confusion and grief over the poor the massacre is jumped on by the u.s. and its allies to further demonize as saudi arabia allegedly options off suicide bombers to join the syrian rebel ranks. it's crunch time for julian a songe as a u.k. court affairs passed final judgment on whether the whistleblower should be extradited over life sex crimes. and speculation over reports of washington parachuted spies into north korea inside a fresh wave of tension and distrust on the peninsula.

oh. my from our studios in central moscow you're watching r t with me and you so now it's eight pm at eight am i should say here in the russian capital good morning to you and thanks for being with us we begin with that u.n. investigators that have only just begun to piece together exactly what happened during the bloody massacre in the syrian township of houla but some nations are waiting for conclusive proof before announcing president also killed opinion based largely on a number of unverified accounts well the situation is further confused by a plethora of witness reports by main rebel islam is a gang for the slaughter. explains. the united nations secretary general and the u.n. supervision mission in syria have been tasked with the responsibility of investigating who was responsible for last week's massacre in syria but in the meantime the u.s.

and its allies are taking unilateral moves that some critics say could possibly provoke further bloodshed and compromise a fragile cease fire that has been held in the country the u.s. ambassador to the united nations susan rice says the syrian government is fully responsible for quote the hideous massacre of innocents in houla the u.s. diplomat also took to her twitter page to accuse the syrian government of point blank brutalizing its people in the meantime syrian diplomats were expelled from australia canada spain britain italy germany and france the newly elected french president francois hollande during a t.v. interview said that international military intervention in syria could be a possibility through the backing of a un security council resolution now according to the u.n. high commissioner for human rights eighty percent of the one hundred and eight

syrians who were found dead in houla were executed and less than twenty were killed by artillery fire clearly we see the united nations is very much focused on finding out who was responsible for the massacre in syria that unfolded last week. but we spoke to author and journalist our mind for her view on the expansion and come from nations some states have thrown. she believes it all stems from the bush doctrine and u.s. foreign policy that drives the country's foreign intervention ambitions. in the case of syria for instance at the beginning it's the introduction of propaganda. and to end perception change activities to sway the middle population against the regime and then to to create acts like strikes and boycotts to up the ante and then to introduce national front movements like the syrian national council or liberation army as like the free syrian army and the introduction of foreign

advisors and foreign aid and foreign weapons into the conflict you know and bringing bringing sabotage and violence into urban areas and how to prop the population along the way so it's there in black and white and everyone should read it it's a road map to what's happening in syria well outside support for the iran of sort of syria's armed groups is no secret saudi arabia and qatar alone funnel millions of dollars to the rebels every month but as can each to cam reports it's not just cash and weapons being smuggled into syria by but ideology to. this is said to be an option taking place at a hotel in saudi arabia what's on sale is a human life the video shows a father offering his son as a suicide bomber into syria and reason money as compensation. for the more.

we should be rumors of oh. yes no i don't think. we are you want to be. in the media. but chilling footage was leaked on the web we cannot independently confirm its original source or authenticity and then down on her own home. but you do know that. syria has seen a dramatic increase in suicide bombings the syrian government has been raising the alarm about its gulf neighbor sponsoring and staging terrorist attacks in their country. but it seems here in the west nobody hears their outcry the spotlight is placed solely on the actions of the syrian government in the meantime saudi arabia qatar and other gulf states are flooding millions of dollars worth of weapons into syria while u.s. officials say they are providing their gulf allies with intelligence and command

and control infrastructure the statements we hear from the state department is that . the u.s. is there to help the opposition with. non-lethal weapons however if others would provide that is the weapon we will manage this so it's. going to the gulf countries are not the brains behind this they are merely instruments. the brains you can find them in the u.s. and israel in some countries the u.s. is formally committed to kofi annan as u.n. backed peace plan which calls for a halt to violence by all sides of the conflict but some analysts say the influx of foreigners and increasing number of suicide bombings make peace in syria virtually impossible and plunges it deeper into chaos the u.s. wanted to change the role of syria and if it cannot. do

that the role of the regime the political role the syrian regime plays an active role in supporting the palestinian resistance the lebanese resistance in claiming brights and palestine and things like this and this is not doesn't sit well with with israel so the u.s. would never say no to any israeli desire or interest in the area so if we can not change the role of syria we will destroy syria so that it doesn't have any international monitors are on the ground investigating the massacre in houla where it's not clear who's pulling responsible to the deaths of over one hundred men women and children also on a regular basis they observed destruction from suicide bombings which bear all the signs of terrorist attacks we need. to understand that this is going only to create more suffering for the women and

