find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger or a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to kaiser report on our. un investigators say syrian artillery artillery is responsible for less than twenty of the one hundred eight deaths in a houla of the rest children show signs of brutal execution. we suspect that. there is a nation state behind the development of these cyber attack russian security experts who discovered one of the most malicious computer viruses ever found targeting the middle east say it's most likely sponsored by a foreign government. as occupy protesters in the u.s. are labeled terrorists julian assange grills the group's activists about their true

goals in the latest edition of his explosive program here on our. a very warm welcome to you from all of us here at r.t. in moscow. u.n. investigators say less than twenty of the one hundred eight people killed in the houla massacre in syria died from artillery fire the rest including dozens of children were executed the syrian government says evidence points to opposition islamists while the rebels blame the government the western media has been flooded in recent days with alleged eyewitness reports suggesting assad's troops what's a blame but there are also some very different accounts that are. actually killed as it raged. towns and burned ospital in. these. and

killed our pharmacist at his truck store because he treated and wounded soldier our children can go to school so we can go out into the phone field someone no one but the army computer access i haven. t. of gangs came yesterday and they said either you help us kill soldiers or policemen or we will kill you then they started killing our wives and children along with the soldiers manning the road blocks disaster that the terrorists killed learned emeritus in the fields they started the gurney no hope so we escaped or what they were there to and attempt to forget and i don't want to hold. our lesson our talk to a crook a former british intelligence officer who are now studies islamist militants thank you very much for coming on r.t. today it's a pleasure to have you on so as we heard in the report so the u.n. says most of the houla victims were shot at close range or early reports also suggested many worse but who was behind the killings to think. but what i

think what is quite important to say is first of all we don't know for sure the investigation is going on but one thing that stands out quite clearly and which is very important is the methodology this type of killing of beheadings of slitting the throat slitting of throats of children two and of the relation of bodies has been a characteristic not of religion timeless land not of syria not of lebanon but really of what happened in the anbar province of iraq and so it seems to point very much in the direction of groups that have been associated with the war in iraq against the united states who is perhaps returned to syria perhaps iraq is to come up for a man to take part of it i do say we we don't know at this stage but this whole process of mutilation is so very much against the tradition of the levantine that i

think it's very hard to see this will have come either from soldiers or even from others sort of might have been bent on and on revenge i think quite clearly we've got a lot of people there that means that there are one hundred eight people who were killed either directly by direct. all or had their throats cut off all who are beheaded i don't think this speaks of soldiers going on the rampage we've seen it in vietnam we've seen that in iraq and indeed in afghanistan and usually soldiers don't swap their weapons they don't move over and turn to using shotguns a use their own weapons and these were said directly by the un many of them were to being killed by shotguns but if i may look i don't know very sorry to interrupt you but i'm sorry to interrupt you but if i may for a moment we understand there are certain fractured groups when it comes to the opposition those against the assad regime is a possible. that is that a fraction group and we know at least one of them has been calling for u.n.

intervention could they be behind such a thing because such a caliber all level of this atrocity would perhaps get the attention of the un security council and further then to get involved but i think this is certainly very much a possibility that what we're looking at here is a deliberate and cold blooded as i say rather than a. revenge attack a cold blooded attempt to cause syria into civil war to a nigger a civil war to bring western intervention if possible it simply again to bring down the regime and it is clearly i think perpetrated in the interests of those external parties and groups at the end of the spectrum of the opposition which are jihadi groups who want no part of a peace process but to want to bring down the system and for syria to turn into civil war and it's from that i think we are seeing what's happening in the in these

event but when you when you talk about jihadi groups getting involved and watching a civil war and watching the end of the assad regime we're talking al qaeda. well actually i think it's more close to. our car we. are as we know it in the sense we're in iraq gave birth to this idea of a stray or very strong a bigoted and he she and here raney and rhetoric and the men much of that came back into syria when some of those fighters from ambar return to their homes around and hama so yes we're talking about al qaeda like groups that have the very end of the spectrum of the opposition they may be a minority in terms of the numbers of the overall offices but they are now defining the war the car bombs in damascus and aleppo the outrages that took place in houla

and also in other areas the direct assassination of people that are established across what are only what about what about external support to this conflict as we understand it a quite a quite a fair amount of weapons coming in to support the rebels from lebanon on how crucial is that support do you think. well i think it is crucial if you recall the passageway is coming through tripoli which has a historic link with homs which is the seat of a radical salafist group that was also involved in the war in iraq and we saw just the other week when a large shipment of very sophisticated weapons by yes almost a month forty million dollars worth of armaments were being shipped into tripoli for the syrian opposition and they included weapons which were not really defensive it was very carefully put together cargo which suggested a long term military offensive against the government rather than anything that was

