light the light so i need to interrupt him is like faceless mosques is kind of the face of the victims of the jones i don't mind first mr west. the commander is a criminal is pretty good you can come out with fascinating in the evil he should be arrested that's not it would be treatment of the fronts which anybody nothing else to man up that you know right. now. i was. being careful and. i learned

a. ton of comics most dearly i was expecting the process to be a bit bigger if i'm honest or about the people you've got to wonder. what effect such a small process is going to have on the people people entering the base the government. yet karim khan lives in waziristan and there's another drone victim his relatives still i didn't want to check. out of getting in the c.b.o.t. the c.b.

bus but i got all you'll be they'll come deal with the income deal. when they begin you know dr drew can we get the judge at the end i glance at the end but at the michael that i can even append this in a minute i'm happy scale us once again. and. pakistani lawyer says that bar defies the rights of drone attack victims he says the problem is almost never discussed because victims simply have nowhere and nobody to turn to. drone strikes have been taking place in mostly north waziristan and so it was it was the. tribal stand which is cut off from rest of the country because of many reasons but. to put it very simply it's a black hole of information now.

now. so this is what's been recovered from. you know from most of the sites we actually have. pictures of people who have been killed by these and as i was as well so what we did is like in two thousand and twelve we did a. negative mission very powerful so for example in this village on such and such a date this was i was at a word from a house that killed six people including theodore's and one child. the nightmares about standing in a village trying to get the kids to come home to me. and to some shelter in their own just standing you know looking into drones and.

you know before anybody could really get them to come in they. exploded. so i would need to make matson there's also. this don't let just close on the country lecturing about dolan's so we should people in stores house. that was expensive and you go. to put the drugs so you know i can draw and i'll make a lower speed so these are the four hellfire and the two bombs i'm assuming yes it's all right these are all these are all laser guided bombs and missiles ok and yeah and the hellfire missile. it was made for use against trucks armor you know tanks and buildings and so when that's used against people and

then the course this is the camera of fear ok you know it was used to target people the whole message of this tip to people in other countries is terror this shows places in africa where it's known that there are drone bases or drone operations of some kind. and one of the questions is about. i think most people in germany are not in favor of drone war but the united states has. a. drone relay information control center and rob stein and it seems to be very critical information coming from creech air force drone control center in the united states to rob stein and then through satellite the drones might be controlled to attack in yemen or you

know afghanistan or iraq yeah yeah somalia. so it seems that rob stein is very critical node in this. to find out more about germany's role of consequence to meet undressing with a lawyer defending the rights of the survivors of the john striking again and. playing against. the german government especially as they bring forward so use of the ramstein air base kenya explains the loss the the legality or illegality of

germany allowing the u.s. to use ramish that as a relay base yes we see that the use of drones of thrones buzzing united states for example in yemen. is a violation of international law because. many people are killed sir many civilians are killed in yemen and that's unlawful under international law standards it's also unlawful under german law standards. let me ask you then i mean we need to put you that we have been. cut out to stop ramstein activists connie schmitz is driving us to the airbase on our way he told us that the movement has grown dramatically in the few months since it was founded in two thousand and fifteen the group's first rally in september was

one of the biggest protest marches against the american air base for twenty years so many things in english here and other areas. deliver more american than german really yes it is not only true but it is you guys are so out and out leave it eighty dollars and into town and thirty's hours and americans in the. region are that. know what happens. you know that they control they killed maybe four dollars and people buy drilled india i controlled by it i'm shot i am born in. the navy we reach for mom stein. and it is my duty to say no to the. i don't know if i be to be successful my success is to do wheat every year fourteen thousand airplanes going

over my house. well not necessarily there's a very small drone called the skinny eagle drone next of a snake matson c.s.u. a piece will soon be capable of making autonomous decisions to carry of and there is. research that goes on around you know as far as we can gather using. digital imaging people's faces to be put into the computer so that they can the drone can identify individual people ok on if. the idea there would be if you are drone pilots who don't want to fly drones just yeah i rather drone pilots than what the drones do the job. form a drone communications technician shawn westmoreland still haunted by night mess believes that tomorrow's drones will not be troubled by human conscience. machine

learning and. intelligence. machines designed to make kill decisions. that's a little time for us to talk. about. thank. the stories that i've seen lately can you imagine what will happen later on the loop we've seen this happen for how many years now you must wonder what will it save for them to put an end so it was special no know how much money gums interest making from me exactly it just recently we had once again another example of in pakistan the drone strike and we had this i don't want to kill the guy from afghanistan exact exactly right so we had the pakistani government slamming the u.s. for violating its sovereignty but the current this all the from or how many times i

want to believe a challenge. i find. so incredible the. people in the united states accept this as a we are fighting terror with. good should be some growth but they're winning the war one has. known of. course with support for the bubble for the amount of but trickle but had a bit on the album of the on what a title by the like the one that is kind of but old school didn't embody but not yet it was.

is going to start smelling really bad people are going to start bailing out of stocks technology stocks housing stocks. semiconductor stocks yeah right they're just like sell sell sell sell sell sell sell and then of course you could have market down twenty thirty forty fifty sixty percent. while give easy vosper in this. rational. desire for one of the three. cause i'm.
