so once again it's only been in the syrian government the massacre in the town of say rebel forces but some of the responsibility for the deaths of more than one hundred civilians. as the syrian conflict drags on i investigated weapons trap again from neighboring lebanon on the way legal arms dealers are driven by profit and face. and russia's best game lab identified one of the world's most dangerous computer viruses used in cyber attacks across the middle it's.

online on screen and this is r t live from central moscow twenty four hours a day m to bomb a day let's take a look at just stories russia says are both the syrian government and opposition gunmen may have been involved in the deaths of more than one hundred civilians including over thirty children in the town of houla on friday speaking after meeting with his british counterpart in moscow foreign minister sergei lavrov want to gaze assigning blame for the massacre. of peace cannot pass the details brushes calling for an international investigation to be held looking into what happened in poor while the west including the united states and great britain are pointing their fingers at our sidewall the foreign minister a while roth says that it's too early to make any conclusions since it's clearly the situation is not one sided at all again you're all pretty good you the u.n. security council on sunday the head of the international peace mission in syria confirmed in houla there were signs of artillery and tank shelling but there were

also many coupes is we've heard. from close distance signs of a slaughter both sides apparently had a hand. people including women and children this is very is under the control of the military and it's also surrounded by government troops and the u.n. security council has the u.n. observer mission on the ground to gauge what exactly happened in houla moscow is now lifting the responsibility from assad for the violence but is stressing that equal pressure has to be applied both on the authorities and on the opposition and it's not only vital for them to put their weapons down and peaceful you negotiate but also for the international community for all the outside players to reach one unified position and so you are off says only in that case could be peace plan be fulfilled which is currently the only way out of the crisis so you are also

outlined that moscow is in contact with both the and the opposition and he says that from these contacts with the rebels it's clear that some forces outside of syria but within the region are giving them other signals which are not at fulfilling the peace plan but are actually aimed at violating boosting calls for foreign military intervention the foreign minister has called on these players to make up their minds whether they want regime change or the stop of the deaths of people in syria now the u.s. in the meantime is once again one in syria it could face an armed intervention america's top soldier one that the pentagon is prepared to act militarily if and when it is all seem your political analyst eric draitser says this would not be the first time washington used and atrocity as an excuse for action leading to devastating consequences. i think it's being taken quite seriously we've seen a precedent in the last ten fifteen years with the united states in particular in the balkans if we remember the pretext of suppose it serbian ethnic cleansing in

kosovo was one of the main reasons why president clinton was able to lead a military intervention in kosovo the same is true here in syria the situation at the united states doesn't seem to be able to control and so it looks like the houla massacre may be the pretext that they would like to use in order to launch a military intervention in order to instigate regime change which has been the goal all along but we've seen the precedent set recently in libya if you want to call it a success i think you'd probably be not talking to the fifty to one hundred thousand dead libyans who would have something to say about whether or not that was a success the situation in syria is markedly different because i think that the united states and their western allies thought that the assad regime would have been toppled by now and because the assad regime has been holding on for so long it seems that the united states and saudi arabia qatar and the rest of their allies are down to their final option which would be military intervention not an ideal

situation for them but one that they're prepared to to go. earlier this week the b.b.c. use an almost ten year old picture of children's corpses from the iraq war to illustrate a story about the recent massacre in the syrian town of houla the photographer who took the picture has accused the broad cost of using his image to propagandize the killings the incident has called into question the accuracy of the information coming out of syria as well as a role of the media in the conflict for more on this i'm joined by journalist and human rights investigator keith snow thank you so much of the snow for talking to us here on our team now the b.b.c. took the image down to isn't this just an honest mistake of a broadcaster using the wrong picture nonsense the entire thing is a psychological operation you can see from the label activist and photo from activist i mean that's nonsense to the b.b.c. just doesn't do that they don't pull down photos from an activist post and without everything they do is fair ject this is propaganda no mystery no act well i love

that you actually did say that the b.b.c. does check everything now looking at the way things are now would you say that international news companies have been relying too much on so-called citizen journalists accepting reports from people who may have a political axe to grind. i don't know that there is much news coming from so-called citizen journalists the b.b.c. . the guardian the observer and c.n.n. they all use these top very high paid photographers worked out of his like mark a lot of the guy who's complaining about his photograph i mean michael or himself has made millions and perhaps i don't know hundreds of thousands of dollars on photography that is used to sell the western nato worse it's just total propaganda news everywhere so the system will rely on who you know whatever it needs complete fabrications used in the new york new york times about sudan for example complete fabrications used in the in the you know time magazine from eastern congo for

example it's a very consistent pattern of propaganda george orwell talked about it you know fifty sixty years ago. that any opinion could could this be good to meet at the ceiling the conflict even more could it be you know putting more fly into whatever smoke is already they are. c.n.n. is the is the pentagon's primary mouthpiece and then you have other major mouthpieces under them and in britain b.b.c. is the primary military out mouthpiece for the british military and for the m i six so it's certainly the propaganda these images are certainly used to paddle the war to sell the war on the american public and the manufacture of consent as we were given by the book on chomsky for example. now i just want to go back to what you said about it in terms of the citizen journalist thing i mean right now with the syria coverage we've had a lot of constricting. media coverage from there some you know journalists can't even get into the country come come some content can go out i'm just trying to

