and bring me the top news and headlines from around the world this is r.t. certainly glad to have you with us let's take a look at your top stories russia has refused to back calls from the u.s. and of the e.u. urging syria's leader to step down instead moscow says president assad should be given time to implement promised reforms to end months of the unrest in the country meanwhile in the latest stream of anti-government protests twenty people have reportedly been killed marie financial reports from damascus. russia's position has always been clear steer it definitely needs reforms deve change is definitely needed required in this country but president assad needs time to do that through a display of. remoting democracy or developing agreeable support various things they're rejecting that you look for against real population in the future already

there first of all ever to be confirmed to be fools but on the other hand for the poor to work to be right know by the international community to continue to think pressure on the big picture if you inferior but not pushing you to do a show in a corner just the people of syria will. fall right to determine the people who are the ruling story because you should not be done by any decisions or extra are there in washington or in brussels or in more or russian believes that external pressure on present assad could only deteriorate things here on the ground and could hamper as a transition to democratic state at the same time russia has all the time in reach rating that eve present our side doesn't keep his promises in that case the social

community should react to russia's delegation is due into massacres very soon on saturday to try to find out exactly what is going on here on the ground and to see how assad is full feeling these promises while the situation on the ground he's hearing is very complicated and i have to emphasize that the call from the u.s. and e.u. for the syrian president to step down comes just hours after president bashar assad had announced that the military operation here in syria is over and had promised more reforms we've witnessed the army withdraw. we've seen at least thirty tanks live in this city and inside the city we haven't seen any military laugh at police has returned to duty meanwhile we are receiving reports and the run media reports that based on information received from protesters and local residents that 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 these reports are very hard to verify because international journalists are not allowed to move freely here in the country as the syrian government because it's dangerous the european union is to prepare plans for an embargo on syrian crude oil it's also suspended assistance to damascus by the european investment bank james denselow a middle east analyst based at king's college london says the moves could prove decisive the americans have been very clear they know their influence and ability to change their behavior is limited they've always said that have to reach out to countries who are closer to syria and russia is one such country and a very important country so i think the americans will now and the europeans especially really have to work hard to persuade the russians that they are right on

syria russia is currently wrong for that is the next important step and i think we should focus on one particular element which is really important could go either way syria's oil exports of the present about ninety percent or so syria's oil is exported to europe so the europeans are now come out you know united front against assad does that mean they will no longer accept syrian oil now syrian oil makes up some quarter of syria's hard currency budget so could have a huge amount of an impact on the assad regime its ability to control things so ultimately i do think there is more than rhetoric to what the u.s. and the europeans are saying right now. the final bell on wall street has see is u.s. and e.u. markets and on a low after a volatile week of trading investor confidence has been shaken amid the slow pace of market recovery and european debt this comes as america's three major banks warn of the possibility of a looming global recession artie's marina porton i has more from new york. the bad

forecast the most recent one is coming from morgan stanley and goldman sachs and j.p. morgan chase all three banks in the past day have released reports slashing their expectations for u.s. and global growth now morgan stanley believes that the global economy is hovering close to a recession j.p. morgan chase says the risk of recession has been elevated now this news of course will only cause investors to lose even more confidence and trust in the markets in the u.s. here and around the world we've been seeing that play out with all the volatility hitting the markets around the world and of course the debt crisis in europe is causing great concern for investors all the debt drama and debate that took place here in the u.s. caused a lot of concern and so all of this of course is not easing the mindset of of americans we have to remember unemployment here in the u.s.

