a year ago took place where over one hundred people were killed including dozens of women and children prior to the meeting britain and france were calling for security council members to adopt a joint press statement pointing the fingers out the syrian government russia however who previously vetoed a regime change resolution on syria said it would prefer to wait to hear what the head of the un observer mission in syria had to say and this is why the meeting was adjourned now after the meeting a joint press statement abhi noted nations security council members was released the security council has condemned these violence while and hearings which included artillery and tank shellings the security council says this is a breach of international law and greet each of syria's commitments under united nations security council resolutions but what's important here is that the council also can condemned close range killings including knives being used to slaughter people and the key here is that it's not clear as of yet who was behind these close

range killings and russia says that the majority of the deaths took place at close range so it's important to discover who exactly stood behind that we do know of course that the syrian government has been denying any involvement in this massacre saying it had nothing to do with that but we have heard from the deputy russian foreign minister say earlier that a clear and careful investigation into this massacre has to take place and the united nations observer mission is currently conducting such an investigation the rebels are adamant that the blame for the who messes with the government but a former pentagon official michael maloof says the rebel side of the story just doesn't add up. there's been allegations that there were gangs that are under the control of the government but that whole area was actually here is actually under the control of the free syrian army so i don't see how the government forces could

ominous the much ignored and condemned by the mainstream media now for the first time the two come together on r. and d. to discuss how the n.t. corporate plans to change the world exclusive show in full tomorrow at eleven thirty g.m.t. but here's a taste. now recognize that public policy outcomes on happening at the national level and the policy makers are actually the ones who are national parliaments they're elsewhere and the ones who are exciting policy on anyway accounts or you know one of them where plans to announce a global phenomenon i mean should we all just have a global financial crisis we have a global political crisis because our institutions no longer function exactly and this is one of the points of the global justice movement which is there are these sort of newly created in ministry of global planetary political mechanisms that would like the w t o like the i.m.f. the people at least in places like the us weren't even supposed to know exist but were in fact governing the world to them is the first really effective planetary bureaucracy which was created in the name of the sort of free market idiology which

is supposed to stand against it but in fact exactly the opposite that's the result as always in the name of democracy because that's the thing which is obviously lacking the financial crisis just brought it home especially in the matter of that i think where you know became very clear that the depths of the big players could be completely really go shielded by these sort of through these global mechanisms but yours can't because your politicians are beholden to them and not tear. the us mainstream media is rapidly losing its audience as more viewers tire of the narrow news diet people increasingly looking for more accuracy and objectivity outside the scope of corporate controlled outlets as my read up on ai reports. believe me i'm a boy he's the most trusted fictional name in news the lead character of h.b.o.'s upcoming series newsroom is on a mission to tell the truth in the face of u.s. corporate and commercial pressures where you are what makes the greatest country in

the world i don't know what i'm. venting their lives and their work in the rules of nonfiction morgan holding its annual shareholders meeting america's corporate owned news networks that rarely challenge the status quo might want to take some cues from h.b.o.'s fake show and iron ore awards last month cnn's ravings dropped to their lowest in a decade here on the nominees in march fox lost nearly twenty percent of their viewers and for years and as n.b.c. has consistently remained least popular among all three if you went into the board rooms in the executive suites of these media companies they're in a panic about this. other peter hart is the activism director at fair a us media watchdog group he says an increasing number of americans are abandoning mainstream media for alternative independent or foreign news outlets once people shift and say c.n.n. is not for me fox is not for me on this and b c isn't doing what i really want them

to do or need them to do then it's hard to get them back how do you convince somebody that your media system works when their experience tells them that it doesn't when last autumn's biggest global story was born in new york city it was largely ignored by most mainstream news outlets but. this organized a look thought it was one of the protesting nobody seems to know until it became impossible to suppress. this spring the fight against corporate greed is still being waged but at this event in times square demonstrators are surrounded by news tickers but no mainstream t.v. camera. the occupy movement is it waiting for the almighty powerful networks to show up and report about their demonstrations instead the grassroots group has made media distribution all part of its campaign creating newspapers like this one would

