u.n. investigators say syrian artillery is responsible for less than twenty of the one hundred eighty deaths in houla the rest including children show signs of brutal execution. we suspect that. there is a nation state behind the development of these cyber attacks 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. that's 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 program here on r.t.

. on air and online this is r.t. life or of moscow with me will receive shine un investigators say that less than twenty of the one hundred eight people killed in the who live massacre in syria died from tillery 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 to eyewitness reports suggesting assad's troops were to blame but there are also some very different accounts. but. they attacked and killed all the soldiers that raged blocks and then the bandits don't die towns and burned hospital in. that even killed our pharmacist at his truck stall because he treated and wounded soldier our

children can go to school so we can go out into the phone field so why no one but the army can protect. their eggs again 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 roadblocks that sat down with terri schiavo none emeritus in the field and so this is the burning our home so we escaped to al gore but they were there to an attack to forget and i don't want that but hold on let the star meantime i was to croak a former british intelligence officer who now studies islamist militants he says that the specifics of the slaughter sheds light on who might be to blame. methodology this type of killing beheading of slitting of throat slitting of throats of children two and of the relation of bodies has been

a characteristic not. not of syria a lot 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 perhaps returned to syria or perhaps iraqis who come up. to take part of it yes we're talking about al qaeda like groups. the very end of the spectrum of the opposition they may be a minority in terms of the numbers of the overall of position but they are now defining the war. all of this as syrian rebels are also getting support from lebanon on artie's maria for national has carried out her own investigation there she posted the findings on her twitter feed and she talked to a number of arms dealers and smugglers one of whom was particularly proud of his latest acquisition torn from the body of

a syrian officer that he killed you can check out maria's feet for the chilling reality of arms trafficking. and investigation into the who atrocity is still not yet complete but a number of european nations the us canada and australia spelling senior syrian diplomats anyway officials from france and britain say the move is to put more pressure on the government in washington is also prepared to provide direct support to the rebels if the u.n. peace plan fails with witness reports coming from syria difficult to verify each party in the conflict and their allies are taking sides in their accounts of what's really happening and as artists are further reports in pursuing a certain agenda authenticity sometimes takes a backseat. when the b.b.c. ran this space a from 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 bombing club it always supports wages 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 a job of developing nation from the very beginning the syrian crisis has seemed to be distorted and blood at every turn and by paid sites throughout the last months the world seen fake video of a paul simple statement 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. 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 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 service. long ago remember the cry in the western press some from western governments over similar occasions in kosovo will 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 west in to be and we ended up with thirty five . already is estimated that more than ten thousand allies 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 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 that very clear very loud the mistake made by the b.b.c. 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 the further away and not closer to the tree it's the truth that the people in syria have been paying with their lives there are a lot. and art is coming to life from the heart of moscow it's not the first thing that comes to the mind in a list of europe's problems are later this hour here on r t we report on how illiteracy is at the core of the inequality existing across the e.u. . plus. russia relations hit new lows of the freedmen resigns as head of the joint joint venture with russia's. billionaire poor governance of british soil we'll have more in business at around twenty. 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 data like nothing ever seen before with this story are to use tom bot. experts that russian internet security firm. are sure that this is a very complex internet virus the most complex ever they say the highest number of infected computers in iran 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 packet 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 state backed cyber attack and a very well organized operation and we suspect there 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 there develop cyber attack tools and we try not to. be interested in such attacks we try to be pure facts we extract from the cold like maybe language. in this case we found only traces of good in. all of that up the kitchen around has already accused us of the attack because first 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. he's tom barton reporting right there we'll have more on that story as well as reports on some pasta major cyber types can be found on our web site at all to dot com you'll also find many other stories including the u.s. ambassador to russia says he still hasn't lost him i did quote the craft of speaking diplomatically find out what led to the surprising confession from the

high ranking diplomat and discover how he is involved. in the russian aircraft carrier could host a major ice hockey game as p.r. stunts for the country's most popular sport reach new heights. it is good to have you with us on our t.v. today from a disorganized slackers to terrorists the occupy movement has seen its 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 whole country entirely but activists say it's all just scare mongering to stifle the movement as artie's marina portnoy reports. 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 i mean 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 and our case 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 instead of federal government a message they have even ties to occupy cleveland as well the f.b.i. says the five oh hi. iow 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 be considered a domestic terrorist organization the f.b.i.

not only for oil 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 lone cash made introductions and then an undercover f.b.i. agent sold these folks according to the the prosecution the c. four explosives orchestrated ok it's also involved in this for a long time i was trained to entrap another game very well f.b.i. informant turned whistleblower 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 it taints the occupy movement but that's the goal. 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 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 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. well the occupy movements real mission is explored by julian a son and he challenges the movements and leaders in the latest edition of his interview program you can watch the program in full in the next hour here on our here's a taste of what to expect. i think there's been so. global movement and i guess it started in tunisia and sort of swept across the mediterranean greece spain really the same movement that hit america there out of people from greece and spain

who were involved in very early days even before the occupation of parking or putting it together so that i think there's really a global ferment we can see a way of writing that wouldn't happen ten years ago we had these protest movements for going up at sea to seattle in june or 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 the global financial crisis many genuinely 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. we will get to the r.t. world update shortly though for now europe's financial woes have occupied the hearts and minds of the youth leaders for some time now but the crisis has

