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. diplomats 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
1:03 am
a un security council resolution now according to the u.n. high commissioner for human rights eighty percent of the one hundred 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. well outside support for the myriad of syria's armed groups is no secret saudi arabia and qatar alone funnel millions of dollars to the rebels every month but as going to cannes reports it's not just kassin weapons being smuggled into syria but ideology to. this is said to be an auction 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 raising money as compensation. for the woman who should soon. yes hello i'm hiding from your. family are you going to the united kingdom even though. the chilling footage was leaked on the web we cannot independently confirm its original source or authenticity and the sound of your home. video no no matter how long. 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
1:05 am
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 if the weapons we will manage that so it's a lot of hypocrisy in 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 fully responsible for 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. everyone outside syria

1:08 am
action coming from the u.s. be justified with so much blood already on washington's hands. at the end of the day if there's 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 a rerun of iraq not even though rerun of libya ok some 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. we rock is a terrible example doozie i would say is who is the creative destruction us in washington may come up with an even newer more disastrous unique form of chaos. the syrians or iraqis will have to assume. the u.s. and south korean special forces have reportedly been parachuting into north korea

1:10 am
countries need to put some pressure on the parties to get to the table but we tend to make out the threat of a very violent and fearful situation in north korea just serve other ends just a large military base pointing to china on jeju island it's being constructed to serve maintaining so many troops occupying south really after all these years there are a lot of reasons we like to maintain that edge there. but the fate being forecast for another so called rogue state iran is the topic of our exclusive interview coming up next hour we'll speak to israel's deputy prime minister about the ongoing furor and golfing tehran's nuclear program here's a look at what's ahead. i think the thought done against syrian nuclear capabilities. by all players. from the worth of other countries probably on the table from within the. ping for going but not everything should be
1:11 am
