their daddy bush a report saying after brussels now in asia this iteration doesn't look any better as the stocks there are closed in the red the deputy director for the center for international monetary research believes asia should safeguard itself from exposure to the troubles in the us and the year i saying. singhalese emotion of pentagon sort of it will last for a while like a lot of people already involved in the circuit the d.v.r. serving the recession all for us are you calling me as well as news on the euro being called an economical corporation future in china and the young contras a peculiar day in the korea china area are we china's become of really important good song and. dependence of all these. ideas on chinese girls so i think in the future asian countries we all coordinate on the coordinates of a very closely to a safeguards there you colonies and then there you rest them in the from outside

energy and banking stocks gazprom and other oil companies trading losses rawson have to over four percent banks are also down so we're going to look at the figures in our business bulletin very shortly. still ahead this hour for to change we go back or now the course of the soviet union took a major turn twenty years ago this day after an attempt to overthrow the government with staged on the streets of moscow. russia has refused to back up a call made by the u.s. and the e.u. urging syria's leader to step down in the wake of the violent crime down on protesters because a woman was released just a day after barack obama imposed a fresh set of economic sanctions on the country let's cross live to damascus now r.t. the national standing by for us real why is russia betting on syria to solve this problem independently well it's russia's position has always been clear serious

stuff in it these reforms these changes are definitely needed are required in this country both president assad needs time to do that and he has to be provided with this time russia at least one and two months more that president bush. has trust with what he's already done he's relieved the political prisoners that he's killed emergency law that was in force for nearly five decades since nine hundred sixty three expressed his readiness to allow more political parties and elections in this country and russia believes that external pressure on president bashar assad could only deteriorate things here on the ground and could hamper our transition to democratic states so russia's position is to give assad a chance to prove itself at the same time russia has all the time been retreating

that eve present our side doesn't keep his promises in that case the international community should react let's listen and listen to what the officials are saying. the syrian leadership needs time to implement its reform program put significant steps towards that have already been taken in the state of emergency has been lifted the higher court of state security was abolished the decree allowing citizens from peaceful demonstrations was accepted the syrians should negotiate not fight and the opposition not as well as the regime is responsible for making that happen. but. i have to say that rush is the legation is due in her masters very soon on saturday we expect them here tomorrow to try to find out exactly what is going on here on the ground and to see how assad is fulfilling his promises. or it seems that the west is really nice and patience

found with syria but hell grave is the situation on the ground you've been in syria for quite some time now what's the mood. well the situation on the ground here in syria is very complicated and i have to emphasize that the call from the u.s. and e.u. for the syrian president is top down comes just day actually even less than a day just hours after president bashar assad has announced that the military operation here in syria is over and had promised for more reforms just a few words about what's this military operation since the beginning of the conflict here in syria this march syrian soldiers and tanks have been sent to many major syrian cities across the country as the regime opponents have been saying to a silent peaceful protests in the uk you see anti-government demonstrators and as the syrian government has been saying to fight against armed groups operating

across syria trying to just a belies the situation here on the ground terrorizing. people and on tuesday the last troops were thrown from the western coast of the city of latakia and from the store in the east of the country near the iraqi border actually we have been to this last one there is a sword and we've witnessed the army with throw we've seen at least thirty tanks live in the city and inside the city we haven't seen an industry last police has returned to duty meanwhile we are receiving reports and the run media reports. based on information received from protesters and local residents that's the army is still. on the ground in latakia and even the reports that. the soldiers are firing from type to time to peaceful demonstrators but i have to

emphasize and this is very important to these reports are very hard to verify because of international journalists are not allowed to move freely here in the country as the syrian government because it's dangerous. so these reports are very hard to vary by also i have to say that we have been able to speak to one of the opposition leaders here in damascus and he has sad situation is very hard very difficult but not hopeless because people are in the past saying people needs reform reforms they want reforms but they have patience and they are ready to wait because they've been waiting for more than thirty decades now and they're ready to wait a little bit more but of course not too much. many parties griffen are talking to us from the heart of the uprising torn state there. now with r.t. still to come why the sky's the limit at the international air show

a. stunning performances going aerobatics teams from across the world scores of aircraft what does all this mean the markets just hours in eleven has opened its doors to the public watch our report later in the program. there's horror on the beaches of russia's far east as the hundred guineas for the sharks moved to young men in the space of just two dates. it's twenty years ago to the day since eight communist hardliners staged a coup to overthrow mikhail gorbachev then president of the soviet union but while the coup failed to topple the government it's widely seen as a pivotal factor in the u.s. and sells eventual collapse. takes a look now at how it changed the course of soviet history. if you turned on your t.v.

