thanks. monitors dispatched to the western syrian town of houla the activists say government troops have massacred more than ninety. meters would rather face a charge of united russia party wants to clear those who discredited boils over both the good for the online. and destroying dissent with elections ahead george regime still got no appetite for opposition a year after violently dispersing independence day rally. hello why i'm here in moscow now you're watching r.t. with me kevin now in our top story u.n. monitors visited the western syrian town of houla where activists say more than

ninety people have been killed by government forces it's also claimed the troops used tanks and heavy machine guns to power the area this week a un 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 from the opposition condemning the violence and called for a meeting there are also reports that the free syrian army is now refusing to abide by the u.n. peace plan to syria further is been covering events in syria for some time for us says politics has to go on the back burner and when human lives have been lost. it's just devastating tragedy and number of people confirmed killed the children there is no ceasefire it simply doesn't exist this crisis that is just becoming increasingly militarized and having this devastatingly high death toll and say we actually spoke to that to foreign minister in syria he's in moscow just the other day i asked him where the final responsibility lies what's happening in the country

right now. is not the call to the syrian government. all of the syrian people that is in the court of those who do not want to see peace and stability and security in serbia but particularly those who are calling and declaring every now and then for arming the armed groups for also smuggling of arms and weapons into this or the interpreter from neighboring countries and also financing these armed groups there is a proverb that says when you accuse others and the point your finger is accusing others just remember. accusation. against you see the rhetoric right from the beginning of again the u.n. monitors being there has been now before the plans even reached its three month

deadline that it's a failure well. it's one thing to 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 you seeing some of the western countries again continuing right through this peace plan calling for the arming of the opposition we know the answer traveling into the country you know all of this is undermining massively the u.n. attends to implement a cease fire which is so important that you know that they're able to continue that work and get that done and i think it's very important to remember you know politics aside in this the human cost of this conflict is devastating and if the u.n. mission that is going to get even if only in some of these areas and already. the security council going to civilian protection that is not going to even attempt to abide by this cease fire to deeply concerning because this sort of thing this this peace plan on raveling and we've heard for and we've heard from many many people

this is the only viable option right now for ending this situation peacefully without further deaths i mean it's not an easy process and whilst we were there with the u.n. observers here we traveled with him to some of the very very fierce fighting areas . and i could at the time in my civil war and i was very very wary of it in his words that it really is that extreme. further crossed when i was just barely i will political amnesty remain louche told me he believes 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 that civilian houses and some of the neighboring villages and they started killing in the square monthly and some of those killed some of the families killed were known further. to the syrian regime and to bashar 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 fire 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 not

being prime minister to be too inventive but appointed to head the country's ruling united russia party and its modernization mantra is already in evidence he's proposed holding primaries to increase democratic competition and he's running explains what to expect him from united russia's new leader. first and foremost he did say that the party is in need of some off some over wholly in order to be more modernized he did a call on the party members to be more active only internet she said that taxing more young voters and younger members of the party is crucial to the party's development you'll superposed primaries in order to create a greater competition within the party ranks he did say that the ruling posted in the party should be harder to choir 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 free to criticize him 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's also the first a prime minister to actually belong to a party wasn't was and wasn't a member of the united russia. it's been a year now since georgian government forces broke up a rally demanding president psychoses really quits opposition forces are still feeling the full force of suppression because of it the clashes last may saw two people killed as police used water cannon and rubber bullets to disperse the crowd dozens were injured and hundreds of arrested when officers tried to clear the way for the country's independence day celebrations george will hold parliamentary and presidential elections than later in the year but as many from national found there's little the cheer for anyone hoping for a change. or starts to starve it to one of georgia's main

