a great deal of uncertainty which is worrying the markets about the situation of buying so in europe i don't think that i think that will be a result but it may take some time to resolve it that's the problem meanwhile markets are very nervous as well as global finance continues its downward spiral investors are turning to traditional safe havens like gold which will set another all time high the spy plunges on the asian markets their economy still looks more appealing while countries that have been planning to join the euro are now having second thoughts the investment advisor patrick young says europe needs to get its house in order before inviting in any new members. what we've seen in the course of the last number of months i mean actually going over a year or more and has been an increasing number of summits various bail outs every time we end up with this chorus of people telling us that everything's over and we've got frankly our ground opera of the euro that's turning into a farce everybody outside of the european union elite understands that the euro is

people like mr sarkozy mrs merkel and indeed all of those euro zone leaders they need to lead they need to demonstrate leadership and they need to demonstrate strength otherwise the euro is dead. before the latest figures from the world stock markets join our business in about twenty minutes time. social networks have played a pivotal role in the revolutions witness so far this year so much so that the u.s. has thrown its weight and dollars behind what it's calling the democratic instruments to improve the world but critics say while spending millions to promote online freedom abroad washington certainly not doing the same at home as artie's killing four reports. when a wave of revolution crashed over the middle east this spring. many said and it in the streets began with one hundred forty characters or less and

but most experts agree that any shark with sharp enough teeth and longer than one point two metres can cause serious injuries especially if there's food of blood in the water power over the majority of shark experts also agree that the danger from sharks is often exaggerated there are even those who defend the predators saying people themselves are to blame for unwanted visits charitable work humans have fished out the sharks food supply into them him by throwing leftovers overboard but statistics show that he within one person per year on average is killed by a shark worldwide but in response we humans kill more than one hundred million sharks every year. and while scientists are looking for the reasons for these recent attacks the swimming season in the area is over at least for the time being carried over aren't. they well let's have a look at some other world news in brief now twin explosions of hippie afghan

defying stunts and r.t. is there for you. among those stealing the limelight are big names and civilian aviation like growing airbus and be a source of projects with their craft dealers incurring a billion dollar contracts or pilots and their military and specialist helicopters have also been showing their skills alongside aero batek teams like the russian a falcons torn up the skies with stunning traits the russian a stealth fighter the two fifty enjoyed its international debut seen as a rival to america's f. twenty two raptor are these other states which is why the trip is a top priority for the country's aircraft industry. many have heard about it until now only a select few had seen it with their own eyes to ravish and pans and t. fifty is known as pack this is it is still being developed so most of his technical

specifications are top secret in fact as close as we can get to the real thing is this model right here but during the next airshow visitors get it sure we can make chose to see the jets in flight the first ever public display for cars but the jet is being developed by the superior design bureau under the watchful eyes of the united aircraft corporation and the entire project is shrouded in mystery in fact we're presenting tubes of the corporation say the project is so secret they can't even talk on camera about it so it doesn't give us the united states and russia are the only two countries in the world that have the technological potential to implement a large scale national project for the development of a fifth generation jet fighter the fact that russia has demonstrated this years amount sears is strong evidence of russian invasion is in a very good state has the jets will reportedly be able to carry out combat duty in

any weather at any time of day will feature a special coating which will make it less noticeable to anti aircraft breeders and will be able to cruise at supersonic speed. most of the guesswork boils down to this when highly developed the russian generation fighter will give the american after twenty two an f. thirty five a run for their money in terms of stealth capabilities maneuverability and cost smaller than your stack at this being a new generation fighter it's much more comfortable to fly everything was designed with safety in mind it has thrust vectoring engine nozzles so would fly safely at low near zero speeds it's safe even with a fly still first added environment in the cockpit is also new the fighter provides intelligence support to the pilots or that the jets are supposed to be fully developed by two thousand and fifteen it's hoped orders for roughly six hundred jets will follow with one third of that number going to russian air force but until

the final touches to the project are made the only chance to see the hope and pride of russian aviation is a max air show even though sco r.t. he called ski moscow region i'll do stay with r.t. throughout the weekend for the best of this year's max airshow coverage. plans for. closer. shape the future flight. our team takes to the max air show and up next is the business update with maria. hello and welcome to business here all right see you now we start this hour with the global markets which plunged into another round of volatility with fears of an

online double dip recession now the sentiment was spurred by a bouquet of negative data from europe and the u.s. the dow jones lost three point seven percent well they're not that close of a five percent and the ride on thursday meanwhile i usually is taken that that's enough concern let's take a look at the markets in detail right now asian forces move heavy losses following a sharp sell off in the u.s. exporters are among the worst performers on the lake there with ten balancing point six percent and citizen over four percent in the reg carmakers are no exception hong kong all around three percent this hour we will energy stocks are the ones being hit hard in hong kong with perhaps for china down around four percent. here in moscow markets will start the trading day in less than two hours time the nosedive on thursday with the r.t.s. closing almost five percent in the red energy and financial stocks where the wants to suffer the biggest losses during the day

time if you take the sovereign level if you take ability country level so to say. we do see that the level of fiscal reserves the level of forest reserves is somewhat lower compared to two thousand and eight. well that's all the business for now the headlines are that.
