a moment. with news from russia and from around the world live from moscow this is our team with the pretty for us today good to have you with us this 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 get jitters and southeast miniport now explains fears of a new wave of recession announcing. investors around the world they 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 by 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. it 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 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 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 to report not reporting there and the two thousand and eight collapse of investment giant and the brothers the largest bankruptcy in u.s.

history is on many a financial mind right now fears of a repeat of sending markets into choppy waters to jason johnson professor of political science things only reassuring investors will save the u.s. from recession. the companies that have lost start there you're the last two days or two we used companies aren't magically not working anymore it's just the 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 or most of us right now is on 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 primarily want to see america so he just leasing to be passed united states if the president can sort some control and there's still some confidence in our future economy big debts or a less of a problem the inertia and inability right now to get the economy moving right now it looks like the chances of brock obama getting real like there actually are still

better than fifty percent which would mean that markets that are going to start with investing right now they're going to feel a bit more confident if it looks like obama's chances of being reelected are slim big everyone's going to get more in your risk if you have no idea what a new administration might acknowledge he was. the masses announce it's putting out for me they thought ceasefire with israel the statement comes after two days of israeli airstrikes on gaza more than a dozen palestinians have been killed in the strikes reportedly including children israel began its campaign forming a series of terrorist attacks in the egyptian border they killed eight israelis on thursday officials pin the blame on a gaza based group called the popular resistance committees for the incidents of falling the first airstrikes palestinians responded by launching more than twenty rocket attacks the rising tension comes less than a month before a vital u.n. vote on the recognition of the palestinian state would be getting a comment from israel a little later here on r.t. . well coming up later in the program and politics don't mix

in georgia as the director of the country's state fiercely gets the sack many of those supporting him claim it's because he opposed the president. and big business for some a tough job problems but a stunning show for all of us r.t. takes you through all the highlights of the next international show near moscow. but first a u.n. humanitarian team is heading to syria to assess the situation there well the latest stream of anti-government protests that reportedly left at least twenty people there earlier syria claimed operations against civilians have ended. because we've drifted from the u.s. and 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 plan of action the e.u. ready to expand pressure targeting the country's oil sector and the change then

slow says that such restrictive measures could prove decisive could you 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 that are closer to syria and russia is one such country and a very important country so i think the americans on our european specially really have to work hard to persuade the russians that 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 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 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 its 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. let's return to one of our top stories this is how masses announces pulling out from a de facto cease fire with israel and the statement comes just two days after israeli air strikes on gaza well let's go as promised life to israel and joining me live from there is a peace activist thanks very much indeed for joining us live here on our team now and that's his analysis no longer committed to a cease fire with israel so how nervous are you now about the situation seriously deteriorating. well i think. the pain of the big. of the current events. we can say that we didn't expect anything to happen and we all want to prepare our relatives big into the september events or took over and it happened now. and we're very so sorry to hear about what's happening and can see it is in the south are suffering from that and they

were asked by the government. to tent and we're all in this together and i think that our greatest challenge now is to keep the unity and the story that i think that we achieved here in our society in such a complicated country in such a complicated situation but today i can say with great confidence that we are still together as a society as a jewish man our absolute religious and secular we're all here together and that's . the greatest challenge and the greatest success we're seeing we're seeing military action from both sides at the moment you campaigning against military action you say you want to achieve unity how do you think that could be achieved. well so far i think what across the product has to change the terminology to make

those words left and right quite old fashioned because we're not left and right anymore we're not operate as a variety i think israel our greatest mistake as a society was to forget about our inner problems and inner conflicts because of the bigger threat that we experience in being part of the me that is being part of a very complicated area and wars on you may call it and i think what we've done in the last months and past months with to be together to really take all of our powers from the different that is in israel and come together united and say we want. we want social housing and one social justice in our house in the case in health system we want that and if we'll be here together is strong that stronger than ever it will solve our inner conflicts i'm sure that a bigger conflict avoidant conflict will also be solved in the future well i know

that all those issues have been expressed during a series of protests in israel recently the demonstrators of course now accusing the government of turning a deaf ear to their calls now do you think the government actually hear what you have to say during your particular campaign which is occurring on the back of those protests at the moment of what you're planning tonight. you know many social revolutions because of. security conflict is always the risk. i don't think it's going to happen because from what i hear from there almost a hundred it is in israel that everybody knows that the political situation is strongly related to the south. in the first the struggle is also the political struggle it all comes together and i thought it was really is also a political security and i think it was united in that so today tonight we're going to march to gather in silence you know literally back the sixteenth of this

conflict in silence together and that's the most important thing we're going to march here in tel aviv and also in about twenty other theories around the country and to scream the same the man there we had until now there have been longer because today we know we were very disappointed by the government's reaction and that immediately there than try to use our pain in order to start this process and we disagree this is going to continue and we're going to keep fighting for our rights and we're going to keep doing it together and we're not going to allow this conflict. well we'll be following those events and those developments there in israel in the meantime thanks very much indeed stuff here for joining us live from tel aviv. 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 a coup failed eventually leading to the collapse of the whole soviet union and to

democratic reforms in russia and takes a look back at the dramatic events. twenty years ago today moscow was in turmoil tanks on the streets barricades around outside the russian parliament the white house panic and anger were in the under soviet army came face to face with its own people who've got out of the first couple of days were pretty scary that's when we had to go to keep 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 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 you know little tanks and soldiers in the streets all of it's made you feel uneasy thinking what's going to happen in an hour what's going to happen at nighttime. 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 them lubov kamar fought her son dimitriy was safe with a friend in fact he was manning the barricades. judging by documents that i'd been able to see another dmitry had climbed on the vehicle to cover its mission slits after the in that he jumped into the big three a 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 have deserved we punched out late at the petrified by car they're poor patrons of bottles set in the more fire brian of it the tanks the conspirators already wavering and 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 here few soldiers were bearing 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 the bloodshed destroyed their cause the oldest coup had come close to succeeding but in the end it went the way of yeltsin

and democracy some bottom party. the art world in georgia riz up in arms after the director of the country state that it was fired officially the reason given was for xenophobia statements he said that's from a bit of supporters claim it was politically motivated after he spoke out against president sarkozy was wrong but the surf takes up the store in. all the world's a stage that the famous georgian face a director he saved brilliantly brought to like many of shakespeare's works and it has been fired from his role as the pride of the georgian feodor robert stewart has been removed from his post allegedly for xenophobic remarks but in fact it was revenge on a political decision we demand that the georgian culture minister restore him to his position in comments he made in an interview directing being outspoken against the government said the 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 and told him to exit stage left the many fear he simply being punished for his anti government. authorities to conventions on through and for accusing to support or worship them unlike others this was a political decision. the actions of the authorities haven't come as a surprise to sac as it is a cane and this is the latest in what they call an anti democratic trend of the president's critics being silenced as those that you speak. to rallies in for a short period of time it will be a major loss for georgia and is the answer 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's here 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 offered top spot again but belongs very heavily felt by many in georgia search out say. good water you don't come for the news you want to watch when you want to watch your posture and i think you've missed on the barrel screen here it's online there for you as well as a quick look at a couple of stories in the field on what your call a thirty year prison sentence short the u.s. state of indiana is the person convicted for murder is just twelve years old getting pull the trigger. and the long since to memorize all the price shocks and russia's far east another georgia tech could be coming in the south of the country as the crocodile goes on the rampage for more good watty dot com plus what all of our best videos or not you tube channel.
