markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy is a report on our. guild by default confusion and conflicting reports over the houla massacre proved no barrier to further demonizing also with france now threatening military intervention in syria . allegations that saudi arabia is going well beyond the call of duty and its support for syrian rebels with suicide bombers apparently being auctioned off to join the rebel right. it's crunch time for julian a song as a new cake order prepares to pounce final judgment on whether the whistleblower should be axed just we did over alleged sex crimes. and speculation over reports washington parachuted spies and to north korea their size

a fresh wave of tension and distrust on the peninsula. my from our headquarters in central moscow you're watching archie with me and you said now it's ten am here in the russian capital good to have you with us we begin with the u.n. investigators who have only just begun to piece together exactly what happened during the bloody massacre in the syrian township of who are but some nations are waiting for conclusive proof before announcing president assad's guilt opinion based largely on a number of unverified accounts about the situation is further confused by plethora of witness reports blaming rebel islamist gangs for the slaughter artie's were in a poor naya explains. the united. 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. 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 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. jay walker contributor to the modern tokyo times news website and someone who's following the syrian crisis says there's an obvious media bias crossing over atrocities committed by the rebels. but you said in the sequel service here i went missing at the aids clinic terrorists have nonmilitary arms this is completely ridiculous it's clearly that an agenda is happening against syria and that's. he

and other nations are alone being allowed to supply terrorist militia arms and basically a massacre happens where the terrorist acts ignored if the syrian army try to befriend the people don't they get conned and i don't believe it's a fair judgement because at the moment nobody knows which sorry the massacre and there's also another massacre call. where we know all the usual news kill two entire families jura same period but the media has been all this. well outside support for the myriad of serious armed groups it's no secret saudi arabia and qatar alone a funnel millions of dollars to the rebels every month but as it is going to carry reports it's not just cash and weapons being smuggled into syria but ideology too. 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 wheezing money as compensation. for the war. which is the words of the hour. yes about that is. that we are you are we are. the chilling footage was leaked on the web we cannot independently confirm its original source or authenticity. there are no doubt. but you know now 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 and 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 if their weapons we will manage that 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 eyebright 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 inside everyone outside syria

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 me only. me 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 tacitly supporting extremism like this as well i'm going to check our reporting from washington. now in our tease cross talk at eleven thirty am g.m.t. peter the valid question is whether foreign intervention is a way to bring an end to the vicious civil war in syria can of calls for armed

action coming from the us be justified with so much blood already on washington's hands. at the end of the day 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 a rerun of iraq or not not even the 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 reduced you know no fly zones humanitarian corridors the kind of thing that or nowhere near as benign as they say mark you want to jump in there. though i think i think that we rock is a terrible example there is i would say those who knows the creative destruction us in washington may come up with an even newer more disastrous unique form of chaos worse things from the proof the syrians or iraqis will have to solve. u.s.

and south korean special forces have reportedly been parachuting into north korea to spy on a network of secret underground military installations that's according to a high ranking american military commander in charge of special operations in the region the pentagon says he is hiding as many as twenty air bases and start to liberate supplies ready for an iron fist response in the event of a foreign invasion experts say that if the claims of spy landings are true it violates existing agreements and will only escalate tension on the peninsula if he was shared by eric farrow can from the campaign to end the korean war and believes actions of this would devastate any peace attempts. but the consequence of this is leads to distrust increase 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 ends a large military base pointing to china jeju island it's being constructed to serve maintaining so many troops occupying south korea after all these years there are a lot of reasons we like to maintain that edge there. now the fate being forecast for another so-called rogue state iran is the topic of our exclusive interview coming up in just under twenty minutes we speak to israel's deputy prime minister about the ongoing sure engulfing tehran's nuclear program here's a preview. there are things that are done against syria the nuclear capabilities by all players. from the worth of other countries

probably do on the table for who thinks we're going to not everything should be made public but i think that this is a serious better it's a very serious matter and i think it should be taken care of very seriously and this includes all sorts of actions and i don't speak of war here. it's d.-day for the renowned whistleblower julian a songes here waits a crucial u.k. court ruling over his extradition to sweden he's wanted there for questioning over alleged sex crimes while the wiki leaks founder has been held in britain under house arrest without charge for more than five hundred dates archies sara firth looks at the case against him. detained without charge and facing extradition in a sanchez hello that is a modern day cheats. wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks that the many of the same people he had championed ten have now joined this may campaign

aimed at silencing hand julian assange is a cyber terrorist and war time he should be killed and we've got to apprehend mr simes 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 shot i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death penalty i want to do it illegally shoot the son of a very short time off the record weeks release 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 we could be 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 a vis sexual conduct allegations of having unprotected yet consensual sex. and with this climb unique to sweden 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 then extradition will be ordered no questions asked the european commission has acknowledged that these arrest warrants are being misused no questions asked this judge is 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 help why did play cations the human rights issue. when wiki leaks published u.s. embassy cables it gave the world an unprecedented insight into u.s. government take to vittie and revealed some uncomfortable truths it's time to see the. sound and it's also important that really we. 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 united states has

a liberal extradition laws in three to fast track states where he could face extremely serious charges. of the other you know me by the release of the cable. i think this will soon a chilling effect to potential whistle blows that if they do. 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. there are. now the occupy movement is also struggling to be heard having been silenced by the police and ridiculed by mainstream media some of its leaders joined julian assange on his exclusive interview series here in r.t.e.

where they tackled the cornerstone of democracy freedom of speech he wants it in full next hour here's a look at what's ahead. 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. 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 mediately. it's an intimidation tactic you know essentially. students in canada is quote back angered by a hike intuition fees have resumed talks with the government earlier eighty four protesters were arrested outside the building where the talks were how old under fresh anti demonstration law adopted after over three months of violent protest the

legislation triggered even more rallies both journalist michael for ian says the media is quick to pounce on the actions of a minority anarchist group. but there are always people within those protests who are the self described and her kids and who are there to sort of perpetuate the violence that's what we see from for most of us in journalism as a as a commentator i'm able to be there and speak with people on the ground and talk to me 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 are there to just give a message to the government but it's always that five to ten percent 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. and there's more for you on our website r t v dot com including and then you sort of piece and now this memorabilia the crypt his body was laid to rest stand before

and the. global markets rallied earlier this way on the hopes that a massive stimulus spending package was coming out from china but we've had the reports today as i was telling you earlier showing that the government is now likely to be injecting the same lot of cash that it did back in the financial crisis of two thousand and eight so as you can see the russian market is all responding to that and we've got the r.t.s. down one point four percent and the mindset is around eight tenths of a sense in negative territory we've also got fulling oil prices as well which are taking that toll here in moscow and the russian ruble is moving and shaking now to see how it's performing in its first hour of trade and it is the retreating again the boskin of currency is that is down against the law and the euro the euro toll is on its way of years well it's one twenty four sixty nine is it remains a whole ring there that two year low you are moving at all and we're going to talk
