you have monitors a dispatch to the western syrian town of houla where activists say government troops have massacred more than one thousand people. from minister dimitri would rather take charge of the united russia party wants to clear out those who discredited but also remolding it for the online. and destroying dissent with elections ahead the georgia regime still got no appetite for opposition a year after violently dispersing independence day rally. midnight here in moscow you watching r.t. with me kevin now in her first u.n. monitors have visited the western syrian town of houla were activists say more than

one thousand people have been killed by government forces it's also claimed the troops used tanks and heavy machine guns to pounding areas this week u.n. report accused both the regime and the rebels of gross human rights violations in france meantime the friends of syria group is keen to remove president assad and friends the opposition condemned the violence and called for urgent meeting and there are also reports now that the free syrian army is refusing to abide by the u.n. peace plan r.t. sarah firth it's been covering events force in syria for some time now says politics has to go on the back burner when human lives are being lost. it's just absolutely devastating tragedy and the nation's number of people confirmed killed the children and there is no sense to see it simply doesn't exist this crisis as it's becoming increasingly militarized and having this devastatingly high death toll and say we actually spoke to the foreign minister in syria he is in moscow just the other day i asked him where the final responsibility lies for what's

happening in the country right now the wall is not on the call to the syrian government to the syrian. people. of those who do not want to see peace and stability and security in serbia particularly those who are calling clearing every now and then for arming. the groups for. smuggling of arms and. from neighboring countries is also financing. there is a probably. when. you accuse. the point your fingers accusing. just remember. of. against you see the rhetoric right from the beginning of the un monitors being has been now before the plans even reach this three month

deadline to face well ok but it's one thing to say terminologies but what is what's the alternative to constantly giving these problems without any other solution is only going to lead to further violence and seeing some of the western countries again continuing lie to this peace plan calling for the arming of the opposition we know the arms are traveling into the country all of this is undermining massively the u.n. attempts to implement a cease fire which is so important that they're able to continue that work and get that done and i think it's very important. you know politics aside in this to human cost that this conflict is devastating and if the u.n. mission fails it is going to get even higher a correspondence will political and mr bremer louche leaves the houla massacre is likely to be orchestrated by the rebels. that's the armed gangs behind that and the reason i say that is because these three massacres took place in the context of

a broad attack against army roadblocks and security stations throughout the area they also attacked the national hospital in the region and they set fire to the national hospital and then they turned to that civilian houses and some of the neighboring villages and they started killing and the sperm and plea and some of those killed some of the families killed were known further. to the syrian regime and to bashar al assad these people do not want to see a political solution instead they want to see an armed intervention an enclosure national foreign intervention and syria under the pretext of massacres i think the political timing is always very suspicious it would not make sense for the syrian army to commit these massacres and withdraw and then just let the rebels

come and take photos and make documentaries about them and these crimes were committed by the armed gangs that are supported from abroad from the g.c.c. countries and from the nato specifically through turkey. as well as no pain prime minister dmitry medvedev has been appointed to head the country's ruling united russia party and his modernization mantras are ready in evidence he's proposed holding primaries to increase democratic competition and he's really explains what we expect from the parties need it. first and foremost he did say that the party is in need of some. overhaul in order to be more modernized he did call on the party members to be more active on the internet she said that acting more young voters and younger members of the party is crucial to the party's development he also proposed primaries in order to create a greater competition within the party ranks he did say that the ruling post in the

party should be harder to wire and basically he did outline some of the major areas where the party should be working in order to progress not stand still she did say that there is a competition that the united russia is facing at the moment and they should be able to handle the competition to not be for a period of criticism because after all it is in the in the disputes and in conversations where the truth is being born a basically he did outline and not particularly in any detail of his plan for the party but it does look like he is set on moving it forward he is also the first prime minister to actually belong to a party by him it was and wasn't a member of united russia it's been a year since georgian government forces broke up a rally demanding presence really quits and opposition forces are still feeling the full force of suppression the clashes last may so two people killed as police used water kind and rubber bullets to disperse the crowds dozens were injured and hundreds arrested when officers tried to clear the way for the country's

