emergency was imposed a group of hardline communist officials would have to to seize power to prevent reforms that eventually led to the breakup of the soviet union but as long as he's on bad reports despite the dramatic events unfolding in the capital many were being kept in the cell. 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 tank crews themselves. we were 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. soviet leader mikhail gorbachev had been shot in his holiday home in the crimea

a state committee on the state of emergency declared itself and charge it was made up of high ranking communist party officials including the head of the k.g.b. sharp's vice president and the defense minister they were terrified that gorbachev democratic 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. it was an act of treason on the part of goo but your finance in and out right treason they were going to ruin our country. in a press conference later that day they said the call the trough 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 what has since become my office says

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 tell me do you realize that you've conducted a critical they look pretty i. very convincing. just got mad. meanwhile on the streets the russian supremes soviet building the white house had become the center of resistance to the coup boris yeltsin the president of the russian part of the u.s.s.r. had convinced some of the tank rooms just which sons people flocked to join him and among the talks written. yeltsin tells you that was a yes of in your command are traitors and enemies whose always will be as night fell on the twentieth of august the curfew ordered by the cool denies is raised

disaster as russia's communist party believes cool are going to rise as well right in their attempt to save the empire. and others aren't even aware the u.s. is all gone think it's still a threat to the u.s. at least that's what republican presidential candidate michele bachmann believes find out why. international pressure is mounting on the syrian leader with the u.s. and the e.u. in him to step down in the wake of the violent crime down on protesters but russia hasn't got the call reporter the same president should be given time to implement his promised reforms with a set of fresh economic sanctions have also been imposed on syria by washington in response to the government's action let's cross live now to damascus well the national is that maria it seems some countries are losing their patience with syria but how grave is the situation on the grounds. well alice the situation here on the

ground in syria is actually not so simple the international community has condemned the syrian government for breath told blood the suppression of pro-democratic and to government protesters started here in march tanks troops were moved into cities activists are saying that some of them were massacred by the troops while human rights activists are saying that over two thousand people died since president assad began its crackdown meanwhile the syrian government has all the time been saying has all the time been retracing that it's actually been fighting against armed groups extremists operating across syria trying to just to belies a situation here on the ground trying to terrorize. people anyway the call from the u.s. and the e.u. for the syrian president to step down as day after assad announced that the

military operation here in syria is over and promised more reforms and we actually could witness the army with throw in from cities although at the same time we are receiving reports from protesters. from across the country that the army is still slow staying in the cities and even from time to time. but i have to emphasize and this is very important that we cannot verify this nation this is very hard to very far because we're not allowed to move freely across the country without allowed to work freely here and right now we're not actually allowed to leave the mask so these reports cannot be very far and we're most a safe. from supporting the call from the u.s. in the eve of president assad to resign what does it have to sell me actually. although we haven't heard anything definite just to add officials russian officials

have been quoted as saying syria needs reform and deep change is necessary but president assad needs time and he has to be provided with this time to all feel his promises russia even sat. like his name exact time one or two months at least are needed all that moscow things that our side is moving towards right direction and assad has earned trust with what he's already done his release political prisoners repealed an emergency law that was in force since nineteen sixty three for more than four decades he's paid expressed readiness to allow more political parties and elections in the country and now apparently talk to police and military operations against the least opposition and russian believes that external pressure would only did tearing things here in syria and but

transitions in the democratic side but at the same time russia says that if. he doesn't keep his promises in that case international community has to react ok rare phenomenon live from damascus thank you for that update. now some other world news in brief this hour and a blast in a mosque in pakistan has killed at least forty people and wounded more than eighty five during friday prayers a bomb exploded in the tribal region where hundreds of people were attending the religious session no groups going responsibility for the bombing but it's being blamed on taliban and al qaeda linked insurgency hides in the region over four thousand five hundred people have been killed by militant networks since two thousand and seven. a series of suicide explosions that hit the afghan capital near a compound run by the british government at least ten people were killed. gunfire was heard at the scene and witnesses said smoke was rising from the area officials

the lookout for the prehistoric monster while local authorities have promised over three thousand dollars a person can catch the creature from the deep garbage graver explores the dangers nothing like this has ever happened before russia has never seen a shark attack let alone two in two days this sixteen year old boy was diving one hundred meters off shore when it appeared the young man's wet suit service protection and saved him from vest with both his legs were severely wounded. and shocked. but it was time. to do. firstly. only a day earlier a twenty five year old man lost his forearms trying to defend his wife when the couple was saved witnesses not shocked at what they saw but i would just get rid of them it was really scary a countryman described it as the man's hands were chewed off and the boat was still