set in moscow on the morning of the nineteenth of august ninety 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 and charge it was made up of high ranking communist party officials including the head of the k.g.b. . vice president and the defense minister they were terrified that gorbachev's 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 good which often yields in an endless circle out right 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 i have on the other members of the emergency committee sat in this very spot and want to 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 but tell me do you realize that you have conducted a critical they look pretty. 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 crews to switch sides people flocked to join him and demand the talks return. if yeltsin tells you that baldly as of your command are traitors and enemies who's always will be as night fell on the twentieth of august the curfew ordered by the cool denies is raised fears of an assault on the white house when armored vehicles began moving through the rotunda of the night protesters disillusioned with the communist party rose up to defend their hopes of democracy. of kamaz son dimitriy was killed in one word police and out onto the road by his friends legitimate tried to drag him away modern machine rode over my

sons had and killed lead to marriage wow. the coup had failed and what's more it destroyed trust in the communist party which was then russia and november ninety ninety one by the end of the year the very system they sought to people live the soviet union had ceased to exist dumbarton r.t. . well despite the fact that happened twenty years ago there are still some people out there who want a wealth of us donal's is no more a log on solitude home for all the details i want to find out how some of them are incredibly high places republican wrote that i'm told gambit michele bachmann believes that the u.s.s.r. still exists and did need to pose a threat to the u.s. . also online the president hugo chavez wants to bring back all the exalted venezuelan golds above the country to protect it from financial turmoil learn the possible consequences of that action.

to some world news in prefer this hour hour and at least forty people have been killed in a hundred were injured when a bomb exploded at a mosque in local labor region in northwest pakistan witnesses report a teenage boy detonating a device during traditional friday prayers many of the injured are in a serious condition no group has admitted responsibility yet bar taliban and al qaeda militants are active in the breach or. twin suicide blasts have rocked the afghan capital kabul close to a compound run by the british government the explosion set of a five hour long gun battle between security forces and insurgents with at least ten people killed the taliban which has claimed responsibility says it was marking

the anniversary of afghanistan's independence from the u.k. president hamid karzai made no mention of the attacks a jury events some. reality of his people and move the country towards a better future. the israeli military says the rockets launched i promise the militants have hit southern israel. injuring as several people the attacks were a response to the latest air strides carried out by israel over the gaza strip which reportedly left seven people dead including a senior militant leader israel was told of the sites used by the palestinian popular resistance committee which they blame for research that killed eight israelis although the p.r.c. has denied any and all those. other classic horror movie jaws has become a reality in russia's far east which has been terrorized by a marine predator a cash rewards been offered by the local authorities for the capture of a shock that savage two people are to establish caves health stories of the victims

who are lucky to be alive. nothing like this has ever happened here before russia has never seen a shark attack let alone two in two days this sixteen year old boy was diving one hundred meters offshore when it appeared the young man's wet suit service protection and saved him from best with both his legs were severely wounded. shot. but it was time. to do. firstly. only d l e a twenty five year old man lost his forearms trying to defend his wife when the couple was saved witnesses are shocked at what they saw but i would ask the really it was really scary a country even describe it the man's hands were true at all and the boat was full of blood. the attacks happened in the far east and family 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 all trying to work out what he was doing here. the stable sure grow it comes to what it is it's a species that lives in trouble gould's a probable waters of the ocean but with global warming they're now starting to move more and more to the north out of roughly three hundred sixty spaces of sharks just over thirty are known to be dangerous to humans the rest are either too small of that but most experts agree that any shark with shopped enough teeth and longer than one point two leaders can cause serious injuries especially if there's food 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 over

r.t. moscow. moscow's biennial international air show continues to thor opening its doors to thousands of new spectators on friday some of the most spectacular aerobatic displays are still ahead at lax twenty eleven before the show closes in just two days time and it's not just about entertainment many major contracts are being signed as well you cannot is there for us. there are sounds of jet ten propeller engines in the skies scores of various types of aircraft on the ground it means the musters thousand and eleven air show has opened its doors to the public the first two days it's function mainly for official and business delegations inking out those billion dollar contracts with some of the biggest names in civil and military aircraft producers from across the world but now or do you people can see and even touch some of these planes themselves and

