nosedived on friday stocks have enjoyed a volatile week amid warnings of slow growth and eurozone debt jitters and as artie's marina portnoy 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 lack of confidence interest 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 were saying 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 and the fact of what it's 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 it infected 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 and turmoil and to bring confidence to investors to put their hand the two thousand and eight collapse of investment john lehman brothers the largest bankruptcy in u.s. history is on many a financial mind right now is a repeat is sending markets into choppy waters dr jason johnson he's professor of political science thinks only risk averaging investor confidence will save the u.s. from recession the companies that have lost stock value over the last two days or two weeks 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 will the only problem with that is when someone actually wants to call it or most of the u.s. 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 legislation can be passed united states if the president can sort some control and there's still some confidence in our future economy debts are less of a problem the inertia and inability right now to get the economy moving right now it looks like the chances of barack obama getting real like that are actually they're still better than fifty percent which would mean less markets that are concerned with investing right now now they're going to feel a bit more confident if it looks like obama's chances of being reelected are slim then everyone's going to get more nervous risk if you have no idea what a new administration might act policy wise. as announced it's pulling out from a de facto ceasefire with israel the statement comes after two days of israeli air

strikes on gaza more than a dozen palestinians have been killed in the strikes reportedly including children israel began its campaign following a series of terrorist attacks at the egyptian border that killed eight israelis on thursday officials pin the blame on a gaza based group called the popular resistance committees for the incident following the first air strikes palestinians responded by launching more than twenty rocket attacks rising tension comes less than a month before a vital u.n. vote on the recognition of the palestinian state based political analyst dr. 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 sponsibility with this attack on the israeli side on despite this fact we have what this last might mean military operations against the gaza strip i guess that there is a link between the the case of the policy there with authority going to the united nations next month trying to talk to him but it's nice to see i think the israeli

side are trying to use this as a pretext to launch military bases it is the palestinian civilians on the palestinian factions i think the israeli military would like to do pull dies i need palestinian before to go to the united nations to seek a palestinian state we have witnessed for the past two weeks at major protests in israel and i guess to the israeli government would use that for taste in order to support its own to stand against the government it's the case now i see i see now the israeli people would be more united against a policy in this case i guess that netanyahu government and his coalition they would use this attack to you might their own a force that is supposed to be able to end the in the protest inside israel.

meanwhile egypt has decided to withdraw its ambassador from israel of the deaths of four gyptian security personnel in border. two thousand and three protest outside the israeli embassy in. the soldiers recording crossfire. try to pursue palestinian militants responsible for the deaths of eight people. well coming up later in the program here. politics don't mix in georgia director of a country gets the sack many of those supporting. the president. also still. a tough job for all those. international. for the full story we've got. the biggest issues get

a human voice face to face with the news makers. twenty years ago this country. to. sleep what. you currently each began a journey. where did it take the. mission. cretaceous three destroyed judges free. agent free. three stooges free. old free broadcast quality video for your media projects a free media. and un humor. tarion team is heading to syria to assess the situation there while the

latest stream of anti-government protests have reportedly left at least twenty people dead earlier syria claimed army operations against civilians offended meanwhile moscow's rejected calls from the u.s. and urging president assad to step down 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 plan into action the e.u. ready to expand pressure targeting the country's oil sector and others james denselow says such restrictive measures could prove decisive but do not look realistic. the americans have been very clear they know their ability to change their behavior is limited they've always said that have to reach out to countries or close it to syria and russia is one such country and a very important country so i think the americans are now in europe in specially really have to work hard to persuade the russians 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 serious 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 a quarter of syria's hard currency budget so it 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. for many russians this day twenty years ago was full of uncertainty and extreme anxiety tanks were 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 all to talk about and take a look back at the dramatic events. twenty years ago today moscow was in turmoil tanks on the streets barricades mound 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. but 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 coup plotters had isolated soviet leader mikhail gorbachev and seized control of media outlets but one reporter defied the k.g.b. officers in his news room. we've switched on our t.v. camera without much hope of being able to go on air 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. 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. as 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 them lubov kamar thought 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 another dmitri had climbed on my vehicle to cover its vision slits after the and that he jumped into the vehicles area 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 went berserk we pumped out later that petrified nearby car their poor picture into bottles sets of 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 bearing orders. my colleagues and i already saw that the coup was failing so i asked for i got the orders to attack the white house and apprehend yeltsin we unanimously decided we wouldn't do it but. as the plotters admitted the bloodshed destroyed their cause the august coup had come close to succeeding but in the end it went the way of yeltsin and democracy tom barton r.t. . the odd world in georgia is up in arms after the director of the country's state theatre was fired officially the reason given was for xenophobe it statements he's

authorities took van jones on for refusing to support them unlike others this was a political decision. the actions of the authorities haven't come as a surprise to sack of shit is a cane and this is the latest in what they call an anti democratic trend of the president's critics being silenced just as when you see it from bridge to rallies in for a short period of time it will be a major loss for georgia and his theater but the government is not worried about that 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 case most popular faces where he's been at the top spots most day but billows very heavily felt by many in georgia serve
