the un cries the brutal massacre of one hundred eight men women and children in syria details of their grisly death. the rebel accusations of government involve. lebanese. syrian rebels for a hefty profit and a slice of spiritual satisfaction. and leaders of the occupy movement gather together on julian interview program as he challenges their philosophy of worldwide .

it's good to have you with us here on r.t. today on rory sushi a life in moscow but he went to a security council has strongly condemned the murder of one hundred eighty men women and children in the syrian town of according to initial reports many of the victims were executed at point blank range rather than by our tillery bombardment the syrian government has flat out rejected a responsibility for the murders saying that a third party is behind the slaughter to stabilizing the situation syria's. rebel group reacted to the slaughter saying it won't abide by an international ceasefire unless the u.n. intervenes. more of the security council's response. and

united nations security council members cut their weekend short to hold a three hour closed door emergency meeting on the way to us developments in syria where on friday in the bloodiest 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 abhi noted nations security council members was released the security council has condemned these violence while and killings 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 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. meantime the rebels are adamant that the blame for the houla massacre lies with the

government but former pentagon official michael maloof says the rebel side of the story simply 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 so as the strife in syria drags on we take a look at the elaborate international network that's keeping the rebels locked and loaded. now reports in a deadly train driven by profit and faith salie

shows off. 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. parks shaadi not his real name also has rocket propelled and hand grenades which he showed me in private. or contact me every day we have a revolution next door. we talking shop his garage in tripoli lebanon on syrian rebels are his major clients are very popular but recently they're looking for really heavy stuff we buy from her and they're ours and resell they have a nerve and they're getting it for free as iran makes their entire story. it'll take no more than ten hours for this shot he says to reach lebanon's conflict and gulf to neighbor since the beginning of the uprising in syria last march arms prices have rocketed for some items the coast has gone up five and sometimes even

ten times and the more the conflict drags on the mall look at if it is for the weapons dealers but money is not the key reason shaadi is a sunni muslim and to him it's his holy do you t. to support his co religious fighters in syria for sure we. will help them topple assad till they do it in sunni dominated north lebanon where we meet the arms dealer those who want assad out are in the absolute majority and they are sending their religious brothers in neighboring syria a lot more than prayers. mad twenty nine year old field commander from the free syrian army was wounded during the baba amr siege earlier this spring together with other injured f.s.a. members his now having treatment in lebanon but his not stopped fighting entirely. we have support from syrian ex-pats everywhere in the world people from britain france saudi arabia also send us money weapons walkie talkies satellites the syrian

borders he says every day tons of these aid go through his hands but for him it's not enough as soon as he gets better he returned to syria. ahmed is a sellafield erotically sunni group whose influence in this part of lebanon is growing dramatically. their demonstrations in favor of the syrian uprising are also part of the support package everything counts. we also need some officiate almighty backley one of the founders of the band islamic group suspected of links to international terrorism but he says his input in the syrian revolt in sindh in the rebels the ideas and encouragement to achieve the ultimate goal would be to make all the overthrow of the sea and government will make all the scholars speak for against the steel army's issues make them all up lies against the c.i.

government and other similar fish a can triple the runs this car parts shop he confirms that every sunni and especially every salafist here in lebanon is involved either ideologically or financially in what he calls syrian liberation army already helped the tunisian and egyptian revolutions we want syrians now to get rid of this regime. shake muslim doesn't wear muslim white robes and keeps his beard secret to every cell of shot so as not to draw too much attention he says everybody has something these days just to see their mission and assad free syria completed. an r.t. reporting from northern lebanon. and the massacre in houla has also sparked calls for an emergency summit of the so-called friends of syria group of nations unconditionally backing the rebels as britain's foreign minister has met with his russian counterpart here in moscow all in an attempt to win russian support for

greater pressure on assad across while you got this one off as has more on the ongoing meeting were basically just wrapped up by means ago you got we were running the live pictures listening to the press conference or are we expecting syria to further dominate discussions. paul definitely this is the most important issue right now and we've already heard some statements from the both foreign ministers of russia and great britain we've heard both agreements and disagreements for example both foreign ministers agree that the kofi annan peace plan is the most important and probably all the way to get out of this crisis and to solve this crisis before that finally the violence in the country to stop but after that we did hear some disagreements for example you william hague said that president assad is mostly responsible for the violence in syria which talked about the recent

