lol. when one of his count thirty two children among the dead in the western syrian town of houla back to his claim government troops have massacred more than one thousand people. prime minister dmitri medvedev takes 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 the georgia regime still get no appetite for opposition year after violently disbursing independence day rallies.

it's six o'clock here in moscow you're watching r t i'm to bomb would say let's take a look at the stories first u.n. monitors confirmed tanks and heavy machine guns have been used to pound 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 in france are the friends of syria group that's keen to remove president assad and once the opposition condemned the violence and called an urgent meeting there are also reports that the free syrian army is now refusing to abide by the u.n. peace plan parties or sarah ferguson has been covering events in syria for some time says politics has to go on the back burner and when people are losing their lives daily. this is just a devastating tragedy for those people confirmed killed for 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 moscow just the other day i'll tell you where the fire. analyst possibility lies 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 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. 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 say terminologies but what is what's the alternative you know you're 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 thousand is going to get it behind me and from that is. the security council guaranteeing 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 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 in 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 a civil war and i was very very wary of using those words but it really is that extreme john glaser from antiwar dot com says the west should review its tactics before supply more weapons to anyone in syria. the u.n. is unable to do much of anything because it's the reason the conflict has been progressively worse and has not gotten any better even with this cease fires because outside powers apparently insist on continuing to militarize the conflict

you have the us 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 this outside intervention in bold in both sides and it prevents a more peaceful resolution from from being forthcoming and outside powers need to think again if their policy right now is to militarize the conflict in arm either side prime minister dmitry medvedev has been appointed the chairman of the country's ruling united russia ponting his modernization mantra is already in evidence as he valid a major overhaul at the top as well as the whole primaries increase the democratic competition within the party it explains what to expect from united russia's new leader. first the problem was he did say that the party is in need of some of some

over holy writ to be more modernized he did now call on the party members to be war active on the internet she said that track to 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 posted 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 proofread of criticism because after all it is in the in the disputes and in conversations where the truth is being born 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 but in a person wasn't

a member of the united russia has been a yes is georgian government forces broke up already demanding president saakashvili quits and opposition voices are still feeling the full force of suppression the clashes last may saw two people killed as police use water cannons and rubber bullets to disperse the crowds dozens were injured and hundreds invested when officers tried to kid away for the country's independence day celebrations georgia will hold parliamentary and presidential elections later in the year but as maria the national found out there's little to cheer for anyone hoping for change. but also to stop the two one of georgia's main television channels slogan true claims the 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 channel one a state ran while the owners of the two others are starting to and in medi 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 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. 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 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 hard and also yelled how did i come here at all that i will 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 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 being very. brief notion out see really see georgia. when it comes to free speech everywhere else so much of it is down to a rampant take up of social media but later we ask if you're tired of tweets and

posts and likes. 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 later we asked 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 a demanding they sort out their own problems by paying their taxes christine the gods says she's got no intention of softening the country's bailout terms even though its territory and unemployment lead to a rise in suicides the social and political philosophy lecturer pena geodes sorceress a believes austerity will drain greece dry. i think she was honest insurer cynicism that's the cynicism all the ruling liberal global elites but just not telling the truth i think that's a fair comparison between nigeria and greece was totally unjust gris world

countries are facing the same right connie and austerity packages the same structural adjustments the same embedded neo liberalism it's 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 was 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 legitimately in greece are mainly those people are the social strata let's check tailored i.m.f. policy that's big business big banks we must say that the terms of the loan agreement imply leering taxes for big business big banks and raising taxes for the average wage earner citigroup's in canada making legal moves to overturn a law designed to suppress three months of protests over a hike intuition feeds you cause them to give eight dollars dollars is the head of

a ready and the students say that's unconstitutional they can back satori t.v. movies have only field the protesters and with a hundred thousand taking part in a demonstration earlier this week the rallies have led to violent clashes with police and eva two thousand five hundred arrests since february sued into newspaper editorial cool things at the movement is taking on ever growing significance. i think of the government is trying to make it a lot. to 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. i feel that it's an ideological issue it's a movement that has grown beyond the simple fact which was an increase and now encompasses many many problems. that are being brought up in the government. mismanagement of funds corruption within the government so this magic mismanagement

of the university system and generally people are really upset and i don't think this issue will simply go away and it's not just came back that seeing anger growing as we report online the protest spills into entire you tube as students blesses them shoulder to shoulder with those railing in that the cities. and also at r.t. dot com medals of just on the dissolution american soldiers are throwing away their military decorations i wonder what they regard as and i'm just a 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 reports. yes a fog 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 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 worshipper 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 or jury 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. i believe 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. fine 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. this is 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 be i'm met by in the bush in the archie reporting from los angeles california now all of

a billion people use the likes of facebook and twitter but we ask if we're all 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 to my facebook 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 yeah you know when mom start using social media time to go my grandma is actually using it to use no but not because i don't like being tried the like of putting too much of my personal information on this kind of social network photo you assume i love you one provision was like linked in 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 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 online nowadays 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 it's a threat whether it's on facebook were 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 that picture everybody to get more with a tender 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. am a little bit sick of it there 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. the second coming jesus is going to come through social media and the next worst is twitter about needed 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 see if anyone cares. up next around the world in grief right now iran's envoy to the un agency says evidence of enrich uranium found in an underground bunker was due to a technical glitch officials discovered traces that were interested twenty seven percent which is higher than previously thought the west as suspects iran of

million fans a june in to watch as sweden win this year's your version song contest but it was these spirit league run is. a russia that charmed the crowd with their hit party for everything. there were enough to give a whisky name there is fact of all second place with serbia taking third despite the life hearted nature of the vents not all countries enjoyed full support at home ukraine has seen division over its entry in the final and as i left the report the country song is stirring an undercurrent of racism. the song be my guest sounds like an invitation single 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 took over the pa the jury which decided by turner should go it was very biased they didn't let real ukrainian singers go to europe 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 the congolese father may have been hurt 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 negative like 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 the war veterans on victory day last year or cooking eggs and bacon on gives

a turn or flame which commemorates for the red army soldiers all the previous actions of ukraine's right wing radicals have been mostly acts of. they have rarely made headlines especially in the global media but whether you're a twenty twelve football championship coming to ukraine some pundits in the west believe this is about to change reporter brian flynn from britain sun use paper 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 haven 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 but it does make clear that any fans 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 pools for ukraine the ruling party's losing ground and september's vote may bring some of those radicals into parliament. now days no one would be surprised to see the nazi salute at folk festivals in western ukraine or nationalist some regional powers and 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 and glorifying everything ukrainian at the same time they are strongly supportive of their country's european integration. but with the increasingly vocal zina for becomes 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 ukraine. that's all the stories ahead for you for now in a few minutes of the kaiser reports on how accounting fraud is now a wall street business model as off the headlines with me.
