russia are split over the syrian crisis while both agree kofi annan peace plan is the country's only salvation they do remain divided over its implementation. that is the un decries the brutal massacre of one hundred eight men women and children in syria details of a grisly death cast doubts on the rebel accusations of government involvement. and leaders of the occupy movement gather together on. the program as he challenges their philosophy of worldwide.

on air and online twenty four seven this is with me rory suchet live in moscow kofi annan peace plan faces a severe test as the man behind the initiative arrives in syria just days after one of the bloodiest episodes in the uprisings history have a mess in moscow the foreign ministers of britain and russia say they are committed as ever to the plan with the glaring differences. it's going to. go to what exactly is it that splitting the two countries apart so much. well right before coming to moscow william hague the british foreign minister pointed out moscow's strong influence on the syrian authorities and he said that one of his main goals was to talk the russian foreign minister into applying pressure on president assad even though london acknowledges that it was not responsible for all

the violence in the country while russia's foreign minister lavrov says that moscow applies pressure on syrian authorities almost on a daily basis but it's not really clear why this pressure is being applied only on one side of this conflict with regards to me and we're dealing with a situation where both parties probably were involved in the deaths of innocent people our priority is to stop the killings in syria and we believe this must be everyone's priority but when some of our partners start saying that we only solution is regime change i start doubting their sincerity when they say they want to end the violence. when both foreign ministers strongly condemned the violence in syria especially the recent massacre indeed town of houla and agreed to that in the current state of things the only way out of this crisis is coffee on ns peace plan although they did seem to disagree on some of the ways of

achieving it at the same time russia's foreign minister lab or office stressed that it's not only vital right now to get both the rebels and the syrian authorities to the negotiations table to put their weapons down and all peaceful dialogue but also for the international community or outside players as he called them also to reach a unified position and only when that happens according to a signal level of the course the on peace plan will feel. that you that. you're going to is going to thanks very much. well as you go to a saying william hague and so he left off of condemned the recent massacre in houla the un security council has also condemned the motor of one hundred eight men women and children according to initial reports many of the victims many of the victims that were executed a point of blank range rather than by artillery bombardment the syrian government

has flat out rejected responsibility for the murders saying a third party is behind the slaughter aimed at destabilizing the nation syria's largest and best armed rebel group reacted to the slaughter saying it won't abide by an international cease fire unless the u.n. intervenes artie's honest i see a truck and 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 wait as 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 a 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 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. lot of 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 it 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 and thus the strife in syria drags on we take a look at the elaborate international network that's keeping the rebels locked and loaded for national reports on a deadly trade a driven by two issues profit and faith. as solace shows off his goods. this is five thousand dollars this is thirteen hundred eighteen hundred and two thousand and seven machine guns between two and a half and three thousand u.s. bucks shaadi not his real name also has a look at propelled and tend grenades which he showed me in private people come to 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 it it is for the weapons dealers but money's 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 no fly zone 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. ahmed 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 with france saudi arabia also send us money we buy weapons walkie talkies satellites in 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. is a sellafield a radical sunni group whose influence in this part of lebanon is growing dramatically. there are demonstrations in favor of the syrian uprising

a role so part of the support package everything counts. we also need some a fish a call might have bakley 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 send in the rebels the ideas and encouragement to achieve the ultimate goal what would be to make all the overthrow of the government we will make or the scholars speak for against these issues and make them all up lies against the c.i. government and other selfish a can triple the runs this car parts shop and play confirms that every sunni and especially every salafist here in lebanon is involved either ideologically or financially in what he calls syrian liberation. already help 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 sacred to

every selfie shot so as not to draw too much attention he says everybody sacrifices something these days just to see their mission and assad free syria completed. an r.t. reporting from northern lebanon. it's ten minutes past the hour here in moscow still to come for you that of biased 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 venting their anger over jewish and hikes and the authorities protest the crackdown. julian assange and the occupy movement phenomena much ignored and condemned by the mainstream media now though for the first time 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 the policy makers actually the ones who are national parliaments they're elsewhere and the ones who are exciting policy on any way counts or not them that's what some steps 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 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 by means of first really effective planetary bureaucracy which was created in the name of the sort of free market ideology which is supposed to stand against the bureaucracy 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 shaded by these sort of through these global mechanisms but yours can't because your politicians are beholden to them and not to you. the seventh show of julia sanjeev series are coming up tomorrow at eleven thirty g m t but if you've missed the previous six watch them at your own leisure not a song. called also the many many more stories you see on our website including this here what should dead devils do if they get bored with skydiving or bungee jumping these russian adrenaline junkies who call themselves road jumpers rather heart stopping. plus. no room for heroes the american war veterans who felt so betrayed by the system that they threw their medals away in disgust.