television channels its slogan proclaims news is made here is the answer from the country's journalists charter complains that sometimes it's literally so and works equally for all georgian major broadcasters. they do not cover news they make it there in their offices behind closed doors in georgia where there are only three national channels broadcasting news channel one a state ran while the owners of the two others who study too and in mehdi have 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 the editorial 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 although 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 of terry and 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 presidents and interior ministers security for attempting to cover the events with the two top officials where only government approved media were invited. me here very hot and also yelled how did i come here at all but i will be blacklisted and would never find decent and i think as elections approach such pressure will only get tougher for most of the population he told to get the news from the state own the safe and for 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 far from the free. race nationality to really see georgia. but when it comes to free speech everywhere else much of it is down to our rampant take it was social media of course but later we ask if tired of tweet pokes and likes. one reason i think that i'm deep in it doesn't media strategy is 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 networks. but next the chief is shouting no tears for troubled greece demanding they sort their own problems by paying the taxes christine legarde says she's got no intentions of softening the country's bailout terms even though austerity and unemployment lead to a rise in suicides their social and political philosophy lecture upon it got us a tourist told me believes austerity will drain greece dry. i think she was honest

in here cynicism that's the cynicism of the ruling neoliberal doorbell it's just not telling the truth i think that's a fair comparison between nigeria and greece was totally and sassed because greece is where the countries are facing the same reckoning and austerity packages the same structural adjustments the same embedded neoliberalism it's not that money is going to be taken from greece and given to africa money is going to be taken is going to be what is going to be looked at first from africa and the majority of the people in greece the tax evasion in grace but the problem is that the people who regularly i've heard taxes and can do it legitimately in greece are mainly those people of the social strata not some i.m.f. policy that's big business big banks we must say that the terms of the loan agreement also imply leering docsis for big business and big banks and

raising taxes for the average wage earner. more news from around the world in brief arounds envoy to the un's nuclear agency says evidence of breached you radium found an underground bunker would do to a technical glitch officials discovered traces that would enrich to twenty seven percent which is higher than previously thought the west suspects around the building nuclear weapons which require uranium enriched up to ninety percent to around denies the allegations. financial irregularities and internal conflicts at the vatican have been exposed in the pope's butler has been arrested for the leaks police say he was in illegal possession of confidential documents including letters alleging corruption at the church's highest levels vatican is already sweeping on the author of a book containing memos between the pope and his personal secretary. a u.s. drone strikes killed at least four people in pakistan the missiles hit a house in the country's was there a stand tribal region security officials say those killed were taliban militants

some simple negotiation but i don't really think that is exactly the case and i feel that it's an ideological issue it's a movement that has grown beyond the simple. increasing now encompasses many many problems. that are being brought out in the back 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's not just saying i'm growing as a reporting online and a website our reporting of protests is spilling into ontario to students pledge to stand shoulder to shoulder with those rallying in other cities so lied what if there was one if you get a minute this story medals of the song or the disillusioned american soldiers throwing away their military decorations awarded for what they now regard as an unjust war.

many muslims living in the united states are getting accustomed to the growing suspicion they get from law enforcement the government's justification is that it helps prevent terrorist attacks but the muslim community believes it's being unfairly victimized as medina cochon of a report. testified 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 but 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 and i would always feel in the back of my mind 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 p.r. agents for doing joint terrorism task force officers so many are having problems now the consul of american islamic relations to 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 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 muslims 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 weakened for everybody and we're starting to see that more and more because we have allowed this to happen 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 chatter 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 be i'm met by in the bush the archie reporting from los angeles california over a billion people use the likes of facebook and twitter but next to the program asking for all getting a bit weary of being. 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 is getting tired of it tired of trying to

keep up with everyone do you think 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 the like putting too much of my personal information on this kind of social network. i love you one provision was like clinton but the public ones like to be very specific to you some people put a little too much information on there i think 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 so 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 too many young people

are kind of think what's the big deal if i give somebody a threat over there where i've seen police officers get involved with kids or do those kinds of things because it's a threat whether it's on facebook or in 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 the picture everybody to get more with the tender stand it may 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 strategies because i. i am a little bit sick of it but we have to be really good right it just seems to be so omnipresent now that i think there's something bigger and greater and better is going to come about. yeah the second coming of jesus is going to come through social media and x. that word has twitter about i need 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 craze is coming to

an end why don't you tweet about it and b. if anyone cares. funny this half hour a news hundred twenty million fans are glued to their t.v.'s tonight voting gets underway this is your vision song contest but there's one division one country over its entry in the final. reports no one how ukraine's song for europe is sharing 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 by turner should go 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 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. to turn or 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

twelve 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 footage 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 of action 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 but it does make clear that any black 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
