u.n. investigators say syrian artillery is responsible for less than twenty of the one hundred eight deaths in the resting clued in children show signs of brutal execution. and we suspect that. there is a nation state behind the development of these cyber attack russian security experts who discovered one of the most a malicious computer viruses ever found targeting the middle east say it's most likely sponsored by a foreign government. does occupy protesters in the u.s. labeled terrorists julian assange grills the group's activists about their true goals are that in his latest program here on our say.

it is good to have you with us here on r t today rory sushi a life in moscow he went 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 out 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 were to blame but there are also some very different accounts that. they attacked and killed all do so which is it right then the bond towns and then the hospital in houla beaven killed our pharmacist did he still because he treated it we did soldier children can go to school we can go out. since the phone feel

somewhat no one but the army can protect us i hate mona as you know you have 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 roadblocks is that somehow down the terrorists kill known to morrow it is in the field it's the start of the burning our homes so we escape to al gore but they were there to an attack to forget and i don't want the hole and let the sun meantime i was to croak a former british intelligence officer who now studies is the most militant says the specifics of the houla slaughter slaughter sheds light on who might actually be to blame. methodology this type of killing or 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 opposition but they are now defining the war. and syrian rebels are also getting support from lebannon artie's marie for national has carried out her own investigation there and she opposed to the findings on her twitter feed she talked to a number of arms dealers and smugglers i want to and was particularly proud of his latest acquisition torn from the body of a syrian officer he had killed i do check out maria's feed for the chilling reality of trafficking. an investigation into the who to trust city is still not yet

complete but a number of european nations the us canada and australia are all expelling senior syrian diplomats anyway if from france and britain say the move is to put pressure on the government in washington is also preparing to provide direct support to the rebels if the un peace plan fails with witness reports coming from syria very difficult to verify each party in the conflict and their allies are taking sides in their accounts of what's really happening and as for three ports in pursuing a certain agenda authenticity sometimes takes a back. when the b.b.c. ran this they say 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 is like a british bomb in club it's always support stages 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 at every turn and by both sides 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 and 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 a move that is 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 who. around long enough for a member 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 into being 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 was the un observers have been in the country but inside syria and amidst the devastation there is still hope for syria it doesn't move over oppression intervention we are completely against arming the uprising as well as we are against the venture. we declared that very clear very loud the mistake made by the b.b.c. 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 have only served to me further away and not closer to

the tree it's the truth the people in syria have been paying with their lives sarah . lunde. is coming to you live from moscow it is not the first thing that comes to mind on a list of europe's problems later this hour 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 peace and joy joint venture with russia's t.i.n.k. the billionaire blames poor governance on the british side we'll have more in business at around twenty past. well that's right we'll see daniel shortly after the world update for 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 but the story's artie's

tomba. 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 it's keyboard it's 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 this cyber attack and there are reasons for that these placation doesn't feed into a near existing groups the developer tools and we try not to who might be

interested in search of x. we try to be pure facts we extract from the cold like a building which grew in this case we found only traces of. all of that at the kitchen around has already accused us of the attack because perske 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. more of that story as well as reports on some past major cyber attacks or to be found on our website or also a plenty of other stories that r.t. dot com as well including other us ambassador to russia who says he still hasn't mastered the craft of speaking diplomatically find out what led to that surprising confession from the high ranking diplomat and discover how our team is involved in the matter. and a russian aircraft carrier could host

a major ice hockey game or basic. stunts for the country's most popular sport reach new heights. just off the ten minutes past the hour here in the russian capital from disorganized sloc as terrorists the occupy movement has seen his 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 say it's all just scare mongering to stifle the movement as a tease 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

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 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 lone. cash made introductions and then an undercover f.b.i. agent sold these folks according to the prosecution c four explosives it's orchestrated ok it's all or 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 it taints the occupy movement but that's the goal. now maybe three months later to be another one maybe six months later to 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 toward 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 two 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 are a real mission as explored by julian assange and she challenges that movement's leaders in the latest edition of his interview program you can watch it unfold in about fifteen minutes here on to you but for now a preview. i think there's been sort of a glow. ball movement and i guess that started in tunisia where 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 the very early days and even before the occupation of zuccotti park we're putting that 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 were going up it says here at all and you know or and so on a very simple letter that was in that 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 and it genuinely could have been the end of capitalism as we know it we would have had massive problems with distributing food the problem of complex societies is that when something goes wrong it goes very wrong. or it will get to the r c a world of it in just a moment now though europe's financial woes have occupied the hearts and minds of the huge leaders for quite some time now but the crisis has a shadow to another problem that of illiteracy and as artie's test for a silly report to remains a prominent issue even in the most advanced parts of europe. there are two issues