independence day celebrations george will hold parliamentary and presidential elections no later in the year but is where for national front that is little cheer ready will open for change. but also to study to be one of georgia's main television channels slogan for claims news is made here from the country's journalists charter complains that sometimes it's literally so and works equally for all georgian major broadcasters. if they do not cover news they make it in their offices behind closed doors. in georgia there are only three national channels broadcasting news channel one a state ran while the owners of the two others were started two and in mehdi had close ties with georgian president mikheil saakashvili and his administration they are the main sources of information for the country's almost four point five million population ziad says the news reports these three air often repeat each

other which raises concerns over there it is horrible independence especially as the country enters election season five months before parliament voting. they're quite black and white circus really is good opposition is bad but they really touch georgian politics at all when i watch it i have the feeling that there are no problems in georgia and their main mission is to entertain people not to inform them. other channels content is more diversified from the corruption in the country's elite and political prisoners to a controversial purchase by the president's mother of a historic bilton in central but to me for just one larry which is less than one us dollar but these are turning to the media sources can hardly get an audience outside the capital tbilisi. local authorities prevent us from broadcasting in the provinces alone we do have a license the people running the biggest company the former minister of defense and the head of the government communications committee who are also co owners of the

three biggest channels all of them are friends with the president apart from financial markets says the authorities practice other kinds of pressure to include in what he says is a feature of any offer tarion regime. our journalists have been beaten up their equipment stolen and there's been no investigation do we really have freedom of press if our correspondents every time they go to an opposition rally have to wonder if they're going to be beaten or not irakli and used paper reporter says he has been beaten up twice in the last month by the president's an interior minister's security for attempting to cover the events where the two top officials were only government approved media were invited. me here very hard and also yelled how did i come here at all but i would be blacklisted and would never find decent work and i think as elections approach such pressure will only get tougher

for most of the population here and told to get the news from spain own the safe and for the media the press is among the most tightly mourning and there are not to these presidential and parliamentary elections a lot of independent information means voters will make it a season that is likely far from being informed and according to many often be very . brief washout see really see daughter. but when it comes to free speech everywhere else much is down to our rampant take of social media of course but later we ask if we're all bit tired of tweets pokes and likes. even it doesn't media strategy it's because i am a little bit sick of it so we have to be really good. later we ask residents of the big apple what they think the future holds for popular works. the army of chiefs shooting no tears for trouble greece demanding they sought their own problems out by paying their own taxes christine legarde said she's got no

intentions of softening the country's bailout terms even though austerity and employment slowed to a rise in suicides their social and political philosophy lecture upon a goat is a tourist told me believes of storage he will drain greece dry. i think she was honest insurer cynicism that's the cynicism all the rolling neo liberal global it's just not telling the truth i think that's fair comparison between a jury of greece was totally and just because greece is well countries are facing the same carney and austerity packages the same structural adjustments the same embedded neo liberalism is not that man is going to be taken from greece and given to africa mali is going to be taken is going to be it's going to be looked at from africa and the majority of the people in greece the tax evasion in greece but the problem is that the people who regularly access can do it legitimately in greece

are mainly those people the social strata. that's big business big banks we must say that the terms of the loan agreement and they also imply leering taxes for big business big banks and raising taxes for the average wage earner. and we have taken some top world news stories now from around the world iran's envoy to the un is nuclear agency says evidence of enriched uranium found an underground bunker would you do a technical glitch official to scupper traces that rich to twenty seven percent which is higher than previously thought the west suspects around a building nuclear weapons which required reading in which to up to ninety percent to round denies the allegation. financial irregularities many conflicts to the vatican have been exposed to the pope's butler has been arrested for the leaks play say he was in illegal possession of confidential documents including letters alleging corruption at the churches highest levels of the vatican's already

sweeping on the author of a book containing memos between the pope and his personal secretary. a u.s. drone strike has killed at least four in pakistan the missiles hit a house in the country's was there a stand tribal region security official. say those killed were taliban militants relations between the u.s. in islamabad have been tense since twenty four pakistani soldiers were killed in the nato air strike last november. student groups in canada are making legal moves to overturn a law designed to suppress the three months of protests over a hike in chu issued fees it requires them not to give eight hours notice ahead of a rally but the students say that's unconstitutional the quebec authorities moves of any fuel the protesters anger to with one hundred thousand taking part in a demonstration earlier this week relative led to violent clashes with police and over two thousand five hundred arrests in february two newspaper editor corey poole told us he thinks the movement's taking on ever growing significance. i think that

