we'll. bring you the latest in science and technology from the realms. we go into the future covered. global markets and the week wallop try a massive selloff as investors panic over forecast of recession in the u.s. and europe. the middle east is in flames once again that's how moussa pulls out of the 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 over the air of a new post soviet russia. it's

three pm in moscow and this is r t coming to you live on an isa now with our top story this hour investor confidence has been dealt a severe blow as global markets nosedive on friday stocks have endured a volatile week amid warnings of slow growth and eurozone debt genders and as archie's reimport marina point i explained fears of a new wave of perception are mounting. 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 a lot 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 room 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 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 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 always. see there's 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 back to investors. well the two thousand and eight collapse of investment giant lehman brothers the largest bankruptcy in u.s. history is on many a financial mind right now here's a repeat is something markets into choppy waters thank you jason johnson professor of political science thinks only reassuring investors will save the u.s.

from another recession so companies that have lost start value or glass two days or two weeks these companies aren't magically not working any more it's just that people's confidence is at an all time lows so it 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 u.s. right now is owned by china or china it 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 we have not just leashing to be passed united states gives the president can sort some control and there's still some confidence in our future economy but debts are a bus that we're proud of the people's inertia and the inability right now to get the economy moving right now it looks like the chances of barack obama getting real life that are actually there is still better than fifty percent which would mean that 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 real like that are slim then everyone's going to get more nervous response you know no idea what

a new administration might asking about. hamas has announced it's pulling out from a defacto 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 well israel began its campaign following a series of terrorist attacks at 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 following the first air strikes palestinians responded by launching more than twenty attacks rising tension comes less than a month before a vital u.n. vote on the recognition of the palestinian state let's now talk to dr was the father barghouti who's a member of the palestinian parliament and joins us live from ramallah now with hamas having announced it's no longer committed to a cease fire and israel promising more retaliation do you see the current tension growing into something bigger maybe

a regional war. well in my opinion. but he moans. got into some of the fire good. guys including come out. and does a very. good we have this problem we've got to think about all the group because they have been i want to really. bring that on. which is good. for my right but israel says now israel carried out the terrorist attacks on thursday on its territory that they were in fact infiltrated from the hamas run gaza strip invalided tough response i mean surely the jewish state has the right to defend itself don't you agree. surely the

palestinian people are the right also to defend themselves. while they are under occupation what israel is doing is constant of all creation israel could not provide any single proof that those who attacked and could we had any relationship to but as you know no single group was over provided israel has apparently viciously guys killed fifteen people including three children one is two years old one is three years old going to strike years old they killed a medical doctor while he was providing medical care and is done and they are continuing their past which has resulted in fifty injured including eleven women and eleven children this is collision must stop in our opinion israel is using violence today to run away from its social internal problems and to run away from the fact that it is diplomatically isolated because we are nonviolently and peacefully demanding from the united nations recognition of the palestinians and of . how is the current escalation that we're seeing of tension between israel and

hamas going to a fact palestinian bid to gain u.n. recognition of their state in september last a month away. well it's clear that israel is hoping that this is collision which could go into a full scale war now on full scale aggression if the israeli massacre but if the new civilians continue israel holds that this would be the year that tension from the united nations or lead to an obstruction of the recollection of the palestinian independence a clear game israel has used borders before what i now hear from its political challenges and what we are going to continue the policy will go to the united nations or more than that we will be there the palestinian authority has as the united nations security council emergency meeting to take a major to restrain the israeli behavior and israel must not be the garage and that's good leave it's literally asians and then we will have an endless cycle of

violence the world must pressure israel to stop that are actually against civilians and through history and if israel does not stop i think the world has to also established acts of punishment then israel abide by international law and international humanitarian law and by the truce that was on the ground that started but again it is time now that announced that it's pulling out of the cease fire which may mean they are prepared for a full scale military action because you think they should be more restraint ahead of the upcoming move to ask for recognition of the palestinian state i'm sorry to say that the question sounds in balance because if one side is the they are going to defend themselves because they are being attacked i think the approach here should be that both sides should not go to violence and i discard it should stop degradation so that there would be an orderly order not response but do you

