global markets end the week while up by a massive selloff as investors panic over a forecast of recession in the u.s. and europe. the middle east is in flames once again in some mass pulls out of a cease fire after the israeli air force targets gaza. and the anniversary of a crucial turmoil the failed coup by communist hardliners and the bloody resistance of democratic activists twenty years ago opened the era of a new post soviet russia our top stories this hour.

international news and comment live from moscow this is r.t. with twenty four hours a day investor confidence has been dealt a severe blow as global markets nose dived on friday stocks have enjoyed a volatile week amid warnings of slow growth and eurozone debt just as and as artie's report now explains fears of a new wave of recession amounting. investors around the world may have very little to celebrate this weekend as u.s. stocks and major european share markets closed down on friday of course this capping the turmoil and volatility that continues to be seen in the european economy in the u.s. economy at least being seen for the past few weeks this does not help ease the lot of confidence inch and lack of trust that is taking place among analysts and investors keeping their eye on the global economy and j.p.

morgan chase morgan stanley goldman sachs are among the three banks that came out with reports we're wising their predictions for u.s. and global economic growth they cut those predictions morgan stanley even saying that the global economy is hovering close to a recession and also not helping the circumstances recent reports indicating that the u.s. economy is not doing as well as anticipated manufacturing is that its lowest point since two thousand and nine the housing market is still experiencing a huge slump unemployment is spiraling here in the u.s. more than fourteen million americans are unemployed investors are also very concerned about how european leaders are handling the debt crisis in europe the fact of what it is doing to the euro zone many believe that the right decisions are not being made and not being made quick enough clearly this is an indication that

three years after the financial collapse that started here in new york wall street in fact the rest of the world clearly that crisis continues to be having a huge impact on the lives of people all around the world those people that were promised that three years later the economy would be doing much better and now all we see. he said that there are a lot of struggles taking place and it's not quite clear if any leader of any country knows how to handle this problem to stop all the volatility turmoil and to bring confidence to investors. there in the two thousand collapse two thousand and eight collapse i should say of investment giant lehman brothers the largest bankruptcy in u.s. history is on many a financial mind fear is a repeat of sending markets into choppy waters talk to jason johnson professor of political science thinks only restored an investor confidence will save the u.s.

from recession. the companies that have lost your glass to. these companies aren't magically not working anymore it's just that people's confidence is at an all time lows so if confidence stays low we will see another recession of confidence improves the economy the only problem with that is when someone actually wants to call it most of the us right now is owned by china china is not about to reclaim the state of virginia they're not about to reclaim new york city by calling in their debts they primarily want to see america so if i just leasing to be passed united states if the president can sort some control and there's still some confidence in our future economy. people's inertia and inability right now to get the economy moving right now it looks like the chances of getting real like that are actually they're still better than fifty percent which would mean that markets that are concerned with investing right now they're going to feel that we're confident if it looks like obama's chances of being real like that are slim then

everyone's going to get more nervous no idea when your ministration might have. the ongoing market turmoil the public has mostly left the traders to worry about slumping stocks pass with investments and pension funds on the line our very own resident in new york asked people there on the streets where they are putting their money. and the global economy continues to be valid or do you feel like your money to pay for this week let's talk about that the u.s. aid and that might get you kidding me. but i love las vegas play blackjack or play roulette that's when you have a chance you have faith and it's not too much. because they're. falling down but you haven't pulled out yet you know it'll come back for sure you had money invested. you don't test it that much but i just haven't got the money if you have

the cash now's the time to buy. everything but what if it just keeps crashing further you have the money to lose you lose it if you don't come play it you have money invested own best we cover your heart and everything in the economy is not stable so just at this present moment the stock market is not safe so where's your money i did my mattress the way it goes up and down it's really just. so i have no faith in it is there was a why we play a game with our security. well what are your choices what are you going to do with your money put out of the mattress i don't think that's going to work too well but about gold you can put some in gold but warren buffett says you take something from . under the earth. and all the sudden you put dollars into it and you have to get your money back out from selling the gold so it doesn't make sense to me if things were to get to where you have to put your money in gold i

don't think the u.s. government would allow. gold to undermine the currency so it's your chance that we could go back to a system of bartering or more local kind of exchanges. think so right now we live in the last days of gaza where there's the. money and that's where the is that was the money that aristide we're seeing signs of and here with what's gone on with the economy i think so no matter where you keep your money these days the bottom line is no place will ever be completely inviolate. the masses and else is no longer committed to a cease fire with israel comes as the jewish state continues to retaliate with ass strikes on the gaza strip for a second day more than a dozen palestinians have been killed in the strikes began its campaign following knowledge terrorist attack that killed eight israelis on thursday popular

resistance committees based in the gaza strip the blame for the. original incidents following friday's airstrikes palestinian militants responded by launching more than twenty rocket attacks and rising tension comes less than a month before a vital u.n. vote on the recognition of the palestinian state because the best political analysts talk to honey thinks israel wants to sabotage the vote and divert attention from recent domestic unrest all palestinian political factions have their mind and a link or responsibility with this attack on the israeli side despite this fact we have witnessed last night military operations against the gaza strip i guess that there is a link between the the case of. authority going to the united nations next month trying to pull clear policy to that i think the israelis are trying to use this as a pretext to launch military bases it is the palestinian civilians in the palestinian factions i think the israeli military would like to do guys annie palestinian

