u.n. monitors count to thirty two children among the dead in the western syrian town of houla where activists claim government troops have massacred more than ninety people. prime minister dmitry medvedev takes the reins of power at the united russia party promising to report the country's biggest political force and get rid of all the people the discredited. and the destroying dissent with elections ahead of the georgia regime still got no appetite bob position a year after violently dispersing independence day rallies. it's really flock here in moscow you're watching r t thank thanks for tuning in

let's take a look at the stories at this hour u.n. monitors confirm tanks and heavy machine guns have been used upon the western syrian town of houla where activists say more than ninety people have been killed by government forces this week a u.n. report accused both the regime and the rebels of gross human rights violations and friends of the friends of syria group that seemed to remove president assad and the opposition condemned the violence and called an urgent meeting there are also reports that the free syria army is now refusing to abide by the u.n. peace plan parties a separate who's been covering events in syria for some time says politics has to go on the back burner and people are losing their lives daily. this just absolutely devastating charge of the number of those people confirmed killed were children there is no ceasefire to oversee it simply doesn't exist this crisis that was just becoming increasingly militarized and having this devastatingly high death toll and so we. i actually spoke to the two foreign minister in syria he was in moscow just

the other day i always tell him where the final responsibility lies for what's happening in the country right now the ball is not in the court of the syrian government or of the syrian people it is in the court of those who do not want to see peace and stability and security in serbia particularly those who are calling and declaring every now and then for arming the armed groups for also smuggling of arms and weapons into the syrian territory from neighboring countries also financing the use on the groups there is a proverb that says when you accuse others and the point your finger is accusing others just remember. accusation. you see the rhetoric right from the beginning of again the u.n.

monitors being there has been now before the plans even reach this three month deadline that it's a failure well ok but 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. it is already. the security council guaranteeing civilian protection that is not going to even attempt to abide by this ceasefire

too deeply concerning because just sort of saying this this peace plan 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 mean it's not an easy process and was we without the u.n. observers here we traveled with him to some of the very very fierce fighting areas to live with 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. political analyst abraham aleutian believes the houla massacre is likely to have been 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 the civilian houses and some of the neighboring villages and they started killing in the scrum and monthly and some of those killed some of the families killed who are known for the a loyalty to the syrian regime and. these people do not want to see a political solution instead they want to see an armed intervention and call 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 fuck these crimes were committed by the armed gangs that are supported from abroad from the juicy sea

countries and from the nato specifically through turkey. prime minister dmitry medvedev has been appointed the chairman of the country's ruling united russia party and his modernization mantra is already an avid and says he vowed a major overhaul at the top as well as to hold two primaries the increased democratic competition within the party in a political explains what to expect from united russia's new leader. first and foremost he did say that the party is in need of some off some overhaul 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 kewl superposed primaries in order to create a greater competition within the party ranks she did say that the ruling posted in the party should be hard to acquire and basically she 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 it 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's 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. there's been a yes there's georgian government forces that broke up a really demanding presence really quits and opposition voices are still feeling the full force of suppression of the clashes last may forty people killed at least water cannons and the bullets to disperse the crowds dozens were injured and hundreds of arrested when officers tried to care the way the country's independence day celebrations georgia will hold parliamentary and presidential elections later

this year but there's no we're not enough found out it's little to cheer for in one head and for a change. of ourselves to starve it to one of georgia's main television channels that slogan proclaims 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. 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 is state ran while the owners of the two others were started two and imagine 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 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 was innocent 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 with the two top officials where 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 off will be very. brief washout see really see daughter. when it comes to free speech everywhere else much of it is down to our rampant take up of social media but later we are asking if your tired of tweets posts and links. one reason i think that i'm decent social media strategy is because i am a little bit sick of it so it has to be really good that plato we are as residents of the big apple what they think the future holds for popular networks. the i.m.f. chief is shedding no tears for trouble greece is demanding they sort out their own problems by paying their taxes christine legarde says she's got no intention of

