meanwhile a u.n. humanitarian team is you and they've asked us on saturday to assess the situation on the ground syria has said that army operations against protesters have ended well something that's yet to be independently. there are five human rights groups say over two thousand people have been killed since march with president assad brain of the unrest on insurgents political analyst starter walid pharez if the syrian president discoursed out by military invasion the situation in the country could follow the libyan scenario it all depends on how president assad quit that power of his own will if he decides to leave like bin ali or quit like mubarak then you going to have a process but even that process is not going to be easy because the international committee doesn't know much about the internal mechanisms of syria. that was open so if he quit on his own which would be the best option for the international community there should be a u.n. sponsored initiative inside syria but if you quit as

a result of being militarily defeated which is the less required the less accepted wanted. there will be a battle and you would lose that battle then at this point in time one can look at other cases in libya for example or what's happened today in yemen and these are the dramatic solutions and i hope that the syrian situation is not go into that direction. now on august nineteenth twenty years ago muscovites had tanks rolling past their windows as a state of emergency was imposed a group of hardline communist officials attempted to seize power to prevent reforms that eventually led to the breakup of the soviet union as arkenstone barton reports despite dramatic events unfolding in the capital maybe you are being kept in the dark. if you turned on your t.v. set in moscow on the morning of the nineteenth of all this nine hundred ninety one this is what you would have seen tchaikovsky's swan lake why are so many muscovites

because on the streets this is what was really happening. there was confusion and panic even among the tent crews themselves. who ordered to march towards moscow i thought i'd figured out when i get there as we weren't given any information as to what was happening with your soviet leader mikhail gorbachev had been shot in his holiday home in the crimea a state committee on the state of emergency declared itself in charge it was made up of high ranking communist party officials including the head of the k.g.b. . rice president and the defense minister they were terrified that corporate office stenographic reforms and the union treaty due to be signed on the twentieth of august would give so much power away from the center to the soviet republics it would destroy the soviet union. but it was an act of treason on the part of good

which often yeltsin in this circle outright treason they were going to ruin our country. in a press conference later that day they said that gorbachev was ill and that they would take over in his absence but their show wasn't convincing on the nineteenth of august vice president kennedy and naive on the other members of the emergency committee sat in this very spot in water since become my offices as he delivered his statement the assembled journalists noticed that his hands were shaking then one twenty four year old journalist blew his official words right out of the water . bottle can you do you realize that you've conducted a quit it can't they work pretty. very convincing. just man. meanwhile on the streets the russian supremes soviet building the white

it was really scary a country even describe it the man's hands were chewed off and the boat was full of blood. but your marks were all over his body doctors say they'd seen people after the bear and tiger attacks but this is the first time they've dealt with sharks some of president lincoln does recall finding the shark he saw a big fish with films about two metres long and thought in the sea and as it drags into the ocean floor twice. we have tax happened in the far east imprint more your region that shares a border with north korea it is known for its beaches and clear water and swimming here has always been safe dangerous sharks don't usually go that far north in the sea of japan scientists believe the predator was a white shark a man eater and are trying to work out what it was doing here. this type of shock really comes to our waters is a species that lives in tropical and subtropical waters of the ocean but with global warming they're now starting to move more and more to the law out of roughly

three hundred sixty species of sharks just over thirty are known to be tedious to humans the rest are either too small on live t.v. but most experts agree that any shark with sharp enough teeth and longer than one. one thousand metres can cause serious injuries especially if there's food in the water however 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 an once and visits charitable work humans who fished out the sharks food supply and who them in later on leftovers overboard and statistics show that they were than one person per year on average it's killed by shark worldwide but in response we humans killed 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 gary

r.t. moscow. let's now look at some other world news in brief this hour twenty explosions of hippie afghan capital near a compound run by the british government at least three people were killed after a suicide bomber detonated a car laden with explosives in kabul gunfire was heard at the scene and witnesses said smoke was rising from the area officials say the british council was the target of the attacks and the taliban claimed responsibility. for israel's military says five rockets fired by militants from gaza have landed in the south of the country it comes after the jewish state carried out airstrikes over the strip following a series of deadly attacks six gazans were reportedly killed including a child well a dozen receptive you've moved it earlier israeli officials promise a strong response after assaults on a vehicles near egypt's border left seven dead blame was pointed at gaza militants

until now only a select few had seen it with their own eyes to have a chapin's the teeth fifty is known as the city is still being developed so most of us technical specifications are top secret in fact as close as we can get to the real thing is this model right here the tournaments there still visitors get it sure we can you just to see the judge in flight the first ever thought the display for god 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 representatives of the corporation say the project is so secret they can't even talk on camera about it so we're going to 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 is demonstrating two models of

this year's max there still is strong evidence that russian invasion with 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 craters and will be able to cruise at supersonic speed but most of the guesswork boils down to this when highly developed the russian fifth generation fighter will give the american after twenty two and f. thirty five a run for their money in terms of stealth capabilities maneuverability and cost some other thing is that of 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 it flies safely at low near zero speeds it's safe even want to fly still first but their environment in the cockpit is also near the fire provides intelligence. or to the pilots or to

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 in the middle school r.t. ski school region. of the state of r t throughout the week out for the best of this year's max airflow coverage. for a. future flights. are to change to the mark air show. and a few moments you can watch for a special report on the events that took place in the russian capital twenty years