before the water they are to be changed to secrecy in any state we have witnessed for the past two weeks at major protests in israel and i guess to be the israeli government would use their foretaste in order to support its only stand against the government it's the case now. i see now there is really would be more united against the palestinians in this piece i guess that netanyahu government and his coalition would use this. so you might the onus for that is that was to be able to end the in the inside is where you. meanwhile egypt has decided to withdraw its ambassador from israel over deaths of five egyptian security personnel in border attacks more than two thousand if you can stage an angry protest outside the israeli embassy in cairo against the us soldiers reporting crossfire israeli troops try to pursue palestinian militants they believe

responsible for the deaths of eight people in an ambush on. this is r.t. coming to life from the russian capital coming up later in the program ought and politics don't mix in georgia director of the country's state gets the sack any of those supporting him claim it's because he opposes the president. and big business to solve a tough job problems but a stunning show for all it takes you through all the highlights of the next international air show in moscow. all that still to come but first a u.n. humanitarian team is heading to syria to assess the situation on the ground well the latest stream of anti-government protests have reportedly left at least twenty people dead syria claimed on the operations against civilians have ended we rejected calls from the u.s. and the e.u. urging president assad to step down saying he should be given more time to enact promised reforms nevertheless

a set of fresh economic sanctions have been imposed on syria in response to the government's ban interaction with the e.u. ready to expand pressure targeting the country's oil sector analyst james then said such restrictive measures could prove decisive but do not look realistic. americans have been very clear they know their ability to change their behavior is limited they have always said that have to reach out to countries are closer to syria and russia is one such country and a very important country in that so i think the americans will now europeans especially really have to work hard to persuade the russians they are right on syria russia is currently right 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 serious oil exports of the present about ninety percent or so serious oil is exported to europe so the europeans and i can argue on a united front against assad does that mean that 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 is ability to control things so ultimately i do think there is more than rhetoric to what the u.s. and europeans are saying right now for many russians this day twenty years ago was full of uncertainty and extreme anxiety thanks for patrolling the streets of moscow as a group of hardline communist officials attempted to seize power but the coup failed eventually leading to the collapse of the whole soviet union and to democratic reforms in russia it is tom button takes a look back at the dramatic events. twenty years ago today moscow was in turmoil tanks on the streets barricades monday outside the russian parliament the white house panic and anger were in the air and the soviet army came face to face with its own people who've put out the first couple of days were pretty scary that's when we had to go to key points in the city and protect them there were

crowds of people gathering and violence was on the verge of breaking out the coupon that isolated soviet leader mikhail gorbachev and seize control of media outlets one reporter defied the k.g.b. officers in his news room. we switched on our t.v. camera without much hope of being able to call in here tonight you can see barricades being erected. survey's report was shown and spread word of the democratic resistance developing around the reformist russian president boris yeltsin as the standoff continues through the nineteenth and twentieth of august fears grew of an assault on the white house you know the tanks and soldiers in the streets all of it made you feel uneasy thinking what's going to happen in an hour what's going to happen at night time. those armored vehicles tried to ram their way through barricades and move into a road tunnel near the white house some of the protesters tried to stop the lubov

kamar force her son dmitri was safe with a friend in fact he was manning the barricades. judging by documents that i've been able to see and know that mitri had climbed on my vehicle to cover its vision slits after the and that he jumped into the vehicles riya hatch where he was shot. dimitri was only wounded but the vehicle then ran over his head killing him as two other protesters were shot in the mayhem. that guy was killed in front of thousands of people who it was the we pumped out later that petrified only by car there poor pictures of bottles set in them a fire throwing them at the tanks the conspirators already wavering lost their nerve. the three men memorialized here have become martyrs for the democratic cause in fact the expected assault on the white house never materialized but even before

the violence which happened just mere few soldiers were being orders. my colleagues and i already saw that the coup was failing so after i got the orders to attack the white house and it ran yeltsin we unanimously decided we wouldn't do it . as the plotters admitted it the bloodshed destroyed their cause the oldest coup could come close to succeeding but in the end it went the way of yeltsin and democracy dumbarton. the art world in georgia is up in arms after the director of the country's state theatre was fired officially the reason given was for xenophobia statements he's alleged to have made but his supporters claim it was politically motivated after he spoke out against president saakashvili as will the surface takes up the story. of. all the world's a stage but the famous georgian face the director he said it's unlike many of

shakespeare's works and it's the scene in his. yes the pride of the georgian theatre. has been removed from the coast allegedly for to methodically march but in fact there was a revenge and political decision demanded georgian culture minister story out of his positions. in comments he made in an interview directing known for being outspoken against the government president saakashvili being armenian and he was not able to understand the needs of the georgian people it was a criticism too far and the government branded him senate they've told him to exit stage left and many feel he's simply being punished by his anti government. authorities took vengeance on stewart for refusing to support a warship and like others this was a political decision. the actions of the authorities haven't come as a surprise to sack of shit he's

a painting this is the latest in what they call an anti democratic friends of the president's critics being silenced is the thing you see if progress to rallies in for a short period of time it will be a major loss for george and his theatre but the government is not worried about this they're really afraid of any moral authority in georgia i mean those people that are brave enough to criticize them but this country to you forever but they say the show must go on and the internationally acclaimed director could now end up working here one of the most popular places where he's been the hot spots most games will be a lot of very heavily felt by many in georgia serve. the sounds of jet engines have been roaring around moscow over the past few days with the flying machines tearing up the skies are tears at the max international air show and room we'll bring you all highlights throughout the weekend.