children the syrian people outside syria back in saudi arabia a young man named ali was allegedly sold for the equivalent of four hundred thousand dollars maybe you know. i mean we don't know the fate of khalid maybe he is now on his way to syria to bomb something or maybe he is behind one of the deadly blasts which already happened there with the u.s. supporting the proactive approach of its golf allies with regards to syria the question one might ask is could it be passively supporting extremism like this as well i'm going to check our reporting from washington. well washington's and viewable record of international military involvement became a solid argument for the entire goodness to foreign intervention in syria but with the hawks back in washington even bother continue to cross talk on r t at eleven thirty am g.m.t. to get more viewpoints on the matter. that the big if there is going to be an

intervention i would tend to think they will be along those lines it's not that we're not going to see. all of iraq even though rerun of libya ok anyway it is a rerun of iraq go ahead it's a rerun of iraq it's a rerun of iraq post original goal for reducing you know no fly zones humanitarian corridors that kind of thing that or nowhere near as benign as they say mark you want to jump in there. no i think i think that's it and we rock is a terrible example the only thing i would say is who the creative destruction is in washington may come up with an even newer more disastrous unique form of payoff from the proof the financial records will have to tell. us and south korean special forces have reportedly been parachuting into north korea to spy on a network of secret underground military installations and speaking at

a conference in miami last commanding officer confirmed sending in special work on a science team's pentagon believes the sites contain as many as twenty air bases a vast artillery supplies ready and an invasion eric zero seven zero can i should say from the campaign to end the korean war believes the actions of this nature will devastate any peace attempts on the peninsula. the consequence of this is leads to distrust increased distrust it builds the rhetoric on both sides and it makes a climate of discussion and dialogue more difficult these type of mistrust is the exact reason that we need dialogue and that countries like russia and other countries need to put some pressure on the parties to get to the table but we tend to make the threat of a very violent and fearful situation in north korea just serve other in

a large military base pointing to china. it's being constructed to serve the table so many troops occupying. there are a lot of reasons we like to maintain that edge there. well the fate being the forecast for another so-called rogue state iran is the topic of our exclusive interview coming up in twenty minutes we speak to israel's deputy prime minister about the ongoing for and golfing tehran's nuclear program here's a preview. there are things. against syrian nuclear capabilities. or would play is. from the worth of other countries probably on the table for. ping for going to a north everything should be made public but i think that this is a serious better it's a very serious matter and think it should be taken care of very seriously and this includes all sorts of actions and i don't speak of war here.

but it's d. day for now whistleblower julian assange just he awaits a crucial u.k. court ruling over his extradition to sweden he's wanted there for questioning over alleged sex crimes the wiki leaks founder has been held in britain under house arrest without charge for more than five hundred days now our taste our first looks at the case against him. detained without charge and facing extradition today in a santa is how that is a modern day cheats see what he likes wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks about the many of the same people who had championed ten have now joined the smear campaign aimed at silencing him julian assange is a cyber terrorist and war time he should be killed and we've got to apprehend mr aslan's the founder of wiki leaks and bring him to justice as a violator of the espionage act because if we don't this will keep happening the

dead man can't leaks that this guy is a traitor a treasonous and he has broken every law the united states the guy ought to be and i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death i don't want to do it illegally shoot the son of a first with a billing and credit card companies suddenly refuse to process de nations then came the mainstream media collaborates is meanwhile estancia itself has spent the last five hundred days under house arrest a very short time off the record weeks released the launch number of u.s. diplomatic cables suddenly the case was reopened and the prosecutors decided that they didn't want to investigate and interview him. it could be just a coincidence but taken together with the general witch hunt against julian and ricky beaks it does look a bit suspicious why is it that i am kept. under electronic house arrest. when i have not even been charged in any country sweden wants him extradited for

questioning ava sexual conduct allegations of having unprotected yet consensual sex . and with this climb unique to sweden with many a questioning why he found himself on the same interpol list alongside senior mexican drug lords the european arrest warrant system is basically a no questions asked system because it works on a tick box basis prosecutors in one state can essentially fill in a form and if they have the correct boxes about the nature of the offense that's been committed and if that offense is one that can be imprisoned for a certain period of time then extradition will be ordered no questions asked the european commission has acknowledged that these arrest warrants are being misused no questions asked system leaves judges very little discretion to refuse the warrants now will lose julian assange just case could be set to see the law in this

