trial by t.v. this syrian houla massacre a blame game escalates as the media opens its doors to sensationalism while kicking the truth to the. cyber warfare steps into a new era as russian security experts reveal that the most dangerous virus ever discovered has been devastating middle east computers for good. and the new face of u.s. homegrown terror f.b.i. is dented tactics give occupy critics they talk to target a tire movement's reputation and present them as domestic terrorists.

for russia and around the world this is our see with me you there charlotte thanks for joining us the most gruesome episode in syria's uprising is quickly turning into a p.r. battle as each side and their allies portion blame for that slaughter in houla just four days after the murders of over one hundred men women and children the media has been flooded with images fathering one or the other gender and as fast now reports authenticity has taken a back seat. when the b.b.c. ran this basically from iraq mistakingly claiming it was syria it led to some fierce criticisms somebody is using my images from iraq as propaganda against the syrian government to prove the massacre i'm really surprised that an organization like the b.b.c. cannot be bothered to check sources and is ready to publish any image sent by a citizen activist or journalist or whoever they are the b.b.c. is like a british bomb in club. it always supports nation's wars and even though there's no

conspiracy the reporter women wrote this i'm sure they were told you it's part of a general malaise in the b.b.c. that always calls for intervention and the use of major. developing nations from the very beginning the syrian crisis is seen to be distorted and blood at every turn and by side throughout the last month the world seen fake video reports and false statements that it hasn't quelled the sensation hungry media from jumping the gun on any shocking piece of news coming from the country ravaged by conflict and its cause that the peace plan is now failing visited damascus in a statement he said. the government to take steps to signal not just syria's in its intention to resolve this crisis peacefully and this message of peace is not only for the government but for everyone every individual

with a gun but while many media outlets loudly condemn the regime there has been little criticism of the open and blatant funding and arming of the syrian opposition a move that is served to massively undermine ceasefire attempts and now the war drums again seems to be beating john rees from the stop the war coalition called this the benghazi moment the moment where things are portrayed as being so bad that there's no other option but intervention some of us who've been around long enough who are a member cry in the western press some from western governments over similar occasions in kosovo will remember the way in which the saddam hussein regime was characterized because of its atrocities in iraq the same rhetoric john says could lead to even more lives lost we saw what happened in libya with this everybody understood the gadhafi regime. with a horrible dictatorship but when the western to be and we. already it's

estimated that more than ten thousand lives have been lost in the conflict the death toll continuing to rise even was the un observers have been in the country but inside syria and in that the devastation there is still hope for syria that doesn't involve oppression intervention we are completely against arming the uprising. we declared very clear very loud the mistake made by the b.b.c. it goes to show the real problems when covering the syrian conflict the events of recent weeks of also showing that the mudslinging finger pointing and accusations that have been such a mark of the syrian crisis the only serve to me further away and not closer to the tree that's the truth that the people in syria have been paying with their lives sara. lunde. and commenting on the b.b.c.'s blunter with the iraq

picture journalist and human rights investigator home and snow says there's simply no way it could have been posted by mistake. this particular photograph claiming to be a massacre of children in syria was years later a 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 if people believe that this is accidental or if it's citizen journalism they are really deceiving themselves if you are certainly you had on the war the manufacture of consent as we were given by the book by non johnson for the claim that we can't get journalists into syria i think is nonsense there are cia agents there room m i six if there are most not 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 that were citizen journalism you can see from the label activist and photo

from activists i mean that's nonsense to the b.b.c. just doesn't do that they don't pull down photos from an activist and post and without everything they do is fact checked this is propaganda no mistake no action . not jumping to conclusions over they had a tragedy it must be a priority he says russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov backing up his warning he pointed to the balkans war in the ninety's when they said launched his intervention citing a civilian genocide an excuse that later leaks contradicted and seven political analysts said it says the comparison is apt. atrocity management has done wonders first for the bosnian muslims during the bosnian war ninety two to ninety five and then for the costs of albanians in the run up to the nato bombing of one thousand nine the political utility value of atrocity management is immediate and we have to ask in this particular case who has to gain from this situation certainly not the syrians slaughtering innocent civilians under the noses of

