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 aimed 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. the u.s. in the meantime is once again warning syria could face an armed intervention america's top military officer warned that the pentagon is prepared to act militarily if and when it is asked to make political activists hate them by he says the n.t.'s movement wants to make the regime appear as bad as possible whether it's guilty all of the killings are not. i don't think now there is a quite a lot of incitement they fabricated this massacres i'm not saying the massacres

didn't take place but yes it took place in the area where it's completely under the control of those coming governments what is so-called rebel or so-called the syrian free army we know there is other groups who has a lion's two jihadist to sell a feast to. either maybe but. there are there are quite. i mean there are supplied with. money they have borders open was lebanon they have borders open with turkey so they doing whatever they were coming in and going out there trying to. what you call it. is the pressure on syria before the visit of coffee or none so the situation in syria. we seen this type of situation before before the security council meeting when

russia and china used the veto we seen it in every meeting it takes place or so-called friends of syria or before with our oblique they push through those massacres just two to. four incitement and to turn people against the syrian government and to turn the public opinion or the international public opinion against the syrian government and all the outrage over the massacre in houla spread an eagerness to illustrate events in the most harrowing way has misleading results go to our website to find out about the b.b.c. story which images of friends of children's bodies are sent in by activists only they turned out to have been taken in iraq almost a decade ago and the photographer who took the pictures i think they've been used for propaganda get all the. details at our dot com. weapon trafficking to syria from lebanon has now become a reality with

a powerful p.c. virus that they claim has been used to for years to spy on middle eastern countries as such as israel and iran to ron has already said that the virus was responsible for recent incidents of mess data loss in the country r.t. tom barton has more expert russian internet security firm casper ski lab so if they discovered what they're calling the largest cyber attack ever calling the virus flame. they 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 casper 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 flame 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 or 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. still ahead for you this fall in ratings as a symptom of distrust look at what's going number of americans to abandon the mainstream news media in favor of independent of foreign outlets or even fictional programs. giving us songe of 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 and the latest of us on his very own interview programs they discuss the global appeal of the occupied demonstrations. occupy. sort of similar for a while for the first week or two or ten days or something until it was forward.

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 in total 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. cameras 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 case in which art is imitating life is becoming. a life now seeing more americans turning to the alternative marina portnoy r.t. new york i'll be back with a roundup of the top stories in about ten minutes time but before that interview with the newly elected president of. 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 action campaign on good relations with the european union. that is 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 their 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 is or goes to probably a lot of time will pass until the western press accept road 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 four moreover i showed that i want to be the president of all the citizens of serbia at. the launch you are free to support if you are traditional value to save your european stone but their voices at the store 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 for this process should stop only if they ask us to renounce part of our territory i'm referring to kosovo talking 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 most. they impose such conditions i told people immediately i think that's why i won't give my can article 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 really 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

a 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 page s. 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 the other day 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 vote and i know that the other half are didn't support my ideas that's why i believe that i should ask them all to do that is to get it on the board as a second 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 its 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 queerness 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 that 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 zuma member countries will serbia enter the e.u. i don't know first of all they have a crisis of expansion or here 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 the turning weaker by the day on the other hand it's a big question how long is germany going to help member of the union without a 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 end like you and the truth is

that the world is a lot bigger. just a bit because my victory is a victory of the ideology of both the e.u. and russia are not the wars usually. doesn't know that that's 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'd 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 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 complimentary industries the field that 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. because of the love of the us it seems like serbia is always having to make a name conditions to become e.u. members of the other candidates have to join natives what if they want you to join

a team with you 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 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 a for many years even personally in strasbourg. had

a very difficult conversation in the presence of many parliamentarians of the european council was the hague tribunal will exist until the situation of the world changes and with other people have been convicted that people are dying that nothing 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 president 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 house of president the presidents of the ratio in bosnia have not been convicted that is was discrimination of the serbian began long ago and today nothing has changed in segregation continues to the 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 lower and stand boys like we've enjoyed many injustices in this world that i. thank you thank you.

for sure is that so much of me is going to make a lot of people here you know nothing like a thinking the welfare state while attempting to save a struggling middle class are we reaching the point where society has ripped apart by socialist. sigrid laboratories to mccurry was able to build the world's most sophisticated robot which on fortunately doesn't do.
