u.s. investigators say syrian artillery is responsible for less than twenty of the one hundred eight deaths in the rest including children show signs of brutal execution . we suspect that. there is a nation state behind the development of the cyber attack russian security experts who discovered one of the most delicious computer viruses ever found targeting the middle east says it's most likely sponsored by a foreign government. and a dockyard for justice in the u.s. a labeled terrorist group is the group's activists about their true goals in the latest edition of his interview program throughout the day here on r.t. .
1:01 pm
and 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 hood 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 witness reports suggesting assad strips were to blame but there are also some very different accounts. but. they attacked and killed all the soldiers it raged blocks then the band it stormed our towns and burned ospital in our hula these and 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
1:02 pm
so why no one but the army can protect our. gangs came yesterday and they said either you help us kill soldiers or policemen or we will kill you and then they started killing our wives and children along with the soldiers manning the road blocks this matter that the terrorists can learn emeritus in the field and say this is the journey i hope so we escaped to al gore but they were there to an attack to forget and i don't want to hold on let just a crook a former british intelligence officer who now studies islamist militants says the specifics of the huda slaughter shed light on who might 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
1:03 pm
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 return to syria or perhaps iraqis who come up. to take part of it yes we're talking about al qaeda like groups. because 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. and an investigation into the atrocity is still not yet complete but a number of western nations including the u.s. are expelling senior syrian diplomats anyway when i get the details from marty's lucy could one of us live there in the us in new york alongside the u.s. which other countries are participating in this coordinated action against the syrian government. well france and australia have joined the u.s.
1:04 pm
in expelling their syrian ambassador as well other countries including germany italy spain and canada have started the process of sending diplomatic staff home top officials from many of these western nations have placed the blame on this weekend's houla massacre directly on the government of president bashar al assad this despite the fact that the investigation into the killings has only just begun critics say that this these unprecedented amounts of diplomatic showmanship could threaten to undermine the fragile peace process in syria and also send confusing messages especially as the u.n. security council's own most recent statement urges refrain from claiming placing the blame on either side and urges both size both all parties involved in the conflict to stick to the peace plan the other issue at hand here is that the situation on the ground is not clear and some feel that these western countries are essentially pushing a propaganda war of sorts is jumping ahead of themselves in releasing expelling
1:05 pm
these diplomats before the facts are known now in the fog of war truth is often the first casualty whether it's in diplomacy or in the media etc first reports. when the b.b.c. ran this face a familiar mistakingly claiming it was syria it led to some fish 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 he's ready to publish any image sent by a citizen activist or journalist or whoever the b.b.c. is like a british. it always supports wages wars even though there's no conspiracy to report it will wrote this i'm sure they were told you it's part of a general belief in the b.b.c. that calls for intervention. and the use of major. developing nations the from the
1:06 pm
very beginning the syrian crisis is seen to be distorted and blood 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 conflicts amid schools that the peace plan is now failing visited damascus. 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 rees from the stop the war coalition called
1:07 pm
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 who are 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 trustees in iraq the same rhetoric john says could lead to even more lines last we saw what happened in libya with this everybody understood the gadhafi regime. with a horrible dictatorship but when the west into and we ended up with thirty five there already is estimated that more than ten thousand lives 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 oppression intervention we are completely against.
1:08 pm
arming the uprising. as well as we are against. we declared 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 have only served to me further away and not closer to the tree that's the truth the people in syria have been paying with their lives sarah. lunde. is not the first thing that comes to mind in a list of europe's problems later this hour we'll report on how illiteracy is at the core of the inequality existing across the plus. russia relations hit new lows of the mikko friedman resigns as head of the peace
1:09 pm
joy joint venture with russia's. billionaire blames poor governance on the british side we'll have more in business at around twenty past. that story come for you. because russia's internet security company called it the worst cyber attack in history the un said the flame virus was the most serious cyber warning ever. and has the details on an internet assault that swept through the mideast. 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 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
1:10 pm
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 doesn't feed into a near existing groups the developer tools and we try not to speak with a cool might be interested in such objects we try to be pure facts we extract from the cold like maybe language. in this case we only traces of. all of that at the kitchen around has already accused us of the attack. 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 on that story as well as reports on some post major cyber
1:11 pm
attacks can be found on our website and there's plenty more there too including the u.s. ambassador to russia 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 a team is involved. also online a russian aircraft carrier could host a major on this hockey game is a p.r. stunts for the country's most popular sports to reach new heights. from disorganized slackers to terrorists the occupy movement has seen its media image go from bad to worse over its nine months of existence protest is now even face accusations that they pose a threat not just to corporate america but to the country's
1:12 pm
a whole but activists say it's all just scare mongering to stifle the movement of port reports. what began last september returned with a vengeance on the first of many tens of thousands of americans a powerful 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 of a 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 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
1:13 pm
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 these collaborated with the suspects loaned 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 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. but that's the goal. now
1:14 pm
maybe three months later to be another one maybe six months later there be another one where now the occupy movement is really can't get in or want to be around them so much because there may be some type of terrorist plan or plot. before the cleveland five came the new birth 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 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
1:15 pm
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 jude in a song challenges the movement's leaders in the latest edition of his interview program you can watch the full show a little later this hour here naughty but in the meantime 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 where sort of swept across the
1:16 pm
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 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 have been ten years ago we had these protest movements for whirling up at sea to seattle and you know or and so on very symbolic and 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 this is 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 upon with complex societies is that when something goes wrong it goes very wrong.
1:17 pm
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 and as artie's to report it remains a prominent issue even in the most advanced parts of europe. there are two issues prevalent in much of europe today baby 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 integra to these efforts that 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.
1:18 pm
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 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 illiteracy in europe reiterate the risk of social exclusion it would be wonderful if. we wait for that to
