tensions rise in the middle east as hamas calls off its cease fire with israel following days of deadly airstrikes on gaza. while here in years old people believe the government is using the conflict to divert attention away from jimmy the problems and event the recognition of a palestinian state at the united nations i'll bring you more in just a few moments. in other news it's been another turbulent week for the world's markets as fears are mounting that the u.s. and europe are on the brink of another devastating downturn and. also we continue our coverage marking the twentieth anniversary of the attempted coup against good

of our child which changed the course of the soviet union. and it's all about maxing it out at the international air show near moscow where gravity defying action a lucrative duel making are picking up pace on looking on from a day of three of them. live from our studios in central moscow you're watching archie with me and he said no way it's four pm here in the russian capital our top story hopes for a mideast peace agreement have been dealt afresh with hamas so no i'm saying is pulling out from in two factors ceasefire with israel the statement follows two days of israeli airstrikes on gaza that sought more than a thousand killed but calls live now to tel aviv where are these paula we are joins us paula how did this statement by hamas a fact what's already are very volatile situation. well as you

say the math is that will no longer add here to the truth now they say that there is no proof that these attacks which happened on thursday originated from gaza in fact they deny that despite the fact that israel insists that it was or is to blame now the palestinian president mahmoud abbas is calling for an emergency united nations security council meeting he's calling on the international community to denounce and to call on is all to stop these attacks the latest because we have asked some such team palestinians who have been killed in a round of israeli airstrikes that have been ongoing and late tuesday we are also being told that the situation on the ground is intensifying and there are no indications that the situation will make up anytime soon now as far as the israeli side goes they say that hamas the islamic jihad and the popular resistance committees that it holds responsible for thursday's attacks are responsible for some live in city grad and kasam rockets that have been fired on israel from close

to what we're witnessing on the ground is a situation that is intensifying and intensifying quickly what about the people in tel aviv where you are how are they feeling about this latest announcement from hamas about the cease fire well most israelis are very afraid that there could be a full spill scale war between israel and gaza and in the last conflict there were a number of casualties on both sides but having said that it is now more than four weeks from israeli protesters have taken to the streets asking and demanding from the government that a great they both the economic problems organizers of these demonstrations say that this latest wave of violence is not unexpected they very much into the paper that israeli government would use anything to detract attention from their complaints and their conference and earlier we spoke to one of the organizers who said that they were fine with the victims of the violence and that there was sort of planning to go ahead tonight with

a candlelight demonstration showing solidarity with those who have been filled it's taken this end. tonight we're going to march together in silence in order to respect the victims of this conflict we're very disappointed by the government's reaction and that immediately said i'm trying to use our pain in order to stop this social causes and we disagree such a thought as 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 to stop us paula what does this latest flare up mean of tensions i should say mean for the upcoming u.n. vote on palestinian statehood which of course is expected in less than a month in new york but pentagon and leadership of a sickly speaking with one voice in it and that israel is using that as an excuse to detract attention away from that and to actually try and get international support not to recognize a palestinian state really

a we've heard from the israeli foreign minister of a dog even into quoting him he said that the palestinian authority was responsible for thursday's attacks and for this latest wave of violence and he's bitter this proves that any kind of palestinian talk about peace and wanting to resume the peace process is often reality impressive it is as far as ramallah is from new york now now bill shaath and other palestinian leaders has said that this is madness and that israel is trying to use this as an excuse to not get that you will vote past having said that later today the arab league will be meeting in cairo to look at the latest violence and what can and should be done paula what about the violence on the israeli egypt border that examines relations between the two with protests at the israeli embassy in cairo what are the implications of that. well the latest word we have is that cairo had decided to record the head of it diplomatic mission here in as well it was earlier talk of the egyptian ambassador being

recorded certainly this is the most serious diplomatic situation we've seen between egypt and israel for quite some time you need to remember of course that egypt and jordan are the only countries here who are neighbors of israel that the israeli government has diplomatic relations with it's this relationship with kai was a cheery if you will have is well you know a very serious situation that most of its neighbors now will take war with the country in fact if you will cause here in this world a club for israelis to deal with what has been termed a crisis very very sensitive least the any israeli defense official also said that the egyptian peace treaty was to quote him fundamental israel's existence so certainly a lot of alarm bells sounding here in tel aviv for fear that the current situation could merely carry eight even further. right argues falsely reporting live from tel aviv thanks for that update. u.n. delegation is heading to syria to research the situation on the ground with reports