the government is trying to make it a lot it is trying to keep it as a student issue that it's a student issue led by simply students and. it can be it can be quelled with maybe some simple negotiations but i don't really think that that is exactly the case and i feel that it's an ideological issue it's a movement that has grown beyond the simple fact that we're tuition increase and now encompasses many many problems. that are being brought up in the current government. mismanagement of funds corruption within the government itself mismanagement mismanagement of the university system and generally people are really upset and i don't think that this issue will simply go away. and it is not just seeing anger growing as we're reporting online tonight the a protest that we're going to ontario to students pledge to stand shoulder to shoulder with those rallying in other cities also take a look online if you get a minute r t the reporting on the middle of this on a disillusioned american soldiers throwing away the ability declarations of war did

for what they now regarding as an unjust war. a coincidence that the way right now which has around one hundred twenty million fans glued to it it's eurovision song contest time but there's division in one country over its entry in the final. report on how ukraine's song for europe is stirring an undercurrent of racism. the song be my guest sounds like an invitation sing it a guy who is representing ukraine at the eurovision song contest says its message is positive that her country opens its arms to any guest but the reaction of ukraine's nationalists that is being performed by

a woman with african roots suggests quite the opposite. the jury which decided to turn or should go it was very biased they didn't let real ukrainian singers go to europe vision like how she sings but now people might get an impression that ukraine is a country somewhere in africa. the daughter of a ukrainian mother and a congolese father may have been heard by this attitude but still try to play down with a smile i don't like it i hate to a season i hate when people. have so much negatively in this. i hate it when people try to choose you like a friend because you why do you black. this is no isolated racism among ukraine's nationalists over the years they've been making the ideology known in other ways deemed offensive by many from attacking war veterans on victory day last year or cooking eggs and bacon on t.v. eternal flame which commemorates fall in red army soldiers all the previous actions

of ukraine's right wing radicals have been mostly acts of hooliganism they have rarely made headlines especially in the global media but with the euro twenty eight well football championship coming to ukraine some pundits in the west believe this is about to change reporter brian flynn from britain sun newspaper disguised himself as a right wing sympathizer to go undercover into a nationalist field cam in western ukraine his food a shows them firing weapons and using explosives this military wing of nationalists has what it takes to wreck some real haversack flynn believes their destructive skills could be employed. quite soon with football hooligans being among those trained at the camp with the very clear about a number of of things that their ideology sort of points in the direction of one of them is is a belief that there should be no black players playing for european clubs as one of the generals told me it wouldn't it's not fair it should be england against ukraine

not ukraine against england and africa as well as make clear that any fans going to ukraine should should be very careful because clear to me that these are people very serious about what they do they train physically to back it up with violence and i watched what they fired live weapons. the danger of major violence at the football event may still be averted if authorities take action but another great risk looms for ukraine the ruling party is losing ground and september's vote may bring some of those radicals into parliament. nowadays no one would be surprised to see the nazi salute at folk festivals in western ukraine or nationalist some regional powers in other parts peace can still take action against neo nazis and much of the very same people will have parliamentary immunity and an unlimited platform in parliament to spread their ideas to young people ukraine's right wing nationalist align themselves in glorifying everything ukrainian at the same time

they are strongly supportive of their country's european integration but with increasingly vocal zina for big and racist statements it's hard to imagine brussels listening to their opinions on ukraine becoming an e.u. member state should they make it to power. r.t. reporting from kiev in ukraine. many muslims living in the united states are getting accustomed to the growing suspicion that they get from law enforcement or the government's justification is that it helps prevent terrorist attacks but the muslim community believes they're being unfairly victimized as but in a question of a report of. yes safad prepares for his daily prayers fear creeps into the back of his mind as to whether the person next to him is a spy are you you know felt that there was a sense of mistrust that i wasn't sure about the people that were coming up the mosque if there was somebody new at the mosque that i had never seen i would always feel in the back of my mind that you know who is this person what are they here for

