:01:39. > :01:43.Foreign Secretary, William Hague, after reports of a fresh massacre
:01:43. > :01:46.of civilians. Activists in the country say 13 factory workers have
:01:46. > :01:49.been shot dead by a pro-government militia. The United Nations is now
:01:49. > :01:53.pressing for a full investigation into last week's massacre of more
:01:53. > :01:56.than 100 civilians in the town of Houla. They've said it could amount
:01:56. > :01:59.to "crimes against humanity". But, as Bridget Kendall reports, there's
:01:59. > :02:08.frustration at the latest diplomatic efforts to stop the
:02:09. > :02:13.conflict. More disturbing images from Syria
:02:13. > :02:17.posted on the internet by opposition activists. Factory
:02:17. > :02:20.workers forced off a bus and murdered, they say, by pro-
:02:20. > :02:25.government militias. It is an account that UN observers inside
:02:25. > :02:29.Syria have not yet verified, but they did confirm the massacre last
:02:29. > :02:34.week at Houla, and today the UN Human Rights Council blamed Syria
:02:34. > :02:38.for it, urging an inquiry to investigate possible war crimes.
:02:38. > :02:43.These acts may amount to crimes against humanity and other

:03:07. > :03:16.deliberately to lead to special sessions hostile to Syria, like
:03:16. > :03:24.this one. From several parts of Syria today there has been amateur
:03:24. > :03:28.videos suggesting renewed shelling. Here in Homs. And around Houla,
:03:28. > :03:35.where the massacre was. One activist from Houla told us what
:03:35. > :03:41.being under siege felt like. It was such a horrible thing. You feel
:03:41. > :03:47.like an earthquake under you. When the bomb fell, you feel like an
:03:47. > :03:53.earthquake and you. Not much left of the UN's ceasefire. No wonder
:03:53. > :03:56.Kofi Annan is despondent. We are all frustrated by the violence, by
:03:56. > :04:02.the killings. So am I. I think perhaps I am more frustrated than

:04:17. > :04:20.great danger of a collapse in Syria. So what can the outside world do
:04:21. > :04:25.about it? Well, it is clear that Syria is unlikely to turn into
:04:25. > :04:29.another Libya, involving Western military action. In the first place,
:04:29. > :04:33.Russia would probably Blunkett at the UN Security Council. But even
:04:33. > :04:38.without Russia, there is no appetite for intervention. --
:04:38. > :04:41.Russia would probably block it. Syria is well-armed and an all-out
:04:41. > :04:45.war would soon involve its neighbours. And Western powers are
:04:45. > :04:48.distracted, the United States with a presidential election and
:04:48. > :04:52.Europeans with the euro crisis, and all of them worried about
:04:52. > :04:58.withdrawing from Afghanistan. In Paris, President Putin was digging
:04:58. > :05:02.in his heels. He refused to consider sanctions on Syria and
:05:02. > :05:06.pointed out that opposition fighters are also killing people.
:05:06. > :05:11.And the UN peace plan, he says, is still worth backing.
:05:11. > :05:15.Bridget joins me in the studio. Why is Russia so reluctant to join in
:05:15. > :05:18.the effort to find a solution? is complicated. It does feel a
:05:19. > :05:22.little bit as though President Putin and Russia want it both ways.
:05:22. > :05:26.They want to say on the one hand that they are not taking sides,
:05:26. > :05:31.that they are trying to be even- handed and point out violence on
:05:31. > :05:35.both sides. And they are not necessarily backing President Assad,
:05:35. > :05:39.just trying to stop the violence. But it does also feel as though
:05:39. > :05:43.Russia is digging in its heels and refusing, today for example, at the
:05:43. > :05:47.UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, to condemn the Government for what
:05:47. > :05:50.the UN said was responsibility for a massacre. Western governments are
:05:50. > :05:55.waiting for a moment when they hope Russia might begin to move, as it
:05:55. > :05:59.did on Libya, away from support for the government in Damascus, and to
:05:59. > :06:03.a U-turn and say, it is time for him to go. The problem is that,
:06:03. > :06:08.just as for the West, Syria is not like Libya. They do not want to
:06:08. > :06:12.intervene in this one. It is far too complicated. For Russia, also,
:06:12. > :06:17.it is complicated. They see that President Assad is entrenched. He
:06:17. > :06:21.is a long-term alliance of Russia, and they are not going to change
:06:21. > :06:25.their mind on Syria just because there is an opposition and there is
:06:25. > :06:28.violence on the ground. The danger is that this split, this difference
:06:28. > :06:33.of opinion in the international community, is going to carry on for
:06:33. > :06:37.a long time, just as the violence on the ground in Syria is going to
:06:37. > :06:40.carry on a very long time. So there is not any sign of diplomatic
:06:40. > :06:43.pressure coming together on the outside that could help to move the
:06:43. > :06:47.peace plan forwards. Gloomy economic figures from both
:06:47. > :06:49.sides of the Atlantic led to sharp falls on world markets today. In
:06:49. > :06:53.the US, unemployment rose unexpectedly, leading to fears that
:06:53. > :06:56.the economic recovery there could be grinding to a halt. There was
:06:56. > :06:59.more bad news in the eurozone, and in the UK a survey suggests
:06:59. > :07:08.manufacturing is shrinking at its fastest rate for three years. Hugh
:07:08. > :07:12.Pym reports. It was another nerve-jangling day
:07:12. > :07:15.for traders on world financial markets. A raft of new data
:07:15. > :07:21.suggested some leading economies were faltering, with the biggest of
:07:21. > :07:25.them all, the US, raising the most concerns. The American President,
:07:25. > :07:28.out on the campaign trail, acknowledged that the first
:07:28. > :07:33.increase in unemployment for nearly a year suggested that all was not
:07:34. > :07:39.well with the economy. businesses have created almost 4.3
:07:39. > :07:42.million new jobs over the last 27 months, but, as we learned in
:07:42. > :07:48.today's jobs report, we are still not creating them as fast as we
:07:48. > :07:56.want. Just like at this time last year, our economy is still facing
:07:56. > :08:00.some serious head wins. -- headwind. As Wall Street dealers digested the
:08:00. > :08:04.implications, hopes that a robust United States would pull the global
:08:04. > :08:09.economy forward were dented. This should be some source of concern
:08:09. > :08:14.for US trading partners. The largest economy in the world does
:08:14. > :08:18.appear to be slowing down, so it raises some risks. At the same time,
:08:18. > :08:22.the US consumer does seem to be holding in pretty well. World
:08:23. > :08:27.markets chose to focus on the negatives. On Wall Street, the Dow
:08:28. > :08:33.Jones closed down more than 2%. The main German index was nearly 3.5%
:08:33. > :08:37.lower and London's leading shares fell more than 1% on the day. The
:08:37. > :08:41.market mood in the UK had been soured earlier by a gloomy
:08:41. > :08:44.manufacturing survey, the worst of its kind in three years, raising
:08:44. > :08:47.fears that the recession could prove deeper than expected. The
:08:47. > :08:52.latest economic news is likely to fuel the debate over whether the
:08:52. > :08:55.Government is doing enough to boost growth. The pressure on ministers
:08:55. > :09:01.both at Westminster and further afield to justify existing policies,
:09:01. > :09:06.or, with new ones, seems set to intensify. -- or to come up with
:09:06. > :09:09.new ones. The Government's response should be to steer away from the
:09:09. > :09:13.iceberg rather than rearrange the deckchairs on the Titanic. In the
:09:13. > :09:16.Queen's Speech, we saw one pro- business piece of legislation and
:09:16. > :09:20.several anti-business piece of legislation and a range of things
:09:20. > :09:23.that were nothing to do with stimulating the economy.