area. the outcome of the case could have why did play cations the human rights. when wiki leaks published us embassy cables it gave the world an unprecedented insight into u.s. government activities and revealed some uncomfortable truths it also paved the way for others to follow in his footsteps it's time to see the. sound and it's also important about really. no longer necessary but democratic process is something that now seems to be lacking he could be locked up with very little access to the outside world he will be allowed to see a priest and he will be allowed to see a lawyer but his ability to speak to others family members the media to read newspapers and to access the internet could be severely restricted. if he fails the hill likely take the case to the european court of human rights they could still be

much tougher hurdles ahead. but. the lid. extradition laws in sweden today and getting fast tracked states where you could face really serious charges effectively over you the enemy by the release that we can be ok but. i think this will send a chilling effect to potential be so close that if they did charlie the secrecy and indeed in many cases. united states they will face retribution and that's bad for democracy it's bad for human rights and is why he has many supporters have to make sure that night was the only key aside there are three days. now the occupy movement is also struggling to be heard having been silenced by the police and ignored by mainstream media some of the leaders joined

julian assange on his exclusive interview series here on archie where they tackled the cornerstone of democracy freedom of speech you can watch that in full next hour here's a preview i think in terms of the rule of law i mean my own experience just is if one citizen one dollar one vote is so radical that it's got me written up in australian security mag you know a tie to al qaeda and i'm getting private messages from other security contractors that have relationships with the f.b.i. telling me that you know be careful you're somehow connected to al qaeda that tells me at least. it's an intimidation tactic you know essentially. students in canada's quebec angered by a hike intuition fees have resume talks with the government earlier eighty four protesters were arrested outside the building where the talks were how under a fresh anti demonstration law dumped it after after over three months of violent

protest the legislation triggered even more rallies journalist michael for ian says the media is quick to pounce on the on the actions of a minority anarchist group. but there are always people within those protests who are the self described anarchist in who are there to sort of perpetuate the violence that's what we see from for most i was a journalist and as a as a commentator i'm able to be there and speak with people on the ground and talk to them what's going on and when i'm down there i see that over ninety to ninety five percent of the people who are on the street who are protesting are there as pacifists they are there to just give a message to the government but it's always that five to ten percent who are in the crowd that are the black bloc who are at the end of his to start this sort of violence and vandalism that we see on the streets of montreal that the media focuses in on. but there's more for you on our website ard t dot com including and then you know piece of elvis member of memorabilia as the crypt his body was laid to rest in before being moved to graceland goes on you know how much. does russian

ation and pro market and that's why it's so the first place to be and nothing more ruthlessly than needs to be at this particular time meanwhile kathy takes no bought off to not back but keeps on hoping they can lighten up the confidence or sink in the mouth that is all the time think. the reasons. kathy along with thousands of others will keep chasing every vacancy but in the meantime any job is better than no job but told laura smith london. twenty two minutes past the hour the second look at some other stories from around the world mitt romney house claims the republican nomination of a us presidential race and will go on to challenge barack obama in november both to secure enough delegates after winning a primary in texas getting a projected seventy percent of the vote the former massachusetts governor will be

there good morning to you yesterday the markets were doing rather well because there was talk of china taking measures to boost growth but i understand they've had a change of heart what's happening out there absolutely this is serious stuff actually because it was really helping the global markets gain momentum inside of all the european sovereign debt crisis issues we've got going on the spain issue but the problem is we've now had media reports that they don't intend to enforce laws stimulus like they did back in the financial crisis four years ago and that's what investors were really holding out for because we did have comments from the chinese premier saying that they were pledging to boost growth and that was helping all of them all fit to really grow yesterday in post gains as you can see the nikkei on the high side a really reacting to the nazis happy whatsoever about that use so more of that lights up and the u.s. stocks on wall street as well they rose to they were feeling that momentum in the

also there was speculation that greece will stay in the year and that's off the polls showed that voters supported politicians who back the nation's bailouts now investors stateside have a lot to digest as well of the coming back from their holiday spending that was also a hot topic of discussion by the ten year bond yield rose to the highest levels and . also to mention facebook as well because it was trading below thirty dollars. remember the idea was that yes here all the exchange rates and the ruble lost out against the u.s. dollar and the ruble. and the euro excuse me that's your dollar but that has declined all that news from china so we're going to be watching that now the russian market. yesterday and again before interesting to see how they open up today now that we've had a change of heart from china they were feeling the love yesterday from asia ok moving over to about spat bank it is russia's biggest