a fight is one of many american muslims who came under the surveillance of the aphelion south in california what he thought was a fellow warship or at a mosque turned out to be an informant the subject of monitoring muslims doesn't exactly come as a surprise to many in the u.s. this is been happening all across the country simply because so many will soon to cross the country are getting visited on a regular basis by a cia agents were doing joint terrorism task force officers so many are having problems now the consul of american islamic relations in california is suing the agency for what it says is an attempt to incriminate people based simply on their religion that the muslims are what the outcome americans were the fifty's sixty's seventy's i think it's a war a religious war i think it's part of. the sims based on their religion

but really this is a war on islam. and islam craig monte was an aft be an informant sent to infiltrate the muslim community in south in california he says that while the f.b.i. insist it's acting to defend the u.s. from potential terrorist attacks and slapping suspicion on an entire religious group people here say americans have their mind sent to mistrust arabs and muslims and it's not simply because of the identification of the nine eleven hijackers but more from a decade of missed and is being. vilified by hollywood as jihadists islamic extremists and terrorists. are right but people here believe the problem is far greater and concerns many minority communities targeted because of their free and fair if message. this not just about the muslim

community because what happens is that our constitutional freedoms start getting weak and for everybody and we're starting to see that more and more because we have allowed this so hot that it means for a fod and many others in minority communities nationwide they will be forced to live life looking over their shoulders even in their own country i have to constantly watch myself it's almost like there's you know mental check that i have to constantly put myself through whenever i visit or go to the mosque or go to events with the community because you never know somebody that might be listening might be enough yeah in format like in the question archie reporting from los angeles california over a billion people use the likes of facebook and twitter but next we ask you for all getting a bit weary of why it. social

media websites have been making headlines for years is the craze coming to an end any time soon this week let's talk about that do you use social media i used to actually just lead in my face but why am i just getting tired of it tired of trying to keep up with everyone do you think of the world is getting a little bit over social media yeah a little bit because you know when mom start using social media time to go my grandma is actually using it do you know why not because i don't like being. like putting too much of my personal information on this kind of social network. i love you one professional was like linked in but the public ones like to be very specific to. you some people put a little too much information on their thing but yeah why do we care about what people eat and what they're doing every second every and every meal they you know but it's a good way to keep in touch with people too what about the phone what about you know going over to your neighbor's house and saying hi exactly i think people are

getting away from that and it's too easy to just do it although. i think there's a lot of good uses for there are some uses we found in the school system not so good like what some of the bullying that goes on and i think is too many young people are kind of think what's a big deal give somebody a threat over there where i've seen police officers get involved with kids to do those kinds of things because it's a threat whether it's on facebook person so do you think that social media is going to change to be a little bit safer or is it just going to get where i think it needs to change and i think that picture everybody to get more with the turner standard i actually do social media strategy for a job yes your life depends on social media a little bit i do other things as well but it's one of them yes he use it every day in your personal life i do one reason i think that i'm decent at social media strategy is because i. i am a little bit think of it but we have to be really good right it just seems to be so omnipresent now that i think there's a something bigger and greater and better is going to come about. that the second

comment re the going to come through social media and x. that word has twitter about so i need to to be part of jesus that's what i'm sure he has what right right right exactly so do you think the social media create this coming to an end why don't you tweet about it and b. if anyone cares. twenty five past midnight moscow time saturday sport early sunday morning sporting fact it's a little over twenty minutes and we're getting active as well. after the headlines on the way next. to the.

wealthy british style site. that's not because we don't. markets why not can. find out what's really happening to the global economy

with max cons or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kinds a report on. religion and education are inseparable. enlightenment isn't possible without. inner peace without hard work and. joy with a prayer. so for us and for new job the rates of. the rates of leukemia for example is thirty eight times they expect. breast cancers more than ten times told cancers fourteen times i would forget the exact details but the shoes numbers there's no nothing that you have ever found in any epidemiological study anywhere ever there

is a way that brings victory. to its creator. he's not alone some are more severe than others we have something that is born without skulls without organised and sometimes with their legs totally twisted blood means death to those who it's pointed cut back now. owns to those who use this window. and that celebrates it and they don't realize that stand looking at their own future cuts so alarms this is just. it's so sad. i have. leakage and i show you to the extent how much i have leakage.