is above nine percent nine point one percent one million people lost their homes in two thousand and ten and another million are expected to have their homes foreclosed on this year so if people are not confident in the market every day folks they're not going to spend their money all of this is tied together all of this is systemic and of course the united states being the world's largest economy whatever happens here in the u.s. does affect the world we saw that nearly three years ago in two thousand and eight with the financial crisis and collapse and we saw how it had a ripple domino effect around the world and right now many people are wondering why three years later after all the promises all the stimulus plans all the tax cuts nothing has changed and it is long as there is a lack of confidence or very little trust it's hard to believe and predict that the u.s. economy and the rest of the world's economy is going to bounce back any time soon. artie's marina porno reporting for us there from new york now coming up later in

the program lifting a veil of secrecy. we get a glimpse of russia's fifth generation fighter jet at the max international air show near moscow. at least twenty people have been killed after a deadly exchange of fire between israel and palestine rockets have been launched from gaza into israel with the jewish state launching air strikes against the palestinians after thursday's deadly attacks on southern israel gaza based political analyst dr honey all of us thinks it's significant that the violence comes just weeks before a u.n. vote on palestinian statehood all palestinian political factions have their mind and a link or responsibility with this attack on the israeli side and despite this fact we have what this last might mean military operations against the gaza strip in which syrian policy there were killed more than twenty people were wounded i guess that there is a link between the. policy and authority going to the united nations next month

trying to listen in the street to i think the israeli side trying to use this attack as a pretext to launch really try to execute is the policy is he really is on a policy and actions i think the israeli military would like to do put dies i mean before to go to the united nations to seek a palestinian state and this is why all the palestinian political factions. are trying to call for calm and to try to call for ceasefire with the israeli side in order to prevent any attack against gaza or the west bank by the israeli military forces and in order to give a chance for the palestinian authority to go to the u.n. next month to will seek a palestinian state. and fishermen in russia's far east are being offered a bounty to catch a shark responsible for attacking two people in as many days the shark severely

injured two men in the eastern region where authorities have declared a ban on swimming in the area until the predator is caught or he's heard the stories of the victims who first thought they are the heroes of the worst horror film they've ever seen. 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 off shore when it appeared the young man's wet suit served as protection and saved him from death but both his legs were severely wounded. crying help help the shark have a big boat but it was tied up so some guys went out on to do the sea of him and gave first date only a day earlier at twenty five year old man lost his forearms trying to defend his wife when the couple was saved witnesses were shocked at what they saw but i would

ask if it was really scary a country even describe it the man's hands were chewed off and the boat was full of blood. the attacks happened in the far eastern primordial 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 the world this type of shock really comes to waters it's 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 dangerous 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 point two metres 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 dairy pushed over r.t. moscow. now trying to take a look at so. more world news in brief for you at this moment. at least fifty people have been killed and over a hundred injured when a bomb exploded at a mosque in khyber region in north. claim a teenage suicide bomber detonated himself in the main hall of the mosque during friday prayers many of the injured are in a serious condition no group has admitted responsibility yet but taliban and al-qaeda militants are active in the region. and in neighboring afghanistan at least twelve people have been killed after twin suicide blasts in the capital kabul a suicide attacker detonated his explosive vest at a key intersection killing several policeman ten minutes later a car bomb destroyed the wall of the british council compound letting

a number of heavily armed men inside the taliban which has claimed responsibility says it was marking the anniversary of afghanistan's independence from the u.k. . all eyes were on the skies in the moscow region as the max two thousand and eleven international air show opened its doors to the public and as reports spectators will not only get the chance to experience firsthand the brand new airplanes but also to see what was a state secret just a matter of months before. many have heard about it but until now only a select few had seen it with their own eyes to have a sion fans the t. fifty is known as pac but this is it is still being developed so most of its technical specifications are top secret and that 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 meet just to see the jets in flight the first ever public display for pot but the jet is being developed by the sukhoi design bureau 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 it never got to be just 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 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 and to aircraft traders and will be able to cruise at supersonic speed but most of the guesswork boils down to this when fully 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 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 noises so would fly safely at lower near zero speeds it's safe even want to fly still first up to date environment in the cockpit is also new the fighter provides intelligence support to the pilots on board 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 the max air show in those carty. moscow region. and of course you can stay with. us as we continue coverage throughout the week. and you can read more on the stories that we are covering on our website.