figure out here if you know if journalists and reporters can get into the country and we're using images from youtube and so forth isn't it just a can mistake that they might have picked up that picture from somewhere that could have had a different name to it and then use it we got us of the fact that they do do they affect checking quite regularly and quite strictly i mean everybody does it right now. this particular photograph claiming to be a massacre of children in syria was years sort of major element of propaganda accusing saddam hussein's government of killing all these children often first by so it was a nasty piece of propaganda it was very well known where his photograph came from is no actually behind this so the fact that the claim that we can't get journalists into syria i think is nonsense there are cia agents are in m i six agent there are most are agents all over the place in syria at this very moment as they were in libya manufacturing fox images about libya claiming to be you tube videos or

citizen journalism there is very sophisticated there's no way that people can if people believe that this is accidental or if it's serious and journalism really deceiving themselves are very well thought out if you know what well when you get right there thank you very much mr keith snow for that insight on that story think they're for. now weapon traffic into syria from lebanon has now become a reality with a constant flow of weapons going to the rebels and as artie's maria found out the men involved in this deadly business it is a matter of faith not just money as solar shows off his goods. this is five thousand dollars this is thirteen hundred eighteen hundred and 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 people come or contact me every day we have a revolution next door. we talking shop his garage in tripoli lebanon syrian rebels are his major clients are very popular but recently they're looking for really have the stuff we buy from hezbollah and their allies 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 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 shoddy is a sunni muslim and to him is his holy do you support his co religious fighters in

syria for sure we are with them to help them topple assad so they do it in sunni dominated no flab and on 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 france saudi arabia also send us money we buy weapons walkie talkies satellites to 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

sellafield a radical 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 omar bakri one of the founders of the banned islamic group suspected of links to international terrorism but he says his input in the syrian revolt in sending the rebels the ideas and encouragement to achieve their ultimate goal will cause the sea army to make a call at the overthrow of the government who 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 some a 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 we already helped the tunisian and

egyptian revolutions we want syrians now to get rid of this regime shake muslin 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 sacrifices something these days just to see their mission and assad free syria completed. an arty reporting from northern lebanon russian security experts say they found a powerful p.c. virus that they claim has been used for yes at a spy in middle eastern countries such as israel and iran tehran has already said that the virus was responsible for recent incidents of mass data loss in the country. and has more. experts russian internet security firm casper lab say they've discovered what they're calling the largest cyber attack ever calling the virus flame. most infected computers have been discovered in iran but

israel has also been attacked as has syria and other countries across the middle east it's sort of virus has been operating since august two thousand and ten but both cast perske and other internet security firms say it may have been stealing data from computers for years before that iran has already accused of us and israel of being behind the attacks and say that the virus may have been behind massive data losses that they've had in their computer systems recently because first you say it's too early to say who's behind the attack and they say it's unlikely israel would have been behind it because they were attacked themselves but they do add that this is a new stage in the level of cyber warfare across the globe and that cyber warfare itself could become a new level of intensity and that these viruses could become super weapons in that realm the flame virus is likely to go down in history as the third great cyber

attack of its kind in two thousand and ten to stuxnet virus attacked iran's nuclear program while the dooku virus was busy stealing data from computer systems around the world flamed though is much bigger its code is twenty times the size of stuxnet it and it can make use of a computer's webcam keyboard monitoring and also screen shots to steal data package it up and send it back to the attackers this level of sophistication and also the targets hit a what's making kaspersky lab think that this is a government backed cyber attack. juleanna son joined the occupy movement have much in common they both aren't afraid to criticize governments and often condemned by the mainstream media so now for the first time the world's most famous whistleblower and the leaders of the global protest movement come together on our team in the latest of us on his very own interview programs and they discussed the

global appeal of the occupy demonstrations. occupy. sort of similar for a while for the first week or two or ten days or something until it was forward. well yes i mean what are police mileage but nonetheless we did not provoke at least violence when we took a radical you can record speed we took a nonviolent direct action we went and we occupied the square so we could have a general assembly and starts talk about the world that we wanted to live in which we saw as completely antithetical to the world we're currently living in and the structures that governed it so yeah i mean i guess by being there by exercising directly democratic process we're posing a threat and so the police had to respond when there's nothing that terrifies american government so much as the threat of democracy breaking out in america. there for to react like. you can catch of the seventh

that's what it is mr president thank you very much for giving your time to this interview the international media see you as a nationalist in the right wing however you based your election campaign on good relations with the european union. that is the obvious that they are absolutely right i am a nationalist but i'm a democrat as well and as far as european values go we will respect the will because of our constitution and the constitution that tatted and i wrote together i respect it sincerely i'd like to bring order to serbia the way that germany has