loading your will the attacks happened in the far east and from all your region that shares a border with north korea it is known for its beaches and clean 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 only. this type of shock really comes to our waters and species that lives are probably orders of the ocean but with global warming they're now starting to read more and more to the north out of roughly three hundred sixty species of sharks just over thirty are known to be juristic 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 point two metres can cause serious injuries especially if there's food of blood in the water 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 out r.t. moscow nervous guys around moscow have been even busier than usual this week with a max international air space in flying machines performing all kinds of gravity defying stunts as easy going to the north is their. there are sounds of jet engines and propellers in the skies and scores of various aircraft on the ground so what does all this mean we must a thousandth of an air show has opened its doors to the public a previous couple of days or was primarily open to official and business delegations thinking out those billion dollar contracts with some big names of civil and military aircraft producers over the world but now everyone can enjoy these machines for their own eyes right here at the mosque two thousand and eleven

there's a lots in store for everyone to watch here at the air show we've already seen some stunning performances by the russian knights swifts and falcons we're expecting more from them there's also a great variety of various helicopters for those heavy lowers out there including this the fifty two alligator one of the latest built here in russia this is really a true green mean war machine if you notice it has a unique. rotor system which gives it extreme whenever ability that is definitely going to be one of the biggest air show seen this machine in the skies with the pilots showing off their skills but probably the biggest highlight of this year's mox air show is deal latest russia's top secret self fighter jet code named the t fifty yards even though school found out why this plane is no such

strategic importance namely have heard about it until now only a select few had seen it with their own eyes to admission pounds eighty fifty is known as cock this is if he is still being developed some 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 air show visitors get it sure chance to see this. inflight the first ever public display for pot but the jet is being developed by the sukhoi design bureau under the watchful eyes of the united aircraft corporation and the entire project is shrouded in mystery in fact were presented to the corporation say the project is so secret they can't even talk on camera about it so it never gave us the united states and russia are the only true countries in the world that have a technological potential to implement

a large scale national project for the development of a fifth generation jet fighter. of russia is demonstrating the two models at this year's max air show is strong evidence for addressing a vision which is in a very good state. 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 raiders and will be able to cruise at supersonic speed but most of the guesswork boils down to this when he developed the russian fiction aeration fighter will give the americans after twenty two and f. thirty five a run for their money in terms of stealth capabilities maneuverability and cost smaller than yours 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 fly safely at low near zero speeds it's safe even with a fly still first of the data environment and

a clock is also news that the fire provides intelligence support to the pilots on board the jets are supposed to be open to vote 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 nose carty she called ski a region. where throughout the weekend for the best of this year's max and coverage. for a. future flight. or

to try. to. head out through the news this is our business on the way now with purina. hello and welcome to business here i would say we are of course start with the markets which plunged into another round of the lots of that so with fears of an underlying double dip the sentiment was spurred by a bouquet of negative data from europe and the u.s. and there are some forces were no extraction they are also extend the losses from the previous session prices that are going on because all the details for us. the russian stock markets open today in the red zone and continue to dive dying down but i guess it was a surprise to anyone as russia's blue chips i went down quickly yesterday with spared bank losing six point three percent gas from going down as well and of course russian markets are being dragged down by by what's happening in the european markets some experts however say there is

a silver lining to the bullets it was you know european stock market that is the fact that oil and gas prices will go down and inflation will be lowered but of course this ban it causes investors withdraw their money from emerging economies russian economy as well and of course that makes r.t.s. and my six go down but the question that experts advising right now is this whether it's time to panic whether what we're witnessing right now is similar to what happens in two thousand and eight well if you look at the r.t.s. as my six the tendency is to clear the indexes are going down to spike to several that scout balances that we're seeing but it's at the same time if you take a look at the big picture the lowest points r.t.s. has reached in the book here in two thousand and eight in the vendor two thousand and eight was just over six hundred points and right now the index is still two point five times more than that so perhaps it's not just the times about it.

analysts like to look at the markets in the latest figures in europe they are tracking losses in asia and we're seeing a sell off the footsie is trading below five thousand while the turn backs as out its lowest point since two thousand the noise is scrupulous in is the crime in some point three percent this hour and that's after a proven investment to expand a coal mine in colombia let's move on to the markets here in russia there are trading in the guts of territory extended thursdays losses the r.c.a.'s as down three and three quarters of a sense and my search has now reached four percent and there's a slow. the market movers on the my sex other two majors are among the worst performers with gas palm down more than four percent new all banking stocks are also in the pressure with burbank n.v. to be losing almost six percent this hour over in asia bourses met heavy losses as well following a sharp sell off in the u.s. exporters were among the worst performers on than they play with them down two

point six percent and citizen over four percent in the red car makers were no exception honda shadow around three percent meanwhile energy stocks were with their worst heads in hong kong with petro china down around four percent so let's take a look at oil prices and we see there that they are consuming units of fall after an almost six percent decline on thursday concerns about global economic recovery are weighing on crude the weaker dollar is given some supports blights when it's below eighty dollars per barrel of all brands has fallen to one hundred six dollars a barrel and a quick look now at some precious metals gold this fretting out a new record high level as uncertainty about the global economy is pushing investors back to safe havens this small price is now at above one thousand eight hundred and sixty actually a potion eight hundred seventy and silver is also off its game in almost four and
