guilt by default confusion and conflicting reports over the cooler 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 in its support for syrian military and suicide bombers apparently being auctioned off to join rebel ranks. and it's crunch time for julio songe as the u.k. toward the paris to pass final judgement on whether the whistleblower should be extradited to sweden over alleged sex crimes. and speculation over reports washington parachuted spies into north korea in signs of fresh wave of

tension and distrust on the korean peninsula. my from our studios in central moscow you're watching r t with me and he said now it's good to have you with us twelve noon here in the russian count but all our top story 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 declaring president also guilty opinion based largely on a number of unverified accounts the situation is further confused by a plethora of witness reports blaming rebel islamist gangs for the smaller parties were important iowa 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 walker contributor to the modern tokyo times news website someone who is closely following the syrian crisis so there's an obvious media bias squatting over atrocities committed by rebels. i don't believe it's a fair judgment because at the moment nobody knows which side did the massacre and the last one of the massacre caught on where we know all the usual new skill to entire families during the same period but the media in all this also use it in

leaves you will service it i went missing at the state and the terrorists have nor military arms this is completely ridiculous it's clearly that an agenda is happening against syria and that's. he and other nations are allowed on being allowed to supply terrorists military arms and basically if a massacre happens where the terrorist acts ignored if the syrian army try to defend the people then they get conned and. 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 to can reports it's not just cash and weapons being smuggled into syria but ideology too. 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 i give the products of my loing as sacred sacrifice his brother is already a martyr yes that is we're going to send him to them but. let's start the bidding two hundred thousand reales 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 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. so how do you lose tonight. 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 if the weapons we will manage that so it's. the gulf countries are not the brains behind this they are merely instruments. the brains. 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 arms and increasing number of suicide bombings make peace in syria virtually impossible and plunges it deeper into chaos 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 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. 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 heart 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 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 arty's crosstalk at eleven thirty am g.m.t. peter lavelle questions whether foreign intervention is a way to bring an end to the vicious civil war in syria can look calls for armed action coming from the us be justified with so much blood already on washington's hands. it would be 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 not even though rerun of libya ok a summary of the way it is

a rerun of iraq go ahead it's a rerun of iraq it's a rerun of iraq post original goal for we do 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 doozie 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 if the syrians or iraq is left to its own. in other news u.s. and south korean special forces have reportedly been parachuting in to north korea to spy on a network of secret underground military installations and that's according to a high ranking american military commander in charge of special operations in the region the pentagon says pyongyang is hiding as many as twenty air bases and vast artillery supplies ready for an iron fist response in the event of

a foreign invasion and experts say that if the claims of spy landings are true it violates existing agreements them only as collate tensions on the peninsula but let's talk now and what gregory park thinks of former australian diplomat based in tokyo thank you for joining us nuclear talks progress stalled after the u.s. accused of breaching existing agreements is it now washington that's actually breaching the terms of the deal if these accusations are true well the sort of things the sort of thing has been going on for some time. or goes along. so that. china. has some of the corruption so i'm not surprised it's. real. it's a constant quest to know exactly what the oversight is up to.

and the timing of this announcement. today coincides with the new u.s. policy. for use. how do you see it that said relations between both sides develop a after the event and after all the build up that we're seeing in the south pacific or in the pacific i think. to come back to. the main course north korea's south korea for a long time so it's not surprising actually. there are actually seven such schools north. so. we shouldn't. change in policy too much but. it's been some mountains from. washington to.

see. if it's. contingent were there to continue jamming the world as. the last fifty years the world has been going through. and you said that the need for spying comes from this constant attempt to know what's happening on the other side. how the necessary is that in terms of north korea i mean how much of a threat are we really looking at well you know where to go. their constant group where they could continue when it's. time. to know the other side is up to where they hope their. forces stationed. and it's unlikely because it encourages them into a confrontation in the. i'm sure you know it's like what's to do to help north

korea's military is you know is part of this spying operation which is and so i'm sure has been going on for a long time. but the u.s. defense secretary panetta recently said that strengthening washington's navy white in the asia pacific should be a top priority we talked about the build up do you think that statement is directly linked in a way to these revelations. well it's a time use you're going to just move you keep quiet about this the sun is part of the effort to put pressure on north korea this is definitely there's been a change in the whole atmosphere. the fact that it was recently up. excuse for breaking off quite significant talks are going on previously. the with very concessions course is constantly in the u.s. north korea. region agreement a concession to discover some reason to not make concessions it's better between

washington and. the pacific. do you see a very clear shift in the service of the military. and it's curious at the same time we have hillary clinton. now saying that the china relationship is the most important in the world. make up their mind war news. right former australian diplomat gregory quark live with us on the line from tokyo we have broadband thank you. now the fate being forecast for another so-called rogue state iran is the topic of our exclusive interview coming up in about fifteen minutes we'll speak to israel's deputy prime minister about the ongoing furor golfing tehran's nuclear program here's a look at what's to come there are things that are against syrian nuclear

capabilities by all players. from the west and other countries probably is on the table for it under the table thing for going or not everything should be made public but i think that the theory is better. it's a very serious matter and the 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 is d.-day for renowned whistleblower giuliano songs as 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 r.t. sara firth looks at the case against him. detained without charge and facing extradition today in a sanchez hello that is a modern day t.c.

wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks that the many at the same people who 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 shot 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 very short time off the record beaks 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 eva 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 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 these judges very little discretion to refuse the warrant now will

lose and julian assange just case could be set to see the lawyer in this area. the outcome of the case could have why didn't play cations the human rights. 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 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 the liberal extradition laws. to fast track to states where he could face really serious charges. correctively of aiding the enemy by the release of the ribbon cable. i think this will send a chilling effect to all ten to whistleblowers that if they do challenge the secrecy and indeed in many cases war crimes are united states they will face retribution and that's bad for democracy it's bad for human rights and is why his many supporters have to unseal the night with no wiki leaks a. terror threat. and i understand we can take a look into our what's happening in london as the world really is wait it was in

washington what the court has to say on their decision of whether or not julian assange will be extradited to sweden there are a lot of fears that if that happens he will be handed over to the u.s. and again he has been under house arrest in the u.k. for over five hundred days without harsh let's listen in for a second judicial authority in the framework decision into court or a judge indeed one minister specifically stated to a parliamentary committee that this was the case but he was mistaken judicial also it is the english translation of the french words. the framework decision is in both english and french so it's necessary to have regard also to what the french phrase means the french phrase has a why demeaning the english phrase in prince of words judicial authority can be used of a public prosecutor. when the member states implement the framework decision many of them appoint to public prosecutors to perform the role of the judicial authority

there was no suggestion that this was concretes the frame up to. having particular regard to this fact the majority of the courts are a great nation on julian the findings actress's mission our correspondents are heard is there and she's like to read it that hillary clinton and the state department team are to visit stock home on june third that of course would be just four days after the decision which we are waiting to hear of whether or not he will be extradited to sweden now the occupy movement is also struggling to be heard something a function said about his situation and having been silenced the movement that is by the police and ridiculed by the mainstream media some of its leaders have joined julian assange on his exclusive interview show here on our chain and they tackled the cornerstone of democracy freedom of speech you can watch that interview 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. 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. it's an intimidation tactic you know essentially. in other news while official unemployment figures for the u.k. are decreasing statistics far from capture the whole picture britain's only economy and the government's eagerness to use austerity are taking their toll on the full time job market laura smith has a story. another day another job search kathy is presentable clever and keen but she still can't get a full time job and. you know some things like small

businesses place and face chronic rape or so on that fear can be more selective now because of ngo jobs or 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 full time vacancy and that has while you do economic implications but taking a big hit. we clean comes out of francs their lifestyles and all 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 markets and that's quite a ruthless place to be and cutting more ruthlessly than needs to be at this particular time meanwhile kathy takes not back off to not back but keeps on hoping they can lighten up the confidence or sink in in moundsville there's all the time but i think. reasons as well as long other copy along with thousands of others will keep chasing every vacancy but in the meantime any job is better than no job at all laura smith altie london. well let's now join cadia for our latest. news here on archie katie russian markets still feeling the burn from china i understand tell us more absolutely the asian markets really set the tone for the markets here mosco today and nice and let me

give you the background on this we had a rally across the global markets and that some earlier this week on the hopes that the massive stimulus spending plan for china was going to come true now we've had reports today showing that the government is unlikely to be injecting that amount of cash and investors were hoping for the same amount that they saw back in two thousand and eight during the financial crisis so investors a demonstration their disapproval and right now go beyond just one point four percent down the mises one point eight percent and negative territory as we gear into the afternoon here mosco also falling prices and all these are then helping out once a tour let's get on to the biggest beaches here more damage to the energy may just suffering as a result of that we got gas from a loophole down there's a buyback plan all the calls for lou call once again i got rushes they can send us but also down despite that profit rising by six percent they are night tens of percent in negative territory at this hour now on an international scale spared by

the largest lender here in russia and yet you may just stand in front of it the hoping to ready for that next year and over the next two years up to five percent i want to make i like made a start to this by having a deal going with the purchase of turkey's six a largest bank which is denny's but you know we spoke to her mcgrath on this they had a spat buy and he told us what he thought of the deal. it's a high quality asset but it one country we're taking advantage of the moment currently banking assets are not expensive it would have never sold this bank if not for the current turbulent. the ruble is still losing out against the basket current. a one twenty five miles to get to european markets and see how they're right. in the wake of the news that spain has been downgraded to junk status as you can see both at the end of the day. we've also had news that

the e.c.b. has scrapped plans for the government to inject twenty four billion dollars in seed banks losing almost see how the oil prices are back at this time as you can see they are indeed declining and that's not helping out not is. not the market to back it up with another updates all right katie thanks for that update we've got an exclusive interview coming up for you here on our team also of course breaking news that julian assange will in fact be extradited to sweden. a decision has just been announced in london and we're trying to get our correspondent who is in the court obviously trying to get out and give us the latest updates there for you here on r t so stay with us for that again breaking news julian the song loses the court battle and will be extradited at least for now to sweden.