of a short term nature something very serious very sophisticated sometimes very latest equipment in terms of communications were included in that cargo. former british intelligence officer wishing we had more time for this conversation we don't but thank you for coming on our team today thank you very much thank you. well i mean time marty's murray financial has carried out her own investigation into how arms are making their way from lebanon to syria she posted her findings on her twitter feed and you can see where she talked to a number of arms dealers and smugglers one of whom was particularly proud of his latest acquisition torn from the volley of a syrian officer that he killed a check out maria's feed for the chilling reality of trafficking. well with all witnesses claims are from syria that the bloodshed is very difficult to verify each side in the conflict and their allies are taking sides in their accounts of what's

actually happening and as artie's further reports and in pursuing a certain agenda authenticity sometimes takes a back seat. when the b.b.c. ran this space a from iraq mistakenly 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 clubs it always supports majors 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 nation from the very beginning the syrian crisis is seen to be distorted at every turn and by paid

sites throughout the last months the world seen fake video of a poor simple statement that 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. the government to take bold 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 and leave this earth to massively undermine ceasefire attempts and now the war drums again seem 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. remember cry in the western press some from western governments over similar occasions in kosovo remember the way in which 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 ended up with thirty five . mated the more than ten thousand allies being lost in the conflict the death toll continuing to rise even was the un observers have been in the country but inside syria and amidst the devastation there is still hope for syria that doesn't involve repression intervention we are completely against arming the

uprising as well as we are against. we declared very clear very loud the mistake made by the b.b.c. the real problem is 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 the further away and not closer to the tree that's the truth the people in syria have been paying for with their lives . and. it is good to have you with us here on our to today coming up for you later this hour out of being ready for doomsday i think you steps of preparation for a greek exit from the eurozone and later this hour we talk to a political economic. so he knows how to keep a sinking ship afloat. with. new lows of the

freedmen resigns as head of b.p.'s joy joint venture with. the billionaire paul governments in the british side we'll have more in business at around twenty four hours from. now the worst cyber attack in history the verdict of russia's internet security specialists on the latest a virus assault throughout the middle east the malicious software known as flame has an ability to snatch your data like nothing ever seen before let's get the latest now from art he's standing by live for us tom good to see you is it becoming clear who is behind this massive historic cyber attack. experts at russian internet security firm. are sure that this is a very complex internet virus the most complex ever they say they've dubbed it flame the highest number of infected computers around but israel syria and other countries across the middle east have also been attacked flame can make use of the

computers webcams its keyboard its microphones and other things in order to grab data package it up and send it back to its controllers and it's this complexity and the targets that have been hit that have convinced because this is a stick backed cyber attack and a very well organized operation. we suspect that. there is a nation state behind the development of these cyber attack and there are reasons for that these placation doesn't feed into a near existing groups that develop cyber attack tools and we try not to speak who might be interested in such attacks we tried to be on pure facts we extract from the gold like maybe language characteristics in in this case we found only traces of. all of. the round.

of the attack you say it's too soon to tell who's behind it but they have added that this is a new development in the growing area of cyber warfare and that compared to what's gone before flame could be classified as a cyber superweapon in two thousand and ten the stuxnet virus targeted iran's nuclear program but flame has twenty times more code at them stucks net and it could take years to discover all of its secrets all right out there thank you. now the sense of danger throughout europe has pushed the u.k. into drawing up contingency plans should the eurozone collapse prime minister david cameron met top policymakers to ensure britain is prepared for the worst and britain obviously is not a member of the monetary union it will be hit just as hard now for more i'm joined by marcus curve a professor of political economy he was a jew to present his plan b. for the eurozone at a conference of the european parliament later good to see you today what is what is

your remedy for the struggling monetary you. well we have to get out of this terrible dead and between. the euro rescue is unconditional your rescue is on the other hand the people mainly in germany and other countries who come back here are my proposal is a historical compromise i say to all the current account surplus countries led by germany the netherlands and including. austrian finland well let's maintain let's retain the euro as a legal one legal tender but let's do way with the you as the single currency we have to need a parallel currency in the current account surplus countries to give them a sense of stability not to move out of the eurozone but to give the corporations and the citizens of these countries a choice whether to have contracts or future contracts and. whether to have them in the new currency which i have baptized according to an old dutch

german tradition the good market a mixture of the guild and the doj like we are in a didn't on this we talk about a plan b. a plan b. is the response to finding a way not only to solve the monetary problems of europe but getting a way of overcoming the peril of this of the european institutional crisis that one point i do find truly fascinating. is that you actually launched a legal challenge against the e.u. bailouts why do you think they are legal or illegal and why is the e.u. so it dictated the balance in the first place. well because the. current elites of the e.u. institutions are in a prisoner's dilemma they have quite wrongly made progress is that what will happen after the greek crisis and remind you of the fact that mr hu in the meantime won

the prize money said that greece will be in the on the markets again within two or three years so there is a total gigantic of all unconditional you are rescuers i was writing my prognosis unfortunately i was right and said that there is a structural crisis of the use an area of the use of the area as a currency i will not be able to survive so who has made all these wrong this will not admit defeat so the problem today is that the people who made these gigantic i was of judgment are still in power they have power in brussels then power in france they have power in germany and they are not willing to say let's take a look at plan b. because that would be implicitly the admittance of the defeat so as you say as you say that the structural deformities and problems are seeping down from the top those who are in power let's talk about what some call the achilles heel of the

