lol. when monitors counted 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 take the reins of power at the united russia party promising to reform the country's biggest political force and get rid of all the people that discredited. and destroying dissent with elections ahead of a georgia regime still got no appetite for opposition a year after violent disbursing independence day rather.

it's five o'clock here in moscow you're watching are you with me to bomb one day let's take a look at the stories first u.n. monitors confirm tanks and heavy machine guns have been used to pound the western syrian town of houla where activists say more than one thousand 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 came to remove present assad and fund the opposition condemned the violence and coldly urgent meeting there also reports that the free syrian army is now refusing to abide by the u.n. peace plan. sarah ferguson has been covering events in syria for some time says politics has to go on the back burner and people live their lives day. is just absolutely devastating tragedy and 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 actually spoke to the deputy foreign minister in syria he was in last. just the other day i also where the final responsibility lies for what's happening in the country right now the ball is not in the court of a 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 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 the syrian target from neighboring countries is 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.

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 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 you see in 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 felt that it's going to get even higher. than it is already. the security council going to civilian protection that is not going to even attempt to abide by

this ceasefire too deeply concerning because this sort of thing 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 it's not an easy process and whilst we were there with the u.n. observers here we traveled with them 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 but it really is that extreme. form on this we can cross live to washington and john glaser from antiwar dot com and shed some light on this story john please and thank you so much for joining us here on our t.v. now one may ask this so why was the u.n. an able to prevent this massacre. well the u.n. is unable to do much of anything because the reason the conflict has

been progressively worse and has not gotten any better even with this ceasefire is because outside powers apparently insist on continuing to militarize the conflict on the one hand you have the u.s. and other western countries along with the gulf states in the arab gulf states funneling money and weapons and other kinds of aid to the syrian opposition despite the fact that they themselves have committed crimes and on the other hand you have russia and iran continuing to send arms and support to the assad regime this outside intervention in bold in both sides and it prevents a more peaceful resolution from from being ports coming now i mean looking at the situation right now what is the like effect of this the latest blessid on the situation in syria. given given what's happened in the recent past with other such incidents that are you know very good highlight

some of the worst violence it causes more violence people get upset people start demonstrating more people start the opposition you know. uses their weapons for more and some more clashes come that's what i see as likely but again i should stress to watch what ought to happen is simply what the u.n. general secretary said. on friday he said that there are all sides have committed atrocities and outside powers need to think again if their policy right now is to notarize the conflict in on either side so we know what the un secretary said in terms of both sides taking some kind of responsibility for what's going on but some experts are saying that actually the opposition is the one that is likely to be you know they've been looking at in terms of the killing coming as they did

amid an offensive against government drew so are they to blame do you agree with that are they not to blame who's to blame for this. well i do think that there are elements of the opposition who. want to provoke a more robust international response against the assad regime and i don't think that that sort of strategy or behavior helps the situation at all on the other hand we can't give any credence or you know any. white sort of analysis to to the syrian regime they're committing terrible atrocities as well. but there is a first step to all this it's a complicated situation it's not easy to resolve and i'm not going to say you know i'm a genius in the end result but there's a good first step and that's precisely what the secretary general has has advised and what the u.n. envoy kofi annan has said stop sending arms to both sides and they will have leverage put on them to actually come to an agreement would you say now that calls

for an end to venture in are reaching fever pitch i mean is it not now in time for the west to come in and intervene and put an end to the bloodshed particularly because civilians casualties are now rising every day. western intervention would almost certainly be u.s. led and i think that many. smart and you know scholarly experts in the region and in syria understand that that would probably escalate the violence. we it would require all sorts of. probably a no fly zone acquire actual bombing of the country and a lot of the assad regime sort of anti aircraft. weapons are in civilian urban areas so that would cause even more civilian casualties. intervening on behalf of the rebel army would would probably not level the playing

field but it would probably make the assad regime dig in its heels even more i mean right now we even see already that the that the assad regime is justifying some of its violence. by saying that foreign intervention and you know sort of international terrorists are committing crimes in syria so they need to actually do this violence so you know this kind of intervention would probably escalate the violence and intensify the suffering of ordinary syrians what we need to do is back out and not. thank you john glaser edits at and t. want to accomplish sharing some of his point of these on the subject. prime minister dmitry medvedev has been appointed the chairman of the country's ruling united russia party his modernization mantra is already in evidence as evolved a major overhaul at the top as well as to hold primaries to increase democratic competition within the party it in i got to school explains what to expect from the