it is 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 people are increasingly looking for more accuracy and objectivity outside the scope of corporate controlled outlets but this story is artie's marine important. 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 world 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 four 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. they are at the store going on as they look for there is 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 of part of its campaign reading newspapers like this one which report about political financial and social stories that are either blotted out more rarely addressed by most mainstream news outlets in the us how

a dozen giant 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 mothered c.b.s. 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 it was subjected to but to repeat propaganda barrage to discredit to a case in which art imitating life is in the toilet. a life now seeing

more americans turning to the alternative and this comes less than saying no to this if you were in a port ny r.t. new york times we'll get to the aussie world cup that in just a couple of minutes from all those serbia's newly elected president has been criticized in the west for his rather nationalistic views still though joining the e.u. does remain his top priority during an interview with r.t. he told us how he intends to balance his goal with his convictions you can watch the full interview in about fifteen minutes time for now though a quick preview. yes 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 cost can eat 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 and 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 . shortly katie will join us with the business but for now a university student federation has confirmed that it will return to negotiations with prevention author already is on monday the talks over two wishing fees stalled over a month ago sparking a wave of ongoing mass protests in one tree all but government treatment of protesters indicates the sides are nowhere near

a compromise where the story artie's guy in a chicken. 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 potentially again and we have to be there and we have to make noise it does it's the end of democracy if you keep on this way and the farther on our own goal on the ground harder for the future to ensure. that 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. this is a map of montréal yet that's not the country always that just works with a couple don't know if i can drive out there is sad or for very much very very sad for cambridge and the first time i have a high leverage narrative or to start the 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 to do that once ration their 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 that get

arrested ready canada's me. dhea or in spending much time showing incidents of police brutality. journalists in canada live in which the politicians and live which. gang are 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 his brutality 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 the government of the problems they 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 on from the streets of montreal canada r t. well the government's reluctance to serve the

interests of the middle class well obliging big corporations and raise the public on both sides of the atlantic the matter is tackled in the latest edition of people of elves cross-talk next hour for now a quick taste for ya. 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 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 flipping out how you're beings exist that's. their employer you want to lay off people would you like me to reduce your employer you know this because you are my life right now i mean. i really really hope rachel rachel is not into the job creators come from the wealthy nonsense i mean

come on our great nation comes from the job creator myself exactly to the original i'm so rachael i'm very proud and i create jobs and i employ people. and across talking about his time here but for now starting with pakistan let's get to the world and thousands of the calling for the country's prime minister yousaf raza gilani to resign it comes off that he was convicted for contempt of court for refusing to reopen an old corruption case against the pakistani president opposition party leader says he'll follow the titian against parliament's failure to force him to step down. the winter storms have raised through central chile leaving at least one person dead and the thousands homeless three day so heavy rain and seventy mile per hour winds have cut off power washed out roads and down the east many homes and businesses

a lot of families in the area affected are now living in temporary shelters which the chilean president sebastian pinera has been visiting. if you started by separately of the altar you prisoners there it's good to see you again a moment ago there you were talking about so the importance of oil prices but now what's all this about all of oil yeah absolutely the prices are really creating a stir in the markets because they've now hit a ten year lows and we talked a bit later on but first it's three the markets together i can tell you the asian markets they ended higher something a three day losing streak the european markets on the elf and they're extending the gains made from last week now the people of greece already swing towards the pro euro part is now was giving a sigh of relief on the mall it's a bit of an upper leg of the situation in spain is still looking so we know that the spanish government pumped twenty four will live into the troubled land bank and that means that it would effectively be nationalizing the banks so that is because

we've got the exchange rates we use well we'll see how the your idol is performing at this hour one twenty five ninety three says danny has decided they are not despite our list of record numbers saying that they're expecting it to really take a nosedive we've got the ruble as well it's getting against us though and it is lower against the year at this hour and that moves us on to the russian markets we'll see if they're still managing to hold on to their gains and they are indeed extending them but we also yes on the my sixth one point three percent let's have a look at all the movies and say it is this. one point seven percent market. is a really anticipating this do to do with the turkish bangkok's on the way we've also got lukoil as well two point five percent up in the us despite that first profit net profit losing eighteen of her says as well as that we've also got ten k. be paid by all down this out around eight tenths of a percent and that's off to the c.e.o. has resigned let's talk about jobs. it was a rush it is a job market increase in its attractiveness for high skilled foreigners last year