of twenty new deaths during the latest spate of anti-government protest but despite president answers claims that the army operations against civilians how to end it well the international pressure on the syrian leader is mounting despite moscow's refusal to support the u.s. initiative demanding that arson steps down the u.s. has imposed a fresh set of economic sanctions with the e.u. preparing more penalties targeting the country's oil sector analyst james don't suppose such measures would prove decisive but don't look realistic. the americans have been very clear they know their influence and ability to change their behavior is limited they've always said it had 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 will now in europe in specially really have to work hard to persuade the russians that they are rights on syria and that russia is currently wrong so that is the next important step and i think we

should focus on one particular element which is really important to go in the 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 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 obviously i do think there is more than rhetoric to what the u.s. and europeans are saying right now. still to come here on our t. mark in history in twenty years so it's an attempt from the old girlfriend child and the soviet union's government was boarded a second of our special reports is just ahead. but first world stock markets have plummeted amid signs of a possible u.s. recession and renewed whereis over the health of europe's banks investor confidence has been dealt a severe blow and a massive sell off at the end of the week. i explained well economic fears continue

to build. 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 us 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 nearly that crisis continues to be having a huge impact on the lives of people all around the world those people that will

promise that three years later the economy would be doing much better and now always. 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. well fears of a repeat of the global financial crisis of two thousand and eight are spreading global panic dr jason johnson a professor of political science thanks only reassuring investors will save the u.s. from recession the companies that have lost over the last two days or two weeks these companies aren't magically not working anymore it's just a people's confidence is at an all time lows so it confidence that is what we will see another recession of confidence improves the economy while the only problem with that is when someone actually wants to call it or most of us 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 you have just leaching to be passed united states if the president can sort some control and there's still some confidence in our future economy but. inertia inability right now to give the economy a group that right now it looks like the chances of brock 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 they're going to feel a bit more confident if it looks like obama's chances of being real like that are slim then everyone's going to get more nervous risk and you know why do you want your ministration might act policy wise. for the turbulent markets don't justify traders of course with private investments and pension funds on the line our very own resident in new york as people there how they protect their savings. as the global economy continues to be volatile where do you feel like your money is

safe best this week let's talk about that the u.s. based on the stock market are you kidding me. i'll go to bed i love las vegas play blackjack or play roulette that's when you have a chance you have face i mean it's not too much but i'm still worried because they're. calling but you haven't called out yet you know it will come back to show you have money invested. they don't trust it that much more just haven't got the money if you have the cash now's the time to buy everything but what if it just keeps crashing further you have the money to lose you lose it if you don't downplay it you have money invested own best we cover your hard times and everything in economy is not stable so i just at this present moment the stock market is not safe so where's your money matters the way it goes up and down it's really it's just. so

i have no faith and 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 or put another mattress i don't think that's going to work too well but what about in gold you can put some in gold but warren buffett says you take something from. under the earth you dig it up and put dollars into it and you have to get your money back out from selling the 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. go through on the mind the currency so is there a chance that we could go back to a system of bartering for more local kind of exchanges of all things so right now we're living in an. the guys who were there there would be global more of us with these there was the money that lowers the risk being signs of 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 right. it's quarter past the hour coming up the sky's the limit our. international air show your mom now with hands on access to some of the events of the latest and greatest buying machine. and exit stage the last george of the miss is its grass known peter director over comments made about st. kim jong il has rolled into russia by train in a rare trip abroad for the north korean leader will be meeting president anything is very different talks in a few days time the visit comes as yang struggles under a set of western sanctions while military tension on the korean peninsula rumbles on our tuesday congreve reports. thought that energy corp is largely central

to these discussions is something the president or his self has championed quite recently and when it comes to these two countries or always in the background this is issue of the denuclearization of north korea and russia heavily involved here in the six party talks are ongoing trying to meet that end goal because kim jong il himself this is his third visit to russia is first occurring in two thousand and one and i was on the quest of prime minister vladimir putin then president stay for three weeks came back in two thousand and two it's the third time this time we've been invited by prism it better that's the first time these leaders are going to meet face to face and that's expected to occur next week in the russian republic the reason for this timeline well kim jong il he likes a trial by train is favorite form of transport armor train in fact this whole visit comes on the back of russia pledging fifty thousand tons of humanitarian aid to

