online on screen this is r.t. live from central moscow twenty four hours a day u.n. investigators say less than twenty of the one hundred eight people killed in the who in a massacre in syria died from artillery fire the rest including dozens of children were executed the syrian government says evidence points of opposition islamists while the rebels blame the government the western media has been flooded in recent days with alleged eyewitness reports suggesting a sad stroup sort of blame but there are also some very different accounts. but of that they attacked and killed all the soldiers that raged blocks then the bandits stormed our towns and burned the hospital in our hula they even killed our pharmacist at his truck store because he treated it wounded soldier our children can't go to schools we can't go out into the phone fields and work no one but the

army can protect us. of gangs came yesterday and they said either you help us girls 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 known to marial it is in the fields this is not the burning i hope so we escaped to al gore but they were there to attack to forget and that on the whole on the start that is to crook a former british intelligence officer who now studies islam as militants says the specifics of the houla slaughter shed light on who might be to blame. methodology type of killing of beheading of slitting of throat slitting of throats of children two and of the relation of bodies has been a character respect not. in islam 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
12:03 pm
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. there's very end of the spectrum of the opposition they may be a minority in terms of the numbers of the overall officer but they are now defining the war. the syrian rebels are also getting support from lebanon. has carried out an open investigation there she posted the findings on her twitter feed she talked to a number of arms dealers and smugglers one of whom was particularly proud of his latest acquisition from the body of a syrian officer he had killed check out the areas feed for the chilling reality of arms trafficking. and investigation into the hood atrocities still not yet complete
12:04 pm
but a number of european nations the us canada and australia are expelling senior syrian diplomats anyway officials from france and britain say the move is to put more pressure on the government washington's also preparing to provide direct support to the rebels if the un peace plan fails with witness reports coming from syria difficult to verify each party in the conflict and taking sides in their accounts of what's happening as artie's first reports in pursuing a certain agenda authenticity sometimes takes a back seat. when the b.b.c. ran this space a film mistakingly claiming it was syria. it led to some fifth 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.
12:05 pm
is like a british bombing club it always supports majors wars and even though there's no conspiracy the reporter women wrote this i'm sure they were soldiers 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 at every turn and by by 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
12:06 pm
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 some of us who've been around long enough for a member cry in the western press some from western governments over similar. 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 we ended up with thirty five. already is
12:07 pm
estimated that more than ten thousand lies 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 move over oppression intervention. completely against arming the uprising. we declared 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 train that's the truth the people in syria have been paying with their lives

from 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 country as a whole but activists say it's all just scare mongering to stifle the movement. 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. 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
12:12 pm
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.
12:13 pm
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'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 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 terrorist group instead direction came from an f.b.i.
12:14 pm
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. well the occupy movements real mission is explored by june in the song jersey challenges the movement's lead doesn't the latest addition a visit to the program and you can watch the full show next hour here auntie in the meantime here's a brief taste of what to expect. i think there's been sort of a global movement and i guess it started in tunisia where sort of swept across the mediterranean greece spain really the same movement that america they're out of people from greece and spain who were involved in 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 writing that wouldn't happen ten years ago we had these protest movements were going up at seattle 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
12:16 pm
a sense of being agree and i think these are simply what's happening is simply impossible without a 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. europe's financial woes of occupy the hearts and minds of e.u. leaders for some time now but the crisis is overshadowed another problem illiteracy that is our teachers are silly reports it remains a prominent issue even the most advanced parts of europe. there were 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 these efforts that some say is still largely a taboo topic illiteracy. a european union study has found that more than
12:17 pm
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. 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 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 illiteracy in europe reiterate the risk of social exclusion it would be wonderful if societies were less equal. but while we wait for that to happen one of the intentions that we have in the group is to make such a fuss about this matter that put the politicians and policy policy makers will have to sit up and take notice they say before it's too late tess or cilia r.t. brussels now some other headlines from around the globe and our world update this hour a strong aftershock measuring five point one has struck northern italy now after a five point eight magnitude quake hit the region killing at least fifteen people