support about political financial and social stories that are either blocked out more rarely addressed by most mainstream news outlets in the us how a dozen conglomerates currently controlled mainstream media. critics say this leaves just a few companies capable of strangling the voice of america's free press the first amendment just keep shrinking it in for. a handful of profiteering corporations who don't care a lot about journalism don't care a lot about democracy have taken control reporting the truth means risking all the dangers of digging too deep cost america's legendary newsman dan rather his coveted chair at c.b.s. the trust a journalist was forced to resign after reporting that george w. bush went missing during his national guard service to avoid being drafted to vietnam mother you know because i and my team reported a true story it was a tough story a story

a lot of people didn't want to believe and it was subjected to a terrific propaganda barrage to discredit to a case in which art is imitating life is the tone of. a life now seeing more americans turning to the alternative and this comes less than the day after the city marina port ny r.t. new york times which you know fifty point people and says she's center of florence joining us live now from the west coast we're going to exist so this isn't just a bit of sort of the incident. if you miss something on the air you can always catch up online let's see what our websites got and still for you right now what would a dead nobles do if they get bored with skydiving all bungee jumping these russian adrenaline junkies will call themselves the right. thing on subplots. no room for he runs our teammates the american war veterans who felt so betrayed by the system that they threw their medals away in disgust.

welcome back so b. as a newly elected president has been criticized in the west for his nationalistic views now he aims to bring his country closer to membership during an interview with r.t. he told us how he intends to balance this goal with his convictions you can watch it in full in about fifteen minutes but here's a preview. i am a nationalist but i'm a democrat as well i'm just far as european values go we will respect them because of our constitution and the constitution that. and i wrote together i respect it sincerely i'd like to bring order to serbia the way that germany is organized probably a lot of time will pass until the western press accept me treats me fairly as for

many years they've written about me negatively now it's difficult to change that but after achieving victory and unacceptable conditions during an incredibly dirty media campaign it's more probable that the media will change their opinion too moreover i showed that i want to be the president of all the citizens of serbia but i've resigned the position as head of the party that i found it really three years ago and i took it to the top of the serbian political scene i left it as if it was a child and now my objective is to make serbia a developed and successful country and for that i need the support of all citizens . kubrick's university student federation has confirmed it will return negotiations with provincial authorities on monday that talks over two asian feeders stalled over a month ago sparking a wave of ongoing mass protests in montreal the government treatment of protesters indicates the sides are no india compromise as guy energy can reports.

it's not just about to wish and hikes anymore even many of those who didn't care much about the problems facing students in keg have now joined the ranks of protesters it is something that we should and have to do in this region but that's ok and we have to be there and we have to make noise you guys it's the end of the democracy if we keep on this way and the father of her own colangelo grown daughter in the future to ensure. the country and the new tool tens of thousands marching every day making a noise to express anger at what they see as draconian government measures to suppress people's rights to freedom of assembly and expression earlier this month the government here adopted an emergency anti protest law to make it illegal to assemble without permission and to insist on a precise road map of any planned march or demonstration despite it this is

a map of montréal yes that's not going to always that exact words would think of although. i think that there is sound for democracy and very sorry for to break. the first time i write a five minute narrative because stars in their ads are doing this sort of thing i guess a day after the anti protest law was passed a quarter of a million people spilled onto montréal streets in defiance in a peaceful march more than seven hundred were arrested in just one day there were people coming out from the bar actually at that time and they were arrested and they weren't going to do demonstrations by their there had been tear gas fear. a lot of physical or spatial but the people keep more change and banging their pots and pans each now risking a fine of up to five thousand dollars when there are so many people they can't

arrest everybody canada's media. aren't spending much time showing widespread incidents of police brutality. journalists in canada live in which the politicians and a live look good good good good good the gang are making the rules show they don't going to get outside and see what's happening in the streets really and they don't want to know about these brutality didn't want to know about it. you can see how dramatically the protests have evolved over the past three months in february when they started it was that you do took a back seat the government of the problem the gatherings were generally very peaceful but the police reaction was overwhelmingly harsh and as if that wasn't enough to banks leaders thought a quick fix law to quell the protests would spell the end but it did and now they're facing anger over fees and freedom i'm going to check out from the streets of montreal canada r t. the government's reluctance to serve the interests of the

