worldwide news live from moscow this is artsy with me rory suchet it's good to have you with us the u.n. security council has strongly condemned the murder of one hundred eight men women and children in the syrian town of houla according to initial reports many of the victims were executed at point blank range the syrian government has flat out rejected responsibility for the murders saying a third party is behind the slaughter and aimed at destabilizing the situation syria's largest and best on the rebel group reacted to the school saying it won't abide by international ceasefire unless the u.n. intervenes correspondent and i see a church going to now has more on the security council's response. united nations security council members cut their weekend short to hold a three hour closed door emergency meeting on the way to developments in syria where on friday in the why do you just massacre since the. anti-government clashes

started on the ground 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 to all be noted nations security council members was released the security council has condemned these violence while its hearings which included artillery and tank shellings the security council says this is a breach of international law and agree 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 well meantime of the rebels are adamant that the blame for the houla massacre lines with the government the former pentagon official michael maloof says the rebel side of the story it just doesn't add up. there's been allegations that there were gangs that are under the control of the government but the 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 have come in and systematically killed all these people up close like that the opposition has been infiltrated by al qaeda that is. i think you have certainly more radical elements that are coming in and plus are getting much more exotic. arms in order to. arm the opposition itself and strife in syria drags on we take a look at the elaborate international network that's keeping the rebels locked and loaded and financial reports on a deadly trade driven simply by profit and face. so . this is five thousand dollars and this is thirteen hundred eighteen hundred in two thousand the seven machine guns between two and a half and three thousand u.s.

a few critics of the assad regime he has been calling for the the stuff for up rules from the international community as specially after the recent massacre in the syrian town of houla and earlier mr hague said that he understood moscow's strong influence on syrian authorities and said he was going to try to talk. to applying more pressure on president assad in order to comply with the coffee on peace plan which is supported by both britain and russia but the relations between the two countries have been complicated including when it comes to syria london has been taking more the sign of the opposition while moscow has been promoting a more balanced approach so whether or not mr hague will be able to talk to be allowed into this approach is yet to be seen previously be released between britain and russia hit their lowest point to but to now they all are starting to

improve and among other issues which are going to be discussed at this meeting is ghana stance specifically russia's assistance to the military operation by the alliance there especially with britain expected to start pulling out its troops from the country and a wide range of other cultural and economic issues which could also boost relations between the two countries. right there this is a lie from moscow it's good of you to join us today still to come in the program by a backlash of mainstream news outlets in the u.s. rapidly losing viewers to alternative sources as more people refuse to swallow the corporate spin. plus montreal boiling over people of all ages and walks of life joined local students are venting their anger over true wishes. send your thirty's protest crackdown. julia sanj and the

occupy movement phenomenon much ignored by and condemned by the mainstream media now for the first time though the two come together here on our t.v. to discuss how the corporate alliance plans to change the world now recognize that public policy outcomes on happening at the national level and policymakers are actually the ones who are national parliaments they're elsewhere and the ones who are exciting policy on anyway accounts all you know one of them that's representatives and that's 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 matters like that which 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 remains 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 thus the result is 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 debts 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 out here. on the seventh show of julius and you series coming up tomorrow and live another thirty g.m.t. but if you've missed the previous six you can watch them anytime and on our team talk on plenty else to see on our website including these stories right now why shouldn't daredevils do if they get bored with skydiving or bungee jumping these russian adrenaline junkies who call themselves rope jumpers have one heart stopping . so. plus. no room for here where there's the american

war veterans who felt so betrayed by the system they threw the medals away in disgust. it's good to have you with us on our t.v. today the u.s. mainstream media rapidly losing its audience as more viewers tire of a narrow news diet people are increasingly looking for more accuracy and objectivity outside the scope of corporate controlled outlets as it is more important i reports. believe me i'm not 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 when you ask what makes the greatest country in

the world i don't know what i'm. venting their lives and their work in the world of nonfiction taking 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 i report awards last month c.n.n. is raving's 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 are in a panic about this. either 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 on his biggest global story was born in new york city it was largely ignored by most mainstream news outlets but. they are this organized they look funny what are they 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 new stickers but no mainstream t.v. cameras the occupy movement is it waiting for the all mighty powerful networks to show up and report about their demonstrations instead the grassroots group has need media distribution all part of its campaign creating newspapers like this one which

report 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. because. but i had my team reported a true story it was a top story

a story a lot of people didn't want to believe it was subjected to but to repeat propaganda barrage to discredit to a case in which art imitating life is going to call it. a life now seem more americans turning to the alternative and this comes less than a day after the city marina port ny r.t. new york in about five or six minutes it will be katie with the business for now though serbia's newly elected president has been criticized in the west for his nationalistic viewers still though he wants to join the e.u. that remains is a top priority during an interview with us here at odds he said that he intends to balance this goal with his convictions and you can watch the full interview in about fifteen minutes time for now though a quick preview. yes and i am a nationalist but i'm a democrat as well and as far as european values go we will respect them because of our constitution the constitution the target 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 but now it's difficult to change that but after achieving victory in an acceptable conditions during an incredibly dirty media campaign it's more probable that the media will change their opinion to 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 only 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 . i would offer from the world update here on r.t. finale quebec's university student federation has confirmed it will return to

negotiations with prevention law thora has on monday and the talks over tuition fees stalled over a month ago sparking a wave of ongoing mass protests in montreal but the government treatment of protesters indicates the sides are nowhere near a compromise as artie's gynae check out of reports. is not just about tuition hikes anymore even many of those who didn't care much about the problems facing students have now joined the ranks of protesters. it is something that we should. have to do in this region. and we have to be there and we have to make you guys it's the end of our democracy if you keep on this way and the farther on the. ground. in the future to ensure. the country and the city you need to 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 long 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 yet that's not the country always the ductwork to take out although. i think very hard to understand or for democracy there inside for to better. the first time i have three hundred narratives or to start in their ads or observe this sort of thing i got 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 been demonstrations there there had been tear gas. a

lot of physical or station 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. all journalists in canada live in which the politicians and live which good good good good good the gang guys 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 because if you did don'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 the students of kept back versus 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 beck's 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 obliging big corporations so enraged the public on both sides of the atlantic now the battle matters tackle of the latest edition of peter lavelle's cross-talk that will be next hour here on r.t. for now though a quick taste. just two months ago i got a letter from the r.s.a. i know there were three hundred dollars for a mistake that i made an honest mistake that i made right 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 you know. 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 not how you want beings exist that's. what they're