there's a huge variety of them from old ones for example this plane is from the times before the second world war just some of the most advanced ones like the airbus a three eighty jumbo jet all eyes are on the skies there's a huge program in store for all the visitors seen stunning performances by aerobatics teams from across the world including the russian knights swifts and falcons we're expecting more from them and others in the next few days as well. for those who can't pilot planes but would really want to know just a little bit want to feel like they're on the simulator see here as well for example this one gives an idea of what sort of hardware will be installed on airplanes over the next generation in this case pilots won't even need to look out the window all the needed information about the flight will be displayed in a cockpit it's not clear whether some of this hardware is installed on board or one

of the headliners of the march two thousand and eleven but it's just still top secret generation stealth fighter jets t. fifty and r. g.'s if you know tried to lift the curtain of mystery why know a little bit about this plane. many have heard about it until now only a select few had seen it with their own eyes two ideation fans the t. fifty is known as pack this is if he is suitable. things are valid 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 but during the next airshow visitors get it sure we get a chance to see the jets in flight the first ever public display for cox 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

representatives of the corporation say the project is so secret they can't even talk on camera about it so we get a look at the united states and russia are the only two countries in the world that's technologically potential to implement a large scale national project for the development of a fifth generation jet fighter the fact of russia is demonstrating two models of this year's maps here show as strong evidence that russian evasion of is in a very good state because the jets will reportedly be able to carry out combat duty in any weather at any time of the 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 who developed the russian fifth generation fighter will give america after twenty two an f. thirty five a run for their money in terms of stealth capabilities maneuverability and cost

smarter than his lack 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 noises sort of fly safely at low near zero speeds it's safe even want to fly still first up to date environment in the cockpit is also new the fire 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 those who r.t. kickoff ski school region. well our reporters are on the ground of the ongoing international air show in the mosque a region do stay with on t.v. a full coverage of max twenty eleven as we track the business and aerobatic side of the event all through the weekend later on watch all special report only events

that you pace in the russian capital twenty years ago and change the country's history forever before that day that's got some business news. welcome to our business update this hour and we start with the markets which plunged into another round of volatility with fears of an underlying double dip this sentiment was spurred by a bouquet of negative data from europe and the u. of the u.s. the russian forces are no exception they are extending losses from the previous session and peter weston from. the eyes it's just following the global trends. it's the same as you're seeing on a global scale it's really a market that is now driven by fear. the increasing concern that a state of the global another global recession took a real hold on the markets yesterday and what clients are trying to do is to try to figure out where we go from here because there's so many on sort of factors right now to some extent you can argue that the the current situation is actually more

pakoras than it was in two thousand and seven given that policymakers are running out of options and china has their own problems in trying to sort of cool down their economy and then you have different policy options in europe and u.s. u.s. is probably going to try and stimulate where europe is where there's a lot of certain issues on top of that i think you know little looking forward i mean if you look at what's going to happen in europe over the next couple of months you're going to have about four hundred fifty billion euros to be paid. by your some countries by the before the end of the year two hundred fifty billion of those come due in september and october so i think for those two months we're going to continue seeing this volatility the good news i would say though is that we don't see the same kind of panic selling two thousand and eight. he was staying to make sense from saxo bank related apart from the current volatility process has to pay more attention to its fundamentals. the capital outflow in russia continues to be

there every single day in some way and all the you need to stand out a lot of capital because that is in itself a huge statement that the domestic russians there's some trust their own markets if you look at medium term long term i don't think the all prices is a big issue i think the world growth will come back we see growing signs that asia is now willing to ease monitored policy somewhat which is by by by a long shot the biggest buy a new unit all of these days so all is not an issue with the crisis is having some small intake right now in economic numbers will have a slightly bigger impact going to three months forward but in itself i think the major thing to watch right now is how you stem the outflow of capital you know in russia. and europe the markets are tracking waltzing losses in asia but they're making a bit of a comeback this hour to put see his home most two percent lower while the german dax is down with three percent b.h.p. billiton is declining two point three percent after approving investments takes time to coal mining. towns in moscow the markets are trading in negative territory

extending thursday's losses my stakes in the r.t.s. prostrating just nearly three out of three to satisfactorily oil prices of bottoming out at almost six percent the kind of per se concerns about global economic recovery i weigh in on crude however we can dollar is getting some support and light sweet as trading at a one dollars a barrel by brant is up almost one hundred dollars back. as our business update for this stay with us for headline news up next. it's.