international observers this thing stinks to heaven and i would bet my last gold needle that we are indeed looking at a case of premeditated cold blooded murder of civilians by the sea by the syrian rebels in order to provoke international intervention. we're covering syria and for you and our correspondent maria for notion i carried out her own investigation to announce the trafficking network that supplies syrian rebels and she is keeping us up to date on that through her twitter feed just talked to a number of arms dealers and smugglers one of whom was particularly proud of his latest exposition torn from the body of a syrian officer had killed marie its feed for the chilling reality of arms trafficking. this is coming up on the program this hour academic epidemic lost amid economic distress calls the problem of growing illiteracy blakes the western to find social revs. play

into in jail taking holistic approach to rehabilitating the inmates which has decreased the number of re offenders. that's later but now there was cyber attack in history that's how russian computer security giant kaspersky lab has described as virus sweeping the middle east dubbed flame the infection is spreading through systems stealing unprecedented amounts of sensitive data and his tongue was more details. 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 but still the virus has been operating since august two thousand and ten both spur ski and other internet security firms say it may have been stealing data from computers for years before about iran has already accused the u.s. and israel of being behind the attacks say that the virus may have been behind

massive data losses that they've had in their computer systems recently because you say it's too early to say who's behind the attack but they do add that this is a new stage in the level of cyber warfare across the globe and that these viruses could become super. put in the role 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 stocks net 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 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 or what's making because spurs think this is

a government backed cyber attack and more on the story as well as reports and three of its major cyber attacks can also be found on our web site let's see what i also wait here at r.t. dot com right now the u.s. ambassador to russia says he still hasn't mastered the craft of speaking diplomatically to find out what led to these surprising confession from the higher ranking diplomat and discover how involved. under a russian aircraft carrier could host and major ice hockey game as p.r. stands for the country's popular support reaches a new high. since it started nine months ago the occupy movement has frequently been shelled with criticism ox and misunderstood but now as now reports of slander and scaremongering

are also being used to bring the anti called for a drive to. what began last september returned with a vengeance on the first of may tens of thousands of americans across the country expressing collective outrage over wealth inequality political corruption and corporate by the federal agents have busted up an anarchist plot in cleveland five people are under arrest the occupy movement made headlines for a very different reason this group here of so-called anarchists are in custody accused of wanting to blow up a bridge in ohio the self-proclaimed anarchists wanted to stop money flow into the one percent and said the federal government a message they have even ties to occupy cleveland as well the f.b.i. says the five ohio suspects were intent on using violence to express their ideological views that allowed some occupy critics to incriminate the entire

movement is occupy wall street based on the allegations that we have or that bridge should it be considered a domestic terrorist organization the f.b.i. not only for you know the alleged terrorist plot it also used a government paid informant to help orchestrate it that man identified as shaquille as ease collaborated with the suspects loaned cash made introductions and then an undercover f.b.i. agent sold these folks according to the prosecution the c. four explosives orchestrated ok it's just i was involved in this for a long time i was trained to entrap another game very well f.b.i. informant turned whistleblower craig spent six years working for the agency he says as long as the u.s. remains a threat to washington and wall street cases like the cleveland five will become more common. but that is gold. now

maybe three months later to be another one maybe six months later there be another one where now the occupy movement is really take it and no one to be around them so much because there may be some type of terrorist plan or plot. before the cleveland five came the new birth for a terrifying plot the f.b.i. claims to have boarded f.b.i. operatives provided the fake c four and actually showed them a fake stinger missile the four muslim suspects were arrested and charged with attempting to carry out terrorist attacks no direction by a foreign entity or real terrorist group instead direction came from an f.b.i. informant who monitored induced and facilitated the fabricated plot reportedly paid one hundred thousand dollars for his services in america's post nine eleven decade scores of u.s. muslim citizens have been arrested and convicted through sting operations involving f.b.i. informants. today as the ninety nine percent becomes

a bigger challenge for washington some say angry activists could replace scary muslims as the so-called new face of homegrown terror i think that occupy wall street is dealing with big enough issues and there are enough people who are committed enough to the movement that it probably will have political prisoners maybe sooner than later occupy cleveland issued a statement saying that while the five men arrested were associated with the movement they were in no way representing or acting on behalf of the group and f.b.i. spokesperson also said the incident was not an occupy movement wants facts which so far have not stopped many from branding occupy with an unfavorable state very important i.r.t. new york. june and a song in the latest edition of his own exclusive interview show he has been talking to some leaders of the occupy movement tonight at eleven to hear them discuss whether it's a lie. the u.k.