help with north korea's food shortage and the first batch of that just arrived yesterday in north korean ports. where twenty years ago to the day history was in the making on the streets of moscow the city was under military curfew on the second day of an attempt to overthrow. then president soviet union parties tom barton looks back now at the attempted coup that prompted all in the collapse of the u.s.s.r. . 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 . 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 switched on our t.v. camera without much hope of being able to go on air tonight you can see barricades being erected. surveys 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 i might tell you. 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 the loop of kamar thought her son dimitri was safe with a friend in fact he was manning the barricades. judging by

documents that i'd been able to see another mitri had climbed on my vehicle to cover its vision slits after the in that he jumped into the 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 petrified by car their poor picture into bottles setting them off fire throwing them at the tanks and conspirators already wavering 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 here few soldiers were bang 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 august coup had come close to succeeding but in the end it went the way of yeltsin and democracy tom fox and r.t. . let's take a look now at some other news from around the world this hour libyan rebels are closing in on the capital tripoli from both east and west follows their statement that the strategic oil rigs are now under their full control after more than a week of fierce fighting as far as the recent rebel capture of a major oil refinery in the we are as well as of the city of refunds native's continued support as healthy advances by as you go to africa forces and significantly weaken government troops. a group of gunmen has ambushed abbas in

karate carrying plainclothes police police officers killing at least six and injuring fifty. their way to carry out a raid when our men surrounded them and opened fire and came out police chief announced fifty two people have been killed in the city but in the past three days pakistan's largest city has a long history of political and ethnic ethnical violence over three hundred people have been killed in karachi in july. a bus has lost control and overturned on a mountain highway in southern afghanistan leaving thirty five people dead and injuring dozens some of them critically it happened just outside the city of kandahar on the main road from the capital but officials say reckless driving is most likely the cause of the crash such accidents are common occurrences in the country where roads and vehicles are often poorly maintained. is a mere twenty four hours before this year's international air show closes in the

moscow region but the action showing no sign of waning that's defying air stunts and multibillion dollar deals are just some of the highlights with thousands of spectators watching it all on the ground are the stories to say is our t's main man at the shop. the march two thousand and eleven international as show is in full swing look at this beauty behind me this is the sukhoi thirty four ball but it's more like a topical five it's called obama and that is we have those on down the tarmac here we have a couple of sukhoi thirty tactical fighter jets serious piece of russian military aviation hardware right here as we are enjoying the two thousand and eleven international air show the weather is not perfect but yet the crowds are still here to see the shows fighters cargo planes helicopters noises beyond noises here we were watching the french rustbelt fighter putting some radical turns

and twists in the one point i did think it was going to end an absolute tragedy disaster but of course these pilots are professionals and you can try to simulate the machines they are here as well as i have a go flying perhaps an f. twenty two raptor or even maybe could they have the game of the teeth fifty that was debuted days ago russia's super stealth strike. fifty so it's a lovely day is so far the weather is not bad yet it's cloudy but the game goes on the show goes on and i'll pass it over to my colleague with an insightful story about the sukhoi superjet one hundred passenger liner apparently getting boeing a run for its money his r.t.c. a go to is going to. approve the time just a year ago this project is now officially in business for two hundred. from their lines in russia and from abroad now we have it today. in the couch and me company can pull out of last major so we are now looking for the and that's

a healthy means to get close to the next level yes a joint project between russia's aviation giants groups and project international and several dozen other companies this is the first civil aircraft produced in russia from scratch since the collapse of the was a star and you see where all the fuss is about when you see. if you don't want to demo flight do as they say touch the plane ourselves this is actually the first full force of project one hundred which was sold to an airline it was named after we got in the first man in space and this plane has already made several international flights we're told that this is the basic version of the chair so nothing special but pretty simple and modern walking being. what it's going to work man so overhead that will be pretty spacious it's not noisy the seats the seats are pretty comfortable but we're all i have to say that this is

a whole new level of comfort paired to this plane's main and validated rivals which are the team you want thirty four and the forty two. geared up with some of the most advanced mediation equipment with a maximum range of around two thousand miles the super super jets will be placed so that your aircraft with a price tag of around twenty five million dollars per piece which is around twenty percent cheaper than its main rivals there's interest in the super jet from orn airlines as well generally as the flying experience is no difference to flying around your fanatic on one thing and a couple of little quip goes over or else they're missing electro each developers say they will continue working on the super jet to help me get rid of any teething problems and with a line of orders already secured the promise to deliver over one hundred sixty planes by the end of twenty sixty gigahertz going to r t moscow region.