:09:42. > :09:45.voted in favour of a controversial EU treaty that imposes austerity in
:09:45. > :09:55.return for access to emergency funding. 60% backed the plan, which
:09:55. > :09:59.
:09:59. > :10:03.is aimed at enforcing budgetary discipline in eurozone countries.
:10:03. > :10:08.The posters testify to a hard- fought campaign. A vote in favour
:10:08. > :10:13.of the pact was described as a vote for stability, but the No campaign
:10:13. > :10:21.had said the pact just ushered in more austerity. In the event, 60%
:10:21. > :10:26.voted Yes. The majority of votes in favour of the proposal, 326,003.
:10:26. > :10:31.The Yes campaign went to celebrate and then stopped themselves. Tough
:10:31. > :10:34.economic challenges lie ahead. So what is the new Fiscal Treaty? It
:10:34. > :10:39.imposes strict discipline over budgets and deficits. There will be
:10:39. > :10:44.penalties if the rules are broken. And agreeing to the treaty
:10:44. > :10:48.guarantees access to the new eurozone bail out fund. The Irish
:10:48. > :10:54.leader, Enda Kenny, said that good housekeeping rules would benefit
:10:54. > :10:58.Europe. It will also send out a message to other cities around the
:10:58. > :11:02.world which have not been expressing full confidence in the
:11:02. > :11:05.euro and the eurozone. We believe in this process. The Irish
:11:05. > :11:11.government will now try to push Europe's leaders into reducing the
:11:11. > :11:15.cost of the bail out for the country's bust banks. In some
:11:16. > :11:19.places it was clear that many people had voted Yes to keep a
:11:19. > :11:24.European safety net. We have a lovely calm sea behind us, but the
:11:24. > :11:26.sea can be rough. For the business community, this could be a lifeboat
:11:27. > :11:32.for the future of our government and for the future of our
:11:32. > :11:37.businesses. One in 10 mortgages are in arrears and house prices are
:11:37. > :11:42.down 50%. Most of the No vote came from those affected by austerity
:11:42. > :11:46.and spending cuts. I think we saw a huge amount of anger and protest in
:11:46. > :11:49.the No vote in working-class areas against the austerity agenda. The
:11:49. > :11:53.other sectors of the population are giving the government and Europe
:11:53. > :11:57.one more chance. The result was welcomed by the German Chancellor,
:11:57. > :12:00.Angela Merkel, as good for Ireland and good for Europe. She will hope

:12:54. > :12:59.people have been making final plans for street parties to celebrate the

:15:14. > :15:18.course, not everybody will be cheering this weekend. Republicans
:15:18. > :15:22.believe the Jubilee is misconceived. 60 years on the throne is not an