middle class while blinding big corporations has enraged the public on both sides of the atlantic the matter is tackled in the latest edition of peta lavelle's cross talk at seven thirty am g.m.t. here's a taste. just two months ago i got a letter from the r.s.a. i was over there with three hundred dollars for a mistake that i made an honest mistake that i made but meanwhile you have multibillion dollar corporations that literally hire lawyers and accountants to make sure they don't pay any taxes right but yet they want to they want to be here and they want to know that. they don't want they don't want to contribute but they don't want to contribute to the greater collective right this idea very well being individual and then finally i'm floating out to you all beings exist that's. there when you want to lay off people would you like in the radio if you're employed on this because you are my life right now i mean. what's good about it and i really really hope rachel oprah was not into the job creators come from the wealthy

nonsense i mean come on all grecian comes from what i was john creator myself i'm a generation later in the original i'm sol rachael i don't think you are and i create jobs and i employ people. now a look at some other top stories from around the world gathered in calling for the country's prime minister. gilani to resign it comes up he was convicted for contempt of court for if using to reopen an old corruption case against the pakistani president opposition party leader in iran khan says he will file a petition against ottoman to force him to step down. powerful winter storms have raised through central chile leaving at these one person dead and thousands homeless three days of heavy rain and seventy mile per hour winds have cut off our washed out roads and damaged homes and businesses many families and are now back to the new areas now living in temporary shelters which of the chilean president sebastian pinera has been visiting. now let's get

over to the business desk kitty pilgrim is now mending the desk for us hi katie so how the markets became this monday morning they will right now going to cause a trait on the asian markets because they're up or rather i will kind of looking at a mix of you at the moment we do have some guys as you can see the china is around a quarter of a percent oppose it territory the nikkei in japan is about twelve places points down but we do have rises and that's because concerned over greece is actually easing and that's because we have opinion polls coming out over the weekend that is showing that voters are warming towards policies that are supporting the european union's bailout for investors but they do continue with caution and that's really tapping those broads against now that greece glimmer of hope that i'm talking about is helping to temper a report that showed the profit growth slowed for china's industrial companies but

as you can see the chinese stocks are indeed growing now also want to talk about a japanese company intend one of the top performers today and they get a close of that income from europe now let's have a look at wall street and see how they closed up shop on friday july first on the back you can see that we have the dow jones around six tenths of the cent down and that was because of the brain that was the big story coming out on friday to the financial help and that was really pushing those u.s. stocks down now when i look at the front to help them talk about the fact the standard and poor's cuts the rating of five spanish a by the so that and they also cited a double dip recession as well so that was really pushing some concerns in the raise this is how the euro dollar is performing because it is a day to day and that's the first time in five days that the traders favorite pair one twenty five ninety five is there we got the ruble that finished up on friday start trading in just under two hours time it finished up lurkers the u.s.

dollar and the euro's up. brings the song to the markets will see how they finished . as well now we were looking to. the russian economy attracting thirty six point five billion dollars of investment in the first quarter of the year the result was lower than low because of the global economic. that we're going to hear from chris now that he's from investment company trinkets our love and he's saying that this sentiment could approach. i think that we're coming towards the most decisive month of the year for global markets and three for russian equities you know we over the last couple of months we've had to build up all these problems performance in the u.s. economy some of this numbers there and you see a slowdown in china the continuing problems in europe so what we're there for hoping for is that over the next week some particularly focused around the g.

twenty meeting in the middle of june in mexico where we're hoping is that we will see more of a poor policy response from the world's biggest economies something similar to what we saw at the g. twenty meeting in april. which then led to stability in markets recovering. say those all important oil prices for the markets because they are indeed gaining and that will probably. a little bit of momentum here in moscow when the markets also want to say that us. twenty tensions in iran as well taking that. helping bump up those prices down. i'll be back in about fifteen minutes and. the katie interview with the newly elected president of serbia is coming your way in a few minutes and right after the top stories for you. and