prime minister david cameron has held a meeting with top financial officials and ministers to discuss contingency plans for the eurozone crisis britain not a member of the single currency is increasingly feeling its domino effect as fears of the greek exit trigger a sharp rise in boring costs and hollande green editor of popular economics thought colmes austerity measures can only work if the government starts spending we shouldn't be thinking of an austerity measure where everything gets tight that once when when but when there's a recession and people can't create demand get spending money then we government has to spend that well there are various economists who study this problem and what they said was if you increase the experience use by that expenditure by the same amount you increase taxes you increase national income and that doesn't increase the debt if the greeks are going to have to reserve taxes that the spanish and the and italians if they will spend an equal one mile as they raise their taxes there's

no increase in debt and it spurs growth. is not among the first things that spring to mind one talking of europe's problems however while widely overshadowed by the financial crisis illiteracy remains a prominent issue even in the most advanced parts of the. ceiling now reports it's multiculturalism that suffering the most there are two issues prevalent in much of europe today they've been at the forefront of election campaigns and e.u. debates one how to get more people working and to how to address the growing social divisions resulting from unemployment and ineffective integration policies but there's something integrity these efforts and some say it's still largely a taboo topic illiteracy. what we want to do is you know raise more awareness that this actually is a problem and. it's actually nothing to be ashamed of a european union study has found that more than seventy five million adults lack

basic reading and writing skills along with one million or one in five fifteen year olds in the e.u. plus in belgium about one in ten adults have low literacy levels are reality even more striking in highly populated urban areas and for foreigners there's the added challenge of reading and writing in a new language and here literacy is directly linked with social integration but. because there is a shortage of jobs employers tend to seek higher levels of education even for positions where it's not necessary to have a diploma it penalizes people with no degrees or who have low literacy illiteracy is a social phenomenon it affects people who are socially economically and culturally the weakest moments on the plight of home is not helped by the rise of anti immigration rhetoric in europe without mysti international highlighting the discrimination faced by muslims in education and employment. ironically in

a country where its leader was widely quoted as saying multiculturalism has failed and new immigration and integration surveys show that only a third of foreigners surveyed had trouble finding a job in berlin in stark contrast with seventy nine percent in lisbon in portugal and milan in italy they cited language classes as having helped while critics say the results may only be a consequence of better economic conditions in germany and nothing more regardless those monitoring illiteracy in europe reiterate the risk of social exclusion it would be wonderful if. we wait for that to happen the turn shows that we have. in the group is to make such a fuss about this matter that the politicians and policy makers will have to sit up and notice they say before it's too late does or cilia r.t.

brussels. unlacing today's program we've got the kinds of reports where moxon stace examined how flawed worth tens of billions of dollars goes over the law enforcement trader and here's a preview of the show that's coming up next hour. yes you see staff ends probe of lehman without finding fraud this is according to bloomberg u.s. securities and exchange commission investigators have concluded their probe of possible financial fraud at lehman brothers holdings without recommending an foresman action against the firm or its former executives according to an excerpt of an internal agency memo this is fantastic i mean this is the great thing about having regulators like the f.c.c. who are over charged with keeping track of your accounting fraud i mean as imagine a serial killer i suppose you know who had keeping track of his crimes best goalie you know hollywood producer who every time you murdered somebody in the street they

would just say oh that's great for that it's not it's not a murder it's a reality t.v. show so here with the fall you're saying you're not committing fraud it's a great story. i don't but it's not fraud. south asia's largest jail is aiming to turn dangerous criminals into better citizens by taking a unique approach he's in crazy for help it and putting an emphasis on work skills they say this came out showing real results as a reporter. it's a bustling factory in india many everything from steel pipes to fabrics. it's set on a beautiful campus with manicured lawns and fountains a far cry from the hectic bustle of new delhi. but the workers in the seeming utopia actually have no choice about being here in fact they have no freedom at all

is attempting to papar its own banking sector with the money they're having to borrow from the international debt markets now last it's got to do with moscow is the fact that risk appetite is really suffering as a result and therefore we've seen the russian markets fall to two year lows but so far so good in today's trading session so fast let's see how the rubles getting on and see if that is the only better than yesterday and indeed it is it's gaining against the u.s. dollar and the year at this hour with you see as well we got the euro on this preview just. and it's actually one twenty five thirty four and it's just one has to be all out to all the negative region for the traders favor pat i'm staying with james right this is a different china and japan on the leg of a start direct trading of the yuan and the japanese yen as of next month. will not be using the us dollar as the middleman so to speak in the hope the move will boost