organized it probably a lot of time will pass until the western press accept me treats me fairly as for many years now they've written about the negative 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 the book moreover i showed that i want to be the president of all the citizens of serbia. the launch you are free to support if you are traditional value to save you you have been stung by their voices at the thought i'm not afraid because europe is a very attractive partner for serbia and our country should meet almost all of the conditions that the e.u. imposes or this process should stop only if they ask us to renounce part of our territory i'm referring to kosovo overtalk it until now. i've been open and sincere with the citizens of serbia and i'm going to continue cooperating with the people but the moment they impose such conditions i told people immediately i think that's why i won't give my can i take it you know in our country the dismissal of

a president is almost impossible nevertheless my term will last five years only if the citizens allow it if they no longer want to see me in this position i will walk away right now i'm convinced that the politics that i've been representing are the only good politics for serbia mr beer. in your first statement after the elections you said that salvia will not turn away from the european path and at the same time you've promised to hold a referendum where the citizens will have to decide if they want to join the e.u. or not we keep this promise. misuse of order so that the referendum is going to happen we agreed with the democrats that when all the conditions are fulfilled for serbia's entry to the e.u. we will go to the papers with the question do you want to be in the e.u. they will decide that's how they did it in croatia only a few months ago but only after they had fulfilled all the conditions and when the e.u. had accepted croatia then they organized the referendum there i think it's necessary to cooperate with citizens

a lot more than in the past but that doesn't mean that i'm resigned to the european way that my only fear is that they'll impose conditions that i personally wouldn't accept but probably the citizens would say that's fulfill it too because we want to be in the e.u. i won with fifty percent of votes and i know that the other half of didn't support my ideas that's why i believe that i should ask them all to go there's a bit of these on the wall as those are going to come over tonight when serbia is in a difficult economic situation when the country's unemployment rate exceeds twenty four percent on the other side europe also has its problems and it's becoming poorer day by day so why do so still want to become members of the point you failed at the greek scenario could be repeated in your country love to go to quit as you know greece is another thing greece is a member of the e.u. which was spending way money then ago duesler was that because then one day it came out that it didn't have anything like it took advantage of the surveyor's which is not a state but a union if there is a trust one another one is that serbia is far behind any of the member countries

will serbia enter the e.u. i don't know first of all they have a crisis of expansion or you know today it's clear that we will be in during the next ten years at the same time they have the existential crisis the euro is a currency that's turning weaker by the day on the other hand it's a big question how long is germany going to help members of the union that's to say how long should german taxpayer support the countries in crisis as i promised to guide serbia to a path where no one could say that we don't want to and like you and the truth is that the world is a lot bigger. it has to be because my victory is a victory of the ideology of both the e.u. and russia will not be warfare. doesn't work that was interesting you don't see that sebi a will have to choose between the e.u. and russia you think it's possible to keep the right balance between them. you have a whole other level to i prefer not to have to make the choice of those that i'd like serbia to be at home with two doors one to the west and the other to the east he's the you know serbia simply belongs to the east as well as to the west we have

a traditional and deep relationship with russia not only in terms of origin but also in religion what's that history customers language for that we have a complimentary industries the flutist we've had exceptional economic relations since the second world war that we can be a good bridge between europe and russia and the best partner of russia in the east because of the love of the. it seems like serbia is always having to maintain conditions to become e.u. men's it the other candidates have to join natives what if they want you to join it to. go to serbia will never enter nato as this is the will of the majority of the serbian period and the e.u. will never impose this condition because serbia doesn't have any reason to enter i don't see any sense in its existence but if nato becomes an organization which together with the collective security treaty organization would fight against organized crime of the world then we would have participated in serbia is a small country surrounded by nato members there's no one serbia would start

a war with us we don't need nato to defend it we are militarily neutral and it will stay like that forever so. as all this it takes that's one in russia as well as in serbia you hear very often that the hague tribunal is uncertain so do you plan to continue the cooperation with the chinese be you know initiated by the democrats. i've been the team leader who defended voice live show and i struggled against carla del ponte say for many years even personally in strasbourg. had a very difficult conversation in the presence of many parliamentarians of the european council who knows the hague tribunal will exist until the situation of the world changes and both of the people have been convicted that people are dying that often but the tribunals has the support of all countries and so far no one has launched the process to stop it anyway it will be closed soon because there are only a few presidents left and it will close in a fairly negative way for the global justice system open as the former president of

serbia died in the case of course of the presidents of over a shoe and both of you have not been convicted obviously discrimination of the serbian began long ago and today nothing has changed in segregation continues or was and obviously it's not fair but the serbian government adopted the wrong co-operation with the hague tribunal a little we have to respect that in order and stand boys like we've enjoyed many injustices in this world with that. thank you thank you. religion and education here are our inseparable. enlightenment isn't possible without. inner peace without hard work. and joy for the oppressor.