softening the country's bailout terms even though all stereotypes and unemployment lead to a rise in suicide same social and political philosophy electra banaji artists or terrorism believes austerity will drain greece trying. think she was honest insurer cynicism that's the cynicism all the ruling labor and global elites but just not telling the truth i think that's a fair comparison between nigeria and greece she was totally unjust this. world countries are facing the same right connie and austerity packages the same structural adjustments the same embedded neo liberalism is not that money is going to be taken from greece and given to africa money is going to be taken it's going to be yes 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 i've heard taxes i can do it's legitimate to in greece are mainly those people the

social strata let's check take that i.m.f. policy that's big business big banks we must say that the terms of the loan agreement imply layering taxes for big business big banks and raising taxes for the average way its owner. student groups in canada making legal moves to overturn a law designed to suppress the three months of protests over a hike intuition fees you cause them to give eight hours notice ahead of a rally and the students say that's unconstitutional they came back authorities move have only fueled of the protesters anger with one hundred thousand that taking part in a demonstration earlier this week the rallies have led to violent clashes with police and over two thousand five hundred arrests and sped read student newspaper editor corey pool things the movement is taking on the ever growing significance. of the government is trying to make it a lot. they try to keep it as

a student issue that it's a student issue led by simply students and. it can be it can be called with maybe some simple negotiations 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 fact of what you wish an increase in 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 this issue or will simply go away. and it's not just keep baghdad seeing anger growing as reports online protests spill into on target u.s. students pledge to stand shoulder to shoulder with those railing in other cities. and also at our deeds i'll call my medals of does on the dissolution of american

soldiers are throwing away their military decoration as a water for what they regard as an unjust war. welcome back many muslims living in the united states are getting accustomed to the growing suspicion they get from the law enforcement the government's justification is that it helps prevent terrorist attacks but of the muslim community believes it's being unfairly victimized as medina novel reports. 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 that i wasn't sure about the people that were coming up the mosque if there was somebody i knew at the mosque that i had never seen i would

always feel in the back of my mind that you know was 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 seem 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 and 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 african-american said were the fifty's sixty's seventy's i think it's a war a religious war i think it's targeting. 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 nicety. but it's 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 this 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 the i'm format in the question archie reporting from los angeles california now over a billion people use the lights all facebook and twitter but next we ask if we're all getting a bit wary of being wiod. 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 this 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 tried to like the like of putting too much of my personal information on this kind of social network for you i love you one provision was like clinton but the public ones like to be very specific about 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 online 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 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 we 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. am a little bit sick of it but we have to be really good right so it just seems to be

so omnipresent now that i think there's something bigger and greater and better going to come about. yet the second coming of jesus is going to come through social media and x. that word has twitter that's our you don't need to be part of jesus that's what i'm sure he has 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. around the world in brief right now let's take a look on the iran's envoy to the un's nuclear agency says evidence of enriched uranium found at the underground bunker or if you to a technical glitch officials discovered traces that when twenty seven percent which is higher than the previous day thought the west was the spec's iran all building nuclear weapons which require you random and ridged up to ninety percent to run denies the allegations. financial irregularities and internal conflicts at the

vatican have been exposed and the pope's butler have been arrested for the leaks police say he was any legal in the illegal possession of confidential documents including letters alleging corruption at the church's highest levels the vatican is already sleeping on the altar of a book containing memos between the pope and his personal secretary. a u.s. drone strike has killed at least four people in pakistan the missiles hit a house in the country's or was it is done tribal region security officials say those killed were taliban militants relations between the u.s. and islamabad have been turned since twenty four pakistani soldiers were killed in a nato air strike last november. one hundred twenty million fans have been glued to the t.v.'s tonight to see sweden win this year's your vision song contest there followed by russia was close behind but not all the countries have enjoyed full support at home ukraine has seen divisions over its entry in the final and there's

that alexia chefs who reports the country song for euro stirring an undercurrent of racism. the song be my guest sounds like an invitation singer 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 gautama 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 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 kiev's eternal flame which commemorates fallen 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 food a shows them firing weapons and using explosives this military wing of nationalists

has what it takes to wreck some real haversack full in 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 black fan is going to ukraine should should be very careful it is clear to me that these are people very serious about what they do they train physically to back it up with violence and watch 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 past form 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. reporting from kiev in ukraine. right to those were the main stories this all was stay tuned for more in a few minutes because all reports on how accounting fraud is now
