guilt by default confusion and conflicting reports over the houla massacre proved no barrier to further demonizing also his frowns 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 rebel ranks. it's crunch time for julia no songs as a u.k. court prepares to pass a final judgment on whether the whistleblower should be extradited to sweden over alleged sex crimes. and speculation over reports washington parachuted spies into north korea in science

a fresh wave of tension and distrust on the korean peninsula. the rossignol kids have been. told china is dropping clancy and jet a lot of cast into the slowing economy i mean twenty minutes time how the figures on the deep south. it's eleven am here in moscow this is r t coming to you live from an isa now away with our top story and u.n. investigators have only just begun to piece together exactly what happened during the bloody massacre in the syrian township of houla but some nations aren't waiting for conclusive proof before announcing president assad's guilt opinion based largely on a number of un verified accounts of the situation is further confuse before witness reports blaming rebel islamist gangs for the slaughter in important 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 now according to the u.n. high commissioner for human rights eighty percent of the one hundred 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 in the meantime 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 alon 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. well lead jaywalker contributor to the modern tokyo times news website and someone who's following the syrian crisis so there is an obvious media bias in over atrocities committed by the rebels. i don't believe it's a judgment because at the moment nobody knows which side did the massacre and who lost one of the massacre. where we know all the islam is killed two entire families

to the same period. and all this also you said in the will service there i witnessed in the state that terrorists have no military arms this is completely ridiculous is clearly that an agenda is happening against syria and that's. and other nations are allowing being allowed to supply terrorists. and basically if a massacre happens by the terrorist acts ignored if the syrian army try to defend the people then they get condemned. 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 is going to extra can reports it's not just cash and weapons being smuggled into syria but ideology as well. this is said to be an option taking place at a hotel in saudi arabia what's on sale is

a human life video shows a father offering his son as a suicide bomber into syria and raising money as compensation i think the product of my knowing. how to fight his brother is already a martyr yes that is what we're going to send him to then. let's start the bidding of two hundred thousand riaz the chilling footage was leaked on the web we cannot independently confirm its original source or authenticity. they are sacrificing their lives we need you to sacrifice your money online don't be stingy . 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. how do you use to know that like i said 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 that so it's. 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 us 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

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 only a million and a half a million and a half we have a winner. 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 up 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 in our tease cross talk and eleven thirty am g.m.t. bit of a valid question is whether foreign intervention is

a way to bring an end to the vicious civil war in syria can the calls for armed action coming from the u.s. be justified but 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 though rerun of libya ok some reason why 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 that 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 sort of 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 worsley 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 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 vast artillery of supplies ready for an iron fist response in the event of a foreign invasion by experts say that if the claims of a spy landing are true it would violate six existing or green is and will only escalate tensions on the peninsula the way shared by eric wrote can promise a campaign to end the korean war who believes actions of this nature would devastate any peace attempt. but the consequence of this is leads to distrust increase distrust 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. so many. who we have these years there are a lot of reasons we like to maintain that edge there. well the fate being forecast for another so-called rogue state in iran is the topic of our exclusive interview coming up next hour we'll speak to israel's deputy prime minister about the ongoing pure engulfing tehran's nuclear program. there are things that are done against syrian nuclear capabilities by all players.

from the west and other countries some of it is on the table some with under the table and things going on 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. now it's d.-day for the renowned 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 four hundred days now martin sara firth looks at the case against him. detained without charge and facing extradition today in a songes how that is a modern day cheats. wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks that

than many of the same people he had championed ten have now joined this may 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 penalty i want to do it illegally shoot the son of a very short time after we could be. released to launch a number of u.s. diplomatic cables suddenly the case was reopened and the prosecutors decided that they did 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 ava 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 of these judges very little discretion to refuse the warrant now will lose julian assange just case could be set to see the lawyer in this area. the

outcome of the case could help why did play cations the human rights. when wiki leaks published the us embassy cables it gave the world an unprecedented insight into u.s. government activities and revealed some uncomfortable truths 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 united states has a liberal extradition laws in three to fast track to states where he could face extremely serious charges. the overheating the enemy by the release of the rickety 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 is still. well 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

julius on his exclusive interview series here in archie where they tackled the cornerstone of democracy freedom of speech you can watch that in full later this 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. 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'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 held under a fresh anti demonstration law adopted after over three months of violent protests

the legislation triggered even more rallies well journalist michael for ian says the media is quick to pounce on the actions of a minority and our kids group. but there are always people within those protests who are the self described anarchists in who are there to sort of perpetuate the violence that's what we see from for most i was in journalism 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 are there to just give a message to the government but it's always that five to ten percent in the crowd that are there to laugh block who are 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. well there's more for you on our website r t v dot com including an unusual piece of elvis memorabilia as the crypt his body but laid to rest in before being moved