prevalent in much of europe today they been at the forefront of election campaigns and e.u. debates one how to get more people working and two how to address the growing social divisions resulting from unemployment and ineffective integration policies but there's something integrity these efforts as some say is still a 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 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 in the

plight of whom 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 a new immigration and integration survey showed 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 the literacy in europe reiterate the risk of social exclusion it would be wonderful if. we wait for that to happen one of the turn shows that we have in the group is to make such

a fuss about this matter without the politicians and policy policy makers will have to sit up and tell you notice they say before it's too late tesser cilia r.t. brussels. art before we get to daniel with a business let's kick off the artsy world update now we'll start with italy where a strong aftershock measuring five point one has struck the northern parts of the country that's just hours after a five point eight magnitude earthquake hit the region killing at least fifteen rescuers say there are still more victims trapped under debris the main quake hit at nine am local time in the same region the source strongly one earlier this month that time seven or killed. in egypt hundreds of protesters have set fire to the campaign headquarters of the former prime minister shot freak he said to face the muslim brotherhood's confident in the second round of the presidential election next month thousands small flooded to rue square to demonstrate against the results

that called for shah free who is closely linked to the former regime to be banned from running. south asia's largest jail is turning dangerous criminals into better citizens by putting them to work in some or all the surroundings as aunties preassure explains society stands to benefit. it's a bustling factory in india men making 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 their inmates in south asia's largest jails the hard. i mean i'm a good player who is here which is sold in the outside world nirmal singh is one of twelve thousand inmates in bihar and he's serving a life sentence for murder. now he makes one hundred rupees or two dollars

a day for his work i feel that no matter what crime i committed in the past i don't want to commit any more or do anything when i'm sure i want to look for a job as a weaver. to heart is a revolutionary facility in india housing everyone from high profile criminals like former prime minister is to common robbers the masterminds behind this jail provide training for inmates as well as other activities like meditation music and painting to calm their spirits. i object to was i give them that kind of a holistic reform correctional when i was the mind get dry cleaned and then they leave the prison i do not come back that they can't handle them says many 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. is bound to go up. and while the inmates say there is nothing that compares to freedom most are trying to make the best of their time in the har. it's 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're ever released preassure either r t new delhi india. i've often done it we go the aussie person is desperate to see you again i understand there are the happy go lucky shop was in spain well not exactly

hitting the shops those have to go look as you are yes fritos become the latest victim of spending called spain's retail sales last month plunged the record ten percent year on year that's the twenty second straight months of the cloying government spending cuts rois in taxes and your toys have all put off shore because as we see the plunge of more point eight percent in april the wall street roi is into sports a new consumer confidence review were showing pessimistic feelings about the u.s. a cold a move the boys six meanwhile. has closed up the most in three months on good economic news from china the c.s. has also gone over thirteen hundred points let's check major movers now we can move on to the moscow stock exchanges here in moscow they just closed just a few minutes ago with both the old gaining over two percent if we look at some top movers on the six was just gained off the trimming first quarter losses the tronics

there luko will hold a second to public offering in hong kong next year and seeing k.b.p.s. reacted to more management grief k.b.p.s. chief executive because of friedman has resigned it comes off the block to big dog to deal between b.p. and rules and if claiming it violates existing agreements of the company they've been reports the moves parts of rules and strategy to boil t. and k. b.p. with oil and gas on this alexander 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 cash 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 pile probably from twenty billion to thirty five billion dollars fifty

two 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 or such a growth profile. i would say that anybody will want to change these assets for anything. the euro has edged once again into the red on the dollar on those eurozone new fresh woes but the ruble finished low against the greenback and choose days most go trade meanwhile the price of gold the scene is this century off the sliding for a fourth month in a row dan smith of standard chartered explains. the last few months have been somewhat unusual so demand for gold has been pretty soft and that helps explain the weakness so investors have been selling through your u.s. speculative positions and if you took a coin so i was for example in the u.s. are down about fifty percent from my home where they were a year ago so investors have been casting back and india as well of course is being

pretty lackluster through the first quarter this year and into april although it did pick up in my so you know one of the major consumers his gold there we're not really picking up as much gold as he had done in the past. right then europe today i hope to chew you with more of good news there well next hour hopefully you'll be doing with bill dodd good luck to you thanks daniel. in just a moment the headlines and then it's going to be julian our science to stay with us .