massacre in the poor old cells and well the solution now as british foreign minister said that as the head of state president assad is mostly responsible of all he did was will say that to you on the opposition is a partially responsible for some of the violence and he said once again that great britain sees. well the. assad regime has to step aside for this violence to stop whilst foreign minister said at the level of says that for russia it's not really that important which regime is power in syria it's the internal issue of the time she but what's mostly important is for the violence to stop and in order for that equal pressure has to be applied on both sides of the conflict not only on assad's regime but also on the opposition and

russia's foreign minister is also stressed that another important thing besides uniting the opposition and the authorities and getting them to these peaceful negotiations for the violence and finally stop the second most important thing is for all. the outside pulling yours as you call them for the international community community to all so unite in their position in order to be able to productively help solve this problem and for the coffee on peace plan to be conducted first of all by both sides of the conflict in syria itself said you know i would offer is also mentioned that when it comes to a regime change and he was talking about specifically some of the. countries in the middle east and reminded how russia applied the pressure on assad regime in order for some of the monitors from the arab league to get inside the

country and see for themselves what's going on their foreign minister said go i would have said it was really and still really is unclear to russia why were these monitors from the arab league. why did why did they leave the country and he said that this kind of hints that some of the states in the middle east are not really interested in the stopping the violence but are more interested in changing the other countries' regime so these or some of the disagreements that too it was talked about with her today but once again both sides did agree that coffee on and speech plan is the most important way in the main way right now you know order for this crisis in syria to be solved and the final violence to finally come to an end all right so you're going to certainly a very interesting press conference there a lot of political tiptoeing going on

a while i think to some degree william hague and so he left off almost agree to disagree on certain aspects been afraid we just don't have time to get in the details here but certainly international politicking at its best are going to piss going off many thanks indeed. now we are coming to live from the heart of moscow still to come in this program that of bias backlash mainstream news outlets in the u.s. are rapidly losing viewers to alternative sources as more people refuse to swallow the corporate spin. montreal boiling over people of all ages and walks of life joined local students are venting their anger over tuition hikes protest crackdown. julian a sign on the occupy movement phenomenon much ignored and condemned by the mainstream media and now though for the first time the two come together on our t.v. to discuss how the 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 any way counts or you know they're not them 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 yeah exactly and this is one of the points of the global justice movement which is there are these sort of newly created in ministries 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 that means 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 it 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 not to you. and of the show of julian assange and you series coming up at eleven thirty g.m.t. tomorrow if the you've missed the previous six just watch them any time you feel like it at a songe thought r t dot com plenty more other stories are to see on our website as well have a look here including this what should dare devils do if they get bored with skydiving or bungee jumping these russian adrenaline junkies who call themselves jumpers have a heart stopping. plus. no room for heroes hearty meets the american war veterans who felt so betrayed by the system that they threw their medals away in disgust.

it's good to have you with us here on r.t. today the us mainstream media is rapidly losing its audience as more viewers tire of a narrow news diet of people are increasingly looking for more accuracy and objectivity outside the scope of corporate controlled outlets artie's marina porter has the story. 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 take some cues from

h.b.o.'s take and i report warns last month cnn's ratings 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. 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 would 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 at the store going on as they look on any 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 a 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 have 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 the 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 i had my team reporting the true story 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 put it 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 saying no to

this if you were an important i.r.t. of new york city. twenty minutes past the hour here on r t quebec's university student federation has confirmed it will return to negotiations with provincial orthe already is on monday the talks over chewer sion fees stalled over a month ago sparking a wave of ongoing mass protests in montreal but government treatment of protesters indicates the science in nowhere near a compromise as artie's guyon h.t. 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 have now joined the ranks of protesters. it is something that we should and have to do in this region but that's not a good time we have to be there and we have to make noise it does its agenda of democracy if we keep on this way and the farther on our own goal on the ground