businesses place and face the clinic. so i'm not. more selective now because i've been going to jobs that anything despite applying for what ever she could find kathy's still working part time a university graduate in a two day a week data entry position she's not alone increasing numbers of people are scraping around for bits of part time work often working harder and longer for less money figures show the number of women on willingly forced into part time work is at its highest since records began and the number of men working part time because they can't find full time jobs has more than doubled just in the last four years it's a toxic situation created and exacerbated by the u.k.'s ailing economy austerity cuts mean according to unions six hundred twenty five jobs are being lost in the public sector every day at the moment nearly six people are chasing every fulltime

vacancy and that has while you do economic implications but taking a big hit. we clean comes out of styles and also how much they can spend on goods and services which has a broader impact on the economy as well as sort of the latest job figures show u.k. unemployment as a whole has fallen but evidence suggests that only because more people are taking on temporary or part time jobs and according to e.u. figures more employees in britain are forced into part time jobs than anywhere else in europe workers' union unison thinks the government's making it worse by blaming austerity there is as you know oscar. are two measures going on particularly in the developed world and this government since being elected is exploiting that opportunity because this government hates the government it's pro individualize

ation and pro market and that's why it's so we for this place to be and causing more ruthlessly than needs to be at this particular time meanwhile kathy takes not bought off to not back but keeps on hoping they can lighten up the confidence or sink in a mouthful that is a little on the thing. and so reasons that the only copy 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. let's take a look now at some other stories from around the world mitt romney has clinched the republican nomination in the u.s. presidential race and will go on to challenge barack obama in november election to secure enough delegates after winning a primary in texas getting a projected seventy percent of the vote for the former massachusetts governor will

there so the european markets now opening are now open i should say what's going on there yeah absolutely they are indeed open they've been open for about twenty minutes or so but right now we're looking at negative figures and they said and that's much because spanish bonds are. harassed in the wake of news that joan's raising agency has downgraded the country's debt with a negative outlook let me just tell you that the dax is actually in negative territory by one point two percent just to clarify that for your i can now we've now looking at debt junk status for the spanish economy and i've read just now that the e.c.b. house grounds the government's plan to inject twenty four billion dollars into the troubling bank is the biggest biggest bank in spades without certainly a concern now we'll see how all of this is playing into the common currency now is actually causing the u.s. dollar to claw even that says investors avoid a whisky asset so let's see the exchange rates and shall way now as i say investors

are avoiding the risky assets and that is increasing worries over the fallout from the european debt crisis we've got the year i was sliding as well that we take a look at those huge change rates that we know. we've got the euro sliding below that one twenty five level we've also got the ruble as well how's that move much as we spent the last hour is still losing the i guess the u.s. dollar and the euro that check out. the russian market that pulling them from the asian markets and there was the news coming out of china today that they will not be injecting a massive amount of cash into the system starts bleeding into the russian markets today we've got negative figures right there one point four percent for the. one point seven percent for the mice xcel there was hope that china would be pumping in some cash into the system like they did back in two thousand and eight in the financial crisis but we've had reports saying that that is now not going to happen

ok let's get into the stores and see how they're performing the energy wages are under pressure and that's because of we could crude prices go up gas lose in six tenths of the call around the russia's biggest lead the spread is also down around six tenths of a percent as well since receiving going on just that now it's first quarter net profit rose six percent is the surprise it is down during this hour now let's talk more about spare bank shall wait now in two thousand and eleven. just over a percent of its profits on the international markets are they now plan to make it five percent in the next two years now they're going to stop doing this by the purchase of six largest bank the biggest one is called dead need spag now we spoke to the head of a bank in grafton he spent just about the deals have of this. it's a high quality but it won't come cheap with taking advantage of the moment clearly banking assets are not too expensive it would have never sold this bank if not for

the current turbulence. moving over see how the asian markets look to set to finish the day they're coming to the edge of a idea going to be finishing on the back foot so what they care about the returns of dissent. edging towards two percent so that close to put it into perspective for you the chinese economy is expected eight point two percent this year now that sounds good as you probably enviable isn't it really when you consider the european figures but that is actually the slowest pace since nineteen ninety nine so it's not enough i get it so ok let's talk about oil shall we say that the prices are indeed draw paying a massive adding to the pressure here in moscow for the markets we've got a light ninety dollars of our brant one hundred six ok so looking about the russian markets and us more interesting stories for you now over the next two decades russia the countries oh that's all the time for too much societies for. over the

next two decades russia and the countries in the middle east could jointly lose ten percent of the world markets. there is a national energy agency says this is likely to happen in case of potential boom in shell and other conventional unconventional gas construction mostly in the united states and china but the possible change will not significantly affect gas output in europe which is the main consumer of russian gas there i says the continent strict eco standards make it difficult to develop any harmful gas production. so we've got time for any subject about fifteen minutes all right thanks for the short break and i'll be back with the headline and stay with archie.