eurozone greece or the greek runoff vote on june the seventeenth increasingly looking like a referendum on eurozone membership do you think the greeks really want to return to the drachma. i don't think so because then they would lose from one day to the other of the refinancing but they use this because look at the situation which is absurd or totally absurd the european central bank. the national grid which funds by of the so-called emergency liquidity assistance the greek banks which enabled the greek citizens to pull out money from greece and to put it into safe haven countries so this is no longer a sustainable situation for the rest of you it's a very sustainable situation for greece but greece again wants to have having financial support and unlimited financial support from the us system refusing at the same time to implement the stairway to measures this is a situation which cannot go on so anyway the greek problem is the only very very

small part of your overall problem because look at spain where we have all of the withdrawal of a gigantic other law which will come into being once some spanish banks will or will melt down and then the fire walls will not be high enough in order to prevent the fire from spreading all over europe so every responsible politician and i appeal to the political elite in europe has to elaborate a plan b. . i think what people often agreeing with is the melt down effect the avalanche effect that could be in the future of the eurozone marcus i'm so sorry we don't have any more time professor of political economics at pearland institute of technology thank you so much for coming on. thank you so much. but it's not just the economy threatening the e.u. but basically the ability to read next hour we're going on how illiteracy is at the

core of the inequality existing process. now from a disorganized slackers to terrorists the occupy movement seen as. media image go from bad to worse over its nine months of existence protesters now even face accusations that they pose a threat not just to corporate america but to the country as a whole but activists just say it's just mongering to stifle the movement with this report autism arena portnoy. 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 the 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 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 monteith spent six years working for the agency he says as long as he got the u.s. remains a threat to washington and wall street cases like the cleveland five will become happen more commonly it can't. happen but that's the goal now maybe three months later the be another one maybe six months later there be another one where now the occupy movement is really take it and no want to be around them so much because there may be some type of a terrorist plan or plot. before the cleveland five came the new book for a terrifying plot the f.b.i. claims to have warded 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 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 well the occupy movements real mission is explored by julian assange as he challenges the movement's leaders in the latest edition of his and if you program you can watch the full program throughout tuesday here on our here's a taste of what to expect. i think there's been sort of a global movement and i guess it started in tunisia and sort of swept across the mediterranean greece spain was really the same movement that hit america there a lot of people from greece and spain who were involved in the very early days and even before the occupation of parking or putting it together so that i think there's really a global ferment we can see way of fighting that wouldn't happen ten years ago we had these protest movements for whirling up its seattle and you know and so on september that was the end of it so we can see why it would have happened ten years ago but why didn't it happen five years ago i think primarily social movements around there always borne out of grievance and

a sense of being agree and i think these are simply what's happening is simply impossible without a global financial crisis. then it generally could have been the end of capitalism as we know it we would have had massive problems with the streets in food upon with complex societies is that when something goes wrong it goes very wrong. are the time now for your news with daniel and. daniel we've got a great criminals having a field day one that all about this year has been a nightmare for most people but not for robbers with a bank run in greece record numbers of storing their cash at home which means easy pickings for thieves it's so easy for them there's reports of them entering pensioners houses during the day and stealing hundreds of thousands of you are loyal savings which people are taking out of the bank and stashing in cupboards on fears greece will quit the single currency sending banks down those world greek lenders all the only ones losing credibility scared french savers have taken thirty

billion euros each out of two top banks alone credit agricole b.m.p. parable those planes have lent heavily to athens and people increasingly feel they'll go on the with greece also belgians last year took a over one hundred twenty billion from just two banks and k b c u data shows italian savers are also panicking. from the euro could spokes over in the fall and across europe according to a new u.s. deport all that's leaving the markets jittery again markets go boy boy a good performance in asia this morning there's a look at the major share movers. this first quarter profit rose twenty percent luko plans to hold a secondary public offering in home called next year and t a k p p is also reacting to more management turbulence chief executive of rosso british t.k. b p because of friedman has resigned he blocked the deal between rosneft and b.p.

claiming it was violating the existing agreement of the company reports the move is now. lots of rules the strategy to boil to b.p. oil and gas analyst alexandra navarro says that does not make sense. i don't think that. current shareholders would like to sell its share for example look at b.p.'s self. responsible for more than twenty percent of its production reserves and revenues a generation a huge amount of cash every quarter but also one of shareholders will sell to b.p. share i don't know any comparable asset at the same price so they will get a huge cash pile probably from twenty to thirty five billion dollars for fifty percent stake in the company what would be the use of the cash. in a current market environment when you have such an asset with such characteristics

as such a growth profile. i would say that anybody will want to change this as it's for anything. now the ruble if we can have a look at the currencies finally is retreating against both the euro and the greenback masel the euro itself is retreating a bit to the goal of all more but news from europe and europe today the news and interviews over the web site ulti dot com slash business.
