u.n. investigators say syrian artillery is responsible for less than twenty of the one hundred eight deaths in houla and the rest including 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. and is occupy protesters in the u.s. are labeled terrorist grills the groups activists about their true goals and the latest edition of his interview program here on r.t. throughout the day.

u.n. investigators say less than twenty of the one hundred eight people killed in the houla massacre in syria died from artillery far the rest including dozens of children were executed the syrian government says evidence points of opposition islam is small the rebels claim the government the western media has been flooded in recent days with alleged eyewitness reports suggesting assad's troops would have blame but also some very different accounts but. they attacked and killed all two soldiers that raid clarks then the bandits don't die towns and burned hospital in al houla beaven killed our pharmacist he struck still because he treated and wounded soldier our children can go to school so we can go out into the phone field that no one but the army can protect our so i hate mona. other 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 had the terrorists killed learned the relatives in the fields they started the burning out keep the older but they were there too in a texas again i don't hold that get let's just and that is to crook a former british intelligence officer who now studies islamist militants says the specifics of the houla slaughter shed light on who might be to blame the 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 of love in islam not of syria 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. 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. and investigation into the who atrocity is still not yet complete but a number of western nations including the u.s. are expanding senior syrian diplomats anyway ortiz music a fan of brings us the details. france and australia have joined the u.s. 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 in miami critics say that this is unprecedented out of the 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 both size 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 sensually pushing a propaganda war of sorts is jumping ahead of themselves in releasing expelling these diplomats before the facts are known and now in the fog of war truth is often the first casualty whether it's in diplomacy or in the media that's our first words 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 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 bowling club it always supports wages wars even though there's no conspiracy to report it will wrote this sure they would told you it's part of a general malaise in the b.b.c. that schools intervention and the use of major. developing nation from the very beginning the syrian crisis has seemed to be to still. at every turn and by paid sites throughout the last months the world seen fake video of a paul simple statement that hasn't quelled the sensation hungry media from jumping the gun on any shocking piece of knees 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 this 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 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 jones 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 the and we ended up with thirty five there already is estimated to 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 foreign intervention. 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 have also showing that the mudslinging finger pointing and accusations that have been such a mark of the syrian crisis that they 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. is not the first thing that comes to mind in the list of europe's problems later this. report on how illiteracy is at the core of the inequality existing across the e.u. plus. russia relations hit new lows of the mikko friedman resigns as head of b.p.'s joint joint venture with. the billionaire poor governance on the british side we'll have more in business at around twenty past. all that still to come but first the kaspersky lab 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. has details on an internet assault that swept through the middle east

. experts that russian internet security firm cusp 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 package it up and send it back to its controllers and it's this complexity found the targets that have been hit that have convinced because this is a state backed cyber attack and a very well organized operation we suspect that. there is a nation state behind the development of this site. 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 late

who might be interested in such attacks we try to be pure facts we extract from the cold like maybe language. and in this case we found only traces of good in. all of that up 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 and some post made just cyber attacks can be found on our website right now and there's plenty more that two at the moment 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 he is involved. also online a russian aircraft carrier could host a major ice hockey game as p.r.

stunts for the country's most popular sport reach new heights. from disorganized slackers to terrorists the occupy movement has seen his media image go from bad to worse over its nine months of existence protests is 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 auntie's miniport not 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 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 oil 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 prosecution the c.

four explosives it's orchestrated ok it's all orchestras 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 can't see the occupy movement 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 one 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 staying in important i.r.t. new york. the occupy movements real mission is explored by jewel in the song shows he challenges the movement's leaders in the latest edition of his interview program and you can watch the full show next hour here on r.t. here's a taste of what to expect. i think there's been sort of a global movement and i guess it's sort of in tunisia where sort of swept across the mediterranean greece spain and just really the same movement that in america there out of people from greece and spain who were involved in very early days even before the occupation some. partner 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 for going up at cedars here at all in june or and so on

a very simple letter 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 well 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 distributing food the problem of complex societies is that when something goes wrong it goes very wrong. europe's financial worries of occupy the hearts and minds of e.u. leaders for some time now but the crisis is overshadowed another problem illiteracy is artist as a silly reports it remains a prominent issue even in 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 a new 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 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. and 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 does or cilia r.t. brussels. but let's turn our attention to some of the headlines from around the

world at this stage of the day an update a strong aftershock measuring five point one has struck northern italy aliza after a five point eight magnitude earthquake hit the region killing at least fifteen people rescuers say there are more victims trapped on that they agree the main quake hit at local time in the same region that saw a stronger one this month time said people were left dead. in egypt hundreds of protests is a subset of the campaign headquarters of the former prime minister ahmed shafik he said to face the muslim brotherhoods kind of that in the second round of the presidential election next month thousands more flooded cars to his square to demonstrate against the first round results they called for sure. to be banned from running. south asia's largest jail is turning dangerous criminals into better citizens by putting them to work in some very nice surroundings. explains society is the one 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 and fact they have no freedom at all because their inmates in south asia's largest jails the har. i mean all round it i make good clothes 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 anymore or do anything when i'm sure i want to look for a job as we've. the 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 chill 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 way by which the mind gets dry cleaned and then they leave the prison i do not come back that big gets handed 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 groups 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. 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 are ever released preassure either r t new delhi india. with all this about the new angry birds flying into battle yes printing the first angry. i agree called is the being called of the world's most game in the bulletin but first this to us more is because the roi is in the often spoiled consumer confidence report showing gloomy feelings well the u.s.

have been reports the move part of rules the strategy to boil seeing k b p but oil and gas analyst alexander says that doesn't make sense. i don't think that actually 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 they generate 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 all get a huge cash flow probably from twenty billion 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 or such a growth profile. i would say that anybody will want to change this as this for anything. once again staged into the red on the dollar more euro bad news of course
