where did it take. for the. global markets and the we can all of try a massive sell off as investors panic over forecast of recession in the us and europe. the middle east is in flames once again as a mass of polls out of a ceasefire after the israeli air force targets gaza. yet a verse three of a crucial turmoil the failed coup by communist hardliners and the bloody resistance of democratic activists twenty years ago open the era of a new post soviet bloc also. policies of the two thousand and eleven of max international and so i have a role researchers say the weather is not stopping us from flying high in the skies today particularly my flight is to go up in this russian alligator fifty seats all

the details in just a moment. fly from our studios in central moscow you're watching our team with me and he said now it's two pm here in the russian capital six am on wall street where investor confidence has been dealt a severe blow as global markets nosedived on friday stocks have been short of volatile week amid warnings of slow growth and eurozone debt jitters and. explains fears of a new wave of perception are now being. 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 rising 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. war 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 on 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 these see 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. but the two thousand and eight collapse of the

investment giant lehman brothers the largest bankruptcy in u.s. history is on many financial minds right now fears of a repeat is sending markets into choppy waters jason johnson professor of political science thinks only reassuring investors will save the u.s. from recession the companies that have lost start by your glass two days or two weeks these companies are naturally not working any more 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 who actually wants to call it most of the u.s. right now is owned by china china is not about to reclaim the state or region that they're not about to reclaim new york city by calling in their debts they primarily want to see america so it wasn't just leashing from the past united states if the president can sort some control and there's still some confidence in our future economy the problem that people's inertia and inability right now to get the

economy moving right now it looks like the chances of barack obama getting reelected are actually they're still better than fifty percent which was really the markets that are concerned with investing right now they're going to feel more confident if it looks like obama's chances of being reelected are slim everyone's going to get more risk and you know no idea what to do administration by about policy. but despite the ongoing market turmoil the public has mostly left the trader to traders i should say too wary about slumping stocks but with investments and pension funds on the line our very own president in new york has people on the streets where they are putting their money. as the global economy continues to be volatile where do you feel like your money is safest this week let's talk about that do you have faith in the stock market are you kidding me i'll go to washington i love las vegas play blackjack or play

roulette that's when you have a chance you have face i'm it's not too much but i'm still worried because they're . calling doubt but you haven't pulled out yet you know it will come back to show you have money invested now. they don't trust it that much for your time got the money if you have the cash now's the time to buy everything's low but what if it just keeps crashing further you have the money to lose you lose it if you don't don't play it do you have money invested on best week of your hard times and everything and economy is not stable so i just at this present moment the stock market is not safe so where's your money. the way it goes up and down it's really it's just. so i have no faith that it is that was why we play a game with our security well what are your choices what are you going to do with your money you're put under the mattress i don't think that's going to work too well but what about in gold's you could put some in call like warren buffett says

you take something from. on the you're. to get up an older certainly put dollars into it and you have to get your money back. from selling your 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 is there a chance that we could go back to a system of artery or more local kind of exchanges oh i don't think so right now we're living in the last days of gaza where there's the. money and that's what is that was the money so that aristide was being signs of it and here with what's going on with the economy i think still no matter where you keep your money these days the bottom line is no place will ever be completely.

hamas has announced its pulling out from a de facto cease fire 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 a 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 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 also based political analyst dr honey albus thinks israel wants to sabotage the vote and i've heard attention from recent mistake on press. all palestinian political factions have their mind and a link or sponsibility with this attack on the israeli side and despite this fact we have witnessed last night military operations against the gaza strip i guess

that there is a link between the u.k. so the policy of authority going to the united nations next month trying to call clear policy is to i think the israeli side are trying to use this as a pretext to launch really try thanks again to the palestinian civilians and palestinian factions i think the israeli military would like to jeopardize any palestinian force to go to the united nations to seek a palestinian state we have witnessed for the past two weeks that major protests in sight israel i guess today the israeli government would use that protest in order to support its own stand against the government it's the opposite case now. i see now that israeli leader would be more united idealist the palestinians in this piece i guess that netanyahu government and his coalition they would use this tactic so you might be there only for the use of listening and be able to end the

end the therefore just inside israel. meanwhile egypt has decided to withdraw its in basket or from israel over to gas of five gyptian security personnel in border attacks more than two thousand new gyptian stage an angry protest outside the israeli embassy in cairo against the doubts soldiers were caught in crossfire as israeli troops try to pursue palestinian militants they believed responsible for the deaths of eight people and bush on thursday. coming out later in the program here in r.t. art and politics don't mix in georgia as the director of the country's state theater against the fact many of those supporting him claim it's because he opposed the president. and big business for some by talking jobs for others but it's going so far always r.t. takes you through all the highlights of the mox international air show here in

moscow. and you mention many 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 claims army operations against civilians had ended meanwhile moscow has rejected calls from the u.s. and urging president also can step down things should be given more time to enact promised reforms nevertheless the set of fresh economic sanctions have been imposed on syria in response to the government's private action with the e.u. ready to expand pressure targeting the country's oil sector analyst james jones though says such restrictive measures could prove decisive but do not look realistic. 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 or closer to syria and russia is one such country and a very important country so i think the americans are now in europe and especially

really have to work hard to persuade the russians that they are right on syria russia is currently wrong so that is the next importance that i think we should focus on one particular element which is really important to go in the way serious 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 project 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. 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 communists officials attempted to seize power felt eventually leading to the collapse of the whole soviet union and its democratic reforms in russia

archie's time barton takes a look back at the america vents. 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 on the soviet army came face to face with its own people who 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. plotters had isolated soviet leader mikhail gorbachev and seized control of media outlets. defied the k.g.b. officers in his news room. we switched on our t.v. camera without you much hope of being able to go 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 thank you how little it tanks and soldiers in the streets and all of it made you feel uneasy thinking what's going to happen in an hour what's going to happen i might tell you know. 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 you both come our daughter son dimitriy was safe with a friend in fact he was manning the barricades. judging by documents that i've been able to see and i think any tree had climbed on my vehicle to cover its vision slits after the and that he jumped into the big three a hatch where he was shot. to me and was in the vehicle then ran over his head killing him as two other protesters were shot in the mayhem. even the guy was

killed in front of thousands of. pounds owsley it's a pager from a nearby car the poor picture until both sets of them are fired frying them in the tanks the construes has already blazing last of. the three men memorialized here have become martyrs for the democratic cause in fact expected assault on the white house never materialized but even before the pilots which happened just mere few soldiers were being orders. to shoot my colleagues and i already saw that the coup was nailing so after i got the orders to attack the white house and if we had yeltsin was he decided he wouldn't do it. as the plotters admitted the bloodshed destroyed. the oldest would come close to succeeding but in the end it was the way. and democracy tom watson.
