nosedive on friday stocks have endured a volatile week amid warnings of slow growth and eurozone debt jitters. porton i.i. explains 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 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
7:02 am
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 the european leaders are handling the debt crisis in europe and the fact of what it is doing to the euro zone many believe that did 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 infected the rest of the world clearly that crisis continues to be
7:03 am
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. see as 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 dr jason johnson professor of political science thinks only reassuring investors will save the u.s. from another recession the companies that have lost value over the last 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 if confidence stays low we will see
7:04 am
another recession of confidence improves the economy will the only problem with that is when someone actually wants to call it it most of the u.s. debt 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 improve so it legislation can be passed united states if the president can sort some control and there's still some confidence in our future economy but debts are less of a problem than people's inertia and inability right now to get the economy moving right now it looks like the chances of brought 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. hamas has announced it's pulling out from a defacto cease fire with israel the statement comes after two days of israeli air
7:05 am
strikes on gaza more than a dozen palestinians have been killed in the strikes reportedly including children play 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 incidents following the first air strikes palestinians responded by launching more than twenty attacks rise in 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 mustafa 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. this last three months. of violence.
7:06 am
we've got in this with a fair go to. including come out have been committed to cease fire. is there is going. to have this problem with regard to the. older groups in gaza have denied. this happening but i'm sorry. which is. the. most 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 the gaza strip and valid a tough response i mean surely the jewish state has the right to defend itself don't you agree. surely the palestinian people of that i would also try to defend themselves at target while they are on that occupation what israel is doing is constant a vocation israel could not provide any single proof that those who attacked them
7:07 am
egyptian thirty three had any relationship but it's been no single proof was provided israel has attacked viciously guys killed up to now to fifteen people including three children one is two years old one is three years old one is five years old they killed a medical doctor while he was providing medical care at his son and they are continuing that act which has resulted already in fifty injured including the eleven women and eleven children this is coalition must stop in our opinion israel is using violence to the 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 the recognition of that but if you see it and the people how is the current escalation that we're seeing of tension between israel and hamas going to a fact the palestinian bid to gain un recognition of their state in september less than a month away. well it's clear that israel is hoping that this is collision which
7:08 am
could go into a full scale war now on full scale aggression if the israeli massacres against palestinian civilians continue is there in hopes that this would divvied that engine from the words in the united nations or to leave through an obstruction of that a question of the palestinian independence a clear game israel has used borders before right now we have it's political challenges and but we are going to continue to proceed to go to the united nations or more than that with today or the palestinian authority has as the united nations security council for an emergency meeting to take measures to restrain the israeli behavior and israel must stop these aggressions that could leave. televisions and then we will have an endless cycle of violence the walls must pressure israel to stop that fact visually against civilians and put a strain is there and if israel does not i think the world has to also establish to
7:09 am
punish them and then israel abides by international law and international humanitarian law and by the truce that was on the ground before these attacks started but again it's hamas that announced that it's pulling out of the ceasefire which may mean they are prepared for full scale military action don't 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 good question sounds imbalance because if one side says 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 they're going to start a should stop they're going to shoot so that there would be an order to leave if you ordered it not a sponsor but do you think that is going to be should be answered with aggression is that what you're saying no i'm saying people have the right to defend themselves
7:10 am
this is what israeli claims all the time that was the content of your first question when you said the jew is there and you called it the jewish state which is by the way something that needs to be discussed with you and you are the first questions asked me and said if it does there's always this have that i have to defend that i'm saying everybody has that i had to defend themselves but addition to the stop so that there will be no need for the leadership that side that is collating violence at this moment is that ariel and this must stop as soon as possible right dr mustafa barghouti is live from ramallah a member of the palestinian parliament thank you very much for your input this hour . 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 it's claim it's because he opposes the president. and big business for saw a tough job for all there is but a stunning show for all as our t.

takes you through all the highlights of the mox international air show near moscow . 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 claimed army operations against civilians have ended meanwhile moscow has rejected calls from the u.s. and the e.u. urging the president off the concept down saying he should be given more time to enact promised reforms nevertheless decided 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 but do not look realistic. the americans have been very clear they know their implements and ability to change syrian 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
7:12 am
a very important country so i think the americans will now and the europeans especially really have to work hard to persuade the russians that they are right on syria and 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 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 extreme tanks were patrolling the streets of moscow as a group of hardline communists officials attempted to seize power but the coup failed eventually leading to the collapse of the whole soviet union and to
