4:02 am
a british bombing club it's always supported ages wars and even though there's no conspiracy the reporting of 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 both sides throughout the last months the world seen fake video reports and false statements that this hasn't quelled the sensation hungry media from jumping the gun on any shocking piece of news coming from the country ravaged by conflict amid schools that the peace plan is now failing in and visited damascus in a statement he said. the government to take steps to signal that it is serious 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 seem to be beating john rays 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. remember crying the western press some from western governments similar occasions in kosovo remember the way in which saddam hussein regime was characterized because of its frosties 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. horrible dictatorship but when

the west and we ended up with thirty five. already is estimated that more than ten thousand lies are being lost in the conflict the death toll continuing to rise even the un observers have been in the country but inside syria and limits the devastation there is still hope for syria doesn't move over oppression intervention we are completely against arming the uprising. we are against. we declared very clear very loud the mistake made by the b.b.c. 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 have only served to further away and not closer to the train that's the truth the people in syria have been paying with their lives.
4:05 am
and commenting on the b.b.c.'s blunder with the iraq picture journalist and human rights investigator kate home and those simply no way it would have been posted by mistake. this particular photograph claiming to be a massacre of children in syria was years but a major element of the gander 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 these images are certainly used to kind of the war the manufacture of consent as we were given by the book by non chomsky for example of the claim that we can't get journalists into syria i think is nonsense there are cia agents through m i six agent there are most not agents all over the place in syria at this very moment as they were in libya manufacturing images about libya claiming to be you tube videos they were citizen journalism you can see from the
4:06 am
label activist or 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 them without everything they do is fact checked this is propaganda no mistake no actually. jumping to conclusions over the who the tragedy must be a priority says russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov backing up his warning he pointed to the balkans war in the ninety's when nation launched its intervention citing a civilian genocide an excuse that they said weeks contradicted and seven political analyst said of 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 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 deceived by the syrian rebels in order to provoke international intervention. and we're covering syria in depth and our correspondent mary of carried out her own investigation into an arms trafficking network that supplies syrian rebels just keeping us up to date on that through her twitter feed and she talks to a number of arms dealers and smugglers and one of whom was particularly proud of his latest acquisition torn from the body of that syrian office a had held and check out maria's feed for that chilling reality of arms trafficking and coming up in the program bass sound academic epidemic lost amid economic distress calls the problem of growing illiteracy plagues the west and by social rifts within. the indian trail taking

4:09 am
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 weapons in the flame virus is likely to go down in history. as the third great cyber attack of its kind in two thousand and ten destructs net virus attacked iran's nuclear program while the dooku virus was busy stealing data from computer systems around the world flame though it's much bigger its code is twenty times the size of stuxnet it can make use of the computers 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 kulap think this is a government backed cyber attack and

4:11 am
a slander and scaremongering are also being used to bring the anti corporate drive to hold. 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 green by the evening 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 if a self-proclaimed anarchists wanted to stop money flowing to 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
4:12 am
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 e s 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 sense. but that's the goal. now maybe three months later to be another one maybe six months later there be another
4:13 am
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 book for a terrifying plot the f.b.i. claims to have thwarted 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 to 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
4:14 am
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 staying in important i.r.t. new york. one june and a song in the latest edition of his own exclusive interview show his own office he has been talking to some leaders of the occupy movement tune in at eleven cessna chanting to hear them discuss what the ambitions lie. moving on now 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 a greek exit trigger a sharp rise in boring costs and hollande green editor of popular economics dot com says that 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 went one bit when there's a recession and people can't create demand you have to spend the money then the 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 research taxes of the spanish a million italians and if they would spend an equal one mile as they raise their taxes there's no increase in debt and it spurs growth. it's not real it's not among

the first thing that spring to mind when talking about europe's problems however while widely overshadowed by the financial crisis illiteracy remains a prominent issue even in the most advanced. in our reports it's multiculturalism that suffering the much 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 integra to these efforts as some say is 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
4:17 am
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. 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 the plight of whom is not helped by the rise of anti immigration rhetoric in europe with amnesty 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
4:18 am
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 the literacy in europe reiterate the risk of social exclusion it would be wonderful if societies were less of an equal. but while we're waiting for that to happen one of the contention is that we have in the group is to make such a fuss about this matter that the politicians and policy policy makers will have to sit up and take notice they say before it's too late yes or cilia r.t. brussels let's have a look at some other news stories from around the world in canada legal