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 war active only internet she said that track to more young voters and younger members of the party is crucial to the party's development you also proposed primaries in order to create a greater competition within the party ranks he did say that the ruling posted in the party should be hard to acquire 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 free afraid 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's also the first a prime minister to actually belong to a party by him it was and wasn't a member of the united russia. it's been a year since georgian government forces the broke up are really demanding president saakashvili quits and opposition voices are still feeling the full force of suppression the clashes last may saw people killed as police used water cannons and rubber bullets to disperse the crowds dozens were injured and hundreds arrested when office to strike to care the way of the country's independence day celebrations georgia will hold parliamentary and presidential elections later in the year but as maria from north enough found out there's little to cheer for anyone hoping for a change. of ourselves to study 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 in their offices behind closed doors in georgia there are only three national channels broadcasting news channels one is state run while the owners of the two others are starting to see 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 of these three air often repeat each other which raises concerns over the it is tauriel independence especially as the country enters election season five months before parliament voting was just there 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 u.s. dollar but these are all 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 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 and interior minister 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 times will be blacklisted and would never find decent and i think this elections approach such pressure will only get tougher for most of the population here in told to get this news from the state owned of safe and free media the press is among the most tightly mourning in the run up to these presidential and parliamentary elections a lot of independent information means phone just will make a decision that is likely far from being informed and according to many far from being very. brief notion out see to really see georgia. when it comes to free

speech everywhere else and much of it is down to our rep and take up of social media but later we ask if you're tired of tweets posts and likes. one reason i think that i'm decent social media strategies because i am a little bit sick of it so we have to be really good later we are the residents of the big apple what they think the future holds for popular networks. the i.m.f. chief is shedding no tears for troubled greece or demanded they sort out their problems by paying their taxes christine legarde says she's got no intention of softening the country's bailout terms even though it's territory and unemployment led to a rise in suicides the social and political philosophy lecturer banerjee art is 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 sounds greece where the countries are facing the same right connie 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 docs they send in greece but the problem is that the people who regularly i've heard access and can do it legitimately in greece are mainly those people the social strata not some third 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 big banks and raising taxes for the average wage earner. suiting groups in canada

making legal moves to overturn a law designed to suppress the three months of protests of a hike intuition feeds it requires them to give eight hours' notice ahead of already and the students say that's unconstitutional they came back authorities moves have only a few of the protesters anger with one hundred thousand taking part in a demonstration earlier this week the readies have led to violent clashes with police and over two thousand five hundred arrests since for every student newspaper editor at cory's 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 negotiation but i don't really think that is exactly the case 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 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 or will simply go away. and it's not just came back that seeing anger growing as we report online approaches bill in toronto area june as students purchased and shoulder to shoulder with those railing in other cities. and also at r.t. dot com other metals of this on the dissolutions american soldiers are throwing away their village reject religion i wonder what they regard as an unjust to. many muslims living in the united states are getting accustomed to the growing suspicion they get from law enforcement the government justification is that it helps prevent terrorist attacks but the muslim community believes it's being unfairly victimized as my dinner question 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 that you know who is this person what are they in 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. agency for 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 and seventy's i think it's a war a religious war and 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 and 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 there is no city. that'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 behind format mind you the question archie reporting from los angeles california now all of a billion people use the likes of facebook and twitter but next so we all sleep well getting a bit wary of being wired. 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 the thing 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 is there do you know why not because i don't like being tried to like the like a 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 be very useful with well you know 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 of every meal they ate 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 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 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 it takes everybody to get more with that to understand that they actually

do social media strategy. yes so your life depends on social media a little bit i do other things as well but it's one of the 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. am a little bit sick of it so it has to be really good right it just seems to be so omnipresent now that i think there's something bigger and greater and better going to come about. than the second coming jesus is going to come through social media next worse has twitter that's armed i don't need to be part of jesus's twitter i'm sure he has what's 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 see if anyone cares. now let's take a look at the news around the world in brief he runs envoy to the un's a nuke the agency says evidence of enrich uranium found at an underground bunker