harder for 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 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 yet that's not the country always the ductwork to think about don't know. i think they're going to understand or for democracy and they're inside for quite a bit and the first time i have a higher leverage narrative or to start more ads or observe this sort of thing i got a day after the anti protests 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 into the demonstration there or there had been tear gas. 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 canadas me. via or in spending much time showing incidents of police brutality. journalists in canada live in which the politicians and live looks. good the gang guys making the rules so 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 now they 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 that if you do. the government of the problem the gatherings were generally very peaceful but the police reaction was overwhelmingly harsh and if that wasn't enough to banks leaders think thanks a lot 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 on from the streets of montreal canada r t. the government's reluctance to serve the interests of the middle class while a bludging big corporation has enraged the public on both sides of the atlantic now the matter is tackled in the latest edition of people avails cross-talk that'll be at eleven thirty g.m.t. for now preview. just two months ago i got a letter from the r.s.a. i was over 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 the employees 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 flying out to you all beings exist that's. there when you want to lay off people would you like me to read your employer on this because you are my life right now anyway all right. let's go to then i really really hope rachel rachel is not into the job creators come from the wealthy nonsense i mean come on all grecian comes from john. my starter i'm going to be a traitor to the region or i'm sorry joy on twitter i create jobs and i'm for people . who are not let's cross over to k. to study by the author of the stuff part of the update good to see you are going to tell us a story of the world a foreigner absolutely it is i'm pleased to say sawing with asia they ended high this monday and i managed to snap a three day losing streak also as well the momentum is high in the european region

as well they're extending their guys made from last week with a foot eight tenths of a percent the dax six tenths of a percent no it doesn't seem pretty content with the situation in greece at the moment and that's because we had a poll coming out saying that the people are warming to the pro year right policy new democracy and that's. well in comparison to a recent report saying that they were pro the so rich the policy. against the euro so best is a really pleased about this at the moment and the demonstrating that in their action in the markets today now it's not all blue skies we do have one black cloud and that's the spanish bank here bag. and now tumbling when c. sends and that's all to the news came out the spanish government will inject twenty four billion dollars and that might get the biggest bailout in spain's history but the one to watch now let's see the common currency now we know that the euro dollar

has had a real turbulent time on the recent weeks on the market but now it's high and that's despite a record number of six that thing is to tell mole but it's not at the moment it's one twenty five seventy s. when you see the ruble as was going to make for form is against the bosco carless and the guy in that car is well has seen a lot of investors for way to safer haven such as the u.s. dollar and it's also benefiting from those high oil prices as well this hour. and moving on through the markets we'll see how the russian markets are forming this hour and that's still feeling the love. percent off of the my says around in the same region that also benefiting from those high oil prices and we get on to the stocks with the who's really getting an egg and it's probably no surprise that we've got rough yet lupul day in this aspect as well the biggest lead here in russia is also pricing gains of around one percent we're also waiting on news about

the acquisition of a turkish bag. and moving on which will have a look at those oil prices and mention they are indeed gaining as little as the sentiments going into these prices at the moment got us stockpiles getting twenty two month highs that was most of the tensions in iran as well playing the role as well as i read this just now i think this is an interesting one and after his second largest oil producer will reduce its daily crude exports ok they don't all to talk of down time most those legendary chart michael has been given a proper backup to succeed russia second largest lead to specify the city hall have agreed to jointly help the power to increase its production to up to one hundred fifty thousand calls a year by twenty ninety according to the plan who will be assembling vehicles of the brand names of global car majors fears and hunger among the most unlikely partners now the total project investments will reach three hundred seventy five million dollars no most of the russian job market increases attractiveness for high

skilled foreigners last year the country's top recruitment service had tons of says the number of c.v.s. applied by ex-pats rose by eleven percent most of the applicants all native english speakers looking for a position in oil and gas or the banking sectors they say russia's growing economy looks like a more promising what destination and that is in light of all the global economic scene that we're seeing out so the us markets for the obvious fifteen minutes with the latest figures good stuff or do could be thanks very much so you're saying. ok in just a moment it'll be at the headlines and then a very special report on the search for americans. in the world of.

cultures that so much was made musingly maybe even a lot of people a very unhappy look at me thinking the welfare state while attempting to save a struggling middle class are we reaching the point where society has ripped apart by socialism.