not as racial tension believe you should be answered with aggression is that what you're saying. no i think people have the right to defend themselves this is what israel claims all the time that was the first question when you said the jewish state and duke will decide who is by that we've come to discuss but you and you would first question asked me and if it does the jewish does have the right to defend itself everybody has that i have to defend themselves but i get him to stop so that there would be no need for ticklish that by that skeleton violence at this moment israel and this must stop as soon as possible right after most of our live from ramallah member of the palestinian parliament thank you very much for your input as well. well coming up later in the program art and politics don't mix in georgia as the director of the country's state theater gets the sack many of those supporting his claim its big claim it's because he opposes the

president. and big business for some tough job for others but as stunning so far as our tea takes you through all the highlights of the marks international air show you must go. a u.n. humanitarian team is heading to syria to assess the situation there well the latest stream of anti-government protests have reportedly left at least twenty people dead earlier syria claims army operations against civilians have ended in moscow has rejected calls from the u.s. and the e.u. urging president after a crackdown saying we should be given more time to reenact promised reforms nevertheless the sound of fresh economic sanctions have been imposed on syria in response to the government's violent action with the e.u. ready to expand pressure targeting the country's oil sector analyst james says such restrictive measures could prove decisive 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 who are closer to syria and russia is one such country and a very important country so i think the americans are now in the europeans especially really have to work hard to persuade the russians that they are right on syria and that russia is currently wrong so that is the next important step i think we should focus on one particular element which is really important could go either way syria's or oil exports of the present about ninety percent or so there is oil is exported to europe so the europeans have not come out you know united front against assad does that mean that they will no longer accept syrian oil now syrian or makes up some a quarter of syria's hard currency budget so a lot of huge amounts 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 state twenty years ago was full of uncertainty an extreme example 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 artie's time barton takes a look back at the dramatic events. twenty years ago today moscow was in turmoil tanks on the streets barricades manned 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. 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 and the coup plotters had isolated soviet leader mikhail gorbachev and seized 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 corner tonight you can see barricades being erected. sergei'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'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 row tunnel near the white house some of the protesters tried to stop them you both come are for her son dimitri was safe with a friend in fact he was manning the barricades. and judging by documents that i've been able to see unaided only tree had climbed on my vehicle to

cover its vision slits afternoon that he jumped into the big azaria hatch where he was shot. to me he was a bit but the vehicle then ran over his head killing him as two other protesters were shot in the mayhem. even though that guy was killed in front of thousands of people went berserk we punched out later the picture from a nearby car the poor picture into bottles sets of them of fire throwing them in the tanks and construed has already wagering last of. 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 bang orders. my colleagues and i already saw that the coup was kneeling so after i got the orders to attack the white house and if we had yeltsin we didn't animists he decided we wouldn't do it

but. as the plotters admitted the bloodshed destroyed that course the oldest cooper come close to succeeding but in the end it went the way of yeltsin and democracy dumbarton party. 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 xenophobic statements he is alleged to have made but its supporters claim it was politically motivated after he spoke out against president saakashvili this rule r.t. sarraf earth takes up the story. all the world's a stage but the famous georgian face a director he saved brilliantly like many of shakespeare's works on it has been fired from his role as the pride of the georgian future 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 the ninth of being outspoken against the government said that president saakashvili being armenian meant he was not able to understand the needs of the georgian people it was a criticism. and the government branded him sent a favor and told him to exit stage left and many feel he's simply being punished for his anti-government views. authorities took mansions on the street for refusing to support bush and like others this was a political decision. yet she's at the authorities haven't come as a surprise to sack of shit he's a caning this is the latest in what they call an anti democratic trends as the president's critics being silenced as the saying you sleep. through a leaves 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

that they're really afraid of any moral authority in georgia i mean those people that are brave enough to criticize them but this conference here forever but they say the show must go on and the internationally acclaimed director could now ends up working here one of the most popular places where he's been off the top spot most case gain belongs very heavily felt by many in georgia. say. well those are team dot com for the news you want to watch plus check anything you missed on the air it's online as well here's a quick look thirty year prison sentence shocks the u.s. state of indiana as the person convicted for murder is just twelve years old and didn't even hold the trigger. and not long since two men were mauled by sharks in russia as far as another jaws attack could be coming in the south of the country as