overshadowed another problem that of illiteracy and as artie's tester arsole reports he remains a prominent issue even the most advanced parts of europe. there are two issues prevalent in much of europe today they've been at the forefront of election campaigns and 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 to these efforts that some say is still largely a taboo topic illiteracy. a european union study has found that more than seventy five million adults lack basic reading and writing skills in belgium about one in ten adults have low literacy levels a 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 time to seek higher levels of education even for

positions where it's not necessary to have a diploma penalizes people with no degrees or who have. the plight of home is not helped by the rise of anti immigration rhetoric in europe without misty 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 had trouble finding a job in berlin in stark contrast with seventy nine percent in lisbon in portugal and milan in italy 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 one of the term trends that we have in the group is to make such a fuss about this matter. the politicians and policy makers will have to sit up and tell you notice they say before it's too late does or sylvia r.t. brussels. in the moment is daniel with the business for now though the date starts with italy for a strong aftershock measuring five point one has struck at the northern part of the country just hours after a five point eight magnitude earthquake hit the region killing at least fifteen rescuers say there were more victims trapped under the rubble the main quake hit at nine am local time in the same region the source stronger one earlier this month that time seven people were killed. in egypt hundreds of protesters have set fire to the campaign headquarters of former prime minister ahmed shafik he's set to face the muslim brotherhood's candidate in the second round of the presidential election

next month thousands more for the kairos to rear squares of demonstrate against the first round results they called for shafique who is closely linked to the former regime to be banned from running. now south asia's largest jail is turning dangerous criminals into better people by putting them to work in some rather nice surroundings as a teaser preassure explains society is the one to benefit. it's a bathroom factory in india men make 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 because there are inmates in south asia's largest jails the har. i'm

convicts here at the hard jail save their learning skills on the sprawling four hundred acre campus that they hope they can apply in the outside world authorities say the reform programs are working and only seventeen percent of the prison population are repeat offenders they hope that number will continue to go down it's an impressive statistic recent studies show that the real offending rate for prisoners in the united states is as high as sixty percent and around fifty percent in the u.k. one thing can be certain he said that if you do not do these great the reforms then the criminality repeat offenders is bound to go up. while the inmates say there is nothing that compares to freedom most are trying to make the best of their time in the har. good at least we have something to pass the time but the only thing that i miss the most is being with my family the nirmal like his fellow inmates wishes only for a better life ahead when and if they are ever released preassure either r t new

delhi india. or it's coming to you live from moscow it's time to head over the done you know all of us standing by the auto business desk good to see you donna let's talk some numbers on the stand the facebook hangover continues yes it's a. twenty billion dollars by listing on the stock markets this month but shares of collapsing over three and a whole percent in the first of trade over in new york there's growing evidence the full cost of fulling sales was selectively disclosed deliberately hidden from millions of facebook funds to pull shares in the firm is more the was. straight a greek exit from the euro could be fools across europe. to a new us report we can go over to europe now markets look like finishing the day with slight gains over in europe both the foot sea and the dax are up slightly this hour has been a day of more bad news those spain's retail sales last month plunged the record ten

percent year on year that's the twenty second straight month of declines government spending cuts rising taxes and you're probably still for the straits of all put off shoppers. thieves are taking advantage of greece's buying growing record numbers of taking their euros out of the bank and storing it at home wolf is going to go under there are reports of rebels entering pensioners homes in full daylight and stealing their life savings and greek banks the only ones losing out front and french savers has taken thirty billion euro out of two top banks credit b.m.p. perrie ball which have lent heavily to athens on fears greece won't pay back phil jones last year took over one hundred twenty billion from dixie and k b c new figures show it tally and savers are also panicking six the most in three months on good economic news from china the altie has also gone over one hundred thirteen hundred points this hour let's check major movers russia's top electronics is up

off the trading first quarter losses will hold a secondary public offering in hong kong next year and to keep the peace also reacting to more money problems to keep the peace chief executive mccall friedman has resigned it comes off that he blocked a big deal between b.p. and rosen if claim you violate existing agreements. have been reports the move is part of rules in their strategy to boil t. and k b p but oil and gas analysts alexander knows or says that doesn't make sense . i don't think that actual 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 generated in the huge amount of. every quarter but also one of shareholders will sell to the share i don't know any comparable asset at the same price so they will get a huge cash probably from twenty to thirty five billion dollars for fifty percent

stake in the company what would be the use of these cash. in a current market environment when you have a such an asset with a such characteristic is such a growth profile. i would say that anybody will want to change these assets for anything. currencies finally viewers just changed into the plaque on the dollar but the ruble is lower against. the greenback in the last of trade here or most. news the price of gold meanwhile has seen its worst slump this century off the slugging for a fourth month in a row down smith this down the chart the bank explains. the last few months have been some minute demand for gold is paying pretty soft and explain the weakness so investors have been selling through us speculative positions and if you took a coin so i was for example in the u.s. it down about fifty percent from my home where they were a year ago so investors being cutting back and india as well of course has been

pretty lackluster through the first quarter this year and into i. pick up in my eyes so you know one of them might you consumers his gold they're not really picking up as much gold as he had done in the past and you're up to the most there is always on the web so it's always a pleasure don you'll see you next hour. in just a moment here the headlines and then in about fifteen minutes that'll be the sports to stay with us here on.
